N "All it would take is two days of that northwest wind for that stuff to come washing in again," says Jack Roberts, who supervises about 40 lifeguards on Belmar Beach. It hasnt been an entirely pristine summer here or in other beach towns around the country. Just as the season began, an oil spill in New York Harbor sent dribbles of tar onto beaches in New Jersey and on New York's Long Island. A sewage spill closed three New York beaches last week. Oil from the tanker Mega Borg threat- l"r' . ened beaches along the Texas coast. And at Huntington Beach in Southern California, heavy surf recently churned up buried oil from a tanker spill in February. No pollution this year can compare with the large stretches of slime pushed ashore along the East Coast two years ago by freakish winds. Now, tourism seems to be rebounding in areas that were hurt. "It looks to me like it's going to be a very good season," said Ralph Savastano, who owns Ralph's Snack Shop on the Belmar boardwalk. "They've cleaned up the ocean really good." New Jersey enacted some of the most stringent standards in the nation for ocean water quality. Pollutants have not exceeded the standards yet this year. Last year, pollution forced beaches to close 19 times. In 1988, there were 68 AP Laserphoto Investigators photograph the wreckage of a stunt plane that crashed into Lake Erie Sunday.

(AP) Two air show crashes during the weekend, including one in which a World War II vintage plane plunged into the Niagara River before thousands of spectators. Four other Ui. stunt pilots have died since May 23 in air show crashes or while practicing for air shows across the United States.

(AP) the wagon trains that crossed Wyoming in the mid-180deep ruts, tin cups, gravestones have been meticulously preserved as symbols of the Cowboy State's pioneer heri- tage. But the 1990 Wyoming Centennial Wagon Train, with as many as 100 wagons and 1,000 riders the trek West, is forbidden to leave traces of its own passing. "Who knows what a Pepsi can will be worth in another 100 years?" said cowboy and outfitter Kevin Lauer. "We even have to cart our ashes out of camp each night." But trash is a different story. Under an agreement with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, participants on the ld 260-mi- le trip must not disturb the bits of history they encounter along the trail. "A couple times we've had to move our camp to avoid the artifacts," said B.J. Wertz, a stagecoach driver and the wagon train's spokeswoman. "They say, 'Whoops, another arrowhead. Move three feet to the right.'" In addition, the federal agency will not allow the wagon train to camp on riverbanks, as the pioneers did, for fear of environmental damage. Instead, the modern-da- y pioneers have been camping most of the last 29 nights on the rough, dry prairie all the while loosely following the Jim Bridger Trail, established in 1854 as an alternate route to the gold fields of western Montana when tensions with Indians along the Bozeman Trail were high. Carbon monoxide sickens dozens of motel residents - ParSPICER, Minn. (AP) amedics revived motel guests who had passed out in their rooms from carbon monoxide that apparently leaked from a hot tub furnace. Up to 30 people were sickened, but none was seriously hurt, authorities said. "There were people passed out all over," said Betty Elliot, a guest at the Cazador Inn. "Then they started carrying kids out it was unbievable. It was the scariest thing I have ever been through." More than 120 people at the motel were taken to a hospital Sunday morning, even those with no symptoms. All were later released. As many as 30 people experienced symptoms associated with carbon monoxide poisoning, which two-stor- y, m include nausea, show in Ottawa. Despite the deaths, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Berger said stunt flying is generally a safe form of aviation. While the complicated acrobatics are designed to look dangerous, Berger said, "they are safe. We have somebody at every air show checking things out before the show." On Sunday, thousands of spectators watched as an AT-- 6 training plane failed to come out of an aerial maneuver and crashed into the Niagara River along the United border off Buffalo Harbor. The crash killed Gifford T. Foley, 43, of South Salem, N.Y. Mason Dunn, a technician for a stunt jet team, said Foley's plane "started on a nose dive and was rotating. He never pulled out and went straight in." On Saturday, a stunt pilot was killed in Groton, Conn., while attempting a stunt takeoff in his 1942 Stearman biplane during an air show, according to state police States-Canad- a there. wagon train leaves no traces Modern-da- y 30-da-y, - U.S. stunt pilots were killed in m 88 94 68 83 94 66 74 region. Blue BELMAR, N.J. (AP) skies, blue seas, white sand. The beach is back. For now, at least. The vista from the Belmar boardwalk captures a perfect summer's day, but few people here can forget the summer of 1988, when the tide ran brown and carried sewage and syringes onto abandoned shores. This year, the water is clear and ocean breezes carry the scent of salt water and suntan lotion. Yet, there's an undercurrent of uneasiness among those who care for the beach, a sense that the days of innocence are over. j mmm 55'W'S d homes and burned 22,000 acres, officials said.

Some motel guests were found passed out; dozens were treated on the front lawn of the motel, officials said. "They were quickly brought around with oxygen," said Dana Miller, a paramedic. Elliot said some of her friends were found sick in their room. "They looked terrible," she said. "I thought they were dying. They thought they were both having heart attacks." Officials said they believe a flue on a furnace for the building's hot tub caused the leak. Carbon monoxide may have begun seeping into the motel as early as Thursday, authorities said. Spicer is a town of about 600 people, about 90 miles west of Minneapolis. It is holding its 87th annual Spicer Independence Day Celebration this week. Authorities had gone to the motel because of a call that a woman was sick, emergency technician Bryan Reichel said. "When we got there, the other people in the room were sick, too, and others were complaining of nausea and headaches," Reichel said. Firefighters went from room to room. "People were just waking up and realizing they were sick," he said. "I was walking down the hall and kept saying, 'More ambulances. More ambulances'" into his walkie-talki' e. "There was such a thing as shade trees along the rivers," Lauer lamented, sporting a straggly beard and a beat-u- p cowboy hat that looked as tnough it had put out a few fires. "All we have is cactus, cactus and dust" But the riders are not complaining. It's the cactus, cactus and dust that bring the experiences of the early trailblazers to life.

Marge, said the demand for the family had always been $60,000, despite earlier reports that amount might fall short of the rebel demands. The family raised the ransom money through community donations in Peoria. Heimdal had been in seclusion with his parents since his release Friday. They came to Quito on June 18 but avoided the press during negotiations for his release. Heimdal said today he could not give the name of the guerrilla group that kidnapped him. However, he said in a letter to his parents during his captivity they were members of the com- munist People's Liberation Army. He said they held him "way inside Colombia" and changed his location daily. "A lot of it was a lot of moving around trying to keep ahead of the Colombian army," he said. He said he was kidnapped specifically for the ransom. |
