Although enrollment numbers are down, I, like many others, am thrilled to see the board of pastors has reached a decision to keep the school operating. A lot can be said for a small school, where students and faculty really know each other; where students are able to receive the individual attention they need. Of course, financial considerations enter into the picture, but I'm glad the pastors have listened to the concerns of the parents of Bishop O'Reilly students and have agreed to keep the school opened. ‘0- MR.

He used to be a trim size 34 but now he bulges out of his size 40’s. He gets angry and really pigs out when I tease him about his love handles and bulges and no matter how much I beg him to slow down, he continues his binges. What can I do besides hiding all the chips, cookies, and ice cream? I normally double the portions of our meals so I’ll have leftovers to reheat easily but now I’m beginning to realize we seldom have leftovers anymore. Just his appearance doesn’t bother me too much but I’m worried about what all that extra flab is doing to his health. Can you suggest where I can start to help this handsome but hefty man of mine? W., DALLAS DEAR W.: First you should begin by not tive way. It will only cause him to feel worse and then he’ll eat more. More praise equals less pounds. Make some basic changes in his diet. Prepare more fruits, vegeta- bles, and whole grains. Use low-fat dairy products - often you won’t know the difference. Serve more chicken and fish and less red meats. Avoid processed foods because often you don’t know what is in them. Don’t bring junk foods into the house regularly. Prepare foods using less fats and oils. Read some low calorie recipe books that will teach you how to prepare tasty but less fattening foods. Prepare only enough food for each particiualr meal to avoid overeating. Encourage ‘your hubby to get involved in some sport or exercise program he may enjoy or just begin by taking walks together. Read al the information you see concerning the Ok Heart project. They are offering many excellent tips on how to improve our health and diet. DEAR AUNT PATTY: My daughter’s piano teacher is something else! Three out of four lessons she calls at the last moment to say she is too busy, her car is broken down, or she has ‘a terrible headache. She also cancels lessons when it is raining, on days that fall on the thirteenth of the month, and when she thinks her lottery number will be drawn that day. In the past three months my daughter has had four lessons. Also my daughter seldom prac- tices and doesn’t seem to take her music seriously. Do you think I should discontinue her lessons? We’re having a big argument about it and I don’t know what to do. HAD IT DEAR HAD IT: Give your daughter a second chance and get a different piano teacher. The one you have now is teaching your daughter a lot more than how to play the piano. She is teaching her disrespect, irresponsi- bility, and laziness. DEAR AUNT PATTY: My boyfriend and I recently broke up. I was very much in love with him and he loved me, too. Every- thing seemed perfect between us. We even talked about getting mar- ried, how many children we’d like to have, what our life would be like, ete. Things started falling apart when other people started interfering in our lives. They would tell me if my boyfriend went somewhere without me, or they’d make sure to tell him if I went out somehwere. I wasn’t dating anyone else, but sometimes I'd go to a party by myself or with friends when he had to work. After several months of interfer- ence from others, we broke up. He told me he still loves me, but he couldn’t take the pressure of my nagging him whenever anyone told me they’d ssen him out without me. 1 want to give it another try, but he says he won’t because there just isn’t any point.

MISSING HIM DEAR MISSING HIM: I think you should let go of the idea of trying to get him back and accept being just his friend. It’s difficult enough to make a relation- ship work when two people are working on it together. But when only one person is interested and willing to put forth the necessary effort, it’s really a no-win situation. DEAR AUNT PATTY: My seven year old son had a myringotomy (tubes inserted in his ears) several months ago. He must avoid getting water in his ears. Therefore, when he goes swimming he must wear special ear plugs and a bathing cap. He is embarrassed to be the only guy with a bathing cap. What can I do to help him cope with Award made this situation? DEAR C.M.: The easiest thing to do would be to avoid water activities this summer. By next summer, his ears will probably be healed and he can get back in the water. Or take him swimming in the presence of his family and close friends who under- stand his ear problem and will accept him.
