BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Praised for his academic performance and dedication to excellence, Daniel G. Villaflor, 18, of Corinth has been named as a Finalist for the 2017 National Merit Scholarship.

The designation means that the Corinth High School student (out of the 16,000 Semifinalists) has met all requirements of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation in order to advance to Finalist standing.

Guild promotes students’ art

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The art gallery is giving local high school students an opportunity to shine by using their designs on promotional materials.

As part of the gallery’s “A Walk in History” project, students from each of the local high schools created images of landmarks such as the Jacinto Courthouse, Fillmore Street Chapel and B.F. Liddon home.

Merry Overholt of the Corinth Artist Guild came up with the idea.

“We want to promote our high school students and their artwork,” she said. “We will make cards of each one of these and use those

People of the Crossroads Jennifer Lancaster, Farmington Even though she is a sports enthusiast, Jennifer Lancaster said that is not the reason her favorite pastime is going to her children’s ballgames.

She said she played softball and basketball when she was younger, and has always enjoyed sports, but she has other reasons for attending her children’s games. “I like the games, but I’m mostly there to witness their accomplishments and stand beside them in everything they do,” she said. Her other favorite thing to do is go to the ocean on family vacations. Lancaster has been employed at Money Now in Corinth for four years.

She and her husband, Michael Lancaster, have been married almost 19 years. They have two children, Hunter, 18, and Michayla, 14.

“The percussionists will teach African rhythm and drum methods which can be found in modern culture music,” said Emmons.

An interpret dance group from Corinth and an African mask display will also be part of the event.

The Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department continues to investigate a weekend shooting.

Sheriff Ben Caldwell told the Daily Corinthian the victim was 22-year-old Rick Dakota Holt of County Road 761, Corinth.

He was shot once in the arm.

A shooting suspect remains in custody. The sheriff identified the suspect as 22-year-old Christopher Clance of Tishomingo County.

Aggravated assault charges are pending and the investigation continues, said Caldwell.

“We are still sorting out the details,” he said.

The shooting happened around 6 p.m. Friday in Baxter’s Trailer Park at County Road 520. Clance showed up at the residence and a physical altercation developed.

Casino revenues Bryant to call special session drop in January

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS AND JEFF AMY

“I think that is the goal of the leadership here in the Legislature — make sure everyone has the time to review it and there’s no surprises.”

Associated Press

Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi casinos stumbled in 2017’s first month, winning almost 7 percent less from gamblers.

State Revenue Department figures show gamblers statewide lost $166 million in January, compared to $178 million in the same month in 2016.

The 12 coastal casinos posted revenue of $99 million, down from $101 million in January 2016.

Revenue on the Gulf

Coast has been generally rising since mid-2014.

Receipts tumbled more than 13 percent at the 16 Mississippi River casinos, to $67 million in January compared to $77 million a year ago. That’s a bad result in a region where business decreases had shown signs of bottoming out in 2016 after years of declines.

Numbers exclude Choctaw Indian casinos, which don’t report winnings to the state.

JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant says he will call a special legislative session on education funding only after lawmakers reach broad agreement on the main points of a proposal.

“If we call a special session only to fight for three or four days, we’ve wasted a lot of time,” Bryant said Thursday.

Republican leaders in the House and Senate said months ago that they want to rewrite the school funding formula. They hired a nonprofit consulting group called EdBuild, which made recommendations, but lawmakers haven’t publicly revealed a proposal.

House Speaker Philip Gunn, RClinton, said Tuesday that legislators won’t stick to regular-session budget deadlines to deal with education spending.

Gunn said Bryant could call a special session during the regular session for two bills. One would rewrite the school funding formula.

The other would put money into it.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman John Read, R-Gautier, said Wednesday that any proposal would be released for scrutiny “several days” before lawmakers act, allowing outside scrutiny

Governor Phil Bryant Mississippi “You want people to ask questions,” Read said.

Bryant also said he wants the public to have a chance to review any proposed funding formula before it comes up for a vote.

“I think that is the goal of the leadership here in the Legislature — make sure everyone has the time to review it and there’s no surprises,” Bryant said.

Read pledged no district would get less under a new formula in the first two years than it gets now. He also promised a budget bill would be in place before the scheduled end of the regular session in early April. School districts typically sign contracts with teachers for the upcoming year in April, meaning superintendents need to know how much money will be available.

Associated Press calculations show EdBuild’s original recommendations would increase state spending by about $70 million, with local districts required to kick

in an additional $120 million.

Lawmakers embraced most of the proposal, but many rejected increased local contributions, which could force about 30 districts to raise taxes or cut spending. Read and Senate Education Committee Chairman Gray Tollison, R-Oxford, have both said any new formula won’t raise a district’s share above the current 27 percent.

Estimates by The Associated Press show it would cost the state roughly $145 million more than it spends now if lawmakers adopt all other EdBuild recommendations without requiring more local tax money. That’s within about $25 million of the full amount demanded by law under the current formula, the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, which lawmakers have only completely funded twice in 20 years. Keeping the 27 percent rule also means a new formula would redistribute less money to property-poor districts.

Following graduation, Daniel has ambitions to attend either Mississippi State University in Starkville or Baylor University in Waco, Texas where he will major in and pursue a career in the field of mechanical engineering.

“We commend Daniel for this tremendous accomplishment. Being named National Merit Finalist is the pinnacle achievement in any high school academic career,” said CHS Principal Dane Aube. “Congratulations to Daniel, his parents and all of his teachers at Corinth Academic and Performing Arts High School. Job well done!”

Echoing Aube’s sentiments, Alcorn School District Superintendent, Dr. Lee Childress also expressed pride in Daniel’s accomplishments.

“Daniel is one of Corinth High School’s most outstanding students. He has earned recognition as a STAR student, received an AICE diploma, and has now been named as a National Merit Finalist,” he said. “Very few individuals across the country have earned this recognition.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, Feb. 21, the 52nd day of 2017. There are 313 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 21, 1947, inventor Edwin H. Land publicly demonstrated his Polaroid Land camera, which used self-developing film to produce a black & white photograph in 60 seconds.

On this date: In 1513, Pope Julius II, who commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, died nearly four months after the project was completed.

In 1613, Mikhail Romanov, 16, was unanimously chosen by Russia’s national assembly to be czar, beginning a dynasty that would last three centuries.

In 1885, the Washington Monument was dedicated.

In 1916, the World War I Battle of Verdun began in France as German forces attacked; the French were able to prevail after 10 months of fighting.

In 1945, during the World War II Battle of Iwo Jima, the escort carrier USS Bismarck Sea was sunk by kamikazes with the loss of 318 men.

In 1958, the USS Gudgeon (SS-567) became the first American submarine to complete a round-the-world cruise, eight months after departing from Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.

In 1965, black Muslim leader and civil rights activist Malcolm X, 39, was shot to death inside Harlem’s Audubon Ballroom in New York by assassins identified as members of the Nation of Islam. (Three men were convicted of murder and imprisoned; all were eventually paroled.)

In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon began his historic visit to China as he and his wife, Pat, arrived in Beijing.

In 1975, former Attorney General John N. Mitchell and former White House aides H.R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman were sentenced to 2 1/2 to 8 years in prison for their roles in the Watergate cover-up (each ended up serving a year and ahalf).

In 1986, Larry Wu-tai Chin, the first American found guilty of spying for China, killed himself in his Virginia jail cell.

In 1992, Kristi Yamaguchi of the United States won the gold medal in ladies’ figure skating at the Albertville Olympics; Midori Ito of Japan won the silver, Nancy Kerrigan of the U.S. the bronze.

In 1997, a bomb exploded at The Otherside Lounge, a gay and lesbian nightclub in Atlanta, injuring five people. (Eric Rudolph later admitted targeting the club.)

Ten years ago British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced his country would withdraw around 1,600 troops from Iraq in the coming months; Denmark, meanwhile, said it would withdraw its 460 troops. A U.S. helicopter was shot down north of Baghdad; all aboard were safely evacuated by a second helicopter.

Across the Region Shiloh Park needs volunteers for battlefield illumination SHILOH — Preparations for observing the 155th Anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh are under way, and the response of citizens from neighboring communities has been wonderful. Over one hundred volunteers have donated 500 hours to help make luminaries for “Flames of Remembrance.”

On Saturday, April 8, 23,746 candle luminaries will be placed on Shiloh battlefield representing each Civil War soldier killed, wounded, or missing over the two days of bitter fighting on April 6-7, 1862. On that day, at 9 a.m., park staff and volunteers will begin placing luminaries along a nine mile route through the battlefield, a task which will take all day.

Then, at around 5:30 p.m., all hands will begin lighting the candles before dusk, when the entire illumination route will be open for public viewing.

As in past years, the illumination route begins at the main entrance to Shiloh battlefield, located on Tennessee Highway 22. The tour route will remain open to the public until 10 p.m.

On Feb. 23 at 6 p.m., a public meeting is scheduled for those who would like to volunteer for the Illumination.

Volunteers have the opportunity to adopt a portion of the battlefield illumination route and distribute, light, and tend the luminaries for that section.

The Feb. 23 meeting will be held at the Shiloh Battlefield Visitor Center.

At least one member of every group, family, or organization desiring to volunteer should attend to hear about planning for the event and the various volunteer assignments.

On April 8, Shiloh National Military Park, in partnership with the Civil War Trust and the History Channel, will also celebrate Park Day 2017. This annual event brings together park stewards and advocates from around the country who volunteer their time and energy to help preserve and maintain our nation’s Civil War battlefields.

All volunteers will receive free Park Day 2017 t-shirts

courtesy of the Civil War Trust while supplies last.

Michie Students keep school informed (Assistant Editor Steve Beavers compiled this story for the Independent Appeal. It is being reprinted with permission.)

MICHIE, Tenn. — Morning announcements are done a little different at Michie Elementary School.

Thirteen seventh graders inform the community of school happenings in front of the camera.

“Michie News” is taped each day and played on YouTube.

“We tried doing it in 2005, but the technology wasn’t at the level it is today,” said Michie teacher Michelle Bowen.

The school took another shot at the idea in 2014. Bowen pulled out the equipment and went to work getting the project off the ground after receiving a video grant.

“I have always been involved with technology,” she said.

McNairy County Director of Schools Wayne Henry – principal of Michie at that time – thought it would be great for the students to do morning announcements in front of the camera.

“Mr. Henry provided a big push for us,” said Bowen.

Each afternoon students come to Bowen’s room to film the following day’s announcements.

Mallory Pickle and Leslie Kate Shaw are two of the hosts for the show.

“This is our fun thing during the day,” said Pickle.

Huston Tacker is filming a recent edition while Bethany Brown, who is also a host, puts the script up on a monitor for the hosts.

“We all work well together,” said Brown.

Students share the latest happenings in the community and the lunch menu. Leonard Phegley contributes his “French Phrase of the Day” and Jeffery “Captain Random” Fowler shares a “Random Fact” during some of the eight-minute segments.

The school mission, Pledge of Allegiance, GoNoodle activity and Larry Bell’s 12 Powerful Words song are also part of each broadcast.

“All the students have different roles,” said Bowen. “Some of them are introverts until you put them in front of the camera.”

Bowen wants students to see the future opportunities available through the program.

“It opens things for them” she said. “It gives them dreams of a future other than what is in the community.”

Starkville Registration open for MSU Spring Preview Days STARKVILLE — Prospective Mississippi State students and their families are invited to learn more about the campus experience and Bulldog family during the university’s 2017 Spring Preview Days.

Space is limited for the March 20 and 27 events, so those planning to attend are encouraged to enroll as soon as possible at www.springpreview.msstate.edu. Cost is $10 per person. Upon arrival, guests will receive an information packet and T-shirt to commemorate their participation.

Lunch will be provided, and an MSU ice cream social is scheduled. Spring Preview Days are geared toward high school juniors, but all prospective students are welcome.

“Spring Preview Days are designed to be fun and informative for students and their families,” said Kylie Forrester.

“Visiting our beautiful campus during the spring semester is a great time to experience what being part of the Bulldog family is all about.”

Forrester is director of MSU’s Office of Orientation and Events, which sponsors preview days during the fall and spring semesters.

Though Spring Preview Day events are not designed for bus tour groups, those interested in bringing groups of students from their school to MSU are asked to contact the Campus Visit Office at visit@msstate. edu.

Movement shapes salesman’s career

BY BOB DARDEN Associated Press

GREENWOOD — For Taylor Dillard, being on the front line in the push for civil rights was just part of the job.

Dillard, 67, a route processor and administrator with Clark Beverage Group, has worked for six CocaCola companies in Greenwood since 1969 — or, as he puts it, “I’ve been bought and sold six times.”

CocaCola Bottling Works of Greenwood hired Dillard as its first African-American salesman in May 1969.

The company’s business model then was completely different from what is today, he said.

“You had a truckload of CocaColas. You had two people on the truck. The way it used to be, one man just set up and collected money, and the other man did all the work. They were both supposed to be working,” he said jokingly.

Typically, in those days, a white driver would tend to the money, and a black helper unloaded the truck.

“The white man made the black man drive the truck, made him unload it, made him load it back while he’d go in there and sit on a counter in the store and smoke a cigarette,” Dillard said.

“When he got the money, he’d make the black drive to the next stop.

“I got one of the jobs where you set up and collected the money and the other guy did the work,” he said. “That’s the way it was.”

Of course, nothing would have happened without the Green-

“It’s been a good, good pleasant job.”

Taylor Dillard Clark Beverage Group wood Movement.

Led by the Rev. M.J. Black, pastor of Turner Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church, and the Rev. William Wallace, pastor of Jennings Temple Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, the Greenwood Movement engaged in a citywide boycott of white businesses seeking one goal — the hiring of black employees.

“The black people had the whole city boycotted because they had black people doing nothing,” Dillard said.

Charlie Spells, whom Dillard described as the “one who broke the ice,” began working as a wholesale milk truck driver for Midwest Dairy in 1968. Rose’s Department store was the first to hire a black cashier, Dillard said. Then Liberty Cash Grocery on Main Street hired Leonard Burden, who worked there many years.

Although some stores gave in to the boycott, Gibson’s Discount never did, Dillard said.

Still, Dillard managed to find work in segregated Greenwood.

“I was about 17 or 18. I loaded a bread truck for Hart’s Bakery,” he said.

Burger Chef, then the city’s only fast food restaurant, needed a lot of buns for its hamburgers, and that presented an opportunity.

“The man who had the route couldn’t get all of the buns on the truck,” Dillard said. “There

was a truckload of buns that had to be delivered on Saturday. I was so happy.”

During this time, Dillard also worked for Midwest Dairy’s ice cream department.

While on a bread truck working for Hart’s on Saturday, he drew the attention of Harrison Curtis, the general manager of the CocaCola Bottling Works of Greenwood.

“He looked at me so funny. I wondered why he was looking at me,” Dillard said.

Dillard said Curtis offered him a job two or three times, and at first he said no. But it didn’t take long for him to change his mind, adding, “I didn’t think about making history or nothing.”

Dillard had taken a sixmonth delayed entry into the Navy, so he figured any job he would get would be shortlived. Since he was his grandmother’s sole survivor, Curtis arranged for Dillard to go to Jackson to apply for a hardship discharge, which was granted.

“That was during the Vietnam War. You just couldn’t get out,” Dillard said.

“Mr. Curtis treated me as if I was kin to him,” he said.

Dillard’s weekly route ran from Main Street, worked toward Carrollton Avenue and included Amanda Elzy High School.

“It took a whole week to work it twice a week. I was doing all the jobs on the truck,” he said.

There was no racial animosity at CocaCola, he said: “I was

treated just like everybody else.”

Since CocaCola Bottling Co. of Greenwood, five more companies have sold CocaCola products in Greenwood: Jackson CocaCola beginning in 1980, Biedenharn Bottling Group of Louisiana in 1986, CocaCola Enterprises in 1996, CocaCola Refreshments in 2010 and Clark Beverage Group in 2016.

After the days of selling from a loaded truck, Dillard then went into “preselling,” where he would go around and deliveries with two or three trucks were made the next day.

When Jackson CocaCola came in, Dillard was promoted to supervisor and then district sales manager. He has served as route processor and administrator the past 16 years.

“Each phase, like when Jackson CocaCola bought us, it got better, and when Biedenharn bought Coke, it got really better because if you could do the job, they’d give you the chance to do it,” he said. “You just have to want to work.”

For a time, Dillard said, the Coke man, the milk man and the bread man were the sharpest dressed men in town, wearing neckties, caps and color coordinated uniforms.

Dillard, a father of nine, also served on the Greenwood City Council from 2005 to 2009, in part because the company encouraged its employees to be civically involved.

“It’s been a good, good pleasant job,” he said. “I’ve met a lot of people. A lot of people helped me, and I’ve helped a lot of people.”

Museum heads see role as educators JACKSON — The newly hired directors of two Mississippi history museums see their jobs as being educators as much as curators.

The Museum of Mississippi History and the Mississippi Emily Civil Rights Museum are two Wagster entities under a single roof.

Pettus They are being built near the Capitol in Jackson and will Capitol Dome open in December to culminate the state’s bicentennial.

Pamela D.C. Junior comes to the civil rights museum from the Smith Robertson Museum and Cultural Center, just a few blocks away.

Smith Robertson is housed in a former school where Richard Wright was once a young student, and it showcases a broad scope of Mississippi’s African-American history. The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum will be larger and will focus on the pivotal years from 1945 to 1976 — a period that included violent white backlash to massive black voter registration efforts, court battles over school desegregation and economic boycotts to push for fair treatment of black customers and hiring of black employees.

Junior, 58, grew up in Jackson and earned an education degree from Jackson State University. She has been manager of Smith Robertson since 1999 and said she enjoys guiding students and seeing “the twinkle in their eyes when they get something that you’re talking about.”

Sometimes, youngsters bring an unexpected perspective that makes Junior think about history in a different way.

“I had a young boy ask me, ‘What was the difference in the water that they were drinking when the water fountains were separate?

Did it taste different?’ Those are the type questions that I’m interested in because then it takes them further in their own researching,” Junior said.

Rachel Myers, 30, comes to the Museum of Mississippi History from the museums division of the Jackson-based Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life. She earned a master’s degree in museum studies from Johns Hopkins University and moved to Mississippi for her job nine years ago.

“I’ve been saying that I chose Mississippi, and I’m so honored that Mississippi chose me for this position — to be able to teach and tell and interpret the Mississippi history that I have come to love and appreciate so much,” Myers said.

The two museums are run by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, where Myers and Junior begin work March 1.

They join a longtime department employee, Cindy Gardner, who will work as administrator for the two museums.

Gardner, 43, earned a history degree from Stetson University. She moved to Mississippi 18 years ago for a job with Archives and History. She has been collections registrar at the Old Capitol Museum in downtown Jackson, and has been project manager for the museums during their development.

“I will handle all the day-to-day operations of the building in general, where Pamela and Rachel can focus on the programming, the temporary exhibits, the tours that go on in each individual museum,” Gardner said.

The state has spent about $90 million for construction and exhibits for the museums, and private donors have given $17 million.

Reuben Anderson of Jackson, an attorney who’s now in private practice in Jackson, was the first African-American justice on the Mississippi Supreme Court, serving 1985-91.

He’s currently a trustee for the Department of Archives and History and is raising money for the two museums.

At the Capitol last week, Anderson said the museums will function as the state’s largest classroom: “They will change Mississippi for the better and have a positive impact on the many generations to come.”

Lessons learned about online sales tax STARKVILLE — The fight in Mississippi over a very straightforward decision regarding whether it’s in the state’s best interests to collect the same seven percent sales tax on online sales that we have forced bricks-andmortar retailers to collect since 1932 is getting heated.

Opponents of online sales tax collections want you to forget many substantive facts.

Forget the fact that 74 percent of Americans are already paying sales tax when they shop with Amazon.

Forget that in the 45 states that have a sales tax, all but six already collects sales or use taxes from online or remote sellers.

Forget that there is no logical, rational argument that justifies forcing traditional retailers to collect sales taxes while giving online retailers a pass. Forget that Amazon and other online sellers see the handwriting on the judicial wall – hence their negotiated settlements with a growing number of states.

Forget that President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch wrote in a recent Colorado case involving the online sales tax question in a concurring opinion in Direct Marketing Association Inc. v. Brohl: “If anything, by

asking us to strike down Colorado’s law, out-ofstate mail order and internet reSid Salter tailers don’t seek compaColumnist rable treatment to their in-state brick-and-mortar rivals, they seek more favorable treatment, a competitive advantage, a sort of judicially sponsored arbitrage opportunity or ‘tax shelter.’”

The Mississippi Department of Revenue has already ironed out a deal with Amazon to collect sales tax on their online sales in Mississippi. That came in reaction to the growing majority of states that are moving to force online sellers to abide by the same rules as traditional retailers in terms of sales taxes.

More large online retailers are expected to follow.

But what appeared to be a wise decision by Mississippi legislators to shore up the ongoing erosion of the largest single segment of the state’s revenue stream has run into turbulence as special interests spend to defend the status quo.

Into that pitched battle came the best endorsement for the state’s decision to pursue online sales tax

collection in the form of a business decision by one of America’s most respected business icons – Warren Buffett.

Over the last several months, Buffett dumped 90 percent of his stock in big box retailer Wal-Mart – a fixture in Mississippi that slowly but surely put a huge number of Mississippi small businesses out of business in straight competition. Remember, Wal-Mart collects sales tax in their stores and online sales because they have a “nexus” in the state through their stores and distribution centers.

Why? Because of concerns that American shopping habits are changing from traditional retailers to online sales. Buffett expressed concerns about the ability of Wal-Mart and other traditional retail sellers to compete in the long term with Amazon’s Jeff Bezos – saying it was unlikely that competitors would “outBezos Bezos.”

Motley Fool writer Todd Campbell reported: “In the past, Buffett was slow to embrace the use of the internet to boost sales at Berkshire Hathaway’s wholly owned companies. However, that’s recently been changing, and as he sees the sales tailwinds at his companies from his online initiatives, it may be

factoring into his increasing admiration of Bezos, and his declining interest in owning bricks-and-mortar companies like Wal-Mart.

“It’s probably not lost on Buffett that Amazon has been a much better investment than Wal-Mart over the years, either. Under Bezos’ leadership, Amazon’s trailing-12-month revenue has surged to $128 billion since 1994, and that has resulted in astonishing returns for long-term investors. Over the past 15 years, Amazon’s 34 percent-peryear average return crushes the average 12.9 percent return for the specialty retail industry, and it absolutely demolishes Wal-Mart’s 3.2 percent annual return over the period.”

Mississippi relies on sales tax collections for about 40 percent of the state’s General Fund budget. The state has already enacted substantial tax cuts in recent years and the state’s revenue stream is at best flat.

Warren Buffett read the tea leaves on the future of traditional retail versus online sales and made a business decision accordingly.

Mississippi’s Legislature should ignore the special interests and do the same.

Partisan lines stay fixed amid Trump turmoil Amid the turmoil of the first month of the Trump administration, with courts blocking his temporary travel ban and his national security adviser resigning after 24 days, the solid partisan divisions in the electorate remain in place.

That’s apparent in roll call votes in Congress. Republicans have almost unanimously supported administration policies and appointments (except for withdrawn Labor nominee Andy Puzder). Democrats have almost unanimously opposed them, casting more “nay” votes on the president’s Cabinet nominees than they have at any time in memory.

The same thing is apparent in polls. Past new presidents have enjoyed honeymoon periods, with many opposition party voters giving them approval. Not so with Donald Trump. The RealClearPolitics average of recent polls shows him with 44.9 percent approval and 49.5 percent disapproval.

Even the ban on travel from seven Middle Eastern countries elicits a similar response in the polling

-- though a 57 percent majority, according to a Fox News poll, rejects the Michael belief held Barone by many liberal colColumnist umnists and some federal judges that it amounts to the “Muslim ban” that candidate Trump briefly advocated and backed off from more than a year ago.

During the 2016 campaign, it was widely assumed that many Republicans would not vote for Trump.

Some college-educated Republicans didn’t, but their numbers were offset by noncollege-educated whites who had previously voted Democratic. Many Trump voters have qualms about their candidate, but for the moment, at least, they’re sticking with him.

They’re also standing by the party he affiliated himself with belatedly in life.

Public opinion is more favorable to the Republican Party than it has been in years.

That’s not because Demo-

cratic voters like it more but because Republican voters who previously had reservations about it have rallied to its standard.

Meanwhile, Democratic politicians and, it seems, a large majority of Hillary Clinton voters remain totally disinclined to compromise with the candidate most had assumed she could easily beat.

Some style themselves “the Resistance,” as if they were Frenchmen opposed to the Hitler-allied Vichy regime. In private conversations and on social media, they speculate about how soon Trump will be impeached.

In the process, Democrats are abandoning the advantage that an opposition typically has in off-year contests, the fact that its candidates can adapt to local terrain while the president’s party is tethered to his persona and record, which may be unpopular as his actions reduce his appeal in one or another segment of the electorate.

Today’s Democrats seem bent on defeating in primaries incumbents and challenger candidates who make any bows to Trumpism.

Democrats are talking of targeting the 23 Republican-held districts carried by Clinton, 15 of which have large numbers of collegeeducated whites. They’ll have a test run in the April 18 special election to fill the Atlanta-area seat of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price; previously heavily Republican, it gave Trump only a 1.5 percent margin.

But will the rage exhibited in the streets of Brooklyn and Berkeley reverberate in Buckhead? It’s certainly not likely to help the 12 incumbent House Democrats defending districts carried by Trump.

Currently, both sides are sticking with the approach they employed in 2016.

Events can change attitudes, but at the moment, it looks like uphill sledding for the side that lost narrowly -- but decisively -- in November.

MSU to host activist Meredith on March 1

Staff photo by Mark Boehler

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State’s African American Studies program is continuing its 10th anniversary celebration with a Wednesday, March 1 panel discussion.

Taking place at 6 p.m. in Lee Hall’s Bettersworth Auditorium, “James Meredith and the March Against Fear” will feature U.S. Air Force veteran Meredith and fellow activists Flonzie BrownWright and Hollis Watkins, who participated in the major 1966 Civil Rights Movement demonstration.

In addition to the College of Arts and Sciences’ African American Studies program, the panel discussion is supported by the university’s Office of Public Affairs and the James Worth Bagley College of Engineering’s Office of Diversity Programs and Student Development.

The panel will be moderated by MSU Associate Professor of History Jason Morgan Ward, author of “Hanging Bridge: Racial Violence and America’s Civil Rights Century” (Oxford University Press, 2016).

Also speaking will be Aram Goudsouzian, University of Memphis history department chair and author of “Down to the Crossroads: Civil Rights, Black Power, and the Meredith March Against Fear” (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2014).

A Kosciusko native, Meredith became the first African American admitted to the University of Mississippi in 1962.

On June 5, 1966, Meredith started the “March Against Fear,” a solo march from Memphis, Tennessee, to Jackson, Mississippi, to increase awareness of civil rights violations in the Magnolia

Prepping for spring lawn care It seems that spring is right around the corner in Alcorn County.

We’ve had some very odd weather conditions in the state this year and I have already seen several yards that are starting to green Patrick up, and we’re Poindexter just in February.

The National Ag Lines Weather service estimates that we are 20 days ahead of schedule when it comes to warm weather. We will have to wait and see what the weather holds for us. If I had to guess, I think we will still have some colder periods of weather in March and possibly April. These could cause some problems with yards as well as fruit trees that might already be in bloom.

I have also received several calls and have made several home visits concerning different winter lawn weeds thus far this year. Most of the common weeds that I have seen thus far include henbit (has a nice purple flower), chickweed, wild garlic and onions, Carolina geranium and several species of dock and plantain. Most of these are what we term broadleaves.

To control broadleaves you may want to use a herbicide that contains 2,4-D. This is a very common broadleaf weed killer. It is found in a variety of different commercial mixes, you just have to check the label.

You must be particularly careful when using not only this herbicide, but others as well.

As the weather gets hotter, the activity of 2,4-D will increase.

Be sure to always follow the label directions for mixing and always make sure that the wind is not blowing and that you are wearing protective garments in case you have a sensitivity to herbicides. Remember that the label is the law. Also keep in mind that off target drift can be a real problem especially if you are spraying around flower beds, trees, etc. so be mindful of where you are spraying and again, always follow the label directions.

If your yard has areas that don’t have grass in them at all, you may be looking at a replanting type situation. I would first recommend getting a soil test to make sure you have the needed nutrients in the soil to sustain growth of the grass. These soil samples cost just $8.00 each to have them analyzed but they can save you money in the long run. Soil samples kits can be picked up at the Alcorn County Extension office free of charge.

I have included a chart that lists the planting rates of the most common types of grasses that are used in the home lawn.

Planting dates for most of the grasses listed below will range from April until the end of June. Also remember that traditionally we will have a cold snap sometime in April. This isn’t always the case, but it is a good idea to keep this in mind and not get in too big of a hurry when it comes to planting.

• Type Germination Time Rate per 1,000 square ft. area • Bermudagrass 10 days @ temp>70 F one-half pound • Centipede grass 21 days

@ temp>70 F 4 ounces • Creeping fescue 14 days @ temp>70 F 3 pounds • Tall fescue 10 days @ temp>70 F 4 pounds Keep in mind that you can also sow sprigs of bermudagrass, centipede, and zoysiagrass when available or you can purchase sod which makes the job of establishing a yard much quicker.

If you have trouble figuring out just how much of a 1,000 square foot area you have, you can use the following formula. Multiply the length in feet by the width in feet, if the area is a square or rectangle.

If your area is smaller than 1,000 square feet, then divide the actual area by 1,000. Then multiply that decimal figure by the recommended lime and fertilizer rates. For example: If you have a plot that measures 16’ by 24’, the area will equal 384 square feet (16x24=384).

384 divided by 1,000 = .384.

Next multiply .384 by your fertilizer rate. If 3 pounds of 8-8-8 are recommended per 1,000 square feet, you would multiply .384 by 3 and get 1.15 pounds of 8-8-8 for this plot that measures 16’x24’.

As always, if you have not soil tested, you need to do this immediately. Based upon soil recommendations you will need to go ahead and add lime to your lawn at this time.

State.

He was shot on the second day of the march and unable to continue.

Major civil rights organizations resumed the march. Along with Martin Luther King Jr., community organizers BrownWright and Watkins were among those who aided the march.

A Jackson community organizer who inspired “March Against Fear” participants by singing freedom songs, Watkins became the first Mississippi youth to join the 1961 Voting Rights Project of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

Based in Canton, Brown-Wright provided shelter and food to King and other “March Against Fear” participants.

She became the first black woman to hold elected office in Mississippi when she was named

Madison County election commissioner in 1968.

Meredith later rejoined the marchers in Jackson, where he walked alongside King and other civil rights leaders.

Along the way, civil rights activist Stokely Carmichael uttered the phrase “Black Power,” which became a national slogan following the march.

What Lack I Yet!

“The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: What Lack I Yet? Jesus said unto him, if thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.” (Matt. 19:21-22).

We gather from reading this text that the young man was sincere.

It is amazing today to observe the sincerity that over shadows the religious world in their interrogation of the way of salvation.

Furthermore, it is alarming how unprepared many of us are to receive the answers to the questions we ask.

HE LACKED A SENSE OF GUILT: People today may live a lifetime and still never realize their guilt. The scriptures furnish us the record: “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Rom. 3:23) It would be well for each of us to take an inward look at ourselves occasionally just to see how far from the “straight and narrow” way we are. We note in John (1st) 1:8- “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”

HE LACKED WHOLEHEARTED SERVICE: Jeremiah acclaims in Jer. 29:13- “And ye shall seek me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart”. Partial service is not sufficient to be pleasing to God. We will either be on the Lord’s side or the devil’s side. (Matt. 12:30; Josh.

24:15). It is evident that wholehearted service was not rendered to the Lord in so much that the young man had an attitude of sorrowfulness at the hint of selling what he had and distributing to the poor.

Many today are willing to play the game of life on a “half n half” basis. Half for the Lord and half for Satan. Such a pattern of life is impossible. Our affection must be on heavenly things in our spiritual life. (Col. 3:2).

HE LACKED PUTTING THE LORD FIRST: This is a common mistake of many today. We think that the Lord is so kind, loving, merciful, and just that he will allow us to put any and everything before him. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: And all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matt. 6:33) The young man thought he could put his riches before the Lord and his commands.

People today think that they can put pleasures before the Lord. Just anything that appears to be more convenient and less time and effort consuming is what we put before God. HE LACKED SELF-DENIAL: People in general today are not Christians because they think God’s plan is not good, but simply because they are not willing to deny themselves of the old sinful way of life. Many professed “Christians” are not faithful today because they have not learned the lesson of self denial. (Rom. 12: 1-2). WHAT DO YOU LACK? Read your Bible – Matthew 19 - Welcome

Trump names McMaster adviser

BY CATHERINE LUCEY AND ROBERT BURNS Associated Press

PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump has tapped Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, a prominent military strategist

known as a creative thinker, as his new national security adviser, replacing the ousted Michael Flynn.

Trump announced the pick Monday at his Palm Beach, Florida, club and said McMaster is “a man

Financial strategies.

One-on-one advice.

of tremendous talent and tremendous experience.”

Sitting next to Trump for the announcement, McMaster said he was honored to take on the role and added that he looks forward to “doing everything that I can to advance and protect the interests of the American people.”

The president’s choice further elevates the influence of military officers in the new administration. Trump, who has no military or foreign policy experience, has shown a strong preference for putting generals in top roles.

In this case, he tapped an active-duty officer for a post that’s sometimes used as a counterweight to the Pentagon. McMaster, who wore his uniform for the announcement, joins Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, both retired generals, in Trump’s inner circle of national security advisers.

The White House said Monday McMaster plans

to remain on active military duty.

He will take on the challenge of leading a National Security Council that has not adjusted smoothly to Trump’s leadership. The president suggested he does not trust holdovers from the Obama administration and complained about leaks to reporters. His decision to put his top political adviser on the senior committee of the National Security Council drew sharp criticism. On Friday, the head of the council’s Western Hemisphere division was fired after he criticized Trump’s policies and his inner circle of advisers.

Trump said Monday that retired Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, who had been his acting adviser, will now serve as the National Security Council chief of staff. He also said he would be asking John Bolton, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to work with them in a “somewhat different capacity.”

Angry daughter-in-law may want more free baby sitting D E A R ABBY: My daughterin-law is extremely jealous of the close relationship Abigail I have with daughVan Buren my ter. If I spend time with my Dear Abby daughter and grandson, she gets mad at me and keeps my grandchildren from me. I need advice on how to handle her. I get her children almost every weekend. I work a full-time job, but she feels like I should have them more. -- GRANDMA IN GEORGIA DEAR GRANDMA: I don’t think your daughter-in-law is necessarily jealous of the close relationship you have with your daughter.

But it may be that she wants more free baby-sitting service.

You say you have her children almost every weekend. That hardly seems to me like she’s keeping them from you.

Remind her that working a fulltime job and taking care of her children the amount of time you already do is as much as you can handle, and that you need time with your daughter and her son.

There are only so many hours in a day, and you need time to rest if you’re going to go the distance. If that’s not enough for her, so be it. If she chooses to punish you for it, it is her children who will also suffer -- not just you.

DEAR ABBY: I live in a small town in Pennsylvania, where I teach fifth grade and coach at the local school. I love my job and feel lucky to be teaching next door to my mentor.

The problem is there’s another teacher and a student with whom I share the same name. I can’t help but feel discouraged when colleagues and students refer to me as “Junior ( )” or “Fake ( )” and make jokes about it on a daily basis. I try to laugh it off, but it does get to me. I feel I should be respected because I am a professional.

Is there a better way to handle this so it doesn’t negatively affect my day? -- FRUSTRATED TEACHER DEAR FRUSTRATED: The people who do this may think they’re hilariously funny, but when students do it, it is disrespectful. Tell them you would prefer to be addressed as “Mr. (first initial of your last name).”

As for your colleagues, remind them that you are an adult now, nothing about you is fake -- and

give yourself a nickname more acceptable than “Junior.” Do it with humor. If they slip up, keep reminding them, and eventually it will catch on.

DEAR ABBY: I am in my 50s and disabled. I am also the fulltime caregiver for my parents. I live with them because they are also disabled and need my help.

An old friend has moved back to the area. I care very much for her, but I’m afraid I have nothing to offer her because I don’t have my own place or make a lot being on Social Security. I’m hesitant to get close to her because all I have is the way I feel about her. Advice? -- NEEDING GUIDANCE IN IOWA DEAR NEEDING GUIDANCE: I do have a nugget of advice for you: I think you should be honest. The way you feel about this woman could be enough for her. Whether you have anything to offer is something SHE should be allowed to decide rather than you doing it for her. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Not only is it natural to feel defensive around people who have a history of socking you when you’re not expecting it: It’s advisable. Likely this has to do with the soft jabs of a loved one.

Arms up; protect your head; duck and cover.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

There’s a point at which too much conversation clouds the meaning of things instead of making it clearer. While some seem committed to talking things to death, you jump in and fix it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

It takes a confident person to risk being misunderstood and maybe that’s partly why you’ll do it. Plus, you’ll learn more from people who are dissimilar to you than from people with whom you have a great deal in common.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

When things get a little more colorful and dramatic than is comfortable, be grateful for it. Were you to be limited to a very confined and unvarying society, you would be quickly bored to tears.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Discipline is just not something you easily come up with on your own right now. Enlist the help of a coach, a champion or a supportive friend. Not only will you get results; you’ll feel loved in the process.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Before you get into the mix, remind yourself of your purpose.

While you’re at it, revel for a few minutes in what you’re all about.

Because if you’re not sure of this, someone will come along and fill in the blanks for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your big dream of the day may not be anything too spectacular; rather, it’s a small personal accomplishment or meaningful exchange that drives you to work deliberately and connect warmly with others today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Don’t be surprised if, when you sit down to make a positive plan of action, negativity comes first.

Work through the grievances.

Once you give them airtime, they’ll go away.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). Fun-loving people are the best when fun is chief on the agenda. What about when it’s not? If their love of fun is stronger than their love of doing the job at hand, trust your instincts and get the right person for the job.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re an artist. This doesn’t always present itself in the way some people think about creativity, but there are so many ways to turn life into a beautiful experience. That’s what you’ll chase today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Sameness leads to staleness.

Seek variety and diversity. It takes an effort to mix things up, and you’ll probably meet with resistance from those more fearful than you. Do it anyway. Everyone will be better for it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It’s a day to read and learn.

Social topics, in particular, will be lucky to know about. They’ll also be as exciting to read up on as any fiction, because this learning paves the way to new adventures.

Lady Blue Devils top Ruleville - advance

BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Like a brand new bottle of Heinz ketchup, the Booneville Lady Blue Devils took a few minutes to get going against pesky Ruleville Central, but once they did they poured it on 85-61 in the first round of the north half playoffs at Booneville High School Monday night.

(G) Booneville 85 Ruleville Central 61 Eleven BHS players found their way into the scorebook when all was said and done, but the beginning was a little back-and-forth between the Lady Devils and the Lady Tigers.

Coach Michael Smith knew that Ruleville had some players and even acknowledged before the game that his team

would have to slow down three good guards and a pair of big girls with some athleticism inside.

That was indeed the case as RCHS’s 5’11 post Jecorriah Bracey had a huge game with 31 points, but Booneville did a good job limiting the guards from Ruleville by creating a lot of pressure on defense and causing numerous turnovers and altered shots in the lane.

Once the Lady Devils got the wheels rolling, they didn’t stop until the game was over.

But to their credit, the Lady Tigers came out in the third quarter trailing 51-21 and looked like a completely different team as they opened with a 12-4 run to open the second half.

Ruleville pulled to with 67-

50 with six minutes remaining in the contest but that was as close as they would come, as Booneville outscored them 18-11 the rest of the way to improve to 25-5 on the season.

Ruleville Central ends their season at 15-13.

Adillace Young paced the Lady Devils with 15, followed

by Curlee with 14, and Shimia Williams with 11. Kabrina Hill added nine and Elly Nash scored eight.

(G) Greenwood 50 Corinth 46 The Lady Warriors were forced to travel to west Mississippi to face Greenwood in the first round of the girls north half Monday night and nearly pulled the upset of the Lady Bulldogs, narrowly falling 50-46 after leading 28-26

at the break and being tied 38-all after three periods.

Kristen Herman once again led CHS in scoring with a game-high 24, and Alison Greene added eight.

(G) Ray Brooks 56 Biggersville 54 After a lackluster performance in Friday’s consolation game during the Division 1-1A tournament in Booneville, coach Cliff Little’s squad reached as deep down as they could and fought tooth and nail with Ray Brooks, the No. 1 team from division 3.

Biggersville trailed by a single point - 25-24- at intermission and knotted the tightlycontested game 45-45 at the end of three. But Ray Brooks was just two points better on Please see RECAP | 9

Three Aggie bowlers make All-State These three Kossuth bowlers made the All-State team after leading their respective squads to the Mississippi Class I state championships last Friday in Jackson. Pictured (L-R) are Kadan Cooper, who finished 4th with a 757 series, Kerissa Beth Martin, who finished 1st with a 711 series, and Peyton Lee, who finished 1st with an 806 series. Lee also finished first on the All-Regional team with a 778 series.

Several SEC teams on tournament bubble The Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Southeastern Conference enters the final two weeks of the regular season with much at stake as it seeks to expand its NCAA Tournament presence.

With seven of the league’s 14 members anywhere from 30th to 75th in the RPI , the SEC might just lead the nation in squads sitting on the tournament bubble.

“These next four games determine a lot for all of us,” Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said.

After getting just three NCAA Tournament bids last season for the third time in the last four years, the SEC took steps to improve its men’s basketball performance. The SEC named former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese a special adviser on men’s basketball.

Many SEC teams have upgraded their nonconference schedules.

There are signs of progress. The SEC went 5-5 in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge last month after going 1020 in the first three years of that event.

“I think this league’s starting to make a move in an unbelievable direction,” South Carolina coach Frank Martin said.

“I think the days of us having three teams in the tournament and all this other stuff, they’re behind us.”

That’s not necessarily

the case just yet.

No. 11 Kentucky (225, 12-2 SEC) and No. 13 Florida (22-5, 12-2) have essentially locked up NCAA bids. South Carolina also seems likely to make the field.

Then it gets much less certain.

This rundown of the SEC teams between 30th and 75th in the RPI underscores the importance of the next couple of weeks.

South Carolina (20-7, 10-4) RPI: 30th NCAA resume: South Carolina’s two-game skid brings back unpleasant memories of last season, when a late fade knocked the Gamecocks into the NIT. But the Gamecocks likely have done enough to get an NCAA invitation this time around.

Remaining schedule: Tuesday at Florida, Saturday vs. Tennessee, Feb. 28 vs. Mississippi State, March 4 at Mississippi.

Arkansas (20-7, 9-5) RPI: 34th NCAA resume: Arkansas helped its case considerably by winning at South Carolina on Wednesday.

The Razorbacks have a 5-2 SEC road record, but they also have an embarrassing loss to Missouri.

Remaining schedule:

Wednesday vs. Texas A&M, Saturday at Auburn, March 1 at Florida, March 4 vs. Georgia.

Vanderbilt (14-13, 7-7) RPI: 49th NCAA resume: Vanderbilt is just a game above .500, but its demanding schedule gives the Commodores an outside shot at getting a bid if they go on a late run. Vanderbilt won at Florida and also has home victories over Iowa State and South Carolina , though the Commodores also lost to Missouri .

“Obviously we need to do a lot of work still and win a lot of games, but with some of the teams we’ve beaten and our strength of schedule, we definitely have some opportunities down the stretch,” Vanderbilt coach Bryce Drew said.

Remaining schedule: Wednesday at Tennessee, Saturday vs. Mississippi State, Feb. 28 at Kentucky, March 4 vs.

Florida.

Tennessee (15-12, 7-7) RPI: 50th NCAA resume: Picked before the season to finish 13th in the league, Tennessee is instead in the middle of the pack and has the schedule strength to impress the NCAA Tournament committee if it surges down

the stretch. Tennessee’s selling point is a home win over Kentucky . Wednesday’s home matchup with Vanderbilt is a potential do-ordie game for both teams.

“The biggest thing for us is we’re here,” Tennessee forward Admiral Schofield said. “What we’ve worked for, we have right in our grasp.

It’s just, ‘Who wants it?’ I think we want it enough.”

Remaining schedule: Wednesday vs. Vanderbilt, Saturday at South Carolina, March 1 at LSU, March 4 vs. Alabama.

Georgia (15-12, 6-8) RPI: 56th NCAA resume: Georgia has endured numerous close losses this season and may have seen any realistic hope for at-large consideration disappear Saturday when it lost to Kentucky.

Georgia’s bad luck continued in the Kentucky game when leading scorer Yante Maten sprained his knee. “I don’t think our medical people or myself have any expectation of Yante returning during the regular season,” Georgia coach Mark Fox said.

Remaining schedule: Thursday at Alabama, Saturday vs. LSU, March 1 vs. Auburn, March 4 at Arkansas.

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I have a sister-in-law who always has spur-of-the-moment birthday parties for her children — usually just giving us all one day’s notice. They are active in school activities and sports. All of these activities have schedules planned weeks in advance, but my sisterin-law’s excuse is that the parties have to be “squeezed in” when they have time. Well, what about my time? I am expected to drop plans and sacrifice my own children’s activities so they can go to their cousins’ birthday parties? I feel disrespected. I’m sure her kids wonder why no one comes to their parties.

How should I deal with the next surprise-foreveryone party? — Party Pooper Dear Party Pooper: The next time this happens, go to the party, because your little nieces and nephews really shouldn’t have to pay the price for their mom’s mistakes. But afterward, sit down and have a talk with your sister-in-law about her schedule. It sounds as if she is a bit underwater with the kids’ schedules and struggling to stay organized. Encourage her to cut back on a few

Dear Annie of the activities. In the long run, she and her kids would benefit from a “less is more” approach.

Dear Annie: This is my first correspondence to any advice columnist — and I go way back to the days of Ann Landers. Your response to “Scuffed” was wrong from the salutation to the period of the last sentence! “Scuffed” wrote to you because her sister-in-law’s fiance “scratched” her car with his truck tires backing out of the driveway and he refused to pay for the damages. “Scuffed” had been leaving her children there for her sister-in-law to baby-sit but was reconsidering that arrangement.

You told her to follow her instincts and not leave the kids there anymore.

You would have her cause a family upheaval involving young children because of scratches to a car? Really? Just because you feel you should always follow your gut feeling? And then you told “Scuffed” to just invite the sister-in-law to her house to visit with the kids instead and said she would probably want an excuse to get out of the house

anyway because of her fiance’s “lousy attitude.”

It’s as if she had an angel and devil on her shoulders and all your advice came from the one holding the pitchfork. How about taking the high road and a deep breath and worrying about more important things in life? In the fleeting precious time we have on this earth, keep the peace and show the love.

You’d have her give that up because of paint on a car door. C’mon. — Older and Wiser Dear Older: I appreciate your outlook about keeping the peace and showing the love, but I think you misunderstood my point. I wasn’t suggesting that “Scuffed” stop speaking to her future brother-inlaw. I only meant that she should stop leaving her children with the couple. Given the man’s bizarrely aggressive response to the incident — calling up “Scuffed” and her husband to tell them that he’d never apologize — it seems plausible he has anger issues. Why risk exposing your children to that sort of volatility?
