Return to Story IndexI CONSUMER QUILTING
AS EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR JENIFER MCANDREWS FOUND-- EVEN THOSE WHO YOU THINK ARE YOUR BEST FRIENDS COULD END UP BETRAYING YOU. (V/O) A QUILTING GROUP HARDLY SEEMS LIKE THE SETTING FOR A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR SCAM. BUT THAT'S WHERE KATHERINE O'KEEFE WAS TARGETED. "Our relationship went from women involved in this quilting group to extremely close friends. Neither of us had sisters. We very much regarded each other as sisters." O'KEEFE IS TALKING ABOUT ROBIN BRASS, WHOM SHE MET IN THE QUILTING GROUP. OVER SEVERAL YEARS, THE TWO WOMEN BECAME SO CLOSE THEIR FAMILIES VACATIONED BRASS CLAIMED TO HAVE A "CAN'T LOSE INVESTMENT FORMULA" AND O'KEEFE TRUSTED HER-NO QUESTIONS ASKED. "On paper we certainly made money. We received continual statements. She would come to our house, sit down at our dining room table and go over our statements with us." ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF LATER, EVERYTHING CHANGED. "There were checks that had bounced… we accepted what seemed like plausible reasons for that. In retrospect should have been enormous flags to us." POSTAL INSPECTORS SAY B-B-R WAS A FRONT FOR AN ELABORATE PONZI SCHEME THAT STOLE MORE THAN $2 MILLION DOLLARS FROM VICTIMS. "When you think about what this suspect had to go through to gain the trust of all these professional, good people, "greed" comes to mind. Unfortunately - it is a powerful motivator." I'M JENIFER MCANDREWS... EYEWITNESS NEWS. BRASS' PONZI SCHEME - LIKE MOST - ONLY LASTED AS LONG AS SHE CONTINUED TO LURE IN NEW INVESTORS TO PAY OLD INVESTORS. UNFORTUNATELY, KATHARINE O'KEEFE AND HER FRIENDS IN THE QUILTING GROUP WERE ON THE LOSING END OF THE PYRAMID.

AND KEEPING DEAR OLD DAD HEALTHY SHOULD BE TOP PRIORITY... DOCTORS SAY NOW IS THE TIME FOR MEN TO MAKE THEIR HEALTH A PRIORITY. EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER DARRAH WILCOX HAS MORE IN THIS WEEK'S HEALTHY FOR LIFE. AS PART OF NATIONAL MEN'S HEALTH WEEK, EXPERTS ENCOURAGE MEN TO BE PROACTIVE IN LIVING A HEALTHIER LIFE. THAT CAN BE AS SIMPLE AS JUST GOING IN FOR A CHECKUP. "We get routine bloodwork to make sure a patient's cholesterol looks okay, make sure that their blood sugar, their electrolytes, kidney and liver function, seem to be okay." Doctors can identify chronic diseases earlier, and then lay out treatment options. "The biggest things we have to deal with are blood pressure problems, cholesterol problems, blood sugar problems, diabetes." They not only handle those types of ongoing chronic medical conditions, but also screen men for other sorts of diseases, like prostate cancer or colon cancer. "I try to make my patients feel as comfortable as possible you know understanding that most men don't like to come to the doctor, and if you recognize that fact and try to cater to that, then I think that that makes it easier to be seen on a regular, more frequent basis." Here are five ways you can get on track to better health: FIVE WAYS TO GET HEALTHIER: *get more sleep *exercise more *tame stress *eat healthy *toss out tobacco get more sleep exercise more tame stress eat healthy toss out tobacco And take that first step by going in for a simple checkup. "Whether it just be one visit a year to make sure things look good, you're on track with general screening protocol, I think making that time for yourself and making that priority is probably the most important thing we can stress." sigout YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE MEN'S HEALTH TIPS ON WCHS TV DOT COM.

WHEN WILL WE FINALLY SEE MORE JOBS CREATED AND FEWER PEOPLE OUT OF WORK? ACCORDING TO THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS 11-POINT-EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE REMAIN UNEMPLOYED. AND THAT DOES NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THOSE WHO'VE ABANDONED THE JOB MARKET OR ARE UNDEREMPLOYED. WE ARE STILL NO WHERE NEAR WHERE WE NEED TO PUSH DOWN LEVELS OF UNEMPLOYMENT NOT SEEN SINCE THE START OF THE RECESSION FIVE YEARS AGO. THINK FOR A MOMENT THAT THE ECONOMY IS A PATIENT IN THE HOSPITAL. NO LONGER ON EMERGENCY ROOM LIFE SUPPORT BUT ON SOME DAYS STILL IN NEED OF CRITICAL CARE. YES, THE HOUSING MARKET HAS REBOUNDED SOMEWHAT AND FEWER COMPANIES ARE LAYING OFF WORKERS THAN IN 2010 OR 2011.. BUT STEVEN ISBERG [PRONOUNCED IS-BERG] , A FINANCE EXPERT, SAYS AMERICA CAN'T DEPEND ON HOUSING CONSTRUCTION FOR NEW JOB GROWTH THE WAY IT DID BEFORETHE FINANCIAL COLLAPSE IN 2008. SOT IN 21:37:12 "You keep hearing about well you get the housing market going again. Even the housing market won't do it because that's only about 15 percent of total construction jobs, and housing construction is at about half of what it was."

[FRAZAO STANDUP ] "THE CRUEL IRONY BEHIND THIS -- ACCORDING TO THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS-- THERE ARE MORE JOB OPENINGS RIGHT NOW -- THREE-POINT-SEVEN MILLION MORE THAN THERE ARE PEOPLE SEEKING JOBS. IN APRIL, ROUGHLY TWO-POINT-FOUR-MILLION PEOPLE WERE OUT OF WORK , LOOKING FOR A JOB." TRT=:14 THE NUMBER OF UNEMPLOYED MUST FALL BETWEEN FIVE AND SIX PERCENT, BEFORE, ECONOMISTS, SAY WE WILL SEE FULL RESTORATION OF THE LABOR MARKET. AND TO GET THERE, THE U.S WOULD HAVE TO CREATE 250-THOUSAND JOBS A MONTH. IN MAY, ONE OF THE STRONGEST MONTHS FOR HIRING, ONLY 175 THOUSAND NEW JOBS WERE CREATED. IN 10:25:51 This year 2013, we will just tread water and go sideways possibly, but it maybe another two years before we see significant improvements."

Return to Story IndexMAN OF STEEL
IN TONIGHT'S SCREEN GEMS, EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER KENNIE BASS TELLS US IF "MAN OF STEEL" FLIES HIGH OR CRASHES TO EARTH. But a new Superman is the star of "Man Of Steel." Written by David Goyer and directed by Zack Snyder. it retells Superman's origins from his birth on Krypton to growing up in Smallville to making his way to Metropolis. Henry Cavill takes the title role. He's first shown as a helpful drifter, staying off of the radar while still helping people. A chance meeting with Lois Lane comes when he's first learning about home planet. That helps set him on the path to don a new blue and red suit and take to the skies. CLIP Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: Superman has been on Earth for more than three decades when a group of Kryptonian soldiers find him and demand he surrender. Led by Michael Shannon's General Zod they lay down the law. If Superman doesn't give himself up, the world will suffer. CLIP Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: I'm a huge Superman fan. I have been for years, so there are parts of this film that I loved. Krypton's new portrayal as a vibrant, action-packed world was a nice change. And Russell Crowe's Jor-El bears the weight of sacrificing his only son to save him. Cavill fills out the suit nicely and gives a nuanced performance. His Clark isn't a bumbling nerd, he's more of a shadowy ghost who drifts from place to place staying anonymous. Amy Adams is feisty and strong as Lois Lane and Michael Shannon's Zod personifies the right amount of malice and danger. Kevin Costner and Diane Lane are memorable as Jonathan and Martha Kent, who instill good morals into their son. But, some of the positive feelings about Costner's performance are wiped out by a decision he makes, one which I don't believe for a second the character would choose. It was forced and unnecessary. In fact, that's my biggest complaint about "Man Of Steel." Much of it feels forced, from Clark and Lois' relationship to the massive destruction caused by Superman's battles against the would-be Kryptonian conquerors. There is so little regard for human life, by anyone, that is just doesn't feel like Superman. While battling his foes, Kal-El doesn't take a second to consider the collateral damage, and that's just wrong. And, he's forced to make a choice near the end which lost me completely. The sheer magnitude of destruction is distracting. I found myself thinking, how many are people are dying during this fight? That's something I think Superman should be thinking about, too. With very few exceptions, there isn't much joy in this movie. Which is a shame. Superman is about more than just flying and being strong. He's an ideal, which isn't characterized by "Man of Steel." On my rating scale, "Man of Steel" earns a triple. It's a good movie with great action, but not nearly enough heart. You can see it in the Charleston area at Marquee Cinemas at Southridge and in Huntington at Pullman Square. And now you have a chance to win a pair of movie passes courtesy of Screen Gems and brought to you by Frontier Communications. Just be the 11th caller at 866-831-0811 and you win! Good luck.
