THE SHERIDAN Press Comics 6 Thursday, September 4, 2003 OR BETTER or FOR WORSE® by Lynn Johnston Dr. Gott Dr. Peter Gott MARY WORTH by John Saunders and Joe Giella ORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom ARFIELD by Jim Davis RANK & ERNEST® by Bob Thaves EX MORGAN, M.D. by Woody Wilson and Tony DiPreta ITS® by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman ILBERT by S. Adams ALLEY OOP® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender Please be advised that this column frankly discusses sexual intimacy. DEAR DR. GOTT: Can you help put to rest a debate that has been in our marriage for 20 years? What is the frequency of normal sex for a couple? I'm looking for an honest, reasonable answer. Is weekly, every other week or even once a month realistic? DEAR READER: After almost 40 years in practice, I'm still unable to give a consistent answer to this question, which I am often asked. There is simply too much individual variation in behavior. Most couples strike a balance that works for them, depending on their ages and personal needs. I know some couples in their 60s who enjoy sex several times a week. For them, this pattern is ideal; it suits them. On the other hand, I also know couples in their 30s and 40s who have sex once or twice a month. While this may not appeal much to the average person, they are happy with the arrangement. It goes without saying that younger people usually have more frequent sex than do middle-aged couples. But, over time, this pattern changes, because of age, familiarity, illness or other factors. Some people are more "sexy" than others, who can take it or leave it. Most adults vary in their sexual activity: less when they are stressed or tired, more when they are relaxed or on vacation. If pressed, I'd say that the majority of healthy, mid- DEAR ABBY: I'm writing to raise awareness about a serious and widespread problem -- student credit card debt. Young adults, who are often "credit card illiterate," are inundated with credit card offers once they set foot on college campuses. Parents need to understand that their college-bound teens will be able to obtain multiple credit cards even if they have no prior credit history, no employment and no cosigner. Many students then face life-altering consequences because of excessive credit card debt, such as dropping out of school, defaulting on school loans, or graduating with a poor credit rating or looming bankruptcy. Credit card debt can also cause psychological depression and contribute to lower GPAs and increased substance abuse. It is vital that parents educate their children about responsible credit card use BEFORE they leave for college. Financial literacy should also be taught in high schools so that young adults fully understand the costs of credit and the consequences of irresponsible credit card use. Students who graduate with poor credit ratings are likely to have difficulty renting apartments and receiving competitive-rate loans. They may even have limited employment opportunities. Thank you for sharing this important information with your readers. -- CAROL A. CAROLAN, Ph.D., CENTER FOR STUDENT CREDIT CARD EDUCATION INC. DEAR DR. CAROLAN: I hope both parents and students will heed dle-aged adults enjoy sex once or twice a week, on average. Understandably, there are many people whose patterns fall outside this average. This is not "abnormal." Couples who can't seem to agree on an appropriate schedule can often be helped by counseling. The important feature to remember, I suppose, is not the frequency of the sex act. Rather, it's the quality of the event and what it means to the participants. Mechanical, frequent sex is not as appealing to most of us as is the sensitive expression of emotional and physical closeness, reflecting respect, love and intimacy. Therefore, almost any pattern of frequency is "realistic." Sorry, that's the best I can do. Let's talk about a more manageable topic, such as how often people eat chocolate. To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report "Where to Find Sex Information." Other readers who would like a copy should send a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope and $2 to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title. DEAR DR. GOTT: Is it possible to remove abdominal fat and use it in another area of the body, such as the calves of the legs? I suppose this is more a daydream than a possibility, but I'm interested in your opinion. DEAR READER: Body fat can be transplanted from one part of the body to another, much as any tissue can, providing appropriate blood circulation is maintained. Fat transplants are not routinely performed because there is no reason to do so. Fat cannot masquerade as muscle; hence, most reconstructive surgery to accentuate the chest and legs utilizes prosthetic material, such as silicone or plastic molds filled with water. Dear Abby Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips your message. An important lesson learned last year by a college senior bears repeating. Read on: DEAR ABBY: In my freshman year, I was bombarded with credit card applications promising great rates and free merchandise for signing up. I couldn't resist accepting, but promised myself I would use credit cards only for emergencies. I am now about to graduate and owe several thousand dollars on my credit cards and have nothing to show for it. If I pay only the minimum each month, it will take me 12 years to pay off what I owe. I wish I had been given the following tips: (1) Live within your means. (2) If you cannot pay cash for a meal at a restaurant, do not eat out. Eat at the school cafeteria or make a sandwich. (3) The new CD or DVD you want will still be around when you can afford it. Listen to the radio or rent a movie. (4) Rather than going to a club or movie with a group of friends, find inexpensive activities (like playing cards or board games) and spend your evening enjoying them. You'll be amazed at what you can save. (5) If your college offers a class on managing credit and credit cards -- take it! If you have already resolved never to rely on credit, it will reinforce that intelligent decision. I hope you deem this letter important enough to print, Abby. Credit card debt is a huge problem for many college students. I should know; I'm one of them. -- COL- LEGE SENIOR WHO LEARNED THE HARD WAY Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Scene THE SHERIDAN Press Thursday, 11 juveniles cited for MIP at party By Robert Waggener Staff reporter BIG HORN — Sheriff’s deputies have cited 11 juveniles for minor in possession of alcohol, and more citations are possible following Saturday night’s party in a home near here, according to Sheriff Dave Hofmeier. A concerned resident notified the sheriff’s office about the party shortly after midnight. When deputies arrived, Hofmeier said, the majority of the estimated 60 juveniles were able to scatter without being apprehended. “Some of the juveniles looked at the deputies and kept doing what they were doing, including finishing their drinks,” Hofmeier said.

Rundberg said he returned home Saturday night to find a home full of young people, which upset him. “They broke a window, and somebody stole a key off my keyboard to the computer,” Rundberg said. “I was trying to get people to leave, and then I left myself because I didn’t want the heat that it would put on me.” Rundberg said he wasn’t drinking at the party and had been back in the home for about 30 minutes before leaving.

They would tell the kids to find a sober driver and go home,” said Rundberg, who noted that he moved here three months ago. Informed that more than 10 Sheridan County young people have died in automobile crashes in less than two years, and several of the wrecks were alcohol-related, Rundberg replied, “I didn’t know that.” Rundberg said he wasn’t cited for Saturday’s incident. “I would kind of like to keep it that way. The party wasn’t exactly my idea,” Rundberg said. The 11 cases are pending in Sheridan Circuit Court.

Campbell County Hospital trustees under fire after CEO resignation GILLETTE (AP) — The four trustees who requested the resignation of Campbell County Memorial Hospital’s chief executive officer are taking some heat for their decision. Petitions calling for the reinstatement of Dave Crow have started circulating at the hospital and in the community, and some officials are questioning the legality of the decision last week. ‘‘It is ridiculous,’’ said trustee George Dunlap, one of two trustees who opposed Crow’s resignation. ‘‘All (the decision) does it create conflict. I can’t think of any problems (with Crow).’’ Trustee Timothy Hallinan also disagreed with Friday’s decision and has suggested it may have violated the board’s bylaws. According to Crow, hospital board chair Arlyn Magnuson and vice chair Bill Edenfield gave him a letter last Friday asking for his resignation by 4 p.m. that day. The letter stated trustees Aug. 18 • John White Woman, 42, Ashland, Mont., battery household member, $330, 180 days’ jail, defendant allowed to undergo inpatient treatment in lieu of jail. Aug. 19 • Toie Linda Conant, 39, no address listed, Sheridan, driving under the influence of alcohol, $880, 180 days’ jail, defendant allowed to undergo inpatient treatment in lieu of jail. Aug. 21 • Stephen F. Poulsen, 55, 715 Canby, Sheridan, DUI-alcohol, $430, 60 days’ jail suspended, one-year probation, obtain substance-abuse evaluation, attend victim-impact panel Sept. 16 at Sheridan College. wanted someone to ‘‘take them to the next level’’ and expressed their dissatisfaction with Crow’s leadership. It also detailed a substantial severance package that, Hallinan said, required formal approval by the board. The four trustees have argued the meeting was private and their decision informal, not an official vote. ‘‘My understanding is the formal contract that was given to Dave Crow should have been approved by resolution,’’ Hallinan said. ‘‘But there was no resolution because they say there was no vote.’’ Edenfield said he believed the board’s actions were legal. ‘‘I think it is,’’ he said. ‘‘Our legal counsel says it is.’’ Members of the community and hospital employees, however, have started their own campaigns to get Crow back. Resident David Jones first circulated a petition supporting Crow, which was soon followed by a similar document from nurse’s aide Faith Martin 7 September 4, 2003 Two people injured, a third arrested after two separate fights asking for Crow’s reinstatement. White and teal ribbons — the hospital’s colors — have also been distributed among staff members to show solidarity with Crow. ‘‘Nobody I’ve heard from is in favor of (the resignation),’’ Martin said. ‘‘Some have decided that they want to know more before they decide whether or not they’re in favor of it, but the general consensus is that it wasn’t right.’’ So far, Martin’s petition has drawn 227 signatures. She planned to deliver the petition to Hallinan once it made the rounds. Trustees have declined to give reasons behind their decision, but Dunlap and others say the rationale behind a vote of no confidence was inadequate. ‘‘The biggest problem everyone has now is that nobody knows anything, nobody’s being told anything and saying that it was a vote of no confidence isn’t enough,’’ Martin said.

Sweetwater officials upset over county pay GREEN RIVER (AP) — Elected Sweetwater County officials want changes in how county employee pay raises are awarded. County Treasurer Robb Slaughter and a number of other department heads confronted the Sweetwater County Commission on Tuesday about the lack of flexibility they have in giving pay raises. The county pay plan provides a pay scale for job duties and time employed. There is no provision for merit-based raises. ‘‘The rigidity of this pay plan has been so bad that the elected officials have had to ... manipulate the system to accomplish justifiable goals of rewarding good workers with pay raises,’’ County Attorney Harold Moneyhun said. ‘‘If there is manipulation, it’s the fault of the system.’’ Slaughter told the commissioners he will not approach human resources for future staff pay raises, nor will he inflate or add duties to staff job descriptions. He said the next time the raises are denied by County Clerk Bobbi Bailiff, he plans to sue the county commission. Moneyhun said the county commission has no authority to set policy for his office. County Commissioner Ted Ware suggested the elected officials and commissioners develop a pay plan that fits the needs of all. The county pay policy was developed to eliminate inequities among the departments, county director Bob Gordon said.
