I ATTENDED THE MEETING
held for those wishing to keep
Bishop O’Reilly opened last week.
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.

“AUNT
PA
DEAR AUNT PATTY:
My husband has been steadily
getting fatter since we were mar-
ried seven years ago. 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.
Should I keep on trying to get him
to come back to me or should I just

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.
