Each day at lunj:h. my friend, "Lily," runs to the bathroom right after she eats. I'm pretty sure she's throwing up. Lily' s other friends agree with me, because one of them heard puking noises coming from a bathroom stall Lily went into. I don't know what the word is for making yourself throw up, but I do know it can ruin your health and could even kill you. My sister says that Lily needs to. understand her behavior is dangerous to her health, but I'm afraid she 'II feel betrayed if I tell. What should I dol - ANONYMOUS IN SANTA ROSA, CALIF. ·. DEAR ANONYMOUS: Lily is fortunate to have such a caring friend as you. The name for her problem is bulimia, and you are correct that it is very serious. Once people get into the habit of vomiting their food after eating, it may take professional intervention and therapy to stop. I urge you to tell a trusted teacher or counselor at school what you have written to me. Lily's parents must be told that she has a serious problem. Her health and possibly her life could depend upon it. . Dear Abby ADVICE You should also tell your mother. I'm sure she 'II be proud she 'has such an intelligent and proactive daughter. DEAR ABBY: I am 52 and have been a widow for nearly 10 years. I am going with a wonderful guy, "Gus," who had quadruple bypass surgery a year ago. Gus is 53. He takes care of himself by watching his diet and doing aerobics. My mother thinks I should break up with him because of his health problems. I've also had health problems - a blood clot two years ago and total knee replacement early last year. Gus and I love each other and feel we can support each other through our health challenges. Should I listen to my mother and lead a lonely life -or make 'a lifelong commitment to Gus? - ·HAPPY AGAIN IN MICHIGAN DEAR HAPPY AGAIN: I ACROSS help needy people in our local areas.

DEAR ABBY: I appreciated learning about the VISION USA free eye-care program that was recently mentioned in your column, but I want you and your readers to know that there are also other assistance programs available. Every day I see working peo~ pie who can't afford insurance for themselves and their families. That is where the Lions clubs come in. Many Lions clubs provide assistance with free eye care (exams, glasses and surgery) for those in need. There are approximately 1.4 million members in more than 44,~ clubs in 190 countries. Over the years, the Lions have extended their service to help with hearing exams, hearing aids and medical assistance for diabetics. We work with local eye- care professionals to help children and adults. To get in touch with your local Lions club, check community resources or visit www.lionsclubs.org.

Scott Powell, who was recently elected as the Meigs County Juvenile/Probate r=...-=.:;:;_-' Judge, ends his three-yearlenure Powell as the village magistrate later this montlr.' He has ruled on many cases involving traffic tickets and other minor infractions of the law. PoweU reflected that some of the strangest cases he has dealt with involved people who were convinced that they were lawyers of the frrst order. Many of these people would come before his court with simple speeding citations and argue case law and precedent as if they were before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Ohio University graduate's philosophy has always been to treat people equitably. "I have tried to work hard and do the right thing and treat people as I would want to be treated and to be fair," Powell said. Powell's interest in the law ,began when he was in school. He said he was often asked to play a lawyer in school productions. The University ofDetroit law school graduate said he is fascinated by the law. The seasoned lawyer is 111llazed by the absurdity of TV lawyer Perry Mason-like justice with the swprise confession at the end or the sudden glaring admission of evidence. Powell said that what he enjoyed most about serving as magistrate was helping people. He said this service took many forms while he · was on the bench, but he particularly liked it when he could settle a dispute between people who te~y forgot that they were netghbors and friends. dom Airpi:>~ ~n Day, I fe1t as was part of one' very · family, sharing the slime love f~ the team and the same goal - tQ become national champlons.

Will we point to racism, poverty, government policies, health care prot'4ssionals, ignorance or immorality to explai n why a disease that has ra vaged the continent of Afri ca is quietly raging through urban communities? Having recentl y returned from a meeting of the African American AIDS Policy & Train ing Institute in Los Angeles, I can truly say that there Is no greate r challe nge facing AfricanAmerican leadership today than AIDS. The statistics are shocking: o HIY/AIDS is the leading cause of death for African-American men betwe~ n the ages of 25 and 44 and the third for African-American women in th is age group. . • In 1999, the rate of AIDS for African-Americans was eight times that of whites. o African-Americans comprised nearly 52 percent of people with HIV through June 2000. • African-American children reprelent 67 percent of all AIDS cases among children in the United States. • African-American women represent 64 percent of all new AIDS cases among women in the United States. • African-American men represent 42 percent of all new AIDS cases among men in the United States. o Though African-American youths between the ages of 13 and 19 represent 15 percent of the adolescent population, they accounted for 61 percent of the reported AIDS cases among adole scents in the United States.

This means that more But as the Los Angeles-based Black young African-American gay men are AIDS Institute unashamedly proclaims infec ted with HIV than anywhere else in its mission statement: These are "our in the world, with the exce ption of men people."· This is "our problem."

NO SPIN ZONE Stifter enforcement of immigration laws are needed Chances are the 42-year-old mother of two who was allegedly gang-raped in New York City by five illegal aliens did not know that Article Four, Section Four of the Constitution says that the federal govern ment will protec t each state agai nst "invasion" and "domestic violence." If she had known that, her horrible ordeal would have been made worse, because she would have understood that the people who run the United States and New York City failed to protect her by not enforcing the Constitution. With an estimated I0,000,000 ill egal aliens currently in the United States, and thousands more arriving each wer.k, there is no question that we are being invaded by fore igners. Most are seeking a better lite; some want to hurt us. The federal gove rnment has long been aware th at Border Patrol and the Immigration and Naturalization Servi ce (INS) are overwhelmed and cannot keep the "invaders" out. Tile feds have looked the other way for a couple uf reasons. Cheap immigrant labor fuels pro ti ts, and immigrant-ri ghts groups can hurt a politician who is considered "unfriendly."

Yet in New York, Executive Order 124, signed by Mayor Koch in 1989, discourages and, in some cases, prohibits city workers, including police, from reporting any known illegal alien to the INS. even after l1e or she has bee11 arrested . Former New York City Police Commissioner Howard Salir told me: "The thinking is that if you make the police the surrogates of the INS, then the communities that you police will not trust you .:. I'm not suggesting it's right." But it is policy, and Mayors Dinkins. Giuli tmi and now Bloomberg have championed it. So what is this poor raped woman to think? Four men· from Mexico and one fro m Ec uador were roam ing around Quee ns unsupervised, even though four of those men had been arrested and two convicted of seri ous c rim'es. That woman's life is shattered because politicians simpl y would not do what was necessary to protect her. In California, th ere a re curre nt ly 19,000 illegal immigrants in state prisons for serious crimes - 12 percent of the total prison population in the Golden State. And when those alien criminals are paroled, most of them will not be deport· eel because of lack of will on the part of politicians. This is simply disgraceful. So what can be done? The answer is very little, because the elite media will not aggressively cover this harrowing story. How many editorial pages have you seen demanding that the U.S. military be sent to secure our bor· ders? How many stories on the network news have you watc11ed pointing out that people like Mayor Bloomberg will not enforce federal law? Many in the establishment press see themselves as "champions" of the underdog, and they put illegal aliens in that category. This is an emotional issue, and it is true that millions of illegals are good people seeking a better life. But when law enfo rcement breaks down, chaos usually ensues, and people get hurt. The United States government on all levels exists for one prim¥Y reas<in: To protect Americans from criminals and enemies who would hurt them. There's one woman in New York City who was denied that protection. And no . panderi ng politicians can deny it.

Davis knows exactly what kind of coach he's getting. "Not only is he an outstanding defensive coordinator,'' Davis said. "He's a great guy and a wonderful teacher. The thing that always impressed me was the great relationship he· had with the players he coached." Even after being flred by Dallas owner Jerry Jones and replaced by Bill · Parcells, Campo knew he wanted to get back into coaching immediately. He had talked with Seattle coach Mike Holmgren about the Seahawks' vacant defensive coordinator's job, but his past with Davis made Cleveland a beller fit. "My father told me, 'If you've fallen off a horse, get back up and ride'," he said. "I'm ready to get back firillg. Unfortunately, the last three years in Dallas we didn't have the success we would have liked. But, I'm a football coach." Campo said he won't be making an~ drastic changes to Cleveland s 4-3 defense. There's no need for tinkering since he and Davis are already on the same page. Campo aspires to be an NFL head coach again, and after 16 years as a college assistant and 11 in the pros, he has no illusions about his role with the Browns. 'There's one coach here," he said. "That's Butch." There's something else Campo will have to get used (9, and that's not having an owner who sits in on the coach's meetings like Jones did in Dlillas. Campo, though, still feels Jones' presence. He was asked if he'd miss Jones being at die meetings. "Is this going an over the country?' ,he joW ."I'll be honest with you. I love Jerry Jones.

He's the light of my life. As a result of my messy divorce, Jimmy is having a lot of problems dealing with his mother. (I'll call her Elaine.) Elaine calls only when it's convenient for her and refuses to give me her address or phone number, making it Impossible for Jimniy to contact her. The judge ordered her to take parentmg classes and suspended her visitation until she complies. My stepdaughter has been in touch with Elaine, and I have allowed her to pick up Jimmy and take him to vis1t his mother, because I want him to know her. Until last year Elaine was addicted to drugs, but claims she's clean now due to her probation. My dilemma: Elaine owes me $5,000 in child suprort. I' ve been paid a tota of $214.15. Now the judge has ordered her to pay me a certain amount or she will be sent to jail for six months. Elaine has blamed me in front of Jimmy for her situation. He is hurt by this and blames me for the possibility of "putting Mommy in jail," even though she's the one responsible for her own actions. Jimmy has I Dear Abby ADVICE been in couleling, but it's not helpinj) I need your advice, Ablly. Please help me. - SINGLE DAD IN ILLINOIS DEAR SINGLE DAD: Your mistake w~llowing your stepdaught~o take Jimmy to see hi s mother against the judge's orders. In a sense, it has allowed your little boy to be victimized again because of Elaine's brainwashing. My advice is to keep your son in counseling - and follow the judge's rules from now on. Be sure the counselor is aware of everything that 's happening , as well as your son's teachers. Spend as much time with your son as you can. He needs you now more than ever. DEAR ABBY: My mother was married once before she married my dad . She has· a son; "Morris," from that first marriage. When Dad and Mom were married, my dad adopted Morris. My parents have been divorced almost 20 years now, and Dad's mother ("Granny O'Hara") does not acknowledge my half-brother as her grandchild, nor his wife or their lovely children.

Horace and Dorothy Karr are the developers of the 6,000 square foot restaurant to be called the "Wild Horse Cafe." Steaks, pork, chicken, fish and Mexican dishes will be served in a southwestern atmosphere, according to the Karrs, who noted that as soon as plans are approved by the state and the weather improves construction will begin. Plans are for the restaurant to be open by late summer. "The Wild Horse Cafe will feature a 104-foot riverfront veranda that will seat 50 above a 100-foot boat docking facility on the river with steel stairs leading to the main building," said Horace Karr. "The restaurant will have 138 seats in non-smoking and 60 in smoking," he added. He also noted that it will include a folding partition to separate a section of the room to accommodate up to 70 people for meetings or parties. There will be windows across the back of the one-story structure -so that patrons wiJ1 have a good view of the river and the new lighted Pomeroy-Mason bridge also scheduled to go under consb11ction in the spring. Parking for 68 vehicles has been included in the plans. Karr said that the outside veranda will be two feet lower than the main floor of the building, so that people inside can see the river-. The restaurant will be built on West Main Street on land purchased by..the Karrs from John Fultz of Middleport. Buildings on the land which housed a variety of businesses over the years were torn down several months ago. "The Wild Horse Cafe might remind you of an Applebee's or Ruby Tuesday," said Karr. "I hope to create a restaurant . where the people of Meigs, Mason and Galha Counties can enjoy that type of dining without driving all the way to Parkersburg or Athens." He said the restaurant will employ 54 people . .

Meigs County Treasurer Howard Frank said cuts in assistance from the state will contin ue to add to Meigs County 's financial woes, and said he doesn't expect the financial condition of the county to improve for at least five years. As revenue from state assistance and the county 's local sales tax remains low, the cost of funding state mandates, such as the local share of public assistance and public defender services, continue to increase. "State mandates are the worst thing that can happen to local gov- ernments, and those mandates, com- sana! property tax collection continbined with cuts in local govern ment ues at approximately $2 million per assistance from the state, are goi ng year, generating only about $10,000 to make the going tough for Meigs annually in additional revenue.

Martin said. Originally planned as a 150-to- 175 bed jail, with space available for lownsk federal prisoners, the project is now envisioned as a 70-bed facility to meet a growing need for jail space the current county lockup can't meet. "You find that it' s only a matter of time, " said Martin. "There's only so much you can do with an old facility, and the state mandates a lot of what I do with the jail." The regional jail concept arose in 200 I and has been discussed by the county with Integrated Correctional Services International Inc., Atlanta, Ga., a consulting firm that developed a plan showing the need for more jail space in Gallia. The current jail was opened in the late 1950s with a capacity for I 8 prisoners. The maximum has increase d to 24, Martin said.
