We wrote e-mails back and forth and fell in love. You really changed my life, Abby. I just want to say thank you. God bless. WALKING ON AIR IN LIMA, PERU DEAR WALKING: Congratulations - that's wonderful· news. Since the program began in 1967, there have been many romances and marriages between couples who met through Operabon Dear Abby. My partnership with the Dear Abby ADVICE De~tofDefun~isnow year-round, and I'm pleased to say that since December 2001, more than 2 million messages of support have been ~nt to our troops stationed around the world. And it's all due to my caring readership. · P.S. The Web address is www.OperationDearAbby.net. Let's keep those messages of support coming! · UEAR ABBY: I am a 30something single woman dating "Chuck," who is kind and thoughtful. We have been seeing each other nearly four months. Chuck is a great guy, but there is one big problem. He is very hairy. His. chest and back are covered with long, dark, thick body hair. It is a real tum-off, and it prevents nne from being physically attracted to him. In all other ways, Chuck is a wonderful man -sweet. generous and compassionate. He has been hinting recently that he would like a long-term relationship. I don't want to hurt his feelings or his ~If-esteem. Do I have the right to bring up hair removal? NOT WILD ABOUT HAIRY DEAR NOT: If you like everything aboUt Chuck except the fact that he has a fur coat, it's time to level with him. Semi-permanent hair removal can be accomplished with a J~r these days - and many people avail themselves of it. You have nothing to Jose and everything to gain by speaking up. DI<:AR ABBY: My husband and I are professionals in our 50s. We dress well and are average looking. Our problem is, no matter which restaurant we fre- quent, we are often~ next to the kitchen or work station. It happens wllt-'ther we are together or al<''le, with or without reservations, in the United States or Canada. It doesn't seem to mattq. At one restaurant. I requested "a seat away from the kitchen," but wondered why this was necessary. If my husband and I looked and acted like slobs, I would understand. Your thouEhts, pi=. -MINDING OUR MANNERS IN SASKATCHEWAN DEAR MINDING OUR MANNERS: The tables you havl! mentioned are usually the least desirable in a restaurant. If you are shown to a table you don't like, speak up and say the table is not acceptable and you would like to be seated el~­ where. When you make your reservations, request a table in the area you prefer. I'm sure you' II be accommodated. DEAR ABBY: I'm being manied soon, and one of my good mends suggested that a friend of hers do my makeup for the wedding. Her friend volunteered to help, and it's a wonderful gesture. If I have her do my makeup, should I invite her· to the wedding? Or should I thank her and give her a nice gift? I need 1 Buddy 5 Crater edge advice,_~llbY· - CONFUSED IN KENTUCKY DEAR CONFUSED: Before making any commitment, have the fiiend do a "practice makeup" on you. It would be a disaster, if, just before the ceremony, you realized her artistry wasn't up to your standards. That said, if you take her up on her generous offer, why not do all three thank her, invite her, and mark the occasion with a token gift.

Holzer Medical Center is in the process of installing McKesson Automation's ROBOT-RxTM, a centralized robotic drug distribution system that automates the stomge, retrieval and dispensing of unit dose, bar coded inpatient medications, implementing multiple safety checks in the system. With the system, the "robot" will dispense from the Hospital's inpatient pharmacy, allowing the nurse to obtain medications from the new equipment and dispensing at the patient's bedside. The overall outcome allows for a "high tech-high touch" manner of care that allows the nurse and other healthcare professionals to spend more time with the patient, while at the same time, improving the technology and safety of medication dispersion. The system is widely recognized in the healthcare industry for its accurdCy in the prevention of medication errors: In Ohio alone, more than 20 systems are working in hospitals across the state. To date, ROBOT-Rx has dispensed more than 45 million doses without a single error. Hospitals using the robotic system have also achieved reduced inventory and labor costs, resulting in significant savings. "The ROBOT-Rx is an investment in patient safety and good nursing care. It is just one piece of a barcode system that we will implement over the next two years," said Craig Kimble, PhannD., MBA, MS. System Director of Phannacy Services for Holzer Health Systems. "The advancement in technology ROBOT-Rx provides positions us to the forefront of providing very good quality healthcare. allowing nurses to spend more time at the bedside with our patients." McKessonAutomation, a business of the McKesson Health Systems Group. is a Pittsburghbased finn that manufactures and markets phannacy and medical supply automation systems that help health care institutions reengineer their medication-use process to increase cost savings and improve the quality of care. Holzer Medical Center is a 246-bed Slate-of~the-art medical facility located in Gallipolis, Ohio.

But rarely has there been such a gap between promise and reality as there is in the U.S. role in fighting AIDS in the developing world. In January, Bush asked Congress to commit $15 billion over the ne~t five years, including nearly '$10 billion in new money, "to turn the ude against AIDS in the mpst affiicted nations of Africa and the Caribbean." · ... "The new money is above and beyond aid requests in the current budget I submitted to CongresJ'.'' Bush declared. "I <:arry this commitment in my soul." Those daring foreign·folicy commitments now are melting away under the heat o . congressional budget wheeling and dealing- and a lack ofWhite House follow-up .... Bush is preparing to go.on a tour of Africa next week. If he wants to arrive armed with more than half-empty 'jlromi ses, he must press Congress to deliver on the funds it authorized in the U.S. Leadership agamst AIDS Act and the Mtllenmum Challenge Account, and make the necessary appointments to administer those funds. The president laid out some courageous foreign policy initiatives. Now is the time for him and the Congress to deltver. "'We won," declared lsrael:s top general last week. Or so a headline in the mass-circulation daily Yediot Ahronot quoted him as saying. Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon has a reputation for clumsy politi· cal pontificating, and his lat· est remark about Palestinian agreement to a cease-fire seemed like the usual hubris. Until, that is, one read the full text of his interview in the paper. " I imagine that the Palestinian story will describe this period as heroic, just as the Egyptians celebrate the Yom Kippur War," Ya'alon said. "So in their story they won. and in our story we won. Right now we need ... to declare we won and move on." That's actually an admis· sion that any triumph is empty. The Yom Kippur War of 1973 was claimed as a vic· tory by both Israel and Egypt, but both sides knew they'd lost and couldn't afford another confrontation . Along with six years of U.S . diplomatic effort, the result was a peace treaty. Today, too, Mideast diplo· macy can be described as a game of loser's poker. Israel, the Palestinians and, for that matter, the United States are claiming military triumphs as they return to negotiations. Yet diplomacy stands a chance only if the leaders on all three sides remember that they're bluffing and that their strategies for political gains through war have failed. It's been nearly three years since the peace negotiations collapsed and Palesti~ian s returned to armed struggle. Today most of their cities·· freed of Israeli troops during the Oslo process--are reoccupied. More than 2,000 Palestinians have died, and the living are hungry. Key Palestinian demands enshrined in the internationally backed "road map" to peace come down to a return to the September 2000 statusquo l\llte : A pullback of the Israeli army to the lines it held then; dismantling of settlements established since. A new generation of Palestinians has acquired its own myth of standing up to occupation--but has accomplished nothing . Yet Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's effort to stop Palestinian terrorism through military means also has failed. Dozens of leaders of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the AI-Aqsa Brigades have been assassinated--and quickly replaced. After all of Israel's offensives, a . suicide bomber blew up in downtown Jerusalem last month, adding 17 people to the hundreds of Israeli victims of this connie!. And Israel's army is weaker, because the country's economic collapse has forced cuts in defense spending . Sharon insisted he wouldn't begin diplomacy while terrorism continued. Yet to gain a cease-fire, he had to agree to the road map, with its list. of ' GEORG£5 WlNTt'R ToYS ••• Israeli concessions. George W. Bush had his own hopes of ending the Mideast terror through war. The United States easily con· q uered Iraq--and a new Arab myth of armed resistance to Western imperialists is being created before our eyes in Baghdad and Fallujah. To stabilize a strategic region, and to give himself a foreign-pol· icy accomplishment, Bush has turned to intensive Israeli· Palestinian diplomacy--the Clinton strategy he so disdained. But loser's poker is a game no one j>lays ·with gusto. Sharon has made weak gestures at dismantling the tiny settlement "outposts" that cover the West Bank, and agreed to release less than 10 percent of Palestinian prisoners. Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas roped terrorist groups into a cease-fire--but has nothing yet to collect their guns, mis· siles and explosives. And so far; tight U.S. supervision is a weak promise, far short of a credible threat. No one seems ready to .take the politically risky steps needed to build a cease-fire into peace. One key reason: The leaders are SUJl'Ounded by ideo· logues who haven't absorbed failure. Sharon, hardly excited about the road map himself. can barely muster a majority in his own Cabinet for the minimal effort he's making. Abbas acknowledges the intifada has been dis· atrous, but he's a lonely voice in the Palestinian leadership. In Washington, hawks still reign. The common Israelis who have to ride buses to work, daily braving the . bombers, don't sit at the con- . ference tables , nor do the · common Palestinians who have lost their livelihoods and who must brave humiliation at roadblocks to reach the next town. If they did, many would tell the leader what they tiredly say to each other: For heaven's sake, compromise, so we can go back to · living. So it's all too easy for the leaders to grab the first excuse to drop the road map. An incident such as Monday . night's suicide bombing that . killed an Israeli woman in an · Israeli village could set off Israeli and spiraling Palestinian reprisals--and provoke Washington to say, "See, · we tried," and give up. This · kind of crisis will repeat. Sharon, Bush, Abbas and those around them will get through it and continue with peace efforts only if they constantly keep in mind that war got them nowhere. Huinan beings are strange creatures. They'll try peace, it seems, only after they've tried everything else. In the Mideast, that's what has hap-. pened. Loser's poker is the' only game left. · (Gorenberg, an associate: editor of the Jerusalem Report. · is the author of "The End of Days: Fundamentalism and the Struggle for the Temple Moullt.

By declining to decide a l stj \mendment case concemmg the public statements of athletic gear icon Nike Inc., the U.S. Supreme Court took an unwelcome pass on a broad and dis· turbing challenge to the fundamental right of free speech.. The case stem s from a lawsuit a California man filed agamst Nike, alleging that the multinational corporation made· inac· curate statements in defending its overseas labor pract1ces. The California high court ruled that the suit could go forward under'a state law meant to guard against false advertising. That Nike's positions on labor issues woiild invite disagree· ment is hardly surprising. ... · What defies reason is why the courts should be commandeered as a venue for deciding this sort of policy dispute. Such suits risk elevating honest political disagreements to courthouse ve ndettas--precisely the sort of thing the I st Amendment ought to prevent. ... The riglit to self-expression does not let companies like Nike off the hook if the y do engage in shady labor practices overseas. On the contrary, Nike's critics !110uld pursue that issue vigorously in whatever public forum they choose.

(304) 675-1333 extension 29 Ola E. Roach Saddam had clear strategy, US. needs one BY JAMES KLURFELD los Angeles Times With each report of a dead· ly ambush on U.S. military forces in Iraq, it becomes clearer that Saddam Hussein had a last-resort strategy: If you can't stop the Americans, at least fade into the population to fight a guerrilla war. Inflict enough pain over a long period so that the Americans, with a notoriously short attention span, will eventually cut and run . Isn't that exactly how the Americans reacted in Lebanon after the bombing of the Marine barracks and in Somalia after the Mogadishu attack? Isn't that what happened, on a much larger scale, in Vietnam? There's already a lot of haQd-wringing going ·on here about this turn of events. Support for the war has begun to decline in polls. Democrats are just waiting to pounce on President Bush's mistakes.' And there are cred· ible reports that some of the troops, who have been in Iraq for months now, are discouraged because they have no idea when they are coming home or what their mission is now. United States forces are being killed almost every day, and even less lethal attacks are slowing plans to turn logistical tasks over, to civilians and get Iraq back to normal. The Bush administration is falling too far behind the curve of events. It drastically underestimated the postwar difticulties it would face in rebuilding Iraq . The triumphant images ·of Commander-in-Chief Bush landing on an aircraft carrier gave the American people exactly the wrong impression. The president should be explaining why the United States has a long, tough task in front of it. He began to do that in a recent speech, but that must be the beginning of the effort to shape and shore up public opinion, not the end. A just-released report by the Council on Foreign Relations says that the admini~tration must develop a much clearer political vision and strategy and explain to the American people what the risks and costs of U.S. engagement in Iraq will be. That is the only · way to counter Saddam' s guerrilla strategy. The case for staying the course in Iraq is clear: The Uhited States has vit&l inter· ests in that part qf the world. And, having invaded another nation to prote,c t those interests, Washington now has a significant and deep obligation to make things right there . Anything less is going to be a disaster. · Iraq is certainly not Lebanon or Somalia. Both of those commitments, made with great reluctance, were motivated by a sense of moral obligation, not vital interests. They were designed as limit· ed actions with limited objectiveS. And Vietnam is not an apt analogy because the guerrillas, the Vietcong , had an independent base from which to operate, Nonh Vietnam, and big power supporters, the Soviet Union and China. The analogy that should be more worri some to the administration is the Briti sh experience in Iraq and in other nations after World War I. The British were viewed a,s a colonial power bent on exploiting the country for its own purposes. No matter how much the United States insists that it is not a colonial power, no matter how pure we say our motives are, if the Iraqis see us as a colonial power that will be the reality to them. Nations view history through different prisms . ..,_ That is why the Council on . Foreign Relations Report also says that the burden for overseeing Iraq must be broadened, including a bigger role for the United Nations, and the communication with the Iraqi people must be more effective. This is not the time for hand-wringing about how everything is going wrong in Iraq. It is not. There is also a lot that is goingright. Bu1 Saddam, whether he is dead or alive, is not total Iy defea~­ ed yet. There is still a military thr.eat and it is impeding Washington's plan ·for rebuilding Iraq. The administration must recognize it and be honest with the Americall people about it. , ( Klurfeld is editor of Newsday's editorial pages.) Local Briefs Baptist Churcli in Pomeroy.

Seeing the kids play and watching parents and fan s cheer them on is one of the things that really brings back a lot of memories about growing up in the tri -county area in the early 1990s. Naturally, one of the most memorable things for me, especially liS a youngster playing little league, was being able to panicipate in the Kyger Creek Little League Tournament. The tournament was always a big deal to everyone .., because we played at the fie lds · located near the Gallipolis Water Treatment Plant. which didn ' t have fences. a grandstand or adequate bleachers. However, the · field at Kyger Creek had nice bleachers, a permanent wall ringing the field, and a PA systetp that announced the players before each game. I remember the first year I went to the tournament I thought that there was no possible way that anyone my age co uld hit a ball over the tence at Kyger Creek. Then, to my surprise, I saw a ball launched over the fence in th e game right before ours and it gave me a Andre Tirado RAMBLINGS little bit of hope th at it might even be possible for a skinny kid l.ike me . Not surprising ly, there were no home runs for' me in our game: but I do distinctivel y remember being in awe of the fact that there were so many peo ple watching us play.

Terms were not disclosed. Abdull ah had 28 sacks and two 100-yard interception returns while at the North Carolina school. He is the fourth of nine Bengals draft choices to sign for 2003 . Also sig ned are 4uarterback Carson Palmer of Southern Calif9rnia, the first-round pick; defensive tackle Langston Moore of South Carol ina, the sixthround pick; and offensive tackle Scott Koois tra of Nonh Carolina State, the seventh-rou nd selection. The Bengals open training camp July 27 at Georgetown College in Georgetown, Ky. What I remember the most was being out there on the field thinking th!it all eyes were on me, and I tried as hard as I could to play well. I think that's something that the young players get from this tournament more than anything else. At Kyger Creek, they get to be the stars on the field alld get all of the attention from the fans, other players and coaches. It's a nice reward for a long season and an experience that will surely bring back many fond memories from years of playing little league ba~eball. · (Andre Tirado is a sportswriter for the Point Pleasant Register.

As the game went on, I finally settled down and began to get comfortable. However, I never forgot the feeling of having a big crowd cheer you on after a summer of having our parents as the main spectators. It made me kind of nervous to see people in the stands that came to actually be entertained. To tell you the truth, I don't eve n remember the name of the team that we played or the score. I do remember that we lost, but that wasn' t really the point.

DALLAS (AP) - Alonzo Mourning will sign a freeagent contract with the New Jersey Nets next week, Dallas owner Mark Cuban said Friday.

Associated Press Associated Press ii>aturliap m:intrs -ii>rntinrl • Page 7 Pomeroy • 'Middleport • Gallipolis • Point Pleasant EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ. Jason Kidd agreed to a six-year, $99 million deal to stay with the New Jersey Nets on Friday, r~jecting an offer from the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs. Since arriving via trade two years ago , the AllStar point guard trans formed the Nets from an also-ran into a two -time co nference champion. "After great thought and con sultation with the important people in my life, I have decided that I want to remain a New Jersey Net," Kidd said. Kidd' s deci s ion came the same . day that word emerged that center Alonzo Mourning would join the Nets as a free agent. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban• said in an email to th e AP that Mourning wouldn't sign with Dallas and instead had chosen New Jersey. Nets spokesman A would not confirm the deal, and a call to Mourning 's agent, Jeffrey Wechsler, was not immediately returned . Mourning can ' t officially sign with the Nets until Wednesday, nor can Kidd . Kidd and his family visited San Antonio this week. and his agent said Kidd would make a decision by the start of next week. The player made his choice known sooner - · and just 24 hours after there were reports he wanted the Nets to get rid • of coach Byron Scott. On Thursday, Nets : president and general manager Rod , Thorn denied published reports Kidd demanded Scott be fired. Kidd averaged team high s of 18.7 points and • 8.9 assists, plus 6.3 rebounds, and made his sixth All-Star game appearance this season. He also averaged 20.1 points, 8.2 assists and 7. 7 rebounds in the postseason, helping New Jersey reach the NBA Finals . ( 2003 Olds Alero Sedan Air Cottditfotttttg. Cnbo Control.
