City leaders split on MLK parade BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth leaders agree a Martin Luther King Jr. parade and celebration would be a great thing for the city, but consensus on the details is not forthcoming. Some aldermen and the

street commissioner want a set parade route, date and time for each year, but Ward 4 Alderman J.C. Hill does not want to lock the organizers of an MLK holiday event into a single route and time. During Tuesday’s meeting of the Board of Mayor and Alder-

men, Hill withdrew the request for the city to formally establish an MLK event. He said the organizing group, Project Attention, will instead submit its plans annually for the city’s approval. “I am very disappointed,” he said Wednesday morning. The request for the city’s en-

dorsement of an MLK event emerged after a proposed event in January was deemed too late for the city to act on it. The proposed parade would have been in South Corinth, ending at Bishop Park, Hill said. Discussion then began of developing a larger-scale event with the city’s

blessing. “I would prefer to have a route that is approved by the city and that same route be used annually,” said Street Commissioner Philip Verdung. “The time and date would be included in that Please see PARADE | 2

More than 700 attend wildlife supper BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

From the popular Jalapeño Duck Poppers to the yummy Swamp Rabbit Enchiladas, more than 150 wildly tasty homemade dishes created a smorgasbord at Tuesday’s 30th Annual Alcorn County Wildlife Tasting Supper. “This is such a fun event – seeing everyone from different walks of life,” said Kathy Wilbanks, who not only entered two dishes in the event but also volunteered as a server on the Land Critter buffet. “Some people show up in camouflage, while others are here in three piece suits. There are so many people from this area who are hunters, so I think that is one of the things that makes an event like this so successful ... it’s very unique.”

The seven different judged categories of wildlife inspired cuisine included Water Critter, Feathered, Antlered, Land Critter, Hunting Club, Chili-Stew and Desserts. For those without the wild taste buds, Rollin’ Rumps BBQ served up traditional southern barbecue and hot dogs for the kids. “My husband hunts squirrel and deer, so I told him I was going to figure out something to cook with each one and enter two dishes this year,” Wilbanks said. “I made Squirrel Spaghetti, which is basically a chicken spaghetti recipe with squirrel meat in place of the chicken.” Wilbanks also cooked up a Deer & Pepperoni Pizza, where she used ground deer instead of ground beef. “Anything that can be cooked with beef, can be cooked with

deer,” she said. “And it tastes even better.” More than 700 area residents took a walk on the wild side trying out the many different dishes at the event held at the Crossroads Arena. “This year has been by far the biggest wildlife tasting supper we’ve ever had,” said Sandy Mitchell with the Alcorn County Soil and Water Conservation District. “We had lots of new dishes and I believe everyone who came out left happy and full.” Alcorn County Soil and Water Conservation District along with the Mississippi Forestry Commission, Mississippi State Extension Service, Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks and USDA - Nat-

The Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday adopted a policy regarding compensation of law enforcement and firefighters following a catastrophic injury in the line of duty. City Clerk Vickie Roach said the policy calls for the city to bridge the gap on workers’ compensation payments, if needed. While workers’ compensation pays 66 and twothirds percent, legislation in recent years has provided an additional 33 and one-third percent through the Attorney General’s Office. If the latter ceases to be available, the city would provide the 33 and one-third percent. The AG’s assistance does not require a catastrophic injury, and several city employees have used it, she said. The policy came about after the recent rescue of Rick Quinn from a submerged vehicle. In other business: ■ The board approved Robert Williams’ request to convert upstairs space to two residential apartments above the law office of Robert Krohn at 413 Cruise Street.

■ In property cleanup matters, the board gave a continuance to March 17 for 1509 Washington Street. Building Inspector Greg Tyson said the house is falling in, and the public cannot enter it. The board adjudicated a pair of properties on Third Street, no address given, with “Silva” listed as the owner. Continued for two weeks are 1428-A and 1428-B Cruise Street. Continued for 30 days are 1431 Cruise, 1421 Cruise, 1412 Cruise and 1211 Waldron Street. Action was dismissed for 1426 Cruise, 1412 Cruise and 1511 Bunch. ■ At the mayor’s request, aldermen approved increasing the line item for professional services by $9,600 annually to employ a person to perform public relations service, website service, citizen education, lobbying and grant searches. There was no motion to hire any specific individual. ■ The board approved offpremises beer licenses for four convenience stores at 2105 Highway 72 West, 2111 Highway 72 East, 2409 Highway 72 West and 2051 Shiloh Road, all previously owned by Taft Little and now operated by Blue Sky Corporation.

A seminar to help equip and better prepare people inside our Crossroads area churches to assist members with lifecontrolling issues will be held Saturday at the Living Free Ministries building. The local group is bringing in several experts from Living Free in Chattanooga to present “Sharing a Vision.” The event will be held from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Living Free Ministries in Corinth. Cost is $25 and includes conference materials and lunch. Living Free is located at 2024 Hwy. 72 Annex behind Magnolia Funeral Home. Clayton “Skip” Arp will be the keynote speaker because he has been involved in this type educational program for 35-years. He will bring other experienced leaders with him to help teach those that attend the session. This is a milestone week for the local Living Free organiza-

tion because celebrated their 10th anniversary on Feb. 5. Tommy Wilson organized the first meeting on Feb. 5, 2005 and had no idea it would grow so much in a decade. “Our goal at Living Free is give folks hope,” said Wilson. “There are many more disappointments in this ministry than we have successes because the battle is everyday life.” Arp said there will be two separate seminars on Saturday. There will be a seminar for those that have life-controlling issues and the other seminar will be to train those committed to helping others with life-controlling problems. “We need churches to take down the walls to work together and help build faithbased solutions for people who need help,” said Arp. “I feel churches can make an impact by helping learn how Please see SEMINAR | 2

Women’s cancer deaths shift in rich countries Associated Press

For the first time, lung cancer has passed breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths for women in rich countries. The reason is smoking, which peaked years later for women than it did for men. Lung cancer has been the top cancer killer for men for decades. “We’re seeing the deaths now” from lung cancer due to a rise in smoking by women three decades ago, said Lindsey Torre of the American Cancer Society. The society released a report Wednesday, based on new numbers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Globally, there were

about 14 million new cancer cases and 8 million cancer deaths in 2012, the most recent year for which numbers are available. “Developing countries account for 57 percent of cancer cases and 65 percent of cancer deaths,” Torre said. For men, lung cancer has been the leading cause of cancer death globally for several decades. In poor countries, breast cancer remains the top cancer killer for women. Colon cancer has grown as a cause of death worldwide. As for the number of cases diagnosed, prostate and breast are the most common cancers in men

and women, respectively, in rich countries. Lung cancer became the top cancer killer for men in the 1950s, and for women in the late 1980s, reflecting trends in smoking rates. Smoking rates have leveled off or dropped in rich countries. In the United States, “we are already seeing lung cancer death rates decline,” Torre said. The American Institute for Cancer Research says half of all cancers are preventable. Healthy diets and getting enough exercise cut risk. The hepatitis vaccine helps prevent liver cancer; the HPV vaccine lowers the risk of getting cervical cancer.

Christmas and Veterans Day parades has been suggested, but Hill said the organizers may want to do different things from year to year. He likes the idea of a parade beginning in the depot area and concluding at Bishop Park. Kim Ratliff, a pastor in the South Corinth community, asked the board to remember the civil rights leader’s legacy of inclusiveness. “I would just say to this body, personally, as a citizen in this community, I would like for us to see how we can overcome hurdles rather

than create them,” he said. Mayor Tommy Irwin suggested the board should hear from representatives of Project Attention. Hill said he will not bring the item back to the agenda. “I don’t want to beat a horse to death,” he said. “As long as I am involved, I am going to submit it on an annual basis, the total package of what the organizers want to do. If somebody brings it up from the community, naturally they are going to have my support.”

working with prosecutors and law enforcement, helping addicts deal with the shame of their problems, the faith community in how to sustain recovery programs and how to build successful jail ministries. Wilson is excited about the seminar and the impact it could have on our area in the future. “My pastor (Oakland’s Dr. Randy Bostick) said this seminar would be like putting another tool in your toolbox,” said Wilson. “I can’t empha-

size enough how much our churches could benefit from having a program to help folks in their community.” The plain-spoken Wilson admits it is a tough fight to assist anyone with addictions. He said there is a definite need for more people to join him in offering to lend a helping hand struggling in life.

Sam Kemp of Corinth was part of a team that spent the week of Jan. 10-17 in Escuintla, Guatemala. The team assisted people there in installing a system to provide clean water for their community.

will provide clean water for a community of 300-500 people. Kemp was part of a team from Living Water World Missions, headquartered in Visalia, Ca. Other members of the team assisted local people educating them as to how and why they need clean water. Many are in areas where there is little or no health education and are often

unaware. The bacteria found in the water carries disease. Chronic intestinal problems and high infant mortality rate are common in Central America as well as many other countries in the world. The water systems used were developed by Living Waters for the World, headquartered in

Franklin, Tenn. There are approximately 700 systems in operation in 25 different countries. (For more information, contact Sam Kemp at 662-2871646 or Living Water World Missions, a 501c3 organization at livingwaterworldmissions. org.)

The Sun Herald

GULFPORT — Four mismatched infant socks and a heated rice bag kept 2-month-old Annie warm on the operating table as her heart rate slowed and she began to lie still. When Annie was finally under anesthetic, Dr. Jennifer Morris prepared to make a small incision on the belly of the retriever mix. She spayed Annie in about 10 minutes. “The blood vessels are small. The incisions are smaller. The recovery time is almost zero,” Morris said of Annie’s surgery. As she closed the incisions, Morris joked that she’s also a tattoo artist — she marked one of the openings with green permanent ink to help identify Annie’s surgery in the future. “We tattoo everybody. If you want straight lines, I’m your girl. And in green, then I’m definitely your girl,” she said. Morris’ schedule is packed with surgeries, procedures and rounds from the moment she walks into the Humane Society of South Mississippi on U.S. Highway 49. She usually arrives at 8 a.m., and is in surgery until 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. Then she makes rounds and checks on all the animals. Morris said she loves her routine. “When I come here I know exactly what’s going to happen, mostly, every day,” she said. Morris, a D’Iberville native who lives in Saucier with her husband, children and pets, left a private practice and took a pay cut to

join the HSSM team eight years ago. She said she hasn’t looked back. “When this position came open, it just called to me because I had been doing shelter work so long,” she said. “I felt like I could do the most amount of good and prevent the most suffering with my daily time.” She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, and she and a friend started a small nonprofit organization that worked with Southern Pines Animal Shelter in Hattiesburg. When she went on to veterinary school at Mississippi State University, she said the next logical thing to do was ready herself to work at a practice. Morris said shelter medicine is completely different. “I definitely had to learn a whole new set of skills,” she said. “At the time, shelter medicine wasn’t the focus (in school).” Shelter medicine, she said, is almost like managing a herd of cows except it’s dogs and cats. Because HSSM houses a large population of animals, group health is vital in keeping a healthy clinic. “We have to do everything with the financial situation in mind because we’re nonprofit and we depend on our community to support our work,” she said. “We have to use those dollars very efficiently.” Morris said she does vaccinating, nourishing animals back to health and spay and neuter surgeries every day. She also does emergency surgery, noting

she’s become efficient in amputations. “I’m really good at cutting things off of animals,” she said. Morris works almost exclusively with her team of animal-care specialists, whom she described as her closeknit work family. She and her team are very proud of their accomplishments. Eight years ago, HSSM was taking in 18,000 animals. In 2014, that number dropped to fewer than 8,000. “That’s so fast. That’s the goal, to make that number keep getting lower so live release keeps getting higher,” she said. “Every time I spay a dog, it’s almost like I’m saving another several hundred animals from being euthanized.” Morris said she could make more money at a vet clinic, but that wouldn’t make her happy. “I’m happy coming to work every single day because I’m making a difference,” she said. “The difference is made up in job satisfaction, not dollars.” Morris was recently one of five veterinarians from around the country selected for a fellowship with University of California Davis, University of Wisconsin and the ASPCA that advocates for shelter medicine education. She said recognizing the importance of shelter practice is vital for future veterinarians. “People are finally recognizing that caring for shelter animals is a completely different animal than caring for individual animals like you would at a private practice,” she said.

Associated Press

GULFPORT — A Texas man suspected of being a courier for a Mexican drug cartel is scheduled for trial March 2 in federal court in Gulfport. Prosecutors said Luis Miguel Aguilar-Gutierrez, 28, of Brownsville, Texas, is charged in a three-count indictment alleging interstate travel in aid of racketeering enterprises and bulk cash smuggling. He has pleaded not guilty. Aguilar-Gutierrez has been held without bond since his arrest in September. The Sun-Herald reports court records show Aguilar-Gutierrez is accused of trying to smuggle money out of the United States to escape currency-reporting requirements. In addition, he’s accused of assisting a Mexican drug cartel he claims threat-

ened to harm his family. Jackson County deputies stopped AguilarGutierrez, driving a 2003 Dodge Ram pickup that was towing a 2001 Ford Expedition SUV, on Interstate 10 on Sept. 3. Deputies said he crossed into another lane while on the I-10 bridge over the Escatawpa River in Moss Point. Court records show Aguilar-Gutierrez told deputies he’d been to Montgomery, Alabama, and bought the SUV for $2,500. Receipts in bags recovered in the vehicle showed he had been to Decatur, Alabama on Aug. 27-28 and the SUV was bought in July, according to court documents. Deputies said they noticed tool marks under the SUV. There was no oil in the oil pan but something appeared to be stuck in there, they said.

State could change process to get vaccine exemption Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi State Department of Health would lose its role in deciding whether a child can skip or delay a mandatory vaccination against measles or other diseases, under a proposal that awaits debate at the state Capitol. House Bill 130 says a physician could grant a patient’s vaccine exemption for medical reasons, without seeking the Health Department’s approval for that exemption.

Children must show proof of vaccination before entering school or day care in Mississippi. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that for 2013-14, Mississippi had the largest percentage of kindergartners in public and private schools who have been vaccinated. Mississippi had a 99.7 percent vaccination rate for that age group for three vaccines: measles, mumps and rubella; the diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis; and varicella.

Corinth, Miss.

‘Better Schools’ coalition shows no sign of retreat OXFORD — It’s not clear what members of the Mississippi Legislature thought would happen after they voted to foil a citizen initiative to improve public school funding. It is clear that the Better Schools Better Jobs organization has decided not to wrinkle its collective brow, tear up and run away. “On Jan. 13&14, these lawCharlie makers put their political caMitchell reers ahead of our local school system. When the power broColumnist kers in Jackson told them to reject the citizen petition for a statewide vote on school funding, they fell right in line.” That’s from a full-page newspaper ad the coalition purchased last week. In large print, the names of lawmakers who joined the subterfuge were listed on a mock report card and given F’s. “They abandoned the people they represent to do the bidding of the political bosses.” Stern words. The coalition has decided to be plainspoken. Its website (betterms.org) calls the Legislature’s action a “dirty trick.” The shoe does fit. Lawmakers who supported the ploy are playing every voter in the state for a sucker. It may work. Who knows? Lots of people don’t pay attention. The background requires understanding a little bit about two things — the Mississippi Adequate Education Program and the Mississippi Initiative and Referendum process. MAEP is a collection of laws passed by the Legislature in 1997. It says lawmakers “shall” get data on K-12 enrollment from the Department of Education every year and “shall” use those numbers to calculate and provide “adequate” K-12 funds the next school year. Only twice (in election years) have lawmakers provided dollars sufficient to meet the criteria they set. Back to the Legislature. Way back in 1992, it created the I&R process under which voters can amend the Constitution. Most states have such a process. But the Legislature gave itself four options once an initiative becomes approved for the ballot. One and two are to ignore or endorse an initiative and let it go straight to the ballot. Three and four are to amend or reject the wording. For its part, Better Schools Better Jobs insists it can mount a public education campaign between now and November that will expose the double-dealing. Maybe. But it won’t be easy. What makes this really weird is that what the initiative seeks to accomplish is to have a court order the Legislature to do what it already said it would do, has not done and has not taken back. That’s made the comments of House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, on the amended language approved in both chambers bizarre. Talking to reporters after 64 of the 122 members of the House (later joined by 30 of the 52 members of the Senate) approved squelching the voter initiative, Gunn made a “separation of powers” argument. He said it’s just wrong to give a judge the authority to fund schools. Putting aside the fact that the Legislature has time and again chosen to have judges make state law in the context of redistricting, remember that the initiative does no such thing. It’s still up to the Legislature to define adequate funding as, again, the Legislature did in 1997. The only difference is that, if the initiative is approved, a court could order the state to keep its word. That’s pretty much the same thing former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove is seeking as attorney for several school boards who are suing the state — but they want “back pay” for their districts, too. More money, of itself, won’t cure ailing schools. But it’s a start. It comes down to this: The lawmakers trying to undermine the referendum don’t agree with MAEP but don’t want to risk being “against public schools,” especially in an election year. It’s high-stakes political gamesmanship. Guess who stands to lose? Those who need better schools to, uh, get better jobs. (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

Prayer for today Heavenly Father, I pray that I may not let pride keep me down when it may be mine to be carried to the heights. With tenderness take me out of myself, that I may see how pride deceives, and destroys an humble spirit. Help me to master both stubbornness and pride. Amen.

Obama argues for more spending Word comes that Barack Obama’s budget will, not surprisingly, call for ending the sequester spending limits now in effect. That’s not surprising. White House aides proposed the sequester, but Obama thought it wouldn’t go into effect because Republicans couldn’t accept its sharp limits on defense spending. But with voters recoiling against foreign military involvement, they could and did. At the time, Keynesian economists predicted that the sequester — “austerity” — would squelch economic growth. And they predicted that Republicans’ failure to continue extending unemployment benefits beyond 26 weeks would result in mass misery. The Keynesian predictions have proven unfounded. The 2009 stimulus, much of it devoted to preserving public employee union jobs, didn’t seem to stimulate much. Growth after the tough early 2014 winter, though still not dazzling, has been stronger than in pre-sequester years. Unemployment fell sharply as an end of benefits prompted workers to find jobs and employers to hire them. Obama will argue for more spending on the grounds that the federal budget deficit is now sharply down. It is: The Congressional Budget Office says it declined from 10 percent of gross domestic product in his first year in of-

fice — blame George W. Bush and the financial crisis if you like — to around the 50-year Michael average of 2.7 Barone percent. The seColumnist quester contributed to that by holding down spending. But credit also goes to the fact that our tax system is much more progressive than you’d gather from Obama’s rhetoric. CBO reports that the top 20 percent of earners pay 70 percent of all federal taxes, and the top 1 percent pay 24 percent. The U.S. tax system is actually more progressive than the systems of Western European welfare states that rely heavily on valueadded (i.e., sales) taxes. Progressive taxes produce volatile revenue streams, plunging when profits and capital gains are low, zooming upward when they’re high. That’s because high incomes and capital gains are volatile, and high earners can, legally and morally, structure their affairs to minimize taxation. So even in a period of tepid economic growth, federal revenues rose from 15 percent of GDP in 2009 to 17 percent in 2014 — not as much as in the early 1980s recovery or the late 1990s bubble, but still significant.

Yet there are limits. In the 2008 campaign, ABC’s Charlie Gibson asked Obama if he would raise capital gains taxes even if, as has often been the case, that would mean lower tax revenues. Obama said yes. For him “fairness” meant taking more of people’s money even if the government ends up with less. That reduces after-tax economic inequality. But it doesn’t help reduce federal budget deficits. To do that, you have to do more than raise tax rates on high earners. As Bloomberg’s Megan McArdle writes, “We are simply running out of room to pay for generous new programs with higher taxes on the small handful of people who make many hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.” Income taxes as a percentage of GDP, the CBO reports, are already approaching the highest level in the last 50 years. To exceed that level, you have to go where the money is – you have to raise taxes on the middle class. Obama claims he’s advocating “middle class economics.” But a Brookings-Urban Institute study showed his tax and economic policies would produce no significant gains for those on the middle 60 percent of the income ladder. And Obama had to ditch his proposal to tax withdrawals from 529 college savings

accounts after protests not just from Republicans but from Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chris Van Hollen, who represent affluent gentry liberal districts. In any case, as CBO reports, the budget deficit is on track to rise as a percentage of GDP far in future years. Entitlements – Social Security, disability insurance, Medicare – will eat up a growing slice of the economy. Obama’s Democrats have rejected all attempts at entitlement reform. At every opportunity they opt to run one more campaign assailing Republicans for cutting Social Security or Medicare, even though the over-65 crowd has become a solidly Republican voting bloc. So entitlement spending will increasingly squeeze out spending on Democrats’ domestic wish lists. That puts pressure on Democrats to raise taxes that will inevitably fall on the middle class, and more so as Keynesian policies sputter. Bad policy is, sooner or later, bad politics.

Bureaucrats pay no price for being wrong It was refreshing to see meteorologists apologize for their dire — and wrong — predictions of an unprecedented snow storm that they had said would devastate the northeast. It was a big storm, but the northeast has seen lots of big snow storms before and will probably see lots of big snow storms again. That’s called winter. Unfortunately, we are not likely to hear any similar apologies from those who have been promoting “global warming” hysteria for years, in defiance of data that fail to fit their climate models. What is at issue is not whether there is “climate change” — which nobody has ever denied — but whether the specific predictions of the “global warming” crowd as to the direction and magnitude of worldwide temperature changes are holding up over the years. The ultimate test of any theoretical model is not how loudly it is proclaimed but how well it fits the facts. Climate models that have an unimpressive record of fitting the facts of the past or the present are hardly a reason for us to rely on them for the future. Putting together a successful model — of anything — is a lot more complicated

than identifying which factors affect which outcomes. When many factors are involved, is Thomas which Sowell common, the challenge is Columnist to determine precisely how those factors interact with each other. Everyone can agree, for example, that the heat of the sunlight is greater in the tropics than in the temperate zones or near the poles. No part of Europe is in the tropics, but record temperatures in European cities like Athens and Seville have been higher than the highest temperatures ever recorded in cities virtually right on the equator, such as Singapore in Asia or Nairobi in Africa. None of this disproves the scientific fact that sunlight is hotter in the tropics. It is not only the heat of the sunlight, but its duration, that determines how much heat builds up. The sun shines on the equator about 12 hours a day all year long. But, in the temperate zones, the sun shines more hours during the summer – almost 15 hours a day at the latitude of Seville or Athens.

It is also not just a question of how much sunlight there is falling on the planet but also a question of how much of that sunlight is blocked by clouds and reflected back out into space. At any given time, about half the earth is shielded by clouds, but cloudiness varies greatly from place to place and from time to time. The Mediterranean region is famous for its cloudless summer days. The annual hours of sunlight in Athens is nearly double that in London – and in Alexandria, Egypt, there are more than twice as many annual hours of sunlight as in London. How surprised should we be that cities around the Mediterranean — Alexandria, Seville, and Tripoli — have had temperatures of 110 degrees or more, while many tropical cities have not? Clouds and rain are common in the tropics. American cities like Phoenix and Las Vegas often hit summer temperatures of 110 degrees or more, because they are located where there are not nearly as many clouds during the summer as are common in most other places, including most places in the tropics. The highest temperatures on earth have been reached in Death Valley, California, for the same

reason, even though it is not in the tropics. Putting clouds into climate models is not simple, because the more the temperature rises, the more water evaporates, creating more clouds that reflect more sunlight back out into space. Such facts are well known, but reducing them to a specific and reliable formula that will predict global temperatures is something else. Meteorology has many facts and many scientific principles but, at this stage of its development, weather forecasts just a week ahead are still iffy. Why then should we let ourselves be stampeded into crippling the American economy with unending restrictions created by bureaucrats who pay no price for being wrong? Certainly neither China nor India will do that, and the amount of greenhouse gasses they put into the air will overwhelm any reductions we might achieve, even with draconian restrictions at astronomical costs.

U.S. set to destroy chemical weapons PUEBLO, Colo. — The United States is about to begin destroying its largest remaining stockpile of chemicalladen artillery shells, marking a milestone in the global campaign to eradicate a debilitating weapon that still creeps into modern wars. The Pueblo Chemical Depot in southern Colorado plans to start neutralizing 2,600 tons of aging mustard agent in March as the U.S. moves toward complying with a 1997 treaty banning all chemical weapons. “The start of Pueblo is an enormous step forward to a world free of chemical weapons,” said Paul Walker, who has tracked chemical warfare for more than 20 years, first as a U.S. House of Representatives staffer and currently with Green Cross International, which advocates on issues of security, poverty and the environment. The work starts less than a year after chlorine gas killed 13 people in Syria in April 2014. International inspectors concluded last month that the gas had been used as a weapon. Before the chlorine attack, 1,400 people were killed in a 2013 nerve gas attack in Syria, the U.S. said. Pueblo has about 780,000 shells containing mustard agent, which can maim or kill, blistering skin, scarring eyes and inflaming airways.

Staples buys Office Depot NEW YORK — There are few places where evolving technology has been more disruptive than in the work place, which played out again Wednesday as Staples announced it would spend about $6 billion to buy Office Depot. Once one-time rivals will no longer compete in close proximity for the same customers, instead putting up a front of 4,000 stores to hold off encroachments from the likes of Wal-Mart, Target and Amazon. com. Annual sales of the new office-supply giant are expected to approach $39 billion. The two companies tried to combine forces before but were successfully blocked by anti-trust regulators. That was almost 20 years ago, however, and with the boards of both companies signing on unanimously to try it again, they appear confident that their landscape has changed substantially. “This is a transformational acquisition which enables Staples to provide more value to customers, and more effectively compete in a rapidly evolving competitive environment,” said Staples CEO and Chairman Ron Sargent.

Ford to boost pay for 500 workers DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. is moving several hundred U.S. hourly workers into a higher pay bracket after surpassing a cap on the number of lower-wage workers it can hire. Ford said Wednesday that up to 500 workers will transition from an entry-level wage of $19.28 per hour to a top-tier wage of $28.50

per hour over the next two months. The first workers will get word this week. The majority of the workers affected are at plants in Chicago; Kansas City, Missouri; and Louisville, Kentucky. Ford, General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group — now Fiat Chrysler Automobiles — established separate wages and benefits for new employees and veteran ones as part of their 2007 contracts with the United Auto Workers union. Initially, there were caps on the number of lower-wage workers at each of the companies, but the caps at GM and Chrysler were suspended in 2009 as part of those companies’ bankruptcy reorganizations. Ford still has a cap of 20 percent, and it will surpass that this quarter with the hiring of 1,550 new workers to support pickup truck production in Kansas City and Michigan, according to Bill Dirksen, Ford’s vice president of labor affairs. Ford has a total of 50,000 hourly workers.

Commuter train smashes into SUV VALHALLA, N.Y. — A packed commuter train slammed into a sport utility vehicle on the tracks at a crossing on Tuesday night, killing seven people, injuring several others and sending hundreds of passengers scrambling to get to safety as the front of the train and the SUV burst into flames. The impact was so forceful the electrified third rail came up and pierced the train, authorities said. Among those killed was the SUV’s driver, who authorities said had gotten out of her vehicle momentarily after the crossing’s

safety gates came down around her. She then got back in and was trying to drive forward when she was hit, they said. “You have seven people who started out today to go about their business and aren’t going to be making it home tonight,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at the crash site in Valhalla, 20 miles north of New York City. The northbound Metro-North Railroad train left Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan around 5:45 p.m. and struck the Jeep Cherokee about 45 minutes later. Cuomo said six people aboard the train were killed as well, making this crash the railroad’s deadliest. It was unclear how fast the train was going, but the maximum would be 60 mph, a railroad official said. The train shoved the SUV about 10 train car lengths. Smoke poured out of the scorched front rail car, its windows blackened.

Driver loses bid to delay Morgan suit NEWARK, N.J. — A federal judge has ruled against a Wal-Mart driver involved in a crash that killed a comic and severely injured actorcomedian Tracy Morgan and several others. Driver Kevin Roper had filed a motion to delay Morgan’s lawsuit against Bentonville, Arkansas-based Wal-Mart stemming from the June 7 crash in New Jersey. Roper faces several criminal charges in state court, including death by auto, but he hasn’t been indicted yet. He’s not a defendant in Morgan’s federal lawsuit but wanted to intervene in that suit and delay it from moving forward until his criminal case could be resolved.

2nd person charged in man’s death WIGGINS — A second person has been arrested in connection with the Jan. 24 death of Stone County businessman Timmy Garrison Sr. Sheriff Mike Farmer says 64-year-old Emmett E. Entrekin, 64, of Harpersville, Alabama, is charged with felony conspiracy to commit murder. That’s the same charge facing Garrison’s wife, 51-year-old Evelyn Garrison, who is already in custody. Farmer says few details are being released because the investigation is continuing. Farmer says deputies found Timothy Garrison dead inside the family’s business, Beatrice Sawmill and Woodmizer. Entrekin and Evelyn Garrison are being held in the Stone County jail on $1 million bond each. It’s not known if they have attorneys.

House rejects bills on debt collection JACKSON — House members are having second thoughts about bills that would allow governments and hospitals to seize state income tax refunds to pay debts. The Mississippi House voted 75-41 to reject House Bill 1154, which would have allowed hospitals to seize the tax refunds using the state Revenue Department. Hospitals can already garnish wages and seize property after getting a court judgment, which would have been required to take tax refunds. Leaders shelved a second bill to let state and local governments seize tax refunds for debts. That could have allowed cities to take refunds for unpaid traffic tickets and counties to take refunds for garbage fees.

Opponents say it’s too harsh to take a debtor’s refund. Supporters say people should pay their bills.

RPM acquires Indiana stores GULFPORT — A company that started with three Domino’s stores in South Mississippi 34 years ago this week is adding 73 stores in what is being called the largest Domino’s U.S. acquisition. Glenn Mueller Sr. and his brother, Richard, opened Domino’s on Feb. 6, 1981, in Gulfport. The business, which remains headquartered in Gulfport, has been the largest U.S. franchisee in the Domino system for 30 years. Now, the brothers tell The Sun Herald they are buying 45 stores in Indiana from Bob Taylor. The acquisition includes nearly 40 stores in the Indianapolis metro area, and stores serving South Bend near the University of Notre Dame and West Lafayette, home of Purdue University. Glenn Mueller said the Indianapolis area has close to 1 million people and the opportunity was there. Mueller said RPM will also buy stores in North

Carolina. Another 28 new stores are part of the agreement and will be built in Mississippi, Louisiana and Indiana, Mueller said. With this purchase, 185 stores will be operated by RPM Pizza, and Mueller said the goal is at least 215 stores by 2018. When complete, the acquisition will give RPM Pizza operations in seven states, employing more than 3,800 with an annual payroll exceeding $35 million.

Small plane makes emergency landing TUPELO — A small plane landed safely at the Tupelo Regional Airport after reporting issues with its landing gear. The single engine Cessna made a soft crash landing before 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. Tupelo Fire Chief Thomas Walker says the back landing gear came down but the front wheel did not. He says the plane skidded on its nose for about 30 yards and stopped in the middle of the runway. There was no fire and the pilot was not hurt. Walker said the pilot flew to Starkville and had returned to Tupelo when he noticed the landing gear problem.

â€œA JOURNEY WITHOUT JESUSâ€? When Jesus was twelve years of age, Joseph and Mary went to Jerusalem to observe the feast of the Passover. After traveling a day toward home, they discovered that Jesus was not in their midst. Three days later, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors hearing them and asking questions. Think of the concern that Joseph and Mary had after discovering that they had gone a dayâ€™s journey without Jesus (Luke 2:41-52). Thousands are making their journey today without Jesus with little or no concern. It is even more tragic when people make the entire journey of life without Christ. The Bible describes those who are making their journey without Christ as spiritually dead. â€œAnd you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sinsâ€? (Eph 2: 1 ). A further description is given of those spiritually dead in Ephesians 2:12. â€œThat at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the worldâ€?: The spiritually dead have nothing to look forward to in this life or the life to come. Luke 12: 16-21 describes the condition of a rich man who thought that everything was going his way. God refers to this man as a fool in Luke 12:20, â€œBut God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast providedâ€?? Life for those who are making their journey without Christ is nothing more than a waste of time. Luke 16:23-24 shows the condition of a rich man on lifeâ€™s other side. â€œAnd in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flameâ€?. We are journeying with Jesus only when we live by the word of God. The Bible reveals that all who do not know God and do not obey the gospel will be lost (2 Thess 1 :7-9). All of us need to make our journey with Jesus because we do not know when our journey will end. We must make our own decision because no one can make this decision for us.

Others join prison strip search suit BY TRAVIS LOLLER Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. â€” Two women and three children have joined a lawsuit that claims female visitors at a private Tennessee prison were forced to undergo strip searches because they were menstruating. The lawsuit against Corrections Corporation of America was first filed two weeks ago in federal court in Nashville. The original plaintiff claims prison guards forced her to expose her genitals to prove she was menstruating when she tried to take a sanitary napkin into the facility. Since then, two more women have come forward claiming similar treatment at the prison

about 85 miles southwest of Nashville. In an amended complaint filed on Wednesday, one of the women claims that she had her three children with her during an April 2014 prison visit, and that they had to witness the procedure. The womanâ€™s 16-yearold questioned the guard about the necessity of the inspection, according to the lawsuit, and her 5-year old asked the woman why they had done it. Her 3-year-old child also was present. â€œThe body cavity search in front of her three children caused Plaintiff extreme emotional distress and caused her to feel humiliated, embarrassed and dehumanized,â€? according to the lawsuit.

Corrections Corporation of America spokesman Jonathan Burns said in an email that maintaining safe facilities was a top priority. â€œTo that end, CCA facilities employ standardized policies and procedures to prevent the introduction of contraband, which are typically prescribed by our government partners,â€? Burns wrote. CCA operates the South Central Correctional Facility in Clifton for the Tennessee Department of Correction, which is the â€œgovernment partnerâ€? in this case. Tennessee Department of Correction policy says visitors may have to replace feminine hygiene products in the presence of a guard, but only if

there is reasonable suspicion that contraband is being brought in. The lawsuit claims CCA is violating this policy by forcing all menstruating women to undergo a search regardless of whether there is any suspicion of contraband. It also claims guards are going beyond what the policy allows by inspecting womenâ€™s genitals. The lawsuit seeks damages for the plaintiffsâ€™ humiliation and asks that such automatic searches of all menstruating women be banned as unconstitutional. The plaintiffs have asked the court to let them proceed anonymously because of the embarrassing details of the claims.

2nd Harper Lee novel to be published in July BY HILLEL ITALIE Associated Press

NEW YORK â€” â€œTo Kill a Mockingbirdâ€? will not be Harper Leeâ€™s only published book after all. Publisher Harper announced Tuesday that â€œGo Set a Watchman,â€? a novel the Pulitzer Prizewinning author completed in the 1950s and put aside, will be released July 14. Rediscovered last fall, â€œGo Set a Watchmanâ€? is essentially a sequel to â€œTo Kill a Mockingbird,â€? although it was finished earlier. Reactions ranged from euphoria (Oprah Winfrey issued a statement saying, â€œI couldnâ€™t be happier if my name was Scoutâ€?) to skepticism that the new book will be of the same quality as â€œMockingbird.â€? Biographer Charles J. Shields noted that Lee was a â€œbeginning authorâ€? when she wrote â€œWatchman.â€? The 304-page book will be Leeâ€™s second, and her first new work in print in more than 50 years, among the longest gaps in

history for a major writer. â€œIn the mid-1950s, I completed a novel called â€˜Go Set a Watchman,â€™â€? the 88-year-old Lee said in a statement issued by Harper. â€œIt features the character known as Scout as an adult woman, and I thought it a pretty decent effort. My editor, who was taken by the flashbacks to Scoutâ€™s childhood, persuaded me to write a novel (what became â€˜To Kill a Mockingbirdâ€™) from the point of view of the young Scout. â€œI was a first-time writer, so I did as I was told. I hadnâ€™t realized it (the original book) had survived, so was surprised and delighted when my dear friend and lawyer Tonja Carter discovered it. After much thought and hesitation, I shared it with a handful of people I trust and was pleased to hear that they considered it worthy of publication. I am humbled and amazed that this will now be published after all these years.â€? Financial terms were

not disclosed. The deal was negotiated between Carter and the head of Harperâ€™s parent company, Michael Morrison of HarperCollins Publishers. â€œWatchmanâ€? will be published in the United Kingdom by William Heinemann, an imprint of Penguin Random House. According to publisher Harper, Carter came upon the manuscript at a â€œsecure location where it had been affixed to an original typescript of â€˜To Kill a Mockingbird.â€™â€? The new book is set in Leeâ€™s famed Maycomb, Alabama, during the mid1950s, 20 years after â€œTo Kill a Mockingbirdâ€? and roughly contemporaneous with the time that Lee was writing the story. The civil rights movement was taking hold in her home state. The Supreme Court had ruled unanimously in 1954 that segregated schools were unconstitutional, and the arrest of Rosa Parks in 1955 led to the yearlong Montgomery bus boycott.

â€œScout (Jean Louise Finch) has returned to Maycomb from New York to visit her father, Atticus,â€? the publisherâ€™s announcement reads. â€œShe is forced to grapple with issues both personal and political as she tries to understand her fatherâ€™s attitude toward society, and her own feelings about the place where she was born and spent her childhood.â€? Lee herself is a Monroeville, Alabama, native who lived in New York in the 1950s and returned to her hometown. According to the publisher, the book will be released as she first wrote it, with no revisions. By Tuesday afternoon, â€œWatchmanâ€? was in the top 10 on barnesandnoble.com, representing a flood of preorders in just a few hours. The publisher plans a first printing of 2 million copies, on a par with a novel by John Grisham or Stephen King but fewer than were printed for later books in the Harry Potter series.

Disneyland measles outbreak isnâ€™t largest in recent memory BY ALICIA CHANG Associated Press

LOS ANGELES â€” The largest U.S. measles outbreak in recent history isnâ€™t the one that started in December at Disneyland. It happened months earlier in Ohioâ€™s Amish country, where 383 people fell ill after unvaccinated Amish missionaries traveled to the Philippines and returned with the virus. The Ohio episode drew far less attention, even though the number of cases was almost four times that of the Southern Cali-

fornia outbreak, because it seemed to pose little threat outside close-knit religious communities. The Disneyland outbreak has already spread well beyond the theme parks that attract tens of thousands of visitors from around the globe, who could then return home with the virus.

the outbreak will largely depend on how many unvaccinated people get the measles shot. â€œThis was a wake-up call,â€? said Dr. James Cherry, a pediatric infectious disease expert at the University of California, Los Angeles. â€œIt could continue to smolderâ€? if not enough people get vaccinated. The California outbreak probably began when an infected person spread the illness to a handful of mostly unvaccinated people, who then exposed many others. In contrast, the Ohio outbreak â€œstayed contained within those communities, and outside people said, â€˜Well, it

doesnâ€™t really affect me.â€™ Whatâ€™s different with this one is more people can relate to Disneyland,â€? said Dr. Gregory Wallace of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC estimates 105 measles cases â€” the vast majority from California â€” have been linked to visits to Disneyland in December or exposure to infected people who went there. The agency said itâ€™s too early to predict whether this will be a particularly severe year compared with 2014, which saw more measles cases than any year since 1994. The Ohio outbreak accounted for more than half of the 644 measles cases reported last year.

â€˜The Loftâ€™ leaves dire consequences for friends The Loft, R, ***, Karl Urban, James Marsden, Wentworth Miller, Eric Stonestreet, Matthias Schoenaerts. Open Road. Director: Eric Van Looy. Length 108 minutes. Five wealthy friends share a Loft in the city. Each one has a key, and they use the Loft to cheat on their wives. They are all married, and they think this situation will by ideal for their hanky-panky. Unfortunately, big time trouble for all of them is on its way to â€œThe Loft.â€? The movie begins with a murder in the loft, and

then it moves to the beginning where it all began and back to the scene of the crime. The five guys must try to find a way to deal with the situation. Of course, it is not going to be an easy situation

to remedy. The movie has its moments as they try to determine what happened. Since only the five culprits have a key to the Loft, it

becomes even more of a horrible issue, because it is apparent that one of them did it, but which one is the $64,000 question. The movie returns to one year later in order to set the story of The Loft and how the five guys started their little escapades. They all become excited about their way of cheating on their wives and keeping it a secret. All five of the adulterers seem to be intelligent except for one who has a hot-temper and certainly does not use his brain smartly â€“ probably because he does not have very much brain

power to use. Again, he does have a horrible temper that seems to get him in trouble. It is obvious that their wives are privy about their husbandsâ€™ adulterous ways. They have arguments with their spouses, and a surprise shows up later as a bombshell to the audience and the five friends. As everyone realizes, â€œWhat goes around comes around.â€? As the movie progresses, it is obvious that everything is going out of control. The movie is suspenseful, surprising, and entertaining

for its unusual plot. Uninvolved people are very dangerous. They cannot become evil to stop evil. When individuals think they can get away with adultery or other sins, they need to remember somebody will pay, and as I wrote above, â€œWhat goes around comes around.â€? As Numbers 32: 23 states, â€œBe Sure Your sins will find you out.â€? The point is that it will catch up sooner or later. (Terry Burns is the movie critic for the Daily Corinthian. A fivestar rating means â€œdonâ€™t miss.â€?)

Rosa Parksâ€™ archive Preparation increases chances for success opening to public BY BRETT ZONGKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON â€” Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus, reflected later on how it felt to be treated less than equal and once feistily wrote of how tired she was of being â€œpushed aroundâ€? â€” parts of her history long hidden away. Beginning Wednesday at the Library of Congress, researchers and the public will have full access to Parksâ€™ archive of letters, writings, personal notes and photographs for the first time. The collection will provide what experts call a more complex view of a woman long recalled in history for one iconic image â€” that of a nonviolent seamstress who inspired others to act at the dawning of the civil rights era. A protracted legal battle between her heirs and friends had kept the collection from public view for years. But in 2014, philanthropist Howard Buffett bought the collection and placed it on long-term loan at the national library. The Associated Press has previously reported on the legal wrangling that kept Parksâ€™ archive warehoused for years. Until now, scholars have had very limited,

if any, access to the materials. â€œI think itâ€™s one of the first times weâ€™re actually able to read her voice, and it just totally goes against this image of the quiet seamstress,â€? said Margaret McAleer, an archivist at the library. â€œHer writings are phenomenally powerful.â€? Parks, who died in 2005 at 92, is beloved in American history for her civil disobedience on a Montgomery, Alabama bus. That defining moment in 1955 triggered a yearlong bus boycott that helped dismantle segregation. The library now holds about 7,500 manuscript items and 2,500 photographs from Parks, including the Bible she kept in her pocket, letters from admirers and her Presidential Medal of Freedom. A small exhibit is planned for March. All the items will be digitized and posted online. Artifacts such as Parksâ€™ clothing, furniture and a pillbox hat she may have worn on the Montgomery bus, will find homes elsewhere. The library plans to place them with other museums or institutions that can conserve and display Parksâ€™ belongings.

In any endeavor, preparation increases the chances for your success. The more an athlete practices, the better their chance of winning. Actors and actresses relentlessly rehearse before the actual performance. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants, along with other professionals devote countless years to their education in preparation for their careers. Bryan Success rarely Golden occurs by accident. who is Dare to Live Anyone Without Limits good at what they do has invested lots of time and effort in preparation. It is hard work, not magic. Although itâ€™s great to have natural ability, tenacity is more important than talent. Preparation is a process that begins with an understanding of what it takes to be successful in your chosen endeavor. You donâ€™t have to reinvent the wheel. Study other successful people in your field. Discover the process they went through to order to get to where they are. Save yourself time by duplicating winning formulas. Follow what has worked for others. The more you prepare, the more luck you will have. Luck is where preparation meets opportunity. Life is fluid. The road to success is filled with twists, turns, challenges, obstacles, problems, and setbacks. Preparation gives you a real edge in your journey. However, you must adapt and adjust

as needed when encountering the unexpected. In order to be successful, failure is not an option. Failure only occurs when you give up. Itâ€™s certainly frustrating when things donâ€™t go as planned. Rather than becoming drained, use your energy to figure out the best way to adapt to a change in circumstances. You canâ€™t control your environment but you do have control over your response. Adapting may require additional preparation, a change in expectations, moving a deadline, utilizing additional resources or perhaps even altering a goal. Itâ€™s no different than driving a car. As you travel down the road, you adapt to changing conditions such as traffic, weather, and obstacles. You also must make appropriate adjustments as needed. When driving, you adapt to a change in weather by adjusting your speed. If you donâ€™t, your risk of running off the road increases dramatically. Aspects of your journey that may need to be adjusted based on circumstances include speed, patience, determination, attitude, and effort. Some journeys canâ€™t be rushed. Asking someone to marry you on the first date is rarely successful. You may have a desire for financial independence. But unless you win the lottery or receive a sizeable inheritance, it wonâ€™t happen overnight. Putting an unreasonable time limit on reaching your goal leads to frustration. Success takes patience. Attaining your goal is what

matters. The exact time needed is irrelevant. When something is taking longer than anticipated, you have to adjust. Patience is essential for success. Itâ€™s wonderful when things go exactly as expected. But if things donâ€™t go as planned, strengthen your determination. Success is only possible by persisting in the face of adversity. Remember that failure only occurs when you give up. â€œWhen the going gets tough, the tough get going,â€? is the way dreams are turned into reality. Keep adjusting your attitude to keep it positive. A negative attitude only worsens a situation. Donâ€™t listen to anyone who tells you that being negative is being realistic. A positive attitude is essential for overcoming adversity. Life requires effort. Ironically, it takes as much effort, if not more, to suffer as it does to succeed. Putting extra effort into preparation is much more effective than the effort required to fix things later. â€œIf you donâ€™t have time to do it right the first time, where will you find the time to do it over?â€? is a good question to ask yourself before cutting corners. Prepare first. Then adapt and adjust as needed to stay on your course. Now available: â€œDare to Live Without Limits,â€? the book. Visit www.BryanGolden.com or your bookstore.

What a drag Financial analysts anticipate that Philip Morris Internationalâ€™s fourth-quarter 2014 earnings declined from a year earlier. Philip Morris, which sells Marlboro and other cigarette brands outside the United States, is due to report financial results today. The company has raised prices and cut costs to cope with declining cigarette shipments. At the same time, it has been able to grow its share of the retail market in a number of key regions, including Argentina, France, Germany and Russia.

Addressing stealing stuff within family WIZARD OF ID

Dear Annie: My twin sister and I are 57. Every time she visits me, she takes things. Often, I don’t realize the things are missing until I need to use them, or when I want to wrap them as gifts, which is what happened last Christmas. When this has happened in the past, I’ve confronted my sister, but she denies taking anything. However, during my last visit to her new home, I caught her. I was hanging up my clothes in the closet, and to my shock, the top shelf had several of my missing things. I called my sister in to explain, and of course, she couldn’t lie about not stealing the items I could plainly see. I’m financially better off than my twin, but she does quite well, too. I have always been there for her when she needed anything. She lived with me for several years when she had nowhere else to go, and I helped her get out of debt. My brother also steals from me when he stays here. And when my sister came last week, after she gave me her word that she could be trusted, I discovered several items missing. Is there a reason people do this? -- Kansas Twin Dear Twin: Your twin (and your brother) may suffer from kleptomania, an im-

Annie’s Mailbox pulse control disorder that makes it difficult to resist urges to steal items that, for the most part, you don’t need and won’t use. Your risk of developing this mental health disorder is increased if you have a parent or sibling with kleptomania, obsessivecompulsive disorder or a substance abuse problem. Your siblings seem to qualify. You can talk to your sister, saying that you are worried about her, and suggest she ask her doctor for a referral to a mental health professional. We hope she gets help before she steals from someone who will have her arrested. Dear Annie: I hope my question is not too far out of line. I have noticed many people are not able to talk without using their hands. And they can’t seem to keep their hand movements to a reasonable limit. I recently stopped watching one of my favorite TV shows because the constant hand waving is too distracting. When a person I am

close to gets out of control, I lower my eyes and do not watch, but I find the constant gesturing very annoying. Why do they do this? -- J. Dear J.: Most people use their hands when they speak, some more than others. Hand gestures can underscore what you are saying and, to some extent, can also indicate friendliness or engagement in the topic. Keeping your hands still might be misinterpreted as indifference or boredom. But large and constant hand gestures can be distracting and annoying and tend to be more common within cultures or families. This obviously bothers you a great deal. If you are good friends with someone who waves his hands around excessively, you can gently point it out and ask whether he would temper the gestures a bit.
