Paramedics
Continued from Page 3
Part of being an emergency care
team member is dealing with body
fluids and solids, but the para
medics keep it all in good humor.
“My first night as a medic-1 we
got a drunk call,” Metzer said.
“This guy had a computer paper
box in front of him just filled to the
brim, and the vomit had begun to
eat away the sides of the box.
“This guy was 250 pounds and
couldn’t walk, just completely
worthless, and we had to carry him
out. When I got to the hospital, I
just stank. It gets so that you know
what you’ve got to do and what
procedures you have to perform,
and you don’t notice the mess un
til the patient is in the hospital.”
Usually the care team handles
three to five calls a night, but with
emergency care the only rule is to
expect the unexpected.
“There is no usual night,” De-
Camp said. “There are times I go
down to where I volunteer in Hous
ton, some of the busiest 911 areas,
and not get a single call. But then
there’s times I’m down here and get
seven calls in a night.
“ You have to be ready to do all you
were trained to do because you nev
er know what’s going to happen.”
The rewards of the job far out
weigh the disadvantages in the
minds of the emergency care team.
“The best thing about being an
in-charge paramedic is going out
and taking care of somebody who a
lot of times is in a very serious situ
ation,” DeCamp said. “You know
you’re in charge of that situation
and you helped them out of it.”
Life on a paramedic team is one of
long hours spent waiting on a call.
Their motto and purpose is to
save lives, and life for them is a series
of long periods of camaraderie punc
tuated by brief moments of saving
lives and getting the job done.

Wanted
Continued from Page 3
Something goes terribly
wrong and the first lady is killed
instead of the industrialist.
Before you can say Hillary,
every law enforcement agency
on Earth is after Dunn as he be
comes the scapegoat for the real
assassins.
Dunn has to gather the evi
dence to prove his innocence,
while the bad guys, good guys
and a public, eager to collect a
$10 million bounty on his head,
chase after him.
Dunn might have some allies in
Dr. Victoria Constantini (Jill Hen-
nessy), CIA Deputy Director Ken
Rackmill (Paul Sorvino) and CIA
Assistant Director Spencer (Eric
Roberts), but he cannot be sure.
Most Wanted is not sure of
what it wants to be. It borrows
pieces from every conspiracy
thriller released over the last year.
The plot starts with the first
lady being killed, this might be a
Republican kind of film, and ends
up with germ warfare, corrupt
governments and evil billionaires.
When the film tries to tie all
these strings together, it ends up
making about as much sense as
letting Michael Jackson chaper
one a Cub Scout camping trip.
It would have been better off
not trying to cover all the con
spiratorial bases.
Wayans, who is usually a fun
ny person, plays Dunn so
straight-faced he is hardly rec
ognizable.
The only times worth watch
ing Dunn is when some of the
trademark Wayans wit shows it
self, which is rarely.
It is as ifWayans learned ac
tion film acting from Steven
Seagal when the pair made The
Glimmer Man.

Tavern
Continued from Page 3
The food ranges from classic
fare, such as filet mignon, to the
exotic, like the Wild Game Sampler
which includes wild boar, venison
and pheasant. Sandwiches, burg
ers and salads are offered all with
unique flare.
White said all the meat used is
of the highest standard, which the
customers appreciate.
“All our meat from beef to poul
try is free range,” White said. “It re
sults in meat being healthier and
better tasting.”
Despite the high demand for beef
and poultry among the patrons of
The Tavern, White said a seafood
dish, the Snapper Ponchetrain, is
currently the most popular plate at
the restaurant.
Kathy Schoonover, a customer of
The Tavern, has visited the restaurant
five times since it has opened and
appreciates the time and effort the
owners have put in to it.
“It is a very nice place to come
after work and unwind,”
Schoonover said. “The food and
ambiance are excellent.”
