A free gospel singing is scheduled for New Year’s Eve at the Corinth National Guard Armory. “This New Year’s Eve singing is for anyone who wants to come,” said promoter Randy Black. “We don’t care what church you are from. This is for anyone who would like to come out.” The singing will feature five gospel groups: Crossing Jordan Quartet, a Southern gospel vocal group from Tip-

residence and a vehicle there. Wheeler left the scene and was stopped a short time later by deputies from the Sheriﬀ’s Oﬃce. He is currently being held at the Alcorn County Jail. Bond has not been set at this time.

Dance. Oﬃcers seized approximately 1,000 grams of marijuana, 131 grams of cocaine, nine Hydrocodone pills, 30 Xanax pills and eight Adderall pills, along with drug paraphernalia. Dance said one of the seized firearms was stolen out of Benton County.

Area state parks offer an opportunity to put on the hiking boots and do something different on New Year’s Day. The annual First Day Hikes are part of a nationwide initiative among state parks to encourage people to get outdoors. The hikes are free and guided. The hike is a highlight of the season at Pickwick Landing State Park, where this year’s trek will begin at 2 p.m. at Trailhead near Cabin #9. “Our First Day Hikes are our most popular annual guided event statewide,” said Brock Hill, deputy commissioner for parks and conservation. “It’s a great way to start your New Year’s resolutions off right and see the wonder of our state during this beautiful season.” Along with the whole family, friendly dogs on a leash are welcome on the Pickwick hike, which is set to last an hour. For a longer excursion, Big Hill Pond State Park in southwest McNairy County offers a 5-mile Winter Wildlife Hike beginning at 3 p.m. and lasting until 6 p.m. It will start at the Turkey Call Trailhead leading to the boardwalk. Hikers might spy a deer, turkey, bobcat, duck or even a wild pig. The hikers will next go to the observation tower and watch the waterfowl fly in to the Travis McNatt Lake to roost. The park will serve hot chocolate

Police seize drugs, cash, firearms BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Police Department promises more to come after a large drug bust in the city last week. Police Chief Ralph Dance believes the narcotics division is making good progress and is not going to slow down. “If you are selling dope, you better relocate or retire, one or the other,” he said. “We’re coming after you. Methamphetamine is running wild in this city and county, and we’re fixing to hit them hard.” On Thursday afternoon, the department executed a search warrant at 2311 Martin Luther King Drive, seizing a large quantity of drugs, a couple of firearms and about $1,600 in cash. The resident, who was later picked up in Booneville, is Darnell

“If you are selling dope, you better relocate or retire, one or the other. We’re coming after you.

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi’s Republican-led Legislature and GOP Gov. Phil Bryant enacted a substantial package of tax cuts during their 2016 session, with reductions phased in over several years. But leaders are vague about whether they will propose other tax changes during the three-month 2017 session that begins Jan. 3. “I wouldn’t expect any major overhaul,” said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Joey Fillingane, R-Sumrall. Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jeﬀ Smith, RColumbus, said he and other House leaders are evaluating “several small areas of tinkering with taxes,” such as perhaps taxing professional services that are currently exempt. “The honest truth is we haven’t made any decisions,” Smith said. The 2016 package passed by lawmakers and signed by Bryant will phase out Missis-

“We don’t feel any pressure to get anything done right now, this year, within the next three months, anyway.” Philip Gunn House speaker sippi’s $260-million-a-year corporate franchise tax and cut $145 million in income taxes, raising the threshold for paying state income taxes to $10,000. Those reductions begin in 2018. The package will also lower self-employment taxes, cutting $10.2 million over three years beginning in 2017. A legislative group established in mid-2016 to study state finances heard presentations from economist Nicole Kaeding with the Tax Foundation, a Washington-based group that analyzes federal, state and local taxes. She said Mississippi could generate revenue by eliminating tax exemptions on goods such as

prescription drugs or services such as dog grooming. “In general, we want to look at having a broad-based sales tax,” Kaeding said in September. “This includes not only goods, but it also should be including services.” Sara Miller is a policy analyst for Mississippi-based Hope Policy Institute. In a blog post on the institute’s website in November, Miller wrote that state has a “particularly regressive” tax structure, including the 7 percent tax on groceries. “Shifting to user-based taxes based on how much you spend will further increase the amount that low-income families pay in taxes,” Miller

wrote. House Speaker Philip Gunn said legislative leaders are evaluating whether to propose tax changes in 2017. “We don’t feel any pressure to get anything done right now, this year, within the next three months, anyway,” Gunn said. Mississippi tax collections have fallen short of projections during the first half of the current state budget year that started July 1. However, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said he would not consider any proposal to delay the tax cut package enacted during the 2016 session. “My original proposal was to implement it over a 10year period starting in 2017. We pushed that back to 2018 at the request of the House of Representatives,” Reeves said. “And so I think if there were going to be any major changes over the next several years in that particular bill, it’s likely to be regarding a faster implementation and not a slower implementation.”

Judge rejects ex-corrections chief’s request to leave jail BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — A federal judge on Friday rejected a plea from Mississippi’s former corrections commissioner to release him from jail until his May 24 sentencing. U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate revoked Christopher Epps’ bail on Nov. 4 after Epps was charged with stealing outdoor lights and a control box from the house he forfeited to the federal government. Epps testified that he mistakenly took the lights because he didn’t understand or forgot he could no longer remove be-

longings. But in his written order, Wingate indicated that he didn’t believe Epps’ claim that he acted mistakenly. “Epps knew that he had no lawful right to enter that house that night and remove any items,” the judge wrote. John Colette, Epps’ lawyer, had argued his client is not a flight risk and that Wingate could set conditions assuring Epps would appear for sentencing and not threaten community safety. The longtime leader of Mississippi’s prison system pleaded guilty in February 2015 to money laundering and filing

false tax returns, in connection with a bribery scheme that netted Epps more than $1.4 million over five years. He faces up to 23 years in prison and has forfeited $1.7 million in assets, including the Flowood house he returned to Oct. 27 to remove the lights. Wingate noted Epps returned the night before a new owner took possession of the house and didn’t inform authorities of what he did. Although Wingate wrote that he concluded Epps’ new house in Flowood wasn’t purchased with bribe money, he still questioned the $5,000 in

cash of “unknown” origin that Epps took to the Flowood police station to post bail upon his arrest. “This court, then, is still persuaded that Epps violated his bond conditions and that there exists no condition or combination of conditions of release that would assure that the defendant will not pose a danger to any other person or the community,” Wingate wrote. It’s unclear where Epps is jailed. He’s not listed in records at the Madison County jail, where federal prisoners in central Mississippi are usually confined.

Today in History

Daily Corinthian • 3A

Across the Region

Today is Wednesday, Dec. 28, the 363rd day of 2016. There are three days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 28, 1846, Iowa became the 29th state to be admitted to the Union.

On this date: In 1832, John C. Calhoun became the first vice president of the United States to resign, stepping down because of differences with President Andrew Jackson. In 1917, the New York Evening Mail published “A Neglected Anniversary,” a facetious essay by H.L. Mencken supposedly recounting the history of bathtubs in America. In 1945, Congress officially recognized the Pledge of Allegiance. In 1961, the Tennessee Williams play “Night of the Iguana” opened on Broadway. Former first lady Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, the second wife of President Woodrow Wilson, died at age 89. In 1973, the book “Gulag Archipelago,” Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s expose of the Soviet prison system, was first published in Paris. In 1981, Elizabeth Jordan Carr, the first American “test-tube” baby, was born in Norfolk, Virginia. In 1989, Alexander Dubcek, the former Czechoslovak Communist leader who was deposed in a Soviet-led Warsaw Pact invasion in 1968, was named president of the country’s parliament. In 1991, nine people died in a crush of people trying to get into a rap celebrity basketball game at City College in New York.

Iuka woman charged with grand larceny

Christmas wrecks drop in north Mississippi

TISHOMINGO COUNTY — Tishomingo County Sheriff’s deputies recently arrested a Iuka woman for grand larceny. In the early morning hours of Dec. 22, the sheriff’s department responded to a residence in Burnsville around the Highway 365 area in reference to a vehicle being stolen. Deputies spoke with the owner of the vehicle, who informed them that the stolen vehicle had a firearm inside as well as some Christmas presents for his family. The deputies took all the information pertaining to the vehicle and the firearm and filed a report as well as place the stolen goods on NCIC (National Crime Information Center) database. Later that morning, Prentiss County Sheriff’s deputies contacted the Tishomingo Sheriff’s Department that they had located the stolen vehicle off a side road of Highway 365 South, in Prentiss County. Prentiss County officials informed the Tishomingo Sheriff’s Department that a hunter spotted the vehicle in question, stuck in a ditch with a female driver slumped over the wheel. The hunter contacted 911 and Prentiss County Sheriff’s deputies arrived on scene and took possession of the vehicle, the driver and located the reported stolen firearm. Tishomingo Sheriff’s Investigators arrived on scene and took possession of the vehicle, firearm and the driver from Prentiss County Sheriff officials. The vehicle and firearm was released back to the original owner and the Christmas presents were still located in the vehicle unharmed. The driver, 26-year-old Angelina Maria Wiginton of 1209 Ash Street in Iuka, was transported to the Tishomingo County Jail. She has been officially charged with grand larceny and is awaiting bond to be set.

NEW ALBANY — The number of wrecks on the states larger roads dropped significantly this Christmas. According to the Mississippi Highway Patrol, troopers worked a total of 141 motor vehicle crashes statewide over the Christmas holiday period, which ended Monday night at midnight. During Christmas 2015, troopers worked 250 crashes on state highways, federal highways and interstates While the number of wrecks were down, there were three fatalities, all in north Mississippi. Two men died early Christmas Eve in Lee County when their car left Highway 371 and hit a tree in the Richmond community. A Southaven man was killed before dawn Saturday when he was struck by a car while walking along the eastbound lane of Interstate 22 between Byhalia and Olive Branch. Both crashes remain under investigation by the Mississippi Highway Patrol. Statewide, MHP issued 4661 citations with 73 DUI arrests. Troopers based in Batesville, New Albany and Starkville wrote a total of 1,118 tickets. That total includes 28 for driving under the influence and 66 for seat belt or child restraint violations.

McNairy County Commissioner reminds people to get flu shots MCNAIRY COUNTY, Tenn. — It’s that time of year. As many are mingling with large numbers of people while shopping, attending parties, participating in religious celebrations or traveling, the risk for encountering someone infected with influenza increases. At the same time, the influenza virus is beginning to affect more people as the winter flu season approaches its peak weeks for infection in McNairy Tennessee.

‘‘We all want to protect the people we love, and as we approach the time when risk for influenza infection is greatest, don’t we want to make sure we don’t give anyone a preventable illness?’’ said TDH Commissioner John Dreyzehner, MD, MPH. ‘‘Life-saving flu vaccine is so easy to get and is available all over. It’s not too late to put it on your list as a gift that really honors the sacred spirit of this wonderful season.’’ “The annual influenza virus season is really just beginning in Tennessee, so getting a flu shot now can still help your body build immunity against this common viral infection, ‘‘ said Kelly Moore, MD, director of the Tennessee Immunization Program. “While some may think the flu is nothing more than a bad cold, that’s not the case : it can be deadly. Each year we see Tennesseans lose family members and friends to influenza. We urge those who have not yet received their vaccine to go to a county health department, their healthcare provider or a pharmacy to get a flu shot now.” To find a county health department near you, visit: http://tn.gov/health/topic/ localdepartments. There is a sliding-fee scale for the vaccine at health departments. You may be eligible for free or reduced cost influenza vaccine. Many insurance plans cover the immunization at no charge while many clinicians and pharmacies offer it at minimal cost to those without health insurance. “Unlike some vaccines that provide years of protection, the flu vaccine is regularly updated to protect against new strains and must be given each season,’’ Moore said. ‘‘If you haven’t had a flu shot in the last six months, it’s time to get this season’s flu vaccine now. We believe this year’s vaccine will be effective against flu strains now circulatiing.’’ Jan Beville, MD, Medical Director for TDH Division of Community Health Services said people who get the vaccine help to protect not just themselves, but others who may not be able to get immunized.

Opinion

Mark Boehler, 4A • Wednesday, December 28, 2016 editor Corinth, Miss.

‘Normal’ is the real threat to Trump Donald Trump was supposed to take over the Republican Party, but the question going forward will be whether the Republican Party takes over him. So far the legislative agenRich da of Republicans after the Lowry Trump revolution is shaping up to be what you would have National expected prior to the Trump Review revolution. It’s a cookie-cutter GOP program that any Republican who ran for president in the past 40 years would feel comfortable signing, with its centerpiece being another round of tax cuts. It’s not that Trump didn’t campaign on all of this over the past year. His candidacy combined utterly conventional Republican positions with a few signature policy heterodoxies and a flame-throwing populist message. If it’s comforting that he doesn’t seem intent on waging war on his own party in Washington, the opposite risk is that he loses some of his political distinctiveness in the grinding legislative wars to come. This is why the Democratic approach to Trump so far, besides being insane, is wrongheaded. The Democrats are preparing to fight what they consider a kleptocratic handmaiden of Vladimir Putin, an unprecedented threat to the American republic that justifies cockamamie schemes like calling for the Electoral College to ignore the results of the election. There is no doubt that Trump is unlike any prior president. But Democrats will in all likelihood find their opposition to Trump running in a familiar rut -- Republicans are heartless tools of corporations and the wealthy. They don’t care if people lose their health insurance. They are cutting taxes for the rich. They are deregulating bankers. Etc., etc. This is the critique that Hillary Clinton didn’t make of Trump, opting instead to emphasize his outlandishness. In this vein, liberals are now resisting “normalizing” Trump, when they should be perfectly content to normalize him. It’s possible to see the case already building. The candidate who issued thunderous jeremiads during the campaign against a globalized elite that had literally stolen from small-town America has assembled a Cabinet that by and large could have been put together by Ted Cruz, or for that matter, Mitt Romney. Then there’s the congressional agenda. The early indications are that Republicans will pass a partial repeal of Obamacare out of the gate that could further destabilize the law’s exchanges and lead to people losing insurance. Next, congressional Republicans want to move on to large-scale tax reform. The starting point will likely be House Speaker Paul Ryan’s already well-developed plan for across-theboard income-tax cuts and a lower corporate tax rate. For all its merit, Ryan’s reform could have been incubated by any conservative think tank before anyone imagined Trump might run for president, let alone win. What’s the point in having a populist Republican in the White House if congressional Republicans can’t find a way to couple some replacement measures with their Obamacare repeal to give people other options for getting health insurance? Or if congressional Republicans can’t make their tax plan more oriented toward the middle class, perhaps including a cut in payroll taxes? All of this is subject to change, and Trump can potentially blow up the best-laid plans of congressional Republicans with one tweet. Of course, Trump will be heard from on infrastructure, trade and immigration, where he is in a diﬀerent place than much of his party. Neither wing of the GOP may like it, but the Reaganites and the populists are now in an uneasy alliance. It behooves the champions of a highly traditional Republican platform to think about what Trump’s victory means and to be more mindful than in the past of the interests of working-class voters. And it behooves Trump to consider the responsibilities of governing. There is a balance to be struck. The Republican establishment may welcome a more “normal” Trump, but so, in the end, will Democrats.

Prayer for today Lord God, I pray that my estimate of life may not be as I take it, but as thou hast given it for peace and prosperity. Teach me my duty to my country, and make me useful in uplifting and serving humanity. Amen.

A verse to share Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. —Psalm 55:22

Disarming citizens would be dangerous Sometimes someone inadvertently performs a public service by bringing an unbelievably stupid and dangerous idea to the surface, where it can be exposed for what it is. The New York Times can be credited -- if that is the word -- with performing this public service in a recent editorial against proposals to allow law-abiding citizens to carry concealed guns. They refer to what they call the National Rifle Association’s “fantasy that citizens can stand up to gunmen by shooting it out.” Nobody has suggested any such thing. Data collected over many years -- but almost never seeing the light of day in the New York Times or the rest of the mainstream media -- show many thousands of examples of people defending themselves with a gun each year, without having to pull the trigger. If someone comes at you with a knife and you pull out a gun, chances are they will stop. The only time I ever pointed a gun at a human being, it was when someone was sneaking up toward me from behind a shed in the middle of the night. I never fired a shot. I just pointed the gun at him and told him to stop. He stopped. Actually having to shoot someone is the exception,

not the rule. Yet the New York Times conjures up a vision of something like the gunThomas fight at the Sowell OK Corral. Concealed Columnist guns protect not only those who carry them but also those who do not. If concealed guns become widespread, then a mugger or a car jacker has no way of knowing who has one and who does not. It makes being a mugger or a car jacker a less safe occupation. Gun control laws are in eﬀect occupational safety laws -- OSHA for burglars, muggers, car jackers and others. The fatal fallacy of gun control laws in general is the assumption that such laws actually control guns. Criminals who disobey other laws are not likely to be stopped by gun control laws. What such laws actually do is increase the number of disarmed and defenseless victims. Mass shootings are often used as examples of a need for gun control. But what puts a stop to mass shootings? Usually the arrival on the scene of somebody else with a gun. Mass shooters are often

portrayed as “irrational” people engaged in “senseless” acts. But mass shooters are usually rational enough to attack schools, churches and other places where there is far less likelihood of someone being on the scene who is armed. Seldom do we hear about these “irrational” shooters engaging in “senseless” attacks on meetings of the National Rifle Association or a local gun show or a National Guard armory. The fallacy of believing that the way to reduce shootings is to disarm peaceful people extends from domestic gun control laws to international disarmament agreements. If disarmament agreements reduced the dangers of war, there would never have been a World War II. The decades leading up to that war were filled with international disarmament agreements. As with domestic gun control laws, the agreements were followed by peaceful countries and ignored by belligerent countries that built up huge war machines, such as in Nazi Germany and imperial Japan. The net result was that the belligerent countries had every incentive to start wars, and that they inflicted devastating losses on the peace-

ful countries that had drastically curtailed their own military forces. Eventually the Western democracies got their act together and turned things around, after they belatedly beefed up their military forces. But thousands of lives were lost needlessly before that happened. World War II was in its third year before Western forces won a single battle. Undaunted by history, the same kind of thinking that had cheered international disarmament treaties in the 1920s and 1930s once again cheered Soviet-American disarmament agreements during the Cold War. Conversely, there was hysteria when President Ronald Reagan began building up American military forces in the 1980s. Cries were heard that he was leading us toward nuclear war. In reality, he led us toward an end of the Cold War, without a shot being fired at the Soviet Union. But who reads history these days, or checks facts before leading the charge to keep law-abiding people disarmed?

Columnist offers advice to fellow pundits Now that the 538 electors have voted, we can marvel at how such a huge diﬀerence in public policies can be made by just a few votes, the 77,744 votes by which Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton for the 46 electoral votes in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. Trump’s narrow victory means a significantly more conservative Supreme Court, a rollback of Obamacare and reams of regulations, abandonment of policies disfavoring fossil fuel usage -- and hundreds of consequences that can only be guessed at. This isn’t the first time this has happened. If Al Franken had not been ruled the winner of the 2008 U.S. Senate race in Minnesota by 302 votes, there would have been no 60th vote to push through Obamacare in 2010. And let’s not start relitigating the count in Florida in the 2000 presidential race. Our political system is one that produces big policy consequences from little, even microscopic, vote margins. This has been strengthened in recent decades by increasing partisan polarization. A half-century ago,

political scientists said we should have one clearly liberal and one clearly conMichael s e r v a t i v e Barone party -- and boy, did they Columnist get their wish. But binary choices, with sharply varying consequences, tend to be characteristic of two-party politics. And we have a two-party politics, which incentivizes each party to aim for more than 50 percent of the vote. That helps bind together a disparate country, but it also emphasizes what divides us. Christmastime and the holiday season may be a good time to provide some suggestions for how commentators and citizens can go forward at a time when, even more than usual, narrow margins seem to be producing widely diﬀerent outcomes. One suggestion is inspired by social media accounts of how distraught Clinton-supporting parents are explaining Trump’s victory to their disappointed (but probably less distraught) children.

And that is to back up and do the explanation the other way. Explain beforehand to your children how a good person could support the candidate you, for good reasons of your own, oppose. What values are other good people trying to advance? Why do they think their choice would be good for the country? Going through this exercise won’t change your mind. But it could change your view. And it might be a good idea for pundits like me to make a point of doing this more often. Good people do disagree. It’s one of our jobs to understand why. A second suggestion is directed at the punditocracy especially -- and maybe to people beyond. And that is that it’s a good time to stop playing team ball. Over much of the past 20 years, there’s been a close alignment between the views of liberal commentators and elected Democrats and those of conservative commentators and elected Republicans. That’s less likely in the near future. There’s clearly a gulf between Trump’s views and those of many conservatives and elected Repub-

licans. And with no incumbent Democratic president, liberals will have no single leader setting an agenda. Back when I started reading about politics, National Review was ambivalent about Richard Nixon, and the New Republic was repeatedly critical of John F. Kennedy. Both magazines did less cheerleading and had more interesting things to say than many counterparts have had lately. Let’s have more of that now. The third suggestion is: Don’t get strung out on process arguments -- for example, the recent brouhaha about the Electoral College. Everyone knows that if Trump had a plurality in the popular vote and Clinton a majority of electoral votes, Democrats would have argued that Democratic electors should vote for her. It’s an illustration of one of my long-standing rules of politics: All process arguments are insincere.

Check-in time for hotel stocks The postelection rally has been good to much of the stock market, and many hotel operators are no exception. Investors are betting that President-elect Donald Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress will implement business-friendly policies that will kick U.S. economic growth into high gear. Some hotel stocks could see as much as a 15 percent gain next year if the economy accelerates as much as investors predict, according to a report by Canaccord Genuity analyst Ryan Meliker. The analyst notes that consensus forecasts call for U.S. gross domestic product growth to accelerate from 1.9 percent this year to 2.4 percent in 2017.

Meliker forecasts that Apple Hospitality REIT, Summit Hotel Properties and other hotel owners with locations in both big and small cities will see stronger growth in revenue per available room than less geographically diversified operators. Still, Meliker notes that there could be a near-term pullback in hotel stocks next year before they shift higher. “We believe stock picking will be critical across the group as relative performance within the group is likely to be much wider than typical,” Meliker wrote. Here’s a snapshot of three hotel stocks that received a “Buy” rating from Canaccord Genuity. Meliker believes each will have outsized returns next year:

MARKET SUMMARY G

Sales pickup?

Retail sales monitor

Home sales and prices have been helped by healthy demand, tight supplies and low, if rising, mortgage rates. A tally of pending home sales contracts in November, due out today, can give an indication of whether home sales will continue to rise the next month or two. The National Association of Realtors’ pending home sales index edged higher in October as more buyers signed contracts to purchase homes for the second month in a row.

A gauge of sales at U.S. retail chains is due out today. The International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs Retail Chain Store Index has been mixed since early November and through much of the holiday shopping season. The index tracks sales at retailers, but excludes sales related to restaurants or vehicle purchases. It measures sales at comparable locations, typically stores open at least a year.

It’s time to talk turkey to freeloading relatives D E A R ABBY: It has happened again, another stressful, unpleasant Thanksgiving for me. My Abigail husband has Van Buren out-of-town relatives who fly in using Dear Abby frequent flier miles. They get picked up from the airport on arrival and returned to the airport for departure. They spend a week here eating, drinking and being entertained. NEVER ONCE have they offered to buy any food, help with meals or take us out for dinner. If we go out for a meal, it is always our treat. They brag nonstop about how much money they are saving, and they could well afford to be gracious. This has been happening for 15 years. They invite themselves. I do NOT enjoy their company. My husband is aware of how I feel, but has asked me to tolerate them because they are the only blood relatives he’s in contact with outside of our family. I am left to do the laundry and cleaning after they leave. They have a nice vacation, and I feel

used and abused. How can I get rid of them and still keep peace in the family? -- FED UP WITH FREELOADERS DEAR FED UP: If your husband insists on entertaining these users because of his blood relationship, you should allow him to do it. If you’re feeling magnanimous, welcome them warmly and tell them you’re sorry you can’t spend more time with them, but you are leaving to visit: your grown children, your parents, your dear old school chum(s). Perhaps when your husband has to shoulder all of the responsibility for those awful people, he will realize the extent to which he is being used and find the courage to tell them what he expects of them the next time they visit. You have suffered enough. DEAR ABBY: My fiance and I have been planning our wedding for two years. Both of us are working our butts off at two jobs to pay for all the elaborate details. It will, after all, be the most beautiful day of my life. My fiance’s sister just got engaged and I’m happy for her. But now she’s talking about having her wedding “around the same time as ours” to make it convenient for our distant relatives. My concern is that they’re going to “steal our moment.”

I feel very hurt, but I’m not sure how to approach her because I don’t want to cause conflict. It would make so much more sense for them to be married the following year. On the other hand, it’s their prerogative to do it whenever they want. Am I being unreasonable? -- UNREASONABLE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR UNREASONABLE: Every bride -- or almost every bride -- fantasizes that her wedding day will be the most beautiful day of her life. Whether or not your fiance’s sister has her wedding around that time will not detract from yours in the slightest -- and it shouldn’t be a contest anyway. Frankly, the idea of sparing the relatives the expense of traveling to a second wedding makes sense. However, if you cannot accept this, then perhaps you should consider postponing your wedding for another year. Look at the bright side: If you do, you will have 12 months of extra income, and your wedding can be even more elaborate.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re becoming more intentional in these last days of the year. You’ll measure the things that matter to you. Time is your greatest resource. A little selfdiscipline is all that’s needed to work the clock in your favor. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Come from a place of curiosity. You can afford it. Relax and think of a different question you could be asking. If nothing comes to you, escape to new environs and see if that doesn’t inspire a new mindset. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What was a chore to learn is becoming increasingly exciting to know, now that you understand it better. Keep seeking knowledge. You’ll soon meet people who share your enthusiasm for the subject. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can’t control other people, so you focus on you. This will be positive as long as you realize that there’s really nothing to fix about yourself, just something to accept.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll have some fun as you take on a challenge with a small team. New people in the group will highlight different characteristics of your loved ones, giving you a new angle to appreciate them from. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Whatever happened before, leave it in the land of before. Future-you is still to be determined. You’re the determiner. You will be what you make of yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Everyone has felt the sting of exclusion and rejection -- hard but a kind of rite of passage for humans. If you can soften it for someone you will. Laughing about the past, or holding hands in the present -- that’s you now. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do you ever go on social media and find yourself being quite mean about it? You wouldn’t leave bad comments, but you might think them. There’s something cathartic in the thought process, and as long as you

don’t act on it, you’re golden. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). How well should they understand you? This is the question of the day. You have surprises and mysteries inside you. How much do you really want to communicate now? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Is this person difficult to get to know? You’ll have to work harder to crack the code, that’s all. Only you can determine if it’s really worthwhile, although the challenge in and of itself will probably be enough for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Because you are such a fantastic listener you will understand even those who have difficulty communicating. You will find a way to help them and perhaps make an accidental profit, too. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your affection toward those you love cannot be masked. Others are secretly envious of the attention you lavish on your nearest and dearest, and today they may make a play for your interest.

But there were three races in particular that Stewart badly wanted to win but didnâ€™t. â€œI would be lying if I said I wasnâ€™t disappointed that I didnâ€™t win a Daytona 500, a Southern 500 and most of all an Indy 500,â€? he said. â€œBut, I look at it, and look at where I was when I was 15 years old and 18 years old, I never even thought I would get a chance to race those races, let alone in all three of them and have opportunities to win the race. â€œIn a perfect world, yes, I would have loved to be able to cross those three off the list. But at the same time, I look at the big picture and it was pretty [darn] cool to just have the opportunity to go race those races.â€? It was ďŹ tting that on the same Sunday that Stewart drove in what is in all likelihood his ďŹ nal Cup race, his fellow driver Jimmie Johnson, with whom he shares a great mutual respect, won his seventh title. After the race, Johnson presented Stewart with the helmet he wore that Sunday. â€œItâ€™s been a friendship that has kind of been behind the scenes away from everybody,â€? Stewart said. â€œWe have a lot of respect for each other.â€?

The 2016 Sprint Cup season was one for the record books. Several drivers, including Martin Truex Jr., Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano, Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch, won multiple races. But when it was all said and done after the season ďŹ nale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, the most signiďŹ cant stories of the year involved drivers destined to be ranked among the sportâ€™s all-time great ďŹ gures. Jimmie Johnson won his seventh Cup title, tying him atop the all-time champions list with Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt.

Many a track on the Sprint Cup circuit has a holiday lights display, but Martinsville Speedway has a special â€œLight Up Martinsvilleâ€? project that will add a new, permanent element to the track as it celebrates its 70th anniversary. The track is installing the LED lighting needed to host nighttime races. Although there are no current plans to run a night Cup race at the half-mile oval in southern Virginia, there will be night races for other divisions, including Late Models. And the track will have the capability to finish a Cup race under the lights should the event run late due to weather or some other issue. The first of 19 light poles were put in place last Tuesday. â€œItâ€™s a big day for Martinsville,â€? track president Clay Campbell said in a news release. â€œWho would have ever thought we would have had lights here? For a long time, that was not really in the cards. â€œWeâ€™re excited to finally have the lights going up. I think itâ€™s going to be an exciting year being our 70th anniversary.â€? Campbell said the project, the first LED lights at a motorsports facility, is on schedule and should be completed around the end of January. The first scheduled race under the lights will be the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 NASCAR Late Model Stock Car race next fall.

NASCAR and Monster Energy, the new title sponsor of the elite series recently known as Sprint Cup, last week unveiled the new logo and name for the series. It will be called the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series beginning next year. The new logo includes Monsterâ€™s familiar image on top of a modified version of the old NASCAR insignia. â€œOur new NASCAR mark is modern, timeless and embraces the heritage of our sport,â€? Jill Gregory, NASCARâ€™s senior vice president and chief marketing officer said in a news release. â€œIt was important for us to recognize our history and implement a piece of each previous mark in the new design. Our goal was to evolve the sportâ€™s visual identity to make it concise, relevant and functional, while respecting and maintaining the unique qualities of the original mark.â€? In addition to being the title sponsor of NASCARâ€™s top series, Monster Energy will be the named sponsor of the NASCAR All-Star Race and the sportâ€™s official energy drink.

ACHS splits at Peggy Bain Hoops Classic BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Day one of the 10th Annual Peggy Bain Holiday Hoops Tournament at Alcorn Central was a huge success and featured over 20 schools from three states. This is actually the fourth year for Peggy Bain’s name to be attached to this tournament. Exactly five years ago, Bain passed away and left a long and prosperous legacy in Glen. Her daughter Charlette Foster, in her 11th year as head coach of the Lady Bears, is an Alcorn Central icon. She played and starred at ACHS from 1978-81 and later played and was a standout for the Blue Mountain Lady Toppers. Another element associated with this tournament that is

becoming more well-known every year is the scholarship program for two ACHS students yearly: one young man and one young lady. They can be involved with sports, dance, cheerleading, etc. and must write an essay on what this tournament means to them and the legacy Bain left. Foster’s family chooses the winner and sher only gets involved in case of a tie. The tournament this year involves three area schools and they were all in action on Tuesday.

(G) Alcorn Central 72, Mantachie 65 The Lady Bears represented well in their home gym as they trailed briefly against the Lady Mustangs but rallied to pull out a 72-65 victory. “We played pretty well to-

day,” Foster said after her squad improved to 6-8. “We led by as many as 14 in the second half but we let them (Mantachie) back in it. But we finished strong and I’m proud of that.” The Lady Mustangs led by the slimmest of margins, 12-11, after the first quarter. However, the second period has ocassionally proved to be a good one for Central, and it was again on Tuesday. ACHS outscored MHS 20-9 over that time frame to take a comfortable 31-21 halftime lead. Alluding to Foster’s comments about allowing Mantachie to get back in the game, the Lady Mustangs hit a hot streak and pulled to within three before the Lady Bears put the flames out and pulled away late.

McKinley Montgomery was a one-player highlight reel for Mantachie as she led all scorers with 31. Malory Wigginton once again paced Central with 28 while Alexus Lainez finished with 11. The Lady Bears will play Byhalia Wednesday in the winners bracket.

(B) Mantachie 80, Alcorn Central 64 The homestanding Bears lost their game in the first quarter on the way to falling 80-64 to Mantachie. The Mustangs literally raced to an early 26-8 advantage after the first eight minutes and coach Mike Lewis’ Central squad never recovered. After falling behind 48-27 Please see SPLITS | 11A

Bama’s Scrooge-like defense faces Huskies’ test The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Even when Jonathan Allen praises Alabama’s defense, he does so with a caveat making it clear that now is not the time to lower the standard. The top-ranked Crimson Tide once again has staked a claim to having the nation’s most Scrooge-like group with a host of All-Americans, national awards and the rare defense with stats that can actually be called gaudy.

“When we’re focused doing our job, executing, communicating, running to the ball, having fun, we feel like we can be the best ever,” Allen, Alabama’s All-America defensive end, said Tuesday. “But if we’re not doing our job, guys aren’t communicating — just not doing our job — I mean, anybody can win the ball game. So I feel like it’s in our hands.” And that’s just the way ‘Bama likes it. The Tide de-

fense faces a significant challenge against No. 4 Washington Saturday in the Peach Bowl, a national semifinal game. Alabama leads the nation in scoring, total and rushing defense. Led by quarterback Jake Browning and wide receiver John Ross, the Huskies are fourth nationally in scoring oﬀense. Alabama faced the national leader Western Kentucky in Game 2 (winning

38-10) but the next-highest scoring opponent since then was Tennessee, at No. 24. Tide defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt said his team hasn’t faced a comparable offense among the first 13 opponents. It was his answer when family asked him over the Christmas break, and when reporters posed the question a couple of days later. Please see TEST | 11A

Rookie stars want wins, even with Cowboys secure atop conference The Associated Press

FRISCO, Texas — Dak Prescott can help the Dallas Cowboys set a franchise record with 14 wins. Ezekiel Elliott could break Eric Dickerson’s 33-yearold rookie rushing record with a career high and a few more yards. Other than that, Dallas doesn’t have much on the line in the regular-season finale at Philadelphia on Sunday. The Cowboys (13-2) are guaranteed the best record in the NFC, and the home-field advantage that goes with it, after beating the Detroit Lions 42-21 . Prescott just wants to keep playing, and it’s not because of that franchise mark or because he could break the record he now shares with Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger for most wins by a rookie quarterback (13). “I want to play every game,” said Prescott, whose 11-game winning streak put Tony Romo on the bench when the 10year starter returned from a preseason back injury. “I want to keep this momentum going. Any rep I can get is making myself better and I want to take advantage of those.” Prescott is 47 of 56 passing for 491 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in two games since his worst as a pro in a 10-7 loss to the New York Giants. He has 23 touchdowns with just four interceptions and has risen to fifth on the NFL’s rookie passing yardage list with 3,630 yards. If he plays long enough against the last-place Eagles (6-9), he needs 110 yards to pass Peyton Manning, who had 3,739 yards for Indianapolis in 1998. Owner Jerry Jones said he isn’t worried about Prescott getting injured. “Look at what Dak Prescott learned tonight and what’s now in his computer that wasn’t there before tonight,” Jones said. “With him being a rookie, we really need all these reps he can get, including any reps we get this week and next week, because we want him to be as educated

and as well-prepared and have as much experience as he can when we get in the playoffs.” Prescott was reminded after the Lions game that Oakland’s Derek Carr and Tennessee’s Marcus Mariota had their seasons end with broken legs in Week 16. “It’s football,” Prescott said. “You think about those things, they happen. You’re just reacting and playing ball. You have to take those chances.” Jones has a different view on the injury issue with Romo, who hasn’t played since Thanksgiving last year. The question is whether he needs snaps in a game to be better prepared to replace an injured Prescott in the playoffs. Coach Jason Garrett hasn’t addressed the question of whether Romo will play. “We don’t feel like we can gain anything from him running a few plays or a series of plays or several plays,” Jones said. “It would not be worth the risk.” Elliott is more cautious than his rookie roommate, saying there’s a “bigger purpose” than the NFL rushing leader reaching Dickerson’s mark of 1,808 yards from 1983. The former Ohio State star has 1,631 yards and would need 178 against the Eagles. He had his career high of 159 in Week 15 against Tampa Bay. But that doesn’t mean Elliott’s approach is any different from Prescott’s. The Cowboys weren’t holding back either, using a trick play against Detroit to get receiver Dez Bryant his first career touchdown pass on a reverse pitch and throw to tight end Jason Witten. “We want to go out and win ballgames every week,” said Elliott, who has the third-highest rookie rushing total behind Dickerson and George Rogers (1,674 with New Orleans in 1981). “We don’t care if we have the playoff spot clinched. We don’t care if we have home field clinched. We just want to win ballgames.”

The Bobcats squandered a narrow 29-28 halftime lead and lost a 58-51 decision to the Tigers on Tuesday. The loss drops MCHS to 8-5 on the season and they will face Bolton, who fell to Byhalia, on Wednesday. McNairy Central led for the better part of the game until they went cold from the field and were outscored 18-9 over the last quarter. Brandon Walker had a solid outing, scoring 22 to lead the ‘Cats. Jeremiah Sanders chipped in with 11 and Debarrian Marcell had six.

There appeared to be a lid on the Lady Braves rims Tuesday, as they could only muster a 10-of-30 eﬀort from the free throw line against Ashland in a 62-45 loss. That’s pretty much where the game was lost as the two teams were fairly even in the field goal department. TCHS led 16-12 after one and found themselves in a 31-31 tie at the intermission. “We didn’t play well down the stretch and free throw shooting just killed us,” said Lady Braves head coach Brian Middleton. “Anytime you hit only 10 of 30 free throws you aren’t gonna win. We had good eﬀort but we got in a hole in the second half and couldn’t bounce back.” With the loss, TCHS is now 6-9 and will play Hernando Wednesday. Christian Bobo led the TCHS attack with 11 and Morgan Perkins added nine.

at the break, ACHS outscored MHS in the third frame and played evenly in the fourth. Despite the setback, the Golden Bears had four players finish in double figures, led by Jonathan Derrick’s 19.

McNairy Central enjoyed a 21-9 halftime lead and never allowed Hernando to make a significant move to get back in the contest. Khyla Wade-Warren paced MCHS with 13, followed by Hannah Hughes with 12 and Selika McCord added seven. The Lady ‘Cats now sport a 7-5 record.

TEST CONTINUED FROM 10A

“There’s no comparison,” Pruitt said. “This is the best football team we’ve played.” Washington oﬀensive players and coaches could easily say, Ditto. ‘Bama’s defense was so dominant during the regular season that Allen & Co. didn’t allow a touchdown in November. A touchdown-free November? “I have never seen that,” Washington oﬀensive coordinator Jonathan Smith said. It’s not the only attention-getting statistic for a defense that is making a case as the best of coach Nick Saban’s decade in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. And that’s saying something. The defense has scored 11 touchdowns and only given up 14. The defenders have collectively won more national awards (four) than they’ve allowed rushing TDs (three). Allen accounted for three of them: the Bronco Nagurski Trophy, the Bednarik Award and the Hendricks Award. Middle linebacker Reuben Foster claimed the Butkus Award. The defense has lost two of its leaders, safety Eddie Jackson and

linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton, to seasonending injuries. But Jackson’s replacement, Minkah Fitzpatrick, is an All-American who moved over from a starting cornerback spot. Former five-star recruit Rashaan Evans, who’s played in 39 career games, is expected to replace Hamilton. When those injuries happen, Alabama’s approach, as Pruitt said, is “it’s somebody else’s turn and they’ll be ready to go.” Allen said Tide defenders genuinely love playing together. Pruitt said they do indeed play together. “I think this day and time, it’s hard to get one guy to do his job, much less 11 guys to do their job,” said Pruitt, who was hired after Kirby Smart landed the Georgia head coaching job a year ago. “I think this group has been unique in the fact that not only they know what to do, they know how to do it and they know why it’s important to do it that way. “And you can find guys that can do that some of the time, but it’s hard to find guys that can do that all the time. And I think that’s unique about this bunch is they can sustain.”

The Lady Braves fell 62-45 to the Lady Lady Blue Devils and will play Hernando Wednesday.

The Braves of coach Craig Dailey dug a seven-point halftime deficit against the Tigers and couldn’t dig their way out, coming close but falling 6154. “I felt like we played really hard,” Dailey said. “Our intensity was there, but we just didn’t make the plays we needed to win the game. “We made a couple of runs but just never got over the hump.” Hernando turned a 1612 first quarter lead into a 33-26 halftime cushion so it was still a game at that point. The two teams played break-even ball over the final two periods as HHS left with the victory. TCHS is now 6-9 and was led in scoring by Caleb McCalmon’s 20 point eﬀort. Kyle Parrish scored 13 and Tucker Hill finished with eight. The Braves will play Ashland on Wednesday. There was plenty of other action on both courts on Tuesday and a list of scores from other games can be found in the scoreboard of today’s sports section.

Columnist offers thoughts on 2017 garden questions

Photo by MSU Extension / Gary Bachman

These Bright Lights Swiss chard are cool season plants that do double duty as beautiful landscape plants that also are edible and tasty.Â

These warm-season NuMex April Foolâ€™s Day ornamental peppers are also beautiful and edible.Â

As we prepare to head into a new year of gardening adventures, Gary Iâ€™ve been Bachman t h i n k i n g about a Southern variety of Gardening landscape questions and quandaries that pop up from time to time. A common question in the spring concerns starting plants from seed. Another landscape paradigm Iâ€™d like to change deals with identifying plants as perennials. Production time is also a problem if you have busy, hectic schedule. Buying plants from the garden center allows you to have a beautiful landscape without dealing with the production worries. Labeling a plant as a perennial is not the same thing as saying it will live forever. Many gardeners are surprised when perennials donâ€™t survive the winter -- especially in south Mississippi, where we donâ€™t experience really hard winters. Our normal winters are cool and wet, and these conditions causes significantly more winter kill than freezing temperatures. Every plant has a normal lifespan, and I like the definition of perennials as plants that live more than two years. I think plants should be classified by hardiness zone and as short-lived or long-lived perennials. Gardeners can make better decisions when armed with this information. And while weâ€™re on the topic of plant classifications, let me remind you that if youâ€™re only planting summer annuals, donâ€™t worry about the hardiness zones. This

Container herb gardens can be brought near the house to add beauty to a patio and provide easy access to the kitchen.Â

classification just refers to the plantâ€™s ability to survive winter average low temperatures. It is important information for trees, shrubs and other longlived plants, but winterâ€™s cold wonâ€™t aďŹ€ect summer annuals. Home gardeners continue to be interested in growing fresh produce, but many think that having limited space rules out growing vegetables. Not true. I understand the idea of saving a little money because I also like to garden on the cheap. Itâ€™s also exciting to observe the potential contained in a little seed. But if youâ€™re a novice, you may not be prepared to properly care for that seedling for the six to eight weeks of production time needed for it to reach the stage of plants for sale at the garden center. Think about growing edible plants that do double duty by tasting good and being beautiful. There are even vegetables bred for the ornamental market. Leafy greens like Redbor kale and Bright Lights Swiss chard are cool-season favorites. For the warm summer season, there are tomatoes and mini eggplants like Fairy Tale and Hansel and Gretel, and who can ignore the colorful ornamental peppers like NuMex Easter and April Foolâ€™s Day? An idea for the edible landscape that Iâ€™m using is placing my container herb garden on the back porch ready to harvest and provide a flavorful addition to dinner while looking pretty the rest of the time. My last thought to all my Southern Gardening friends is to get out and garden, and have a great 2017.

The secret to better pasta? Bake it! BY SARA MOULTON Associated Press

If thereâ€™s anything more comforting than boiled pasta in a sauce, itâ€™s got to be baked pasta in a sauce. The baking adds a crispy crust that is such a delicious contrast to the tender goodness of the dish. The challenge is how to get the pasta to turn out just right. Most baked pasta recipes instruct you to boil the noodles until cooked halfway before baking them. This alORZV WKH SDVWD WR ÂżQLVK FRRNing in the oven as it bathes in the sauce. But this method has challenges. If you boil the noodles more than halfway, theyâ€™ll be overcooked by the WLPH \RX SXOO WKH ÂżQLVKHG GLVK RXW RI WKH RYHQ , ÂżQG LW hard to get the precooking time right. And precooking the pasta, even halfway, takes work and dirties a large pot and colander. Then again, if you donâ€™t precook the pasta and instead add it dry to the sauce for baking, it will take much longer to become tender in the oven, even as it absorbs all the liquid in the sauce. Dry pasta needs to hydrate. So whatâ€™s a home cook to do? Use my simple no-cook method of precooking the pasta. Just soak the pasta in warm salted water before adding it to the other ingredients and sliding the mixture into the oven. Presoaking is a way to begin hydrating the pasta and washing away some of its starch, even as the salt in the water preseasons the pasta. Yes, youâ€™ll dirty a bowl, but given that thatâ€™s the same vessel in which youâ€™ll combine all the dishâ€™s ingredients, itâ€™s the only bowl youâ€™ll need. The soak requires 45 PLQXWHV EXW LWÂśV KDQGV RĚ†

time, freeing you to prep the rest of the ingredients. Then it takes no time at all to assemble the dish and pop it into the oven. Just 20 or so minutes later you can collect your reward: GHHSO\ Ă€DYRUHG EDNHG SDVWD creamy on the bottom and crispy on top. Add a salad and some crusty bread and be happy.

Let stand for 45 minutes. Heat the oven to 450 F. Lightly butter a shallow baking dish (12-cup capacity with 2 to 21/2-inch sides). Drain the pasta and set aside. In the same bowl, combine all remaining ingredients, stirring well. Add the pasta, toss to combine, then season with a pinch of salt. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, pressing it down evenly. Bake on the ovenâ€™s middle shelf until bubbly and browned, 20 to 22 minutes.

Festive take on risotto creates special New Yearâ€™s dish BY ELIZABETH KARMEL

Champagne risotto

Associated Press

Servings: 2 dinner portions or 4 side dishes Start to finish: 45 minutes 2 large shallots, chopped (about 1/3 cup) 2 large cloves of garlic, chopped 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 tablespoons butter, divided 4 ounces mixed chopped mushrooms (A generous cup of cooked mushrooms) 1 cup Champagne 32 ounces unsalted chicken stock 6 sprigs of fresh thyme, divided 1 generous cup Arborio rice 1 generous cup Parmesan Cheese, grated In a heavy-bottomed medium-size (about 6 quarts) pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Immediately add shallot and garlic and stir for 3-4 minutes, or until the shallot is translucent and beginning to brown around the edges. Add rice to the shallots and garlic and stir vigorously for about 30 seconds until all of the rice grains are coated in oil. Let rice toast in the pan for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. In a medium saute pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and let melt. Season butter with salt and add mushrooms. Let cook down until lightly sauteed and set

aside. In a second pot (about 4 quarts), warm chicken stock and 1/2 cup of Champagne over medium-low heat. Add about 4 whole sprigs of thyme to infuse the stock. Add Champagne to the rice mixture and reduce heat to medium. Add in the sauteed mushrooms. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed. Use a ladle to add 1/2 cup of the hot chicken stock to the rice. Stir frequently. Each time the stock is almost fully absorbed, add another 1/2 cup. Continue stirring and adding stock until rice is creamy yet VWLOO D OLWWOH ÂżUP WR WKH ELWH ,W PD\

not be necessary to use all of the stock.) The total cooking time, once the rice has been added, should not be more than about 25 minutes. To keep the rice slightly creamy, donâ€™t wait until the last ladle full of stock is totally absorbed before pulling it RĚ† WKH KHDW DQG VHUYLQJ Remove from the heat. Stir in the reserved thyme (leaves only) and the Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted. Season with a touch of white pepper and salt if desired.

Even though risotto is a simple rice dish, I associate it with special occasions. A northern Italian rice dish cooked in broth to a creamy consistency, risotto is most often served DV D ÂżUVW FRXUVH %XW LQ WKH 8 6 ZH serve it as a side or a main course. It most always includes butter, onions and wine. I have made white wine w risotto with spring peas and crab meat and red-wine risotto with c caramelized shallots and mushc rooms. But I never thought about r making Champagne risotto until my m friend and fellow chef, Bob Blumer f mentioned it to me. I immediately m knew that Champagne risotto would k have to become my New Yearâ€™s Eve h staple â€” itâ€™s comforting on a cold s night and easy to prepare while talkn ing in and drinking with friends. And itâ€™s it the perfect choice for an at-home New N Yearâ€™s Eve celebration. Bob makes his risotto with asparagus, g which is out of season right now. I opted to make mine with my one of my favorite ingredients, mushrooms â€” any kind of mushrooms work, or a mixture of wild mushrooms. The combination of garlic, shallots, butter, Champagne, Parmesan and thyme is so rich that this recipe is excellent with button mushrooms and only gets better with more interesting varieties. My favorite mushrooms are meaty morels and chanterelles. And since it is New Yearâ€™s Eve, why not spurge with Champagne and chanterelles!? The key to risotto is setting up two pots, one for the chicken stock and the other for the risotto itself. Keep the stock warm so that it is absorbed quicker and doesnâ€™t â€œshockâ€? the risotto as you stir it in, little by little.

Dear Annie: I am in a loving relationship with a wonderful man, “William.” We grew up together, but our families moved apart over time, so we lost all contact. Then, just by chance, I found William on a dating site. I wanted to contact him that afternoon. Then I changed my mind. I would sleep on it that night. The next morning, I woke up with my heart pounding so hard I could not even think straight. I knew what I had to do: make that call. Oh, what a day that turned out to be. William and I talked for five hours that night — and every night after that. In April of this year, William asked me whether I would like to move in with him. I did not hesitate. I have a wonderful, loving, caring man in my life. But from time to time, I do wonder whether William is seeing his ex-wife at work or chatting on Facebook with her. He seems distant with me at times and has very little to say, and sometimes he’s unaﬀectionate. At those times, I try to keep busy and keep my mouth shut. But my mind is always at work, wondering what’s next. Annie, is there any need for worry with William? Has he finished with his ex? These are the ques-

Dear Annie tions I need answers to more than anything. I love William dearly. I know he loves me and cares for me. Could you please give me some insight? — Your Friend Dear Friend: Calm down. William has given no indication that he is cheating. He might be distant at times, but all men are. And there’s nothing wrong with his occasionally catching up with his ex-wife, as long as it’s strictly platonic and not too frequent. It’s important that you find ways to help your mind settle — through exercise, meditation or even just losing yourself in a good book. If you keep looking for problems in your relationship, you’ll end up creating them. Dear Annie: I just read the letter from “Sick of It,” who is dealing with a woman who is focused on hating her and spreading that hatred. It hit home with me. I was married for 25 years, and we had a wonderful life — not that we didn’t have a few rough times, too. But

both of our families were always a part of our lives. Then one day, my wife left me for another man. When he left her after three years, her whole focus shifted to making our kids and all our friends and family hate me. Thirty years later, nothing has changed. She makes sure, just using her words, that the hate never ends. I started thinking about terrorist groups and how much trouble they’ve caused in the world just by teaching hate with words. Nothing good has ever come from it. I’ve talked to many people over the years, and it’s surprising how many people hate a mom, dad, brother, sister or former friend and vow never to speak to the person again. Don’t they realize that this life on earth is really very short and most people wish they reconciled when it’s too late? So here’s my idea: Why doesn’t everyone in America take two hours and watch a heartwarming Hallmark movie? Maybe a few of those really angry people will understand how much better they will feel by saying those three magic words: “I forgive you!” — Racquetball Bob Dear Bob: I couldn’t agree with you more. Keep spreading the positivity.
