POLICE BLOTTER

Tobacco violations: An officer spotted a 17-year-old Cedarburg girl he knows about 7:45 a.m. Oct. 27 smoking before school near Center St. and St. John Ave. He confiscated her cigarettes, cited her for possession of tobacco by a minor and then drove her to Cedarburg High School so that she wouldn’t be late for class. A 14-year-old Cedarburg boy was assigned to a quit-smoking program after police apprehended him for trying to use a fake ID card to buy cigarettes about 4:30 p.m. Oct. 23. The boy showed the card to a clerk at the Osco Drugstore, W63-N152 Washington Ave., but the clerk knew the boy and knew that the card was fake. Police said the boy had used a computer to print up false information about his age and had torn his picture off his Cedarburg High School ID card. He placed the false information and the picture on a Grafton High School ID card and laminated the card. Disorderly conduct: Eight Cedarburg boys, ages 14 to 16, were cited for disorderly conduct after police caught them on the roof of Cedarburg High School during a football game Oct. 15. After learning about the boys, several officers climbed on the roof and shouted at the boys to stop running because someone could get hurt. They complied. Police said they did not charge the boys with trespassing because the police determined such a charge would require the affected property owner to live in the building. School officials suspended six of the boys who attend the high school.

Iowa town celebrates 30th anniversary of anti-smoking film

“It was good for Greenfield,” said Dale Yount, who was mayor of this small southwestern Iowa town in 1969 when it provided the backdrop for a Hollywood film by Norman Lear. “Iowa and Greenfield could not have been warmer. This is a very huggable community. I’ve always divided people into wets and drys. Drys don’t hug well,” Lear said. “Greenfield and Iowa – they are wet people.” Greenfield became Eagle Rock, Iowa, for the movie. As the story goes, the town had been in a steady decline ever since a nearby military base closed. An Air Force official offered the town a deal: Fix up Eagle Rock, give it better schools, stores and hospitals, and the Pentagon would get a weapons manufacturing plant to move there and bring some life back to the depressed burg.

Risk involved? Give it a try; you’ll like it

THE new movie The Insider is based on the real-life mid-’90s drama of a 60 Minutes producer and a tobacco-company scientist intent on blowing the whistle on his employers for putting substances known to cause cancer into its products. So, has Philip Morris seen the light? Yes, but a different light from what you might think. Philip Morris does not intend, for the good of humanity, to stop manufacturing its product. What appears to be some sort of admission is legal passive aggression. In the pre-tobacco-settlement era, tobacco companies learned they could make substantial hay with cigarette-package warnings. While not at all conceding that tobacco is harmful, the companies argued with regular success that anybody who started smoking after the warnings first appeared – or who did not immediately stop – was as responsible for his own death as a snake handler would be.

CYCLING EVENT IN SUFFOLK RAISE FUNDS TO BATTLE TEEN SMOKING

Patricia Ingmire despises cigarette smoking, especially teen smoking. She’s not the traditional advocate against teen smoking. She’s not a teacher, school official, member of the clergy or a politician. Ingmire, who works at Rudy and Kelly Hairstylists in Pembroke Mall, is organizing the second annual Cycle Against Teen Smoking ride to raise money for the Dwight Core Sr. Memorial Fund and the fight against teen smoking. “Last year was going to be the first year (in 10 years) without the Williamsburg ride, and I had been doing that ride for 10 years,” said Ingmire. “I’ve always been a big fund-raiser, and over the past 11 years I’ve raised $54,000. I have a lot of people who automatically send me money around this time of year, so I was going to do the ride, even if it was by myself. I’d hate for the American Lung Association to lose that money.”

Health Watch: THE WEEK’S TOP MEDICAL STORIES

The number of Americans who quit smoking has leveled off, in part because of a rise in smoking among younger Americans, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. According to national surveys, there were as many adult smokers in 1997 as in 1990, the CDC reported. And for the first time, the percentage of college-age Americans (aged 18-24) who smoke matches the percent of adult (aged 25-44) smokers.

How to find a fund you can marry

A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I celebrated our 15th anniversary. Beating the odds and having any lasting, successful relationship is hard, be it in marriage or mutual funds. While you shouldn’t fall in love with investments, the truth is most people want committed, long-term relationships with their funds. Sadly, that long-term relationship is not what most people get. While the numbers depend on who keeps the statistics, the average holding period for mutual funds appears to be shrinking to where most observers believe it is now less than three years. Some people prefer to have flings with their funds, never settling down and always going only for the best returns. And in a diversified portfolio of funds, there may be times when you want core funds that you can marry, supplemented by a few hot numbers you can fool around with on the side.

Millions lighting up despite warnings Officials see taxes as best deterrent

BEIJING – A spiraling epidemic of cigarette smoking could prematurely kill more than 50 million Chinese, according to findings from American and Chinese researchers. Some 300 million Chinese men and 20 million women now use tobacco, according to the researchers, and the World Health Organization says more than 800,000 of them – or 2,000 a day – die from tobacco related diseases. “We have to put an increased tax on tobacco products and also provide extensive information on the dangers of tobacco. People have to know that tobacco kills,” said Alan Schnur, acting representative of the WHO in China.

He’s washboard, not Washed Up

[Cameron Mathison] plays hottie Ryan Lavery on All My Children and his character just can’t manage to keep a shirt on. In fact, for the first six months Mathison was on the soap, Ryan didn’t seem to own a shirt. “There are five different storylines in this film,” Mathison explained, “and they take place on the same beach on the same day. A few overlap. Liisa Repo-Martell and I book-end the other storylines with ours. My character is a con man who comes to the beach. He has led a life of cons and deceit and now wants out. He sheds his jacket and fake I.D. and meets Liisa on the beach. She’s running away from something too, and they discover they are similar in their struggle and fall for each other.” CAMERON MATHISON: Former Torontonian does own a shirt, but you wouldn’t know it from the first six months he was on All My Children. He also wore one shooting the film Washed Up.; LOUIS DE FILIPPIS PHOTOS / X MARKS THE SPOT: Ray Park (Darth Maul) at Courthouse and here for X-Men; [Kim Basinger] at Harbourfront Antique Market.; TABLE TALK: [Kathie Lee Gifford] takes a coffee break on the set of Cover Girls; [Gregory Hines] after dinner at Bistro 990; [Paul Sorvino] being the concerned papa.

SPEED SKATER

Skating in the road requires that you use the same rules as a motorized vehicle or road bike, making sure that you go with the flow of traffic. If we are on the sidewalk, it’s no time to use people as an obstacle course. We must move slowly, announcing your intentions (“passing on the right,” etc.) and being kind. For safety, use lights at night anywhere that you skate and use safety gear, which means, helmet, kneepads, wrist guards and even elbow pads. When first learning to skate, wear all your gear; fear inhibits learning. And your best bet is to get a certified instructor to teach you the first few times. There really is a wrong way and right way to skate, to skate safely and to skate for fitness.
