Model Ts roll into town

A 9-year-old boy who was riding a bicycle was transported via Air Evac after being hit by a white Jeep around 4:30 Tuesday afternoon on Bunch Street. The youngster suffered bruises, lacerations and possible broken bones when he was trapped under the vehicle. Corinth police, First Responders and Magnolia EMS were all called to the scene. The Corinth Police Department Accident Reconstruction Unit is investigating the accident.

America’s first affordable car is coming to Corinth.

A Model T touring club is planning a stop in the area as part of its trek from Arizona.

“It will be a chance to see the cars from the early 1900s,” said Magnolia Antique Car Club President Rick Kelley.

The car club will be hosting the tour group, which is set to have 20-25 Model T cars at the Crossroads Museum at 4 p.m. today. Individuals will get a chance to ride in the cars free of charge.

The event will be moved to

Crossroads Regional Park in case of rain.

“It really is something to see,” said Crossroads Museum Executive Director Brandy Steen.

“We are excited they are coming to town.”

The Arizona club has already made stops in other parts of the state.

“Most of their tour has taken place in Mississippi,” added Kelley.

Stops were made in Vicksburg on Sunday before moving onto Columbus on Monday and Tupelo on Tuesday.

“They will spend a night and tour Corinth before heading to

Shiloh,” said the car club president.

Called the Ford Model T, the car is known as the vehicle that opened travel to the middleclass American.

Produced by Henry Ford’s Motor Company, the car was named the world’s most influential car of the 20th century in an international poll.

■ The Magnolia Antique Car Club will also be hosting a cruise-in on Sunday from 1-4 p.m. at Arby’s. There will be a drawing for free food with money earned to be given back as door prizes.

There is a $5 registration fee.

KCB urge hazardous waste collection day

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Keep Corinth-Alcorn County Beautiful is proposing a household hazardous waste collection day — the first that would be held in Corinth in almost 10 years.

The event would likely be held on a Saturday in late September, giving residents an opportunity to safely dispose of materials such as motor oil and electronics that can be difficult or dangerous to throw away.

KCB Coordinator Andrea Rose presented the request to the Board of Supervisors on Monday and Board of Aldermen on Tuesday. Application will be submitted for a grant of $25,000 for the disposal day

Corinth artifacts highlight exhibit at Interpretive Center For the Daily Corinthian

Every Civil War soldier carried items that were a necessary part of his job — a musket, a uniform, a pair of boots or brogans.

Among those things considered indispensible by men in the field were a cartridge box for holding ammunition, a knapsack for carrying personal items and a blanket for keeping warm at night.

Thanks to the generosity of David Jarnigan of C & D Jarnigan Co., Inc., a new exhibit at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center displays three pieces of equipment which were carried by a pair of soldiers while they were in Corinth.

“These are wonderful artifacts in an excellent state of preservation and we are very excited about showing them to our visitors,” said Park Ranger Tom Parson.

“All of the pieces on display

through the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.

Rose said the event would be set up basically the same as it was in 2003. She explained that a contractor would be hired to collect all of the materials, salvaging what can be recycled and properly disposing of things that cannot be recycled.

None of the disposed waste would stay in Alcorn County.

The event is proposed to be held at the Alcorn County Transfer Station near the water treatment plant on South Harper Road.

Gathering discusses underage drinking issue

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Two local organizations say it’s time for a new attitude on underage drinking.

Region IV Mental Health and the Families First Resource Center of Tishomingo County have partnered for a town hall meeting on underage drinking at Northeast Community College’s Waller Hall in Booneville at 4 p.m. on Thursday. Ray Hall, public affairs officer for Troop F of the Mississippi Highway Patrol, will discuss the issue.

Stacy Brooks of Families First said the groups are answering the surgeon general’s call for communities to focus on the issue of underage drinking during March with the idea that communities can help change how people think and act and help support teen decisions not to drink by taking a firm community stance against underage drinking.

“Underage drinking is a serious public health problem, and it’s everybody’s problem,” said Brooks. “A solution

should be everyone’s responsibility.”

Youth in grades 5 and up, parents, community youth organizations, teachers and church groups are encouraged to attend. Brooks said the sponsoring groups want to discuss how to encourage children to feel that “life is great — add nothing.”

The groups say that underage alcohol consumption is a widespread and persistent public health and safety problem leading to serious personal, social and economic consequences.

Some of the statistics noted

by Brooks include: ■ In 2009, 11 percent of youth between the ages of 12 and 20 drank, with 90 percent being binge drinkers — having five or more drinks in a short period of time.

■ In 2008, there were approximately 190,000 emergency room visits by people under 21 for injuries and conditions linked to alcohol.

■ Students reporting being drunk at least once in the past month included 1 in 5 10thgraders and about 3 out of 10 12th-graders.

8th annual Great American Cleanup campaign kicks off soon

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Volunteers are doing their part to keep America attractive by seeing that Corinth-Alcorn County is beautiful.

Keep Corinth-Alcorn Beautiful has kicked off its eighth Great American Cleanup campaign with an enthusiastic re-

sponse to the cleanup effort.

“It takes a lot of people coming together to help keep the city and county clean,” said Keep Corinth Beautiful Coordinator Andrea Rose. “There has been a real positive response already.”

The cleanup campaign started in March and runs through the end of May.

Keep America Beautiful’s Great American Cleanup uses 3.8 million volunteers to create local chance in communities.

Last year, volunteers donated more than 5.2 million hours to clean and improve more than 16,500 communities around the country.

“Every year we add to the list

Index Stocks...... 7A Classified......5B Comics......3B Wisdom......2B

Weather......5A Obituaries......3A Opinion......4A Sports......8A

of volunteers and businesses,” added Rose. “Once individuals volunteer, they come back and say ‘I can’t believe how much litter is out there and I will never be part of littering again.’”

In 2011, over 20,000 pounds of litter was picked up in Alcorn County, according to Rose.

There is no cost to take part

in the cleanup program. Keep Corinth-Alcorn Beautiful will provide the bags, safety vests, gloves and litter collection tools needed.

“Volunteers choose the day and time that is best for them to collect,” said Rose.

Recalling the lost children of Shiloh (Source: “The Lost Account of the Battle of Corinth and The Court Martial of Gen. Van Dorn” Unknown Author, Edited by Monroe F. Cockrell.)

Thomas D. Duncan, whose scouting exploits have already been mentioned, was but 15 years old at the outbreak of the war.

Duncan, a native of Tishomingo County, Mississippi, was prime recruiting material for the Confederacy.

A young, impressionable man, Duncan knew the terrain from Corinth to Savannah like the back of his hand.

Duncan originally enlisted in the Corinth Rifles, commanded by Judge W.H. Kilpatrick, but Duncan’s father thought the infantry too dangerous and insisted that Thomas join a local cavalry company then being organized by William M. Inge.

So young Duncan transferred and his father gave him a good horse and his blessings.

The rush to get into action was s t r o n g however.

Duncan in Vicki relates great detail Roach how the Family i n f a n t r y Branches and artillery united were the first activated.

When the Corinth Rifles were ordered to Pensacola, Florida, many members of Duncan’s cavalry company bolted and joined the infantry unit so they wouldn’t miss any of the action.

“I would have gone, but as I was under the lawful age for enlistment and still subject to parental rule, my father objected: and as the patriotic spirit in me was welling up so strong as to throw out a defy, my father told me that if I did not obey him I should not go to war at all.”

During the early months of the conflict, many units used adolescent drillmasters from the plethora of military

schools in the south to teach soldiers how to march.

It must have made for an entertaining sight as the prepubescent boys shouted out commands to men with beards and gray hair.

In Memphis, Tennessee young Charlie Jackson was assigned to instruct his father’s company in the arts of drill and ceremony.

According to Bell Wiley, when the unit was dispatched to Shiloh, Charlie refused to be left behind, and against his parents’ wishes was outfitted with a musket, specially made for his small hands. His parents’ fears were realized near the end of the first day at Shiloh when Charlie was killed.

Among other fatherson pairings were John C. Thompson and his 13 year old son, Flem, Mississippians who marched off to war together. The elder Thompson, though have enlisted as a private, showed such valor that he was rewarded with a commission. Unfortunately,

young Flem would see his father fall at Chickamauga.

Last but not least of the notable youths at Shiloh was Willie Forrest, son of then Colonel Nathan Bedford Forrest.

A mere 15 years old, Willie drove his famous father to distraction when he disappeared during the afternoon of April 6th.

Forrest spent a good deal of the evening trying to find his wayward son, only to have the boy wander up with a companion and some Yankee prisoners. Like father, like son.

These are but a few of the children of Shiloh, boys whose adolescent years were spent on battlefields instead of at play.

horrific fighting near the Shiloh meeting house.

After the battle, Roberts participated in the Siege of Corinth but the active life of a soldier proved too demanding for this soldier in his late 40s. Within a year, Roberts had arranged for his young son to serve in his place.

Pvt. Charles Cogar of Bonaparte, Iowa enlisted in the 2nd Iowa Infantry and was issued a regulation knapsack and wool

blanket. Like the other men in his regiment, Cogar stenciled his name in white paint on the outside of the knapsack so it could be readily identified from the hundreds of others in his unit.

His thick brown blanket had to have been a welcome friend during the freezing nights near Fort Donelson, Tenn. It was there, on February 15, 1862, that a bullet slammed into his right elbow, disabling him for

life.

Five months later, Cogar was “discharged for wounds” at Camp Montgomery on the south side of Corinth.

Visitors to the Interpretive Center can see the faint stencil on Cogar’s knapsack as well as the initials “J. C. R.” which Roberts carved in the top flap of his cartridge box.

“These three items will remain on display throughout the year,” explained Supervisory

Keep Corinth Beautiful Coordinator Andrea Rose has the supplies needed for those wanting to get involved in beautifying the community.

CLEAN: 4 million volunteers is goal CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The cleanup events aren’t limited to just groups and businesses either.

“We would love for individuals to get involved too,” said the Keep Corinth Beautiful Coordinator.

KAB has set a goal of recruiting four million volunteers to take part in cleanup this year.

During last season’s cleanup in America, 177 million pounds of litter and debris were

removed, 177,000 acres of parks, public lands and spaces were beautified, and 166,000 trees and 1.5 million flowers and bulbs were planted.

KAB also collected over 290 million plastic bottles for recycling.

“This is a chance for us to put our best foot forward and make our community a nice place to live by cleaning up and greening up,” said Rose.

Contact Rose at 2875269 for more information or to volunteer.

materials — one would be paint, the next truck would be tires and then electronics,” said Rose.

During the previous event, organizers estimated it would collect 500 gallons of motor oil; 10,000 pounds of paint; 1,000 pounds of pesticides; 20,000 pounds of scrap metals; 1,000 pounds of automobile and nickel-

cadmium batteries; 1,000 pounds of aerosols, acid and base; 1,800 pounds of flammable liquids; and 500 tires.

Latex and oil paint thinners and cleaners determined to be usable can be turned over to nonprofit groups such as Habitat for Humanity.

A 25 percent local grant match can be met through providing the event site and other support.

“The Adamsville facility has a great workforce, but the state of the building and remodeling industries, along with the transition from Gelcoat to Innovex Technology, has necessitated this action.”

Kathleen Vokes Masco Bath spokesperson largest employer in McNairy County.

Masco Bath began as Aqua Glass and built houseboats in 1969 before switching to building bath products for the mobile home industry. Masco Bath bought the company in 1984 and changed the name from Aqua Glass in 2009.

The company now builds showers, bathtubs, whirlpools, showers for people with special needs and additional bathroom

products.

Masco Bath sold its trucking division, Tombigbee Transport Corporation, to Cardinal Logistics Management Corporation in 2008.

The company announced the closing of its facility in Klamath Falls, Ore., earlier this year with 51 people losing their jobs. Aqua Glass had operated the plant since 1993 and had served as the western distributor of their products.

sitated this action,” said Kathleen Vokes, spokesperson for Masco Bath.

This will be the company’s seventh layoff in the last four years as demand for their bath products decreased as a result of the nation’s weak economy.

“It disappoints me anytime someone is losing their job,” said McNairy County Mayor Wilburn Gene Ashe. “Aqua Glass has been so good for this county over the past 40 years.”

Masco Bath believes the use of its new Innovex bathtub products will help boost the company. The new technology will help their products be more damage resistant than the traditional gelcoat material that has dominated the market for the past 40 years.

Obamacare will cost us even more debt The Affordable Health Care Act aka Obamacare was signed into law two years ago.

Over the past two years Columnist we’ve found some interesting things.

Mr. Obama promised Americans his health care reform would save families $2,500 in health insurance premiums by the end of his first term.

According to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation survey, American families have paid nearly $2,500 MORE on their premiums.

You may remember the President repeating over and over again that if you liked your current health care coverage you could keep it.

According to the Obama administration’s own estimates, 80 percent of small businesses in America will drop their current health plans because of onerous mandates in Obamacare. (“Onerous” is my characterization of the mandates.)

And, speaking of mandates, 26 state Attorneys General will argue before the U.S. Supreme Court next week that Obamacare is unconstitutional because of the individual mandate forcing every citizen to either purchase health insurance or pay an annual fine/ tax of $2,000.

The Supreme Court will release its verdict some time this summer.

Last week the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office doubled its estimate of how much Obamacare would cost taxpayers over ten years to more than $1.8 Trillion.

Many economists have opined the cost is likely to continue to skyrocket.

Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate have removed another onerous mandate in Obamacare requiring every business to report to the federal government every purchase exceeding $600.

Why in the world would anybody put such an insane requirement in the law to begin with?

The House is currently working on legislation to repeal another provision in Obamacare establishing the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) – a 15-member group of bureaucrats the law authorizes to set limits on Medicare services and payments.

Do you want some board of nincompoops in DC deciding whether Medicare will cover some medical procedure for you or someone in your family?

Obamacare, like other one-size-fits-all federal programs, promises way too much to too many people, and doesn’t consider future costs. Sure health care costs in America are outrageous. But, Obamacare doesn’t solve that problem; it actually makes the problem worse.

America is more than $15.5 trillion in debt because the federal government keeps on spending way more than we bring in through taxes.

Obamacare will cost us even more debt if it is not ruled unconstitutional or repealed.

Washington has already over-promised what it can pay for Medicare in the next ten years.

Doctors are refusing to see new Medicare patients because Medicare won’t cover doctors’ costs, i.e. doctors are already losing money treating Medicare patients and things are just getting worse.

The federal government cannot continue providing benefits, even to those who truly need those benefits, while it continues to over-spend its budget by more than $1.3 trillion every year.

And, America doesn’t have enough “rich people” to make up the difference or to cover the debt.

The thing that bothers me the most is that the poor among us will pay much higher prices for our irresponsible government than the elite among us who continue to push for more and bigger government.

Republicans alone pre- hold income of the bottom vent him from raising the 20 percent, which is only

$9,100 a year.

The citadel of liberalism that Obama carried 93-7 has a disparity of incomes between rich and poor that calls to mind the Paris of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

Washington is a textbook case of the inequality that Obama says “distorts our democracy,” and it is the ideal place to prove that he is serious.

For Washington is Obamaville. The mayor is a Democrat. The city council is Democratic. There are more lawyers and lobbyists concentrated here than in any city in America.

Here we have the perfect test case — the most liberal city in the republic, with the greatest income inequality, where Obama’s political clout and personal popularity are highest. And there is no obstructionist Republican cabal to block progressive reforms.

If Obama and the Democratic Party will not use their power to close the inequality gap right here in their own playpen, how do they remain credible in Middle America?

How to proceed, if the left is serious about inequality?

Consider. The District of Columbia income tax reaches 8.5 percent after the first $40,000 in income.

A 5 percent surtax takes that rate to 8.95 percent for incomes over $350,000.

Yet, half a dozen states have higher and more progressive income tax rates

than that.

Obama should call on his allies in the city government to raise the district income tax to the 15 percent level New York had in the 1970s.

Since district income taxes are deductible against federal income taxes, this would translate into an actual top tax bite on the Washington rich of 9.75 percent. Is that too much to ask of true progressives?

The new revenue could be transferred to Washington’s working class and poor through tax credits, doubly reducing the district’s glaring inequality.

Republicans will argue that raising the district tax rate to 15 percent on incomes above $250,000 will precipitate an exodus into Maryland and Virginia.

But Obama, who has kept the U.S. corporate tax rate among the highest in the world and wants U.S. personal tax rates raised closer to European levels, rejects this Republican argument.

Has he the courage of his convictions?

When the district’s schools were desegregated in the 1950s, liberals fled.

Let us see if they will stick around for a “progressive income tax” to reduce this unconscionable inequality between Kalorama and Spring Valley — and Anacostia and Turkey Thicket.

The many laws, programs and policies designed to integrate residential housing cannot be automatically assumed to translate into residentially integrated housing. Government is not the sole factor, nor necessarily the biggest factor, no matter what impression political rhetoric gives.

No city is more liberal in its rhetoric and policies than San Francisco. Yet there are less than half as many blacks living in San Francisco today as there were in 1970.

One of the many reasons why rhetoric does not automatically translate into reality is that the ramifications of so many government policies produce results completely different from what was claimed, or even believed, when these policies were imposed.

The poverty rate among blacks was nearly cut in half in the 20 years prior to the 1960s, a record unmatched since then, despite the expansion of welfare state policies in the 1960s.

Unemployment among black 16 and 17-year-old males was 12 percent back

in 1950. Yet unemployment rates among black 16 and 17-year-old males has not been less than 30 percent for any year since 1970 — and has been over 40 percent in some of those years.

While many politicians and “leaders” have claimed credit for black progress, no one seems to be willing to take the blame for the retrogressions represented by higher unemployment rates, higher crime rates, and higher rates of imprisonment today. Or for the disintegration of the black family, which survived centuries of slavery and generations of governmentimposed discrimination in the Jim Crow era, but began coming apart in the wake of the expansion of the liberal welfare state and its accompanying social dogmas.

The time is long overdue to start looking beyond the prevailing political rhetoric to the hard realities.

State Community colleges seek Lawmakers increase budget 39 percent funding raise estimates for next 2 years

BY LAURA TILLMAN Associated Press

JACKSON — About 100 community college students, teachers and administrators gathered at the state Capitol this week to ask Mississippi legislators for more money to meet the needs of a student population that has grown as the economy has struggled.

Wearing green t-shirts that played off the “Survivor” TV show logo, students enrolled in some of the state’s 15 community colleges stood on the steps of the second floor rotunda as administrators made the case for a 39 percent funding increase.

Eric Clark, executive director of the state Board of Community and Junior Colleges, said community colleges need funding now more than ever.

“After the recession our enrollment skyrocketed and our budgets were cut,” Clark said. “We need the Legislature to make community colleges a priority.”

The lack of funding has led to bigger classes and more part-time faculty members, plus delays in repairs and renovations on buildings, Clark said.

Cory Johnson, a student at Hinds Community College in Raymond, studies computer science.

The 19-year-old Johnson said he plans to transfer

after two years to Mississippi State, but is attending Hinds for two years to help make his undergraduate education affordable.

Johnson enrolled just as the recession was starting to deepen.

“I originally was going to go straight to Mississippi State, but I’d have so many loans, and I was making my decision around the time the economy starting to really home,” Johnson said.

Rep. Cecil Brown, DJackson said that tuition has been on the rise.

“We are pricing people out of higher education in Mississippi,” he said.

Clark asked the crowd three questions: What educational entity is the best bargain? What is the primary entity that trains people for 21st century jobs? And what is the entity that yields the quickest payback on the state’s investment?

Community colleges, the crowd responded each time.

Clark said he knows money is tight and doesn’t expect to get the full 39 percent increase, but hopes to recover to pre-recession budget levels.

The community colleges are hoping that the Legislature can make progress on a four-yearold promise to fund the schools at a pre-student

level halfway between K-12 students and students at regional universities.

Community colleges have lost ground on the 2007 goal each of the last four years. Currently, it would take a $2,366 perstudent increase to reach that goal.

Clark has said that he doesn’t expect lawmakers to make up that difference in one session.

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Citing better-than-expected tax collections in recent months, Mississippi lawmakers are increasing the pool of money available for the state to spend during the current and coming budget years.

The Joint Legislative Budget Committee voted

this week to add about $99 million to the budget for the current year, which ends June 30, and about $130 million to the budget for the coming year, which begins July 1.

Those are relatively small additions in state budgets that top $4.6 billion.

With the changes, the current year’s budget will be 3.5 percent bigger than last year’s, and the

next fiscal year’s budget will be 1.3 percent bigger than this year’s.

State economist Darrin Webb said Mississippi’s economic outlook is slightly stronger now than it was a few months ago, although he described the housing sector as “sluggish” and said the state in 2011 marked its fourth straight year of decreased employment levels.

‘Drunk’ needing ride returns bike Associated Press

ASPEN, Colo. — A Colorado man whose bike was stolen says he bears no grudges against a remorseful person who returned it with a handwritten note of apology

that was signed “Drunk.”

Aspen resident Jay Maytin says he’s just happy to be back on his Trek.

The Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office says the bike was left near the sheriff’s office and police

department with a note that said: “Sorry. I stole this bike. I rode it home.

Please give it back — Drunk.”

Police tell the Aspen Times there were no witnesses.

House GOP unveils new budget blueprint freeze it at that level for two more years.

The GOP plan doesn’t have a chance of passing into law this year but stands in sharp contrast to the budget released by Obama last month, which relied on tax increases on the wealthy but mostly left alone key benefit programs like Medicare.

The resulting political battle is sure to spill beyond the Capital Beltway into the presidential race and contests for control of the House and Senate this fall.

“The president and his party are ignoring this problem and if we have a debt crisis the people who are getting hurt first and the worst are the poor and the elderly,” Ryan said Tuesday. “We are sharpening the contrast between the path we are proposing and the path of debt and decline that the president has placed us upon.”

The Budget panel is slated to debate and vote on the measure Wednesday in hopes of a vote by the full House next week.

The Senate has no plans to debate a budget and will instead rely on last summer’s bipartisan budget and debt pact to govern this year’s round of spending bills.

The annual budget debate in Congress plays out on an arcane battlefield of numbers and assumptions, often difficult to understand even by Capitol Hill veterans. Basically, however, the so-called budget resolution sets broad parameters for follow-up legislation.

Sometimes that is just a round of agency budget bills; other times lawmakers take on taxes and benefit programs like Medicare whose budgets otherwise run on autopilot.

the Medicare retirement age from 65 to 67.

“If you want to save Medicare and keep it from going bankrupt, you must reform the program, and that’s what we intend to do,” countered Ryan, R-Wis. Even as Ryan was describing his plan to reporters, it became election-year fodder for both parties.

“The House budget once again fails the test of balance, fairness, and shared responsibility,” White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said in a written statement charging that the GOP proposal would dole out tax cuts to rich while protecting tax breaks for oil companies and hedge fund managers.

“What’s worse is that all of these tax breaks would be paid for by undermining Medicare and the very things we need to grow our economy and the middle class — things like education, basic research, and new sources of energy,” Pfeiffer said.

This year’s GOP measure would produce deficit estimates that are significantly lower than a comparable measure passed by the House a year ago, claiming deficit cuts totaling $3.3 trillion — spending cuts of $5.3 trillion tempered by $2 trillion in lower taxes — below Obama over the coming decade. The deficit in 2015, for example, would drop to about $300 billion from $1.2 trillion for the current budget year. Last year’s GOP draft called for a 2015 deficit more than $100 billion higher.

The measure would cut spending from $3.6 trillion this year to the $3.5 trillion range in 2013 and

BY ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Conservative House Republicans on Tuesday set up what appears to be a potential re-run of last year’s turbulent domestic policy fight with President Barack Obama, putting forward an election-year budget manifesto that would blend steep social program cuts with reduced tax rates.

The GOP plan released

by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan would, if enacted into law, wrestle the deficit to a manageable size in short order, but only by cutting Medicaid, food stamps, Pell Grants and a host of other programs that Obama has promised to protect.

To deal with the influx of retiring Baby Boomers, the GOP budget reprises a controversial approach to overhauling Medicare that would switch the program — for those under 55 today — from a traditional “fee for service” framework in which the government pays doctor and hospital bills to a voucher-like “premium support” approach in which the government subsidizes purchases of health insurance.

Republicans say the new approach forces competition upon a wasteful health care system, lowering cost increases and giving senior more options. But Democratic opponents of the idea say the new system — designed by Ryan and liberal Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon — cuts costs too steeply and would provide the elderly with a steadily shrinking menu of options and higher outof-pocket costs. Starting in 10 years, the plan also calls for gradually raising

Charging up profits Ramped up spending and use of consumer credit as the holiday season got underway helped boost Discover Financial Services’ fiscal fourth-quarter profits.

But did the credit card issuer see the trend continue in the December-to-February quarter?

Wall Street anticipates the answer will be yes, and expects Discover will report higher profit and revenue for its fiscal first quarter.

Bank stocks open their vaults The Federal Reserve gave a green light to some of the country’s largest banks to start rewarding investors with higher dividends. All but four of 19 financial firms passed the Fed’s stress tests, designed to make sure banks have enough cash to weather another financial crisis.

JPMorgan Chase, the biggest bank by assets, quickly pledged to buy back $15 billion of its own stock and raise its quarterly dividend by a nickel to 30 cents. Citigroup was ruled not healthy enough to weather a crisis.

For investors, it’s not exactly a return to the good old days, but the 15 passing grades are a positive step.

Safety and stable dividends were what traditionally drew investors to banks. From the 1990s until 2007, the average dividend yield for banks — what they paid investors annually as a percentage of their stock price — was 3 percent, according to analysts at Nomura.

In July 2007, Citigroup’s was 8 percent.

Then the financial crisis hit.

Banks that survived conserved cash, tightened lending and pared dividends. The average dividend yield for banks dipped to 1 percent in 2010. Citigroup cancelled its dividend.

Brian Furan, a Nomura banking analyst, says he expects more dividends and buyback plans as banks return to health. Banks pay an average 2 percent now. Over the next year, Nomura estimates the average will be closer to 3 percent.

“We’re still not back to normal,” Furan says, “but we’ve cleared a clear path to it.”

Another appeal of dividends is the 15 percent tax rate. But dividend income is to be taxed as ordinary income starting next year — a top rate of 39.6 percent — if the Bush-era tax cuts aren’t extended for all taxpayers.

Another home sales bump?

Sales of previously occupied homes climbed to the highest level in almost two years in January, and economists believe February data out today will show sales rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.6 million.

That would help bolster the view that housing is on a recovery track. However, it would take sales in the 6 million range to indicate a healthy market.

Food maker General Mills has raised prices to offset the impact of higher costs for everything from ingredients to labor.

But the company behind Cheerios, Hamburger Helper and other food products has still felt the pinch on its profits even as its revenue has increased.

OXFORD — Mississippi’s basketball program is still struggling to take its next big step.

The Rebels’ season ended in the National Invitation Tournament for the fifth time in six seasons last week after a 96-93 loss to Illinois State.

Ole Miss finished with a 20-14 record and an 8-8 mark in the Southeastern Conference.

That’s not necessarily a bad season, but there’s plenty of pressure on coach Andy Kennedy to finally build a team

that can make the NCAA tournament. The Rebels haven’t been to the NCAA tournament in any of Kennedy’s six seasons and the program’s 10-year absence from college basketball’s premier showcase is the SEC’s longest.

This year’s moderate success could be a sign of better things to come. The Rebels managed to win 20 games despite the mid-season loss of leading scorer Dundrecous Nelson, who was kicked off the team in January after he was arrested and charged with

possession of drug paraphernalia.

A key reserve — guard Jelan Kendrick — also missed several games down the stretch because of disciplinary reasons.

“We’re a resilient team,” junior forward Murphy Holloway said. “We came through a lot of adversity.”

Ole Miss should return most of its team next season, including forwards Reginald Buckner and Holloway and guards Nick Williams and Jarvis Summers. The only major loss is 6-foot-9 senior

Terrance Henry, who was one of the team’s most versatile players and gave the Rebels four productive seasons.

Summers, a 6-foot-4 guard, was one of the SEC’s best freshmen, averaging 10.2 points and leading the team in assists. Buckner and Holloway were a bruising combo in the paint, together averaging more than 18 points, 17 rebounds and nearly three blocks per game.

Kennedy feels he’ll have a Please see REBS | 9A

Lady Warriors open home slate with win

“Road Rules” gave way to “The Wizard of Oz.” After beginning the season with 10 consecutive games away from the friendly confines, the Corinth Lady Warriors finally made their 2012 debut at the Sportsplex on Tuesday.

Turns out Dorothy was right — there is no place like home.

Corinth made short work of Pontotoc, needing just fourand-a-half innings to register a 10-0 victory. CHS remained

unbeaten in league play and prevailed for the third time in five outings after beginning the season 1-5.

Erin Frazier paced the offensive attack with three hits, including a pair of doubles.

Haley Christian and Portia Patterson had two singles each as Corinth (4-7, 2-0) legged out nine hits over four innings.

DENVER — John Elway flashed that mile-wide grin and turned the microphone over to his new quarterback, Peyton Manning.

Talk about a powerful pair.

Introducing Manning as the newest Denver Bronco on Tuesday, the two Super Bowl winners each talked about hoisting another Lombardi Trophy, this time together.

And soon.

“I realize I don’t have 14 years left, by any means,” Manning said. “This isn’t something where I’m just building a foundation to do something in two years or three years. This is a ‘now’ situation. We’re going to do whatever we can to win right now. That’s all I’m thinking about right now.”

Just so long as Manning’s surgically repaired neck goes along with the plan.

Neither he nor Elway has a doubt it will, and the Hall of Famer-turned-executive knew the NFL’s only fourtime MVP was just what his club needed.

The franchise has won just two playoff games since Elway’s career came to an end with a second straight Super

Bowl triumph in 1999.

Denver’s last playoff victory came over Pittsburgh two months ago, when Tim Tebow delivered a stadium-rocking, 80-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime.

But things change, and in the NFL, they can change fast.

Tebowmania is now a passing fad in Denver.

A couple of photos of Tebow that once adorned the halls at the Broncos’ headquarters were gone Tuesday by the time Manning was introduced.

“I believe that he’s got a lot of great football left in him,” Elway said of his new QB. And if that’s true, the Broncos will wind up paying him $96 million over five years under his

new deal.

After holding up his new, bright orange jersey in a photo op with Elway and owner Pat Bowlen, Manning answered many of the questions that have been bouncing around since March 7, when his old team, the Colts, released him to avoid paying a $28 million Please see BRONCOS | 9A

Steelers’ Hines Ward to retire

BY WILL GRAVES Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Hines Ward believes he can still play football.

The longtime Pittsburgh wide receiver known for his highwattage smile and his bonecrunching blocks just couldn’t stomach the thought of doing it in some strange uniform on some strange field with nary a Terrible Towel in sight.

“I just wouldn’t feel right,” Ward Ward said.

So rather than play for a 15th season — and his first outside the Steel City — a tearful Ward opted to retire on Tuesday and secure a legacy unmatched in the franchise’s long history. “I can say I’m a Steeler for life and that’s the bottom line, that’s all I’ve really ever wanted,” Ward said.

Ward holds every significant franchise receiving record, including receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. His 1,000 career catches rank eighth all time and he is one of two players with at least 1,000 receptions and two Super Bowl rings.

The decision comes three weeks after the 36-year-old was released by the Steelers in a salary cap maneuver. He insists there are no hard feelings for his release, understanding that football is a business.

“Thank you (Mr. Rooney) for giving a small town boy from Forest Park, Ga., a chance,” Ward said.

Ole Miss was among the SEC’s worst shooting teams this season, ranking 9th from 3-point range (31.6 percent) and last in free-throw shooting (60.3 percent). The Rebels made up for those deficiencies by being the second-best team in the SEC in both rebounding and blocked shots.

“We’ve got to get a little offensive pop,” Kennedy said. “We’re down three guards from where we started, and two of those guys (Nelson and Kendrick), I honestly thought would be 30-minute-agame guys.”

Second win at Bristol no ‘fluke’

Dale Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No. 88 Chevrolet, races Matt Kenseth, driver of the No. 17 Ford, during the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday. (NASCAR Photo)

‘Slippery slope’?

Drivers foresee downside to making inner workings public

D

ale Earnhardt Jr. says folks just can’t keep a secret in the NASCAR garage these days. It’s not his fellow drivers who are being the blabbermouths, so to speak, it’s NASCAR officials and their new policies – and proposed ones – for sharing information among race teams and fans, too.

Earnhardt, and a lot of his peers, say NASCAR’s proposal to share the data from the electronic fuel injection mechanisms of the top race finishers is putting the sport on a “slippery slope.” And he and others say the trend toward making the drivers meeting a public event takes away the opportunity for drivers and crew chiefs to have open and honest communication with each other, and with NASCAR officials, about how races are run.

Earnhardt said that if NASCAR shares one team’s EFI data with the entire garage, a team that had somehow managed to get an advantage over the competition won’t get to keep it for long.

“I’d rather not have that,” he said of the proposed sharing of information. “It would be a benefit to be able to see that. But, I think it is a slippery slope.

“With the fuel injection, it brings in the ability this year to be able to see data that we’ve never been able to see before. I think we should ease into how we use that data, and how NASCAR allows us to use that data, kind of slowly not to upset the culture of the sport, or how things have worked in the past.

“I think if we take this new door that has been opened to us and abuse it, it might not be good for the sport. I think it’s better for competition for everybody to have a few secrets.”

Already, teams are able to look at data from other cars in their multi-car organizations and at data from affiliated teams. Jimmie Johnson seemed pretty pleased to see Tony Stewart’s EFI data from Las Vegas, where Stewart motored away from Johnson on several laterace restarts.

“I did look at Tony’s data, and definitely have a direction and know what’s going on,”

Johnson said. “It’s a complicated thing that I’m certainly not going to share for the world to see. But I’ve got a clear direction of where to work.”

Earnhardt and others also say that there are better ways for drivers to connect with fans than opening the drivers meeting to the public, as was the case at Las Vegas Motor Speedway two races back.

He and many of his peers would rather go back to the old-style drivers meetings, which usually were held in a hot, cramped room at each race track. Only recently were media and other guests invited, and it’s been some time since there was real discussion at those meetings about issues on the track.

“It hasn’t been, for a long time, a true ‘drivers meeting’ in the true sense of the word,” Matt Kenseth said. “Nobody is going to raise their hand and ask a question in that environment, not anybody these days, anyway.”

Kenseth said that if a driver has an issue today, he tries to resolve it in a private meeting with NASCAR officials.

“It is different, but it has been like that for a long time,” he said. “They have been letting more and more people in. I remember when we used to do it my first couple years in the series, we did it in the scoring stand at Charlotte, and you could barely get the drivers and crew chiefs in there.

“That is all it was. It was never a media event or fan event. It was a drivers meeting where there was a forum with discussions and stuff like that. We haven’t had that in a long time.”

Earnhardt Jr. agreed with Kenseth, saying he had difficulty following the basic instructions given in the meeting last week at Las Vegas.

“I couldn’t see those video screens,” he said.

“I really couldn’t pay attention to what was going on. So, the meeting to me didn’t serve its purpose.”

Jimmie Johnson agreed with Earnhardt and Kenseth, saying the drivers meeting

“needs to be more intimate.”

He said he only recently learned that for some time drivers meetings have been streamed online, and he doesn’t like that either.

“I just feel like, that is what that meeting is for, we need an opportunity to sit there and have open communication weekly,” he said.

“With all the eyes, it limits that ability, I believe.”

Patrick to run in charity race The dirt racing world is about to get a taste of Danica Mania. The female NASCAR driver is set to run in the Prelude to the Dream charity race on June 6 at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.

It will be the second start on dirt for the former IndyCar driver.

“I raced on dirt once before in a go-kart when I was young, but that’s about it,” Patrick said in a track release. “It’s going to be a challenge for sure, but I know Tony [Stewart] has offered to help in any way possible. I’m excited about it, but I’m also nervous.”

Stewart, who owns Eldora and is Patrick’s car owner in Cup, said he’s proud to have Patrick participate in Danica Patrick his charity event, (NASCAR photo) “I’m excited,” he said. “I told her: ‘Don’t feel like you have to come do this.’

“She said: ‘No, I really want to do this.’

“I’m excited for her. I don’t think it’s something that she has had a chance to do very much. It will be fun to get her in an environment that is definitely new to her, for sure.”

Vickers: Driving No. 55 more than second chance

Brian Vickers during practice for Sunday’s Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. (NASCAR photo)

Unable to secure a full-time ride after his Red Bull team ceased operations at the end of last year, Brian Vickers signed on for a six-race ride in the No. 55 Toyota at Michael Waltrip Racing, and began his gig with a fifthplace finish in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. He led three times for 125 laps in the car he’ll share with Mark Martin.

He said it’s not exactly a second chance, career-wise; it’s more.

“It’s really my third or more,” he said, adding that he’s thankful for “all the experiences that have happened in my life – racing with a couple of good teams, to Red Bull, winning and being in the Chase and being in the hospital the next year and not knowing if I was ever going to race again. Then getting a second chance ride [at Red Bull], and now getting, really, a third chance. Very grateful for all those chances and opportunities.”

He said he believes the sluggish economy, not his run-ins with Chase contender Matt Kenseth last fall at Martinsville and Phoenix, or the sensational article about him in Maxim magazine in which he was portrayed as a liquor-drinking party guy, is the main reason he doesn’t have a full-time ride.

“There have been a lot of opportunities where I’ve worked with owners and we’ve been really close to putting something together, and there’s been a lot of interest and they’ve been very excited, but the sponsorship hasn’t come through,” he said. “That’s probably been the biggest factor.”

He also disputes the content of the Maxim article, saying: “That was completely a lie.”

Vickers said his main goal now, in the six races he’ll be in in the No. 55, is to have a good time.

“For me, it’s just go out there and have fun, and just enjoy the experience,” he said. “I’ve been through this a couple times now, where I don’t know if I’m going to race again … so I’m just grateful for this opportunity.”

When Brad Keselowski won the Irwin Tools Night Race last fall at Bristol Motor Speedway, some said it was because he figured out how to beat the system that measured speeds on pit road, a system that has now been changed.

On Sunday, after he led four times for 232 laps in winning the Food City 500, there wasn’t much to be said other than that he put an old-fashioned whipping on his peers.

“The fall race was a Brad Keselowski great win, but when (NASCAR photo) you win one and people tell you it was a fluke, you just want to drive that much harder to win the second,” Keselowski said.

He said his No. 2 Dodge was a fast one, and his crew made all the right calls.

“I told somebody before the race, ‘This is the best race car I’ve ever had in Cup.’ And it showed off [Sunday],” Keselowski said.

“Hopefully, we have more cars like this, and we’ll win more races and continue to move the needle forward.

“I’ve said in pre-season this year that the goal here at Penske Racing is to win a Sprint Cup championship, and that’s where we’re all pushing. One win certainly doesn’t achieve that, but it’s a great step and we need more of these steps.”

Golden State rematch Sunday This week’s Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway in California offers the opportunity for a rematch between home-state drivers Kevin Harvick, from Bakersfield, and Jimmie Johnson, from El Cajon.

Last year, Harvick used a last-lap pass to beat Johnson, a five-time Auto Club winner. The year before, Harvick hit the wall late, allowing Johnson to win even though Harvick appeared to have the faster car.

“The last two years, the race has pretty much come down to us and the 48 [Johnson],” Harvick said. “The year before, I ran into the wall, and last year we won. That was good to come back and rebound from the mistake from 2010. Being able to race with Jimmie was a lot of fun, especially at the California race track.”

For Johnson there are few places more special than the Fontana track. It was there, back in 2002, that he got his first Cup win, in his 13th career start, and he won again there in ’02, making him the first rookie to sweep Cup races at a track.

He said that first Cup win was as big as it seemed at the time.

“That was everything to me and my career,” he said. “I knew driving [Jeff Gordon’s] equipment, that if I didn’t win – after he came off a championship season and basically handed me his cars – that I was going to be in trouble.

“So to win in my 13th start, 10th race of that season, that is my most memorable win, period.”

Daytona to repave fire damage The damage caused by a fire touched off when Juan Pablo Montoya slammed into a jet dryer during the Daytona 500 will result in a repaving of a portion of Turn Three at Daytona International Speedway.

Lane Construction, the company that repaved the track in 2010, has been hired to do the work.

Census covering Great Depression to be released

BY CRISTIAN SALAZAR AND RANDY HERSCHAFT Associated Press

NEW YORK — It was a decade when tens of millions of people in the U.S. experienced mass unemployment and social upheaval as the nation clawed its way out of the Great Depression and rumblings of global war were heard from abroad.

Now, intimate details of 132 million people who lived through the 1930s will be disclosed as the U.S. government releases the 1940 census on April 2 to the public for the first time after 72 years of privacy protection lapses.

Access to the records will be free and open to anyone on the Internet — but they will not be immediately name searchable.

For genealogists and family historians, the 1940 census release is the most important disclosure of ancestral secrets in a decade and could shake the branches of many family trees. Scholars expect the records to help draw a more pointillistic portrait of a transformative decade in American life.

Researchers might be

able to follow the movement of refugees from war-torn Europe in the latter half of the 1930s; sketch out in more detail where 100,000 Japanese Americans interned during World War II were living before they were removed; and more fully trace the decades-long migration of blacks from the rural South to cities.

Henry Louis Gates Jr., a Harvard University professor and scholar of black history who has promoted the tracing of family ancestry through popular television shows, said the release of the records will be a “great contribution to American society.”

Gates, whose PBS series “Finding Your Roots” begins March 25, said the “goldmine” of 1940 records would add important layers of detail to an existing collection of opened census records dating to 1790.

“It’s such a rare gift,” he said of the public’s access to census records, “especially for people who believe that establishing their family trees is important for understanding their relationship to American democracy, the history of our country,

Online http://1940census.archives.gov http://www.ancestry.com/1940 http://www.the1940census.com and to a larger sense of themselves.”

Margo Anderson, a census historian, said the records could help answer questions about Japanese-Americans interned in camps after the outbreak of WWII. “What we’ll be able to do now, which we really couldn’t do, is to take a look at what the Japanese-American community looked like on the eve of evacuation,” said Anderson, a professor of history and urban studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

More than 120,000 enumerators surveyed 132 million people for the Sixteenth Decennial Census — 21 million of whom are alive today in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

The survey contained 34 questions directed at all households, plus 16 supplemental questions asked of 5 percent of the population. New

questions reflected the government’s intent on documenting the turbulent decade, by generating data on homelessness, migration, widespread unemployment, irregular salaries and fertility decline.

Some of the most contentious questions focused on personal income and were deemed so sensitive they were placed at the end of the survey.

Less than 300,000 people opted to have their income responses sealed.

In part because of the need to overcome a growing reluctance by the American public to answer questionnaires and fears about some new questions, the bureau launched its biggest outreach and promotional campaign up to that time, according to records obtained at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, N.Y. It opened its first Division of Public Affairs to

Henry Louise Gates Harvard Professor — a way to carve up the map for surveying — to identify where someone lived and then browse the records.

Some experts said enthusiasm for the release could be dampened by the lack of a name index, especially for novices.

“It may very well frustrate the newcomers,” said Thomas Macentee, an industry analyst helping recruit volunteers for a name indexing effort sponsored in part by the Mormon-run FamilySearch.org. “It’s like showing up on Black Friday.

If you really want that TV set, if you really want that census record, you are going to be ready to go and you are going to keep at it no matter what.”

Publicly-traded Ancestry.com, which has over 1.7 million customers, is also working to make the census records searchable by indexing almost all fields and providing proprietary tools to mine the data.

Josh Hanna, a senior adviser for the company, said the 1940 census will be the biggest database of its kind. “It’ll be the deepest level of indexing we’ve ever done,” he said. Access to the index and tools will be available for free through the end of 2013.

Other individuals and organizations across the country are also working to ease the use of the records, including the New York Public Library, which is digitizing the full set of New York City’s 1940 telephone books to help people locate addresses.

Genealogy societies and libraries also have been holding packed workshops to educate their members.

blanket the country with its message, reaching out to over 10,000 publications and recruiting public officials, clergy and business owners to promote it.

Movie studios were enlisted to encourage their film stars to participate, including Cesar Romero, who later played the Joker in the Batman television series. A photograph of President Franklin D. Roosevelt taking the census also was used for the campaign.

The bureau also hired the managing editor of “Opportunity: A Journal of Negro Life” to galvanize support in the black community. However, studies in the 1940s revealed undercounts, including 13 percent of draft-age black men.

In a first for the National Archives and Records Administration, the nation’s recordkeeper plans to post the entire census on the Internet — its biggest digitization effort to date.

That might be unsurprising given that increasingly popular online ancestry services make vast amounts of genealogical data available. But for previous decennial census releases, researchers had to trek to NARA branches to crank through microfilm machines.

Still, finding a name in the 3.8 million digitized images won’t be as easy as a Google search: It could be at least six months after the release before a nationwide name index is created.

In the meantime, researchers will need an address to determine a census enumeration district

Party like mad ...

Or at least like ‘Mad Men’ might

BY ALISON LADMAN AND MICHELLE LOCKE

D

Associated Press

oes Don Draper do ¿nger food? Judging by the ¿rst four seasons of TV’s popular “Mad Men” show it doesn’t seem likely unless we’re talking about a belt of bourbon with a couple of smoking hot Lucky Strikes on the side.

But since that hardly sounds appetizing, we’ve come up with something a little tastier to greet the return of “Mad Men” on AMC on Sunday.

First up are the drinks, which include a classic martini — made with gin, easy on the vermouth — and an old fashioned, ad exec Draper’s drink of choice. This one’s made with rye, the way Don did in season three’s “My Old Kentucky Home,” episode.

We didn’t vault over the bar counter to ¿x it, though.

For food, we went retro, starting with a plate of deviled eggs, all the better if you can serve them on one of those dimpled trays made especially for this purpose. These have chopped ham and a dash of hot sauce for the “devilry” part. Serve with a smirk and your best impression of the piquant wit of Roger Sterling.

Stuffed celery is a grown-up twist on the old “ants on a log” children’s snack; this is something you can easily imagine the regal Joan Harris whipping up in her small kitchen.

We’ve also come up with an avocado and crab mini sandwich. Avocado — both as a food and color — was a big hit in the 1960s kitchen.

And, ¿nally, how about a cheese ball platter, the nutty classic that everyone cracks jokes about, right up until the plate’s scraped clean of its creamy, cheesy goodness. It’s just the thing for the season premiere that airs Sunday, a two-hour special written by series creator Matt Weiner.

Associated Press

An almond-coated cheese ball is almost always a crowd pleaser.

1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1⁄2 teaspoon hot sauce 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoon chopped pimento 1 avocado, pitted and cubed 1⁄2 cup lump crab meat Heat the oven to 400 F. Brush each slice of baguette on both sides with some of the melted butter. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake for 6 to 7 minutes, or until toasted and lightly golden.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, hot sauce and olive oil. Gently stir in the chopped pimento, avocado cubes and crab meat.

Arrange the baguette slices on a serving platter. Top each with some of the avocado and crab salad.

Cheese ball platter

Classic martini Ice 21⁄2 ounces gin 1⁄2 ounce dry vermouth 2 green olives In a cocktail shaker ¿lled with ice, combine the gin and vermouth. Shake vigorously, then strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with the olives.

Old fashioned 1 cube (or 1 teaspoon) sugar 2 maraschino cherries 2 slices orange 2 dashes bitters Splash of soda water 2 ounces rye whiskey Ice In an old fashioned glass, combine the sugar, 1 cherry, 1 orange slice, the bitters and the soda water. Muddle the ingredients together in the glass until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Add the rye and a couple ice cubes. Garnish with the remaining cherry and orange slice.

Deviled ham eggs Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 12 12 eggs 1⁄4 cup chopped smoked ham 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons yellow or Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Associated Press

A classic martini made with gin and vermouth is a must for any “Mad Men”themed gathering. Right, crab and avocado canapes mimic the color of many 1960sera kitchens.

1⁄2

teaspoon onion powder 1 tablespoon chopped pickle 1⁄2 teaspoon hot sauce Salt and ground black pepper Paprika, to garnish Chopped fresh parsley, to garnish Place the eggs in a large saucepan. Add enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the pan sit for 12 minutes, then drain the eggs and run under cold water until they are cool enough to handle. Peel the eggs.

Cut each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, collecting them in a food processor. Set the whites aside on a serving platter.

To the yolks, add the ham, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, pickle and hot sauce. Pulse the mixture until mostly smooth, then season with salt and pepper.

Spoon the yolk mixture into a zip-close plastic bag.

Use scissor to snip off one of the bottom corners about 1»2 inch up. Pipe the ¿lling into each egg white. Garnish with a pinch of paprika and chopped parsley.

Stuffed celery Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 12 4 ounces cream cheese 1⁄4 cup French dressing 1 tablespoon grated onion 1 tablespoon chopped pickle 3 tablespoons chopped stuffed green olives Twelve 4-inch lengths

celery Chopped fresh parsley, to garnish Celery leaves, to garnish In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, French dressing, grated onion, chopped pickle and chopped olives. Spoon the mixture into each of the celery ribs, then arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with parsley and celery leaves.

Avocado and crab canapes Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 12 Twelve 1⁄2 -inch-thick slices baguette 2 tablespoons butter, melted Salt and ground black pepper

Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 12 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 1 tablespoon grated shallot 1⁄4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper 1⁄4 cup chopped green olives 1⁄4 cup chopped black olives 1⁄4 cup chopped pimento 1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon paprika 1⁄3 cup sliced almonds, toasted 1 English cucumber, peeled and sliced Butter crackers, to serve In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, shallot, green pepper, green olives, black olives, pimento, black pepper, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, onion powder and paprika. Roughly form the mixture into a lump in the bowl and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 hour.

Using your hands, for the mixture into a ball. Roll the ball in the sliced almonds. Serve on a platter with vegetables and crackers.

With the moon in your sign, you’re in sync with the cosmic clock. The perfect moment to act is when you’re thinking about when the perfect moment to act might be.

Translation: now.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “I hate my job, but I think I’d be a

fool to quit. Just walking into the building takes all of my energy, and sitting at my cubical crushes my soul. I’m an outdoorsy Capricorn, 22 and living with my parents. They will be angry if I quit.”

Capricorn usually loves a challenge. In your case, the job you’ve chosen isn’t challenging enough, so the challenge becomes making yourself show up with a positive attitude and ready to do good work, a challenge you do not seem to be rising to meet. Perhaps your new challenge should be the difficult task of carrying on an employment search while currently employed. You can do it! And that way you can be sure you’re not acting irresponsibly or impulsively.

Horoscopes by Holiday

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Speaking publicly is often ranked among many people’s top fears, along with snakes and death.

The Aries sun and Mercury align to reduce those numbers and help you have the courage to speak what’s on your mind. You may also express yourself in other ways -- and not because you’re brave, but because it’s right or necessary.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s all about you now.

The sun and Mercury in your sign are rooting for you to express yourself and actualize your potential. Family and friends echo the cosmic support.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A seductive character enters your world. There is something terribly en-

gaging about this person, and even though you’re not sure you want to get involved, you’ll be magnetically drawn in.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You offered advice that wasn’t taken. No one wants to hear “I told you so,” especially when it happens to be true. Instead, you’ll offer compassion and a second chance, proving once more that you’re a stellar human being.

CANCER (June 22July 22). Your memory is strong and undiscerning.

You’ll recall important facts and less useful ones alike. With all the data swimming in your brain, focus requires more effort for you, but at the same time, you’ll be more creative.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You take your uniqueness for granted. You probably don’t even realize that you give people the opportunity to participate in situations they normally wouldn’t be able to access.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You want what you want, and you’re starting to think you might get it, too. Knowing the “why” will bring you closer to your goal -- and by the way, that is far more important than knowing the “how.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll get the communication started, fully aware of the difference between a conversation and a monologue. Others, not so much. So you may have to be the one to keep

the ball bouncing back and forth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll come across intriguing news from credible sources and will share it to captivate the interest of your friends, colleagues and loved ones. You’ll like the level of attention you command.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The people in charge can be demanding, stubborn and controlling. Step back and think.

You’ll cleverly find a way around the obstacles and difficulties that authority figures present.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You have the freedom to believe what you want to believe. It’s a freedom that people have fought and died for, and you’re not about to take

March is National Kidney Month Are You at Risk For The Silent Disease?

You know when you have a headache, sore throat, a cold or the flu. But do you know if you have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), a potentially fatal condition that’s often called “the silent disease” because it frequently isn’t detected until it has reached the later stages?

March is National Kidney Month. You could be at risk if any of the statements below apply to you: 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

You have diabetes You have high blood pressure or heart disease You have a family history of chronic kidney disease You are 60 years of age or older Your ethnic background is African-American, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander

According to the National Kidney Foundation, 26 million Americans have CKD, but many don’t know it.

The leading causes of CKD are diabetes and high blood pressure. Diabetes increases pressure inside the kidney’s filters. Over a period of time, this pressure damages the filters, which then leak protein into the urine. High blood pressure, or hypertension, means that the pressure of your blood against the walls of your blood vessels increases. If left untreated, hypertension can lead to CKD, heart attacks and strokes.

More clues as to whether or not you have CKD are the following symptoms: 1. fatigue, a loss of energy 2. poor appetite 3. difficulty sleeping 4. dry, itchy skin 5. muscle cramping at night

6.

7.

8.

9.

swollen feet and ankles puffiness around the eyes, particularly in the morning the need to urinate more often, especially at night unexpected weight loss or gain

If you have any of the risk factors or symptoms here, or don’t know whether or not you have any of the risk factors mentioned, ask your doctor immediately for tests, including blood and urine tests that can determine how your kidneys are functioning. If left unchecked, CKD can lead to cardiovascular disease, among other serious health problems, as well as kidney failure. It can even be fatal.

Ask one of our pharmacists about any concerns you have regarding Chronic Kidney Disease.
