An excavator with a mulching attachment takes down vegetation along the Elam Creek banks just south of Waldron Street Wednesday morning. The city has contracted with Mike Pittman Construction for creek cleanup. The contractor also finished the work on Elam Creek south of Harper Road that was be-

gun by another contractor, Asplundh, and left unfinished. In the Linden and Waldron

area near Elam Creek, some smaller drainage channels have also been given attention. A channel near Elam Creek was cleared out during the summer. “It wasn’t probably over 3 or 5 feet at the widest,” said Bynum. “I went ahead and opened it all the way to Elam Creek. You couldn’t even see the bottom of the creek from the bank up here. This has helped contribute to keeping the flooding from getting into Refreshments and Bell Gas and Corinth Gas & Water. When we complete Elam Creek around the east side of Gas & Water, that’s going to help relieve some of the pressure there.” Rip rap was placed to stabilize the banks of the channel.

Pleasant Hill will present its fourth annual Christmas Dinner Theater production, titled “Return to Cricket County” at 7 p.m. each night from Dec. 9, 10, and 11. The church’s pastor, Rev. Dewayne Kirk, said they’re excited about the pro-

duction and about the way the community has responded to their efforts. He said the dinner theater has grown enormously since their first year and space is already almost full for this year’s production. Return to Cricket County is a hillbilly comedy filled with laughter, music and Christmas cheer and is a sequel to last year’s dinner the-

Registration time is almost over for those who want to participate in the upcoming Christmas parade. Main Street Corinth will continue accepting entry applications until Wednesday. The parade is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 3. It will follow its traditional route, beginning in the area of First Baptist Church and the Corinth Library on Fillmore Street. The theme for the 2011 Christmas parade is “1800’s Christmas,” with participants choosing from a wide variety of options from this colorful era that also ties in with Corinth’s founding and Civil War history. As of Wednesday, there were approximately 75 entries for the parade. Rosemary Williams — community volunteer, preservation advocate and proprietor of Waits Jewelry and Fine Gifts — will serve as grand marshall. During the parade a local Boy Scouts group will collect canned goods for the AMEN Food Pantry on the corner of Main Street and Fillmore Street. Parade participants and spectators are encouraged to bring canned goods to contribute to this effort. “We encourage people to hurry up and turn in their applications to The Alliance office. Since it’s closed this week for Thanksgiving, that leaves only three days left to register next week,” said John Orman, president of the Main Street board. For more information contact Main Street Corinth Director Montana Hill at 287-1550.

Six months into its existence, the Corinth Area Young Professionals group is growing up. When the group formed in May as a way to foster connections among young professionals in the area, Alliance Community Development Director Andrea Rose said she hoped the program would grow and become a resource for the community. Now the CAYP is looking to the new year with plans to continue its mission of networking and good times while expanding its role in the community. “After the first of the year we’re starting a committee that will plan the charitable arm of the organization and how to give back to the community,” Rose said. Since its inception the group has been under the direction of its sponsor, The Alliance, but soon the Young Professionals themselves will form committees to decide how the group recruits new members and plans upcoming events. The group meets one Thursday each month for networking, food and fun. The Young Professionals

Corinth’s creek banks are currently getting trimmed. The city contracted with Mike Pittman Construction for creek bank cleanup that has been in progress for the last several weeks and will continue. On Wednesday, an excavator equipped with a mulching head was in operation between Waldron Street and the Norfolk Southern railroad alongside the Corinth Gas & Water Department, taking down vegetation on the Elam Creek bank. After finishing up that area, Street Commissioner Jim Bynum said the work will move to Phillips Creek from Droke Road north towards Shiloh Road and then to Bridge Creek in the wastewater treatment plant area.

Give thanks, help others A group of Corinthians spent their Thanksgiving morning giving others a reason to be thankful. The annual delivery of Thanksgiving meals by members of First Presbyterian Church and friends brought a big crowd to the cafeteria of Corinth Middle School, where an assembly line of workers packed up turkey, dressing and other Thanksgiving staples for people who needed help getting a meal. By the box loads, people loaded meals into their vehicles to deliver to their assigned areas in the 23rd year of the Thanksgiving project. Stacy Brooks, participating for the 11th time, was headed out to make deliveries on South Corinth streets such as Cass, Mitchell and Dorsey. “It’s a great way to give back to my community and help people that may not be as privileged,” she said. She had 34 meals to be delivered to 13 different homes. Participants delivered a total of 1,000 meals. The event has been a family tradition for Ben Albarracin, a Corinth alderman who has worked on the project since he was a youth. “It wakes you up,” he said of the event. “You see that there are people in Corinth and Alcorn County that can’t get ahead.” When making deliveries, he has found that some people are as grateful for the visit as the food. “All they wanted was somebody to come and see them and sit down and talk for a few minutes, and it made their day,” he said. And the need is evident, year after year. “It makes you wonder,” said Albarracin, “if this is something that people need on Thanksgiv-

ing, what are they doing the rest of the time?” Stephen Holly, delivery chairman, has been involved with the project from the beginning. “On this particular day, maybe we can touch a few people that don’t have an opportunity to have a Thanksgiving meal,” he said. “And it’s good for the church. It gets everybody together.” Food Chairman Dick Atkins enjoys seeing the mix of people of all ages come together. “It’s good for our children to see that everybody doesn’t have basically what they want,” he said. Once the church found the right approach for the event, it has steadily grown and is now capped at 1,000 meals. They formerly prepared the food but now use food prepared by Refreshments Inc. “It started years ago when a couple in the church came to me with the idea,” said Don Elliott, pastor. “At that time, they were willing to underwrite it. The concept at the beginning was everybody come to one place and eat.” After drawing a slim crowd of 20 the first year and 30 the second, the church rethought its approach. “We said if we really want to provide a meal, then we need to deliver, go to them, not have them come to us,” said Elliott. The church promotes the Thanksgiving meals by sending information to the 2,000 Alcorn County families who receive food stamps. “Other years we’ve had to turn people down,” he said. “This was one of the few years I can remember we didn’t turn anybody down.” The big crowd working on assembly and delivery is a pleasing sight for the pastor. “We’ve got people from other churches here, we’ve got the college kids here, so it’s one of the most unique fellowship times we have in the church every year,” he said.

Harvey Lambert IUKA — Funeral services for Harvey Lambert, 87, are set for 1 p.m. Saturday at Cutshall Funeral Home Chapel with burial at Antioch Cemetery.

Frustration remains unmet expectations Frustration is unmet expectations. I believe Stephen Covey wrote something like that in one of his books. If I had to characterize our nation’s attitude, I’d say we were frustrated nation. We’ve been Danny afrustrated a long time, more than Gardner a decade. I believe we began to get frusPJ&ME trated when hanging chads held up the final vote count in the 2000 election for president. Since then we’ve had 911, two major wars, lots of bubbles bursting – stock market, housing, banking, etc. – TEA Parties, Occupy Wall Street, and a super committee. Yes sir, we’ve seen a whole lot of frustration going on. What have we been expecting that we haven’t gotten? The one thing just about everybody would agree with: we haven’t had effective and responsible leadership. In 2008 we voted for hope and change and got neither. Instead we got more gridlock, more debt, triple sized deficits, and a downgrade. The super committee was charged with reducing our national debt by $1.2 Trillion over the next ten years. That’s $120 billion per year, or about a nickel out of every dollar spent: chump change. Frankly, that paltry amount wouldn’t put a dent in our debt and would almost certainly not prevent another credit downgrade. This is not a Republican or a Democrat problem. It’s a leadership problem and those in office in DC have failed to lead. It’s time for another change…a real change this time. Arguably, our mounting debt is the biggest threat we face as a nation. Contrary to partisan chattering on cable news outlets, no one in DC has cut anything. No budgets have been cut. Increases have been pared a bit, but no one in Washington has actually cut anyone’s budget. So, all the harem scarem theatrics put on by partisan ideologues about cutting programs necessary to care for our elderly, children, and less fortunate are pure shams. We need someone to set up a responsible budget for Washington that balances revenue and spending. We’ve overspent our revenue by nearly $1.5 Trillion each of the past three years. Those deficits are more than 50-percent more than we actually raised in revenues. Who’s running our government in Washington? We need to cut out of the budget any department or program that is not absolutely essential. We need to reform our tax code in simple terms that make sure everybody pays something into the system. At the very least we need to cap spending where it is today. We’re facing a debt threat that will undo our nation and everybody is frustrated. As Jerry Clower used to say about the coon hunter who was fighting a bobcat up a tree, “Shoot up here amongst us! One of us has got to have some relief.” That coon hunter had been expecting to roust a coon out of the tree, but ran into a surly bobcat. Talk about your unmet expectations! American voters don’t have unreasonable expectations. Washington needs to step up and meet those expectations before it’s too late. (Daniel L.

Searching for perfect candidate Now it’s Newt’s turn. Having risen to the top in some opinion polls, former Cal the speaker of Thomas the House is heat Columnist taking for large consulting fees paid to him by the government-sponsored mortgage company Freddie Mac for wisdom a New York Times editorial said was so simplistic it might have come from a fortune cookie. As Republican presidential candidates rise only to fall when their imperfections are brought to light, Republican voters risk disappointment in 2012 by playing the left’s game on their turf and by their rules. What they must do instead is to protect their “product” at a time when the opportunity to hold Barack Obama to one term, while taking the Senate and increasing their House majority, has never looked better. The best candidate would clearly be a composite of the eight still standing: Mitt Romney’s business sense and debating skills; Newt Gingrich’s experience in Washington and knowledge of how to tear down the

enormous bureaucracy and make government function the way the founders intended; Herman Cain’s political passion and the added bonus of being a conservative African-American; Ron Paul’s fealty to the Constitution and his call for America to rethink its military role in the world; Jon Huntsman’s knowledge of China, which will remain important for decades; Rick Santorum’s and Michele Bachmann’s strong moral voices (along with her singular feminine voice) in an age of societal flux; and Rick Perry’s Southwestern values and evangelical faith. Unfortunately, Republicans can’t vote for a composite; they’ll have to choose one candidate, hopefully one they won’t come to regret. There is something else Republicans must not do. They must avoid making the same mistake Democrats make by looking to government as a first resource. If they are to reduce the size, reach and cost of government, they must demonstrate how they intend to empower Americans. If they are going to deprive Washington of power, they must show people who have ceded personal control to government why they would be better off taking

care of themselves. Tell stories about those who have overcome obstacles to become self-sustaining. The liberal left has so addicted half the country to government entitlement programs and the fiction that they can’t possibly make it in life without the aid of government that many have forgotten the meaning of personal freedom and the power that comes with it. Back to Newt. That Gingrich took money from Freddie Mac, an agency he now derides, may seem like hypocrisy to some, but not to me. I, for example, think the Department of Agriculture should be closed, though I once worked for them. I also received a student loan, which I repaid, though I am now critical of how some of the government’s student loan programs are run. I attended public schools, but believe parents ought to be able to send their kids to a private school if it promises to offer a better education. Am I hypocritical? Gingrich could return his fees to Freddie Mac, but that wouldn’t satisfy his critics. He should only make the offer if some of those top Fannie execs who received fat bonuses gave them back.

For their role in the failed government loan program that aided the bankrupt Solyndra, President Obama and Secretary of Energy Steven Chu are not getting anywhere near the heat Gingrich is getting over Freddie Mac. The U.S. government, as part of its “Fast and Furious” program, sent guns to Mexican drug cartels in hopes of tracing them to cartel leaders and making arrests. Are we holding the administration accountable? There are different standards for Republicans and Democrats. Looking for a perfect candidate will end in disappointment. Consider President Obama, his falling poll numbers and the misplaced faith too many voters had in him in 2008. Republicans should not make the same mistake in selecting the next GOP presidential candidate. By realizing the imperfections in every candidate — and every person — and focusing on the ability of the one who is nominated to do what he promises, Republicans will have a better candidate and the country could have a better (but not perfect) president.

Put tax breaks for mortgages on table BY MICHAEL BARONE Columnist

Supercommittee members Sen. Pat Toomey and Rep. Jeb Hensarling are taking flak from some conservatives for proposing a deal including increases in “revenues,” and a Washington Post reporter had some fun insinuating that they were backing a tax-rate increase. As this is written, no one knows what the supercommittee will do (or not do), but it’s worth taking a look at what Toomey and Hensarling actually were talking about. It may not matter now, but could after 2012. They were raising the possibility, as Barack Obama’s Bowles-Simpson commission did last December, of a tax reform bill that, like the 1986 tax reform act, would eliminate tax preferences and lower tax rates. The 1986 bill was passed with bipartisan support, and there’s a potential for bipartisan support again. The problem in putting such a measure together is that most really egregious tax preferences don’t add up to much money. Just as the big money for long-term

spending cuts must come from changes in entitlements — Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid -- so the big money you can get from eliminating tax preferences comes from three provisions that are widely popular. The three are the charitable deduction, the home mortgage interest deduction, and the state and local tax deduction. The charitable deduction should probably be off the table. The Obama administration has proposed reducing it for high earners. But this obvious attempt to channel flows of money away from the voluntary sector and toward the federal government went nowhere even when Democrats controlled the House and had a supermajority in the Senate. It’s anathema to many Democrats and just about all Republicans. The home mortgage interest deduction may seem similarly sacrosanct. But the fact that the vast bulk of the “tax expenditures” -- the money the government doesn’t receive because taxpayers deduct mortgage interest payments from total income

-- goes to high earners with big, expensive houses. Traditionally it’s been argued that government should provide incentives for homeownership because homeowners more than renters have a stake in their community. But it’s obvious now that we have over-incentivized homeownership, with government encouraging loans to noncreditworthy borrowers. At the same time, high earners don’t need an incentive to buy a home. If we limit the mortgage interest deduction to some amount near the median housing price, some folks will still buy $1 million homes, though they may finance them a little differently. And the government can get more revenue without an economy-crushing tax rate increase. Similarly, what about a cap on the state and local tax deduction? Initial conservative reaction will likely be hostile: Why increase some people’s federal tax bills? Isn’t that attacking a core Republican constituency? Actually, it’s not and not. The state and local tax deduction is worth a lot more to

high earners than to modest earners, and it’s worth nothing to the nearly half of households that don’t pay federal income tax. But it’s worth the most to high earners in high-tax, high-spending states. Those people are more likely to be Democrats than Republicans. The 2008 exit poll tells the story. Nationally, voters with incomes over $100,000 voted 49 percent to 49 percent in the presidential race. Those with incomes over $200,000 voted 52 percent to 46 percent for Barack Obama. In high-tax, high-spending states, Obama did even better with high earners. He carried $100,000-plus voters with 55 percent in Connecticut, 56 percent in New York, 52 percent in New Jersey, 55 percent in Maryland, 54 percent in Illinois and 57 percent in California. All those states have high state income taxes except for Illinois, and it increased its income tax rate by two-thirds earlier this year. And those states contain a huge share of the nation’s highest-priced housing.

JACKSON — Mississippi’s four U.S. House members expressed confidence Wednesday that a federal court will produce a redistricting plan they can accept. The three Republicans and one Democrat said they did not object to a three-judge panel taking over the job of drawing new maps, as the state Republican Party had requested. The judges said they would step in assuming the Legislature doesn’t meet a Dec. 4 deadline set by state law to produce a new map. “The Legislature has, for a lot of different reasons, not drawn the lines, so somebody needs to do it,” said U.S. Rep Alan Nunnelee, a Tupelo Republican. U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, the state’s lone Democratic House member, repeated his objection to his 2nd District being extended south into Adams and Wilkinson counties. For their part, Nunnelee and the state’s two other Republican House members said they object to a plan favored by Thompson that was filed in a different lawsuit. “Absolutely none of Mississippi’s Republican House members agreed to Representative Thompson’s proposed redistricting plan,” said Nunnelee and Reps. Gregg Harper and Steven Palazzo in a joint statement. “While there was an attempt for

the members to come to an agreement, the courts have now intervened and any other maps are irrelevant.” To avoid delays to the Jan. 13 qualifying deadline or the March 13 primaries, the court must act quickly. Robert McDuff, a Jackson attorney representing a group of voters in the case, said he thought it was possible that the panel would complete a new map sometime in December. The judges — U.S. Appeals Court Judge E. Grady Jolly and U.S. district judges Henry T. Wingate and David C. Bramlette — said that assuming they handle the task, they plan to accept objections to their map and possibly hold a hearing. New lines have to be drawn every 10 years after the federal Census to account for population shifts and equalize the number of voters in each district. Each of Mississippi’s four congressional districts should have 741,824 people. The majority-black 2nd District, centered in Jackson and the Delta, is far too small and must grow by nearly 74,000 people. By contrast, northeast Mississippi’s 1st District is much too big, needing to shrink by more than 46,000 people. Central Mississippi’s 3rd district and south Mississippi’s 4th district are each slightly too large, with the 3rd needing to shed 15,000 residents and the 4th needing to shed 12,000 residents.

Casino revenue down in October BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi’s casinos won $182.2 million from gamblers in October, down 5 percent from $191.6 million in October 2010. The 19 river casinos won $93.9 million in October, down 9 percent from $103.5 million in the same month last year, according to Mississippi Department of Revenue figures. Winnings at the 11 Mississippi coast casinos totaled $88.2 million, up slightly from $88.1 million the previous October.

River casino winnings are down 12.2 percent through the first 10 months of the year, reflecting the heavy impact of flooding in May and June. Coast casino winnings are down less than 1 percent for the same period. Statewide, gross revenue is down 6.9 percent for the year, to $1.89 billion. That puts Mississippi’s casinos on track for the fourth straight year of declining revenue since the all-time high in 2007 of $2.89 billion. Allen Godfrey, executive director of the Mississippi Gaming Commission, said a poor economy continues to

weigh down gambling receipts. He said that the river casinos have continued to struggle against the perception that this spring’s Mississippi River flooding caused permanent damage, even though all the gambling halls quickly reopened. “Throughout the whole year, it appears that the coast counties have held more closely to what they did last year,” Godfrey said. He said that although lenders are foreclosing on Resorts Casino Tunica and Bally’s Casino Tunica, the outgoing owner’s financial troubles did not appear to affect

their business. California-based Colony Capital has agreed to turn those two casinos over to lenders in order to hold on to its flagship Atlantic City, N.J., property. Lenders chose Gulfport’s Foundation Gaming Group to manage the casinos, which will keep operating under their current names. The state figures do not include receipts at Indian casinos. Mississippi is not the only state where gambling revenue fell. In Louisiana, gamblers lost about 8 percent less in October. Nevada gamblers lost about 6 percent less in September.

Community colleges seek fair funding Associated Press

HATTIESBURG — Mississippi’s junior colleges are hoping the Legislature can make progress on a four-yearold promise to fund the schools at a pre-student level halfway between K-12 students and students at regional universities. That might seem optimistic given that the first estimates for the fiscal 2013 budget are based on only 0.7 percent revenue growth. A state economist has said that cuts are inevitable for some agencies. Eric Clark. Executive director of the state Board of Community

and Junior Colleges, told the Hattiesburg American Tuesday that there are positive economic signs that the state is breaking out of the recession, as evidenced by the fact that tax collections have surpassed legislative esti-

mates. Community colleges have lost ground on the 2007 goal each of the last four years. Currently, it would take a $2,366 perstudent increase to reach that goal. Clark said that he

doesn’t expect lawmakers to make up that difference in one session. “We understand that you can’t hit that target in one year. We understand that you can’t hit it in two years. We just want some steps taken,” he said.

Tippah Electric Power Association will hold its annual meeting on Thursday, December 8th, 2011 at the Tippah County Fairgrounds Industrial Building at 6:00 p.m.

Woman tries to smuggle drugs in Bible Associated Press

LANCASTER, S.C. — Deputies in South Carolina say a woman used two hollowed-out Bibles to try to smuggle weapons, drugs and a cell phone to a prison inmate. Sheriff Barry Faile said

Monday authorities began investigating 28-yearold Shareca Latoya Jones earlier this month after a package mailed to Lieber Correctional Institution was returned to a post office in Lancaster. Inside the package were two Bibles

containing razor knives, a cell phone, ecstasy pills and more than 28 grams of cocaine. Deputies identified Jones as the person who mailed the package from a Kershaw post office.

Dallas Police honor man who led them to Oswald BY LINDA STEWART BALL Associated Press

DALLAS — Dallas police honored a man this week whose “keen observation skills and strong sense of civic duty” led them to Lee Harvey Oswald, who had crept into the back of a darkened movie theater to hide on Nov. 22, 1963, shortly after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Police Chief David Brown presented Johnny Calvin Brewer with the department’s Citizen’s Certificate of Merit and praised his selfless act and “exemplary conduct” 48 years ago during a ceremony at the Texas Theatre — the same place where Oswald was captured about 80 minutes after Kennedy was killed. “I’m just so overwhelmed,” Brewer, 70, said after receiving the award and watching a video of his 22-year-old self recounting the events of that day. Brewer, a manager at a shoe store located about 90 steps from the Oak Cliff neighborhood theater, was listening to news reports about the president’s assassination when he heard reports that a Dallas police officer, J.D. Tippit, had just been killed a few blocks away. A man whose behavior seemed suspicious then

walked into the foyer of the shoe store. Brewer said the man stared at the display in the window and acted scared as police cars with blaring sirens raced by. After the last squad car passed in one direction, the man stepped out of the store and walked in the opposite direction toward the movie theater. Brewer saw him go into the theater without buying a ticket. He followed him, alerting the woman in the box office to call police. Brewer then shared his suspicions with the concessions operator and the two searched the theater and stood by the emergency exits. Hearing noise behind his alley-exit door, Brewer opened it only to have police guns aimed at him. The movie theater lights went on and Brewer pointed out the suspicious man seated in the theater. Oswald was arrested after a brief scuffle, during which he punched an officer and pulled a gun. As Oswald was taken from the theater he hollered: “I am not resisting arrest,” according to testimony Brewer gave the Warren Commission that investigated the president’s death. Since then, Brewer said he served in the Navy and then moved to Austin,

Networks walking tightrope over crowded debates fairness BY DAVID BAUDER Associated Press

NEW YORK — Keeping the crowded Republican presidential debates fair, lively and topical can seem like the equivalent of juggling while walking a tightrope. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer is the next television personality on stage. He’s moderating Tuesday’s GOP forum in Washington, a little more than a week after a misplaced email from the CBS News political director raised questions about whether networks give short shrift

to candidates they determine have little chance of reaching the White House. The fluidity of the Republican nomination process and the increased importance of the debates make fairness an important issue. Viewership is up significantly compared with a similar point in the campaign four years ago, and political pros say the debate performances of Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry have had a big impact on their poll standings.

where he still lives, having retired from a career in sales. Beaming family members, including two grandchildren, and friends who called him a humble man, were on hand for Tuesday’s ceremony. “Mr. Brewer made a difference in the history of the United States,” Deputy Police Chief Randy Blankenbaker said. “You not only helped us capture the man who shot the president of the United States but you also helped us capture a man who killed one of our police officers.” Tippit’s widow expressed her gratitude to Brewer, as did retired Dallas police officer Ray Hawkins. “I think it’s a little late, but I’m glad he’s finally getting recognition. He’s deserving,” said Hawkins, who said he handcuffed Oswald that day. Brown speculated that the tribute did not occur sooner because Dallas has been trying to move away from the tragedy it’s been associated with for so long that “many of the details of the actions by citizens like Mr. Brewer have been left behind.” But Brown, who became chief last year, said as the department began trying to revisit its legacy and history, Brewer’s story just “jumped out.”

dia Research Center, a conservative press watchdog, said he thinks there is “a tilt” at the networks “toward front-runners.” “The only thing that makes it less unfair is that the front-runners keep changing,” Graham said. That nod to frontrunners was made clear when CBS political director John Dickerson questioned, in an email sent to colleagues on Nov. 12, how much airtime Bachmann would be getting during and after the network’s debate that night. “She’s not going to get many questions,” he wrote in apparent reference to Bachmann’s shrinking standing in opinion polls. The email was mistakenly sent to Bachmann’s campaign, which immediately seized upon it. Keith Nahigian, her campaign manager, said on Facebook that the email was “concrete evidence confirming what every conservative already knows — the liberal mainstream media elites are manipulating the Republican debates by purposely suppressing our conservative message.”

Implausible candidate has implausible story BY HELEN O’NEILL Associated Press

TALLADEGA, Ala. — He’s a mathematician, a minister, a former radio talk show host and pizza magnate. But most of all, Herman Cain is a salesman. And how he sells. “The sleeping giant called ‘we the people’ has awakened,� Cain thunders, pacing the stage in his trademark dark suit, brown fedora and “lucky� gold tie, delivering a rollicking, 45-minute performance that evokes an old-fashioned church revival, complete with cries of “Amen� from his audience. Whether it’s selling his book or his presidential aspirations, this is Cain at his best — grinning and joking and wooing a crowd, soaking in the adulation as he vows to lead the cheering masses to a promised land of “less regulation, less legislation and less taxation.� That’s simplistic, of course. But so is Cain’s message, and he makes no apologies for it. “They want to confuse

you with comp-lex-city,� booms the self-styled “Hermanator,� accentuating every syllable. “I want to lead you with simp-licity.� In the end, he takes no questions, sweeping off to his next stop to the tune of “Rock You Like a Hurricane,� his smile disarming everyone whose hand he shakes along the way. “Is he for real?� asks 75-year-old Jean Waggoner, a longtime Republican activist from Montgomery, Ala. It is a question that has confounded political observers and pollsters alike — just what to make of this unlikely candidate with an inspirational personal story, a magnetic personality, and a campaign like nothing they have ever seen. Allegations of sexual harassment may have tarnished the image of the 65-year-old Baptist minister. And they have certainly rattled his style. His messy denials and memory lapses seem far more like the familiar evasiveness of the “insidethe-beltway� politicians he derides.

Writing of his youth, Cain avoids any detailed examination of those tumultuous times, glancing over the indignities of having to sit at the back of the bus, or drink from the “coloreds� water fountain. While fellow students at the historically black Morehouse College were joining Martin Luther King Jr. in marches and staging sit-ins, Cain joined the glee club. (He is a gifted singer whose mellifluous baritone is often heard along the campaign trail.) Cain gets visibly annoyed at suggestions that as a beneficiary of the civil rights movement, perhaps he should have participated more. He took his cues from his father, he says, who taught him never to expect a government handout, never to feel like a victim and to “stay out of trouble.� “Not all blacks in the ’60s were activists,� says Cain, who labels himself an “ABC — American, black, conservative — and proud of it.� Graduating with a degree in math, he married college sweetheart Gloria

But Cain is still doing well in a series of polls, still raising money, and still vowing that he’s in the race to win. And so the question remains: Is he for real? Cain himself doesn’t offer much of an answer — in interviews, on the stump, in his autobiography or even in his campaign’s puzzling Web ads (one involves his campaign manager puffing on a cigarette; another involves a cowboy on a horse clutching a bunch of yellow flowers). His speeches are mesmerizing, delivered with humor and aplomb. But they offer little insight into the man himself and his extraordinary journey from the projects of segregated Atlanta to the boardrooms of corporate America. “I grew up po’, which is even worse than being poor,� Cain writes in the introduction to his book, “This is Herman Cain! My Journey to the White House.� The book is partly dedicated to his father Luther, a janitor, barber and chauffeur and his mother Lenora, a domestic.

Etchison and went to work as a civilian mathematician for the Department of the Navy. But, dreaming of success in corporate America (he wanted to be president of “something ... somewhere,� he writes) he left to work as an executive, first for Coca-Cola and then Pillsbury, eventually moving to its Burger King subsidiary in 1982. Impressed by his performance, Pillsbury chose Cain in 1986 to revive the foundering Godfather’s Pizza chain, based in Omaha. “As a boss, he was demanding but fair. And he worked harder than anyone else,� says longtime friend Spencer Wiggins, whom Cain first recruited as director of human resources for Burger King and then cajoled into joining him at Godfather’s. “But Herman, it’s in Omaha, man!� Wiggins protested. Cain’s response: “Sometimes you have to leave your comfort zone if you want to make a difference.� Former employees says Cain blew into Godfa-

ther’s like the hurricane depicted in his campaign song, shutting about 200 underperforming stores and eliminating hundreds of jobs. At Burger King, he had launched the “beamer� program, encouraging employees to smile at customers. At Godfathers, he started SIN — Solve It Now, a rapid response program to deal with customers complaints. “He was genuine, warm, demanding and funny; he was the best leader I ever met in my life,� says Paul Baird, his regional manager in Seattle. “And he sounded like a preacher! Everyone was like, who IS this guy?� At Godfather’s, Cain regaled employees with motivational speeches, often ending with the same folksy anecdotes he tells on the trail — like the time, as a boy, his grandfather hooked mules to a wagon to bring a load of potatoes to town. Grandkids were scampering all over the place, until they heard the old man roar. “Them that’s going, get on the wagon! Them that ain’t, get out of the way!�

Nutt’s SEC career ends on sour note BY DAVID BRANDT Associated Press

OXFORD — This wasn’t the way Houston Nutt envisioned ending his Southeastern Conference career. The 14-year league veteran, who led Arkansas for 10 seasons before coming to Mississippi for the past four, has always relished coaching in what he often calls the “toughest conference in America.” But the brutal SEC has a habit of

“I don’t like going out this way. I don’t like losing. I’m very competitive and losing is the thing that just wrenches your gut.” Houston Nutt chewing up coaches, and Nutt is its latest victim. Nutt, 54, will coach his final game at Ole Miss (2-9, 0-7 SEC) on Saturday, when

BATON ROUGE — As huge and heavy as the trophy known as “The Boot” may be, Arkansas and LSU both have much bigger things to play for when their annual Thanksgiving week rivalry is renewed on Friday. This is arguably the biggest game to be played in venerable Tiger Stadium in more than half a century. “This is a game that we really look forward to,” LSU coach Les Miles said, indicating in his own way that the contest between No. 1 LSU and No. 3 Arkansas could be even more important than the so-called “Game of the Century” that the Tigers won in Alabama earlier this month. “It is a game of significance unlike other similar games we have played this year,” Miles said. “Our guys are poised to play a game of significance and (for) an opportunity to achieve all the things they want to achieve.” Death Valley hasn’t hosted a matchup of top-three teams since the famed Halloween night game between No. 1 LSU and third-ranked Mississippi back in 1959, when Billy Cannon’s 89-yard punt return lifted the Tigers to a 7-3 victory. This time, LSU (11-0, 7-0 Southeastern Conference) is looking to go 12-0 for the first time, and both teams are in the running for a bid to the BCS national championship game in New Orleans on Jan. 9. Arkansas’ only loss came at No. 2 Alabama in September, and the Hogs (10-1, 6-1) have steadily climbed the rankings

LSU safety Eric Reid (1) celebrates with safety Brandon Taylor after intercepting the ball from Alabama during the second half of an NCAA football game Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa, Ala. LSU won 9-6. ever since while winning seven straight games. “We’ve certainly improved a lot as a football team since the Alabama game,” Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said. “We’re playing well right now, so we’ve got to carry it over.” If the Tigers win, they’ll wrap up the SEC West and look forward to facing Georgia in the conference championship on Dec. 3 in Atlanta, where a 13th victory would virtually assure LSU a chance to play for at its third national title in nine seasons.

“This is probably the biggest game for us because this determines whether we go to the SEC championship,” LSU safety Brandon Taylor said. “The media hyped up the Alabama game a lot, but this is still a big game for us.” If the Razorbacks, who are nearly two-touchdown underdogs, pull off the upset, things get a little more complicated — and a lot more appealing to those who take pleasure in the prospect of BCS chaos. An Arkansas victory would leave as many as a half-dozen

one-loss teams arguing that they belong in the national title discussion. At the same time, because Arkansas lost to Alabama, which in turn lost to LSU, all three could end up tied atop the SEC West with 7-1 league records. That is, if the heavily favored Crimson Tide beats Auburn in Saturday’s Iron Bowl. In SEC divisional races, the next tiebreaker is highest BCS ranking. Theoretically, the Please see RIVALS | 11A

AUBURN — AJ McCarron and Clint Moseley have a combined four state titles to their credit. Now, the sophomore quarterbacks will vie for the one that really matters throughout Alabama. McCarron has guided No. 2 Alabama into Saturday’s Iron Bowl with Auburn in position to contend for a national championship. Moseley is a small-town product who took over the Tigers’ starting job in midseason and now gets his first shot in the game that most of the state will be tuned into. “I never thought I would be here,” Moseley said. “I can’t really think of many who would’ve ever guessed that I’d get this opportunity besides my mom and my dad.

Conquistadors’ Mays no boaster; coach says best QB in state BY ROD WALKER The Clarion-Ledger

JACKSON — Olive Branch quarterback Todd Mays doesn’t like to boast about his many accomplishments. The dozen or so school records he’s already set. The undefeated record this year. All those last minute gamewinning drives he’s led. But after a reporter insisted, Mays finally gave in and responded to the question... “So, what makes Todd Mays such a good quarterback?”

“I don’t like talking about myself like that,” said Mays. “But I can run. I can throw. I’m smart. And I make good decisions. I guess that’s about it.” Yep, that pretty much sums it up about the leader of the Conquistadors’ offense. “He’s not just some athlete playing quarterback, he’s an athletic quarterback,” said Madison Central defensive coordinator Todd Mangum. “He really poses a problem. If you flush him, he’ll beat you with his legs and if you give him

time, he’ll pick you apart with his arm. He gains the attention of every defensive coordinator he’s faced.” Mangum watched Mays throw for 171 yards and rush for another 133 yards in the season opener in Olive Branch’s 28-24 victory over Madison Central. His team trailing by three with 2:08 left, Mays led the Conquistadors 76 yards for the winning score. Madison Central (11-2) get another shot on Friday when they travel to play the Con-

quistadors (13-0) in the Class 6A semifinals. “I think he’s the best high school quarterback in the state,” said MC coach Bobby Hall. “He’s quick, he’s fast and really good at running their offense. And I’m not just blowing smoke.” For the season, the 5-foot11, 205-pound Mays has run for 1,031 yards and passed for 2,642 more. He is just the second player in school history to Please see MAYS | 11A

eclipse 1,000 yards on the ground and in the air, joining former Dandy Dozen star Anthony Summers in 2005. He’s also accounted for 38 touchdowns this year (25 passing, 13 rushing), topping the school record of 34 set by Cannon Smith in 2006. “He’s our trigger man and what makes us go on offense,� said Olive Branch coach Scott Samsel. “He’s a good kid on and off the field. He’s not very loud and outspoken, but more of a quiet leader. You have a lot of kids who get all the recognition that he gets and they think they are the best thing since peanut butter and jelly, but Todd isn’t like that. He’s stayed humble.� Mays said there is still work to do. “It’s been real special so far,� said Mays. “I have played with these guys and we have really good chemistry. We are fortunate to get three home games in the playoffs and we have to try to take advantage of that. We’re just trying to keep our eyes on the prize and staying hungry.� A victory Friday would put Olive Branch in the state championship game for the first time in school history. It would also give Mays a chance to play on Mississippi’s biggest high school stage and perhaps give college coaches a chance to see him play. After having drawn little interest early, Mays is now getting strong attention from Texas Tech, Indiana, Arkansas State and Memphis. Mays was overlooked by many because of his height. He doesn’t let the slights bother him. “It’s not a problem,� he says. “I just go out there and do what I have to do. It’ll pay off in the end.� While Mays shrugs off the snubs, they bother Samsel. “Everybody says they want to see our players stay in state, but it seems to me we need to keep our scholarships in state,� said Samsel. “If I say Todd is 5-11 1/2, he’s 5-11-1/2, but he’s just as tall as the next guy down the road who folks are saying is 6-1. So the moral of that story is maybe I should start lying and playing that game on the Internet about my players. There’s no doubt he can play.� And Mays says he will, no matter what the position. Yes, he’d like a shot at quarterback. Or maybe even running back. “I like to run the ball, but I can play anything,� said Mays, whose career began as a tight end in peewee ball. “I think I can get a shot at quarterback. But I just want to play.�

RIVALS: LSU urges players not

computers still might keep LSU on top because its victories over both Oregon and Alabama might trump what would be Arkansas’ most impressive win of the season. Taylor said Miles and the LSU coaching staff have urged players to avoid reading about the game and all the possibilities that could unfoald. They’d rather the Tigers focus more on things like slowing down the most prolific passing attack in the SEC, led by Tyler Wilson, who’s thrown for 292.3 yards per game with the help of top receivers Jarius Wright and Joe Adams. “He’s definitely the best quarterback, (and Arkansas has) the best passing attack that we’ve faced,� LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo said. “Their receivers are outstanding and they make big plays, and the quarterback, he delivers the ball on time and right on the money. “It’s just one of those things, as a defense, you have to try to scheme around. You have to make them make mistakes.� LSU will try to keep Arkansas’ offense off the field by controlling time of possession with a deep and powerful running game that has averaged 209.5 yards. Arkansas ranks eighth in the SEC in defending the run, giving up 164.2 yards per game. If LSU has to throw, Miles is not saying whether Jordan Jefferson, who has started the past two games, or Jarrett Lee, who started the first nine, will get the

No. 3 passer with 2,216 yards and 13 touchdowns against five interceptions. “I think he has done a very good job of managing the offense, providing leadership for the offense,� Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said. “He’s made a lot of good throws — a lot of good throws. We’re pleased with the progress that he

has made.� Unlike Moseley, McCarron does have Iron Bowl experience of a sort. He came into the game in the final minute of last year’s 28-27 Auburn win after Greg McElroy went down with a concussion. The result was four straight incompletions but at least a measure of Iron Bowl seasoning.

“In situations like that, you definitely grow as a player,� Tide wide receiver Brandon Gibson said. “He was a young guy last year, and he’s still a young guy this year, but he’s definitely come around through 11 games and gotten a lot better. He’s matured into a great player, and he’ll mature even more as the seasons come.�

ing rusher Jeff Scott are suspended for a second straight game for what Nutt called “a violation of team rules.� “We want this win for the coaches,� Brunetti said. “We want to go out here and play for these coaches who have been with us these last 12 weeks and since January.�

Religion, politics mix goes back to Revolution BY TRAVIS LOLLER Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — If there seems to be a lot of religion in politics this electoral season, at least it has a long history. Vanderbilt University’s James Byrd, an assistant professor of American religious history, says the American Revolution was fueled by a new rhetorical style that came straight from the revivals of the first Great Awakening. In a lecture earlier this month at the Divinity School, Byrd talked about the influence of colonial-era preachers like George Whitefield, who inspired thousands with his showman-like presentations in fields and public squares. “It was said he could reduce an audience to tears simply by pronouncing the word ‘Mesopotamia,”’ Byrd said. Even the normally tight-fisted Benjamin Franklin, in his autobiography, speaks of being coaxed out of all the money in his pocket by Whitefield’s convincing delivery during a collection at the end of a sermon. According to Byrd, preachers like Whitefield brought a change in consciousness that made possible hugely audacious projects like The Revolution and the construction of a republic. As enthusiasm for The Revolution spread, preachers introduced politics into their sermons, with titles like, “The fate of bloodthirsty oppressors and God’s tender care of his distressed people,” delivered in Lexington, Mass., in 1776 by Jonas Clark. In turn, politicians used religion and the Bible to convince people of the justness of their cause. Especially popular was the story of Exodus, in which Moses leads the enslaved Jewish people out of the land of Egypt toward the promised land. In the rhetoric of the time, Great Britain was Egypt and George Washington was Moses — as he is called in numerous eulogies of the day. Thomas Paine, author of the immensely popular pamphlet “Common Sense,” was no religious fanatic, but he also pointed to the Jewish people of the Old Testament to make his argument for a republic. In the early parts of the Bible, the Jews had no kings and there were no wars, he argued. Kings were an import from other cultures and led to problems for the Jews. The moral? “God doesn’t want monarchy,” Byrd said. Byrd’s book, “The Bible and Wartime Patriotism in Revolutionary America,” will be published by Oxford University Press in March.

American Catholics prepare for new Mass translation BY RACHEL ZOLL AP Religion Writer

RIVER EDGE, N.J. — Each Sunday for decades, Roman Catholic priests have offered the blessing -- “Lord be with you.” And each Sunday, parishioners would respond, “And also with you.” Until this month. Come Nov. 27, the response will be, “And with your spirit.” And so will begin a small revolution in a tradition-rich faith. At the end of the month, parishes in English-speaking countries will begin to use a new translation of the Roman Missal, the ritual text of prayers and instructions for celebrating Mass. International committees of specialists worked under a Vatican directive to hew close to the Latin, sparking often bitter protests by English speakers over phrasing and readability. After years of revisions negotiated by bishops’ conferences and the Holy See, dioceses are preparing anxious clergy and parishioners for the rollout, one of the biggest changes in Catholic worship in generations. “We’re tinkering with a very intimate and personal moment,” said the Rev. Richard Hilgartner, executive director of the worship office for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. “It’s public worship, it’s the church’s official public prayer, but for the individual faithful, it’s one of the primary means of their encounter with the Lord.” The biggest challenge will be for priests, who must learn intricate new speaking parts — often

late in their years of service to the church. At an Archdiocese of Newark training at St. Peter the Apostle Church in River Edge, many clergy had just received a final published copy of the Missal, a thick hardcover bound in red, accompanied by an equally dense study guide. Earlier drafts had been available for orientation sessions that have been ongoing for months nationwide. Many clergy are upset by the new language, calling it awkward and hard to understand. The Rev. Tom Iwanowski, pastor of St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church in Oradell and New Milford, N.J., turned to the section of the new missal that calls funeral rites, “the fraternal offices of burial.” “How can I say those words? It doesn’t make sense,” said Iwanowski, who has been a priest for 36 years. “It separates religion from real life.” In the new translation, in the Nicene Creed, the phrase “one in Being with the Father,” will change to “consubstantial with the Father.” When a priest prays over the Holy Communion bread and wine, he will ask God for blessings “by sending down your spirit upon them like the dewfall.” The new missal grew out of changes in liturgy that started with the Second Vatican Council, the 1960s meetings on modernizing the church that permitted Mass in local languages instead of Latin. Bishops in English-speaking countries created the International Commission on English

in the Liturgy to undertake the translation. The panel produced a missal by 1973, but that version was considered temporary until better texts could be completed. As the commission worked to make the Mass more familiar in idiomatic English, some of the language strayed from the Latin. Also in some cases, the commission sought to use language that would be gender neutral. The work took a new direction in 2001, when the Vatican office in charge of worship issued the directive Liturgiam Authenticam, or Authentic Liturgy, which required translations closer to the Latin. The Vatican also appointed another committee, Vox Clara, or Clear Voice, to oversee the English translation, drawing complaints from some clergy and liturgists that the Vatican was controlling what should be a more consultative process. (Cardinal George Pell, the Sydney, Australia, archbishop and chairman of Vox Clara, has called the complaints baseless and ideologically driven.) The Rev. Anthony Ruff, a Benedictine monk and theology professor at St. John’s University in Minnesota, said he was removed last year as head of the music panel of the international translating commission because of criticisms he posted on his blog. In an open letter to U.S. bishops published in the Jesuit magazine America, Ruff cancelled his plans to speak on the text to diocesan priests because, “I cannot promote the new missal translation

with integrity.” In South Africa, church officials accidentally introduced much of the new text in parishes ahead of schedule in late 2008, generating similar complaints about ponderous language, although church officials now say most parishioners have adapted. Jeffrey Tucker, a lay musician at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Auburn, Ala., said he also had concerns about how the translation was handled. Still, he said he found the new missal “extraordinary.” The text and music are truly integrated for the first time since the changes from the Second Vatican Council, Tucker said. He has been introducing the new text to lay people and church leaders in recent months, and has found the reaction to mostly be, “Oh, wow.”’ “The language is more accurate, but that is the most boring thing you can say about it. The more important thing about the language is that it’s beautiful,” said Tucker who is managing editor of Sacred Music, the journal of the Church Music Association of America. “Hardly anything ever good comes out of a committee. This time it did.” Parishes around the United States have spent the summer trying to prepare church members for what’s ahead. Priests have been discussing the changes in homilies, in notices in parish bulletins, and in workshops and webinars. Many clergy plan to use poster-sized laminated cue cards for parishioners as the new text is intro-

duced. The introduction of the new text comes on the first Sunday of Advent, just ahead of the Christmas season — a time when infrequent churchgoers attend services. The Catholic Community at Pleasanton, Calif., which serves 5,000 families in the Diocese of Oakland, has been organizing ministry training sessions and town hall meetings for parishioners to ask questions and express concerns. Mark J. Sullivan, the church music director, said he has seen reactions range from people fully embracing the change to others asking, “Why now?” “They say, ‘I’ve got everything memorized. Why are you messing with it?”’ Sullivan said. “If people do get a little nervous, it because things are in a different place, and it is more content, but it’s more for great reasons. We’ve got more to work with.” The Rev. Michael Ryan, pastor of St. James Cathedral in Seattle, started an online petition called, “What If We Just Said Wait,” that drew more than 22,000 signatures from clergy, lay people, liturgists and others around the world, who urged a limited, one-year introduction of the new translation followed by an evaluation before the text was adopted across the country. Despite the protest, Ryan said he has been preparing parishioners for the change and he will be ready to recite the new text on Nov. 27. “I’m not going to stand apart from the church,” Ryan said.

managing your life in a new and improved manner. Practical action rules. Work your way out of a thinking block, because you’re unlikely to think your way out of a working block. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Tiny arguments rise to the surface of your mind. Should you let them escape your rosy lips, as well? Think it through. With Mercury retrograde, there is much that is best left unsaid. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have to look past appearances to know what’s really going on. The prince will be dressed as a pauper, and the pauper will wear expensive shoes. The wise man will be silent as the fool pontificates loudly about all he knows. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Regardless of what preparations you’ve actually endeavored, you will feel completely ready to take on the day’s events. You have an inner core of confidence that overrides the situation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes you get the feeling that a relationship, career or location isn’t really the perfect fit for you. It will go on as an uneasy feeling until you decide definitively either way. The time is right to choose and stand by your choice. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You need people around you who don’t deplete your energy and who do provide sufficient emotional support. Keep looking until you have that, and don’t settle for less. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). The best place to work out logistics and practicalities is on paper -- and not digital paper, but actual paper. There’s something about seeing your plan laid out in front of you that will bring sudden clarity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You can be set in your ways, and you can just as easily unset them. You’ll witness something you never would have seen had you not ven-

tured outside of a deeply entrenched routine. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You’ll act in a way that is aligned with your ethics and beliefs, with full knowledge that others (even some very close to you) do not necessarily share your ethics and beliefs. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A new fire is burning inside of you, and you’ll apply the energy toward an old goal. It’s time for you to contact those who aren’t so sure you can accomplish this and change their minds. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 25). You’ll get attention because you put things together in a sharp, stylish way. From your appearance to your environment, there’s a certain panache in all you create. You’ll be copied by friends and strangers alike. You’ll get help and reach a personal goal in January. April brings a windfall. June travels are romantic. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 1, 16,

32 and 40. WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Relationships are work. You see all that needs to be done and go forward undaunted. TAURUS: There’s a way to be simultaneously open and wise. Do not assume that everyone is as honest as you. GEMINI: You’ll be a selfless sweetheart, but do make sure to receive graciously when it’s your turn. CANCER: There’s a nurturing, protective influence coming into your life. LEO: You’ll lure someone with your voice and tempt this person with your eyes. VIRGO: What was once a definite “no” will change to a “maybe yes.” LIBRA: You’ll use your heightened senses to go to a deeper level of awareness. You’ll soon understand and predict another person’s behavior. SCORPIO: Instead of responding immediately to a loved one, take your time. You’ll discover an interesting way to play your next move. SAGITTARIUS: You’ll surprise those who know you by changing

the way you look. CAPRICORN: You’ll be in the mood for entertainment, and you’ll be willing to pay a high price for a quality show. AQUARIUS: Loved ones appreciate your assertiveness because you don’t cross into the realm of being confrontational. PISCES: You’ll be game for whatever your friend wants to do. COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Sagittarius and Virgo could spark a fire now, with Venus in Sagittarius and Mars in Virgo. They are both mutable signs who, despite their passionate and strong personalities, are willing to adapt to each other. Indeed, they are motivated by the challenge of learning, pleasing and impressing each other. Virgo can help keep Sagittarius organized, and Sagittarius will add spontaneity to Virgo’s world.

Man’s denial of paternity leaves wife dumbfounded DEAR ABBY: I have recently found out that I’m pregnant. My problem is my husband doesn’t believe the baby is his. He says he and his ex tried for 13 years to have a baby and couldn’t. I don’t know what to say to him. I can’t explain his past with that other woman. My doctor has ordered rest and no stress, but this is taking a toll on me. When the subject comes up, I just walk away and my husband explodes. What do I do? — EXPECTING IN GUAM DEAR EXPECTING: Your husband is “exploding” because you are walking away and won’t discuss this with him. Tell him that you are scheduling an appointment for BOTH of

you with your OB/ GYN. Let the doctor offer to refer him a uroloAbigail to gist who Van Buren can test Dear Abby his sperm c o u n t , which may be low. It would explain why he and his ex were unable to conceive. The problem could also have been hers. ■■■

DEAR ABBY: My 78-year-old mother opens her mouth for only three reasons — to tell me what to do, complain about other people and to remind me that when my older sister died, it left a void in her life no one can fill, including me

and my other sister. Several months ago, I visited Mom and she wasn’t feeling well. She has a heart condition and osteoporosis, which makes her unsteady on her feet. A few weeks later, I called to check on her but couldn’t reach her by phone. Because I live 150 miles away, I asked my uncle to check on her. He went to her house several times and rang her bell, but got no answer at the door. I called other family members and friends, fearful that she had fallen — or worse. Finally, that night at 10 p.m. I called the local police department. When the officers knocked on the door, Mom finally answered and told them that where she was or

what she was doing was no one else’s business! She later told my uncle the same thing. This is a cautionary tale to the elderly or infirm who tell us to leave them alone. WE WILL DO SO. But do not complain when you don’t hear from us, because you can’t have it both ways. — FED UP IN TEXAS DEAR FED UP: OK, you have now vented. Your mother is a difficult woman and you have my sympathy. And now that the dear lady has made clear how she feels, follow your mother’s wishes with a clear conscience. P.S. If you know any of her neighbors, consider asking them to let you know if her newspapers

start piling up. ■■■

DEAR ABBY: My dear friend “Katie” doesn’t share the same religious or political beliefs I do. She enjoys discussing these topics and assumes that everyone agrees with her. If someone tries to disagree, she becomes highly offended and angry. Whenever she brings these issues up, I just stop talking. I have found that no matter how much one argues with someone over controversial issues, no one changes their opinions and only hurt feelings remain. How would you go about tactfully changing the subject? — DIFFERING FRIEND IN LARAMIE, WYO. DEAR DIFFERING

FRIEND: I wouldn’t do it once someone has started proselytizing. I’d do it BEFORE. At a time when you and your friend are involved in some mutually enjoyable activity, mention that certain topics, such as politics and religion, make you uncomfortable and that you’d appreciate it if they weren’t brought up with you. And if she “forgets,” smile sweetly and say, “Who do you think will be playing in the Super Bowl?” (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Top 10 Reasons For Reading A Newspaper: 1. My newspaper has never crashed, gone down or flashed animated ads at me. 2. Anywhere I travel, my newspaper goes with me. I don’t need a laptop or a wireless connection or a PDA. 3. I can read my newspaper while standing, while eating, while riding a bus, but not while driving my car, which is just as well since I should be paying attention to the road. 4. If I read a story I like, I can tear it out and save it, and not have to pay to read it 30 days later. 5. I don’t have to sign in or customize or register or remember passwords to read my newspaper. And I often enjoy articles in my newspaper on topics I wouldn’t normally think I’d be interested in. 6. My newspaper has high-resolution pictures and type on large pages that load almost instantly, making it easy to browse and enjoy. 7. My newspaper is cheap, disposable and easy to replace. If it’s lost or stolen, it’s no big deal. 8. My newspaper is not made of unrecyclable toxic materials. 9. If my newspaper makes a mistake, the correction is posted with an explanation. It’s not sneaky applied to the original story after I’ve read it. 10. I can read my newspaper sitting outside on a nice day in the sun, even if a breeze is blowing, because I know how to fold a newspaper.
