The next big legal battle between the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press and the six unions that struck them in 1995 will get under way on May 4 next year in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

A three-judge panel will listen to arguments from representatives of the National Labor Relations Board, the unions and the newspapers.

The long-anticipated court date, along with the names of the three judges and a complicated schedule of dates for filing legal briefs, was announced last week.

Union lawyers say they expect an Appeals Court ruling within three months of the hearing. This is the last major step before any appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The U.S. Court of Appeals panel will consider a request by the NLRB for enforcement of its order that the

News and Free Press and their business arm, Detroit Newspapers, immediately return all workers — with full back pay and benefits — to the jobs they held prior to the strike that began July 13, 1995. The back pay and benefits, minus any income earned during that period, are retroactive to February 1997, when the six unions agreed to end the strike and return to work. The dispute officially became a lockout when the papers failed to return workers to their jobs.

The court also will hear a plea from the companies to overturn the NLRB’s ruling against them. The unions will appeal a number of issues on which an administrative law judge ruled against the companies but which the labor board failed to uphold.

The three judges who will hear the case are Laurence Silberman, James Buckley and David Sentelle. All three were appointed by President Ronald See APPEALS Page 4

A message of solidarity

Tipper Gore, wife of Vice President Al Gore, speaks at a union dinner at the Hyatt Regency in Detroit on Thursday. Gore brought a message of hope and solidarity to the gathering for COPE — the political action fund of the AFL-CIO. “Our work is far from over despite the economic successes. We must be there for those left behind in this strong economy. We need to widen the circle of dignity for workers,” she told the crowd of about 1,000.

Gimme a break.

A group of experts who probably have live-in nannies or stay-at-home spouses is trying to get ordinary parents to ban TV for kids under 2. (See story, Page 11.)

Television is bad for the babies, say the members of the American Academy of Pediatrics. It can lead to all manner of horrendous social problems. Obesity. Anti-social behavior. Unbridled boldness and something called “extremely precocious sexual knowledge.”

In ponderous phrases that could hammer out a new face on Mt. Rushmore, these experts intone that the boob tube is not a baby sitter. Well, at least they got that right. You don’t have to drive it home at night. You don’t have to lock up your charge cards when it’s in your house. You don’t have to grill your kids to see if Betty or Sally had company while you were gone. You don’t have

Susan Watson

to worry about hurting its feelings.

And — this is the main reason — when you need it most, it’s there. No excuses; no tests the next morning; no colds; no headaches; no standing you up at the last minute.

TV not a baby sitter? Get real.

If God had not meant for that bit of mechanical wizardry to mesmerize the howling babe, She never would have created 319 varieties of frozen pizza to go with that wondrous wand known as the remote control, which can be used with equal ease by tots and tabbies.

One of the strongest arguments the docs make is that TV turns kids into rash, fat, self-centered little farts who are much too interested in sex. I’d get upset about that, but upon closer examination, those qualities describe the average American to a tee — even those born too early or too poor to have had TV as a baby sitter.

We’re a bunch of flubby-tubbies. We’d rather spend time watching the exploits of Bonnie and Clyde than Jimmy and Roslyn. And we are throwing money at the makers of Viagra faster than they can take it to the bank.

But we were social misfits long before Teletubbies, purple dinosaurs or Pokemon came long. No disrespect meant (after all, I voted for the guy twice), but Bill Clinton, that rash, chunky and sexually charged guy who occupies the White House, personifies everything the experts say is dangerous about toddler-TV viewing. For that matter, Liz Taylor and Anthony Quinn, both of whom are even older than the prez, also fit the bill.

The way I see it, being greedy, sexually neurotic and mentally warped is part of America’s manifest destiny. Don’t blame the one-eyed baby sitter.

A selfless person would not have crossed the country, stealing land from Native Americans and destroying them with guns and disease. A Goody Two-shoes would not have lynched people because of the color of their skin or treated them like second-class citizens because of their sex. The sexually well-adjusted would not give rise to an epidemic of abuse.

TV ain’t all it should — or could — be. But it certainly isn’t the cause of our problems.

And, unlike those flesh-and-blood baby sitters and nannies, the boob tube will never get you in trouble with the IRS for failing to pay withholding taxes on their wages.

Those experts better watch out.

Special to the Journal

The 26 editors the Detroit Free Press was trying to have declared as supervisors are nothing more than “straw bosses” who should remain in Guild Local 22’s contract with the newspaper, says the regional director of the National Labor Relations Board.

“The record contains no evidence, nor does it appear that the Employer contends, that the disputed individuals or positions have the independent authority* to hire, transfer, suspend, lay off, recall, promote, discharge, reward, discipline or adjust the grievances of other employees,” NLRB Region 7 Director William C. Schaub wrote in his 30-page decision.

The Free Press has indicated it plans to appeal Schaub’s decision to the full five-member NLRB Board in Washington.

John Adam, the attorney who successfully represented the Newspaper Guild of Detroit before the NLRB, said Schaub’s decision is a clear slap at a company that is ignorant and hostile to federal labor law.

“The Free Press doesn’t understand the difference between the exercise of professional journalistic judgment and a supervisor,” Adam said.

“These people helped monitor the flow of the work and are journalists, most of them, and not by any stretch of the imagination supervisors,” Adam said. “But the Free Press’ action was another attempt to undermine the union.

“It has failed again. Guilty again.” The Free Press had petitioned the NLRB to remove these jobs from the Guild contract under a procedure called a unit clarification. Schaub originally put the Free Press petition

Reagan during the 1980s.

The District of Columbia Circuit has a rather conservative bench, according to most legal observers. However, the U.S. Court of Appeals upholds NLRB rulings more than 85 percent of the time, according to attorneys for the six unions involved in the case.

“This is like racing in a 26-mile marathon and reaching the 20-mile mark,” said Sam McKnight, of Klimist, McKnight, Sale, McClow & Canzano, the unions’ lead attorney in the appeals case. “I hope these judges will apply established NLRB and federal law to this case because, if they do that, we will prevail.”

McKnight is confident because findings of the NLRB’s Detroit office that the papers bargained in bad faith and “forced” the strike have been upheld by an administrative law judge and by the five-member NLRB board in Washington, D.C. Previous cases involving similar issues also have been upheld by the federal courts, he noted.

“There is an extraordinary amount of evidence that their bad faith bargaining and unfair labor practices caused the strike,” said McKnight. “Finding that they’re bargaining in bad faith is based on well-established

“It would be prudent to not say you’ve won the case until you’ve won it.”

board (NLRB) and D.C. Circuit laws.” Most notable among the judges is Silberman, who wrote an opinion in 1997 upholding the illegal imposition of a “merit pay” plan on the Newspaper Guild at the Sacramento Bee and Modesto (Calif.) Bee. A “merit pay” plan implemented by the Detroit News for its editorial employees in July 1995 was the trigger for the walkout that month.

In his ’97 opinion, Silberman said: ‘We think the board (NLRB) is free to draw on its expertise to determine that wages are typically of paramount importance in collective bargaining and to suggest that wages ... are expected to be set bilaterally in a collective bargaining relationship.” Essentially, the U.S. Supreme Court has backed the determination by the NLRB and lower federal courts that the imposition of “merit pay” plans cuts right at the gut of collective bargaining and labor law in the United States. The courts have held that unions are the sole designated representative of employees to bargain wages and working conditions, and that companies are not free to unilaterally implement their terms and conditions without bargaining.

While an Appeals Court decision could be taken by either side to the U.S. Supreme Court, it is unlikely the high court would consider the case, said John Adam, an attorney with Martens, Ice, Geary, Klass, Legghio, Israel & Gorchow, a firm representing a number of unions involved in the dispute. The Supreme Court considers only about 100 cases each year out of the more than 5,000 presented to it.

“We finally know when the appellate court is going to hear this case, and that gives us a time frame when this is going to come out,” said Lou Mleczko, president of the Newspaper Guild of Detroit Local 22, which represents editorial and maintenance employees at both papers. “The merit pay issue is rock solid and has already been adjudicated by the federal courts and is the law of the land.”

But Mleczko, also cautioned locked-out workers and the public about the significance of the appeals court hearing and any decision it may hand down. Short of an agreement at the bargaining table, that may not end the labor dispute, he said

A1 Derey, chairman of the Metropolitan Council of Newspaper Unions, agrees this is not the time to become overly optimistic. The unions and the NLRB have a very strong case, but the company might appeal to the Supreme Court and drag the process out even longer.

“It would be prudent to not say you’ve won the case until you’ve won it,” said Derey, who is also secretary-treasury of Tbamsters Local 372. “A lot of people got high hopes a couple of years ago with the 10(j) proceedings (which held the promise of an injunction to return workers to their jobs), only to see them sink when we didn’t get it.”

And McKnight noted that time continues to work both for and against the unions.

“Despite their vast efforts at trying to persuade the public that it’s business as usual and to recapture their business, they can’t do it,” McKnight said of the News and Free Press. “But the passage of time helps fulfill the DNA’s prophecy that by the time we get a remedy, many many of the unreinstated strikers would have gotten other jobs, retired or died.”

LEGISLATURE, from Page 1

deal with the trend toward a patchwork quilt of government regulations” that he claims are impeding businesses.

Studley said business leaders began considering how to thwart local regulations after Detroit passed a living wage ordinance in 1998. That ordinance requires contractors to pay wages above the minimum wage.

Ypsilanti and Ypsilanti Township also have passed living wage ordinances. Others are being considered in Warren, Ann Arbor, Flint, Kalamazoo, Pontiac and other places.

Supporters of living wage laws contend they help local economies, but companies argue any such local ordinances are bad for business.

“The living wage ordinances are just the top of the iceberg,” Studley said. “There’s a growing trend toward local units of government adopting ordinances to regulate business activity already covered under state or federal law.”

Studley mentioned a Marquette ban on smoking in restaurants, a local consumers protection ordinance in Lansing, and efforts by urban-fringe townships in western Michigan to pass stricter environmental ordinances for hog farming and tighter housing regulations for migrant workers.

House Bill 4777, sponsored by Republican State Rep. Robert Gosselin of Troy, would outlaw any local regulation that is stricter than a state or federal law.

No other state has such a comprehensive prohibition on local ordinances.

Efforts by state government to restrict local issues also include measures affecting schools. Besides last year’s Detroit school takeover by Lansing, the Legislature has enacted measures to expand the Labor Day holiday by closing schools on the Friday before the holiday.

Gosselin’s House committee also has passed a bill prohibiting principals and administrators from joining unions. The bill is targeted at the Detroit School District. But about 20 percent of the state’s school districts have principals who are unionized, and the measure’s passage is uncertain.

“It’s not union-busting,” Gosselin said. “Principals and assistant principals are like the boss. They’re in

Some recent legislation that seeks to limit the power of cities, townships and other local authorities:

House Bill 4777: Would preempt local ordinances in subject areas covered by 21 state and local laws. In addition to minimum wages and liquor control, the. laws cover such things as worker safety and health standards, youth employment standards, civil lights, compensation and employment benefits, and consumer protection.

Senate Bill 198: Would abolish residency requirements for city

"ssrw-Mwiw™.

Farm Bill. Would pre-empt local noise and zoning ordinances that govern the use of farm equip

charge of their school. It makes sense that they should be nonunion.”

A bill to toughen the state law prohibiting teacher strikes, also inspired by September’s Detroit teacher strike, remains mired in Gosselin’s committee.

House Bill 4777 would void existing local ordinances and prohibit new ones in the areas of liquor regulations, billboard controls, tobacco regulations and construction code provisions, among other things. It lists 21 specific areas of state and federal law that would be untouchable — including employment law, consumer protection, civil rights laws, family medical leave and labor relations.

In the past, Michigan has passed a few laws restricting local governments from passing stricter measures than state law, notably with regard to tobacco sales and handgun ownership. But no states have a sweeping measure such as the one proposed by Gosselin.

“In some cases, cities go to extreme positions. A lot of businesses were tired of overregulation,” Gosselin explained. “Do we want 1,800 laws on capital punishment or abortion? We’re saying local governments shouldn’t go to the wage issue and some other issues. It drives business up the wall because it creates balkanization.”

The bills come in the wake of failed efforts last spring by legislators to eliminate county gun boards’ control ment.

Senate Bill 235:    Religious

Freedom Bill. Would prohibit any

Senate Bill 380: Hash Bash Bill. Would prohibit, local governments from having a drug possession ordinance with lower penalties than the state law, such as those in Ann Arbor and East Lansing. It has passed the Senate.

Senate Bill 463:    Housing

Construction Bill. Would mandate a uniform state construction code and eliminate locally adopted modifications.

Senate Bill 663: Would ban col-admirxistrators.

over the issuance of concealed weapons permits.

Opposition to Gosselin’s bill was so fierce that more than 120 local officials descended on Lansing last month to hold meetings and lobby legislators against the bill.

An analysis by the Michigan Municipal League said the bill could undermine liquor ordinances that cover minors in possession, consumption of alcohol in parks and schools, and bans on liquor sales near places of worship.

In addition, the study claims, municipalities would have to rely on state law and county prosecutors to enforce laws, rather than city or village attorneys.

The bill remains in Gosselin’s House Committee on Employment Relations, Training and Safety. It and a host of related measures are drawing increasing fire from local officials who feel like business interests have gone too far.

Other legislative measures would ban things such as tighter local construction codes, residency requirements for city employees, anti-noise ordinances that restrict farming, local vetoes of tax abatements, and the use of truck violations fines to fund law enforcement.

Opponents of the bills say there is no economic justification for them.

“The whole notion that local regulation is hindering job creation when we’re at a 30-year low in unemployment is indefensible,” Schrager said.

But Chamber official Studley said 4777 and related measures are designed as “proactive” efforts to ward off any future interference with business.

“It’s true that we have a strong and growing economy at the state level,” said Studley, “but that’s not the case in every community. We’re trying to deal with these issues before they become major problems.”

Meanwhile, opponents such as Schrager argue that 4777 is so broadly worded that it could apply to almost anything.

“To a certain extent it’s a thought ban,” he charged.

Agribusiness concerns are backing 4777 and a companion Senate bill called the “right to farm” bill. Farmers say local regulations are costing too much and preventing them from making necessary improvements. Local noise ordinances and other measures are just ways of trying to close down farms in areas being developed for housing, Studley charged.

Michigan Farm Bureau President Jack Laurie says his organization believes in local control but says local ordinances are creating a confusing patchwork of regulations, which make it hard for farms to stay in business.

Some other measures have identifiable business backers.

The Michigan Home Builders Association is a driving force behind a bill that would stop local governments from adopting construction codes that are stricter than state laws.

Trucking interests are pushing a measure that would prevent local governments from issuing fines for violations of federal and state trucking ordinances and using the money to fund law enforcement. Instead, any fines would have to go to libraries. Backers of the measure say it would stop local governments that are overzealous in issuing fines.

Also, Michigan Gov. John Engler just signed into law a bill that strips away the ability of cities to block tax abatements for companies leaving their boundaries. The 1974 law it amends was intended to keep too many companies from getting property tax breaks to leave Detroit. But earlier this year, Troy refused to OK an “exit visa” for General Motors Corp. to move jobs out of that city to its technical center in Warren.

At last, there may be justice for Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Abu-Jamal has been at the center of an overcharged emotional, legal and racial firestorm for so long that the most important issue of his case has gotten lost amid the furor. That issue is justice.

No American citizen should ever be punished without a fair trial. “Innocent until proven guilty” is one of the foundations upon which our justice system was built.

Abu-Jamal, who always has proclaimed his innocence, was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1981 shooting death of police officer Daniel Faulkner. Since the conviction, Abu-Jamal’s lawyers have said witnesses came forward to say they saw another man shoot Faulkner and run away.

For that reason and several others, a federal judge in Philadelphia last week issued a stay of execution. There was no decision on whether Abu-Jamal would get a new trial.

The stay comes only two weeks after Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge signed Abu-Jamal’s death warrant, despite knowing that a habeas corpus petition from the defendant’s lawyers was being filed for federal court review. That petition cites fabrications and suppression of evidence, racial bias in selecting jurors, and denial of the right to self-representation. It also contains more than 29 issues of constitutional violations that occurred in Abu-Jamal’s trial and appeal. The petition is slightly more than 150 pages long, and contains more than 600 paragraphs of allegations pertinent to the case.

The death warrant signed by Gov. Ridge was the 171st he has signed since 1994. That is five times the number signed by his predecessors over a 25-year period. Ninety-nine percent of the warrants signed by Ridge were done while the defendant still had time to appeal. This governor has a bloodlust that rivals Dracula’s.

Ridge also signed Abu-Jamal’s warrant despite recent calls from the Philadelphia and Pennsylvania Bar Associations for a moratorium on executions until the death penalty system is proved just. A major factor in this is raw, systemic racism. Just as an example, only 9 percent of

Pennsylvania’s population is African-American, yet African-Americans account for 62 percent of inmates on death row. This is the largest racial disparity of any state in the nation.

As if that isn’t enough, a 10-year study by Professor David Baldus of the University of Iowa College of Law found that a young African-American man growing up in Philadelphia is 11.5 times more likely to end up on death row there than in Georgia or Alabama.

Something is terribly wrong with Pennsylvania’s idea of justice, and organized labor is trying to do something about it. The executive board of UAW Local 417, which represents an estimated 2,000 auto parts workers, voted Oct. 12 to support the struggle against Abu-Jamal’s execution and called for a new trial. The Southeast Michigan Local of the National Writers Union, representing about 100 writers, voted that same day to support Abu-Jamal. On Oct. 11, Southeast Michigan Jobs with Justice, which is backed by UAW Local 600, Teamsters Local 2040, other local unions and the Detroit Metro Chapter of the Labor Party, voted in favor of solidarity with Abu-Jamal.

There’s something wrong with justice in Pennsylvania, and a new trial for Abu-Jamal would be a good first step in fixing the system.

10-second editorial

When state Republicans in the Legislature try to choke the life out of local government, they are only tightening the nooses around their own necks.

Off they go, into the wild blue yonder, flying high, into the sky”

Oh, these high flyers are not America’s proud fighter pilots, but the big-butted Pentagon brass. In the multibillionous-dollar Pentagon budget approved by Congress, $17 billion more than was requested was appropriated.

But the bulk of the increase doesn’t go to soldiers. It goes to the contractors who make weapons the Pentagon doesn’t even want, and to pamper the brass.

A billion dollars was stuffed into the “defense” budget to provide luxury-class travel for the nine top-ranking military commanders. These planes are not to take the generals to the front, God forbid, but to scoot them back and forth to meetings here in the states and, who knows, maybe even to top policy golf outings.

The Pentagon will lease six Gulfstream V executive jets so the big shots can fly high. It costs us $50 million a year to lease these six planes. Plus, Congress bought a 737 jetliner just for the Marine Corps commander. That cost $63 million to buy it, though flying the thing is extra.

Meanwhile, the Republican Senate leader, Trent Lott of Mississippi, demanded and got $375 million put into the budget to develop an aircraft carrier that the military doesn’t want. Could Lott’s insistence on this project have anything to do with the fact that it would be built at the Ingalls Shipyard in Mississippi, a corporation that is a contributor to Lott’s political campaigns?

Referring to Lott’s demand that these tax dollars go to this unwanted project, a ranking member of the appropriations committee said: ‘We try to take care of leadership wherever we can.”

Since when is pork-barrel politics “leadership,” and when will they ever try to “take care of’ us rank-and-file taxpayers?

Michael Betzold’s recent article on the demise of Tiger Stadium and the associated greed which factored into the ultimate decision was a masterpiece (“Stadium sellers: Beware the Curse of the Corner,” Oct. 3). It was a most poignant and introspective article which only a true journalist could write. During the weeks preceding the final game, it was clear that the money-grubbers were after every last cent.

I agree with your observation that the main reason Tiger Stadium is gone is because too many people stifled their desire to shout “no.” However, this is the price we are paying since we are hostage to a media totally controlled by the power brokers. I haven’t touched a scab paper for over four years, but I know that articles such as the one you wrote won’t appear in either rag. The television news programs are simply

shameful idiot entertainment with no substantive analysis on any topic. Our media-controlled society has effectively put the power brokers in control.

Call it what it is

Michael Betzold is right on target in his commentary (“Stadium sellers: Beware the Curse of the Corner,” Oct. 3). It is fitting, in a certain sense, that the new “facility” (I thought it was a stadium) is named Comerica Park because it’s all about money.

Granted, projects need money to be developed. But that same donor, Comerica, could have had the sense/consideration/willingness to identify with the rest of us and call it Detroit Tiger Stadium. That’s what it is!

Corporate welfare, indeed!

Blasphemy

I read the editorial “NYC mayor paints himself into a corner” (Oct. 10). What is extraordinary is that the editorialist would defend the Brooklyn Museum of Art for putting on the art exhibit that features a painting of the Virgin Mary with a clump of elephant dung stuck on it. It could be compared to having a picture of Billy Graham, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., President Clinton, the Holy Bible, the Holy Qur’an, the Star of David with a clump of elephant dung on it and call it art. It would not be art, it would be blasphemy, just as the picture displaying the Virgin Mary with elephant dung on it is blasphemy. It is highly offensive to me as a Catholic and a person. How would you feel if a picture of your mother, father, son, daughter, brother or sister were displayed that way and called art? I am angry that you minimize Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the stand he took. Maybe it’s because he’s of Italian descent and Catholic that you ridicule his position. Well, I’m of the Polish descent and Catholic and I stand with him on this. There are limits to what is called art. You and your paper defend the indefensible. You ask that we sign our name. The bigot that wrote the editorial didn’t sign his or her name.

eteran Detroit journalist and nonfiction writer Michael Betzold has produced his first novel, and the 179-page volume — about baseball; what else? — almost doesn’t make it to the plate.

Betzold’s narrator-changing format is, at first, confusing and annoying to those used to traditional fiction. But . give “Casey and the Bat” 30 pages. Patterns become clear and, like a good baseball game itself, the book falls into its own rhythm.

The protagonist here is Casey, a prodigious young woman who is clearly destined from the get-go to become the first female major leaguer. The backbone of the story traces her ascension toward the big leagues.

Along the way, though, a variety of voices play out sideshows to the main event. Spirits of old ball players, a washing-out journalist, a low-level female baseball executive and a onetime prodigy who hits rock bottom after beaning Casey are among those who have their sidebars.

Along the way comes some insightful and lyrical prose from Betzold, an award-winning journalist who is a Sunday Journal staffer, free-lance reporter and author of three nonfiction books. Here he has Casey’s father speak of his hopes for his daughter and his trust in her future:

“Before the beanball, I feared that something unforeseen, like a career or a more fashionable sport or a boyfriend or space aliens or religion, would interfere with our plans. Now I know nothing was going to stop her. For she was no longer trying to prove something to herself so she could prove something to me so I could prove something to the world about the universality of baseball so I could compensate for the failure of the egalitarian revolution that my hippie friends and I spent so much time trying to achieve in the 1960s. We didn’t replace the war machine with universal peace, so I had scaled down my ambitions to pinch-hitting Sally for Harry. But after the beaning, Casey was no longer the instrument I would use in the service of an abstract theory about the overwhelming democratic embrace of the great American game. Now the tables had turned, and I was her instrument to use in the service of her burning desire.”

The book is resplendent with fine, short passages like this that reflect Betzold’s maturity as a writer. And while “Casey and the Bat” is at once a feminist manifesto, a series of inside baseball jokes and a diatribe on the cataclysmic state of disrepair that major league baseball has allowed itself to fall into, it is, ultimately, a book of hope and dreams that hits its climax in the final game ever played at Tiger Stadium.

In the last page of the short denouement, true believers are reminded that baseball is not an analogy for life. Baseball is life. And both will go on without us.

/recently bought a wine I had never heard of, an Italian wine called Amarone from a winery named Ratti. Can you tell me something about it? — Geoffrey S., West Bloomfield

Amarone is a fascinating wine. Its origins date to Roman times when, in several writings, including essays and diaries of Pliny the Elder, it was noted that a special wine was made for people who were sugar-reactive, or diabetic, and could not tolerate sugar.

Amarone is a derivative of v/hat used to be a very popular sweet red wine called Reciotto. It is still made, but it is somewhat rare in the Detroit area.

Amarone can be made from two or three different red grapes, depending on the winery, the winemaker’s choice and the quality of the vintage. It comes from a region north and west of Venice, the same area where the famed Valpolicella wines are made.

The grapes are harvested in the fall when they’re ripe, just like all other wines. But unlike others, these are not pressed and fermented immediately. Instead Amarone grapes are placed in protected wire mesh-and-wood slat racks and allowed to begin to dry.

The juice inside each grape intensifies as evaporation slowly begins.

The sugar and flavors concentrate, the skin begins to shrivel and thicken. Several weeks into the process, the winemaker will decide when the grapes are ready to press.

Once the pressing is done and fermentation is under way, the deep, thick viscous sugars in the juice are slowly converted to alcohol. The winemaker can stop the process as the sugar is converting and make it into a sweet wine (Reciotto).

If the winemaker allows the process to continue until all the sugar is gone and has become alcohol, we get Amarone, a very dry, raisiny, almost prunelike wine, that is complex, extremely dense, thick and extraordinarily rich. Amarones are wonderful, but not everyone’s cup of, well, rosso.

Nor is Amarone cheap. You can find some at $16-$20 a bottle, but the vast majority of good ones sell for

$20 to $30, and some go as high as $50. The more popular producers and wineries maMng Amarone are Bertani, Ratti, Pio Cesare and Bolla. Personally, I’d drink Amarone over a lot of thick, deep cabernet sauvi-gnons that are on the market.

■ 1995 Conde de Valdemar Rioja ($10): A longtime favorite of mine, this light-bodied, balanced Rioja is quite minerally and has delicate notes of stone fruits, cherries and plums. It goes rather well with moderately spicy dishes, pizzas and pasta dishes with red sauces.

■ 1991 Marques de Caceres Reserva ($19): Riojas may be the best bargains in red wine around. They hold forever. Most will last 15-20 years and age slowly. This deep ruby wine shows ripe, dense, stone fruit flavors, cherries, plums and a tiny hint of apricot, vanilla flavors from oak aging and an elegant style.

■ 1996 Torres Coronas, Tempranillo ($9): Tempranillo plays the role in Spain that cabernet sauvignon plays in France, producing a heftier darker wine with a variety of aromas and flavors. This wine falls to the lighter side of the scale, imparting hints of strawberry and a slight leathery quality.

■ 1994 Gabbiano Chianti Classico Riserva ($18): Classic cherry notes and a slight smokiness that sometimes comes with sangiovese grape, a firm mouth-feel and pleasant, lingering finish.

■ 1997 Castello Banfi Centine: ($10): A blend of sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon and merlot made for the American market, but packed with rich, lush fruit and great balance make this one of the top bargains in Italian wines today. I have seen it at $8 in some stores, most recently at Merchant of Vino.

TVData Features Syndicate

The Teletubbies — Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Po and Laa-Laa — waddle across the screen, prompting a cataclysmic event in Jimmy’s world. At 17 months, Jimmy has never voluntarily sat. There’s too much to do, so he ignores the TV.

But something about those pear-shaped, fuzzy creatures mesmerizes him. Jimmy’s mother is overcome by two emotions: terror (he’s sucked in) and elation (30 tranquil minutes).

It’s that second emotion doctors warn about. Television is not a babysitter. Responding to studies which find that television leads to extremely precocious sexual knowledge, obesity, anti-social tendencies and temerity, the American Academy of Pediatrics recently issued a report urging parents to ban television for children younger than 2.

“Research on early brain development shows that babies and toddlers have a critical need for direct interactions with parents and other significant caregivers for healthy brain growth and the development of appropriate social, emotional and. cognitive skills,” the policy says.

Dr. Marjorie Hogan, chairwoman of the academy’s Committee on Public Education, says, “No pediatrician is going to proscribe or tell parents what they must do. The last thing we want to do is have parents feel they aren’t doing a good job.”

The Minneapolis mother of four, who has been a pediatrician for 20 years, adds that research has not been conducted on infants and toddlers. “However, we do know what children need,” Hogan says. “They need an opportunity to attach to their parents. They need a chance to be read to and physical activity and a chance to explore and assuage their curiosity and a chance to talk and play with their siblings.”

Hogan’s message to network executives: “Get on board, folks. Let’s think that you are a member of society and you have an obligation to provide educational and quality entertainment.”

Some executives say that’s precisely what they do.

Rich Ross, general manager and executive vice president for programming and production at the Disney Channel, says, “The findings seem to be very strident and very specific.

We create television we know will be watched by a broad range of ages. ... It is incumbent upon us today to reflect a modern kid’s world. Parents should be part of the process of what media is watched.”

Brown Johnson, senior vice president at Nick Jr., concurs. The academy’s advice is “unrealistic for parents today, although I think how much TV a child watches is a personal decision that only a parent can make,” Johnson says.

Excessive viewing is evident by the time children hit preschool, says Catherine Valenti, director of Angel Care Montessori School in Providence, R.I. After 11 years as a teacher of the very young, she can spot the mini couch potato.

“Children at this young age are trying to discover the world around them,” Valenti says. “Teletubbies or Barney does not fit into their world of what reality is.”

Maybe, but consider that since Teletubbies premiered 17 months ago, PBS has received 3,000 responses about the show, 71 percent positive and 29 percent negative. Viewer comments include: “My 1-year-old loves the program. He has been watching it since he was about 4 months old.”

“I know parents use it as a very easy baby-sitting tool,” Valenti says. “But they should probably find another way of entertaining their child, even though it means more work on their part, because I don’t see any benefit to it at all.”

The benefit becomes obvious when a parent tries entertaining a toddler while cooking dinner and listening to an older child simultaneously. Julie Clancy, a New Jersey mother of two boys, says, “I allow it for the entertainment value for the kids so I can do other things in the house, and I help my husband run his business and make business calls. I could not get this done without a paid baby-sit-

‘Valley’ girl

Country music legend Dolly Parton stars in “Blue Valley Songbird," based on her hit single of the same name about a woman who leaves her husband to pursue a singing career. Parton is also one of the executive producers of the movie, which co-stars another country Grammy Award winner — Billy Dean. It premieres Monday at 9 p.m. on Lifetime.

duced the boy to the purple dinosaur, a day she rues. She refuses to pay for cable, so the family receives only PBS and ABC, and her son, whom she homeschools, now watches a little.

“I don’t believe TV is an enemy, but there are so many other things,” Skomal says. “Life is full and there’s a richness to everybody, and you should be open to it. When Nathan’s older and if he chooses to watch TV 24 hours a day and become a soap opera junkie, those are his choices. But not when he’s living under this roof.”
