r? Winston-Salem Chronicle Ask Yolonda Should ex-bo> be taken serio By YOLONDA GAYLES Syndicated Columnist Dear Yolnnda: I'm a young woman of 25 with.a problem. I tot wntr w fwMee roi ?> umnist, but I need a second opinion. I dated a guy for four years. He couldn't hold a job, and really didn't want very mucloout of life, so we broke up. Now I am happy and dating someone else, but my former boyfriend seems to be hellbent on making my life miserable. He doesn't like the fact that I have gotten myself together without him. He tells everyone how wrong I was for leaving him when he stuck with me for so many years. The last time I saw him he even threatened to kill me or any man he sees me with. Lately, things have gotten worse. About a week ago, he came by my home \ and rang the door bell for about half an ^ much^ concernYolonda What should I do? I can't hide from him forever. Would you take him seriously? My brother says he's bluffing. " Lenora Dear Lenora: Yes, and so would the police. You see, they know that many of those senseless killings seen nightly on the news spawn from similar bluffs. ?~-I urge you to consider filing a legal complaint. Your friend needs help, but you need legal protection. i_ /\ m.a nurvn uver iviarnage Dear Yolonda: My wife and I have been married for 18 years.

Hollywood Today Billy Dee W By VINCENT TUBBS Syndicated Columnist Sex symbol BUly Dee Williams will become gorgeous Diahann Carroll's wealthy estranged husband (a record mogul) this fall on TV's hottest nighttime soap, "Dynasty," rubbing shoulders with Joan Collins and Linda Evans and those other filthy rich Denver video characters. Rumor has it that Diahann is going to reveal she is kin to Blake Carrington (like she said) and will disclose how and why that happens to be? . ? i i _ _ r While Hollywood was an a-squeaK a coupie 01 weeks ago, celebrating the 55th year in show business for Mickey Mouse, you may have missed the fact that Las Vegas was celebrating, at the same time, the 55th anniversary in showbiz for Sammy Davis Jr. It took a whole week, during which a 90-minute TV special was made, with all of Sam's friends entertaining him (for a change), and it culminated in an all-night reception at which BUI Cosby was one of the star hosts.... The good news on Page 1 is that pretty Jennifer I We el The Arts, Leisure, I ^friend's threats usly by woman? became involved in a church that evidently does not believe in the family. Since joining this churchv my-wife-much -rnore- involved in lire - church and^rer church members than she is with m#? anH rtnr cnn m m m??w v va i iJVil i Before joining her church, my wife used to go places with me. Now, if alcohol is being served, she refuses to go. She has never met my boss or any of my other co-workers because she only wants to associate with other church members. Additionally, she has turned our frontroom into an altar. When you step into our living room, the first thing you see is a five-foot statue. I can't stand the change that has taken over my wife since joining her religion. Whenever I try to talk to her about this, she tells me that she's being directed by God. My son is embarrassed by his mother, too. He refuses to bring any of his friends to the house because of the atmosphere. He also has told me that, as soon as he reaches 18 (next year), he intends to leave home, even if it means joining the Army. He has told me that he would understand if I decided to get a girlfriend, but I would never do that. We live in a rather small town, and my wife would find out. <c , / 1 don't know what would happen if I ever left my wife. I don't know how she would take care of herself. What should I do? E.E.R. Dear E.E.R: It's been my practice not to in terfere in religious customs, so I won't start with you. Most religions, however, have counseling programs for spouses and family members who are non-members. Call and find out if her denomination offers such a program. I must admit that your wife's religious customs have piqued my curiosity. Write back and give me the name of her faith, and let me know if her religion offers some help to you and your son.
