I first met "Andy" in my freshman year. We became good friends and shared a fair amount of time with each other. I became very fond of him after several months qf dinners, going to Mass each week and studying together. I finally asked Andy point- blank where our relationship was headed. He responded that relationships "evolve." Although I'm in no hurry to rush into anything, I wouldn't mind a little kiss from Andy now and then. He is very courteous and caring when we're together. He calls our get-togethers "appointments," and if he has to break one (which has happened only twice in two years) he is very apologetic. My question: In developing a serious relationship. how slow is too slow'! PERPLEXED SOME· WHERE IN FLORIDA DEAR PERPLEXED: THIS is too slow. Andy appears to be a master of the noncommittal understatement. He has a way with words, but they ' re not the words you want to hear. You are both young, and you clearly want more than Dear Abby ADVICE Andy wants to offer. I sug· gest you look elsewhere if you're looking for romance. DEAR ABBY: Excuse me? Did I detect the perception of a correlation between "uncool" and "being in the high school band" in recent letters in your column? I played baritone horn in school band and married my childhood s weethean, a tuba player, 22 years ago. We gave binh to a French hornplaying daughter and a trombone- playing son, both all-state band musicians. Our homegrown brass quartet plays together in churches, at festivals and in our local comm~nity band, and I arrange mustc for us. Can life even get any cooler than being able to share brass with your entire family? As they say (to paraphrase just a bit), "The family that PLAYS together, STAYS together!" My advice to your school,age readers is, don't bypass those band people! Our kind of "cool" holds up over time . -KAY IN BASS CLEF, MILFORD, DEL. DEAR KAY: It certainly does. Through music, your children have learned more than the value of teamwork - you live• together in beautiful harmony. What a gift! DEAR ABBY: I am a 75year-old married man. Recently a good friend of mine died. He is survived by his wife. Is it proper for me to call her on a regular basis to see how she is getting along? Would it be more correct to just call her once in a while? Please let me know. FRED IN FLORIDA DEAR FRED: You are a caring friend. It's fine to call her on a regular basis as long as you call her together with your wife. · You and your wife should also, as a couple, invite her out occasionally. Sometimes after a death, friends seem to pull back just when their friendship and support are most needed. I'm sure your friend's widow will appreciate being both remembered and included.

"We are just sitting targets," she said. Maurice Foster, a 20-yearold political science major at Alabama State University in Montgomery, said he didn't believe Bush made his case. "It seems like he's thinking about what's in the best interest of the United States," Foster said, ''but has failed to consider the-rest of the world, and I think he should have taken that into consideration.''

Cloudy Cloudy T- - Rain Flunlot SMw ty Commissioners visited in Columbus with officials from the Ohio Department of Health, Department of Job and Family Services and the Governor s Office of Appalachia last week to seek support for the county's application for federal funds for a critical access hospital, and to discuss issues with current levels of Medicaid reimbursement. Commissioners Jeff Thornton, Mick Davenport and Jim Sheets, Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe, Tourism Director Betsy Nicodemus, Chamber of Commerce President Gina Pines , and local Job and Family Services Director Mike Swisher spent Tuesday and Wednesday mee1ing With representatives of ·state agencies. Davenport said Monday much of the discussion on the lobbying trip related to the county's application for funds to open and operate a Fairly Qualified Community Health Clinic, to be filed next month. It is the county's second attempt to secure funding for the clinic and a critical access hospital, which would include an emergency room, at the county-owned Veterans Memorial Hospital building "I think it may have been our best lobb~ng trip ever," Davenport sa1d. "It is important that we remain in touch with those people who are involved in decision making so that they will remain aware of our needs." "We told those in Columbus how strong we feel our FQCHC application is, and we asked for their assistance in educating federal legislators about the need for such a facility in Meigs County," Davenport said. A similar application for community health clinic funding through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was rejected last year. Davenport said the Meigs County delegation ·also discussed the effects on small, rural hospitals of lower Medicaid reimbursement. Davenport said' . critical access hospitals such as that planned for Meig,s County qualify for a h1gher level of reimbursement through the federal Medicare program, but safd the higher reimbursement rate does not apply at the state Medicaid Ie.vel. "Atle.ast 50 percent of our county's residents are Medicaid eligible," Davenport said, "so it's very important to the success of any health care facility to receive the highesl level of reimbursement possible for those patients." lei ViS Allodal«t p,...

Free cancer screening Thursday at Senior Center Itt CHARLENE HoEfUCH News editor POMEROY - Since March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a local group of volunteers striving to make a difference through early detection and awareness will be distributin~ colorectal screening kits this week. Members of the Meigs County Cancer lnitiati ve (MCCI) will be at the Meigs Senior Center Thursday from 10 am to 2 p.m. giving out the kits as a part of the Center for Disease ConbUI's "Screen for Life" program. Carol Jean Adams, R;N.• JI!ld Diana Coates, director of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, co-chairs of MCCI, noted that the group is partnering with the Holzer Clinic of Gallipolis, the Meigs County Council on Aging, and the Meigs County Health Department to bring the screening event to the residents of Meigs Count}'. Once used, the free kits are to be returned to the Meigs County Health Department where they will be evaluated. Participants will then be advised of the results. The primary goal of MCCI. made up of community volunteers, is on encouraging people to take charge of their health. The coalition's slogan, "Finding Cancer Early Can Save Your Life," says it all, said Adams. According to her figures, between the years of 1996 to 1999, Meigs County reported 119 new cases of cancer and 288 deaths, giving Meigs County the highest cancer death rate in the state of Ohio. · It was those statistics that inspired health-conscious residents to form the community group, which focuses on local cancer control programs, including awareness, edUcation and early detection. The importance of screening for early detection was emphasized by Adams, who stated that colon cancer is the third most common cancer in Ohio for both men and women. She also said that colorectal cancer is tli.e second most common I cause of cancer-related deaths for both genders combined She advised that scieening should be started at age 50, that a history of polyps, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease increases the risk of colorectal cancer, as does family history of any cancer. She also . mentioned that Medicare covers the cost of colorectal screening 65 d exams for people age an older. Residents coming to pick up screening kits will also be given the opportunity to have their blood pressure checked. This will be done by the nursing stu~ dents of Margie Blake, an instructor at Meigs High School ·and fellow member of MCCI. Ohio Reserve backs up the backups CLEVELAND (AP) - · If the Ohio National Guatd is transferred from state to federal control, another reserve unit stands ready to take over the guard's state-support duties. "We're the backup for the backup,'' said Stacy Totten, 40. The Ohio Military Reserve - about 2,400 strong, Totten estimated identifies itself as military police. Its members have arrest powers, can be issued weapons and can use deadly force, she said. Typical uses of the.reserve might include assisting during natural disasters, protecting state property, riot control and convoy protection . .The reserve uses the same rank structure as the National Guard, Army Reserve and active-duty Army, and its members w~ the same uniforms. "But we are civilians/' she said. .Totten, of Medina County, is as a dog trainer and mother of two. Her other job is as a second lieutenant in the reserve's 5th Brigade, which covers northeast Ohio. Her husband, Mark, 47, an investment banker, joined along with her in October and carries the same rank. "We really felt that with the condition of the country, we wanted to contribute," she said.

The business rel<r cated to the Gallipolis area from Pomeroy. (Kevin Kelly) Kawasaki/Suzuki dealership opens doors in new location BY KEVIN KEUY News editor GALLIPOLIS Team Kawasaki/Suzuki has come to the tri-county area, and that's good news for local fans of the companies' line of motorcycles, utilty vehicles, all-terrain vehicles and jet skis. Kawasaki/Suzuki Motors ports Inc. had its grand opening Saturday at 4367 Ohio Route 160, Gallipolis, a mile north of Holzer Medical Center. Owner Larry McGraw said the store is a continuation of a business, Kawasaki Motorsports Inc., that had long opt!rated in Meigs County. Because there was little room for expansion at the business' former site in Pomeroy, McGraw and longtime store manager Coy Starcher decided the building on 160 that had served as their warehouse would be converted into a showroom and service center. Suzuki was brought on · board to complement the Kawasaki line, and Steve IJetz, who owned a Honda dealership in Gallipolis for 15 years, has joined the team to bring his expertise to the operation. · "Everyone jumps in where they need to be," McGraw said. "It's a real team." 'The business had its start in 1969 as J & R Sports Shop, owned by the late Jim Frecker. McGraw purchased the business in 1996, and the Gallipolis warehouse was built shortly afterward. The expansion was only natural given the area's interest in motorcycles and other Kawasaki/Suzuki 'products, said Starcher, who's been in the business for almost 30 years. "Even though it's only 25 miles from the original shop, the interest in street bikes and dirt bikes is tremendous in this area," he said. The new store has allowed for more product and offerings, McGraw said. "The scary part is, we've got more coming," he said. "What we thought was a good-sized building was filled fast." But McGraw and the team believe the product will move because Kawasaki and Suzuki each have features that fit fanciers' needs . "They really complement each other. What one doesn't have, the other does," he said. The business is open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. Friday, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Poor performance in latest bumper tests· WASHINGTON (AP) Luxury sedans from Lincoln, Infiniti, Acura and Cadillac fared poorly in 1he latest bumper crash tests by the insurance industry, sustaining more than $1 ,000 average damage when hit at 5 miles per hour. Two 2003 sport utility vehicles the Mitsubishi Outlander and the Volvo XC90 - also were rated "poor" in bumper crash tests, 1he Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said Tuesday. The 2003 Honda Element SUV was the only vehicle of the seven tested that rated "acceptable," sustaining average damage of $537 in the four tests performed. The insurance institute, which conducts regular tests of new or newly redesigned vehicles, was measuring how vehicles perform in low-speed settings, such a parking lot or heavy traffic. Testers crashed the front and rear of each vehicle straight-on into a flat barrier. They 'also hit the fronts and backs of each vehicle at an angle, simulating a crash into a pole. The vehicles are rated good, acceptable. marginal or poor, based on the cost of repairs. 'The large cars we tested might be luxurious in terms of their style and amenities, but their bumpers are anything but luxurious.

Independent-Mail, on Mister Rogers: Children's programming is more flash and sizzle than substance these days, with singing dinosaurs and Power Puff Girl s and mutated superheroes who blast and scorch and send chills of fear down the spine. But children also love Mister Rogers, alias Fred Rogers, who on each show invited children into a shabby and comfortable living room where they would be warm and cozy, slipped on a sweater and into sneakers and sang about a beautiful day in the neighborhood. From a living room set, he welcomed the mailman and puppets and people who would show how they did their jobs or how something was made, the host a comfortable and comforting mentor who actually taught children something. But it wasn't just the practicalities of learning in which Rogers specialized. Manners were important, and speaking softly instead of raising une 's voice, unless the voice is raised in laughter. He believed in simple pleasures and assumed that everyone was essentially good if given the chance to be good. Mister Rogers would by no stretch be called reality programming, that genre that has inexplicably become so popular these days. But oh, what a world it would be if he were. TODAY IN.

Facing collective deficits of $30 billion this year and $80 billion next year, members of the ,National Governors Association went to see their old colleague ex -Texa~ Gov. Bush hoping for help. They got none. Bush said he has a feder.U deficit to contend with, told the governors they're already scheduled to get a 9 percent increase in federal payments -- and spent most of his time trying to sell them on his $674 billion tax-cut plan. Some states, like New York in the 1970s, only have themselves to blame for their worst linancial crisis in SO years, having increased spending faster titan revenues during the booming 1990s. But that's not true for,states in general, according to the NGA. And, in refusing new federal aid beyond what's obligated by law, Bush is failing to help with mandates forced on the states by federal policy - some initiated by Bush himself. For the current fiscal year, for instance, Congress authorized $16 bi Ilion to carry out Bush's "No Child Left Behind" education reform policy. Bush requested funding of just $11.4 billion. Congress ultimately approved $11.7 billion, leaving the states more than $4 billion short. For fiscal 2004, Congress authorized $18.S billion, but Bush requested just $12.3 billion, leav- Morton Kondracke ing deficit-plagued states scrambling to find the money to fulfill demands for standards-raising and testing that Washington has imposed on them. The education shortfalls come just at a time when a new study by conservative education experts concludes that "there is little sign of gains in student learning" since publication of the landmark 1983 study "A Nation at Risk." Published by the Hoover Institution, the study finds that "test scores are at basically the same level today as in 1970. Students do no more homework than they did 20 years ago. .. . Graduation rates have actually declined .... And international 'assessment results reveal that American 17-yearolds know far Jess math and science than their peers in other modem nations." The authors emphatically believe that more education spending is not the answer they favor more parental choice and tough accountability - but buried in the study is the dramatic'fact that the average U.S. teacher makes only $36,500 a year, $14,000 less than the average college graduate.

Affirmative action: A d!fferent voice Throughout the pitched battles on attirmative action, AsianAmericans are hardly ever mentioned or heard hum. William Phung hopes 10 change this. A columnist to. the Washington Square News, New York University's student newspaper, he writes that "Asians make up !ewer than 4 percent of the total American population. so they clearly are a minority." But Asian-American students get no "plus factors" at the University of Michigan, whose policies are now before the Supretne Court, nor at other colleges practicing affinnative action. lndfled, atfmnative action, Phung says, actively discriminates against Asian-Americans. For example. he points out that. in 1999, the University of Michigan Law Schooi "OOmitted 2 percent of Asian applicants with average transcripts. That same admissions board almitted 81 rercent of similar black applicants." Asian-American applicants, he adds. suffer from the false stereotype that they are "inherently intelligent," and therefore, do not need preferential treatment. Moreover, the common belief is that "blacks and Hispanics" - unlike Asians "are more likely to come from disadvantaged backgrounds and (a) substandard education." Citing 200 I data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Phung notes ''that a staggering 88 percent of Asian student~ have at lea~t one immigrdllt paren~ compared to 65 percent for Hispanics." And many Asian-Americans "speak • Nat Hentoff English as a second language, and have to overcome significant culture gaps." Phung is the child of two Asian immigrdllt,. As many reporters who have covered labor unions can testify, large numbers of Asian-American children grow up in lamilies with immigrdllt parent' who are among the working poor. Conlrniy to the stereotype, their parents do not have well-paying positions at high-tech or other companies. More than 300 friend-of-thecourt briefs have been sent to the Supreme Court supporting the University of Michigan's preference policies. Among the 30 or so in opposition, there is one from the Asian American Legal Foundation in San Francisco that emphasizes that "there is ample rea,on to look askance at any program that classilies people by ethnicity to achieve some ' ideal' racial composition. There is no difference between a policy of adm itting some people because there are 'not enough' of their race and a policy of excluding others because there are 'too many' of theirs," as happens to Asian-American the policy needs to be applicants at some colleges. reworked to recognize the fact Favoring affim~ative action that not all Asians are rich - as pursued by the University geniuses." of Michigan and other colleges It might be better, he wrote, and universities - is Harvard to simply drop affirmative Law School professor Randall action.

Local Briefs Rummage sale planned EMS calls Plan meeting Gulf veteran executed for killing fellow soldier New center looks to put dent in tobacco usage BY ANDREW CARTER Assistant managing editor GALLIPOLIS - Holzer Medical Center's Tobacco Prevention Center is officially open for business. Grand opening ceremonies and an opert house were conducted Monday at the facili ty, located at 2881 Ohio Route 160. According to Cindy Liberatore, Tobacco Use Prevention coordinator, educating people about the potential dangers of tobacco abuse is the main objective of the programming offered at the center, which serves Gallia, Jackson and Meigs counties. "Even taking that a step further, we want to help people quit because more people don't smoke than do smoke," she said. "And a lot of people are interested in quitting. They don't enjoy smoking. They don't enjoy the health h37..ards that come along with it. Now we can give them resources and the clinics to help make that final step and quit for good." The center offers information about tobacco products, cessation programs for adults, teens and pregnant women, as well as tobacco prevention resources and programs for children and information about secondhand smoke. · Stacey Jenkins, LPN, is a clinical health consultant for the cen(er. She oversees programming aimed at helping pregnant women and mothers stop smoking. "A lot of the problem is that women tend to quit while they're pregnant, but then they go right back to smoking," she said. "''ll be working with them throughout their pregnancy and afterWfiTd, and also regarding environmental smoke. "I'm also trying to get the significant other involved and educating them on the dangers of secondhand smoke," she added. Jenkins said she hopes to organize support groups for pregnant women. Kristin Torres, Tqbacco Use Prevention coordinator. organizes programs aimed at young people. One of those programs is "Kick Butts Day,'' planned for April 2. "It's a day that we educate kids about not starting to smoke," she said. Torres said this year's "Kick Butts Day" program, to be conducted in Gallia and Jackson counties, centers around asking students to put together art projects dealmg with tobacco. "We want them to be creative and use whatever medium they Iike to express how they feel about tobacco," Torres added. "We're going to be having a gallery show at Rio Gnmde to showcase what these kids are doing." Funding for the center is provided through grant money from the Tobacco Use Prevention and Control Foundation and HMC. Tracey L. O'Dell, R.N., is the program project ,manager for the grant. She said a portion of the funding is provided through tobacco settlement money, awarded to 47 states following a lawsuit against major tobacco compantes. O'Dell said som~ of the money received from the settlement, however, is in danger of being used to help bail out the state in its current budget crunch. She said she hopes projects like HMC's Tobacco Prevention Center will convince lawmakers not to dip into tobacco settlement funding. Liberatore emphasized the center's stated cessation program efforts are not directed at area tobacco farmers, restating the facility's goal is to provide education about tobacco, not lobby against tobacco farmers. ·· 'That is not our intent, by any means," Liberatore said. "Our cessation efforts, our education efforts do not directly affect the farmers. The tobacco industry, whether they're buying American tobacco, that's what affects the tobacco farmers in our area. "I think that people are more and more open to education that we're putting out, to the dangers, because we are backed by statistics from the (American) Cancer Society, the surgeon general, all of our agencies, beart, lung. the Center for Disease Control, so we are backed in statistics," she said. "We are definitely not out to hurt (our farmers). We understand tobacco is a big crop in our county and the last things we want to do is hurt our farmers or their livelihood," Liberatore added. 0' Dell also manages a similar grant in Brown, Highland and Adams counties, the "tobacco capital" of Ohio and home to the only tobacco warehouse in the region. She saiJ efforts there have been met with support. even from tobacco growers. "A lot of the farmers saw a decline in the product a long time before programs like this started," she said. "They also will say that even though they farm it and it puts food on the table or kids through college, they still don't want their kids to use it." In addition to Liberatore, Jenkins and Torres, full-time staff members at the center include Todd Tucker, Tobacco Use Prevention coordinator, and Pam Lyons, administrative assistant. The center's supervisor is Rebecca Nelson, Tobacco Project coordinator for HMC. HMC's Tobacco Prevention Center is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For information, call 446-5940.

Bush f~m Page 1 tion and Iraqi hiformation Minister Mohammed Saeed aJ: Sahhaf said Saddam wouldn't leave. "He will stay in place like a solid rock," he told the AI-Jazeera TV network. In a prime-time speech, Bush likened the Iraq threat to those posed by perpetrators of genocide in the last century. "In this century, when evil men plot chemical, biological and nuclear terror, a policy of appeasement could bring destruction of a kind never before seen on this earth," he said. "Responding to such enemies only after they have struck first is not selfdefense, it is suicide," Bush said. "The security of the world requires disarming Saddam Hussein now." Having abandoned diplomacy at the stubbornly divided U.N. Security Council, Bush set about trying to win over an equally divided American public . A CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll found Americans just about evenly split on whether the United States should unleash military actio !I without a new U.N. vote. Forty-seven percent supported such an action and SO percent opposed it. Bush often says that Iraq seeks to help "al-Qaidatype" . groups, but Monday night he went a step further, saying Iraq has "aided, trained and harbored terrorists, including operatives of al Qaida." The president gave Saddam 48 hours, starting at 8 p.m. EST Monday, to leave his country or face "military conflict, · cemmenced at a time of our choosing." He warned weapons inspectors and journalists to leave Iraq immediately. Bush also cautioned Americans that war could result in domestic terror attacks, and the goveniment raised the terror alert status to its second-highest level, orange, after he spoke. "These attacks are not inevitable. They are, however, possible, and this very fact underscores the reason we cannot live under the threat of blackmail," Bush said. "The terrorist threat to America and the world will be diminished the moment that Saddam Hussein is disarmed." Bush spent Monday con ferring with world leaders, most of them alli es. He called British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Spanish Prime Mini ster Jose Maria Aznar, King Juan Carlos of Spain and Bulgarian Prime Mini ster Simeon Saxcoburggot ski . Later in the ~fternoon, Bush spoke on the phone with Australian Prime Mini ster John Howard and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. He also spoke to President Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal. . With anti -war protesters chanting just out side the gates, Bush briefed about a dozen congressional leaders before his speech . Vice President Dick Cheney continued the briefing after the · president left to prepare for his remarks . . There was no talk of how much the war will cost . but White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said · Cheney promised an appropriations request would be sent to Capitol Hill as soon' . as final costs were eslimated. Sen. Joe Biden of . Delaware, top Democrat on . the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said · he figured the price tag was "$100 billion and ·climbing." The White House is expected to ask Congress for up to $90 billion to pay · for a war with Iraq and other expenses within days of the start of combat, congressional and administration officials said. The bill would also include aid for Israel, a key U.S. ally in the region, and funds for antiterrorism efforts at home, said the officials, who. spoke on condition of anonymity. Two officials. said President Bush could send the measure to Capitol Hill as early as Friday. There were some signs of the traditional backing that the president enjoys from lawmakers, even tho se of the opposing pan y, during wartime. " I .,viii support whatever appropriations are necessary for the safety of our troops who have been sent into harm's way. even though I do not agree with . the policy of pre-emption that 1s sending them to Iraq without the support or endorsement of the United Nations," said Sen: Robert Byrd, D-W.Va. , top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee.

CAP) - Indians rookie Brandon Phillips isn't lacking for confidence: He wrote "The Franchise" on a pair of his workout shoes earlier this spnng. Nervy kid, huh? He also came to Cleveland 's training camp fully expecting to win a starting job. On Monday. he got one. Indians manager Eric Wedge named Phillips his everyday second baseman, choosing the 21-year-old over John McDonald, who started 56 games at second last season and expected to be there on opening day. "Brandon had an ou !standing spring," Wedge said. "There were certain things that we needed to see from him and we needed to feel comfortable with. We're comfortable with them. Johnny Mac has had a good spring as well, but we feel like Brandon Phillips has earned that job." McDonald will be the Indians' utility infielder - the same role he had last season. During the winter, Wedge said second base was "Johnny Mac's job to Jose". It's not so much that the 28year-old McDonald, who is batting .409 this spring, lost his spot. It's that Phillips and the Indians weren't going to benefit by having him go back to the minors. The kid's ready. Phillips, a converted shortstop, was overjoyed when Wedge told him he had made the 25-man roster - and had beaten out McDonald as the starter. "I just had a big 'ol smile on my face," Phillips said, flashing another. "I took a deep breath and was like, 'Wow'. I really worked hard for it. It's lovely, man." Phillips. acquired last season in a trade from Montreal, said he called his parents after getting the news. His mom, Lue AUTOMOTIVE Phillips. couldn't contain herselL "She was just yelling into the phone," he said. "It was real nice." · Obviously, McDonald would prefer to start. Bu1 he understands the Indians' decision, and having played behind Gold Gluvers Omar Vizquel and Roberto Alomar, McDonald has a keen eye for infield talent. Phillips. he said, has plenty. "He has a lot of potential as a player." said McDonald. "You see that just from working out with him. He wants to learn and get better. He asks a lot of questions, which is "oood". Not long ago, McDonald was . the one aski ng Vizquel and Alomar for advice. Now it's his tum to mentor Phillips. the Indians' budding star. "I don't want to call him young because I don't feel old," McDonald said. "But he's new. I've been arnund Robbie and Omar the last couple years and I think I can pass on some of the knowledge I've learned." Wedge said Phillips' willingness to listen and learn were important factors in his quick ri se. Phillips played in the Arizona Fall League, where he worked on his pivot at second and patience at the plate. Wedge noticed a major improvement in both areas. "He really did step up in all areas," Wedge said. After going 2-for-3 with a double in a 9-4 loss Monday to the Boston Red Sox, Phillips is batting .333 (13-for-39) with one homer, six RB!s and three steals this spring. Not eye-popping numbers. But Phillips seems to hit the ball with authority every time up. He may not field as well as McDonald, but he carries a much bigger stick. And, anyway, it was only a matter of time before Phillips replaced McDonald.

You said, "Because catching a bouquet or garter is no guarantee the person will be the next to marry (it's 'up for grabs'), I see no reason why any guest should be excluded." Well, I disagree! I perform disc jockey and video services for weddings. I have seen little girls and boys with bloody noses, skinned knees and elbows, etc. Would you send an 8-year-old to play football at your local college? For liability reasons, I specifically note in my contract that tf the bride insists on including guests under 16, I am not liable for injuries. Insurance companies don't like to cover stupidity. Please rethink this one, Abby! - BRENT YACIW, WESLEY CHAPEL, FLA. DEAR BRENT: . Your point is · well taken . I received a ton of terrific mail on tossing wedding bouquets and garters, and will share as much of it as possible: DEAR ABBY:.The custom is tacky and sbould be eliminated. It's embarrassing to singles who are dragged onto I Dear Abby ADVICE the floor by well"meaning friends and family. It's almost as bad as watching the new couple smash cake in each other s face.- J.H., MELROSE, N~Y. DEAR ABBY: When I married, I had a candy toss for anyone 12 or under. It worked wonderfully. The kids had fun and were part of the festivities. JEN· NIFER IN FREMONT, OHIO DEAR ABBY: For guests 16 and under, we tossed a teddy bear dressed like a bride, and did the same for the boys with a groom bear. • BECKY IN HURST, TEXAS DEAR ABBY: I am a florist. Many brides order a small bouquet to toss to the little girls, and they either toss their own bouquet or an · extra (large) one to the big girls. -RON D., BELLEVILLE, ILL. DEAR ABBY: The custom is, whoever catches the garter must put it high on the leg of the woman who catches the bouquet At one wedding I attended, a 9-year-old boy caught the garter and then sat at the feet of the lady who caught the bouquet and sobbed for 10 minutes because he was so humiliated. Children should not be subjected to this. KATHY Illf FORT LEE, N.J. DEAR ABBY: As the mother of two little girls, I do not want anyone touching their legs. As a wedding DJ, here's how I handle the garter toss: I have the little girl sit in a chair with her arms out and her hands in a prayer position. I then give the male the garter and he has three chances to toss it over tier hands. No one is touched, and it's perfectly innocent The kids love it. Remember, kids are just adults in training. - LORI LEE, A DJ IN HORSEHEADS, N.Y. DEAR ABBY: I have been a caterer for more than 20 years. A classy alternative is this one: The bridal couple asks all married guests to stand. Then, in multiples of five or 10 years, they are asked to stt down when U.S. confident In Iraq conflict. A& Tuesday, March 18, 2003 asked the' length of their marriage. The couple married the longest is · awarded the bouquet and garter to the applause of everyone . •• MIKE F., ANKENY, IOWA DEAR READERS: I learn so much from you.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - If financial developments have presently been running in your favor, now is the time to lry to do something constructive.

Now is the time lo capitalize on those exchanges you held off on hoping they would multiply. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - A situation may arise today wljere you find yourself up against someone who usu- ally ends up outshining his or her competitors. This lime you may have the edge. CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Conditions in general finally look good for you. so don't do anything today to rock the boat. Flow with events as they unfold instead of doinll anything that would alter lhe&r course. LEO (July 23-A~g. 22) Although some people with whom you may be dealing today might lack direction and purpose, you won't let that hamper you. You know what you want and. more impor· tantly, you know how lo get it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Something profitable could spring loose for you today, but it won't be from out of the blue. It will come from hard work and preparation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23) - You possess a marvelous faculty today for taking the ideas or others and reconstructing them into something extremely promising for yourself. This could occur in two instances . .SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - There is a good chance you could be drawn into a situation today that has strong competitive elements involved.
