Hollywood Promotes Wrong Kind Of Girl Power
January 22, 2010By Donald Jeffries
[email protected]
(for henrymakow.com)
Hollywood continues a relentless
campaign to celebrate violence and aggression in women.
Movies, television shows and commercials regularly feature fist-fighting
females of all ages.
These role models are not about female empowerment. They promote the false notion that diminutive females regularly can overpower and physically defeat much larger males.
They also glorify fighting in general, which is simply not a part of life for any civilized adult.
This isn't played for comedy
any longer, as it was in the days when Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble
would beat up Fred and Barney, or when Mary Tyler Moore would beat up
Dick Van Dyke.
In those days, there had to
be a "gimmick" utilized to explain the obvious improbability
of smaller women overpowering larger men. Usually, this was attributed
to judo or karate lessons.
Now, the female characters
simply are able to punch out larger males, and no questions are asked.
The females are almost always the pretty, thin, super model-types. Thus female viewers identify. On the rare occasions when a fat or large boned woman does the beating up, it is done for comic effect.
The females are not merely defending themselves from male ogres; more often than not, they are actually looking for a physical fight.
They wear the same mean spirited, no nonsense expressions that nearly all actresses seem to wear nowadays, and often they initiate the fights.
Well, it's not normally much of a fight, because the man is usually knocked cold (or at least down) with one mighty feminine blow.
The Lois Lane character on the otherwise excellent show Smallville is one such bully. She has been beating up men, often armed (once she overpowered a huge SWAT team member in full gear), on a regular a basis, with nothing more than her pretty little fists and her magical, flying-Matrix-like drop kicks.
This lady looks for trouble all the time. She is the aggressor, not some Neanderthal male trying to paw at her.
Despite this disturbing character flaw, she is well liked by all the other characters. The audience is supposed to like her too.
If anything, Hollywood scriptwriters are becoming more fanciful. In the recent television series V, the middle-aged female lead rushed an armed assassin from a long distance and tackled him, as throngs of wimpy males looked on in admiration.
This female-as-aggressor campaign has been especially prominent on children's television shows.
On the Nickelodeon teen show I Carly, Carly's best friend Sam is a petite blonde girl who somehow can beat up every male (and is always eager to do so).
On Drake And Josh, the same actress who plays the lead in I Carly, Amanda Cosgrove, then a very young girl, bullies and utterly dominates her older teenage brothers. She beats them up frequently, and they are terrified of her.
The character is completely odious, with not a single redeeming quality yet she never gets her comeuppance and is portrayed positively. Again, the audience is supposed to like this little monster.
What is the purpose of pushing this patently absurd notion so consistently and for so long?
Instead of encouraging men to be more sensitive and less brutish and aggressive, we are now fostering a belligerent, in-your-face attitude in females.
As result, females are growing more violent
in real life. In the UK, the number of violent crimes committed by girls 10-17 doubled between 2005 and 2008.
A search of You Tube reveals a spate of videos featuring young girls punching each other. Often, it is a group attack on one hapless victim.
Then there are violent young women in women's soccer.
Clearly, female-on-male violence in movies and television is having an unfortunate impact on today's young women.
Why do we bother to teach our children
that fighting is wrong, if our movies, television and video games constantly
preach the opposite?

Makow Comment: This is elite social engineering designed to erase gender identity and thus undermine marriage and family. Part of masculine identity is protecting and providing for women and children. Obviously aggressive women become masculine themselves and act to neuter or feminize men.

Comments for "Hollywood Promotes Wrong Kind Of Girl Power"
Dan-2 said (January 23, 2010):
About the time I read tonight's article I'd noticed an ad for a new television drama called 'Spartacus'. Curious this meme would be infused into the programming melting pot this year I checked out the first episode online. This show debuted on network tonight.
The show kicked off with a series of incredibly blood splattered fights with no Xena Warrior Princess in sight. But sure enough, about half way through the episode when Sparticus and his babe are subject to coitus interruptus by a band of five barbarian warriors, Sparticus is down for the count when his little woman picks up a sword and broad ax and massacres 3 of his assailants with blows which would require the upper body strength of Jesse Ventura.
That's when I recalled the television programming formula sheets I'd seen, and sent that information in. They really do that.
I saw there are three women in the cast so I expect these ladies will be performing their share of dispatching 250 lb brutes.
Another thing about this show is it's a new level for prime time television profanity and features full frontal female nudity.
In one scene the Roman villain 'goes down' on his fully naked Playboy centerfold wife, the Senator's daughter - notice that's a subtle sign of male submission in movies. I already picked up on the theme that this upwardly mobile Roman's character is pussy whipped rather the way Yul Brenner's Ramses in Cecil B. De Mille's The Ten Commandments (1955). I mean he makes the correct decisions man to man, but then the woman goads him into breaking his word and taking stupid short cuts to power behind closed doors.
Looking over the characters in this thing for future episodes I see they even have a homosexual hero - " Though possessed of a temper and an imposing stature, he tempers this with the tenderness he shows his collection of birds and Pietros, a slave boy."
Anyway, there's a lot of estrogen injection in this testosterone epic.
Bruno said (January 23, 2010):
About your story on the ever more violent girls, it is in my opinion even worse than was stated in the report. The history of female violence is much longer than that though more subtle. With the beginning of women's emancipation in roughly 1900 began a period of greater immoral behavior of women.
First it was in the arena of sexual attraction by using her body as bait. Later it became politicized. Then it became workplace experience. Now it is open aggression in the male format.
Many decades ago the women started to pull up their breast and stuff them to look bigger and more revealing and use them like battering rams.
That was a gesture of aggression of the female variety like in your face: see what I can do and there is nothing you male chauvinists can do about it. It is amazing to me how few women are capable of seeing this as aggression i.e. how few there are who have any moral inhibition to go along with this self degrading practice. The question arises: are women utterly incapable of any moral decision?
This week there are demonstrations about abortion. The more fundamental question is if women have absolutely no sense for degrees of cruelty that they can walk down to the abortion clinic and have the brains sucked out of their very own kids and not even blink.
Looking at the larger historical picture and the brainwashing of women for more violence, one has to wonder what will happen when some day the Mongolian armies will arrive and the men have no desire any more to defend their women as they used to in former times. I assure you there will not be a single woman who will ever win against a single man on earth when it come to trumping physical violence.
Jeffrey said (January 23, 2010):
Xena is nothing new. Even good old fashioned Andy Griffith had a show that dealt with women "beating" men and how men should accept it. First, Andy's girlfriend, Helen, outscores Andy while bowling. We don't see that. The episode starts off with Andy begrudgingly recounting his previous evening's activities at Goober's insistence. Andy lost and fesses up to Goober's delight. Later, Helen's niece comes by and becomes Opie's (Andy's son) new playmate. Guess what? She kicks his ass at everything they try to do together, including the boys' football game. She even gives Opie a black eye.
We are talking over forty years ago, right about when feminism was becoming an established norm.
Dan said (January 23, 2010):
Television network programmers inform writers of mandatory behaviors and situations which must be included. I don't have a copy of one but I saw a few for Star Trek and other shows when I took courses in radio-television back in the early 70's. These were called formulas.
One for 'action dramas' today might go something like this:
"there must be 1 fight with a woman defeating men per 3 fights between men" if the show's target market in males, 12 - 25 yrs. Or if girls are the target, "for each 3 fights where the female lead defeats men, 1 fight with the female lead defeating a rival female".

"The University of Illinois is also in turmoil. The university sports an Interim Chancellor, an Interim Athletic Director, and an Interim Football Coach; the game will be played at Soldier Field, making this an Illini Interim Home Game."
Jeremy Gallon NFL prospects
The best thing that happened for him was Hoke becoming coach, it allowed him to showcase his talents. He might not be tall or super fast, but WR's at Michigan need to be able to block, run good routes and be tough in general for this staff.
The guy has good hop, great hands, runs well after the catch and is hard to bring down cause of his stocky build, I bet Tom Brady would love to have a guy like Gallon on his team, Jeremy would be able to catch a lot of passes if that was the case.
He might not get drafted high, but he has a chance to catch over 70 or 80 passes IMO and over 1,000 yds receiving this season. Someone will draft him in the middle rounds and he will definitely be playing on Sundays, he's got a lot of talent and ability.
The Pats would take you right about now.
....Print the damn thing!
So are you saying the Pats could probably be the starting quarterback at Michigan State?
He'd probably be the Pats #1 receiver. No worse than #2.
But you could probably say that for most of the top college receivers. The Pats have the worst receiving corp I've seen on an NFL team in maybe decades. How they managed to let that happen is beyond me.
..I was going to say I would take him right now. I'd actually like 3 of him though.
I read plenty of articles on the current UM players projections in 14 draft, so forgive me for not knowing the source of the one that discussed Gallon, but there was a 3rd round grade on him in that article.
I wasn't surprised. He has elite hands and route running ability.
I believe I know which article you are discussing here, although I couldn't find the link. The one that did stand out to me was CBS Sports - their projections for the WR position - have Jeremy Gallon as the #32 wide receiver overall, which in their estimation will equate to 7th round or UFA status.
He reminds me a lot of Heinz Ward. I don't see him going any earlier than a 3rd round pick but I do see him having a good NFL career.
Delicious condiment? Or hard-nosed WR?.....we may never know.
His speed and quickness is not on Steve Smith's level...
Not like Amendola or Welker who are both slot type guys. More "like" Steve Smith of the Panthers. He's definitely shining now. Again, some players will produce better under different circumstances and this current one is great for Gallon. How many players didn't really cut it at Michigan, leave for a year or two and then get drafted? I think our recent Mr. Cox is a great example.
if he is going to make a roster. For your second point, Ryan Mundy also comes to mind...
It's funny, the only two players I can think of who graduated from Michigan, played another season at a different school, then got drafted are Cox and (as the other commenter pointed out) Mundy. Who both play on the same NFL team. Strange.
Mike Cox!
Admit it - you were just waiting for someone to mention his name!
Toney Clemons?
He was just a transfer.
I suspect he will get drafted in the late rounds or not at all. His size and lack of speed will make teams leery of drafting him. He is a great player and he does everything asked of him at the college level, but that doesn't always translate to an NFL career.
Lack of speed? He's not a 4.3 guy, but I don't see a stark lack of speed. He's just as fast as a lot of receivers in the NFL.
So, if he just has the same speed as a lot of WRs already in the NFL, but lacks the height those same players have, wouldn't that just further prove the point of the comment you were responding to?
No, because it refutes one of his points. If I say "he doesn't lack speed," I'm not sure how that confirms the statement that "he lacks speed."
It confirms the statement that he'll get drafted late or not at all. In your comment, I assumed you were indirectly disagreeing with that. In retrospect, that may have been a stupid assumption on my part, but nonetheless, your comment does further the thought that his draft stock is relatively low.
I think the disconnect is in what part of his comment I was responding to. I didn't mention anything about his size or his draft stock in that comment. I was simply taking issue with the statement that he lacks speed.
Yep, a mistaken assumption on my part.
It also seems like you're suggesting that height and speed are the only factors for where a WR is drafted. You suggested that if he has average speed and below average height, then he'll be drafted late. I don't follow that logic.
Gallon has great hands, great ball skills, and runs great routes. He has great hops and very good run after the catch skills. I'm not saying he's a first rounder, but I am saying that you can't predict a WR's draft spot based on size and speed alone.
No, you cannot predict how well a reciever will perform or where they'll get drafted purely based on height and speed alone. However, it still does play a significant role. I'd imagine GMs are more interested in players with superior speed or height attributes even if they may be a little lacking in other skills (i.e. - hands, route running, hops, etc...) when compared to Gallon. Skills can be improved on, height, and for the most part, speed, cannot. Why risk a high to mid draft pick on someone who is most likely going to be outmatched by NFL dbs?
As we know, especially with Mr.Brady, where you are drafted doesn't necessarily have anything to do with success. That's why I don't mean Gallon any offense when I say that IMO, he's not going to be a big name in this year's draft.
I can't remember the guys name but an NFL draft analyst was on a Chicago radio show yesterday and they asked him who after two weeks has made him think they might be better than projected before the season and he said Jeremy Gallon. I can't remember what his name was but he was from a major media outlet. Damn early morning brain failing me.
Whoever takes Devin at QB should find a way to get their hands on Gallon, although hopefully that will be made more difficult by them going in different years. Chemistry!
He's about the same size as guys like Ace Sanders and Tavon Austin, not as fast, but Gallon can jump like he's 6'-2". I think he gets drafted in the 2-4th round if he keeps these numbers up.
I think Jeremy plays better/bigger than his measurables. He finds ways to get open and is very good in space. Seems like at least a marginal NFL guy to me.
Stedman Bailey. Both are smallish WR who plays bigger than their size and is more of a outside WR. Doesn't have explosive speed but has nice quickness and suddeness to get open in route running. Very good hands to make catches in traffic.
Bailey got drafted at 3rd round by the Rams. If Gallon can continue his production, I think he'll get drafted at 4th round range IMO.
Fifth round pick if he stays healthy and produces in a similar fashion for the remainder of the season.
I think a lot of people in this thread are claiming he doesn't have good speed, which seems odd. He certainly isn't a burner, but he's got just as good speed as most WRs that enter the NFL draft. He's also extremely quick in and out of cuts, despite not being extremely quick with the ball in his hands.
Lack of height and elite top end speed will drop him, and he may be moved around a bit in the NFL, likely to the slot eventually. But I think between 4-6 is the right range if he keeps up his production, with round 5, as you said, being the most likely.
Fifth round, sounds about right. Get out of my head.
You know, maybe I've just brainwashed you. Maybe you've finally come over to the dark side where Mike Cox is pretty good and J.T. Floyd is bad.
Mike Cox is pretty good.
First act like you hate each other, then come aroudn to agreeing with each other, then fall in love and watch everyone follow (both for sports reasons and for the inspiring, engaging drama of it all). Brilliant Magnus/TIMMMAAY, brilliant. Thought the fact that you have like tens of thousands of posts combined is a bit sad.
It looks like I'm in 7th place right now. If we added our points together, I would vault to 5th. All these damn mods are racking up the points...
This guy burned Alabama and South Carolina for 100+ yards. There is a reason he gets wide open on his hitch routes. Do you all see the cushion he is given by ELITE cover corners?
Gallon is not a burner. He gets open by running great routes and having excellent body control.
he's a great leaper and is one of the best I've ever seen at making adjustments to the ball. Oh, and he's also got excellent hands. I'd definitely say Gallon will be drafted and will make a team's roster.
Will come down to his combine performance. If he runs well, he'll get drafter in the 2-4 round range. I think he will be prepared with the correct form and starting stance. Maybe Barwis will train him.
He doesn't need to be a slot guy. This guy has been a damn good receiver for over a decade, without any kind of "3rd receiver" tag, and he's 5'9":
except faster. Steve isnt a legit 5'9 either so that works in Gallon's favor. However, Smith ran a 4.39 at the combine. If Jeremy does that (and he wont by the way), he's a sure fire 2nd round pick. However, I think we all expect mid 4.5 at best...
He has a 40 time listed (I guess from HS camps? He went to the Army All-Star game) at 4.42, which is virtually indistinguishable from Smith's.
How "fake" that is, I don't know.
Anyway, I agree that I'd be shocked if he was picked in the 2nd or 3rd round, like Smith was. I'm merely saying that his height doesn't limit him to playing in the slot - it appears as if many of his assets actually lend themselves to the outside.
Santana Moss, De'vry Henderson, Laverneous Coles, Lee Evans have all had reputable NFL careers despite being under 6'0".
The guy may only be 185lbs, but he was power cleaning over 300lbs before he even got into a college weight room. He's a baby ox.

Timetrak® chronographs are highly individualized patterns, tracings in time that begin when we are born or a key ("genesis") event occurs. These Timetraks® depict chains of activity that are twofold: external factors (career matters, where we work or live) and internal factors (health, relationships, emotional concerns.) MERLIN creates snapshots of time -- Timetraks® by using a single, "frozen moment" of time as a starting point. MERLIN pinpoints three elements about such periods of activity: the onset, the intensity, and the duration.
We provide a Library of recent Timetraks® below, which demonstrates the applicability of the Timetrak® chronographs to recent events and people in the news.
How To Interpret A Timetrak - Interpreting Merlin Timetraks® The MERLIN chronograph or Timetrak® is a composite image that is made up of two separate time models. The solid or darker portion of the display is often reflective of EXTERNAL objective realities, when applied to an individual. It indicates factors such as their career, status or living situation. The shaded or lighter portion reflects more INTERNAL subjective concerns, for example health or emotional matters. Analogous factors can often be applied even to countries or projects and situations, where a meaningful reference can be drawn.

The power of social networking helped a Uhrichsville family pay for surgery after its cat was seriously injured.
Ashley Reynolds said her cat, Tigger, has been a fighter since the day she pulled him from underneath a house.
"He was just one of two survivors from a litter of six," she said of the yellow tiger cat. "He's faced a challenge from the start."
Reynolds' husband, Mike, discovered Tigger had suffered injuries, especially to his head, Monday afternoon. He found the cat outside the family's home. Nobody can be certain how Tigger was injured, since there are no witnesses and nobody has stepped forward with information.
"My sister-in-law called every vet in Tuscarawas County but there really isn't anywhere to get emergency surgery," Reynolds explained. "Valley View took him in and we applied for credit, but we couldn't get it."
Told that the surgery would cost in the range of $305 to $335, and without the funds now to get Tigger the help he needed, a campaign was started on Facebook to get the cat help. The response from the Facebook community has been overwhelming, Reynolds said. By mid-morning Tuesday, $310 was raised and Tigger had surgery at Valley View Animal Hospital in Dover that afternoon to have his eye removed. Tigger also pierced his tongue with one of his teeth, but that injury will heal without surgery, the veterinarian said.
"This means everything to me," said Reynolds of Uhrichsville. "I grew up in this town and I've never seen anyone not help someone or help an animal if they needed it."
Valley View Animal Hospital Administrator Linda Hutras said it shows the power of social networking.
"It shows how something like Facebook can make a difference," she said. "We started getting calls and receiving donations as soon as the picture hit the Tuscarawas County Humane Society Facebook page."

Newspaper article St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
U.N. Blasts U.S. Deadline on Somalia Promise to Leave Undermines Missions Elsewhere, Source Says
Article excerpt
The decision to pull U.S. forces out of Somalia in six months threatens the entire U.N. operation there and jeopardizes U.N. peacekeeping missions everywhere, a high-ranking U.N. official said Monday.
Haiti, he said, is the first result: The mob that blocked the landing of U.S. soldiers there Monday drew the lesson from Somalia that U.S. and U.N. forces, if blocked, simply will go home.
Haiti shows that President Bill Clinton's decision to pull the U.S. contingent out of Somalia by March 31 "is having a real international dimension," said the official, who requested anonymity.
Clinton's order clearly has thrown U.N. headquarters in New York into disarray. After four post-Cold War years in which the United Nations saw itself as the focus of a "new world order," it now is scrambling just to keep its peacekeeping role alive.
Suddenly, the official said, the overriding problem for the United Nations in Somalia is not the fighting, or the hunt for Mohamed Farrah Aidid, but the gap that will be left by the U.S. soldiers and the threat that other nations will follow suit.
"Aidid is not the real problem," he said. "The real problem is what will be the situation after March 31."
U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, in a public plea to Clinton and other leaders, said that the United Nations' member nations must support it "if they don't want to play by themselves the role of policemen of the world."
Boutros-Ghali reminded Clinton that "in the United States, public opinion is not ready to play the role of sheriff."
Talking Monday with a small group of reporters representing news media throughout the world, the secretary-general touched a theme that has infuriated his staff for most of the past week: The incessant rhetoric from Washington that has blamed him and the United Nations for the questionable military operations that culminated in a disastrous raid that left 17 American soldiers dead.
"I don't want to provoke the member states," he said in reply to a question about his role as scapegoat. "I need the member states. . . . I must help the member states so that they will be able to help me. If the member states need the United Nations to overcome certain internal problems, the United Nations must accept."
He went on, "The United States public opinion is not ready. …

Piano travels by covered wagon
Written by Jeannette Emerson with Goldie Saathoff providing the history
George Twyman, the owner of the local livery stable in Drexel, was asked by a traveler to put the man's team of horses in the barn overnight. The next day when the customer was ready to pay the bill he asked if Mr. Twyman was interested in buying a piano. The man said he had too heavy a load and money was getting short. Well, Mr. Twyman bought the piano. This was around 1905.
The piano remained in the Twyman home until 1961 when it was sold at auction to a granddaughter, Goldie Saathoff of Adrian, Missouri. It remained in her home from 1961 until being brought to the WMAT&MA Pioneer Village in 1996. It had only been moved one time in 90 years! It can be seen in the Pioneer Village Museum today along with the crochet scarf made by Mrs. Ruby Twyman in the l920's and always decorating the top of the piano. It is accompanied by a round piano stool with ornate legs and round glass ball feet. The metal plaque inside the piano states it is a Lyon and Healy, made in Chicago and "Patented February 26, 1878.
Come by the museum any Saturday from 10-2 through August for a guided tour by members of the Adrian Area Historical Society. There you will see that very piano that traveled by covered wagon, was left behind by its family and was appreciated and cared for by the Twyman and Saathoff families for so many years.

Recipe: Spinach & Cheese Baked Ziti
Recently I made a spinach and cheese filling for my Mini Italian Calzones…. and Warren couldn't get enough of the spinach and cheese filled ones…. so I figured I'd make a Spinach and Cheese Baked Ziti… it was a definite success… a perfect meatless meal that really goes together quickly… while it was in the oven.. I made salads… and we had a terrific weeknight meal.
Make the ziti al dente… al dente meaning cooked but still a bit chewy…. the ziti will cook more when it's baked…. follow package instructions for al dente.
After boiling and draining the ziti… I let the pot cool a bit and use that to mix the ziti with the sausage and tomato sauce… it's the perfect size and one less bowl to clean.
If using commercial tomato sauce you will need a jar about 2 lbs 13 oz or if you are making your own… roughly the equivalent to that amount.
Drain the spinach well… place the cooked spinach in a strainer and press the water out of it….you don't want it to make the cheese soupy.
This recipe easily feeds 6. Need less?.... it reheats wonderfully for leftovers…. or after the leftovers have cooled… lift it with two spatulas into an airtight container and freeze…. When you want it again… left it again and place in a baking dish to thaw in the fridge and then bake covered with foil at 350 degrees F until bubbly along the sides… you will have to peek underneath the foil to check it… it should take about 30 minutes.
When reheating the Baked Ziti… spray the foil with cooking oil spray and place the oiled side down so the cheese won't stick to the foil…. I also use Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick Foil… the stuff is worth it's weight in gold… nothing sticks to it.
I hope you try it!
Recipe: Spinach and Cheese Baked Ziti
All you need:
1 package ziti, prepared according to package instructions (al dente)
15 ounce container part skim ricotta cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup frozen spinach, cooked and drained
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoons Italian Seasoning
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Tomato sauce – about 2 lbs. 13 ounce size jar (store bought or homemade)
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Cooking oil spay (olive oil is preferred)
All you need to do:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. Set aside.
Prepare ziti according to package directions.
Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
Add the ricotta, spinach, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian Seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and ½ cup mozzarella cheese to the egg mixture…mix well.
Return the ziti to the original pot you boiled it in…. add enough tomato sauce to thoroughly coat the zit… make sure it is well coated…. it will take about ½ a jar.
Add half the ziti to the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spread the spinach and cheese mixture over the ziti.
Sprinkle the spinach and cheese mixture with ½ cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Spread the rest of the ziti over the cheese.
Drizzle tomato sauce over the top and reserve the rest of the sauce to serve at the table.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top of the ziti.
Lightly…very lightly spray cooking spray on the mozzarella cheese… this will aid in smoothly melting the cheese.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for about 30-35 minutes or until bubbly and cheese has melted.
Heat remaining tomato sauce and serve with the baked ziti.

Steve and Jan Gaswint at Black Run Transmission in Nashport.
Steve Gaswint started Black Run Transmission in 1986 as a way to compensate for lost income after his wife left her job to care for their new baby. BRT began in Gaswint's two-car garage. Gaswint worked a 48-hour-a-week job and then would work at BRT in the evenings. BRT became too much to do solely in the evenings, so Gaswint quit his full-time job in 1988 to concentrate on BRT. In 1996, due to the growth of the business, they purchased a building at a separate location. "This move was one of the best decisions we have made," Gaswint said.
BRT is located in Nashport, Ohio and specializes in medium- and heavy-duty transmission and differentials. It also rebuilds gear boxes and oil field equipment. The latest addition to the business is a complete line of performance parts and services. BRT has an extensive parts inventory which enables quick turnaround time and parts sales.
A member of NFIB for approximately 15 years, Gaswint was first attracted because he wanted to have a voice in Washington, D.C. Gaswint has been an activist while being an NFIB member by writing letters to members of Congress. Also to further the cause of small business Gaswint started the Zanesville local association with another area small business owner and invited NFIB representatives to come and speak.
The biggest challenges that face BRT are the proposed government mandates included in card check (also known as the Employee Free Choice Act) and healthcare legislation. Gaswint asked, "Will the market stand the price increases necessary to sustain these programs?" While Gaswint faces challenges, he also experiences many benefits of being a small business owner. "The best part is being in control of our own future. When we give 110 percent we get the benefits of that hard work," said Gaswint.

West Valley police quell shoving match at Tongan church
West Valley City • Emotions erupted during and after services at the Tongan United Methodist Church Sunday as the congregation gathered for the first time since members learned why their pastor was removed from his post.
West Valley City Police officers served as greeters as churchgoers arrived, and things seemed to be going well until late in the service when someone pulled the fire alarm.
That halted a musical number, which continued soon after the siren stopped blaring. The real commotion came when congregation members filed out of the church and into the south parking lot.
Words were exchanged, and a drink and flip-flops were thrown, as some church members engaged in pushing and shoving. Two police officers quickly restored the peace and were joined by more officers.
Although the Rev. Havili Mone was suspended in August, church authorities only recently disclosed it was because he failed to promptly report alleged sexual abuse of young boys who belonged to the church by an older boy.
Observers of Sunday's melee said the opposing sides were relatives of a victim of the alleged abuse and the family of the accused boy.
No arrests were made and the parking lot eventually emptied.
"It is difficult to talk about this. Everyone is excited to tell their side," said the Rev. Eddie Kelemeni, who has served as Mone's replacement since August.

Dio is a better singer, but Ozzy was, is and forever will be Black Sabbath. That's why when they reunite from time to time, the Ozzy version is called Black Sabbath and the Dio version is called Heaven and Hell.

Ozzy is and was coo-coo for co co puffs. He has been depicted as a tragically sad, pathetic punch line of a rock star on reality TV and rightly so. RJD just plain scares the hell out of everone, he may be lucifer's secretary of state.

Addo seeks answers on dead jackalsComment on this story
Johannesburg - A reward has been offered by the Addo Elephant National Park after 36 jackals and two crows were poisoned.
"We are offering a reward of R10 000 for information which may lead to the successful prosecution of the persons responsible for the poisoning," SA National Parks spokeswoman Fayroush Ludick said on Friday.
"The 36 is what we are aware of. Addo covers about 180 000 hectares. We found the first carcass on Sunday, August 10, and the last carcass on Monday, August 18."
She said there were also unconfirmed reports that two bat-eared foxes were affected.
Ludick said traces of the poison had not been found yet, but that a toxicology report by the ARC-Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute confirmed they died of a poisonous pesticide known as methomyl, which is usually used by citrus farmers.
"Conservation staff members are still combing the park for any further carcasses and any trace of the substance."
Ludick said a case relating to the discarding of toxic chemicals under the Protected Areas Act had been opened with police.
She said vehicle searches in and out of the park had been intensified because of the poisoning.

There has been a very large flurry of letters about Michael Riley's column saying Jesus would be a socialist today ("Socialism: It's the model God aimed to achieve," April 20).
Almost every letter said: No, Jesus would know that socialism is a bad thing.
This brings up the story of Helen Keller. Keller was blind and deaf, yet managed to graduate from college and write books. Her story is told as an inspiration to people all over.
But very few books tell what she did after graduation. We assume that she worked for the causes of the visually- and hearing-impaired. Not so.
Helen Keller was a lifelong socialist who worked to bring about socialism. So why don't books tell this?
It is because Americans consider socialism a bad thing, and it would tarnish Helen Keller's reputation and make her not such an inspiration. So we hide the truth.
As a retired educator, I find this intellectually dishonest. The students have a right to know and make up their own minds.

EXETER, R.I. -- The election to recall four members of the Exeter Town Council, who supported state legislation requiring Rhode Islanders to apply for permits to carry a concealed weapon, has been set for Dec. 14, a Saturday.
Mary B. Hall, clerk of the Exeter Board of Canvassers, said absentee ballot applications can be picked up at Town Hall. Those must be returned before Nov. 23 for the state to mail out the absentee ballots. A person does not have to be out of town on the date of the election to apply for an absentee ballot, Hall said.
The usual three polling places will be open Dec. 14. They are the St. Kateri Tekakwith Church, 84 Exeter Rd; the Exeter Job Corps Academy on Main Street and Metcalf Elementary School on Nooseneck Hill Road, (Route 3).
The election is to vote yes or no on four questions, each to recall one of four town council members. If any one is recalled, the highest vote-getter in last November's election will replace that council member.
The four candidates facing recall are Council President Arlene B. Hicks, Vice President William Monahan, Robert Johnson and Calvin A. Ellis, all Democrats. The one council member not facing recall is independent Raymond A. Morrissey Jr.
Three candidates ran last November without getting elected. If four council members are recalled, the three candidates would be seated, and they, along with the council member who was not up for recall, would select the fifth council member.
A recall has not happened in Exeter before, Hall said. "It's an adventure for the whole town."
