r~ All my children By GLEN OZONEWOOD Of the Emerald Well, it looks like I was wrong. Kitty doesn’t have a brain tumor. Oh, that it was that simple. After a day of tests, the re sults are final: she’s got a dread disease (nobody has told us what it is yet) for which there is no cure, in fact no treatment. Line is taking the news as you’d expect (Kitty doesn’t know anything yet) and it looks like another long road of heartbreak for the couple that just wasn’t meant to be. Things aren’t looking real good for Line’s sister Ann, either. She and Paul are soon to leave for a three day vaca tion, but don’t be surprised if only one of them comes back. That old devil suicide is raising it’s ugly head again. Last week, Ann, staring wistfully at her pic ture of Beth, said, “Don’t be lonely baby. Mama will soon be with you.” While it’s hard to im agine they could write Ann out of the show, in the world of Pine Valley, stranger things have happened. Not that the Tyler family has a corner on pain and suffering. Phil is about to go out of his head ‘cause little Phillip is giv ing him so much grief. “The kid i hates me.” Things came to a head last week when little Phil climbed up on a chair and pul led Phil’s gun out of its holster. (The kid has been staring at that gun for a couple weeks now, and it’s still not dear ex actly what he’s got in mind, but Phil probably shouldn’t eat with his back to the door.) Anyway, when Phil came in and saw the gun, he was, as they say, pissed. Over the knee goes little Phil but as the hand starts to fall, Tara appears. The incident ended with little Phil vowing that no one but his father would ever spank him, and Phil feeling rotten and re jected. Phil isn’t going to be able to take this much longer, and he’s making noises about spilling the beans to little Phil. ‘Twould be the smartest thing he ever did. The highlight of the vacation, though, was Dan and Brook at the ski resort. A surprise to no one, Brook had only been able to reserve one room, and it looked like the trap was set. “How about a good night kiss,” and then cut to a commercial. Three, two, one, take it. “I better stop before I do something I'll regret.” “What’s to regret.” We soon found out what was to regret. The speech Dan gave to explain why he couldn’t take advantage of the situation just because it was convenient. The script consultant that week must of been Ann Landers ‘cause the moral statement was about 10 years old. I let you fill in the blanks, but the key word is “respect.” And what about Chuck and Donna? Donna recently turned 18 and Chuck took her to The Chateau to celebrate. The night took an odd turn when one of Donna’s old customers approached her and asked her for a "favor.” Chuck happened to be away from the table at the time, and the incident shook Donna up so much she split for the bathroom. In a real bonehead move, Nick sent Erica in to calm Donna down. Erica proceded to convince Donna that Chuck was just using her to keep from being lonely, and Donna would probably be happier with someone from her own social standing. When Chuck finally got Donna home, she told him she was splitting. Chuck re sponded by planting a big juicy one right on her chops, but the loving embrace was inter rupted when Frank and Caroline came home. It’s hard to tell, though. Chuck doesn’t seem to be real clear on what his feelings are for Donna. I have to suspect she’s in for some heartache not too far down the line. Brass Choir concert set The University Brass Choir will give a concert featuring contem porary compositions on Saturday. The performance will begin at 8 p.m. in the University's Beall Con cert Hall. Admission is free. The ensemble will perform two contemporary selections, “Litur gical Symphony for Brass Choir and Percussion” by Fisher Tull and “Research for Brass Choir” by William Presser.
