In June we will have been dating for six years. We've lived together for four, I am ready for marriage and a family, but Brian considers marriage a "financial decision." He has told me more than once that he would gain nothing by mall}'ing me. Frankly, our hving arran~e­ ment has never been financtally ideal for me. At the time we moved in together, I had been making payments on a small home that would have been paid for by now. I sold it (takrng a loss) and gave away all my furniture when I moved in w1th Brian. He had just purchased a pricey home, and I have always paid him rent and shared alllivmg expenses. So I have to ask myself: What does my live-in companion have to "lose" financtally by marrying me? I continue to pay him rent. At my own expense I have painted the bedrooms, put up all new drapes and blinds. planted a beautiful garden - all for a house that's not even mine. Last June, I gave Brian one year to ask me to marry him. Here it is almost May, and he is no closer to proposing now than he was then.

Your boyfriend is a self-admitted cash-and-carry kind of guy. He is only interested in the financial benefits of your current arrangement. You have stars in your eyes, and Brian is blinded by dollar signs. If you want a real par1nership, find someone with whom you have more in common. DEAR ABBY: "Vivian" has been my best friend for· II years. Our children are the same ages and our families have always been close. Last summer, Viv suddenly stopped talking to me and wouldn't return my phone calls. The last' time we spoke was Christmas when she brought gifts over for the kids and acted like everything was fine. I haven 't heard a word from her since. I miss my friend and I, am mystified as to why she won't return my calls and e-mails. I thought we were as close as sisters. I don't understand how a grown woman can toss out a longtime friendship like yesterday's garbage. What more can I do, Abby? -HURT AND CONFUSED IN ORE- GON · DEAR HURT AND CONFUSED: You have done all you can to preserve the friendship. The ball is now in Vivian 's court.

MILES lAYTON Staff writer RACINE - Teachers and staff at the Southern Local School District voiced concerns. and lislened intently to school board members and the superintendent about possible budget cuts at Monday' s meeting. The district is more than $665.000 in debt, and faculty and statf layoffs are one possibility the board is considering to pay off the debt. One of the main expeqdi tures that will be evaluated are salary and benefit pack · ages, which make up 83 per· cent of the budget. Fixed expenditures, which include such things as utility bill s or fuel costs, represent the remaining 17 percent of the budget and are not reduced as easily. "I predict that the board of education will scrutinize the educational needs of our di strict and enact cost saving measures," Superintendent Bob Grueser said.

"We need to show the commission thai we· are making progres s," said Grueser. Board member Ron Cammarata said he -wants budget decision s to be made locally instead of by the state. "They would come in and have no mercy at all." he said. Two reasons were cited for the increased costs and the spiraling debt. Health insurance premiums have dramat- ' ically increased for the school district during the past three years. Those costs have increased more than 30 percent each · year for the past three years. Med Mutual is the health insurance provider. Grueser said the di strict probably has the highest health care costs in the state. Cammarata said the district ~ays in premiums at least 5'000 m\)re per person t han Meigs Local does. Grueser said there is an uneven bargaining situation , between the di strict and Med Mutual. The district is unable to compare its customized plan against another plan from a competing in surance co'mpany. While the district is actively seeking ways to 1 k k · · ower s yroc ·eung premiums , Grueser said Med Mutual is in a virtual manopoly situation.

Mtl£5 lAYTON Staff writer · RACINE Several teachers pled their case that layoffs would be detrimental to · the district at the Southern Local School Board meeting Monday. Carissa Bailey, a teacher at Southern Elementary, said she had 21 students last. year and only 16 this year. She said that because she is able to devote more tim11to her students, they have done better ·and progressed further. Bailey said her students are at least two chapters further ahead in math this year than they were last year. According to the ODE, the average classroom students-per-teacher ratio is 15.7 for Southern. The state average is 18 students per· teacher. Similar districts, which have comparable demographics according to the ODE, have the same kinds of studentiteacher ratios . Staffing layoffs could affect teacher ratios because fewer teachers would mean more students per classroom. Many elementary school teachers told school board members how irrfportant aides were to the classroom. . Carla Shuler, who has been teaching for 32 years, said teachers were par1ly to blame for the district's financial misfonune. A math 'teacher, Shuler supplied a barrage of numbers that paint a picture of how teachers could save the district money s_imply by showing up for work. ' According to Shuler, out of 143 days thus far this school year, teachers across the district have missed a cumulative total of 720 days- which averages out to be about 12 days per teacher.

The Ohio Department of Education approved the hiring of David Dibble last fall as principal of Excel Institute. His fingerprint check was clear, said Steve Burigana, ihe department's executive director of community schools. Columbus police say Dibble's real name is Dale Diddle. The man has been arraigned under that name in Franklin County Municipal Court on forged check charges. Diddle's former wife, Rosemary Blayney of Westlake m suburban Cleveland, said Diddle is known to change names. He had been an assistant principal at Westlake High School and used her last name in 1996 to run up $279,000 in credit card bills, for which he went to federal prison, she said. Diddle lost hi s teaching license in West Virginia and Pennsylvania because of criminal charges. It's not clear why the fingerprints didn't produce the record or reveal a fake name, Burigana said, But even if officials at the charter school did know the other name, state law limits how frequently and thoroughly schools can c~eck emplo~­ ee backgrounds and makes tt optional to check teaching credentials in other states if the person has lived in Ohio at least five years. · Lawmakers created charter schools in~l997 as an alternative to tradit:onal public schools. They are privately run, but publicly funded and free from some state regulations. The department has asked lawmakers to allow for better checks. "What we have in this situation is a statute which hasn 't been adjusted over · time," Burigana said. "In the past, technology didn't permit the kind of broad research that can be done today." If the department can confirm that the principal is Diddle, Burigana said it would refer .his case to the state Board of Education and recommend pulling his teaching license.

It was, to be sure. an awkward affair, a show muted by war thoughts, by fraidy-cat advertisers who pulled out ai the last moment. . But it mostly managed to sidestep the ugliness, in a needed respite from the grim clash in Iraq. Everyone at the .Kodak Theatre, and many watching at home, were aware of the news stories of dead, wounded and captured. Yet it was good to see Steve Martin poke fun at himself, at the heightened security, and at Hollywood. ("I didn't host the show bist year, because I was- how do you say it? - not asked."). It was somehow reassuring to see Jack Nicholson grinning wolfishly. in his indoor shades. .In an uneasy time, who can blame us if, aware of the world, we take respite from the world? The Academy Awards reminded us that while it's no replacement for reality, make-believe can be a blessed escape. TODAY I .N HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Tuesday, April15, the 105thday of2003. There are 260 days left in the year. · Today's Highlight iQ History: . In the early hours of April 15, 1912, the British luxury liner "Titanic" sank in the North Atlantic off Newfoundland, less than three hours after striking an iceberg. About I ,500 people died. · 'On this date: " In 186 I, three days after the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter, President Lincoln declared a state of insurrection and called out Union troops. · - In 1865, President Lincoln died, several hours after he was shot at Ford's Theater in Washington by John Wilkes Booth. Andrew Johnson became the nation's 17th president. , In 1892, General Electric Co.: formed by the merger of the Edison Electric Light Co. and other firms, was incorporated in New York State. · 'In l 945, during World War II, British and Canadian troops liberated the Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. - In 1945, President Franklin Roosevelt, who had died April 2, was buried at the Roosevelt family home in Hyde Park, N.Y. In 1959, Cuban leader Fidel Castro arrived in Washington to begin a goodwill tour of the United States. In 1989, 95 people died in a crush of soccer fans at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, England. In 1992, hotel magnate Leona Helmsley began serving a prison sentence for tax evasion (she was released from prison after 18 months). Ten years ago: The Group of Seven nations unveiled a $28.4 billion aid package for Russia at the conclusion of an emergency two-day meeting in Tokyo. Five years ago: Pol Pot. the notorious leader of the Khmer Rouge, died at age 73 , evading prosecution for the deaths of 2 million Cambodians. One year ago: Four U.S. soldiers were killed in Afghanistan when rockets· they were trying to destroy accidentally blew up. The Vatican announced that Pope Jo)1n Paul II was summoning American cardinals to Rome for talks about sex abuse S<;andals in the U.S. church. A Chinese jetliner crashed in S9uth Korea, killing 122 people. Re)ired Supreme Court Justice Byron R. White ·died at age 84. Rodgers Rop led a tenyan sweep of the Boston Marathon, winning in 2:09:02. · ~argaret Okayo, also of Kenya, won the women's race in Democrats raise bar for judging Bush in Iraq Military victory in Iraq should give President Bush a political boost, but it's also · likely to unify fractious ' Democrats around two issues - the war's atiermath and the U.S. economy. Polls indicate that success in the war has increased national support for the conflict to around 75 percent. But Bush's overall approval ratings have risen only into the mid-60s. well short of the 80s and 90s he registered after the September 2001 terrorist attacks and his father scored after the 1991 Persian Gulf War. An lpsos/Cook Political Report poll published this week showed Bush 's approval rating on the economy at just 55 percent. Forty-six percent of voters said they would definitely vote to re-elect Bush, while 31 percent said they'd definitely VQte against him and 20 percent ·said they 'd consider doing so. Bush's numbers should get better as Iraqi military resistance ceases, caches of weapons of mass destruction are discovered and Iraqis cheer coalition fori:es a' liberators. But, Democratic Party pros see a parallel developing to Bush's father, who lost the 1992 election because of a weak economy despite winning the Gulf War. And almost all Democrats - those who supported the Iraq war and those who opposed it - are united in raising the bar that Bu~ h. has to jump before the Iraq enterprise can be judged a success. They say he has to secure the peace, preferably by internationalizing the post-v,:ar .. . Morton Kondracke Iraqi reconstruction effort, repair torn relations with U.S . allies, refocus on Arab-Israeli diplomacy and pay attention to challenges presented by North Korea, Iran, Syria and terrorist groups. The requirements are being laid down by Democratic presidential candidates tmd even by Congressional backbenchers such as the three leaders of a new Democratic Study Group on National Security just named by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.). The three. Reps. Steve Israel (N.Y.), Adam Schiff (Calif.). and David Scott (Ga.). all support the Wfll'. Israel and Schiff identify themselves as "Scoop Jackson ~mocrats " after the Cold War hawk, Sen. Henry Jackson (Wash.). Scott said he's an admirer, too, of Secretary of State Colin Powell and former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young . "We recognize that; on Iraq, our Caucus is divided and thai our study group can't heal the division," Schiff said in an interview. "Prospectively, we want to develop smart, strong, credible alternatives to what the administration is producing." The study group, with the ranking members on the Armed Services, lntematiomil ·Relations and Intelligence committees serving as advisers. will provide a forum for members not on those committees to leWll about key foreign policy issues. · On Iraq. according to Scott, "We· may have won the war basically alone, bur we can't rebuild the region without allies and friends and we 've got to brin? around countries that weren t with us in the beginning." He said that there should be a "role for France and Gennany,'' though "not at the head of the line." It's almost unanimous among Democratic presidential candidates, roo, that Bush needs to internationali ze the postwar effort and avo id appearing as Iraq's '·occupier." Before and during the war. the candidates have been deeply at odds. Pro-war candidates like Sens. Joe Lieberman (Conn. ) and John Edwards (N.C.) and Rep. Ri chard Gephardt (Mo.) have been subjected to catcalls from antiwar liberals. · Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean has made himself into a contender for the nomination by militantly opposing the war and jabbing at rivals, n9tably Sen. John Kerry (Mass.), wh.o supported it in Congress but fudged on the campaign trail. In a speech prepared for delivery in Washington on Wednesday, Dean set the new tone for Bush's Democrats to inuseIraq. in judging success "We must hold the administration to its promi ses before the war," he said, "and create a world after the war that - issafer, more democratic, and more united in winning the larger struggle against terrorism and the forces thut breed it.'' He said. "the administration's plan for the Pentagon to administer lra4 is a disaster" and added that "overall civiiian authOJity should be transferred to an international body approved by the U.N. Security Council." From the opposite side of the original war issue, Lieberman said on Feb. 26 that "appointing ar1 American civilian admini strator would be a critical mistake" anq ''could pul America in the position of an occupying power, not a libermor." Lieberman favors an international administrator, though not one appointed by the United Nations. It may be that the new fault line among Democrats will be over the extent that they'd allow France, Rus sia and Germany to have a ve!o over administration of Iraq atier the war. In late March, according to Republican pollster David Winston . Republicans had a huge edge over Democrats, 58 percent to 27 percent, as the party the public trusts to handie national defense and foreign policy. To the extent that Democrats rely on the United Nations to determine U.S. foreign policy, those numbers are not likely to change .

WASHINGTON Essential completion of a blueprint of the human genetic code should lead to new drugs, better ways to monitor health and new treatments for major diseases, medical experts say. A joint statement Monday from the leaders of the six nations said the genetic map "provides us with the fundamental platform for understanding o~rselves from which revolutionary progress will be made in biomedical sciences and in the health and welfare of humankind." The group, along with a competing private effort, completed a rough draft of the genome in 2000, but that draft included thousallds of gaps in the long sequence of DNA base pairs. Now all but 400 of those gaps have been closed. "After three billion years of evolution ... we have before us the instructions set that carries each of us from a one-celled egg through adulthood to the grave," said Dr. Robert Waterston of the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium. "It is written in an arcane language and encom- passes a complexity that we just beginning to understand." The geno·me is composed of about 3 billion pairs of DNA chemicals within 24 chromosomes. The genes that control the body's development, growth, functions and aging are made of specitic sequences of the se chemical pairs. A small change in these sequences can be enough to cause disease. By identifying the correct and healthy sequence of base pairs. researchers hope to be able to find the disease-causing genetic flaws that could vield to treatment. • Scientists are still u1icet1ain see.

U.S. Marines spread through the city and stepped up security after Iraqis expressed their anger over lawlessnes that engulfed the capital since the American troops' arrival. (AP) fl),,l hpohg: 19atlvl:rtllllnr f)01111 l)IMBRI11 1t\tQ:I'ttr The Daily Sentinel WACO, Texas On a Sunday morning a decade ago, federal a!:lents expected to sform a religious "group's compound, catch the occupants · off-guard and take their leader away in handcuffs. It didn't happen that way. Four lawmen and six members of the· group were killed in a gun battle during the Fe]:l. 28, 1993, raid. It led to a 51-day standoff that ended that April 19 in the deaths of nearly 80 people, including two dozen chi!dren , ·as the compound burned to the· ground. In the years that followed the raid on the Branch Davidian- complex, the mantra "Not Another Waco" has become a powerfu I credo for the Bureau of Alcohol , Toba~co and Firearms recently renamed the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - and law enforcement agencies nationwide. "The events of Waco were a watershed for the ATF, on a personal level ... and professional level In terms of it being a horrendous wake-up call in terms of how we do business." said Brad Buckles, ATF director since 1999. The ATF was criticized for raiding the Waco compound instead of arresting cult leader David Koresh while he went jogging or drove into town. The agency also was blamed for not calling it off after an undercover agent reported that Koresh, suspected of stockpiling illegal weapons and explosives, knew about the raid. The FBI, which assumed command the day after the raid, was accused of ineffective negotiating with K.oresh and criticized for rushing to d h d ff · h If en 1 e stan wit a ~e proclaimed prophet who had predicted a violent finale. Government officials have maintained that the deadly fire was started by Davidians. The FBI ~dmit­ ted in 1999 that two patentially incendi ary tear gas ° cani sters were fired on the last day but said the devices were aimed away from the compound hours earlier. Criticism of federal officials built quickly. Many agents and supervisors with the ATF, FBI and other agencies involved in the Waco incident nave since retired or been fired or reassigned . Then-Auorney General Janet Reno, who had approved the use of tear gas, ordered · an investigation. The report in 2000 concluded that Branch Davidians started the fire and shot each other in a mass suicide, ending the standoff. There is a perception "that we were big macho guys rolling in with tanks, trying to show these guys who was boss. but there's nothing further from the truth," said Bob Ricks, a retired FBI special agent who worked . with negotiators at Waco. "In the final analysis. our hopes and prayers and wishes were that everyone would come out alive."

(AP) - It was difficult for Roy Williams to calm down 12 hours after making one of the hardest decisions of his life. He cut himself shaving in his hotel room, his hand still shaking minutes before officially taking over North Carolina's storied basketball program. The week leading up to his decision to leave Kansas was also vintage Williams, filled with emotional twists and turns that ended in a sobbing goodbye to his Jayhawks on Monday afternoon. "I love two schools, and this was not an easy position to be in," Williams said. "I was very pleased three years ago thinking I would never be in this position again." Dean Smith came calling in 2000 when Bill Guthridge retired. The timing appeared right for Williams to leave Kansas and return to hi s home state, his alma mater and the place where he 'learned his craft for a decade under the Hall of Fame coach. But it wasn ' t to be, as Williams backed out in a lastmi'nute about-face that left ,the Tar Heels scrambling ,to -find a coach in the Carolina Family. This time around, Williams waited a week again to give his final answer to UNC athletic director Dick Baddour. And again it was touch-andgo. Shortly after his team's 81 78 loss to Syracuse in the national title game last Monday, speculation turned to Williams taking over the Tar Heels. But he needed time and space to think, something Baddour was willing to give. "He didn't push me early on," Williams said. "He gave me some space and so}Tle time and he didn't push. If he had done that, I would have said no." In fact, Williams almost picked up the telephone twice I to tell Baddour he wasn't coming - once when he saw a photo of Kansas recruit Omar Wilkes sitting on his desk and once when he saw Nick Collison at the Wooden Awards over the weekend in Los Angeles. But the 52-year-old Williams never called the Tar Heels, telling himself in the early mornin~ hours Monday that his dectsion would be fmal once his plane landed in Lawrence, Kan. "I have so much respect for Coach Smith," Williams said. "It was hard to say no·to him twice." After a few hours of sleep, Williams finally made the calls to North Carolina, first to Smith and then to Baddour - telling each he would come to replace Matt Doheny, a former teammate of Michael Jordan who was forced to resign April I. "I have two dream schools and I wanted to coach both, but you can't do it at the same time," said Williams, who received an eight-year contract. "Now I'm coaching North Carolina and few people can say they coached at their two both favorite schools schools touched by something special." It's clear how much Williams loved Kansas, a program he coached to nine conference titles and four Final Pours in 15 seasons. He .started hi s news con fcrence in the Smith Center with an emotional reading of the names of his ·13 players and four recruits. "The one thing I asked them to remember is that every day I gave them everything I had," Williams said. "I cared about them as people and .I appreciated how hard they worked for me and how they trusted me. It's hard to tum my back on those kids." Williams may have used Smith's · lessons to build Kansas il)to a power, going 418-10 I, but he made it clear ( that Smith stands in a class by himself. "I will never be able to do what Coach Smith did. No one will ever be -able do that. No one has ever had the whole package like he has." Williams said. Williams played as a freshman with the Tar Heels during the 1968-69 season and was Smith's assistant from 1978-88. During that time, North Carolina advanced to the national title game in 1981 against Indiana and won the championship the follow ing season, when Jordan hit the winning shot. Doheny, a former assistant to Williams at Kansas, had been coach at Notre Dame for just one season when he was hired at North Carolina. Doheny had a terrific first season, winning AP's national coach of the year award in 2001. . ' But the Tar Heels slipped badly the next season, going a program-worst 8-20. Doheny's young team went 19- 16 this season but missed the NCAA tournament for the ,second straight year. Doherty also was criticized for alienating some players and athletic department staff. "'rhe second time in your life that you have a major decision usually doesn't· happen," Williams said . "I don ' t really like the word chance. That means you were hoping it would come again and that was not me. I wanted Matt Doheny to be here for 20 years and be very proud of my school." Smith and Guthri<!ge stood nearby, and the Tar Heels' players wore suits and sport Jackets during the William s news conference. Outside, a crowd of students gathered, and they could be heard cheering before the announcement. Back in Kansas, chanq:llor Robert Hemenway said Williams stood for more than just wins and losses. ' ' l ' . ' The Daily Sentinel • Page 83 www.mydailysentlnel.com eight and two of the three run s he allowed were earned. Rio surged to a 9-2 in the second . game. before · Cedarville answered back with six runs in the fourth to make the score 9-8. Kris Schuler had the big hit with a two-run home run in the fifth to up the score to 11-8. Marcus Goolsby was 2-for -4 with a triple and an RBI, while Scott Peterman was 3-for~3 with a 'd ouble and two RBI. Kevin Hale picked up the win in relief to improve to 5-0 on the season. Hale struck out eight batters and yielded only two earned runs in the final 3 2/3 mntng s.

They complamed to the assistant principal, and the boy was given one day of detention -- after which the harassment escalated. Those ~iris should know that telltng the assistant principal one time is not enough. Although your advice to tell their parents is important, much more needs to be done. Victims must document and report any future incidents immedtately to an adult, at the school. · In my school, if such a report occurs, the perpetrator is immediately suspended. Expulsion and legal action are also used if the sexual harassment does not stop. In addition, because the perpetrators are often skilled at not exhibiting this behavior in clear view of adults. I teach victims · how to respond so thiu the pei"petra· tor is exposed. Victims must clearly and loudly tell the offender to "Leave me alone! Don't touch me! Don't say that to me!" This alerts adults and students in the school that there's a Zanesville" is committing · a crime. Boys who do this have no sense 'of appropriate boundaries with the opposite sex. If they ' ll do it in public , there :.S no telling what they will do in a private setting. What is most surprising to me about these cases is the fact that the girls seem to tolerate it for extended periods of time. My experience leads me to believe that the culture of high school and/or junior high leads these girls to believe that they brought the harassment on themselves. Please let all students know that inappropriate touching is not OK. They are entit led to go to school a(\d feel safe. Policing by peers is the strongest deterrent to this type of behavior. Classmates as well as victims · need to speak out against this behavior. DEPUTY PROSECUTOR IN WASHINGTON DEAR . D.P.: The girls ''tolerate" it because they haven't learned how to effectively stop it. But you ' re right, silence does indicate that it's acceptable . Peer pressure can be a powerful weapon for good. ·When people speak out and let those around them know they won't tolerate some- Dear Abby ADVICE pr'1blem. Notes, e-mails or written messages must be saved and turned over to school officials. I also revie"w the incident with the staff, to alert them to be more observant of possible future problems . It is only through CONTlNUED communication between the victim and school officials that effective action can be taken and the harassment stopped. GORDON W. HOOD, PRINCIPAL, NICHOLS MIDDLE SCHOOL, EVANSTON, ILL. DEAR GORDON: Thank you for writing. Let it be lost on no one that although the ~iris who wrote to me were t.n high school, harassment also happens in middle school -- and even grammar school. · DEAR ABBY: The boy who sexualfy harassed the "Three Girls From 12 thing and stand together, it can change a culture.
