Slippery Rock supervisors deny variance over setback
Slippery Rock Township supervisors deny a variance to Keith Hoffmeier who began constructing a 160 by 40 feet self storage facility near Route 65 at Route 388. They say the building sits 30 feet outside the building line and violates township setback rules though Hoffmeier plans four facilities and has invested about $20,000. He intends to appeal in court while the board appointed Frank B. Taylor Engineering as consulting engineer and set tax due dates and meeting changes.

Heavy college drinkers rise as teetotalers grow too
Harvard School of Public Health released a survey showing 44 percent of college students were binge drinkers in 1999, up from 43 in 1997 and 45 in 1993, while teetotalers rose from 15 to 19 percent. The study, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, surveyed 14,000 students and suggested campus policy changes and more alcohol-free activities to curb risky drinking.

Men neglect health care, survey finds in US study
An independent survey finds many men avoid medical care until serious symptoms appear. It notes delayed exams, low cholesterol and cancer screening rates, and acknowledges cost and gender expectations as barriers. The Commonwealth Fund study interviewed over 1,000 men and 2,000 women, with notable uninsured and low income groups reporting less care.

Aspirin Underused by Heart Disease Patients
A Dallas AP report notes only about one quarter of eligible heart disease patients take aspirin. Harvard Medical School's Dr. Randall Stafford says many risk greater problems by not using aspirin, which reduces clot risk and may prevent strokes and angina, despite ulcers, bleeding, and allergy risks. The Circulation study confirms prior findings that underuse of simple treatments harms outcomes.
