from the water is separated

“It (the system) takes oil
out, the oil is thickened in
the separator and is burned
again,” Esmond said.
The sand removed from
the recycled water is used at
a land farm to treat contam
inated soil.
Dr. Christopher Mathew-
son, a professor of geology,
said there are two reasons
to recycle water.
Conservation is one obvi
ous reason, but the removal
of contaminants — such as
oil — is equally important.
Mathewson said there is
little controversy over the
amount of water used at the
training center because the
realistic training helps save
human lives.
“The operation is a good
way of solving environmen
tal problems and meeting
society’s needs,” Mathew
son said.
those islands, but were canceled
for the U.S. and British Virgin
Islands and Puerto Rico.
Two surfers who challenged
Bertha head-on were her first
apparent victims. Lilton Jones,
35, of New York City drowned
off Puerto Rico, and a second,
unidentified surfer died in the
U.S. Virgin Islands, Gov. Roy L.
Schneider said.
Authorities also blamed the
hurricane for two traffic deaths
on Puerto Rico, in which a car
ran off a rain-slick road and hit
a tree.
Despite an intense search
with ships and aircraft, the
Coast Guard was unable to lo
cate a ship that amateur radio
operators reported adrift in the
hurricane. While the Coast
Guard was unable to contact the
ship directly, radio operators
said they picked up reports that
half of the 42 people on board
were missing in the storm.
At 11 p.m. EDT Monday,
Bertha was 100 miles north of
San Juan, Puerto Rico, still
packing 90 mph winds.
Forecasters gave Bertha no
more than a 30 percent chance
of hitting Florida, but the U.S.
Hurricane Center in Miami told
southeastern coastal cities to
keep an eye on the storm.
Although Bertha isn’t the
strong hurricane, its size
makes it formidable, hurricane
center director Jerry Jarrell in
Miami said.
“This is a huge storm — it’s
more like Hugo in ’89 or Gilbert
in ’88,” Jarrel said. “It’s one of
those great big ones that in a lot
of ways it does more damage
than an Andrew, because it
spreads thinner damage over a
much bigger area.”
Evidence of that was all
around St. Thomas.
A blue tarpaulin shot through
the air in downtown Charlotte
Amalie, followed by two pieces of
lumber, as Bertha turned some
one’s temporary roof into lethal
projectiles.
“At 90 miles an hour, a per
son is turned into a leaf’ by hur
ricane winds, said forecaster
Matt Bragaw.
An iguana clung desperately
to a rocking Flamboyant tree
branch on Blackboard's Hill in
Charlotte Amalie, the main city
on St. Thomas.
On St. Croix, rising winds
whipped up garbage cans and
tree branches, whirling trash
into the streets.
Clinton offers computer systenl
to track gun sales to
youth
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Clinton
pledged today to go after the “single shadowy
supplier” in each neighborhood who illegally puts
guns into teen-agers’ hands, announcing a 17-city
program to trace weapons by computer.
The president met in the White House s East
Room with law enforcement officials from 17 cities
who will provide information on guns confiscated
from juveniles so they can be traced to the seller.
‘We have to give the future back to all of our
children,” Clinton said. “We cannot... keep allow
ing our young people to die before their dreams
ever have a chance to take shape.”
Republican Bob Dole’s presidential campaign
said today’s announcement is a rehash of a Clin
ton administration proposal from November 1993
and accused Clinton of staging the event as a
campaign ploy.
And a spokeswoman for Sen. John Ashcroft, R-
Mo., who sponsored juvenile crime legislation,
said Clinton’s proposal does not adequately ad
dress prosecuting juveniles who commit gun
crimes. “It’s sort of looking at one side of the
coin,” spokeswoman Doreen Denny said.
Under Clinton’s plan, information on confiscated
weapons will be entered into the federal computer
system run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms, and traced back to the original seller
102, N
through documents and serial numbers.
Gun traffickers will then be prosecuted,!

on his way to a Christmas party sponsored I
