Hayden begins state campaign to rid high schools of smokers
The Associated Press
TOPEKA—Gov. Mike Hayden and three national health groups kicked off a campaign today designed to make the state's high school graduating class of 2000 free of smokers.
The state's effort, in which schools will disseminate material about the hazards of smoking to children starting in the first grade, is part of a national program called the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association and the American Lung Association.
Hayden marked the beginning of the campaign with brief remarks on the north steps of the State Capitol, where he crossed across the state, who wore yellow "smoke free" T-shirts, flanked him. Hayden, the children and campaign officials released yellow balloons at the end of the ceremony.
"We can't help but be reminded
that the use of tobacco is the single most preventable cause of death and disease in the nation," Hayden said. "There is a strong correlation between cigarette smoking and use of alcohol and other drugs."
Tom Houston, chairman of the state's Smoke Free Class of 2004 Committee, said the groups would be encouraged across the state for the next 12 years. Approximately 250 elementary schools — about 25 percent of those in the state — will participate in the program in some way, he said.
"We're tracking the kids and seeing if there's a measurable difference," Houston said. "They're our experimental group."
Houston said studies showed that about 20 percent of the nation's high school seniors smoke, compared to about 28 percent of the general population. He said a realistic goal would be to
reduce that the figure to 10 percent or below.
"This is the kind of carnage we want to stop," Houston said. He hooked at an age at which they don't make a responsible decision."
Hayden also said he would continue his efforts to get the Legislature to pass stricter anti-smoking laws. Lawmakers last year used of tobacco in public school beds in which classes are held.
"I favor the elimination of smoking in the Capitol building." Hayden said. "I will be visiting with legislative leaders about that."
Hayden also said he had started a program to get members of his staff to quit smoking. He said a person on his staff could quit for six months, he or she would get a raise for the next six months.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Jim and Tammy Baker told attorneys they didn't know where PTL's money came from or how its finances were managed when they led the investigation of a depoisoned file with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Baker, who repeatedly said he did not recall seeing various memos about PTLs' finances was asked if she aided did not properly inform him.
He replied, "I was exhausted half the time and reading them at 11 or 12 (p.m.) before dropping off to sleep, and I could have been informed and would not even know it, I would have been so tired."
The IRS claims Mrs. Bakker's annual *salaries* during her last four years at PTL were $49,964 in 1983-84, $142,586 in 1987, and $90,736 in 1988.
1985-96 and 1986-97. During that period she also received bonuses totaling $285,000, according to IRS records.
PTL records that show during those years Bakker, as PTL's leader, received nearly $8.3 million in salary and bonuses; a $4 million benefit received in lieu of pay.
The Bakkers' comments were contained in 814 pages of depositions taken under oath for a Sept. 12 trial, which PTL attorneys will try to override the government ministry assets from the Bakkers and former top aide Dagtagt.
