Election would require 20 percent of the city voters to present petition BY BOBBY J. SMITH Governor Phil Bryant has signed a bill that will allow some Mississippi cities in dry counties to vote on allowing alcohol sales. Senate Bill 2497 will allow two classes of municipalities located in dry counties to vote to come out from under dry laws — any city with a population of at least 5,000 and any county seat of a dry county, regardless of population. Elections would require 20 percent of a city’s voters to present a petition. Corinth’s Ward 1 Alderman Andrew “Bubba” Labas said he is very glad the state legislature and governor have given the citizens of Corinth and the city the opportunity to vote on the alcohol issue. “Obviously there’s a debate to be had between those that are

pro-alcohol and those that are non-alcohol, and without getting into that debate, I could argue all day long the pros and the cons of the issue,” Labas said. “I have seen statistics that show throughout the state of Mississippi that dry counties versus wet counties, in wet counties you have higher graduation rates for high schools, higher median income, lower divorce rates and DUI rates are lower.” The governor said the chief reason he signed the bill is that it will provide an increase in local autonomy. “As often as is prudent, all decisions that impact citizens at a local level should be made at the local level through selfdetermination of the people’s right to vote,” he said. “Though I take issue with certain points of this legislation, the right to self-government must be held in the highest regard, and local

governments, at the behest of their citizens, must be granted authority to make their own policy.” District 1 Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter also supported the bill on the grounds of local autonomy. “It’s putting it back in the cities’ hands,” said Carpenter. “This provides for more home rule. If Corinth decides to have the election and it passes, then the board of aldermen would dictate what happens. It gives them more flexibility and it takes it out of Jackson.” The two other Corinth-area legislators in the House — District 2 Rep. Nick Bain and District 3 Rep. Tracy Arnold — voted against the bill. In the Senate, District 4 Rep. Rita Potts Parks opposed the bill as well. The governor said he hopes the legislation will also bring

an end to the “patchwork approach” taken by many municipalities regarding the sale of alcohol and increase the efficiency in the state’s approach to governing alcohol regulations on the local level. “Now that citizens have the local right to vote on this issue, this should end the disingenuous practice of seeking resort area status for the sole purpose of alcohol sales,” Bryant said. The governor expressed “serious concerns” that the bill’s language including county seats with populations of any size may cause significant challenges to law enforcement and burdens on the administrations of small local governments. The Senate bill originally set the population requirement at 6,000 or more, but the number was decreased in the House

Airport project is in final stage BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Crews from APAC Mississippi are currently working on the final phase of construction at the Corinth-Alcorn County Airport. The project to renovate the airport’s taxiway began last year, but was put on hold when winter weather set in. “As with any project, the weather is always a big factor,” said Airport Operations Supervisor Donna Briggs. The temperature has to be above 50 degrees for crews to be able to lay asphalt, Briggs explained, or the asphalt won’t hold up. The funding for the $1.2 million project came primarily from an Airport Improvement Program grant (AIP) from the Federal Aviation Administration. With this setup, the FAA pays 95 percent of the project’s costs, with the remaining 5 percent coming from a mixture of state and local sources — 2.5 percent from the city and county and the other 2.5 percent from the Mississippi Department of Transportation. “When the local cost is only 2.5 percent, you can’t pass that up,” Briggs said. The operations supervisor pointed out that the ongoing construction is not having an adverse effect on airport operations. “We’ve had to close half of the taxi-way, and airplanes have to back up, but we really haven’t had any complaints or lost any business because of it,” she said. Briggs emphasized that the project is using money that the FAA sets aside each year for air-

An investigation continues into the fatal shooting of a Booneville man outside his residence Monday night after police were called to a disturbance. Booneville Police Chief Michael Ramey said 911 received a call at approximately 9:38 p.m. Monday of a domestic violence disturbance at 201 Stanley Street Extended. “Upon officers arriving there was a suspect that was shot one time.

Facing a substantial cost increase, Alcorn County will switch providers for its property, equipment and general liability insurance. The Board of Supervisors held a special meeting Tuesday morning to finalize its insurance decision ahead of the May 1 cut-off date for the existing coverage. The board accepted a proposal from Zurich for just under $200,000 for one year. The expiring premium with Trident was $148,171. Excluding the increase associated with insuring the new jail facility, the county will see a cost increase of about 20 percent, said Ricky James, executive vice president with Renasant Insurance. The county’s property values increased from $16.56 million to $34.16 million. Trident’s quote to continue with the same coverage was $256,236. The Zurich quote accepted by the board will result in a few changes to the coverage — the deductible for property will increase from $2,500 to $5,000; for equipment, from $1,00 to $2,500;

Tickets already on sale for Leon Frazier Memorial Concert BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Kiwanis Club is ready to expand an annual concert so it can give back more. The 15th Annual Leon Frazier Memorial Concert is set for June 2 at the Crossroads Arena with an impressive list of entertainment scheduled to appear. Tickets went on sale Monday at the Crossroads Arena for the

6 p.m. concert in less than two months. “We are hoping to have 1,500 to 2,000 people,” said Kiwanis member Jimmy Rich. “That would be a good concert for us.” In the early years, the event had as many as 2,200 people attend and it annually packed the Corinth Coliseum. “We want to grow the concert and make it a quality event ...

something for the whole family,” added Rich. “The reason the Kiwanis Club began the concert was to remember Leon and help the area students.” Proceeds from the event fund the club’s annual scholarships. Last year, the Kiwanis Club awarded a $1,000 scholarship to 13 Alcorn County students. This year the club will have awarded $158,000 in scholar-

after Rep. Steve Holland (D-Lee County) submitted an amendment lowering the population requirement to 5,000. Of Mississippi’s 82 counties, 27 are entirely dry and 10 or more are partially dry, according to the state Revenue Department. The bill comes in the aftermath of a local effort to hold a city-only vote for liquor sales in Corinth. The Corinth Board of Alder-

men passed a resolution on January 17 seeking legislative approval for a city-only vote on the sale of liquor, but local legislators indicated they would not introduce such a bill. Aldermen said they were not voicing support for liquor but rather trying to give city residents an opportunity to vote on the issue without the county. Past attempts to return Alcorn County to a wet county have failed. Liquor was sold in Corinth for 21 years until 1989, when Al-

corn County voters ended liquor sales and, in a city election, Corinth voters said “yes” to beer sales, resulting in a swap of liquor for beer. County referendums on the sale of liquor in 1993 and 2005 failed to pass. In 2005, Alcorn County voters rejected liquor sales with 5,471 votes against (54.9 percent) and 4,489 for (45.1 percent). Similar numbers resulted from the 1993 vote, with 5,793 voting against liquor sales and 4,386 for.

her ex-husband was involved in a disturbance. Then later he returned to the 201 Stanley Street Extended residence where both resided and a disturbance occurred there, with police being called. Cheryl Curtiss says she was outside when she saw Curtiss move toward law enforcement and an officer tased Curtiss who she said was unarmed. “Then a gunshot went off,” she said. “I literally saw the gun flash.” The shooting apparently took place less than 30 feet from the residence. She said there were three or four officers at the scene. She said David Curtiss

“was slumping, fixing to go down” after being tased when the gunshot was heard. She said police reassured her they did not shoot him. “They told us over and over he was not shot.” However, she said, an emergency room physician told the family Curtiss was shot in the back. “The doctor said there was no exit wound.” Ray Hall, Mississippi Highway Patrol Public Affairs Officer Troop F, said Tuesday morning the shooting remains under investigtation as there were still witnesses to interview. Hall said more information would be released Wednesday.

a 450-foot section of the taxiway’s north end, workers had to cut down two feet, remove the soil and build up a stronger foundation. This week the crews are doing the milling and clean-up work. Next week they will return to begin laying asphalt.

Banquet raises funds for wild turkey habitat BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The Northeast Mississippi Longbeards Chapter is turning to “T-Bone” to increase interest in the National Wild Turkey Federation. Travis “T-Bone” Turner, an ASA and APA certified professional archer and from the hit show Bone Collector, will be the featured speaker at the local chapter’s Hunting Heritage Banquet on Thursday night at the American Legion in Corinth. “He is an archery and hunting guru,” said local NWTF chairman Billy Miller. “Everyone who knows anything about hunting -- knows who he is.” Tickets for the event are $50 for single, $75 for couple and $300 for sponsors. The ticket covers meal, sponsorship and member-

ship in the NWTF. “The NWTF spends a lot of money in Mississippi preserving the turkey habitat,” said Miller. “We want to get the awareness out there about NWTF and try to start a JAKES Chapter for kids.” The chairman would also like to possibly bring a Women in the Outdoors event to the area. The NWTF and its members have helped restore wild turkey populations throughout North America, spending more than $372 million to conserve nearly 17 million acres of habitat. A silent auction and raffle will be held during the banquet. Doors open at 6 p.m. and tickets can be purchased at the door. Advanced tickets can be purchased by calling Miller at 662-286-9174 or by picking them up at

Lonnie’s Sporting Goods on Harper Road. “We have several nice guns that will be auctioned and a beautiful outdoor grill to be raffled,” added Miller. Several hunts are also slated to be auctioned as well as a guided fishing trip and several prints. Turner, who started his own archery business, has held the Outdoor 3-D Archery Word Champion title. He has appeared on numerous television shows and videos, including Realtree’s “Monster Bucks” video series. “Whether it’s in a tree stand or competing in an indoor arena, I just love to be around hunters and archers who have a desire to shoot and have a good time,” he stated on his web site. “I can’t tell you how many friends I’ve made just having fun.”

Corinth, Miss.

Other views College costs may soon reach a tipping point We don’t buy Higher Education Commissioner Hank Bounds’ assertion that Mississippi’s universities have cut all they can from their operations without sacrificing quality. Every university in this country is heavy on administration and light on the teaching demands of faculty. Mississippi is no different. Nevertheless, there is no arguing with the trends that have occurred in higher education funding in this state for more than a decade. In divvying up the taxpayer-supported education budget, lawmakers have been shifting a greater share of the allocation to K-12 schools, thus forcing universities -- and community colleges, too -- to fund their operations by getting more from those who enroll. The costs of tuition and room and board have been rising rapidly, and more hikes are on the way. The College Board gave preliminary approval to a plan that will raise tuition by 14 percent over the next two years. That comes on top of a nearly 7 percent increase that took effect last fall. In dollar terms, the tuition increases, if fully implemented, will require in-state students to come up with an extra $1,000 a year and out-of-state students $2,000. For families pinched by stagnant earnings and students already burdened with debt, a hike of this magnitude — well higher than the pace of inflation — is tough news. The universities can provide lots of statistics to justify the increases. The state appropriation, when adjusted for inflation, is 35 percent less per student than it was in 2000. State funding, which covered 56 percent of the universities’ budgets in 2000, now only covers 37 percent. Overall, the tuition at Mississippi universities is about 20 to 30 percent less than at their peers in the South. Household income in Mississippi, however, is also about 20 percent less -- something that those in higher education gloss over when they draw their comparisons. So far, students and their families have been willing to swallow the cost hikes. Enrollment at the state universities overall is up 15 percent since 2000. At some point, though, the cost — if it continues on this trajectory — will reach a tipping point. Students who would otherwise seek a university education will be priced out. Something has to give. Either the state must come up with more public money, or the universities will have to better learn to do with less. You can’t keep raising prices faster than inflation and expect families to keep up. — The Greenwood Commonwealth

Prayer for today Dear Lord, help us to turn to you for guidance daily, knowing that you care about every aspect of our lives. Amen.

There’s something rotten in the State With the number of Secret Service members and agents caught up in the partyingwith-prostitutes scandal in Cartagena now at a dozen, and six already gone, how much wider and deeper does this go? No one can take pleasure in seeing Secret Service agents — whose deserved repuPat tation is that Buchanan they will “take a bullet” for Columnist the president, his family and all whom they protect — shamed and disgraced. Yet one would have to be naive to believe this was some isolated incident. No sooner was the first day's work done in Cartagena than 20 hookers were trooping into the hotel rooms of SS agents, supervisors and members of the military advance team. And Sen. Charles Grassley asks a relevant question. As the Secret Service travel and work in close contact with the White House Advance Office and White House Communications Agency, was the Obama staff oblivious to this misconduct? If they were aware of it, did no one report it to the White House chief of staff? Hostile intelligence services often use “honey traps” to ensnare U.S. diplomats and journalists. Thus this

Marine One to Andrews Air Force Base to board Air Force One to fly to some swing state, while his staff finds an official cover event so the White House can charge most of the trip to taxpayers. Has any other president spent so many days campaigning, half a year and a year before the traditional Labor Day start of the election season, or used tax dollars so flagrantly to buy re-election? The sense of entitlement appears to extend to the Obama family. In 2010, at the bottom of the Great Recession, Michelle Obama, accompanied by daughter Sasha and friends, took Air force Two to Spain for a lavish vacation. The first lady paid for her stay at a five-star hotel in Marbella, but the cost of flying her there and moving her about, with scores of Secret Service agents, had to run into the millions. And the trip came at a time when President Obama was instructing the nation on the need to sacrifice and the number of Americans on food stamps was setting a new record every month. How many so-called “1 percenters” project a lifestyle as lavish? Last December, flying out of the District of Columbia in separate planes, the first couple took a two-week Christmas vacation at a resort in Hawaii, the taxpayers' cost of which has been estimated at $4 million.

Winters in Hawaii, summers in the Vineyard, and with it all subsidized by taxpayers? What kind of example is this? Where is the spirit of sacrifice here? Is this the same president who talks about having inherited the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s? Lately, we learned that Leon Panetta, in the 10 months he has been secretary of defense, has spent $860,000 of taxpayers' money on 27 separate trips to his home in Monterey, Calif. Curing Leon of his homesickness is getting expensive. What all of the above reveals is how the Party of Government views the government. They see its perks, privileges and power as their entitlements, their inheritance, their patrimony. And there is some truth to that. After all, the bureaucracy was built up in the New Deal and Great Society, and remains dyed-in-the-wool Democratic. Even when the GOP wins the White House, the conservatives are outsiders in this city. Even when Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan won their 49-state landslides, neither came even close to carrying Washington, D.C., the sole Electoral College precinct that has never gone Republican. While John McCain lost the nation by eight points to Obama, he lost Washington, D.C., by 86 points.

hookers-and-agents scandal is no laughing matter. And it hit just as we learned that the General Services Administration, purchasing agent for the U.S. government, shelled out $823,000 on a party for 300 employees at a casinospa in Las Vegas, where the hired entertainment included a mind reader, a clown and a $75,000 bicycle-building exercise. Jeff Neeley, the GSA western regional commissioner, invoked the Fifth Amendment rather than testify to Congress about what is now being investigated as criminal misconduct. President Obama's appointee to head GSA, Martha Johnson, has resigned. Infinitely larger in terms of the tax dollars looted or lost is the Solyndra scandal, where a green technology company favored by the White House went belly up after receiving an endorsement visit from Obama and an astonishing half-billion dollars in federal loan guarantees. These events all point to a culture of entitlement born of a belief that now that the Democratic Party, the Party of Government, is again running the government, we can “let the good times roll” once more. And so we see President Obama for six months literally campaigning on the public dime. Not a day seems to pass that he is not helicoptering off the White House lawn on

NEW ORLEANS — The first thing you notice are the hats. That's because these are hats made to be noticed, with feathers and netting and glitter and bodacious color. What's the point of dancing in front of thousands of people if your Rheta hat doesn't Johnson have an exhibitionist Columnist streak? I think music bacchanalias like the French Quarter Festival must hire exotic young people from Central Casting. There is a look reserved only for such events that most of us don't have, a sort of “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” meets “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.” We wouldn't have that look even if they assigned us hats. Let's just conclude that you no longer have to go to Bourbon Street to see skin,

and that self-mutilation is “in.” But older festivalgoers in boring khaki walking shorts know the ropes. They know how to avoid throngs of young people. The space around a small traditional jazz stage in Dutch Alley fills quickly with game geriatrics, most hauling chairs that will be positioned in a rare spot of shade and won't move again all day. There comes a point in your life when a crowded festival seems more like work than play. But I keep pretending I haven't reached that point. And so I brave the crowds. I want to hear the Pfister Sisters sing jazzy harmony and the Pine Leaf Boys sing Cajun. I eventually will manage both. I also want to eat at a few of the dozens of food tents set up by New Orleans' most famous eateries, from Galatoire's, which has a wonderful shrimp BLT po'boy, to Bubba Gump's, advertising shrimp cake. And I wouldn't turn down

K-Paul's butterbeans and rice with trinity, chicken, pork, andouille, tasso and duck, which today costs only $5. I can handle the BLT only because a nice young man named William Trahan jumps up and offers his seat when he sees me struggling to balance my bag and the po'boy. “Here, sit down, the rest of my party hasn't arrived,” he insists. That's one thing about New Orleans that never seems to change, no matter the occasion. It has manners. Individuals, most of them, go out of their way to be courteous. Statistically, you may get mugged and murdered before you leave town, but otherwise you'll be treated like royalty. From the stage in Jackson Square, Pfister Sister Holley Bendtsen gives a nod to Andrew Jackson for defeating the British. “That's why there are no Puritans here,” she says. She and her stage sisters have the kind of pleasingly plump bodies

that both benefit their lusty singing and keep them from having to pay for cleavage. When they harmonize on “Mood Indigo” it's as if they are triplets co-joined at the lungs. It gets to be too much eventually. I visit the Tums tent and make my way toward a quieter street outside of the Quarter. Even the quieter New Orleans streets are not quiet visually. The hot-pink bougainvillea is everywhere, and the gardenias leave limp their bloom-burdened bushes. A 1959 Chevrolet parked curbside is painted with voluptuous mermaids and wears this slogan: Good Work Ain't Cheap. Cheap Work Ain't Good. I feel revived enough to visit a store with AC. I buy a hat, a practical straw number with a shading brim. But, all the same, it is a hat. (To find out more about Rheta Grimsley Johnson and her books, visit www. rhetagrimsleyjohnsonbooks.com.)

State Briefs Associated Press

Bar dismisses complaint vs. Hood JACKSON — The Mississippi Bar has dismissed a complaint against Attorney General Jim Hood over a political ad tied to the killing of a Louisiana priest. Attorney Brian Alexander of Bay St. Louis filed the complaint last November. It alleged that Hood’s ad tainted the prospective jury pool by referring to Jeremy Wayne Manieri as someone who “murdered a 70-year-old priest in cold blood.” Manieri died in prison in January in an apparent suicide before going to trial. Alexander was his lawyer. The political ad was

aired during last year’s campaigns. Hood, the incumbent Democrat, defeated Republican Steve Simpson in the Nov. 8 election. The commercial portrayed Simpson, a former judge, as being weak on crime. The commercial showed a picture of Manieri while a narrator said Simpson, a former judge, let a “child molester” out of jail who later “murdered a 70-year-old priest in cold blood.” The bar dismissed the complaint April 13 because it said there wasn’t “clear and convincing evidence” that a violation occurred. “It’s a bit underwhelming and I feel very unsatisfied, but I have to re-

spect the commission’s decision,” Alexander said Tuesday. He had no other comment. Adam Kilgore, general counsel for the bar, said Tuesday that rules prohibit him and other bar personnel from commenting on a complaint or even confirming one exists unless public discipline is imposed. Hood’s office didn’t immediately respond to messages. Manieri was found dead in a prison cell in Rankin County with a sheet wrapped around his neck. He had been charged with shooting the Rev. Ed Everitt of Hammond, La., in July 2011 at a beach house in Waveland.

Manieri had been charged by police but had not been indicted by a grand jury. Alexander’s complaint said all people accused of crimes have the right to the presumption of innocence.

Pugh loses appeal of conviction JACKSON— The state Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of Eddie James Pugh IV for his role in a 2008 double kidnapping and slaying. Pugh was sentenced to life without parole in 2010 in Jackson County for capital murder. Authorities say Pugh was one three men who kidnapped, shot and wounded New Orleans

native Rahman MoGilles and shot and killed Byron Kelsey McCoy. Prosecutors say the trio allegedly forced MoGilles and McCoy into a vehicle and drove them into Mississippi. McCoy died of gunshot wounds and MoGilles was wounded. They set fire to the vehicle containing McCoy’s body. The Appeals Court on Tuesday rejected all of Pugh’s claims on appeal, including a challenge to some physical evidence and alleged flaws in his indictment.

Judge: damages cap unconstitutional JACKSON — A state judge has declared a legislatively imposed cap

on how much juries can award in non-economic damages unconstitutional. Circuit Judge Charles Webster in Coahoma County issued the ruling April 20 in a 14-page opinion. He criticized the Legislature for intruding into judicial authority. Webster’s ruling came in a motion filed by Cleveland attorney Ralph E. Chapman in lawsuit seeking damages in the death of a child in an apartment complex fire. A Coahoma jury in September returned a verdict for the plaintiffs that included $6 million in noneconomic damages. State law that went into effect in 2004 limits awards for non-economic damages to $1 million.

her pen until police called asking if the family owned a dairy cow. She says they told her it was “up at McDonalds,� so she fetched the cow and took her home. Brush police clerk Vivian Llewellyn joked Tuesday that Darcy “didn’t get her burger.�

Senate stops measure to nullify union rules WASHINGTON — The Senate rejected a Republican attempt Tuesday to overturn new regulations designed to give unions quicker representation elections in their effort to organize more workplaces. The 54-45, largely party line vote against a resolution of disapproval leaves intact National Labor Relations Board rules that are scheduled to take effect April 30. Unions had sought the rules changes while business groups opposed them. Senate Democrats unanimously supported the new regulations. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski was the only Republican supporting them. Under the existing regulations, workers typically vote within 45-60 days after a union gathers enough signatures from workers saying they want to hold an election. The new rules could cut that time by days or even weeks by simplifying procedures and putting off some challenges until after the election is held, cutting back hearings and reducing legal delays. Unions call the changes a modest fix to prevent companies from using stalling tactics to delay a vote while workers can be subject to harassment, threats and even illegal firing. Republicans argue the new rules will lead to “ambushâ€? elections that barely leave company managers enough time to respond or counsel against forming a union. The NLRB has been the focus of intense partisan bickering since President Barack Obama gave the independent agency its first Democratic majority in nearly a decade. The board has issued a number of rules and decisions that tend to favor unions over business interests. “The National Labor Relations Board seems to be hell bent on changing processes across the board more for political reasons than for substantive reasons,â€? Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said during floor debate. Â

Washington delicate about latest scandal WASHINGTON — The widening Secret Service prostitution scandal has touched off a delicate dance in Washington. People are loath to criticize an agency whose employees are trained to take a bullet for the people they protect. Members of Congress pressing for the juicy stories risk reviving — or having revealed — some of their own. Yet all parties claim to want the truth about the

extent of sworn officers working for one of the nation’s premier law enforcement agencies hiring Colombian sex workers ahead of President Barack Obama’s visit there and whether national security may have been compromised. Spinning the facts as they emerge poses more risk: The Secret Service and the military are supposed to be above politics, dedicated to protecting presidents, their families and the nation. “Sure, it creates a problem for President Obama. It adds to the sense that Washington is broken. But if the Republicans try to make this a point in their arguments, they are making a big mistake,� GOP strategist Karl Rove said on “Fox News Sunday.� A dozen Secret Service personnel and another 12 military enlistees preparing for Obama’s visit to Cartagena are being investigated for cavorting with prostitutes. Six Secret Service agents have been let go over the incident, and on Monday, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters his department has suspended the security clearances of the military personnel being investigated. As many as 20 prostitutes were involved with the group, officials say. None are believed to be underage. The incident came to light after one of the prostitutes argued with a Secret Service agent over her payment in a hallway of the Caribe hotel. Local law enforcement intervened on the prostitute’s behalf. Paid sex is legal in Cartagena, but violates codes of conduct for U.S. personnel who were working there.

Romney super PAC gift among mysteries WASHINGTON — A once-mysterious $400,000 check written to a “super� political action committee supporting Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign rekindled a nagging question this election season: Just how much disclosure is enough to satisfy transparency? The Florida husband and wife behind the contribution were identified Monday as the beneficiaries of an investment fund and are among Romney’s top Florida fundraisers. But up until then, the donation to the Restore Our Future super PAC — which reported the contribution from an unknown Florida firm called SeaSpray Partners LLC — left more questions than answers. Inquiries about the donation intensified over the weekend after a Florida man who owned a similarly named company in Palm Beach told news

organizations he never donated to the pro-Romney group. It turned out that Restore Our Future listed the wrong address for the actual SeaSpray donor. The super PAC at first declined to disclose more about the mystery donors, but as the controversy grew, the committee on Monday acknowledged the Florida couple’s role. Restore amended its federal filings Tuesday, naming the Florida couple as the two donors. Welcome to the reality of recent federal rulings that have changed rules on how federal elections are financed. Those court cases, including the Supreme Court’s 2010 ruling in Citizens United, gave a green light to corporations and labor unions to spend unlimited amounts of cash to support or defeat candidates. The federal rulings upheld longstanding disclosure requirements, and super PACs that receive that cash still file periodic reports with the Federal Election Commission. But regulations require that only basic information about a company be reported; as such, SeaSpray’s history and background effectively remained anonymous. Â

Obama takes on college costs issue WASHINGTON — Wooing young voters, President Barack Obama is on a blitz to keep the cost of college loans from soaring for millions of students, taking his message to three states strategically important to his re-election bid. By taking on student debt, Obama is speaking to middle-class America and targeting an enormous burden that threatens the economic recovery. Before Obama got his road trip under way, Republican opponent Mitt Romney found a way to steal some thunder from the president’s campaign argument: He agreed with it. The competitors are now on record for freezing the current interest rates on a popular federal loan for poorer and middleclass students. The issue is looming because the rate will double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1 without intervention by Congress, an expiration date chosen in 2007 when a Democratic Congress voted to chop the rate in half. Obama is heading to campuses in the South, West and Midwest to sell his message to colleges audiences bound to support it. As he pressures Republicans in Congress to act, he will also be trying to energize the young people essential to his campaign — those who voted for him last time and the many more who have turned voting age since then.

Fed meeting ends

Turbulent quarter?

Will the Fed stick to its plan to hold interest rates near record lows until at least late 2014? That’s the key question as the Federal Open Market Committee wraps up two days of meetings today. The nation’s economic picture has been mixed of late. The trade deficit is down and inflation is tame, but hiring slowed sharply in March after three months of strong job growth. Still, most economists expect the Fed meeting won’t yield any new policy initiatives.

Wall Street anticipates that Delta Air Lines will report a smaller loss for its first quarter today. The carrier has been struggling with the high cost of jet fuel, its biggest expense. To cope, Delta has raised fares and cut some flights to match demand. The strategy worked last year, and the airline turned a profit for the second year in a row.

Romo feels he is getting better BY STEPHEN HAWKINS Associated Press

IRVING, Texas — Tony Romo still wakes up thinking about how he can get better at football, not if he is running out of chances with the Dallas Cowboys. The quarterback and firsttime father also gets a smile on his face being around his newborn son each day. “Yeah, I think it’s definitely a good change and as you continue to grow, you obviously go through the different life

changes,” Romo said Tuesday after a workout at Valley Ranch, four days after his 32nd birthday. “We’re lucky enough to have everyone be healthy and through the process and it just makes you smile every morning. It really does.” While Romo is just getting starting in fatherhood and has been married less than a year, he is heading into his 10th season since joining the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent. There are only two

years left on his contract, and he’s got only one playoff victory in his six seasons as the starting quarterback. Romo threw for 4,184 yards with 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions last season, but the Cowboys were 8-8 and missed the playoffs for the second year in a row. “It’s frustrating whenever you don’t accomplish your goal each season and obviously that’s to win the Super Bowl,” Romo said. “The thing I can control is how hard I

work, how much better I’m getting every single year and am I bringing these guys along to make them as good as they can be. Because that’s part of my job and I think that that’s part of what it takes to win a Super Bowl. And that’s what we’re doing.” The three-time Pro Bowler said the exciting part personally is that he still thinks he is getting better every year. When asked how much Please see ROMO | 9A

McNairy athletes compete in Special Olympics BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

JACKSON, Tenn. — An excited group of Special Ed students from McNairy County participated last Thursday in the district competition of Tennessee’s Special Olympics. The event was held at the University School of Jackson.

The Special Ed students from McNairy Central High, Selmer Middle and Selmer Elementary were all a part of the competition on Thursday. McNairy County sent about 60 athletes to compete in this event. This year’s theme is “Unlocking the Power of Sports.” “I love the Special Olym-

pics because of what it means to our students and how it allows them to compete in sports,” said Meg Day, Special Ed teacher at Selmer Elementary. “It is fun to watch them participate.” Day said that helping as a volunteer at the Special Olympics while a student at Freed-Hardeman University

resulted in her changing her major from interior-fashion design to special education. “My social club helped with the event and I knew after that I was supposed to be a Special Ed teacher,” said Day. “I love sports and want everyone to have a chance to be athletes.” Please see MCNAIRY | 9A

Falcons pursue Eagles’ cornerback Samuel BY CHARLES ODUM Associated Press

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons were in negotiations on Tuesday to acquire cornerback Asante Samuel from the Philadelphia Eagles. A trade for Samuel would provide a highlight to what has been a relatively quiet offseason for the Falcons, who have worked to retain their free agents instead of making a splash through trades or free agency. The Falcons have six picks

but no first-round selection in the NFL draft. They hope to acquire Samuel before the draft, according to a person familiar with the talks. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Tuesday because the deal, which may include a draft pick, is not complete. Samuel, 31, is a four-time Pro Bowl pick. He would give the Falcons’ new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan a strong trio at cornerback with Dunta Robinson and Brent

Grimes, who Tuesday signed his franchise tag tender. Grimes will make $10.262 million this season. Grimes’ agent, Ben Dogra, said the cornerback would like a deal that lasts beyond the 2012 season. “We will continue to talk and the goal is to hopefully reach a long-term deal at some point,” Dogra told The Associated Press. Samuel’s contract calls for him to earn $9.9 million in 2012 and $11.4 million in 2013. He might rework the

deal to help the trade fit the Falcons’ salary cap. The Falcons began their offseason program on Monday. Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff was New England’s director of scouting when the Patriots selected Samuel in the fourth round in 2003. Samuel set a career high with 10 interceptions for the Patriots in 2006. Samuel signed a six-year deal with the Eagles in 2008. The Eagles acquired cornerPlease see SAMUEL | 9A

The athletes were able to compete in the running & standing long jump, softball throw, a 50-meter walk, a 100 & 200-meter race, a relay race and wheelchair race. “This was wonderful for me to watch and I enjoyed being a part of it,” said Jake Kiser, the PE teacher for the county’s Special Ed students. “Our students were so excited about going to the district competition.” The global Special Olympics movement started on July 20, 1968, when the first International Special Olympics Games were held at Soldier Field in Chicago. However the concept of Special Olympics was thought of much earlier, when Eunice Kennedy Shriver started a day camp for people with intellectual disabilities at her home in 1962. Tennessee’s Special Olympics began in 1974. Special Olympics Tennessee is a program which through quality sports training and competition improves the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and, in turn, the lives of everyone they encounter.

ROMO CONTINUED FROM 8A

longer he wants to play, Romo smiled and responded, “15 more years, maybe.” He later said he’d probably stop only when he feels he is regressing, but he doesn’t feel that is close to happening yet. Still, he has to be taking better care of himself since he’s getting older. Right? “Nah, that’s probably not accurate yet. I think that I didn’t start playing in the league at 22, 23. A lot of that’s the hits that you take over time,” he said. “So I think I’ll probably have a lot of that stuff later on. That probably starts creeping in about 34, 35. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it until a little later than that before you start feeling that.” Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, who won three Super Bowls for the Cowboys in the 1990s, recently made comments about Romo already being a better quarterback than he ever was during his 12 seasons with the Cowboys. Romo responded that Aikman is “on his own mountain top by himself,” a place where he doesn’t belong. When Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked about those comments at the NFL meetings last month, Jones said he had three Super Bowl rings because of Aikman. “We have many things I think that we agree on. His assessment that Romo is a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback is one that we really agree on,” Jones said. “But I have a little hard time making the same comparison he did.” Jones said such discussions give credence to why he was “as disappointed as I am about last year, and as positive as I am about this year or years to come.” Romo quickly pointed out that aside from Dan Marino, there will rarely be discussions about greatest quarterbacks who didn’t win a Super Bowl.

Lakers’ Peace suspended 7 games for elbow BY GREG BEACHAM Associated Press

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Lakers forward Metta World Peace was suspended seven games by the NBA on Tuesday for throwing a vicious elbow at Oklahoma City’s James Harden, meaning the Los Angeles starter likely will miss six playoff games. World Peace was ejected from Sunday’s game against the Thunder for striking Harden in the head, giving him a concussion. World Peace claimed the contact was an accidental, overzealous celebration of a dunk. World Peace will miss the Lakers’ season finale on Thurs-

day at Sacramento and the next six games for which he is eligible. The playoffs open Saturday, and Los Angeles is likely to be the Western Conference’s third seed. Commissioner David Stern alluded to the former Ron Artest’s history of on-court altercations in announcing the penalty in a statement. “The concussion suffered by James Harden demonstrates the danger posed by violent acts of this kind, particularly when they are directed at the head area,” Stern said in a statement. “We remain committed to taking necessary measures to pro-

tect the safety of NBA players, including the imposition of appropriate penalties for players with a history of on-court altercations.” The suspension is Artest’s third career ban of at least seven games. He got an 86-game suspension in 2004 for jumping into the stands at the Palace of Auburn Hills in the Detroit suburbs to fight fans, and he served a seven-game suspension in 2007 for his no-contest plea on a domestic violence charge. Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said the team “accepted” the suspension.

“His most recent lapse in judgment is not to be condoned or accepted,” Kupchak said after praising World Peace as largely a model citizen during his three years with the club. “His actions could have seriously injured another player, and his absence during this suspension will hurt our team as well,” Kupchak added. “While we accept the league’s decision, we will be supportive of Metta and try to help him be more professional on the court.” World Peace didn’t speak to the media after the Lakers’ practice Tuesday, heading to the locker room.

SAMUEL CONTINUED FROM 8A

backs Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique RodgersCromartie before the 2011 season, creating a trio that didn’t mesh. An Atlanta trade of one or more draft picks for an established veteran such as Samuel would be another sign Dimitroff’s focus is on 2012 instead of the future. That’s fine with quarterback Matt Ryan. “I’m certainly in a winnow mode,” Ryan said Tuesday. “I think that’s the only way you can approach the NFL. Every time you suit up and every time you play, it’s for one reason and that reason is to win.” Ryan said Samuel, who had 30 tackles and three interceptions in 2011, has been a difficult opponent. “As far as Asante Samuel, I can only speak for

having played against him a number of times and I know that’s he’s been extremely difficult to play against and has done a great job against us when we’ve played him in the past,” Ryan said. The Falcons were 10-6 last season and 13-3 in

2010 but lost their first playoff game each season. An improved secondary would boost the team’s hopes for 2012. Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon called Samuel “a player who would improve anyone’s defense.”

Lap leader again denied win Some familiar scenarios played out at Kansas Speedway on Sunday as Martin Truex Jr. led a race-high 173 laps in the STP 400, but wound up getting beat by Denny Hamlin. It was the eighth time in 13 races at Kansas that the driver who led the most laps did not win. Hamlin’s victory was the 19th of his career and his second of 2012. He’s now fifth in the standings, 23 points behind leader Greg Biffle. Truex finished second and jumped two spots to second in the standings, 15 points out of the lead. For the second straight week, a Sprint Cup race set new records for speed and for caution flags. There were only three cautions at Kansas for 18 laps, breaking the old track records of five and 23 laps. That led to a record race speed of 144.122 miles per hour, topping the old mark of 138.077 mph set by Biffle in October 2010. The week before at Texas, there were two yellow flags for 10 laps, breaking the old track records of five yellows and 21 laps. That led to a new race record speed of 160.577 mph, breaking the mark of 152.705 mph set last fall by Tony Stewart.

Hendrick awaits 200th Cup win

D

ale Earnhardt Jr.’s interest in racing history is well-documented, as anyone who ever watched his old “Back in the Day” TV show can attest. His interest in Earnhardt family history is just coming to light. It came out last week, during Earnhardt’s session with the media at Kansas Speedway, when he was asked about the visit to the White House by last year’s Chase participants. “I’d been there before, and it was pretty much the same tour, but every time you go through it I think you find something interesting that you missed the time before,” he said. “I didn’t really appreciate how old some of the artwork and stuff is in that house until I did some work on my family tree these last six months. “I’ve started to understand what 200 years really means or what 150 years truly means in the grand scope of things.” He said he’s spent a good bit of time lately researching his family tree and truly enjoyed it. “We don’t have time today to talk about how much fun I’ve had with working on my family

Ralph Earnhardt in an undated photo. (NASCAR photo) tree,” he said. “I was fortunate enough to find someone in the field of genealogy that helped me out, and I’m trying to put together some kind of a well-organized document to sort of be able to show to family members and what have you, and just keep so Kelley’s [Earnhardt’s sister] kids, and if I have any one day, they won’t have to do the work.” He said that before, he never thought about his ancestors who

came before his grandfather, the legendary short-track and NASCAR racer Ralph Earnhardt. “Ralph’s father, I didn’t know who he was and never really cared who he was, never thought about who he was, or what his family would be like,” Earnhardt said. “Never thought past Ralph all these years, and I started getting into his father and Ralph’s grandfather and I found their

burial plots, and so me and my grandmother Martha and my sister and my mom Brenda and my girlfriend rode up there one day, just in Kannapolis or Concord, and visited their burial plots and a lot of relatives that were born in like 1809 and 1822 and stuff like that.” He said his cemetery trip was a moving experience. “It’s really cool to stand there over somebody that is responsible for you being there. That was pretty neat.” A check of the common genealogy sites on the Internet indicates that the Earnhardt family has been in North Carolina since before 1800. Census records indicate they were mostly farmers and cotton mill workers. They appear to have come to North Carolina from Pennsylvania and were originally from the old German region of Pfalz, where the name was spelled “Ehrenhardt.” “I had people tell me to work on my family tree before, but I didn’t think it was that big of a deal,” Earnhardt said. “Once I got into it and started realizing the importance of it, it’s been a lot of fun.”

As tracks repaved, drivers lament loss of old surfaces Sunday’s race at Kansas Speedway place … I don’t care if there are 20foot long patches of dirt in the middle was the final one on the existing of the race track, I’m happy.” asphalt surface. The track is being Denny Hamlin said driving skill is repaved because track officials have less of a factor on a repaved race track. determined that the rough Kansas “When you don’t pave race tracks, winters have damaged it to the point and there’s tire wear, the driver shows that there could be a major failure up a lot more than what it does when that could lead to a major delay in a you pave a race track [and] it becomes race, or worse. all about track position and how good Michigan International Speedway and Pocono Raceway also are to be, or your car is,” he said. “The driver is probably 65 percent of how you run have been, repaved this year, and [on a worn track]. On a brand new Phoenix International Raceway has paved race track, I would say our relatively new pavement. In the past, numbers are probably down to 30 newly repaved race tracks are [percent] … smoother and faster, but the racing “You see it at Rockingham, Atlanta for the first few years is a one-groove – tracks like this where tires wear affair with little passing, as the fastest way around is usually right on out. A driver can really, honestly the bottom groove. Drivers generally say that they’d rather see the track patched up because they prefer racing on a wornout surface. “I wouldn’t resurface tracks ever if it were up to me,” Carl Edwards said. “I’d patch up the holes and keep on running … “I know no one wants to sit through a delay while they fix a hole in the track. Those kind of things that have led to some of these repaves, I understand that we have to address those things, but I am a racer that likes to Denny Hamlin racing Sunday at Kansas race on a bumpy, rough, slick race Speedway, the last race before the track is track with the cars sliding all over the repaved.

make a difference. When you’re running nearly wide open every single corner on new paved race tracks, there’s not much us drivers can do.” Jeff Gordon said he believes the tracks, like Bristol Motor Speedway in particular, are taking some blame for boring racing that should be directed at the “Car of Tomorrow.” “This car for the last five or six years has sort of put Goodyear, the tracks, everything into a different box,” he said. “I’m looking forward to the 2013 car, but I look forward to cars down the road to sort of take some of the things in this car that are in there we can’t take out. “It will help the racing; things that are going to help Goodyear to make a better tire that is more suitable for the car. We still need to get some weight out of the cars in order to do that. I don’t know if that is going to happen for 2013, but I think we have a nice aero (aerodynamically) balanced car. They have incorporated a few things in there to help.” But he also said that repaving presents problems. “All these repaves are not going to help,” he said. “That is going to make some real challenges.” Sunday’s race at Kansas ran without a problem, but dozers were ripping up the asphalt moments after the checkered flag fell.

Those caps celebrating 200 Sprint Cup victories for Hendrick Motorsports are getting some miles on them. Team officials have been carrying them to race tracks since last October at Kansas Speedway when Jimmie Johnson scored the team’s 199th victory. Now, 14 races later, the four-driver Hendrick contingent is headed to Richmond International Raceway with the caps in tow. The current victory drought is the longest for Hendrick since the end of 2002 and the beginning of 2003, when it went 15 races without a win. That streak also began after a win at Kansas, one by Gordon. “I think if you look at Martinsville, it was so meant to be there,” Gordon said, referring to the fact that he was just seconds away from winning when a caution flag sent the race into extended laps and Gordon and Jimmie Johnson were wrecked. “And it just didn’t happen. We’re going to get it. It’s just very competitive right now.”

Buescher victor in truck race James Buescher, the surprise winner of the season-opening Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway, got his first victory in his regular series when he won the SFP 250 Camping World Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway. It came in his 76th career start and was the second straight win for his Turner Motorsports team, which won the week before at Rockingham Speedway with Kasey Kahne driving one of the team’s trucks. Buescher is now second in the truck standings, four points behind Timothy Peters, who finished second at Kansas.

Water on a daily basis if needed. The quickest way to tell if the container needs water is to push your index finger down to the first knuckle into the media. If it feels dry, go ahead and water the container.

Your local home improvement store has all the fittings and supplies needed to set up an inexpensive, timer-controlled irrigation system if you want to make the watering chore easier. Begin by always using a good quality, peat-based potting media that drains well. Never use soil, as the

drainage will suffer. Commercially bagged potting mixes are engineered for optimum water holding and drainage for plants growing in containers. Use a slow-release fertilizer at planting. Either 14-14-14 or 18-6-12 formulations are good choices to keep a steady supply of nutrients available

Coffee cup cooking

Wednesday, April 25, 2012

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

A coffee cup is the perfect vessel for a treat such as chilaquiles (clockwise from top), coffee cake, upside down cake, or quiche.

Ingredients by the drop, cooking times in seconds and an urge to experiment yield instant treats

W

hen I was a kid, my mother called me The Mad Scientist. It wasn’t that I was an ace in science, but more that I liked to mix stuff in tiny cups — and leave them scattered around the house. So when I stumbled on a recipe on the Prudent Baby blog (prudentbaby.com) for a coffeecake in a coffee cup, I was hooked. The ingredients were insanely tiny (1/2 an egg! drops of vanilla!) and the results could be tasted in minutes because the cooking was done in the microwave. The instant grati¿cation meant that weekday breakfasts could include a warm, adorable coffeecake for one grateful child. In short, it was kind of brilliant. Turns out the coffeecake post was Prudent Baby’s top post of 2011 (thanks to links to it by, among others, an online group for pot smokers who were psyched about a 5-minute cure for the munchies). Co-founder Jaime Morrison Curtis, who came up with the cinnamon-Àavored cake as an alternative to chocolate cake-in-a-cup recipes, recognized its appeal right away. “Tiny things are awesome,” she says. “I did have to mess around with it a bit ... but that’s the fun part of making recipes.” It was so much fun, it made me wonder what else I could cook in a coffee cup. Here’s what I discovered: Though the microwave is a blunt cooking instrument, it works well with small portions of anything that aims for a soufÀelike consistency. Think English steamed puddings, lava cakes, bread puddings, omelets _ and don’t overcook. Compensate for the lack of browning by using dark brown sugar, or covering the tops of your creations with garnishes such as crumb topping or cheese. Once you’ve ¿gured out basic proportions and cooking times (which will vary depending on your cup size and your microwave), start raiding your fridge for ingredients that suggest variations on your themes. Because the quantities are so small (though you can also double recipes and split them between two cups), you can experiment as much as you like without fretting over wasted ingredients. Once you start, you might discover that you’re a mad scientist too.

Recipe notes: Use a microwaveable cup, and consider placing it on a plate to catch possible overÀow. We found that a 12-ounce cup worked best for these recipes. You may need to adjust cooking times depending on the strength of your microwave oven. The cup and mixture will be very hot. Allow to cool a bit before eating. Each recipe makes 1 serving.

Coffee cup coffeecake For the crumb topping: 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons flour 1 tablespoon butter, softened Pinch cinnamon Pinch salt, optional

For the cake: 1 tablespoon butter, softened 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar 1⁄2 egg (1 egg lightly beaten and divided) 2 tablespoons sour cream 1 teaspoon maple syrup Vanilla (a few drops) 1⁄4 cup self-rising flour 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon apricot or other preserves For the crumb topping, mix the ingredients together in a small bowl with your ¿ngers. Pinch together until crumbs form. For the cake, mix butter and sugar together in a large measuring cup until creamy; add egg, sour cream, syrup and vanilla. Beat until blended well. Add Àour and cinnamon; beat until smooth. Pour half of batter into a buttered coffee cup, drop preserves into center, then top with remaining batter. Top with crumb topping, microwave about 1 minute 15 seconds.

sugar and butter; sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon. Pour batter into cup, swirl once. Microwave 1 minute.

Coffee cup quiche 1 egg 11⁄2 tablespoons milk Salt, pepper 1⁄4 of a bagel (or similar amount of French bread, etc.) 2 teaspoons cream cheese 1⁄2 slice prosciutto or ham Dijon mustard Fresh thyme leaves or fresh chopped chives Beat egg and milk together with a fork in a coffee cup, with salt and pepper to taste. Tear bread into dime-size pieces; stir in. Add cream cheese; stir in. Tear or cut prosciutto into small pieces; add to mixture. Sprinkle with thyme. Microwave 1 minute 10 seconds. Garnish with mustard and fresh thyme or chives.

Coffee cup upside-down cake Coffee cup chilaquiles 2 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar 1⁄2 apple, thinly sliced, slices cut in half 1⁄2 egg 2 tablespoons milk Vanilla (a few drops) 1⁄4 cup self-rising flour 2 pinches cinnamon

A coffee cup makes the perfect vessel for a single-serving treat like coffee cake. It takes only a few ingredients and quick cooking time.

Put 1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar and the apple slices in the bottom of a coffee cup; microwave, 1 minute. Soften remaining butter; mix in a measuring cup with remaining sugar until creamy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat with a fork to combine. Add Àour and cinnamon; beat until smooth. Swirl coffee cup to coat apples completely with melted

Daughter asks if photo album should cover all of Dad’s life DEAR ABBY: My father is turning 60 this year, and I want to make him a photo album with pictures from throughout his life. However, Dad is widowed and remarried, so I’m having a hard time deciding what to do with respect to my mother. They were married 25 years before she died, and they loved each other very much. They raised two children together, and she was an important part of his life. At the same time, I have a feeling that including pictures of Mom may upset my stepmother. While I am not close with her, I don’t want to intentionally hurt her feelings. What should I do? — LAURA IN ST. LOUIS DEAR LAURA:

You’re asking an intelligent question and I commend you for your sensitivity. If the photo album is intended to be a surprise for your father, consider talking to your stepmother about the idea. It will give you an indication of how such a gift would be perceived by her. DEAR ABBY: I’m 24 and love my parents. Mom confided to me that she has been seeing a high school flame behind my father’s back. She claims she loves this man and said she has slept with him, but she doesn’t want to leave the security my father provides for her. She swore me to secrecy about her affair. Meanwhile, my father has started talking to me about their marital prob-

lems. He doesn’t understand why M o t h er isn’t happy. I Abigail feel like Van Buren I should tell him, Dear Abby but that would betray my mother. At the same time, not telling him what I know is betraying him. What should I do? — CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE DEAR CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE: Your parents should not be confiding their marital difficulties to you. They should attempt to resolve them by communicating with each other — preferably with the help of a

licensed marriage counselor. That your mother would turn you into a coconspirator in her affair is despicable. Give her a deadline to level with your father or tell her that you will. He deserves to know the truth. DEAR ABBY: I have fallen in love with a very special woman. She happens to be my daughterin-law’s mother. We are very happy together, but our children are extremely upset about this. My son and her daughter no longer speak to us at this point. I feel it’s my life and I shouldn’t live it for the kids, nor would I want them to live their lives for me. Is it wrong for me to be with her, or are the kids overreacting? — IN

LOVE IN KENTUCKY DEAR IN LOVE: The “kids” are overreacting, and they shouldn’t be trying to blackmail the two of you into doing what they prefer. It IS your life, and just as you wish your son and daughter-in-law every happiness, they should be doing the same for you. This situation is not as unusual as they think, and they should not be judging or punishing you, because you are doing nothing wrong. DEAR ABBY: I married “Darrel” six months ago. It bothers me that he wears a silver bracelet from a relationship that ended five years ago. He claims that if I were to wear a piece of jewelry from my first marriage, it wouldn’t bother him as

it is “just jewelry.” How do you feel about this? — BOTHERED IN DAYTONA BEACH DEAR BOTHERED: What I feel about this is not important; it’s how you feel. If your husband’s wearing the bracelet is a constant, irritating reminder that he was involved with someone else, he should remove it because it isn’t “just jewelry” to you. And your feelings should be more important to him than the bracelet, don’t cha think? (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

gives you an advantage over your competition. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be near someone you admire, and you’ll take notes,

probably without realizing it. You’ll learn from this person’s mannerisms and approach to life, but mostly you’ll absorb the general essence of this person.

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Mercury and Pluto bring the differences between young and old to light. If you’re in the first group, it’s hard to envision the older generation as people who were once your age. But try. If you’re in the latter group, think of how you used to cringe at your parent’s suggestions. That should give you an ounce of compassion for the under-experienced. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Living large is a frame of mind, as well as a matter of economics. Adventures aren’t cheap, but you’ll continue on because you have a feeling that in the end, the experience will be worth the cost. TAURUS (April 20May 20). You are creative, and your whims will bring magic into your world. So dare to take a flight of fan-

cy. You’ll wind up in a fascinating place because you went off on this tangent. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Let people know how you really feel. Be specific. Expressing yourself in euphemistic terms won’t communicate what you need from others. Exactness gets your needs met. CANCER (June 22July 22). What you believe about life may be true, and it may not be true. Either way, those beliefs are essential to your daily actions, habits, behaviors and attitudes. Decide which beliefs are getting in your way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t always feel the need to take full credit for the marvelous outcomes you create. Sometimes you even give others more credit than they deserve in order to raise morale. This

will be one of those times. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re slightly concerned about getting your work done in a timely manner, and friendly distractions abound. Don’t let your worries get the best of you or make you edgy. All will unfold perfectly when you relax. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll have a vivid vision of what your life should be, taking into account your desires and inclinations. This may be the idealized version, but it’s certainly something to shoot for. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). You know enough to continue a project on your own, and yet you do what only the truly savvy would do: ask for more opinions and information. The more you learn the better your work

will be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t usually need a lot of outside motivation, but occasionally it makes all the difference. This is one of those occasions. You’ll do your best when you’re with someone who inspires you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even though your to-do list is approximately a zillion items long, you’re able to approach things with a jovial, funloving mood. It takes a high level of emotional intelligence to maintain this stellar attitude. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You like getting feedback because you know it helps you improve in ways you couldn’t have seen on your own. Being able to accept feedback and use it constructively
