f' 1 V Erlc AIbl'9dltlDLspatci Richard Karst made a U.s. nag fmm lights Flag make tatement for all to ee By Mary Stephens Dispatch StajffRepor1er The advent of the United States' first. full-scale war in two decades has central Ohioans flying flags and post- ing signs to show how they feel. Richard Karst's neighbors on Oak Drive in Pataskala. can hardly miss his patriotism, it's displayed in lights on a 12-by-11-foot' frame. Karst fashioned a glowing-U.S. flag by stringing S300 worth of red, white and blue Christmas lights on a wooden frame. The flag went up as part of Karstfs Christmas display, but it will stay up until the war is over, he said. 'Tm more patriotic than I've ever been in my whole life, said Karst, 34, a bricklayer with his fami- ly's business. tfI've been watching the news pretty carefully, and the more I see this guy fSaddam Husseinj and what he's doing, the more I think we have to stop him .before he does more damage to other countries. Four Ohio State University stu- dents are making sure that no passers-by fail to get the point of their display, a 40-foot fabric flag that stretches the length of their 18th Street apartment building: They've added music. Patriotic music blasting from ste- reo speakers brought cheers from ' 1 : - f ' I .. . .. ......-1.,.,.,.,,.,,,..........,,,t..1.a..,... . ,, f ff I K f .. . -. -' ' ' 'It 'lla ' E , e ' ,Ziff it -.

I'm all for peace, but I think what Bush is doing is the right thing, Salwan said. I have a problem with those people who say, 'No blood for oil.' They're uneducated. They don't know what this war is really about. It's freedom for all peoples, not just Americans, said John Grasso, 19, a political science major from Cleveland. As with many war supporters, the roommates believe that anti-war protesters get more news coverage than their numbers merit. Protesters get publicity, but I've talked to a lot more people who support the war,'7 said Stephen Bit- tence, 20, of Cleveland. Some Columbus-area patriots have had their flags stolen, flags were taken from two homes on Medary Avenue, on the North Side, in the past week. New ones went up. A different war statement is on display on Clarkston Avenue on the East Side, where Tim Baumgardner, 22, has posted paper signs supporting U.S. troops in the Middle East but blasting the U.S. govemment. Support troops - not the pres- ident, reads one. Baumgardner believes that no conflict is worth a war, but he sup-- ports the troops because they don t have any choice about being there? His opposition to the war doesn't align him with organized anti-war protesters, however. They're not doing any good, he said. They,re using' violence to call for peace. One person who thinks central Ohio needs more flags on display is contractor Nicholas Savko, who spent last weekend urging stores along Henderson and Bethel roads to show the colors. Savko is angry that a flag isn't flying in front of every business. I'm very hurt about it, said Savko, a World War II veteran of Burma, India and China. I went through hell in the service. I know what those boys are going through. He especially took offense at one business that told him it flies the flag five days a week. y 'tOur boys are fighting seven days a week, Savko said.
