This building at the 700 block of Taylor Street will be demolished to make way for a new two-story headquarters for Commerce Bank.

Local bank plans new main office

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Downtown Corinth is scoring another major investment as Commerce Bank plans to clear an existing block and build a 14,000-square-foot, two-story facility at the 700 block of Taylor Street.

The locally owned institution closed on the purchase of the property Thursday afternoon and is looking to open the new location in 2019. The block is bordered by Taylor, Bunch, Webster and Childs streets.

The bank has also purchased an additional parcel at the northeast corner of Childs Street and Webster Street for employee parking and overflow customer parking.

Commerce President and CEO Frank Davis said the bank has enjoyed growth since opening in 1999, particularly during the last few years, and is excited to make this significant investment downtown.

“With our customer base continuing to expand and our deposit relationships continuing to expand, we’re now up to just over $111 million in total assets,” he said. “We really just need more room to grow and expand and help Alcorn County to succeed.”

With 26 full-time employees, the bank currently has 5,760 square feet at

“We really just need more room to grow and expand and help Alcorn County to succeed.”

Frank Davis Commerce Bank president and CEO 306 South Cass Street, the former ACE Power office, which has been home to Commerce since 2001. Davis said the bank will look at its options for the current facility, including the possibility of retaining it as a branch location, as the project moves forward.

At the planned main office location, the bank will demolish the existing older commercial structure, which has been home to a number of businesses through the years. The employment office and Girl Scouts office are among those that have been there in the past.

After existing tenants relocate, the next step will be demolition of the existing building and beginning the design for the new headquarters.

City deems park fun station ‘unsafe’

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted on Wednesday to request demolition of the Crossroads Fun Station playground at Crossroads Regional Park.

Safety concerns have emerged, and Mayor Tommy Irwin said he has been in favor of its removal for some time.

“It’s like anything else — something is great when it’s new,” he said. “Every-

thing gets dated.”

A letter drafted by City Attorney Wendell Trapp to the park board and director, dated Thursday, states, “The City is concerned that portions of the playground equipment have deteriorated to such an extent to create potential safety hazards. It is the City’s belief that the playground is probably not in a state that can be salvaged and therefore Please see PLAYGROUND | 2A

This damaged wooden board can be found at Crossroads Fun Station.

Memorial exhibit Northeast Mississippi artist Bruce Bigelow built a following with an eye for detail and a style that has been described as “poetic realism.� The Corinth Artist Guild Gallery at 609 North Fillmore is featuring a memorial exhibit of his work throughout July with an opening reception this Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m.

He worked in commercial art and moved in 1981 to Tupelo, where he successfully managed a freelance art business for more than 20 years, serving many furniture manufacturers and other businesses. Bigelow, who died last year, painted primarily in oil and also enjoyed writing poetry. He found some subjects in Corinth, such as the Fillmore Street Chapel, for his paintings.

President Jimmy Tate Waldon said it is something the county will need to discuss before acting.

A contractor is going to examine the structure, and Supervisor Tim Mitchell will be interested in hearing the results. “I do not want it to be unsafe for children,� he said.

But he believes the park may be able to get it back up to par.

The city wants to pursue a replacement for the fun station. “It will be exciting to have something to look forward to,� said Irwin. “I’m not saying what the project is going to be right now because I don’t know exactly. But I’ll put it this way — we’re going to get it right.�

The building of the “fun stationâ€? was the focus of a huge community volunteer eort in 2002 through a Lowe’s program that was popular at the time. Some work has been done on the playground in recent times with the assistance of Lowe’s, including replacing broken and rotten wood, sealing the wood and painting. “That was remarkable and gracious on their part to help extend the life of the playground just a little longer,â€? said Park Di-

rector Ray Holloway.

The playground, now sealed from access with yellow tape, has been an ongoing issue for the park.

Holloway said wooden playground structures, although popular for their natural look, simply do not hold up well over time.

A new playground was considered as part of the recent park expansion but did not make the final cut.

Ward 1 Alderman Andrew “Bubba� Labas said he is hearing some concern from contributors to the E.S. Bishop Park playground project, for which private funds are being raised, about the possibility of the city building a new playground at the city park. “The city doesn’t have any plans put together as of yet,� he said. “It’s going to be something we’re going to have to take under advisement and figure out how we’re going to pay for it.�

The city board’s action Wednesday evening was made in a second open session following a closed-door session for personnel and litigation matters.

Both the city aldermen and county supervisors make appointments to the park commission that oversees the facility.

Lawmaker resigns after winning Vicksburg office Associated Press

VICKSBURG — A Republican is resigning from the Mississippi House of Representatives after winning a city oďŹƒce in Vicksburg.

Alex Monsour had inquired about remaining in the Legislature while serv-

ing as alderman. But, he said after reviewing documents from the attorney general, it became clear he could not do both jobs.

Mississippi doesn’t allow oďŹƒcials to serve in executive and legislativebranch oďŹƒces at the same time.

President Shannon Sellers. “The camp will help students gain confidence and stage presence using their imaginations, collaborating together and learning teamwork.�

Sellers attended the camp herself when she was a little girl. “I loved it,� she said. “I went every year from about the time I was 8-years-old up until I was 13. It was a blast. There was music, skits and dancing. It was a lot fun, and actually some of my best summer memories were made during CT-A camp.�

This year’s camp will allow 15 to 20 kids the opportunity to learn about theatre, both on stage and back stage, added Sellers. “The camp is perfect for everyone – no matter the experience level,� she said. “There will be classes for kids who have never

acted and those with acting experience. All skill levels are welcome.�

Sellers is hoping the camp will help turn new attendees into life-long theatre supporters. “We really hope to grow our youth program by adding those who attend the summer camp into our future youth productions,� she said.

The camp’s final production will be a variety show highlighting the individual strengths of each student and performed Friday, July 14, at 6 p.m.

Each camper will need to bring a sack lunch daily. Snacks and drinks will be provided by CT-A. (For more information, contact 662-287-2995 and leave a message. To register, visit the theatre at 303 Fulton Street nightly from 6 to 8 p.m.

Registration can also be completed on the first day of camp.)

Local/Region Prentiss County Man faces kidnapping, burglary charges BOONEVILLE — A Lee County man is accused of a slew of crimes, reported WTVA. Marcus Nichols, 25, of Plantersville, faces kidnapping and the burglary of an inhabited dwelling.

Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar says the charges stem from Nichols breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s home and holding her against her will.

It happened at a home on County Road 7422.

Sheriff Tolar says Nichols kicked the front door in. The victim hid in a closet, but Nichols located the woman.

She later managed to escape. She was located running down the road when the first Prentiss County deputy arrived.

Nichols was arrested in the area after he fled on foot.

His bond was set at $50,000.

Tolar says several other law enforcement agencies have active warrants on Nichols and holds have been placed on him.

JACKSON — The University of Mississippi will post a sign acknowledging that slaves built some structures on the main campus founded before the Civil War. The university made the announcement Thursday, also saying Ole Miss will strip the name of James K. Vardaman off a building. Vardaman, a white supremacist, was Mississippi’s governor from 1904 to 1908 and a U.S. senator from 1913 to 1919.

The changes are part of an effort started in 2014 to provide historical context on the Oxford campus, which was rocked by violence after court-ordered integration in 1962. The administration has already added a plaque to provide information about slavery and the Civil War to a Confederate soldier statue near the Lyceum, the main administrative building on campus.

University leaders have said they’re trying to make a diverse student body feel more welcome.

Jeffrey Vitter University of Mississippi chancellor mission by pursuing knowledge and understanding,” Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter said in a news release.

The move to add historical context to some places and to rename others at Ole Miss comes amid debate in many parts of the U.S. about how to deal with the public display of symbols and monuments tied to slavery and the Confederacy. New Orleans is among the places that have recently removed Confederate monuments. Harvard University this year acknowledged its ties to colonial-era slavery, and Yale University rebranded a residential college that had been named for a 19th century U.S. vice president who supported slavery.

Court upholds bank robbery conviction SALTILLO — A federal appeals court has upheld the conviction of a man charged with the robbery of a Saltillo bank, reported WTVA. Chris Cosner, 59, is serving 360 months in prison on bank robbery and use of a weapon in the commission of a violent crime charges.

A federal indictment says Cosner carried a pistol and a pipe bomb into the First American National Bank in Saltillo on July 1, 2015.

He left with cash but dropped the bag after the dye pack exploded.

Cosher was arrested a short time later walking near Highway 45.

A jury deliberated about an hour before finding him guilty at trial in March of 2016.

Cosner appealed claiming bank robbery was not a crime of violence and says the judge interfered with plea negotiations.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld his convictions.

gian-style brick building dating to 1853, now home to international studies.

A campus committee recommended adding historical context for some campus buildings or monuments, and removing Vardaman’s name from a building that used to be a dormitory but is under renovation to house offices. A new name for Vardaman Hall has not been chosen.

The committee wrote that when he was a newspaper editor before taking office, Vardaman used racial slurs to denounce President Theodore Roosevelt for dining with black people.

“As governor of Mississippi, Vardaman used racial hatred and fear to shore up the white vote,” the committee wrote, quoting a 1907 campaign speech in which he called for lynching black people to maintain white supremacy. “From the state’s highest elected position, Vardaman also argued that education ruined black Mississippians and made the dismantling of African-American education in the state a priority.”

SAVANNAH (AP) — A trial in the disappearance and killing

of Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo has been delayed until September.

Media outlets report that Judge C. Creed McGinley on Thursday postponed the trial of Zachary Adams until Sept. 11 after new evidence was discovered in the case.

Adams has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping, rape and murder charges. His trial had been set to begin Monday in Savannah.

Bobo was 20 when she was reported missing from her home in Parsons in April 2011.

Her disappearance led to a massive search in Tennessee and the South.

Authorities say two men found her skull in a wooded area in Decatur County in September 2014.

Two other men also are charged with kidnapping, rape and murder in the case.

Healthcare bill demands a careful look Twice now, the Congressional Budget Office has provided a clear message to Republicans rolling out health reform legislation: The “cures” the party has proposed are far worse than the ills the bills try to fix.

Late Monday, the CBO’s nonpartisan group of economists released its review of the Senate bill that has been crafted with little input from consumers, patients, medical providers or the state leaders who would be forced to grapple with the drastic cuts to Medicaid the legislation calls for. Not surprisingly, the CBO’s “score” of a bill written by politicians for politicians signals that the reforms serve wealthy GOP supporters at the expense of the poor, the seriously ill, early retirees and working-class families.

Compared with former President Barack Obama’s reforms, 22 million fewer people would have health insurance in 2026. The Senate bill also pulls out $772 billion from the Medicaid program over the same time period, recklessly leaving states, which jointly fund the program, to deal with the fallout.

Premiums for consumers buying individual health insurance would rise across the board in 2018 and 2019. After that, most — particularly those who are older or sicker — would pay considerably more to maintain the level of coverage they have under Obama reforms.

On its face, the Senate bill’s score is slightly better than the CBO’s assessment of the previously released House plan, which would result in 1 million more Americans lacking coverage. But the CBO score doesn’t reflect the steeper cuts the Senate bill makes to Medicaid after 2026.

Minnesota experts are understandably issuing extraordinary warnings about these steep future cuts. “Nursing homes, a lot of them, will probably close because they will not be able to survive,” said Lynn Blewett, a nationally respected University of Minnesota health policy expert, at a Saturday health reform forum in Burnsville.

Blewett’s concern is justified. Both the House and Senate plans go far beyond rolling back the Obama law’s expansion of Medicaid to needy adults. The program, which is jointly funded by the states and the federal government, provides medical care for the poor and, as part of this, pays for the bulk of long-term care for the elderly and disabled.

One in two Minnesotans in a nursing home relies on Medicaid, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

In assessing the Senate bill’s potential damage, it’s also important to remember the expensive remedy the Minnesota Legislature crafted this year to stabilize the state’s individual health insurance market, where consumers were hit with soaring price hikes. The solution: a $600 million “reinsurance” program to offset the cost of patients with costly, ongoing medical needs. In turn, it was hoped that this would reduce by 20 percent the premiums of the roughly 5 percent of Minnesotans who buy insurance on their own.

Many Minnesotans struggling to afford individual policies under Obamacare earned slightly too much to qualify for the financial aid the law made available to discount premiums. But the Senate bill does the opposite of what’s needed by significantly lowering the financial eligibility line to qualify for premium assistance. The aid also would be skimpier for many of those who qualify. The result: more individual market consumers unable to afford coverage, leaving legislators in Minnesota and elsewhere on the hook for future rounds of reinsurance or other pricey aid.

The Senate bill’s path through the chamber is far from assured. The CBO has provided a factual analysis raising multiple red flags.

Senators ought to heed, not ignore, these concerns.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Prayer for today Gracious Father of us all, if I may have cause to be provoked to-day, help me to rise above my angry passions, and not from weakness plunge into that for which I may be sorry. Make me self-forgetful, that I may be willing to make peace with those whom I may have displeased. Amen.

A verse to share One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.”

—Acts 18:9-10

Donald Trump: Insulter in chief “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” (Proverbs 15:1) President Trump once referred to the health care bill passed by the House as “mean.” So how should we characterize his remarks about MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski? The president of the United States, reacting to her criticism of him, claimed Brzezinski was “bleeding” from a facelift when he saw her last New Year’s Eve at his Florida resort. He further described her as being “dumb as a rock.” That’s worse than mean. It’s cruel.

In my experience of having been insulted for things I have written and said, the personal attack achieves nothing, except perhaps to make the attacker feel good.

It almost always invites a similar response.

In an interview with the magazine InStyle, Brzezinski speculated that first lady Melania Trump wants out of her marriage: “I know Melania. I haven’t talked to her in months, but if my gut is right, I don’t think she’s going to put up with it much longer. I know nothing.

That’s just my instinct and

I go with my gut and my gut’s always right.”

That, too, was a cruel thing to say.

Cal See what I Thomas mean? I recall an old Columnist joke that when you fight “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” all you will get out of it in the end is two blind and toothless people.

Mrs. Trump fired back in a tweet through her communications director, saying she supports her husband and when he is insulted he will “punch back 10 times harder.” In a speech last November she denounced cyber bullying: “We have to find a better way to talk to each other.” Yes, we do.

Leaving aside the president’s legitimate claim that most of the liberal media are against him and his policies, what good does it do to engage in personal insults, especially against people who do not have anything close to presidential power?

Fewer than 1 million people watch “Morning Joe.” The president commands the at-

tention of the entire nation.

Sen. Susan Collins (RME) reacted to the insulting presidential tweets, telling the New York Times: “I don’t think it directly affects the negotiation on the health care bill, but it is undignified -- it’s beneath a president of the United States and just so contrary to the way we expect a president to act. People may say things during a campaign, but it’s different when you become a public servant. I don’t see it as undermining his ability to negotiate legislation, necessarily, but I see it as embarrassing to our country.”

Other Republicans have expressed similar sentiments and called on the president to stop the insults.

What should get the president’s attention is a poll conducted by Fox News, his favorite network. Taken just before his comments about Brzezinski, the poll found that 71 percent of respondents believe the president’s tweets are hurting his agenda. Just 17 percent see them as helpful.

During the campaign Mr. Trump promised to win so much we would grow tired

of winning. I’m not tired yet.

He should focus on his policies, which are appealing to most Republicans and conservatives, and I would argue will benefit the most people. From putting constitutionalists on the federal courts, to curtailing illegal immigration, repealing and replacing Obamacare, reforming the tax code, cutting spending, defeating ISIS and much more, these are issues his supporters care most about. Winning has a way of silencing one’s opponents.

The president has said his tweeting is a way around the media, but using tweets to insult people does not benefit him, or his agenda.

Much of the world, which is used to looking to America for leadership, is appalled by his behavior.

The president should cool it with the tweets for a while -- at least the insulting ones -- turn off the TV, stop reading newspapers (except my column!) and focus on pursuing his agenda. If he won’t, he will be playing into the hands of his opponents. Winning a policy battle is far better than trying to win a battle of insults.

That’s a fool’s pursuit.

Money on the line in highway debate Mississippi voters need to get up to speed on the debate about highway funding.

There’s a lot of money on the line.

How much money? TRIP, a national transportation research group, just completed a study claiming deficient roads are costing Mississippians $2.9 billion a year in vehicle repairs, traffic delays and crashes. That’s about $1,500 per vehicle.

Meanwhile, the state Legislature won’t raise the gas tax 15 cents a gallon to increase road funding, an increase that would cost drivers about $100 per vehicle.

The tax hasn’t been adjusted for inflation in 25 years.

The Mississippi Economic Council (MEC) is mounting a huge public relations effort to raise the gas tax but it has so far fallen on deaf ears at the Legislature.

So what gives? Why would our leaders not spend $100 to save $1,500? It’s like refusing to spend money on an oil change that would save your entire engine from destruction.

Like an oil change, we can defer maintenance on our roads for many years until the results come home to roost. This creates a difficult political challenge. Our leaders must do something unpopular now to avoid greater cost down the road.

Even worse, it costs far more to rebuild a road than to repave it. By the time the problem becomes obvious, it’s too late. Instead of a simple mill and overlay, the entire road must be rebuilt at four times the cost.

The political will is harder to muster given the changing landscape of campaign contributions. As money and power have become centralized in large national political action committees, state organizations like the MEC are outspent by national anti-tax foundations.

One such organization is Americans For Prosperity (AFP). AFP is not a bad organization at all. They are dedicated to controlling runaway government spending.

But like any ideology, strict adherence to principles can

lead to a lack of pragmatism.

The MEC spent $300,000 on their state road study.

Meanwhile, AFP-Mississippi has spent millions opposing the gas tax increase.

Much of this money has gone directly to our political leaders, clouding their objectivity on the issue.

It takes money to win elections. AFP and other conservative national political action committees have the big bucks to make it so.

Money aside, the AFP makes some good points.

Their main point is that even though the gas tax has not been increased in 25 years, the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) budget has increased quite nicely over the years from federal funds and other state sources.

The MEC argues that road repair and maintenance costs are three times higher than in 1988 – even higher than inflation. If that is true, then a 15 cent gas tax would bring our MDOT budget in line.

AFP makes another good point: The worst roads are the city and county roads, not the state roads. Raising the gas tax wouldn’t fix the real problem unless MDOT starts sharing its money with local governments.

Indeed, MDOT has only given 10 to 15 percent of its

budget to city and counties in the form of state aid. If the gas tax is increased, MDOT is promising to increase this to 20 percent. But that still seems low. If the gas tax is increased, the Legislature should insist that half the increase go to fix our local roads.

I do fault AFP in their claim that only one percent of our roads are in bad shape. It seems to me they cherry-picked the stats to come up with that claim.

Both state and federal data indicate that about a third of our roads are in poor or very poor shape. Unfortunately, a huge number of smaller local roads are not included in these surveys. If they were, the number of bad roads would probably be close to 50 percent.

Part of the problem is that the professionals who are in a position to judge the quality of our roads have a vested interest in expanding the maintenance budgets.

That’s what they do. A good engineer is always going to want to build the best roads and maintain them perfectly. But is that a bad thing?

No doubt, there is waste at MDOT. But if we delay maintaining our roads until we solve the problem of bureaucratic waste, we will eventually all be driving offroad vehicles on dirt roads.

Legal fight continues over Mississippi gay-marriage law

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Wrangling continues over a Mississippi law that lets merchants and government officials cite their religious beliefs to deny services to same-sex couples.

Attorneys filed papers Thursday asking the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to block the law .

Legal experts say it’s the broadest religiousobjections law enacted by any state since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015.

The law championed and signed by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant in 2016 protects three beliefs: that marriage is only between

Mother charged with killing 4 kids, their father Associated Press

LOGANVILLE, Ga. — Four young children and their father were found slain in a home outside Atlanta early Thursday, and police say the mother — now charged with their deaths — was the one who called 911 to report the killings.

The five were apparently stabbed to death. A fifth child, a 9-year-old girl, survived and was hospitalized with injuries described as serious, police said.

The woman was detained by police after the bodies were found inside the home in Loganville, Gwinnett County police Cpl. Michele Pihera told reporters at the scene. Police later charged 33-yearold Isabel Martinez with five counts of malice murder, five counts of murder and six counts of aggravated assault.

“She was quickly taken into custody and right now she’s at Gwinnett County Police Headquarters being interviewed,” Pihera said. Police have not said whether she was injured but said she was cooperating with investigators.

a man and a woman, sex should only take place in such a marriage, and a person’s gender is determined at birth and cannot be altered.

Attorneys for a dozen gay and straight plaintiffs who sued the state said in court papers Thursday that they are ostracized by the law, which started as House Bill 1523.

“HB 1523 is offensive to the rights of LGBT and other dissenting Mississippians and to the Supreme Court’s command on this burning civil rights issue,” they wrote.

The law would allow clerks to cite religious objections to recuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and would pro-

tect merchants who refuse services to LGBT people.

It could affect adoptions and foster care, business practices and school bathroom policies.

U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves blocked the law from taking effect in July 2016, ruling it unconstitutionally establishes preferred beliefs and creates unequal treatment for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

An appeals court panel lifted the hold on the law June 22, saying people who sued the state had failed to show they would be harmed. Plaintiffs want the whole appeals court to reverse that decision.

Children’s advocate to revisit poverty in Delta Associated Press

JACKSON — The founder of a children’s advocacy group returns to Mississippi next week to examine how poverty affects people’s lives, much like Sen. Robert F. Kennedy did 50 years ago.

Marian Wright was a civil rights attorney working in Mississippi in 1967 when she recommended that U.S. senators travel to the state to see for themselves the living conditions of some of the poorest people in the nation.

Kennedy, a Democrat from New York,

was moved to tears in the Mississippi Delta by talking to people who lived in shacks and children with stomachs distended from hunger.

At one home, reports said a family had only a jar of peanut butter in the refrigerator.

Wright accompanied Kennedy on the Mississippi tour and met one of the senator’s aides, Peter Edelman, during the trip. She and Edelman married in 1968, and she moved to Washington to continue her advocacy work for the poor.

This rendering shows a concept of the planned headquarters for Commerce Bank.

BANK CONTINUED FROM 1A

Davis said the bank is excited to contribute to ongoing downtown improvements.

“There have been significant investments over the last 10 years downtown,” he said, “and we are so thankful that we are able to take

part in it and position our company for growth with Corinth and Alcorn County.”

The projected opening in 2019 will coincide with the bank’s 20th year of operations.

As of June 30, the bank had total assets of $111.5 million and capital of $12.9 million.

What’s important to you? Let’s talk.

The Labor Department reports today its latest monthly employment snapshot.

Economists predict hiring in the U.S. rebounded in June as employers added 179,000 jobs. That would follow a gain of 138,000 jobs in May, which was down from the previous month’s total.

Employers have added jobs at a steady pace this year, though somewhat slower than in 2016.

The tally of U.S. oil and natural gas rigs has been rebounding steadily as oil prices have stabilized.

Last week, the number of rigs slipped to 940. That included 756 rigs exploring for oil and 184 seeking natural gas. A year ago, a total of 431 rigs were active.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Why was Crossroads Magazine named one of the best in the state by the Mississippi Press Association last year? Find out why with the special Dream Homes Edition coming out on July 29, where readers will learn an Alcorn County man is building a 12,000-square-foot hunting lodge.

Bluesman’s wife feels no love after festival incident D E A R ABBY: My husband, “Ray,” and I have been together for 10 years and, like Abigail most couVan Buren ples, we have had Dear Abby our ups and downs. Ray is a professional musician, so a lot of my time is spent supporting this, either by promoting his endeavors or accepting the fact that I will always come second to his first love -- the blues.

A couple of gigs ago, Ray played at an outdoor festival.

So there I sat, in the rain, in the dark, watching the show.

Three men approached where I was sitting and stood in a circle around me watching the show. Attendance was sparse due to the weather, so it seemed strange they stood so close to me. It made me uneasy, but I have been in similar situations since being with Ray, so I didn’t think much about it.

At home later that night,

while I was unwinding and listening to Ray complain about his fingers, I mentioned the three men. He said he had witnessed it and thought it was a little odd, too. This led me to ask, hypothetically, what he would do if he were on stage and I was being attacked in front of him. He said he would put his guitar in its stand, go to the microphone and ask for assistance for me. He wouldn’t throw the guitar down and rush to my aid!

I couldn’t believe his response. I feel completely alone and unloved. I don’t know what to think or what to do. Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated. -- FACE IN THE CROWD DEAR FACE: You are neither alone nor unloved, and I seriously doubt your husband’s response to your hypothetical question was an indication that he doesn’t love you. It’s possible that he was afraid he would not be able to adequately protect you, and that Security could deal with the three men more effectively than he could. Bear in mind that if the real thing were to

happen, he might react very differently.

Because you are fearful, plan ahead. Carry pepper spray when you attend his performances.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter graduated more than two years ago. I offered to help her with her thank-you notes, but I dropped the ball and never got them completed and sent out.

I feel terrible and guilty.

Would it be wrong to send out letters to everyone and explain what happened? Or how else can I resolve this mess and put my conscience to rest? -- PROUD MAMA IN OHIO DEAR PROUD MAMA: The task of writing thank-you letters was your daughter’s responsibility from the start. She should send them out right away, with her apologies. Better late than never.

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).

Today will be all right. In the English-language sense of it, this phrase covers a wide variety of meanings (many of which will apply): “just ok”; “spectacular”; “here’s a counter offer”; “agreed”; and “yes.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You can’t see time, although, if you wait long enough, there will be quite a lot of physical evidence that it was here. To experience time more vividly, positively and fully, plant a seed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

There’s someone you want to know better, but you’re not sure how you should approach. Better to repel someone by being who you are than attract them by being who you’re not.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

A loved one will figure into your work scenario and may be the key that unlocks the next professional level. Even so, ultimately it’s your work and your being that will make the situation great for all.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Whom should I know? Many don’t ask such questions, out of shyness or a lack of foresight. But you realize that in order to move and shake things, you need to get to know the current movers and shakers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ve already come far in life with emotional development and maturity beyond your years. With all you’ll gain over the next three weeks, you’ll rise to yet another level of wisdom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’re creative. You don’t need to have the best things in order to make the best of things. Also, many who already have the best can’t see it. You’ll help them see it. So, you’ll make them a little jealous, too. It can’t be helped.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’ll become so immersed in these adventures that you’ll find there is no longer room for the anxiety and fear you once felt. You’ll channel your energy

into exciting new endeavors.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You enjoy getting quality attention, and you know how to hold and play with that, too. You also cherish your private time. Today you’ll prefer to recharge in solitude.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s no time to waste in anger. Forgive quickly; forget easily. There is so much fun and play to be had! Tonight sees you laughing until your cheeks hurt.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Just because they ask doesn’t mean you have to answer. Why do they want to know? It’s not like you’re applying for a security clearance or running for office today.

You’re allowed to be as mysterious as you want to be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Liking yourself may not be enough today. You’ve plenty of reasons to be madly, deeply in love. Anyway, what would you do differently in that case?

How would you advocate for yourself?

How will area teams fare this season?

Ask Kent Ask Kent debuts today A new feature begins this week in the Daily Corinthian sports pages.

‘Ask Kent’ can now be found hopefully on a weekly basis. We will have a test run for a few weeks to gauge interest from our readers and anyone else that has a sports question or inquiry.

From there we hope to make this a weekly feature. We’re looking for input from each of you and Kent will do his best to answer your questions or do some research to find the answers if it’s not readily available.

Check out today’s edition of ‘Ask Kent’ located to your right. It will give you an idea of the direction we hope to take this venture.

If you have a question or questions for ‘Ask Kent’ please email them to sports editor Kent Mohundro at kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com.

You can also mail them to Daily Corinthian, Kent Mohundro/Sports Editor, 1607 South Harper Road, Corinth, MS. 38834.

Local Schedule

Welcome to a new venture here in the Daily Corinthian sports pages. It’s aptly named ‘Ask Kent’ because that’s exactly what it’s about: you asking me questions regarding the sports world.

It can be about anything as long as it deals with relative sports topics: high school, college or pro— doesn’t matter.

I meet people all the time who ask me Kent what I think Mohundro about this and that in the Sports Editor world of sports so I decided it would be fun to turn these thoughts into a weekly or recurring sports column.

This week: How will our area teams fare this season?

I’ve had this one a lot lately and it’s a relative question. No matter what school you root for, you hope they have a good season. That’s a natural thing.

Shoot...I still wonder even now, how my alma mater,

Horn Lake, will do from year to year. Since I don’t cover that area of Mississippi, I rely on the words of writers that do cover that area on a regular basis. I haven’t heard any news yet on this year’s team but I hope to very soon.

I’m pretty sure the Eagles won’t be contending for any state championships anytime soon, competing with the likes of Tupelo and South Panola.

But they did finish last year with their best record in eons as they went 9-3 but narrowly missed the playoffs. And losing to South Panola by a mere 7-0 was hard to swallow.

Enough about my alma mater, let’s move on to the ones that you wanna know about. I do wanna preface the remainder of this piece by saying these are only my opinions based on information available to me at this point and time.

Let’s start at home with Corinth. The Warriors missed

out on the playoffs last season for the first time in 17 years and believe me, that didn’t sit well with fans of the redand-black. Second-year head coach Todd Lowery didn’t have the luxury of a spring camp last year because he was hired after camp. But a full regular season and spring camp later he says the ‘light’ has now come on in the heads of the returning players and that they ‘get it’ now.

He also feels the Tribe’s defense will be extremely good.

And with Jon D Warren back to run the offense the prospects look good there too.

My prediction is that Corinth will return to the playoffs once again although where they fall in the seedings is still to be determined.

The Kossuth Aggies lost 20 seniors off last year’s squad but they have been through this before. Seventh-year head coach Brian Kelly will find a way to put a competitive football team on the field as he usually does and I believe the Aggies will once again be right there at the end.

Will they win the division?

That’s a good question. Even Kelly would tell you he’s not sure but never doubt Kossuth will compete hard and be a force.

Biggersville got close enough to the playoffs last year to get a good sniff. Now they want to take the next step. The Lions are tired of simply smelling the burgers on the grill, now they want a burger of their own.

Second-year head coach Stan Platt likes what he’s seen from his returning players so far and the dedication and hard work they have put in should bode well for them.

I would be lying if I said I feel comfortable predicting a playoff spot for this young group based on the division they play in. But it did almost happen last year so I won’t be surprised if it does happen.

Mississippi State offensive lineman Martinas Rankin was recently named 2nd team All-American by College Football News.

Rankin named preseason All-American by CFN Mississippi State Sports Information

STARKVILLE — Following a standout junior season, Mississippi State offensive lineman Martinas Rankin has been dubbed a preseason second-team All-American

by College Football News, the publication announced Thursday.

Rankin, who is projected by many to be a first round

draft pick in 2018, can play all positions but saw all of his action in 2016 at tackle.

Rankin came to MSU as the nation’s top rated junior college offensive lineman in 2015, but redshirted during his first year on campus. He earned 10 starts last season and played in all 13 of the Bulldogs’ games in 2016.

Rankin spent most of the spring playing center and

was MSU’s most dominant offensive lineman last season, playing a total of 857 snaps while protecting quarterback Nick Fitzgerald.

Rankin is the only offensive lineman from the SEC to be named to the first or second team by the publication. Alabama’s Ross Pierschbacker and Florida’s Martez Ivey were each named to the third team.

The Bulldogs kickoff the 2017 season Saturday, Sept.

2 against Charleston Southern.

Wimbledon glance: Murray, Nadal, Venus on Day 5 The Associated Press

A quick look at Wimbledon:

In Store For Friday: Defending champion Andy Murray takes on a familiar adversary at Centre Court in the third round: 28th-seeded Fabio Fognini of Italy. They have played six times, each earning three victories; the most recent match came in May on clay in Rome, where Fognini won in straight sets.

“Here, it’s completely different,” Fognini said, calling Murray the favorite. “Of course, it’s Wimbledon. It’s home for him.”

Murray is one of four British players on Friday’s schedule, along with Aljaz Bedene, Johanna Konta and Heather Watson. If all four win, the tournament’s host country would have its largest contingent of men and women in the round of 16 since 1975. Also on Centre Court, Rafael Nadal will try to extend his run of winning 25 consecutive completed sets, which dates to the start of the French Open. His personal best at the majors is 28, from the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 2010 to the U.S. Open final that year. Nadal faces 30th-seeded Karen Khacha-

nov, a 21-year-old Russian appearing in only his fourth Grand Slam tournament.

Others in action on Day 5 include five-time champion Venus Williams against Naomi Osaka, a 19-year-old from Japan, and 2014 U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic against 26th-seeded Steve Johnson of the U.S.

Friday’s forecast Cloudy. High of 77 degrees.

SEC names MSU’s Rooker Kramer athlete of the year Mississippi State Sports Information

STARKVILLE — One week after becoming just the second player ever to claim the Southeastern Conference triple crown, Brent Rooker has been named the 2017-18 Roy F. Kramer Male Athlete of the Year winner by Southeastern Conference, selected by a vote of the league’s athletics directors.

Rooker joins Will Clark (1985) and LaToya Thomas (2003) as the only Bulldogs

to claim the honor.

The Germantown, Tennessee native was also named National Player of the Year

by Collegiate Baseball and became MSU’s first-ever SEC Player of the Year, in addition to First Team AllAmerica honors from five publications.

A first round pick by the Minnesota Twins in the 2017 MLB Draft, Rooker also won the Ferriss Trophy (best amateur baseball player in the state of Mississippi), was

named First Team All-SEC and was also a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award and Dick Howser Trophy.

Rooker finished his stellar season with a .387 batting average and a school record 30 doubles. His 96 hits was eighth in program history for hits in a single season, while his 23 home runs was fifth in the MSU record books.

On the year, Rooker became the first player in SEC history to record 20 home runs, 30 doubles and 75

RBIs in a single season and the first Division I player to accomplish the feat since Clemson’s Khali Green in 2002.

head coach Brandon Cherry and have a legitimate shot at a winning season if two things happen: stay healthy and steal a win somewhere on the schedule. If they get a pair of division wins it would likely earn them that playoff spot they’ve been working so hard for.

Tishomingo County is a mystery with a new head coach along with a new offense and defense.

New coach Ray Weeks will lead his team this season with several new starters at key positions.

The Braves’ primary struggles in recent seasons have been within division play.

They came close to getting over the hump a couple of times in 2016 including a home game against Shannon that literally slipped through their fingers.

I believe this will be a ‘get-acquainted’ type of season at TC and there will no doubt be a huge learning curve and learning struggles. It could turn out to be the type of season Corinth experienced last year. I just don’t see a playoff berth this season for the Braves. Maybe they’ll prove me wrong.

Thrasher will be under the leadership of new head coach Perry Murphy, the former Corinth skipper who won a couple of titles at Mt. Olive a few years back. He comes over from his defensive coordinator position at Kosciousko with hopes of getting the Rebels into the playoffs.

Quite honestly, Thrasher is hard to gauge right now but there is talent.

With Murphy and his strong background of successful coaching, especially on defense, it wouldn’t shock me to see the Rebels fighting for a playoff spot in late October. It also wouldn’t surprise me to see it go the other direc-

tion.

Somewhere in the middle is likely.

Booneville will again field a strong and competitive team that should challenge for a division title. Head coach and former Kossuth player, Mike Mattox always puts a quality product on the field and the Blue Devils always have athletes all over the field.

It appears Booneville, along with Kossuth and division newcomer North Pontotoc, which has been here before, will battle it out for the Division 1-3A crown.

Walnut enjoyed a nice 2016 season but did lose a couple of key players including Marshall University signee Monterio Hunt. But junior quarterback Kevin Hurley returns to lead what should be a good Wildcat offense.

The team’s success will likely depend on the play of the defensive line and backfield. If sixth-year head coach John Meeks can fit the pieces together, Walnut could very well return to the 2A playoffs for the second straight year.

McNairy Central just needs to stay healthy and keep working hard and they could have their first winning season since 2008. Running back Kylin Wynn returns to lead the offense after suffering a season-ending knee injury before the first game was even played last year.

In fact the Bobcats lost their top two backs from last year’s squad before first snap.

But Wynn gives them a chance if he stays off the injured list.

I hope these thoughts have been helpful and I look forward to answering more of your questions each week here at ‘Ask Kent’.

Next week I’ll dive into a question surrounding SEC football and two teams in particular. ’Til next time…

OKLAHOMA CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hobby Lobby Stores has agreed to pay a $3 million federal fine and forfeit thousands of ancient Iraqi religious artifacts smuggled from the Middle East that the government alleges were intentionally mislabeled for import, federal prosecutors said.

The Oklahoma Citybased craft store chainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devout Christian owners have long shown an interest in the biblical Middle East and started to collect artifacts from the region in 2009, according to a civil complaint filed in New York on Wednesday.

Hobby Lobby President Steve Green is the owner of one of the largest collections of religious artifacts in the world and is building a Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., due to open in the fall.

Green said in a statement that the company cooperated with the government and â&#x20AC;&#x153;should have exercised more oversight and carefully questioned how the acquisitions were handled.â&#x20AC;?

Hobby Lobby executed an agreement to purchase over 5,500 artifacts in December 2010 for $1.6 million, the complaint says.

Prosecutors said acquisition of the artifacts â&#x20AC;&#x153;was fraught with red flagsâ&#x20AC;? and that packages bore shipping labels that described their contents as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ceramic tiles.â&#x20AC;?

LONG LEWIS CORINTH â&#x20AC;˘ 1500 SO. HARPER RD. CORINTH, MS â&#x20AC;˘ 662-287-3184 800-844-0184

United Arab Emirates shipped packages containing the artifacts to three diďŹ&#x20AC;erent corporate addresses in Oklahoma City. Five shipments that were intercepted

by U.S. customs oďŹ&#x192;cials bore shipping labels that falsely declared that the artifactsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; country of origin was Turkey.

In September 2011, a package containing about 1,000 clay bullae, an ancient form of inscribed identification, was received

by Hobby Lobby from an Israeli dealer and accompanied by a false declaration stating that its country of origin was Israel.

Hobby Lobby consented to the fine and forfeiture of thousands of tablets and bricks written in cuneiform, one of the earliest systems of writing, as well as other artifacts that prosecutors say were shipped without proper documentation, the complaint says.

Prosecutors said Hobby Lobby has agreed to adopt internal policies for importing cultural property and training its personnel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our passion for the Bible continues, and we will do all that we can to support the eďŹ&#x20AC;orts to conserve items that will help illuminate and enhance our understanding of this Great Book,â&#x20AC;? Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the first time that religious beliefs have put Hobby Lobby in the headlines.

The chain challenged President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AďŹ&#x20AC;ordable Care Act, saying it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to provide certain forms of birth control for its employees, citing religious objections. In June 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in Hobby Lobbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor, saying the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights had been violated under the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Overcoming our What do Native Americans think of July 4? discouragement It doesn’t matter where life takes you there are going to be times of disappointment and discouragement.

It seems Gary to be one Andrews of life’s problems Devotionals that cannot be avoided and I firmly believe everyone who has the opportunity to grow older and be a part of society will face these problems.

I can remember many times, over my years of life that God has allowed me to have, when life itself seemed to not be what I wanted it to be. Whether it was a ballgame I played in when I was a youngster and hated losing or maybe a job promotion gone awry when I was a young adult, discouragement always set in and it left me wondering what I could have done to make it better or a winning situation.

I remember when I wanted to win so much I would pray for victory. I always thought praying would make everything I wanted possible, but was so disappointed on several occasions when all did not go my way.

As I grew in my faith of the Lord and through attending church and being around learned Bible scholars I was taught that it was not about me and it was about Jesus.

Many times I wished for something foolish that I thought was good for me or my family only to find out Jesus knew better than I what I really needed.

Was I disappointed?

Yes, just as many of you are today! Did I think it would make a difference in my life if things were not the way I wanted them? Yes, just as many of us today continue to believe. Do I trust in the Lord to see me through and pray to Him for continued guidance? Yes, because I know the end result of this time on earth is eternal life with my Lord and Savior.

Since we know where our eternal heritance is going to be and who it is going to be with, then why do we fret so much and become so bothered by problems that face us on earth? They will be short lived and overcome unless Jesus is not in control and Savior of our life.

We are told in Psalm 142:3; “When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who know my way.

In the path where I walk men have hidden a snare

Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday – Psalm 142:1-7; Monday – Ephesians 3:7-13; Tuesday – Exodus 6:1-12; Wednesday – 2 Corinthians 7:17; Thursday – Isaiah 38:15-20; Friday –Romans 4:18-22; Saturday – Lamentations 1:8-22. for me.”

This earthly life is always going to have challenges and disappointments.

Whether it’s an unexpected illness, a financial crisis, or other issues and our life seems to be hopeless and without help, we know that our hope is in God’s grace and He will see us through.

All of our anxiety will be overcome if we talk to the Lord and give Him all of our burdens.

Our hope and future is not on this earth but in our heavenly home with Jesus. If we will stay focused on this then all of our days will always be good and bring a better tomorrow.

Prayer: Thank you Lord for the assurance of you being with me each and every moment of my life. I pray for guidance that I will never forget you are in control and all I need to do is listen to your voice. Amen.

(Daily Corinthian columnist Gary Andrews is a native of Alcorn County and a retired newspaper publisher from Yazoo City.)

Talking this week with our older daughter Heather, I listened as she described some of the mission trip she and her husband Keith made with Kossuth Baptist Church to Utah last week.

I heard about the successes and the sweet fellowship with the children during their VBS sessions and picnics in the park.

But then she described part of their trip back home when they drove through Indian reservations in northern Arizona and New Mexico.

It broke her heart to see the land, much of it uncultivatable and barren.

As they saw small stands in the middle of nowhere that provided a place for the Native Americans to sell whatever they may have been able to make, she was so moved by how hard their plight must have been through the years.

“What were they (our leaders of yesteryear) thinking when they forced the Indians to move to such a desolate area?” Heather said. “I can’t believe these people were treated that way!”

I agreed with her, and as she talked, I was reminded of how many times my brother Lenard has made vacation trips out west and has gone through Indian territory and took time to stop and ponder the hard times these folks have had And my nephew Ples could probably write a book about the many times he has watched his dad read the displays and listen to the stories about

the different tribes.

Together they have looked at the monuments Lora Ann honoring Huff the “red men” who Back Porch fought to maintain their way of life.

Ples could probably take you there without a road map and not miss a turn.

This week being the time Americans celebrate the anniversary of our “Declaration of Independence” from the mother country, I had to wonder just what the American Indians must have thought when they first heard about the “Fourth of July.” How did they feel when our forefathers celebrated being independent of foreign rule when, at the same time, the Indians had been shoved across the Mississippi River and out of their native territory?

History tells how the natives taught the “white man” how to grow crops so they wouldn’t starve as they established thriving colonies. How did the newcomers allow greed to get in the way of that friendship?

It surely must have been a gradual process, as pride slowly worked its way into the hearts of a new generation and caused them to want more and more – instead of being satisfied to live in peace with the folks who were here before them.

It’s mindboggling to

read the short history clips about the Native Americans’ plight, and I’m sure the long version would break our hearts.

A president would promise something and then go back on his word a few months later and the story continued.

They finally gained American citizenship and some federal support, but in the 1950’s, their services became the responsibility of the individual states.

Then, if my source is correct, between 1952 and 1956, as much as 1.6 million acres of Native American land was sold to developers. The more I read, the sicker I got!

When President Obama was in office, the Indians finally got some positive feedback, and at least $492 million in lawsuit settlements with 17 American Indian tribes were made. The federal government had allegedly improperly managed their lands and money for too long. Several other advances were made to help the Indians, causing them to say this

was the first president to ever keep his promise to them.

American Indians fought to defend our country in World War I and the wars thereafter, playing an especially important role in WWII when the Navajo Code Talkers made up communication codes to confuse the Japanese soldiers, giving the U.S. military the upper hand.

And I read that most of the American Indian tribes do celebrate Independence Day with the rest of our citizens, while including their own traditions and dances. … So I don’t often like to think about the mistreatment of the Indians, but Heather’s observation made me reflect on some of the history. I have decided that American history should be taken much more seriously in our schools – otherwise, we may soon be guilty of repeating more of our past mistakes!

THE PIED PIPER OF PRIDE When a person says, “I’m proud to be an American!”, what do they mean? Do they mean they are grateful for the freedoms, opportunities, and security our government provides? If so, then this person has not yet committed the sin of pride listed (among other sins) in verses like Romans 1:30 and II Timothy 3:2.

The word translated “pride” (KJV) in these verses means “showing oneself above others” and is used in the New Testament in the evil sense of “arrogant, disdainful, haughty” (Luke 1:51). It is the extreme opposite of humility, so let us remember that “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (Jas. 4:6; I Pet. 5:5).

This kind of pride is the enemy of humble submission and repentance, and without repentance none of us sinners shall be saved (Luke 13:3;Jas. 4:8-10; Titus 2:11-13). Strife or contention, shame or dishonor, destruction, and stumbling are examples of the kind of rats that follow the Pied Piper of pride (Prov. 11:2;13:10;16:18), but honor, wisdom, and spiritual victory are the sweet and precious fruits of humility (Prov. 15:33;29:23; I Pet. 5:6).

The strongest man who ever lived--the man who was given by His Father “the name which is above every name” (Phil. 2:8-10)--was humble,gentle, and lowly (Matt. 11:29), and if we expect to live and reign with Him in eternity, we must imitate Him the best that we can (Jas. 3:16-18; Matt. 5:5). Some incorrectly conclude that meekness is weakness, but again, the truth is, humble people are the strongest people on planet earth, and it is they who will be exalted (Luke 18:14).

If we are puffed up with pride we cannot see ourselves as we really are, at least not until we can humbly submit to the Word of God (Jas.1:25). Mr. Pride says, “I am rich. I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing,” but he does not realize that spiritually he is “wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked” (Rev. 3:17).

Humble people understand better than most what Paul meant when he said, “For when I am weak, then am I strong” (II Cor. 12:1-10). If we live long enough, physical infirmities, personal and family challenges, and various earthly distresses, eventually affect us all. Yet whatever circumstances move us to accept the reality of just how much we need the Lord (not to mention our brothers and sisters in the Lord) are circumstances that make us stronger (Jas. 1:2-3). We sincerely invite you to study and worship with us.

Too much time on social media WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I love technology. I embrace it and think that it adds value to my life and pushes the human race forward. However, I am not totally sure that my consumption of “social” media and constant use of my phone is a good thing.

I didn’t think of myself as overly addicted to my phone until recently. I saw a piece on “60 Minutes” about how some consumer software companies actively try to get users addicted to their applications via psychological cues, such as notifications and likes. I then read a piece in Fast Company about a freelancer who did a onemonth digital detox and saw his productivity skyrocket.

I realized that social media may have been making me feel bad about myself.

I was staring at doctored photos of the highlights of my “friends’” days. I don’t want to put unnecessary rules and limitations on myself, but I also don’t want to live my life staring at a screen and feeling jealous constantly.

How should I handle this? Ditch the iPhone for the flip phone? Delete Instagram from all mobile devices? Write a manifesto about how technology is slowly zapping our creativity? Or just give in and play another round of “Candy Crush”? — Digital

Dear Annie Dependence Dear Digital Dependence: More evidence surfaces each day of the negative impact our devices are having on us. When technology diminishes our relationships with loved ones and distracts us from the things that truly matter, it’s no longer a tool; it’s a toxin.

Fortunately, there are a few tricks you can try for cutting down on your internet use without moving to Walden and throwing your smartphone in the pond. One is to frequently change the way apps are laid out on your phone’s screen.

Another method is to keep your phone out of sight and out of mind for large chunks of time. Similarly, try turning off all notifications so you’re not constantly being lured into checking your accounts. If you need to be on your computer for work but don’t want to get distracted, try a program that blocks social media sites for a set amount

of time, such as SelfControl.

And if you’re reading this on your phone, put it down and go for a walk.

Dear Annie: I have read with interest many letters to you from mothers-inlaw about relationship issues with their daughtersin-law.

Most complain about the gals their sons married for numerous reasons. Just about every letter I have read contains a laundry list of all the faults these women have, and I’d like to share some needed wisdom with the MILs. Take a good hard look at yourself, Mom, before you decide to make your displeasure known and alienate this woman whom your son chose as a partner.

Ladies, if you want your son in your life — along with any potential grandkids — wake up. Get down off that high horse. Your boy is a man now; he has made his choice of a mate, and like it or not, you need to make peace with that.

Your son found something in this girl he needs.

If you can get over yourself, you just may have found a woman who can keep you close to your baby boy. — Daughter-in-Law Who Is Now a Mother-in-Law Dear DILWINAMIL: Words of wisdom. Inlaws, take note.
