(AP) Home's charm is in the details BRUCE A. NATHAN Associated Press Details, including arched windows with keystones, gingerbread trim and a wraparound porch, give charm to this home, Plan K-62, by the Homestore Plans and Publications Designers Network. Its tloor plan provides 2,315 square feet of living space. This home is primed for entertaining, as evidenced by the open arrangement of the great room, kitchen and break- fast room, where casual meals and buffets can be had upon the wide, angled snack bar. The great room is an inviting gathering spot due, in part, to its central fireplace and built-in shelves. A bayed window seat in the secluded living room is a bright little hideaway, and another bayed-out window seat is found in the master bedroom. The latter retreat has a private bath with a garden tub and a dual-sink vanity. 1\vo secondary bedrooms have walk-in closets and share a full bath. The blueprints for this home include plans for an optional two-car garage with an altemati ve location.

Tall windows and a fireplace help to make the great room, this home's center of activity, bright and cheery. (AP) As thanks for "greening" up your house and freshen ing the air all winter, consider taking your houseplants into the shower not all your houseplants, though. Cacti and succulents prefer to stay dry in winter and some other plants may be too big to conveniently move into and out of the bathroom. But plants like gardenia and staghorn fern would love an occasional shower. You might wonder why a houseplant, which never sweats or trudges through mud. would like a shower. But think about all that dust you sweep off your furniture and tloors. Dust also settles on your houseplants' leaves. Leaves are riddled with microscopic pores that open and close to allow exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The pores also release water vapor, in so doing cooling the · leaves and drawing up more water and nutrients - from the roots. Dust-clogged pores make a plant unhappy. · A periodic shower cleans them out those pores. And healthy pores are especially important this time of year, because hou seplants are stirring to life now that days are getting longer. A good shower also is a nontoxic way to thwart insect pests, also just now stirring to life . Mealybugs, scale insects, mites, aphids, and whiteflies are all waiting to attack. The force of the water knocks many ·adults and eggs of these pests off the plants. Mites prefer dry, dusty conditions, so those not dislodged by the stream of water pack up their bags and leave anyway. Take certain precautions when showering with a plant, because di sease-causing fungi and bacteria rush on the scene when the air is humid and the soil is sodden. First, make sure that the soil does, indeed, need the watering that it's going to get in the shower. And second, make _sure that the leaves do not stay wet too long. Even if fungi and bacteria do not rush on the scene, water sitting on the leaves of some plants, such as· African violets, can leave permanent splotches. You don 't go to bed with wet hair, do you? So pick a sunny morning on which to shower with houseplants - one at a time, please. A little soap, incidentally, won't hurt the plants but will kill some insects, or, at least, slide them off leaves and stems. Besides getting clean and somewhat pest-free , the plants really ~eem to enjoy the shower. You can almost sense their delight as drops of water dance on their leaves. in Shelton, Wash., says heath and heather blooms are sparsest in late October to midNovember, and again in June, If the heaths and heathers "but if you're clever and you are blooming, it might as well be spring.

They range in size from small mounds to shrubs about three feet tall, and flower hues extend from white through shades of pink to deep purple. Erica, or heath, is found around the world, and there are more than 800 different varieties, the vast majority native to South Africa. Perhaps the best-known heath is Erica carnea, commonly known as winter heath, which tolerates cold weather, usually blooms in spring, and which Lortz calls "the flashiest of all" because of its brightly colored flowers.

ALWAYS THE LOW PRICE LEADERI BRIAN J. REED MIDDLEPORT - The Board of Trustees of Rio Grande Community College has authorized new degree programs at the Rio Meigs Center, and will likely accept an offer for a new Middleport facility. Meenng Wednesday, the board authorized Rio Grande Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Greg Sojka to proceed with plans to ad<. ·'O new degree program'. and.twl ~Itificate progmms to the co~ >e offerings at the Middleport ·enter, and to consider additiont. course offerings. A master's degree in education program began at the center earlier this year, with approximately 20 school teachers and others forming a cohort group, Sojka said. The center will also begin offering an associate's degree in early childhood education. The latter is expected to enroll at least 20 additional students when it begins, Sojka said. One-year certificate programs . in pharmacy technology and medical records transcriptionist will also be offered at the center later this year. Plans also call for an associate's degree prugmm in paraprofessional education, a program for teacher aides, Sojka said, to be offered with cooperation from the Athens/Meigs Educational Service Center. Sojka said 40 teacher aides in Vinton County are currently elll,Uiled in a similar program, and Athens/Meigs ESC Superintendent John Costanzo will work in cooperation with the Meigs Center to direct students to the program. Other programs under consideration for the Middleport branch are an associate's degree program for medical office assistants. as well as introductory computer classes. a 160-hour non-degree program for emergency medical personnel and professional development courses to be custom designed for local business and industry. Those courses would be nondegree programs, Sojka said. "We're also going to look at integrating our teleconferencing program which would expand opportunities for students at the Meigs Center, by allowing them access to instruction from the Rio Grande campus," Sojka said. "We tried that a few ye-di'S ago, but now we have a better handle on the technology." Sojka said the center will begin offering the Rio Early Awareness Pro~r.am this summer. The REAP is an introductory and remedial program for returning non-traditional students. "REAP is a good opportunity for new students to get their feet wet before beginning a semester of classes," Sojka said. "It would allow students at the Meigs Center who plan to begin early childhood education or other programs to brush up their skills and acclimate to the college environment." The class and materials are free for the REAP class, Sojka said. LuAnn Bowman, vice president for financial and administrative affairs for Rio Grande Community College, said Friday plans for facility expansion are "very likely to materialize," and said the board will work with the Meigs County Community Improvement Corporation to identify facility needs. The CIC has offered to construct a new facility to Rio Grande's specifications, if the college agrees to lease the facility at cost and to continue course expansions in Middleport. 'The space we have now obviously doesn't give us much growing room or flexibility, and we need to make sure we don 't box ourselves into a space we're going to outgrow in a matter of years." "With these new programs in the works, it's obvtous that the Meigs Center is going to grow," Bowman said. According to Sojka, enrollment at the center could double to over I 00 students when new programs are implemented. "We envision the Meigs Center as a total community education center, a multi-purpose facility for students seeking a degree, and for those who simply wish to attend a class or two for their own satisfaction," · Sojka said.

Juotln D, Deem, 4th irade Tom Lowery sits behind his desk at CPU. He is the office manager. (J. Miles Layton) Lowery likes hometown atmosphere J. MILES Staff writer BY LAYTON POMEROY - One man is a study in thought and diversity. Renaissance man Tom Lowery is the office manager at CPU, which is a business well acquainted with computers. Lowery is not a computer geek though. He has a degree in business and finance from Capital University. When asked why he was an office manager at the downtown computer shop instead of a money manager on Wall Street, his reply was simple. "I managed a finance office for a few years and got tired of the rat race," Lowe1y said. A resident of Syracuse, the thing Lowery likes best about Meigs County is the small hometown atmosphere which is filled with friendly people. A graduate of Meigs Local High School, Lowery has served this community in various capacities including coach and youth minister. He has coached baseball and basketball. His closest game was a very close baseball game with a score of I to 0. Lowery said working with young people is one of his greatest accoinplishments. "My greatest accomplishment, other than finding a great wife Deborah Ann, is my experiences working with youth," he said. The war is on everybody's mind and Lowery is no different. He is supportive of the troops, but is apprehensive about how the conflict will play out on the world stage. ''I'm uneasy about it," he said. "''m not sure what it is going to lead to. I am womed about the reaction of the world. I don't know who made us judge and jury of the world." The most exotic place Lowery has been to is Colomdo. He said he loved the beauty of the landscape but added with a smile that he has also been to Buffington Island. Lowery thinks there is life on other planets. He said there is probably another planet in the universe where people are doing things right. Lowery said his current planet sometimes finds it difficult to do the right thing and is pretty messed up sometimes. Jokingly he said that this was the reason space aliens only come to visit, never to stay. Lowery's favorite book is Brian's Song. His favorite movie is Silence of the Lambs, which is a critically acclaimed movie about a cannibal, a serial killer and an FBI agent. His favorite color is green because green is "'all around outside in nature." Space aliens, the war in Iraq and a dog named Mali are what make this man a timeless figure in a "~ mall town along the banks of the Ohio River.

Uncivil? · Congressional leaders should cool it on name-calling • Dayton (Ohio) Daily News, on politicians and war: With ce rtain exceptions - such as street demonstrations and talk radio - the American debate about the war has been reasonably civil. The politicians have been restrained. Now Republican hit man, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. of Texas. wants to change the tone. In search of a Democrat to bash, he recently settled on presidential candidate Howard Dean, former governor of Vermont . The candidate insists that many options short of war remain. And he insists that Saddam Hussein is a lesser danger by far than North Korea and al-Qaida. ·Rep. DeLay calls this posture "appeasement." That term is being heard more and more about opponents of the war. It makes no sense. "Appeasement" entered the political lexicon in the days before World War II, when some people wanted to (and did) accede to Adolph Hitler's demands for new territory, in the hope that that would mollify Hitler. But Saddam . isn' t demanding anything. Appeasement is simply an irrelevant and hyperbolic concept. At any rate, until the leading doves start calling President Bush bloodthirsty or a warmonger, the hawks ougnt to refrain from their own name-calling. Let there be no race to the bottom of political oratory. TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, March 24, the 83rd day of 2003 . There are 282 days left in the year.

Anna Shuler Annoyed, annoyed by anti-war rhetoric In the tense hours before military action, as the countdown clock was ticking, eyes turned to the Persian Gulf and all the world held its breath. Too bad some people kept <On talking. There was Sen. Tom Daschle, standing by this week 's "saddened , saddened" soliloquy in which he declared President Bush had "failed so miserably at diplomacy that we're now forced to war." And to think, he might as well have added, after all that Iraq and France have done for us. This "saddened, saddened': speech, by the way. is not to be confused with last fall's "outrageous, outrageous" address in which Mr. Daschle accused President Bush of politicizing the debate over Iraq. (Which, of course, was ~ give it a whispery sibilance - "outrageous, outra~ geous.") By now, it seems, the senate minority leader has passed the point of out- · rage, outrage. And he is additionally, but singly, "saddened," as he said, that "we . have to give up one life because this president could.n't create the kind of diplomatic effort that was so critical for our couptry." What hateful, shameful words. Mr. Daschle articulated neither strategic disagreement, nor respectable politi.cal dissent; instead, he baselessly · accused an American president of compromising the lives of American military inen and women on what was the very brink of battle. Mr. Daschle also made no "That's how we got into this political mess." Right. Too bad we didn't follow Mr. Clinton's strategy and see Saddam halt weapons inspections as he Diana did in 1998.

Federal Reserve, oil companies, the Pacific Exchange and the Transamerica Building." The plan , organizers said, is to "shut down the financial district of San Francisco." This couldn't please America 's e·nemie s more. And why? Many anti-war groups are funded by foes of the U.S. government. Not in Our Narne is financed by a group that not only supports Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, but, as Fox News also reported, once sponsored a group headed by Sami Al-Arian, the Florida professor recently charged with terrorist activities. A.N.S.W.E.R., another prominent coordinating antiwar organization, is a front group for the Workers World Party, a Marxist booster of North Korea' s mad dictatorship. Suddenly, reports of protesters' plan s to disrupt U.S. military installations, for example, fall into sinister, political place . At Camp Vandenburg Air Force Base in California, authorities have already said they would use deadly force, if necessary, to protect the base. Deadly force , if necessary, in deadly times.

Two co-workers and a lasting gift On Thursday morning before sunup. 46-year-old Anthony Pires made his way throu jlh the lobby of San Francisco's Cosmo hotel and out to Post Street. The doctors wanted 1\im at the hospital by 6 a.m. Surgery was scheduled for 7:30a.m. He still had time to change his mind. Some people thou ght he was crazy for doing this. His mother was so angry she threatened to cancel Christmas. But his , wife, Kathy, sitting now in the car next to him as they drove the quiet San Franci sco streets toward Californ ia Pacific Medical Center, understood. Anthony is a strong, decisive man with a farm boy's uncomplicated sense of what's right.

He sold life insurance. He saw her mostly when she passed his door on her way to the ladies' room. They had never had lunch together in the employee break room .

Toni Hanson-Owens hadn't kriown what to make of Anthony's offer to give her one of his kidneys. "I want to test to see if I'm a match," he said one morning in early October. She was picking up papers at her mail slot. Anthony was using the typewriter nearby. He had heard thro~gh the grapevine that Toni had been born with one kidney and that the kidney was failin g. No one in her family could donate; her husband also had only one kidney. having lost the other to a tumor a decade ago. One brother had diabetes, the other hi gh blood pressure. Two friends at work who had volunteered to donate were not appropriate matches. Toni told Anthony several times she couldn't accept his offer. When he persisted, she gave him a brochure that detailed the risks: allergic reaction to anesthesia, infection , blood clots, post-operative bleeding. Fifteen minutes later, Anthony carne by Toni's desk. "OK," he said, "what's the next step?'' When Anthony told his family, his mother said he should think about his two children; What if one of them needed a kidney and he no Iangel had one to give? What if he developed kidney problems of his own later on in life? He di smissed the questions as nothing more than a mother's fears. "!can't predict the future," he told her. "All I know is she needs a kidney now. If one of the kids needs it, I'll leave it in God 's hands." The day before the surgery, Anthony and Toni ate lunch in the California Pacific Medical Center' s cafe. Kathy and the two children were there. So was Toni 's husband . Jim. "I don' t know if I'll ever be able to fi ?,ure out why he's doing this, ' said Toni, who is 50. "It's just an incredible thing. ·I can 't put it into words." Anthon y himself kept c ircling around the an swer, as if he suspected he ought to have an eloquent, philosophical explanation. It's a good cause, he said, like someone serving .in the Army. It' s about seeing what happened to that poor girl named Jesica who d1ed last month from a botched transplant. 'I t's about someday looking back on your life, he said, and knowing you made a difference . At midday Thursday, as the televi sion in the waiting room flashed pictures of American tro ops in the Middle East and President Bush talk ing about North Korea, two AAA co-workers rested after surgery, their lives changed. Maybe Anthony will one day regret giving a part of himself to a woman who happens to work down the hall. But sometimes the world gets whittled down to what is right in front of you, to what can be transformed by your own hands. That' s when the big urliversal questions about life and about yourself tap you on the shoulder, in that small quiet moment , and demand some answers. 1 O oan Ryan is a columnist f or th e San Francisco Chronicle.

MILES LAYTON Staff writer MIDDLEPORT - Charity comes from the heart and sometimes from the stomach. The Middleport Pomeroy Rotary Club held a chili supper in late February which raised $750 for GODSNET, which is an active local c harity that provides food, clothing and time to children in the community. At a spaghetti dinner earl ier this week, Albert Detwiller, Rotary presi de nt, officially presented members of GODSNET the check. Rev. Walter Cox, a board member of GODSNET, said the money would go toward the nutritional program. He said the money will come in handy to fill in the ~aps left behind because a charttable grant expired. The Sisters of Saint Joseph's Charitable fund pro vided $5,000 for the past live years to GODSNET. The grant ended in Dec. 2002. Cox said the community has banded together to help make up the difference. · "We felt a real need to do this," Cox said. Detwiller said there were three roasters of chili made that late day in February.

Whether he was referring to himself or his team doesn't matter. Both are correct. James, likely to be the top pick in this year's NBA draft, scored 25 points and had II rebounds as the Fighting Irish (24-1) won their third state championship in four years by beating Kettering Alter 40-36 Saturday in Division II. Doug Penno led the Knights ( 18-9) with 12 points and Eric Laumann had ll. Alter had been beaten 73-40 by the Irish earlier this season.

BRISTOL, Sometimes a little gut instinct is all it takes to break into the winner's circle. Kurt Busch ov.erruled hi s crew chief's call to the pits, gambling . that a caution - would come out before he had to stop. It was perfect strategy and helped Busch win his second-straight Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday. "I was told to pit two laps before and I saw debris in Tum 2," Busch said. "I took it upon myself to stay out on the race track. Sometimes it takes that gut instinct behind the wheel to know wben to stay out." Busch, a runner-up three times this season, didn :t need any bumping, banging or late· race dramatics to get into Victory Lane. · Coming off last week's thrilling door-to-door battle with Ricky Craven that he •lost, Busch had little competition as hi s Ford Taurus led the final 96 laps and easily held off Roush Racing teammate Matt Kenseth by 0.390 seconds. 1 "Kurt Busch is awesome, so awesome," crew chief Jimmy Fenning said. "He gets up on the wheel' and drives the hell out of that race car, and he made a call today that won him the race." Because of 17 cautions · three short of the race record - the long green-flag runs were rare. When competition stayed clean long enough for 129 uninterrupted laps, cars had to start ducking off the track for pit stops. Those who had enough fuel kept running, hoping and praying for a caution, while the drivers who had to stop fell a lap behind the leaders. When Dale Jarrett finally hit the wall I 09 laps from the finish, there were only five cars on the lead lap and all needed to pit. It was the break they needed, and Busch capitalized by bringing his car in for service then passing Bobby Labonte for the lead on the restart . . "Sometimes Jimmy can't see everything sitting on the pit box," Busch said about waiting for the caution to pit. "He just sees the computer, sees the tire wear and where our lap times are headed. "And so it takes team effort from the spotter and sometimes it takes a gut instinct."· Labonte was third in a Chevrolet, Ricky Rudd finished fourth in a Ford, Roush Racing rookie Greg Biffle was fifth and Sterling Marlin scored his highest finish of the season by coming in sixth in a Dodge. , The ending lacked tbe drama of last year, when Busch scored his first career victory by knocking Jimmy Spencer out of his way.

Pistons defeat Bulls, 105-82 AUBURN HILLS, Mich . (AP) - With less than a month to go in the regular season, the Detroit Pistons are trying hard not to look past the "easy" games left on their schedule. They got through one of those games with a 105-82 rout of the Chicago Bulls on Sunday. Now Detroit has two days off before facing another such opponent Wednesday when Atlanta comes to town. "With a team like that, if you get into their kind of game, they have enough talent to beat you," said Ben Wallace, who had 20 rebounds. "Atlanta is coming here next, and they are the same way. We just have to stay calm and play our game." Pistons coach Rick Carlisle agreed. "These are tough games, because these are young teams with a lot of talent," Carlisle said. "They might not be going to the playoffs, but they are starting to come together and w1 n some ( games." The Bulls have lost seven straight on the road and are 334 away from Chicago this season. "It's frustrating ," said Eddy Curry, who led the Bulls with I8 points. "It gets real frustrating to know that we're making it harder than it has to be to win a game on the road. A lot of teams that we can at least contain somewhat at home are blowing us out on the road." Jalen Rose scored just six points on 3-of-15 shooting, and Carlisle acknowledged that the Pistons' defense shouldn't get all the credit. "We talked a lot about Jalen, and we paid a lot of attention to him," Carlisle said. "But he just didn't have his typical night tonight." While Rose was disappointed with his own performance, he was impressed by Wallace. "You take him away from the Pi stons, and I'm pretty sure they aren't the best team in the East," Rose said. "If Monday, March 24, 2003 www.mydallysentlnel.com you go by what he does for a team and what he has done for the league, from a rebounding standpoint, from having a good attitude, playing hard, stealing the ball and being a consummate teammate, then he wins the MVP hands down." ' The Pistons are 3-0 against the Bulls this season, and have won I7 of I 'I meetings since Michael Jordan left Chicago. The win also increased Detroit's Central Division lead to 3 1/2 games over idle Indiana. "We know that if we want to stay in first place, we can't underestimate anyone," said Richard Hamilton , who Jed the Pistons with 26 points. "We got a loi of easy baskets in transition, and when we do that, our offense is going to be smooth." Chicago was missing Donyell Marshall, its leading rebounder and second-leading scorer. after he injured his ribs in Saturday's victory over New York.

"I'm very excited." short- in the new ballpark on Friday stop Barry Larkin said and Saturday aga inst the Sunday. "I'm looking forward Cleveland Indians. "You ' re always excited to opening it up and filling it every night and hopefully about the season finally getgivinr, them a reason to come ting started," Graves said. "This is like moving into a back.' Most players have on! y new house. It's great. I' m defheard about the new park's initely looking forward to this amenities.

"I've heard that it's just aren't many quirks to the field unbelievable," second base- itself, but. there's a unique batter's eye- a black-shaded man Aaron Boone said. • When Boone went through party room that serves as 1he backdrop in center. Also. every grass infielu play s a little differently. ·'Everybody has to learn the different nuances of the park." Larkin said . "You have to see how the infield plays, how the ball caroms off the wall. The hitting eye's important. There's a lot of things we 'II have to Jearn." The most important chore will be figuring out how to turn Great American into a great home field. In their last two seasons at Cinergy Field, the Reds were one of the worst home teams in the majors. They set a franchise record for home futility by goillg 2754 in 200 I, the first year at Cinergy after it was reconfigured to make room for Great American. They went 38-43 last season and got swept by Philadelphia in their final home series. "I just hope it will be· a home-field advantage for us," Larkin said. "I think that's a matter of playing well there, and a matter of how the fans show up and react. ··1 remember during the World Series in 1990, the buzz even before we got out onto the field. Hopefully that's what we' ll have in this new ball park - a buzz. an anticipation and excitement that good things will happen," Rivera, Hoffman - and Williams? Pirates' closer one of baseball's best ·~ BRADENTON. Fla. (AP) -Don't call Mike Williams a one-pitch wonder. Sure, his out pitch is a knee-buck! ing slider that looks like a fastball as it leaves his right hand, but takes a nasty, down-andaway break just as it arrives at the plate. · "It's no secret that I throw a slider, that's my pitch," Williams said Sunday. "The hitters know it, my teammates know it, everybody knows it." What the casual fan may not realize is Williams has become one of baseball's. most rei iable and productive closers despite pitching for a consistently bad team. He rarely pitches with the two-run cushion that the top closers on winning teams often enjoy, yet Williams' 46 saves for the Pittsburgh Pirates la st season trailed only the Braves' John Smoltz (55) and the Dodgers' Eric Gagne (52). No reliever in baseball history ever had more saves on a losi ng-record teaQ'l. And only one reliever ever saved a higher percentage of his team's victories than Williams' 63.9 percent; Bryan Harvey had a 70.3 percentage for Florida in I 993. Since the Pirates first auditioned him as their closer in I 999, Williams has 115 saves, an average of 29 per season. He needs only 43 saves to match Kent Tekulve's club record I 58 saves- at his current pace, a figure he could reach next season. He would be even closer if the Pirates hadn 't traded him to Houston, where he spent two months in 200 I as a setup man. He re-signed with Pittsburgh last season, a twoyear deal with a club option for 2004. Remarkably, the 34-yearold Williams kicked arou nd the majors as a part-time starter - he was 6-14 with the Phillies in 1996 - and mop-up reliever until finally finding the role for which he is best suited. "I've done everything there is to do in pitching. and closing is by far the best ," he said. Williams lacks the 95-mph fastball that big-name closers such as Mariano Rivera and Gagne possess. To compensate, he leans on . his slider much like the Padres' Trevor HotTman relie s on his oftenunhittable changeup. "I sit ·there and think about it all the time. Why can't I throw 95' 1 Why can't I throw preg Maddux 's sinker''" Willia01s said. "B ui everybody 's different, and I believe that's why my slider is mine. I don ' t think anybody can throw it the way I can. It's not a trick pitch. it's just the way I throw it and hold it. It's just me, Mike Williams." Pirates calc he r Jaso n Kendall said Williams is so confident in the pitch. he's not afraid to call it at any time. "I don 't care if it's 2-0 or 3- J," Kendall said. ·'He's got the confidence he can throw it for a strike." But wh ile William s may throw a slider on 15 of every 20 pitches. he made several adjustments last season to stay ahead of the hitters. He began throwing more fastballs to right-handed hitters and more change-ups to lefthanders, makin g it even harder for them to anticip4le the slider. · "Even when you're pitching well , you have to make adjustments to get better because the hitters .are making adjustments," he said. · "Everybody knows I throw a slider, so l"ve got to find different ways to get hitters out. My slider looks like a fastball so, if a guy sees fast ball, fastball and then a sl ider. he's not going to hit it as welL"· Despite his consislency he hat! only four blown saves last season Williams hopes to get fewer save chances. The Pirates have added Jeff Suppan anti Jeff D' Amico to their rotation and Matt Herges to an already good bullpen. With .a deeper and more seasoned staff. the Pirates ma y no longer need Williams to save virtually every victory the y get. Last year. they were so dependent on Will iams, he had all but one of their 47 · saves. "I don't think I can repeat (2002) he sa id. and that 's fine with me." he said. " If I don't, it's because we're better. If I have to trade saves for wins, that's fine."

Another gay man, "Nige ," lives down . the hall. We do not socialize. Nigel is in his late 40s, and I have a strong aversion to him because. he informs anyone who' ll listen about his sexual escapades. I recently ran into Nigel in the elevator, and he staned boasting about a fling he's having with a 16-year- old boy who .lives two floors below. As we stepped into the lobby, Nigel waved to the boy's mother, then laughingly told me under his breath that she ie~ards him as just "a neighbor friend who kindly drives her son to schooL". Abby, please urge your readers to get to know who their children are spending time with. They should make it a point to meet all their children's friends in person, and never permil thetr kids to go out with "friends" they haven't met. Is there anything I can do about Nigel and that boy? Should I call the authorities?! feel this monster is taking advantage of a minor and should be stopped. - NO NAME, CITY OR STATE DEAR NO NAME, CITY OR STATE: What Nigel is doing is child abuse. Tell the Dear Abby ADVICE boy's mother what Nigel told you. She needs to know what's going on. It's up to her to report 11 to the police. DEAR ABBY: Recently, while "under the influence" at a party, ..Ray," a friend of my boyfriend, "Pete," lried to kiss me. I avoided Ray for the rest of" the evening and have not told anyone about the incident. The trouble is, my boyfriend has told me more than once that if he ever found out any of his friends had made a move on me, he'd hurt him badly. I don't know if I should tell Pete what happened and try to explain that Ray was drunk and didn't know what he was doing. I don't think Ray would ever try anything like that while sober, so I'm tempted to keep quiet -so no one gets hurt. However, I have never kept a secret from my boyfriend before, and I'm wonied that if he finds out, he "might think I kissed Ray back. What do you think I should do, Abby? •• NOT A PARTY GIRL IN ONTARIO, CANADA DEAR NOT A PARTY GIRL: Don't tell him. . I am concerned because it ap.JlC?31'S that your boyfriend has a vtolent and/or intimidating streak. You should be able to confide in him without feeling threatened. I wge you to rethink your relationship with both of these young men, and the kind of parties you are attending. DEAR ABBY: Just before Christmas, I found evidence on our computer that my husband was cheating. New proof eontinues to appear, though less frequently. I am fmancially dependent on my.spouse, phystcally unable to work, and my elderly mother live~ with us. She is completely dependent on me for her care. Financially, I cannot afford to leave or ask my husband to leave. I'm afraid to let on that I know about his infidelity, but don't know how much longer I can keep silent. The hurt and anger are eating me alive. What should I do? -mJMILIAT· ED IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS DEAR HUMILIATED: The stress of caring for your mother may have affected both you and your husband. If you continue to suffer in silence, it's only a matter of time until you explode -- which would be counterproductive. Tell your husband calmly that you know what's been going on. Explain that you would like the both of you to fel marriage counseling to hea the breach that has developed in your relationship. Maniages can be saved after an infidelity if both parties are win: ing to work on it.
