Specifically, Chodzinski is “respon­ sible for shoveling coal into the boilers — keeping them running so they can pro­ duce electricity and heating for all build­ ings on campus.” “It’s a prestigious job,” he said. “This is a good place to work because they aren’t going to pick up the University and move it somewhere else and lay people off — it’s stable work.” JOB TURNER/The Observer The power plant runs 365 days a year, Snow plowers have a tough job keeping up at Notre Dame, but equipment such as the sweeper, plows and radars help. with three workers assigned to three “We've got radar, so as soon as we know it will snow we get all the trucks ready,” said Bill Klein, lead groundskeeper. rotating shifts.

Convicted murderer hijacks plane, takes guard hostage v U mY, BOGOTA, Colombia A convicted murderer who was being flown across Colombia managed to pull a knife, hijack the plane and force it to land at a remote airstrip, where he fled with a guard as his hostage, police said Sunday. Police were hunt­ ing for Hernando Prada, who had been serving a 50-year sentence for murder. Despite the presence of an armed escort of two prison guards, Prada drew a knife eight minutes after the Beechcraft 1900 biplane took off from Bucaramanga airport in northwestern Santander state on Saturday, police said. The plane was headed for the town of Cucuta, but Prada forced the pilot to land at a small airstrip at El Tornillo, 240 miles north of Bogota. There, he forced one of the guards to flee with him. Police did not immediately explain how Prada had smuggled the knife onboard or why he was being transferred to Cucuta.
