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. “They want to make sure (neighbor- 11% i Reality Check #3: Aspirin kills 1,000 %jB 11 Y people a year.

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 TOWING From Page 3 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, whose shopping center usually tows 10 SPORTS FANS Going to the game?

Although the rescue team will provide two county sites where pet owners can “They’re taking up spaces that are leased.

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.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.

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 and rescue centers. The county animal rescue committee, which consists of Sanford, Animal Control Director John Sauls and Cooperative Extension agents Karen McAdams and Royce Hardin, is also responsible for coordinating organized responses to county disasters and reunit ing owners with lost pets. Sanford said the key to returning lost animals to their owners is identification. “The problem with Floyd is that so many animals had no identification," she said. “We push identification Chinese Scientists Start N.C. Tobacco Inspection The Associated Press 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.” [ EASTERN J I RBI FEDERAL PLAZA THEATRES \ ■■■ Elliott Rd.
