    Bush Intercontinental seeks input for viable growth plan

    Residents voice concerns over airport noise

    By NABEEL JAITAPKER, Chronicle Correspondent

    Houston Airport System officials sought input on future plans for Bush Intercontinental Airport Tuesday and got an earful from nearby residents unhappy with present operations.

    Airport system representatives met with businesses and residents at a public workshop at the Humble Civic Center.

    Many discussed the future growth potential of the area while some complained about the noise the present air traffic causes.

    Gather information

    Kent McLemore, Houston Aviation Department Planning Division manager, said the meeting's primary purpose was to gather information before the airport's master plan development phase begins.

    The master plan will provide the preferred conceptual design for the airport's long-term development and will support the modernization and expansion of the both land side and air side facilities at the airport, he said.

    But the biggest concern for many residents in attendance was the noise level

    By ROSANNA RUIZ, Houston Chronicle

    As the Astros prepare for tonight's crucial playoff game, the sudden death of former teammate Ken Caminiti is no doubt weighing on them.

    Caminiti, a former Houston Astros third baseman and National League Most Valuable Player whose career came crashing down under the burden of drug and legal problems, died of a massive heart attack in New York late Sunday, his agent confirmed. He was 41.

    Today Astros owner Drayton McLane Jr. expressed sadness and said Caminiti had gained the respect of his teammates for his accomplishments as a player and his passion for the game.

    Bush airport prepares for noise study

    Determination could decide if FAA buys out local homeowners

    By SUZANNE WEST, Chronicle Correspondent

    Residents living near George Bush Intercontinental Airport could learn within four to five months if the noise levels generated by airport operations near their homes meet or exceed the standards set by the Federal Aviation Administration for triggering noise mitigation efforts.

    Airport manager Tom Bartlett and Rick Barrett, senior project manager for noise compliance, discussed the status of a planned noise model study and noise monitoring with members of the Coalition of Homeowner Alliances Requiring Government Equity (or CHARGE) at a town hall meeting Monday at North Harris College.
