He had a serious booze problem, was a terrible father, and alienated all my friends and relatives. Eventually, he left me for his secretary. "Council Bluffs" should adore her homely husband because he treats her well and has good character. If she cannot do this, she should find someone as shallow as she is, and let that terrific guy go.

Stroudsburg, Pa. Dear Stroudsburg: Women who marry for good looks or money are in the same leaky boat as men who make that same mistake. Men can get bald, women can get fat, both can get wrinkled, and the money picture can change overnight. Marriages built on true love, mutual interests, respect and the willingness to weather the storms together are destined to succeed. Gem of the Day (From David Broome in Mesa, If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Those goofy suggestions on how to keep cats out of your flower garden must have come from readers who hate cats. That mousetrap suggestion created a firestorm of criticism, and I was told how mothball are dangerous and wire mesh can pull out a cat's claws. But painting under a cat's tail with turpentine brought the cat lovers to their feet screaming for my scalp. Believe me; folks, there will be no more cat letters for quite a while.

I'm sticking with mon-keys. Dear Ann Landers: This is in response to "Council Bluffs, Iowa," who was married to a terrific guy, but said she wasn't attracted to him sexually because he wasn't good-looking. She said he was a devoted father and a hardworking, kind, loving person. After 11 years of marriage, she thought his appearance shouldn't matter, but she was becoming obsessed with the fact that he wasn't better looking. She has her priorities messed up.

I was married to a great- ly printed a column listing various "solutions" for getting rid of stray cats that wander into flower gardens. Please know that some of the solutions you listed are downright cruel. Setting out mousetraps and. painting the underside of a cat's tail with turpentine can cause a great deal of harm. We understand that you do not condone these solutions, but the fact that they appeared in print might encourage people to try them.

While we recognize that roaming animals can be a nuisance, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals suggests managing the problem by contacting your local humane organization or animal control agency for guidance. Often, roaming animals have an owner who should be held accountable for the done by their pets. Also, they may be violating local, animal control leash laws. If nuisance animals are strays, local rescue groups or humane societies may be able to offer help in a way that is compassionate. The ASPCA believes that do- ANN LANDERS Advice Columnist mestic animals should never be allowed to wander loose to become injured, lost, killed or a nuisance to others.

Encourage your readers to go the extra mile to solve their animal problems humanely. Anyone who would like more information can write to the ASPCA's Public Information 424 E. 92nd New York, N.Y. 10128 or visit our Web site at www.aspca.org. Larry M.

Creators Syndicate, 5777 W. Century Los wigeies, i Duodenal diverticulum is a harmless condition mm- 1 1 I 3 lb I I Id 19 mo T3 Jl 15 16 jl 16 119 120 21 22 1 24 125 126 27 2U 129 30" 31 1 33 34 35 36" 37 3B 40 41 42 143 44 4- 47 Dear Dr. Gotfc I was recently diagnosed with a duodenal diverticulum. This sounds serious. Should I worry? Dear Reader: The duodenum is the first part of the small in testine, an area just beyond the stomach.

A diverticulum is simply an outpouching. Therefore, you have a little sac that protrudes outward from the lining of the small bowel. This is an entirely harmless condition that should cause you no symptoms, other than occasional maldigestion; it can safely be ignored. In rare instances, diverticula in any part of the intestine can bleed, but this is rarely of clinical significance. I suggest that you meet with your doctor to review the situation and obtain more information.

Dear Dr. Gott: I am a your heart. The good news is that the condition can be treated even cured, for the time being. Arterial blockage is diagnosed by examination and special tests, such as arteriography, that show exactly where the obstructions are, Then they can be treated with angioplasty or by? pass surgery. Of course, to prevent further accumulation of arteriosclerotic plaque, you will need to alter your life pattern by stopping cigarettes exercising regularly, obtaining therapy for a high cholesterol level (if that is a problem), taking an aspirin a day (to prevent blood clots) and adhering to the advice of your doctors.

Readers can write to Dr. Gott in care of Newspaper Enterprise 200 Madison NewYork, NY 10016. Dear Reader: Without question. The symptom you describe is entirely consistent with a condition known medically as claudication. As you exercise, your muscles demand more oxygen which, because of blockage, your arteries are unable to supply.

Of course, my instant diagnosis needs confirmation by a medical examination (with special attention to your lower extremities) and further testing. Unless I miss my guess, your doctor will discover that you have arterial narrowing probably caused by arteriosclerosis which is preventing adequate perfusion of blood to your legs. The bad news is that this is age-related, worsened by your smoking and may reflect significant arterial blockage in your other arteries, especially those to DR. PETER GOTT Advice Columnist 67-year-old man who, I confess, smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. For the past six months, I have experienced back, buttock and left-leg pain when walking short distances, even as little as a city block.

If I rest, the cramping disappears. What is this? Should I see a doctor? 9-18 IGLKN-TV ups news presence with midday program Replacing McCartney at Sweet 98 is Darrin Stone, a DJ from Mobile, who joins McCartney's old partner Wayne Coy. The WB tTime Warner channel 15) will premiere its fall Friday night lineup this week getting a jump on the other networks who are waiting for the Olympics to end before starting their fall programming. "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" moves from ABC and into the 7 p.m slot. It will be followed by the new comedy satire "Grosse Pointe" at 7:30 p.m.

Pat Miller works the 3-6 p.m. shift and is followed by Mark Taylor, who works 6 p.m.

to midnight Taylor comes to B107 from Three Edgles Communications, where he worked at KFOR (1240 AM) and 95 Rock (KRKR 95.1 FM). Sweet 98 morning show co-host Max McCartney has left the Omaha station (KQKQ 98.5 FM) to become the new morning co-host and program director at Omaha's The City (KCTY 106.9 FM). He joins Nikki Boulay, a Denver DJ who worked at the former Edge (KGDE 101.9 FM). The City's former morning show hosts, Marv Cross and Monty Eich, have been reassigned ports from experts in certain fields such as a financial analyst and child psychologist "We want this to be content driven," Haggar said Around the dial B107 (KEZG 107.3 FM) nearly has its on-air personalities in place. Tim Peters and Suzette started as the station's new morning show am.) hosts last Monday.

Peters is a former longtime Wichita radio personality, while Su-zette's resume includes stints at The Blaze (KIBZ 106.3 FM) and KLKN-TV. The midday (10 p.m.) KLKN-TV has gone from toddler to tot, as evidenced by the addition last week of a midday newscast Hie 4-year-old Lincoln station (Time Warner channel 8) launched its 1130 a.m. half-hour news program Sept 11 with morning show hosts Peggy Moyer and Kevin Cosk-ren at the anchor desk. KLKN moved the soap opera "Port Charles" from its 11:30 am. time slot to If am to accommodate the change.

"All My Children" follows at nooa News Director Mark Haggar said the station's midday news is unique for an ABC affiliate. Most tend not to interrupt the soap opera lineup. Omaha's KETV (channel 7) also has news at midday. "We've found in attracting an audience, it's been our news coverage for us," Haggar said. The addition puts KLKN on par with KOLNKGIN.

Both have five dairy newscasts. The station also offers two newscasts on Saturdays and Sundays one more each day than its Lincoln counterpart. KLKN, owned by Citadel Communications, started operation in March 1996 with the 6 and 10 p.m. news, and slowly has added the three other newscasts morning, late afternoon and, now, midday over the years. Its newsroom staff has increased from 16 to 21.
