No More Drama From Black Mamba In my lifetime, I cannot recall a player as great and more despised as Kobe Bryant, the selfproclaimed greatest Laker of all-time. Some will immediately point to Barry Bonds as

an example, but really, there's not as much to dislike about Bonds. Both were great players. Bonds, however, will forever be known as the guy who ruined the baseball record book; Kobe will never be remembered as having "ruined" the game -- at least on the court. Bonds is different in other ways. He had two careers, the one before the allegations of steroid use, and the one where his head size literally became too big for his helmet to handle. In both stages of his career, Bonds was always something special to watch. And yes, while Bonds was never a favorite in the clubhouse, and reporters took a quick dislike to him whenever he refused to be cordial, one can always argue that the steroid scandal that seemed to only grip baseball and forever tarnished his reputation was magnified by that surliness. I mean, Sammy Sosa was always a happy-go-lucky guy. Mark McGwire

wasn't ever going to be confused for a standup comic, but he seemed like a pretty-standup guy. Let me state this: I personally believe that Kobe was the best player of the post-Jordan era. I can't imagine anybody arguing that from a statistical standpoint. Twenty years playing for the same team, the second highest scoring game (81), five championship rings, most points in LA Lakers history, 18-time all-star and a league MVP award. A product of Philadelphia, he probably is that legendary city's best highschool player ever, and arguably the best player the city ever produced. Sorry, I'd still pick Wilt Chamberlain overall (but not at shooting guard). There are, unfortunately, other stories from this storied career, and let those also be a great lesson to every young athlete out there: The way you comport yourself off the court or field, in the locker room and in your hotel room Jacuzzi does most definitely help define you. Kobe scored the most points in Laker history, but he also missed the most shots in NBA history and gave up almost as many turnovers as he had assists. He was the guy who didn't want other players looking at him in the locker room,

the guy who lacked humility, who often sabotaged himself and the team due to his desire to be the sole center of attention. He wasn't the guy in the band; he was a solo act, the before and after party. Most Laker fans will argue that they would certainly take the 15 playoff appearances and five rings, the show he put on every night, including the final game of his career where he scored 60 points on 50 shots and took so much air out of the room that, literally, a bag of air from the game sold for $15,000 on eBay. For me, his career ended i n t hat Ja c u z z i i n Colorado. He said he liked being the villain on the court. Mission accomplished. The next time we hear from Kobe will be his (rightful) induction to the NBA's Hall of Fame. Time softens the heart and bad memories fade, but there will be more than a few fans who at that time also will reflect on one additional, perhaps larger and more important fact: That sort of drama has passed. You don't have to live like that anymore. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

LOCAL WOMAN IS BECOMING THE FIRST FEMALE IN THE CALVARY Kayci Landes wanted to serve on the front lines when she joined the Army five years ago. The Army wouldn’t let her. Back then, combat positions in the infantry and cavalry were not open to women. Now, the Apache helicopter mechanic has that option, and she’s taken advantage of it. The sergeant is on a path to become the Army’s first enlisted female cavalry scout. She committed to the new assignment Wednesday at a ceremony at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. “We’re all soldiers, so we all have to deal with what the ‘Big Army’ throws at us,” she said Wednesday before her re-enlistment ceremony at the base. “And I’m something the ‘Big Army’ is throwing at them. Whatever. I will earn your respect over time." Women had been barred from serving in combat roles until December 2015, when Defense Secretary Ash Carter lifted all restrictions on females in the armed forces. Landes is currently a noncommissioned officer in the 16th C o m b a t Av i a t i o n Brigade, and she served a tour of duty in Afghanistan. “I do like a challenge,” she said. “I enjoy spending time in the field. The fact that they spend a lot of time in the field doesn’t bother me. I do enjoy the dirty part of the Army, even though I haven’t had as much time doing that.” Landes and her husband, Army Spc. Brendan Stahl-Dugger, have four children ranging from 8 years old to 11 weeks old. She didn’t tell the kids about her new job until the night before her ceremony. “They ask a lot of questions,” Landes said. “I told them a little too early that we were coming to Washington,

so I had to deal with questions about Washington for like six months.” She’s not worried about the kids when she starts her cavalry scout training at Fort Benning, Georgia, in October — either family steps in when both parents are away from home for work. S t a h l - D u g g e r, a combat engineer, isn’t concerned about whether Landes can be a cavalry scout, she said — he just hopes she will like the new job. Cavalry scouts go out ahead of groups of tanks, conducting reconnais-
sance and finding ideal routes for tanks to take. It’s fitting work for someone who is blazing a new trail in the Army. “It is quite remarkable for people to want to do something when you’re breaking ground,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Jack Love of the 7th Infantry Division. “I think it’s really going to take off, but it takes these firsts to make it happen. I’m pumped up.” Kayci is from the Centralia area and attended Raccoon School. Her mother, Tammy Landes, still lives in this area.

State Representative John Cavaletto (R-Salem), w h o s e r v e s on t h e Transportation: Regulation, Roads & Bridges Committees, announced that the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has confirmed two projects to help improve local roads. The first project is a section of road along U.S. Highway 50 from Metcalf Road in Iuka to the Clay County Line. That project
was awarded to Howell Paving in Salem and is scheduled to be improved this construction season. The second project is along U.S. Highway 51 between Patoka and Sandoval, from south of Britt Road to just north of U.S. Route 50. This projected is included in the IDOT Multi-Year Program and anticipated to under const r uc t ion by t he summer of 2017.
“I am very pleased that my constant inquiries into the status of these projects has resulted in IDOT finally confirming the roads in these two areas are actually on the list to begin in the near future,” said Rep. Cavaletto. “Now we can focus on the next list of priorities for roads, bridges and railroad safety projects for our area,” he added.
SHIMKUS STATEMENT ON SHUTDOWN OF ILLINOIS POWER STATIONS C ongressman John Shimkus (R, Illinois-15), a senior Member of the Hous e Energ y and Commerce Committee, released the following statement in reaction to Houston, Texas-based Dynergy’s decision to shut down multiple central and southern Illinois coal-fired power plants: “The Democrats’ War on
Coal has threatened to devastate two more communities in Illinois with this announcement that power plants in Baldwin and Newton will be retired. The heartbreaking trend of power plant shutdowns and mine closures across the country is the not merely the result of market forces, but of a deliberate campaign by the environmental
left to keep America’s most abundant source of reliable electricity in the ground. “My thoughts will remain with the workers, families and communities who depend on coal and coal-fired power as I continue to fight to block and repeal the Democrats’ anticoal policies that are devastating rural America.”

SOCIAL SECURITY COMBATS HOMELESSNESS AND HELPS VETERANS ACCESS BENEFITS Carolyn W. Colvin, the Acting Commissioner of Social Security, and other leaders in the fight to end homelessness gathered today to continue the ongoing battle against homelessness among veterans, seniors, and other vulnerable populations. “Social Security plays a key role in reducing homelessness, and our benefit payments help people to secure and maintain stable h o u s i n g ,” A c t i n g Commissioner Colvin said. “Social Security is the most successful anti-poverty program in our country’s history and collaborates with other federal, state and local agencies to ensure that veterans, people who are disabled, have lost a loved one, or are retiring have access to our benefits and services.” Acting Commissioner Colvin joined with federal and state officials to discuss initiatives to end homelessness and outreach programs to vulnerable populations, including veterans, at a forum called “Ending Homelessness: Lessons Learned from the Commonwealth of Virginia.” Representatives from the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services

Administration (SAMHSA), the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, and the Virginia Housing Alliance participated in the discussion. In 2015, Virginia announced that it had ended homelessness among veterans. Many federal and state agencies are looking to replicate best practices from Virginia’s success in their respective states. Social Security has collaborated with other federal agencies to develop key strategies for connecting veterans and other individuals experiencing homelessness to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) benefits. Through partnerships across the country with the SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access and Recovery (SOAR) initiative, the agency receives more complete disability applications. They have a higher rate of approval on the initial application because someone is helping the applicant, especially homeless people who have difficulty documenting their cases and getting their medical records. SOAR is a national project, funded by the SAMHSA, designed to increase access to SSI and SSDI for eligible adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and have
a mental illness, medical impairment, and/or a cooccurring substance use disorder. The SOAR project provides training on how to complete the SSI/SSDI application to service providers working with individuals experiencing homelessness. Veterans are at an increased risk of both homelessness and disability. Social Security offers several initiatives to accelerate processing disability benefit claims from veterans. Since 2005, the agency has provided expedited processing of disability applications for wounded warriors who have suffered an injury or illness while serving on active duty after October 1, 2001. Beginning in 2014, disability applications for those with a Veterans Affairs (VA) disability compensation rating of 100% receive expedited processing for Social Security disability benefits. Social Security worked with the VA to set up a data exchange to identify these veterans when they first apply for Social Security or SSI benefits. The agency is proud to support President Obama’s efforts to take care of veterans who have sacrificed so much. For more information about wounded warriors and veterans who have a
compensation rating of 100%, please visit www. socialsecurity.gov/veterans. For additional information about the SOAR project and initiatives to help people experiencing homelessness, visit www. socialsecurity.gov/homelessness.

Although Ted Cruz fought hard to take Indiana, he lost, and that was fatal for him. At the close of the polls, with 57 delegates at stake, it was called for Donald Trump by a landslide, which lead to the announcement that Cruz was suspending his bid for President. It wasn't quite that simple for the Democratic Party with 92 delegates up for grabs. At the close of the Indiana Primary it was too close to call, with numbers of 50% Clinton and 50% Sanders. But as the evening wore on, Bernie Sanders added to his wins by 4,000 votes over Clinton and took Indiana. It was a nail biter. I have to admit I was pulling for Bernie. Again, as I've said before — not that I would vote for him — we don't need a Socialist in the oval office. But the last thing we need is Hillary Clinton as Commander-in-Chief. In my opinion, she is corrupt, dishonest, self serving and wouldn't know the truth if it looked her square in the face. And that's just a start! It's beyond my comprehension how anyone could vote for her, but to each his or her own. Hours after Cruz's announcement John Kasich threw in the towel as well, leaving Donald J. Trump the last man standing and the eventual Republican nominee. Let's face it, last week was a heavy news week, starting with the Indiana Primary. Then came Ted Cruz's suspension of his campaign, and right after that Kasich ended his bid for the Republican nomination. Kasich spoke to reporters in Columbus, Ohio. He didn't give any reasons, however, the fact remains he only took his home state of Ohio. He did say that his
message never seemed to resonate and continued to say, “The spirit, the essence of America lives in the hearts and souls of us. Some missed that message.” Maybe he didn't drive the message home enough! I personally liked John Kasich and felt he was the most Presidential out of all the 17 Republican Presidential hopefuls. But he just never seemed to gain traction with the GOP voters, even though his track record is impressive. He's a two-term governor of Ohio and has spent 18 years in Congress. After Kasich's press conference announcing he was ending his bid to be the GOP Presidential nominee, Donald Trump told a CNN reporter, “I think John's doing the right thing. I think John will be very helpful with Ohio, even as Governor.” He continued to say he'd had a good relationship with John Kasich. The shocker for me was when Trump said he was willing to consider Kasich as a running mate by saying, “I would be interested in vetting John.” What I find interesting is my dear friend Richard Freeman of Salem has been saying for a while that John Kasich could be Donald Trump's running mate. Hmm! Richard, I guess there is a chance now.
House Speaker Paul Ryan showing his disapproval. I've lost a lot of respect of Ryan. Oh well, at this point the Republican Party has two choices: 1) Donald Trump or 2) Hillary Clinton. And for me, I'll take Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton a thousand times over. So again I say the 2016 election is the Republicans Party's to lose. I would hope they would have learned from their mistakes in 2012.
And finally, sadly, another hero lost his life in a firefight in Iraq last week. Navy Seal Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Charles Keating was shot and killed when he and other special operation forces went to the rescue of U.S. forces that got caught in a gun battle involving more than 100 Islamic state fighters. He gave his life rescuing others! Keating, 31, is the third U.S. Service member to be killed in combat in Iraq since U.S forces returned there in 2014. During a morning briefing, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest made no mention of Keating's death until pressed, and then he only offered lip service. This administration doesn't know the first thing about honoring our American heroes. On to Capitol Hill.

Some Dog Owners Need Training, Too DEAR P AW ’ S CORNER: When I’m out at the dog park, I see so many people who are ignored by their dogs. No matter how much they scream or shout, their pets just do whatever they
want. I’ve tried to tell them that yelling only goes so far, but they don’t listen. What else can I do?? — Clarisse G., Cartersville, Georgia DEAR CLARISSE: One of the hardest subjects to broach with other owners is how to handle their pets. Particularly with dogs, owners have relationships akin to their own child, and the results of well-intentioned advice tend to be ineffectual. Owners may even snap back at you. However, a badly behaved dog in a public area can have a lot of re-
percussions. An unruly dog may be attacked by another dog, or a human may be injured by a dog bite — events like that just add fuel to arguments against dog parks or dogs in public areas. To get a dog to behave on command, two key factors can make a difference in training: A calm, confident voice when giving commands, and consequences. If a dog won’t follow a command, corrective action must be given as soon as possible — putting it back on the leash, leaving the dog
park, whatever. Not surprisingly, dog owners who aren’t controlling their dogs respond to the same factors. If a dog is disrupting the other pets’ enjoyment of the park, tell its owner — with confidence! — that their dog has to act within the park’s rules, or leave. If they don’t respond, then bring the consequences: report the owner and dog to the city, or to the group — if the dog park has an organized group of other owners. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Dole Premium Bananas Judy Bolton Mysteries Q: I realize that you have written in the past about Nancy Drew books. When I was a young girl, I became addicted to the Judy Bolton series and have the first five published during the early 1930s, namely "The Vanishing Shadow," "The Haunted Attic," "The Invisible Chimes," "Seven Strange Clues" and "The Ghost Parade." All are in excellent condition, and all except "Ghost Parade" have their original covers. — Carole, Spring field, Missouri A: One of the better reference books for series such as Nancy Drew, Cherry Ames, Penny Parker and Judy Bolton is "All About Collecting Girls' Series Books" by John Axe and published by Hobby House Books. According to Axe, the first Judy Bolton title was issued in 1932. The next nine titles followed between 1932 and 1937.
The series, written by Margaret Sutton, eventually ended in 1967 after some 38 titles, a record for a juvenile mystery-series author. Values can vary, but the first editions from the early 1930s seem to sell in the $5-$75 range. *** Q: I am sending you a picture of an antique necklace that I have inherited. I need you to tell me its history and how much it is worth. — Beverly, Albuquerque, New Mexico A: As I often say in this column, I do not appraise items. There is a reason for this. I am not an appraiser, and I don't make guesstimates. If I tell you your necklace is worth $200 and you later find out it is worth several times that amount, you would not be happy with me. If you suspect your necklace is valuable, find out for certain by hiring a professional appraiser in your area. It will be worth the investment. ***
Q: I have inherited about a dozen pieces of majolica pottery. Most are from the Victorian-era. Can you recommend a good reference so I can determine current values? — Carol, El Paso, Texas A: One of the better references is "Warman's Majolica: Identification and Price Guide" by Mark F. Moran and published by Krause Books. When using a price guide, keep in mind that prices listed are not chiseled in stone. Prices can vary from region to region, and the market is always in flux. *** Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com.

s gs Don’t Sweep Your Bu Under The Rug... ! Le L t Us Fix The Problem
Cooking With Lizzie
Chicken Casseroles To my way of thinking, a simple reduction of the roasting pan juices from chicken surpasses any chef 's complex sauce. Add some wild rice, garden fresh vegetables, a bottle of wine and you have dinner! Simple! This week and for a few weeks to come I will be sharing some of my favorite chicken dishes, starting with casseroles, which are perfect for make ahead dishes for parties or for come and go family dinners.
Chicken Tamale Pie
4 cups (1 qt.) chopped fresh ripe tomatoes, or 1 can (28 oz.) Italian-style plum tomatoes, with their juices 1 can (16 oz.) cream-style corn 3 to 4 tsp. salt 1 medium-sized onion, chopped 1/2 cup olive oil Olive oil for drizzling
1½ T. chili powder, or to taste 1 cup milk 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal 3 eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup pitted ripe olives 2 cups coarsely chopped cooked chicken 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, mixed with 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Combine tomatoes, corn, salt, onion, olive oil, and chili powder in large saucepan and cook over medium heat 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350° F. In mixing bowl, stir together milk, cornmeal, and eggs; add to tomato mixture and cook, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, until thick, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in olives and chicken. Pour mixture into lightly greased shallow ovenproof dish. Top with cheeses, drizzle with oil, and bake until pie is firm and cheese is crusty, 35 to 45 minutes. Serve piping hot. Serves 6.
Chicken And Pasta Casserole

The Remedy for Stress A friend recently remarked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live in a crazy world and things are getting crazier every day.â&#x20AC;? Today I heard a lady say to her co-worker, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so stressed that my hands a r e s h a k i n g .â&#x20AC;? In America millions of dollars are spent on prescription medication to help cope with stress. Daniel prophesied that in the endtimes a king indwelt by Satan shall arise to world power, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And he shall speak great words against the Most High and shall wear out the saints of the Most High. (Daniel 7:25) Satanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Modis Operandi is to try to wear out Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people. But Daniel prophesied of the ultimate victory of the saints of the Most High. (Daniel 7:27) If you have been bombarded by fear, stress, and the storms of life, there is a sure fire remedy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; trust in God. David reveals the remedy in Psalm 37:3-6 and Solomon reminds us in Proverbs 3:5-6. Apply these remedies for stress.

TRUST IN THE LORD AND DO GOOD. (Psalm 37:3-6) The Hebrew word for trust here is â&#x20AC;&#x153;batachâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;to hide for refuge, to be confident or sure; made to hope.â&#x20AC;? Worry negates trust. (Psalm 37:3) Step out in faith and begin to do good for someone. Take the focus off of self. Trust thrives in this atmosphere, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.â&#x20AC;? (Psalm 37:4) When you come to have absolute belief in the goodness of God you develop a rock solid faith. David reveals another secret to trust, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Commit your way unto the Lord; trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.â&#x20AC;? (Psalm 37:6) Let go and give your problems to God. Roll that heavy load you have been carrying onto the Lord. Trusting God brings

you into the land of His promises; there will be plenty of provision; realization of the desires of your heart; and Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intervention, righteousness, and justice. (Psalm 37:3-6) TRUST IN THE LORD AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Trust must lean whole-heartily on the Lord. How many times do we try to figure things out on our own instead of trusting God? We are admonished not to lean on our own understanding. Instead of asking God, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why?â&#x20AC;? Tell Him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand but I trust you.â&#x20AC;? Corrie ten Boom said that if you are on a train and it goes through a dark tunnel, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jump off. You trust there will be light at the end of the tunnel.â&#x20AC;? TRUST GOD! Solomon tells us how to activate our trust in the Lord, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.â&#x20AC;? (Proverbs 3:6) Acknowledge He has a plan and purpose and ask Him to guide you. Acknowledge He has everything
under control and is Lord. If you trust Him, God promises to lead you on a straight path. Israel wandered in the wilderness for 40 years because they did not trust in God. On Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; command, the disciples rowed across the Sea of Galilee, into a storm. But at the darkest moment Jesus came to them walking on the water. On the word of the Lord, Peter stepped out of the boat and walked to Jesus on the water. That is until he took his eyes off of Jesus and put them on the wind and waves. Jesus saved him and walked with Peter back to the boat. Jesus rebuked Peter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;O you of little faith, wherefore didst you doubt?â&#x20AC;? (Matthew 14:31) When Jesus stepped into the b o at , â&#x20AC;&#x153; T he w i nd ceased.â&#x20AC;? I saw a post on Facebook with the caption, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My lifeguard walks on water!â&#x20AC;? Take the remedy for stress and the storms of life. Trust in God with all your heart. Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area
by Samantha Weaver • It was 20th-century American politician and diplomat Adlai Stevenson who made the following sage observation: "The hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning." • According to a 2015 survey, more American adults would rather admit their weight than disclose their salary. • You might be sur-
prised to learn that actor James Doohan, best known for his role as Scotty in the original "Star Trek" series, served in the Royal Canadian Artillery during World War II. He saw combat for the first time at the invasion of Normandy on D-Day, where he led his men through a field of anti-tank mines to reach higher ground. After defensive positions had been established that
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re the first sign in the Zodiac and like to take the lead wherever you go. But this time, you’d be wise to follow someone who has much to teach you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your adversary hasn’t given up trying to undermine you. Continue to stay cool -- someone in authority knows what’s happening. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Spring brings a positive aspect for relationships. Paired Twins grow closer, while the single set finds new romance -- perhaps with a Leo or Libra. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Wavering aspects this week mean weighing your words carefully to avoid misunderstandings. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You could soon be on a new career path in pursuit of those longstanding goals, but don’t cut any current ties until you’re sure you’re ready to make the change. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A former colleague wants to re-establish an old professional connection. It would be wise to make the contact, at least until you know what he or she is planning. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A relationship that survived some rocky moments could be facing a new challenge. Deal with the problem openly, honestly and
night, he was crossing between command posts when he was shot six times — by a Canadian sentry. One of the bullets hit his chest, but it was stopped by a silver cigarette case that his brother had given him. • Researchers in the United Kingdom have developed what they're calling the "SlugBog" — a robot that eats slugs and is powered by the bio-gas created by their decay. • If you've ever had to explain yourself the morning after a raucous night out, you might be glad to know that the Tsonga people of southern Africa have a word that can be useful in
without delay. Good luck. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A recent and much-appreciated change in the workplace inspires you to make some changes in your personal life as well. Start with a plan to travel more. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A friend needs your kind and caring advice, but you need to know what he or she is hiding from you before you agree to get involved. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your circle of friends continues to widen. Expect to hear from someone in your past who hopes to re-establish your onceclose relationship. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your aspects favor the arts. Indulge in whatever artistic expression you enjoy most. A workplace situation will, I’m pleased to say, continue to improve. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Warning! Your tendency to let things slide until the last minute could have a negative effect on a relationship that you hope can develop into something meaningful. BORN THIS WEEK: You are both emotional and sensible. You enjoy being with people. Good career choices include teaching, performing and the clergy. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
certain of these circumstances. "Rhwe" means to sleep on the floor without a mat, while drunk and naked. • The University of Gottingen, in Germany, is in possession of a rare Bible -- it's printed on 2,470 palm leaves.. *** Thought for the Day: "A fellow of mediocre talent will remain a mediocrity, whether he travels or not; but one of superior talent (which without impiety I cannot deny that I possess) will go to seed if he always remains in the same place." — Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
