Worker vows to complete tavern
PACIFIC. Wash (API- For
morn than 10 years, William
Powell has bwu trying to build
Ins dream tavern in a town that
he has coma to believe doesn't
want one.
All he has to show for his
efforts an1 some piles of <Jiarrni
lumber, a battered mobile home
for use as a caretaker's quarters
and some rusty construe tion
equipment surrounded by a
chain-link fence
Powell. Wl. a construction
worker, said he had spent more
than $r>00,000 on the project,
which has been beset by
numerous apple ation denials
and an arson in 1080 that
destroyed the building he was
planning to remodel for the tav
ern
He said the town northeast
of Tm omo has no taverns,
doesn't want anv and has
formed a "conspiracy" against
him, a charge denied by assis
tant citv attorney Rosemary
I .arson.
"What the city has done

body to lyelieve w hat they at tti
ally have done." Powell said
Mayor l.ynol Atnero said
Powell could fiuild on his prop
erty if he im-ets zoning require
ments
"We re trying to resolve it,
and we've met with him a lot
of times, and he doesn't want
to make any compromises oth
er than he wants to build on the
existing footprint of the prop
erty." Atnero said, "and that
does not comply with our set
bet k requirements "
Neither 1.arson nor Don
Clapp, a consultant who pro
vides building department ser
vices for the town, would dis

Powell lias agreed to build
a warehouse, whit h he hopes
eventually to convert into n tav

the foundation of the burned
out building, which town offi

would violate the building

To comply with all the

be admitting defeat, he said.

FAA investigating near-miss over Portland
PORTLAND (AP) — Thu Fed
eral Aviation Administration
was investigating the near colli
sion of two commercial air
planes carrying 113 people at
Portland International Airport.
FAA officials said Friday.
The incident occurred at 2:38
p in Thursday. There were no
injuries.
Alaska Airlines Flight 548.
carrying 80 passengers and five
crew members, had just taken
off. Horizon Airlines Flight
2215. carrying 25 passengers
and three crew. was on descent
for landing.
The two planes were at
between 9,000 and 10,000 feet
elevation and were 12 to 13
uules northeast of Portland
when the collision alert sound
ed, said Dick Meyer, a
spokesman for the FAA in Seat
tle.
The pilot of the Alaska jet. a
McDonnell-Douglas Ht). saw the
Horizon plane, a I)ash-H. outside
his window. He later estimated
it flew within three-quarters of a
mile to a mile of his plane.
Because of the speeds at
which planes travel, they do not
normally fly within three miles
of each other, even in areas con
trolled by radar
The Alaska pilot later filed a
near midair collision report with
the FAA.
Meyer said the Alaska flight
was climbing at a normal rate of
speed when each plane's Iruffic
Collision Avoidance System, a
computerized radio system also
known us TCAS. warned of the
possibility of collision
The TCAS tells the pilot to
either climb or descend to avoid
collision. However, the systems
on the planes directed them
toward each other.
“The Horizon flight that was
coming in rei eived a TCAS alert
that told it to descend. The Alas
ka plane was climbing at its nor
mul rate and got a TCAS alert that
told it to climb,” Meyer said
Meyer said the Horizon pilot
begun dropping to 9.000 feet and
radioed air traffic control. The
controller, realizing the problem,
ordered the Horizon flight "to
climb and maintain separation.”
Meyer said.
The two planes eventually flew
within less than a mile of each
other at the same elevation.
"It was the response to the
TCAS alerts that caused them to
come ( loser than they should,"
Meyer said.
Since Dec. 30, TCAS is
required on all U S. flights car
rying more than 30 passengers
By Feb. 9, 1995. all planes carry
ing 10 passengers or more must
lie similarly equipped.
Air traffic controllers are crit
ical of the system, saying it tends
to warn pilots of phantom planes.
In busy air space near airports,
controllers say false warnings can
order planes directly into the path
of other nearby aircraft.
