old auditorium BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
KOSSUTH — The old auditorium on the Kossuth Elementary School campus was the showcase of hundreds of graduations, performances, award presentations and Christmas plays for more than 70 years. In 2010, the curtain was drawn on the final show inside the historic venue. Engineers said the building was unsafe, and school officials reacted by chaining the doors. Now Alcorn School District Superintendent Larry B. Mitchell wants to repair and reopen the auditorium for current and future Aggies to enjoy. Previously identified incorrectly as a gym, the audito-
rium was built in 1936 and includes a stage with around 650 seats. The building also includes several currently unused class rooms. Since 2010, KES has used a much smaller multipurpose building on campus for their auditorium needs. “It is extremely small — and, to be honest, there has never been enough room to hold all students, staff and parents at the same time,” said Mitchell. “It’s really ridiculous that the auditorium was shut down, because the trouble is more visual than structural.” Mitchell said the 2010 engineer’s report never said the building should be conPlease see AUDITORIUM | 6A

McNairy County audit raises concerns
Today in History
BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian
The Comptroller’s annual audit of McNairy County government includes 16 issues related to noncompliance, weaknesses and deficiencies in county government operations. Half of these audit findings were also noted in last year’s report but had not been corrected. The 16 findings for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 were spread across multiple county offices. Some of the issues auditors identified included problems with purchasing procedures, expenditures exceeding appropriations, cash overdrafts, and poor accounting. Additionally, the Highway/Public Works Fund required
Today is Sunday, Feb. 7, the 38th day of 2016. There are 328 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 7, 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized a flag for the office of the vice president.
On this date: In 1795, the 11th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, dealing with states’ sovereign immunity, was ratified. In 1857, a French court acquitted author Gustave Flaubert of obscenity for his serialized novel “Madame Bovary.” In 1931, aviator Amelia Earhart married publisher George P. Putnam in Noank, Connecticut. In 1948, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower resigned as Army chief of staff; he was succeeded by Gen. Omar Bradley. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy imposed a full trade embargo on Cuba. In 1965, during the Vietnam War, Viet Cong forces attacked Camp Holloway, a U.S. Army helicopter base near Pleiku, killing eight Americans and wounding more than 100 others. In 1974, the island nation of Grenada won independence from Britain. In 1984, space shuttle Challenger astronauts Bruce McCandless II and Robert L. Stewart went on the first untethered space walk, which lasted nearly six hours. In 1986, the Philippines held a presidential election marred by charges of fraud against the incumbent, Ferdinand E. Marcos. Haitian President-for-Life JeanClaude Duvalier fled his country, ending 28 years of his family’s rule. In 1991, Jean-Bertrand Aristide was inaugurated as the first democratically elected president of Haiti (he was overthrown by the military the following September). In 1999, Jordan’s King Hussein died of cancer at age 63; he was succeeded by his eldest son, Abdullah.
material audit adjustments totaling $192,262 in order to correct yearend financial statements. Comptroller auditors have included recommendations to correct each of the 16 problems. County leaders and managers have the responsibility to make the necessary changes. McNairy County’s Audit Committee can also help provide oversight and ensure that controls are in place to reduce risk. “The number of findings in this audit report are a clear indicator that certain areas of McNairy County government need improvement,” Comptroller Justin P. Wilson said. “I am also concerned that half of the problems noted in this year’s audit were also reported last
Police: Booneville man molested child BOONEVILLE — A Booneville man remains in jail on $1 million bond after being arrested on charges of statutory rape and child molestation. Luis Enrique AcostaEscobar, 31, of 301 Jacinto Road, Booneville, was arrested on the charges Jan. 27, said Police Chief Michael Ramey. The arrest stems from a complaint filed by the mother of a 10-year-old female. “During the investigation there was sufficient evidence that city investigators have charged him with these two charges,” Ramey said.
County road to get speed limit signage TISHOMINGO COUNTY – Speed limit signs will be posted on a rural county road thanks to a petition gathered by neighbors in the Crossroads Community of Tishomingo County.

way 25. Supervisors plan to post the signs, but without enforcement, they fear it will not help. Tishomingo County Sheriff Dennis Daugherty said he plans to have deputies in the area when possible, but said his department can’t issue tickets on a Mississippi Highway Patrol road.
Corinth Ryan’s open amid Tupelo closing TUPELO — Ovation Brands announced this week the closing of more than 70 restaurants nationwide. The Ryan’s buffet-style restaurant on North Gloster Street in Tupelo was one of the many locations the company shut down due to underperformance. Ryan’s on South Harper Road in Corinth, however, will remain open.
Special park ranger programs planned SHILOH, Tenn. — Shiloh National Military Park will offer several special interpretive programs in commemoration of African American Heritage Month 2016. These programs will focus on African Americans and their experiences during the Civil
War and their contributions to Shiloh National Military Park in the 1930s. These interpretive programs at Shiloh Battlefield will include: “From Slave to Soldier: The Life of Andrew Jackson Smith.” This program will tell the story of a man (born a slave in Kentucky) who witnessed the Battle of Shiloh, became a soldier in the Union army, and a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient. The 30 minute program will be presented under the oak tree on the Visitor Center front lawn, Friday, February 12th, and Friday February 26th at 2:00 pm. “The Civilian Conservation Corps at Shiloh.” A 30 minute presentation on the African American CCC camp at Shiloh Battlefield. This program will provide insight into the construction that was accomplished by these men at Shiloh and how their contributions supported our nation during the Great Depression. This presentation will take place at 2:00 pm, February 20th, in the Visitor Center auditorium. The programs being offered at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center include: “Fighting for Freedom:
African Americans at War.” This power point presentation will explore the role of African Americans in the United States military, from the American Revolution through President Truman’s Executive Order of 1947. The program will take place at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center at 6:00 pm on Thursday, February 11th. “First Steps of Freedom: Corinth Contraband Camp.” This 35 minute program will discuss the first steps to freedom made by inhabitants of the camp. It will be offered Saturday, February 13th, at 2:00 pm at the Corinth Contraband Camp site. The Shiloh and Corinth battlefields will also have temporary exhibits on display celebrating the African American experience in the area.
Highway 45 could get more stoplights BALDWYN — Several intersections on Highway 45 in Baldwyn may see the addition of traffic signals in the near future. The intersections of Highway 45 and Pratts Road and Highway 45 and County Road 2878 have seen three traffic
fatalities in the past five years, and according to MDOT district engineer Mark Holley, the intersections don’t have an above average rate of accidents, but since fatal accidents happen when there are accidents, the state had to work towards a solution. The important thing though was to make sure the data from traffic patterns was accurate to ensure the safety of drivers moving forward.
Old cotton compress to become museum PONTOTOC – According to reports, an old cotton compress building in Pontotoc will be converted into an outdoor museum. The other half of the building is to be renovated as money permits into a visitors bureau and community meetings facility. The original cotton press will be left to serve as an example of Pontotoc’s rich history. In all, some 30,000 square feet will be transformed into something which compliments the Tanglefoot Trail hub. The city has not yet finalized design plans for the building. The project remains in the early stage.

Our View
Think about fire safety We should always think safety this time of year when it comes to house fires. We say this because Alcorn County suffered its first tragic fire deaths of the year when a Rienzi couple was killed in a home blaze on Jan. 17. Alcorn County Emergency Services Coordinator Ricky Gibens stresses the best thing for all of us to do is to install smoke detectors in our homes. Because smoke detectors can save the lives of those we hold dear to our hearts - friends and family. Gibens recommends smoke detectors be placed near the kitchen, laundry room, all bedrooms and on every level of the home. According to the Red Cross, 60 percent of house fire deaths occur in homes with no working smoke alarms. Gibens also advises each family to come up with an escape plan should a fire happen and have a place to meet outside the house such as a mailbox. Should a fire occur, people are instructed to get out and do not go back into the burning house. Many people die when they go back into a burning home to rescue a pet or gather important papers. The biggest causes of fire inside the home are related to the kitchen and laundry room. Grease fires remain common. The use of space heaters has also led to multiple fires through the years. Make sure they are totally off or even unplug them. Home fires are preventable. The following are simple steps that can be done to prevent a tragedy. Cooking • Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove. • Wear short, close-fitting or tightly rolled sleeves when cooking. • Do not cook if you are sleepy, have been drinking alcohol, or have taken medicine that makes you drowsy. • Keep children away from cooking areas by enforcing a “kid-free zone” of 3 feet around the stove. • Position barbecue grills at least 10 feet away from siding and deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches. Smoking • If you smoke, smoke outside. Most home fires caused by smoking materials start inside the home. Put your cigarettes out in a can filled with sand. • Make sure cigarettes and ashes are out. The cigarette really needs to be completely stubbed out in an ashtray. Soak cigarette butts and ashes in water before throwing them away. Never toss hot cigarette butts or ashes in the trash can. • Check for cigarette butts. Chairs and sofas catch on fire fast and burn fast. Don’t put ashtrays on them. If people have been smoking in the home, check for cigarettes under cushions. • Never smoke in a home where oxygen is used, even if it is turned off. Oxygen can be explosive and makes fire burn hotter and faster. • Be alert – don’t smoke in bed! If you are sleepy, have been drinking, or have taken medicine that makes you drowsy, put your cigarette out first. Electrical and Appliance Safety • Frayed wires can cause fires. Replace all worn, old or damaged appliance cords immediately and do not run cords under rugs or furniture. • Buy electrical products evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL). • If an appliance has a three-prong plug, use it only in a three-slot outlet. Never force it to fit into a two-slot outlet or extension cord. • Use electrical extension cords wisely; never overload extension cords or wall sockets. • Immediately shut off, then professionally replace, light switches that are hot to the touch and lights that flicker. Portable Space Heaters • Keep combustible objects at least three feet away from portable heating devices. • Buy only heaters evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) • Check to make the portable heater has a thermostat control mechanism, and will switch off automatically if the heater falls over. • Check with your local fire department on the legality of kerosene heater use in your community. • Only use crystal clear K-1 kerosene in kerosene heaters. Never overfill it. Use the heater in a well-ventilated room. Fireplaces and Woodstoves • Inspect and clean woodstove pipes and chimneys annually and check monthly for damage or obstructions. • Never burn trash, paper, or green wood. • Use a fireplace screen heavy enough to stop rolling logs and big enough to cover the entire opening of the fireplace to catch flying sparks. • Make sure the fire is completely out before leaving the house or going to bed. • Store cooled ashes in a tightly sealed metal container outside the home.

Prayer for today Merciful Father, help me to know that my shadow cannot fall without me, and that my footprints cannot be found where I have never trodden.

One thing can keep Trump from victory They hate him; they really hate him. Donald Trump is not the golden boy he thought he was. He thought he could build an invincible campaign by combining media manipulation on one hand and nativist bigotry on the other. Rarely has a candidate quoted the polls as often as Trump. They showed him growing and growing in popularity, and he actually believed they were an unassailable revelation of the future. He not only believed in the polls; to him they were proof that his campaign of bigotry and intolerance was working. Americans must want Muslims banned from entering the country. They must want a wall to keep Mexicans out, and they must be nuts enough to believe Trump would get Mexico to pay for it. What’s the proof? The polls! They showed him winning Iowa handily, and Trump believed in them so much, he utterly rejected the notion that second place would be good enough. “Unless I win, I would consider this a big, fat, beautiful – and, by the way, a very expensive – waste of time,” he said. But he did not win. To use his term, he got schlonged. The loss was not huge in terms of numbers — he lost by 4 percentage points to Ted Cruz — but it was huge in terms of expectations. Trump had said second place was worthless. And now he found himself in second place. J. Ann Selzer, the most respected pollster in Iowa, wrongly predicted Trump would win, but afterward she had an interesting observation. In Iowa voters get to chat and argue with each other at the polling place before the voting begins. Iowa is a state of small towns, and
it is usually neighbors talking to neighbors, trying to persuade them to switch candidates. Selzer believes this helped doom Roger Trump. Simon “Trump’s unpopularity made it Columnist hard to convince anyone just leaning toward another candidate or undecided to move his way,” Selzer wrote. “Much easier for Rubio and Cruz to pick up votes in the room.” “Trump’s unpopularity”? Trump didn’t think he had any unpopularity. But now actual human beings are voting instead of just pollsters polling, and the truth is coming out: Trump is not quite the superstar he thinks he is. It appeared as if a new Trump had risen from the ashes of defeat: restrained. Contrite. And almost human. But, alas, totally phony. Not long after the new Trump was born, the old Trump took over. And he decided he lost not because of any personal failings or because of any political stands he took. No, Trump decided (as many in the press did, by the way) that he lost because he did not participate in the last debate in Iowa, deciding to hold his own rally for veterans instead. “I raised $6 million for the vets!” Trump boomed. “If I took a second place instead of a first place and could give the vets $6 million, I’ll do that all day long.” If so, why didn’t he just give $6 million to the vets? That is couchcushion money to Trump. He could have written a check for $6 million and gone to the last debate and won Iowa. At least in his mind.
(I really hope that some media outlet assigns a reporter to trace how much of the $6 million actually ends up in the hands of needy veterans, by the way.) At a rally in Milford, New Hampshire, on the day after his Iowa loss, the old Trump had taken final control. “Cruz was born in Canada,” Trump said for the umpteenth time. “He gets the nomination and (the Democrats) are going to sue his ass off!” There was one change in Trump, however. Even though the latest polls show him winning by an average 21.1 percentage points in New Hampshire, Trump is going to do something in New Hampshire that he didn’t do in Iowa. “I’m going to start spending a lot. ... I don’t want to take any chances,” he said. This means more TV ads getting Trump’s face and voice in front of Granite State voters. The risk, however, is that the more voters see and hear Trump, the less they will like him. In New Hampshire, the largest portion of voters is “undeclared.” They make up 44 percent of the electorate. And on election day next Tuesday, they can go to their polling place and ask for either a Democratic or Republican ballot. Will they vote as Democrats in order to make Bernie Sanders, of neighboring Vermont, a winner over Hillary Clinton? Or will they vote as Republicans in order to defeat Donald Trump? “We can no longer be the stupid country,” Trump said Tuesday. Exactly. And voting against him is a way to prove we are not.

No firewall for Clinton BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists
As Hillary Clinton underwhelms in Iowa, barely eking out of a tie with Bernie Sanders – a thought that would have been ridiculous six months ago – her supporters cling to the hope that she has a firewall in the later primaries due to her preponderance of support from African-American voters. While Sanders has been getting only 20 percent of the black vote in most polls, he recently jumped to 27 percent in the Jan. 24 Fox News poll. Even so, Clinton is on track to win an overwhelming portion of African-Americans. Sanders, who has jumped out to a big lead in New Hampshire, will likely emerge from the first two skirmishes confident and full of momentum. Then he’ll hit South Carolina, a state where Clinton’s African-American firewall will protect her and give her a big victory. But, after South Carolina, will the Clinton firewall hold? We’ll know on Super Tuesday (March 1) when the Democrats will select 1,101 delegates, 46 percent of the 2,382 needed to be nominated. The Super Tuesday states fall into three categories: 1. States where there is a large enough black vote to let Clinton dominate: Alabama (60 delegates), Virginia (110) and Georgia (116), for a total of 286 delegates. In these states the African-Ameri-

can proportion of the Democratic vote will likely top 1⁄3 and could go higher. 2. States where there are enough black voters to deliver certain congressional districts to Clinton, but not enough to control the vote throughout the state: 365 delegates in Texas (252), Tennessee (76 delegates) and Arkansas (37 delegates). Texas, for example, selects about 2⁄3 of its delegates by district and the remainder through statewide voting. African-Americans are only 12 percent of the Texas population and probably about 20 percent of the Democratic primary vote. That’s enough to sweep certain congressional districts, but not enough to dominate the state. 3. That leaves Alaska, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Vermont and Wyoming (a total of 417 delegates) where the black vote is negligible. So the solid black support for Clinton – should it continue – would deliver to her strong wins in Virginia, Georgia and Alabama for 286 delegates and partial success in Texas, Tennessee and Arkansas which account for 365 delegates among them but would have no important impact of 417 delegates. All this adds up to a Clinton plurality on March 1, but not the thumping sweep she would need to put the race away. Sanders will emerge from March 1, trailing but

still alive, kicking and vigorous. On March 5, 6 and 8, Kansas (37), Louisiana (58), Nebraska (30), Maine (30), Michigan (148) and Mississippi (41) select their delegates. Obviously, the Mississippi and Louisiana delegate selection will be dominated by the African-American vote giving Clinton the edge on their combined 99 delegates. In Michigan, the black population will likely deliver certain districts to her, but with a statewide black population of 14 percent, it is unlikely to control the entire process. And the remaining 97 delegates come from states with minimal black voters. The nomination will probably be decided on March 15 when Florida (246 delegates, 17 percent black), Illinois (182 delegates, 15 percent black), Missouri (84 delegates, 12 percent black), North Carolina (121 delegates, 22 percent black) and Ohio (159 delegates, 13 percent black) all vote. The winner-takeall states of Florida and Ohio will probably decide the nomination, but, to win these states, Clinton cannot depend on ethnicity to deliver the delegates. She has to win them on her own. (Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill.

States try to keep guns out of abusers’ hands Gun Violence in San Francisco. The National Rifle Association has taken a cautious approach toward such bills, opposing the farthest-reaching measures but staying neutral or negotiating compromises on others. For example, the NRA has fought provisions that would require people to surrender their guns before they have a chance to contest allegations made in a request for an emergency protective order. The push in the states is driven by stories of women and children killed or wounded by known abusers, and by statistics showing that hostile relationships often turn deadly when guns are present. An average of 760 Americans were killed with guns annually by spouses, ex-spouses or dating partners between 2006 and 2014, according to an Associated Press analysis of FBI and Florida data. “The system failed my son, and I am going to do whatever it takes to make sure it never happens to
Associated Press
IOWA CITY, Iowa — More than a dozen states have strengthened laws over the past two years to keep firearms out of the hands of domestic abusers, a rare area of consensus in the nation’s highly polarized debate over guns. Lawmakers and governors of both parties have supported bills stripping gun rights from those who have been convicted of domestic violence-related crimes or are subject to protective orders. The measures have been backed by victims’ advocates, law enforcement groups and gun control supporters who see easy access to firearms as a major contributor to domestic violence killings. Similar proposals are expected to be debated in several states this year. “Domestic violence is definitely an area where there is the most agreement between the gun lobby and gun-violence prevention advocates,� said Allison Anderman, staff attorney with the Law Center to Prevent
another child or another woman,� said Hollie Ayers, 44, a Pennsylvania woman whose 21⠄2-yearold son, Michael, was shot and killed in front of her by her abusive exhusband in 2013. “Michael’s life to me was priceless. If you can at least reduce the amount of homicides, this is a nobrainer to me.� Ayers, who was shot in the face and the leg, said she constantly thinks about her son, who loved tractors and puzzles. Her ex-husband killed himself after the rampage. Ayers had warned that he had guns and had said that he, his ex-wife and the child “would be better off dead� before she obtained a permanent protection-from-abuse order, court records show. But the judge did not order her ex-husband to surrender his weapons, even after he violated the protective order. Hollie Ayers is pushing for a Pennsylvania law that would require people to turn over their guns when judges issue protection orders against them.

Occupier hailed as Oregon standoff hero Associated Press
KANAB, Utah — Inside a packed Mormon church in this desert town Friday, a leader of the Oregon armed standoff who died in a confrontation with authorities was called a man of conviction and not a threat to the law enforcement officers who shot him. “My dad was murdered defending the liberties so that we may be free of bondage,� said Brittney Beck, a daughter of Robert “LaVoy� Finicum, who died Jan. 26 during a confrontation with FBI agents and Oregon state troopers. Finicum’s death on a remote Oregon road has become a symbol for those decrying federal oversight, on public lands in the West and elsewhere, and has led to protests of what they call an unnecessary use of force. But authorities say the 54-year-old was reaching for a gun during the confrontation. At the funeral, Finicum’s family drew on their faith and quoted scripture in describing
their father as a man of conviction and courage. One daughter, Thara Thenney, said her father was “defiled, mocked and eventually slain.� “He had never, not once, abandoned his trust in the Lord,� she said. A man in the funeral crowd shouted out “murder.� The funeral was held inside a Mormon church, but national leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints last month denounced the armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and said they were “deeply troubled� by reports the occupiers were using scriptural principles to justify it. Ammon Bundy — a Mormon and the main leader of the refuge occupation —has said he was following divine orders when he and his followers seized the refuge Jan. 2. Bundy demanded the government change federal land policies and free two ranchers imprisoned for setting fires.

LOS ANGELES — It was a total knockout for Michael B. Jordan at the NAACP Image Awards in a ceremony that took several jabs at Hollywood for the lack of racial diversity. The star of the boxing drama “Creed� was honored Friday as both the entertainer of the year and outstanding actor in a motion picture for his role as Apollo Creed’s son. “I used to sneak into the Image Awards, and now I’m standing here as the entertainer of the year, which is mind-blowing,� he said. “Straight Outta Compton,� which tells the story of the pioneering rap group N.W.A., picked up the outstanding motion picture prize. “I want to thank the NAACP for this because without you riding for us for the last 100 years, we would not be standing here,� director F. Gary Gray said. Image Awards host Anthony Anderson kicked off the ceremony by invoking N.W.A. for a rap about the lack of racial diversity at other awards shows. The “black-ish� star donned a gold chain and a baseball cap with the words “Nominees With Attitude� to sing about such snubs as “Beasts of No Nation� and Jordan at the Academy Awards.

These beams were included in the 2010 report as showing signs of “bowing.� Mitchell said the metal plates will fix that issue. “It’s really a sound structure now,

Mitchell is also excited about the small cost associated with getting the building up to par. “It should cost the district around $600 to $1,000,� he said. “We plan on using district maintenance men to do the work, and not hire any outside crews.� Newcomb Engineering, along with one other engineering firm, will sign off on the auditorium before it is declared ready to use again.

Cuomo aims to end conversion therapy NEW YORK — New York is taking steps to stop therapists from trying to change young people’s sexual orientation, joining a number of states that have taken action against what’s known as “gay conversion� therapy. Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced plans for new regulations Saturday. They will bar New York insurers from covering the therapy for minors and will prohibit mental health facilities under state jurisdiction from offering it to minors. It’s not immediately clear how many insurers or facilities statewide provide the coverage or therapy now. States including California, New Jersey and Illinois have banned conversion therapy. But efforts to ban it have failed in other states, including Colorado.
Dozens flock to get free Sanders tattoo MONTPELIER, Vt. — Fans of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are wearing their support for him on their sleeves — and on their rib cages, calves, necks and backs. Several dozen people have flocked to Aartistic Tattoo in Montpelier, Vermont, to get a free tattoo of the senator, complete with his unkempt hair and thickrimmed glasses. The Burlington Free Press reports that the promotion began a week ago. Tattoo artist Chad Fay says it will run as long as Sanders does.
Tattoo artist Jessica Andrew tells the newspaper she inked Sanders’ image on eight people in two days. Fay says he’s done at least 15 tattoos of Sanders in the past week.
1 dead, 7 injured in shooting at club TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa police say a shooting at a strip club has left one person dead and seven others injured. Lt. Ruth Cate said early Saturday that one person among those shot at Club Rayne was confirmed as being dead at the scene. She said in addition to the six injured police initially knew about, another person drove to a hospital separately. Police said the 911 call about gunshots came about 2 a.m. Cate said detectives on the scene were investigating what spurred the gunfire. Authorities said all the victims were believed to have suffered gunshot wounds, but the nature and extent of their injuries weren’t available. Reached by phone at the club, owner Roberto Mederos declined to comment. Cate said she couldn’t say when the club might reopen.

for public officials who block people from owning or buying guns. The four-page bill devotes a page to quotes on gun ownership purportedly from the men who created the U.S. Constitution. Researchers say at least three of the quotes used in the bill and attributed to Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and Alexander Hamilton were not said or written by them. A staffer speaking on Shea’s behalf said on Friday that Shea is “happy to amend the legislation, if necessary, to ensure it includes only accurate information.�

WJAR-TV reported that the council debated the fallout from the January stunt. The Cranston Senior Center’s van driver posed as a woman for an event about a snow shoveling program. Senior services director Sue Stenhouse resigned soon after. Few details have been divulged since then. But some mostly Democratic council members want more answers from Republican Mayor Allan Fung. Some mainly Republican council members say the case has been closed. Councilman Donald Blotts says it doesn’t make a difference whether the senior services director resigned on her own or the mayor asked for her resignation.

Commercial flights returning to Tupelo TUPELO — The final pieces are coming together for commercial air service to start again in Tupelo, five months after the last carrier left. Corporate Flight Management, based in Smyrna, Tennessee, is set to begin its TupeloNashville connection late next month. CEO Matt Chaifetz tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal ticket sales will begin in late February. “We are on track for a start in late March, we’re on track to begin ticket sales in late February,� said Matt Chaifetz. “We want to give ourselves a 30-day head-start of leadtime on ticket sales.� Chaifetz said a name has been selected for the airline - it won’t be Corporate Flight Management - but said it will be revealed when the company officially rolls out its new website. A schedule also is being finalized, with five flights daily on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; four flights on Tuesday; three flights on Saturday and four flights on Sunday.
$3 million in meth found in traffic stop JACKSON — The Hinds County Sheriff’s Department says a traffic stop Wednesday resulted in one of the largest interdiction seizure of methamphetamine — reportedly valued at $3 million — in state history. Officials said in a news release that the discovery was made by a Hinds County K-9 unit after a 2015 Toyota Corolla was stopped near Interstate 55 for careless driving.
Authorities said two men inside the vehicle told law enforcement they had traveled to Jackson from Atlanta to visit friends. According to the sheriff’s department, the vehicle was searched with the occupants’ consent. During the search, 30 kilograms of methamphetamine was found.
3 former firefighters charged with arson BAY ST. LOUIS — Three of the six former Hancock County firefighters have been indicted by a grand jury on arson charges after a string of suspicious fires in 2014 and early 2015. The Sun Herald reported that those indicted Tuesday included 28-year-old Crystal Lynn Mooneyhan, of Bay St. Louis; 26-year-old Michael Spencer Smith, of Bay St. Louis; and 28-year-old Marie Gill, of Gulfport, were members of the Clermont Harbor Volunteer Fire Department when the fires occurred. Mooneyhan and Smith each face one count of arson of woods/marsh. Gill faces first-degree arson and evidence tampering, and five counts of arson of woods/marsh. At the time of the arrests, Hancock County sheriff’s investigator A.J. Gambino said the firefighters were part of “some sort of fire club or fire cult.�
Girlfriend suspected in parolee’s escape JACKSON — The Mississippi Department of Corrections is now seeking the girlfriend of parolee Michael Lester Morgan as an accomplice in his escape this week. The department, in a
news release Friday, said Kimberly M. Sellars is wanted on a charge of aiding and abetting. She is believed to be traveling with Morgan, who escaped the Rankin County Probation and Parole Office in Pearl after a revocation hearing Thursday related to his Dec. 3 arrest in Hinds County. Morgan was on parole for charges of possession of a stolen firearm, a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, violation of traffic ordinances, and possession of a controlled substance. The two may be traveling in a 2012 four-door Acura sedan with the license plate “Breast Cancer Awareness Tag #1F19BA.�
VA leader supports embattled official JACKSON — The secretary of veterans affairs says he stands by his appointment of a regional health care executive who was accused of misleading Congress about how long veterans waited to receive care in California. Secretary Robert McDonald says he has “absolute confidence� in Skye McDougall to oversee veterans’ hospitals in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Oklahoma. McDonald and McDougall spoke to veterans Friday during a public meeting at a VA medical center in Jackson, Mississippi. The entire congressional delegation from Mississippi and most of the delegation from Louisiana publicly opposed his appointment of McDougall. Critics say she gave false testimony to Congress about the length of waiting times VA facilities she oversaw in southern California.

getting to a shop,” said Gardner. “Then, when it does break down, it’s usually because routine maintenance hadn’t been done. We’ve come up with an idea to come to your house and change the oil and inspect it and do all of the service work at your house instead of you having to load it and carry it to a dealership or shop.” Seasonal demand can make for a long wait at the shops during the summertime, he said. Part of the Gardner grocery family, he decided to branch out and try
some new things in 2000. He had the landscaping business until 2010. Out of necessity, he learned small engine repair. Also, “I’ve been on the water my whole life,” he said. “I’m very comfortable working on marine engines.” After maintaining lawns for years, he knows well the importance of keeping mower blades sharp. “It keeps your grass from getting disease, and it’s a lot better on your mower, easier on the engines and the belts and the
pulleys,” said Gardner. “If blades get too worn out, they spin too fast and the belts may jump off.” Most mowers need the oil changed at 50 to 60 hours of use. “For a homeowner, that is typically about one season,” he said. “For a commercial cutter, that’s about a week.” OnSite also offers winterization of boats and personal watercraft, pressure cleaning and monthly blade sharpening service.

Super Bowl advertisers go for the safety BY MAE ANDERSON

AP Business Writer
NEW YORK — Talking animals, celebrity cameos and crowd-pleasing rock songs: This year’s Super Bowl advertisers are sticking to the classics in their efforts to win over Big Game viewers on Sunday. Skittles will showcase Steven Tyler’s high range on “Dream On,” Budweiser is enlisting Helen Mirren to chide drunk drivers, and Audi will have an astronaut drive its luxury R8 sports car to the tune of David Bowie’s “Starman,” to note just a few of the ads that have garnered pre-game buzz. (Many advertisers release their spots online ahead of the game.) The Super Bowl is advertising’s biggest stage, and each year brands battle to stand out among the 40-plus commercials that air during the game. The goal is to rivet the expected 114 million people expected to tune into the game, in which the Denver Broncos will take on the Carolina Panthers. Marketers also hope to
dominate online chatter during the game and reallife talk in the office on Monday. But there’s a fine line between standing out and risking offense, and this year, the Super Bowl advertisers are going for the safety. Movie and rock stars, anthemic songs and cute animals are in. Sitting it out on the sidelines? Raciness, “bro” humor and anything remotely edgy. Here’s a look at the biggest trends emerging from the Super Bowl ads released ahead of the game.
Celebs galore This year, with ads costing up to a record $5 million, dozens of advertisers have enlisted celebrities to get their brand message across. A trade group for Mexican avocados signed up Scott Baio to appear in a fictional alien history exhibit about humans in the 1980s. Snickers brings us Willem Defoe as a hungry Marilyn Monroe. Six celebrities such as Harvey Keitel
and Serena Williams appear to praise the BMW Mini Clubman as a “chick car” and urge people to “defy labels.” Christopher Walken compares the Kia Optima sedan to wearing colorful socks.
Service messages Anheuser-Busch, traditionally the biggest advertiser on the Super Bowl, has tapped Helen Mirren to stringently call out drunk drivers for being “pillocks” (British slang for idiots). ColgatePalmolive is running a spot urging people to save water by turning off the tap when they brush their teeth. The NFL is back with a domestic abuse message for the second year with a somber ad that shows how texting can convey signs of domestic abuse. Even Axe, known for its racy ads aimed at teenage boys, is going for a mature message that urges millennials to focus on what makes them unique rather than traditional status symbols. The tag-
line is “Find Your Magic.”

NEW YORK — As daily fantasy sports websites face increased legal scrutiny, the world’s biggest credit-card lender is blocking transactions by New York residents on the country’s two biggest sites. The New York Times reports Citigroup Inc. says it will start blocking debit and credit card payments on New York-based FanDuel and Boston-based DraftKings. Citigroup says it will block the payments until
New York courts rule on the legality of daily fantasy sports. In January, the state Supreme Court Appellate Division in Manhattan ruled that the sites can continue operating while they appeal a judge’s order that they stop play in the state. The companies say their contests are games of skill, not chance, and should not be considered illegal gambling operations. Bloomberg first reported the move by Citigroup to block transactions.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian The Daily Corinthian’s family of magazines continues with the Crossroads Magazine 2016 Medical Guide helping you get healthy and live better. Don’t miss it in the Saturday, Feb. 27, edition of the Daily Corinthian.
Grown-up child still wonders what halted parents’ divorce DEAR ABBY: During my childhood, my parents fought loudly and often. When I was 12, they spoke to my sister and me about getting a divorce. I was heartbroken and fought back. Like any kid in that situation, I was upset and Abigail scared. I told they Van Buren them were being selfish and Dear Abby irresponsible for breaking up our family when they were the ones who chose to have children in the first place. They ended up staying together and never mentioned the D-word again. It’s 15 years later; they have now been married for 40 years. When I’m around, I still hear them squabble, but nothing like when I was young. They obviously care about one another. As an adult, I am plagued by guilt. Had I been older and wiser when they first contemplated divorce, I would have agreed that they were probably not a good match, and told them to do whatever they needed to be happy. Did I do the wrong thing when I
was young? Should I say something now or leave well enough alone? I feel I may have kept my parents in a loveless relationship, and while I’m happy they’re still together, I can’t help but wonder if I should have kept my mouth shut. I’d appreciate your opinion. -- REMORSEFUL IN THE SOUTH DEAR REMORSEFUL: What you said when you were 12 may have affected your parents’ decision about divorcing, but it was not the deciding factor. It may have slowed them down and made them think that as long as their children were minors, they should make a greater effort to keep the family intact. By the time you became an adult nine years ago they appear to have made peace and patched up their major differences. As you stated, “They obviously care about one another.” Because you carry feelings of guilt over this, if you feel comfortable enough to do so, talk to your parents about it. If not, then discuss it with a counselor because blaming yourself for reacting as any 12-year-old would is wrong. DEAR ABBY: I am a single parent of four children ages 5 to 13. I want to go back to school to better myself and make a better life for them because I am
raising them on my own. I keep putting off going back because something always comes up. I’m afraid if I keep this up, then I’ll never do it and will live with regret for the rest of my life. I don’t have a stable support system, and I work full time, so I’m also worried about having no time for my children, although I hardly have any now. Most days I feel like a bad parent and want to cry. What would you recommend I do? Can you help me push myself? -- WANTS NO REGRETS DEAR WANTS NO REGRETS: Set goals for yourself. Explore career counseling at your nearest community college and ask for guidance about child care options. When you do, ask if you can take one or two classes a semester, rather than a full course load, and if any of the classes you need are held online. That way, you won’t be spending a lot of time away from your children, and at the same time you’ll be setting an example for them to follow about the importance of education. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Just as a good party host knows that the time printed on the invitation has little to do with the time the party actually starts, you realize that theoretical plans often don’t reflect reality. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Maybe you’re giving someone more credit than is deserved. Even so, you’d rather err on the side of generosity than fail to appreciate those who have contributed to your success and well-being. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The issue at hand is a matter of taste. Therefore, you cannot be wrong or right, and neither can anyone else. You will be tolerant and kind in hearing the other person’s preference, and you will be afforded the same respect. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you don’t know what to do next, just ask your higher mind for the answer and sit quietly a few minutes. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to spark your inner wisdom, which really only needs an invitation.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The limits are not keeping you from your joy. In fact, without limits there is far less joy to be had. Boundaries and rules keep some things sacred and special. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know that you can get swept up in the moment at times. That scares the kind of people who have trouble living in the present. “Men who never get carried away should be.” -Malcolm Forbes LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re trying to fix what’s broken. But as you try to isolate one problem, you’ll realize that nothing stands alone. Each thing seems knitted to the next thing. Love is the great remedy that will solve this all. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Ambition and greed are parts of human nature that some have to fight with more than others. You’re immune to these sins now. There’s nowhere you need to be that’s worth compromising your values to get there. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You find at least five ways to pay your respects today and each way works better than the last. Your deference, the effort you put into a relationship, your manner of communication: It will all make the intended impact. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You give, move forward, give more and move forward again. The trick is in finding something to give that is so well-matched to your talents that it’s relatively effortless to you while being extremely valuable to others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You could make people follow you if you wanted to. You’re certainly powerful enough! And yet, that’s just not your style. You make people want to follow you -- now that’s leadership. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Perfectionism isn’t necessarily an attractive quality. Consider that needing to be perfect is rooted in the fear of getting things wrong. Perfection is something the truly confident don’t fret too much over.

Denver brings dominant defense into Super Bowl 50 BY ARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football Writer
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Peyton Manning wanted to make one thing perfectly clear when he arrived in the Golden Gate City for the golden anniversary of the Super Bowl: “Our defense is what got us here.” Von Miller, Chris Harris Jr., Derek Wolfe, all sideline spectators last time, leading the way. His boss, John Elway, said something similar 17 years ago before riding off into that orange sunset with a second Super Bowl ring. Manning can do the same Sunday if he musters one more magical performance out of his
39-year-old body and that quick mind. Two years ago, Manning brought along the league’s top offense — in fact, the highest-scoring team in NFL history — and things didn’t work out. This time, he’s tagging along with the league’s No. 1 defense. The “Orange Rush” finished first in the NFL in sacks, yards per play, pass defense and total defense. But to earn their place atop or even alongside the ‘85 Bears or ‘00 Ravens, Denver’s fearsome frontseven and star-studded secondary will have to corral Cam Newton and beat the favored Carolina Panthers. “We got goal
boards in our locker room and we see everything that we’ve done this year,” cornerback Aqib Talib said. “But everything will be forgotten by next season if we don’t come home with that trophy. So, the most important stat is winn They’re very capable of doing just that. This is a defense that knocked Aaron Rodgers silly, limiting him to 77 yards in the worst game of his career, sent Andrew Luck into the hospital and ushered Tom Brady into the offseason with a 23-hit beat-down. The players say that it’s hard for them to study film of how other defenses
played the Panthers. “Nobody’s really playing like how we play and it makes it kind of hard to watch the film because you see these other teams and they’re not as good. They’re nowhere close,” Harris said. “They have a great offense, so it’s going to be a tough battle. But I don’t think they’ve seen anybody with the speed we have.” What the Broncos (14-4) need to do is keep things close and not let the Panthers (17-1) get off to a fast start — they’ve outscored their opponents 55-7 in the first half in the playoffs. Denver knows how a punch to the gut can ruin
great game plans. The Broncos were illprepared for the noise and the nerves two years ago, as the first snap sailed into the end zone for a safety 12 seconds into the Super Bowl. Denver never recovered in a 35-point shellacking by the Seahawks that prompted Elway to spend more than $100 million to sign DeMarcus Ware, T.J. Ward and Talib, then draft cornerback Bradley Roby and linebacker Shane Ray. Even-keeled Gary Kubiak pumped up the jams at practice to prepare for noise. “The goal is don’t let them get off to a fast start. Let it be a boxing match,
let them keep punching back and forth,” running back C.J. Anderson said. Should the Broncos find themselves behind, though, they’re not going to freak out, Anderson said. They’re the only team in NFL history to overcome two-touchdown deficits to beat three playoff-bound teams in a season. “Every time we turn on the TV people are just talking about how we’re going to get dogged this game, we’re going to get blown out,” Harris said with a laugh. “We love that, it just makes us hungrier.” Prediction: Denver 24, Carolina 14.
Panthers too good, versatile for Broncos’ No. 1 defense BY STEVE REED AP Sports Writer
SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Denver Broncos and their top defense haven’t seen anything quite like Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers, the No. 1 scoring offense in the league. The Panthers (17-1) are on a roll, jumping on playoff opponents early. The primary question on Sunday might not be whether they’ll win the franchise’s first Vince Lombardi Trophy, but if they’ll hand the Broncos another Super Bowl blowout. “I think it’s his moment,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said of Newton, “as well as it’s our moment,” Although Broncos defensive end DeMarcus
Ware said he’s “not really worried about (Carolina’s) offense,” the potential is there for this one to get away, especially if the Panthers get off to another hot start like they have in their two previous postseason games and force Peyton Manning to become onedimensional. The Panthers have feasted on pocket passers all season, the latest example being Carson Palmer, who committed six turnovers in Carolina’s 49-15 win over Arizona in the NFC championship. Carolina’s defense, which led the league in takeaways, quickly shifts from good to great when the offense gives them a lead. They have nine take-
aways and eight sacks in the postseason. Luke Kuechly, one of three All-Pro players on defense, has two interception returns for touchdowns in the playoffs. But the trigger for Carolina is establishing the running game. “Mike Tolbert and Stew (Jonathan Stewart) make their play-action game go,” said Broncos defensive back T.J. Ward. “So if we stop the run, we stop the beginning of what they do, that helps the rest of their offense.” That’s a good plan, but executing it has proven to be a little more difficult. The Panthers have run for at least 100 yards in 31 straight games, including
the playoffs. To put that in perspective, no other team has a streak longer than six games. Newton is a big part of that, rushing for 636 yards and 10 touchdowns, tying Steve Young’s record for career TDs by a quarterback. The game’s most versatile player, Newton shattered the myth that he’s just a running quarterback long ago. But he’s taken his passing to a whole different level this season, improving his accuracy and throwing for a career-high 35 touchdowns. He’s been lights out in the red zone, throwing 24 touchdowns with no interceptions. “He’s like a combination
of two quarterbacks that were great quarterbacks in this league,” said Broncos defensive end Antonio Smith. “He’s got the escape ability of a Michael Vick and a body frame like Ben Roethlisberger where people are bouncing off of you left and right.” Carolina’s passing game ranks near the bottom of the league, but that’s more a reflection of the team’s balance on offense. The Panthers are the only team that runs the ball more than they throw it. “Cam transitioned this year where he’s not going anywhere until he has to,” said Young. “It’s a whole mindset that the mastery of the pocket, the mastery of the data. Now he can
enter in and say I don’t need to run. I can. I can run over you. But I don’t have to. I think he’s starting to see just the possibilities of what you can do from the pocket.” The Panthers may be a small market team and unfamiliar to some, but make no doubt it — they’re no fluke. They’ve won 22 of their last 24 games, including a 3-1 mark in the post season. In those 24 games Carolina has outscored its opponent by a whopping margin of 735-427 — or by an average score of 31-18. So why not play the odds? Prediction: Panthers 31, Broncos 18.

Moody, Ole Miss top Vandy No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 2 N.C. fall Associated Press
OXFORD — Stefan Moody scored 23 points and ignited a decisive 21-5 run midway through the second half Saturday night as Mississippi defeated Vanderbilt 85-78. Ole Miss (15-8, 5-5 Southeastern Conference) placed four players in double figures, led by Moody, who added four assists. Tomasz Gielo scored 16 points, Rasheed Brooks added 15 and Marcanvis Hymon had 13 points as the Rebels won for the third time in four starts. Luke Kornet led Vanderbilt (13-10, 5-5) with 20 points, including nine in the opening four minutes. Wade Baldwin IV and Nolan Cressler added 19 and 14 points for the Commodores, respectively. Vanderbilt led by as many as 11 points in the first half and 39-37 at halftime. Ole Miss erased a 50-47 deficit with the decisive run and never trailed again. Martavious Newby and Moody converted six consecutive free throws in the final 15
seconds to seal it. Ole Miss finished 24 of 67 (36 percent) from the field, while Vanderbilt shot 26 of 57 (46 percent). The Rebels had a decisive edge at the free-throw line, hitting 27 of 38 (71 percent), while Vanderbilt managed only17 of 27 (63 percent). The frustrating loss for the Commodores came on what had been a season-defining turnaround. The Commodores had won five of the previous seven games, including a 77-60 win over No. 8 Texas A&M after starting 0-3 in SEC play. Ole Miss won for the third time in four games, despite being limited by injuries that have sidelined three starters over an eightgame period. Forward Sebastian Saiz has missed the entire stretch, recovering from eye surgery. Guards Newby (eye injury) and Moody (groin) missed significant playing time in four games, but played 28 and 39 minutes, respectively against the Commodores.
Tip-ins

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Wesley Iwundu scored 22 points, and Kansas State upset top-ranked Oklahoma 80-69 on Saturday night to shake up the Big 12 race once again. Freshman reserve Dean Wade had 17 points for the Wildcats (14-9, 3-7), who snapped the Sooners’ fourgame win streak by holding in check player of the year front-runner Buddy Hield. The high-scoring guard had 23 points, but a big chunk came in the final minutes, when the Sooners (19-3, 7-3) were desperately trying to rally against a team that wouldn’t budge an inch. It was Kansas State’s first victory against a No. 1 team since topping Kansas on
Feb. 11, 2011. No. 2 North Carolina also lost, falling 80-76 at Notre Dame. According to STATS, it was the first time the top two teams in the country lost to unranked schools on the same day since Jan. 21, 2006, when No. 1 Duke lost to Georgetown and No. 2 Florida was defeated by Tennessee.
NOTRE DAME 80, NO. 2 NORTH CAROLINA 76 SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Demetrius Jackson scored 19 points, helping Notre Dame rally for the win. It was the second straight loss for the Tar Heels (19-4, 8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), and Fighting Irish fans celebrated by gathering on the court.
Lady Bobcats end losing skid Blakeney’s 31 points leads LSU past Bulldogs BY JEFF YORK
For Daily Corinthian
BY BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer
BATON ROUGE, La. — Antonio Blakeney scored a career-high 31 points, and LSU moved into sole possession of first place in the Southeastern Conference with an 88-77 victory over struggling Mississippi State on Saturday night. Blakeney, a freshman whose previous singlegame high was 22 points, hit 11 of 17 shots, including four 3-pointers. It was easily Blakeney’s best outing against a team from a major conference and exactly what LSU (15-8, 8-2) expected when it recruited last season’s Florida high school player of the year. Keith Hornsby scored 25 points for LSU, while Ben Simmons added 16 points and nine rebounds. Gavin Ware scored 14 for Mississippi State (913, 2-8), which led by as many as 14 points in the first half. But the Bulldogs trailed at halftime and struggled to keep pace after that. LSU led by as many as 20 in the second half when Blakeney’s jumper, which gave him seven points during a 14-3 Tigers run, made it 67-47 with 11:28 to go. MSU never got closer than 11 points after that
and fell for the third time in four games. Quinndary Weatherspoon, Craig Sword and Malik Newman each scored 12 for Mississippi State, while Fred Thomas added 10 points. But LSU shot 65.5 percent (19 of 29) in the second half, making it exceedingly difficult for the Bulldogs to catch up even as they shot 50 percent (16 of 32) during the final 20 minutes. Sword made a pair of early 3s as MSU opened the game on an 8-0 run. The Bulldogs hit 8 of their first 13 shots, including 3 3s, while taking its largest lead at 22-8 lead. At that point, LSU had hit only three of its first 11 shots, but began to close the gap when Blakeney made a pair of 3s and Hornsby added another. Simmons’ free throws got the Tigers as close as 25-24 before Weatherspoon’s consecutive 3s helped MSU briefly pull away again. LSU didn’t take its first lead of the game until Craig Victor turned his steal from Weatherspoon into breakaway layup, putting the Tigers up 3433 with less than four minutes left in the opening half. The Tigers wound up outscoring MSU 16-2
during the final 5:33 of the half, highlighted by Hornsby’s transition 3, which was set up by Simmons’ hard, no-look pass. Hornsby and Blakeney each had 15 points by halftime, when LSU led 43-35.
Tip-ins Mississippi State: Newman, who entered the game with 52 3-pointers this season, missed all four of his attempts from long range against LSU. ... Ware’s point total moved him nine points past Eric Dampier as Mississippi State’s 22nd all-time scorer. LSU: The Tigers have won four straight in the series. ... LSU improved to 5-0 at home in SEC games. ... LSU improved to 8-1 when shooting better than 50 percent. ... Blakeney’s previous single-game scoring high of 22 came twice before against South Alabama and McNeese State in November.

Thornwell, No. 25 South Carolina outscore No. 8 Texas A&M, 81-78 Associated Press
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — A big day from long range kept Sindarius Thornwell and No. 25 South Carolina in the mix for the Southeastern Conference title. Thornwell had 25 points and nine assists, and the Gamecocks made a season-high 12 3-pointers on their way to an 81-78 victory over No. 8 Texas A&M 81-78 on Saturday. “Last year,” a smiling Thornwell said, “this is the type of game that we would have blown.” Michael Carrera scored 20 points on 6-for-6 shooting, helping South Carolina (20-3, 7-3) bounce back from a 69-56 loss at Georgia on Tuesday. Mindaugus Kacinas finished with 11 points. Carrera made five 3s, and Thornwell was 4 for 8 from long range. “I’m real proud of our guys, because we hadn’t shot the ball well on the road in a while,” coach Frank Martin said. “We’ve taken good shots, just on the road they haven’t gone in.” South Carolina, Texas A&M and Kentucky are
tied for second in the SEC, one game back of LSU. The Gamecocks host the Tigers on Wednesday night. “We have to build on what we did today,” Martin said when asked about the jumbled SEC race. “These kids practice hard and believe in each other. We can’t worry about whenever the regular season ends. We have to stay in the moment.” Danuel House and Alex Caruso had 16 points apiece for Texas A&M (185, 7-3), which has lost two in a row and three of four. Jalen Jones scored 14 points in the Aggies’ first home loss of the season. “Besides (the Gamecocks) making as many 3-pointers as they did, everything else they did was expected,” Caruso said. “We game-planned to what they do, they just made more shots.” South Carolina had an 80-78 lead when Carrera was fouled with 17 seconds remaining. He missed the first free throw and made the second, and House then missed a long 3-pointer from the left side with 8 seconds to go.
After the ball went out of bounds off A&M in a tussle for the rebound, South Carolina’s Laimonas Chatkevicius threw the ball out of bounds on an attempted inbounds with 5 seconds remaining. But A&M turned it over and South Carolina held on. “We had a hard time guarding them, and getting the stops we needed to beat them,” Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy said. The game was tied at 70 when South Carolina’s PJ Dozier drove the right baseline and hit a soft jumper with 4:58 remaining. Following a missed 3-point attempt by A&M point guard Anthony Collins, Carrera drilled a 3 to make it 75-70 at the 4:16 mark. Thornwell then scored four straight points to make it a ninepoint lead with 2:24 remaining.

SELMER, Tenn. — McNairy Central snapped a five-game losing streak in the Roundhouse by beating Fayette-Ware 6352 on Friday in the Lady Bobcats last home game of the season. The Lady Bobcats (815, 2-7) had not won a home game since beating Carroll Academy on Jan. 6. Junior Selika McCord was prolific in the paint scoring 23 points to pace the Lady Bobcats. Madi Rose Hammock capped off her home career by scoring 11 points and Alexis Trice contributed 11. The game was a foul
fest with over 50 fouls called by the whistle-happy officials. The constant parade to the free throw line resulted in a game that took almost 100 minutes to play. McNairy outscored the Lady Wildcats 19-10 in the first quarter. The Lady Bobcats carried a 34-30 lead into halftime. Fayette-Ware sophomore Courteisha Jackson kept her team in the game by scoring 17 points in the first half and she finished with a game-high 25 points.

Louisville rolls past BC BY GARY B. GRAVES AP Sports Writer
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Motivated to move on from its postseason ban, No. 19 Louisville dominated Boston College from start to finish. The veteran leadership of Trey Lewis helped the Cardinals put away the Eagles. Lewis scored 16 points and Deng Adel added 13 as Louisville routed Boston College 79-47 on Saturday, a day after the school imposed a postseason ban for recruiting violations. The Cardinals (19-4, 8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) followed up Monday’s upset of No. 2 North Carolina with a lopsided win despite uneven stretches just after halftime. The absence of leading scorer Damion Lee (bruised knee) impacted their rotation, but plenty of teammates stepped up to fill the void in an emotional game. “I was tearing up after the national anthem,” Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. “It was very emotionally draining for all of us. But we got through it, we got a win. Now we move on.” Several baskets by Lewis midway through the second half helped spark a 10-0 run that gave Louisville a comfortable lead en route to keeping the Eagles (7-16, 0-10) winless in league play. “It was very emotional,” said Lewis, who made all nine free throws along with 3 of 6 shooting. “I’d never been involved in anything like that before. We wanted to come out and play well.” The Cardinals succeeded by making 16 of 26 from the field after intermission
to finish at 51 percent. They controlled the paint 44-20, outrebounded Boston College 38-30 and forced 18 turnovers. Sammy Barnes-Thompkins scored 11 points for Boston College before fouling out. Even with their top scorer on the bench in street clothes, the Cardinals got the dominant win they wanted one day after an announcement by Louisville’s president that the team wouldn’t play in the ACC or NCAA tournaments. President James Ramsey said an investigation revealed that violations did occur when the school reviewed allegations by escort Katina Powell that former basketball staffer Andre McGee paid her and other dancers to strip and have sex with recruits and players. Lee and Lewis — graduate transfers who came to Louisville with hopes of playing in the tournament — said the team wanted to make the most of its nine remaining games. Other than a few lapses that allowed Boston College to get within single digits, the Cardinals used most of their bench to that end. Donovan Mitchell added 10 points, Quentin Snider and Jaylen Johnson each had nine and Chinanu Onuaku added eight with 13 rebounds. Ten of 12 players scored for the Cardinals, which Lee said demonstrated their determination to stick together over their final nine games. “We just have to make sure we rally around each other and continue to support each other throughout the whole thing,” Lee said.

Study gives C-section babies missed germs BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer
WASHINGTON — Sharing bacteria in the operating room normally is a no-no but in a novel experiment, researchers are giving babies born by C-section a dose of presumably protective germs from mom’s birth canal. We share our bodies with microbes — on the skin, in the mouth, in the gut — that help keep us healthy, a community, or microbiome, that starts forming at birth. Usually, a vaginal birth marks babies’ first massive exposure to the bacteria. But babies born by C-section miss out on those particular bugs, something many scientists suspect could
have consequences later in life. Monday, researchers reported the first hint that it’s possible to at least partially restore mom’s missing microbes to babies born surgically, simply by swabbing those infants with their mother’s vaginal fluid within two minutes of birth. “What we are going to show is how babies assemble their microbiome,” said microbiologist Maria Gloria DominguezBello of New York University, who led the pilot study published in the journal Nature Medicine. “Do C-section babies ever catch up?” Far more research is needed to prove if the technique really works —
or makes a difference in babies’ health. This first-step attempt to manipulate birth microbes was very small, comparing seven babies born vaginally with 11 born by scheduled C-section, four of whom got that dose of mom’s bacteria. Over the next month, researchers took more than 1,500 samples of different body sites to see how the infants’ own microbiomes were developing. The specially exposed Csection babies developed microbial neighborhoods that were more similar to vaginally born infants than to the other tots born surgically, DominguezBello reported. In particular, the swabbed babies harbored more of two bac-
teria species — Lactobacillus and Bacteroides — that are thought to play a role in training the immune system, and that were nearly absent in the untreated C-section babies. The bigger question is not just how the bugs affect early microbiome development but whether that translates to better health years later. For example, previous studies have suggested babies born by C-section have a higher risk of developing asthma, allergies and certain other health conditions, and no one knows why. Dominguez-Bello began the pilot study at the University of Puerto Rico but now has expanded it at NYU, with 84 babies
enrolled so far whose microbiomes are being tested for a year. Already, she has 13,000 samples waiting to be analyzed if she can find the funding. “That rationale does make sense,” said Gregor Reid, a microbiology professor at Canada’s University of Western Ontario, who wasn’t involved with the study and wants to see more such research. “The first few years of life are when we are programmed for long-term health. What this study is trying to say is, ‘I wonder how critical the vaginal microbiome is to this whole programming concept?’” One microbiome specialist didn’t wait for the science. When his own daughter was born by
emergency C-section four years ago, Rob Knight of the University of California, San Diego, made sure to try the swabbing technique. Knight’s partner was on board but the couple waited until the doctors and nurses left the room to avoid explaining what likely would have been viewed as, well, unorthodox. “As an evolutionary biologist and microbiologist, it just made complete sense that we’d want to maximize her ability to get the natural microbes,” Knight said. “We’re talking about something so natural, just restoring the microbes that every mammal has been exposed to for tens of millions of years.”
Rookie docs can work longer flex hours safely, study finds BY LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer
CHICAGO — Surgery patients fared just as well when junior doctors worked longer than mandated hours in the first major rigorous test of regulations many physicians say hurt medical education. Nationwide limits on work hours were established more than a decade ago because of concerns that sleep-deprived medical residents were a threat to themselves and their patients. To test that, researchers randomly assigned more than 4,000 surgery residents to regu-
lation hours or a more flexible schedule that allowed them to continue with a case after their shifts ended. That sometimes meant working for more than 28 hours at a time. The study looked at how many patients died or had serious complications in the month after surgery and found the same low rate — about 9 percent — in both groups. Residents’ self-rated dissatisfaction with their education and with their well-being were similarly low — 11 percent and roughly 13 percent respectively in each group. It’s a landmark study, testing “a hot button, con-
troversial issue in health care,” said lead author Dr. Karl Bilimoria, director of surgical outcomes and quality improvement at Northwestern University’s Feinberg medical school. Without flexibility, rookie doctors often have to end their shifts in the middle of caring for patients, handing them off to another medical resident. That can happen at critical times, disrupting the doctor-patient relationship, Bilimoria said. “Our hope would be that the evidence would be used ... to change policies fairly soon and allow flexibility back into surgi-
cal residency,” he said. Residents’ work limits were first set in 2003 by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, and revised in 2011. The rules include 80-hour maximum work weeks. The group said it will consider the results as part of an ongoing review of residents’ work hour standards. The council, the American College of Surgeons and the American Board of Surgery paid for the study, which was published Tuesday by the New England Journal of Medicine. The study involved al-
most 139,000 patients treated at 151 hospitals nationwide. A Mayo Clinic neurosurgery resident, Dr. Maya Babu, said the study results were not at all surprising. She’s head of an American College of Surgeons’ residents group. Under the limits, Babu said she has sometimes had to clock out at inopportune times, even in the middle of brain tumor operations, missing important learning opportunities. She said if allowed flexible hours, most residents would know when to speak up and say they’re too tired
to continue working. The rules affect medical school graduates involved in residency training programs in hospitals. The rules include shift limits of 16 hours for junior residents and 28 hours for senior residents; 8 to 10 hours off between shifts, but 14 hours off after a 24-hour shift. Half the residents worked under those limits in the study. The flexhour group could work longer hours with less time off between shifts, but both groups worked under the 80-hour-per week limit, averaged over four weeks.
Brazil health official confirms Zika spread through transfusion BY JENNY BARCHFIELD & LUIS ANDRES HENAO Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO — Two people in southeastern Brazil contracted the Zika virus through blood transfusions, a municipal health official said Thursday, presenting a fresh challenge to efforts to contain the virus on top of the disclosure of a case of sexual transmission in the United States. The two unrelated cases in Brazil may be the first of people contracting Zika via blood transfusions in the current outbreak, though the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, along with other health bodies, have said that Zika could be spread via blood transfusions. That concern led the U.S. Red Cross to announce that it is asking
travelers to Zika outbreak countries to wait at least 28 days before donating blood. Canadian officials said that people who have traveled outside of Canada, the continental United States and Europe won’t be able to give blood for 21 days after their return. Brigina Kemp, a top health official in the Brazilian city of Campinas, told The Associated Press that a gunshot victim and a transplant patient each tested positive for Zika after receiving blood transfusions from different donors. Kemp said staff at the University of Campinas’ hospital first noticed something was wrong in the middle of last year, when Brazil’s first cases of Zika were beginning to be reported. Generally so mild that it only causes
symptoms in about one out of five cases, Zika began to raise alarm bells after doctors here started to notice a possible link between the virus — spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito — and the birth defect microcephaly. The hospital staff noticed abnormal blood work on a young gunshot wound victim who had spent months at the facility. The patient received dozens of blood transfusions from 18 donors between February and May 2015, when he died. Because the region was in the throes of a dengue outbreak at the time, the staff suspected that disease, which is closely related to Zika, and tested him for it, Kemp said. But the tests came back negative and the blood sample was shelved. But when an organ
transplant patient tested positive for Zika after developing a fever, the hospital’s blood bank staff started looking for other possible Zika cases and tests on the gunshot victim’s blood samples came back positive. Transfusions in the two cases were traced to sepa-
rate donors who had Zika, both of whom reported having suffered symptoms days after they gave blood. The blood bank then informed Sao Paulo’s Adolfo Lutz Institute, which also tested the samples and informed Campinas’ health department of the
results last month. The Health Ministry said in an email to The Associated Press, that while the case of the gunshot victim was not yet part of a scientific study, “the case is among multiple investigations under way into the behavior of the virus.”

Efforts help Lafayette County historic preservation BY LYNDY BERRYHILL The Oxford Eagle
OXFORD — Recording local cemetery information is not easy sometimes, but it is worth it for a former genetics professor. Retired University of Mississippi professor Will St. Amand is the vice president of the Lafayette County Historical and Genealogical Society. He is also the sole owner of the only updated comprehensive cemetery information for the county. St. Amand said it is hard to look at gravesites covered up with dirt or those that have been forgotten, but he believes they still matter today. Although the original research of locating abandoned family cemeteries in Lafayette County began long before he came to Oxford, he has spent years verifying, updating and preserving the information for future generations.
“Stones disappear. They get vandalized. I know of some cemeteries where they get knocked over because deer use them as rubbing places to get rid of ticks. I know of a place that unfortunately has some bullet holes because they’re (gravestones) used as targets. Will St. Amand Retired University of Mississippi professor The Lafayette County Historical and Genealogical Society was originally founded in 1967. While it was known then as the Skipwith Historical and Genealogical Society, founding members began compiling data on all known cemeteries. Findings were published in two volumes, in 1978 and 1979. Gravesite locations were meticulously described with addresses and physical
markers to ensure sites could be found again. Unfortunately, their hard work has been undone by time. Trees have been cut, road names have changed and shrubbery has overtaken hallowed ground. St. Amand and others realized this and began a project that is taking years to complete. Along with the late Jim Paschall, St. Amand began updating the original gravesite locations. The
pair added GPS coordinates and noted locational changes to as many cemeteries as possible. Additionally, they spoke with locals to track down lesser-known cemeteries. The compiled data is held in a single unpublished volume tucked away in the Lafayette County and Oxford Public Library records room. Since Paschall died in 2013, St. Amand has done his best to continue their work. Although it is not yet complete, St. Amand said he intends to finish it. He said since he has been researching, several cemeteries have been essentially destroyed. Sometimes the public does not discover the gravesites until after construction or after family property is sold without knowledge of the cemetery. In 2014, the Lafayette County Planning Commission put a stop to one development due to an
unknown gravesite near Lafayette Springs. The site was identified through the volumes of records St. Amand had access to. The graves dated back to 1846 and contained a Civil War veteran. In a different instance, the historical cemetery behind the Tad Smith Coliseum lost key gravesite information after grave markers were removed to mow the lawn. The cemetery was full of veterans who had fought in Shiloh, Tennessee. St. Amand said the loss of key information was regrettable, but there are other instances that go unnoticed. “Stones disappear. They get vandalized,” he said. “I know of some cemeteries where they get knocked over because deer use them as rubbing places to get rid of ticks. I know of a place that unfortunately has some bullet holes because they’re (gravestones) used as
Journalist Randall Pinkston revisits Mississippi roots BY BRACEY HARRIS The Clarion-Ledger
JACKSON — Longtime journalist Randall Pinkston remembers the assignment where he wasn’t sure if he would return home. During the war in Afghanistan, the-then CBS correspondent gained access to the caves abandoned by fleeing members of Al Qaeda. The only illumination inside was provided from the faint flame of a cigarette lighter but enough to make out the danger posed by the ammunition surrounding him. “It did occur to me that I might go in that cave and not come out,” Pinkston later recalled in a retrospective with the
network. “Thankfully, nothing exploded or we would not be having this conversation today.” The moment is just one of many in a career where he has covered many domestic and international stories. Along the way, he’s made stops at the James S. Brady Press Briefing room and overseas such as in 2011 when he reported on Haiti’s struggle for survival and determination in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake. But he is the first to point back toward his humble beginnings. Born in Yazoo City, Pinkston spent his growing years on the famed Church Street. During
segregation, the community was compromised of a who’s who of black Jackson professionals. His family’s landlord was Sidney Redmond, an attorney who represented an African-American student in the case of Missouri ex rel. Gaines v. Canada, a landmark Supreme Court Case which helped pave the way for integration in post-secondary education. It was from Redmond, Pinkston learned a valuable lesson: “always ask questions, young man,” Redmond told him. After graduating from Lanier High School in 1968, Pinkston enrolled at Wesleyan University in Midtown, Connecticut, before transferring to
Millsaps College, where he received a bachelor’s degree in history. While in college, an opportunity became available when WLBT offered on the job training to minorities as the result of a lawsuit challenging the network’s FCC challenge due to its discriminatory coverage practices. During his stint at an affiliated radio station, WDFX, Pinkston was asked, “Don’t you want to be on TV? And I said no.” Gradually, his feelings toward the medium evolved and he began anchoring a 15-minute newscast. After attending the Michele Clark Fellowship Program for Minority Journalists at Columbia University in 1973,
Pinkston became the first African American to anchor a 6 p.m. newscast at the NBC affiliate. He didn’t hold the groundbreaking position for long. Within a year he jumped nearly 50 markets to a CBS affiliate in Jacksonville, Florida. After leaving the station in 1976, he began working at WSFB in Hartford, Connecticut. Off air, he earned a law degree from The University of Connecticut School of Law in 1980. Within the next decade, he would join CBS as a White House correspondent, where he covered the presidency of George H.W. Bush. He remained with the network until 2013. His final story was on Medgar Evers’
targets. I know of some places where stones are broken and fallen out of place.” The fact that people from all over America visit Oxford’s library to search for deceased relatives motivates St. Amand to continue his plight. People come to Oxford and spend hours looking through thousands of marriage licenses, birth certificates, death certificates and cemetery records. Most recently, an uncle and his nephew drove more than 2,000 miles from Carson City, Nevada, in search of one man who lived in Lafayette County in the 1800s. The fact that people come to Oxford for information motivates him to continue his work, whether they drive across the country or down the street. “These aren’t just a collection of names, dates and places,” he said. “These are people.”
It was from (Sidney) Redmond, Pinkston learned a valuable lesson: “always ask questions, young man ...” fight to receive airtime on WLBT — the station that gave Pinkston his first break. Now’s he’s taken a role instructing the next generation, having taught several media performance courses at the University of Mississippi’s Meek School of Journalism. And although Pinkston hasn’t applied for other on-air jobs, don’t count on his final sign-off just yet.

Boy meets girl, meets dog in ‘Earnest’ BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez
“Earnest” by Kristin von Kreisler, c.2016, Kensington $15; 256 pages The day you met your dog, it was love at first sight. Those big brown eyes, that silky-sheened fur, butt-wiggles, even puppy breath was hard to resist. You couldn’t decide who picked whom, and it didn’t matter: on the day you met your dog, it was forever. But, as in the new book “Earnest” by Kristin von Kreisler, could the same be said for your human? The minute Anna stepped into Second Chance Shelter, she knew that she and her boyfriend, Jeff, weren’t going home alone. Jeff only wanted to “look” at the dogs – he said you got a better idea of their personalities that way – but
when they met Earnest, well, that was that. He was a gorgeous 3-year-old yellow Lab and on that day, they became a family of three. That made Anna enormously happy. Earnest was a sweetheart and she loved taking him to work at her Seattle area floral shop, which was located in an old Victorian mansion that Anna’s grandmother once owned. Anna’s shop, Plant Parenthood, was humming; Anna’s friends (business co-renters of the house) were busy; and Jeff was becoming a success at his architectural firm. Life was good. Jeff didn’t know how he was going to tell Anna about his work project. He hadn’t asked for it; Cedar Place was handed to him, and its completion would totally set his career. When it was done, it would be a jewel in the neighborhood, a place for
community and retail, museums and families, something Jeff could be proud of. He’d thought through every single facet of it. Except for one thing: the project involved the demolition of the Victorian mansion that Anna loved. Though he had a solution to it all, she would be heartbroken. But she was more than just that. When Anna learned that Jeff was involved in the Cedar Place project, she was livid. How could he? Didn’t he think she’d be hurt? Jeff moved out of their condo. Anna filed for custody of Earnest. Jeff countered with a mediator. Anna started fighting for her beloved house. There was no way they could ever continue their relationship. But Earnest – and life – had other ideas… There are two basic
things you should know about “Earnest.” It’s good, and it’s too long. On the first point, who can resist a book about a dog? I know I can’t, especially when the dog is personable but not cutesy, so I was glad that author Kristin von Kreisler is careful not to go overboard with her Earnest. He’s a charmer, but not a saccharine one. The “overboard” comes with the human characters’ back-and-forth. Anna and Jeff’s fight goes on and on and on and, well, you know. I desperately wanted them to stop already. Their heel-digging comprises the majority of this book, and it’s too much. Keep that in mind, and if you’re willing to endure it for the sake of an otherwise good boy-meetsgirl-meets-dog romance, you’ll be fine. In that case, I think “Earnest” will nicely meet your needs.

Crossword
LOS ANGELES — Nicholas Sparks’ novels wouldn’t continue to be best-sellers and be adapted into movies if some audiences didn’t like their romances with a hearty helping of cheese. The 11th big-screen adaptation of one of his books, “The Choice,” is like fondue. As such, some will eagerly dig in, while others are likely to find it too sticky and overly rich. The story is about Travis (Benjamin Walker), a Southern charmer who lives on the North Carolina coast with his dog and his boat and his easybreezy lifestyle. He never worried about having a girlfriend until he meets Gabby (Teresa Palmer), a medical student who moves in next door. He’s transfixed, even though she’s irritated by his loud music and carefree attitude — and tells him so. Gabby has a boyfriend, anyway: local doctor
Ryan (Tom Welling, looking twice the size he was in TV’s “Smallville”), and it seems they’re destined to be married. But when Ryan goes away on business, Travis turns his lady-killer charms on Gabby, inviting her out on his boat, then his motorcycle, and bonding with her over their love of dogs. Imagine her surprise when she discovers he’s the town veterinarian! This is young love, wealthy Southern style. Every character has a house, and earning a living isn’t an issue. It seems the ultimate achievement is marriage and children. Meanwhile, Travis’ know-it-all sister, Steph (Maggie Grace), can tell he’s smitten. So can his ex, Monica (Alexandra Daddario), who advises him to follow his heart. Both actresses wear similar dark brown hairstyles in the film, and at times it’s hard to tell them apart, which is confusing and potentially gross.
All of this relationship development happens in an extensive flashback that fills the bulk of the movie. The opening scene shows Travis at the hospital with flowers in hand. It then immediately jumps back seven years to show the early days of Travis and Gabby’s courtship, following the evolution of their lives together until he ends up at the hospital with the flowers. Walker is a capable and convincing leading man, and strikingly sweet as a playboy falling in love. Palmer, though, is best when playing a plucky student. She and Walker have chemistry as a couple, but she fails to convey the maturity her character would have after seven years of heartbreak, commitment and parenthood. The makeup artists may also be to blame. Two-time Oscar nominee Tom Wilkinson adds gravitas as Travis and Steph’s widowed dad, but his character isn’t re-
ally integral to the story. North Carolina is a character in itself, particularly its marshy coastline and sprawling waterways. Cinematographer Alar Kivilo shoots the lapping waves and swaying reeds like they’re starring in a travel video. And while the photography is beautiful, at times it unfortunately adds to the cheese factor. When things get rough in Travis and Gabby’s relationship, the seas are choppy and gray. When uncertainty looms, the landscape is windy. It’s metaphor to the max. Romance stories endure because true love is endlessly appealing. But “The Choice” might be too cloying for anyone but Sparks and Harlequin Romance devotees. “The Choice,” a Lionsgate release, is rated PG13 by the Motion Picture Association of America “for sexual content and some thematic issues.” Running time: 110 minutes. Two stars out of four.

Elton John, “Wonderful Crazy Night” (Island) Elton John puts some pep in his pop on “Wonderful Crazy Night,” a more upbeat, naturalsounding album than recent efforts. Driven by distinctive piano riffs and benefiting from the energy provided by the return of longtime
drummer Nigel Olsson and guitarist Davey Johnstone, the 10 tracks, including lead single “Looking Up,” shine without gimmicks. Lyricist Bernie Taupin and percussionist Ray Cooper — tambourine on five tracks — also lend their talents to John’s 33rd studio album, his third in a row produced by T Bone Burnett and the most streamlined of the trio. Lyrics and melodies
are well matched, and while John and Taupin have collaborated on some autobiographical albums and songs, they don’t seem to reveal much this time around. “I’ve Got 2 Wings” tells the story of Utah Smith, a little-known Louisiana preacher whose efforts to spread the Good Word were aided by an electric guitar and a pair of colossal wings. In other tunes, Taupin’s images are more worldly but no
less fervent — like the title track’s “ice cubes on the back of your neck,” or “you’re an open chord I’m gonna play all day.” Several songs like “A Good Heart” or “Blue Wonderful” could fit on John’s albums from decades ago, boosted now by a freshness in his voice he didn’t always have back then. “Wonderful Crazy Night” may not be as colorful as its cover, but it’s a lively, classy effort.
Charles Kelley’s ‘Driver’ focuses on songs about love, life on the road BY MICHAEL MCCALL Associated Press
On the song “Leaving Nashville,” singer Charles Kelley delves into the personal and professional struggles that a songwriter faces after tasting a modicum of success. The complex narrative establishes why this member of the country trio Lady Antebellum wanted to record a solo album: Kelley’s intimate, emotional performance would have sounded out of place with a group identified with vocal interplay and harmonies.
Kelley’s album, “The Driver,” focuses on moody, dramatic songs about love (the outstanding “The Only One Who Gets Me”) and life on the road (“The Driver”). Working with producer Paul Worley, Kelley mostly ignores country music’s recent obsession with beat-driven tracks that incorporate hip-hop and hard rock. Instead, Kelley’s sound draws on ’70s and ’80s mid-tempo adult rock. In a duet with Stevie Nicks, he nails the stubborn social commentary
in Tom Petty’s “Southern Accents.” Elsewhere, he takes cues from the heartland rock of Bob Seger (“Your Love”) and the silky soul of Boz Scaggs (“Lonely Girl”). Kelley keeps things tight — the nine songs clock in under 40 minutes — to maintain a steady mood. A theme album in an age of singles, “The Driver” is another fine example that country music is poised to shift away stifling trends and strive toward a more individually expressive era.
Fox News’ Megyn Kelly seals book deal Associated Press
NEW YORK — Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has a book deal. HarperCollins Publishers announced Thursday that it has acquired world rights to Kelly’s first book. It will be published by the Harper imprint this fall. Kelly currently anchors Fox News Channel’s “The
Kelly File.” Before joining Fox, she was a general assignment reporter for WJLA-TV in Washington, D.C. Prior to her career in television news, Kelly practiced law for nine years. The book was acquired by Lisa Sharkey, who is the senior vice president director of creative de-
Cryptoquip
velopment at HarperCollins. Sharkey says Kelly is “among the most interesting and influential people in America today.” The book will be edited by HarperCollins executive editor Matt Harper. HarperCollins and Fox News are both subsidiaries of News Corp.
