Area offers variety of Easter activities BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

Easter season can be a time of deeply spiritual meaning for some or a time for spring celebrations and Easter fun for others. The Crossroads area will be rich with both types of activities this weekend. Among the Easter services this year, there is a community sunrise service scheduled for 7 a.m. Sunday morning at Crossroads Regional Park (City Park). The service will be held at the Number One pavilion right behind the playground. The service is hosted by Grace Community Church and Pastor Tim Alvis said this service is unique because it is meant to be meaningful, but casual. Alvis said jeans, teeshirts and tennis shoes are right at home at Grace Community Church and at the Easter Sunrise Service.

Eight-four people from 28 countries recite the naturalization oath inside The Coliesum on Thursday morning.

84 become U.S. citizens in Corinth Local Relay for Life BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Eighty-four people walked out of the Coliseum Civic Center on Taylor Street Thursday as new American citizens. Bamby Petty, originally from Taiwan and now a resident of New Albany, said it gave her a new sense of allegiance to the place she already considers home. “It is different when you make the commitment,” she said. “Now I’ve sworn to defend and love and protect this country — and that is a very different thing than just living here as a resident.” She entered the U.S. as a student, attending college in Tennessee and becoming a nurse. She has lived in the U.S. for 17 years. “This is more home than anywhere else, so I just thought I would make the official commitment,” said Petty. United States District Court

“We have attempted in the last several years to take these ceremonies to different venues across the Northern District. We think it’s important from a historical standpoint. We think it’s important from a civics standpoint that students and citizens get an opportunity to witness this ceremony.” Chief Judge Sharion Aycock convened in the historic coliseum at 11 a.m. to naturalize prospective citizens from throughout the northern federal court district. A giant American flag hung at the back of the stage where federal judges and other dignitaries sat as the candidates for citizenship recited the naturalization oath in unison. Cries of joy erupted at the conclusion

of the oath as Court Clerk David Crews congratulated them on their new status. The candidates hailed from a total of 28 countries. Each one, as his or her name was announced from the podium, took a microphone in hand and announced the country of origin. Please see CITIZENS | 10A

Civil War era house vandalized Associated Press

JACKSON — A historic house on a Civil War battlefield has been vandalized. A press release Thursday from Mississippi’s Department of Archives and History said thieves took four wooden support beams from a 200-year-old home on a Civil War battlefield. The damage at the Shaifer House was discovered April 1 but likely occurred earlier. The interior floor and walls were also damaged. The site is currently closed, but the state department plans to fix

the damage and reopen it as soon as possible. Jim Woodrick, the director of the historic preservation division at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, said he doesn’t know how costly the repairs will be or how long they’ll take. “We suppose it was to salvage some historic material for some other purpose,” Woodrick said of the crime. “Clearly it was not the work of vandals — it was something that took effort, it took planning.” The state archives department is working with the Claiborne County sheriff’s department. The sheriff’s

oﬃce did not return requests for comment. While the crime occurred almost two weeks before the press release, Woodrick said the archives department wanted to secure the site before releasing the news. The Shaifer House sits on the Port Gibson Battlefield In Claiborne County. Its construction began in 1826 and was the site of the opening salvo in Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s successful campaign to capture Vicksburg during the Civil War. The house was restored in 2006.

BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi does not have to publicly disclose details of how it carries out executions, the state’s highest court ruled Thursday. In a 7-2 decision, the Mississippi Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit by the Roderick & Solange MacArthur Justice Center that argued the state’s corrections department hadn’t disclosed enough information in response to a 2014 public records request. A chancery judge had ordered more information disclosed, but the state appealed. Last year, while the appeal was still pending, legislators changed the law, joining states nationwide in shielding drug purchases and other execution methods from public disclosure. The state argues that releasing names of drug suppliers could allow death penalty opponents to terminate the supply using public pressure. States have had increasing trouble obtaining execution drugs because some pharmaceutical makers don’t want their medicines used for that purpose. MacArthur Center lawyer Jim Craig disputes that disclosure is a threat, saying it’s important to have a full accounting of where Mississippi is getting its death penalty drugs and how it plans to use them. “There’s no threat against any of these

Toyota plans to build $10 million center BLUE SPRINGS — Toyota Motor Co. says it will build a $10 million center for visitors and interactive training at its northeast Mississippi assembly plant. The Japanese automaker’s announcement came Thursday as it marked the 10th anniversary of the plant’s

groundbreaking. The factory, with 2,000 workers assembling Corolla sedans, began production in 2011. Toyota says construction on the 15,000-square-foot building will begin in late 2018, with plans to complete it in 2019. The company says it will begin offering tours before the center opens, starting May 1 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The pastor said they like to do things diﬀerently whenever it’s possible. “One thing we want to do is be out in the community. The church itself is the people and we don’t want to be just contained by four walls,” said Alvis. “As Christians, we know it is Resurrection Day ... that took place outside and I feel like it’s special to do the service outside ... and it helps get us out of the box, so to speak.” The pastor stressed the community is invited. There will be refreshments before the service and Kevin Lofton is in charge of music for the service. “He [Lofton] does a fantastic job,” said Alvis. “Come as you are. We want people to feel comfortable. We want to reach out to the community and share the Gospel with the churched and the unchurched as the Lord leads. Everybody needs a good church family. A good church home. We can be a family to those who don’t have a family.” (For more information about the Sunrise Service or Grace Community Church, call Pastor Tim Alvis at 731-645-2806.)

pharmacies,” Craig said Thursday. “There’s no economic threat; there’s no physical threat. And across the country this is just being used as a dodge to prevent people from knowing where these dollars are going.” Presiding Supreme Court Justice Michael Randolph wrote in Thursday’s decision that the judges must apply the new law to the preexisting dispute, because lawmakers didn’t carve out an exception for ongoing requests and lawsuits. “This court chooses to follow the law as set forth by the Legislature,” Randolph wrote. Craig said the decision could encourage agencies to run out the clock on public record requests. “It’s disturbing that a state agency can delay responding to a records request for public records for a period of years, while they seek to change the statute to block production of the records requested,” he said. Associated Justice Leslie King, in his dissent, said the court’s delay in deciding the case undermined Craig. “This court, by the dilatory manner in which it has disposed of this case, has either wittingly or unwittingly allowed its actions to be impacted by legislative actions,” King wrote. He said the court should have allowed Craig’s case to proceed as if the law hadn’t changed.

Today in History Today is Good Friday, April 14, the 104th day of 2017. There are 261 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was shot and mortally wounded by John Wilkes Booth during a performance of “Our American Cousin” at Ford’s Theater in Washington.

On this date In 1775, the first American society for the abolition of slavery was formed in Philadelphia. In 1828, the first edition of Noah Webster’s “American Dictionary of the English Language” was published. In 1912, the British liner RMS Titanic collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic at 11:40 p.m. ship’s time and began sinking. (The ship went under two hours and 40 minutes later with the loss of 1,514 lives.) In 1935, the “Black Sunday” dust storm descended upon the central Plains, turning a sunny afternoon into total darkness. In 1939, the John Steinbeck novel “The Grapes of Wrath” was first published by Viking Press. In 1949, the “Wilhelmstrasse Trial” in Nuremberg ended with 19 former Nazi Foreign Office officials sentenced by an American tribunal to prison terms ranging from four to 25 years. In 1956, Ampex Corp. demonstrated the first practical videotape recorder at the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters Convention in Chicago. In 1965, the state of Kansas hanged Richard Hickock and Perry Smith for the 1959 murders of Herbert Clutter, his wife, Bonnie, and two of their children, Nancy and Kenyon. The murders were detailed in the Truman Capote non-fiction novel “In Cold Blood.” In 1970, President Richard Nixon nominated Harry Blackmun to the U.S. Supreme Court. (The choice of Blackmun, who was unanimously confirmed by the Senate a month later, followed the failed nominations of Clement Haynsworth and G. Harrold Carswell.)

Across the Region Burnsville Glen man arrested in Tishomingo County BURNSVILLE — The Tishomingo Sheriff’s Department recently made an arrest in a burglary that occurred in December 2016. Benny Ray Ross, 42, of 6 County Road 346 in Glen, has been officially charged with burglary of a dwelling. Ross is charged with the burglary of a home on County Road 135 in Burnsville on Dec. 20 of last year, according to officials. The homeowner notified the Sheriff’s Department in December that someone had broken into their home and stole some prescription medications as well as caused damage to the home. Information was taken of a possible suspect and on Thursday, that alleged suspect was officially charged with the crime. Ross remains in custody at the Tishomingo County Jail awaiting bond to be set by Justice Court.

McNairy County Sheriff says jail remains significantly overcrowded (EDITOR’s NOTE: The following story was written by Independent Appeal Assistant Editor By Steve Beavers. It is being reprinted with permission.) SELMER, Tenn. — The McNairy County Jail could potentially lose a half million dollars in state revenue. “The jail is significantly overcrowded and I am anticipating a lawsuit because of it,” said McNairy County Sheriff Guy Buck. Buck told the McNairy County Commission this week the jail is certified for 95 inmates. Currently, it is averaging 116 prisoners. “We have exhausted every means possible,” said Buck. “The only thing we can do is ship out our state inmates.” Buck said the jail could be placed under a plan of action should it fail inspection. Tennessee Corrections Institute will inspect the jail on Monday. “We want the facility to pass and it may very well do it,” said Buck. “The jail will not be certified unless we bring the numbers down.” That means food and medical costs will increase for the jail. State inmates are also used for free labor in the county. Should most of them be shipped to other jails, the amount of labor done in the county would decrease. Fourteen states inmates have already been sent to other facilities. Buck said the move would cost the county $189,000 a year. Currently, 17 state inmates are being kept at the facility. Normally, 40 of the inmates are housed at the jail.

McNairy County receives $37 a day for each state inmate jailed “There are generally people who need to be out in jail, but we don’t have the place to put them,” said Buck “It’s not anyone’s fault,” added assistant jail administrator Michelle Cooper. “It’s just the sign of the times.” If the jail is not in compliance, a to-do list will be given for it to meet. “I am not blaming anyone,” said the sheriff. “We might just need another jail ... the only plan for inmates is reduction of numbers or to add on.” Buck would like to see the exercise yard enclosed to house more state inmates. “We could add 40 beds if we filled in the yard,” he said. “The money we would get from the inmates would play for itself in no time at all.”

Jumpertown Jumpertown school to add pre-k program JUMPERTOWN — A pre-kindergarten program is coming to the home of the Cardinals. Jumpertown School will be the latest in the Prentiss County School District to offer pre-kindergarten, following the unanimous approval of Principal Anthony Michael’s proposal by the school board on Monday. The program will be aimed at improving the academic performance of students by providing early instruction in vital skills such as reading and math and exposing them to the school environment. Michael told the board the much-requested program can be added at his school with very minimal costs to the district. He explained they have a kindergarten teacher who can be shifted to the pre-k program without the need to add another teacher. They also have a room available which can be easily adapted to house the pre-k class with only minor upgrades. The new program will serve a maximum of 20 children with first priority being given to students from the Jumpertown area. If there are still any slots available beyond that they will be made available to students from other areas of the district. Michael said there’s been a big demand from the community for pre-kindergarten at the school, particularly since the closure of the Pisgah Head Start center prior to the start of the 2015-16 school year which left few options for early childhood education in the area. Jumpertown’s program is the second pre-kindergarten program approved by school board members this spring and will be the third in the district. The board previously voted to add a

similar program at Hills Chapel School to begin this fall. The district currently operates one other pre-kindergarten program, located on the Thrasher School campus, which is funded through a multi-year grant with no costs to the district and which serves students throughout the district.

FLORENCE, Ala. — Leo III and Una wait five months each year to celebrate their birthdays. Their patience paid off Wednesday when community members gathered to say “Happy Birthday” to the 14-year-old lions, reported the TimesDaily. Leo and Una turned 14 in November, but the party takes place in the spring when the weather is typically more temperate. Birthday treats were served to the human guests at the cat party, and games and face-painting provided entertainment before the guests of honor made their appearance. Leo and Una bounded out of the enclosed portion of the lion habitat after hearing partygoers sing “Happy Birthday.” The brother and sister lions were presented with new toys purchased by the dedicated crew of volunteers that care for Leo and Una every day. The party celebrates one of the most unique aspects of UNA’s campus, and also thanks donors who provide funding to care of the lions.

Guilty plea in beating brings no more jail time WEST POINT — A northeast Mississippi man has pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, saying he beat a man in a restaurant parking lot in 2014, but he won’t serve any more jail time. The beating of Ralph Weems IV at a Huddle House in West Point attracted attention over claims that black people attacked Weems because he is white. Weems was in a coma for a time after the beating. District Attorney Scott Colom said Courtez McMillian of Okolona pleaded guilty Monday, and WCBI-TV reported McMillian’s plea agreement requires him to testify against two other defendants. Those men, Marquavious McMillian and Kent Davis, are now scheduled for trial in October. Courtez McMillian was sentenced to seven years in prison, but most of that sentence was suspended and McMillian was released after getting credit for 20 months he has been jailed. The Clarion Ledger reports McMillian will also be on probation for five years and pay a $1,000 fine and court costs. David Knighten, a friend of Weems, told The Associated Press after the beating that he and Weems had left a Waffle House after an argument that brought police. Knighten said someone had warned them that black Waffle House customers were upset by the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and it wasn’t a safe place for whites. The two then went to a Huddle House restaurant, where Knighten said he came out of a restroom and found Weems surrounded. In the parking lot, Knighten said Weems was attacked. He said as many as 20 assailants were involved, although West Point police said video and other witnesses showed far fewer people attacking or watching. West Point Police Chief Tim Brinkley said at the time that it wasn’t clear whether the assaults were motivated by racism, and the men were not indicted under Mississippi’s state hate crimes statute. FBI spokesman Brett Carr said a federal investigation was still pending. Columbus attorney David Owen, who represents Weems

Agriculture industry vital to the state It’s gambling season in Mississippi, the time of year piles of money are buried in the soil, and we wait to see what happens in six months. April is planting season in our state as farmers play their hunches — what to plant, how much to plant. The knowns are far fewer than the unknowns. Weather and markets can be fickle. It’s a risky business. It’s always been a risky business. It is the nature of the industry. But, talk to a farmer and he’ll tell you he wouldn’t be doing anything else. Farming has always been Mississippi’s leading industry. According to the group Farm Families of Mississippi, 26,000 Mississippians — about 17 percent of the state’s workforce — are employed either directly or indirectly in the industry. While chicken/egg and livestock production account for about half of the state’s agricultural income, row crops such as soybeans, cotton, corn and rice are vital to the state’s economy. For those row-crop farmers, the time for decision is at hand. Over the next six weeks, the bulk of the state’s row crops will be planted. Right now, the smart money seems to point to cotton and soybeans, where current prices are promising. Corn prices are oﬀ at the moment and it is expected that most Mississippi farmers will reduce their corn acreage. Of course, it’s more complicated than just looking at market prices. The real question is not so much what the prices are today, but what they’ll be in the fall, when those crops are harvested. It’s almost impossible to predict. Because agriculture is a global industry, the local farmer is not only impacted by the range of weather situations that can aﬀect his crop, but the same conditions half a world away. A drought on the other side of the world can mean a scarcity that drives up prices. A bumper crop on the other side of the globe can flood the market with those products, driving prices down. It’s a gamble every year — a major investment in money, time, worry and work. If everything falls into place, the farmer can expect to make a reasonable profit come fall. But there’s no guarantee, of course. Most Mississippi farmers are small farmers — the average farm in the state is 264 acres — so these aren’t big corporations with multi-million-dollar assets to hedge against a bad year. The typical Mississippi farmer is risking far more. So, as the planting season begins, we salute the farmer, whose work is always a precarious enterprise. Farming requires a lot of sweat and toil and expertise. It also requires the nerves of a gambler. In April, the farmers place their bets, then work and wait. They have our respect, admiration and good wishes. The Commercial Dispatch

Hope of Easter is desperately needed BY DR. GLENN MOLLETTE Columnist

Easter is almost here and we need it bad. People throughout the world celebrate Easter differently just like people celebrate Christmas diﬀerently. When I was a little boy I remember Easter egg hunts at my Grandma and Grandpa Hinkle’s place. They had lots of yard and egg hiding places and a lot of grandchildren to look for them. I was lucky if I found one or two eggs with all the competition. People still hunt for Easter eggs and look forward to an Easter basket. There are a couple of chocolate factories in our town and it’s a home run week for them filling up Easter baskets. Most Christians around the world will celebrate Easter in church. Easter is the prime time Sunday of the year for the church. If a church cannot get a crowd on Easter, then there will not be any crowds the rest of the year. Easter is the Sunday when most churches have to bring out the folding chairs and park on the side of the road, the grass or down the way. Some people will have a new dress or suit or kids will have a new Easter outfit to wear. Or, if they don’t always dress up for church

Jesus never arose from the grave then Christianity is just another organization meeting every week and doing some nice things along the way. The church with a dead Jesus would still be a religious not for profit 501©3 but it would be a very dead religion. There is so much sadness already in the world today. The world is hurting all over. From another horrible school shooting just this week at San Bernardino to a multiple number of murdered Christians reportedly bombed by Islamic State in Egypt, there is horror in Syria and growing tensions between Russia, Iran, North Korea and the United States. Fifty million plus Americans struggle every day in poverty. The hospitals and nursing homes are filled with people battling for their health and a little more life. The world is filled with worry. We fret over a lot of stuﬀ and often it is stuﬀ we can’t change or never fix. Easter is about hope. Easter is about peace. Easter is about a new life and a second chance. Easter is about bringing focus and meaning to this life and this world. The Bible in John chapter 20 reports that Mary Magdalene saw Jesus on the first day of the week after his resurrection outside

the entrance to the garden tomb. She ran to the disciples reporting, “I have seen the Lord!” Later that evening Jesus appeared to his disciples and said to them, “Peace be with you.” He then showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. For the second time Jesus said, “Peace be with you.” The early followers of Jesus were filled with such peace and internal strength that their lives would never be the same again. They were so convicted internally about Jesus they would literally suﬀer and in many cases die for their faith. America and really our world truly need a song to sing, a bell to ring and a hero to follow. Great people stand and fall and we all come and go. The message of Easter and a living Jesus continues to give hope, peace and strength to people around the world. This year not much has changed as once again, we need it really bad.

Humanities deserve funding and support

Prayer for today Lord God, give me the power to control my mind and heart, that I may not be a slave to habits that may keep me from eternal love and blessedness. May I have sympathy and compassion for others, and cherish thy tenderness and mercy as I hold it in my daily life. Amen.

some will make an eﬀort to dress just a bit better than usual because it’s Easter. Please do remember though if it’s a good church they are glad you are there regardless of how you dress! I served a number of congregations over the years and I loved Easter but was always really glad when it was over. The average minister has about 20 -25 minutes to hit a home run and round the bases before the average attendee totally zones out or starts eyeing the exit. The message is much the same year after year - the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As Christmas is about the birth of Jesus for the Church, Easter focuses on Christ’s resurrection. In reality it shouldn’t take an ingenious sermon to stir church people about a man who the Bible says overcame the grave and appeared to a number of people. Yet, every year it seems that clergy find a way to bore people with how they present the greatest story ever told, by how they tell it. Christians stake their lives and eternal destinies on the message of Easter. The New Testament time and time again reiterates this part of the Bible story, “He is risen!” A dead Jesus takes all the air out of Christianity. If

One of the joys of my career as a community college history instructor is the opportunity to join in the work of the Mississippi Humanities Council (MHC). The primary funding source for the MHC is currently threatened with the proposed elimination of the National Endowment of the Humanities. While absorbing only 1/21,000th of the federal budget, money funneled from the National Endowment of the Humanities through the state councils directly impacts our local communities and citizens. Over the past twenty years, I have been involved in numerous humanities programs, but none impacted lives more than one this fall at Northeast Mississippi Community College. I serve as an advisor for the Iota Zeta Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, the international community college honors society. As part of an Honors in Action project, the students chose to research the impact of war on the individual. One major theme that emerged was the impor-

tance of listening to veterans both to honor them and to validate their experiences. From their research, the students developed a project called, “Just by Listening: Honoring Veterans through Their Stories.” They successfully applied for an oral history grant with the Mississippi Humanities Council. That grant enabled them to receive professional training from University of Southern Mississippi’s Center for Oral History and conduct 22 interviews with veterans using high quality equipment. Each veteran received a copy of the interview, which also became a part of the state’s archives. Using MHC funds, the students commissioned Oxford writer George Kehoe to create a readers theater based on the interviews, which the students presented to the public after a dinner honoring the veterans and then to the student body. The students and I certainly hope the project had a positive impact on the veterans. We know it did on us. Sophomore Samantha Talley told the veterans, “Thank you for giving us a new per-

spective, and really, a better understanding of what you have been through, and what some of you still deal with today. We hope from here we can use this new knowledge to make a difference in an impactful way. But most of all, we want to thank you for the sacrifices you’ve made for our nation.” Inspired by the interviews, especially the testimony of Northeast Assistant Football Coach Dustin Jones, who served as a U.S. Army Staﬀ Sergeant in both Iraq and Afghanistan, the students donated $7,000 to Project Odyssey, a Wounded Warriors program. Project Odyssey focuses on helping veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder through outdoor, rehabilitative retreats. The individual impact of “Just by Listening” was particularly evident on our chapter president, Andrew Marshall. He guided his fellow students through the project, setting an example by doing the first interview with US Congressman Trent Kelly. In the process, Marshall grew from a rather timid young man into a selfconfident leader who was

just named one of twenty community college students to make the 2017 All-USA Academic Team, selected for demonstrating academic excellence and servant leadership in a way to benefit society. The Mississippi Humanities Council’s motto is, “The humanities are for everyone.” With this project “everyone” included 18-year-old community college students, a 92-year-old World War II veteran, and US Congressman Trent Kelly. Join me in urging Mississippi’s Congressional delegation to maintain funding for the National Endowment of the Humanities. Through this small investment the MHC will continue creating opportunities for Mississippians to better understand themselves and the larger world through conversations about our history and culture. Carla Falkner is the head of the division of social, behavioral and applied sciences at Northeast Mississippi Community College and has served on the Mississippi Humanities Council for eight years.

Lawyer: Dao will need surgery Largest non-nuke Associated Press

CHICAGO — The passenger dragged from a United flight lost two front teeth and suﬀered a broken nose and a concussion, his lawyer said Thursday, accusing the airline industry of having “bullied” its customers for far too long. “Are we going to continue to be treated like cattle?” attorney Thomas Demetrio asked. The passenger, Dr. David Dao, has been released from a hospital but will need reconstructive surgery, Demetrio said at a news conference, appearing alongside one of Dao’s children. Dao was not there. The 69-year-old physi-

cian from Elizabethtown, Kentucky, was removed by police from the United Express flight Sunday at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport after refusing to give up his seat on the full plane to make room for four airline employees. Cellphone video of him being pulled down the aisle on his back and footage of his bloody face have created a public-relations nightmare for United. One of Dao’s five children, Crystal Pepper, said the family was “horrified, shocked and sickened” by what happened. She said it was made worse by the fact that it was caught on video. For Dao, who came to the U.S. after fleeing Vietnam by boat in 1975 when

Saigon fell, being dragged oﬀ the plane “was more horrifying and harrowing than what he experienced in leaving Vietnam,” Demetrio said. Demetrio, who indicated Dao is going to sue, said the industry has long “bullied” passengers by overbooking flights and then bumping people, and “it took something like this to get a conversation going.” “I hope he becomes a poster child for all of us. Someone’s got to,” the lawyer said. Early on, United CEO Oscar Munoz added to the furor when he apologized for the incident but accused Dao of being belligerent.

Later, Munoz oﬀered a more emphatic mea culpa, saying, “No one should ever be mistreated this way.” He promised to review the airline’s policies to make sure something like that never happens again, and said United will no longer use police to remove bumped passengers. The airline also said all passengers on the flight would get a refund. In a statement issued immediately after Thursday’s news conference, United insisted that Munoz and the airline called Dao numerous times to apologize. Munoz himself said on Wednesday that he had left a message for Dao.

‘Survivor’ contestant outed as transgender Associated Press

“Survivor” contestant Zeke Smith was outed as transgender by fellow competitor Jeﬀ Varner on Wednesday night’s episode of the CBS reality competition. The move has prompted online criticism and condemnation by a major LGBT rights group. Varner made accusations of “a deception” before revealing that Smith is transgender on the episode. Varner was immediately criticized by other players. He repeatedly apologized, but was voted out of the competition. In the tense tribal council, which was taped last year, Smith explained that he didn’t mention that he was transgender because he didn’t want to be known as “the trans ‘Survivor’

player. I wanted to be Zeke the ‘Survivor’ player.” On the contrary, he now says appearing on “Survivor” was a step toward becoming the man he wants to be. He writes in The Hollywood Reporter that by calling him deceptive, Varner invoked “one of the most odious stereotypes of transgender people, a stereotype that is often used as an excuse for violence and even murder. “In proclaiming ‘Zeke is not the guy you think he is’ and that ‘there is deception on levels y’all don’t understand,’ Varner is saying that I’m not really a man,” Smith continues, “and that simply living as my authentic self is a nefarious trick. In reality, by being Zeke the dude, I

am being my most honest self — as is every other transgender person going about their daily lives.” In a statement Thursday, CBS said “we have always been guided by the principle that this is his (Smith’s) story to tell, and it remains so.” The network lauded his grace and said it also had “respect for how Jeﬀ Varner expressed remorse for his mistake” on the episode and in interviews. “In the end, we believe this episode, accompanied by Zeke’s own remarkable writing and speaking on the subject, has provided an unexpected but important dialogue about acceptance and treating transgender people with respect,” CBS said.

TRACTOR CONTINUED FROM 1A

Evergreen subdivision when a driver attempted to pass two District 2 tractors pulling bush hogs. “The tractors were partially oﬀ the roadway cutting grass as normal,” said Caldwell. “The driver who attempted to pass the first tractor was unaware of the second tractor.” There was also a second driver who attempted to pass the tractors, said the sheriﬀ. “The driver of the first vehicle was paying attention to the second vehicle when he collided with the second tractor’s bush hog,” added Caldwell. The truck climbed the back of the bush hog

and landed on the tractors rear tire, causing the truck to flip over. While the driver of the truck refused treatment, the county employee who was driving the tractor at the time was taken to Magnolia Regional Health Center by ambulance. “My employee was banged up pretty good. He’ll be oﬀ a few days for sure,” said Second Dis-

trict Supervisor James Voyles. “Our equipment also suﬀered a lot of damage.” Both Caldwell and Voyles stressed safety when roadwork is being done. “Everyone involved in Thursday’s accident is extremely blessed,” said the supervisor. “This time of year, I can’t stress enough for folks to use caution when they see tractors or

any type of crews or work being done on county roads.”

bomb ever hits IS BY ROBERT BURNS Associated Press

WASHINGTON — U.S. forces in Afghanistan on Thursday struck an Islamic State tunnel complex in eastern Afghanistan with “the mother of all bombs,” the largest non-nuclear weapon ever used in combat by the U.S. military, Pentagon oﬃcials said. The bomb, known officially as a GBU-43B, or massive ordnance air blast weapon, unleashes 11 tons of explosives. When it was developed in the early 2000s, the Pentagon did a formal review of legal justification for its combat use. The Pentagon said it had no early estimate of deaths or damage caused by its attack, which President Donald Trump called a “very, very successful mis-

sion.” The U.S. military headquarters in Kabul said in a statement that the bomb was dropped at 7:32 p.m. local time Thursday on a tunnel complex in Achin district of Nangarhar province, where the Afghan aﬃliate of the Islamic State group has been operating. The target was close to the Pakistani border. The U.S. estimates 600 to 800 IS fighters are present in Afghanistan, mostly in Nangarhar. The U.S. has concentrated heavily on combatting them while also supporting Afghan forces battling the Taliban. Just last week a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, Staﬀ Sgt. Mark R. De Alencar, 37, of Edgewood, Maryland, was killed in action in Nangarhar.

Mom can give away baby clothes or donate them for a tax break DEAR ABBY: My friend recently had a baby and could really use my daughter’s old clothes, as our girls are only a year apart and I have saved practically everything. But it will cost a considerable amount to ship several boxes, and I could use the extra money myAbigail self if I sold Van Buren the clothes at a tag sale. Would I Dear Abby be cheap if I asked that when my friend is done with them, she donate the clothes to a charity and send me back the tax donation forms? -- WANTS TO KNOW IN CONNECTICUT DEAR WANTS TO KNOW: First, a gentle reminder that once a gift is given, it belongs to the recipient. And yes, I believe you WOULD come across as cheap. Either give the clothes out of the goodness of your heart, knowing you will reap rewards beyond the financial -- or donate them yourself. DEAR ABBY: “Full of Feeling in Arizona” wrote about her husband lacking sympathy, and

was worried he may not be there emotionally for her children in the event of her dying before he does. Y our answer to her was to “outlive him,” which had me rolling in laughter. Perhaps another idea might be to write letters to her children NOW. A heartfelt letter taking family members through the loss of their mom (from their mom) or dad (from their mom who has already passed) may be very comforting to some. Or several letters for different occasions could be a beautiful gift. Just a thought. -- CHRISSY IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CHRISSY: Other readers suggested letter writing (and a personalized video message) as potential solutions to this problem. Read on for a sampling of other comments: DEAR ABBY: Perhaps the mom should identify a relative or family friend to be aware of this issue and ready to step in and provide some support if needed. If the children and this person are alerted beforehand, they will know whom to turn to in case Mom predeceases her husband. Each child may wish to designate his or her own source of support, but the purpose of this exercise is to reassure the mother that her kids will not be alone.

-- MAURA IN OREGON DEAR ABBY: This woman needs to know that it’s OK for her husband to be hard-nosed about death. While he SHOULD be more sympathetic to the feelings of others, he wasn’t raised that way. His way of handling it is to put up a wall. Some people don’t have the same depth of feelings as others. Mine are much more matter-of-fact than my friends’. But I can appreciate that we all grieve in different ways. -- DAVID IN MICHIGAN DEAR ABBY: That woman’s husband could have Asperger’s syndrome, a type of high-functioning autism. These individuals, although accomplished and intelligent in many areas, have difficulty processing empathy. It makes them seem uncaring. This condition makes interaction between spouses extremely frustrating and difficult. It’s worth considering. -- AUDREY IN PENNSYLVANIA 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). The social swirl favors you, though in a temperate kind of way. Contrastingly, some party animals you know wear themselves out because they miss the secret to maintaining a robust social life: Go home when you’re tired. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your purpose will converge with a bit of randomness you can’t help but pay attention to. This may involve an exciting someone, and it becomes a part of your shared story. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Don’t start with what others want from you or who they want you to be. Start with what interests and excites you. What they need most (though they might not know it yet) is to have people around them who are interested and excited. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People will have to come to a decision together. The compromise will either be even better than than the original idea each person brought to the table or it will suit none. Calm communica-

tion will be key. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Relationships’ ease will have more to do with what’s going on outside the relationship. Stressors get lifted today, and the flood of relief makes it so much easier to be present with one another. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be careful not to let your perfectionism keep you from expanding opportunities. Not everything requires such a high level of attention. In many situations, good enough is good enough. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You find it pretty easy to make rational decisions, unless you are 1) hungry, 2) tired or 3) emotionally involved. Hungry and tired are easy to remedy. Good luck getting your feelings out of it, though! SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Bottom line, the group will be better for your expertise, instinct and involvement. They may not show you often enough how valuable you are, but hang in there, if for no other reason than this: They need you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). Surrender if you feel it’s time, if you’ve been fighting out of stubbornness and ego instead of principle and purpose, if you’re ready to stop resisting where life wants to take you. But if this is just about giving up, don’t. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will look for what you find and, bonus, what you beckon for will come to you. Now all you have to do is direct your energy well, toward loveliness and strictly what you would enjoy in your life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can only give what you’ve got. Actually, you could borrow to give, but that would be a horrible idea today. In fact, make sure you don’t give all you’ve got. Hold back half. You’re going to need a lot more tomorrow. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll wake up and avoid some rather overblown expectations that are being promoted by parts of our culture in the realm of relationships. You recognize that this hype is toxic to your pursuit of love.

Corinth’s Kyle Crigger dives back safely to first after a leadoff single against Itawamba AHS Thursday night at Warrior Stadium. The Tribe dropped a 6-3 decision to the Indians in Fulton Tuesday and were looking to move back into position for a possible Division 1-4A title if the chips fall right. The Warriors got redemption as they defeated Itawamba 5-2 on a 2-hitter from pitcher Jackson Lancaster.

Warriors defeat Indians, Aggies lose BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Division titles and better playoﬀ positions were on the line Thursday night and a pair of local teams had mixed results as they chased their respective division crowns. Corinth 5 Itawamba AHS 2 The Warriors earned redemption after blowing a golden opportunity Tuesday and losing at Itawamba Tuesday by downing the Indians 5-2 at Warrior Stadium on Thursday. Depending on how things play out over the next few days, Corinth has put themselves back into position to claim the Division 1-4A title. But they’ll need some help from Amory. Pitcher Jackson Lancaster had his game on against Itawamba as he allowed two runs on just two hits in six innings before Kerrigan Maness came on to earn the save in the seventh. Lancaster walked six batters but also struck out 11 to

make up for it. He also had four of Corinth’s 11 hits on the night. The Tribe jumped on IAHS in the bottom of the first by plating two runs as the first three hitters reached on base hits, including a double by Maness. The Indians didn’t score until the fifth inning but CHS responded with one in the fifth and two in the sixth to secure the victory. Corinth is now 19-5 overall and 6-3 in division. Mooreville 8 Kossuth 5 The Aggies played for the Division 1-3A title without their ace on the mound. Nik Wilcher was held out with an unconfirmed, unspecified injury which is believed to be a spur in his shoulder. In his place Austin Higgs did his best to pitch Kossuth to another division crown but it just wasn’t in the cards as the Troopers won 8-5 after Kossuth had rallied from 5-1

down to tie the game at 5 in the fifth inning. After knotting the game, Mooreville loaded the bases before their six-hole hitter blasted a shot to no-man’s land between center and right field. Neither Kossuth outfielder could make the play and the ball crashed up against the fence and cleared the bases to put the visitors back ahead by three. The Aggies made some noise in the sixth but couldn’t bring any runs across the plate allowing the Troopers to claim the Division 1-3A title. KHS is now 13-10 overall and 7-3 in division play. Alcorn Central 14 Belmont 6 The Golden Bears weren’t playing for a division title but they were playing to improve their playoﬀ position. On the road at Belmont, Alcorn Central once again handled the Cardinals as they won 14-6 to improve to 15-7 and 5-4 in Division

1-3A. Jerod Bronson earned the win on the mound and Tate Perriman led the hit-parade with three, including a pair of doubles as the Bears finished with 11 base hits. Corinth 17 Shannon 0 The Lady Warriors stayed tied with Houston for the Division 1-4A lead as they blasted Shannon 17-0 and moved to 10-9 overall, 6-2 in division. The Lady Toppers still own the tie-breaker due the run-diﬀerential rule. They defeated Corinth by more runs than Corinth won by the second time as they won to even the series. Colby Cox tossed a no-hitter over three innings and struck out five Lady Raiders. Check the scoreboard for more game scores and information.

2017 NBA Playoff Capsules The Associated Press

Here’s a look at each NBA playoﬀ matchup as they begin this weekend.

Eastern Conference No. 1 Boston Celtics (53-29) vs. No. 8 Chicago Bulls (4141) Season series: Split, 2-2. Story line: It’s Boston’s first time as the No. 1 seed in the East since 2008 — which was also the last time the Celtics hoisted the Larry O’Brien Trophy to end the season. And the Bulls, who seemed seriously dysfunctional at times this season, now get new life and a chance to enjoy Dwyane Wade’s playoﬀ savvy. Key Matchup: Isaiah Thomas vs. Rajon Rondo. Thomas got his points in the regular season (averaging 24.8 vs. the Bulls), but the matchup will be crucial between the new Celtics star and the last point guard to take the Celtics to a title. Prediction: Celtics in 6.

No. 2 Cleveland Cavaliers (51-31) vs. No. 7 Indiana Pacers (42-40) Season series: Cavaliers, 3-1. Story line: LeBron James starts his bid for a seventh consecutive trip to the NBA Finals, and will meet the Pacers in

the playoﬀs for the fourth time in that span. The defending champions went 23-23 in their last 46 games, tied for the 15thbest record during that stretch. Can they flip the switch, or does Indiana bask in playing with nothing to lose? Key matchup: James vs. Paul George. They may not guard each other much, but it’s no secret that Indiana’s most logical path to an upset is for George to get hot and stay hot. He’ll likely have to match James’ production for the Pacers to have a real chance. Prediction: Cavaliers in 5.

No. 3 Toronto Raptors (51-31) vs. No. 6 Milwaukee Bucks (42-40) Season series: Raptors, 3-1. Story line: Toronto reached the East finals last season, have Kyle Lowry back from a second-half wrist injury and a likely All-NBA performer in DeMar DeRozan. They know what the playoﬀs lights are like. Milwaukee All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to get his first taste of the postseason, and he’ll have to adjust quickly. Key matchup: Who guards Antetokounmpo? Probably a handful of Raptors will be involved, and that’s the matchup to

watch. If the Greek Freak gets on a roll, Toronto could have issues. Contain him, and the Raptors shouldn’t have much problem getting to the second round. Prediction: Raptors in 6.

No. 4 Washington Wizards (49-33) vs. No. 5 Atlanta Hawks (43-39) Season series: Wizards, 3-1. Story line: Washington was a great comeback story this season, shaking oﬀ a 2-8 start like it never happened and putting together the best regular season for the franchise in nearly 40 years. Atlanta is looking for a third consecutive trip to the second round, and finished the season on an uptick after a seven-game slide in March. Key matchup: How the Wizards guard Dwight Howard. Washington knows it won’t have Ian Mahinmi to start the series because of a strained calf, and his 6-foot-11 frame will be sorely missed. Prediction: Wizards in 7.

No. 1 Golden State Warriors (67-15) vs. No. 8 Portland Trail Blazers (41-41) Season series: Warriors, 4-0. Story line: With Kevin

Durant back and healthy, Golden State’s quest to get to a third straight NBA Finals begins against an opponent it dominated this season. Golden State averaged 125 points and had its biggest win ever over Portland with a 13590 rout on Dec. 17. But all the games were before the All-Star break, and the Trail Blazers played their best basketball after that. Key Matchup: Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson vs. Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. Perhaps the best backcourts in the West go head-tohead. All four guards are capable of putting up huge numbers, but Portland’s probably can’t afford any bad nights given how much more help the Warriors’ duo has. Prediction: Warriors in 5.

No. 2 San Antonio Spurs (61-21) vs. No. 7 Memphis Grizzlies (43-39) Season series: Split, 2-2 Story line: This is the fifth time these teams have met in the playoﬀs in the last 13 years, so the familiarity is there. The Spurs have kept rolling along after Tim Duncan’s retirement, getting an MVP-caliber season from Kawhi Leonard and another masterful coaching job from Gregg Popovich to win 61 games. But the Grizzlies are no easy out.

They held the Spurs to 90.5 points and 43 percent shooting in their four meetings this season. It will be a dogfight. Key Matchup: Tony Parker vs. Mike Conley. Even though he’s past his prime, Parker remains integral to the Spurs’ chances for a deep playoﬀ run. If Conley can dominate the matchup, Spurs could have their hands full. Prediction: Spurs in 5.

No. 3 Houston Rockets (55-27) vs. No. 6 Oklahoma City Thunder (47-35) Season series: Rockets, 3-1. Story line: Only the most intriguing matchup of the first round. Houston’s James Harden and OKC’s Russell Westbrook, former teammates with the Thunder, are the two leading candidates in an air-tight MVP race. Each have put together historic oﬀensive seasons to carry their teams to unexpected finishes, Harden helping the Rockets rebound from a massively disappointing season last year and Westbrook single-handedly allowing the Thunder to move past Kevin Durant’s departure last summer. Key Matchup: Harden vs. Westbrook. Westbrook owns a decided statistical advantage in the series this season, averaging 36.3 points, 9.3 assists

and 9.0 rebounds while shooting 44.7 percent from the field. Harden averaged 20.5 points, 12.3 assists and 7.3 rebounds while shooting 34.3 percent, but won three of the four games. Prediction: Rockets in 7.

No. 4 Los Angeles Clippers (51-31) vs. No. 5 Utah Jazz (5131) Season series: Clippers, 3-1. Story line: Same as the last few years with the Clippers, only with a little more urgency now given that Chris Paul and Blake Griﬃn can become free agents. Are they good enough to make a deep run in the West, and will the core of their team be broken up if they don’t? Their three victories over rising Utah gave them the season series tiebreaker and home-court advantage in this Key Matchup: DeAndre Jordan vs. Rudy Gobert. Gobert is the dominant man in the middle and potential defensive player of the year for a Jazz team that allowed an NBA-low 96.8 points per game this season. But he can’t roam around the paint too much and ignore Jordan, who turned Paul’s passes into a 71.4 percent field goal shooting mark that led the league. Prediction: Clippers in 7.

and promise to continue to help make the United States of America a great country of boundless opportunity and wonderful people,” he said. Corinth native John Palmer, who served as ambassador to Portugal from 2001 to 2004, told the new citizens they have the same, if not better, opportunities as those who came before them. “We are excited you are becoming a part of us,” he said. Corinth’s John Rhodes, brigadier general with the Mississippi National Guard, led the Pledge of Allegiance following the oath, and the Corinth High School Mixed Ensemble performed The National Anthem. The Corinth High School Band Ensemble performed patriotic music before and after the event. A number of students from local schools observed the ceremony, and the new citizens received souvenirs presented by five chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution — La Salle, Chickasaw Nation, Chief Tishomingo, Mary Stuart and Natchez Trace. Many praised the ceremonial presentation of the event. Carol Puckett, who attended with Palmer, said she has previously seen naturalization proceedings in the courtroom. “I’ve never seen anything like what they’ve gone to up here,” she said.

‘Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing’ When Jesus was being nailed to the cross He said, “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing,” Luke 23:34. What a message that our Lord and Gary Savior was Andrews giving us even as He Devotionals was about to be crucified. Jesus died between two thieves. One came to repentance and the other was hardened to the ways of the world and wished only to

Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday - Matthew 5:43-48; Monday - Proverbs 20:22; Tuesday - Luke 6:3538; Wednesday - Romans 12:17-20; Thursday - Isaiah 30:21; Friday Psalm 37:23-24; Saturday -John 15:58 be saved from the cross. One of the criminals as he hung on the cross hurled insults at Jesus saying “aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and

us!” Luke 23:39. In our modern day times aren’t some of us continuing to hurl insults at Christ? Aren’t many of our friends and acquaintances saying that we need to believe in the world and worldly reasoning to get along with people? Has the age of forgiveness been forgotten? There are many times when our friends, relatives, and others try to manipulate one another and end up being cross or mad at each other over something trivial. The days go by and a forgiving spirit is forgotten because the incident is

not as fresh as it once was on our minds and we hang on to resentment and chastisement. Just as the thief on the cross we believe in ourselves and what the world teaches instead of giving our lives over to Jesus and trusting in Him for salvation and eternal life. Our hope is not in this world but peace and contentment is granted to us through Christ and only through Him. In Luke 23:40-43 we are told, “but the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we

are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” This thief was truly penitent and even though Christ was in His greatest struggle and agony forgave him of his sins and accepted him into eternal rest. The same is true for us today if we will accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior. When He calls us home we too can be sure of hav-

ing eternal life with Him in a place we call Heaven. As we walk this earth we need to remember that we need to have a forgiving spirit. Matthew 6:14 says, “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Prayer - Father, thank you for loving a sinner like me. Help me to forgive others and have understanding just as you have forgiven me for my sins.” Amen. (Daily Corinthian columnist Gary Andrews is a native of Alcorn County. A retired newspaper publisher, he lives in Yazoo City.)

John gives credit to a woman, Mary Magdalene, in the Easter story Last week I shared the story of the song “In the Garden” and how the writer was led to pen the words that have become so special to many of us. Lora Ann His stoHuff ry points me again Back Porch to the book of John, written by the disciple who was probably the youngest of the group and also classified himself as the “one Jesus loved.” If John was the youngest of the twelve disciples, his heart was probably still tender and eager to learn all he could about this man who had turned the world of the Jewish leaders upside down. When the women found Jesus’ tomb empty on the morning of the resurrection and Mary Magdalene ran to tell Simon Peter and John what

obviously had seen no reason to hang around in the garden after finding Jesus’ body gone. But Mary Magdalene – she was one of us women who finds it hard to accept change -- not quite ready to say “it’s over.” We want to linger in the moment, process the details of the “whys” and “why nots” and see if there might be an explanation for what’s going on. We’re loyal. We don’t give up on folks. Mary had been with Jesus on a daily basis and had observed His habits and His comings and go-

ings; she had seen His miracles and heard His promises. Like us, she was probably thinking, “This can’t be all there is!” …So to reward Mary’s love and devotion, Jesus appeared to her and let her be the one to announce the news of His resurrection – the greatest news the world has ever witnessed. Being a woman myself and knowing the loyalty I feel towards those I love and trust, I just think it’s neat that Jesus knew Mary’s heart and trusted her with the world-chang-

ing news of all the ages. …And the Beloved Disciple who witnessed the announcement was not ashamed to give a woman credit for being faithful and obedient! John may have been the “disciple Jesus loved,” but he had learned from the Master how to love others and admit that all of God’s children have a part in telling the Good News. Hallelujah! He is risen!!! (Wenasoga resident Lora Ann Huﬀ is a columnist for the Daily Corinthian.)

Of course, Jesus consoled Mary and then gave her a mission – go and tell the disciples that He was alive! I’m just a little bit amazed and proud of John for being strong enough to give credit to a woman, Mary Magdalene, for lingering beside the tomb and being rewarded by seeing the risen Jesus and then running to share the news. John had watched Jesus die on the cross after He requested that John take care of Mary, His mother. John was fulfilling that particular request but

they found, John outran Peter to get to the tomb. He looked inside but was hesitant to enter until Peter went in – then John followed. As John recounts the story in his gospel, he admits that he and Peter left the garden and went back home, not knowing what to make of Jesus being gone. He said they still didn’t understand that Jesus had to rise from the dead. John then goes on to say that Mary tarried in the garden, standing outside the tomb crying. After looking inside again and speaking with the angels there, she turned around in tears to hear a man ask her why she was crying. After explaining between sobs that Jesus was gone and she wanted to find Him, the man called her name, “Mary!” Mary recognized His voice and immediately cried out, “Rabboni!” (Teacher), as she fell to her knees in front of Him.

Dear Annie: We have a friend, “Larry,” whom we socialize with and who is part of a tennis group that my husband is also part of. My husband has always loved cooking and is great at it. (More than once, friends have told him he ought to open a restaurant.) He has cooked for this tennis group — having been asked — on several occasions. But no matter what it is that my husband cooks, Larry always has some complaint: “It’s not the same as last time,” “It’s not spicy enough,” “This is overcooked,” etc. Yet he always comes back for seconds and more. It aggravates me, and I told my husband that perhaps he should tell this guy to do it himself, but he’s too nice. (Plus, the one time Larry did bring a dish, it was terrible — though we all ate without complaining for the sake of his feelings.) What could my husband say while still being tactful? We are open to any suggestions. I don’t want to lose it and snap at this guy in front of all our friends. — Sick of Fussy Larry Dear Sick: Larry

Dear Annie sounds unbelievably spoiled. If it weren’t so irritating, you’d almost have to laugh at the gall. Perhaps your husband could serve him some truth with a helping of humor: “Would you like a refund?” or “I’ll pass your complaints along to the chef.” This would bring Larry’s attention to his rudeness without leaving a bad taste in anyone’s mouth. Dear Annie: This is in response to the woman who wrote in about her daughter’s showing up late for holiday dinners. Our family tradition when I was growing up (in the 1960s and ‘70s) was Thanksgiving with Dad’s family and Christmas with Mom’s family. We lived less than an hour from Mee-moo’s house. We found out years later that they always told Dad that dinner was an hour earlier than it was really scheduled for because Dad had a tenden-

cy to make us late. However, I agree with you. The person who is late is the rude person. When everyone is told that dinner will be at 4 p.m., the person who doesn’t bother to arrive until 4:45 is being totally rude. As they say in one of the “Star Trek” movies, “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” Thirty people who are polite enough to show up on time have the right to start on time unless there is a very good reason for delaying. One person’s deciding to be late without explanation is not a good reason. — John Dear John: When friends and family start lying to you about when you need to be at a place, you know you’ve got a bad case of chronic tardiness. Though I’m not one to condone lying as a solution in general, what your family did was a good way to adjust for your dad’s own personal time zone.
