| Shelter hoping for hometown help
Jamie Riley is a dog's best friend, and not just to her own pets, but to those without homes too. "Everyone has their niche when it comes to trying to help someone or something, and I've always been a big fan of helping animals," she said. Riley, along with friends and coworkers, annually organizes the "Food for Pets" fundraising drive which has for the past five years provided food and supplies to the animals at the Kenai Animal Shelter, the Soldotna Animal Control Center and Alaska's Extended Life Animal Sanctuary in Nikiski. This year Riley hopes she has found another way to help pound puppies and cast-off kitties, through Hamburger Helper's "My Hometown Helper.com" project. "I heard ads for it on the TV and radio, and thought it might be one more way to help homeless pets," she said.

Your year ahead
Not only is all the fun to be found there – the best parties and the smartest dinners with friends – but increasingly you find it is an ideal setting for work. As your family planet makes a move from your house of fun to your house of health and work, you find that nowhere are you more clear-headed than in the domestic setting. Want to build an extension?

Legitimate request? Or is she milking it?
It grosses me out. Not the idea of mothers bonding with their babies and providing them nutrition and other natural goodies for healthy, growing bodies. But the act of them doing so, anywhere in my visual range. I am not a mother, I've never nursed, and I've never jumped out of bed for a 3 a.m. feeding. With that full disclosure, my gender as well as my professional (if not maternal) instincts entitle me to weigh in on the so-called breast-feeding dilemma of a mother attending Harvard Medical School. The details of the case are as follows: Sophie Currier, who already has a Ph.D. from Harvard, sued the National Board of Medical Examiners so she could get extra break time during her daylong medical licensing exam to pump breast milk.

Mankind has historically gone to extremes to satisfy the gods. Some have sacrificed fellow humans or animals to win favor with their deities, while others have drank blood, performed ceremonial dances and offered up food, money and other wares to please the gods of the sun, wind, moon and stars. .
COOK OF THE WEEK: Pontotoc retiree pleases family with homemade ...
The goulash recipe came from a co-worker at the Bank of Pontotoc, which later became Peoples Bank and is now Renasant. Short worked at the bank 43 years before retiring in July 1996.
"Used to when I worked at the bank, about once a week we'd each make a dish and go to somebody's house to eat, so I guess I've been making goulash more than 45 years now," she said.
But that's not all Short makes. Her son, Jeff, his wife, Susan, and their 14-year-old daughter, Emily, love to come over and eat the food piled on Short's table. It might be an ordinary weeknight, but if her family is coming, she's liable to cook mashed potatoes, roast and gravy, peas, fried okra and cornbread. Another of the family's favorite meals is fried pork chops, green beans, creamed corn and fried potatoes.
