But the world didn't stop loving him today. His music will live on in the minds and memories of all the people it touched. And beyond the music, Jones touched the lives of at least two local residents in a personal way. Back when Jackson County Flori- dan Circulation Director Dena Oberski was a teenager bagging groceries in a store near her child- hood home in Woodville, Texas, where Jones also had grown up, Jones and Si I his wife Nancy went shopping there once. They loaded five bug- gies. Oberski bagged their purchases and, Wright in a pouring rain, helped take them to .the Jones vehicle. When he was ready to leave, Jones peeled off a $5 tip for each of the three young people who had helped. This was back in the day when they were used to receiving quarter tips, so this was a windfall. Now a mother with children older than she was when she encountered Jones that day, Oberski still remem- bers his generosity. Last Friday, the morning after Oberski learned that Jones had died, she played his mu- sic all day at work, sharing it with co-workers in tribute. Oberski also -went on the Floridan's Facebook page to acknowledge his death and soon after, other fans flooded the page with their own thoughts on the loss, naming off their favorite songs, and talking about how much he would be missed.

JACKSON COUNTY FLORIDAN www.jcfloridan.com Recent Take Your Children to Work Day is a success Special to the Floridan Take Your Children to Work Day was observed by the Jackson County School District on Friday, April 26. FCAT testing and make- ups were still going on across the county; there- fore the school district observed this event a day later than others across the state. All schools participated in this event. Principals reported that they had a great day. No formal activities were planned for students, although Marianna High School's principal, Sarieta Russ stated that students were planning to meet in Susie Barber's Family and Con- summer Science classroom during sixth period to bake cookies. Students who partici- pated in the past really enjoyed this activity. "We have students sta- tioned all over campus, classrooms, P.E., cafete- ria, custodian and guid- ance ... what fun we've had!" said Jessica Cra- ven, assistant principal at Golson Elementary School. This activity allows stu- dents to get a first-hand view of their parents' job responsibilities. Students leave the work stations with a sense of whether they like their parents' chosen field or whether they will pursue other occupations. Joe N. is joined by his mother and both are all smiles.

Art From Page 1A Money raised through the silent auction will help the school's art depart- ment purchase supplies for its budding artists. Bidding is open through Friday afternoon. Art instructor Dr. Jerri Benton, who was manning the donations box and bid sheetsWednesday, said that in order to provide her stu- dents the tools and supplies they need to explore vari- ous creative techniques, the annual event is vital. Public funding alone would only afford a fraction of the paints, brushes, can- vas, drawing pads, mod- eling clay and more that Benton uses to teach her idds about art. That's one of the reasons she stayed up into the wee hours of the morning getting the exhibit ready for viewing. She wants the best for her crop of budding artists. "I consider myself really lucky to be doing what I'm doing," she said between fielding questions from students, faculty and par- ents coming in to check out the artwork. To see the exhibit, sign in at the MHS front office then head down the hall to the library, any time between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday of this week. The school is located at 3546 Caverns Road in Marianna, and can be reached at 482-9605. For more photos, visit us online at JCFloridan.com. Jones From Page 1A remembers Jones as a generous man as well, and has the evidence to prove it. He became a member of the George Jones fan club many years ago, and as a club member was allowed to meet Jones back- stage at concerts. Wright went to so many that the Jones family started recognizing him, calling him by name when he turned up for a show and a backstage visit. He became a frequent visitor to the Jones dressing room, as well. After Wright became Mayor of Malone, Jones turned to him for a little help during the adminis- tration of former Gov. Jeb Bush. Jones had already met the se- nior George Bush and George W. Bush, and wanted to shake hands with Jeb. Jones asked Wright to see what he could do to make that happen. Wright also knew. that Jones loved college football, and decided he'd see if he could get the singer in for a look at the FSU stadium while they were in Tallahassee: Bush and then-FSU Coach Bobby Bowden immedi- ately took Wright's call when he told their office personnel who he was and what he wanted. Both wantedWright to set up a meeting with Jones as soon as possible. After Bush and Jones had their meeting, Bush told Jones that some of his staff wanted to say hello, too, and wondered if that would be all right. Jones said he'd be more than happy to meet them. When they opened the door leading into the outer of- fice, staff members were lined up all around the room. Jones shook each person's hand, signed auto- graphs, and thanked them for be- ing there to greet him. The same thing happened when he got over to the Bowden camp. When he and Bowden opened the door to leave his office, Defensive Coor- dinator Mickey Andrews was at the head of a long line of coach- ing staffers eager to meet Jones. Wright said Jones took the same time and care with those fans, as well. And at dinner the night before, Jones had patiently answered all kinds of questions from the group Wright had assembled for that special meal at the old Silver Slipper restaurant. Strangers who approached from other tables for Rotary From Page 1A his attention to various hot issues in Washington, and spoke of one successful bill he was proud to have supported, the Restore Act that sent BP oil spill recovery funds directly to the counties most affect- ed in north Florida and four other Gulf states. Rather than the money being filtered first through the leg- islature, where he feared the fund could have been "siphoned off" to areas less affected, Southerland said the money can now go to its purpose of restoration and recov- ery where the spill dried up tour- ism, closed fisheries and otherwise hurt communities. Southerland said he was happy to be assigned in his first term to committees is agriculture, natural resource, transportation and infra- structure, saying those were good fits for the concerns of his district. "We have been very busy mak- ing sure our rural counties get the support they need from the federal government and making sure we create an environment that your economy can thrive in. Sometimes we do a better job than others at doing that, and sometimes the fed- eral government fails miserably at that, but it very, very important to me," he said. On the Natural Resources com- mittee, Southerland said he is sometimes, frustrated by policies that hamper the ability of people to take fair advantage of national forest lands. Often, he said, the Department of Interior's oversight of those lands runs counter to common sense. "When you see, down in the Apalachicola National Forest, more trees rotting than we are harvest- ing, that is sinful. A national forest was designed by Congress to be a working national forest, not a na- tional park. We have national parks; we don't harvest any timber in na- tional parks. But a national forest is designed to be a place ... where communities that live around those perimeters are able to log and har- vest and have some economic ben- These are some of the items in Malone Mayor Gene Wright's collection of George Jones memorabilia, many of which the country music legend sent and signed for him. an autograph got the same gen- - tlemanly reception. .

U.S. Congressman Steve Southerland (left) chats over lunch with Rotarian Matt Fuqua, who arranged for Southerland to speak at Wednesday's Marianna Rotary meeting. efit to those communities. I believe the nation forest service in many ways has failed in that area." South- erland blamed poor management practices for some of the large wild- fires the nation has seen in recent years, indicating those might have been avoided with appropriate management practices in place to clear the forest floor from the "fuel" that can make a forest "a tinderbox" in the event of a lightning strike that sparks a fire. He said, however, that the southeastern United States does a better job that other regions in managing those lands. Southerland said he also is upset by what he feels is an over-reach- ing fisheries regulator who wants to "turn the Gulf of Mexico into an aquarium," and that some regula- tions are not based on good data and "absolutely strip us of our God-given right to fish." He said he finds it inappropriate, for instance, that, in counting fish populations as a regulatory barometer, fisher- ies officials refuse to count those congregated around reefs, where the fish naturally seek shelter and could be counted to accurately re- flect species populations. The National Marine Fisher- ies commission he said, last year shortened the fisheries season and set bag limits so low that the economies of the communities dependent on. the fisheries are be- ing devastated and that he is de- termined to see a change in that circumstance. Southerland also hinted at his support of the Keystone Pipeline initiative as a job creator and a way of reducing the cost of energy. Asked about the continuing quest to find out more about those responsible for the Boston Mara- thon bombing, Southerland had this to say. "We know the individual (suspect) who was killed spent six months in Russia; Russia told us that he was returning and that we needed to keep our eyes on him, they communicated that to the CIA. That did happen, so some- where, somebody dropped the ball ... I think Homeland Security, the CIA and the FBI, we have to have a meeting of the minds ... I'm not sure yet who bears all that respon- sibility, but we're looking and we're working to find that out." Southerland made clear his posi- tion on the idea of welfare reform. "If you are of working age, and you are physically, mentally, psycho- logically able to work, it is a sin for us to pay you not to work," he comrhented. On debt and the sequestration or debt-limit bill, Southerland said he didn't,vote for sequestration be- cause doing so would have meant he'd have to break his campaign promise not to do anything to hurt Medicare. Southerland said seques- tration cut that program by $115 billion. Instead, he said, he voted twice to replace sequestration with more flexibility within departments which would allbw their managers to, rather than making a 2 percent across-the-board cut in spending, decide what needed cuts and what needed to be left at full funding. Southerland said he'll be back to Jackson County to update the com- munity further about his take on what's happening in Washington. Governor signs ethics, campaign finance bills The Associated Press TALLAHASSEE Gov. Rick Scott signed a wide- ranging ethics bill and a separate measure that will raise campaign contribu- tion limits, waiting until the final hours Wednesday be- fore taking action. Earlier in the day, Scott said he was still review- ing the bills. He previously questioned why campaign contribution limits needed to be raised. The ethics bill (SB 2) was a priority of Sen. President Don Gaetz and the campaign finance bill (HB 569) was important to House Speaker Will Weath- erford. The House and Senate sent him the bills knowing they would have to be signed by or vetoed before midnight Wednes- day, two days before the legislative session ends. Campaign contribution limits, now at $500 per contributor per election for all offices, will be raised to $1,000 for legislative and local races and $3,000 for statewide races. The bill also eliminates committees of continuing existence, or CCEs, which critics say some lawmak- ers use as slush funds for travel, meals and entertain- ment and that have noth- ing to do with the commit- tees' political purposes. But lawmakers still will be able to form other political com- mittees and take unlimited contributions. And law- makers will now be able to keep $20,000 in contribu- tions for their re-election. . l .Jackson County Vault & Monuments Qua, iv Service at Affordable Prices Come Visit us at 3424 West Highway 90 850-482-5041 3L Pinecrest 3720 Caverns Road Marianna, FL 32446-1806 (850) 482-3964 THURSDAY.

John Schofield and Lititz Chief William Seace as they address a news conference in Litiz, Pa., on Wednesday. Missing Pa. woman, thought dead, surfaces in Florida The Associated Press LITITZ, Pa. A cen- tral Pennsylvania woman who mysteriously disap- peared after dropping off her children for school 11 years ago has surfaced in Florida, telling police she traveled there on a whim with homeless hitchhik- ers, slept under bridges and survived by scaveng- ing food and panhan- dling, authorities said Wednesday. Brenda Heist, 54, had been declared legally dead, Lititz Borough Po- lice Detective John Scho- field said. The detective said he. met with her -in Florida on Monday and she expressed shame and apologized for what she did to her family. Heist was going through an amicable divorce in 2002 when she was turned down for housing assis- tance, which led her to despair. She was crying in a park when two women and. a man befriended her, then invited her to join them as they began a monthlong hitchhiking journey to south Florida, Schofield said. Her ex-husband, Lee Heist, who collected on a life insurance policy after getting the courts to de- clare her legally dead in 2010 and has remarried, said at a news conference Wednesday that he was angry because of the effect her disappearance had on their son and daughter. Lee Heist was looked at as a suspect, but he co- operated with investiga- tors, took a polygraph and eventually was cleared. He was able to maintain a bond with the children. "They knew that I was there, and I loved them and would take care of them," he said. He said his ex-wife and their children have ex- pressed a desire to speak with each other, but for now they are taking things slowly. Her identity came to light after she turned her- self in to Monroe County sheriff's deputies in Key- Largo, Fla., on Friday and informed them she was a missing person. She told them she was on proba- tion and recently had been arrested under a name different from her real name. The nature of those charges was not clear in a Monroe County sheriff's office report released late Wednesday. Schofield said she was expected to be released from police custody in Florida and was likely to spend some time with a brother in that state be- fore moving in with her mother in Texas. "She has a birth cer- tificate and a death cer- tificate, so she's got a long ways to make this right again," Schofield said. "She's got to take it slow with her family, I'm sure, and it's going to be a long process." Inside her Lititz home the day she disappeared, dinner was defrosting and the laundry was half done. Police located her car in neighboring York County, but none of her personal belongings were missing. When Schofield called recently to meet with her ex-husband and their daughter, they assumed he would be notifying them that her remains were found, the detective said. Lee Heist said he strug- gled financially after his wife disappeared, quit- ting his job and losing his home. She had been a bookkeeper at a car dealership. "There were people in the neighborhood who would not allow their children to play with my children" because he had been a suspect, he said. Brenda Heist had been homeless for the past two years, most recently living in a tent community run by a social service agency. "She said she was at the end of her rope, she was tired of running," Schofield said. For about seven years she lived with a man in a camper in Key West and worked odd jobs. Schofield said she never had access to a computer and never checked to see if she was being sought, although she assumed she was. Morning-after ruling to be appealed WASHINGTON -The Justice Department is ap- pealing a judge's decision lifting all age limits on the Plan B morning-afer birth control pill and a cheaper generic. The federal government says the judge who issued the ruling had exceeded his authority and that his decision should be sus- pended while the appeal is underway. U.S. District Judge Edward Korman of New York had given the Food and Drug Administration until Monday to lift all age limits on Plan B and cheaper generic. The judge mandated that emergency contraception be sold just like aspirin. On Tuesday, the FDA said anyone 15 or older could begin buying one brand, Plan B One-Step, without a prescription two years younger than the current age limit of 17.

Then, as she stepped onto the front porch while cleaning the kitchen, "she heard the gun go off," a coroner said. In a horrific accident Tuesday that shocked a rural area far removed from the national debate over gun control, the boy had killed his 2-year-old sister, Caroline, with a single shot to the chest. "Down in Kentucky where we're from, you know, guns are passed down from generation to generation," Cumberland County Coroner Gary White said.

SNEADS The Sneads Lady Pirates moved one step closer to a second trip to the state semifinals in the last three sea- sons Tuesday night with a 7-4 victory over the Port St. Joe Lady Sharks in the-1lA re- gional semifinals. The Lady Pirates (24-5) scored five runs in a decisive sixth-inning rally, and then held off a late charge by the Lady Sharks in the top of the seventh. Brooke Williams pitched all seven in- nings to get the win, surrendering one earned run on six hits, three walks and one hit batter while striking out nine. Makayla Ramsey took the loss for Port St. Joe, also going the distance and giv- ing up four earned runs on five hits, three walks and seven hit batters while also striking out nine. Williams led the Lady Pirates offensively with two hits to go with a walk and two runs, with each of the top five hitters in the Sneads lineup scoring or driving in at least one run. "The girls at the top did a great job all night," Lady Pirates coach Kelvin John- son said after the game. "I said we need- ed to get five runs to win the game and that ended up being what we had to get. Brooke pitched real well to keep Port St. Joe to four runs, and our girls got big hits when we needed it." It was Port St. Joe that grabbed the early lead with a run in the top of the first after Kelsey Miles reached on an infield single and scored on an error to make it 1-0. Sneads tied it up in the third when Wil- liams led off with an infield single, stole second base, and eventually scored on an RBI groundout by Cambridge Chason. Chason came through again in the fifth with an RBI single to left field to score AlaynahWeiss to make it 2-1, but the Lady Sharks answered back with an RBI single up the middle of the infield by Hal Leigh Keels in the sixth to level the game. But things started to unravel for Port St. Joe in the bottom of the inning, with Ramsey hitting the first two batters she faced and Williams adding another bunt single that allowed Brandi Walden to come around from second base to score. Mallory McDaniel moved to third on the MARK SKINNER / FLORIDAN Alaynah Weiss steps on second during Sneads' game against Port St. Joe on Tuesday night. errant throwhome and scored whenWeiss followed with an RBI groundout to second base, with Williams racing for third on the play and scoring when the throw got away from the base, making it 5-2. Shelbi Byler was then bit by a Ramsey pitch, and Chason got to second after a high throw after a ground ball to second to put two more Sneads runners in scor- ing position. That brought up Brandy Strickland, who clubbed a pitch deep to left field to score both runners and put the Lady Pirates up 7-2. Despite the five-run margin, the Lady Sharks did make Sneads sweat a hit in the seventh, with Haley Wood walking and scoring on an error, and Shannon Prid- geon tacking on another run with an RBI double to left field. But Williams ended the threat by strik- ing out Christian Laine for the third out. Byler, Chason, and Strickland all had hits for Sneads, with Chason driving in two runs and Strickland walking twice and picking up two RBI of her own. Miles led Port St. Joe with two hits, while Pridgeon had a double, a walk, an RBI, and a run, and Keels was 1-for-2 with an RBI. With the win, the Lady Pirates advanced to Friday's regional final to take on the Liberty County Lady Bulldogs in Bristol in a playoff rematch from last season. Liberty County eliminated Sneads with a 3-0 win in last year's regional semifinals. The Lady Bulldogs come into Friday's game riding a 16-game winning streak that includes a 10-0 win Tuesday over Dis- trict 3 runner-up Wewahitchka. Johnson said he's not the least bit sur- prised that the two teams are meeting up again. "When we left the field last year, I an- ticipated us playing them again this year," he said. "I would've been surprised if we didn't play them again. They might be a tad bit better than us, but that doesn't matter. What matters is who plays the best Friday. That's who is going to win the game." Lady Bulldogs knocked out by Cowgirls BY DUSTIN KENT dkent@jcfloridan.com The Marianna Lady Bulldogs had their season ended Tuesday night in Madison as the Madison County Cowgirls took a 6-1 victory in the 4A Regional Semifinals. The Cowgirls scored two runs in the bot- tom of the first inning and four more in the fourth, with the Lady Bulldogs getting a single run in the top of the fourth. With the win, Madison moves on to take on Episcopal in the regional finals Friday night, while Marianna is eliminated with a record of 17-7. Taylor Hussey took the loss for the Lady Bulldogs, going six innings and allowing two earned runs on five hits, four walks and four strikeouts, as five MHS errors paved the way for four unearned Madison County runs. "We made some critical errors defensive- ly," Marianna coach Scott Wiggins said. "We just didn't play up to our capabilities. We didn't swing the bat very well at all, and it was just the wrong time to make some Skey mistakes. It's very disappointing. We had good practices leading up to it. The girls were up and ready to go, but we just didn't execute when the lights were on." Marianna had only four hits as a team, with Linsey Basford going 1-for-3 with a double and a run, Reagan Oliver 1-for-3 with a double, and Lexie Basford 1-for-2 with a walk. Yazmine Bellamy also had a hit, Con- nor Ward drew a walk and Hussey had the team's only RBI. "We had opportunities (to score); we just didn't do much on offense," Wiggins said. "We made some base-running mistakes that took us out of some innings, and then we really hurt ourselves on the defensive side with errors later in the game. We just didn't play our best game. (The Cowgirls) have got, a good team. We made mistakes and they capitalized on them." The Lady Bulldogs got to the regional semifinals by taking an 11-8 win over Flori- da High, which marked the first time Mari- anna had knocked off the Lady Seminoles after being eliminated by them in three consecutive seasons. That followed a 10-0 district title game win over Walton that gave Marianna its third consecutive league title. Wiggins said he was very proud of his team's accomplishments on the year, but was hopeful that Tuesday's disappoint- ing end will serve as fuel for the returning Lady Bulldog players to go even further next season. "District championships are where we want to start, but we want to build from that and keep building on it," he said. "We got over the hump against Florida High, so hopefully we keep building off of that and work to get past the second round now." Marianna loses its best power hitter in Whitney Lipford, as well as key seniors Linsey Basford and Connor Ward, but four of the team's top seven hitters do return - as does Hussey and the entire pitching staff giving the Lady Bulldogs a pretty impressive core of returning players for 2014'. "Without a doubt we're looking forward," Wiggins said. "We've got a very good nucle- us coming back with a solid group of girls that come in and work hard and play hard and we'll try to improve and get beyond where we are now." Correction: In Tuesday's Marianna-Madi- son County preview story, it was mentioned that the Lady Bulldogs had never been to the regional finals of the state tournament, but that was only in fast-pitch softball. Marianna did make it to state finals of slow-pitch softball in 1977 and 1986. Optimist comes out swinging with big win over Kiwanis BY SHELIA MADER Floridan Correspondent Optimist picked up its fifth win of the season against just * two losses Tuesday night after prevailing 10-1 over Kiwanis in AAA baseball action at Opti- mist Park. Starting on the mound for Kiwaniis was Landon Gar- cia, who went the distance and took the loss, while Brady Donaldson got the nod for Optimist and picked up the win, going four innings and giving up one unearned run on no hits and a walk with 10 strikeouts. Zane Monk closed out the game in the fifth inning for Op- timist, giving up no runs on one walk and one hit batter while striking out three. Optimist drew first blood in the top of the first inning by plating three runs. Cole Nobles singled and moved to second on a single by Donaldson, with Ben Wig- gins picking up an RBI single with Monk sacrificing to score Donaldson. With two outs, Grant Williams took one for the team and Wig- gins scored on a passed ball before a groundout ended the inning. Optimist added three more in the top of the second. With one out, Garrison Beach reached first safely on a mis- Deondre Sims slides into home during Optimist's game .- ,against Kiwanis ,^ ^ Tuesday night at . . MERE. MARK SKINNER / FLORIDAN played ball, with Deondre Sims following with a walk and Tyler Huey sacrificing both runners into scoring position for No- bles' two-RBI double. Donaldson singled home No- bles but was out trying for home on a stolen base attempt. Donaldson retired the side in order in the bottom of the sec- ond inning. With one out in the top of the third, Monk doubled and made it around the bases when the ball was overthrown to make it a 7-0 ballgame. Kiwanis' sole run came in the bottom of the fourth inning when Trey Stevens reached on a one-out error and moved around the bases to score on a passed ball. Deondre Sims led off the top of the fifth by drawing a walk before stealing second and third and scoring after a ball got to the backdrop. Nobles walked and scored on an inside the park home run by Donaldson. In the bottom of the fifth, Monk struck out the first bat- ter before issuing a walk to Trey Stevens, who stole second and third. With two outs, Colt Fenton took one for the team, but Monk retired the next batter on strikes. Action continues at Optimist Park today with a 5 p.m. start time.

Alfred Hitchcock on audiences TODAY'S CLUE: v sienbe s 2013 by NEA, Inc., dist. by Universal Uclick 5-2 Horoscope TAURUS (April 20-May 20) There are strong indications that personal gain is possible for you, provided you don't take any last-minute risks. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Associates who lack your drive and sense of adventure maybe indiffer- ent to your goals. If this is the case, strike out on your own. CANCER (June 21-July 22) - If there is something or someone retarding your progress, take what- ever measure necessary to change the situation, no matter how difficult. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - For good or ill, you tend to reflect the behavior pat- terns of your companions. Only if your personality is stronger than theirs will you be the one calling the shots. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Onlookers will admire your confidence and capa- bilities in handling tough projects. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Although you'll have good management skills in situations that require a deft touch, you may be hesitant to use them. Don't be. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) This is one of those days when you won't be able to please everyone. SAGITIARIUS (Nov. 23- Dec. 21) If you want to make a good impression on others, sincerity is a must. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you take measures to trim all nonessentials from your budget, it could improve your finances. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -You have what it takes to do well in most competitive situations, but if you're an ungra- cious winner, you will fall flat. Let others sing your praises. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -When making a proposal, you should limit your presentation only to the hard facts. ARIES (March21-April 19) A commercial involvement with a friend could be on shaky ground. Be careful not to misman- age affairs; you don't want to lose a friend. innie's IMIailbox Dear Annie: I'm in my 40s and have been married for 20 years. We have two children. Our marriage has been OK but not totally fulfilling. For the past five years, I have been in contact with my ex-fiancee. I have thought about getting divorced a number of times but have never gone through with it. I love my wife, but not the same way I love my ex. Whenever I speak with my ex, I am my happy old self. She is the most caring, sweet, romantic person I've ever met, and I know, without a doubt, that our lives would be happy if we were together. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her. We treat each other the way people should be treated. My children do not have the best relationship with their mother, so I don't think a divorce would be all that trauma- tizing for them. I just don't want to hurt her. I have spoken to her about the things I'd like changed, but she only complies for a short while, and then things go back Bridge This week we are studying responder's re- bids. Look at the auction and South'shand. Can North have four hearts for his sequence? What should South rebid? North cannot have four hearts; if he did, he would have rebid two hearts (the major), not two diamonds (the minor). So, as there can- W not be a 4-4 heart fit, South should rebid two no-trump. This is game-invitational, indicat- 4 ing some 10-12 points and at least one stopper V in the unbid suit, hearts. (If you use two-over- one game-forcing, you would respond one no- trump forcing, then rebid two no-trump over two diamonds.) After North raises to three no- trump, West leads the spade king. How should South plan the play? What a dirty trick by West, leading a spade in- stead of a heart! South has six top tricks: One spade, four hearts and one diamond. If the dia- mond finesse is working, there will be no prob- lems. If it loses, declarer will need a club trick. South should duck the first trick and take the second spade to find out the break. Then he should overtake one of dummy's heart honors as cheaply as possible and run the diamond jack. East wins with his king and shifts to a low club. What should declarer do? If West has the club ace, the contract has no chance. So South should put up his king, hop- ing for the best. If it wins, he can claim. to the way they were. Is this just a midlife crisis? Should I settle and stick with my current life or take a chance on a new one? -WANTING NO REGRETS Dear Wanting: So why didn't you marry your ex-fiancee? It's not uncommon to fantasize about a wonderful life with someone you don't actually live with. The mundane responsibilities, raising children, doing housework, paying bills - all of those things are unromantic and unexciting. It takes work to make a good marriage. Don't simply tell your wife what you want her to change. Maybe she'd like you to change, too. We commend you for not wanting to hurt her. So please give your marriage a chance before you bail. Ask your wife to come with you for marriage counseling to see whether you can work through some of those things that are making you unhappy.

To Burton's credit, he shrugged it off. "Obviously, new tires area lot better," he said, "But, it was worth a shot."
