SMITHSONIAN BUILDINGS CRUMBLING, TOO BAD THERE'S NO MONEY TO FIX OUR NATIONAL MUSEUMS
Conditions at Arts and Industries have worried preservationists and Smithsonian officials for years. The roof had deteriorated to such a point that a canopy was installed beneath it to catch falling debris. Then, after a severe snowstorm in 2003 collapsed two other historic Washington structures, the Board of Regents decided the building had to be closed for safety reasons.
Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, said he was encouraged by the new preliminary moves.
"It is sitting on the Mall crumbling, and there may well be a private solution. I would be open to that," he said. But he warned that selecting a use should be a public process. "We and others would appreciate the opportunity to talk with them and create a transparent process."
The conditions of the landmark are emblematic of the crisis at the Smithsonian over its aging buildings and renovation needs. A study by the Government Accountability Office estimated the Smithsonian needed $2.5 billion to fix all its facilities.

Some Vineland residents were keeping a close eye on their small children and pets yesterday, fearful that a panther might be roaming in the woods behind a small cul de sac.
A large black feline with a very long tail was spotted by several residents over the weekend in the rural Cumberland County town.

The idea of a black panther in the area was so unheard of that when the department first received the report, officers thought someone was talking about the Black Panther Party, a political organization, said Lt. Steve Cleveland of the Vineland police.
