Beds for state inmates are beginning to fill up again at the Alcorn County Regional Correctional Facility. Sheriff Ben Caldwell said about 50 inmates arrived on Tuesday, and another 50 are scheduled to arrive today. The facility is expected to be back to 240 early next week, the minimum number allowed by the contract with the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Some of the inmates brought to Alcorn County on Tuesday came from Parchman, and some came from Marshall County. “We are glad all of the issues have been resolved and are excited to move forward,” said Caldwell. “I have full faith in the correctional officers we have in place. For the last couple of months, they have gone through extensive training. We

ed robbery where these two young men panicked and shot and killed an innocent person,” said Dance. The long-time Corinth gas station, which is corporately owned, remained closed on Tuesday. (Tips can be reported by contacting 662-286-3377.)

NAACP seeks removal of flag in 2 coast counties Associated Press

GULFPORT — The NAACP is asking two more Mississippi counties to stop flying the state flag because it contains the Confederate battle emblem, but the request is meeting resistance from the Sons of Confederate Veterans and some local residents who say it represents history. Local NAACP leaders on Monday asked boards of supervisors in coastal Harrison and Jackson counties to furl the flag, but neither board took immediate action. Jackson County NAACP chairman Curley Clark told supervisors they have

“the opportunity to be on the right side of history,” The Mississippi Press reported. “The history of this state is that it is a racist state and it has been symbolized by the leadership wanting to hold on to the Civil War and what the Confederacy represented,” Clark said. “That flag perpetuates slavery and white supremacy and it is very insulting, demeaning, and something we want to try to put in our past. “We want to feel equal,” he said. “However, it is very hard to do that with symbols in our face that infer we are inferior and

that we do not belong.” A Vancleave resident, Frank Wiysel, told Jackson County supervisors he supports the Mississippi flag. “African-Americans should be thankful for the Confederate flag not ashamed of it because it allowed you to be where you are today,” Wiysel said. “We bought y’all over here as slaves and you should be thankful because of where y’all are today.” Several Mississippi cities and counties, and some public universities, have stopped flying the state flag in recent months.

of action before returning inmates to the facility. The facility has seen much work, including painting, since inmates were last in the regional prison on Oct. 29, when a

multi-agency shakedown left things in a mess. Monetary reimbursement from the Mississippi Department of Corrections for the housing of 240 prisoners is also expected to arrive this week for the months of October, November and December, even though it was vacant for a couple of those months. MDOC had indicated after the shakedown that it would not make additional payments. MDOC is reviewing its contract with Alcorn County, but proposed changes have not been presented. Although the regional prison housed 300 inmates in the past, it is expected to remain at 240 now.

Today in History

Across the Region

Today is Wednesday, Feb. 3, the 34th day of 2016. There are 332 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 3, 1959, rockand-roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson died in a small plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa.

On this date: In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln and Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens held a shipboard peace conference off the Virginia coast; the talks deadlocked over the issue of Southern autonomy. In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, providing for a federal income tax, was ratified. In 1930, the chief justice of the United States, William Howard Taft, resigned for health reasons. (He died just over a month later.) In 1943, during World War II, the U.S. transport ship Dorchester, which was carrying troops to Greenland, sank after being hit by a German torpedo; of the more than 900 men aboard, only some 230 survived. In 1966, the Soviet probe Luna 9 became the first manmade object to make a soft landing on the moon. In 1971, New York City police officer Frank Serpico, who had charged there was widespread corruption in the NYPD, was shot and seriously wounded during a drug bust in Brooklyn. In 1998, Texas executed Karla Faye Tucker, 38, for the pickax killings of two people in 1983; she was the first woman executed in the United States since 1984.

Prentiss Democrats sell Simmons to host his set meeting Monday groundbreaking comedy BOONEVILLE — The Prentiss County Democratic Party will hold their regular meeting Monday, Feb. 8 at the Prentiss County AgriCenter. The upcoming primaries will be discussed. The public is invited.

Recipients sought for TCT scholarship TUPELO — Tupelo Community Theatre offers four $500 scholarships each year to students attending Mississippi high schools and universities. Students must complete at least 12 hours each semester (or its equivalent if on the quarter system) and maintain at least a 2.5 GPA. Details about each scholarship and the application form may be obtained at www.tct.ms. Applications must be received no later than April 15th. Recipients will be notified by June 1st.

Comedian’s tour set to stop in Memphis MEMPHIS — Comedian, actor, director and producer Martin Lawrence continues his “Doin’ Time: Uncut Live” tour—Lawrence’s first stand-up tour in four years—bringing the show to legendary venues across the country, including a marquee engagement at Barclays Center—his first NYC show in fifteen years. Lawrence has made a triumphant return to the stand-up stage wowing audiences with his signature style of hilarious stories, social commentary and more. Martin Lawrence started in stand-up comedy at the legendary The Improv, where he honed his talents until he was asked by Rus-

series Def Comedy Jam on HBO. From there, Lawrence became a household name after his hugely popular selftitled TV show, Martin, was an instant hit with TV viewers. He starred for five years as not only the title character, but other support characters like the sassy Sheneneh and Mama Payne, who became comedy classics. Lawrence would later go on to star in comedy blockbusters like Bad Boys 1&2 A Thin Line Between Love and Hate, which he also directed and Big Momma’s House, 1, 2 & 3 where he once again proved his talent for creating and acting as multiple characters in one storyline.

Grand jury indicts 8th grade teacher COLUMBUS — A middle school teacher has been indicted by a federal grand jury. U. S. Marshals arrested Paul Jackson, the 8th grade lead teacher at Columbus Middle School, this morning. A spokesperson with the U. S. Attorney’s Office would not say why Jackson was arrested but says he is expected in court this afternoon in Aberdeen. The spokesperson said U. S. Marshals are serving federal indictments to several people across the state. Jackson is currently being held in the Monroe County jail pending the hearing this afternoon. Columbus Municipal School Superintendent Phillip Hickman said Jackson has been placed on administrative leave with pay while the district gathers more information on his arrest.

New recruits being trained at academy HATTIESBURG — The Hattiesburg Police Department is working on giving its roster a boost with its latest round of recruits currently training at the Hattiesburg police academy. Media outlets report that 12 recruits began training Monday at the Hattiesburg Police and Fire Training Academy. The department currently has 95 officers and is hoping to add a few more. Department spokesman Lt. Jon Traxler says the course is comprehensive and rigorous to ensure the recruits are fully trained to handle the job. Some recruits may not be able to complete the course. Traxler says the department currently has room for 126 officers. If the department reaches that number, Traxler says, the City Council will give it additional funds to go up to 140.

Sports legend may get naming honor LOWNDES COUNTY — A long stretch of a major regional highway may be named for a Mississippi sports legend. Lowndes County Supervisors Monday asked the legislature and State Transportation Department to name the 18 miles of Highway 45 Alternate through Lowndes County in honor of Tom Goode.

Corinth, Miss.

Grow up! Of all the many things said about Donald Trump, what was said by Roger Ailes, head of the Fox News Channel, said it all in just two words: “Grow up!” It is amazing how many Thomas people have been oblivious Sowell to this middle-aged man’s spoiled brat behavior, his Columnist childish boastfulness about things he says he is going to do, and his petulant response to every criticism with ad hominem replies. He has boasted that his followers would stick by him even if he committed murder. But is that something to boast about? Is it not an insult to his followers? Moreover, his cockiness is misplaced, because he still does not have a majority among Republican voters, while you need a majority of all the voters to win any state in the general election. Trump has a showman’s talent for telling people what they want to hear. But you can listen in vain for a coherent argument from him, based on facts and logic, much less an understanding of the inherent limitations of the office of president. More than two centuries ago, Edmund Burke said: “Constitute government how you please, infinitely the greater part of it must depend upon the exercise of the powers which are left at large to the prudence and uprightness of ministers of state.” In other words, the personal character of the people to whom you entrust the powers of government matters even more than what kinds of government institutions there are. There have been some good kings and some bad presidents, as well as vice versa. In a world where the future of this country is threatened from within by increasingly angry polarization, and where external threats can become nuclear, are we really going to entrust the safety or this country to a man who still needs to grow up? Is the fact that he loudly expressed our own disgust with the political establishment a sufficient reason to gamble the future of the country by putting him in the White House? The White House is not a place for on-thejob training. You are supposed to be ready, or at the very least grown up, before you walk in the door. Aging happens automatically, but maturity is optional -- and it is an option that Donald Trump has not yet chosen to exercise. The issue that Trump raised about Ted Cruz’s having been born in Canada is not the first time he has tried to challenge where someone was born. “The Donald” was among those who tried to say that Barack Obama was not born an American citizen, and who disgraced themselves, while undermining other critics of Obama who had serious objections to his policies. On the other hand, messianic demagogues have often spoken part truth. But they have also often led their followers to their doom, whether at Jonestown, Stalingrad or innumerable other places. That is a very high price to pay for an exhilaration of the moment. Donald Trump is not the only one who needs to act like an adult. With this country starting to unravel from within, while ruthless enemies overseas are developing both nuclear weapons and intercontinental missiles to deliver them, we face problems that cannot be solved by candidates with glib words or by voters who vote for whoever meets their emotional needs. If you don’t understand the issues, but want to do your patriotic duty, then stay home on election night, whether in the primaries or in the national election in November. Uninformed voters turn elections into a game of playing Russian roulette with America’s future. Conservative candidates will also have an opportunity to show their maturity and their patriotism. At some point during the primary season, it becomes clear that some candidates have no real chance of winning the nomination, much less the general election. At that point they can either continue hanging on, keeping the vote split, or they can withdraw and throw their support to some other conservative candidate who has a chance. A lot of people need to grow up, and to do something for this country that has done so much for them.

Prayer for today Almighty God, I pray for the will to do my finest work. Disclose to me if I am being detained by serving selfishness in myself or in others. Lead me to what is right for me to do; and may I diligently tarry in it. Amen.

Reed would have made a great governor Saddened to learn of the passing of iconic Tupelo businessman Jack Reed Sr. this week, my thoughts returned to 1987 and the campaign which saw the Mississippi Republican Party lay the groundwork for the current dominance the party has in state politics. Reed, whose personal political interests were far more ensconced in improving public education, economic development, and transportation than in Republican party-building, was without question part of the bringing GOP success to the last bastion of white Yellow Dog Democrat support in our state – northeast Mississippi. Over our history, Mississippi voters have had some interesting choices in gubernatorial politics but perhaps never more so than in the 1987 general election. In that contest, the voters chose Harvard-educated Democrat state auditor Ray Mabus – then 39 – over Republican businessman and civic leader Reed, then 63. Mabus won 53 percent of the statewide vote to 47 percent for Reed. But Reed outpolled Mabus among white voters by about 3 to 2 – according to The New York Times – while Mabus benefitted

from what then-Mississippi Democratic Party chairman Steve Patterson called Sid Salter after the election “the Columnist classic redneck-black neck coalition.” But other than the 1999 plurality election of Democrat Ronnie Musgrove – which had to be decided by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives – the Mabus win over Reed marked the last time that the coalition Patterson described had enough strength to propel a Democrat to victory in a Mississippi governor’s race. Clearly, Reed is a man who by every meaningful measure would have made a great governor. His temperament, his feel for dealing with controversy in a non-combative manner and his absolute refusal to engage in race-baiting would have made him so – that and his keen, undeniable intellect. Reed had the patrician manners, look, and dress of a man whose family had been in the department store business since 1905. But he possessed a curious

ability to put people at ease and to cross Mississippi’s socio-economic boundaries with ease and grace. Covering his 1987 campaign against Mabus and moderating a statewide televised debate between the two, I marveled at Reed’s ability to forcefully disagree with Mabus on policy issues without becoming disagreeable. Through the prism of history, what is also remarkable from that 1987 race is how close Mabus and Reed were on issues like support for public education. They struggled to delineate differences on that core issue of Mississippi’s long term economic success running a route past the schoolhouse door. But on taxes and strategies to pay teachers better, the pair had very legitimate differences. The fact is that without Reed’s GOP candidacy in 1987, the later successes of Republican Mississippi governors Kirk Fordice, Haley Barbour and Phil Bryant might well have been more difficult to achieve and certainly might have taken longer. After that 1987 loss, Reed returned to Tupelo and went about his business, literally. He continued a

lifetime of working for tolerance and racial reconciliation. He continued to be an advocate for public education. He continue to work to make Tupelo and north Mississippi better and stronger. I suspect nothing pleased Jack Reed more than the establishment of the Winter-Reed Award by the Mississippi Association of Partners in Education in 2007. The award honored Reed and former Democratic Gov. William Winter for lifetime service in the cause of Mississippi public education and encourages recipients to continue their work. Jack Reed understood that bipartisan public policy is perhaps hardest to achieve but in the long run the most effective and rewarding. His friendship and common bond with William Winter in those noble pursuits reiterated that knowledge. Reed’s life is a monument to the fact that people can and should work together for the common good – and that such work pays lasting and important dividends.

Bryant says he’d sign corporate franchise tax cut JACKSON — More than a few observers walked away from Gov. Phil Bryant’s State of the State speech believing they’d heard the second-term Republican oppose plans for this year’s Legislature to cut the $242-million-a-year corporate franchise tax. The governor, though, says that’s not true — it’s more a matter of emphasis. Here are the key words late in the 27-minute speech, as Bryant was restating his desire for any increase in gasoline taxes to fund road and bridge improvements to be offset by at least the same amount in tax cuts: “There is no reason we cannot balance an increase in fuel tax with an equal and sufficient tax reduction. This tax cut does not need to apply to large corporations. They are and have been receiving the reduction in fuel cost for some time now. It is the working families of Mississippi I am concerned about.” In 2014, Bryant proposed cutting income taxes for some Mississippi house-

holds earning less than $53,000 a year. That tax break would only apply in Jeff Amy years when state revColumnist enue grew and the state’s main savings account was full. His recent remarks have been in the same spirit, calling for tax cuts to prioritize a “blue collar dividend” for individual taxpayers. Lawmakers have granted more than $350 million in tax relief since 2011, with almost all of that going to businesses. Many firms, though, still want the Legislature to do away with the 2.5 percent franchise tax on business property or capital employed in Mississippi. Industries like banks and manufacturers dislike franchise taxes because they apply whether a business is profitable or losing money. A number of states have repealed or scheduled phaseouts of franchise taxes, leaving Mississippi among a

minority that impose them. Despite what he said in the speech, Bryant has voiced support for eliminating the franchise tax in the past, and spokesman Clay Chandler said he would sign a bill cutting it. “The governor favors tax relief for the hard-working people of this state but is not opposed to a scheduled franchise tax reduction,” Chandler said. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said he sees no conflict with Bryant’s goals. In addition to cutting franchise taxes, Reeves last year proposed eliminating the 3 percent and 4 percent personal income tax brackets, which would have phased in income tax cuts of up to $350 a year for individuals making at least $18,300 a year. “My view is, it doesn’t have to be an either-or scenario. It could be both-and,” Reeves said Wednesday. Reeves has said lawmakers should lock in longterm tax cuts this year, even though Mississippi has a shortfall that will make it harder for lawmakers to write a spending plan

That could mean no immediate tax cuts, though, a possibility Bryant alluded to in the State of the State. “It may not be this year, but when we are having surpluses and a full savings account, let’s pledge to give the people back a portion of their hard-earned tax dollars,” Bryant said. There’s still a chance, though, that any fix for roads and bridges could get snagged by the inability of the GOP-dominated Legislature to agree on a tax cut. Central District Transportation Commissioner Dick Hall, himself a Republican, noted after the State of the State that swapping fuel taxes for other tax cuts isn’t an even trade, because the fuel taxes would be dedicated to transportation, while other taxes pay for the rest of government. He defers to lawmakers, though. “All of it is obviously a legislative decision,” Hall said. (Daily Corinthian columnist Jeff Amy is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)

â€œWe send you off to strange places like Atlanta and Dallas. You will think, â€˜I need to be there to achieve my dreams.â€™ Mississippi needs you here.â€?

Associated Press

JACKSON â€” Gov. Phil Bryant is imploring highachieving college students to remain in Mississippi after graduation and build their careers in the state. â€œStay here. Grow where youâ€™re planted,â€?

Changes have been made to reach those unchurched. The church isnâ€™t letting space limitations get in the way of seeing more people come to know Jesus. â€œWe arenâ€™t doing this for people already here,â€? said the church pastor. â€œWe are doing it for those who arenâ€™t here â€Ś itâ€™s not about us being more comfortable, itâ€™s about outreach and seeing people saved.â€?

Punxsutawney Phil calls for early spring PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. — The handlers of Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, said the furry rodent failed to see his shadow at dawn Tuesday, meaning he “predicted” an early spring. “Is this current warm weather more than a trend? Perchance this winter has come to an end? There is no shadow to be cast, an early Spring is my forecast!,” read Jeff Lundy, vice president of the Inner Circle of The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club. Lundy is a member of the group sporting top hats that announces the forecast every year. A German legend has it that if a furry rodent sees his shadow on Feb. 2 winter will last another six weeks. If not, spring comes early. The forecast was delivered with temperatures in the low 20s, on a clear day when the temperature was expected to reach the unseasonably mild mid40s.

Small quake shakes up easternmost city EASTPORT, Maine — A small earthquake served as a wakeup call Tuesday for sleeping residents in Eastport, Maine, the easternmost city in the U.S. The magnitude 3.3 earthquake, among the smallest generally felt by people, was recorded just before 7 a.m. in the

waters between Maine and Canada, and about 6 miles northeast of the city, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Some residents in the city of about 1,300 people reported waking to booming and rumbling sounds, but officials say there were no damage reports.

Fight over hostage broke up fugitives SANTA ANA, Calif. — Three inmates who pulled off an intricate escape from a California jail stuck together and eluded authorities for nearly a week until their alliance unraveled over a dispute about whether to kill a cab driver they had taken hostage, authorities said. Six days after their breakout — and 400 miles to the north — fugitives Hossein Nayeri and Bac Duong came to blows in a San Jose motel room because Nayeri wanted to kill the man and bury his body and Duong did not, authorities said Monday. Duong prevailed and the next day took the hostage to Orange County, where he turned himself in. The cab driver, who suffered minor injuries, immediately went to authorities. Nayeri and fugitive Jonathan Tieu, 20, were arrested Saturday in San Francisco after an alert citizen spotted their stolen van near a Whole Foods Market parking lot. The trio’s rapid undoing after days on the lam was a dramatic end to an escape plan that

authorities believe was first hatched six months earlier by Nayeri, who is awaiting trial on charges of torture and kidnapping. Authorities say he cut off the penis of a man he believed had buried a large cache of money in the desert.

Whiskey producers toast strong sales FRANKFORT, Ky. — Producers of Kentucky bourbon and Tennessee whiskey are toasting another year of strong sales and revenue growth, led by consumers increasingly ordering high-priced, superpremium brands. Combined U.S. revenues for bourbon, Tennessee whiskey and rye whiskey shot up 7.8 percent to $2.9 billion in 2015, up $210 million from the prior year, the Distilled Spirits Council said Tuesday. Domestic volume rose 5.2 percent last year to 20.4 million cases, the distilled spirits trade group said. “We’re living the dream,” Chris Morris, master distiller at Brown-Forman Corp., producer of Woodford Reserve and Old Forester bourbons, said in an interview. “We’re hitting our numbers as we had predicted.” Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey revenues and volumes outpaced the overall distilled spirits sector, the council said in its annual report. Rye whiskey amounts to a sliver of those overall revenue and volume figures, but it’s a fast-growing part of the segment.

Hancock Fabrics files for Chapter 11 BALDWYN — Fabric and sewing supply retailer Hancock Fabrics is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time in nine years. The company made the filing Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. In its filing, Hancock estimates both its assets and its debts at between $100 million and $500 million. In its bankruptcy petition, Hancock cites ongoing losses, a lower borrowing limit on its credit line, and high debt payments as reasons for restructuring. Hancock says it has negotiated up to $100 million in bankruptcy financing from lenders. Hancock has also hired a company to liquidate some stores, and says it could sell all or part of the company. In the meantime, it promises business as usual at more than 250 stores in 37 states.

911 dispatch offices. The 911 computer system determines where a call originates and sends the call to either the police or the sheriff. However, the system has been misplacing calls and delaying response times, said Natchez Police Chief Danny White. County Supervisor Mike Lazarus said the county is ready to absorb costs in order to sort out the problem. “If we have to bear the brunt of the financial burden, I’m fine with that,” Lazarus said. The proposed office is in the basement of the sheriff’s office and already has the dispatch equipment set up. This could be an ideal location, Lazarus said, because it already has generator backup in place and would be safe from tornadoes.

Jury summons says to call sex hotline PASCAGOULA — Hun-

dreds of Jackson County citizens received jury summons that instructed them to call a sex hotline. Multiple news outlets report that at least 350 jury summons with the incorrect phone number were sent out to potential jurors. Circuit Clerk Randy Carney says people started calling the circuit clerk’s office Monday morning to report the problem. Others stopped by in person to address the issue. The Circuit Clerk’s office has a contract with a company to send out the summons, and they draft the telephone numbers. Carney said he plans to get to the bottom of what happened. Carney has drafted an apology letter that will go out those who received the erroneous summons. He says he doesn’t know if his office will be liable for costs associated with any potential jurors billed for using the hotline.

The Adams County Board of Supervisors and the Natchez Board of Alderman agreed Monday to consolidate city and county 911 dispatches, according to the Natchez Democrat.

MARKET SUMMARY G

Strategy update? General Motors’ latest quarterly earnings may provide fresh insight into the automaker’s recent investments in the ride-hailing business. The company, due to report its fourth-quarter financial results today, acquired defunct ride-hailing company Sidecar last month. That came shortly after GM invested $500 million in Lyft, another ride-hailing company. Together, the companies plan to open a network of U.S. hubs where Lyft drivers can rent GM vehicles at discounted rates.

Eye on Yum Wall Street anticipates that Yum Brands’ earnings improved in the fourth quarter versus a year earlier. The owner of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell has had an uneven track record over the previous three quarters of 2015. Its earnings and revenue grew in the third quarter, but declined in the previous two. Yum has struggled to revive sales at its restaurants in China. The company has decided to split off its China business later this year. Yum serves up its latest financial results today.

Husband wants to woo his wife back WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I know I have my faults, but I can’t figure out why my wife suddenly hates me. She has said so. We have been married for 25 years and it’s like a light switch flicked. At first, I didn’t quite get it and didn’t respond well (arguing and shouting at her). But when the cold shoulder turned icier and she began distancing herself, I figured the appropriate response was to load up on the patience and understanding. But the crazy thing is, the nicer I am, the angrier she gets. She has even said that she never loved me. That can’t be true. I remember that we would hug and kiss daily and hold hands all the time. We have shared many laughs and many travels, and sex was regularly fulfilling for us both. I thought we were happy. The only thing I can think of is that our kids are now in college and I think my wife is struggling with being an empty nester. She was a stay-at-home mom and school volunteer, so this is a major adjustment. But my wife refuses to consider this possibility. She brings up arguments we had 10 years ago. I can’t get her to recall the good times. She is fixated on how “horrible” I am and

Annie’s Mailbox thinks marriages are supposed to be minute-byminute bliss. She won’t go to counseling together. She won’t even go to church with me or out to dinner. She has been working out a lot and has changed most of her eating habits, following whatever is the latest fad. I’m pretty certain there is no other person involved, and I’m definitely not cheating on her. Do you have any advice? — I’d Like My Wife Back Please Dear Like: There are a few possibilities here. Your wife could have met someone she wants to impress, someone who makes her feel young and desirable, while your marriage has gone a little stale. If so, kicking up the romance could help. Or now that the kids are out of the house, she could have realized that you have little in common. (She may have felt like this for years, but waited until the kids were gone.) Another likely culprit is menopause. Some women go through

major emotional upheaval along with the hormonal changes. Tell your wife you love her and are worried about her health, and suggest she see her doctor. But you cannot force her to be more willing to work on this, so please get counseling for yourself and find the best way to cope with your current situation. Dear Annie: Here is another gift for older parents: A phone call or a visit at regular intervals. I regret that I didn’t phone my parents more often, and when I visited, there didn’t seem to be a lot to talk about. But I realized that just being there was meaningful. Sometimes I took my needlework, and always asked whether there was anything I could do to be helpful. That included some mending, picking up hearing aid batteries, driving their rarely used car, and buying three pairs of slippers for a parent who was unable to go to the store, and returning the pairs that didn’t fit. These are good memories. — Pat Dear Pat: For most parents, there is no better gift than their children’s time. Thank you for saying so.
