Ads pick up in Mississippi Democrat Wadkins targets

Trent Kelly on health care
special election for US Senate The Associated Press

JACKSON — Randy Wadkins, the Democrat

Poll released Tuesday shows the special election
has a strong chance of going to a Nov. 27 runoff
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Candidates and po-
litical action committees are increas-
ing advertising ahead of the crowded
Nov. 6 special election for a U.S. Sen-
ate seat in Mississippi.
Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-
Smith released a TV ad Tuesday
showing her in blue jeans and
boots at her family’s cattle auction
in Brookhaven. She relates cattle
ranching to serving in Washington
and says: “You can’t be afraid to
put your boots on and clean up the
mess.”
In his own ad released Tuesday,
Democratic challenger Mike Espy
wears a suit, sits in front of book-
shelves and looks directly at the cam-
era as he says: “Mississippi is too
often defamed, dismissed and dis-
respected. ... I’ll work to correct the
stereotypes and attract companies
and jobs to Mississippi. ... I believe in
Mississippi, and it’s time to show the
nation just how far we’ve come.”
Remember Mississippi PAC has
bought ads supporting Republican
Chris McDaniel, with a narrator say-
ing McDaniel is “no establishment
politician.”
“He’s a proven fighter for you,
your family, lower taxes, a stronger
border and a limited government,”
the narrator says.
The fourth candidate in the race,
Tobey Bernard Bartee, has spent lit-
tle on his campaign.
Hyde-Smith was in her second
term as state agriculture commis-
sioner when Republican Gov. Phil
Bryant appointed her to temporarily
succeed Republican Sen. Thad Co-
chran after the longtime lawmak-
er retired amid health concerns in
April. The winner of the special elec-
tion will serve the final two years of
the six-year term Cochran started.
The Mississippi race could be im-
portant as Republicans try to main-
tain their Senate majority.
An NBC News/Marist poll re-
leased Tuesday shows the special
election has a strong chance of going
to a Nov. 27 runoff. The poll showed
Hyde-Smith with support from 38
percent of likely voters, Espy with 29
percent, McDaniel with 15 percent
and Bartee with 2 percent. Fifteen
percent said they’re undecided.
The poll showed that in a hypo-
thetical runoff, Hyde-Smith leads
Espy 50 percent to 36 percent among
likely voters, with 13 percent unde-
cided.
In another hypothetical runoff,
the poll showed Espy with 43 per-
cent support and McDaniel with 26
percent, with 19 percent undecided.
challenging incumbent Republican Trent Kelly
in north Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District,
accuses Kelly of voting “just along party lines”
while Kelly emphasizes his effort to build bipar-
tisan bridges.
But maybe the starkest contrast between Kelly
and Wadkins is on health care. Kelly still supports
the ideas behind the Republican effort to repeal
and replace President Barack Obama’s health
care law. Wadkins calls that plan “ridiculous” and
says he favors the government paying for health
insurance for all Americans.
The 22-county district stretches from the sub-
urbs of Memphis south and east to Tupelo and Co-
lumbus. Kelly, 52, a former district attorney, first
won election to Congress in 2015 after the death
of U.S. Rep Alan Nunnelee and easily won re-elec-
tion to a full term in 2016. Also on the ballot is
Reform Party member Tracella Lou O’Hara Hill.
The 53-year-old Wadkins had raised $154,000
since the start of 2017 and had $51,000 on hand
as of Oct. 17, according to Federal Election Com-
mission data. Kelly had raised $850,000 and had
$202,000 on hand.

Ivanka Trump set to
discuss child care at
Mississippi event
GULFPORT — Ivanka
Trump is traveling to Mis-
sissippi this week to dis-
cuss child care.
The Sun Herald reports
that President Donald
Trump’s older daughter,
who’s a White House ad-
viser, is scheduled to ap-
pear Thursday at Lynn
Meadows Discovery Cen-
ter in Gulfport.
The White House says
an event will show “why
high-quality, affordable
child care is critical in or-
der to have a strong and
prosperous workforce.”
The gathering is spon-
sored by the Women’s
Bureau of the U.S. Labor
Department, and Ivanka
Trump will host the event
with the bureau’s director,
Patti Greene.
A spokeswoman says
Republican U.S. Sen. Cin-
dy Hyde-Smith will be at
the event in her official ca-
pacity as a senator, not for
a campaign appearance.
Hyde-Smith is endorsed
by the president. She faces
three challengers in a Nov.
6 special election.
Man dies from possible
road rage shooting
JACKSON — A Missis-
sippi man has died from
injuries he received earli-
er this week in a possible
road rage shooting.
Jackson Police spokes-
man Sgt. Roderick Holmes
said Tuesday that 45-year-
old Terrell McCord has
died.
Holmes says road rage
may have contributed to
the fatal Sunday night inci-
dent on Interstate 220. Po-
lice responding to reports
of a shooting found two ve-
hicles damaged by bullets,
with McCord wounded in
one of them. He was taken
to a hospital.
Police: 2 injured in
wreck with beer thief
INDIANOLA — It’s a
beer run gone bad.
A Mississippi Delta
man was arrested Monday
after police say he stole
beer from a delivery truck
and led police on a high-
speed chase ending in a
three-car wreck.
The Delta Demo-
crat-Times reports at least
two people were injured.
Indianola Police Chief
Edrick Hall says police
arrested Edwin Sims. Hall
says Sims pulled alongside
a truck and loaded cas-
es of Corona, Budweiser
and other beers into his
Chevrolet Tahoe while a
delivery driver was inside
a store. Sims fled and was
caught after slamming
into two cars.
The Indianola Fire De-
partment was called for
a possible fuel spill, but
firefighters ultimately con-
cluded the liquid was just
beer.
Police didn’t immedi-
ately list charges against
Sims, and it’s unclear if
he has a lawyer who could
comment.

America best-loved books aren’t always the best books

On Tuesday,
PBS aired a special
to announce the
results of its six-
month contest to
identify America’s
100 best-loved
novels called The
Great American
Read.
With more than
7 millions votes
cast, it’s clear from Slim Smith
the results that
Americans love to read. How
well they read is an entirely
different matter, again based
on the results.
America’s best-loved novel,
based on the PBS contest,
is Harper Lee’s “To Kill A
Mockingbird.” No surprise
there. It’s been a cherished
novel since its publication
since 1960.
But the list took some odd
turns after that.
Diana Gabadon’s Outlander,
now a popular mini-series, is
the second most-loved book in
America. Uh. OK. If you say
so. Coming in third was J.K.
Rowling’s Harry Potter series,
followed by Jane
Austen’s Pride &
Prejudice and, in
fifth, J.R.R. Tolk-
ien’s “Lord of the
Rings” series.
Only “To Kill
a Mockingbird”
would have made
my top five list, and
I doubt very much
that Outlander, an
annoying exercise
in time travel and
men in kilts, wouldn’t have
sniffed my Top 100.
I’ll say this for Harry Potter,
though: If the contest has been
held to identify the 100 most
important books, Rowling’s
Harry Potter series would
earn a sport near the top. Not
since J.D. Salinger’s “Catcher
in the Rye” (No. 30 in the list)
has there been a book that
has so inspired a generation of
new readers.
That’s the important thing
to note about this list. PBS did
not attempt the identify the
most important novels, nor
even the best-written novels,
which explains the presence of
the truly awful writing found
in Tim LaHaye’s “Left Behind”
series ( NO. 77) or E.L. James
“Fifty Shades of Grey” (86). If
you want wooden characters,
predictable plots and contrived
dialogue, those two novels
should be your guide.
Meanwhile, William
Faulkner and Eudora Welty
didn’t crack the Top 100. Mark
Twain’s “Huckleberry Finn,”
widely regarded as the first
great American novel, didn’t
make the list, either.
Most of my favorites made
the list somewhere, including
John Kennedy Toole’s comic
masterpiece, “A Confederacy
of Dunces” (No. 58).
I guess that’s the nature of
such a contest.
When you choose a list of
“bests,” there are objective
criteria that can be used. But
when it’s a list of favorites,”
there is only one vote: Your
own.
So no two lists are likely to
be the same and while I would
like to steer clear from anyone
whose best loved book is “Left
Behind” or “Fifty Shades of
Grey,” I will say like readers.
Readers are thinkers. They
are open to knew ideas. They
are curious.
Show me a dull person and
I’ll show you someone who
doesn’t read. That’s true 100
percent of the time.
So, while the outcome of
the Great American Read
didn’t produce the results ex-
actly as I would have expected,
I think it was a great way to
promote reading.
There were quite a few
books on the list that I have
not read which I now intend
to read. I suspect the same is
true for everyone who tuned in
to see how the contest would
play out.
I hope that schools will use
the program to help shape
their own reading programs
and encourage students to
read.
Last week, I sat down with
Brad Meltzer, whose novels
have regularly made it on the
New York Times best-seller
list, a few hours before he de-
livered in the keynote address
at the Eudora Welty Gala. In
his bio, I had noticed that he
was the first in his family to go
to a four-year college and I had
a theory about that I wanted to
explore.
I asked him if there were
books in his home growing up.
As I suspected, he said no.
His mom read tabloid mag-
azines and his dad read the
newspaper sports section, that
was about it.
“But I had a grandmother
who had this thing called a
library card,” Meltzer said. “I
remember going to the library
and walking in the children’s
section. The lady there told
me, ‘This is your section.’ I
thought it was literally true;
that all of these books were
mine. So I read everything.”
That’s the kind of power
reading can unleash.
And that is why that it may
not be a matter of what Amer-
icans read as much as the fact
that we still read that gives me
hope for the future.

Voice of the people
A nomination for amphitheater
management
The article in today’s paper about the new
amphitheater on the Island and the city’s plans
to hire an outside manager reminded me of a
similar situation years ago.
Susan Cox had been a volunteer with
Historic Columbus and was running the pro-
motions for tourism in Columbus. She did not
receive a salary for her work. She was profes-
sional and charming and did a fabulous job
promoting our city.
When it came time to hire someone for the
job, the city didn’t even interview her. Instead
they did an outside search and brought in
someone that had “the resume.”
That person stayed for a few years and nev-
er accomplished half of the things that Susan
had been doing.
Now we are faced with operating the new
amphitheater and again the city is not consid-
ering anyone local when the perfect candidate
is here and has been the quiet force behind
the Rosenzweig Arts Center for years; Beverly
Norris!
Beverly has brought in amazing musicians
and artists and has the musical acumen that

“The implementation is
going to be a lengthy pro-

But this will allow us to

real game-changer and
I’m just thrilled.”
Brooking said the soft-
ware will allow students
to see their path to grad-
uation currently, as well
as if a student decides to
change majors. Typical-
ly, if a student wanted to
switch majors, Brooking
said the process of fig-
uring out which classes
are needed to graduate
could take a while. But,
with the new software,
students can gauge their
graduation targets imme-
diately.
“We’re not going to see
a big upheaval in student
advising,” Brooking said.
“The technology that’s
available to our facul-
ty will make advising a
lot easier and probably
quicker for our students.
Make sure we avoid any
hiccups in getting them

Brotherly bond continues for McLaurin, Abram past football field

By Bret t Hudson
bhudson@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Bob
Shoop’s individual drills with
Mississippi State’s safeties
can’t start before a best-of-three
series of rock paper scissors be-
tween two of his starters.
Mark McLaurin and Johna-
than Abram go out of their way
to compete with each other as
often as possible, and of course
MSU’s top two safeties are go-
ing to do the same to decide
who goes first in drills.
“There’s not a game goes by,
a practice goes by, any moment,
where we’re not fussing about
this and that, being competi-
tive,” McLaurin said. “That’s
how we are and it motivates us
to keep working every day.”
McLaurin and Abram have
been two of the most produc-
tive figures on MSU’s defense
since the beginning of last sea-
son, now doing so for a defense
that is top 10 nationally in near-
ly every statistical category of
importance. Their high-energy
dynamic has made them two of
Game 8
n No. 16 Texas A&M, 6 p.m.
Saturday (ESPN; WKBB-FM 100.9,
WFCA-FM 107.9).
MSU’s most dangerous defend-
ers, to be unleashed on No. 16
Texas A&M (5-2, 3-1 Southeast-
ern Conference) 6 p.m. Satur-
day (ESPN).
“It’s almost like a weird
brotherhood,” said defensive
coordinator Shoop, who is also
the safeties coach and witness-
es the dynamic in the meeting
room, too. “They compare sta-
tistics like brothers would. I
know they know at the end of
the day who has more tackles.”
That comparison happens
as soon as games end. The first
thing they do after games is
find the stat sheet and compare
their performances against one
another, and do it on all levels:
tackles, tackles for loss, inter-
ceptions, pass break-ups and
all.
They did this for an entire
offseason after the two were
the team’s top tacklers last sea-
son. McLaurin won that battle,
79 tackles to 71, but Abram was
more productive behind the line
with five tackles for a loss and
two sacks compared to 3.5 and
1.5, respectively, for McLaurin.
Abram also forced two fumbles
to McLaurin’s one, but Abram
had nothing for McLaurin in in-
terceptions: McLaurin had six
and Abram didn’t have one.
They hold the same status
this year: Abram leads the team
with 53 tackles but McLaurin
isn’t far behind with 48.

CCA relishes West Point

STEENS — Bill Beck appreci-
ates the importance of timing.
The Columbus Christian Acad-
emy football coach just didn’t
know he was going to have to wait
two months between victories.
The veteran coach is willing to be
patient when that second victory
comes in a game that decides a
district championship.
Win No. 2 in Beck’s first season
at the school came Friday in a 21-
20 decision against Deer Creek in
Steens. The victory helped CCA
(2-7) secure the Mississippi As-
sociation of Independent Schools
(MAIS) Class A, District 2 title.
“We tried to give it away,” Beck
said, “but the kids made a stop at
the end when they had to.”
Isaiah Cooper had two touch-
downs and Lawson Studdard
caught a touchdown pass to help
and the temperature gets colder,
the West Point High School foot-
ball team is again gearing up for a
state championship run.
After winning back-to-back
Mississippi High School Activi-
ties Association (MHSAA) Class
5A state championship, this year’s
Green Wave can take the first step
towards another title Friday night.
West Point (8-1, 5-0) will play
host to Saltillo (2-8, 1-4) at 7 p.m.
in Class 5A, Region 1 play at Ham-
blin Stadium.
With the win, West Point will
extend its region win streak to 26
games and will wrap up a third
straight region championship.
“It’s the first step, but it’s a
big step,” West Point coach Chris
Chambless said. “Having home-

ing streak. Next week, CCA will
try to earn its first playoff victory
since 2014.
Even though the playoff pair-
ings haven’t been announced,
Beck is nearly certain CCA,
which earned a No. 3 seed, will
play host to No. 6 seed Lee (Ark.)
Academy at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2,
in Steens. The winner will take on
No. 2 seed Union Christian Acad-
emy on Nov. 9.
Beck said CCA could have
filled its schedule by playing
Union Christian Academy, which
is in Farmerville, Louisiana, this
week, but he opted not to make
the six-hour drive to give his team
added time to prepare for the post-
season. The time will give Beck a
chance to help the Rams get even
more comfortable under center as
they prepare to play host to the
first round of the playoffs.
“We found some things that
we did a little bit better than what
we had been doing,” Beck said.

Harvey leads talented group of young receivers at Starkville High
By Bret t Hudson
bhudson@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — In an offseason be-
tween a state championship game loss and a
season expected to end with a better result,
Starkville High School knew it would have to
fulfill that dream with a new set of wide re-
ceivers.
The Yellow Jackets leaned on three se-
niors in its top five receivers last year; then
the No. 4 receiver, Tonorris Brookins II, suf-
fered a knee injury in the spring. All that was
left was Rufus Harvey, then in between his
sophomore and junior seasons.
Harvey has not disappointed.
In Brookins’ absence, Harvey has undeni-
ably been one of the most important pieces
of Starkville’s offense, leading the team with
39 catches for 670 yards and five touchdowns.
Even with Brookins back, catching his first
pass last week, Warren Central (4-4, 3-2 re-

“With him being out I knew I would

think I did a good job with it.
“I came in trying to make more
plays than I did last year, trying to
be better than last year.”
Harvey said he has seen teams

Jones is looking to Harvey to make
defenses pay.
“You always need playmakers,
have 1-on-1 outside. That’s when
you need somebody you can throw
it to on the outside or get it to them
right now in space and he can get
you 40 or 50 yards. He’s that type of
guy.
“He’s a special talent, he’s only a
junior and I feel like his better days
are to come. He’s a big part of the
puzzle, just like he was last year.”
The best part for Jones is Harvey
can handle whatever adjustment
Jones wants to make with him.
With a playmaker of his capability,
Harvey is likely to be deployed in
several ways to ensure he gets the
ball. Jones has done it before and is
almost certain to do it again when
the games become win or go home.
“He’s a smart kid on- and off-the-
field, so it’s easy to install a new
play this week or something special
him because he can pick it up really
well,” Jones said.

BOSTON — From playoff

flop to October ace in two lega-
cy-shifting starts, David Price
earned his second postseason
victory in a row and moved the
Boston Red Sox halfway to yet
another World Series title.
The Red Sox left-hander
pitched six innings of three-hit
ball, and major league RBI leader
J.D. Martinez broke a fifth-inning
tie during another two-out rally
to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers
4-2 on Wednesday night.
Game 3 is Friday in Los Ange-
les. The Dodgers need a win to
avoid an 0-3 deficit that no World
Series team has ever recovered
from.
longest postseason outing since
signing a seven-year, $217 mil-
lion contract to come to Boston
in 2016.
“To be able to do that, it feels
good, for sure. I’m pumped for
myself, pumped for all my team-
mates and coaches for us to be
two wins away.”
Mookie Betts had three hits
for the Red Sox, who have won
14 of their last 16 World Series
games dating to a four-game
sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals
in 2004. They have won two more
championships since then, in ‘07
and ‘13.
Not bad for a team that went
the previous 86 years without a
title.
The one-time Dodgers draft
pick has pitched like an ace in
the regular season but was 0-9 in
his first 10 postseason starts be-
fore this October. Whether with
Tampa Bay, Toronto, Detroit or
Boston, his team had never won
a playoff game he started before
this year.
But the Red Sox have now won
his last three postseason starts,
including the ALCS Game 5
clincher against the defending
World Series champion Astros
in which he pitched six shutout
innings.
“I get it, the numbers and all
that. But this guy is a great pitch-
er,” Boston manager Alex Cora
said. “He’s been one of the best
On a frigid night at Fen-
way Park, Price held the high-

less through three innings and
retired the last seven batters he
faced. He struggled only in the
fourth, loading the bases with
nobody out on two singles and a
walk as the Dodgers took a 2-1
lead — their first of the Series.
And the Red Sox batters did
what they’ve been doing: scoring
with two outs.
In an uncanny stretch of
clutch hitting that’s been their
hallmark throughout their 108-
win season, the Red Sox scored
all their runs in Game 2 with two
outs, including a three-run rally
in the fifth.

DILBERT
Dear Abby
D
EAR ABBY:
I’m a mil-
lennial, and
it seems these
days people stay
at jobs for only a
few years before
moving on. That
has been my
experience in the
past, but now
I’m in a position
ZITS that’s fulfilling
and where I am
creatively satis-
fied.
All my friends
are always look- Dear Abby
ing for their next
gig, but for once, I don’t feel
that way. They keep sending
me job postings they think I
would be interested in, which
would be right up my alley if I
was looking, but I’m not.
How should I respond?
Does it say I’m lacking motiva-
tion or goals if I don’t have the lives out of state is expecting,
GARFIELD desire to leave the company
where I am currently working?
In this day and age, is it OK to
stay longer at a company, or
does that actually hurt your re-
sume? Does it show a lack of
drive? — SEEKING GUIDANCE
DEAR SEEKING: Many mil-
lennials move from job to job
because they don’t like what
they’re doing or don’t have
the creative satisfaction you
do, as well as other factors.
Remaining with a company you
like, being appre-
ciated and fairly
compensated
for what you do,
should not create
a black mark on
your resume.
It’s a sign of
stability.
In terms of a
resume, it’s not
just your work
history that has
importance or
value, it’s also
your acquired
skills, your
community
participation and
relevant hobbies.
These elements let potential
employers get a well-rounded
view of the person who’s being
hired.
DEAR ABBY: I received a
Facebook “invitation to an
event” from one of my local
friends. Her daughter who
and this is an “online shower.”
The invitation contains a link
to her daughter’s registry.
There’s no date — just choose
a gift and pay to have it sent
to her. The daughter is fully
employed as a high school
life skills teacher, and her
husband is a minister.
I always thought of a
shower as a social gathering
to honor a mother-to-be with
gifts, see what gifts she
receives, play games, have re-
freshments and visit. This new
concept seems in poor taste
to me. While I don’t intend to
participate, I feel rude just
clicking on “Not going.” Am I
being a crotchety old relic? —
OLD TIMER IN TEXAS
DEAR OLD TIMER: In light
of the fact that you didn’t men-
tion whether you know or even
like your friend’s daughter, I
don’t think you are being a
“crotchety old relic.” Because
you received what I would call
a stripped-down version of an
“invitation,” you should not
feel rude in responding in the
same fashion. Just click no, if
that’s the only option you’ve
been given.
DEAR ABBY: I was widowed
this spring and seem to recall
hearing, years ago, that I
should not send out greeting
cards for the first year. Is this
still proper etiquette? With the
holidays approaching, I need
to know whether I should or
should not be sending Christ-
mas cards. For some people,
it will be the only way they’ll
learn of his passing. Thank
you for your help. — CAROLYN
IN VIRGINIA
DEAR CAROLYN: Please
accept my sympathy for the
loss of your husband. If you
feel up to sending holiday
cards and would like to do
so, by all means send them.
I have never heard of any rule
of etiquette that says you
shouldn’t.

CANDORVILLE Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct.
25). The solar year will be
marked by your determination
and tenacity. You’ll apply it
mostly to things outside of the
personal realm, and your love
life and relationships will natu-
rally fall into place. Know what
your work is worth and be sure
to charge that and you’ll be well
on your way to a financial goal
in 2019. Gemini and Sagittarius
adore you. Your lucky numbers
BABY BLUES are: 39, 29, 48, 13 and 20.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You know what you can do, and
you’re confident in that. Since
you don’t need others to vali-
date your worth, you may forget
to validate theirs. But here’s
the thing. Other people need to
hear it. Give acknowledgment
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
freely.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Look around and you’ll notice
that this place wasn’t in your life
plan. In fact, you couldn’t have
imagined you’d be here, and
now it seems like the most nat-
ural fit that could be. Trust that
fortune will favor you similarly in
the future.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
People open up to you whether
you want them to or not. You’ll
hear secrets. You’ll hear stories
that don’t make sense. But
that’s OK. You’ll form an opinion
based on what you feel, not
what you understand.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). While it would be foolish
to launch your ship straight
into a storm, it’s also true that
there’s always a storm out there
somewhere. Those who wait for
calm seas everywhere will never
launch.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
meal can start a lot of ways –
with soup, a salad, a cheese
platter – but it almost never
starts with candy. Maximum
sweetness is something to work
up to because there’s nowhere
to go from there.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
A fun friend would be thrilled to
monopolize your afternoon, and
if you take this route, you’ll have
the kind of good time that will
make you wonder why you didn’t
do it sooner.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Would you rather be weak and
look strong or be strong and
look weak? Don’t answer –
you’re too smart to commit
to one look. You play each
situation as needed, and you let
neither pride nor modesty get in
the way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). What looks pretty in
pictures may only be happening
in the instant of a camera click.
Can it be sustained over time?
This remains to be seen. Keep
the principle in mind while you
peruse today’s images of so-
called real life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You know that you are
enough just as you are. You
don’t have to prove yourself
by showing what you can do or
spending lavishly. If you chose
to do these things, it will be out
of enjoyment, not insecurity.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Those on the inside seem
to know more than those on the
outside, but this is only a social
illusion. You can be a part of
any group you want to be a part
of today. Introduce yourself.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’re building something
new. Without firm, hard, strong
principles, this thing can’t
stand. You also need open
clearings for light, air, and a
good flow of people and ideas
to come in and out.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Someone who believes in
you and encourages you --this is
no small luxury to have in your
life. Many never get this and
live without feeling particularly
understood or valued. Celebrate
your supporters.

No time like the present
