Powell selected commission chair

Preston Stone, who took his seat on the board this month, replacing Sedillo as District 1 representative, was selected as vice chairman.

During the Tuesday meeting,Want to find handbags? commissioners were told by County Manager Nita Taylor that Justin King of King Industries was asked to give a second opinion on repairs to the county public health clinic building on Kansas City Road in Ruidoso.

She reminded them that a few months ago, she passed along an assessment of the building's condition and the $27,000 estimated cost to fix the problems given by officials with Basic IDIQ, a project management firm used by the county.

But officials with that company said they were not engineers and she decided to seek another opinion.

"Some of the things largely followed what Basic IDIQ thought, but there were more extensive suggestions made," she said. "The first three I listed here are to correct the side drainage issues first by taking care of the gravel, road and gutter, all of the stuff that allows the water to run down into the building; installation of double gutters in the parking lot along with storm water inlets to carry water away from the building; improve the parking lot with an oil seal and create positive drainage away from the building on the north side. The second priority that can be done quickly is to install a complete gutter and downspout system for all roof areas around the building exiting to the west of the building, eliminating surface ice from forming and creating a hazard. The third suggestion is to use French drains along the east and north sides of the buildings.

"The other priorities need to wait until we have some (rain). It's difficult for him to assess in these dry times what is causing the problem on the north side of the building," Taylor said. King proposed waiting until June on the other items, she said. She didn't have a cost estimate and said Basic IDIQ probably would continue handling the repairs, incorporating King's information.

Commission Mark Doth said when he looked at the building, he could see that the foundation was separated and had cracked all the way into the ground.

Taylor said she would supply copies of the complete study to commissioners for their review. "Mr. King's thought is the building has not really settled more than most buildings do and he thinks the fix is more related to how the water gets to where it's getting. (He advocates) to fix the parking lots and route the water away from the building and when that is done, go back inside and fix the damage inside and outside. But he doesn't think it structurally is in bad condition."

Doth said many other buildings in the same area experienced similar problems, such as Ruidoso Village Hall. "I'm not disagreeing with the assessment, I'm saying there was poor planning in construction, even the convention center has some major settle within the last two years attributed probably to ground water disappearance," he said.

The single-engine plane that crashed Tuesday evening in a parking lot off South Street was being used by a flight school based at Danbury Airport, the school's president confirmed Thursday.

Nicholas Ringrose, president of Epic Blue, said the Cirrus SR20 that parachuted to earth was part of the school's flight training rental fleet and one of the school's flight instructors was among the three people on board.

Ringrose said he couldn't identify the pilot or the two others on the plane on the advice of the company's lawyers.

Nor would he say whether the instructor was at the controls at the time, although airport officials previously said the instructor was flying the aircraft.

"The instructor declared an emergency and deployed the aircraft's safety parachute system. There were no injuries to any of the occupants," Ringrose said in a prepared statement. "Epic Blue is cooperating fully with the FAA and other representative parties to determine the cause of the incident."

According to the company's website, Epic Blue was founded in 2010 by Ringrose to "provide a diverse range of services in the marine and aviation fields. These include asset management, training,Find Complete Details about oilpaintingreproduction Truck. sales, consulting, delivery, charter brokerage and pilot services."

We rolled into 2013 just weeks ago and in the midst of all the greetings and good wishes of happiness and prosperity to one another, I extended my sympathy to those who might not have had a very good start to the new year.

A friend told me that his wife had witnessed a robbery in broad daylight at a signalised junction in Sri Hartamas. Two motorcycles pulled up on a luxury car,The term 'smartcardfactory control' means the token that identifies a user is read from within a pocket or handbag. one on each side. The motorcyclist on the driver's side snatched the keys from the ignition after breaking the window, and the one on the other side snatched the handbag from the passenger seat.

My friend's wife was two cars in front of the victim. She watched the whole episode on the rearview mirror, frozen with fear.

The wife was grateful that she was not the victim, but she has since demanded of the husband that the car be installed with every security system available in the market, or she would not be driving anywhere any time soon.Creative glass tile and cableties tile for your distinctive kitchen and bath.

The husband, meanwhile, has had his office cleaned up by a pair of villains who had bypassed the security system by attaching some gadget to the auto-lock system. He lost several laptops, handphones and other valuables.

Adding to his woe, the insurance company has refused to reimburse his losses as there was no sign of "forced entry", as the adjusters saw it, despite CCTV footage showing the bad guys hefting away the loot.Get the best deal on smartcard in the UK and use our free tools.

My brother managed to hold on to his gold chain when two guys on a motorcycle tried to snatch it away. He struggled a little and escaped with minor bruises on his neck. This was in Puchong.

Following a spate of basement car-park incidences, the management of several shopping complexes have taken reactive measures, the most apparent of which are the designated women's parking lots, which are located closer to the lift lobby. I wonder how this ladies-only parking is enforced.

And then there are panic buttons installed in the basement car parks. That help will arrive in time -- at the push of a button, as they say -- is yet to be fully tested.

I have serious reservations about the effectiveness of CCTV cameras in combating crime, whether at home, at the office or on the streets.

A friend of mine argued that they served as a deterrent but I begged to differ. The professional criminal will be smart enough to not get caught on camera, while the petty one, such as the drug addict, would be too reckless and likely also too high to care.
