Years ago, as elementary students at a tiny country school, our bus driver took us to school in his huge station wagon. That meant we kids got to talk with him for an entire hour – both ways. Good-natured and chatty, he would entertain us as he drove. True stories, gigantic whoppers, or funny gossip, it was all fair game to that man. One such story went much like this. “I’ve always obeyed the laws. Even as a teenager. I remember driving along one day, and a policeman pulled me over. I asked him why. He proceeded to tell me I was illegally driving down the middle of the highway. I informed him that I was simply taking up my half of the road, the other half was still completely free for the other driver to use.” Funny stuff to us kids. Then there was the story of the much older sister who purchased a lusciously ripe watermelon and brought it with her when she came to visit her younger siblings still living at home. Serving it, she made certain she kept her own portion out of the seedless center as she cut it up in equal portions. Hearing the yells of protest from the others, she calmly told them, “My piece is the exact same size as yours.” Not funny stuff to those kids. Both stories sound just a little self-serving to you? Me, too. And yet, every day we are seeing that same kind of skewed reasoning in neighborhoods around us. “I own my house and land, therefore I can do with it exactly as I please. I don’t care how my neighbors feel about it. I know my rights.” Problem is, that person who is exercising his rights could be causing great consternation and problems for his neighbors. Neighbors who now feel that their rights as citizens and homeowners are being infringed upon. Eventually, we have the beginnings of a neighborhood brouhaha. Because I know of very few people who truly feel that their own rights mean less than their neighbors. So now, both sides are protesting vehemently that they are offended and their rights are being trampled. Where does it end? How does it get solved in a way that truly satisfies everyone? Probably never does. Our courts can end the dispute by giving a verdict, but that doesn’t mean everyone walks away happy campers – or peaceful neighbors. Predictably, someone will feel offended and cheated. Better way? From the beginning, do what the Scriptures tell us to do in Philippians 2:3-4; “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Interpreted: If we would all treat our neighbors as though they are just as important as ourself, the whole bunch of us can get along a lot easier. Play nice with each other.

By Kara Kimbrough “After extensive efforts, we regretfully announce that Ronzoni Pastina is being discontinued.” The Jan. 3 announcement from the long-time pasta manufacturer sent shock waves through America. Headlines like, "Pastini fans are devastated!" and "Mourning continues for pastini" dominated the internet and air waves for days. Despite being a pasta lover, I’ve never tasted pastina. A little research reminded me why it's never been on my must-try list. Pastini actually means “little pasta.” I like pasta that's thick and hearty, strong enough to hold up to the covering of sauce, melted butter or whatever's on hand. Most pastina is 1/16th of an inch; much too small for my taste. But according to many, especially legions of Italians who grew up on the comfort food and are understandably upset, pastini is delicious when cooked in chicken broth or used as a thickener for numerous soups. Despite the outcry, pastina isn’t totally disappearing from store shelves. Other brands, including gourmet pasta manufacturers, will supposedly be offering it. It just won't be Ronzoni, a brand most U.S. supermarket chains regularly stock. The continuous discussion about pastini brought to mine other memorable pasta meals. I won’t repeat a recent column in which I listed some of my favorite pasta meals in Mississippi (email me if you’d like a refresher) but suffice to say, a state known more for fried chicken, biscuits and sweet tea actually contains a decent share of restaurants offering above-average Italian cuisine. State loyalty aside, the best pasta meals of my life were enjoyed in New York City, a place filled with family-owned restaurants dating back decades as well as nationally-renowned eateries that serve outstanding Italian cuisine. Dining at Carmine’s was one of the highlights of recent trips, followed closely behind pre-theater meals at Sardi’s, a NYC stalwart frequented by celebrities since 1927 and Becco, famed chef Lidia Bastianich's restaurant. Carmine's spaghetti and meatballs and chicken parmesan, Becco’s sinfonia di paste, a trio of penne alla vodka with sautéed shrimp, artichoke ravioli and tagiolini with fresh tomato sauce and Sardi’s’ cannelloni still linger in my mind. Sadly, my schedule (and post-Christmas budget) didn't allow for another NYC trip to take advantage of the annual Winter Outing. Going on now through Feb. 13, restaurants, hotels and attractions offer promotions and special rates not found any other time of the year. If, unlike me, you can arrange a quick trip, reservations for all programs are bookable at nycgo.com/winterouting. OK, enough daydreaming about unforgettable pasta meals up north. It is possible to create delicious Italian dinners in your own kitchen. Before you begin, however, invest in an inexpensive Microwave Pasta Boat, sold at most supermarkets and online. Using this quick method of boiling pasta has truly been life-changing for me; so much so that I invested in an extra one as backup. And second, while most jarred sauce is more than acceptable, consider making your own if time allows. Stocking my freezer with a supply this summer when fresh tomatoes were available has proven to be one of my top accomplishments of 2022. If you’d like my easy recipe, drop me an email and I’ll send it to you. Here is one favorite pasta dishes – it’s a favorite not just for the taste and the fact that it contains most of my favorite ingredients, but because it can be completed in less than 30 minutes. It’ll just have to suffice until I can afford an airline ticket to NYC. Until then…enjoy!

Results from the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) 2022-23 Educator Shortage survey show there are 515 fewer vacancies among teachers, administrators and school support staff across the state compared to the 2021-22 school year. MDE’s Office of Teaching and Leading conducted the first such survey in 2021-22, which reflected 5,503 vacancies. The vacancies for 2022-23 are 4,988. The survey was conducted Aug. 18, 2022 – Nov. 14, 2022, and had 100% participation from school districts. Though teacher vacancies decreased in the majority of subject areas, they did increase in the following categories: pre-K; high school science, chemistry, physics, math, geometry, career/technical education, heath/physical education and gifted. Teacher vacancies increased in the northeast part of the state, while slight to significant declines were noted elsewhere. Vacancies declined among school administrators (principal and assistant principal) and K-12 licensed educators in library/media, counselor and speech/language positions. The highest overall vacancies were among K-12 support staff for teacher assistants and school bus drivers. The MDE is evaluating the survey results, along with results from its October 2022 Teacher Retention survey, to bolster and develop strategies to mitigate vacancies and strengthen the educator workforce statewide. MDE’s Mississippi Teacher Residency program, which is currently accepting applications for cohort five, has proven to be a pathway of professional advancement for teacher assistants and some school bus drivers. Other strategies consist of improving professional development by removing barriers to educator licensure, including access, receipt and renewal of licenses. MDE will continue to assess opportunities to expand access to its Performance-Based Licensure program per district request. To see the Educator Shortage survey results and aligned strategies as presented to the State Board of Education during the Jan. 19 Board meeting, watch the meeting’s livestream here.

By Bob Garver It never found enough of an audience to warrant a review from me, but I really liked “Searching” back in 2018. I would have given it a grade of B, maybe an A- if I was willing to look past some outstanding questions. The taut mystery-thriller followed a father’s search for his missing daughter, with footage consisting entirely of whatever was showing on the father’s computer screen - everything from photos and simple webpages to complex chats and video calls. The performances were heartfelt, the story took some interesting twists and turns, the eventual villain was smart and believable, and the ending made sense. Now comes sequel-of-sorts “Missing,” another disappearance mystery featuring the same screen-based style. The performances are once again heartfelt and the story takes some interesting twists and turns, and… that’s about the extent of my compliments. June (Storm Reid) is a teenager whose mother Grace (Nia Long) goes on vacation for a week. She’s not thrilled that her mom is going on an extended trip to Columbia with her lame new boyfriend Kevin (Ken Leung), but whatever, party time! But once the party’s over and June goes to pick her mother up at the airport, things go awry. Neither Grace nor Kevin steps off the flight. Unable to reach either of them by any means, June soon files a missing persons report, but is frustrated by the FBI’s slow progress. She decides to track down her mother herself from her home in Los Angeles. June has the advantages of being smart and computer-savvy, but she’s at a disadvantage because she doesn’t speak Spanish and can’t be physically present in Columbia. She hires local errand-runner Javi (Joaqium de Almeida) to do some investigating. He can’t get security footage from the hotel, but he does find out that Kevin bought a padlock from a local hardware store. What was Kevin doing buying a padlock? Is this relative stranger in any way trustworthy? Will June ever see her mother alive again? There are many, many steps between answering the first question and the last. For a while, “Missing” is just as compelling as “Searching.” The performances from Reid and de Almeida are just as urgent and desperate as the ones from John Cho and Debra Messing in the first film. The story takes a similarly twisty path, though it rarely swerves into the unbelievable until the final act. And then, in a single dramatic reveal around the 90% mark, the movie falls apart. Obviously, I want to avoid spoilers, but I will say that there is a villain in play, and this villain is just awful. It’s a terrible performance that doesn’t match the tone of the rest of the movie, and at no point did I believe that this character was smart enough to mastermind the plan that they had apparently been pulling off perfectly until that point. “Missing” is yet another promising recent thriller that can’t quite stick the landing. I also wasn’t crazy about M3GAN turning into a bland killing machine or “The Menu” not taking more time to play with its “food” (by which I mean victims). I don’t want to take away from what this movie does right, which is a lot, but the viewing experience just plummets in the span of one clumsy shot. I still recommend the movie overall, as I’ve recommended plenty of mystery movies with great characters and setups that don’t always pay off with pleasing logic. Heck, I’ve counted 1985’s “Clue” among my all-time favorite movies, and that one has three disheartening endings. As for this movie, try to catch it soon, or you’ll be “Missing” out on a pretty good time. Grade: B- “Missing” is rated PG-13 for some strong violence, language, teen drinking, and thematic material. Its running time is 111 minutes. Contact Bob Garver at rrg251@nyu.edu.

With the recent collapses, bankruptcies, and global settlements of cryptocurrency platforms, the Secretary of State's Office wants to remind Mississippi investors to be informed of the risks of investing in largely unregulated products such as cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile, making them much more risky for most investors looking to meet long-term savings or retirement goals. The North American Securities Administrators Association determined that investments tied to cryptocurrencies and digital assets are the top threat to investors in 2022 and 2023. Funds held on cryptocurrency trading platforms do not have the same protections as those held in banks, credits unions, and securities accounts and operate without other regulatory safeguards. In conjunction with other states' securities regulators, the Secretary of State’s Securities Division is actively researching and investigating companies and business models involving cryptocurrency and the applicability of securities laws the agency is charged with enforcing. Tips for Investors: Understand what you are investing in. Many digital asset investments are speculative in nature and you should research the company prior to investing. Check the terms and conditions for the account agreement to make sure you understand your rights. This includes determining how easy it is to sell the investment if you want to get your money out. Never invest more than you can afford to lose. For a list of tools that will help you invest wisely, visit the Secretary of State’s website. To speak with someone in the Securities Division, call (601) 359-1334.

The Mississippi Poison Control Center is experiencing a concerning increase in calls regarding children who have found and eaten marijuana-laced candies and chocolates at home, making them sick enough for a trip to the emergency room. And with the establishment of marijuana dispensaries expected around the state this year, the calls “are only going to continue rising,” said Jenna Davis, managing director of the Poison Control Center housed at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. The American Academy of Pediatrics this month reported data that shows a 1,375 percent increase in children’s consumption of “edibles,” or food products infused with marijuana, between 2017-2021. Although UMMC’s numbers are not as high in comparison, they have significantly jumped over the past few years, Davis said. In 2019, the center received just two calls concerning ingestion of edibles. But in 2022, the number of total calls shot to 36, Davis said. Fourteen of those were in children ages 0-12, three for teens ages 13-19, 11 for ages 20-39 and six for 40 and older. “In the past 10 days, we’ve already had four calls for kids ages 0-6,” Davis said. “And statewide, these cases are underreported.” “There has been a consistent increase in pediatric edible cannabis exposures over the past five years, with the potential for significant toxicity,” the Academy said in its publication Pediatrics. In its study of cases between 2017-21, most ingestion of edibles by children occurred in a residence, the Academy said. Seventy percent caused central nervous system depression, and more than 22 percent required a hospital stay, including intensive care, the report said. Adult products laced with THC such as candy, gummies and chocolates appeal to children, Davis said. “We’ve seen ‘dope rope’ gummies, with lots of calls on those. They look like a Nerds (candy) rope.” Equally alarming is the growing number of children who get their hands on products easily available online and in convenience stores containing Delta 8 THC, a naturally occurring chemical compound found in small traces of hemp and marijuana plants. “It’s not regulated. It has very similar effects to the other components of marijuana that produce euphoria,” Davis said. “We receive tons of calls on this, and it’s increasing, for all ages.” In its 2022 Drug Threat Assessment, the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics notes that “products like edibles, oils, wax, and hashish are still being seen and seized across the state. These products are especially desirable among teens and younger adults.” The state’s new and evolving marijuana laws, the report says, “make marijuana a new kind of threat.” A number of physical reactions to THC-laced edibles can make children very sick, Davis said. “It’s hard to overdose on marijuana, but some of these gummies contain very large doses and some kids are eating a whole lot of them,” Davis said. In addition to central nervous system depression, it can cause rapid heartbeat, vomiting, confusion, difficulty walking and drowsiness, and in extreme situations, respiratory distress and seizures, she said. When center employees receive calls about ingestion of edibles by children, she said, “we recommend they go to a hospital for observation, depending on their situation and whether they’re experiencing the more serious symptoms. In rare cases, if they’ve had a huge dose or if they have underlying medical conditions, they are at serious risk for other complications and should call 911.” What’s also important to remember, Davis said, is a child can eat edibles and not immediately show any distress or effects. “Unlike when you smoke marijuana, when you eat a product that contains THC, it’s a couple of hours before it takes effect. It may be a few hours before the parent notices that their child has ingested edibles.” Most adults who call the center about a child who has eaten edibles “are worried because they left it out, and they didn’t intend for their child to get into it,” Davis said. “Some callers are reluctant to give us information for fear of getting in trouble. “Their information is confidential. We are here to help them and guide them. Most of them are very forthcoming, and we can get all the information we need to make a proper recommendation.” Her suggestions to adults who have edibles, whether it’s in their car, home, purse or wherever: “Treat them like a medication. Store them in a secure place, out of sight and out of reach of children. “Most products have some type warning label, but sometimes it’s very small. Even an older child might not pay attention to it.” Going forward, the center is focusing on prevention, Davis said. “We know it’s going to be around,” she said. “The bigger thing is the kids getting into it.” The Mississippi Poison Control Center focuses on prevention, education and treatment. It’s a free, confidential, statewide service available 24/7 to assist with questions and exposures regarding potential poisons, chemicals, medication and more. A trained professional can be reached at 1-800-222-1222.

The holiday fun and games were over, and we were ready to fly home. But a middle of the night message informed us our flight was cancelled and we had to rebook. And we suddenly became birds without wings. I now have a pretty good idea how a Christmas turkey feels, in those left-over days after Christmas. The juicy meat is already picked off, and all that is left is a carcass of dried-up bones. Except I felt more useless than turkey bones, which a cook will simmer into broth. Oh, yeah, I did simmer…being stranded when I just want to be back in my house tends to bring out the fed up and frustrated side of me. But after four more days we finally boarded a plane and made it home. Then came the process of applying for repayment for our expenses. More dried carcass picking…more simmering. More fun and games - and yes, I am being sarcastic. But the airline-which-will-remain-nameless has taken full responsibility, apologized, and promised full restitution for our incurred expenses. Total mea culpa. Next comes the time of choosing, for every one of us ground-bound turkeys the next time we need to fly. Do we trust that airline, or do we use another? Do we believe they have done exactly as they said, that they have upgraded their entire computer network? Or do we base our choice on what has already happened to us, and run to another airline as fast as our drumsticks will carry us? As I thought about it, the counselor side of me just couldn’t help but compare this situation to personal relationships. Allow me to explain my thought process. We entered into a contract with that airline. “We pay you, and you promise to deliver us to our destination on a certain date and time.” But they broke their side of the bargain. And now they have taken full responsibility, and want to regain our business. Eerily similar to a hurting personal relationship. “I promised love and friendship to you, and you promised to do the same. But you broke your promise. You then realized your mistake, took full responsibility and want to regain the relationship with me.” And now you have a choice to make. What do you do? Forgive and try again with that person, or limp away with your wounds and attempt another relationship? Tough stuff. Either option you choose will probably leave you feeling a little vulnerable…and simmering. I’ve already made my choice of which wings I will use on my next flight. But that’s just me, I have no idea what you should do. You have to decide for you, and then stick with that commitment. Unless you pick wings that leave you in the lurch the next time – then you have a pretty good reason to rethink your options. And you are free to interpret that last sentence for your flying - and your relationships.

By Kara Kimbrough If only I had a nickel for every question asking, “Do you have any easy, quick-to-fix recipes?” To answer all requests at once, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite “easy, quick-to-fix” recipes. For my friend who claims her husband will begin drawing up divorce papers if she cooks spaghetti one more time, I’ve included a pasta dish that will keep attorneys at bay. · There may be some who don’t love Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing Mix, but I haven’t met them. To make three-ingredient pork chops, combine a 1-ounce package of the mix with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle both sides of 1-inch pork chops with the seasoning, arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. With a green salad topped with, what else, Hidden Valley Ranch dressing and your favorite side dish, dinner can be on the table in less than 30 minutes. · Chicken strips with dipping sauce are a favorite of all ages – let’s just say, Raising Cane’s gains a fair portion of my takeout/drive-through business. Nothing's better on splurge day that Cane's crispy chicken, crunchy fries and seasoned bread. And tangy Cane's sauce puts all others to shame. However, when it’s time for a healthier meal, there is a way to accomplish it. In a bowl, crush together a ½ cup of seasoned bread crumbs with a cup of Parmesan cheese. In another bowl, beat one egg. Dip boneless, skinless chicken breasts that have been cut into strips in the egg, then the bread crumbs. Cook chicken in olive oil in a nonstick skillet until golden brown; around 6-7 minutes. Let cool and cut into strips. · It's not Cane's sauce, but an easy, healthier-than-store-bought dipping sauce can be made by mixing together 1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise, three tablespoons Dijon mustard, tablespoon of honey and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Chill before serving. · Cheese grits are so delicious and are the perfect side dish for any meal, not just breakfast. Many think they're complicated to make, but they're really not. To make the easiest cheese grits, combine 1-1/4 cups milk and a cup water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, add a ½ cup of hominy grits and simmer for 12 minutes. Stir in two tablespoons butter, cup of shredded Cheddar cheese and ½ teaspoon of paprika. · Olive Garden’s pasta fagioli soup is often imitated courtesy of “copycat” recipes in cookbooks and on the internet. Here’s a shorter version of the popular soup. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, brown a half-pound of Italian sausage. Once it’s thoroughly cooked, remove from pan and set aside. To the same pan, add a chopped onion and a clove of chopped garlic and brown until wilted. Add 2 cups of water, can of drained and washed Great Northern beans, can of drained chopped tomatoes, can of chicken stock, ¾ cup of elbow macaroni and a little ground black pepper. Bring to a bowl and cook uncovered until pasta is tender, about 10 minutes. Add in cooked sausage and a cup of trimmed fresh spinach (optional). Cook a few minutes until spinach has wilted down. Pour into bowls and garnish with Parmesan cheese. Last, as promised, here’s a pasta dish that’ll ensure not continued matrimonial bliss for my friend and add a delicious option to the never-ending, “What in the world am I going to fix for dinner?” quandary. Less-Than-30-Minutes Fettuccini Chicken Alfredo Extra virgin olive oil 3 large chicken breasts 1 pound of favorite pasta 2 tablespoons minced garlic (adjust according to taste) 1 cup heavy cream ½ cup Parmesan cheese (more to taste) Seasoning: salt, ground black pepper, seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder - mix desired quantities to combine Pour olive oil into skillet and warm over medium-high heat. Season chicken with seasoning combo on both sides, then place in the pan, cooking 5-7 minutes on each side until done, then remove from skillet and set aside. While chicken is cooking, boil pasta until al dente, drain and reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water. In skillet over medium high heat, melt butter, then add garlic and ¾ cup of heavy cream. Stir and bring to a simmer; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add remaining heavy cream and Parmesan cheese; cook until combined. Add cooked pasta to the mixture and stir to combine. (If mixture is too heavy, add a little of reserved pasta water. Slice chicken and add to the top before serving.
