Second Chambers trial begins with Oktibbeha jury

12 jurors, three alternates selected from pool of 300 Monday
By Slim Smith
ssmith@cdispatch.com
A second trial in the Jessica
Chambers murder case is set
to begin today in Batesville af-
ter Monday’s jury selection in
Starkville.
Quinton Tellis, 30, faces
murder charges for a second
time after a mistrial was de-
clared in October 2017.
Gerald Chatham, the Pa-
nola County Circuit Court
judge who will hear the case,
ordered Oktibbeha County
Circuit Clerk Tony Rook to
impanel a jury pool of 300 for
Monday’s selection process,
which began at 10 a.m. and
was completed at about 4 p.m.,
Rook said.
“The process went about
as smooth as it could possibly
go,” Rook said. “We ended up
having plenty of people in the
pool. There was never any
doubt that there would not be
enough jurors.”
The jury consists of nine
African Americans and three
whites (six male, six female)
and three alternates (two
white women, one white male).
“The judge gave them an
hour-and-a-half to go home
and get back and be back at the
courthouse to be transported
to Panola County,” Rook said.
Tellis Rook
“My understanding is that the
trial will last 10 days and they’ll
be sequestered until it’s over.”
This is the second time the
trial will use a jury composed
of people from outside Panola
County.
The October trial was com-
posed of jurors selected in Pike
County.
Using a panel of jurors from
outside the area where the
crime occurred — in Court-
land — was a function of the
high-profile nature of the case.
Chambers, 19, was found by
paramedics engulfed in flames

been declared compliant in
three formal complaints filed
against the district last year.
All that remains is the MDE’s
confirmation that the district
is compliant in providing all
SPED students in the district
the services to which they are
entitled.
Smith, who took over as
the SPED director in January,
told the audience the district
has been working “tirelessly
and prayerfully” on the issues
since she took over.
“The drastic change from
last year, has been a constant
flow of communication from
the department and parents,
Smith said. “We listen to
parents. When they call our
office, we call back. We treat
people like we want to be
treated. We treat children like
we want people to treat our
children.”
Perhaps the best endorse-
ments of the district’s efforts
came from one of the district’s
most outspoken critics.
Terri Doumit, a parent
of a Columbus High School
SPED student, was the only
parent to come before the
board Monday night. Over the
past year, Doumit voiced her
concerns during numerous
special call meetings, but de-
livered a far different message
Monday.
“The reason I’m standing
here is not to complain, to let
you know that there have been
successes,” Doumit said. “One
thing that has changed, just
from my perspective is the
relationship with the teachers.
I think what has made a differ-
ence is it’s a lot easier to talk
to Dr. Smith than it was with
the previous administration. It
was very hard, very combative
all the time and it was very
hard to get any results for the
children.”
We applaud the sincere
efforts of administrators,
teachers and parents in work-
ing together to address this
problem and hope that the
spirit of open communication
and cooperation becomes a
hallmark for the district as its
provides services for its most
vulnerable children.

Top teachers must

be appreciated
Mississippi needs creative strategies to
attract teachers.
It’s no secret that top flight teachers are
a major ingredient in the state’s recipe for
future success.
The best path forward for a state that has
been mired in cycles of generational poverty
is a robust public education system. And the
most impactful educational tool is a high-qual-
ity teacher.
So how does Mississippi get more top
teachers?
Increasing salaries is certainly one el-
ement. Gov. Phil Bryant and Lt. Gov. Tate
Reeves both recently announced plans to ele-
vate teacher pay next year, and we hope they
follow through with a meaningful strategy.
But salaries are not the only strategy to
employ.
Another tool is to find innovative ways to
attract people into the field. That includes
revising alternate route paths that allow pro-
fessionals from other fields to quickly become
certified to teach. It also includes building on
programs like the Mississippi Excellence in
Teaching Program, a joint venture by the Uni-
versity of Mississippi and Mississippi State
University that creates an honors college-type
experience for education majors with the
highest academic credentials. By offering big
scholarships and study abroad opportunities,
the program restores prestige to the profes-
sion.
Communities can also restore prestige by
implementing various incentives that make Mississippi voices

AP investigation: Drug prices going up despite Trump promise

‘I am not counting on the altruism of pharma
companies lowering their prices’
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — President
Donald Trump made reduc-
ing drug prices a key promise
during his election campaign,
repeatedly accusing drug-
makers of “getting away with
murder.” At the end of May, he
promised that drug companies
would be announcing “massive”
voluntary drug price cuts within
two weeks.
That hasn’t happened, and
an Associated Press analysis of
brand-name prescription drug
prices shows it’s been business
as usual for drugmakers, with
far more price hikes than cuts.
The number of increases slowed
somewhat and were not quite as
steep as in past years, the AP
found.
Over the first seven months
of the year, there were 96 price
hikes for every price cut, the AP
found. Health and Human Ser-
vices Secretary Alex Azar, the
administration’s point person for
efforts to lower drug prices, con-
ceded in a recent AP interview
that it will be a while before drug
prices fall. He noted the com-
plexity of the medicine market
and its incentives for drugmak-
ers to boost prices so they and
middlemen make bigger profits.
“I am not counting on the
altruism of pharma companies
lowering their prices,” said Azar,
who was a senior executive in Eli
Lilly & Co.’s U.S. business for a
decade when it dramatically
raised prices for its insulin prod-
ucts.
The AP analyzed 26,176 U.S.
list price changes for brand-
name prescription drugs from
Jan. 1 through July 31 in the
years 2015 through 2018, using
data supplied by health infor-
mation analytics firm Elsevier.
The AP focused its analysis on
the first seven months of each
year because of the seasonality
of price changes and to make
meaningful year-to-year com-
parisons.
The data included more than
97 percent of price changes
during those periods and, for
many drugs, several dosages
and drugs forms, such as pills,
liquids and injectable drugs.
(In the 3 percent of cases not
analyzed, the AP couldn’t de-
termine how the new price com-
pared with the previous one or
whether it was for a product
new on the market.)
Among the AP’s findings:
■ There were fewer price
increases this year from Janu-
ary through July than in com-
parable prior-year periods, but
companies still hiked prices far
more often than they cut them.
This year through the end of
July, there were 4,412 brand-
name drug price increases and
46 price cuts, a ratio of 96-to-1.
■ In June and July, right after
Trump’s price cut prediction,
there were 395 price increases
and 24 decreases.

Woman charged with stealing two cars last week
DISPATCH STAFF REPORT
A woman was arrested for mul-
tiple counts of motor vehicle theft
after she allegedly stole two cars
she was supposed to move for their
owners.
Ashley Marie Shields, 25, was
charged with two counts each of
burglary and motor vehicle theft
last week. According to a Lowndes
CMSD

director of SPED, said she
is still waiting on MDE’s
response to a fourth com-
plaint filed on behalf of all
SPED children last year.
MDE found the district
non-compliant initially,
during an investigation
that commenced while
Donna Jones was SPED
director. CMSD was cited
for students not receiving
necessary services in a
timely manner, if at all.
Smith took the helm in
January, following Jones’
resignation.
“That they weren’t
getting (individualized
education plans) or they
weren’t being imple-
mented (was the major
complaint),” Smith said
during a special-call
CMSD board meeting
to discuss SPED issues
Monday night at Brandon
Central Services. “There
were a number of issues.
We worked really hard
with our staff and teach-
ers, and prayerfully we
have resolved those is-
sues.”
In 2017, MDE began
investigating a sample of
62 SPED students after a
Columbus resident filed
a complaint against the
district on behalf of all its
SPED students. In March,
MDE found 95 percent of
those students did not
have appropriate IEPs
— which set individual
educational goals for stu-
dents and determines the
services needed to obtain
those goals — meaning
students were not getting
the services they needed
for their education.
During Monday night’s
meeting, the board and
audience listened to
Smith’s update on the
SPED program. The dras-
tic change from last year
has been a constant flow
of communication from
the department and par-
ents, Smith said.
“We listen to parents.
When they call our office,
we call back,” Smith said.
“We treat people like we
want to be treated. We
treat children like we
want people to treat our
children.”
In addition to commu-
nication issues that exist-
ed previously, Smith said
parents also complained
students weren’t receiv-
ing their educational ser-
vices.
Harris
Continued from Page 1A
At the time, Harris was
also charged with pos-
session of a weapon by a
convicted felon, but the
charge was retired based
on his plea.
The Dispatch reported
at the time that the shoot-
ing occurred after a fight
broke out in The Princess
Theater. Police responded
to the call and found Crow-
ell in a parking lot at the
intersection of Fifth Street
and Third Avenue South
with a non-fatal gunshot
wound to his upper body.

Drive on Wednesday. Shields
Shields was arrested
for the theft the next day.
“The large complaint
was, if a child needed a
specific service, that was
being denied,” Smith
said. “We look at each
case individually and look
at the specific needs for
that child. If mobility is an
issue, we will solicit the
help of a physical thera-
pist. We always do evalu-
ations before we just jump
in.”
Terri Doumit, a par-
ent of a Columbus High
School SPED student,
was the only parent to
come before the board
Monday night. She voiced
her concerns about the
services her son and oth-
er SPED students weren’t
receiving during numer-
ous special-call meetings
last year, but she spoke
more positively of the
SPED program Monday.
“The reason I’m stand-
ing here is not to complain,
(but) to let you know that
there have been success-
es,” Doumit said. “One
thing that has changed,
just from my perspective
... one thing that has got-
ten a little bit better this
year is the relationship
with the teachers. I think
what has made a differ-
ence is it’s a lot easier to
talk to Dr. Smith than it
was with the previous ad-
ministration. It was very
hard, very combative all
the time and it was very
hard to get any results for
the children.”
Doumit stressed, per-
sonally, the changes have
primarily concerned com-
munication with the de-
partment and her son’s
IEP. Doumit said her son’s
IEP didn’t make sense
to her last year, whereas
now it is something she
understands and finds
suitable. Last year, Dou-
mit was never sure if the
services her son needed
would be applied, but said
she has yet to face that is-
sue this year.

more attention has been
paid to communication
and openness to the de-
partment to foster strong
bonds between the par-
ents and students,” Spears
said. “(there’s been) an
additional effort to iden-

services, and I think that
was something that was a
big change from what we
discussed last year.”
Spears added com-

Cork, Crawford lead Panthers on streak

By Adam Minichino
aminichino@cdispatch.com
A look is all it takes.
Ki’kwon Cork says the first
glance usually is his. Whether
he is lined up on the left or the
right, the West Lowndes High
School senior wide receiver has
the confidence to know all he
has to do is look at sophomore
quarterback Melvin Crawford
and it’s on.
It doesn’t if coverage is tight
or relaxed because the 6-foot-2
Cork is going to get the football
wherever Crawford throws it.
The Crawford-to-Cork con-
nection paid off in two touch-
downs in West Lowndes’ 40-26
victory against Vardaman in
a Mississippi High School Ac-
tivities Association (MHSAA)
Class 1A, Region 3 game.
In all, Crawford threw three
touchdowns to help West Lown-
des (2-4, 2-1 Region) earn its
second-straight victory.
For their accomplishments,
Cork and Crawford are The
Dispatch’s Prep Players of the
Week.
“I had good enough confi-
dence I would be able to make
those passes because we had
a height advantage over their
defensive back,” Crawford said.
“I knew if I could put it where it
needed to be it would be caught
and that he would do something
with the ball.”
Crawford felt he had the
right touch on both his touch-
down passes to Cork. He said
Cork is “quick with his feet”
and has good hands. Crawford
said his other receivers have
similar skills, which gives him Adam Minichino/Dispatch Staff

NFL

Steelers build big lead, hold off furious rally by Fitzpatrick, Bucs
By Fred Goodall
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — Ben Roeth-
lisberger threw for 353 yards
and three touchdowns to lead
the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 30-
27 victory over the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers on Monday night.
Capping a tumultuous week
in which star receiver Anto-
nio Brown made headlines by
shouting at an assistant coach
on the sidelines and getting
into a spat on social media, the
Steelers (1-1-1) built a 20-point
lead before holding on for their
first win.
Vance McDonald scored on
a 75-yard pass play and finished
with four catches for 112 yards.
Brown and Ryan Switzer also
had first-half TD receptions for
Pittsburgh, which led 30-10 at
halftime.
The Steelers’ defense forced
four turnovers, including three
first-half interceptions of Ryan
Fitzpatrick, the 35-year-old
journeyman who threw for 819
yards and eight touchdowns in
two victories to begin Tampa
Bay’s season.
Fitzpatrick, the only player
in NFL history to open a season
with consecutive games with
over 400 yards passing and four
touchdowns, tried his best to
create “FitzMagic” again in his
third start in place of the sus-
pended Jameis Winston.
He led a long field goal drive
in the third quarter, and then
tossed fourth-quarter TD pass-
es of 4 yards to Chris Godwin
and 24 yards to Mike Evans to
rally the Bucs (2-1) within 30-27
with 5:43 remaining.
The Bucs got the ball back
with just over three minutes
left; however, the Steelers
forced a punt and Roethlisberg-
er ran out the clock.
Fitzpatrick finished 30 of 50
for 411 yards and three TDs.

program-best No. 2 last week, sets the
stage for the next match against Florida
at 7 p.m. Friday in Starkville.
The match against the preseason No.
1 pick in the SEC Coaches Poll gives
MSU another opportunity to bolster its
positioning for the SEC tournament and
to add to its résumé for consideration for
the NCAA tournament.
“We are very proud of this recogni-
tion and where we are in this program,”
Anagnost said in a statement released by
MSU. “We also know we have a big task
in Florida on Friday night, which is the
focus. We have a long way to go and a lot
of hard work ahead of us.”
Zakirah McGillivary, who scored the
game-winning goal against South Caro-
lina, nearly recorded the equalizer in the
final seconds against Tennessee. Even
though she didn’t score her team-lead-
ing seventh goal of the season, the
Brooklyn, New York, native was named
Monday the SEC Freshman of the Week.
McGillivary’s goal against South
Carolina tied the MSU freshman record
for game-winners and puts her one shy
of matching junior MaKayla Waldner’s
single-season record set last year. Her
shot from 25 yards out, snapped the
Gamecocks’ 24-match SEC unbeaten
streak for the Bulldogs’ first win against
a ranked opponent under Anagnost.
“That was quite a shot that we’ve seen
her do before,” Anagnost said. “What a

Ten of the 15 players on
the roster averaged dou-

trip to Italy. Guard Andra

averaged 14.3 minutes
per game, while center

isn’t sure if both players
will be eligible to play this
season. He said he isn’t
sure when the NCAA will
rule on the immediate eli-
gibility of either player or
both of them. Typically,
transfers have to sit out a
year when they transfer to
another school.
Schaefer said MSU has
to request a waiver from
the NCAA for transfers.
He said MSU has request-
ed a waiver for Espino-
za-Hunter but it hasn’t yet
for Taylor, but it will.
“I would hope that they
would be eligible,” Schae-
fer said. “I think each
case has its own merits,
so we’ll be anxious to

last season. McCowan
averaged 18.2 points and
13.9 rebounds. Senior
guards Jazzmun Holmes
and Jordan Danberry also
are expected to play key
roles, as is Jacaira “Iggy”
Allen, a redshirt sopho-
more, who is ready to re-
turn after sitting out last
season with a torn anteri-
or cruciate ligament.
Schaefer hopes the
pieces come together
because MSU will face a
grind of a non-conference
schedule that includes
games against Virginia,
Texas, Marquette, Or-
egon, and Washington.
The game against Mar-
quette will be the only one
of that group in Starkville.

“We’re going to have
to penetrate with short
passes first and then start
working deep,” said Craw-
ford, a 5-11, 140-pounder.
“We have a lot of confi-
dence. All we have to do
is keep playing team ball
and work together and
communicate.”
West Lowndes coach
Anthony King said Craw-
ford has throwing ability

ing four receivers 6-2 or
taller. He said Crawford
splits time at quarterback
with Quay Sanders, but
both of them are on the
field at the same time to
help the Panthers capital-
ize on their speed at the
skill positions.
King praised the ef-
forts of the offensive
line for giving Crawford
enough time to throw the
football. The two scoring
passes to Cork went for
40-50 yards.
“We knew when he was
in the seventh and eighth
grade that he could pass
real good,” King said
of Crawford. “He is real
smart. We couldn’t run
the ball on (Vardaman) at
all. Melvin was in at quar-
terback most of the time
and he bailed us out. He
ran the offense very effi-
ciently.”
Cork said he and Craw-

Bulldogs
Continued from Page 1B
Moorhead allowed some agitation
from the 28-7 loss to the Wildcats to
show in his Monday press conference.
“Ultimately, I’m going to point the
thumb at myself first and I’m not going
to make any excuses,” Moorhead said.
“I’m accountable for every aspect of this
football program and accept full respon-
sibility for the loss. That’s on me and
we’re going to get it right.
“Our coaching staff didn’t become
dumb overnight and our players didn’t
become bad overnight. One loss won’t
define this team and one loss won’t de-
fine this season. I promise you this: we’re
going to work tirelessly and we’re going
to get this freaking thing right. Hopeful-
ly everyone understands our standard,
one game is not going to change our
approach and one game is not going to
define this damn team, and we’re going
to get this thing right.”
Moorhead already has plans to en-
force that standard on personal foul pen-
alties, which accounted for five of MSU’s
penalties and a total of 75 yards.
“We’re going to put an end to these
unsportsmanlike penalties,” Moorhead
said. “Any unsportsmanlike penalty
now, I’m going to pull the guy out of the
game, they’ll come stand next to me and
they’ll go back in when I tell them to go
back in. One way to get their attention
is take away their playing time, so we’re
going to get that fixed, as well.
“It’s showing emotions without be-
ing emotional. I think you can compete
hard, I think you can exert maximum
effort and do things necessary to be suc-
cessful without losing your head and be-
ing hot-tempered. There’s a difference
between playing hard and picking up
the ball and throwing it at somebody, or
playing hard and pushing somebody af-
ter the snap. That’s not toughness, that’s
extra, it’s unnecessary and it’s unaccept-
able. You’re not going to see that moving
forward.”
Injury update
Moorhead said defensive end Mar-
quiss Spencer had a nagging upper body
injury and he decided to have surgery on
it, ending his season. Spencer’s season
ends with three tackles and one quarter-
back hurry.
Cornerback Jamal Peters remains out
indefinitely with his lower-body injury.
Linebacker Sh’mar Kilby-Lane, tight
end Justin Johnson and cornerback Ty-
ler Williams are day-to-day with minor
injuries.
Auburn coming at night
For the fourth time this season in as
many opportunities, MSU will host a
night game.
The Southeastern Conference an-
nounced its game times for the week of
Oct. 6, confirming MSU’s game against
the Tigers will kick off at either 6 or 6:30
p.m. If it is on ESPN it will be at 6, but a
6:30 start would push it to ESPN2 or SEC
Network.

Brooks
Continued from Page 1B
a Mississippi Association of
Community and Junior Col-
leges (MACJC) South Division
game Thursday night in Perkin-
ston.
Through four games, the
5-foot-11, 170-pound Brooks
has six total tackles, five pass
break-ups and an interception.
“Our defense is the best in
the state,” Brooks said. “The
defense has a lot of speed and
it’s one big brotherhood. When
somebody makes a big play,
everybody on the sidelines
is ready to greet them. Same
holds true after a mistake. The
guys are there to lift you up and
keep you going. After I saw that
in practice, that is when I knew
this could be a special team on
defense. Each team, has a quar-
terback who can play, receivers
who can catch. So it’s important
to prepare. If you are prepared
and you have confidence in your
teammates, you have a chance.
Each player has been the main
guy on their high school teams.
That just means you got a lot of
super athletes running around
on the field. As a defensive unit,
we are off to a good start keep-
ing the other teams’ really great
players under control.”
While Brooks liked his pro-
gression through fall camp,
that didn’t reduce the jitters
when his named was penciled
into the lineup for the season
opener - a 29-28 loss to Holmes
Community College.
“The biggest thing I had to
learn was relaxing,” Brooks
said. “Pretty much for the first
game, may have been too excit-
ed. You want to prove to your
coaches that they should be-
lieve in you and trust you. The
main thing you have to learn
is that you can play with these
players. You don’t have to do
anything out of the ordinary.
Just work hard in practice, be-
lieve in yourself. The coaches
brought you in for a reason. My
play picked up when all of this
became natural. It’s just playing
in another league. It’s a huge
challenge, but something all of
us are capable of doing.”
The Holmes loss has been a
driving force for the improved
play of the Wolfpack. After that
setback, Co-Lin beat North-
east Mississippi Community
College (21-7) and Pearl River
Community College (49-0).
Last Thursday, Co-Lin could
not protect at 14-7 halftime lead
in a 23-14 loss against No. 5
Northwest Mississippi Commu-
nity College.
Overall, the Co-Lin defense
is allowing 14.8 points and 277.3
yards per game.
“We should have won the
Holmes game,” Brooks said.
“I think that motivated every-
body on the team to do a little
bit more. After that loss, it was
like maximum effort here on
out. Northwest is a Top-5 team
so everybody is encouraged
about that loss. We did a great
job on defense of keeping them
down and giving our offense
a chance. It’s the type of team
we could see in the playoffs. So
we know a little more about our
goals and what we need to do to
reach them.”
In the MACJC South Divi-
sion, two of seven teams make
the playoffs. Hinds Community
College, Jones County Junior
College, East Central Commu-
nity College and Gulf Coast are
division rivals already spending
some time in the national rank-
ings this season.
“Each week is a grind,”
Brooks said. “You can’t take
an opponent lightly. When you
play your position, you can’t
take the opposing player light-
ly. One week, it’s Northwest.
The next week it’s Gulf Coast.
It keeps going. To be out there
working with my teammates is
humbling. This league is the
best and it means to lot be out
there on that field.
“Our goal is to make the
playoffs, so winning Thursday
night will help us reach that
goal.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.
25). In short, it’s your year to
do things better, smarter and
faster. Your obsession with
handling the daily stuff with
more grace and efficiency will
allow you to expand your life
by adding interest, income
and new relationships. More
highlights include: being trusted
with a treasure and a showcase
for your talent. Cancer and Virgo
adore you. Your lucky numbers
BABY BLUES are: 30, 1, 12, 18 and 6.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You appreciate people for who
they are and don’t require them
to be like you in order to under-
stand them. It’s that difference
that keeps both parties interest-
ed and connected, as you fill in
one another’s blanks.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
You know what you have to do
to bring harmony to your world,
but you may not feel ready to do
it. Forgiveness and detachment
aren’t the easiest things for you,
but once you let something go,
it will never bother you again.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Sometimes life puts you in a
position of having to fake it until
you get the hang of the role and
it becomes who you really are.
But there are certain things
that will just never be you. Give
those up. Faking too long is bad
for you.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). When you don’t want the
fun to end, maybe it’s a sign
that you’re not getting enough
of it in general. Pinpoint what
makes a particular experience
so enjoyable. There’s a way of
working more of that feeling into
your daily life.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Having to be right all of the time
eats up a lot of energy and it’s
socially repellant to boot, as
people are annoyed by invulner-
able individuals who seem to
have it all figured out. Expect
mistakes. Love them even.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
When you’re living in the spirit
of possibility, it’s never too late
and there’s no such thing as
being regretful. So keep that
beautiful hopeful attitude of
yours alive. The world needs it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Outer order, inner calm is the
motto of the day. An effort to
get your surroundings into a
clean and logical arrangement
will serve to clear your mind and
get you ready to prevail in the
challenges to come.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Responsibility is the way
to happiness. It sure doesn’t
look like the way, but it is. Today
this will have to do with making
something right. As soon as you
realize that a mistake has been
made, handle and resolve it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). It might feel unnatural for
you to celebrate who you are
and what you have to offer, but
it’s the best thing you can do for
everyone around you. When you
enjoy your uniqueness, you’re a
gift to everyone around you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You deserve love and at-
tention and sometimes crave it
without even realizing it. Better
to tune in, ask yourself how
you’re doing and what you need,
than to risk subconsciously
making things about you that
shouldn’t be.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Why do people test the
boundaries of a relationship?
Because we all need to feel
powerful and free. Also, we
often don’t know where the
boundaries are until we brush
against them.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You didn’t seek approval,
but you got it anyway. Of course
that’s satisfying, but be careful
because it’s also addictive.
Derive too much pleasure from
the approval of others and you
could accidentally become
reliant on it.
