Lee said the effort to expand the
physical medicine and rehabilitation
department has been in the works for
more than five years.
Asa precursor to the expansion, the
state requires that hospitals submit a cer
tificate of need, Stinneford said.
“It’s a process whereby hospitals
have to keep the state informed,” she
said.
Stinneford said the notification
process is a means for the state to make
sure North Carolina hospitals offer a
wide variety of treatments and special
ties.

Pet Rescue Team in Place for Crises
Anew animal rescue team
hopes its services will help
area residents care for their
animals in times of crisis.
By Theresa Chen
Staff Writer
This hurricane season, domestic ani
mals and their owners can look forward
to better protection in times of crisis.
State officials established an Orange
County Animal Rescue Team in May
that is specifically designed to deal with
large numbers of animal emergencies
during natural disasters such as hurri
canes, tornadoes and ice storms. An ani
mal emergency ranges from disposing of
dead animals to treating disaster-related
injuries.
“I think the experiences of the folks
down east during Hurricane Floyd
shows what can happen (to animals)
when there aren’t well-developed local

violators can range from clearing spots
for those who have paid for parking
permits to towing those who have dirt
ied parking lots.
“They’re taking up spaces that are
leased,” Harrison said. “They leave
trash and beer bottles in the parking
lot.”
The church took action against illegal
parkers to clean up their lots and to
make way for paying customers.
But the main reason establishments
tow cars is that illegally parked cars pre
vent them from doing business,
Shoulders said.
University Square tows primarily
during the day, when lunchtime cus
tomers fill the 165 parking spaces.
Security guards monitoring the shop
ping center check for cars parking ille
gally.
“They eyeball people and tow the
ones that leave (their cars and go out
side the complex),” said Shoulders,

plans in an emergency,” said Orange
County Health Director Rosemary
Summers, who appointed the county
animal rescue committee.
“(The rescue team) is an effort to
make sure we’re ready locally in case
there’s an event that puts a large number
of animals at risk.”
The importance of animal response
in emergencies became evident after
Floyd, when many human lives were
put in danger because of animals, said
Animal Protection Society Director Pat
Sanford.
“The state realized there was a prob
lem because some people were reluctant
to leave their homes if they had pets,”
she said. “And the more animals you
have, the more likely you are to stay
with them.”
Sanford said other problems included
rescue teams being sent into hazardous
situations to save animals and pets from
drowning.
Although the rescue team will provide
two county sites where pet owners can

to 15 cars per week.
Most establishments tow about 10
cars per week, although the University
Baptist Church had already sent away
two cars on Monday, said Walter
McCauley, the church’s sexton.
Paying the towing fee might be the
most painful part of the towing experi
ence; people usually surrender $65 to
$75 per violation.
But some towing services offer S3O
discounts if students show their UNC
ONE Cards.
Even so, Talbert said, illegal parkers
take their penalties without too much
fanfare.
“Everything runs smoothly, and
nobody usually puts up a fuss.”

“What we’re hoping is each family

they’ll know what needs to be done in
case of a disaster,” Sanford said.
The county rescue squad is broken
down into four teams, each of which will
create a manual informing people of
what to do with their animals in emer
gency situations. The manuals will also
be given to emergency workers at 911

The county animal rescue committee,

McAdams and Royce Hardin, is also
responsible for coordinating organized

Sanford said the key to returning lost

LOS ANGELES - The front of a
Boeing 747 engine that broke apart
shortly after takeoff had been damaged,
investigators said Monday, and they
were trying to determine whether a bird
could have been pulled into the engine.
Witnesses on a state beach said they
heard loud bangs and saw flames shoot
ing from one engine before watching a
large cone-shaped exhaust assembly
and two other chunks of metal fell from
the KLM Royal Dutch Airlines jet
Sunday afternoon.
The four-engine jet, bound for
Amsterdam, Netherlands, with 449 peo
ple aboard, circled over the ocean to
dump fuel, then landed safely at the air
port. There were no injuries, and pas
sengers applauded as the pilot set the
plane down on the runway.
After inspectors looked over the jet
Second-Hand Smoking Death
Leads to $700,000 Judgment
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO - Invoking an
international treaty rarely applied in
such cases, a federal judge on Monday
ordered a Greek airline to pay $700,000
for its role in a passenger’s asthma-relat
ed death aboard a cigarette-smoke filled
plane.
U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer
said Olympic Airways attendants
should have switched the seat of Abid
fflj* Daily (Bar Hrrl
because you’ve got an 80 percent
chance of recovery (with it). Without, it’s
15 percent under normal circum
stances.”
Sanford said two forms of identifica
tion were recommended, including the
rabies tag, which is required by state law
for dogs. Other possible forms of iden
tification include personal identification,
tattoos and microchips.
Microchips, which cost sls at the
Orange County Animal Shelter, are
injected between the animal’s shoulder
blades and can be scanned for the
owner’s information.
Sauls said increased communication
between animal rescue teams is anoth
er of the county squad’s goals.
“During Floyd, we had out-of-state
rescue groups who came in and did
good work, but were totally uncoordi
nated with anyone else. It was a disaster
within a disaster.”
The City Editor can be reached
at citydesk@unc.edu.
Monday morning, National
Transportation Safety Board investigator
Richard Parker said a bird should not
have caused the back of the engine to
fall away. Inspectors also didn’t see any
feathers in the engine, he said. “There
could be a number of things, such as
maybe a panel coming loose, or metal
fatigue, or something else,” he said.
But spokesmen for KLM and for the
Federal Aviation Administration said
they were still focusing on the possibili
ty a bird could have become caught in
the engine. Inspections showed the
engine’s intake cowling and fan blades
were also damaged, said Doug Killian, a
spokesman for Northwest Airlines,
which has a partnership with KLM.
Earlier this month, the FAA ordered
maintenance examinations for the same
type of engine, manufactured by
General Electric Cos., focusing on a part
called the compressor spool.
M. Hanson after he complained that
nearby smoke was bothering him on the
January 1998 flight from Egypt to the
United States.
“Had Olympic Airways’ flight crew
responded appropriately to the repeat
ed requests to move Dr. Hanson from
this area, he might be alive today,” the
judge wrote.
In holding Olympic partially liable,
Breyer cited the Warsaw Convention
treaty.
All international carriers must sign
the Warsaw treaty, amended since it
was signed in 1929, which sets limits on
airlines’ financial liability for accident
victims.
Breyer said the flight crew’s failure to
move the victim away from the smok
ing section following a request that they
do so, including one before Hanson got
on the plane, “can be considered an
‘accident’ under the convention.”
