Nice guys

cleaning and cooking. She is over
30 and this is her third doomed
relationship.
Throughout the years, our
heroes have always been a little
bad. While Scarlett O’Hara, be
lieved herself in love with the
quiet, staid Ashley Wilkes, every
woman in the audience knew the
man for her, the one who would put
fire and passion into her life was
the sardonic, charming scoundrel
Rhett Butler. In fiction the nice
guy, who falls hopelessly in love
with the beautiful heroine, never
has a chance against the rogue,
who always treats the lady, at least
at the beginning, as less than a
lady.
Casanova, the legendary charla
tan, was famous for his daring
escapades and numerous love af
fairs. Another cavalier adventurer
Don Juan, was as well known for
his female conquests as for his
daring acts of bravery.
So why are bad men so success
ful with women? Is it that we
believe, we can tame them, that we
can be the one to succeed where
don’t finish last
others before us have not? It
happens often enough, that I
suppose it has given some credence
to the idea. Love has toppled even
the mightiest Samson.
Or is there still, despite our
emergence, despite our strength,
some reason that women feel this is
their due. Have some long time
notions become so ingrained
through time and circumstance that
we can’t yet fully believe we don’t'
deserve this? On the extreme side
of the pattern, we hear daily of
women who are victims of spousal
assault, who believe they are to
blame, that in some way they are
responsible for whatever caused
this senseless, moronic abuse.
Even more horrific is that most will
be beaten more than 30 times
before they will leave.
Fortunately, while this is
happening more than we’d like to
admit, it is not the norm. For most
of us, our experiences have left us,
at the least wiser, and at the worst,
bitter.
Though most of us will encounter
a cavalier rogue at some point in
our life, one who will treat us
shamefully and shamelessly, for
the majority it is thankfully
valuable learning experience. Thus
it’s reassuring to know that in the
end, when it comes to building a
life with someone important,
generally nice guys don’t finish
last.
Women need

some other counties as far as day
care facilities are concerned. These
women desperately need the sup
port of their families and communi
ties to allow them to fulfill the
multiple roles that are demanded of
them right now. What are you or
your community doing about it?
We’d be pleased to hear from
anyone who has suggestions or has
concerns about these problems.

Civic Holiday was not the best
for people camping out, let alone
for the farmers. It has turned so
cool. Our summer is half over and
seems more like fall.
Many attend
25th anniversary
