PltBIIIHFHI•.A2 Delinquent taxes again courthouse priority BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - The collection of delinquent real estate taxes is again a stated priority for Meigs County officials, and Prosecuting Attorney Colleen Williams said she plans to right away begin efforts to collect nearly $3 miltion in owed .real estate taxes . Williams said she will begin with collection letters design~d to put de~nquent taxpayers on notice. Foreclosure actions are also part of the plan, she said, and they will be filed once an out· side bonded attorney begins to provide title search information. Attention turns to the issue of back taxes with each new administration, but few if any legal proceedings are filed in an· effon to sell properties for taxes owing. Past county officials have negotiated re-payment terms and collected delinquent taxes on some very large cases, but the pages upon pages of delinquent ta11 accounts have been basically ignored for years, due to office policy or the sometimes complicated, time-consuming and expensive process of collections. . Williams said she has been assured of cooperation from county commissioners, Treasurer Peggy Yost and Auditor Mary Byer-Hill, all of whom play a part in the collections· process. However, none of them were able to provide a current total delinquency or the current collection rate. Byer-Hill came closest . to an answer to the questiori of just how much is owed. She said $2,995,000 was owed to the county in delinquent taxes at the end of the ftl'St-half collections last year. At one time, Meigs County had relatively-high collection rate - over 90 percent . - but County Commissioner Mick Davenpon said that rate has dropped into the low &Os. That means more people than ever are not paying their land taxes.

Congress is now deciding whetherto reverse a 1.996 law that bars legal immignmts from qualifying for those benefits during their first five years in this country. This is a smart mid humane idea that would pay for itself. Early immuruzation <tnd prenatal care keeps moms and their kids out of expensive emergency rooms and holds down health costs. The House bill lifts the ban. but powerful senators are resisting. and Obama should make the repeal an early test of his influence . As Jennifer Ng'andu, a health specialist at the Hispanic group La Raza. told the New York Times: "Children sho~d not be forced to wait five years for healthcare. Five years is a lifetime to a child." A second chance for Obama will be canceling the Bush administration's campaign to raid workplaces and deport unc.Jocumented workers. Homehind Security chief Michael Chertoff boasts about .ejecting 350,000 illegals , but in many .cases all he's done is tear hardworking taxpaying families apart. And since · the deportees account for only about 3 per, cent of the 12 million illegals already here. he's done almost nothing to solve the larger problem . . Obama 's biggest decision on immigration will be whether to push for' a com- prehensive refonn package that includes a way for undocumented families to legalize their status. We'd like to see him do that. He should heed Bush's warning and spend his capital early, before it dissipates . As Cardinal Roger. Mahony of Los Angeles said recently: " Immigrants must be brought out of the shadows so that they caR--fully contribute to olir nation's ero' nomic and social wellbeing." . We are also pragmatistS. Comprehensive reform might have to wait until the economy improves. But smaller measures WI?IJid be easier to swallow this yell!, . and one good example IS called . . · DREAM (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act). Under this proposal, young people who carne here illegally as children could acquire pemmnent residency by earning a two-year college degree or serving two years in the military. Obama likes to say that he'll listen to Republicans if they have good ideas. Well, his predecessor has given · him one: Improve the lot of immigrants, and improve the prospects of his party in the bargain.

Come Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009. the world will join us in bearing witness to the peaceful one-minute transition of presidential power as Barack Obama places his hand on Abraham Lincoln's · Bible and recjtes those 35 short words found in Article 2, Section I· of the U.S. Constitution , adding the same humble and beseeching prayer of other ·American b~~~ent: "So help me, This is a moment of jubilation.

Jeb Bush . the presi,dent's brother and former · governor of Florida, also used his remarks to eloquently discuss the day~ ahead as Obama prepares to take ' Donna · Brazile offtce. Jan. 20 is more than a moment of transition. It will be a moment of transformation and new possibilities for the United States to rebuild its ewnomy and to restore its image and prestige around the globe .. Based on what 1 heard, read and was during my brief pre-inaugural visit to Europe and Africa, the world awaits this new chapter in American history with all the hope and anticipation that we hold in our hearts. The p,urpose of my visit was to ptuticiJ?ale in a panel discussion wllh colleagues . from both the Democratic and Republican Party. While many of us disagreed on many aspects of foreign and domestic policy, we spent most of our sesstons agreeing on the best direction in which the new president should try lead the country, albeit with some of the usual partisan twists. Never could I have imagined the welcome heaped on our relatively undeserving group of pundits and politicos. We were the surrogate recipients of ~ titanic outpouring of gratitude and best . wishes for our new president ,and the Ame1ican people. Jn· the midst of all that is going wrong in the world and the hostility we often face as Americans when we travel abroad. this was truly a love afli1ir. and'c;tch one of us felt the love. Rove, . Bush , · former Cabinet member and Whit": House chief of staff Andy Card, outgoing DNC Chairman Howard Dean and my CNN cqlleague Paul Begala ~ould hardly walk around the conference center without being swamped. Nigerians, who often see us on TV cable shows. wanted to shake our hands and take our pictures with tears overflowing with their joy and compassion fur the United States. They wanted to hear .more about Obama 's plans in Africa and the Middle East, and they were concerned that despite his.African heritage, the needs and concerns of the people of Africa would not be a priority. Quite the contrary. we assured them. Given the enormous and immediate challenges he faces , Obama is unlikely to visit Af1ica this year. Even in the best of I times, we explained, most American presidents spend their tirst year focusing on .the needs of the country. And while Canadian President Steve Harper recently announcell recently that Obama will follow a U.S. presidential tradition and visit Canada in the near future, we pointed out that Canada is our No. I tmding partner. Again, this should not come as any surprise given that four of the last seven U.S. presidents ventured north following their inaugurotion. , Still, the Nigerians in the audience were not discouraged . ln fact, they are fairly optimistic th.at Ob<tma will tum his attention at some point to strengthening the U.S. relationship with one of its most important strategic partners - not just in the war on terror, but also in trade. At the conclusion of our cvcm. we all sat together at one table as we awaited the anival of Bill Clinton, who would deliver the confer- ence 's concluding remarks. Clinton~ who had earlier vis, · ited a hospital to see the progress being made 10 help children with HIV/AIDS, summed it up perfectly: "Obama is prepared to lead the United States of America." The world awaits this moment with us, a moment of trdllsformation and jubilation. Of course, like many Americans, they are deeply worried about the path ahead and they are careful to manage their expectation. · Obama will .face many . tough challenges. He Qeeds · to prove to C:::ongress and the American people that he is up to the task . And he will face some difficulties as he lobbies Congress. Already1 before taking office, he has had a hard time in Washington. There are . some who already believe Obama will renege ·on. his campaign promises. But what Obarna must do come Tuesday and throughout his term of office is set the framework for real~ istic expectations of what can and should be demanded of him, his administration, ourselves and one another. . The Africans are praying with us. They will be watching and, for once, we should know they are wishing us tlie very best. They are rejoicing. They see in us an e11ample of what they too can become. The road to freedom, the respect for the rule of law and the peaceful transition of power - this is truly a remarkable moment.

Congress is now deciding whetherto reverse a 1.996 law that bars legal immignmts from qualifying for those benefits during their first five years in this country. This is a smart mid humane idea that would pay for itself. Early immuruzation <tnd prenatal care keeps moms and their kids out of expensive emergency rooms and holds down health costs. The House bill lifts the ban. but powerful senators are resisting. and Obama should make the repeal an early test of his influence . As Jennifer Ng'andu, a health specialist at the Hispanic group La Raza. told the New York Times: "Children sho~d not be forced to wait five years for healthcare. Five years is a lifetime to a child." A second chance for Obama will be canceling the Bush administration's campaign to raid workplaces and deport unc.Jocumented workers. Homehind Security chief Michael Chertoff boasts about .ejecting 350,000 illegals , but in many .cases all he's done is tear hardworking taxpaying families apart. And since · the deportees account for only about 3 per, cent of the 12 million illegals already here. he's done almost nothing to solve the larger problem . . Obama 's biggest decision on immigration will be whether to push for' a com- prehensive refonn package that includes a way for undocumented families to legalize their status. We'd like to see him do that. He should heed Bush's warning and spend his capital early, before it dissipates . As Cardinal Roger. Mahony of Los Angeles said recently: " Immigrants must be brought out of the shadows so that they caR--fully contribute to olir nation's ero' nomic and social wellbeing." . We are also pragmatistS. Comprehensive reform might have to wait until the economy improves. But smaller measures WI?IJid be easier to swallow this yell!, . and one good example IS called . . · DREAM (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act). Under this proposal, young people who carne here illegally as children could acquire pemmnent residency by earning a two-year college degree or serving two years in the military. Obama likes to say that he'll listen to Republicans if they have good ideas. Well, his predecessor has given · him one: Improve the lot of immigrants, and improve the prospects of his party in the bargain.

Come Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009. the world will join us in bearing witness to the peaceful one-minute transition of presidential power as Barack Obama places his hand on Abraham Lincoln's · Bible and recjtes those 35 short words found in Article 2, Section I· of the U.S. Constitution , adding the same humble and beseeching prayer of other ·American b~~~ent: "So help me, This is a moment of jubilation.

Jeb Bush . the presi,dent's brother and former · governor of Florida, also used his remarks to eloquently discuss the day~ ahead as Obama prepares to take ' Donna · Brazile offtce. Jan. 20 is more than a moment of transition. It will be a moment of transformation and new possibilities for the United States to rebuild its ewnomy and to restore its image and prestige around the globe .. Based on what 1 heard, read and was during my brief pre-inaugural visit to Europe and Africa, the world awaits this new chapter in American history with all the hope and anticipation that we hold in our hearts. The p,urpose of my visit was to ptuticiJ?ale in a panel discussion wllh colleagues . from both the Democratic and Republican Party. While many of us disagreed on many aspects of foreign and domestic policy, we spent most of our sesstons agreeing on the best direction in which the new president should try lead the country, albeit with some of the usual partisan twists. Never could I have imagined the welcome heaped on our relatively undeserving group of pundits and politicos. We were the surrogate recipients of ~ titanic outpouring of gratitude and best . wishes for our new president ,and the Ame1ican people. Jn· the midst of all that is going wrong in the world and the hostility we often face as Americans when we travel abroad. this was truly a love afli1ir. and'c;tch one of us felt the love. Rove, . Bush , · former Cabinet member and Whit": House chief of staff Andy Card, outgoing DNC Chairman Howard Dean and my CNN cqlleague Paul Begala ~ould hardly walk around the conference center without being swamped. Nigerians, who often see us on TV cable shows. wanted to shake our hands and take our pictures with tears overflowing with their joy and compassion fur the United States. They wanted to hear .more about Obama 's plans in Africa and the Middle East, and they were concerned that despite his.African heritage, the needs and concerns of the people of Africa would not be a priority. Quite the contrary. we assured them. Given the enormous and immediate challenges he faces , Obama is unlikely to visit Af1ica this year. Even in the best of I times, we explained, most American presidents spend their tirst year focusing on .the needs of the country. And while Canadian President Steve Harper recently announcell recently that Obama will follow a U.S. presidential tradition and visit Canada in the near future, we pointed out that Canada is our No. I tmding partner. Again, this should not come as any surprise given that four of the last seven U.S. presidents ventured north following their inaugurotion. , Still, the Nigerians in the audience were not discouraged . ln fact, they are fairly optimistic th.at Ob<tma will tum his attention at some point to strengthening the U.S. relationship with one of its most important strategic partners - not just in the war on terror, but also in trade. At the conclusion of our cvcm. we all sat together at one table as we awaited the anival of Bill Clinton, who would deliver the confer- ence 's concluding remarks. Clinton~ who had earlier vis, · ited a hospital to see the progress being made 10 help children with HIV/AIDS, summed it up perfectly: "Obama is prepared to lead the United States of America." The world awaits this moment with us, a moment of trdllsformation and jubilation. Of course, like many Americans, they are deeply worried about the path ahead and they are careful to manage their expectation. · Obama will .face many . tough challenges. He Qeeds · to prove to C:::ongress and the American people that he is up to the task . And he will face some difficulties as he lobbies Congress. Already1 before taking office, he has had a hard time in Washington. There are . some who already believe Obama will renege ·on. his campaign promises. But what Obarna must do come Tuesday and throughout his term of office is set the framework for real~ istic expectations of what can and should be demanded of him, his administration, ourselves and one another. . The Africans are praying with us. They will be watching and, for once, we should know they are wishing us tlie very best. They are rejoicing. They see in us an e11ample of what they too can become. The road to freedom, the respect for the rule of law and the peaceful transition of power - this is truly a remarkable moment.

Founded in 1.876 , Rio Grande is a unique institution that is both a two-year community college and a private university. The institution offers an outstanding student-centered program and is one of the best educ·ational values in the ctiuntry through its extensive scholarship and financial aid programs . This year, Rio Grande officials decided to also invite alumni and friends back to campus for these special days this year so that they can also tour the campus, visit with old friends and see some of the renovated and new facilities.. "What a great opportunity for alumni and new students to both come to campus," said Annette Ward. director of alumni relations at Rio Grande . "Our alumni will be able to share their ex~riences on campus with the new students." Rebecca Long, director of ·admissions at Rio Grande , added that alumni can give the interested students a unique insight into campus life. They can talk to them about what they liked about campus life, and give them an excellent . understanding of how the wide range of programs and stu. dent act1v1hes on campus .affected them. .

The investigation ran into a saies of obstacles one day after the pilot ditched the . plane carrying I55 people mto the river following an app;uent collision with birds · that caused both engines to fail . The jet went down just feet from the Manhattan skyline. All aboard survived. BOih engines broke off the plane sometime after the erash and sank to the ·bottom of the river, forcing investigators to use sonar to seach for them. The current was espe. cially swift, malting it imposSible for crews to hoist the aircraft out of the water and remove its flight data reconler and cockpit voice recorder. Investigators also had yet to interview the pilot,. Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger. The pilot's status as a natiooal hero rose by the hour as he took a oongmtulatory call from · the president, earned effusive praise from passengers on the plane and become the sul\ject of a growing ~obal fan club. The pilot was m good spirits and showing no outward signs of stress from the ordeal, a pilots union official said. · (:rews planned to pull the plane from the water on Saturday before putting it on a barge. Investigators want to closely inspect the engine to figure out how ex.actly .the birds caused the plane ro fail so badly and so fast. They may also ellamine any feathers remaining in the mgine to determine the type of bird . specres, helping prevent future mishaps. . The type of engine on the Airbus 320 is designed to withstand a 4-pound bird strike, saia Jamie Jewell , a spokeswoman for CFM International of Cincinnati, which manufactull$ tbe engines. That's fairly typical for CUIIllllelcial airliners and their engines. although larger Canada geese c-dll exceed. 12 pounds. · · Kitty Higgins. a spokeswoman for the National Transportation Safety Board, also suggested that part of the investigation will be to "celebrate what worked ~ ;· something of a mrity for an agency thai fOL-uses on figuring out what went wrong in a disaster. 1 ~A lot of things went right yesterday, including the way that 001 only the crew functioned, but the way the plane functioned." . The investigation began as new delails emerged about · why the pilot chose to land the plane in the river - and 001 at two nearby airports. The pilot twice told air controllers that he was.unable tg make the p:oper turn after reporting a "double bifd strilte." The tower believed Sullenberger meant that both his jet engines had been damaged by bird impacts. The accident also raised questions about whether airports around the country are doing enough to deal with bird flocks. The agency tliat operates New York City's major airports said it has a multimillion-dollar program to chase birds off its property. but can only do so much to .protect planes om;e they are in the air. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said it APplloto Kitty Higgins. National Transportation Safety Board board member speaks during a news conference on Friday in New York. Federal investigators said both engines of the US Airways jetliner that ditched into the Hudson River were missing Friday as reports emerged that the pilot who safely IBilded the .aircraft had considered 811 emergency landing at two airp<irts. Police divers were using sonar to find the engines.. Kitty Higgins ofthe National Transportation Safety Board said both apparently came off after hilling the water Thursday. ' kills thousands of birds every ~ar in the marshy waterways and tidal flats that surround irs two major airports in Queens, and uses guns. pyrotedmics and hawks to drive away birds. Amopg the other tactics: Bird eggs are coated in oil to prevent them from hatching. Nests are removed. The agency also plays ·ra."Ordings of bird distress calls. and landscapers remove any shrubs and trees that might be attractive to certain species. The Air Transport Association, an airline association, has had a "bird strike" task force for years examin· ing things that can be done to reduce the danger of a hit. Among other things. the· task force has arr.rnged for any feathers collected from damaged aircraft to be sent to a lab at the Smithsonian where they can be analyzed to . ' ' determine rhe species involved. Knowing the type of bird can help authorities decide bow to control flocks in busy airspace. The Port Authority l'Ould 001 immediately provide statistics on bird strikes at New York City airports, but pilots appear to report close calls roUtinely. . Sometimes aircrafi have to take evasive action to avoid a !lock of. geese'. Other times. it's too late and they can only hope for the best. One Boeing 737 pilot writing about a strilte in a safety report described the smell of burnt feathers and seabird after a gull was sucked into his rear engine during a landing at LaGuardia in 2004. · · If an engine takes in a large bird - or several birds at once - fan blades may break, causing tm imbalanl-e in the engine's rotation and severe vibrations, said Kevin Poormon. who tests the ability of aircnlft engines to with· stand bird strikes. Those vibmtions l'Onceivably could be strong enough to cause the engine to come loose from its mounting, Poormon said. Passengers heaped more praise on Sullenberger, copilot Jeff Skiles and their crew tor how .they handled the landing and evacuation. Mark P. Hood. of Charlotte. N.C.. said he felt a jolt ripple through the jet as th011gh a baseball . bat hit the engine close to the George Washington Bridge. "I thinl<: everyone was holding their breath. making their peace . saying their pmyers," Hood said. ' His wife. in an interview outside their California home, called him "a pilot's pilot'' and said talk of him being a national hero was "a linle weird.'" At a City Hall ceremony Friday to honor those wbo came to the aid of the str.md-· ed passengers. · Mayor Michael Bloomberg said S11llenberger's actions '"inspired people around the city, · and millions more around the world." Higgins said that investigators will look: at his actions in preventing widespre:ld death during the episode. "'It i.s a very rare event," she said. '"Pik>ls trolio for this routinely. through the use of sim- · ulators. So ifs something that they plan for. but not something that i.s ellecuted with any regularity at all." , Part of the NTSB's job. she said, will be to look at "everything that made yesterday"s accident so surVivable." Another possibly helpful factor during a cmsh is the presence of fuel on board. Jet · fuel is lighter than water. and can help make an aircraft more buoyant - as long as it doesn't explode on impact. The air in the cabin also helps the plane float. The NTSB is working with the FBI and the city to retrieve any video evidence recorded by city citizens. The Coast Guard is trying to ensure that fuel srill in the aircraft is contained. if possible. and doesn't spill into the river. Police and emergency crews also pulled about 15 pieces of carry-on luggage, the door of the plane. sheared pieces of metal and flotation devices from the water. The plane. bound for / Charlotte. N.C .. took off from LaGuardia Airport at 3:26 p.m. Thursday. Less than a minute later. the pilot reported a "double bird strilte" and said he needed to return to LaGuardia. said Doug Church, a spokesman lor the National Air Tmffic Controllers Association.

C•'IISO AM) Veal& Dear• ASSOClATED PRESS WRITeRS NEW YORK lnvestigaiQrs trying to determine bow birds could have , brought down US Airways Aighl 1549 were hampered by the swirling, bone-chilling waters of the Hudson River on Friday a5· they lOQiced for the . plane's _two 'bUssing engmes and tned to retrieve its black bolles. . The investigation ran into a saies of obstacles one day after the pilot ditched the . plane carrying I55 people mto the river following an app;uent collision with birds · that caused both engines to fail . The jet went down just feet from the Manhattan skyline. All aboard survived. BOih engines broke off the plane sometime after the erash and sank to the ·bottom of the river, forcing investigators to use sonar to seach for them. The current was espe. cially swift, malting it imposSible for crews to hoist the aircraft out of the water and remove its flight data reconler and cockpit voice recorder. Investigators also had yet to interview the pilot,. Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger. The pilot's status as a natiooal hero rose by the hour as he took a oongmtulatory call from · the president, earned effusive praise from passengers on the plane and become the sul\ject of a growing ~obal fan club. The pilot was m good spirits and showing no outward signs of stress from the ordeal, a pilots union official said. · (:rews planned to pull the plane from the water on Saturday before putting it on a barge. Investigators want to closely inspect the engine to figure out how ex.actly .the birds caused the plane ro fail so badly and so fast. They may also ellamine any feathers remaining in the mgine to determine the type of bird . specres, helping prevent future mishaps. . The type of engine on the Airbus 320 is designed to withstand a 4-pound bird strike, saia Jamie Jewell , a spokeswoman for CFM International of Cincinnati, which manufactull$ tbe engines. That's fairly typical for CUIIllllelcial airliners and their engines. although larger Canada geese c-dll exceed. 12 pounds. · · Kitty Higgins. a spokeswoman for the National Transportation Safety Board, also suggested that part of the investigation will be to "celebrate what worked ~ ;· something of a mrity for an agency thai fOL-uses on figuring out what went wrong in a disaster. 1 ~A lot of things went right yesterday, including the way that 001 only the crew functioned, but the way the plane functioned." . The investigation began as new delails emerged about · why the pilot chose to land the plane in the river - and 001 at two nearby airports. The pilot twice told air controllers that he was.unable tg make the p:oper turn after reporting a "double bifd strilte." The tower believed Sullenberger meant that both his jet engines had been damaged by bird impacts. The accident also raised questions about whether airports around the country are doing enough to deal with bird flocks. The agency tliat operates New York City's major airports said it has a multimillion-dollar program to chase birds off its property. but can only do so much to .protect planes om;e they are in the air. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said it APplloto Kitty Higgins. National Transportation Safety Board board member speaks during a news conference on Friday in New York. Federal investigators said both engines of the US Airways jetliner that ditched into the Hudson River were missing Friday as reports emerged that the pilot who safely IBilded the .aircraft had considered 811 emergency landing at two airp<irts. Police divers were using sonar to find the engines.. Kitty Higgins ofthe National Transportation Safety Board said both apparently came off after hilling the water Thursday. ' kills thousands of birds every ~ar in the marshy waterways and tidal flats that surround irs two major airports in Queens, and uses guns. pyrotedmics and hawks to drive away birds. Amopg the other tactics: Bird eggs are coated in oil to prevent them from hatching. Nests are removed. The agency also plays ·ra."Ordings of bird distress calls. and landscapers remove any shrubs and trees that might be attractive to certain species. The Air Transport Association, an airline association, has had a "bird strike" task force for years examin· ing things that can be done to reduce the danger of a hit. Among other things. the· task force has arr.rnged for any feathers collected from damaged aircraft to be sent to a lab at the Smithsonian where they can be analyzed to . ' ' determine rhe species involved. Knowing the type of bird can help authorities decide bow to control flocks in busy airspace. The Port Authority l'Ould 001 immediately provide statistics on bird strikes at New York City airports, but pilots appear to report close calls roUtinely. . Sometimes aircrafi have to take evasive action to avoid a !lock of. geese'. Other times. it's too late and they can only hope for the best. One Boeing 737 pilot writing about a strilte in a safety report described the smell of burnt feathers and seabird after a gull was sucked into his rear engine during a landing at LaGuardia in 2004. · · If an engine takes in a large bird - or several birds at once - fan blades may break, causing tm imbalanl-e in the engine's rotation and severe vibrations, said Kevin Poormon. who tests the ability of aircnlft engines to with· stand bird strikes. Those vibmtions l'Onceivably could be strong enough to cause the engine to come loose from its mounting, Poormon said. Passengers heaped more praise on Sullenberger, copilot Jeff Skiles and their crew tor how .they handled the landing and evacuation. Mark P. Hood. of Charlotte. N.C.. said he felt a jolt ripple through the jet as th011gh a baseball . bat hit the engine close to the George Washington Bridge. "I thinl<: everyone was holding their breath. making their peace . saying their pmyers," Hood said. ' His wife. in an interview outside their California home, called him "a pilot's pilot'' and said talk of him being a national hero was "a linle weird.'" At a City Hall ceremony Friday to honor those wbo came to the aid of the str.md-· ed passengers. · Mayor Michael Bloomberg said S11llenberger's actions '"inspired people around the city, · and millions more around the world." Higgins said that investigators will look: at his actions in preventing widespre:ld death during the episode. "'It i.s a very rare event," she said. '"Pik>ls trolio for this routinely. through the use of sim- · ulators. So ifs something that they plan for. but not something that i.s ellecuted with any regularity at all." , Part of the NTSB's job. she said, will be to look at "everything that made yesterday"s accident so surVivable." Another possibly helpful factor during a cmsh is the presence of fuel on board. Jet · fuel is lighter than water. and can help make an aircraft more buoyant - as long as it doesn't explode on impact. The air in the cabin also helps the plane float. The NTSB is working with the FBI and the city to retrieve any video evidence recorded by city citizens. The Coast Guard is trying to ensure that fuel srill in the aircraft is contained. if possible. and doesn't spill into the river. Police and emergency crews also pulled about 15 pieces of carry-on luggage, the door of the plane. sheared pieces of metal and flotation devices from the water. The plane. bound for / Charlotte. N.C .. took off from LaGuardia Airport at 3:26 p.m. Thursday. Less than a minute later. the pilot reported a "double bird strilte" and said he needed to return to LaGuardia. said Doug Church, a spokesman lor the National Air Tmffic Controllers Association.

Pruning is what mak.es and keeps it small, but pruning is only a small part of the art of boasai. · . The art - pronounced BONE-sigh - began in China almost 2.000 years ago, then was carried .to Japan during the Kamakura period (1180-1333), wbe~ it was brought to a state of perfection, A bonsai planting portrays, in miniature, a natural theme such as the rugged beauty of a gnarled pine ori a windswept slope, the tranquilit>: of a grove of larclles, or the joyousness of spring in the cascading briJI<;bes of an old fruit tree bursting into bloom. To evoke such a mood, the pol must be chosen with an artistic eye; lili:ewise for the: manner in which branches are shaped, and the choice of groundcover beneath the tree, And .with all this, the plani must be kept healthy with careful attention to soil, fertilizers, watering and shelter from the cold. board STAFI' REPORT ·OBnuARIES.
