BIGGERSVILLE — Four volunteer fire departments responded to a Alcorn County house fire late Wednesday night. Biggersville Fire & Rescue Fire Chief Jonathan Rider said his department received the dispatch around 11:30 p.m. of a fire at a single-story dwelling at 608 U.S. 45 near the Big-

gersville water tower. “When we arrived on the scene, the house was fully engulfed,” said Rider. “The fire was through the roof and windows.” The homeowner — William Davis — was asleep inside his home when the fire started. “Mr. Davis and his dog was in a back bedroom. Apparently the dog woke up his owner. Because the fire had

According to CPD’s report on the 4:50 p.m. accident, Wade was attempting to cross Cass Street on foot, heading westbound, when a northbound 2001 Kia made contact with Wade in the northbound lane. The vehicle was driven by Zachary Franks, 26, of Corinth.

The path to legal American citizenship will come to fruition in Corinth for about 100 aspiring residents. The city will host a naturalization ceremony at the Coliseum Civic Center on April 13 at 11 a.m. “We’ll be the first municipality in the state of Mississippi that will host one,” said Mayor Tommy Irwin. “I can’t wait for it. It’s something you can tell your children about — I was

Crossroads area girls are preparing for a night at the ball. More than 1,000 guests will head to the sixth annual Father-Daughter Ball on Saturday night at the Crossroads Arena, and according to event chair Ken Weeden, those who don’t yet have tickets to the fundraiser event are still in luck.

Author launches new series with signing BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

What happens when new evidence disappears which would exonerate a death row inmate just four days from execution? This Saturday fans of Patricia Bradley can find out the answer to that question if they pick up a copy of Justice Delayed, the first novel in her new Memphis Cold Case novel series of crime thrillers. Bradley will be signing copies of her books from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. Saturday at the Books-A-Million in Corinth. Justice Delayed is set in Memphis, Tenn., and opens with a death row inmate who

is just four days from execution. The author said the prisoner receives a letter that says he did commit the crime and the letter-writer has proof, but then the letter goes missing and the writer is murdered. The plot then falls to the hero and heroine to figure out who is the real killer before the clock runs out. The heroine is TV crime reporter Andi Hollister. It was her sister’s murder for which the death row inmate is awaiting execution. The hero is Detective Will Kincaide of the Memphis Cold Case Unit. The man who confessed to the crime is his cousin. Bradley said she had to se-

riously research the rare situations for which the death penalty would have been a sentence for the convict. The inmate had confessed to the crime because he was drunk the night of the murder and does not remember the details. The author has already received strong reviews for Justice Delayed. Lynette Eason, bestselling and awardwinning author of the Hidden Identity series, said, “Patricia Bradley weaves together law enforcement and suspense in a beautiful tapestry of words that result in a book the reader won’t want to put down.” Bradley’s complex plots

begin with the simplest of questions. She said her novels often begin with a “what if” question. “In this case, my question was ‘what if someone was on death row and he didn’t do it?’ I know a lot of them say they didn’t do it, but what if this guy was really innocent?” she explained. The novel is published by Please see BRADLEY | 2A

JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court ruled Thursday that it has no power to settle a dispute over how the Legislature operates. The decision is a victory for the Republican House speaker in a 2016 spat over his use of a speedy computer voice to read bills aloud in the House chamber. Some lawmakers jokingly called the cartoonish voice a “demon chipmunk.” “We are without constitutional authority to resolve this dispute,” a majority of justices wrote. The Mississippi Constitution allows any lawmaker to have a bill read aloud immediately before a final vote on it, and the readings are a common filibuster tactic. House Democrats forced readings in March because they thought their ideas were being ignored by the Republican supermajority. Speaker Philip Gunn of Clinton ordered the House staff to use a computer-generated voice to read the bills, and it was put on a warp-speed setting that was difficult to

understand. Democratic Rep. Jay Hughes of Oxford sued Gunn, contending that the speedy setting violated the constitutional provision for bill reading. Gunn said legislators have instant access to bills online, so it’s not necessary for them to understand the oral reading. Justices did not listen to recordings of the bill readings as they considered the dispute. “We hold that this court lacks constitutional authority to interfere in the procedural workings of the Legislature, even when those procedures are constitutionally mandated,” a majority of justices ruled. “This limitation on our power has been recognized by this court for more than a century.” The ruling reflects arguments made by Gunn’s attorney. “It sounds like they made a legally sound decision,” Gunn said Thursday. In a dissent, Justice Leslie King wrote that the Supreme Court should have sent the lawsuit back to the court where it was filed to let a circuit judge consider arguments.

Bills would empower legally weak governor Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers passed three measures Thursday that could strengthen the traditionally weak powers of the governor. Senate Bill 2567 would allow Gov. Phil Bryant to appoint the director of the Department of Mental Health, who is currently named by a freestanding board, while House Bill 1425 would allow the governor to veto any new regulation proposed by some boards. Meanwhile, House members also removed a block on House Bill 974, which would let agency heads fire many state employees without going through civil service procedures. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Buck Clarke, R-Hollandale, championed the changes to the mental health agency. He amended the original measure to remove efforts to give the governor control of the state Health Department and state Department of Rehabilitation Services. But Clarke said that, in general, he thought the governor should control agencies the same way the president does at the federal level. “Having Cabinet members who are accountable to the executive, elected president is how the framers of our Constitution thought things should be run,” Clarke said.

Those who drew up Mississippi’s 1890 Constitution, though, had a sharply different vision. They wanted legislators in charge, and dispersed executive power by creating freestanding boards and commissions. Sen. Hob Bryan, DAmory, said Mental Health was “targeted” because it has bucked the governor and legislative leadership by complaining about budget cuts and fighting for its mission. Representatives narrowly approved House Bill 1425, saying boards that regulate occupations, such as architecture, would have to send any proposed rules to the governor for approval or veto. The bill was held for the possibility of more debate. The House sent House Bill 974, which would remove civil service protections from most state employees, onto the Senate. Democrats have expressed fears that allowing agency heads to fire employees without going through the normal process of getting approval from the state Personnel Board could lead to politically-oriented firings, or enable Republicans to cut agency budgets deeply, making leaders fire employees to conserve funds. Republicans have said they think agency heads could manage more efficiently with the power to fire freely.

Across the Region Booneville Tourism tax bill filed in legislature BOONEVILLE — A bill has been filed in the state senate to allow Booneville residents to vote on a proposed tourism tax. State Senator J.P. Wilemon filed Senate Bill 2948 Friday which would authorize a vote on a 2 percent additional sales tax on lodging and prepared food at restaurants. The bill must be approved by both the senate and the house of representatives and signed by the governor. If approved aldermen would then set an election on the issue and the proposal would have to be approved by 60 percent of those voting. The bill authorizes funds from the tax to be used by the city to “promote tourism, parks and recreation, economic development and the general health and well being of its citizens, including infrastructure improvements, and for related purposes”. The monies generated would be kept in a separate account from the city’s general fund and budgeted separately. Mayor Derrick Blythe has said 20 percent of any funds generated would be used to establish a city tourism department which would give the city opportunities to apply for more grant funding. Another 20 percent would be earmarked for Booneville and Prentiss County Main Street, 20 percent for the Prentiss County Development Association, 20 percent to improvements in the parks and recreation department and

20 percent to be placed in an account to provide matching funds for grants received by the city. Blythe said Tuesday he appreciates Wilemon filing the bill and just wants to see citizens be given an opportunity to vote on the proposal. “That’s all we’re asking for is to give people the right to vote,” he said. The Prentiss County Development Association has come out in favor of the effort and on Monday PCDA Executive Director Leon Hays discussed the proposal with the county board of supervisors. Several board members expressed support for allowing a vote on the issue. “Whether they’re for or against it there needs to be a vote and the public’s opinion needs to be heard,” said Board of Supervisors President Matt Murphy. State Representative Tracy Arnold did not return a message left Tuesday seeking comment regarding his stance on the bill should it reach his chamber of the legislature.

Selmer School raising funds for library improvements SELMER, Tenn. — McNairy Central’s librarian is looking to brighten the library to help attract more students and to make it easier for them to work in a more friendly environment. The goal is to raise some money to buy new furniture to give the school’s library a more modern feel for the students.

“We want the students to enjoy themselves and come to the library more often,” said Beth Vise, now in her second year as the librarian at MCHS. “We have already done some work to improve the library.” Vise has opened accounts on two online fundraising sites, donorschoose.org and gofundme. com, for those willing to make donations that way. A donor can also mail a check to McNairy Central, 493 High School Road; Selmer, TN 38375 and put Library in the memo. Donorschoose will match every donation up to $50 for the first week of the project. You must use the promo code LIFTOFF to get the school the extra donation. McNairy Central students can visit the library before or after school, between class periods, or with their teacher’s permission. The librarian has already made some positive improvements by rearranging the shelving to open the interior space to give the library a more contemporary look. Vise hopes to raise $3,000 to buy new furniture and two rugs for the library. She would like to purchase comfortable and moveable seating options and rugs to define areas for casual class and student gathering. “We want the students to be more comfortable and enjoy their time in the school’s library,” commented Vise. “My hope is to make easier for our students to enjoy quiet work spaces and collaborative work spaces to utilize the library as a modern learning commons.”

A learning commons is a place that incorporates the traditional components of a library, such as a collection of books and a quiet place to study, with the information technology components of a media lab, tools for inquirybased learning, and casual gathering spaces for a variety of activities.

Corinth, Miss.

Ruling on immigration ban is wrong If the law means anything, the Trump administration will succeed in overturning the socalled court ruling against its travel ban. The nationwide stay of the ban issued by Judge James Rich Robart, a Washington stateLowry based federal district judge, is tissue-thin. It doesn’t bother National to engage on the substance, Review presumably because facts, logic and the law don’t support Robart’s sweeping assertion of judicial authority in an area where judicial power is inherently quite limited. This doesn’t justify President Donald Trump tweeting that Robart is a “so-called judge.” That slam earned Trump bipartisan blowback and may encourage other judges to tilt against Trump’s ban in response to a perceived threat to the independence of the judiciary. But Robart’s handiwork is shoddy and usurpatory, despite the fact that he is indeed a literal judge. Even if you assume that the states of Washington and Minnesota have standing to pursue the litigation, the stay falls down. It ignores our constitutional scheme and Supreme Court precedent, as the Justice Department brief seeking to reverse it persuasively argues. First, Judge Robart is trespassing on a core executive responsibility. “The exclusion of aliens is a fundamental act of sovereignty,” the Supreme Court held in the 1950 Knauff case, “inherent in the executive power to control the foreign affairs of the nation.” The courts are not meant to second guess the executive’s conduct of foreign affairs, or intrude on its plenary power in this area. “It is not within the province of any court,” the court noted in that decision, “unless expressly authorized by law, to review the determination of the political branch of the Government to exclude a given alien.” Second, it’s hard to get around the relevant federal immigration law, which says, “Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.” This is as explicit and wide-ranging as it gets. When the president has such authorization from Congress, the Supreme Court held in the Youngstown Steel case in 1952, his “authority is at its maximum, for it includes all that he possesses in his own right plus all that Congress can delegate.” Finally, aliens residing outside the United States have no right to come here. The Supreme Court held in the 1982 Landon case, “an alien seeking initial admission to the United States requests a privilege and has no constitutional rights regarding his application, for the power to admit or exclude aliens is a sovereign prerogative.” It’s not clear how Judge Robart expects opponents of the Trump ban to overcome these substantial and well-established obstacles. A more extensive and carefully reasoned decision by a Massachusetts-based district judge reached the opposite conclusion of his. It is true that the ultimate source of the Trump executive order is his ill-advised call for a Muslim ban during the campaign. But the executive order, focusing on seven wartorn or hostile countries that had already been singled out for scrutiny during the Obama administration, is manifestly not a Muslim ban. Judge Robart may not like the Trump policy, but that doesn’t mean that it is illegal or unconstitutional. His ruling is worthy of the generally unhinged opposition to President Trump. If the judge doesn’t deserve the abuse that Trump heaped on him on Twitter, he produced what should rightly be considered so-called jurisprudence.

Prayer for today Eternal God, who hath weighed the mountains and measured the seas, I pray that I may not be satisfied to wait in idleness, and let thy wisdom pass away from me as the days. Steady me in my weakness, and reveal to me my strength as I draw near and ask of thee. Amen.

Lottery intrigue follows same old road STARKVILLE — So, gentle reader, would Mississippi voters approve a state lottery were they to be given a chance to vote on the issue. In a phrase, bet on it. Yes. As far back 1992, polling in Mississippi has demonstrated the public’s measurable appetite for a state lottery. That year, Mississippi State University Professor Steve Shaffer’s research identified 62 percent support for a state lottery – with other prior polls showing support for a state lottery as high as 72 percent if the proceeds were tied to public education. State government blessed and embraced casino gaming about the same time that much of the state’s lottery polling was conducted. With the inception of legal casino gaming, Mississippi lottery proponents then faced two fundamental political narratives opposing adoption of a state lottery in the Magnolia State. First, there were religious objections. Mississippi churchmen (and women) dutifully and sincerely opposed gambling in all forms much as they had opposed legal alcohol in all forms. In a state with the most churches per capita, religious opposi-

tion to most anything is a powerful and pervasive political force. MississipSid Salter pi’s churches - consisColumnist tently - say Mississippi already has too much gambling and does not need any more. Those voices point out that while the casinos are isolated, lottery ticket sales would be in every community in Mississippi. One Mississippian entrenched in his religious beliefs on the lottery issue is Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn, RClinton. For the whole of his public career, Gunn has never wavered in his opposition to the lottery. He is not for it. Period. More about that later. Second, the advent of legal casino gaming also gave a powerful and monied ally to the state’s churches in their opposition to lotteries – the state’s casino interests. Much like the wellknown but little discussed alliances of preachers and bootleggers in local option liquor elections in the states, the lottery energized strange political bedfellow alliances between the

churches and the casino operators. The argument has long been made that Mississippi’s business community should assisting in helping to “protect” the state’s existing gaming interests. But in Florida, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee, lawmakers aren’t protecting their existing gambling interests. They are, however, selling Mississippians as many lottery tickets as we will buy and reaping the tax revenue from it to address problems in their states. Currently, yet another pro-lottery effort is afoot. Gov. Phil Bryant noted his willingness to entertain a lottery in his “State of the State” address. The Legislature seems ready to vote on the issue. But the lottery has been down this circuitous political path before. While procedural tricks and strategies have advanced the lottery so far in the 2017 session, there’s a lot of “legislatin’ “ left to be done before Mississippians don’t have to full their car with gas to go across state lines to buy lottery tickets. What’s driving this renewed lottery debate? Hasn’t State Rep. Alyce Clarke introduced lottery legislation about a million

times, only to see her colleagues let it die in committee? Mississippi’s anemic revenue stream is the reason lawmakers are seriously talking about a lottery in 2017. For Rep. Clarke, the lottery bill is her annual legislative trip to Mecca. Clarke is a sincere Christian woman with the highest moral and ethical values who nonetheless sees the lines of cars taking Mississippi lottery players to Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee and Florida to buy lottery tickets. Clarke wonders — each year for more than a decade now — why a portion of those funds can’t stay in Mississippi to fund highways or education or public health or a host of other needs? Back to Speaker Gunn. Normally, when a legislative leader at Gunn’s rank opposes a bill, there are powerful forces at work – special interests, lobbyists, big money, etc. – guiding his actions. Like Rep. Clarke, however, for Gunn it’s a simple matter of his conscience and his beliefs. Time will tell if the odds on a state lottery get shorter in 2017. Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist.

Reportedly, this piqued the president’s interest and the discussion continued after the meeting formally concluded, with presidential aide Omarosa Manigault announcing to the media that she is working on an executive order to help the HBCUs. This has apparently excited other Republicans as an opportunity to show their interest in helping blacks and a meeting is reportedly in the making among Republican congressional leaders, White House operatives and leaders from the HBCUs. The details of the executive order remain unknown. But short of it being a purely ceremonial toothless statement of support, it is reasonable to assume that it’s about

government money. Historically Black Colleges and Universities have a disStar tinguished Parker history, and they have Columnist played a very important role in black life, particularly during the years of segregation. But the question today is how does more government money going into these institutions help further President Trump’s promise to fix our inner cities? Pell Grants, which are outright grants from the federal government to low-income students, are of particular interest to HBCUs. They were upset with Barack Obama because in 2011 standards for Pell Grants were tightened and they claim this caused drops in HBCU enrollment. But their enrollments were dropping before 2011. In 1976, 18 percent of all

black students were enrolled in these institutions. By 2013 it was down to 8 percent. Overall black enrollment in institutions of higher learning is up. From 2000 to 2014, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, the percentage of black students among all students enrolled in degree granting institutions rose from 11.7 percent to 14.5 percent. And enrollment of black students in the age range of 18-25 stayed constant. Nationwide, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, 59 percent of all first-time college enrollees graduate in 6 years. For black students, it is 39.5 percent. But in HBCUs only 36 percent of students enrolled in 4-year degreegranting institutions graduate in 6 years. Perhaps part of the president’s Black History Month listening tour should include a lesson in the damage government dependency has already done in black communities, in order to start

considering ways to promote market based solutions to fight poverty and crime. President Trump has made some great appointments with great promise in this direction. Betsy DeVos at Education can start pushing for parental choice. Ben Carson at HUD should push for more freedom in lowincome housing programs, such as stipulation-free housing vouchers, giving recipients full control where to live. And Tom Price at HHS should push for transforming federal welfare expenditures into state block grants, giving more local control, and for market-based reforms in health care. Let’s hope this is where President Trump focuses his attention, rather than getting diverted into thinking the way to show blacks Republicans care is to spend government money like Democrats.

Sanders to join march against Nissan CANTON — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and actor Danny Glover are coming to Mississippi to help bring attention to what organizers call poor working conditions at Nissan’s manufacturing plant in Canton. The Clarion-Ledger reports that a local group called the Mississippi Alliance For Fairness at Nissan is helping to organize the “March on Mississippi.” The march is scheduled for March 4 at the Canton Sportsplex and U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson and Sierra Club President Aaron Mair are also expected to attend. The march was organized after Nissan workers say they were met with intimidation and harassment after they tried to unionize.

Overdue child support tops $223,000 BRANDON — After five years on the run, a Mississippi man has been arrested and accused of not paying almost a quarter of a million dollars in child support. Attorney Matthew Thomson tells The Clarion-Ledger that 50-year-old Tony Haywood, of Brandon, was arrested by the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department last week on a contempt of court charge. Thompson says Haywood had three children with his ex-wife, Renee Ainsworth, before they divorced in Georgia in 2004. They had been married for 16 years. In 2012, a Rankin County judge ordered Haywood to pay about $152,000 in unpaid child support and Ainsworth’s attorney’s fees. Thompson says Haywood continued to not pay and went “on the lam.” With interest, he now owes more than $223,000.

Jackson city leader convicted JACKSON — The head of a downtown Jackson development group has been convicted on a charge that he embezzled money from the organization. Ben Allen was found guilty Tuesday on one count of a 10-count indictment. That count charged Allen with improperly receiving money from Downtown Jackson Partners to pay his wife’s mobile phone bill. A lawyer tells The Clarion-Ledger Allen will appeal the conviction. The executive director was indicted last year on charges he stole nearly $55,000 of the group’s money and misused another $190,000.

State funds help preserve Civil War sites For the Daily Corinthian

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Civil War Trust has thanked Tennessee officials for their roles in creating and continuing to enhance the state’s trailblazing Civil War or War Between the States Site Preservation Fund, a permanent funding source for the protection of some of Tennessee’s most important historic land. The fund is the first in the nation to guarantee money for Civil War site preservation each year, and has already been used by the Civil War Trust – a national organization dedicated to the protection of battlefield land – to preserve 100 acres at Chattanooga and Shiloh National Military Park. The trust is pursuing additional preservation opportunities at those battlefields, as well as at Franklin, Stones River and other battlegrounds throughout the state. Just this week, the trust announced a new campaign to preserve 45 acres at Fort Donelson, a battlefield essential to understanding the Western Theater of the Civil War and Ulysses S. Grant’s ascent to commanding general of the United States Army. “We are thrilled about the new possibilities presented by the preservation fund, and grateful to our partners in Tennessee who are helping set the standard for states passionate about protecting their historic landscapes,” said Civil War Trust President James Lighthizer. “To be able to count on funding for battlefield preservation year after year is an unprecedented boost to the preservation

tion of the year-over-year revenue growth from the state’s Real Estate Transfer Tax. For fiscal year 2017-18, this will translate to more than $1.2 million in funding to safeguard the state’s hallowed ground, with any remaining money set aside for use in future years. “The creation of this fund is one of my proudest accomplishments as a legislator and native Tennessean,” said McDaniel, who has served in the House for three decades. “The battlefields we protect will not only ensure a lasting legacy for all those who contributed to the establishment of the program, but will serve as invaluable outdoor classrooms for this and future generations of Americans.” McDaniel’s bipartisan bill initiating the Civil War or War Between the States Site Preservation Fund was co-sponsored in the House by Rep. Tilman Goins and former House Speaker Kent Williams. The bill was co-sponsored in the Senate by Sens. Todd Gardenhire, Bill Ketron and Jim Tracy, as well as retired Sen. Charlotte Burks. “The battlefield land that this fund preserves is a testament to Tennessee’s veterans and active military personnel,” said House Speaker Beth Harwell. “The hallowed ground in the Volunteer State serves as a living monument to the soldiers who fought in the Civil War, and to all Americans who have worn our nation’s uniform.” The Tennessee Wars Commission, under the purview of the Tennessee Historical Commission (THC), is charged with ad-

ministering the fund. “The efforts we are celebrating today have gone a long way toward protecting the state’s historic places,” said THC Executive Director Patrick McIntyre. “By preserving battlefield land, we gain the opportunity to restore, interpret and maintain some of Tennessee’s most significant cultural resources.” In the Civil War years of 1861-65, Tennessee was at the center of the storm. Commanding approaches into Virginia, the Carolinas and the Deep South, Tennessee saw more than 1,000 battles during the Civil War, second only to Virginia. More than 100,000 Confederate soldiers joined the war effort, and more than 50,000 men signed up to fight for the Union, more than any other Confederate state. Emblematic of its divided loyalties, Tennessee was the last state to leave and the first state to rejoin the Union. Tennesseans on both sides largely reconciled after the war. The Civil War Trust is the premier nonprofit organization devoted to the preservation of America’s hallowed battlegrounds. Although primarily focused on the protection of Civil War battlefields, through its Campaign 1776 initiative, the Trust also seeks to save the battlefields connected to the Revolutionary War and War of 1812. To date, the trust has preserved nearly 45,000 acres of battlefield land in 23 states, including 3,315 acres in Tennessee. (To learn more, visit www.civilwar.org.)

community in Tennessee and a gift to all of us who understand the importance of commemorating our nation’s defining moments.” To date, the trust has saved hallowed ground at 11 of Tennessee’s battlefields, for a total of nearly 3,500 acres. The fund’s founding legislation was introduced in 2013 by state Rep. Steve McDaniel, deputy speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives and a lifelong battlefield preservation advocate. Gov. Bill Haslam signed the bill into law later that year. Like the Virginia battlefield fund after which it is modeled, the program provides competitive matching grants which foster partnerships and private-sector investment in battlefield preservation. The fund received $482,000 in its first year, for which the Trust successfully applied to assist in purchasing two key sets of battlefield parcels at Chattanooga. Totaling almost 50 acres, the land is on the sharply defined, historically significant western slope of Missionary Ridge. Without the matching money provided by the preservation fund, these sites could easily have been lost; both properties had been slated for residential development. In subsequent legislative sessions, McDaniel continued his work on behalf of the new program, ensuring two annually recurring funding sources for the preservation of Civil War sites. The first is a $250,000 allocation from the Tennessee State Lands Acquisition Fund. The second is a por-

Tribe files legal challenge For Trump, life in White House is to stall pipeline project so far a largely solitary existence Associated Press Associated Press

CANNON BALL, N.D. — Construction crews have resumed work on the final segment of the Dakota Access pipeline, and the developer of the long-delayed project said Thursday that the full system could be operational within three months. Meanwhile, an American Indian tribe filed a legal challenge to block the work and protect its water supply. The Army granted Energy Transfer Partners formal permission Wednesday to lay pipe under a North Dakota reservoir, clearing the way for completion of the 1,200-mile pipeline. Company spokeswoman Vicki Granado confirmed early Thursday that construction began “immediately after receiving the easement.” Workers had already drilled entry and exit holes for the segment, and oil had been put in the pipeline leading up to Lake Oahe in anticipation of finishing the project. “The estimate is 60 days to complete the drill and another 23 days to fill the line to Patoka,” Granado said, referring to the shipping point in Illinois that is the pipeline’s destination. Work was stalled for months due to opposition by the Standing Rock Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux tribes. Both tribes argue that the pipeline threatens

“The sanctity of these waters is a central tenet of their religion, and the placement of the pipeline itself, apart from any rupture and oil spill, is a desecration of these waters.” Attorney Nicole Ducheneaux their water supply and cultural sites. In a statement, Cheyenne River Sioux Chairman Harold Frazier said the water “is our life. It must be protected at all costs.” The Cheyenne River reservation in South Dakota borders the Standing Rock reservation, which straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border. The last piece of the pipeline is to pass under the lake on the Missouri River, which marks the eastern border of both reservations. A separate court battle unfolded between the developer and the Army Corps of Engineers, which oversees the federal land where the last segment is now being laid. President Donald Trump last month instructed the Corps to advance pipeline construction. The Cheyenne River Sioux on Thursday asked a federal judge to stop the work while a lawsuit filed earlier by the tribes proceeds. Attorney Nicole Ducheneaux said in court documents that the pipeline “will dese-

crate the waters” that the Cheyenne River Sioux rely on. Energy Transfer Partners, which maintains the pipeline is safe, did not immediately respond in court to the filing. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said he would hear arguments from attorneys on Monday. The tribes’ lawsuit, filed last summer, has been on hold while the dispute over the final pipeline segment played out. The Cheyenne River Sioux on Thursday told the judge that they also want to make a claim on freedom-of-religion grounds. “The sanctity of these waters is a central tenet of their religion, and the placement of the pipeline itself, apart from any rupture and oil spill, is a desecration of these waters,” Ducheneaux wrote. Standing Rock Sioux attorney Jan Hasselman has said that tribe will also try to block the construction in court, with likely arguments that further study is necessary to preserve tribal treaty rights.

WASHINGTON — Around 6:30 each evening, Secret Service agents gather in the dim hallways of the West Wing to escort Donald Trump home. For some presidents, the short walk between the Oval Office and the White House residence upstairs is a lifeline to family and a semblance of normal life. Others have used the grand residence for late night entertaining and deal-making with lawmakers. For Trump, life in the White House residence is so far a largely solitary existence. With his wife and youngest son living in New York, and his grown children busy with their young families, Trump’s first evenings have been spent largely alone, tethered to the outside world only by his phone and his

television. The dramatic change of scenery has left the 70-year-old president, a known creature of habit, a little adrift in the evenings, according to one person who spoke with him recently. Another regular contact described the president as still adjusting to this new digs and his somewhat more confined schedule. His advisers initially said they expected him to spend his evenings holding working dinners, like one scheduled Thursday with Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson. While Trump has marveled at the history and beauty of his new home, “it’s still government housing,” said Christopher Ruddy, the CEO of Newsmax and a friend of the president’s. A half-dozen other friends, advisers and as-

sociates of the president spoke about his first weeks in the White House on the condition of anonymity in order to detail private conversations. The interviews underscore the relatively large circle of people who have spoken with the new president, despite the busy schedule and enormous pressures of the job. Trump has been spending his nights making and taking calls to an expanding network of old friends, lawmakers and others. Calls often come in to Trump’s personal cellphone, which he fought staff and his security team to keep. Rather than hold lengthy conversations on the unsecured line, Trump often calls people back on other lines, sometimes going through the White House switchboard.

Senators vouch for nominee’s criticism BY VIVIAN SALAMA AND KEN THOMAS Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump insisted Thursday that comments by his Supreme Court nominee criticizing his own attacks on the judiciary were “misrepresented,” even as Republican and Democratic lawmakers vouched for the veracity of the remarks. Trump responded after private rebukes from Judge Neil Gorsuch, who said in meetings with lawmakers on Wednesday that the president’s com-

ments about federal judges were “disheartening.” Gorsuch, who was nominated by Trump last week to the nation’s highest court, made the comments in meetings with senators after Trump accused an appeals court panel considering his immigration and refugee executive order of being “so political.” Over the weekend, he labeled a judge who ruled on his executive order a “so-called judge” and referred to the ruling as “ridiculous.” Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Con-

necticut first relayed Gorsuch’s remarks on Wednesday following a meeting with him. Trump’s own confirmation team for Gorsuch later confirmed he had made the remarks. But Trump said during a Thursday luncheon with senators that Blumenthal had misrepresented Gorsuch. “His comments were misrepresented. And what you should do is ask Senator Blumenthal about his Vietnam record that didn’t exist after years of saying it did,” he said.

Conway ‘counseled’ after promotion NEW YORK (AP) — The White House has “counseled” a top aide to President Donald Trump after she promoted Ivanka Trump’s fashion line during a national cable television appearance from the White House. But House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz says that’s not enough, calling what Kellyanne Conway did “wrong, wrong, wrong, clearly over the line, unacceptable.” The Utah Republican congressman said he will join with Democratic Oversight Leader Elijah Cummings to ask the Office of Government Ethics to review the matter. Chaffetz also said he will write a formal letter to the White House lodging his irritation. He said White House press secretary Sean Spicer’s remark that Conway has been “counseled” doesn’t go far enough. “It needs to be dealt with,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press. “There’s no ifs, ands or buts about it.” The ethics dustup began Wednesday with the president himself. Reacting to news that a department store had dropped his daughter’s line of clothing and accessories, Trump tweeted — and retweeted from the official presidential account — that Ivanka Trump had been treated “so unfairly by @Nordstrom.” Ivanka Trump does not have a specific role in the White House but moved to Washington with her husband, Jared Kushner, who is one of Trump’s closest advisers. She followed her father’s approach on business ties by handing over operating control of her fashion company but retaining ownership of it.

Trump visit unsure for dog show champ NEW YORK — For years, the champion at the Westminster dog show was treated to quite a victory lap: Visit the morning TV shows. Up the Empire State Building. Lunch at Sardi’s. Bark on a Broadway stage. Oh, plus another perk — a meet-and-greet with Donald Trump. It’s true. America’s top pooch and the man who would become president, together five times at Trump Tower. Puckering with Miss P the beagle. Petting little Banana Joe the affenpinscher. Posing on his knees with Hickory the Scottish sheepdog. “Who’s got better hair, him or me?” dog expert David Frei remembers Trump asking while admiring Malachy, a prize Pekingese. The trips began in 2010 with Sadie the Scottish terrier. Trump

once attended the show at Madison Square Garden to see a pal present her poodle, and the friend later helped arrange the merger between Westminster winners and the business giant. The next champ will be picked Tuesday night, with Preston the mop-like puli a huge favorite among the 2,800 dogs vying for best in show. So, will the custom carry over with President Donald Trump in his new office? Put that on paws, for now. “He’s a New York City institution and has always been a wonderful supporter of the show,” Westminster Kennel Club President Sean McCarthy said. “We hope Donald continues the tradition and invites the best in show and the agility champion to the White House.” The White House didn’t respond to questions about whether Trump would invite the winner to Washington. And there are signs the tradition is ending as Trump transitions to politics: CJ the German shorthaired pointer took the top award last February, but didn’t see Trump during election season.

Northeast hit by its biggest snowstorm BOSTON — The biggest storm to hit the Northeast this winter dumped a foot or more of snow along the New York-to-Boston corridor Thursday, turning roads treacherous, grounding flights and giving millions of people weather whiplash a day after temperatures soared into the 50s and 60s. Scores of accidents were reported as drivers confronted windblown snow and slick highways, with southbound Interstate 95 at the Rhode Island-Connecticut line closed in the afternoon because several tractor-trailers got stuck on an incline. More than 3,500 flights were canceled, and all planes bound for New York’s Kennedy Airport were ordered held on the ground at one point while crews cleared the runways. Schools closed in cities big and small, including New York City, Philadelphia and Boston, and government offices told non-essential workers to stay home. A doorman in New York City died after falling down a set of stairs and crashing through a plate-glass window while shoveling snow, police said. He suffered cuts on his neck and face. The National Weather Service said up to 11 inches fell in New York’s Hudson Valley by noon, while areas around New York City and Long Island received 6 to 9 inches. West Hartford, Connecticut, had more than 13 inches, and Ludlow, Massachusetts, 16½.

National Aviary shows off eagle owl PITTSBURGH — The National Aviary in Pittsburgh wants people to visit — and interact with — its baby Eurasian eagle owl. Bird keepers unveiled the owlet Wednesday so the public will come out for its “Baby Owl Encounter” that starts Thursday. Visitors will be able to hold and see the bird up close. Aviary officials are hoping that will help the bird become comfortable around people before it’s sent to a zoo. The 17-day-old bird weighs less than a pound, but will be about 10 pounds when it’s mature. The encounter program runs through March 26. A DNA test is being done to determine the bird’s sex. Once that’s known, aviary officials will name the bird.

Fraternity no longer can serve alcohol STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State has indefinitely halted fraternity and sorority parties where alcohol is available because of a student’s recent death and what the school calls growing allegations of hazing, sexual assault and other misconduct. The university announced Wednesday that Damon Sims, its vice president for student affairs, and the Penn State Interfraternity Council acted jointly to stop all alcoholrelated social activities “until further notice.” The decision followed the death Saturday of Timothy Piazza, 19, of Lebanon, New Jersey. Investigators said Beta Theta Pi fraternity members told them Piazza, a sophomore, was intoxicated when Piazza fell down a stairwell during a party late Thursday night. Police said members of the fraternity didn’t call for help until about 12 hours later. The fraternity has been suspended.

Deer runs amok inside supermarket MANCHESTER, Pa. — Pandemonium broke out at a southern Pennsylvania supermarket when a rogue deer smashed through its glass entrance and briefly ran amok. The doe burst into a Giant grocery store in the borough of Manchester on Monday, The York Daily Record reported. Once surprised shoppers figured out what the noise was, they worked together to wrangle the animal and force it outside. Robert Beck III, of Conewago Township, was in the store at the time with his wife. He said he heard a loud bang then people screaming “Deer!” He caught a glimpse of the animal as it scampered toward the bakery section.

House approves tax, regulation of contests JACKSON — The Mississippi House has reversed itself and passed a bill to regulate and tax operators of daily fantasy sports contests. House Bill 967 failed Wednesday, but it passed after a second vote Thursday. The bill would set an 8 percent tax and authorize the Mississippi Gaming Commission to regulate fantasy sports contests online or in casinos. Mississippi legalized fantasy sports contests last year and established a study group to recommend rules. Those recommendations are in the bill. Operators would have to undergo a background check, get a state license and be audited annually. They also would have to verify that people placing bets are at least 21. The bill moves to the Senate for more work. It passed the House without a proposed state lottery amendment that was rejected.

Men sentenced to work in shelter MOSS POINT — Two Mississippi men have been sentenced to jail and ordered to work in an animal shelter for taking part in the videotaped scalding of a cat. Police say the cat died after being doused with boiling water in December. The video was posted online. News organizations report 24-year-old Laderrick Rostchild was found guilty of aggravated animal abuse, and a Moss Point city judge sentenced him to six months in jail and a $2,500 fine. His uncle, 43-year-old Larry Rostchild, pleaded guilty to simple abuse and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. The judge also ordered each man to work 200 hours at the Jackson County Animal Shelter. A third person, 23-year-old Karmen Coleman, has pleaded not guilty to rendering criminal assistance.

3 accused of partying in dead man’s house DIAMONDHEAD — A Mississippi sheriff says three people broke into a dead man’s home and “threw a party.” Hancock County Sheriff Ricky Adam tells The Sun Herald that the intruders caused significant damage. Adam says the three men were still in the house when officers arrived on Monday. He says one of their friends is in charge of the house, but has been jailed on a drug charge, so “they kicked in the door and threw a party of their own.” The three — 59-yearold Carl Wynn III, 42-year-old Gabriel Maranell and 29-year

School to allow use of phones in class SUMMIT — Students at one southwestern Mississippi high school will no longer have to so secretive about having their smartphones out in class — at least during some lessons. The Enterprise-Journal of McComb reports that North Pike High School in Summit is launching a one-month pilot program in which students will be allowed to use their smartphones or other wireless devices in classes. Superintendent Dennis Penton says teachers will be able to incorporate the phones into lesson plans, but no student will be required to bring a phone. He says students will face consequences if they are accessing inappropriate content with the devices. Penton said the district’s cellphone policy and student handbook would be revised if the tryout is successful and the program is implemented for the next school year.

Surgery delays ordination of bishop BILOXI — The Roman Catholic Diocese of Biloxi will have to wait a little longer for its new bishop. Diocesan spokesman Terry Dixon announced Wednesday that Monsignor Louis Kihneman needs to have surgery to treat diverticulitis and must delay his planned Feb. 17 ordination. Kihneman, now a priest of the Diocese of Corpus Christi in Texas, was announced as Biloxi’s fourth bishop in December. He would take over as leader of 58,000 Catholics in south Mississippi from Bishop Roger Morin, who reached the mandatory retirement age of 75 nearly a year ago. Dixon says a new ordination date will be announced once Kihneman recovers from the colon condition. Before the pope named him, Kihneman

spent 39 years as a priest in Texas, rising to vicar general of the Corpus Christi diocese.

Bryant names Lamar to College Board JACKSON — Gov. Phil Bryant is naming recently retired Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Ann Lamar of Senatobia to the College Board. The 64-year-old Lamar replaces Karen Cummins, a trustee who died from cancer in January, representing the northern third of the state. Senators must confirm Lamar’s nomination to 12-member board, which oversees Mississippi’s eight public universities. She would serve the remainder of Cummins’ term, through 2021. Gov. Haley Barbour appointed Lamar to the Supreme Court in 2007, making her the third woman to serve there, and she won a full term in 2009. Lamar served as a circuit judge from 2001 to 2007, and earlier as district attorney in Desoto, Tate, Panola, Tallahatchie and Yalobusha counties. Lamar is the mother of Republican state Rep. Trey Lamar of Senatobia.

Hendrix not running for re-election JACKSON — Jackson City Council President Tyrone Hendrix is not going to run for re-election this year. Mississippi Association of Educators President Joyce Helmick announced Tuesday that Hendrix will be the group’s next executive director. The Clarion-Ledger reports that Hendrix confirmed in a Facebook post that he will not be running for a second term. He has served on the council for three years. The Mississippi Association of Educators is a state affiliate of the National Education Association, which represents 3.1 million educators, including teachers, education support professionals, higher education faculty and staff, school administrators, retired educators and students preparing to become teachers. Hendrix replaces Frank Yates, who retired after 14 years in the position.

Capital flees China A record $725 billion left China last year, and the outflows are likely to continue in 2017, the Institute of International Finance says. Chinese who built wealth during the country’s boom years have good reasons to pull money out of the country, notes Hung Tran, executive managing director at the trade association of financial companies. China’s economy has slowed for six straight years, reducing investment opportunities at home. Many expect the country’s currency, the yuan, to keep falling against the U.S. dollar and other currencies, putting a dent in

put pressure on the value of China’s currency, the yuan. China’s foreign exchange reserves $3.50 trillion

yuan savings. President Xi Jinping’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign gives some Chinese reason to get cash out of the country while they can. The outflows will come to $560 billion in 2017, the institute predicts. One reason they could remain high: U.S.- China trade tensions might prompt American companies to bring more profits back from China. The Chinese government has tried to stem the tide, putting new restrictions on outgoing money and spending some of its massive foreign exchange reserves to buy yuan in an effort to stop the currency from falling faster.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Local physician Robert McKinney, M.D. shares his story in Crossroads Magazine Medical Guide coming out on Saturday, Feb. 25. Watch for it and other stories about good health.

Spreading the love makes Valentine’s Day a delight D E A R ABBY: I have never received a romantic Valentine, and that’s OK with me. With Abigail all the sapmovies Van Buren py on TV and the stores Dear Abby blooming in pink and red, we often forget that St. Valentine wasn’t the one in love. (He was a Roman priest who married Christian couples and was killed for his trouble.) My advice to others, particularly singles, is to take a page out of St. Valentine’s book and focus not on yourself, but on others. Every year on Feb. 14 I give everyone I encounter a kiddie Valentine and, every year at least one person is delighted. I have been doing this for the last 20 years and my St. Valentine’s Days have been happy because of it. It’s amazing the difference that focusing on giving rather than receiving can make. (And it works any day of the year.) -KID AT HEART DEAR KID: I couldn’t agree more with your positive philosophy. Reading your letter lifted my spirits, and I hope it will bring a

smile to my readers as it did for me. Thank you for sharing. DEAR ABBY: I am wondering about the proper way to handle something. I found a dentist I really like and plan to continue seeing for regular cleanings. I asked my dentist to complete an estimate for orthodontic work, and the cost several thousand dollars. I got a few more estimates and found another company that can do the same work and will charge a lot less. I plan to go with the least expensive option. However, when I return to the dentist, I’m afraid it will be awkward or that I’ll be perceived as rude for not accepting their service bid. Help! -- WHAT’S RIGHT? DEAR WHAT’S RIGHT?: Talk to the dentist you like and tell him/her you received other estimates for the orthodontic work. Then ask if he/she can match the lower estimate. You may find the dentist is willing to do that. But if not, the dentist will understand that your budget is what dictated your choice to use someone else. That’s not rude; it is pennywise. DEAR ABBY: I am a 57-yearold male, married to a nice

enough lady, but I am no longer in love with her. We’re more like roommates. It has been like this for 15 years. I want to leave. In fact, I’ve planned it. But now I feel like, seven years away from retirement, maybe I could stick it out. The thing is, I don’t want to. My kids/grandkids are in another state, and I’d like to move there. Should the promise I made to my wife on our wedding day hold me back? -- TORN IN CALIFORNIA DEAR TORN: I’m sorry the flame of love has fizzled on your part. Does your wife know how you feel? If she doesn’t, you’re both overdue for a serious talk. Before tossing aside your long marriage, you should give marriage counseling a try to see if you can rediscover what attracted you to her in the first place. If that doesn’t work, a move for you may be in order. But first, a warning: If you leave their mother, the “kids” may not be as glad to see you as you might assume they will be. 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). Your allies and your adversaries are strong, and ultimately this is the stroke of good fortune that helps you to stay strong yourself. A worthy opponent is a great blessing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, something that pretty much never occurs naturally. For instance, your personal path will curve, switchback, pitch up and down -- but it’s all progress. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Why do you find it so much easier to be wise for others than for yourself? Because when you give advice, you’re not the one who has to follow it. But if you do choose to follow your own advice now, it will lead to fast success. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll celebrate the big events when they come up, but don’t wait for big events to celebrate. The silly, small events will be more memorable. Anyway, why do you even need a reason to

revel in all that’s good? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be making “notes to self” all day long. It will help you to write them down, or you’re likely to forget. You’re onto something; you just don’t know what it is quite yet. Look at what you’ve covered and where you’re going next. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No one will think any less of you if you stick to your values even when the cool kids are smoking in the bathroom (or whatever the grownup version of that is). Your integrity makes you more than cool; it makes you hot. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is better to try and fail than to do nothing and succeed. Take a chance. The more you risk rejection and emotional injury, the easier it gets. The easier it gets, the bigger your life becomes. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are things you’d like to do that never seem to fit into your schedule. That’s how you know that they are not really the important things. You always have time for what is truly important to

you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Big breakthroughs rarely come -- a few times in a lifetime for the lucky. Most accomplishments are the result of incremental efforts, building momentum by chalking up a little progress each day. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your friendships will open doors, bring out your best and bring you great joy. As Capricorn President Woodrow Wilson said, “Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What holds the skyscraper up is buried hundreds of feet deep in the ground; the taller the building, the deeper the foundation. Be patient with your own building process. You won’t show signs of height so much as depth. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is easy to mistake imagination for ego. Both tend to work in the language of illusions and distortions. Much depends on who is at the center of the fantasy.

Biggersville wins two on Sr. Night BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

With division play complete and seedings in their respective division tournaments already secured, Tishomingo County played Biggersville Thursday evening in a pair of contests at the Lions Den. (G) Biggersville 50 Tishomingo County 47 What is Tyleshia Davis’ value to the Lady Lions? Just ask Biggersville head coach Cliff Little or Tishomingo County head man Brian Middleton. You’ll get practically the same answer. “She is the difference for us most definitely,” said Little. “As she goes we go.” “Number 24 for them (Davis) is a player. We had no answer for her,” Middleton added.”When we keyed on her that left number 21 (Canaysia Barton) open for three-pointers and when we

finally got on her Davis was hurting us.” To prove just how important Davis is to Biggersville, BHS has won five of their last seven games with her back in the lineup on a regular basis after battling a knee injury earlier in the season. On top of that she single-handedly outscored Tishomingo County by herself in the first quarter and finished with a gamehigh 25. But the contest was not a breeze for either team. In fact, the game was within three to four points for a majority of the time. And not until Morgan Perkins’ shot from just under the basket didn’t have quite enough height to roll over the rim and through the net to put TCHS ahead did the Lady Lions put the game on ice with a couple of lastsecond free throws. It was definitely one of the closest games either team has

been involved in all season long. How close was it? Biggersville led 16-11 after one, 24-22 at halftime, and 40-39 entering the final period. Only twice did the Lady Braves manage to jump ahead by a single point but BHS had an answer each time to grab the lead back. Following Davis in the scoring department, Canaysia Barton had 10 points, including three 3-pointers, and Lisa Friar added eight. Perkins paced TCHS with 18, while Christian Bobo had 10 and Katie Powers scored seven. (B) Biggersville 71 Tishomingo County 62 Playing without senior stalwart Greg Davis due to a case of mono that may keep him out of action throught the division tournament, the Lions were still able to withstand a similar close game with the

Braves, finally pulling away late to win 71-62. “This win was huge for us even though it wasn’t a division game,” Little lamented after the game.”Greg is our defensive force and leader. He’s our rock and winning without him in the lineup was hard on the guys and I’m extremely proud of them.” Tishomingo County coach Craig Dailey has repeatedly said that if his team puts four quarters together in one night they will win more games. And they got off on the right foot Thursday night, leading Biggersville 19-16 after a quarter. The Lions were able to move ahead- if just barelyat the break as they were up 33-32 going into the second half. Another back-and-forth eight minutes ensued after intermission and BHS still Please see RECAP | 11A

Blackman and Bortles named All-SEC Ole Miss Sports Information

Today

Friday, February 10, 2017

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — With opening day for the 2017 Ole Miss baseball season just eight days away, infielders Tate Blackman and Colby Bortles were named Preseason All-SEC by the conference coaches. The two Rebels were selected to the preseason all-conference second team, the league office announced Thursday afternoon. A pair of team captains,

Blackman and Bortles have been mentioned as players to watch during the 2017 season. Bortles was named a Preseason All-American by Collegiate Baseball, while D1Baseball.com ranked the senior as the No. 12 third baseman in the country. D1Baseball.com also listed Blackman on its Preseason All-SEC list as well as the No. 23 second baseman in its national power rankings. Blackman had a break-

out season a year ago, hitting .322 to earn second team All-SEC honors. The Altamonte Springs, Florida, native started all 62 games at second base and put together 21 multi-hit contests. He also led the conference in sacrifice flies with seven, a mark that ranked 19th nationally. Blackman finished the 2016 campaign with 74 hits, 48 runs, 38 RBI, 13 doubles and three home runs. Through two seasons as

Retooled Cardinals seek postseason return The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — It was one thing for many people to predict St. Louis would finish behind the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central Division before last season. It’s another matter entirely for the Cardinals heading into this spring training, knowing they are indeed the team doing the chasing of

the defending World Series champions. The Cardinals head to Jupiter, Florida, also know they are once again considered only a contender — not a favorite — behind their archrival. “(Our motivation) is at an all-time high from a team standpoint after not making the playoffs last year,” longtime St. Louis starter Adam

Wainwright said. “It hurt.” Beset by injuries to both the pitching staff and lineup, St. Louis battled its way to an 86-76 record last season — one game back in the wildcard standings and outside the playoffs for the first time since 2010. St. Louis was second to Chicago in the Central, finishing 17 ½ games back. To

help close that gap, the Cardinals signed former Cubs center fielder Dexter Fowler to a five-year, $82.5-million contract in the offseason. St. Louis’ starting rotation is expected to receive a boost from the return of Lance Lynn. The right-hander missed all of last season Please see RETOOLED | 11A

Mangum, Rooker named to preseason Coaches All-SEC Teams Mississippi State Sports information

STARKVILLE — A pair of Preseason All-Americans are also now Preseason AllSoutheastern Conference team members as Mississippi State sophomore Jake Mangum was named to the first team, while junior Brent Rooker was placed on the second team. In the SEC Coaches Preseason Poll, the Diamond Dawgs were voted to a fourth-place finish in the

league’s Western Division with a total of 36 votes. As voted on by the league’s coaches, the 2017 preseason accolades continue to collect for the pair of MSU outfielders after they were named All-SEC performers following the 2016 season. As a freshman in 2016, Mangum collected the SEC batting crown, recording a league-high .408 batting average, in addition to being named SEC Freshman of the

Year, first-team All-SEC honors and recognition on seven All-America lists. Mangum spent the offseason playing summer ball in the prestigious Cape Cod baseball league for the Bourne Braves. During a stellar sophomore season, Rooker hit .324 with a team-high 11 home runs and 54 RBI in 2016. That performance earned him second-team All-SEC honors in 2016 and was followed by summer ball in the Cape

Cod League for the Brewster Whitecaps and thrived as he was named a CCBL All Star. Over 36 games, Rooker owned a .303 clip with eight doubles, three homers and 22 RBI. Fans can meet Mangum, Rooker and the rest of the 2017 Diamond Dawgs on Saturday, Feb. 11 at Fan Day. More information on the two events can be found here. Please see COACHES | 11A

following elbow surgery, and the Cardinals are counting on his return to help a pitching staff that saw its team ERA rise from an NL-best 2.94 in 2015 to 4.08 a year ago . Regardless of who has come and gone, though, St. Louis knows it’s an underdog this season in its own division. And the Cardinals are thriving on that position. “I think everyone’s coming in with a chip on our shoulders,” second baseman Kolten Wong said. “We’re ready to go. We know what the Cubs are bringing, you know what the Pirates are bringing and we know we got a pretty tough division again, so let’s get after it.” Some other things to watch as the Cardinals start on a path they hope leads to a postseason return:

On deck While Lynn has already been touted as fully recovered and ready to go after missing last season, the health of righthanded starter Michael Wacha will be watched closely this spring. The 25-year-old battled shoulder problems for much of last season, finishing a disappointing 7-7 with a 5.09 ERA, but he spent the offseason working to strengthen his upper body with hopes of return the form that produced a 17-7 record and 3.38 ERA in 2014.

terbury Tales, and chivalrous courtly love prevailed, alenStacy V tine’s Day Jones f i n a l l y became The Downtowner connected with romance, considering that the middle of February was also considered the beginning of the mating season for birds. Our American Valentine’s Day got its start in 17th century England when it was first celebrated there, and by the 18th century, it was commemorated by the sharing of tokens of affection. The printing press made way in the 19th century for printed Valentine’s cards. The day has certainly grown in American popular culture over time. According to the History Channel, roughly 150 million cards are exchanged each Valentine’s Day. It is second only to the Christmas holiday when it comes to sending out cards. Valentine’s Day card exchanges were, perhaps, one of the first remembrances of our childhood celebrations of the holiday, along with candy, which, of course, comes in after Halloween in terms of procurement of sweet treats. I can recall looking fondly toward buying packs of Valentine’s Day cards each year at Walmart, going home and penciling classmates’ names on them, ensuring that the best ones were apportioned to classmates I liked the most, and then hoping I received at least a few “favorable” ones when it came time for the switcharoo. Nowadays, it seems, Valentine’s Day has an even bigger stake in the world of adults than it was for us as children toting around our homemade boxes filled with printed Valentine cards. Many males—generally competitive by nature—feel compelled to outdo other males when it comes to their significant others. Those who never

According to the History Channel, roughly 150 million cards are exchanged each Valentine’s Day. It is second only to the Christmas holiday when it comes to sending out cards. think of sending along a single flower or a small, colorful sprig of flora suddenly order expensive, gargantuan vases of flowers—usually roses—to be delivered. Wouldn’t it be more logical to spread out some of that “love” over time instead, perhaps, by having smaller, less showy displays delivered periodically? Then there are those who aren’t sure how best to offer emblems of affection, thinking as men do, relishing more practical gifts such as tools and toolboxes. Thus, they venture to the store and purchase a practical gift for a Valentine—while it is a well-known and widelydispersed fact that women, by and large, abhor practical gifts. I know: I once received a hair dryer as a Valentine’s Day gift. Therefore, for those of the male persuasion, keep in mind to avoid the practical. For some, the practicality—or lack thereof— might even be worse than the gift I once received, as some women receive items such as vacuum cleaners for Valentine’s Day presents. I must say: at least I can use a hair dryer. A vacuum cleaner, though? For that, I have no use.

The world is full of poetry, much of it concerning love and the world of lovers. “If ever two were one, then surely we,” wrote Puritan poet Anne Bradstreet, “If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.” Shakespeare, however, takes a different approach, the speaker of his verse contrasting his woman against a world of fakes: “I think my love,” he says, “as rare as any she belied with false compare.” The speaker of a poem by early 20th century poet Amy Lowell asks, “Why should I leave you, to wound myself upon the sharp edges of the night?” Conversely, Irish poet W.B. Yeats is a bit harder-edged, less optimistic: “Wine comes in at the mouth,” he wrote, “And love comes in at the eye; that’s all we shall know for truth before we grow old and die. I lift the glass to my mouth, I look at you, and I sigh.” Of course, a little sentimental verse—or nonsentimental, depending on the case—may be fitting for this coming Tuesday, which is Valentine’s Day. It’s certainly a day that is high on the priority list for marketers, right in line with Christmas and Black Friday. Valentine’s Day, which derives its name after Valentinus, or St. Valentine, originated in the midst of both Christian and pagan traditions. The celebration of Lupercalia, a fertility festival dedicated to the Roman god of agriculture, Faunus, occurred during the ides of February on the 15th. It is believed around the time of Valentinus’ death, approximately 270 A.D., that the Christian church imposed the St. Valentine’s Day feast to replace the original pagan festival of Lupercalia. Ultimately, at the end of the 5th century, Lupercalia was outlawed by Christians, and February 14th was declared Valentine’s Day by the Pope. Later, in the Middle Ages, during the 14th century when Geoffrey Chaucer was writing his famous (and somewhat sordid) Can-

lethal injection drugs. House Bill 638 is a response to lawsuits filed by “liberal, left-wing radicals,” said House Judiciary B Committee Chairman Andy Gipson. The bill passed the House amid opposition Wednesday, and it moves to the Senate. Lethal injection is Mississippi’s only execution method. The state faces lawsuits claiming the drugs it plans to use would violate constitutional prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment. Mississippi hasn’t been able to acquire the execution drugs it once used, and it last carried out an execution in 2012. The state has 47 people on death row, and some have been there for decades. The 33 states with the death penalty all have lethal injection as the primary method of execution.

Review: Irreverence, affection click in ‘Lego Batman’ BY JOCELYN NOVECK AP National Writer

Turns out, Batman can take a joke. Hundreds, actually. It’s not the simplest thing to take a character as embedded in our culture as Batman and make wickedly irreverent fun of him while simultaneously paying tribute to his storied past and keeping him likable for the next round. If a kids movie can do all that AND get in a perfectly placed clip from “Jerry Maguire” — and you know which one we’re talking about — well, then, you had us at hello, “Lego Batman Movie.” The laughs at the Dark Knight’s expense start early in director Chris McKay’s manic romp of a movie — in the first seconds, actually, with a very

husky Christian Balelike voice opining on the importance of starting a superhero movie with a black screen. That gruff voice again belongs to Will Arnett, expanding on a supporting role in the popular 2014 “Lego Movie” (clearly this self-important superhero was not pleased with a mere supporting role). Arnett’s Batman is not a happy guy, weighted down as he is by a limitless sense of self-grandeur. Since nobody can do what he does, he has to do everything alone. And one, as the soundtrack tells us, is the loneliest number. Sure, the bat cave is amazing — but what’s a superhero to do after a long day saving Gotham? He comes home to a few trivial pieces of

mail — one of them a coupon for Bed, Bath and Beyond. His only companion is his computer voice (voiced by Siri, of course!) His loyal butler, Alfred (a silken-toned Ralph Fiennes), has left some Lobster Thermidor to heat up in the microwave. Alone in his cavernous abode, he munches on his crustaceans, plays a little solo guitar, and watches one of his favorite chick flicks, er, movies — yup, “Jerry Maguire.” We all know that Jerry ends up with a family at the end, but will Batman ever have a family to, um, complete him? A photo of young Bruce Wayne and his ill-fated parents is a sad reminder of his childhood. Batman is being challenged on several fronts.

First, old nemesis Joker (Zach Galifianakis, delightful), is up to his usual destructive mischief. But there’s something else Joker craves, even more than flattening Gotham: recognition. He wants to be Batman’s ONLY bad guy. Thing is, Batman’s just not that into him. “I don’t do ’ships” — meaning relationships — he says. “I like to fight around.” Even worse: “Batman and Joker are not a thing.” Joker is devastated. Then there’s Barbara Gordon (Rosario Dawson), Gotham’s new police commissioner. She’s highly qualified — heck, she graduated from “Harvard for Police” — and has sensible ideas about fighting crime. After all, she points out, Gotham is

still crime-ridden. Maybe relying on a masked vigilante savior isn’t the best strategy; it’s gotta be a team effort. Batman does NOT like this idea. Meanwhile, two key people are trying to soften Batman up, in a personal sense. One is Alfred, attempting to bring out the emotions he knows are there somewhere. (A highlight for us old folks is when Alfred reviews the many iterations of Batman over the years, including a precious blackand-white clip of Adam West in the ’60s.) And young orphan Dick Grayson (the future Robin, voiced by Michael Cera) manages to get Batman to adopt him — inadvertently. Gradually, our superhero warms to the idea of being a dad.

To a point, anyway. The essential struggle of the movie (besides the constant battling of returning criminals — too many to mention — and defusing of apocalypse-threatening bombs, of course) is Batman’s struggle with his own loneliness, and his thorny path toward accepting the help — and companionship, and maybe even love — of others. Will he get there? Perhaps that’s obvious. But the fun comes in seeing how it all clicks together. “The Lego Batman Movie,” a Warner Bros release, is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America “for rude humor and some action.” Running time: 104 minutes. Three stars out of four.

When life gets you in a stranglehold Working out in my backyard recently I decided that I would clean out some a r e a s that have needed attention for a long time. ng Gary theB e iproAndrews crastinator that I Devotionals am I have absolutely allowed vines too grow and bushes to go unattended for too long. Any of you who are familiar with the kudzu vine know that this vine will take a hold of bushes, trees and hillsides and grow like crazy. It takes in anything that gets in

its way and will put a stranglehold on some bushes and take the life out of them. As I was trying to cut or pull it away from a bush I realized that this vine is a lot like sin. When our life is not being properly cared for and we are just going along in life not caring about what is going on around us, we find ourselves in a similar situation that this bush was in. Staying in the company of the wrong people and allowing their influence to take hold of us instead of us influencing them, will take away our Godgiven talents and any Christian witness that we have. So many times I have

Suggested daily Bible readings: Sunday – Luke 16:9-13; Monday – Isaiah 40:28-31; Tuesday – Titus 2:11-15; Wednesday – Exodus 14:14; Thursday – Matthew 16:24-28; Friday – Jeremiah 17:9-10; Saturday – 1 Peter 4:7-11 seen good people get sucked into worldly activities and allow their Christian desires and knowledge to settle into the background. They are literally getting the life choked out of them because of their in-

ability to recognize what is going on. They find the way of the world to be attractive and keep a desire and need for that type attention. Our attention span becomes cloudy and soon we are only thinking about what is good for me and the situation I am in. People around me do not matter and it doesn’t matter who gets in the way. I am going over top of them to get what I want. Good Christian people get attached to these type conditions and their Christian witness becomes null and void to the people who need it most, and that is the people around them. When we realize what

has happened to us we need to remember what the prophet Isaiah tells us in Isaiah 41:10, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” All of us understand what kudzu can do to a bush and when I was cleaning, cutting, and pulling the vine away from my bush, I realized the bush was dead and I had to cut it down. Life is like this bush when covered with sin and until we realize what is happening to us, we are letting sin have a stranglehold on us until we realize that God is in control and we are His child.

He will cleanse and take care of us if we ask Him to and He will forgive out transgressions. Don’t be a procrastinator and put off doing what is right and wholesome for your life. Take off the wrap of sin that has engulfed you and cast it away. Christ is only a prayer away and is eagerly awaiting your call. Prayer: Father God, you are a great and mighty God. Thank you for being a merciful God and helping me when I am in life’s lowest times. Amen. (Gary Andrews is the author of Encouraging Words: 30-days in God’s Word.

There’s nothing new and God never changes on us at all The other day my younger son complained that he felt like the project he was working on was just “spinning his wheels” and not really accomplishing anyLora Ann thing. I underHuff stand the feeling! As Back Porch a woman and a wife and mother, I seem to do the same things over and over, just to do them over again in a few minutes or a few days. I sometimes find myself agreeing with King

Solomon when he wrote in Ecclesiastes 1:5-9: “The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again. All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. What has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” (NIV) Whew! I’m exhausted from reading it! Later in Chapter 3, Sol-

omon encourages us by saying that God has made everything beautiful in its time and placed eternity in the hearts of mankind. He says we cannot comprehend what God does from the beginning to the end but that everything God does will surely endure forever. Later on, the man of wisdom has found that we should be happy in our work because it is a gift from God – as we work, we find joy and gladness of heart and fulfill the purpose of our life. He says that whatever our hands find to do, we should do with all our might. Then at the end of the book, Chapter 12, verse 13

reads: “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His commandments - for this is the whole duty of man.” (NIV) I know I’m rambling in my writing today, but lately I’ve been really bothered by how we seem to do the same things over and over in our personal lives while the world around us seems to be going crazy. So many events and ideas don’t make sense, and some people are so easily deceived. I pray that all of us will come to a better understanding of truth vs. fiction, of good character vs. bad, of pride vs. humility.

The only thing I know to do is keep the faith and do what I personally am called to do as I throw my hands in the air and say, “Lord, there’s nothing new under the sun, but what You do is eternal so have Your way. Please!” I’m reminded of one of my favorite songs written by Don Moen, which says, “When it’s all been said and done, there is just one thing that matters – Did I do my best to live for truth, did I live my life for You? When it’s all been said and done, all my treasures will mean nothing; only what I’ve done for love’s reward will stand the test of time... For You’ve shown me heav-

en’s my true home, when it’s all been said and done - You’re my life when life is gone…” … So regardless of what goes on around us, God is still on His throne. He still cares for us and desires that we live for Him and trust Him with the outcome. We may think we’re “spinning our wheels” while the whole world is going crazy, but He makes our efforts worthwhile and He can set the world in order. Lora Ann Huff is a Wenasoga resident.

Russian man builds church of snow for village without chapel Associated Press

SOSNOVKA, Russia — A village in Siberia that did not have a church until this winter is getting a lesson in faith and life’s ephemeral nature.

Sosnovka resident Alexander Batyokhtin spent nearly two months building a village church entirely out of snow. The structure will vanish with the season.

Batyokhtin worked on the chapel every day, even when temperatures plunged below -22 Fahrenheit. He used 424 cubic feet of snow to make it. Batyokhtin says the work

wasn’t difficult. His biggest challenges were fashioning the altar and a cross for the roof. “The main thing is to say a prayer and keep a fast for some

time, then just go and do it,” he says. Sosnovka administrator Yuriy Kirsh says the church “means a lot to our hearts and souls” despite being temporary.

Dear Annie: I am a 69-year-old man who, until now, only read your column periodically. Each time I read your advice to someone, I would say to myself, “Hmm, that’s really good advice.” I never ever thought that I would need to write to you. Well, now I am eating those words. In late August, I lost the most important person in my life to inoperable pancreatic cancer. My wife was diagnosed in June 2014, and despite the fact that the cancer spread to three additional organs, she fought back. This amazing woman refused to let the cancer win. She went on with her life, and even though she received chemo and radiation therapy on a regular basis, as well as numerous medications, she refused to give in. I drove her to every doctor’s appointment and every radiation and chemotherapy appointment, as well as all over the country as we searched for clinical trials. However, after two-plus years, her fragile body could fight no longer, and she died in my arms. The reason I am writing to you is that I am a total mess. Friends and family are calling me to come to dinner. I don’t want to be around people as I grieve; I prefer to be alone all of

Dear Annie the time. Our house is just as it was on the day she died because I simply can’t part with her things at this time. Yet seeing these things sends me into pain and sobbing sessions that may last for hours. I have completely lost faith in everything, and I don’t trust professionals. I have joined several grief support groups, but I do not find solace in them yet. My wife and I spent 50 years of our lives together. She was my best friend, my soul mate and my only love. Without her, I feel empty and incomplete. Although people keep telling me that things eventually will get better, I have my doubts. I am trying to take care of myself and to do the things I believe she would want me to do if she were still alive. The only thing I really have difficulty doing is sleeping. I would appreciate any advice you can offer. — Neil Dear Neil: I know that nothing I say can reduce the enormity of your loss — that my response may come across as cliched or maybe even a little hollow — because in the face of such grief,

words look ridiculous and small. Still, I must say, with all of my heart, that I am so sorry for your loss. In these times of deep grief, turn to the memories you and your wife shared. Let them warm you through the night like a blanket. They are eternal. No one can ever take those away from you. Your wife lives on in your heart. Let her strength help you through this. Be patient with yourself and permit yourself to grieve as long and as deeply as you need. But it sounds as if your wife was an amazing fighter, and she would want you to fight — to be strong, to wring as much joy and happiness out of life as you possibly can, every single glorious day on this earth. You are blessed to have friends and family who want to lift you up. When you are ready, you will let them. One day, someone close to you will find himself in this same unfathomable situation, and your friendship will be his saving grace. Think how proud your wife would be to see you spread that love.
