The Storm of 2003 Spring Lake Council Approves Testing Af Pools • Revaluations in Shore Towns Raise Some Eyebrows • Spring Lake Approves Plans for First Aid Building • Plans for area Waterways to be Improved • AskMartha...By Martha Stewart • Creative Loafing... Things to Do and Places to Go The Storm of 2003 The winter storm of 2003 brought over two feet of snow to some shore area towns while others watched as waves soared high over the dunes and beaches. Noted to be the worst storm of this century, the National Weather Service stated that snow amounts have not been as high since the storm of ‘96. Although the Presidents’ Day holiday normally brings huge retail sales, many businesses were forced to close for the day. Snow ended late Monday, however, another light snowfall almost crippled the Tuesday a.m. commute.

Spring Lake Council Approves Testing af Pools Borough to Investigate Residents' Action Regarding Pools By Alesha Williams Spring Lake Council voted by majority to move forward with testing at the borough’s North End pool in spite of opposition from some Council members, at the borough’s February 11 meeting. Spring Lake Pools and Pavilions Committee members were present at the Tuesday night meeting to request the Council proceed with plans for Engineer G. Lawrence Raffaelli’s testing at the pools, which would include strength tests of the concrete behind the pool’s lining. Council President Walter Kimm and Councilman Brian Reilly protested moving forward with the testing until borough engineers had an opportunity to review and discuss the independent engineer’s plans. Committee members argued that the testing, designed to determine the extent of repairs needed at the pool, could not be put off, for fear of necessary renovations conflicting with the pools’ summer season. Committee member Jo Nagle said that she believed the committee’s goals had been delayed by the committee in the past, making time constraints even more strict. “We’ve done a lot of work on this for a long time,” said Jo Nagle, “We are under extreme pressure. If it had been approved in November and acted upon, we wouldn’t be (I to r); Back row, Vince Schwartz, Mike Wagner; front, Kelly Risicato, Peggy Schoening, and Kathryn Stangler. under such pressure.

  • Titanic Jurisprudence in United States Federal Court
    Do Not Delete 7/15/2012 5:16 PM LIABILITY AND SALVAGE: TITANIC JURISPRUDENCE IN UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT by Matthew E. Zekala∗ On May 31, 1911, the R.M.S Titanic was launched from the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland. On August 15, 2011, the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia awarded R.M.S. Titanic, Inc., an in specie salvage award for artifacts recovered from the wreck of the Titanic. One hundred years after its launch, the Titanic still is perhaps the most famous ship in modern history and, despite its British ownership and loss in international waters, the sinking and salvage of the ship has been heavily litigated in United States courts. This Comment examines the legal history of the Titanic’s admiralty jurisprudence in United States federal courts, beginning with the shipowner’s effort to limit its liability, and culminating with an analysis of the eighteen-year litigation that led to the salvage award. This Comment argues that public policy is best served by court-supervised salvage awards and that recovery and restoration of historical artifacts is neither “exploitation” nor “grave robbing” as some detractors have maintained. Salvors such as R.M.S. Titanic, Inc., should be recognized for performing a valuable public service—the preservation of cultural treasures that otherwise would be lost to the natural elements—through judicially supervised compensation that provides adequate protection for wreck sites and recovered artifacts. As newer and better underwater exploration technology becomes available, more wrecks will be discovered and known wrecks that currently are inaccessible may be explored.

  • History Matters Undergraduate Journal
    History Matters Undergraduate Journal Issue 11 2013-2014 The History of HISTORY MATTERS Appalachian State University Department of History Have you ever spent so much time and effort on something that you wanted share it with other people? Have you ever felt unfulfilled receiving only a grade and your own satisfaction as rewards for your hard work? Have you ever wanted to get your work published? HISTORY MATTERS was founded to meet these needs. In the spring of 2003, Eric Burnette, a freshman, was looking for an outlet—a venue for his research paper. He figured that other students probably felt the same way. Dr. Michael Moore, who edited ALBION, a professional journal of British history, for over twenty-five years, began advising Eric on how to start an academic journal for students. Another student, Matthew Manes, was asked to join the interesting experiment, and together the three laid the groundwork for HISTORY MATTERS. The journal’s first deadline was in late January 2004. For the editorial staff, it was an extensive and time-consuming process of reading, revising, and communicating with both the authors and the Faculty Editorial Board. In the end, the team accepted one research paper, one research essay, and three editorial book reviews. The first issue of HISTORY MATTERS: An Undergraduate Journal of Historical Research was published on April 28, 2004 at www.historymatters.appstate.edu. From the beginning, Eric and Matt wanted to expand the journal and provide more students with the opportunity to be published. The 2004-2005 school year saw the participation of the University of North Carolina at Asheville and Western Carolina University, as well as submissions from half a dozen schools nationwide.
