Red Cross open to Alcorn coverage BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The American Red Cross is open to having a presence in Corinth again. But it all depends on having a willing volunteer to staff the office, according to Northeast Mississippi Chapter Manager Patty Tucker, who presented a report and plea for financial support to the Board of Aldermen on Tuesday. The city has offered space at

rently have a local office, the chapter is adding a Corinth resident, Lila McGee, to its board of directors. “We need financial support from the city,” said Tucker. “We don’t get United Way funding from Alcorn County. We want to be able to provide the same level of service that we provide in all of our counties in Alcorn County.” The chapter also plans to boost its pool of volunteers in

City Hall in the past, and the offer still stands. “If we can get a volunteer that would be willing to man this office, we would love to do that,” said Tucker. “We have that in some of our other municipalities.” She said the chapter cannot put a paid staff person in the office. The city has in recent years tied funding to having a local presence. While it does not cur-

the Corinth area. “We want more volunteers trained in Alcorn County so when there’s a disaster in Alcorn County, Alcorn Countians will be the ones that assist them,” said the manager. “They will be trained and ready to hit the ground running.” Tucker, who was accompanied by the chapter’s board chairman, recapped statistics for the past fiscal year including $16,976 given to 16 Alcorn

County families assisted following house fires; 29 military calls; and more than 200 people involved in various training. “As a whole in 2013, we touched the lives of 310 individuals right here in Alcorn County through the American Red Cross,” said Tucker. Alcorn County has been serviced by the Northeast Mississippi Chapter since the Alcorn chapter ceased operations.

percent on our most recent cycle,” added Wamsley. “Our numbers have been moving in the right direction.” The overall state dropout rate average from the most recent five-year cohort is 17 percent. “We are 6.7 percent lower than the state average right now, which is awesome,” said Wamsley. “But we have a challenge coming this year.” Starting with the 2014-15 school year, the MED will move to a four-year cohort when

It’s time to pay it forward and do something for those who have selflessly devoted their time and efforts to the service and protection of their community. With flames flickering around the county and fires destroying family homes, it is now more important than ever to support those who battle the blazes. “Glen Volunteer Fire Department is hosting a fund-raiser to update equipment and fund the fire department for the year,” said Fire Chief James McAnally. “This drive is very important, and we hope people will help out like they have in the past.” The fund drive is held annually by the fire department and has been done for at least the past 12 years. Last year, somewhere between $2,500 to $3,000 dollars was raised. According to McAnally, residents in the department’s service area on Highway 72 now have increased fire protection, a second fire station and more fire fighting capabilities as a result of new equipment. In the next few weeks, a representative will be calling on each home and business in the area. They will be asking for support in this project and offering a complimentary 10”x13” family portrait.

Dropout rate moving in right direction BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn School District cares about their students. School administrators, teachers and parents met Tuesday night for a town hall discussion on dropout prevention. The meeting, titled “Reach the Heart–Teach the Mind” highlighted the district’s current dropout rates verses the state average and some of the improvements each school has made to help prevent student dropout. “The number of dropouts we

have in our district not only impacts our overall state ratings, but also affects the local economy,” said Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith. “Tax revenue is lost, crime increases and the literacy and health of our community is affected.” It is the educators responsibly to reach out to students in need and ensure them teachers care, according to Smith. “The Mississippi Department of Education identifies three subgroups in student population,” said Elizabeth Wamsley on behalf of the school dis-

trict. “Children are classified as either those who earn a high school diploma, those who receive an occupational diploma or GED or dropouts.” In the past, MDE has looked at data from a five-year cohort study which follows students from their freshman year until time of graduation. In some cases, it would take a student five-years to graduate, instead of the traditional four, said Wamsley. “Our dropout rate was 12.9 percent two cycles ago, 10.5 percent one cycle ago and 10.3

Weary to give keynote speech at NE American Legion starts early on wreath project BY STEVE BEAVERS

sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

BOONEVILLE — Dr. Dolphus Weary is coming back. The president of the R.E.A.L. Christian Foundation, who coined the phrase “Someday I’m leaving Mississippi and I ain’t never comin’ back” during the 1960s racial problems in Mississippi, will be the keynote speaker during Northeast Mississippi Community College’s recognition of Black History Month. NEMCC’s Cultural Arts Committee is offering a week-long program on racial reconciliation, starting Feb. 10 and continuing through Feb. 14. A variety of speakers have been lined up for the “Coming Back, Moving Forward: The Challenges Before Us in Race Relations” campus event. Weary left the state in 1967, becoming one of the first black students ever to attend

and graduate from the all-white Los Angeles Baptist College. “These programs are a wonderful opportunity for students and commu- Weary nity members to hear notable speakers and learn some things they may not have known about the experiences of African-Americans in our state,” said Northeast Cultural Arts Committee Chairperson Lynn Burns. “Dr. Weary’s presentation should be particularly interesting and I urge all community members who can to attend.” Weary, one of the most desired speakers over the last 30 years on racial reconciliation, will speak during the free and open to the public event on Feb.

11. His lecture, about race relations in Mississippi during the 1960s, will take place at 7 p.m. in the Claude Wright Room on the second floor of the Haney Union. His book – “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” – is about his life maneuvering through the choice of staying in Mississippi in the 60s and trying to work his way through the system or moving out of the state and joining the civil rights movement and protesting the injustices he saw growing up. “Dr. Weary has spoken on the Northeast campus before and we are pleased to bring him back,” said Northeast Cultural Arts Committee vice-chairperson Michael H. Miller. “These programs are a way of allowing our students and community to have an open dialogue about past experiences in Mississip-

The American Legion is getting started early on a project to remember deceased veterans. Post 6 is already taking orders for Wreaths Across America which is slated for later this year. “It is a very heart touching experience,” said Carlean Parker, Vice-President of the American Legion Auxiliary, of the project which places wreaths at the graves of veterans in the Corinth National Cemetery. “Those who attend will come with a mission and leave with a memory for life.” Last year, 612 wreaths are placed at the National Cemetery and surrounding area cemeteries. The number was over 200 more than the previous year.

“Our event was a huge success,” said Parker. “My heart has been blessed many times over by the response of the community.” Cost is $15 per wreath with each sponsorship tax deductible. The wreaths are a traditional live green with a red bow. Specific grave orders can also be placed and are not limited to the Corinth National Cemetery. The 2014 ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Dec. 13 at the National Cemetery. “We should never forget and need to teach our children the values of freedom,” added Parker. “Freedom comes with a price … it has been said when a civilian becomes a soldier they sign a blank check with the Please see WREATHS | 2A

Pickin’ on the Square set at The Venue tonight BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

A Corinth tradition has found a new home. Pickin’ on the Square will become the first event held inside The Venue at SoCo at 201 Franklin Street to-

night from 7-9 p.m. The event, held every Thursday night, is a showcase of local musicians spotlighting the sounds of bluegrass, gospel, folk and country music. The free show has be-

come a Corinth tradition with local musicians entertaining their neighbors and friends. (For more information, contact Patricia Nachbar Haville at 662-287-1388 or 662-415-0669.)

Tennessee has 10 executions scheduled in the next 2 years The Associated Press

NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts says the state is scheduled to execute 10 death row inmates between this April and November 2015. The Tennessean says three executions are scheduled this year, with

seven in 2015. Gov. Bill Haslam told the newspaper’s editorial board Wednesday that he agrees with the decision to seek the executions although they didn’t go through him. The state sought the execution dates after changing the protocol for lethal injections.

Kelley Henry of the Federal Public Defender’s office in Nashville said it’s unfortunate so many death row inmates were being grouped together. Henry and other attorneys have asked a judge to halt the executions over questions about the drug the state now plans to use.

ects. “During the last Grand Illumination, our kids put together over 2,000 luminaries,” added Wamsley. “Different projects we do like this teaches troubled kids teamwork and social skills in a real life settings. Traditional subjects like Math and English are also added in.” At alternative school, relationship building is very important in dropout prevention. “For kids to feel like they matter, they have to look outside of themselves,” added Wamsley. “They have to understand their community.” At Kossuth High School, counselor Kim Lyles said scheduling plays a pivotal role. “The new block scheduling has helped us with early graduation options,” said Lyles. “This has aided in meeting graduation requirements a lot faster and getting kids graduated.” Alcorn Central High School counselor Julie Pittman uses a master Excel spreadsheet to make

sure students are not falling behind on grades or days missed. “Tracking every student from freshman year through senior year is something I started doing last year and it has helped me out tremendously in pinpointing dropouts before they happen,” she said. Jennifer Koon agreed with Wamsley. “Relationship building is the key to this entire meeting,” said Koon, counselor at Alcorn Career and Technology Center. “Teachers, if you see a student in the hallway who you heard might be having a hard time at home, reach out and talk to them ... those little things will help this entire cause.” Smith ended the meeting by thanking everyone in the school district for a combined effort. “I’m so thankful everyone works together,” she said. “We don’t just have jobs, we are invested in what we do. Everyone in this district truly cares about our kids and it shows.”

compiling data on student dropout. “We are going to lose those kids who take a little longer to graduate due to not having enough credits or falling behind because of sickness,” said Director of Secondary Curriculum Lisa Wigginton. “Every year we have about 20 or 30 students district wide who roll over into their fifth year of high school.” The Alcorn Alternative Education Center is a last resort for a possible future dropouts. Students who have had discipline problems or are failing academically are often sent to alternative school. “We are here for those higher at-risk students,” said Wamsley, who has served as a teacher at the alternative school for more than 10 years. “By the time students get to us, they have had all the traditional teaching ways tried on them.” Alternative school educators focus on getting their students involved in community mined proj-

Tupelo Furniture show opening today TUPELO â€” The Spring Tupelo Furniture Market, one of the largest furniture trade shows in the United States, will open building number one of its six buildings to the public today and will pack it with furniture, home accessories, appliances, as well as jewelry, clothing and other fashion-related items that the public and many of the furniture retailers attending want to see. Once again, the companies that will fill the 185,000 sq. ft. of space in building I will be offering incredible pricing on their products. In addition, entertainment, prizes, parties and a fashion show, as well as the chance to grab â€œshow dollarsâ€? to spend at the event will add excitement to the shopping experience. The trade show continues Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The show times are: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, 8 to 6 Saturday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

â€œThis â€˜event within our eventâ€™ has provided the perfect vehicle for furniture industry retailers that are searching for smaller companies offering unique furniture, home accessories, and other items that might round out their inventory,â€? said Kevin J. Seddon, president of the market. â€œMany of these small companies, which often sell hand-crafted furniture and accessories in smaller amounts, want to sell to both the trade and the public. Itâ€™s worked perfectly for all our attendees and for our exhibiting companies.â€? Seddon went on to explain that building I has in many ways become an incubator for many smaller exhibitors in that when showing in Tupelo, they are able to effectively make the transition from selling direct to consumers only, to selling to retail establishments. According to Seddon, many of the small companies that have shown their products in building I in the past are now selling to

retailers exclusively and have moved to the marketâ€™s â€œtrade onlyâ€? buildings. â€œWe have had great success with our first three iterations of this event and it has grown beyond our expectations,â€? said Melissa Kelly, coordinator of the Furniture & Home Accessories Show. â€œThe open floor space as well as every showroom will be filled completely for this springâ€™s show. We will be raffling prizes including a fur coat, jewelry, a $500 shopping spree and every day for one to two hours, many of those attending the event will be given a chance to â€˜grab Show Dollarsâ€™ in our money booth.â€? Kelly went on to explain that on Thursday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Skyler Lane, a past competitor on American Idol and a local Mississippian, will be on hand to entertain the crowd, sign autographs and speak to the crowd. The following Friday evening, the 2nd iteration of the â€œSparkles and Spiritsâ€? party will be begin at 4 p.m. Those par-

ticipating will enjoy hors dâ€™oeuvres, beer and wine as well as â€œdoor prizesâ€? that will begin away during the event. Wishbone, a local acoustic band will be on hand for entertainment. On Saturday, the first annual TFM Fashion Show which begins at 2 p.m. Womanâ€™s clothing, jewelry and accessories will be on display, as well as childrenâ€™s clothing and accessories. The Furniture and Home Accessories Show will house a wide-range of home furniture, appliances, specialty items and accessories at below retail and discounted prices. â€œThis event has allowed many smaller manufacturers and importers to participate in the furniture market,â€? said Debbie Henry, director of sales for the Tupelo Furniture Market. â€œThey sell to the public to off-set their costs, while attracting long-term relationships with furniture retailers. Many of them have had great success and we feel as if we have helped fos-

ter their growth as a business.â€? â€œThis, the 4th version of the Furniture & Home Accessories Show, will have more furniture than ever before, but will also have a lot accessories and fashion itemsâ€? said Katie Kimbrell, the companyâ€™s buyer recruitment director. â€œCompanies that will showcase fashion items include Bluebird Boutique, Southern Chics, 1409 Posh Boutique, touch of class and many, many more.â€? Kimbrell went on to list many more items that will be available to the public, business owners and retailers that choose to shop in building I, including all types of furniture â€“ even outdoor furniture, home accessories, rugs, frames and framed art, lighting, mattresses, pottery, appliances, electronics, clothing, jewelry, purses, artwork, yard art, lighting and lighting fixtures. Some of the major brands include Hampton Bay, Thomasville, Samsung, Frigidaire, Hotpoint and LG.

Letter to the editor

What are these people thinking? I suppose I’ll make some people angry about my opinion about legalizing marijuana. What in the name of humanity are these people thinking? Several states have already made it legal to buy pot -- just like buying a candy bar. Their lame excuse is it helps people with cancer and pain. New statistics show people that have never smoked a joint are suddenly becoming ill so they can have an excuse to use it. Any idiot knows it makes a person high just like beer, wine, whiskey and any kind of alcohol. Someone with a high is not in control of themselves when driving or anything else. What will the law do when someone on a legal marijuana high has a wreck and kills someone? Slap them on the hand and say, “That’s not nice. Don’t do that again.” Alcohol should never have been legalized anywhere, especially in Alcorn County. A few tax dollars are worth more than a human life, right? A few years back, I might not have said anything , but I am not the man I used to be. I never smoked pot or used illegal drugs and drank very little. I’m not bragging or boasting about it. I realized how important it is to be the best you can be, be kind to one another and above all: Get your heart right and don’t do anything Jesus wouldn’t do. Tommy Hunt Farmington

Prayer for today Lord God, may I not only feel the need of thee when I am burdened with sorrow and care, but may I have need of thee in my pleasures and joys. I thank thee for thy gracious kindness, thy mercy and thy protection. Amen.

Democratic Class of 1974 leaves the scene Henry Waxman and George Miller are retiring from the House and not running for re-election after 40 years as congressmen from southern and northern California. Also retiring is Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa. Sen. Max Baucus of Montana will resign if, as expected, he is confirmed as ambassador to China. Both were first elected to the House in 1974 and were later elected to the Senate. These four are just about the last serving members of the 75 Democrats first elected to the House in the Watergate year of 1974. The only other members of the Class of 1974 are Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley and Congressman Rick Nolan, who retired from the House in 1980 but was elected again in 2012. Aside from these two outliers, the Class of 1974 is about to pass into history. What did it accomplish? First, it changed the way the House of Representatives operates, starting from before its members took the oath of office and continuing to the present day. Democrats had held majorities in the House for 20 years, but the liberal majority in the caucus was often stymied by the seniority system that allowed conservative Southerners to hold

key chairmanships. Beginning in 1974, the leadership allowed the DemoMichael cratic cauBarone cus to vote up or down Columnist on chairmen against whom a certain number of signatures were gathered. San Francisco’s Phil Burton, who had shrewdly backed many ‘74ers, gathered a sufficient number of signatures for every chairman. Three were defeated by the newly enlarged caucus, including one, first elected in 1940, who addressed the freshmen as “boys and girls.” Election of committee chairmen became routine, and it meant that anyone seeking a chair had better have a voting record in line with the Democrats’ liberal majority. For example, Jamie Whitten of Mississippi, first elected a month before Pearl Harbor, shifted suddenly from Right to Left. Republicans did something similar when they won their House majority in 1994. Their 73 freshmen, shrewdly backed and mentored by Newt Gingrich, supported his move to have chairmen chosen by a leadership-dominated steering

committee. The result is that the Democratic Caucus became solidly liberal, and the Republican Conference solidly conservative. The change can be justified on neutral principles. Committees more closely resemble the legislature as a whole, which makes legislating more feasible — and party leaders and members accountable to the voters. The downside, in some critics’ view, is that the election of chairmen also gave would-be chairmen motives to raise money for other members, very often from K Street lobbyists. Many Class of 1974 members proved to be productive legislators. Waxman, who ousted a more senior chairman of a health subcommittee in 1978, sponsored bipartisan laws on generic drugs and orphan drugs (for rare diseases), forced expansion of Medicaid in the Reagan years, shaped the 1990 Clean Air Act and pushed Obamacare and cap-and-trade through the House in 2009-10. Miller worked with John Boehner and Edward Kennedy on the Education Act of 2001. Harkin helped lead the bipartisan move to double funding for the National Institutes of Health over five years. Baucus led Senate Finance Democrats for

13 years. The Class of 1974 also shifted the House and the congressional Democratic Party from hawkish to dovish. One of its first acts in March 1975 was to block funding for South Vietnam when it was under attack by the North. In the 1980s, the Democratic House kept pushing back on the Reagan foreign policy. In 2002, Nancy Pelosi led most House Democrats to oppose the Iraq war resolution. Pelosi says she is staying on, even as her ally Waxman and her consigliere, Miller, leave the House. The 201-member caucus she leads has more black and Hispanic members and fewer young doves and reformers than the 291-member caucus Waxman and Miller entered nearly 40 years ago. Still, the Class of 1974 has left a mark on history — though not as much as one Democrat who narrowly lost a House race that year, a 28-year-old Arkansan named Bill Clinton.

Retreating on illegal immigration At a time when Republicans have Democrats playing defense on Obamacare, jobs and the economy, the GOP is inexplicably ceding political ground to the Democrats on an issue that can only provide more votes for that party and possibly lead to a permanent Democratic majority. Meeting in Cambridge, Md., last weekend for what they called -- with no little irony -- a “retreat,” Republican leaders signaled they are open to considering some sort of legal status for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants who have overstayed their visas or violated American law to get here. But exactly who are the illegals? According to a study conducted by the Urban Institute, “Mexicans make up over half of illegal immigrants -- 57 percent of the total, or about 5.3 million. Another 2.2 million (23 percent) are from other Latin American countries. About 10 percent are from Asia, 5 percent from Europe and Canada, and 5 percent from

the rest of the world.” Republicans have convinced themselves HispanCal that ics are a “natThomas ural” conColumnist stituency for their party because they are hard workers, religious and family-oriented. Statistics from the Pew Research Center suggest the opposite may be true. According to Pew, 53 percent of babies born to Hispanic immigrants are to single mothers, about twice the rate of whites. As for Republican “family values,” Pew found a majority of Hispanics, 53 percent, support same-sex marriage. As a great many illegals are poor, their strain on the welfare, health care and education systems is considerable. In a recent column, Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative political analyst, cited an American National Election Study that asked Hispan-

ics their views about the free market vs. big government solutions to problems. Schlafly noted, “Only 17.9 percent of Hispanics responded ‘the less government the better,’ and 85.3 percent said ‘a strong government involvement is required to handle economic problems.’” This is not the profile of a future Republican voter. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) says illegals now make up 3.5 percent of the U.S. population, or about 10.5 million people. According to CIS, “Nationally, illegal immigrants and their U.S.-born children account for 9.9 percent of all persons in poverty, compared to their 4.9 percent share of (the) nation’s total population.” With lower incomes, illegals rely more on welfare programs. CIS says in Texas, “58 percent of illegal households collect some sort of welfare,” with “49 percent using food assistance and 41 percent using Medicaid.” In California and Illinois, reports CIS,

“55 percent use welfare.” This country needs comprehensive immigration reform, whether that means maintaining a secure border or outlining a standard of economic sustainability for immigrants. Taxpayers cannot continue to bear the economic burden of illegal immigration. The Obama administration has promised immigration reform; the Republican Party has promised it, but partisanship and politics keep both sides miles apart. If Republicans fail to come up with a workable immigration plan, they will simultaneously help Democrats who rely on the Hispanic vote and lose Republican votes. As Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz told Breitbart News, they could also fail to achieve their major goal for 2014: winning a Senate majority.

Officials reject immigration action WASHINGTON â€” Conservative Republicans on Wednesday ruled out any immigration legislation in the House this year, insisting that the GOP should wait until next year when the party might also control the Senate. House GOP leaders unveiled their broad immigration principles last week that gave hope to advocates and the Obama administration that the first changes in the nationâ€™s laws in three decades might happen in the coming months. Immigration legislation is one of the top priorities for Obamaâ€™s second term. But several of the conservatives were adamant that the House should do nothing on the issue this year, a midterm election year when the GOP is angling to gain six seats in the Senate and seize majority control. Democrats currently have a 55-45 advantage but are defending more seats, including ones in Republican-leaning states.

Robotic hand gains sense of touch WASHINGTON â€” To feel what you touch â€” thatâ€™s the holy grail for artificial limbs. In a step toward that goal, European researchers created a robotic hand that let an amputee feel differences between a bottle, a baseball and a mandarin orange. The patient only got to experiment with the

bulky prototype for a week, and itâ€™s far from the bionics of science fiction movies. But the research released Wednesday is part of a major effort to create more lifelike, and usable, prosthetics. â€œIt was just amazing,â€? said Dennis Aabo Sorensen of Aalborg, Denmark, who lost his left hand in a fireworks accident a decade ago and volunteered to pilottest the new prosthetic. â€œIt was the closest I have had to feeling like a normal hand.â€? This isnâ€™t the first time scientists have tried to give some sense of touch to artificial hands; a few other pilot projects have been reported in the U.S. and Europe. But this newest experiment, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, shows Sorensen not only could tell differences in the shape and hardness of objects, he also could quickly react and adjust his grasp.

Old fugitive files lead to escapee SAN DIEGO â€” A Michigan officerâ€™s decision to look through old files on fugitives led investigators to a woman who escaped from a Michigan prison 37 years ago and was living in San Diego, authorities said Wednesday.

House endorses teacher pay raise JACKSON â€” Mississippi House members are backing efforts to raise teacher pay by about $4,250 over four years. Representatives voted 86-26 Wednesday to pass House Bill 504. It goes to the Senate for more work. Teachers would get a $1,500 raise over the next two years, and a projected raise of $2,750 over the following two years, assuming state revenues continue growing. Teachers in their first five years would get raises automatically. Those with more than five yearsâ€™ experience would have to meet three of 22 criteria, ranging from certification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards to sponsoring a school club.

GOP conclusions miss whole story WASHINGTON â€” New estimates that President Barack Obamaâ€™s health care law will encourage millions of Americans to leave the workforce or reduce their work hours have touched off an Itold-you-so chorus from Republicans, whoâ€™ve claimed all along that the law will kill jobs. But some arenâ€™t telling it straight. The analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicts the law will give several million people an opportunity to work less or not at all, because they wonâ€™t be stuck in jobs just for the sake of keeping the health insurance they get from employers. To some Republicans, that amounts to â€œwreaking havoc on working families,â€? â€˜â€˜dire consequences for workersâ€? and a shower of pink slips across the land â€” conclusions unsupported by the report. The study estimates that the workforce will be reduced by the equivalent of 2.3 million full-time workers by 2021 as people choose to leave it. More would take early retirement, work fewer hours or otherwise rearrange their work-home balance to take advantage of new subsidies for health insurance and new markets for individual policies that donâ€™t depend on having a job.

State set to take over Scott schools

the system was violating 20 of 27 state standards. The 4,200-student district is rated â€œBâ€™â€™ under the stateâ€™s grading system, but has seen conflict between the school board and elected superintendent.

Senate sets driver fine for texting JACKSON, Miss. â€” The Mississippi Senate has voted to make texting and driving a crime â€” but not much of one. Senate Bill 2434 says anyone caught sending a text message or checking a social media site while driving can be charged with careless driving. Conviction would carry a fine of anywhere from $5 to $50.

Sunday alcohol sales hearing draws silence OXFORD â€” The Oxford Board of Aldermen is expected to vote Feb. 18 on an ordinance allowing restaurants to sell liquor

on Sundays. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that no one spoke for or against the proposal during a Tuesday hearing. The city is proposing to allow restaurants to sell liquor, wine, light wine and beer by the drink on Sundays. If a new ordinance passes, the wine and liquor element of the ordinance would require approval of the Mississippi Alcoholic Beverage Control. It would not affect retail liquor and wine sales, which are limited to state-licensed package stores. State law limits when those stores can operate. After decades of a near-total ban on Sunday alcohol, the city in 2011 legalized Sunday sales by the drink on University of Mississippi home football weekends, Motherâ€™s Day and Fatherâ€™s Day, along with Valentineâ€™s Day and New Yearâ€™s Eve when they occur on Sunday.

JACKSON â€” State officials will consider taking control of the Scott County school system Thursday. The Commission on School Accreditation will consider a takeover at its meeting, and the state Board of Education has scheduled a special meeting to affirm the action. Gov. Phil Bryant must approve an emergency declaration before officials can appoint a conservator, deposing the current superintendent and school board. Takeovers typically follow state findings of violations, and an audit released in November found

Rare â€˜frost quakesâ€™ blamed for noises ST. LOUIS â€” Chuck Herron heard the loud thud, then another and another. It sounded like someone was dropping big snowballs on the roof of his home. The house is more than 100 years old and creaks, Herron said, but he had â€œnever heard anything like that before.â€? As his neighbors in tiny Paris, Mo., huddled around televisions Sunday for the Super Bowl, many were startled by similar strange noises. Some even saw flashes of light and called 911. Scientists say the community experienced a rare natural phenomenon known as a â€œfrost quake,â€? which happens when moisture in the ground suddenly freezes and expands. If conditions are just right, the soil or bedrock breaks like a brittle frozen pipe, generating mysterious noises that range from an earthquake-like rumble to sharp cracking sounds sometimes mistaken for falling trees.

Barack Obama, doctors and anti-smoking groups when it was announced on Wednesday, puts pressure on other retailers to stop selling tobacco from their shelves as well. But first they have to overcome their addiction to a product that attracts customers. â€œThey donâ€™t make much money on tobacco, but it does draw people into the store,â€? said Craig R. Johnson, president of the retail consultancy Customer Growth Partners. CVS Caremark Corp. said it will phase out tobacco by Oct. 1 in its 7,600 stores nationwide as it shifts toward being more of a health care provider. CVS, like other drugstore chains, have been adding in-store clinics and expanding their health care offerings. Theyâ€™ve also been expanding the focus of some clinics to include helping people manage chronic illnesses like high blood pressure and diabetes. CVS CEO Larry Merlo said the company concluded it could no longer sell cigarettes in a setting where health care also is being delivered. In fact, as CVS has been working to team up with hospital groups and doctor practices to help deliver and monitor patient care, CVS Chief Medical Officer Dr. Troyen A.

Hoffmanâ€™s autopsy proves inconclusive NEW YORKâ€” Four people were taken into custody on drug charges after police investigating Philip Seymour Hoffmanâ€™s death executed search warrants, two people with knowledge of the investigation said Wednesday, and the medical examinerâ€™s office said more tests are needed to determine what killed him. There was no timetable for Hoffmanâ€™s autopsy to be finished, said medical examinerâ€™s office spokeswoman Julie Bolcer, who declined to discuss the pending tests. Toxicology and tissue tests are typically done in such cases. Police believe the Oscar-winning actor may have died from a drug overdose, though his death is being investigated as suspicious pending a more definitive ruling by the medical examiner. Hoffman was found dead Sunday with a needle in his arm, and tests found heroin â€” but no traces of the potent synthetic morphine additive fentanyl, which is added to intensify the high and has been linked to 22 suspected overdose deaths in western Pennsylvania â€” in samples from at least 50 packets in his apartment in Manhattanâ€™s Greenwich Village, law enforcement officials have said.

Fatal hit-and-run leads to arrest ITTA BENAâ€” An Itta Bena man has been arrested on charges in what authorities say was a fatal hit-and-run accident. Itta Bena Acting Police Chief Ted Washington says 31-year-old Alexias Banks was struck and killed Friday night while walking across a street. The driver of the vehicle that hit her left the scene. Banks was pronounced dead at the scene. Washington tells the Greenwood Commonwealth that 20-year-old Jermaine Williams is charged with culpable negligent manslaughter leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years on both counts.

Heâ€™s challenging young people to commit to those issues today to affect the society theyâ€™ll lead in a generation. Moses was among the participants Wednesday in a youth summit hosted by the Smithsonianâ€™s National Museum of American History. More than 400 students at a dozen museums in the U.S. watched the hour-long webcast in which Moses and others discussed Freedom Summer, the 1964 project that challenged segregation by pushing to register black Mississippi voters.

It’s lights out as winter storm slams Northeast Associated Press

Winter-weary residents of the Northeast contended with another dose of snow, sleet and freezing rain Wednesday. The second winter storm of the week canceled classes, closed government and business offices, and caused more than 1 million power outages across the region after wreaking similar havoc in the Midwest on Tuesday. The snow was expected to reach a foot or more in some places Wednesday. Combined with freezing rain and sleet, it made driving treacherous. The storm was the second goround for the Northeast since a good coating of snow fell Monday.

Pennsylvania Icy conditions knocked out power to about 750,000 customers in eastern and central Pennsylvania and caused school and legislative delays as well as speed reductions on major roadways. Falling trees became a hazard for motorists. The Pennsylvania Turnpike canceled a temporary speed limit of 45 mph and its ban on empty tractor-trailers. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation also dropped speed limits to 45 mph on a number of roads. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Administration re-

ported delays and some cancellations on suburban Philadelphia routes, while Amtrak suspended its Philadelphia-to-Harrisburg service because of downed trees on wires and along tracks.

New York New York state deployed more than 2,000 plows and other pieces of heavy equipment to keep roads clear during a storm that has forced the closure of one major highway and hundreds of schools upstate. Up to a foot of snow fell in some upstate areas, while lesser amounts and a coating of ice were expected in New York City. A 65-mile stretch of Interstate 84 between the Pennsylvania and Connecticut borders was closed to all vehicles.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declared a state of emergency and state offices were closed for non-essential employees, as the state got snow in northern parts, sleet and freezing rain in some areas, and all rain in southern counties. Tens of thousands of customers were without power, and schools were closed or delayed.

Airport tried to open runway before jet crash Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — An audio recording from the control tower at Birmingham’s airport shows workers were trying to reopen the main runway when a UPS cargo jet crashed while trying to land on an alternate runway, killing two pilots. The recording, posted on the Federal Aviation Administration’s website, shows an air traffic controller asked a Birmingham Airport Authority worker about reopening the runway less than two minutes before the Airbus A300-600 jet went down shortly before dawn Aug. 14. The main 12,000-foot runway was closed for maintenance at the time and the UPS aircraft crashed while attempting to land on a shorter 7,000-foot runway at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport that lacks the most advanced guidance equipment. The jet clipped trees and slammed into a hill less than a mile from the end of the runway. The recording shows a cargo jet from UPS competitor FedEx landed safely on the main runway just a few minutes after the crash. The recording will be part of the evidence as the National Transportation Safety Board conducts a hearing set for Feb. 20 in Washington to determine the cause of the crash. The main runway, which had a more complete guidance system, was closed for maintenance on its lights during the crash, which occurred about 15 minutes before the main runway was supposed to reopen. Pilots consider the approach to the shorter runway to be more tricky because of the lack of full instrumentation and a large hill at the end of the runway, but the NTSB has not indicated whether the runway’s configuration might have been a factor. On the audio recording, UPS First Officer Shanda Fanning is heard talking with an air traffic controller in the Birmingham tower about the aircraft’s

approach. The controller tells her the primary runway is still closed and asks if they want to land on Runway 18. “Yes sir, the localizer 18 will work,” Fanning says. About 45 seconds after he clears the UPS flight to land, the controller is heard asking an airport worker about getting the main runway back in operation. “Airport 12 are, uh, we, uh, on schedule to open back up at (5 a.m.)?” he asks. “Affirm, they’re very close to the end right now,” answers the airport worker, apparently speaking from a vehicle near the runway. Less than two minutes later, the airport worker calls back to the tower: “Tower, Airport 12. Did you see that?” The tower responds: “Airport 12, there’s a crash. UPS 1354 heavy crashed, uh, on the hill.” The pilot of a FedEx cargo jet that also was approaching the airport radioed in that he had reduced his speed. That aircraft landed safely on the main runway just moments after it reopened. The UPS wreckage was in flames by then, lighting up the sky on a drizzly morning. As airport vehicles rushed away from the central part of the field to the site, one worker struggled to understand what had happened. “Are we clear to go to our standby positions?” asked a worker from the fire unit at the Alabama Air National Guard installation. “The aircraft is not coming to the airport,” the controller answered. “So it’s already crashed?” asked the Guard worker. “Affirmative,” said the controller. Investigators from the NTSB have said they did not find any mechanical problems with the A300600, manufactured by Airbus. The NTSB has said the hearing later this month will review landing procedures, training, adherence to standard operating procedures and proficiency.

morning, with the heaviest volume during the rush-hour commute. The storm also snarled traffic in southern Michigan, including the Detroit area, with accidents reported in Grand Rapids and Saginaw. Two planes became stuck on taxiways at snowy Detroit Metropolitan Airport, requiring trucks to push or pull the Delta jets out of the snow.

Illinois A Chicago runner was credited with helping save a man who fell into icy Lake Michigan with his dog. Adam Dominik says he found twine and anchored it around himself while throwing the other end in the water, pulling the man onto nearby rocks. Meanwhile, a skier called 911. The man was taken to a hospital to be treated for severe hypothermia. He and his dog are expected to recover.

Ohio Most of Ohio was hit with another bout or heavy snow and freezing rain, closing hundreds schools and creating extremely hazardous driving conditions. Much of the state was slammed with 4 to 8 inches of snow overnight. Many counties declared snow emergencies. “I wish that groundhog

would have stayed in its hole,” said Geoff Dunn, who took the bus to his downtown Columbus office, avoiding the messy roads but still having to navigate snowy sidewalks. “Finding us six more weeks of winter was not the smart move.” The National Weather Service said most Ohio cities already have seen anywhere from 15 to 30 inches more snow than is normal at this stage of winter.

Rhode Island Nearly all schools in Rhode Island were closed. State Police responded to 16 accidents before 8:45 a.m., after which road conditions appeared to be improving, with snow turning to sleet and rain in some areas. The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority warned of delays.

Connecticut Connecticut’s governor and legislative leaders agreed to delay the start of the General Assembly’s annual session from Wednesday to Thursday because of snow. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy also ordered a delayed opening for state offices on Wednesday. Many schools were closed. Metro-North canceled and combined some trains on the New Haven Line.

Kansas

Gov. Sam Brownback ordered state offices in the Topeka area closed for a second consecutive day because of a winter storm. The Legislature also canceled all of its meetings Wednesday. Authorities blamed slick conditions for a two-car crash in southeast Kansas that killed two people, and said a third traffic fatality also appeared to be weatherrelated. The Kansas National Guard established nine teams that were prepared to assist motorists who were stranded or to transport medical and emergency personnel.

Kentucky Freezing rain and ice that moved through Kentucky overnight left thousands of people without power. According to the Public Service Commission, most of the outages were reported in Jefferson County, which had about 10,000 customers without power early Wednesday.

Gov. Deval Patrick told all non-essential state employees working in the executive branch to stay home.

Missouri A Southwest Airlines jet arriving from Denver got stuck in a snow bank Tuesday evening at Kansas City International Airport. A Southwest spokesman said all 55 passengers on Flight 305, a Boeing 737, were placed on buses and taken to the terminal.

Wisconsin Severe winter conditions caused officials to ask thousands of homeowners in far northern Wisconsin to leave their faucets running 24 hours a day to prevent water pipes and sewer lines from freezing.

Fatalities In Kansas, two traffic deaths Tuesday south of Pittsburg in Crawford County were blamed on the weather; a third, near Hesston, was believed weather related.

Massachusetts The snowstorm hit western portions of the state in the pre-dawn hours, leading Boston, Worcester and Springfield, among other cities, to close schools and ban street parking to prepare for snow removal.

Power outages Pennsylvania, 750,000; Maryland, 140,000; New Jersey, 62,000; Arkansas, 48,000; Kentucky, 10,000; New York, 8,000; Delaware, 6,000; Indiana, 2,500; Connecticut, 300.

States look to rein in NSA surveillance Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — Angry over revelations of National Security Agency surveillance and frustrated with what they consider outdated digital privacy laws, state lawmakers around the nation are proposing bills to curtail the powers of law enforcement to monitor and track citizens. Their efforts in at least 14 states are a direct message to the federal government: If you don’t take action to strengthen privacy, we will. “We need to stand up and protect our liberty,” said Republican Missouri state Sen. Rob Schaaf, author of a digital privacy bill. Police groups, however, say the moves will in some cases hinder efforts to deter or solve crimes. “It would cripple law enforcement’s ability to do investigations,” said Bart Johnson, executive director of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Proponents say the measures will overhaul the definition of digital privacy and help increase oversight of specific surveillance tools that law enforcement agencies have been using in the

states that critics say mirrors federal surveillance technology. The bills include a Colorado proposal that would limit the retention of images from license plate readers, an Oregon bill that would require “urgent circumstances” to obtain cellphone location data and a Delaware plan that increases privacy protections for text messages. Republican and Democratic lawmakers have joined in proposing the measures, reflecting the unusual mix of political partnerships that have arisen since the NSA revelations that began in May. Establishment leadership has generally favored the programs, while conservative limited government advocates and liberal privacy supporters have opposed them. Supporters say the measures are needed because technology has grown to the point that police can digitally track someone’s every move. Devices such as license plate readers and cellphone trackers “can tell whether you stayed in a motel that specializes in hourly rates, or you stopped at tavern that

has nude dancers,” said David Fidanque, director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon. “It’s one thing to know you haven’t violated the law, but it’s another thing to know you haven’t had every one of your moves tracked,” he said. As for digital privacy, bills promoting broader protections against email surveillance have popped up recently in various states with varying results. One proposal became law in Texas last year, but a similar measure was vetoed in California where the governor said it was too onerous for police to follow. But proposals focused specifically on police surveillance are a new variety. Schaaf’s proposal for a legislatively mandated ballot measure in Missouri would add electronic data to a list of property protected from unreasonable search and seizure. If it passes, it would go before voters in November. “The people in Missouri, if they get the chance to approve it, will send a message that other states can, and must, do the same thing,” Schaaf

said. “We can’t wait on Congress to pick up the banner.” In Indiana, legislators have put forward a bill that would ban the warrantless use of a portable device that can track cellphone movements within a mile, as well as the numbers of incoming and outgoing calls and text messages. Indiana lawmakers also want to use warrants to limit the use of tracking devices and surveillance cameras. “You could get to the point where you’re just tracking everyone’s car just for the fun of it,” said Republican Rep. Eric Koch. Clatsop County, Ore., District Attorney Josh Marquis said the legislators’ concerns are misplaced. He said state agencies aren’t collecting the kind of metadata the NSA collects and bills curtailing the ability of local authorities to gather intelligence could do more harm than good. Instead, local law enforcement agencies are using the technology to run surveillance on drug cartels or lure sex predators into online communication that leads to an arrest, Marquis said.

Spotlight on GM

Killer quarter?

General Motors’ latest quarterly earnings could provide insight into how the automaker sees sales shaping up this month. GM reported earlier this week that its sales in the U.S. fell 12 percent in January from a year earlier as frigid temperatures kept buyers away from car dealers. GM is due to deliver its fourth-quarter earnings today. Wall Street will be listening for hints as to how sales are faring in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Gamers strive to rack up kills in the blockbuster shooter video game “Call of Duty.” But has the franchise’s latest installment, “Call of Duty: Ghosts,” racked up strong sales for publisher Activision Blizzard since its November debut? Wall Street should find out today, when the company reports its fourth-quarter earnings.

Husband’s escort trysts betray wife WIZARD OF ID

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I recently found out that my husband has been calling escorts who advertise online. I am not sure whether he ever hooked up with any of them. I am just shocked that he is doing this and that it has been going on for quite some time. I feel stupid that it took me so long to pick up on it. It appears he and his buddies had this system going to cover for each other when they communicated with these women. And then he gives me a Christmas card that says how much he loves me. It’s as if he dumped 30 years of marriage down the gutter. It’s the same as cheating. Let this be a heads up to all the women out there: Check your husband’s cellphone bills. You may be surprised to find out who they are talking to. Staying in the marriage with this going on is not an option. Why am I the one to feel ashamed because of what he did? — Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: You feel ashamed because you think he made a fool of you. The man you loved and have been married to for so long was behaving in a way that shocked and humiliated you. He is the one who should be ashamed of being so disrespectful toward you and your mar-

Annie’s Mailbox riage. Dear Annie: Whenever we are at a party, especially during the holiday season, my usually responsible husband invariably drinks to excess. He gets loud and then louder. A jolly drunk, but still a drunk. I’m not a teetotaler, but I stop at one or two glasses. I get that I’m not responsible for my husband’s behavior, but it is both embarrassing and frightening. Who is this guy? When I express my concerns (the day after), he becomes petulant or surly. He promises to limit his drinking, but it doesn’t happen. We’ve been married for 43 years, and this behavior has developed only over the past few. Other than being the designated driver, how do I deal with my party animal? — His Wet Blanket Dear Wet Blanket: If this behavior is fairly recent, please suggest to your husband that he get a complete checkup. Ask to go with (so you can mention your concerns to the doctor). Most offices will also permit you to alert the doc-

tor by phone or letter. Another suggestion is to videotape his drunken behavior so he can see for himself how out of control he is. We hope it helps. Dear Annie: This is for “Waiting for Your Answer,” who complained about bank personnel chatting up the customers. When I was a bank teller in Miami, the Federal Banking Commission held a mandatory information workshop on how to prevent bank holdups. Two segments in particular apply to this issue. All greeters and tellers were instructed to: 1. Look the customer in the eye while greeting him/her. This will deter any motive other than banking. 2. Carry on a very brief, pleasant conversation while handling all transactions. This puts any intentioned robber ill at ease because they know you will be able to identify them. As customers depart, note the height chart that is always posted at the door. The greeter will be doing the same as the customer enters the bank. This helps personnel better describe the person. Remember that a brief, light conversation may help to protect you, your money and your fellow depositors. — A Safe Bank Teller
