Clinton Fire Chief Brett Russell said the driver of the semi (bottom photo) was transported for injuries. His truck had an empty trailer and reportedly a gust of wind forced him to lose control causing another semi (above photo) to strike his vehicle. There were two people in the other semi and they were not injured during the accident. The eastbound lanes were shut down for some time and traffic was diverted into Clinton on U.S. Highway 183. CDN

Daughter won’t tell parent about black eye

DEAR HARRIETTE: Somebody gave my daughter a black eye while she was away at college, and she didn't tell me. I had to find out from a friend. I am furious and have a million questions, but my daughter refuses to tell me who gave her a black eye. I don't know who she is trying to protect. She does not have a boyfriend, and she isn't normally a fighter, so there are no real suspects that I can point a finger at. I'm so angry and so sad. What can I do? Should I fly to her college town and look for answers? -- Black Eye

•Allowing our feathered friends to have nests near your house can be a great experience. For one thing, it's fascinating to see young birds mature and take flight, but they also help keep the insect population at bay, since the birds will eat hundreds of insects like mosquitoes every day. But when the last bird has finally left their home, be sure to remove the nest. Leaving the old nest in its spot will only attract parasites, so remove it and bury it in the soil to let it naturally decompose.
