"I have no problem with it." But Sharon Eolis, a nurse practitioner at Cabrini Medical Center in Manhattan, takes a more cynical view. She believes the Bush administration is urging the vaccine simply to "build up a little hysteria" ahead of an attack on Iraq.

Firefighters blame apartment owners for lack of water MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) City officials are blaming the owners of an apartment complex for a lack of fire hydrants, which hampered firefighters' efforts to keep one of the buildings from burning down. "It's not the water company's responsibility," City Building Commissioner Jerry Friend said Wednesday.

"It is not the city's. It is the apartment complex's responsibility to put hydrants in. Something needs to be done about this issue statewide." Colonial Crest Apartments was built in 1971, 15 years before most fire codes that govern apartment complexes were written.

"My personal opinion is they need to have hydrants out there." A fire Tuesday destroyed a building at the complex in east central Indiana.

With the nearest fire hydrant threequarters of a mile away, city firefighters sought help from nearby volunteer departments, who hauled water to the scene in tanker trucks. During a previous fire at Colonial Crest in October 1989, firefighters were able to pump water from a nearby pond. But that pond was frozen during this week's fire. Ken Sturzenegger, a Philadelphia businessman who bought the 30-building complex in 1990, said he was aware of the 1989 fire but did not know about the lack of hydrants. "I didn't build the complex," Sturzenegger said.

"I am not certain why there are no hydrants. It was never an issue with the insurance companies that cover us." The blaze remained under investigation Wednesday. Former auditor pleads guilty to racketeering charges HAMMOND, Ind. (AP) Lake County's former auditor pleaded guilty to racketeering and money laundering charges less than a month after leaving office. Former Auditor Peter Benjamin remained free on bond after a hearing Wednesday in federal court.

Benjamin, 55, could face up to 40 years in prison when he is sentenced May 12. Prosecutors dismissed seven other counts, including charges of mail fraud, bank fraud and witness tampering as part of the plea agreement accepted Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Allen Sharp. Benjamin could have faced a maximum sentenced of 115 years. in prison and a $8 millionfine if convicted on all nine counts.

The federal indictment did not accuse Benjamin of any wrongdoing as county auditor. His term expired at the end of 2002. Prosecutors alleged that Benjamin, the county auditor since 1999, gave a $4,000 bribe in 1998 to Troy Montgomery, who was then president of the County Council, to become the county's attorney in a lawsuit. The county paid Benjamin nearly $368,000 for legal work over a 2 period. Benjamin has since lost his license to practice law for the next five years.

Health care unions have criticized the Bush administration, accusing it of cutting corners on screening and training.

Rd. 28 E. Elwood, IN 552-2781 MR. HAPPY BURGER As a budding entrepreneur, you want to have the best environment for your office to keep you happy, productive and profitable. Someday you want an office outside the home but for now you know the best approach is to begin at home.

So, how do you go about doing this? If there's disorganization and a lack of efficiency in your office, in most cases, the the problem is the physical setup. The first mistake people tend to make when establishing a home office is putting the office in the wrong place. Your home office is a place where you will spend a tremendous amount of time. So, above all, it should be a space you enjoy as opposed to the only spare room you can identify, or the place you think it will "fit." If space in your home is at a premium, you may not even have on entire room to devote to your home office. What's more important is that it be a well-defined space.

Make it visually distinct from the rest of the room. Your priority is shielding yourself, physical-. ly and psychologically, from anything that interferes with your concentration and productivity. To get a handle on an efficient office workspace, focus on your files first. Simply stated, the way you design your filing system should be a reflection of what you do.

what's important to you and where you're going." When you're just starting out, the temptation to buy file cabinets, bookcases and other storage containers immediately is irresistible. However, it is best to wait until you know exactly what you will be storing. Start by organizing and grouping your office papers, publications, supplies and materials into categories and decide what you can discard. Then, once you know what you are keeping and have measured the space it will take, you can decide where and how to store it. That way, you won't waste money and your purchases are more likely to be a perfect fit.

Another filing dilemma is deciding what to keep and what to toss. Generally speaking, there is no reason to keep several copies of the some document on file. Keep the original in a plastic sleeve for protection, and maybe one copy for easy circulation. Don't keep drafts of documents; retain only your final version. If possible, store the final on a disk and ditch the plastic sleeve.

There are many choices when deciding what kind of equipment BOB SCHULER you will need to run your business. It is best to identify what will be most useful in your office setting. Advice from office supply personnel and Web sites can prove helpful. Natural light is the best, but nearly any home office will need a steady supply of artificial lighting. Fluorescent and incandescent lighting or a combination will work.

What are your equipment priorities? Working from Home, by Paul and Sarah Edwards, identifies the following components of a wellequipped home office: 1. Two-line cordless telephone 2. Answering machine or service 3. Voice-mail 4. Pager or cellular phone 5.

Fax or fax modem 6. Desktop and portable computers 7. Laser or inkjet printer 8. Modem 9. Copier 10.

Scanner Some of these items may be on your wish list. At the same time, other equipment might do doubleduty, such as a plain-paper fax machine that can also make copies. For more expensive equipment, you may investigate leasing as an alternative to outright purchase. A mistake people make in planning their home office is buying the wrong furniture-and especially, not buying the correct desk. Although most people tend to think they need a computer desk, these are designed only for computer work and don't provide an adequate work surface for any other type of work.
