“These two additions willbring us close to the staffinglevel we need to have enoughpersonnel on the street toprotect the citizens,” saidKinslow.

The aldermen also voted tohire county dispatcher,Melanie Williams, as a part-time dispatcher for the city.

“She is a certified dispatcherwho can work to help fill infor us at city dispatch,” saidMayor Reed Houston.

In other business, thealdermen approved thequotes from contractors tobuild the new chlorinestorage building for the city’swater treatment system. “Thebuilding has to be finished byJanuary or the supplycompany will stop delivering

The annual Kiwanis Club ChristmasParade is set for Dec. 6.

Floats, 4-wheelers, area high schoolbands and of course Santa Claus will be inthe parade. The parade steps of from R.A.Johnson Drive at 6 p.m.

The route turns left on Broad Street andcontinues down to Main Street. The paradeends in front of the Columbia Post Officeand Citizen’s Bank building.

“We’re hoping for a great turnout,” saidKiwanis Club President Steve Mercier.“We hope everyone will join us for theparade.” Mercier said last year’s turnoutwas good crowd.

Many people seek to spread the joy oftheir holiday season by helping someone lessfortunate. This year, the Salvation Army andthe Columbia Salvation Army Boys and GirlsClub invite you to help the children on thelocal SA Angel Trees.

“This year, we have two local trees,” saidMajor Alice Tate from the SA Hattiesburgoffice. “These trees have Columbia areachildren on them, so you are helpinglocally,” she said. “You don’t have to goto Hattiesburg to pick up your names ordeliver your gifts.”

The trees are at the ColumbiaMarion County Library and at Swank

Salon. Names can bepicked up from the

trees at any timeand the gifts canbe delivered backto the library or toSwank for the SAto pick up. Giftsmust be returnedto the locations

by Dec. 14 toallow the SAthe time toprocess andd e l i v e rthem.

“We have 167families whohave requestedhelp in theColumbia area,”Tate said. “If

you count three children per family, that’snearly 500 children.” Tate said the Columbiatrees contain about 100 children but that thegroup hopes to place all the local areachildren on local area trees next year.

Tate said the Salvation Army is verycareful to be sure that all gifts purchased fora particular child go to that child. EachAngel Tree ornament has a code printedon it. “Each gift needs to have that codeon it, not just a name,” Tate said. Theornaments only list the first name of thechild for security purposes and theremay be many children with the samename so the code is very important.

“We will make sure that what youbuy for that child will go to thatchild,” said Tate. “You can buyclothing or toys and there is oftena request on the ornament, but youcan buy whatever you want. Wedo ask that all clothing and toysbe new,” she continued. “If allthe children are not chosen, wewill purchase two toys forthem,” Tate said, acknowled-ging that donations can also bemade to beapplied strictlyto the AngelTree project.C h e c k sshould bemade tothe Sal-v a t i o nA r m yw i t h“ A n g e lTree” in

You were gone before I knew it,And only God knew why

A million times I needed you,A million times I cried

If Love alone could have saved you,You never would have died

In Life I loved you dearlyIn death I love you still

In my heart you hold a place,That no one could ever fill

It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn’t go alone

For part of me went with you,The day God took you home.

Wal-Mart gift

Waiting for a Cure Foundation recently received a$1,000 Community Grant check from the Wal-Mart inColumbia. Presenting the check to the foundation'sfounder, Dawn Gillis, is Tommy Sproles from Wal-Mart and Emma Pritchard a local member of theWaiting for a Cure Foundation. photo submitted

On page 77 of a recently releasedpictorial history and celebration ofMississippi High School football for thelast 100 years, “Gridiron Glory,” is aphotograph symbolizing the best, manywould maintain, the state has ever offeredto the game. The photograph of thesculpture titled, “Sweetness,” which standsin the endzone of Walter Payton Field atColumbia High, was chosen from amongfive photos of the sculpture, taken andsubmitted by Chris Turnage, choral directorand yearbook sponsor, to make thepublication. It also decorates the back coverof the book sleeve.

The book begins with a 1905 photographof Chuck Trotter, Winona’s firstquarterback, and covers through the 2009State Championship 6A title, won bynational super power South Panola. It is fullof vintage black and white and full colorphotographs, telling the story ofMississippi football.

Produced by Mississippi father and sonsteam, Mike, Marty and Mike Frascognas,the book was inspired when Mississippiwas recognized as the top high schoolfootball state in the country in 2006.

“While some football fans, namely thosein Texas, Florida and Ohio were surprised,the awarding of the first-ever Governor’sCup to the Magnolia State confirmed whatmany football fans across the nationalready suspected and what Mississippianshave passionately believed forgenerations,” said father, Mike Frascogna,in a blog for Lemuria Book Store.

Turnage said he was notified about thepublication of the book months ago andwas pleased to have one of his photographs

chosen to be included. He said he chose thesculpture of Payton, by sculptor Ben Watts,as the embodiment of the best of Columbiafootball and an icon of Mississippi football.“I felt a picture of Walter would be a shoe-in to be in the book,” he said.

Turnage attended the opening signing ofthe book at Lemuria in Jackson lastWednesday. Many of the coaches andplayers featured in the book were on handto sign the books, as well as some of thephotographers. “We signed 300 books thatday. They are available at Lemuria andthrough the Mississippi High SchoolActivities Association,” said Turnage.

Marking history

The Marion County Historical Society, under the leadership of President Ann Simmons,has placed six historical district markers around Columbia to designate areas listed ashistorical districts on the National Register of Historic Places. The signs were designed byTony Weinedel and constructed by St. James Lighting of Columbia. The Historical Societyfunded the project and identified, with the help of the City of Columbia, the spots for themto placed.

Columbia has four historic districts. They are the Keys Hill District, the Main StreetDistrict, the Broad Street/Church Street District and the North Residential District, whichincludes areas from Church Street to Lafayette Street and out North Main.

The purpose of the signs is to identify the historic areas to visitors and citizens, as well,and to encourage and promote historic preservation and cultural tourism within thedistricts. photo by Lori Watts

If you ever want to spend hours browsingthrough all types of merchandise, from furniture,old and new, to handmade items, glassware, newand used clothing, toys, books, vinyl records,baked goods and almost anything you can

imagine, you mighthead to TownSquare Flea Marketin the Town SquareShopping Center atthe intersection ofHighways 98 and13. The flea marketoffers shoppers over60 booths full ofdifferent items.

For four years,Hollis and LindaDeLatte havemanaged the fleamarket for ownerBob Buchanan. TheDeLattes had beenpart of flea marketsfor 10 years beforebecoming themanagers at TownSquare. “We areoriginally fromLouisiana, 150percent Cajun,” said Linda. “We had sold ourhome, bought an RV and were going to travelaround, stopping to do flea markets whenever thefancy struck us, and then we found this place,”she said. Now the DeLattes live in Foxworth andenjoy keeping the Town Square market runningefficiently.

“We came in and changed it all around. Wemade the aisles larger, cleaned up the booths andrevamped it all so you can see all across it,” Lindasaid. She said their experience as sellers in fleamarkets really gave them some insight abouthaving a market that works well. “You have tohave your space so the products are easy to seeand the booths are accessible to the shoppers,” she

said. “We really emphasize the need to keepeverything in order.”

The DeLattes have five employees who helpkeep the market running smoothly. “We haveexcellent staff,” said Linda. “And the vendorshelp each other out. If they don't have things intheir booth, they will try to help people find it,”she said.

“Hollis and I come in early and walk around so

we can be familiarwith the merchandisein each of the booths,”Linda said. She saidcustomers rely on themain office staffknowing what isavailable in thedifferent booths andvendors bring in newitems daily.

Linda said there arestill booth spacesavailable if someone isinterested in havingone. “We have 12-by-nine [feet] booths for$75 per month; 10-by-12 for $80 per monthand 12-by-15 for $115per month. And wehave larger spacesavailable,” she said.

November 27, 20104OPINION & EDITORIAL

OUR VIEWS

Two spendingdecisions loom

Americans who are concerned about excessive federal governmentspending and indebtedness will know soon whether the new crop ofconservatives heading to Washington are serious about taking a big knifeto the budget.

Two specific issues will tell the story. In the first half of 2011,Congress will have to decide whether to increase the federalgovernment’s debt limit. Congress last increased it by $2 trillion this pastJanuary, and it is now legal for the nation’s cumulative budget deficit tototal $14.3 trillion.

Republicans now control the House of Representatives, so they couldconceivably bring federal spending to a standstill by refusing to allow anymore government debt. Such a plan is risky: The last time the GOP triedthat, in 1995, the public sided against them and with President Clinton.

The other hot potato is farm subsidies. It turns out that severalincoming congressmen who ran on the platform of reducing governmentspending have benefitted directly or indirectly from farm subsidies, oftento the tune of thousands of dollars a year.

For example, the winner of an open House of Representatives seatfrom Tennessee railed against big spending — while deflecting criticismthat his family got $3.2 million in government subsidies over the pastdecade.

Congress is expected to begin work on the next five-year farm billbefore the 2012 elections, so it will be fun to see the crawfishing.

Actually, there is historical precedent for being careful with farmpayments. After taking control of Congress in 1994, Republicans passeda farm bill designed to return agriculture to the free market. Farm pricessank, and Congress later had to approve billions of dollars of aid forfarmers.

Tobacco trustfund violated

Mississippi lawmakers, past and present, should be ashamed of the waythey have violated what was supposed to be and “inviolate” trust fund. Gov.Haley Barbour and, to a lesser extent, his predecessor Ronnie Musgrove canshare some of the shame too.

We are referring to the tobacco suit settlement money won for the state inthe late 1990s by then Attorney General Mike Moore and a cadre of privateattorneys led by the now imprisoned Dick Scruggs.

Say what you will about the suit — Moore had his critics including thegovernor at the time, Kirk Fordice — but the settlement brought a windfallto the state.

And the Legislature in 1999 did the right thing by making a commitmentto put the money in a trust fund. The principal was supposed to be left alonewith the interest to be used as a permanent resource for health care.

Columnist Sid Salter did a good job in a column this week pointing outwhat could have been and what really happened .

Left alone, the trust fund would now have a principal of more than $2billion and still growing due to annual payments from the tobaccocompanies. It already would be yielding millions of dollars in interest toshore up Medicaid.

What happened though, Salter calculates, is that if Barbour’s Fiscal Year2012 budget recommendation is adopted by the Legislature, the fund willcontain about $50 million when Barbour vacates the Governor’s Mansion ascompared to the $630 million that was there when he took office. JointLegislative Budget Committee numbers show a current unobligated balancein the fund of $102.5 million.

Barbour publicly signaled lawmakers in this year’s “State of the State”address in January that he knew the tobacco fund was headed to fiscalextinction. “Since I’ve been governor, it has become clear to me that (theHealth Care Trust Fund) is not and never will be held in trust in the truesense of the word,” Barbour said. “It will never build up since the interest orearnings are not large enough to be material in future budgets. So, while Ididn’t propose it, if it is the will of the Legislature, I will agree to spendingdown the balance of the existing fund, as long as it is done on a schedule ofequal payments over a period of at least four years.”

Faced with growing state budget deficits — many caused by Medicaidspending — the Legislature began first to “borrow” from the Health CareTrust Fund with the promise to repay the funds. Then, lawmakers began to“intercept” the annual payment from the tobacco companies before it wasdeposited into the trust fund. In effect, they lacked the political will to eitherraise taxes or cut Medicaid expenses.

A number of those lawmakers, when they talk to the civic clubs at home,rail against the federal government for deficit spending and “mortgaging ourgrandchildren’s future.”

They don’t talk much about spending what could have been billions ofdollars of their grandchildren’s money by simply adhering to their own planof an “inviolate trust fund.”

For many shoppers, the Saturday morning afterBlack Friday is kind of like a hangover.

For some, besides the exhaustion, there’s evenphysical pain. After hours on your feet and maybe evena wrestling match to get the last item, the longestshopping day of the year has come to a close.

If you were out there, I hope you had fun. It seemsthat more often than not over the past 30 years, I’ve

covered the events of BlackFriday. Only once did I bravethe pre-dawn hours for a gift.

Like every parent, I wantedmy son to have the mostcoveted thing on his Christmaslist one year. He was aboutthree or four at the time. I’dtaken the days off aroundThanksgiving and had headedhome to my mom’s for dinnerand shopping.

I enjoy shopping, but I’dcovered enough early Fridaysafter Thanksgiving to knowthat part of me just might be a

little crazy for the undertaking. I got up around 3 a.m.and headed to a local retailer to get a coveted prize. Itseems this particular retailer had a certain Hot WheelsCity that lit up my little boy’s eyes. It was on sale fora huge discount, or at least it seemed that way.

Mind you, I grew up in Northeast Ohio. Waitingoutside a retailer in late November can be a little tryingwhen it is cold. My only thoughts at the time were thatat least it wasn’t snowing.

I joined hundreds, maybe even thousands of othercrazed shoppers in temperatures that were well below20 degrees. Bundled up, we stood in line waiting for 6a.m. to come. I’ve never been to Pamplona for therunning of the bulls, but I’m sort of thinking it was likethis Northeast Ohio store I was about to enter.

When the doors were opened, the crush of humanityrushed to their destinations. I grabbed my prize, madethe purchase, and headed to breakfast. By the time Ihad finished my pancakes and was heading back tobed, most shoppers were just beginning the trip to thesecond destination on their shopping lists.

I’ve got some friends who make Black Friday into avacation of sorts. After Thanksgiving dinner, thesebrave souls pack family and friends into their vehiclesand head off for a shopping destination. Theseshopaholics then get a hotel room in the particular city(for all of about four hours) and then head to a mall orstore they’ve never been to.

I will say that for my part, it was worth it to see myyoung son open the gift he wanted so badly. I don’t

know that he’ll understand what his parents did untilhe’s a parent himself someday.

Over the years, I’ve covered some of the wackiestshopping trends. One of my favorites was back in the90s. It was the year of the Furby. People were insanefor those kind of cute, kind of hideous little creatures.I stood in a mall in Northeast Pennsylvania waiting fora toy store to open and shoppers to grab their goods.My job was to chronicle this whole debacle. Throughthe lens of my camera I watched what unfolded.

At the appointed hour, the shoppers stormed thestore and dashed madly for the furry talking creatures.I watched as grandmothers yanked boxes away frompeople. It was almost uncivilized the way peoplepushed and shoved … for a toy!

I’ll admit, I chuckled as I started to write the columnbecause I began to reflect on top toys that I’d seen overthe years. The other crazy items were the Tickle MeElmo (another early morning mob scene) and goingback a decade, the Cabbage Patch Kids.

There were Buzz Lightyear’s all standing in a row,Pokemon cards, Game Boys, Beanie Babies, PowerRangers and much more. In the 80s, besides thechubby little Cabbage Patch Kids, there were itemslike Care Bears and My Little Pony.

Before that, there were some of those items that werein demand when I was a child and then a teen. My dadgot me a Rubik’s Cube (I never did figure it out) and Iplayed Dungeons and Dragons with my high schoolbuddies until the wee hours of the morning.

There were Star Wars action figures, Nerf footballsand even one of my favorites, the GI Joe.

Whatever your plans were and are for the holidayshopping season. Make sure to do one thing. Spend thetime with family and friends. There’s nothing likelooking back on the happy memories of the season.

The older I get, the more sentimental I become. Thispast summer, I had dinner with my 92-year-old aunt inOhio. As my cousins, aunt and I talked we rememberedtimes that were more than 40 years ago, when thewhole extended family came together.

I can only hope my son and his generation can lookback 40 years from now and have the same feelings.Maybe someday, he’ll share the story of how his crazydad stood in line in 15-degree weather to buy him a carset.

Here’s hoping that your Christmas season is full ofhappy memories and reflections of times gone by.

MR. ROGERS’ NEIGHBORHOOD by Mark Rogers

MarkRogers

Black Friday hangover

Is it really Thanksgiving already? My how time flieswhen you’re having fun.

You bet. Fun is going through puberty with two boys.Nothing quite like it. I have to keep counting myblessings every day.

My sons are the most different two brothers in thehistory of humanity. Thirteen-year-old John keeps to

himself. Twelve-year-oldLawrence never met a stranger.Not surprisingly, they areapproaching puberty quitedifferently.

John has got a bad case of thePeter Pan complex. He is quiteupset that he is growing up.And, quite frankly, I can’t reallyblame him. John went throughan amazing growth spurt overthe last few months, and hedoesn’t like it one bit.

“Everything is too small,”John told me. “It’s too easy toclimb trees and all my favorite

hiding places are too tight now.”John is almost as tall as I am — if he stands up

straight. Instead, he walks around with a most bizarrecrouching gait. On top of that, his voice is changing,which he also doesn’t like one bit. You never know whatoctave he will hit when he opens his mouth.

Adding salt to the wound, John is quite vain. Herefused to wear glasses, going straight to contact lenses.He has turned acne prevention into an art form.

I keep telling him I was the tallest boy in my class atage 13, and now I’m only 5 foot eight. I never grew aninch after I was 13. John is skeptical. He hates change.Oh well, he has his whole life to get used to his newheight.

Meanwhile, Lawrence wants to be six feet tall —tomorrow. He constantly complains that his growthspurt isn’t spurting fast enough. He thinks he’s already18.

I have been really quite amazed at just how manyrules Lawrence can break in one day. He can definitelybreak rules faster than I can come up with privileges towithdraw.

This has been putting Dad into a state of constantapoplexy. No sooner do I begin recovering from onetransgression then I discover several more.

This has sent me running for parental guidebooks andthere are some good ones out there. My friend LamarHooker recommended “Have a New Kid by Friday,” byKevin Leman. It has been quite helpful. Now I tellLawrence he’s going to have a great two years in sixthgrade. Another favorite motivational technique: Leavingbrochures for military schools in random spots around

the house.Yes, I was fully warned. When I was whining about

diapers and baby food, my smug friends with adolescentchildren kept saying, “Just wait till puberty!” It reallygets my goat to admit they were right.

Oh well, at least I don’t have to deal with the GreatRecession and adolescent boys at the same time. Afterviewing my October numbers, I officially proclaim thislast nasty recession over. Now that’s something to bethankful for!

As president of a company that operates 25newspapers, each with hundreds of advertisers, I get abird’s eye view of the economy. I’ll never forgetOctober of 2007. It was a huge political month and weshould have blown it out. Instead, we were down. Icouldn’t believe it. The next two months I witnessedrevenue drops like I had never seen in my 30 years in thebusiness.

I remember waking up one morning right beforeChristmas and just lying in bed for hours staring at theceiling, trying to envision what the next three yearswould be like. My sister’s family was arriving the nextday for the holidays, but I was filled with a sense ofdread.

It was a bittersweet pleasure when I realized it wasn’tjust my company going down the tube, the entire worldwas going down the tube. When the government, the cardealers and the banks are all broke, everybody’s broke.

I remember thinking things won’t be much better untilthe spring of 2011. We’re right on target.

For those of us lucky enough to survive the GreatRecession, this is indeed a time to be thankful.

I know that everybody is against the Federal Reserveand the monetarists. No doubt, we are still learningmuch about macro-economic policy. But we averteddepression and for that I am very thankful. It’s easy totake potshots and be a Monday morning quarterback.

After three years of precipitous revenue declines, mybusiness has started growing again. It will be a very niceThanksgiving.

As a leveraged businessman in a cataclysmiceconomy, I have moaned, groaned, wailed and gnashedteeth over the last three years. In the end, only hard workmattered. I have to admit, I am a better, humbler man forit. As much as I complained and begged God for mercy,I would not change one thing. I will never cease to beamazed by how little we can understand of His perfectplan.

As Paul wrote in one of my favorite Bible passages:Hardships build endurance. Endurance builds character.Character leads to faith. And faith will never bedisappointed because God so loved the world, He filledit with the Holy Spirit.

Given that, I am going to be thankful even for thepuberty of my two sons.

I received this story not long ago from my daughter-in-law and the message in it is so powerful that I want to shareit with you. The story did not have a credit line however itsounds as though the author was a very compassionatenurse.

It talks about love, real love, the kind of love that Godgives to all of us each day. God’s mercy and His love is soabundant that sometimes we mistake it because we are sobusy looking for a four-leaf clover. All we have to do isaccept it and share it with our family, friends, and fellowcitizens.

The apostle Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 whatlove is. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it doesnot boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Lovedoes not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It alwaysprotects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

As you read the following story keep in mind that mostof us take the ones closest to us for granted and tend not toshow them our love as we should. God gave us our lovedones and we should love them as much as we can and showthem each day how much we appreciate them. Let’s try notto be so self-centered and take our spouses and familymembers for granted. Let’s share the good news of God’slove with them so that all of us can enjoy the day.

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderlygentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed fromhis thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had anappointment at 9:00 am.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing itwould be over an hour before someone would to able to seehim. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since Iwas not busy with another patient, I would evaluate hiswound.

On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of thedoctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures andredress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he hadanother doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was insuch a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed togo to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had beenthere for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer’sDisease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if hewas a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who hewas, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him, ‘And you still go everymorning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?’

He smiled as he patted my hand and said, ‘She doesn’tknow me, but I still know who she is.’

I had to hold back tears as he left. I had goose bumps onmy arm, and thought, ‘That is the kind of love I want in mylife.’

True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love isan acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will notbe.

The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best ofeverything; they just make the best of everything they have.

Life isn’t about how to survive the storm, but how todance in the rain.

SUDOKU

Here’s how it works:Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken downinto nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each numbercan appear only once in each row, column and box. You canfigure out the order in which the numbers will appear byusing the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. Themore numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve thepuzzle.
