Forrest Memorial to get new owner the sale of the cemetery by public bid, the Secretary of State’s Office announced on Tuesday.

The deadline is 5 p.m. May 8 for sealed bids to be submitted to Chancery Clerk Bobby Marolt, and bids will be opened no later than May 11.

More than three years after going into receivership, Forrest Memorial Park will have the opportunity to get new ownership.

A chancery judge has ordered

“We are hopeful this sale will restore stability and bring closure to families who have loved ones buried at Forrest Memorial Park,” said Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann. “Our ultimate goal was for this cemetery to be placed in private owner-

ship. This sale is the final step towards that goal.”

The cemetery includes 12.5 acres of land on Highway 45 south of Corinth. The sale includes real property only and does not include the contractual obligations of the former

owners. Costs such as closing, surveying and legal fees will be the responsibility of the buyer.

An investigation by the Secretary of State’s Office in 2011 found the cemetery’s pre-need Please see PARK | 3A

Students learn art of mandalas Cost-share project helping to improve landowner resources

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Encouraging creativity and a life-long love of art, local artist Judith Lowery visited the 3rd graders at Biggersville and Rienzi Elementary Schools on Tuesday for a very special project.

“Each year, local artists, art teachers and their students take time at all six elementary schools in Corinth and Alcorn County to teach hands-on visual art activities as part of LINK’s Artists in the Schools project,” said LINK President Laura Gilham.

With scented markers, stickers, hand wipes, glue and construction paper in tow, Lowery arrived at the schools with a simple yet dramatic assignment in mind.

“Today we are making mandalas which are colorful geometric designs,” said Lowery.

“Once the students have shaded and embellished their mandalas with stickers, they will then be cut out and backed with coordinating construction paper to resemble a matted piece of art.”

“I chose the mandalas because I thought it would be a quick, easy and entertaining project,” she added.

Derived from the Sanskrit meaning “circle”, mandalas have been employed in cultures throughout the world and come in many unique designs and shapes.

As she supervised the progress of Andrea Coleman’s 3rd grade class at BES, the art enthusiast couldn’t resist the chance to test the art knowl-

Landowners are happy.

The cost-share program of the Alcorn County Soil and Water Conservation District and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is the reason behind their happiness.

The Tarebreeches Creek program has helped producers protect and improve soil and water resources within the watershed.

“The program helped me repair eroded areas in the field

where heavy rains had caused some major gullies,” said local landowner David Rainey.

“Installing these conservation practices allowed me to continue working the land I had backed away from earlier last year.”

A Section 319 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency provided funds for the program. The funds were administered through the Mississippi Soil and Water Conservation Commission. The Please see LANDOWNER | 3A

3 congregations celebrate together

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Thursday will not just be another day for a trio of local congregations.

First United Methodist Church, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and Mt. Moriah United Methodist Church will celebrate Maundy Thursday of Passion Week with a 6 p.m. service at FUMC. “I am excited about Maundy Thursday this year because we have expanded our service by inviting Mt. Moriah and Rev. James Dye to participate,” said FUMC Rev. Roger Shock. “Rev. Ann Fraser will be sharing the sermon this year and I always look forward to her words of inspiration.”

First Methodist and St. Paul’s have combined for the celebration the last five years. Mt. Moriah is part of the event for

a first time this year as the church’s observe Jesus’ celebration of the Passover with His disciples.

“We are even talking about having the service next year at Mt. Moriah United Methodist Church,” said Shock.

Rev. Fraser also preached the service when the two churches partnered in 2011. She and retired FUMC minister Dr. Prentiss “Bud” Gordon planned the first combined service which was held at First Methodist.

“It’s been fun for our congregations to get to know one another over time … we’ve done a Lessons and Carols service with First Methodist in December for several years too,” said Rev. Fraser. “It also means a lot to begin to get to know Mt. Please see SERVICE | 3A

Today in History Today is Wednesday, April 1, the 91st day of 2015. There are 274 days left in the year. This is April Fool’s Day.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 1, 1945, American forces launched the amphibious invasion of Okinawa during World War II. (U.S. forces succeeded in capturing the Japanese island on June 22.)

On this date: In 1789, the U.S. House of Representatives held its first full meeting in New York; Frederick Muhlenberg of Pennsylvania was elected the first House speaker.

In 1865, during the Civil War, Union forces led by Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan routed Confederate soldiers under the command of Maj. Gen. George Pickett in the Battle of Five Forks in Virginia.

In 1924, Adolf Hitler was sentenced to five years in prison for his role in the Beer Hall Putsch in Munich. (Hitler was released in Dec. 1924; during his time behind bars, he wrote his autobiographical screed, “Mein Kampf.”)

In 1933, Nazi Germany staged a daylong national boycott of Jewishowned businesses.

In 1970, President Richard M. Nixon signed a measure banning cigarette advertising on radio and television, to take effect after Jan. 1, 1971.

In 1972, the first Major League Baseball players’ strike began; it lasted 12 days.

In 1975, with Khmer Rouge guerrillas closing in, Cambodian President Lon Nol resigned and fled into exile, spending the rest of his life in the United States.

One year ago: Mocking his critics, President Barack Obama boasted that 7.1 million people had signed up for his health care law, and said “the debate over repealing this law is over.”

commission was organized to assist local soil and water conservation districts with programs to help local farmers improve and protect soil and water quality in their respective counties.

“I know this work will have a positive environmental impact to Tarebreeches Creek which is good because I grew up along the creek and want to see it protected for future generations,” said Rainey.

The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality has been monitoring this watershed’s water quality for the past three years to obtain levels of fecal coliform, nitrates and phosphates and sediment. This watershed was impaired enough for the agency to approve this watershed for funding installation of best management practices.

JACKSON — A bill headed to Gov. Phil Bryant’s desk would establish a group to study whether Mississippi should modify or walk away from Common Core academic standards.

The House and Senate on Tuesday both passed the final version of Senate Bill 2161.

Bryant spokeswoman Nicole Webb said the governor will review the bill before deciding whether to sign it into law. If he signs it, a 15-member commission would make recommendations about academic standards to the state Board of Education by December.

The recommendations could be anything from minor additions, such as requiring that schools teach cursive writing, to a major overhaul, Senate Education Committee Chairman Gray Tollison, R-Oxford, said during a Senate debate Tuesday.

Mississippi has spent millions of dollars implementing Common Core, which

seeks to teach students to think more analytically. The state Department of Education, however, does not use the Common Core label.

Instead, it refers to Mississippi College and Career Ready Standards.

Supporters of Common Core see it as a way to increase academic achievement, but conservative opponents, including Republican Bryant, say they fear Common Core could lead to too much federal intervention in Mississippi schools.

Sen. David Jordan, DGreenwood, said Mississippi has consistently struggled to pull itself up from the bottom of national education rankings. He questioned the wisdom of moving away from Common Core without giving it a chance to show long-term results.

“I want some standards that will lift us,” Jordan said.

Sen. Chris McDaniel, REllisville, said he wants to repeal Common Core but he doesn’t believe a commission will recommend doing that.

Both Fraser and Gordon presided over communion the first year, using the Methodist order of service. Honoring the traditions of each church, both grape juice and wine were used for communion in chalices of different colors easy to identify for those with a preference.

The following year, the Maundy Thursday or “Holy Thursday” service was held at St. Paul’s with Dr. Gordon preaching.

Both ministers served communion using the Eucharist rite from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer. The joint services have continued annually, alternating between churches.

Following the lead of their national churches, the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi and the United Methodist Conference of Mississippi created a “Covenant for Common Life,” signed in 2009 by former Mississippi Conference bishop Hope Morgan Ward and Duncan M. Gray III, retired bishop of the Diocese of Mississippi.

The covenant, designed “to foster the development of common Christian life between (the) two churches,” asked Episcopal and Methodist congregations to form partnerships in their towns and attend worship with one another at least once a year.

“Methodists and Episcopalians share lots in common, in fact, most Christians have more in common than not,” said Rev. Fraser. “Music is one of the loveliest ways

Some Christian churches observe a special communion service on Maundy Thursday in memory of Jesus’ Last Supper with His disciples.

The word Maundy is derived from the Latin word for “command.”

Corinth, Miss.

A diplomatic revolution The socialist government in France usually doesn’t have much in common with congressional Republicans, for whom both France and socialism tend to be anathema.

But the French, according to a Rich Wall Street Journal report, are Lowry taking the toughest line among the powers negotiating with National Review Iran over its nuclear program and are alarmed by the Obama administration’s accommodating approach.

“Some U.S. officials,” the Journal writes, “privately believe France is seeking in part to maintain strong ties to Israel and to Arab countries deeply skeptical of Washington’s outreach to Tehran.”

When the Quai d’Orsay is more concerned than Foggy Bottom with maintaining warm ties to Israel, it is a sign of a world turned upside down.

Consider the bizarre confluence of the perhaps-imminent Iran agreement with the administration’s apoplexy over Bibi Netanyahu’s re-election in Israel. The Iran deal will nullify the half-dozen U.N. resolutions calling on Iran to halt all uranium enrichment, at the same time the administration is floating the idea of going along with a new effort to isolate Israel at the U.N., in effect for the offense of re-electing Bibi Netanyahu.

There are barely words for the perversity of this turnabout. It would be a step toward normalizing a rogue state and making a rogue state out of a normal country. It would be a rapprochement with a sworn enemy and a breach with a tried-and-true friend. It would be a diplomatic revolution in keeping with President Barack Obama’s purported realism that has little regard for either our deepestheld values or coldblooded interests.

In a Huffington Post interview, President Obama warned that the Israeli-Palestinian status quo is “not a recipe for stability in the region.” What stability? The Israeli-Palestinian conflict manifestly has nothing to do with the collapse of Syria into a catastrophic civil war, or with ISIS establishing control over a swath of territory in Iraq and Syria, or Yemen descending into chaos.

Israel holds free-and-fair elections in which Arabs can freely vote, even if Netanyahu made an ill-advised election-day comment about them turning out in droves; in country after country, Sunni and Shia forces kill and maim one another in a vicious fight for dominance by force. Israel builds settlements (mostly in areas that will stay part of Israel in any peace deal); Bashar al-Assad drops cluster bombs on people, and has reportedly returned to using chemical weapons.

It doesn’t take great discernment to see the differences. It takes only a modicum of perspective, which President Obama can’t muster as he sets about engineering a rupture with our only democratic ally in the Middle East.

Obama is often accused of amateurism and drift in his foreign policy. In a compelling essay in the online publication Mosaic, Michael Doran argues that this is unfair. The president has always had a strategic vision, with an opening to Iran at its heart.

This explains, Doran contends, the president’s muted response to the 2009 democratic protests in Iran; his willingness to allow Iran to take a large hand in the Syrian civil war and hesitance to arm and train moderate Syrian rebels; his gift of sanctions relief to the Iranians, as well as major concessions in the ongoing negotiations; and his accommodation of a heavy military role for Iran in the fight against ISIS in Iraq.

The public campaign against the leader of Israel fits with the overall scheme. “In making his personal rift with Netanyahu the subject of intense public debate,” Doran notes, “the White House means to direct attention away from the strategic rift between them – and from the fact that the entire Israeli elite, regardless of political orientation, as well as much of the U.S. Congress, regards the president’s conciliatory approach to Iran as profoundly misguided.”

It is a testament to the folly and radicalism of this project that even the French have misgivings.

Gentry liberals have increasing clout Rahm Emanuel heads into a runoff April 7 in his bid for a second term as mayor of Chicago. He’s the favorite going in, having won 46 percent in the Feb. 24 first round against longtime local officeholder Chuy Garcia’s 34 percent and topping 50 percent in recent polls.

Emanuel, President Obama’s first White House chief of staff and architect of the Democrats’ 2006 takeover of the House, is politically astute, energetic and profane. Given all that, it’s surprising that his support is down from the 55 percent he won in the first round in February 2011.

And it’s interesting that his strongest support comes from gentry liberals: highincome, high-education whites. In February, he won absolute majorities in only eight of Chicago’s 50 wards, six on the Lakefront running north from the Loop almost to the city limits and two just inland.

This comes 50 years after gentry liberals first emerged as a key electoral bloc in big city elections, with the election of then-Republican John Lindsay as mayor of New York in 1965.

This was something new.

Nathan Glazer and Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s 1963 study of New York’s voting blocs, “Beyond the Melt-

ing Pot,” has chapters on Irish, Italians, Jews, blacks and Puerto Ricans – but nothing on Michael gentry liberBarone als. James Q. Wilson’s Columnist pioneering study of Manhattan’s reform movement, “The Amateur Democrat,” came out in 1966, just after Lindsay won.

Before the mid-1960s, gentry liberals were, like Lindsay, Republicans – liberal on civil rights, internationalist rather than isolationist on foreign policy, willing to accept the New Deal but suspicious of labor unions and big city political machines.

Lindsay constructed a new coalition of gentry liberals and blacks, setting up a police civilian review board and claiming credit for preventing a riot in Harlem. He showed disdain for ethnic and middle-class whites.

Lindsay’s policies played a major part in a negative national trend, as crime and welfare dependency roughly tripled in the 196575 decade, and New York City teetered on the brink of bankruptcy. Other cities with fewer strengths went into death spirals, like my

native Detroit.

The gentry liberal-black alliance later split up in New York, as gentry liberals supported and blacks opposed the brilliantly successful crime-fighting policies of Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg. The city felt free to elect the far-left Bill de Blasio in 2013, but turnout was lower than in any city election since 1929, and de Blasio hired Giuliani’s first police commissioner.

Chicago took a different course. Richard J. Daley, mayor from 1955 to 1976, juggled different ethnic groups, winning with black votes against Polish challengers early on and with majorities from all-white “bungalow wards” against candidates supported by blacks and gentry liberals later.

In 1983, Congressman Harold Washington beat his son, Richard M. Daley, with a coalition of blacks and gentry liberals. But after Washington’s death, Daley was elected in 1989.

His base was the bungalow wards, and he reached out shrewdly to Hispanics and gentry liberals. In 1992, I asked Bill Daley what his father would have thought of his brother marching in the gay rights parade. “Our father,” he said, “always said that if a group was big

enough to control a ward you should pay attention to them.”

Today the balance has changed.

Gentry-liberal Chicago is expanding inward from Lake Michigan.

Only four white-majority bungalow wards are left in the northwest. The black population is not growing, as blacks head to the southern suburbs and to Atlanta.

The Hispanic vote, growing toward its potential of onethird of the electorate, is Chuy Garcia’s political base.

Rahm Emanuel is scrambling for votes in bungalow and black wards that went for third and fourth candidates in February and will probably get enough to win. That’s important for Chicago, but not so significant for the nation, because the central city electorate is contracting. The number on Richard J. Daley’s license plate was 708,222 – the number of votes he got in April 1955. In February 2015, Rahm Emanuel got 218,217.

Yew deserved international reputation It is not often that the leader of a small city-state – in this case, Singapore – gets an international reputation. But no one deserved it more than Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of Singapore as an independent country in 1959, and its prime minister from 1959 to 1990. With his death, he leaves behind a legacy valuable not only to Singapore but to the world.

Born in Singapore in 1923, when it was a British colony, Lee Kuan Yew studied at Cambridge University after World War II, and was much impressed by the orderly, law-abiding England of that day. It was a great contrast with the povertystricken and crime-ridden Singapore of that era.

Today Singapore has a per capita Gross Domestic Product more than 50 percent higher than that of the United Kingdom and a crime rate a small fraction of that in England. A 2010 study showed more patents and patent applications from the small city-state of Singapore than from Russia. Few places in the world can match Singapore for cleanliness and orderliness.

formation of Singapore took place under the authoritarian rule of Lee Kuan Yew for Thomas two decades Sowell as prime minister. And it Columnist happened despite some very serious handicaps that led to chaos and self-destruction in other countries.

Singapore had little in the way of natural resources. It even had to import drinking water from neighboring Malaysia. Its population consisted of people of different races, languages and religions – the Chinese majority and the sizable Malay and Indian minorities.

At a time when other Third World countries were setting up government-controlled economies and blaming their poverty on “exploitation” by more advanced industrial nations, Lee Kuan Yew promoted a market economy, welcomed foreign investments, and made Singapore’s children learn English, to maximize the benefits from Singapore’s position as a major port for

international commerce.

Singapore’s schools also taught the separate native languages of its Chinese, Malay and Indian Tamil peoples. But everyone had to learn English, because it was the language of international commerce.

In short, Lee Kuan Yew was pragmatic, rather than ideological. Many observers saw a contradiction between Singapore’s free markets and its lack of democracy. But its long-serving prime minister did not deem its people ready for democracy. Instead, he offered a decent government with much less corruption than in other countries in that region of the world.

His example was especially striking in view of many in the West who seem to think that democracy is something that can be exported to countries whose history and traditions are wholly different from those of Western nations that evolved democratic institutions over the centuries.

Democracy has prerequisites, and peoples and places without those prerequisites will not necessarily do well when democratic

institutions are created.

The most painful recent example of that is Iraq, where a democratically elected government, set up by expenditure of the blood and treasure of the United States, became one of the obstacles to a united people with the military strength to protect itself from terrorists.

In many parts of the Third World, post-colonial governments set up democratically made sure that there would be no more democracy that could replace its original leaders. This led to the cynical phrase, “one man, one vote – one time.”

Democracy can be wonderful as a principle where it is viable, but disastrous as a fetish where it is not.

Lee Kuan Yew understood the pitfalls and steered around them. If our Western advocates of “nationbuilding” in other countries would learn that lesson, it could be the most valuable legacy of Lee Kuan Yew.

In a statement, Comedy Central defended Noah as a “provocative” comedian who “spares no one, himself included.”

Governor seeking change to new law INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said Tuesday that he wants legislation on his desk by the end of the week to clarify that the state’s new religiousfreedom law does not allow discrimination against gays and lesbians.

Pence defended the measure as a vehicle to protect religious liberty but said he has been meeting with lawmakers “around the clock” to address concerns that it would allow businesses to deny services to gay customers.

The governor said he does not believe “for a minute” that lawmakers intended “to create a license to discriminate.”

First lady asks kids to send lunch ideas WASHINGTON — Know any kids with a knack for making healthy lunches? Michelle Obama might invite them to the White House.

The first lady once again is challenging the nation’s children to dream up healthy lunch recipes, a now annual component of her Let’s Move! campaign to reduce childhood obesity through diet and exercise.

The Healthy Lunchtime Challenge — run in conjunction with public television station WGBH Boston and the federal departments of Agriculture and Education — invites 8- to 12-yearolds to submit original recipes for healthy and affordable lunches. Winners from each state and U.S. territory will be flown to Washington this summer for a “state dinner” for kids at the White House.

Comedy Central defends new host NEW YORK — A day after Trevor Noah was declared the new host of “The Daily Show,” his graphic tweets targeting women and Jews are causing a social media backlash and Comedy Central is defending its newest late-night star.

By Tuesday, Trevor Noah was a trending topic on Twitter as he drew fire for jokes described as tasteless, hateful — and unfunny.

Roseanne Barr was among those calling out the 31-year-old South African comic, who has an international following and two million Twitter followers.

“U should cease sexist & anti semitic ‘humor’ about jewish

Students with loans go on debt strike WASHINGTON — Sarah Dieffenbacher is on a debt strike. She’s refusing to make payments on the more than $100,000 in federal and private loans she says she owes for studies at a for-profit college that she now

Across the State

considers so worthless she doesn’t include it on her resume.

The “debt strike” sentiment is catching on.

Calling themselves the “Corinthian 100” — named for the troubled Corinthian Colleges, Inc., which operated Everest College, Heald College and WyoTech before agreeing last summer to sell or close its 100-plus campuses — about 100 current and former students are refusing to pay back their loans, according to the Debt Collective group behind the strike.

Schock’s staff faces tough prosecutor WASHINGTON — Some of Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock’s current and previous employees will appear before a federal grand jury next month to answer questions about their old boss. When they do, they’ll likely face a prosecutor with a tough, meticulous reputation.

Timothy Bass, a 20year veteran prosecutor who’s involved in the investigation, is known for combing through every detail of his cases.

He’s prosecuted drug and gun crimes, money laundering, tax evasion, child pornography, exploitation and corruption cases.

The government has been looking into Schock’s House office expenses, his re-election campaign spending and his relationships with long-time political donors. The Justice Department issued subpoenas as part of this investigation.

Prisons chief would get employee power JACKSON — Lawmakers are moving toward giving Corrections Commissioner Marshall Fisher the power to reorganize his department and fire any employees without regard to civil service protections for one year beginning July 1 Senate Bill 2804 raised objections in the House, passing Tuesday by a relatively tight vote of 6257. If senators pass the conference report as expected, the bill will move to Gov. Phil Bryant for his consideration.

House and Senate negotiators stripped out earlier House-passed provisions that would have limited Fisher’s power to only 100 central office employees and would have forced the department to pay guards overtime instead of using compensatory time.

Bryant plans to sign hospital meeting bill JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant says he intends to sign a bill designed to bring more transparency to the way publicly owned hospitals are run.

Bryant spoke Tuesday to more than three dozen people who traveled to the state Capitol to push the bill because of concerns about pension losses at Singing River Hospital in Jackson County.

The House passed the final version of Senate Bill 2407 on Tuesday, and the Senate was expected to do the same.

The bill would require

boards of publicly run hospitals to keep most of their meetings open to the public. Boards could close meetings to discuss employment contracts for physicians or other hospital workers.

They could also close meetings to discuss competitive business matters and patient information.

Special education voucher advances JACKSON — A bill to create school vouchers for a small percentage of special-education students is headed to Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, who plans to sign it.

The Senate passed the final version of Senate Bill 2695 last week, but it was held for the possibility of more debate.

Senators removed the procedural hold Tuesday without further discussion.

The bill would create $6,500-a-year vouchers for up to 500 specialeducation students the

first year. The program would increase by 500 a year until it reaches 2,500 students. Money could go toward private school tuition, tutoring or therapy related to education.

State back in court over prison violence JACKSON — The American Civil Liberties Union and others will argue at a federal court hearing Wednesday that the Mississippi Department of Corrections fails to protect prisoners at the privately run Walnut Grove Correctional Facility despite promising three years ago to reduce the facility’s violent atmosphere.

The Clarion-Ledger reports U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves will hear testimony from prisoners, a corrections expert and the corporate vice president of Utah-based Management and Training Corp., which has a contract to run the prison.

Ferrell movie doesn’t make the cut Get Hard, R, *1⁄2 Stars.

Will Farrell, Kevin Hart, Craig T. Nelson, Alison Brie. Director Ethan Cohen. Warner Brothers.

Length 100 minutes.

The star and one-half star seems to be as high as I could go with this movie. I just could not give the movie a very high rating.

However, Darnel (Kevin Hart) brought home the bacon with some belly laughing out loud performances. His unusual way to deliver his lines was hilarious.

The reason for the title will be explained in the next few paragraphs.

Mart (Craig T. Nelson) is the boss of a trading company that is very successful. James King (Will Farrell) makes tons of money. He is arrogant and disgusting. James dates Alissa (Alison Brie) who is Martin’s daughter.

James walks around in his large house in his

birthday suit. The s c e n e s were very disgusting. James has a lot of Terry yard workBurns ers outside, and they Movie Critic have the repulsive situation to watch this nauseating crazy person.

Martin tells James that he is going to be arrested for fraud, and he will be going to San Quentin.

However, Martin tells James not to worry. It will work out. However, it does not appear to be working.

So James talks to a young man by the name of Darnell (Kevin Hart) who cleans his car, and unfortunately James does not pay Darnell much money. He asks Darnell about helping him to get strong and tough in order to survive in San Quentin.

He thinks that Darnell

has been in prison. In order to make some money, Darnell goes along with the project.

Darnell made me laugh many times. He really saved the movie from having too much over the top dirty scenes. His character made the movie very comical.

The movie had scenes I thought unnecessary. It had portions that in my opinion could be left out.

A lot of the scenes were just uncalled for.

As the time gets closer for James to take his medicine in San Quentin, the movie tightens up, and he discovers something that might keep him out of prison, but it is a dangerous move for James and Darnell.

As the movie progresses, the audience meets a lot of tough hombres that terrified James and Darnell, and they had reason to be scared. These guys meant business.

I like to use the term

that was used a long time ago. The term was we are going to a “Moving Picture Show” or the Drive-In. Not many Drive-Ins left.

I just used the above paragraph in case some have never heard of the above or others haven’t heard them in a long time. I would say that in those days, movies like today would not be seen in a lot of theaters.

The point is — if the reader goes to see the movie, this day and time, it will not be seen by anyone, but those in the theater. I will say this, Kevin Hart was my favorite character. He made me laugh many times, and his acting was terrific.

I will be looking forward to watching Kevin again. His timing with comedy was terrific. My laughter was mostly belly laughs which means very funny. Thanks to Kevin.

WASHINGTON — The United States pledged Tuesday to cut its greenhouse gas emissions up to 28 percent as its contribution to a global treaty aimed at preventing the worst effects of climate change.

The Obama administration’s contribution to the treaty, which world leaders expect to finalize in December, codifies a commitment President Barack Obama first made late last year in Beijing, when he announced a joint U.S.China climate deal that raised global hopes that developed and developing nations can come together to fight climate change.

Enjoy!

dren, and he promises we’ll get married soon -- right after the next tournament.

I know you get lots of letters about bad relationships, so I thought I’d let you hear about a good one. -- GATOR GIRL IN FLORIDA DEAR GATOR GIRL: That’s a good one, all right. You may have thought you smelled perfume, but I smell a rat.

Be glad your boyfriend doesn’t wrestle cougars because I hear they wear indelible lipstick.

DEAR ABBY: I’m writing to brag about my boyfriend. He’s a semi-professional alligator wrestler and super brave. It’s a tough job and it takes him away from home a lot. It’s also a very dangerous job.

He often comes home with bite marks all over his neck and shoulders, and scratches on his back.

Want to know something weird about alligators?

Their natural odor smells a lot like perfume. When my beau gets back from a tournament, he often reeks of it.

The first time I smelled it on him, I was worried.

But after he explained it to me, it made perfect sense.

(Just another one of life’s coincidences, I guess.)

We’re so happy together.

We have four beautiful chil-

DEAR ABBY: A teacher at our high school took some time off to get a breast augmentation.

Before she left, she told the class she was having her tonsils out.

When she returned to the classroom with a larger chest, one of the students cracked, “Nice tonsils!” Of course, the class roared. What do you think about this? -- GEORGE IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR GEORGE: I think that unless her students pay more attention to what she’s teaching and less to her chest, they may be earning double D’s.

And now ... back to work: DEAR ABBY: When does an extramarital affair actually start? Is it when the two parties involved do the mattress mambo, their first kiss, or is it sooner? -- CLUELESS WIFE

Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

IN CANADA DEAR CLUELESS: A love affair involves more than having sex.

An extramarital affair begins as soon as a man or woman starts sneaking around and lying to his or her mate.

DEAR ABBY: Please settle an argument my ex-husband and I still have.

Over the course of our marriage, we had problems.

One night we had a nasty spat, after which he moved out and never returned.

He claims I should have asked him to move back in.

My response has always been that he chose to leave, so I shouldn’t have had to beg him to come back.

Your opinion, please? -WONDERING IN CRYSTAL LAKE, ILL. DEAR WONDERING: In my opinion, you and your exhusband should stop arguing because after your divorce became final, the question became moot.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). A social situation is overwrought with complications. Lately it’s getting harder and harder to choose the right words to say.

A wise man once said nothing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’re no marionette controlled by the hand of fate. You move freely where you want to go.

Then again, every once in a while you ask for a lift, and sometimes (like now) the asking makes it happen.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’ll look back and wonder whether you made the right decision. It was the decision that, at the time, had to be made. You would do it again were you back there. Don’t let the pretty colors of nostalgia change your view.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Items, habits and thoughts that you carry along with you have a way of becoming who you are.

This is your chance to emotionally strip down and choose carefully what you want to put back on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your

instincts are like knives: They need to be sharpened by rubbing them against the ridged steel or, in today’s case, the tricky problem. Solving this one will help you cut to the chase later in the week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Glamour creates attraction, attraction creates opportunities, and opportunities create income. That’s why you’ll take the time to gloss up a presentation until it’s slick.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you don’t quite know what you want today, at least you know what you don’t want. You’ll witness a person in a state of being that you do not wish to have as your own, and this will inspire your behavior.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Lift the stipulations, amend the rules, knock out the obstacles that limit the ways in which you allow yourself to experience happiness. Decide to be happy no matter what happens, and you will be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21). Don’t leave the bad feelings trapped inside of you, or they’ll fester and spoil your internal system. A pinprick of acknowledgement may be all that’s necessary to let out the tension.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re a sincere person, and you respond to others who share this quality. You also have an internal alarm that goes off when you hear stories or marketing pitches that don’t add up.

Listen to and save the information.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Money might not be the biggest thing at stake. It’s the life energy you put into making money that gives it the charge, and that is the true exchange in the purchase and sale of goods and services.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You can think of past instances when people have been kind to you who didn’t have to be, and it’s part of the reason you extend yourself with such a generous heart today.

GoDaddy goes public

Spotlight on construction

The auto industry has benefited this year from strong demand, despite snowstorms and other roadblocks.

Most automakers reported gains in February, when freezing temperatures, disruptions at West Coast ports and rising gas prices took a bite out of U.S. auto sales. Analysts anticipate that lost sales were made up in March as the weather warmed.

March auto sales are due out today.

Web hosting company GoDaddy is expected to make its market debut as a public company today.

The company, known for its racy Super Bowl commercials, hopes to raise as much as $418 million in an initial public offering. GoDaddy, which has posted losses the last three years, expects to list its stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol â&#x20AC;&#x153;GDDY.â&#x20AC;?

Economists anticipate that spending on residential and commercial construction held steady in February.

The latest report from the Commerce Department, due out today, follows a 1.1 percent decline in overall construction in January, when unusually severe weather in many parts of the country likely held back spending. Did the trend ease in February?

Hamlin takes advantage of a late penalty to snag win at Martinsville Nick Laham/Getty Images for NASCAR

“And knowing that [the fall Martinsville race] holds the key to that top four getting into Homestead, I like our chances.”

Hamlin also said he and his teammates got a good talking-to from the team owner prior to the STP 500.

“Joe raised his voice, which doesn’t happen very often, told us to get off our tails and go to work,” Hamlin said. “We all did it, [and it’s] a great result for this race team.

“Sometimes you need a leader like that to kind of put things in perspective.

Not that people weren’t working hard, but it just Denny Hamlin, holding his daughter, Taylor, receives a traditional takes that extra 10 percent out of everyone to get Martinsville trophy following Sunday’s Sprint Cup victory. to that next level.”

For Keselowski, a runner-up run at Martinsville was as much a relief as anything.

“It was a fun race,” he said. “That’s the best we’ve ever been here at Martinsville. Pumped about that, but a little disappointed I’m not taking home a clock. ...

“All in all, a really solid day, a fun day, and just one spot short.”

Martin Truex Jr. overcame early issues with his car’s power steering to finish sixth, his sixth finish of eighth or better to start the season, a career-best start.

And Danica Patrick finished seventh, putting her in a tie with the retired Janet Guthrie for most career top-10 finishes among female drivers in Cup. Both have five.

“Basically, what the doctors say is that they really don’t know,” he said, adding that what is known is the support the Gibbs family has received from the NASCAR community since the news broke.

“We’ve got so many different things and people praying for us right now; it’s real encouragement for us,” he said.

Gibbs said that he and his other son, Coy, are planning to increase their involvement with the NASCAR team.

Denny Hamlin approaches the finish in the STP 500 on Sunday at Martinsville Speedway.

J.D. Gibbs will limit work schedule amid health concerns J.D. Gibbs, president of Joe Gibbs Racing, has begun treatment for symptoms involving areas of brain function including speech and processing information.

The race team founded by his father, Joe Gibbs, made the announcement last week, and said that J.D. Gibbs will continue with many of his day-to-day duties at the Huntersville, North Carolina, race shop but that his presence at race tracks would be limited.

The announcement also said that doctors believe Gibbs’ illness is caused by head injuries suffered earlier in his life. He has been active in several sports including football, auto racing, mountain biking and snowboarding.

J.D. Gibbs is one of the more visible and accessible owners in the NASCAR garage, and the announcement brought statements of support from people like Gibbs’ one-time driver Tony Stewart and from NASCAR chairman Brian France.

Stewart posted the following on his Twitter account: “Hoping the best for J.D. Gibbs and the entire Gibbs family. Such a huge honor to drive and learn from a great family.”

“We’ve all watched J.D. grow up within our community, and he

NASCAR teams struggle to keep their drivers out on the race track So far this Sprint Cup season, there have been an unusually high number of drivers missing races for one reason or another. Kyle Busch has missed all of the points-paying races because of injuries suffered in a crash Kyle Larson during the Xfinity Series race at Daytona International Speedway. His brother, Kurt Busch, missed three while suspended due to his involvement in a domestic violence case in Delaware. Brian Vickers has missed four so far due to health issues related to a heart operation and then blood clots.

And Kyle Larson had to sit out Sunday’s race at Martinsville Speedway after fainting during an autograph session the day before.

Larson was treated at a local hospital, then flown to Charlotte, N.C., for further tests. Regan Smith, who filled in for Kurt Busch for three races, got the call again at Martinsville and drove Larson’s No. 42 Chevrolet to a 16th-place finish at a track he acknowledges is not one of his best.

“The race car was fast,” Smith said.

“When they called on this, I was like, ‘Man, why does it have to be Martinsville?’”

“But it was fun to drive it all day long.

[Crew chief] Chris [Heroy] and the guys, they worked hard with me, and obviously no two drivers are alike, so I was trying to do a few things a little different.

“We just dug all day.”

Martinsville Speedway, the paper-clip-shaped half-mile oval, doesn’t look like the kind of track that separates the great drivers from those who are simply good. But over the years, it’s worked out that way in a lot of instances.

NASCAR’s all-time win leader, Richard Petty, leads all drivers in Sprint Cup victories at Martinsville with 15. Fellow Hall of Famer Darrell Waltrip is next with 11. Rusty Wallace, also a NASCAR Hall of Fame member, has seven, while three other Hall of Fame inductees, Cale Yarborough, Fred Lorenzen and the late Dale Earnhardt, have six apiece.

Among active drivers, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson are out front in Martinsville wins with eight apiece.

But there’s another driver, Denny Hamlin, who’s running up Martinsville wins. His victory in Sunday’s STP 500 was his fifth at the speedway, which puts him ninth on the all-time Martinsville list. It also ties him with the late Joe Weatherly for most Cup wins by a Virginia native as both now have 25.

Like many a Martinsville victory by Hamlin and others, Sunday’s triumph came because he overcame adversity early in the race and put himself in position to capitalize when his chief competitors stumbled.

On Sunday, Jeff Gordon appeared poised to take home yet another of Martinsville’s signature grandfather clock trophies, but while leading the race with just under 40 laps to go, he was penalized for speeding on pit road on his final stop and had to start the final run to the checkered flag from 20th place.

Hamlin, on the other hand, had things go his way for a change. He came back from a similar penalty, for an uncontrolled tire on a pit stop at Lap 166, to hold off a charging Brad Keselowski and record his Joe Gibbs Racing team’s first Cup win in nearly a year, and the first in the same span for Toyota.

“It wasn’t scripted by any means, all the adversity we had to go through,” Hamlin said. “But really, the last 60, 70 laps played out how they needed to play out for us to win today.”

Keselowski, never before considered one of the drivers to beat at Martinsville, gave Hamlin a bump off Turn Four on the final lap, but Hamlin continued on to win, with Keselowski finishing second over his teammate and polesitter Joey Logano, Matt Kenseth and David Ragan.

Hamlin said he was relieved to break his losing streak, which started just after his win at Talladega Superspeedway last spring.

“We’re just not used to not having success, and especially with the resources that we have,” he said. “[Team owner Joe Gibbs] expects a lot from us and we expect to be in victory lane and be up front.”

The victory also assures Hamlin of a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, a fact that wasn’t lost on him in his post-race interviews.

“Even though it doesn’t cure things, it makes things better,” he said of the victory. “We’ve got some kinks in our team right now, but this buys you months of time to get everything worked out and get all the kinks worked out because we know we can go on a championship run.

NASCAR drivers, crew chiefs pushing for new tire standards NUMERICALLY and probably in [the media center] – that we need bleeder valves. We just do.

“I came from sprint cars where they’re built into the wheel. You set them. They may not be advanced enough for what we need in a Cup car and Cup tire, but it just makes sense.”

Gordon said it’s “crazy” the way teams now deal with increases in air pressure during a race.

“These big heavy cars build the air pressures up so much that we’re always trying to start them real low, which causes issues for Goodyear and the teams,” he said. “Then they just increase, increase, increase. So it makes sense to me that we should have bleeder valves.

“But because we don’t, it’s pushing the teams to do things.”

Gordon said he has no proof that teams are tinkering with tires, but he also pointed out that as the old saying goes: Where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.

“When it gets to this level and when you’re hearing about it and I’m hearing about it and they are talking about things in meetings with crew chiefs - that tells me that it’s being done,” he said. “It’s just not clear on how it’s being done.”

Gordon’s crew chief Alan Gustafson said that if teams are cheating on tires, a big penalty will be imposed if they’re caught.

“Obviously NASCAR is trying to make sure that we are all on a level playing field and if anybody is violating that they will

In NASCAR, there are three areas in which officials simply won’t tolerate any serious tinkering — engines, fuel and tires.

Crew chiefs were reminded about the “Big Three” in a meeting at Martinsville Speedway, and the warning came after persistent rumors that some teams were drilling tiny holes in the tires to slowly bleed off air. That would allow the tire pressure to be constant throughout a run instead of increasing due to the heat generated.

Constant tire pressure should make the car’s handling more consistent.

The talk ratcheted up after tires were taken from some race teams after races at Phoenix International Raceway and Auto Club Speedway and sent to a third-party laboratory for evaluation.

In most asphalt short track series, “bleeder” valves are used to keep tire pressure at a pre-set level. Fans and others often hear tires make a whistling sound after races as the bleeders do their jobs.

Since the bleeders aren’t allowed in NASCAR, teams typically start a run with really low air pressure in the tires, knowing that as the tires heat up the pressure also will rise.

Jeff Gordon, in his regular session with the media at Martinsville Speedway, said he’d like to see the bleeder valves allowed in the major NASCAR series.

“I think a lot of us have speculated for years about different ways to bleed air from tires,” he said. “I’ve been saying for years –

Carl Edwards’ No. 19 Arris car takes on fresh tires during Sunday’s race at Martinsville Speedway. pay the price, which they reminded us [Friday] morning is very stiff,” he said. “That is all I know. Anything beyond that is speculation besides the fact it is a hot topic.”

Gustafson agreed with Gordon and others that allowing bleeders would be a good idea, and it also would have the benefit of improving the durability of the tires as they would be run on the optimum tire pressure throughout a run instead of starting out too low and ending up too high.

“I think it is a valid point and it is something that they can look at for sure to see if it would improve our sport, not only for tire durability, but for fairness of competition,” he said, adding that bleeders weren’t mentioned at the crew chiefs meeting at Martinsville.

Central clubs sweep second meet

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn Central expanded it’s lead on the track on one end, and rallied on the other.

Both Alcorn Central track club remained unbeaten on the season, sweeping the Alcorn Central Invitational’s seven-team meet at Tishomingo High School.

“This was a more competitive meet than our opening meet a week before,” said Central Coach Bobby Purvis. “There were a number of teams with some good times

and marks, especially considering the weather caused a slow start to this season.”

Central participated in its third meet on Tuesday, before weather forced a postponement before the completion of the running events.

Corinth finished second on both sides, with Kossuth earning a third-place finish in girls. The Aggies finished sixth, just 16 points of the pace of co-host Tishomingo County.

It’s believed to be the first ever Central sweep of Corinth

in track. It was also the Bears first win over the Warriors since 1975.

• The Lady Bears (13-0) finished with a 188-123 edge over the Lady Warriors. Central led 73-42 after the field events and 3200 run, and added 34 points to its lead by compiling 115 on the track.

The AC girls won nine events, including two of the three relays. Mallory Wigginton (high hurdles, 300 hurdles) and Ashlee Manahan (800, 1600) won two individual event titles.

Taylor Derrick claimed another with a school-record 9-0 showing in the pole vault.

• The Bears (13-0) trailed by 30 after the field events before a 71-point advantage in the running session propelled them to a 161-120 advantage over runner-up Corinth.

The Central boys won six events, including the 4 x 400 relay.

Brandon Turner won both hurdle events and Samuel Holley claimed the 800 and 1600 runs to pace the unbeaten club’s efforts.

Trio falls in league action

One night after claiming a 4-0 win on the road, Pontotoc got even with the local Warriors.

Pontotoc hung a six-spot in the fourth en route to a 9-1 win Friday at Jesse Bynum Field.

Corinth dropped to 5-6 overall after splitting the home-and-home series.

It was the local natives first Division 1-4A loss in four games after sweeping Shannon last week.

CHS managed just three hits, highlighted by Quade Reaves two-bagger.

Kyle Crigger took the loss, with Kerrigan Maness throwing the final 3.1 innings.

• At Alcorn Central, Belmont struck for five runs in the seventh after lightening had delayed the return match between the Bears and Cardinals in the bottom of the fifth.

The Cardinals swept the home-andhome series and remained unbeaten in Division 1-3A play.

Belmont jumped out with two runs in the top of the first before AC starter Colton Howell settled in a threw up zeros before giving way to lefty Dylan Nelson.

Central tallied one in its first at-bat and the score remained 2-1 until the Bears (7-5-1, 1-3) tied it in the fifth before the weather delay.

Belmont (9-2, 4-0) broke the game open with a five-run seventh.

Seniors Jake Harrison and Riley Mask paced Central with two hits each.

• In other 1-3A play, Booneville edged Kossuth 5-4. The Aggies dropped to 6-7 overall and 2-2 in league play.

Kentucky’s platoon now a 9-man rotation The Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Calipari’s platoon system has given way to a nine-man rotation that gives the Kentucky coach plenty of combinations.

Who plays and how long hasn’t mattered to the topranked Wildcats.

Platooning has been replaced by the immediate challenge of winning the school’s ninth championship and remaining undefeated along the way.

The egos that were checked early have remained on the shelf during the NCAA Tournament as Calipari has let the

flow of the game dictate his substitution strategy.

“That’s what makes him such a good coach,” reserve 7-footer Dakari Johnson said Tuesday of Calipari. “He knows what’s best for us. He’s going to do everything for the team to win. He’s going to put the guys in there that are going to battle and just compete.”

The challenge for Wisconsin at this weekend’s Final Four in Indianapolis is figuring out which combination they’ll face from Kentucky, which can play small, in halfcourt sets or up-tempo.

The Wildcats and Badgers met in last year’s Final Four with Kentucky advancing behind an exciting 74-73 victory. This Kentucky squad is even deeper.

Calipari began the season able to go 10-deep with his roster, so platooning gave him a way to give everyone enough minutes to be happy and win games. Rotating players in and out has just given him more options — and helped the Wildcats stay unbeaten at 38-0.

“We coach every player on this team like they’re a starter,” Calipari said. “There’s no

one coached — we don’t have subs. I’ve said that statement before. We have reinforcements. We’ve got them and you look up and there’s about 12 tanks coming over the hill. ... That’s what we’ve been doing.”

Kentucky played the season’s first few weeks with Calipari replacing his entire starting lineup after about five minutes into the game, sooner if he wasn’t getting the results or energy he wanted.

Calipari has also platooned against weaker schools, beginning both halves with the approach.

Tennessee hires former Texas coach Barnes The Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. —When he gave his farewell press conference after an unwanted exit from Texas, Rick Barnes predicted he’d be coaching again “quicker than you probably think.”

It turns out Barnes already had a pretty good idea where he’d end up. Barnes had begun talking to Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart about the Volunteers’ coaching vacancy Saturday, the day before his departure from Texas was announced. His move

from one shade of orange to another became official Tuesday when Barnes was introduced as Tennessee’s new men’s basketball coach.

“At that point in time, yes, it was something that had been discussed and it was something I truly wanted to see happen,” Barnes said.

Barnes succeeds Donnie Tyndall, who was fired Friday after going 16-16 in his lone season at Tennessee amid an NCAA investigation into his two-year tenure at Southern Mississippi. Barnes agreed to

terms on a six-year contract that will pay him $2.25 million annually.

The 60-year-old Barnes will be Tennessee’s fourth coach in six seasons, and the Volunteers are counting on him to provide stability. Barnes went 402-180 in 17 seasons at Texas, including a Final Four appearance in 2003.

He is 604-314 in 28 seasons overall with stops at George Mason, Providence and Clemson. Barnes has 22 NCAA Tournament appearances — two more than Ten-

nessee has made in its entire history. He has earned NCAA bids 19 of the last 20 seasons.

“We are very, very fortunate today to have hired an elite basketball coach,” Hart said.

“That’s what Rick Barnes is. He is definitely an elite coach.”

Hart’s admiration of Barnes was evident in Tennessee’s pursuit of him. Hart said he flew to Austin, Texas, on Sunday and accompanied Barnes on his trip to Knoxville shortly after that farewell press conference.

LSU sophomore Mickey says he’ll enter NBA draft The Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU sophomore forward Jordan Mickey, who led the nation with 3.65 blocks per game this season, has decided to forego his final two year with the Tigers and enter the NBA draft.

“This was a tough decision because I hate to leave my teammates and LSU family.

We have been through a lot in the past two years as we have grown as a team. “ Mickey

said in a statement released

by LSU on Tuesday. “After discussing my options with my family, I believe it is my time to move on and accept new challenges at the next level.”

The 6-foot-8 Mickey blocked 113 shots this season, with 107 blocks in 30 regular season games and six more in LSU’s opening-round NCAA tournament loss to North Carolina State.

Mickey, who’ll turn 21 in

July, averaged 15.4 points and 9.9 rebounds this season, but saw his production slip in the latter third of the season because of a left shoulder injury.

“I wanted things to end on a better note, but due to injuries I was limited in what I could do for my team,” Mickey said.

“Trust that I gave it my all.”

In his two seasons with the Tigers, the Dallas native blocked 219 shots, second most all-time by an LSU player, behind only Shaquille

O’Neal’s 412 blocks in three seasons from 1989-90 to 1991-92.

Mickey was the only player to block more than 100 shots in a season at LSU other than O’Neal. Mickey, named an All-Southeastern Conference first-team player in 2015, led the SEC in double-doubles with 16.

How to work with family on weddings WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My son lives in California and is going to marry a local girl in the fall. Our entire family lives in the Midwest. My husband and I, along with our daughter’s family, will attend. But I know it is far too expensive for any of my relatives to be there.

Should they receive invitations even though we know they can’t come? I don’t want it to seem like a gift grab. Do I have a “meet the bride and groom” party in our hometown after the wedding? What is the proper procedure?

I have another question, too. My husband and I are retired, but are giving our son and future daughterin-law a large sum of money to help with wedding costs. As the parents of the groom, we will pay for the rehearsal dinner, but what about the rest? What are our responsibilities when it comes to out-of-state guests? — Don’t Want To Get Another Job Dear Don’t Want: If these are close relatives, they probably would be hurt or offended to be excluded.

Please invite them.

They may wish to send a gift whether they attend or not. But you can skip more distant acquaintances, such as business associates or people you rarely contact. And should you decide to have an informal reception

Annie’s Mailbox of your own after the wedding, that would be lovely and much appreciated.

As for expenses, your son should be covering most of them without your assistance. These days, most couples split the costs, perhaps with help from their parents. Traditionally, the groom or his parents would be responsible for his attendants’ accommodations, along with the officiant’s fee and travel costs. Other out-of-town guests, however, are on their own. They should be given information about available hotels in the area, and you can supply a gift basket to each room so the guests have something to nibble on should they arrive too late to find an open restaurant.

(Some hosts provide a hospitality suite or include all out-of-towners at the rehearsal dinner, but this is optional and certainly not a requirement.)

Our congratulations on your upcoming special event.

Dear Annie: I want to respond to the letters you’ve printed about relationships between mothers-in-law and their son’s wives.

When I first married my husband, my MIL was great -- shopping, vacations and activities with the grandchildren. When her parents experienced health problems, I helped care for them, including trips to the ER in the middle of the night, checking in on them daily and managing their health care needs for 15 years. Meanwhile, my mother-in-law continued her traveling and active social life.

When her parents died, they left me an inheritance that ticked off my MIL. (Mind you, had she paid someone for the care I was giving, there would have been no money left.) My MIL never calls anymore, and I only see her on holidays, and she barely acknowledges me. She has given her daughter a trip to Europe and her other son a home makeover, but my husband receives nothing. I am cordial and polite, but things will never be the same. — Fed-Up Daughter-in-Law Dear Fed Up: You became the daughter her parents needed. When you were rewarded, it underscored her guilt, and that made her angry.

We’re so sorry.

Try columbine as an annual in your garden After living in the North, I miss some of my fav o r i t e spring and Gary s u m m e r Bachman plants as I now live Southern coastal Gardening in Mississippi. Columbine is one I miss, as I love the way the flowers seem to be suspended in midair by the slender stems as if floating on a gentle breeze.

In my opinion, you need a columbine regardless of where you garden.

Columbine can grow in Mississippi if you treat it as an annual because of our shortish springs and long, hot summers.

Columbine foliage is attached to the plant by long petioles. The trifoliate, blue-green foliage reminds me of the lacy fronds of maidenhair ferns. But it is the flowers that have the greatest landscape impact.

The flowers are interesting, with colors ranging from purple and blue to yellow, white and red.

Columbine bicolored varieties of red and white, red and yellow, and blue and white are spectacular. The flowers are usually slightly nodding.

A fantastic series of columbine for Missis-

Columbines, such as this Aquilegia Swan blue and white, can thrive in Mississippi landscapes when treated as an annual. sippi is the Swan, with its wide range of vibrant, bicolored flowers. These plants are so good that our neighbors to the west named the Swan columbine as Louisiana Super Plants in 2011. It’s best to plant smaller plants in the fall, but you can plant larger plants now for instant garden WOW. A notable feature of the columbine flower is the spur -- resembling an eagle’s claw -- that is attached to each of the five petals. They are thrust backward and create a

Reseeding is a nice trait, as columbine should be treated as a short-lived perennial. I am sure there were times the original plant did not make it through the winter, but I produced so many seedlings that it did not matter.

The extra plants are easily thinned, and when you give them away, you’ll make friends in the neighborhood.

Most of the columbine plants, such as the Swan series available at garden centers, are improved hybrids. They have been selected to display the biggest and brightest flowers. However, there are several other columbine species that are landscape worthy. While plants may not be available at garden center, you can easily grow them from seed sown in the

Though these plants look fragile, they really are tolerant of many environments. Columbine thrives and flowers profusely when planted in

Columbine is a reseeding perennial. In past years, columbine growing in my garden produced new seedlings each spring around the original plants.

fall. Check out the varieties available in the many seed catalogs gardeners get this time of year.

Not only does the columbine add beauty and interest to the landscape, it also attracts wildlife.

The brightly colored spurs are filled with sweet nectar and are magnets for hummingbirds and butterflies.

If you are looking for a new plant to try out in your landscape this year, consider one of the many beautiful colors of columbine. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

First Presbyterian Church Dayschool’s Dr. Seuss Day First Presbyterian Church Dayschool recently celebrated Dr. Seuss Day (left) with a fun filled day of activities for students. The event took a tremendous amount of effort on the part of volunteers, teachers and parents. Students enjoying the fun includ Nyles Smith, Zane Depoyster, Cat in the Hat (Patricia Depoyster), Kate Walker Williams, Mary Nancy Pittman, Declan Murphree, Gracie Bain, Olivia Taylor, Seamus Whittemore and Kate Frame.

Tracey Smith, Nyles Smith, and Zane Depoyster get into the spirit of Dr. Seuss Day (above, left) at First Presbyterian Church Dayschool. (Above, right) Cindy Lou Who (Cindy Steen) welcomes Harper Mazurkiewicz, Lucy Kate Butler and Bowlin Butler to Seussville.

Destroying freedom will lead to destruction of America America was founded, and has thrived, on the principles of individual Bryan liberty and Golden freedom.

America Dare to Live was estabWithout Limits lished as a country where people from every walk of life could escape the shackles of tyranny, oppression, and despotism, which have been the norm throughout history.

There is no place in a free America for tyrants, dictators, kings, or queens. In America, there is no legal authority for any individual or government agency to impose “laws” that circumvent the constitutionally permitted legislative process.

America’s Constitution is our basis for liberty.

Our Constitution clearly delineates the limits of government’s power and definitively defines the rights of American citizens. America’s Constitution, and its protection of freedom, makes America unique.

However, the Constitution is only a document.

Alone, it possesses no ability to maintain freedom and shield Americans from the devastating impact of tyranny. The Constitution is enforced, protected, and defended, only by the actions of freedom loving Americans.

The destruction of America occurs when elected representatives or governmental agencies act illegally in defiance of the Constitution. The destruction of America takes place when these people refuse to enforce existing, duly passed laws, while imposing their own un-

America’s destruction impacts you. ... It’s you who will suffer.

Once America falls, there will be no place to escape. constitutional decrees.

Liberty is possible when people abide by the principles of freedom contained in the Constitution. Only when freedom loving people respect the Constitution does liberty flourish. Conversely, tyrants gain power, and suppress your freedoms, when they are allowed to violate the Constitution.

The founders of America knew that our country would be a constant target for oppression. They built safeguards into the Constitution to prevent tyrants from seizing power, along with procedures to remove them if they did. America’s founders knew firsthand the devastating effect tyranny has on a county’s population.

Freedom is the arch enemy of tyrants. Individual liberty is a roadblock to a tyrant’s ascension to power. In order for tyranny to succeed, liberty must be destroyed. When liberty is destroyed, America is destroyed.

Tyrants are never honest about their intentions. Instead, they continuously lie, deceive, and mislead. Fear is another tyrannical tactic. These power hungry people use fear of government reprisals to make American citizens afraid to speak out or stand up against illegal power grabs.

People who love Amer-

ica and liberty have a deep faith that those who are elected to office also love America and have the desire to protect and preserve our great nation.

Americans have trouble accepting and recognizing that there could actually be elected representatives who would actively seek, or allow, the destruction of America.

America is destroyed by eliminating liberty piece by piece. A tyrannical government seizes control over every aspect of the lives of American citizens. Free speech and opposition is suppressed.

Living in denial by erroneously believing America’s destruction is not happening, and is not possible, is a recipe for utter disaster. The population of every great civilization that has crumbled has held the same misguided belief; that this cannot, and is not happening to us.

America’s destruction impacts you. Your political, religious, or social views are irrelevant to whether or not you are affected. Tyranny spreads misery equally. It’s your liberty that will disappear.

It’s you who will suffer.

Once America falls, there will be no place to escape.

If you want the destruction of America stopped, you must stand up against oppression. America is freedom.

Destroying freedom destroys America. Once America is destroyed, there is no bringing it back.
