Four arraigned on scheme charges

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Voyles, who won a special election for the 2nd District school board seat in 2012, declared his candidacy for 2nd District supervisor. Despite legal troubles, incumbent Dal Nelms is making a bid for reelection in the 2nd District.

The qualifying period runs through Feb. 27.

A day after declaring his candidacy for reelection, 2nd District Supervisor Dal Nelms told a circuit judge he cannot afford an attorney to represent him following his recent indictment.

In a courtroom full of people awaiting indictment, Nelms told Judge Jim Pounds lack of funds has prevented him from hiring an attorney.

Locals involved in new session

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

SANTA ROSA, N.M. — A local pastor is braving the elements as he continues his walk across the country.

Walter “Chick” McGill has completed 2,244 miles of his 3,200-mile trek to Santa Monica, California as part of the coast-to-coast walk of the 68-year-old Vietnam veteran.

On Monday, McGill completed a 12.4-mile jaunt on Interstate 40 en route to Cline’s Corner, New Mexico on day 159 of the McGill trek.

“I had to cut down to around 11-13 miles a day when I found out I had plantar fasciitis,” said McGill, who is joined on the trip by his wife Barbara Isenburg-McGill. “It isn’t going to take me out of the game, but it has slowed me down.”

With a full agenda ahead, Crossroads area lawmakers kicked off the 2015 legislative session in Jackson on Tuesday.

Beyond Common Core retooling and education funding rumblings, infrastructure improvements and job creation remained at the forefront heading into the three-month session.

“As with every other session, we must focus on economic development,” said District 4 U.S. Senator Rita Potts Parks (RAlcorn, Tippah, Tishomingo).

“The more wage earners we have, the more our community can do.”

Parks said she intends to work with local officials to create a more attractive environment for businesses to expand in and come to Mississippi.

“One way to do this is to use our one-time monies for onetime expenses like bridge and road development and repair,”

Crossroads Poetry Project sets first contest of year

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Dipping their quills into a fresh well of ink, the Crossroads Poetry Project is preparing to host their first contest of the new year.

All poets, writers and wordsmiths are encouraged to submit their work for judging during the 2015 Crossroads Poetry Contest.

“The contest will culminate at 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 6,” said Donna Stockton, one of the project’s founding members. “We will collect the poems on that Friday and then hand them over for judging.”

With judges from all over the community participating, it will take several weeks for them to reach a consensus.

“For the last few years, we’ve had almost 1,000 poems submitted. This year, we’d like to top that and see even more community involvement.”

Donna Stockton One of the project’s founding members “We won’t know the results until sometime in March,” said Stockton. “As an added incentive, the Daily Corinthian has graciously agreed to publish the winning poets in the newspaper.”

According to the guidelines, submitted poems must be original and unpublished.

The contest is free and open to all individuals whose residence, work or school address is within Alcorn or Tishomingo counties.

Poems will be grouped according to grades 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, and the community.

Additional groups may be added or separated if the number of

entrants in a grade level exceeds expectation.

Student submissions may be turned in to at any Alcorn/Tishomingo public or private school.

Now in its 7th season, the Crossroads Poetry Contest has soared with popularity as local scribblers have embraced the project’s effort.

“For the last few years, we’ve had almost 1,000 poems submitted. This year, we’d like to top that and see even more community involvement,” said Stockton as she pondered the growing number of participants. “If anyone would like to join the poetry project or Please see POETRY | 3A

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Jan. 7, the seventh day of 2015. There are 358 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 7, 1927, commercial transatlantic telephone service was inaugurated between New York and London.

On this date: In 1789, America held its first presidential election as voters chose electors who, a month later, selected George Washington to be the nation’s first chief executive.

In 1800, the 13th president of the United States, Millard Fillmore, was born in Summerhill, New York.

In 1894, one of the earliest motion picture experiments took place at the Thomas Edison studio in West Orange, New Jersey, as Fred Ott was filmed taking a pinch of snuff and sneezing.

In 1904, the Marconi International Marine Communication Company of London announced that the telegraphed letters “CQD” would serve as a maritime distress call (it was replaced with “SOS”).

In 1942, the Japanese siege of Bataan began during World War II. (The fall of Bataan three months later was followed by the notorious Death March.)

In 1949, George C. Marshall resigned as U.S. Secretary of State; President Harry S. Truman chose Dean Acheson to succeed him.

In 1955, singer Marian Anderson made her debut with the Metropolitan Opera in New York, in Verdi’s “Un Ballo in Maschera.” The opening of the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa was televised for the first time.

In 1963, the U.S. Post Office raised the cost of a first-class stamp from 4 to 5 cents.

In 1979, Vietnamese forces captured the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, overthrowing the Khmer Rouge government.

In 1989, Emperor Hirohito of Japan died in Tokyo at age 87; he was succeeded by his son, Crown Prince Akihito.

In 1999, for the second time in history, an impeached American president went on trial before the Senate. President Bill Clinton faced charges of perjury and obstruction of justice; he was acquitted.

One year ago: Brutal polar air that made the Midwest shiver over the past few days spread to the East and the Deep South, shattering records that in some cases had stood for more than a century.

she said. “Since these expenses do not reoccur it is vital we fight to make infrastructure sound with these one-time revenues.”

District 1 Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo) agrees the state must continue working towards creating opportunities for job development.

“I feel like we have made great strides for part of the state in recent years,” Carpenter said. “I can’t see any reason why we can’t keep up the mo-

CANDIDATES mentum.”

Carpenter will also sponsor a bill that would give citizens a chance to vote on enacting a special local sales tax for infrastructure work in Corinth.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen passed the resolution on Dec. 16, and if supported by the legislative it would allow a special tax if approved by 60 percent of the voters in a special city election.

In recent years, the legislature has allowed special sales taxes in Jackson and Tupelo.

continued.”

Cox and his wife, Christy, came to Farmington after he was named youth director at the church in 2012.

“I never came with any intention of being the pastor,” said the Cox, who earned his Bachelor of Arts in Christian Studies degree at Mid America Baptist Theological Seminary. “Christy and I didn’t plan on staying once a new pastor was hired.”

God had other ideas.

“He changed both of our minds,” said Cox. The call to remain at Farmington happened one day on the way home from Mid America, according to the new pastor.

“The Lord just showed

There is only one difference in his new role at FBC, according to Cox. “The only thing which changes is who I am teaching,” said the former youth director. “I am hoping the Lord gives me lots of grace.”

Plenty of preaching and teaching are planned for his first year as pastor.

“A pastor is most effective when he spends time in the word preparing,” said Cox. “I don’t know how it all works right now, but I think it’s important to be involved in the community and get to know people better.”

both of us He wanted us to stay,” he said.

Former pastor Timothy Nall resigned in August and Cox moved into the interim position.

“I really think the Lord is still working on healing the church,” said Cox. The church being already familiar with Cox helps in his new position.

“Although I didn’t have the official title, the church knew a lot about me and it makes me feel better they had the opportunity to know who I am,” said Cox. “They could have hired a much wiser person than me.”

That kind of love from the church is nothing new, according to Cox. “The church has a big heart,” said the father of sons, Xavian (4) and Mar-

McGill began the journey in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina on April 23 of 2014. His plan was to arrive in California by his 69th birthday in February.

“It’s looking like the end of March now,” he said. “If I can get a weather break, I think I could push up the miles.”

McGill, a former family counselor at Help for You in Corinth, began the journey to promote a new birth of freedom and integrity in America.

He is easily recognizable as he carries a huge American flag and wears a bright orange shirt while saluting each passing motorist.

“I had to repair the flag four times after walking in headwinds up to 35 miles per hour,” said McGill. “It was like trying to fly a kite.”

During his trek, McGill is calling attention to the Ten Commandments, Golden Rule and the nation’s founding documents. He also prays for every community he goes through.

“I have missed only three days due to weather and have yet to lose any days to sickness,” said McGill, who was recently set back because of snow in Santa Rosa. “There have been days of walking in single-digit wind chills.”

Some 60 miles from Albuquerque, McGill has found a new fondness for walking as he strives to become the first person to complete a coast-tocoast prayer walk.

“I made a promise to never quit walking,” he said. “I think I have added 10 years to my life doing this.”

McGill also learned there isn’t much difference in the style of shoe he uses.

“I haven’t worn out any shoes, but I have replaced several insoles,” he said. “As long as you have decent insoles, the shoes are basically the same.”

Bain (D-Alcorn) suspects the state contract bidding process will be reformed.

“This issue has been in the background of the past couple of sessions, but has catapulted to forefront due to the MDOC scandal,” he said. “This reform is much needed and it is incumbent on us elected officials to restore the public’s trust.”

Corinth, Miss.

White working class in a corner and it’s getting lonely OXFORD — Republicans who want to stay in office in Mississippi this election year have no worries — if they are conservative enough.

If any are seriously challenged, it will likely be from the Charlie right, not from the left. That’s Mitchell where we are in the ever-swinging pendulum of politics.

Columnist Nationally, voting trends from November illustrate this.

Closer to home, it may be fair to say Mississippi is the epicenter of a deeply disenchanted white working class. No longer a Tea Party “fringe,” this is a reformist group demanding to be heard.

The marquee example is last year’s race between incumbent U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran and state Sen. Chris McDaniel.

Cochran had served four decades — four decades! — in federal office without anyone accusing him of not being conservative until McDaniel came along. The little known lawyer from Laurel actually beat “big spender” Cochran in the Republican Primary.

Here’s the nut of it, though: Their conflict was not issues-centered. Cochran and McDaniel agree on almost everything. The election was a manifesto in the war the white working class has on social and economic progressives or, more broadly, any who would even associate with non-conservatives. Mention Barack Obama or Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid to this group and there is instant and visceral disdain. Every smidge of nonsense that takes place in America — social media photos of people holding $600 cell phones while paying for groceries with EBT cards — is laid at the feet of those seen to be killing the country, destroying the work ethic, enticing us to sacrifice our personal freedoms and become slaves to government.

The newly minted U.S. Congress is evidence that Americans are not real happy with how things are going.

A key number in this trend is 30.

That’s the percentage point spread in November nationally between white working class voters who supported the Democratic Party and those who did not.

That’s a big spread.

For context, the total vote spread was a mere 18 percentage points when Ronald Reagan stomped Walter Mondale, carried 49 states.

For additional context, remember that the Democratic Party has valued itself and identified itself as the party of working people.

But white men and women, nationally and perhaps moreso in Mississippi, abandoned the party. These voters feel their values are ignored and they are being forced to support those who prefer not to support themselves.

One view is that establishment Republicans have sucked these voters in — that the Legislature in Mississippi is passing one corporate giveaway after another, giving only lip service to helping the little guy while twisting a knife deeper and deeper into his back.

Others have concluded the emergence of a vocal far right is wholly a reaction to a president who is black. These observers shrug their shoulders, label the disaffected as racists and disregard them.

Indeed, some would-be advisers to the Democratic Party say winning the White House in 2016 elections should be a breeze because the Republican Party is destroying itself.

That could be exactly what happens.

Or not.

White working class people who vote are not a majority in America. Trends indicate they will increasingly be marginalized. The determining factor will be if and how any coalition-building emerges across today’s political landscape.

So the situation is this: In Mississippi and nationally, two-thirds of white working class voters are feeling abandoned and backed into a corner.

They can hiss and spit all they want, but anger alone will not get them out. They don’t have the numbers.

It will get lonelier and lonelier until and unless they figure out the necessity of conversation and, yes, compromise.

Prayer for today Lord God, give me the desire to be persistent in service, while I have health and strength. May I experience the sweetness that comes in doing the thing that I ought to have done, as well as that in which I took the most pleasure. Help me to so live that my days may be useful, and be recalled with bright and happy recollections. Amen.

A verse to share “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” John 9:4

The real lesson of Selma It is not 1965.

That is the implicit message of the new movie “Selma,” a stirring depiction of the Selma-to-Montgomery voting-rights march told from the perspective of Martin Luther King Jr. The story is a familiar one, but never loses its power.

King and his forces descend on a rural Alabama where it takes an act of courage for a black person even to attempt to register to vote.

Through peaceful marches, they show for all the nation to see the desperate cruelty of the Alabama authorities, most infamously at Edmund Pettus Bridge when marchers are set upon by state troopers in what becomes known as Bloody Sunday.

These events changed America forever, which is part of their beauty. But the people involved in the making of the film insist that these events didn’t change America fundamentally, and indeed, they could be ripped from today’s headlines.

The movie’s stars showed up for the New York City premiere with “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirts, and held their hands up for photos. One of its producers,

Oprah Winfrey, says of the film, “It is here for a reason in this moment.” The Rich actor who Lowry plays Martin Luther King National Jr., David Review Oyelowo, calls the parallels with Ferguson “indisputable,” and the rapper Common, who plays activist James Bevel, pronounces, “Obviously, the story took place in 1965, which is almost 50 years ago, but we know that it’s happening now.”

Picking up on this theme, a critic in The New Yorker writes, “These times are different from 1965 but not different enough – and, in some ways, they are even worse.” Worse? He needs to sit through another screening.

Whatever you think of the merits of voter-ID laws – often brought up to make the case that the struggle for voting rights is not over – they are not the least bit redolent of the Deep South of the mid-20th century. No one asks anyone to recite the preamble to the Con-

stitution to get a driver’s license or some other valid ID. Voting as a black person in the rural South 50 years ago didn’t involve the minor inconvenience of reliably establishing your identity.

It was dangerous, and all but impossible.

In Lowndes County, Alabama, it was thought that perhaps the last attempt to register to vote by a black person had been in 1945, and no one could recall a black person voting, even though the county was 80 percent black. In Wilcox County, the last time a black person had voted was 1901, when a compliant barber had been granted the privilege. The courthouses in such areas were hostile territory that blacks had to fear even to enter.

As for policing, the worry in 1965 wasn’t ambiguous encounters or tragic accidents. It was beatings, or worse. It was whips and forced-marched by cattle prod. It was the violence of police who were the oppressive instruments of a lawless authority.

The protesters who faced off against the police in Selma didn’t shout abuse, although they would have

been amply justified; they didn’t burn down local businesses; they didn’t randomly fire guns, or throw rocks or stones. The difference between demonstrators in Selma and Ferguson is the difference between dignity under enormous pressure in a righteous cause and heedless self-indulgence in the service of a smear (that Officer Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown as he surrendered).

The temptation for the left to live perpetually in 1965 is irresistible. It wants to borrow the haze of glory around the civil-rights movement of that era and apply it to contemporary causes. It wants to believe that America is nearly as unjust as it was then, and wants to attribute to itself as much of the bravery and righteousness of the civilrights pioneers as possible.

All of this is understandable. It just has no bearing on reality. The movie “Selma,” by portraying a real struggle against a racist power structure, should remove all doubt of that.

Studying ISIS and ourselves The commander of American Special Operations in the Middle East, Major Gen. Michael K. Nagata, is reported to be seeking help in learning why the Islamic State is so dangerous. If he doesn’t know, what does that say about the prospect for victory over these radical terrorists who seek to destroy everyone who disagrees with them?

“We do not understand the movement,” the Times quotes Gen. Nagata as saying in confidential minutes of a conference call he held with more than three dozen “experts.” Until we understand it, he said, “we are not going to defeat it. We have not defeated the idea. We do not even understand the idea.”

In the pursuit of understanding ISIS or ISIL – or as Secretary of State John Kerry has started calling it, “Daesh” (the Arabic acronym for the group, considered pejorative in the Middle East) – General Nagata is calling for reinforcements.

According to the Times, one of the observations made by some in the conference call was about the Islamic State’s “capacity to control” a population, using “psychological tactics” such as terrorism,

“religious and sectarian narratives (and) economic controls.”

Enemies of the recent Cal past have Thomas written books that served Columnist as motivators for those who followed those ideologies.

The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848 and written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, formed the basis for the Bolshevik Revolution six decades later and the creation of the Soviet Union.

Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” defined his political and social philosophy as well as his plans for Germany and eventually the world.

In this latest war, the Koran is the textbook of jihadists, and it doesn’t help when Westerners seek to define what is “legitimate” Islam and what is not. Many in the Islamic world reject Western values and thus any Western interpretation of their religion.

A poll published last July in Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hayat news found that 92 percent of Saudis believe the Islamic State conforms to the values of Islam and Islamic law.

Other polls throughout the Islamic world show large numbers of Muslims at least sympathetic, if not openly supportive, of tactics used by extremists.

While Gen. Nagata and his experts are studying the “psychology” of ISIS, they might also look to the moral and spiritual state of Europe and the United States. An argument could be made that radical Islamists have it partly right when they diagnose Western culture as “godless” and decadent. If their solution is the wrong one, we might ask ourselves what the right one would look like.

In Europe, the cultural and spiritual influences of Christianity have been in retreat for some time as churches close for lack of attendees.

As Bethany Blankley notes in a Washington Times story, “In Norway, Sweden and Denmark, imams call for the decapitation and/or jail for those who reject Islam, because as immigrants they reject European laws and values.” Sweden, alone, Blankley notes, has lost 1 million Protestant churchgoers in recent years. When a vacuum is created, others rush to fill it and in this case the “others” are radical Is-

lamists.

The U.S and “experts” can conduct their surveys and studies, but while they are trying to decipher the “psychology” of ISIS, they might consider the merits of Islam’s indictment of Western “values,” which don’t seem so valuable anymore as many have become selfdestructive. For Europe and increasingly in the U.S. these include: negative population growth (U.S. population growth is positive, thanks to immigration, but is nearly stagnant at 0.7 percent); a growing secularism that finds no purpose in life other than pleasing one’s self; and the exposure and marketing of the female body, which is an affront to Muslims who regard modesty as a fundamental virtue.

Self-examination and what we Westerners have allowed ourselves to become might be a useful parallel study while Gen. Nagata and his experts try to figure out how to defeat the Islamic State.

McDonnell gets 2 years for corruption RICHMOND, Va. -- Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has been sentenced to two years in prison for taking money and gifts in exchange for promoting a dietary supplement while he was in office.

McDonnell, a Republican, was once on the short list to be Mitt Romney’s vice presidential running mate. He was sentenced Tuesday after being convicted of 11 counts of corruption.

The former governor and his wife, Maureen, were found guilty in September. She was convicted of eight counts and will be sentenced in February. Â

Boehner calls on Obama to back bills

WASHINGTON -Newly re-elected House Speaker John Boehner says he wants President Barack Obama to back Republican bills on energy and jobs as a way to break the partisan logjam that has stalled legislation in recent years.

In prepared remarks, the Ohio Republican also used his first speech to the new Congress on Tuesday to rap colleagues — whom he did not name — for what he called “shadowboxing and show business.�

Boehner likened his job to a farmer’s, saying he tries to plant seeds and take care of pests.

He asked lawmakers for patience.

Boehner said that Obama should support

bills helping workers and developing North American energy — some of which the administration opposes. Â

Warrant issued in death of RB’s son

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- South Dakota authorities have issued an arrest warrant for the suspect in the death of the 2-year-old son of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson.

The Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office says Joseph Patterson violated the terms of his bond by contacting the boy’s mother.

Patterson was released on $2 million bond in September.

He’s charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter and aggravated assault in the 2013 death of Tyrese Ruffin.

Patterson also has pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault and kidnapping charges in an alleged attack on Tyrese’s mother in June.

Patterson was living with Tyrese’s mother when he called 911 to report that the boy had stopped breathing.

Doctors determined the boy’s injuries couldn’t have been accidental. Â

Postmaster general slams banking idea

WASHINGTON -- Retiring Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe scoffed Tuesday at suggestions that the Postal Service could ease some of its chronic financial woes by branching out and offering basic banking services to its customers. “Our role is delivery,� not making financial services available, he told reporters.

The banking proposal came from the office of inspector general within the Postal Service itself, and has gained considerable attention, including the backing of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., a member of the Senate Banking Committee. Supporters say such services could include prepaid debit cards, check cashing or savings accounts.

Congressmen seek disaster declaration JACKSON -- The Mississippi congressional delegation is asking President Barack Obama to issue a disaster declaration for areas of the state devastated by Dec. 23 tornadoes.

Gov. Phil Bryant has requested a major federal disaster declaration, including hazard mitigation assistance statewide.

The Mississippi delegation asks the White House in the Jan. 5 letter for speedy approval of the disaster declaration and full consideration of other requests that may come in from last weekend’s storms.

The letter was signed

by Republican Sens.

Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker; Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson and Republican Reps. Gregg Harper, Alan Nunnelee and Steven Palazzo. Â

Former Greenville director sentenced

the City of Greenville from October 2007 through September 2012. She had been employed by the city since 1997.

Pickering says the investigation began after the city reported revenue losses at the public golf course for several years.

Pickering says Yeager has been issued a demand letter for $115,892, which includes interest and investigative costs. Â

Coast Guard unit heading to Cuba

KILN -- Seventy-four members of a U.S. Coast Guard unit in Mississippi have deployed to help provide security at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The deployment was announced Monday by the Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard says members of Port Security Unit 308, located in Kiln, Mississippi, will provide security for Guantanamo Bay. The unit will directly support the commander of Joint Task

Force Guantanamo.

The unit will patrol waters in and around military facilities, as well as working and training alongside other branches of the military for up to one year. Â

Jackson avoids jury award for $600,000

JACKSON -- A federal judge tossed out a September court ruling stemming from a 2012 lawsuit that forced the city of Jackson to pay a developer $600,000 after he claimed city officials thwarted his effort to redevelop a downtown building.

Don Hewitt, owner of Advanced Technology Building Solutions who hoped to build a hotel in the former Deposit Guaranty National Bank building across from the Jackson Convention Complex, claimed city leaders sabotaged his redevelopment plans because he criticized the hotel project’s bidding process.

JACKSON -- A former director of the Greenville Parks and Recreation Department has been sentenced for embezzling money from the city.

State Auditor Stacey Pickering says in a news release that Yvette Yeager had pleaded guilty in October. Pickering says Yeager was recently given a 10-year sentence with eight years suspended and two years to be served in intensive supervised probation.

She also ordered to serve five years’ supervised probation.

Yeager was accused of embezzling $85,155 from

Officials took part in the ceremonial slicing of a King Cake, a traditional seasonal treat. It all took

place amid tables laden with beads and trinkets that float riders toss to parade watchers.

Group seeking new grand jury in Ferguson Associated Press

ARRAIGN CONTINUED FROM 1A

for Nelms, Pounds met with Nelms in judge’s chambers. The court rejected his attempt to be declared indigent and delayed his arraignment until March 20 to give him time to retain an attorney.

Pounds also met with Danny Roy Peters in chambers and appointed Clay Nails to represent him.

Peters, described as a county vendor in the auditor’s investigation, also said he could not afford an attorney.

Arraignment for the three others who have been indicted took place in open court — Jimmy Mitchell and Joseph Lin McNair Jr., whom the auditor identified as county vendors, and Paul Rhodes, the county purchase clerk.

Pounds advised the three to consult with their attorneys before the court’s next plea day, which is scheduled for March 19.

Any of the five that go to trial may be set for late March or early April, the judge said.

Mitchell is represented

by Tony Farese; McNair is represented by John White; and Rhodes is represented by Greg Keenum.

Mitchell said “not guilty” on more than 30 charges including fraudulently obtaining public funds. He will continue to be free on two $10,000 bonds.

Rhodes entered a “not guilty” plea on nine counts including hindering prosecution and fraudulently obtaining public funds. He will remain free on three $10,000 bonds.

McNair entered “not

guilty” on 31 criminal counts. He remains free on a $10,000 bond.

Nelms faces 156 criminal counts and Peters faces 27 counts. Peters entered a “not guilty” plea and is out on a $10,000 bond.

Nelms is accused of accepting payments from county vendors and using county funds to pay fraudulent invoices for work that was never done, among other schemes.

A grand jury returned indictments and arrest warrants were issued for the five on Dec. 2.

Trinity Health Clinic

ST. LOUIS — The NAACP’s Legal Defense and Educational Fund, citing “grave legal concerns,” is asking a Missouri judge to convene a new grand jury to consider charges against the Ferguson police officer who fatally shot 18-yearold Michael Brown.

The letter submitted Monday to St. Louis County Circuit Judge Maura McShane also asks for a special prosecutor to oversee the case and an investigation of the grand jury proceedings that ended in November with a decision not to charge Officer Darren Wilson.

Lawyers and other experts who analyzed grand jury transcripts for the fund raised concerns about the decision to al-

low a witness to provide false testimony, erroneous legal instructions to grand jurors, and “preferential treatment of Mr. Wilson by the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office,” said Sherrilyn Ifill, the fund’s president.

Wilson, who is white, fatally shot Brown, who was black and unarmed, on Aug. 9 in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. The shooting led to sometimesviolent protests that escalated again on Nov. 24 after McCulloch announced the grand jury decision.

Ed Magee, a spokesman for St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch, declined to comment Tuesday. Messages were left with Wilson’s attorney and the clerk for McShane.

The horrors of World War II prisoner of war camps Unbroken, PG13, *****Plus, Jack O’Connell, Takanasa Ishilara, Universal Film.

Director A n g e lina Jolie.

Length 137 Minutes.

This film is a must Terry to see for Burns everyone.

Just be Movie Critic aware this is a true story about war, so it has frightening scenes, strong language, and violence.

In other words it is what happens in times war.

The young Louis Zamperini (Jack O’Connell) was a rounder growing up. However, he changed because of his brother and parents and became an Olympic Athlete. Louis was a soldier during World War II. Actually, he ended in a prisoner of

war camp after spending 47 days in the ocean in a small boat with two of his soldier friends. They ate sea gulls, sharks, fish and whatever they could find in a wide open ocean.

They endured high winds on the ocean, heat, and loneliness.

When they see a ship next to their small raft, Louis says. “I have some good news and some bad news.” It was in so many ways bad news. Unfortunately, it was the Japanese.

They were rescued by the Japanese and sent to a prisoner of war camp. I will warn the reader, it was not a pleasant environment. In fact it was horrible what he had to endure.

My uncle was also a prisoner of war in Japan, and what little I know about what he had to endure was horribly terrifying. We should thank our soldiers and armed ser-

vice individuals often.

In the prisoner of war camp where Louis was sent, the audience watches Watamabe known as The Bird degrade soldiers and hurt the American soldiers. He does horrible physical pain to the prisoners – especially Louis.

What the audience sees will give the viewers a look at what the soldiers had to experience. Believe me it was not pleasant.

As Louis’ brother told him, “If you can take it, you can make it.” He has lived with that statement since he was a young boy.

The movie can be a tear jerker, because of the horrors of war and the sadness of human beings.

When people use their power in order to take away human dignity, mistreating people, and strutting around being cocky the world is not moving forward. Unfortunately, it

continues to happen now.

In fact in some places it is worse. When individuals use their power to hurt others, because they want supremacy, and do not have enough sense to get the facts the world is going down hill. It would appear some individuals would open their eyes and look closely at realism.

Our society just does not have the dignity and intelligence that our culture had at one time. Individuals were given the opportunity to express their thoughts and rights as human beings.

Unfortunately, the Big Boss Man wants to prove he has intelligence when most of the time his brainpower is not part of his DNA. He just finds cronies who have been in trouble, but they think people forget about their wrecks and problems along the way. The boss’s

issues along with his cronies are still pushing the envelope. It is not about doing the right thing. It is about doing what bosses, cronies, ignorance, and that top notch paycheck.

I read this on the Internet after watching the film. Louis Zamperini’s was angry and had a great deal of problems trying to forgive the Japanese soldiers. However, he changed after talking with Evangelist Billy Graham.

He traveled to Japan, but The Bird would not see him. However, Louis forgave him in his heart along with other soldiers in Japan that had a part of the torture.

After reading some information about The Bird, I decided to add a little to this review. The Bird was never tried for War Crimes. The Allies suspended the war-crimes after a certain time. The

Bird made a lot of money selling insurance after the War Crimes were suspended.

Louis Zamperini died of pneumonia July 2, 2014.

“Unbroken” is a movie that all of us can take something from it that is worthwhile. From the beginning to the final scene, it will give the audience an uplifting feeling for what individuals did for our country and the people who love it. There is so much to be proud of, and so little that some people refuse to listen to or keep in their everyday life. This comes to mind, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

See you in the theater to watch the previews of coming attractions along with the main attraction.

Republicans take charge as new Congress meets for 1st day The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republicans assumed full control of Congress on Tuesday for the first time in eight years in a day of pomp, circumstance and raw politics beneath the Capitol Dome.

Before the new Congress was two hours old, a veto showdown with President Barack Obama was set as the White House announced he would veto the long-stalled Keystone XL pipeline, which Republicans intend to advance.

As the first snowfall of the winter blanketed Washington, Congress convened at noon as required by the Constitution.

On the Senate floor, newcomers mixed with veterans as Vice President Joe Biden swore in senators in groups of four.

McConnell ascended to majority leader, his elevation endorsed by rankand-file Republicans last year after they won control of the chamber from the Democrats.

Across the Capitol in the House, a similar scene unfolded as familiar faces and new ones crowded the aisles and lawmakers of both parties recited the Pledge of Allegiance. But in the House, there was an element of suspense as Speaker John Boehner of Ohio faced a tea partybacked effort to unseat him.

It came up short, but the 25 defections was an unusually high number for a sitting House speaker. It served notice that the conservative faction that has been a thorn in Boehner’s side for the past two sessions of Congress will not fall quiet during the new one despite the GOP’s bigger control.

Seeking unity despite

the internal party dissension, the GOP moved swiftly to advance the Keystone XL pipeline, setting votes in a Senate committee and on the House floor for later this week.

After months of equivocating, the White House announced Tuesday that Obama would not sign the bill. Spokesman Josh Earnest said there is a “well-established” review process that is being run by the State Department that should not be undermined by legislation.

It was a preview of things to come as both sides positioned themselves for two years of clashes and, perhaps, occasional cooperation that will help shape the outcomes of the 2016 presidential and congressional elections. Obama planned

to meet with the new congressional leaders at the White House next week.

McConnell replaces Democrat Harry Reid of Nevada, who was a surprise no-show from the day’s proceedings after he injured himself exercising.

Reid, who broke several ribs and bones in his face when a piece of equipment snapped last week, said his doctor had ordered him to work from home Tuesday. A photo Reid posted to Twitter showed him with his right eye taped over as he met with lawmakers. His office also disclosed that he had suffered a concussion in the accident.

Newcomers and veterans alike lifted their hands to swear the oath of office, many with spouses, children and grandchil-

dren looking on to witness the biennial display of pageantry. The spectacle drew political veterans back to the Capitol as former Vice President Walter Mondale, a Democrat, and former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a Republican, mixed with lawmakers on the Senate floor.

McConnell and Boehner sought to move quickly to legislative battles ahead, but first, Boehner had to survive his reelection as speaker — the main event on any opening day’s agenda.

Tea party-backed Reps.

Louie Gohmert of Texas and Ted Yoho and Daniel Webster of Florida were nominated by colleagues as challengers to Boehner. The ranks of the op-

ponents grew in the hours ahead of Tuesday’s vote, and unexpected dissenters materialized during the televised roll call vote in the House chamber.

But the challenge fell far short, and many lawmakers dismissed it as a needless distraction at a moment when the party should be showing voters it can lead.

“It’s time to put all this silliness behind and move on,” said Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn. “We’re on probation. If we don’t perform ... (voters) can make a pivot in a heartbeat.”

Though the rebels did not succeed in toppling the 65-year-old Boehner, they insisted they had sent a message that the current high command wasn’t conservative or in-

clusive enough.

“I think we need to articulate a vision for the country, a vision for this conference,” Yoho told reporters ahead of the vote.

“I threw my hat into the ring so people could have a choice and an alternative.”

Boehner’s hand is strong after the Republicans’ sweeping electoral triumph. The party will hold 246 House seats in the new Congress, to 188 for the Democrats, the biggest GOP majority in nearly 70 years.

Coupled with the commanding majority was word of the first retirement — New York Republican Chris Gibson announced he would step down at the end of his term.

9.1%

the S&P 500

The numbers tell the story. Investors are shifting more of their money from actively managed mutual funds and putting it to work in index funds.

Through the year ended Nov. 30, actively managed funds shed $91.9 billion in assets, and stock index funds took in a net $156.1 billion, according to Morningstar.

Rather than trying to pick the winners, many investors are opting to invest in a fund that aims to track the performance of the Standard & Poors 500 index. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a low-cost way for them to at least keep pace with the broader market.

An S&P 500 index fund provides exposure to all 10 sectors of the index, but the precise amount shifts with the marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a snapshot look at the S&P 500.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Maty Noyes gave up her senior year at Corinth High School Academic and Performing Arts Center to pursue a singing and songwriting career. See Staff Writer/Photographer Zack Steen’s story coming Sunday.

Woman’s illicit affair seems to upset only her sister D E A R ABBY: My sister has been seeing a married man for two years.

He has told Abigail her the only he Van Buren reason is staying in this loveDear Abby less marriage is for his daughter (standard lie of a cheating husband).

His wife found out midway through this “relationship,” but forgave him when he swore he would stop, which of course he didn’t.

When I told my sister how wrong this relationship is and that she deserves better, I ended up alienating her.

I have recently learned that his wife just had a second child, and my sister is pregnant, too.

I’m sick to my stomach with all of this. I told her how crazy her situation is, but she refuses to see how horrible “the man she loves” really is.

She says she is fine raising this child alone, and if her lover is in their lives, then she will be satisfied with that.

I am the only one freaking out about this. How do I deal with it and not totally lose my sister? -FREAKING OUT IN ILLINOIS

DEAR FREAKING OUT: Your sister is an adult. She has made her choices and may have to learn the hard way what you have been trying to tell her. Realize that as much as you love her, you cannot live her life for her. Let her know you’re there for her and the baby, because she’s going to need all the support she can get.

DEAR ABBY: I am 30 and my husband, “Brent,” is 35. We have had some financial troubles lately and recently had to move in with my mother-in-law.

My question is, how old should a child be before his mother quits walking around naked in front of him?

My mother-in-law still walks around completely nude in front of Brent and his 39-year-old brother. Although she is in good health, she always seems to need Brent’s help getting in and out of the shower.

She also parades nude in front of me, and it makes me very uncomfortable. I have talked to Brent about it a few times, and he said she’s been this way his whole life.

Is this normal behavior? Am I overreacting? I have a daughter, and I don’t get naked in front of her. How do I approach this without causing hurt feelings? -- COVERED UP IN THE MIDWEST

DEAR COVERED UP: Obviously, in the household that your husband was raised, this behavior WAS normal. I am puzzled, however, that your mother-in-law needs help getting in and out of the shower.

What are the “boys” supposed to do -- scrub her back?

Because her nudity makes you uncomfortable, the most tactful way to approach this would be for Brent to explain to his mother that you were not raised this way, and that you both would appreciate it if she’d wear a robe when you’re around. It’s worth a try.

DEAR ABBY: If I sit at the end of a pew in church and someone comes in after me insisting I move because it’s his/her “favorite” seat, should I do it or ask the person to sit somewhere else? -- GOT HERE FIRST IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR G.H.F.: If you’re sitting in God’s house, you should be on your best behavior. Don’t commit a sin of omission; be an angel and shove over.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’ve built up plenty of goodwill, and now it’s your turn to relax. They might not remember all the things you did, but they will definitely remember how you made them feel.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You might be surprised at whom you’ll influence. You can be sure that the impression you make will travel long distances and extend far into the future, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’re generous now -- maybe too generous. Think twice before you share to prevent yourself from accidentally giving away what you should have kept for yourself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Use reverse psychology. People will want what they think they can’t have. Create a sense of scarcity around what you’re offering. When something is too abundant, it will be perceived as common and undesirable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Make

big plans, because without them, you’ll be reacting to life instead of creating it. Not all of your plans will work out, but you’ll sure be better off for having made them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

If you don’t believe something should be yours, then you won’t be able to obtain it. Work on your own feelings of worthiness. You really do deserve this, and the only one keeping you from it is you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You can’t help it that you’re drawn to highly competitive arenas. But with your high level of focus, you put the odds in your favor. You’ll spend many tireless hours on the same activity until a breakthrough is inevitable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

When people are not understanding you, it’s natural to want to repeat yourself, loudly.

However, such a tactic won’t work. You need new words instead. Change your language and approach.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can’t help but wonder whether life would have been different had you made another choice. Rest assured, you made the right choice then, and today brings a kind of proof you’ll find quite satisfying.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have so much on your mind that socializing might not seem like a huge priority. But make a weekend plan anyway -- you’ll be glad when Saturday comes around.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Where you spend your time will be crucial to the way relationships develop. A comfortable environment will allow you to shine. If you’re not comfortable, it will be better to leave than to try to make things work.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Today brings a chase of some kind. Don’t assume anything about the thing or person you’re after. This situation will require you to be fully aware and on your game.

Two-time Sprint Cup champion Terry Labonte quietly retires from NASCAR

BK Racing expands, moves to new facility

ISC Archives

One of NASCAR’s most popular drivers of all time, two-time Sprint Cup champion Terry Labonte, quietly retired following the fall race at Talladega Superspeedway. For the past several seasons, he’d been running a limited schedule and keeping a low profile while doing so.

But in his heyday, he ran up some impressive numbers. He made 890 starts in the Cup series — third on the all-time list behind Richard Petty with 1,185 and Ricky Rudd, with 906. He won 22 races and 27 poles in Cup, plus another 11 wins in the series now known as Xfinity, and one more in the Camping World Truck Series.

His accomplishments on the Sprint Cup circuit, particularly his championships, all but assure that he’ll one day be inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, but few races or race tracks better define Labonte’s career than Darlington Raceway and the Southern 500.

Labonte made his first start at Darlington in the Southern 500 and got both his first and his final Cup wins in the Southern 500 at “The Lady in Black.”

He was a virtual unknown when he showed up at Darlington in 1978 at the age of 21 to drive the No. 92 Chevrolet for car owner Billy Hagan, who discovered Labonte on the short tracks of Texas. Labonte replaced Skip Manning in the team’s red and white Monte Carlo.

Labonte talked about his debut during a press conference at Talladega, in which he announced his retirement.

“The good thing about it for me to run my first race there is, being from Texas, I really wasn’t that familiar with Darlington,” he said of the tricky track often described as “Too Tough to Tame.”

“If I would have been, I probably wouldn’t have picked that one as my first race.”

Labonte said the mandatory rookie meeting was an eyeopener.

“They showed a video that they played of all the things not to do,” he said. “I was sitting there watching that thing, and the guy that starred in that video was the guy that drove the car I was driving the year before.

“So everything he did wrong, they pointed out in that video.

So I sat there and I thought to myself, ‘Oh my gosh, the car is identical. It’s the same paint scheme, same number, everything.’

“So I sat right there and thought, ‘The thing to do is not make next year’s video. Don’t make all the highlights of the things not to do.’”

For Labonte, everything about that Southern 500 was new to him.

“The longest race I think I’d ever run was a 200-lapper around a half-mile track, so I started that race and I just ran and ran and thought, ‘My gosh, these guys could wreck down here. Holy smoke,’ ” he recalled. “They tore up a bunch of cars, and it was typical Darlington. It was wild. So I ran, and the race lasted forever.

“That was the longest race I ever ran in my life, so we ran

the race. I was trying to figure out how many laps were left, and finally the thing ended, and I never thought to look at the scoreboard.”

He should have looked, because he was in famous company.

When it was over, he’d finished fourth behind race winner Cale Yarborough, runner-up Darrell Waltrip and third-place Richard Petty. Behind him was Bobby Allison in fifth and Bill Elliott in sixth place.

“I’m going to the garage, and Bobby Allison and Donnie Allison came over and congratulated me, and I thought that was the coolest thing.”

Also that day, Labonte outran another young driver who was making his first Southern 500 start — one who would later become one of his greatest competitors.

Although it wasn’t his first Cup race, Dale Earnhardt finished 16th that day, driving the No. 96 Ford for Will Cronkrite. It was his final ride with Cronkrite before moving to the Rod Osterlund-owned team that delivered him his first Cup victory in 1979 and first championship the following year.

But on that September afternoon and on a lot of others, Labonte didn’t look on any of his fellow drivers as rivals.

“There were all these guys I raced against that I looked up to as a kid, and I just was thrilled to be able to actually race against guys like Richard Petty and Bobby and Donnie Allison, David Pearson, Cale Yarborough and these guys,” he said. “It was just a real honor for me to be able to compete with these guys. I never looked at any of them as a rival. I never did, and still never really felt like I had any rivals at any point in my career. To me, it was really something special just to be able to race in NASCAR with some of the guys I really admired when I was growing up.”

BK Racing, which fields the No. 23, No. 26, No. 83 and No. 93 Toyotas on the Sprint Cup circuit, has moved its racing operation from Statesville, North Carolina, to a shop near Charlotte that once housed GMS Racing and BAM Racing.

A team release said the new facility will allow the team to expand its operations.

“We needed a new location that allowed for more space to increase our performance,” said Ron Devine, owner of BK Racing. “We continue to invest into race operations to improve our potential and performance both on and off the track. It all starts in the race shop, and having the best resources and assets, in addition to our team of employees.”

Sprint Cup drivers to compete in Rolex 24 Veteran crew chief Tony Eury Jr. to head driver development Sprint Cup drivers program for LFR Chassis Kyle Larson and Jamie Veteran crew chief Tony Eury Jr. is the latest in a growing group of NASCAR veterans to get into the driver development business.

Eury, the longtime crew chief and car chief for Dale Earnhardt Jr., now works for LFR Chassis in Mooresville, North Carolina, which recently added driver development to the services it offers.

The new effort will see the company provide coaching and training in Late Model and Modified race cars.

Joining the new venture are company owner Rob Fuller, who has been a driver and engineer as well as a pit crew member for teams including Penske Racing and Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Jeff Fultz and Ryan Stone, both of whom have experience behind the wheel and on the pit box as well as in building cars, are also part of the effort.

“With the experience level of our coaches and

quality of equipment, we are taking a huge variable out of the developmental stages of a driver’s progression,” Fuller said in a company release.

“We have all wished at some point of our Tony Eury Jr. career to have the best equipment and most knowledgeable crew so we can test our driving ability, and all that is under one roof.”

The group will also offer media training and other marketing services, with longtime NASCAR publicist Nealie Stufflet in charge of that area.

For seven decades, from 1953 to the present, the Wood Brothers of Stuart, Virginia, have been racing and winning in NASCAR’s elite Sprint Cup Series.

For most of that time, their biggest competition came from the Pettys of Level Cross, North Carolina, and other teams like the ones fielded by Bud Moore, Junior Johnson, Hoss Ellington and other owners who were at their best back in the day.

Today, the teams to beat include those fielded by owners like Rick Hendrick, Roger Penske, Richard Childress, Joe Gibbs and their peers.

The Woods got most of their 98 wins decades ago and the most recent in the 2012 Daytona 500, but Eddie Wood, son of team founder Glen Wood and one of the team’s current co-owners, said winning at the Cup level is difficult, no matter what era.

“Winning has always been hard,” he said. “For a lot of years, the guy we had to beat was Richard Petty, and they didn’t come any harder to beat than him.

“The main difference today is there are a lot more people involved — from the manufacturer level to the engine builders to the people on each race team. Before, a handful of people contributed to a win; today that number is over a hundred.”

And in today’s NASCAR landscape, it usually takes more than one race team to be successful. The sport is dominated by multi-car teams, where the resources of up to four drivers and teams are combined to strengthen the whole company.

Because the Woods have remained a one-car team while many others have expanded operations, the family-owned team has opted to align itself with one of the powerhouse organizations.

For the past several seasons, the Woods have purchased cars from and shared technology with Roush Fenway Racing, but beginning with the 2015 season, they’ll switch their alliance to Team Penske. And in doing so, they’ll be moving from a Roush team that is in a rebuilding mode to Team Penske, which many consider to be one of the top two organizations in the Cup garage.

Just last year, the two-car Penske team won 11 Cup races — six with Brad Keselowski and five with Joey Logano.

In moving to Team Penske, the Woods have secured the services of one of Penske’s up-and-coming drivers, Ryan Blaney, as well as one of the company’s promising young crew chiefs, Jeremy Bullins.

Blaney, who turned 21 on New Year’s Eve, made his Cup debut at Kansas Speedway last May and already has two wins in the Xfinity Series and three in the Camping World Truck Series.

Bullins has a stout resume as well.

He recently led Team Penske’s No. 22 Ford Mustang team to its second-straight Xfinity Series car owner championship.

As a crew chief at Team Penske in the series formerly known as Nationwide, Bullins has run 99 races, winning 21, with 57 top-5 and 79 top-10 finishes. His drivers have won 14 poles and two owner championships.

In joining the Woods, Bullins, of Walnut Cove, North Carolina, is returning to a team he first worked with back in 1999.

He started working on the ProCup and Late Model cars driven by Eddie Wood’s son, Jon Wood. Then in 2000 he became race engineer for the iconic No. 21 Ford. He held that position until June of 2002. Bullins moved on to work with ST Motorsports, Robert Yates Racing and Richard Childress Racing.

Eddie Wood said he’s looking forward to resuming his working relationship with Bullins, who studied mechanical engineering at North Carolina State University before joining the Woods the first time around.

“I feel like he’s coming home,” Wood said. “He worked with us when we were still at our shop in Virginia and he was just getting started in NASCAR. “Now he’s a proven winner. It’s an honor to have him back with us. We’re anxious for him to get his first Sprint Cup victory, which will be No. 99 for us.”

Len Wood, who, like his brother Eddie, is a co-owner of the Motorcraft/Quick Lane team, believes that bringing Bullins on board will pay immediate dividends.

“Jeremy coming over from Team Penske to help us out will help in the transition from our past alliance to Team Penske,” Wood said. “Because he’s worked with Ryan in the past, and

Ryan Blaney will drive the No. 21 Ford Fusion for Wood Brothers Racing in 2015. knows the Team Penske system, Jeremy should be able to get Ryan on the right track and running competitively right out of the box, without a long development period.”

Len Wood also knows that even though Bullins was the crew chief for two Cup races in 2014, there are still some challenges ahead.

“It will be an adjustment for him on pit road calling the Cup races, which are longer than what he’s accustomed to in the Nationwide Series,” he said. “The strategies are different, but with our alliance with Team Penske, he’ll have some help in making those decisions.”

But even with the optimism that comes with the alliance with a strong team like Penske, the Woods are mindful that as a onecar team running a limited schedule and thereby not assured of starting spots for races, there is no assurance of success.

“The last few years, we’ve had our best runs on the superspeedways at Daytona and Talladega,” Eddie Wood said. “But there’s no guarantee that we’ll even be in the Daytona 500.”

Anderson signs extension with Arkansas The Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Mike Anderson wanted nothing more than to return home when he left Missouri for Arkansas in 2011. He is no hurry to leave.

The fourth-year coach signed a two-year contract extension Tuesday through the 2019-20 season. The former Razorbacks assistant was originally signed to a seven-year contract.

“This is the kind of commitment that confirms my decision to be the head coach at the University of Arkansas and return to a place that has been so great to me and my family,” Anderson said. “I know I’m the right person for this job and I know how many people in the state of Arkansas that our program touches. We will return to NCAA tournaments and I will get the job done.”

Arkansas got off to an 11-2 start this season under Anderson and is ranked No. 23. As of Monday, the Razorbacks are 70-41 under Anderson, including 60-6 at Bud Walton Arena, and their NIT selection last season was the school’s first postseason appearance since 2008.

Anderson will continue to make $2.2 million annually during his twoyear extension, the same salary as his original contract. His extension also includes a maximum of $200,000 in annual incentive bonuses related to academic achievement.

Last spring, six players graduated from Arkansas.

“Under his leadership, we have made substantial progress on the court,” athletic director Jeff Long said.

“He has firmly positioned our program to once again compete for SEC championships and return to the NCAA tournament for years to come.”

CHS was won three straight in league play after opening with

Itawamba AHS and Pontotoc.

• In the nightcap, Kendall Stafford had a double-double at the break and had outscored Shannon during the same time frame as Corinth rolled to an 84-62 win.

GLEN — Alcorn Central and Kossuth continued on their separate paths heading into the annual Alcorn County Tournament.

Alcorn Central avenged a pair of setbacks from Nov. 18 and jumped to the top of the Division 1-3A standings with a home sweep of Kossuth in the league opener for both clubs.

The Lady Bears won their seventh straight game following a 3-6 start with a 61-56 win in the opener. Kossuth, which won its first nine games, lost its third straight contest and fifth in six outings.

In the nightcap, the Bears pulled even at 9-9 on the season with a 76-75 decision. The Aggies, who like their female counterparts are the top seed in the ACT, dropped their third straight and fourth out of six contests.

• Parrish Tice tallied a season-high 36 for the Lady Aggies but was the lone Kossuth (10-5) player to score more than eight points.

With Lauren McCreless managing just nine points, Central (10-6) offset the deficit with three players in double figures.

Brianna Barnes led the way with 16, all coming in the Lady Bears’ 28-point second half. Olivia Wilson followed

No. 1 Kentucky survives in overtime The Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ky. -— Aaron Harrison scored 26 points, including two big free throws with 1:29 remaining in overtime to put Kentucky ahead to stay, and the top-ranked Wildcats withstood three final Mississippi attempts to rally before escaping with an 89-86 victory Tuesday night.

Overwhelming favorites against a Mississippi squad they had beaten 102 times in 115 previous meetings, the Wildcats (14-0, 1-0 SEC) instead survived a back-and-forth battle with the determined Rebels in their Southeastern Conference opener. Especially in OT, as missed free throws down the

stretch gave the Rebels chances to either go ahead or tie the game.

Mississippi couldn’t take advantage as LaDarius White missed on one possession and the Rebels (9-5, 0-1) lost the ball out of bounds on the next. The Rebels had one last opportunity after Trey Lyles missed two free throws with 15.4 seconds left, but Martavious Newby’s 3-pointer bounced high and was grabbed by Willie Cauley-Stein to keep Kentucky unbeaten.

Devin Booker added 13 points, Andrew Harrison 12, including a free throw with 33 seconds left, and Karl-Anthony Towns 11 as the Wildcats sur-

vived their toughest test this season. Stefan Moody scored 25 points and Jarvis Summers 23 for the Rebels, who beat Kentucky 30-26 in the paint and controlled the boards for much of the game before falling short 34-32.

Summers even had a chance to win it at the end of regulation, but his 3-point attempt with 4 seconds left bounced high off the rim with the game tied at 77.

Though the Rebels fell short of pulling off a huge upset, they succeeded in giving Kentucky the scare that few expected the Wildcats to face in the SEC. Unfazed by trailing Kentucky 12-0 and 18-5, Moody helped

Mississippi’s offense regroup to mount runs of 10-0 and 7-0 to get within 23-22 before eventually taking a 30-26 lead with 7:01 left in the half. Kentucky meanwhile followed a 7-of-9 start by making just 4 of its final 23 to enter intermission shooting 34 percent from the field. Aaron Harrison had 15 points at halftime, but missed his last three long-range shots after making his first three.

Mississippi led several times late before Kentucky battled back thanks to Aaron Harrison, who hit a big 3-pointer with 6:40 left for a 66-63 Kentucky lead. But Summers’ 18 points after halftime kept the Rebels in it.

Johnson, Martinez among 4 voted to Hall The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz dominated in an era of offense, each in their own way.

The 6-foot-10 Big Unit became the tallest of 215 players elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame and the 5-foot-11 Martinez the shortest pitcher picked for Cooperstown since Whitey Ford in 1974.

Smoltz, who found unusual success both as a starting pitcher and a reliever, also was voted in Tuesday along with Craig Biggio, the first time since 1955 writers picked a quartet of players in one year.

For many, the election of Johnson and Martinez was the long and short of it.

“You’re talking about freakish talent,” Smoltz said. “I’ve never seen at each person’s height anybody come close to what they were able to do.”

Johnson, Martinez and Smoltz were crowned by big margins on their first tries, the first trio of pitchers voted in together by the writers. Biggio made it on his third attempt after falling two votes shy last year.

Steroids-tainted stars Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa again fell far short of half of the votes and appear to have little chance of reaching the necessary 75 percent during their remaining time on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot.

“It’s actually sad, to be honest. It’s sad,” Martinez said.

“People I admired are not going in with me.”

The quartet will be inducted in Cooperstown on July 26.

The BBWAA had not voted in four players together since selecting Joe DiMaggio, Gabby Hartnett, Ted Lyons and Dazzy Vance 60 years earlier.

A five-time Cy Young Award winner with 303 victories and 4,875 strikeouts, Johnson was selected on 534 of 549 ballots by BBWAA members who have been with the organization for 10 consecutive years at any point. The left-hander appeared on 97.3 percent of the ballots, the eighth-highest mark in the history of voting.

Outfielder Dave Winfield

(6-foot-6), elected in 2001, had been the tallest Hall of Famer, according to STATS. “I don’t think people quite understand how difficult it is to be 6-foot-10 and be throwing a ball 60 feet, 6 inches away,” Johnson said. “In order to do that, you have to consistent with your release point and where you’re landing and your arm slot and all that. For someone 6-1, 6-2, there’s less body to keep under control, so it’s a lot easier.”

A three-time Cy Young winner with flamboyance to go along with his fastball, Martinez appeared on 500 ballots (91.1 percent). He was 219-100, struck out 3,154, led Please see HALL | 13A

the major leagues in ERA five times and in 2004 helped the Boston Red Sox to their first World Series title in 86 years.

Martinez followed Juan Marichal (1983) as the second Dominican Hall of Famer. Eleven inches shorter than Johnson, Martinez pitched with ex-

ceptional intensity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My body would change half an hour before the game, and I would just become this serious, focused person because my dad reminded me youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be serious about your job,â&#x20AC;? Martinez recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw everybody as an enemy, and I saw everybody as like in a jungle: You just kill to survive. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

the intensity and the focus I had to keep to do it every day on a day-to-day basis. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of chip on the shoulder that people thought I had, even though that was my way to concentrate and do the day to day things that I did in baseball.â&#x20AC;?

Smoltz was on 455 ballots (82.9 percent). The 1996 NL Cy Young win-

ner was 213-155 with 154 saves, the only pitcher with 200 wins and 150 saves. He went 15-4 in the postseason during a 21year career that included 3 1/2 seasons in the bullpen when he returned slowly following elbow surgery that sidelined him for the 2000 season.

He combined with Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine

Sister-in-law asks advice on how to make peace WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My sisterin-law always makes comments about what I am eating. I keep myself trim and am careful about what I eat, but I don’t deny myself.

Last week, we went to lunch at a favorite place, and I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. It is a lovely restaurant, and the servings are large. I always take half of my meal home, as it is too much for me to eat at one time. My sister-in-law said, “If they put something like that in front of me, I would get sick to my stomach immediately.”

I have put up with her comments for many years, but that one upset me, especially since she said it while we were eating. Afterward, I wrote her a note stating that I am a widow and those lunches are my biggest meals of the day. She has a husband and, of course, fixes their largest meal in the evening.

She no longer speaks to me. Was I wrong, or was she? -- Sister-in-Law Dear Sister-in-Law: We think you are both too sensitive about inconsequential matters.

Perhaps your sisterin-law is jealous that you can eat whatever you like and she cannot do the same.

Perhaps there are other things about

Annie’s Mailbox her that annoy you, and this was simply the last straw -- or vice versa. We think a good relationship with a sister-in-law should be preserved.

Please apologize to her (not as a matter of right or wrong, but simply to start over), and say you are sorry things became so bitter and you’d like another chance. Then invite her to go someplace with you -- but perhaps not to a restaurant.

Dear Annie: For the past 20 years, my husband and I have gotten together with several other couples for one weekend a year to relax, play golf and share stores about our kids and grandkids.

We rent a vacation house, and the few of us who live close to one another plan a fun game for the group to play on one of the evenings.

We recently held our annual retreat.

On game night, we planned a gourmet dinner with cocktails, followed by the meal, followed by games. One member of our group noticed a

couple from the house next door sitting on their porch, so he invited them to join us for drinks. As we were introducing ourselves, this same friend invited the couple to stay for dinner. After dessert, when we were ready to play games, this friend and his wife left us to go next door to have a drink.

We waited more than an hour for them to return.

Do you feel this is appropriate behavior? -Old School Dear Old School: No. If your friends knew that other activities had been planned for that evening, they should have postponed the trip to the neighbors’ place for when they had unscheduled time.

This weekend had been reserved for your group. However, it also indicates that this particular friend was not terribly interested in the group game (or even the group company) and wanted to go elsewhere.

After 20 years, it is not a negative reflection on anyone that things might need a new coat of paint.

We suggest you poll the group and ask whether they’d like the activities to change. Others might have additional ideas.
