Columbus councilmen will
determine Tuesday which ar-

money theyll receive to do the
project.
As of press time, Trotter
committee offcials could not
confrm who would be award-

tee member and
councilman Bill
Gavin said in
recent conver-
sations hes had
with other mem-

selected would
receive about fve
percent of the projects estimat-
ed $2 million cost, or $100,000.
J5/Broaddus, the frm the city
recently picked for project
management services, would
receive six percent, which
amounts to $120,000. Anoth-
er two-to-three percent would
need to be factored in for bond
attorneys, Gavin said. In total,
that would add 13-to-14 percent
to the initial project cost.
Bryan Brown & Associates,

WASHINGTON Minority and

Overall impressions of the nations
schools and teachers are similarly
positive among all groups of parents,
but deep demographic differences
emerge in the details of how parents

The divisions fall along the famil-

He crossed the stage inside the Kaye
Auditorium at Columbus Air Force Base
just like his classmates, but 2nd Lt. Jon
Koritz did something special Friday.
When Koritz, a 27-year-old from
Chapel Hill, N.C., became one of the 23
newest pilots in the U.S.
Air Force, he followed in
his fathers footsteps lit-
erally.
Maj. Tom Koritz grad-
uated from the Special-
ized Undergraduate Pi-
lot Training program at
CAFB in 1982.
Its a special moment crossing that
stage, Jon Koritz said. Its pretty neat
to be crossing the same stage 30 years
later.
Koritz had eight family members in
town for his graduation. His father was
not among that group, though.
Less than a decade after leaving
CAFB, Tom Koritz was killed in action
during Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
In 2008, at CAFB where Jon Ko-
ritz has spent the last year earning his
pilot wings the Koritz Clinic was re-
named in honor of his father, who was a
pilot-physician.

Duck Dynasty star greets
camo-clad wedding couple
The AssociATed Press
MARS, Pa. A camou-
fage-clad bride and groom
got a little advice from a be-
whiskered witness on their
wedding day: Duck Dynas-
ty star Willie Robertson.
WTAE-TV reports Rob-
ertson told the couple to
always love and forgive one
another as they were wed
Saturday morning at a Field
& Stream store near Pitts-
burgh.
Robertson popped in
for the nuptials of Mehgan
Cook, who sported a cam-
oufage sash on her dress,
and Charlie Miller, who was
completely clad in camo
gear.
The two hadnt planned
on marrying at the store but
Cook said they were eager
to meet Robertson.
I was going to cancel the
wedding cause I heard Wil-
lie was coming, Cook told
KDKA-TV.
Instead, Cook said, her
mother came up with the
idea of a wedding at the store
and they got a surprise
when Robertson appeared
during the ceremony.
Thats a frst for me, its
good to be a part of that,
Robertson said. They look
like my kind of folks with the
camoufage . that was cool.

Season 4 premiere, which
aired Wednesday, family
members threw a surprise

NYC museum exhibit shows
virtues of living small
By KAreN MATTheWs
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Many New York-
ers live in small apartments, yet
most of them dont camp out in a
micro-unit at a museum in order to
demonstrate the virtues of living in
tight spaces.
Challie Stillman and Lina Fran-
co arrived at the Museum of the
City of New York at 6 p.m. Friday
for a 24-hour stay in a studio apart-
ment thats part of an exhibit called
Making Room: New Models for
Housing New Yorkers.
The exhibit, which runs through
Sept. 2, also features designs that
were submitted to a small-apart-
ment competition announced by
Mayor Michael Bloomberg last
year.
Stillman and Franco normal-
ly live in a 650-square-foot apart-
ment in the Williamsburg sec-
tion of Brooklyn. The museums
325-square-foot studio is half that
size but seems spacious because
of the specially designed furniture
and appliances.
The murphy bed includes a
couch that slides under when the
bed is out of the wall. A chair con-
verts to a stepladder for reaching
storage spaces.
The kitchens under-the-counter
refrigerator, freezer and dishwash-
er leave ample work space. Stillman
and Franco invited six friends for
dinner Friday, but they had food de-
livered because the appliances are
not hooked up.
Everyone had a place to sit, had
a place to eat, and it worked out
perfectly, said Stillman, who is the
design director for Resource Furni-
ture, the distributor of the furniture
in the apartment.
Stillman said it would be pos-
sible for two people to live in the
apartment for real.
Youd have to edit your belong-
ings, defnitely, she said. And also,
you have to be neat. Everything has
to have its place, and if its not in its
place, and its messy in here, youre
going to start to get agitated.
Her partner, Franco, a lawyer,
couldnt quite see living in the mi-
cro-apartment.
We would need a little more
closet space, she said. Were both
girls and we have clothes. And
shoes.
Visitors to the exhibit Saturday
said they were impressed.
I would totally live in that apart-
ment if I were on my own, said
Rebecca Hersh of Highland Park,
N.J., who was accompanied by her
mother, Pam, and her two children,
ages 6 and 4. Its all about good de-
sign.
Museum-goer Gloria Feibus
said she has an actual 300-square-
foot Manhattan apartment and its
fne.
The only thing I dont have is a
dishwasher, and Im a built-in dish-
washer, she said.

By EMILy WAGSTER PETTUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON Funding for edu-
cation versus funding for prisons
its a constant source of ten-
sion when Mississippi lawmakers
write an annual budget.
Now, Republican Gov. Phil
Bryant says hell push to increase
the prison budget as he seeks to
focus on public safety during the
2014 legislative session.
It is unfortunate, but Correc-
tions is something were going to
have to put more money in, if we
are going to keep the really bad
people off the streets, Bryant
told reporters during an Aug. 1
interview at the Neshoba County
Fair.
The U.S Department of Justice
said in late July that Mississippi in
2012 had the second-highest in-
carceration rate in the nation, only
behind neighboring Louisiana.
The Mississippi Department of
Corrections budget increased 7.3
percent from fscal 2013, which
ended June 30, to fscal 2014,
which began July 1. Spending on
K-12 schools increased by 2.1 per-
cent during the same period. The
overall state budget increased 2.3
percent.
Bryant said the abuse of pre-
scription drugs is a huge prob-
lem, and the state might need
to consider treatment options for
nonviolent offenders who have
used, but not sold, illicit drugs.
During the past decade, Missis-
sippi has established an extensive
network of drug courts, which fo-
cus on rehabilitating, rather than
locking up, people who use illegal
substances.
We are going to have to fnd
that line where we say who needs
to go to prison because of that and
who needs treatment and who
needs to go to the drug court sys-
tem, Bryant said.
The governor also said the
state might consider whether
its cost-effective to have some
low-security inmates serve time at
home, monitored by ankle brace-
lets. This is less expensive than
traditional incarceration.
Im open to those discussions,
for nonviolent offenders, particu-
larly female, Bryant said. Tak-
ing that mother out of the home,
incarcerating her away from the
children, has obviously a detri-
mental effect on
her family.
The Depart-
ment of Correc-
tions publishes a
monthly fact sheet
on its website. The
most recent one
shows that as of
Aug. 1, Mississip-
pi had 26,274 inmates, of which
22,521 were in custody in state-
run or privately run prisons. The
rest were in other categories:
3,229 in community corrections
or medical leave, 483 in other
custody, 32 listed as escapees or
walk-aways and nine hospitalized.
The Aug. 1 inmate fact sheet list-
ed 23,904 men and 2,371 women.
The total is higher than on Aug.
1, 2012, when the state had 25,649
inmates, with 21,962 in custody in
state-run or privately-run prisons.
Bryant said hes interested
in ideas presented by Right On
Crime, an initiative supported by
prominent national conservatives
including former Florida Gov.
Jeb Bush and former U.S. House
Speaker Newt Gingrich. Among
other things, its website says that
for a prison to be considered suc-
cessful, it must reduce recidivism.
Bryant said he advocates a
larger role for prison ministries,
including one started by the late
Chuck Colson.
Prison Fellowship was found-
ed by Chuck Colson, President
Nixons hatchet man, in 1976,
the groups website says. After
he served time in a federal prison
camp, Chuck felt led by God to
honor a promise he made to re-
member prisoners and their fam-
ilies. That promise grew into the
worlds largest family of prison
ministries.
Gov. Bryant focusing on prison policy in 2014
Department of Justice says Mississippi has
second-highest incarceration rate in U.S.

Suspicious smell

Fairview Elementary students were evacuated from the building early Monday morning for suspicion of a gas leak.
Columbus Fire and Rescue responded to the scene and discovered the leak coming from a stove in the kitchen
that had not lit properly. The building was aired out and students returned to their classrooms by 8 a.m.
ThE ASSocIATEd PRESS
HATTIESBURG The Common
Core State Standards tests will be both
less expensive and better than Missis-
sippis own tests, state education off-
cials say.
The 20-state consortium develop-
ing the tests recently said theyll cost
$29.50 per student, and include two
tests a year for both English and math.
Mississippis test costs $30 per subject
area plus $17 for Mississippis MCT2
test more than $80 a year for a typi-
cal 10th grader.
The new tests will also give teachers
more information about their students,
said Stacey Pace, Lamar County School
District assistant superintendent.
It will tell us what students know
and make them think instead of guess-
ing at an answer, she told The Hatties-
burg American. The type of questions
that will be asked will not be your typ-
ical multiple choice question. The stu-
dents will have to actually tell how they
got their answer.
Richard Bailko, with the Mississippi
Department of Educations Offce of
Student Assessment, agrees that the
test being developed by the Partner-
ship for Assessment of Readiness for
College and Careers will test greater
depth of knowledge.
The questions from the MCT2 and
the Subject Area Tests are all multiple
choice and have only one answer per
item, he wrote in an email. The ques-
tions from the PARCC assessments
provide a wide span of items. To many
of the problems, there will be more
than one answer. Some questions will
say select all that apply or which four
answer choices out of seven are cor-
rect?

voice of the people
Stop making excuses
Things I learned from the
town meeting regarding the
railroad crossing closures:
Safety is very important to
Kansas City Southern and
to MDOT. So important
that after all this time with
no safety features, they are
fnally going to do something
about it. Except, darn it, they
cant afford to make these
safer if they dont save some
money by closing the other
crossings.
I am having a hard time
following the logic behind
this move, so please allow
me to break this down by
what was said at Thursday
nights meeting. With the new
industries moving into town,
there has been an increase
in rail traffc, and it could get
busier. Okay, sounds great
for the railroad. More traffc
means an increase in revenue
for them, correct? If they are
making more money, why
can they not afford to main-
tain the tracks now? And the
million-dollar question is this:
Why are they so concerned
with getting safety features
at the other crossings now?
After all, Kevin Stafford said
the population of Columbus
has been declining. So are you
saying that safety at the cross-
ings was not as important in
the 1950s, when my parents
moved to Ninth Avenue South,
and it was much busier?
This is such a blatant
money grab from the railroad
that as a town we should all
be insulted. Trust me, if they
werent going to make money
off of these closings, they
would not be doing it. Safety
has absolutely nothing to
do with this, no matter how
many times they make these
claims. They are benefting
from this, and we all lose. Oh,
I know that those few people
who showed up to talk about
the horns and the quality of
life on Southside will get the
noise-free zone, but at what
cost to the rest of us? I hear
the horns, too. Its a small
price to pay for living in an old
house on Southside. But to
allow the railroad to arbitrari-
ly close roads that people have
lived on all of their lives is just
wrong.
I urge EVERYONE to call
their councilmen and pro-
test, even if you dont live on
Southside. This is an issue
that will affect all of us in one
way or another. The railroad
owns this property, and they
should be made to maintain
it, just like small business
owners like myself maintain
our property. Stop making
excuses about why you cant
fx these crossings and fgure
out a solution that does not
involve closing streets.

comment
The following is an edited selection of reader
comments posted at the end of stories and columns
published on-line. More can be found at www.cdis-
patch.com.
Local voices: A letter from the mayor
Slim Burks: The mayor doth protest too much,
methinks, to also borrow from Shakespeare. I
think he did more damage to his case than any
letter writer could, capping it off with a very thinly
veiled threat to one of his constituents. And his ar-
gument that his son doesnt work for the company
getting the contract is almost funny. Right, Mayor,
there is absolutely no way J5 GBL is in any way
connected to J5/Broaddus and the two companies
are totally separated. Sure. We believe you.
08RoadKing: To me the problem is not your son
working for your former campaign managers com-
pany, which he does. The problem is your former
campaign managers company landed a lucrative
contract with the city and the fact that you see no
problem with this. Nice letter, but please under-
stand that there are some people here that are too
smart to drink of your kool-aid.
Supes explore new approaches to litter control
Mike Rathbone: There are certain areas prone
to having litter thrown in them around town. The
section of street between my house and Alabama
St. is one of those areas. Some of the pigs who vis-
it/live on my street toss their beer cans and food
bags out the window before they go home because
as we all know, it is so hard to have a small plastic
bag in your car for trash that you can dispose of
properly.
A solution would be to have citizens call in to
inform the city of those hot spots and quietly put
a camera there to watch for the offenders. Once
spotted, track them down and hand them a nice
fat ticket that will really put a dent in their wallet.
Rinse, lather, repeat.
Just to spice things up a bit, after the third ticket
is issued to you, you go to jail and get another fat
ticket. Each time after that, you go to jail and get
yet another fat ticket until your stupid self learns.
As for me on my street, dont think I wont chase
you down and get in your business about dumping
trash on my street when I see you do it. It wouldnt
be the frst time Ive done it.
A good night for the city of Columbus - The
Dispatch
Amy: So you think this was a good night for the
city? This city council has lost it. Mr Gavin is the
only one that is showing any man hood in this bad
movie. The railroad has an agreement with the city
to keep these crossing in good repair. This quick
easy money will be gone by the end of 30 days and
the city will not be able to reopen the streets. Lets
have some farsighted plans for a change. Take a
good look at who is making these decisions for the
citizens of Columbus. Can we not do better? If the
answer is no, cut your loses and move.

Dogs shouldnt ruff it, satellite TV
provider says
OXFORD This is
too easy.
A satellite TV
channel for dogs was
launched this month.
Not about dogs.
For dogs.
To watch.
For $4.99 (plus tax)
per month (in addition
to basic fees, other
charges).
Im sure theyve al-
ready hired a director
of program develop-
ment, but just in case,
some ideas:
Game Show:
How High Can You
Go? Male contestants
only. To be recorded
on a set with ample
trees, preferably with bark that
shows moisture well.
Superhero: Cat Stalker.
The protagonist/star responds
to the desperate woofs of fellow
canines whose lives are being
complicated by overly wiley
felines. In each episode, the star
innovates creates a household
mess for which the cat is sure to
be blamed.
Documentary: Great trees
of America. This will be an
homage to well-placed, conve-
nient trees without a lot of pesky
undergrowth or fencing at their
bases. It should only be shown
in selected markets. (Would be
too nerve-wracking for dogs who
live in the desert, plains or other
treeless regions.)
Comedy: Hey, Thats Not A
Tree. Home video clips of dogs
(mostly male) making urinary
miscalculations.
Educational: Training Your
Human. A wide-ranging series
offering tips and techniques to
convince your people that it is OK
to sleep on their beds, chew on
their shoes, explore their garbage
and, perhaps most importantly,
dine at their tables.
Mystery: Whats That
Smell? or, alterna-
tively, Is That You?
Based loosely on
Whats My Line?
from the 1950s,
blindfolded dogs take
turns identifying sub-
stances or other dogs
they have previously
encountered.
Action: Smash
That Cat. Part horror,
part James Bond. In
each episode a variety
of cats expend their
ninth lives in a series
of brutal mishaps. Spe-
cial episodes feature
squirrels instead of
cats. (Mature audienc-
es only.)
Instructional:
Dog Food? Im Not Eating Dog
Food. Episodes center on tricks,
tips and hints to elicit invitations
to the dinner table. The teacher
starts each episode by saying,
They say Im a member of the
family, but they dont eat out of a
bowl on the foor, do they?
Inspirational: Magic
Words. Offers advice on how to
motivate someone to say those
wag-inducing words, Good Dog!
Competition: Dogs Playing
Poker. Hint: The dog without a
tail always wins.
Sitcom: My 13 Puppies.
A romp. Follows the daily antics
of a mom and her frustrations in
coping with the wily antics of her
latest litter. The runt, of course, is
the shows star.
Competition: Howl Off.
Each week, a feld of contes-
tants chosen in local auditions
all across America is slowly
narrowed to a champion. Three
wolves sit as a panel of judges.
Sports: NASCARCHAS-
ING. Some shows dont end well,
but, honestly, thats why many
members of the audience tune in.
As Louis Armstrong sang so
well, it is a wonderful world.
Curious, too.
Think about it.
Special television programs
for children Sesame Street,
The Electric Company start-
ed a long time ago. Those early
programs have expanded into
entire channels for children. For
the most part, theyre free or
included in basic cable or satellite
packages.
Not so for dogs. TV for them
will be a premium purchase.
It wasnt that long ago that
hardware stores in most Missis-
sippi towns would have a pet
supply rack. Worm medicine.
Collars. A couple of brushes. Gro-
ceries had cans and sacks of dog
food. Three brands, maybe four.
Larger towns might have had
actual pet shops. But they were
always small. Never really busy.
Usually run by retirees.
Contrast that to todays big box
stores with multiple aisles stacked
wide and high with varieties of
pet cuisine and supplies. Special-
ized store chains now cater to the
pet trade. Some even have ftting
rooms for trying on pet costumes
and clothing in appropriate pri-
vacy.
In the olden days, animals
were taken to the veterinarian if
sick or hurt. Todays vets are on a
frst-name basis with their clients.
Owners receive texts when its
time for a physical or wellness
check.
Things have gotten better in
the world of pets.
Its not as ruff as it used to be.
I hear a cat channel is next.
It will be simpler.
Just a camera focused on a
tank of tropical fsh.
Cats are easy.
Potential pitfall? Football sea-
son is beginning. If the dog comes
in during an SEC contest and
whines to watch, Hey, Thats Not
a Tree, Im thinking the plug will
be pulled on pet programming.
There are limits.

PHILADELPHIA No one
may ever know Barbara Manci-
nis intentions when she alleged-
ly handed her dying 93-year-old
father a bottle of morphine at his
central Pennsylvania home.
Did she want to relieve his
pain? Help him end his life? Both?
Joe Yourshaw died four days
later at a hospital. That was after
a hospice nurse making a call to
check on Yourshaw arrived at the
home a short time later and called
911, despite a Do Not Resuscitate
order. In the interim, Yourshaw
was given a drug antidote, awoke
agitated over his hospitalization,
and became upset when told his
daughter might be in trouble, ac-
cording to Mancinis supporters.
Dont hurt Barbara, he cried,
according to Compassion &
Choices, a Denver-based group
that supports death with dignity
laws and has advocated for Manci-
ni since her arrest in June.
A trim, silver-haired hospital
nurse from Philadelphia, she is
just the latest person caught in the
crosshairs of the nations assist-
ed-suicide debate.
While Oregon, Washington,
Montana and Vermont allow
at least some types of assisted
suicide, and another half-dozen
states have considered it, most
states ban the practice, and a small
number of people are prosecuted
in the U.S. each year.
She told me that her father
wanted to die and she gave him
the morphine, Pottsville Police

Schools
continued from Page 1a
all races give their local
schools similar ratings
for preparing students for
college, the workforce,
citizenship and life as an
adult.
A majority of parents
say their children are
receiving a better educa-
tion than the one they re-
ceived, but blacks and His-
panics feel more strongly
than whites that this is the
case. The poll also shows
minorities feel they have
a greater infuence over
their childrens education.
And the ways parents
assess school quality and
the problems they see
as most deeply affecting
their childs school vary
greatly by parents race,
education and income lev-
el.
Sean Anderson, 30,
whose children will be in
the third and ffth grades
in Waxahachie, Texas,
this fall, says their schools
are probably fne com-
pared with others near
him in Dallas, but he wor-
ries their education isnt
as good as it could be.
I dont know. Com-
pared to the kids in the
U.K.? Probably not, An-
derson said.
Among the fndings of
the AP-NORC poll:
Parents from wealthi-
er families were less likely
than those from less affu-
ent ones to see bullying,
low parental involvement,
low test scores, low ex-
pectations and out-of-date
textbooks as serious prob-
lems.
Parents with a col-
lege degree point to un-
equal school funding as
the top problem facing
education, while parents
without a college degree
point to low expectations
for students as the biggest
challenge.
Black and Hispan-
ic parents are more apt
than white parents to see
per-student spending, the
quality of school build-
ings and the availability of
support resources as im-
portant drivers of school
quality.
Schools in many
ways are being parents,
role models, providing
after-school care. Espe-
cially middle schools;
theyre babysitting be-
cause theyre providing
after-school care, said
John Dalton, a 49-year-old
father of two from Canan-
daigua, N.Y, who teaches
high school English.
Dalton acknowledged
his Finger Lakes-region
town is affuent and said
money isnt determining
whether the students suc-
ceed or fail. But he said
he would like his son Pat-
ricks public Canandaigua
Academy to spend more
time on rigorous studies.
The focus isnt real-
ly on learning, its on so
many different things, and
the social aspect has tak-
en over for so many of our
students, he said.
When asked about
problems facing students,
parents from households
earning less than $50,000
a year were more worried
than parents making more
than $100,000. For exam-
ple, among less affuent
families, 52 percent said
bullying was a problem
and 47 percent worried
about too little paren-
tal involvement. Among
wealthier parents, those
numbers were 18 percent
and 29 percent.
Responsibility falls
to the parents because
teachers arent doing their
jobs, said John Barnum, a
father of fve who lives in
Las Vegas.
The educators are
not there to participate.
Theyre there to do a j-o-b,
Barnum said. The teach-
ers are sending kids home
with so much homework.
Theyre being sent home
with homework to have
the parents teach them or
have to teach themselves.
Digging into these
numbers reveals another
wide gap based on race.
Fifty-four percent of His-
panic parents and 50 per-
cent of black parents think
they have a great deal or a
lot of infuence over their
childs education. Only 34
percent of white parents
share this view.
When asking about
school funding, artistic
programs and technology,
racial identities divided
perceptions.
Sixty-one percent of
black parents saw inequal-
ity in school funding as a
problem, compared with
32 percent of white par-
ents. Thirty-six percent
of black parents saw in-
suffcient opportunities
for musical or artistic pur-
suits, but just 21 percent of
white parents did. And 50
percent of Hispanic par-
ents said a lack of comput-
ers and technology was a
problem, while 34 percent
of black parents and just
16 percent of white par-
ents said the same.
Hispanic parents were
signifcantly more likely
than white parents to see
keeping good teachers
as a problem, by a 67 per-
cent to 24 percent margin.
Fighting, violence and
gangs were a serious con-
cern for 53 percent of His-
panic parents, but only 13
percent of white parents.
There also are clear so-
cio-economic divides on
what qualities parents see
in good teachers. Parents
with less formal education
or lower incomes are more
likely to emphasize teach-
ers academic credentials
and experience in the
classroom, as are black
and Hispanic parents.
The survey was spon-
sored by the Joyce Foun-
dation, which works to pro-
mote policies that improve
the quality of teachers,
including the development
of new teacher evaluation
systems, enhance early
reading reforms and en-
courage innovation in pub-
lic schools.
Demolition
continued from Page 1a
County fre services
coordinator Sammy Fon-
dren said hes not sure ex-
actly how old the current
one is, but its a lot older
than the countys practice
of keeping an inventory of
all its property and equip-
ment.
Between millage and
rebate money, LCVFD
has funds set aside for the
cost of removal and con-
struction, which should
be in the neighborhood of
$170,000-$210,000.
The building is clear-
ly aging and District 2 is
long overdue for an updat-
ed facility on Jess Lyons
Road, Fondren said.
The building itself has
deteriorated to where the
metal siding and the roof-
ing is so thin that were
having continuous roof
leaks. The station can
accommodate the equip-
ment thats in there, but
we do have some thats
double stacked, Fondren
said. What were wanting
to do is expand the size
of the building and make
sure weve got adequate
training space, restrooms
and showers. Were basi-
cally copying the newer
stations that are being put
in like in District 3 (the Bill
McCord station in New
Hope). Its just basically
updating to accommodate
the new and changing
world of frefghting.
This is one of now three
major overhauls LCVFD
is overseeing. In District
1, the county acquired
land for a new main fre
station in Caledonia that
would eventually relocate
the facility in a location
with less traffc and pro-
vide space for volunteers
to train and conduct hose
tests without a temporary
shutdown of the towns
water supply. Earlier
this year, supervisors ap-
proved LCVFD to start
work on a new fre house
in the Rural Hill communi-
ty in District 3.
Something new stirs
interest in the general
public, Fondren said.
We try to partner with
the community. We try to
get people to be involved.
The size of the building,
obviously because of the
industry standards with
the fre trucks, trucks are
no longer small and sleek.
Theyre more bulky be-
cause of all the standards
the federal government
places on this. The trucks
are getting larger but the
station is not getting larg-
er unless we build a new
station.
The new facility on Jess
Lyons Road will be a four-
bay station with training
space, an offce and break
room, Fondren said. If
there is a shortfall on
funding for construction,
the department will bor-
row money from the coun-
ty as in the past for trucks
and what is borrowed will
be placed back on a payout
schedule, he said.
I dont think were
going to have to go down
that road on this station,
Fondren said.
District 2 comprises
of two other fre stations
on Caledonia-Kolola Road
and Wolfe Road.
Calls to District 2 Fire
chief Andy Perkins for
comment were not re-
turned as of press time.

an effort to emulate his
father. He says he never
felt any pressure to join
the Air Force. It was only
a matter of pursuing his
passions.
Ive always been inter-
ested in aviation, he said,
adding that he began fy-
ing at age 16 and got his
pilots license when he
was 18.
On Friday, following
the graduation, Koritz
didnt want to draw at-
tention away from all the
graduates accomplish-
ments. He credited his
classmates and his family
for helping him through
pilot training school.
I wouldnt have been
out here without their
help, he said.
Lt. Gen. (Dr.) Thom-
as Travis, the Air Force
Surgeon General, was the
keynote speaker at the
graduation Friday. Like
the late Maj. Tom Koritz,
he, too, is a pilot-physi-
cian.
He also knew the el-
der Koritz. He said it was
incredible that his son
was now a pilot in the Air
Force.
It actually says a lot
about great Air Force
families, Travis said.
A lot of us, our parents
served in the Air Force
and their children served
in the Air Force, and that
is very true for the Kori-
tz family as well. I knew
Tom. Great pilot. Great
physician. Tragic that he
was killed. But as I men-
tioned today during the
graduation speech, he
would be so proud of his
son.
The next stop for Jon
Koritz is Seymour John-
son Air Force Base in
North Carolina. He will
fy F-15 Strike Eagles.

a decision and we have
a proposal to make to
the council on Tuesday,
Armstrong said.
Gavin, a drafting and
design instructor at East
Mississippi Community
College, said with the cur-
rent budget, its probable
the frm would not be able
to complete every item on
the citys list of desired
improvements, which in-
cludes installing a new
sound system, a new el-
evator from the Second
Avenue North entrance
and Wi-Fi access. The
list also included upgrad-
ing the restrooms and
lighting as well as outside
improvements including
new copper awnings, re-
strooms in the courtyard
and benches.
Its going to boil down
to the committee making
some decisions on some
certain things, he said.
I would go through and
do the inside renovations
frst. Id do the painting,
the carpet, the lighting
fxtures and redo the
bathrooms and plumb-
ing fxtures. Those are
things we could handle
in house. Then ...we could
do the new sound system,
and what we had left af-
ter we accomplished that
could give the city a bet-
ter guide of... can we do
the facade? Can we do the
exterior restrooms or the
elevator?
Funding for the project
comes from a 20-year in-
lieu tax agreement with
Columbus Light & Water.
The city will pay back
$200,000 a year for 20
years.
The council will meet
3 p.m. at the municipal
complex.

Cant is only a state of mind.
But when youre seriously
injured, the doubts can be as
big a hurdle to overcome as the
physical damage to your body.
John Long has faced the fear
and stared it down.
On Saturday, Long beat
that fear for the second time
in as many weeks and showed
he is an inspiration to athletes
everywhere by completing the
second annual Possum Town
Triathlon in Columbus.
Long, a C-7 complete quadri-
plegic from Louisville, received
assistance from friend John Ar-
nett and his brother, Tanner,
to fnish the 600-yard swim,
17-mile bike ride, and 3.3-mile
run in 2 hours, 59 minutes, 44
seconds.
When you frst get hurt,
you really dont have a lot go-
ing on, Long said. I knew
the sport would be tough, and
I wasnt sure I could do it. I saw
a YouTube video of a paraplegic
doing it and I realized it is pos-
sible. I started getting the gear
ready and progressed from
there. I started swimming and
everything I did was kind of
hard. I would start swimming
and think it was tough and end-
ed up pushing through it and
learning how to swim again. I
got a hand cycle and a racing
chair and learned how to do ev-
erything. I stay busy doing it.
It is like a full-time job for me,
and I am just starting out. I am
blessed to be able to do it again.
It feels good to get out there
and feel like an athlete, too, and
get to mix it up.
Long was injured Oct. 4,
2010, when the car he was rid-
ing in rolled over and struck a
culvert. Long said his friend
who was driving fell asleep.
Initially, Long said he couldnt
move his arms, but he returned
to the gym after he was dis-
charged from the hospital and
began building strength in
his shoulders and in his arms.
About six months after the
accident, he said he entered a
5-Kilometer race and compet-
ed in an every-day wheelchair.
Since then, Long has gradu-
ated to a hand cycle, which he
used Saturday to complete the
cycling portion of the sprint
triathlon, and a racing cycle,
which he used to complete the
run. He said he is still learning
and hopes he will be able to
compete in the Half Ironman
Triathlon next April in New
Orleans. Ironman Triathlons
feature a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-
mile bicycle ride, and a mara-
thon (26.2 miles).

Teherans ability to work
through trouble im-
pressed manager Fredi
Gonzalez, who said its
more proof of the young
right-handers added ma-
turity in his breakout sea-
son.
Teheran made it
through six
s c o r e l e s s
innings and
a tired At-
lanta bull-
pen held on
Sunday for
a 2-1 victory
against the
Washington
Nationals.
The Braves won two
of three in the series and
stretched their NL East
lead over the second-place
Nationals to 15 games.
Both teams exhausted
their bullpens in the Na-
tionals 8-7 victory in 15
innings on Saturday night,
making it important for
the Braves that Teheran
protect Atlantas relievers
as long as possible. The
Nationals had two runners
with no outs in each of the
frst three innings, putting
a strain on Teherans pitch
count and making Gonza-
lez nervous in the dugout.
Im thinking hes right
at 60 pitches in three in-
nings and you know your
bullpen is spent, Gon-
zalez said. Youre think-
ing man, Oh man. He
did a nice job getting us
through the sixth. Once
he got us through six we
were thinking weve got a
shot here with the guys we
have.
Four Atlanta relievers
combined to preserve the
victory for Teheran (10-6).
Craig Kimbrel pitched
the ninth for his 39th
save. After Denard Span
reached on an infeld hit,
Kimbrel struck out An-
thony Rendon and Bryce
Harper.
The game ended when
third base umpire Marvin
Hudson ruled Harper went
around on an attempted
check swing.

BROOKLYN, Mich.
Joey Logano gave Ford a
Sprint Cup sweep in Mich-
igan and enabled team
owner Roger Penske to
celebrate a victory in his
home state.
Now Logano can start
to envision
a happy fn-
ish to what
has been
an eventful
season for
the 23-year-
old driver.
We r e
close, were
close, Logano said.
What a great place to
win what a great time to
win, being in Fords back-
yard.
Logano boosted his
chances of reaching the
Chase for the Sprint Cup,
winning Sunday for the
frst time this season in a
fuel-mileage race at Mich-
igan International Speed-
way.
Logano and Kevin Har-
vick breezed past Mark
Martin with just over
three laps to go in the 400-
mile, 200-lap race. Martin
had been trying to stretch
fuel, but when he faltered,
Logano held off Harvick.
The victory put Logano
in 13th place in the stand-
ings. Hes seven points be-
hind Martin Truex Jr. for
the second wild card.
It has been an up-and-
down year for Logano.
He and teammate Brad
Keselowski were docked
25 points each after NA-
SCAR inspectors confs-
cated parts from the rear
suspensions of their cars
before the April 13 race at
Texas.
More recently, Logano
has had to recover from
back-to-back 40th-place
showings at Daytona and
Loudon, but hes in the
middle of a wild race for
the fnal Chase spots.

First settlement reached in Sandusky case
By MARK SCOLFORO
The Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa.
Penn State University never
may be able to fully shake off
the Jerry Sandusky child mo-
lestation scandal, but news
one victim has settled and oth-
er claimants may soon follow
marks a legal milestone after
almost a year of negotiations.
Attorney Tom Kline said
Saturday that a 25-year-old
suburban Philadelphia man
known as Victim 5 in court
flings had completed the
agreement with the universi-
ty, the frst to come to terms
with the university that once
employed Sandusky as an as-
sistant football coach.
Another attorney, Mike
Boni, one of four lawyers
collectively representing 10
claimants including the
young man whose complaint
triggered the Sandusky crim-
inal investigation said Sun-
day those claims were also
close to being resolved.
Id be troubled if it didnt hap-
pen this week, Boni said. Were
not signed off, but were close.
Another lawyer, Jeff Ander-
son, said his two cases are not
that near to being resolved.
Its still a work in prog-
ress, Anderson told The As-
sociated Press on Sunday. If
somebodys talking about they
have deals done, its not us.
The Philadelphia Inquirer
reported Saturday that 26 of 31
claims are close to being settled,
which would validate the strate-
gy used by Penn State to com-
pensate Sanduskys victims,
said Richard Serbin, an Altoona
lawyer who has represented sex
abuse victims for 25 years.

Sundays Golf Scores
Long completed. Last week,
Long and friend John Ar-
nett, of McCool, competed
in the Tri4Life in Brandon.
Long completed that race in
3:10:37. The event features
a one-third mile swim, a 16-
mile bike ride, and a 5-K run.
It was real tough, Long
said. I actually was like, Why
am I doing this? I fnished and
it was an awesome feeling.
Long credits Arnett and
his brother, Tanner Long,
for their help in helping him
break down barriers. Ar-
nett was with Long for the
600-yard swim, guiding him
through the water and mak-
ing sure he stayed afoat in
his wetsuit and swim brace.
From there, Arnett had to
help Long change clothes
and get him situated on the
hand cycle. Most of the time
they spent in the transition
area focused on taping rods
to Longs hands that he in-
serted into the slots of the
apparatus he used to turn the
cycles wheels. Unfortunate-
ly, the tool on Longs right
hand broke at mile No. 15, so
the team had to stop and get
assistance.
Luckily one of the guys
who was helping here I
think it was a freman had
some tools and we fxed it up
real quick and put it back on
and kept going, Arnett said.
By the 3.3-mile run, Ar-
nett said he had to dig deep
to keep up with Long. He
said they plan to do as many
events together as they can.
On July 27, John Long
and Arnett competed in the
Heart O Dixie Triathlon in
3:51:46. The event features
a half-mile swim, a 27-and-
a-half-mile bike ride, and a
seven-mile run. The team of
Long and Arnett completed
the frst phase in 29:52, the
second in 1:33:01, and the
third in 1:47:35.
Long did the swimming
and running events, while Ar-
nett did the cycling and the
running events.
Arnett said it is inspira-
tional and humbling to
help Long break down barri-
ers and realize what he can
accomplish.
Life knocked him down
and he got back up and kept
going, said Arnett, who is
from McCool. He keeps
going and it motivates us. I
wish everybody could have a
chance to watch him so they
can feel the way we feel.
According to Apparelyzed,
a website that provides spi-
nal cord injury peer support,
quadriplegia is caused by
damage to the cervical spi-
nal cord segments at levels
C1-C8. Damage to the spinal
cord is usually secondary to
an injury to the spinal verte-
brae in the cervical section of
the spinal column. The injury
to the structure of the spinal
cord is known as a lesion
and may result in the loss of
partial or total function in all
four limbs, meaning the arms
and the legs. Quadriplegia is
defned in different ways de-
pending on the level of inju-
ry to the spinal cord. C1C4
usually affects arm sensation
and movement more so than
a C5C7 injury. However, all
quadriplegics have or have
had some kind of fnger dys-
function.
Arnett has known John
and Tanner for six or seven
years. He said serving in a
support role for Long has be-
come a hobby he loves to do.
It is even more satisfying to
remember how the accident
impacted Long and how he
has recovered mentally and
physically.
He is shining brighter
now, Arnett said. It was a
process. At frst, there was
nothing really going on. It
was just getting use to every-
thing. Little by little, piece
by piece, we started getting
equipment and getting out
there. Like he said, he is ad-
dicted to it. He and I are ad-
dicted to it.
Arnett said he didnt com-
pete in triathlons or mara-
thons before teaming with
Long. He said they bicycled
together for a half marathon
in their frst race. Since then,
the bug has infected Arnett
and Long and keeps them
motivated in training so they
are ready for the next stop.
On Saturday, Long and
Arnett had to adjust to some
technical diffculties when
the apparatus that was taped
to Longs right hand and
inserted into the steering
wheel to turn the bicycle he
used for the 17-mile bicycle
ride broke. Arnett said the
mishap at mile 15 wasnt go-
ing to stop them.
Long is looking forward
to getting faster and to us-
ing better equipment. He
thanks Boardtown Bikes, of
Starkville, for helping him
with his equipment. Without
them and the support he re-
ceives from his brother and
Arnett, he knows he wouldnt
be able to realize a goal he
thought of when he was in
the intensive care unit in the
hospital.
It is 90 percent mental
and 10 percent physical,
Long said. You hear that
at frst and are like, What?
It really is true. You battle
through it and you learn how
do everything different. The
beauty of it is you enjoy things
a lot more. It make take me
an hour to get dressed, but I
am excited I am dressed and
here. You amaze yourself ev-
ery day with little goals.
Mentally, it was fear for
a long time. It looked pretty
chaotic at frst. Finally I re-
laxed my body and relaxed
my mind and fgured I would
kind of foat a little bit. I was
trying to perfect a stroke. I
kind of do a backstroke now,
and I got that fnally done.
The racer I had done a good
bit. Putting the racer in with
the swim and the run was
the tough part. It is a lot of
strengthening my back.
Long said he and his team
probably spent two days pre-
paring for the Possum Town
Triathlon. He said his brother
and Arnett push him and he
said he pushes them prob-
ably too much sometimes
so he can throw fear to the
win and compete.
I am hooked, Long said.
It has got me. You just get
where you get more compet-
itive. You want to fnish the
frst few times. Then you
want to see if you can actually
beat somebody.
But Long admitted it took
a couple of months for him to
lose the fear he had after get-
ting injured. He said he heard
all of the talk that he would
never be independent again
and wondered what he would
be able to do with his life.
When I frst got injured,
I was scared to turn the TV
on, Long said. It took me
forever to learn how to get in
my chair from the bed. Then
you just fgure it out.
As for triathlons, there
was the fear of the pool. I had
probably 10 people out there
watching me and I would
freak out. Within a weekend,
I just felt relaxed and now I
can go out there myself and
swim. It took months. It was
a mental battle.
Now I am completely
independent, and getting
out here racing shows oth-
er people that are injured or
anybody that they can get out
here and push and they can
be real athletes. That is the
key to being healthy.
Long has to take precau-
tions because he doesnt
sweat, so it is easy for him
to overheat. Fortunately,
the overcast conditions Sat-
urday cooled temperatures
and helped Longs body tem-
perature stay regulated. He
said he forgets he is disabled
while he is on the course and
enjoys being an athlete again.
He hopes his ability to com-
pete in triathlons shows oth-
ers they can do anything they
put their mind to.
Now that I know I can do
it, I am the most confdent
person in the world, said
Long, who is married and
has two children. I feel like
there isnt anything I cant do.
Nothing. As long as you have
the right prep and equipment,
it is pretty much limitless as
far as what you can do. It
takes a little longer, but you
can do it. I never thought I
would be able to do a triath-
lon. When I was in ICU, I
decided I wanted to do one.
It took me a couple of years,
but I just keep trying to push
it and break barriers.
I feel like I am a guy who
is trying to push himself. If it
inspires people, I am excited
about it and glad. I just want
to push my body and mind
and keep healthy. I want to
inspire people to keep mov-
ing. If you keep moving, it is
the key to health and feeling
good. I am in a wheelchair
and I feel like I am 8 feet tall
and I can walk again when I
get through. It can do that for
you because it is such a men-
tal battle. You think, I cant
do this and youre out on the
course and somehow your
mind tricks you and youre
back on the course next week
and doing it again.
back at his alma mater as
a recruiting specialist on
coach Dan Mullens staff.
This place is very
special, Robinson said.
It is near and dear to my
heart. I was always wait-
ing for the right opportu-
nity to give back in some
way. This seemed like the
right time and the right
opportunity.
When Mullen was
hired fve years ago, his
initial plans included
fnding a way to increase
the coaching staff. He
felt like more people and
more funds were needed
for those positions. As the
Bulldogs have won more
on the football feld, the
ability to grow that staff
has followed.
Robinson will work
with Director of Player
Personnel Rockey Felker
to put together a recruit-
ing class that will best ft
MSUs needs. Originally
recruited by Felker, Rob-
inson played one season
under him before Sherrill
came on as head coach.
Robinson primary duty
will be to evaluate high
school juniors and seniors.
You want experience,
and with Sleepy, you have
that experience, Mullen
said. You have someone
that has lived in this state
their entire life. They
know the back roads.
At the same time, they
played the game on a high
level and they know what
we need to help get to that
next level.
Robinson spent the
past 16 seasons as a high
school coach, and has
lived in Starkville the past
12 years. His coaching ca-
reer most recently includ-
ed a stop at Durant High
School. Prior to that, he
spent four seasons as foot-
ball coach at East Oktib-
beha County High.
I am looking forward
to seeing it from the oth-
er side, Robinson said.-
Coaching has been a bless-
ing, and I am grateful for
the opportunities. In the
past, I was working with a
certain number of young
men, helping them un-
derstand team goals and
chemistry. A lot of players
looked up to me because
they were all trying to get
where I had been.
Now the situation
changes a little bit. I am
trying to evaluate young
players on their talent, but
I am also looking at their
heart and their desire.
At MSU, you are taking
those three-star recruits
and coaching them up.
I have to fnd those play-
ers who have that special
quality inside you know
our coaches can relate to.
Felker is in his 12th
season at his current po-
sition. Also a former quar-
terback at MSU, Felker
spent fve seasons as head
coach and later returned
to the program under
Sherrill. Felker and Rob-
inson give MSU an added
boost of familiarity with
the area.
For fve years, my fam-
ily and I have been invest-
ed in this program and
this university, Mullen
said. With Rockey and
Sleepy, you are talking
people who have been in-
vested in this place their
whole lives. You cant un-
derestimate how import-
ant that is. It gives you an
extra boost in everything
you are trying to do.
Robinson said he
learned a lot coaching at
small schools, like East
Oktibbeha. Always cast
in the underdog role, he
sees some comparison
as MSU continues to
battle to get to the top of
the Southeastern Con-
ference, which has had a
member team win
At East Oktibbeha,
I found young men who
wanted encouragement
and guidance, Robinson
said. As a coach, you can
never underestimate the
ability you have to infu-
ence and mold a young
mind. You have to keep
working hard and you
have to keep believing.
The same thing is
happening here. You have
the right people in place
to make special things
happen for this universi-
ty.
Meanwhile for Robin-
son, coaching is now in
his blood. He is ready for
next chapter and any sub-
sequent ones that follow.
Obviously, I would
like to be on the feld ac-
tively coaching one day,
Robinson said.It is some-
thing I look forward to.
You always have to have
goals and something you
are trying to achieve.
That is what makes it fun
to go to work.

least, Logano said. Weve
just got to keep that mo-
mentum going. It just goes
to show, as long as nothing
goes wrong knock on
wood weve been pretty
good. Weve had some good
speed in our cars.
Everything went pretty
much according to plan at
Michigan. Logano won the
pole Friday and took Sun-
days race by a second over
Harvick, who is fourth in
the standings.
I was very pleased with
the day, Harvick said. Its
just going to come down to
getting on a hot streak over
10 weeks and not making
any mistakes.
There are three races
left before the Chase, and
the jockeying for the fnal
spots is just as muddled as
it was before Sundays race.
Keselowski, the defending
champion, is eighth with
667 points, but Kurt Busch
is now only two points be-
hind him after a third-place
showing Sunday.
Greg Biffe (663) is 10th.
Kasey Kahne (659) and
Truex (653) are in line to be
the wild cards, but Logano
closed a lot of ground.
Points leader Jimmie
Johnson lasted less than 60
laps Sunday before engine
trouble knocked him out.
He has a 41-point lead over
Clint Bowyer.
Biffe fnished ninth af-
ter winning the previous
two Cup races at Michigan.
His victory in June was the
1,000th for Ford Motor
Company across NASCARs
three national series Cup,
Nationwide, and Truck.
Biffe drives for Roush
Fenway Racing. This time,
it was Penskes turn to cel-
ebrate.
I go back about 30 years
here at the track this is
probably one of the biggest
wins, Penske said. I say
its my home state, its my
home track, and Detroits
my city.
It was the third Cup win
of Loganos career, and it
came after he posted the
ninth-fastest pole-winning
speed in NASCAR history
during Fridays qualifying.
Johnson, Kyle Busch,
and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
were among the big names
to have problems, but the
race was a clean one for
Logano in his No. 22 Ford.
He was battling Kurt Busch
for the lead at the very start
and needed only to outlast
Harvick at the end.
The race began with 10
of the frst 17 laps under
caution. There were nine
cautions, and Logano and
Kurt Busch led for 94 of the
200 laps.
The 54-year-old Martin
emerged late, making a bid
for his frst Cup win since
2009, but his fuel didnt
hold up. He fnished 27th.
We saved a bunch of
gas but we needed one
more yellow, Martin said.
One more yellow and we
would have been in good
shape.
Johnson fnished 40th
and is now winless in 24
Cup starts at MIS. His lost
weekend began when a
practice crash Saturday
forced him to use a backup
car and start in the back of
the feld. He quickly made
his way into contention
before the engine problem
ended his day.

season for the Nationals, who have lost
three of four after fve straight victories.
I think in that situation you cant really
call that, Harper said, especially when
the home plate umpire says, No about
three times and doesnt want to check.
They check and they bang me. Thats one
less pitch I get to see against him.
Kimbrels a great closer. I think trying
to see as many pitches as you can against
him is huge. The deeper I get in the count
makes me stronger.
Harper, who had two hits, said he didnt
mind being booed before every at-bat
during the series.
I love these fans, Harper said. These
people, theyre absolutely unbelievably
amped up for their team.
Freddie Freeman and Chris Johnson
had RBI singles off Gio Gonzalez (7-6) in
the frst. Gonzalez gave up only two hits
and no runs in the next six innings.
Teheran had baserunners reach second
in fve of his six innings. He retired the Na-
tionals in order only in the fourth.
Teheran gave up fve hits with three
walks as the Nationals stranded nine run-
ners in his six innings.
I know anytime I got in trouble like that
I stay confdent, Teheran said, adding he
wanted to make it deeper in the game.
There was no sign of the tensions be-
tween the teams that began when both
benches emptied after Teheran hit Harper
in a Braves win Aug. 6 at Washington.
Braves pitchers hit Harper with two
pitches in Atlantas victory Friday night.
Washingtons Stephen Strasburg hit Jus-
tin Upton in the frst inning Saturday
night and was ejected after throwing two
straight pitches behind Andrelton Sim-
mons back.
There was no reaction from the umpires
or the Nationals on Sunday when Teheran,
who often pitches inside, hit Rendon to
open the third. Teheran leads the National
League with 13 hit batters.
Its over with, Gonzalez said of the
friction. Its two boys playing in the sand-
lot in the schoolyard. Its over with. I think
both teams have respect for each other, ob-
viously. There are a lot of good players on
that club and weve got good players and I
dont see anything going on the rest of the
(season).
Harper followed with a single but Tehe-
ran pitched out of trouble.
The Braves scored twice in the frst.
B.J. Upton walked and stole second. Rook-
ie second baseman Phil Gosselin, making
his frst start in the majors, reached on a
bunt single for his frst hit. Freeman and
Johnson singled home runs.
The Nationals broke through for a sev-
enth-inning run off Scott Downs and Da-
vid Carpenter, with Jayson Werth hitting
an RBI single.
n noTES: Simmons, Brian McCann,
Jason Heyward and Justin Upton were
out of the starting lineup for rest. Hey-
ward and Simmons entered the game
as defensive replacements. ... The start
of the game was delayed by rain for 39
minutes. ... Werth started following pre-
game concerns about tightness in his
lower back. His seventh-inning single
extended his hitting streak to 10 games.

EAR ABBY:
My husband
lost his job
more than a year
ago because his
plant closed.
He was almost
retirement age,
so he took an
early retirement.
The problem is
he isnt adjust-
ing well to the
change.
He has his
hobbies, but he
seems to have
lost interest in
them. He is angry
a lot of the time and lost at
other times. I understand its
a huge adjustment for him,
but Im concerned that it has
been going on too long. I have
tried to get him interested in
things, but he doesnt take
my suggestions well anymore.
He thinks I want him out of my
hair, but its not true. I want
him to be happy.
I know hes depressed
but he denies it. When other
people ask how he likes
retirement, he says he loves
it. I think he feels silly for not
enjoying it. He doesnt want to
spend money for counseling,
even though he knows he can
get the fee adjusted according
to our income.
Im at a loss about what to
do to help him. He reads your
column regularly, and I think
he would take seriously any
advice you could offer. CON-
CERNED WIFE IN MICHIGAN
DEAR CONCERNED WIFE:
Retirement is not for everyone,
and not everybody loves it.
Thats why its
so important
that before a
person retires,
he or she have a
plan in place for
staying mentally
and physically
active.
Your hus-
band may have
valuable skills
he could pass
on by mentoring
others. He could
volunteer in the
community, de-
livering meals to
shut-ins, coach-
ing youngsters sports, help
out at the police department
or a hospital. All he needs to
do is go to his computer and
type in volunteer opportuni-
ties in Michigan to fnd plenty
of opportunities. He can do-
nate as little or as much time
as he wants. But frst, he will
have to admit that he ISNT
loving retirement and needs an
outlet. Please make sure he
sees this column.
DEAR ABBY: Im 12, and for
the last fve months my family
hasnt been getting along. We
act like we love each other, but
Im not so sure. My mom and
dad have been fghting. I saw
something Mom left on our
computer she had been look-
ing at, and the title was How
to Let Go of Emotions During
the Divorce Process. I dont
know if my parents are getting
a divorce or not, but its slowly
tearing my family apart, and I
dont know what to do. What
can I do to prevent it? CON-
FUSED PRE-TEEN
DEAR CONFUSED: Tell your
mother you saw the article she
left on the computer, and ask
her if she and your dad are
separating. If the answer is
yes, tell her you hope theyre
getting counseling.
It is important you under-
stand that while they both
love YOU, they have reached a
point where their relationship
may no longer be working.
Much as you might like to,
there is nothing you can do
to head this off because their
problem has only to do with
them and not you.
DEAR ABBY: I was just
wondering why when men drink
and get drunk, they always talk
about themselves. HEATH-
ER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
DEAR HEATHER: They may
do it because the alcohol
allows them to loosen up and
open up. Or, because they

Dear Abby
Dear Abby
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug.
19). You feel; therefore you
are. Your confdence will
strongly affect the success
of your efforts. In September,
dont get lazy just because
things go so right. Youll have
to work for the bonus you get
in October, but this will ready
you for the next professional
challenge. Youll be favored in
a decision in December. Can-
cer and Scorpio people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are:
2, 4, 44, 28 and 10.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Most people would be
stressed by todays fnancial
decisions, but not you. Youll
remain calm and in control, as-
signing no special power to the
dollars and cents in question.
Its just money.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). You dont have to reach
to come up with solutions.
Your imagination is overfowing
with creative fxes. It seems
to be an endless resource for
entertainment, as well.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You have romantic mojo at
your fngertips, and whomever
you touch will feel happier,
lighter and more loved be-
cause of your attention. Youll
spend most of the day simply
spreading good energy.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). There is a message in the
timing of things. What happens
easily and quickly will bring you
good fortune. If its taking too
long, bail. Today, its better to
do nothing than to stand in a
long line for something youre
not sure about.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Some cry for help at the
slightest provocation. You
like to deal with things on
your own. A rescuer will step
in today, whether or not you
deem the situation dire. Its all
relative.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Families may seem to come
as a package deal today. You
wont get to pick and choose
from the group you want to
spend your time with. Its all or
nothing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Wrong turns are no big deal
as long as you quickly try to
fnd the way back to the right
road. There is absolutely no
sense in staying on a road that
clearly is not leading you in the
direction you want to go.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You dont want to hear
declarations of love. Youd
rather know that someone
really appreciates the way you
think and operate. Your true
love is the one who pays the
closest attention to detail.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21). Your ideas are
stellar, and you have the
experience to back them up.
Dont let past success go to
your head, though. Someone
with far less experience could
offer the winning strategy, so
listen up.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). As long as youre making
plans, you may as well include
your most capable, generous
and talented friends. They will
contribute unexpected nuanc-
es and create memories in the
process.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Holding on too tightly to
an idea in your head of what
will make you happy might
prevent you from seizing the
opportunity for even greater
happiness, the likes of which
youve never conceived. Stay
open.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Even if you are the
only one who is limiting you,
self-limitation can be the
hardest to overcome. So talk
through your situation with a
friend who might shed light on
the part that is so familiar to
you that you cant see it.

Jamaican sprinter Bolt fnishes worlds with three more gold medals
By PAT GRAHAM
The Associated Press
MOSCOW A barefooted
Usain Bolt bopped and boogied
his way around the track on a cel-
ebratory lap.
This was his party, his mo-
ment and his stage after winning
a third gold medal on the last day
of the world championships.
First, the Jamaican jammed to
the reggae sounds of Bob Mar-
ley. Later, to a spiced-up beat that
almost had him falling down
Bolts only misstep of the cham-
pionships.
And when his celebrating was
over, Bolt fung his spikes into the
crowd. He certainly didnt need
them anymore. His work was fn-
ished.
On tired legs, Bolt grabbed the
gold-colored baton for his anchor
leg of the 4x100-meter relay Sun-
day and hurried toward the fnish
line as if he were being chased.
He wasnt. At these champion-
ships, no one could keep up.
For me, my aim is to contin-
ue hard (toward) the greatness
thing, said Bolt, whose team
fnished in a world-leading time
of 37.36 seconds. Continue dom-
inating.
He defnitely accomplished
that, taking gold in the 100, 200
and the relay. With that perfor-
mance, Bolt became the most
decorated male athlete in world
championship history with eight
golds and two silvers, moving
past Carl Lewis (8 golds, 1 silver,
1 bronze).
To be able to rise to the oc-
casion when an entire stadium
full of people are either rooting
for you or want to see you fail
and youre able to hold it togeth-
er, that takes talent, said Justin
Gatlin, who anchored the U.S.
to a silver medal despite mo-
mentarily stepping outside his
lane. Its about rising to the
occasion. He understands what
that means.
Almost overlooked in the Bolt
frenzy was the performance
of teammate Shelly-Ann Fras-
er-Pryce, who also won three
sprinting events. She fnished
it off by breaking away from the
feld in the 4x100, easily beating
an American squad that strug-
gled to get the baton around
again.
Originally fnishing third after
a bad exchange, the Americans
were later bumped up to second
after France was disqualifed.
