Heritage Day honors those who fought

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Events this weekend will commemorate the men who wore Confederate gray in the War Between the States.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans’ annual Heritage Day will be held Saturday at the Crossroads Museum. On Sunday, Confederate Memorial Day will be observed with a service at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center.

Coke 10K goes to online registration

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Organizers of the 31st Corinth Coca-Cola Classic 10K Run are making things easier for runners.

The simplification also involves some fresh changes for the race which is co-sponsored by Magnolia Regional Health Center.

For the first time, there will be no race day registration. Runners have until 7 p.m. on May 4 to register for the May 5 run online. Organizers decided to do away with the Saturday registration since most of its over 1,200 participants registered online last year.

“It’s so much easier online,” said race co-coordinator Amy Smith. “All the runners have to do on race day is show up at the starting line.”

Race officials also benefit from the change.

“Our biggest mistakes in registration were made on the day of the race,” added Smith. “It also frees up 10-12 volunteers to do other things on race day.”

Since no entry forms will be mailed out, participants can either download the form online at www. coke10k.com or at Facebook.

This year’s event will see a different style medallion presented to runners who finish. A miniature gold CocaCola keepsake bottle replaces the medal passed out at the finish line.

The 20th annual Heritage Day activities will begin at 8 a.m. at the Crossroads Museum. According to local SCV Camp Commander Larry Mangus, this year’s activities have been moved to the museum because of the restoration work beginning on the Verandah House — the traditional location of Heritage Day events.

From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. re-enactors from the 48th Tennessee regiment will be camped on the site. The public will have the opportunity to tour the period camp and learn about the life of rankand-file Civil War soldiers.

There will be a large display of Civil War-period flags. The Iuka Relic Club will have an extensive display of Civil War relics on display for viewing and purchase.

Another display on the site will be the Crossroads Museum’s new Civil War relics exhibit.

“It is a really good collection of local Civil War artifacts,” said Mangus.

Lost Cause: A Confederate String Band will perform period music from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The band will also have copies of their album for sale.

Lost Cause singer and guitar player Mike Byrd, a former SCV camp commander, was instrumental in re-establishing the local observance of Confederate Memorial Day in the early 1990s.

The day had been neglected locally for over half a century when Byrd and Lost Cause bass player Please see HERITAGE | 2A

Outdoor antiques show canceled

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

A new medallion will be awarded to runners when they finish the 31st Corinth Coca-Cola Classic 10K Run. A new timing chip is set to premier for the 31st running. The disposable B-Tag will be attached to the runner’s bib instead of the shoe -- further making things simpler on race day.

As of Thursday, those who have already registered was at 700.

“That’s still up 100 from last year,” said Smith.

Officials have prepared for 1,250 runners/walkers.

The first 600 registered can pick

up race packets at Refreshment, Inc. Starting April 30 through race day, packets can be picked up at Corinth Coke on Washington Street. Race packet includes tech shirt, timing device, bib number and instructions.

The design for the tech shirts was completed by local artist Jesse Ables.

More than $6,000 in cash prizes will be awarded. Cost to enter the race is $20 if registered by April 30 and $25 after the April deadline.

The Antiques Crossroads Show, an outdoor antiques sale scheduled for Saturday, has been canceled due to lack of seller participation, according to organizers.

While the level of interest among shoppers was high for the event, too few antiques vendors committed to participating to justify holding the Antiques Crossroads Show, said Karen Beth Martin, program director for the Corinth Area Convention & Visitors Bureau.

“We had tons of people call about shopping, even a person from as far away as Montgomery, Ala. — but we only had two people sign up to sell,” Martin explained.

Organizers had set the minimum number of sellers for the event at 15.

Martin emphasized that the Civil War HeriPlease see ANTIQUES | 2A

Eagle Scout project adds outdoor patio at Lighthouse

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Jonathan Gann turned nothing into something in receiving the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America program.

Gann constructed a patio and garden area at The Lighthouse Foundation for the children to use.

“They didn’t have a place to go outside and read or grill,” said Corinth High School freshman. “It was a good project for a good reason.”

The high school student from Troop 293 became the second son of Larry and Angie Gann to earn his Eagle Scout. His brother, Brandon, has also earned the honor.

Jonathan Gann worked 150 hours on the project, constructing

a 45 x 15 concrete slab and another 6 x 6 addition for a grill. Modern Woodmen of America donated a Good Neighbor Project gift of $500 for material and B&B Concrete helped with the slab. Bulbs for the garden were also donated.

Fellow Eagle Ethan Flatt made picnic tables for the patio as part of his project.

“I wanted to do something for the whole community,” said Gann. “My grandmother told me about the need in this area and that’s what I decided to do.”

Gann became aware of the Lighthouse Foundation through his time in the Boyz 2 Men program of the foundation.

The venture cost around $3,000 and Gann had help from nine other boys.

On this day in history 150 years ago “We have orders to go into the trenches within six or seven hundred yards of the enemy’s lines and we anticipate a most miserable night both from the rain and annoyance from the enemy,” Kirk Seabury, 11th Virginia Infantry, near Williamsburg, Va.

Mom who caused daughter’s injury now must help her heal DEAR ABBY: My two children were in a terrible car accident and were both airlifted to a children’s hospital. My son was released two weeks later, but my daughter is still there, suffering from traumatic brain injury.

Abby, I was driving the car. Why can’t my daughter have the life I took away from her? Why is she being punished and not me? — ANGUISHED MOTHER DEAR ANGUISHED: You’re asking a question that philosophers have pondered for centuries -- why bad things happen to good people. In many cases the answer is simply “fate.�

While you feel your daughter is being punished instead of you, I say the guilt you’re carrying IS punishment and

it is not healthy for you or your c h i l d .

Please d o n ’ t Abigail w a s t e Van Buren t i m e flogging Dear Abby yourself, because your daughter needs you. Counseling may help you to come to terms with what happened. I hope you’ll consider it, as you will need every ounce of strength you can muster to help her in the months ahead.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I are in a serious relationship. Not long ago we got on the topic of marriage and what we are looking for.

He comes from a religious family and I do not. His mother says if we don’t get

married in a church with a religious ceremony, she won’t consider me her daughter-in-law and we won’t be a married couple.

I want a civil ceremony, something outside and casual.

Thankfully, my boyfriend agrees with me.

We’re just not sure how to deal with his mom and her point of view. What should we do? — LOOKING TO THE FUTURE IN NEW YORK DEAR LOOKING TO THE FUTURE: What you should do depends upon to what degree you want to placate his mother. Having the casual ceremony you want in the setting of your choosing, and afterward having your union blessed in a clergyperson’s study, might be a workable compromise.

have the opportunity to take advantage of the many antiques and thrift stores in Corinth. Martin has prepared a brochure with a map and list of all the antiques, thrift and consignment stores in Corinth. Brochures will be available from Crossroads Museum personnel during the Heritage Day activities.

Another popular upcoming event for shoppers is the Green Market at the Corinth Depot.

After a successful start to the Green Market sea-

son in April, the awardwinning event will return on Saturday, May 5, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. “The first Green Market in April was huge, and already a lot of people have signed up for May,� said Martin. “It’s looking like it will be a good one, too.�

For more information contact CACVB Program Director Karen Beth Martin at 287-8300.

Green Market vendor applications are available at greenmarket. corinth.net.

ANTIQUES CONTINUED FROM 1A

tage Day activities will still go on as planned on the grounds of the Crossroads Museum in downtown Corinth, and the two sellers who signed on will have the opportunity to sell their wares during the event.

Civil War relic collectors will also have a chance to purchase items from relics vendors during the event.

Although the antiques event has been canceled, antiques shoppers still

Keith Letson worked to organize a weekend of activities to honor Southern ancestors. “It’s grown bigger ever since,� Byrd said, “and is one of the things we plan to do each year. It’s important. People need to know the truth about that war and honor our ancestors — and not be ashamed of things people say or even some things kids are taught in school these days.�

Tours of Battery Robinett and the Civil War Interpretive Center will be conducted from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A number of vendors will be selling Civil War items. The new 150th Anniversary of the Battle of

Corinth T-shirts will be available for purchase in butternut or gray.

A special activity is planned for elementary and secondary school students. “If they can complete a short, five-question quiz on the Battle of Corinth, they can claim a prize consisting of either a real fired Civil War bullet or a Battle of Corinth T-shirt,� explained Mangus. “The answers to the questions are all at the site.�

CSA Memorial Day The 20th annual Confederate Memorial Day Service will be held at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center auditorium at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

The ceremony will include music by Lost Cause and a special guest speaker. “We are honored to have National SCV Lt. Commander-in-Chief Charles Kelly Barrow deliver the keynote address,� said Mangus.

Following Barrow’s address there will be a wreath-laying ceremony on the grave of the local SCV camp’s namesake, Col. William P. Rogers, the leader of the 2nd Texas Infantry.

He was buried where he was killed while leading a charge against Battery Robinett in the Battle of Corinth. Rosa Spencer, president of the Corinth Chapter United Daughters of the Confederacy, will conduct the wreathlaying ceremony.

The 48th Tennessee will provide the military musket salute and James Embrey will play “Taps.�

The public is invited to attend the service.

Another aspect of the observance is the tri-county wreath-laying effort. “To honor those Confederate soldiers who fought in the War for Southern Independence, members of the Col. William P. Rogers Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp will place Confederate flags on the graves of nearly 300 soldiers in a three-county area,� said Mangus.

Undecided votes go against the incumbent

BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN With most current presidential polls of likely voters showing 9-10 percent undecided, the question of where the undecided votes go becomes of paramount importance.

To answer this question, I compared the final Gallup Polls with the actual results in every race in which an incumbent president was opposing an insurgent since 1964. This included the Johnson-Goldwater race of 1964, the Nixon-McGovern race of 1972, the Carter-Ford race of 1976, the Reagan-CarterAnderson race of 1980, the Reagan-Mondale race of 1984, the Clinton-Bush-Perot race of 1992, the Clinton-Dole race of 1996, and the Bush-Kerry race of 2004.

In these races, the undecided vote went heavily for the insurgents, and the incumbents lost vote share between the final poll and the election, even when the incumbent was winning the contest easily overall. Six of eight presidents seeking re-election performed worse than the final Gallup Poll predicted, while one finished the same (Reagan in 1984) and one gained votes (Bush in 2004).

Seven of the nine insurgent candidates did better than the final Gallup Poll predicted.

■ In 1964, Johnson lost 3 points to Goldwater at the end.

■ In 1972, Nixon lost 1 point to a third party candidate.

■ In 1976, there was a five point swing to Carter.

■- In 1980, there was an eight point swing to Reagan or Anderson.

■ In 1984, there was no change between the final poll and the results.

■- In 1992, there was a one point shift away from Bush. In that contest, there was also a five point swing away from Clinton to Perot at the end.

■ In 1996, there was a five-point swing away from Clinton and to Dole or Perot.

■ Only Bush in 2004 ran better in the result than in his the final poll, by 2 points.

In other words, of the total of 17 points that shifted between the final poll and the election results, 15 points or 88 percent went to the challenger.

The implications of these findings are that the current polls, while seemingly close, portend a strong Republican victory. The realclearpolitics.com average of the past eight presidential horse race polls show Obama with a 47-44 lead over Romney. But among likely voters, in the Rasmussen Survey (all others were of either registered voters or adults), the president was running behind Romney by 48-44.

But given the historical fact that the final results are almost always worse for the president and almost never better, we really need to focus on the Obama vote share rather than his lead, or lack of one, against Romney.

If Obama is, indeed, getting 44 percent of the vote, he is likely facing at least an 11-point loss.

If he is getting 47 percent of the vote, he is looking at least at a six point defeat.

(Given the fact that six of the eight incumbent presidents not only lost the undecided, but finished lower than the pre-election survey predicted, it would be more likely that Obama’s margin of defeat would be greater than even these numbers suggest.

There are other indications of a Republican landslide in the offing.

Party identification has moved a net of eight points toward the GOP since the last election. In Senate races, there are currently eight Democratic-held seats where Republicans are now leading either the Democratic incumbent or the Democratic candidate for the open seat.

The predictions of a close election are all based on polling of registered voters -- not likely voters -- and fail to account for the shift in votes against the incumbent that has been the norm of the past presidential contests.

‘October surprise’ would ensure Obama’s election “Bibi” Netanyahu was disgusted.

“My initial reaction is that Iran has gotten a freebie. It has got five weeks to continue enrichment without any limitation.”

The Israeli prime minister was referring to last Saturday’s meeting in Istanbul of the P5-plus-1 -- the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany -- with representatives from Iran.

Subject: Iran’s nuclear program. After a “constructive” meeting of one day, all agreed to meet again in Baghdad, May 23, and departed.

For Bibi, it was a strategic defeat.

For Israel’s goal is a halt to Iran’s enrichment of uranium and the removal of enriched uranium from that country.

But Catherine Ashton, the foreign minister for the European Union who is leading the P5-plus-1, stated that the West accepts Iran’s position that, as a signatory to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, she has a right to a peaceful nuclear program and nuclear power.

“Iran’s right to the peaceful use of nuclear power” must be fully respected, Ashton said. No one dissented.

If the United States assents to Iran’s enrichment of uranium, and Iran gives assurances that the Ayatollah’s fatwa against the acquisition of nuclear weapons is being observed, a Washington-Tehran deal may be in the offing.

What would be the ele-

ments?

An end to Iran’s enrichment of uranium to 20 percent, once Iran has a sufficient Pat stock for its Buchanan program of Columnist nuclear medicine.

Transfer of any excess 20 percent uranium outside the country to prevent further enrichment to weapons grade.

Regular intrusive inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities to ensure there is no diversion of uranium to bomb-making.

What would Iran demand?

Step-by-step lifting of sanctions, as it demonstrates it is telling the truth about not seeking nuclear weapons.

Such a deal would end the U.S.-Iran confrontation, yet allow Iran to continue to gain the knowledge, experience, and technical capacity to break out, should it ever decide to take the risk and build the weapons.

Netanyahu believes Israel’s security and survival mandate the nuclear castration of Iran. Sunday, in a detailed report cleared by military censors, Israeli TV showed how an attack would be mounted.

Yet reporter Alon Ben David conceded that the Israeli Air Force “does not have the capacity to destroy the entire Iranian program.”

Unlike the Iraqi nuclear reactor and the Syrian reactor Israel bombed in

1981 and 2007, Iran has many more nuclear facilities, spread over a far larger country, farther away and better defended.

And given the public threats by Israel and test runs by the IAF as far as Gibraltar, no attack on Iran will come as a total surprise.

There would be losses of planes and pilots.

What would be the results?

While it would destroy some of Iran’s nuclear facilities, it would not end the program but rally Iranians behind the regime. And it might trigger retaliation by Iran and Hezbollah, by missile, against Israel itself.

An Israeli attack on Iran, which President Obama and the U.S. military strongly oppose, would also put the issue of a U.S. war with Iran front and center in the presidential election.

What would America do; what would Obama do?

The election of 2012 could turn on that decision.

Should Iran retaliate against Israel, the Israeli lobby and the neocons would demand that America come to Israel’s defense. Mitt Romney, the GOP hawks, evangelical Christians, conservative commentators and many Democrats would echo the demand, no matter who started the shooting.

A clamor would arise for us to finish the job of smashing Iran’s nuclear facilities.

As Israel is admired and Iran’s regime is detested, Obama could never declare neutrality. And should he

order the U.S. military to go to Israel’s aid, his re-election might well be assured.

As commander in chief and first diplomat, Obama holds all the cards.

If Iran is accommodating, the sanctions he has imposed will be seen as successful. If Iran balks in negotiations, he can impose new sanctions.

If Iran walks out of the talks, he can issue ultimata.

If Israel attacks Iran, he can come to Israel’s defense and finish the job of destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities. If done close to the election, this would assure Obama’s re-election. The “October surprise” of 2012.

What are Iran’s interests and options?

Tehran cannot want war with the United States. For whatever the damage done to U.S. interests, the destruction of Iran’s air, naval and missile forces and nuclear program would be total.

The smartest course for Iran to pursue is to demonstrate to the West that she is reasonable and anxious to prove she has no present or future intention of building atomic weapons.

Which is what Iran was doing in Istanbul.

No wonder Bibi is frustrated. If there is no U.S. attack on Iran by November, and Obama wins, there may never be a U.S. attack on Iran.

Israel cannot do to Iran what Bibi wants done to Iran. Only Obama can.

But how does Bibi get Obama to do it, before November?

Fast times in Las Vegas at GSA Mitt Romney says he likes to fire people. If elected, can the General Services Administration be his first target?

A few (but not enough) heads have already rolled at the agency that threw itself an infamous Las Vegas conference that could have been planned by former Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski before he went to jail. The GSA couldn’t outdo Kozlowski, who threw his wife a birthday party on an Italian island with an ice sculpture of Michelangelo’s “David” that urinated vodka and billed his company for half the cost, but it undertook its conference planning with same sense of frugality and good taste.

Charged with supporting federal operations, the GSA turns out to be a cynical wastrel. Prior to the conference, word came down from on high that it should be “over the top” -- in other words, in the spirit of an over-the-top era of stimulus, when spending more is always assumed to be bet-

ter. The GSA spent $6,325 on commemorative coins to reward its employees, fittingly Rich enough, for their work Lowery on Recovery National Act projects.

Review It’s a wonder that Keynesians aren’t defending the $820,000 conference as a jobs creator, a notion that wouldn’t be any more absurd than the case they make for “shovel-ready” projects and green energy.

Such is the conference’s notoriety that the headline on a recent Las Vegas Sun article was: “Nevada lawmakers don’t want GSA scandal to put Las Vegas in bad light.” The event was the biennial Western Regions Conference of the Public Buildings Service of the GSA, and if that doesn’t sound like a good time, you’ve never partied with the GSA. A great deal of thought was put into how to

sidestep and exploit every rule in the interest of gouging the government.

According to an inspector-general report, the GSA undertook two “scouting trips,” five off-site planning meetings and a “dry run” for the conference. The Osama bin Laden raid might not have been so elaborately planned.

Most of this painstaking preparation took place at the four-star M Resort Spa Casino outside Vegas (“the floor-to-ceiling windows offer an incredible view from every room”), where the 300 GSA employees gathered for the conference itself. All told, travel and catering costs for planning alone ran $136,000.

Then, on to the main event: more food. For the Petit Beef Wellington and Mini Monte Cristo Sandwiches at the “networking reception,” for the Boursin Scalloped Potato with Barolo Wine Braised Short Ribs at the party prior the closing dinner, for all the breakfast buffets and in-room parties,

the GSA paid $146,000.

Since government rules allow for free food at award ceremonies, the GSA was sure to give out awards liberally, including at a $2,700 invitation-only concluding party in a loft suite.

The GSA paid $75,000 for a team-building exercise and $58,000 for audio-visual services (to play embarrassingly juvenile music videos starring GSA employees). To give it all a patina of high-mindedness, employees built 24 bikes to give to the local Boys’ and Girls’ Club.

Except the GSA had to finesse its own red tape to do it. “If the government acquires property,” the inspector-general report relates, “it may only dispose of that property pursuant to the Federal Surplus Property Donation Program -- created by GSA itself to enable all federal agencies to comply with the Property Act.” Conference organizer Jeffrey Neely boasted at the end of the confab about the “unforgettable” event.

State Briefs Associated Press

Bryant signs bill A similar measure to forcing school merger consolidate Bolivar CounJACKSON — Sunflower County will have only one school district starting in July 2014, under a law signed by Gov. Phil Bryant Thursday.

Senate Bill 2330 requires merging the Indianola, Drew and Sunflower County districts, all currently under state control. The bill does not require closing any current schools, although residents have said they fear that result. The districts have more than 4,300 students.

Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who pushed the law, said it would save money and provide better education.

A countywide school board would be elected in November 2013. No previous board member from the three predecessor districts could run. The new school board would appoint a superintendent.

Vickie McNeill told the newspaper that the accident happened in the eastbound lanes of Mississippi 22 under the I-55 bridge at 7:15 a.m.

McNeill says the victim apparently didn’t see the back of the truck. Madison County Coroner Alex Breeland has ordered an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

ty’s six districts into three or fewer has fizzled so far in this legislative session.

Librarian killed in wreck with 18-wheeler JACKSON — Authorities say a school librarian was killed when her car hit an 18-wheeler.

The Clarion-Ledger reports 44-year-old Laura Ellis, a librarian at the Canton School of Arts and Sciences, died at the scene of the early Thursday accident. Police say truck driver Igor Kovalchuk, of Woodbridge, Ill., was not injured.

State rethinks barring sports JACKSON — Mississippi education leaders are pulling back from a proposal to bar football and other activities in troubled school districts.The State Board of Education had proposed to prohibit any

district that loses accreditation or is taken over by the state from continuing interscholastic sports or competitions in activities such as band, choir and debate.

The idea was that cutting off extracurricular activities would so distress a community that residents would bring severe pressure on school leaders to make improvements.

State Superintendent Tom Burnham said Thursday that he thought a total ban was too severe.

Instead, he said the Department of Education now supports a plan to limit but not prohibit activities. For example, sports teams would be allowed to play most or all district

games, but not participate in tournaments, jamborees or playoffs.

Board members are likely on Friday to approve a policy that would cut some competitions when a district loses its state seal of approval, and then cut off all competition if a board hadn’t returned to full accreditation within two years.

That compromise emerged after some board members expressed support for the original, harsher policy.

“I think we’re really backing up on what we said we were going to do,” said Bill Jones of Petal, who objected to allowing football games to continue in troubled districts.

Small plane sinks; no signal from pilot PENSACOLA, Fla. — Coast Guard crews saw no signs Thursday that the pilot of a small plane survived when his Cessna went down in the Gulf of Mexico about three hours after two F-15 fighter jets tried to make contact with him.

Coast Guard Chief John Edwards said the plane landed right-side up on the ocean surface and had been floating right after the crash.

Planes did not see a life raft deploy or anything to indicate the pilot — the lone person aboard — was alive, the Coast Guard said.

Stripper says he was ’nude but not lewd’ Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — A high-tech worker who stripped naked at Portland International Airport as a protest against airport security screeners said this weekhe was being “nude but not lewd,” and characterized his act of defiance as protected

political speech.

John E. Brennan, 49, of Portland was charged with disorderly conduct and indecent exposure after taking off far more than this belt and shoes during the screening process before a Tuesday evening flight to San Jose, Calif. The incident

report from the Port of Portland, which operates the airport, said some passengers covered their eyes and the eyes of their children. Others laughed and took photos. The disorderly conduct charge was dropped at Brennan’s arraignment Wednesday.

Associated Press

America ready to aid Syria if needed WASHINGTON — U.S. military leaders clearly expressed reluctance about using American might to stop the unending violence in Syria, insisting that diplomacy remains the best option to force President Bashar Assad to end the brutal crackdown on his own people.

Testifying before Congress, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, outlined the steps the United States and other countries are taking to pressure the Assad regime after 13 months of bloodshed that has left more than 9,000 dead, according to the United Nations, and displaced tens of thousands. The steps range from tough sanctions to shared intelligence to $25 million in emergency humanitarian assistance.

Dempsey said if called upon, the military would be ready to act and the services are working on ways to try to halt the violence. But both he and Panetta set a high threshold for U.S. military involvement in a war in the Middle East after decade-plus conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“I think it’s clear that the only way that the United States would get involved militarily is if there’s a consensus in the international community to try to do something along those lines,” Panetta told the House Armed Services Committee. “And then obviously ensure that the international community is able to get authorities required in order to make that happen.”

Pressed later on the issue, Panetta said, “At this point in time ...a decision is that we will not have any boots on the ground and that we will not act unilaterally in that part of the world.”

More firings likely at Secret Service WASHINGTON — A top lawmaker briefed on the investigation into a Secret Service prostitution scandal said more firings could be imminent following the forced ouster of three agency employees.”

“I wouldn’t be surprised if you saw more dismissals and more being forced out sooner rather than later,” Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said Thursday. King is being updated on the investigation by Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan.

“You may see a few more today or tomorrow,” King added.

the scandal that erupted late last week, when at least some of 11 agency employees implicated in the incident brought prostitutes back to their hotel in Cartagena, Colombia, where they were setting up security for a visit by President Barack Obama.

So far, three people involved have lost their jobs. The service said Wednesday that one supervisor was allowed to retire, and another will be fired for cause. A third employee, who was not a supervisor, has resigned.

The two supervisors are in the agency’s uniformed division; one is a sergeant, according to a person familiar with Secret Service operations and refused to be identified because he was not authorized to discuss the matter.

The team under investigation includes members of the agency’s “jump teams,” which are sent to sites ahead of the president’s arrival to set up security. Others involved are on counterassault and countersniper teams. The majority of those involved are believed to be based in the Washington area.

2011 worst measles year in US ATLANTA — Last year was the worst year for measles in the U.S. in 15 years, health officials said Thursday.

There were 222 cases of measles, a large jump from the 60 or so seen in a typical year. Most of the cases last year were imported — either by foreign visitors or by U.S. residents who picked up the virus overseas.

U.S. children have been getting vaccinated against the measles for about 50 years. But low vaccination rates in Europe and other places resulted in large outbreaks overseas last year.

So far this year, 27 U.S. cases have been reported and it’s too early to gauge whether 2012 will be as bad as last year. But with large international events like the London Olympics coming up, health officials are urging everyone — particularly international travelers — to make sure they’re fully vaccinated.

“For those of you traveling abroad, bring back memories and not measles,” said Dr. Anne Schuchat of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Generally, the Americans who got measles last year were not vaccinated. At least two-thirds of the U.S. cases fell into that category, including 50 children whose parents got philosophical, religious or medical exemptions to skip the school vaccinations re-

quired by most states, CDC officials said.

The vaccine is considered very effective but a few vaccinated people still get infected.

Fewer registrees for Komen races DALLAS — Many supporters of the Susan G. Komen breast cancer charity have abandoned the group’s events after it decided to stop making grants to Planned Parenthood and then reversed that decision.

In the months since the controversy, organizers of individual Race for the Cure events have seen participation decline by as much as 30 percent. Most also saw their fundraising numbers go down, although a couple of races brought in more money.

Race organizers acknowledge the effect of the Planned Parenthood decision, which angered people on both sides of the abortion debate.

Only nine races have been held since the debacle, but a downward trend has already emerged.

The 5K runs and walks account for most of the fundraising for the nation’s largest breastcancer charity.

Race organizers acknowledge the effect of the Planned Parenthood debacle, which angered people on both sides of the abortion debate.

“I think there’s no getting around the fact that the controversy did have an impact,” said Leslie Aun, a spokeswoman for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. “We’re not back where we were. We know that it’s going to take a while.”

Ann Romney seen as political weapon BOSTON — She is a 63-year-old grandmother known as “Mamie,” a former stay-at-home mother of five boys, and the cookie-baking wife of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. But do not be fooled: Republicans and Democrats alike see Ann Romney as an effective political weapon.

The nation is only just beginning to meet the woman Mitt Romney calls “my sweetheart.”

And as the general election spotlight burns brighter, the Romney campaign is leveraging Ann Romney’s natural ability to connect with voters in a way her husband cannot. Already, she is becoming a fundraising powerhouse and chief aggressor in her husband’s push to court women.

President Barack Obama’s team quietly acknowledges the threat it faces from the Romney who is sweet, unassuming and, at times, unusually willing to share bathroom humor. To be sure, people who know her well have long viewed her as a political force.

“I realized that at some point the rest of the world was going to take notice, too,” said Tagg Romney, 42, the eldest of the Romneys’ children. “I think that day has come.”

The Romney campaign insists that Ann Romney’s intense schedule hasn’t significantly changed since December, the height of the primary campaign.

Despite health concerns, she spent the vast majority of those days and nights living in the buses, planes and hotels that define the less glamorous necessities of presidential politics.

Her public role in the 2012 presidential contest so far exceeds that of other GOP candidates’ spouses.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your next move?

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re nervous about the stock market after its great first quarter and slow start this quarter, history is on your side.

Although the Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index is down 2.2 percent this month, only twice in the last 30 years has the market been up 10 percent in a quarter and fallen the next.

The other 15 times, stocks rose an average 6.6 percent the next quarter.

From 1982, the start of what some consider the modern era of investing, through the end of last year, there were 17 quarters in which the S&P 500 rose 10 percent or more. This quarter is also one of only four that follows back-to-back 10 percent climbs. The other three times, the market was up in

the next quarter, too.

Only twice were 10 percent gains followed by a losing quarter. In both cases, the loss was small: 1.1 percent in 1991 and 0.1 percent in 2002. The other 15 times, the average gain in the next quarter was 6.6 percent.

The two losses both came when the economy was just emerging from recession, periods that are ripe for market bumpiness as investors try to gauge whether the worst really is behind them. This time around, the recession has been over for almost three years. Although the economy has had setbacks in the past two years, investors may be betting that a steady, if unimpressive, expansion is finally under way.

Winning streak: Only twice in the last 30 years has the stock market been up 10 percent in a quarter and not been up the next.

History suggests the index will be positive in the next quarter

Lady Aggies defend golf title

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

KOSSUTH — The Lady Aggies are 2-for-2.

Kossuth protected its home course and won its second straight Class I Region 1 Tournament on Thursday.

The host club hoisted the championship trophy after firing a 194 over 18 holes at Whispering Pines Golf Club.

Walnut was second at 232, followed by Falkner at 253.

Kossuth and Walnut will both be in action at the State Tournament, which will be held May 7-8 at Canton Country Club.

“They played really well today,” said Allen Lyles, who along with wife Kim directs the Kossuth golf programs.

In addition to the team championship, Kossuth also had the top individual performer as Raven McCalla took medalist honors with a 94.

Kossuth has now won the Region Tournament and qualified for the State event in its two seasons of existence.

The Lady Aggies carded a 226 to best West Union, South Pontotoc, Falkner and Walnut in their inaugural season.

McCalla and Amanda Es-

sary were also part of the Region championship in 2011.

Essary fired a 109 to lead the Lady Aggie effort at Booneville Country Club.

Lady Warriors finish unbeaten in Division 1-4A

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Lady Warriors capped the regular season in style.

Corinth completed a perfect season Division 1-4A with an 11-10 win over Itawamba AHS in fast-pitch softball action Thursday at the Sportsplex.

In other action, Alcorn Central capped its season by knocking off Division 1-3A champion Booneville 4-1 on the road. Chelsea Buntin struck out nine Lady Devils and also contributed three hits.

At Kossuth, the Lady Aggies dropped a 10-9 decision to Tupelo in eight innings. The Lady Aggies (1512) will open the Class 3A playoffs today with a doubleheader at Leflore County.

■ The Lady Warriors, who won 18 of their last 21 games following a 1-6 start, will have a bye in the first round of the 4A playoffs after winning their third league title in four years.

Corinth (19-9, 10-0) fell behind 3-0 before recording an out. First inning home runs by Stennett Smith and Haley Christian — her first career blast — would erased the early deficit.

Itawamba fought back with a sixrun sixth to tie the game. Three errors and a pair of run-scoring singles combined with a grand slam by Haley Moore forged a 10-10 tie.

Corinth got the winning digit in their half of the sixth. Bailee Kramer, who had a team high five hits the last two games, drove in Erin Frazier — the team’s lone senior — with a sacrifice fly.

Smith (13-6) got the win in relief.

Portia Patterson supplied Corinth with its third home run of the night.

■ Kossuth banged out 13 hits, but committed nine errors. The Lady Aggies — who fought back from an 8-1 deficit — had the winning run at second in the seventh and the bases loaded with one out in the eighth but couldn’t pull out the win.

All seven seniors started, with the injured Annaleigh Coleman making a one-pitch appearance on defense.

The other six — Lainna Mullins, Dana Glissen, McKinley Ragan, Eryn Coleman, Anna Martin and McKenzie Holland — recorded at least one hit in their final regular-season home game.

CHS makes splash in 1-4A tourney

BY H. LEE SMITH lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

AMORY — The Corinth Warriors made a quick splash in Class 4A and it had nothing to do with a water hazard.

The two-time defending Class 3A golf champions carded a 304 at River Birch Golf Club on Thursday to run away with the Division 1-4A Tournament championship.

Pontotoc and Amory finished 29 strokes back in second. Pontotoc prevailed in a one-hole playoff to garner the

runner-up spot and a berth in the State Tournament.

The state event will be held May 9-10 at Quail Hollow in Fernwood. Tishomingo County was fourth at 382 with Itawamba AHS rounding out the five-team field at 386.

“They all played well on the front side,” said Corinth Coach Keith Greene. “Blake (Farris) was under par most of the day until he got to No. 15 or 16.”

Farris finished with a oneover 73 to claim medalist hon-

ors. Teammate Collin Burns finished second overall with a 74. Alex Tull finished with a 78 as three of the four scores that counted toward the team total were under 80.

“We’ve been playing well,” said Greene. “If one of them is having an off day someone usually picks them up.”

Corinth has claimed eight golf championships. The Warriors won five in a row beginning in 1984 and claimed the 2006 title before going back-to-back their last two

years in 3A.

Indianapolis picking Andrew Luck at No. 1 Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — The secret is out.

Andrew Luck will be the Indianapolis Colts’ new quarterback.

A person with direct knowledge of the situation said Thursday that the Colts have notified Luck that they plan to take the Stanford quarterback with the No. 1 pick in next week’s NFL draft barring some unforeseen event between now and then.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not publicly

disclosed its plan.

It’s hardly a surprise that the Colts are turning to Luck as the cornerstone of their massive rebuilding project.

Luck was projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft before returning to school for his fourth season. He gave up his final year of college eligibility to enter this year’s draft, which was dubbed the Andrew Luck Sweepstakes from the start.

Contract negotiations are not expected to begin before the draft, the person familiar with the situation told

the AP. Will Wilson, Luck’s agent, did not immediately respond to phone messages or text messages Thursday.

“We’ve exhausted the process,” new Indy general manager Ryan Grigson told reporters Wednesday.

“We’ve pretty much made up our minds and we’re going to go from there. We feel good about it and we’ll go from there.”

Grigson acknowledged that the Colts made their decision “a little while” ago, though he declined to say whether the Colts would take

Luck or Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III of Baylor.

The secret lasted less than 24 hours. ESPN.com first reported that the Colts’ had informed Luck they will take him. That would likely send Griffin to the Redskins, who traded a first- and secondround pick this year and first-rounders each of the next two years to St. Louis to move into the No. 2 slot.

Luck faces a challenging situation in Indy, which Please see COLTS | 9A

went 2-14 last season after Peyton Manning was lost with a season-ending injury that required neck surgery.

Manning was released March 7 and eventually signed with Denver, and Luck will now serve as Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successor.

He may get off to a rough start through no fault of his own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe Andrew may struggle early simply because of the surrounding cast playing with him,â&#x20AC;? said Colts former vice chairman Bill Polian, acknowledging both rookies will have their share of problems in 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was nowhere near where Peytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was, and he went 3-13. I think Andrew will struggle more because of the receivers around him.

Only Reggie (Wayne) and Austin (Collie) are back.â&#x20AC;?

Still, Luck was the obvious choice as Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successor all along.

A pro-style pocket quarterback, Luck threw for 35 touchdowns last season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; breaking his school record of 32 a year ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and eclipsed John Elwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career record (77) at Stanford with 80 touchdown passes in only three years.

He finished with 3,170 yards passing, a 70 percent completion percentage and only nine interceptions without the benefit of an elite wide receiver. In a 41-38 Fiesta Bowl loss to Oklahoma State, Luck was brilliant again, going 27 of 31 passing for 347 yards and two touchdowns with an interception.

COLTS CONTINUED FROM 8A

Daily Corinthian â&#x20AC;˘ 9A

of scouts to Griffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pro day, it was Luck who had a private workout for the Colts and traveled to Indianapolis for a personal interview.

Griffin did not, Grigson explained, partly because the Colts had already made their decision.

What the Colts will get with Luck is a skilled player whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had an extra year to mature from 2011, when even then he might have been drafted ahead of Auburn star Cam Newton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tend to think because of my position as an AD at a Division I school that spending a full four years is going to benefit almost every player, not just from a football standpoint but walking away with a degree is important in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world, too,â&#x20AC;? West Virginia athletic director

Oliver Luck, Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, said Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The emotional development that comes with completing the cycle with the class that you came in with, I think that last aspect is very special.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plus, I think the vast majority of cases, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beneficial to come back and play that third and fourth year in many cases,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Luck will be far from the only new face in Indy.

CES teacher gets $500 educational grant Valeria Weatherly, a third grade teacher at Corinth Elementary School, was recently awarded an ExxonMobil Educational Alliance grant for $500.

Presenting Weatherly, CES Principal Denise Webb-Harrell and some of Weatherly’s students with the prize check was Dottie Jaggers, a representative of LItco Petroleum in Corinth.

The local petroleum company was responsible for Weatherly receiving the grant funds.

“I am going to buy books for my classroom with informational texts to correlate reading with science and social studies,” Weatherly said.

Local schools are eligible to apply for Educational Alliance grants by partnering with their nearby Exxon or Mobil branded retailer, the vast majority of which are in-

dependently owned and operated.

Since 2000, the program has contributed more than $18 million to local schools through Exxon and Mobil retailers.

ExxonMobil is a longstanding supporter of math and science education, which includes a $125 million commitment to the National Math and Science Initiative in the United States.

Other initiatives include partnerships with former astronauts Bernard Harris and Sally Ride to encourage students to study math and science, and the Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy, a partnership with PGA golfer Phil Mickelson and his wife, Amy, which has equipped more than 2,000 teachers with innovative tools to inspire students in math and science.

Justice Department sues to lower prices of e-book best-sellers

BY PETE YOST Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The government says avid best-seller readers who use electronic books have been getting ripped off.

Tina Fey’s “Bossy Pants,” Tim Tebow’s “Through My Eyes” and Keith Richards’ ‘”Life” — maybe they should have cost less.

The Justice Department and 15 states sued Apple Inc. and major book publishers this week, alleging a conspiracy that raised the price of electronic books. They said the scheme cost consumers more than $100 million in the past two years by adding $2 or $3, sometimes as much as $5, to the price of each ebook.

If there was price fixing, even the e-book version of the hot-selling Walter Isaacson biography of Steve Jobs, the late genius

behind Apple computers, may have cost too much.

Attorney General Eric Holder said executives at the highest levels of the companies conspired to eliminate competition among e-book sellers.

Justice’s antitrust chief, Sharis Pozen, said the executives were desperate to get Amazon.com — the marketer of Kindle e-book readers — to raise the $9.99 price point it had set for the most popular e-book titles, because that was substantially below their hardcover prices.

The federal government reached a settlement with three of the publishers, Hachette, HarperCollins and Simon & Shuster.

But it will proceed with its lawsuit in federal court in New York City against Apple and Holtzbrinck Publishers, doing business as Macmillan, and The Penguin Publishing

Since Amazon introduced the Kindle in 2007, e-book sales have surged.

They represented just 2 percent of all titles sold in the United States that year, but soared to 25 percent last year. In 2010, about 114 million e-books were sold at a total cost of $441.3 million.

Holder told a Justice Department news conference that “we believe that consumers paid millions of dollars more for some of the most popular titles” as a result of the alleged conspiracy. Pozen said the scheme added an average of $2 to $3 to the prices of individual ebooks.

Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen said the individual book markups went as high as $5 and the total cost to consumers was more than $100 million since April 2010, when the scheme

Co. Ltd., doing business as Penguin Group.

Connecticut and Texas, two of the 15 states filing a separate lawsuit, reached agreements with Hachette and HarperCollins to provide $52 million in restitution to consumers, using a formula based on the number of states participating and the number of e-books sold in each state. Other states in the case may sign onto the agreement, and other companies might be persuaded to join.

Susan E. Kinsman of the Connecticut attorney general’s office said it’s too early to say how consumers can go about getting refunds. But there could be millions of people applying. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that 21 percent of adults said they had read an e-book in the last year.

them,” said Almunia.

Hachette denied it was involved in any conspiracy to illegally fix the price of e-books and said it changed its pricing structure — the central government allegation — to facilitate entry by a new retail competitor, Apple.

“Two years ago, Amazon effectively had a monopoly on the sale of ebooks and e-readers, and was selling products below cost in an effort to exclude competitors,” said Hachette.

Amazon called the settlement “a big win for Kindle owners, and we look forward to being allowed to lower prices on more Kindle books.”

After reading the federal complaint, the Consumer Federation of America called it “a ‘slamdunk’ case of collusive, anti-competitive behavior.”

At Apple, spokesman Tom Neumayr declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Macmillan CEO John Sargent said in a letter to authors, illustrators and agents that the company has not settled because it is “hard to settle a lawsuit when you know you have done no wrong.”

Sargent said there were months of discussions with the Justice Department over a possible settlement, but the government’s proposed terms “were too onerous” and “could have allowed Amazon to recover the monopoly position it had been building before our switch to the agency (pricing) model.”

“We also felt the settlement the DOJ wanted to impose would have a very negative and long-term impact on those who sell books for a living, from the largest chain stores to the smallest independents.” he said.

allegedly took effect.

The government lawsuits did not disclose individual titles whose prices were allegedly jacked up.

The Fey, Tebow, Richards and Isaacson books all came out in electronic versions from the named publishers after April 2010.

According to Pozen, Apple’s Steve Jobs told publishers involved in the alleged conspiracy that “the customer pays a little more, but that’s what you want anyway.”

The lawsuit said the effort to get e-book prices increased by Amazon. com came as Apple was preparing to launch the iPad. The government said the conspirators agreed that instead of selling books to retailers and letting them decide what retail price to charge, the publishers would convert the retailers into “agents” who could sell their books but not alter the publisher-set retail price. The scheme called for Apple to be guaranteed a 30 percent commission on each e-book it sold, the lawsuit said.

“To effectuate their conspiracy, the publisher defendants teamed up with defendant Apple, which shared the same goal of restraining retail price competition in the sale of e-books,” the lawsuit said.

The European Union conducted an investigation that paralleled the U.S. probe. The Union’s Joaqumn Almunia, vice president of the commission in charge of competition policy, said in Brussels that he welcomes the fact that the five companies are making proposals to reach an early resolution of the EU case. “We are currently engaged in fruitful discussions with

Confessing some burdens only to God Everybody’s writing a book these days. Seems every time I turn the TV on, someone is being interviewed because their new book is hitting the shelves, and the newscasters and talk show hosts want to remind folks to check it out.

The book may be a good thing to celebrate, but then it may be a bad thing.

One recently showed up as a true confession by a now grandmother, possibly great-grandmother, who just felt strongly compelled to share her precious private romps with a sitting president many years ago. When Barbara Walters asked her if she ever considered the pain her story would cause the surviving daughter of this famous man, the woman said it was her own reallife story and she felt she should be honest and just share it in detail.

Wow! What compassion some folks have these days!

The tale probably didn’t do the author’s own children and grandchildren any good either. After all, how would we feel if we were in their place? I’m not the least bit interested in finding out. … But I’ll bet lots of those books will be sold -- to people who are just curious as to how such things happen.

I tend to agree with a preacher I heard recently who said some burdens we bear are meant to be shouldered on our own and confessed straight to God alone, without airing the confession in public, thus hurting innocent people. I have to wonder if the author of the book may actually have been burdened by her past, or if she may have felt a little

proud to be able to boast that as a young Washington intern, she was able to turn Lora Ann the head of Huff the most Back Porch powerful (married) man in the world.

Then there are the books and authors that make us happy about freedom of the press.

Wednesday morning I watched as Julie Andrews and her daughter were interviewed about their newest children’s book, “The Very Fairy Princess,” and my heart grew warm all over.

Julie Andrews is one of my heroes anyway -- as a singer and an actress.

Julie’s daughter says she is also the best mom in all the world, and I figure that’s close to right. If not in real life, she certainly was in the movies I saw.

When “The Sound of Music” came out years ago, a friend told me it was one that would leave the viewer happy and feeling good about life, and she was right. To this day, I have to sit down and watch it once in a while to lift my spirits!

I have friends who are forever saying what they’re including when they write their books, and I’m thinking everybody else has one, so why not me. Then I’m reminded that although I haven’t written a book, I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to write for the local newspaper. I’m still amazed that Mark Boehler, thanks to Sue Bronson, gave me the chance to do this many years ago.

I continually receive encouraging notes and input from readers and am humbled by the response.

Here I am -- someone who grew up very quiet and never wanting to be in the limelight, especially to speak -- and I have been given a platform every week from which to share my experiences, outlooks on life and my faith in a loving God. With that privilege, I usually choose not to write about subjects or persons that would be offensive or embarrassing.

I’ll admit I’m sometimes tempted, but my desire is to be considerate and compassionate and give readers a chance to feel good and have hope for daily living.

Looking at the big picture, we don’t really have a long time on this earth, so let’s spread some joy and hope. There’s already enough pain and shame to go around -- what people need is love and encouragement. … So we may never actually “write” a best-selling book, but we can certainly “live” one for others to see. Not everyone reads books anyway, but they do read our lives over and over every day. Let that living book present kindness, compassion, love, joy, hope -- and all the things that point to a purpose in living. Then maybe we’ll be on Heaven’s best-seller list rather than the world’s.

The Greatest Invitation

During our life span, we may receive a lot of invitations. However, the greatest invitation is the one given by Christ. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt 11:28).

The Lord’s invitation implies that man is away from God. Man is not born in sin, but sin separates one from God. “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear” (Isa 59:2).

Christ was despised and rejected by men, but He still extends His great invitation to all men. All who are away from the Lord are spiritually dead.

“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins” (Eph 2:1). It was man who left God and man must return to God. The invitation of Christ teaches that one can and must come to Him. It is man’s stubborn will that keeps him from coming to Christ. “And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life” (John 5:40). Eternal life is available to all who respond to the Lord’s invitation. “...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). All men are invited to come to Christ, but only those who come to Him will be benefitted.

The great invitation implies that men are benefitted by coming to Christ. All who accept this invitation are forgiven according to the terms set forth in the new testament. All who refuse to come to Christ will be judged by His word. “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:48). The Lord’s invitation is the greatest invitation ever given to humanity. All are invited to accept this great invitation to be free from sin and become servants of righteousness by obeying the Lord. Those who reject the Lord’s invitation will have no one to blame except themselves. Have we accepted the Lord’s invitation and obeyed His will?

Wisdom

4B â&#x20AC;˘ Daily Corinthian

What is received from going to church Being a Sunday school teacher over the past years, I think I have heard every excuse around for people not to attend Sunday school or church.

I encourage the people I talk with about church that we need the fellowship of the believers. It helps and nurtures us in the word of God and Gary gives us Andrews encouragement to go Devotionals back into the world each day and be a shinning example.

Being a church member may be enough for some people but I firmly believe that being an active church member and attending on a regular basis strengthens your inner self and allows you to face the problems of the world on a higher, spiritual plane.

A church-goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I've gone for 30 years now,â&#x20AC;? he wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all.â&#x20AC;?

This started a real controversy in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letters to the Editorâ&#x20AC;? column, much to the delight of the editor.

It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I've been married for 30 years now.

Suggested daily Bible readings: Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matthew 16:17-19; Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Acts 21:27-28; Tuesday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 1 Corinthians 5:11-13; Wednesday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Galatians 1:11-17; Thursday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ephesians 5:23-28; Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 1 Corinthians 14:12; Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Colossians 1:15-18 In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I do know this. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!â&#x20AC;?

When you are down to nothing . . . God is up to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible.

Thank God for our physical and our spiritual nourishment!

Prayer: Thank you Lord for the blessings you give me by attending church and being spiritually fed by your servants. Help me to be more like them and give you all the glory for everything. Amen.

Horoscopes by Holiday

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS What do your things say about you? Do you keep possessions tidy, clean and in good working order? Do you care more about the luxurious qualities of your things than their practical use? Such questions have relevance on this first full day of the Taurus sun. It's also the eve of the Taurus new moon, which is perfect for accounting and assessment.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some people consider the colloquial â&#x20AC;&#x153;whateverâ&#x20AC;? to be a curse word.

It's certainly an expression to avoid today, especially in regard to relationships that are already in a precarious place.

TAURUS (April 20May 20). You'll have many blessings to count, and even better than that is the fact that these seem to be the blessings you most need. You'll use your resources to serve and support the people you hold dear.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Clinging to old emotional patterns is not your style. You'll hold your inner life up to examination. You'll determine the patterns that need to be broken and put an end to them. Scorpio helps.

CANCER (June 22July 22). You're up on the latest news, and you're ready to participate and do what's expected of you.

That's not to say that any of it makes you happy, as you are plugged into an artistic, objective and nonconformist vibration now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

There's something you really want to do, but your progress is excruciatingly slow. This is all the more reason why you should celebrate every move you

make toward your goal as a small victory.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Your latest interest is in something your friends and colleagues find unfamiliar. Go forward anyway; you'll be a trailblazer.

Your sophisticated taste will catapult everyone into the future eventually.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are times when the ethereal world seems more real than the so-called real world, and indeed it may be so, especially when the moon is in dreamy Pisces. After all, most things that exist started out as mere imaginings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have great empathy for another person's plight. Your high level of emotional intelligence allows you to somehow understand even though you don't have personal experience with the matter.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Thinking that you are supposed to know something will keep you from asking the questions that will lead you to really know it. If you dare to speak up, you'll find that you're not the only one in the room who's in the dark.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll be attuned to the sighs of the world. Sometimes sighing is an expression of letting go, and other times sighing says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at me. I'm in psychic pain or longing or some other state of needing what I don't have.â&#x20AC;?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). People think they know you, but they really shouldn't assume.

You're far too deep and complicated to be summed up with stereotypes or understood by

type. Assert your originality, and show them all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.â&#x20AC;? Spoken like a true Pisces, these words by Albert Einstein may help you with your spiritual accounting today.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 20). This year you'll put yourself out there in a bigger way. Somebody is looking for the qualities you embody, and you'll be sought after in the weeks to come. There's a promotion in May. In June, you express yourself beautifully, and life conforms to your specifications. You'll replace a vice with something positive in August. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 19, 26, 8 and 45.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Be careful not to chase your love. You could catch this person if you wanted to, but it's better to let this person catch you instead.

TAURUS: The most successful relationships are

between two self-sufficient individuals.

GEMINI: Have fun with your visual assets, and highlight them as much as your intellectual gifts. CANCER: Nothing exists without the seed of its opposite inside of it. You are a mysterious mix of energy now. LEO: The new you will make a fresh first impression on someone. VIRGO: You'll last the longest with the one who gets your humor.

LIBRA: Reminder: You are basically a happy person, and your charisma springs from your cheerful personality. SCORPIO: You expect honesty from others, and you'll be surprised by what's revealed.

SAGITTARIUS: Your tolerance level is amazing. A loved one counts on your patience. CAPRICORN: You'll discover how to highlight your attractive qualities anew. AQUARIUS: Personal differences have a way of outweighing attraction. Pick your battles carefully. PISCES: You'll be grateful for past heartache. It reminds you of what matters most.
