H4 ENTERTAINMENT THE DISPATCH AND THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 26. 1999 I i ('Ay 5 fe licity" and the much-anticipated "Buffy" spinoff, Will they ever see the light of day in the Quad-Cities? They might, if openings appear in the KLJB schedule and the station is able to hammer out the deals, Bain said. "We are first and foremost a Fox affiliate, and between Fox programming and our syndicated product, there's not a lot of room in our schedule," Bain said. "So we could go without the WB or do something that will bring us some of the shows at this time," Bain said.

"At this current time, we're unable to get any shows other than the ones we've got, but we hope to expand our schedule in the future." They're off to a good start. Sean Leary is entertainment editor.

In addition, KLJB is showing the ultra-popular WB cartoon "Poke-mon" at 7:30 a.m. Mondays through Fridays. For now, those programs are in reruns, but as their 1999-2000 seasons begin, the new shows will air in sequence, on time. There won't be any delays, other than those caused by the fact that the shows will run during prime time (and in the case of "7th" and on days earlier in the week) in the rest of the country. Fans of those shows this columnist included are very happy about that, especially considering the alternative was going completely without the WB.

KLJB brass is certainly aware of area fans' feelings. For the local pickups were pretty much a no-brainer a win-win situation. The time slots were opening up because of the cancellation of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" and the extra daily rerun of "Ricki Lake" (that show still runs daily at 11 a.m.), so KLJB would've needed programming anyway. Now, instead of some syndicated crap, it will pick up already popular, high-quality shows that draw the station's target audience. And by saving those shows, KLJB also scores some big public-relations points with fans of the WB most of whom are also fans of Fox.

"We look at it as enhancing our schedule," said John Bain, KLJB program manager. "The networks have similar audiences, and a lot of these shows reach a wide demographic. "One of our sister stations, WNYO in Buffalo, N.Y., is a WB affiliate, so we have ties to the WB. This was available, and we've worked with the WB in the past through that station, so the partnership made sense." But what about the other WB shows including buzz-baby "Fe Monday, Sept. 27lh Chicago's Polka General October Glue-A-Way Register To Win The Mark of the Quad Cities will be a hot spot Oct.

"People keep asking for it," he says. The exhibit of about 50 photographs captures the vital signs of interdependence and coexistence, adaptation and evolution through the varied spectrum of wildlife.

Mr. Mangelsen has a number of galleries four in California (La Jolla, Palo Alto, Palm Desert and Los Gatos), two in Utah (Pork City and Deer Valley), two in Colorado www K. :00 pm Except Holidays Friday Saturday 5:00 pm 10 Have a Gambling Problem? 1-800-BETS OFF i 1 I I I i K. 1 mm Tve been in India doing tigers.

She must have decided later that she was no longer the bear's lunch, because she sold it back.

It's now worth $10,000. "Vital Signs: Images of Biodiversity" was curated by Charles Craighead, a Wyoming writer, photographer and cinematographer who has written the text for Mr. Mangelsen's book, "Images of Nature," and scripted his PBS film, "Cranes of the Grey Wind." He also wrote the children's book "The Eagle and the River," using Mr. Mangelsen's photographs of wildlife in winter. The exhibit includes photographs of brown bears and gulls feasting on salmon in Alaska; the red colobus monkey, a seriously endangered animal on the island of Zanzibar; and the white ibis on Sanibel Island.

Mr. Mangelsen has watched the effects of changing habitats on wildlife in many parts of the world, and he says if he could do one thing to preserve our natural world, it would be to take people to the places he has been and let them see what we are in danger of losing. This exhibit is his way of doing that. "Vital Signs" will be on view at the Putnam Museum through Dec. 31.

WILDLIFE FROM PAGE HI "I've been in bear and moose country, and crossing rivers and canoeing involves some danger." Nobody is sitting at home biting their fingernails about his safety, however. He's a bachelor and lives in Moose, with a yellow lab named Loup. Mangelsen packs a lot of equipment on his expeditions, and he usually takes a friend or an assistant with him. "I shoot different formats 35 mm, 645 medium format and panoramic 617 system and sometimes I take the cine camera gear," he says. "It adds up to 12 to 20 cartons weighing an average of 60 pounds each." He can be gone anywhere from a few days to six weeks.

He had just returned from an expedition to Glacier Park when we spoke. "I was in Alaska last summer and fall, and I've been in India doing tigers. I photographed them from the back of an elephant. Tigers are really endangered by population pressure. Their parks are oases pressed by teeming humanity, and poachers are a big threat because of the demands of Asian medicine." Mr.

Mangelsen's "Vital Signs" exhibit has been traveling since 1996, (Vail and the Denver airport), one in Jackson Hole, one in Galena, 111., and one in Omaha. His picture libraries sell stock to advertisers and publishers of books and magazines. They also sell calendars, notecards, address books and books.
