The scene is familiar to millions of television viewers - Pat Sajak calling names and cracking jokes by a spinning wheel. But yesterday, Sajak, who has hosted Wheel of Fortune for a quarter of a century, found himself not in a Hollywood studio but a county government building in Glen Burnie. And his assistant was not the beaming Vanna White, but someone a bit more businesslike: Anne Arundel County Sheriff Ron Bateman. Sajak, who has a home in Severna Park, and the sheriff taped an episode of Anne Arundel County's Most Wanted, which airs on local public access cable.

If you hit it off with Mark Kresel - and chances are you will - he'll eventually want to know one thing: "Can I give you a birdhouse?" He'll ask in a voice husky with sincerity: "Can I?" The 58-year-old textile salesman has bestowed his handmade creations on the woman who sold him his daily Dunkin' Donut, his barber, his doctor and dozens of clients in exotic locations throughout Russia, South America, Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

Pat Sajak strides into the Annapolis radio station that he owns, slips on a pair of radio headphones and begins taping a two-minute commentary on the subject "Life is a risky business." His script, on everyday risks, was inspired by a friend scolding him for eating a hamburger and french fries. "You weigh the risks against the rewards, the drawbacks against the pleasures, and the yogurt against the ice cream," he says in a clear, ebullient voice as the tape rolls. In the best of modern worlds, he adds, knowing that eating a candy bar would take precisely 12 seconds off your life would come in handy: "Then you could make an intelligent decision."

THERE WERE GOWNS GALORE at the Gala for the Anne Arundel Medical Center Foundation. The get-together at Baltimore's Marriott Waterfront Hotel was formal fun at its best. Scarcely an ankle was in sight at the pre-party VIP soiree. Almost every woman there wore a floor-length dress. However, the gown most talked about was that of foundation vice president Lesly Sajak. Two days before, her gala attire had received national attention. When Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak filled in for Regis Philbin on the Live with Regis and Kelly TV show, he asked the audience to choose which frock his wife should wear, and had her model one in white and another in black.

For nearly a quarter-century, he's been there for people facing the highest-stakes puzzles of their lives. Why shouldn't Pat Sajak help us crack workaday riddles, too? You know, those nagging questions that come up all the time but somehow elude answers. Like, why do some people give their kids such goofy names? Why are moviegoers so noisy and rude? Or why - and I'm just throwing this one out there - would anyone want a ceramic Dalmatian? Sajak plumbs mini-mysteries of daily life in two-minute commentaries, called "I've Been Thinking ... " on WNAV in Annapolis and WTTR in Westminster.
