Sisters survive plane mishap
TAMPA -- A pilot and her sister scrambled to safety yesterday when their single-engine plane ran a few feet off the end of the Davis Island runway and into the water.
Only the tail of the Aero Commander was sticking out of the water after the plane's nose dipped.
The pilot, Camille Branch-Turley, 43, and her sister, Sharon Branch, 49, both of Tampa, did not require medical treatment, said police spokeswoman Laura McElroy.

Hidden Torah finds new home
NEW YORK -- A 150-year-old Torah, hidden for a half-century in the former Soviet Union, was paraded through New York's streets yesterday on its way to its new home at a Brooklyn synagogue.
Many in the procession of hundreds of former Soviet Jews sang English, Hebrew, Yiddish and Russian songs as the foot-high scroll was taken to the Friends of Refugees of Eastern Europe Synagogue.
