Two brothers die in house fire BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Two brothers were found dead following an early morning fire Thursday. The bodies of James Copeland and Jerry Copeland were discovered by Corinth firemen after a fire was extinguished at the home they shared. An autopsy to determine cause of death on the two men is set today in Jackson. Firefighters responded to 912 Second Street around 12:30 a.m. Flames were visible from the rear of the white vinyl home when they arrived. “At this time the cause has yet to be determined,” said Corinth Fire Chief Billy “Lucky” Briggs as the state fire marshal was on the scene investigating just after 10 a.m. Thursday. Once the fire was extinguished the two bodies were found in the back of the home, according to Detective Capt. Ralph Dance. “They both appear to be in their 60s, but as of now we do not have a date of birth on either,” said Dance. “We are waiting for the family to come forth with that information.” The Corinth Police Department was called after firemen found the two men. “Any time there is a death in the city, we get the call,” added Dance. “I hope to hear from the autopsy Friday, then we will know how to proceed.”

Mississippi has a lot to offer. Information on everything to see and do is available in the state’s official tour guide at the Alcorn County Welcome Center. Published by the Mississippi Development Authority’s Tourism Division along with the Mississippi Tourism Association, the magazine-style cover features over 200 pages of tourist attractions in the state. “The guide is totally different than last year,” said the welcome center’s Debbie Ryan of the free magazine. “It has something for everyone and just about everyone who comes in has picked one up.” Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman is on the cover of the annual magazine. Corinth is highlighted in the Hills Region on Page 22 of the guide. “Corinth, with its picturesque downtown filled with beautiful architecture, is home to the Civil War Interpretive Center and

After a recent focus on signing up people at events such as the county basketball tournament, the campaign is shifting to door-to-door neighborhood visits to get the job done. Supporters of the effort to land C Spire Fiber to the Home service gathered Thursday to refine their game plan moving forward. Corinth’s numbers have shown little movement recently: The north section is at 8 percent of the required number of signups for C Spire to launch the service; the central section is at 2 percent; and the south section is at 1 per-

The price of a student lunch will rise at the beginning of the next school year in the Corinth School District. The board of trustees on Monday approved an increase in the price from $2.25 to $2.50 as the district complies with requirements of the National School Lunch Program, the federally assisted meal program that provides low-cost or free lunches to students. The program wants the paid price to get closer to the amount the district is reimbursed for a free lunch. Superintendent Lee Childress
said the increase should cover a couple of years. In October, the district served 6,218 paid student lunches — about 40 percent of all lunches served — generating $14,000. In other business: ■ The board said farewell to Missy Woodhouse, whose last regular meeting as a trustee was Monday evening, ending three terms and 15 years with the board. “We certainly appreciate everything she has done,” said Childress. “We have certainly made some advances over the last 15 years.” The new appointee to the seat, Becky Null, attended the
meeting to observe. Her term begins in March. ■ In personnel matters, the board approved Rebecca Northcutt as CHS librarian, April Kennedy as a CMS cafeteria worker, Megan Joyce as a kindergarten teacher assistant, and Phyllis Capps and Amanda Nicole Barton as bus drivers. Joshua Matthews and Megan Joyce will serve as substitutes for classrooms, cafeterias and student workers. The board accepted the resignation of CMS cafeteria worker Sara J.

Dunavant focuses on school violence
Friday, February 14, 2014
FIBER CONTINUED FROM 1A
For the Daily Corinthian
District Attorney General Mike Dunavant is working with law enforcement officers, school principals and guidance counselors to combat school violence by identifying warning signs among teens. The efforts are part of a proactive initiative by the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference to help community leaders keep schools safe amid continued national incidents of juvenile violence. The conference hosted a “Protecting Our Children: Proactive and Prepared” seminar on Jan. 29 in Nashville, where Phil
“We often deal with juvenile violence that could have been avoided if someone had known what to do.” Guy Jones Deputy director Chalmers, a nationally recognized expert on teen violence, trained attendees on how to help teens in trouble while keeping schools and communities safe. “Training sessions and
resources from the conference keep us updated on what’s happening nationally that could have an impact here at home,” said Mike Dunavant, District Attorney General for Lauderdale, Tipton, Fayette, Hardeman, and McNairy counties. “We do everything we can to help our police officers and school officials take action and prevent the same kinds of tragedies we see on the news from happening here.” Attendees at the seminar learned how to identify gang and cult practices, spot danger signs among teens like obsessions with violence and weapons,
and what to do to keep teens safe and get them any necessary help. “We often deal with juvenile violence that could have been avoided if someone had known what to do,” said Guy Jones, deputy director of the conference. “We want to equip the community with the tools they need to turn a potential teen killer into a teen who gets help.” If anyone has questions about the seminar or how to identify warning signs among teens, please contact the local district attorneys’ office, call 615-741-1696 or visit www.tndagc.org for more information.
tra-fast Internet are not getting through to everyone in the city. “I think there’s still a lot of people that don’t realize what fiber is, what it’s going to do for them, and also what it’s going to do for their community,” said Putter Hamlin, market manager for C Spire. “It benefits the individual, but it also benefits the community as well from the standpoint of economics.” Corinth’s door-to-door campaign will utilize students with iPads in hand, wearing C Spire fiber T-shirts and identification badges.

organizers are hoping for some warm Saturdays in the next few weeks to help make a big push. The small town of Quitman, with a population of about 2,300, recently signed up 158 people in one day on a Saturday, said Hamlin. While there is no deadline to reach the target numbers, C Spire has said it will eventually open up registration to other cities. Among the questions that have surfaced is whether a customer’s yard will be torn up during installation. The answer: Lawn intrusion is minimal. The $10 deposit to sign up is either applied to the first bill or refunded if the service doesn’t happen. Those who sign up during this preregistration phase will not pay an installation fee.

A majority of the great places to eat, shop, play and stay are included. “Something new this year is the About Town section which has ads from different areas in the state,” added Ryan. According to Ryan, the usual pullout map in the magazine was replaced by the About Town section. Tours of some famous movies made in the state is also a fresh item added.

Today in history Today is Friday, Feb. 14, the 45th day of 2014. There are 320 days left in the year. This is Valentine’s Day.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 14, 1924, the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co. of New York was formally renamed International Business Machines Corp., or IBM.
On this date: In 1014, Henry II was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in Rome by Pope Benedict VIII. In 1778, the American ship Ranger carried the recently adopted Stars and Stripes to a foreign port for the first time as it arrived in France. In 1859, Oregon was admitted to the Union as the 33rd state. In 1895, Oscar Wilde’s final play, “The Importance of Being Earnest,” opened at the St. James’s Theatre in London. In 1903, the Department of Commerce and Labor was established. (It was divided into separate departments of Commerce and Labor in 1913.) In 1912, Arizona became the 48th state of the Union as President William Howard Taft signed a proclamation. In 1929, the “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre” took place in a Chicago garage as seven rivals of Al Capone’s gang were gunned down. In 1979, Adolph Dubs, the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, was kidnapped in Kabul by Muslim extremists and killed in a shootout between his abductors and police. In 1989, Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini called on Muslims to kill Salman Rushdie, author of “The Satanic Verses,” a novel condemned as blasphemous. Ten years ago: Twenty-eight people were killed when the glass-and-concrete roof of an indoor water park in Moscow collapsed. Five years ago: Savoring his first big victory in Congress, President Barack Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address to celebrate the just-passed $787 billion economic stimulus bill as a “major milestone on our road to recovery.”

Circus elephant returns The Associated Press
TUPELO — A circus elephant is coming back to Mississippi, nearly a year after being injured in a drive-by shooting. Carol, a 39-year-old Asian elephant, spent several weeks recovering at a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus farm in Springfield, Mo., after the April 9, 2013, shooting outside BancorpSouth Arena in Tupelo, Miss. The animal was shot in the shoulder.
No arrests have been made but the case remains open. Circus spokeswoman Melinda Hartline tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that Carol will return as a part of the Super Circus Heroes show. The new show will run from April 3-6. Hartline says Carol has been back performing, “doing what she loves” and there were no second thoughts about bringing her back to Tupelo.

Letter to the editor
Cochran comes through again on Farm Bill To the Editor: It goes without saying that people are cynical about government and are tired of programs that don’t work. People are tired of elected officials with a lack of experience making policy when they don’t know the difference, for example, between a Remington 1100 and a Government 1040. Mississippi, and our great nation, recently saw the benefits of a U.S. Senator with a vast amount of experience who is often referred to as a “voice of reason” in the U.S. Senate. He has earned something that is, quite frankly, rare, in Congress. It is called respect. I am referring to Thad Cochran. He has earned that by listening more than talking, recognizing the needs of others, being reasonable, being honest, being fair, making his points clearly and relating them to others. He is genuine, passionate about whom he represents and cares more about what is right than popular. He is a brilliant individual who has done a great job surrounding himself with a staff consisting of the same. The Farm Bill, which he was one of the primary architects, was signed by the President this past Friday. Cochran led the way so the bill received strong bipartisan support and cut billions of dollars from conservation and forestry spending along the way and still resulted in the best conservation and forest policy our Nation has ever had – and I have worked on farm bills for 22 years. Many people don’t realize that the Farm Bill is our nation’s largest investment in voluntary conservation. While it is obvious that this investment results in healthier lands and waters, it also means we will have better rural economies and communities. Our nation is fortunate to have the fine service of Thad Cochran. His fingerprints in making government do a better job of serving the people in the most cost-effective manner were easily seen in this bill. But his job in doing so was still a very difficult one. Due to the need to reduce spending, tough decisions had to be made. Many years ago, Senator Cochran said of his late administrative assistant, Wiley Carter, “...he reminded all of us that one of our highest priorities was to help solve the problems of the people of our State and to treat everyone who called on us with respect and courtesy.” This philosophy guides Senator Cochran and his staff. When I had the opportunity of a lifetime to serve on his staff, I don’t remember listening to a constituent about a bad program. Although I am no longer on his staff, I am constantly called about asking the Senator to support some funding increase for some important program. In someone’s eyes all programs are important to some people. But our country, and our Senator, can’t fund all of them. He has a detailed understanding of the federal budget, from defense to agriculture to commerce to education, and he understands the balances necessary in spending. His vast experience is so important. Senator Cochran is to be commended for his superb work on the 2014 Farm Bill. He worked together with all of those involved, listened to people about what worked and what didn’t work, cut spending and ended up with better policy. That took skill. Our nation has a lot of tough decisions to make. All elected officials should follow the model that Senator Cochran used on this bill. If they do, our great State and Nation will be the better for it. James L. Cummins
Prayer for today Loving Father, may I not fall to nodding in the balmy air of luxury and miss the messages of love. Arouse me, that I may give and take in the treasures of love as they come my way, and that they may not pass unnoticed. Amen.

All other Letter to the Editor rules apply for Sound Offs.
Senate campaign to compare ‘grassroots,’ ‘astroturf’ politics While watching what is shaping up to be a bitter and bloody U.S. Senate campaign in Mississippi, it’s important that state voters not lose sight of the fact that in the name of “grassroots” politics they are going to bear witness to a lot of folks selling “astroturf.” In politics, “astroturfing” is to true “grassroots” politics what “astroturf” is to real grass. It’s fake grass with fake roots. As noted in prior columns on the subject, the current U.S. Senate campaign in Mississippi is the target of “astroturf” groups and super PACs (political action committees) on an unprecedented scale. State voters have already seen the handiwork of such highsounding groups as Club for Growth, Senate Conservatives Fund and FreedomWorks – groups that funnel whopping sums of PAC money into attack ads against primarily incumbent Republicans. In Mississippi, these outside groups have doubleddown on state Sen. Chris McDaniel, R-Ellisville, in his bid to “primary” incum-
bent Mississippi GOP U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran. Why? Because CoSid Salter chran has committed Columnist the unpardonable sin of thinking for himself and not allowing his every vote to be dictated by libertarian talking heads and because Cochran read the part of the Constitution that balanced the power of the U.S. president to direct spending with that of Congress to do the same thing. Why? Because Cochran refuses to engage in the politics of the temper tantrum with votes to “shut down the government” every few months when policy negotiations get tough. Why? Because Cochran used his vast influence to bring $29 billion in hurricane relief to the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina? In what has become cookie-cutter campaigns, these “astroturf” groups have gone after veteran Republican members of Congress
not with the idea of winning general elections, but with the idea of winning Republican primaries. Veteran Indiana GOP Sen. Richard Lugar was a victim of these groups and they succeeded in helping Indiana state treasurer Richard Mourdock unseat him in the 2012 primary. Then, Indiana Republicans watched the slowmotion train wreck that became Mourdock’s general election race against Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly, who was elected when Mourdock self-destructed in part because longtime Indiana Republicans were disgusted by the tactics of the “astroturf” groups in demonizing Lugar in the Republican primary. One interesting development in Mississippi is the fact that supporters of Cochran among Mississippi’s Republican rank-and-file decided not to take the outof-state “astroturf” group attacks lying down. They formed their own “Mississippi Conservatives” super PAC to turn some of the same harsh tactics being heaped on Cochran by the
out-of-state groups on McDaniel. Call it homegrown “astroturf.” It’s unfortunate that Republican primaries have degenerated into battles over ideological purity fought in great measure on premises that are totally false. But there is one group out there that just loves the current crop of Republican internecine feuds – it’s a group called Democrats. Even in Mississippi – where Democrats are one healthy Attorney General Jim Hood away from being totally skunked in trying to win statewide office – they take heart at the fact that the Mississippi Republican U.S. Senate primary is shaping up to be one that is fought to a scorched earth conclusion. In Indiana, it’s unlikely in the extreme that Democrat Joe Donnelly alone could ever have unseated the GOP from the stranglehold they had on Lugar’s old seat – that it, of course, without the direct assistance of the Indiana GOP.

Putin’s Sochi Olympics little more than a vanity project If there were an Olympic competition for gross expression of authoritarian egotism, Russian President Vladimir Putin would win the gold medal going away. His Sochi Olympics are a vanity project joined to the blundering power of the Russian state. Only a leader drunk on his own power would insist on transforming a tiny subtropical resort town (average February temperature: high 40s) into the site of the Winter Olympics, and only an unaccountable political system would let him get away with it. It is the misfortune of Russia to have both. Let the games begin. The scale of the construction involved has been gargantuan. And so has the corruption. When Russia won the games in 2007, it said it would spend $12 billion on them; it only underestimated by roughly a factor of five. Russian expert Leon Aron of the American Enterprise Institute notes that the 28 miles of highway and railway linking Sochi to the nearby mountains has cost more than $8 billion, enough to pave the roadway with mink furs. The building spree was in the tradition of Peter the Great’s creation of the new capital of St. Petersburg out

of nothing in the 18th century, or Josef Stalin’s forced industrialization in Rich the early Lowry 20th. In other words, National developReview ment by diktat. The rapid construction spawned the shoddy work that went viral on Twitter as #SochiProblems: Brackish drinking water (although that’s the norm for too many Russians). Missing manhole covers. A bathroom door that locked a bobsledder inside. It is about what you would expect if a strongman ruling by whim demanded just-intime delivery of a new city from graft-addled construction companies ruthlessly exploiting migrant labor. For Putin, any cost, and any means, was worth it. Like the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, these games are priceless political propaganda. By securing them, Putin also bought the tacit cooperation of the global media, which might scoff at the glitches and tsk-tsk at his regime’s anti-gay discrimination, but at the end of the day will always
“oooh” and “aaah” at the spectacle of it all and accentuate the positive. The opening ceremonies inevitably delivered a potted, whitewashed version of Russian history (anything approaching accuracy would be too dark and disturbing). NBC Sports gently played along. A narrator for the network called the Revolution of 1917 “one of modern history’s pivotal experiments,” a euphemism that makes the ascension to absolute power of a grim, murderous ideology sound as innocuous as Thomas Edison fiddling with prototype light bulbs in Menlo Park. When during the ceremony a little girl let go of a red balloon to symbolize the end of communism, Meredith Vieira said it represented “the end of the 20th century dream” and called it “a bittersweet moment.” After all these decades, communism is still the totalitarianism with the best PR. Gazing over the spectacular pageantry was the all-powerful maestro of the games. Evidently, no detail was too small. One of the bearers of the Olympic torch during the opening ceremonies was Alina Kabaeva, a rhythmic gymnast who once won an Olympic

gold medal but whose real accomplishment is being romantically linked to Putin. That was enough to earn her a place of honor among a select few of Russia’s top athletes, including tennis star Maria Sharapova. Assuming no terrorist attack or other catastrophe, the games will suit Putin’s purposes nicely. He needs triumphs on the world stage to distract the Russian public from the country’s oligarchic government, its meltdown in public health and its economic dysfunction. International legitimacy and prestige aid the cause of his misrule, and the International Olympic Committee is happy to provide them by the bucketful. It is appearances that matter most in these Potemkin games. When one of the five Olympic rings failed to materialize during the opening ceremonies, Russian TV viewers saw a doctored version with all five rings immaculately displayed. Vladimir Putin willed it, and it was so. It is good to be czar. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com)

Facebook adds gender options MENLO PARK, Calif. — You don’t have to be just male or female on Facebook anymore. The social media giant has added a customizable option with about 50 different terms people can use to identify their gender as well as three preferred pronoun choices: him, her or them. Facebook said the changes, shared with The Associated Press before the launch on Thursday, initially cover the company’s 159 million monthly users in the U.S. and are aimed at giving people more choices in how they describe themselves, such as androgynous, bi-gender, intersex, gender fluid or transsexual. “There’s going to be a lot of people for whom this is going to mean nothing, but for the few it does impact, it means the world,” said Facebook software engineer Brielle Harrison, who worked on the project and is herself undergoing gender transformation, from male to female. On Thursday, while watchdogging the software for any problems, she said she was also changing her Facebook identity from Female to TransWoman. “All too often transgender people like myself and other gender nonconforming people are given this binary option, do you want to be male or female? What is your gender? And it’s kind of disheartening because none of those let us tell others who we really are,” she said.
Senate debt vote shrouded in secrecy WASHINGTON — Financial markets were watching, the retirement accounts of millions of Americans on the line. Nervous senators were watching too, well aware that political for-
tunes could be on the line. So on perhaps the most important vote of the year, the Senate did something extraordinary this week: It tried to keep the vote tally secret until the outcome was assured. As lawmakers voted Wednesday on mustpass legislation to increase the government’s debt limit, they dropped the parliamentary equivalent of a curtain on the voting as it was in progress.
Doctor convicted of waterboarding GEORGETOWN, Del. — A Delaware jury convicted a pediatrician Thursday of waterboarding his companion’s daughter by holding the child’s head under a faucet. The jury deliberated for about six hours before returning its verdict against Melvin Morse, 60. Morse was charged with three felonies, two for alleged waterboarding and one for alleged suffocation by hand. He was convicted of one felony — waterboarding in the bathtub — and five misdemeanors. Morse did not show any immediate reaction after the verdict. He could face several years in prison. Sentencing was set for April 11.
Talking to babies early in life helps WASHINGTON — The sooner you start explaining the world to your baby, the better. That doesn’t mean flash cards for tots, or merely pointing out objects: “Here’s an orange. That’s a bowl.” New research shows that both how much and how well parents talk with babies and toddlers help to tune the youngsters’ brains in ways that build crucial language and vocabulary skills — a key to fighting the infamous

word gap that puts poor children at a disadvantage at an even younger age than once thought. The idea is to connect words and meaning, so the brain becomes primed to learn through context: “Let’s put the orange in this bowl with the banana and the apple and the grapes.” “You’re building intelligence through language,” is how Stanford University psychology professor Anne Fernald explains it. “It’s making nets of meaning that then will help the child learn new words.”
Bill seeks warnings on sugary drinks SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California would become the first state to require warning labels on sodas and other sugary drinks under a proposal a state lawmaker announced Thursday. SB1000 would require the warning on the front of all beverage containers with added sweeteners that have 75 or more calories in every 12 ounces. The label would read: “STATE OF CALIFORNIA SAFETY WARNING: Drinking beverages with added sugar(s) contributes to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay.” Democratic Sen. William Monning, who proposed the bill, said there is overwhelming research showing the link between sugary drinks and those health problems, adding that the wording was developed by a national panel of nutrition and public health experts. The bill has the backing of the California Medical Association and the California Center for Public Health Advocacy. “The goal of the warning quite simply is to give consumers the right to know what are well-established medical impacts from consuming these beverages,” Monning, from Carmel, said in a telephone interview.

Teen pleads guilty to killing stepsister BILOXI -- Authorities say 19-year-old Jonathan Ian Morales has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the fatal shooting of his 13-year-old stepsister. The Sun Herald reports Morales faces up to 20 years in prison at his May 5 sentencing in the slaying of Sadie Warden. Morales pleaded guilty Monday in Harrison County Circuit Court before Judge Lisa Dodson. Morales was 17 when he called 911 on May 30, 2012, and said Sadie was the victim of a drive-by shooting. He gave police a description of the shooter and the vehicle. The girl was shot in the back of her right shoulder and died of a gunshot wound to the chest. Police went to the scene, then began looking for a drive-by shooter until Morales’ friend told them Morales shot her.
Bills aim to restrict union activities JACKSON -- Mississippi senators want to restrict some union organizing and picketing practices, as well as local laws that might benefit workers. The Republican-led Senate passed three bills Thursday on mostly party-line votes. The bills now go to the House. Senate Bill 2473 says that it’s illegal to coerce a business into staying neutral in a union drive or allowing workers to choose union representation by signing cards instead of by secret ballot. Businesses could sue anyone who engaged in coercion Another measure says workers can’t engage in mass pickets that block entrances or damage property. A third measure, Senate Bill 2797, says cities and counties can’t force contractors to use union labor. Supporters say that bill also bars localities
from forcing contractors to pay wages higher than the federal minimum.
Fake bills found in Calhoun County BRUCE -- Law enforcement officials in Calhoun County say counterfeiters are passing bogus $100 bills in the Bruce area. Investigators tell WCBITV that four fake bills have turned up recently at stores and utility offices.
McHenry man faces woods arson charges WIGGINS -- A 28-yearold McHenry man has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of felony woods arson. The Hattiesburg American reports Hal B. Broadus was charged with three separate woods fires, two in Stone County and one in Harrison County, that burned approximately 30 acres and threatened several homes. If convicted, Broadus faces a 1-2 year state penitentiary sentence and/or a $200-$1,000 fine.
Lauderdale County identifies remains MERIDIAN -- Lauderdale County investigators say skeletal remains have been identified as
a woman who had been missing since last July. Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun says DNA testing showed the remains were those of Cynthia LeFlore. The woman was last contacted her family on July 18, 2013. Calhoun says an autopsy will determine the cause of death. LeFlore’s body was found last Friday off Old Highway 19 South in a wooded area where workers were planting pine tree samplings. Investigators found bones scattered over a large area. Some articles of clothing were found in the area as well.
Hancock shelter will re-open today KILN -- The Hancock Animal Shelter is hoping to get back to normal by Friday after what’s been a difficult week. The Sun Herald reports an unknown illness forced the shelter to close for more than a week. Director Toni Accardo says the staff is still searching for answers. Originally, she said, it was believed to be “dog flu” or canine influenza that infected up to 39 of the dogs at the shelter, but after results came back inconclusive from the state, she said multiple illnesses may have hit simultaneously.

Caxton Doggett LAKE JUNALUSKA, N.C. — A memorial service for Robert Caxton Doggett, 98, was held Saturday, January 18, 2014 at the First United Methodist Church of Waynesville with Bishop Charlene Kammerrer and Reverend Sanford L. Giles Officiating. Reverend Robert Brown of Coronado Beach UMC will conduct a graveside service in June at Doggett Edgewater Cemetery, New Smyrna Beach, Fla. Mr. Doggett died January 13, 2014 at his residence in Lake Junaluska, N.C. He was born on April 23, 1915 in Kossuth. He was the oldest of the six children of Bob and Jennie May Doggett, who in the midst of the Great Depression by selfsacrifice and hard work sent them all through college. After graduating from Millsaps College in Jackson, where he was editor of the campus newspaper, he enrolled in Yale Divinity School. An outstanding student, he won academic awards and the praise of famed theologian, Richard Niebuhr, while at the same time working for the Associated Press and the New Haven Journal Courier to pay his way through school. He preached his class graduation sermon in 1939 and again at their 50th reunion. After graduation Caxton joined the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church. In 1940 he courted
and married “Miss Florida” Rebecca Ashton. He served as pastor of ten churches over the next forty years except for 1945-1950 when he directed student work at the UMC Board of Missions in New York City. Churches served were Coronado Beach, Concord Park (Orlando), Mount Dora, Rader Memorial (Miami), Winter Park, First Church Lakeland, Hyde Park (Tampa), Melrose Park (Ft. Lauderdale), Arlington (Jacksonville), Community (Daytona). A man of courage and a force for justice, Caxton championed Civil Rights causes in Florida. Although reared and educated in rural Mississippi, he grew to become chaplain of the Miami chapter of the NAACP, president of the Florida Council on Human Relations, and aide to Thurgood Marshall in the notorious Groveland Boys rape case. Also, as president of the Miami Chapter of the United Nations Association, he received a personal letter of thanks from Eleanor Roosevelt for his advocacy of the fledging UN. Later he stepped forward to bridge his denomination’s gender gap by receiving as his associate, Florida’s first female UMC pastor, Charlene Kammerrer, now a retired UMC Bishop. Vigorous and passionate, Caxton had a romantic’s love of poetry which he could recite from memory and opera which he played until losing his hearing. He also competed intensely at tennis and bridge, winning numerous tournaments in each. Caxton is preceded in death by his adored wife, Rebecca “Becky” Ashton Doggett, of New Smyrna Beach, Fla. He is survived by his daughter, Maurine Doggett (spouse Jim Thacker) of Elkins Park, Philadelphia, Penn., his daughter Abigail Doggett Bordeaux (spouse David H. Doggett Bordeaux) of Atlanta, Ga., his four grandchildren and his four great-grandchildren. Also surviving are sisters Maye Evelyn Rogers and Karolyn Cain of Columbus Mississippi, and brother, Thad Doggett, of Denver, Colo.

Drake finished with magazine interviews NEW YORK — Drake says he won’t do interviews with magazines following a recent story in Rolling Stone magazine. The rapper was supposed to be on the cover of the magazine’s new issue, but was replaced with the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Drake tweeted Thursday that he’s “done doing interviews with magazines.” “I just want to give my music to the people,” he wrote. “That’s the only way my message gets across accurately.” Other Thursday tweets

Empire Mine tunnel tourism project nixed GRASS VALLEY, Calif. — After spending $3.5 million, California has scrapped a plan more than two decades in the making to turn a legendary Nevada County gold mine into a tourist destination. Officials recently an-

As many as one-third of the beams installed to support the horizontal tunnel intended to take tourists into the mine may have been weakened by corrosion, state parks officials said. The determination followed a 2012 inspection report by the state fire marshal. The Department of Parks and Recreation said it could cost $1.4

‘Artists in the Schools’ Corinth Elementary School third grade students tapped into their creative side when Jennifer LeGoff and her Corinth High School art students led the students in a special art activity on Jan. 29.  This event, called “Artists in the Schools,� is organized each year by LINK for the schools in Corinth and Alcorn County. The high school art students taught the third graders about the difference between warm and cool colors and then demonstrated how to use these contrasting colors to create a landscape scene. The students used brightly colored pastels to create their own works of art.
JACKSON — The Mississippi House on Thursday advanced a proposal to ban abortions after 20 weeks, the midpoint of a full-term pregnancy. House Bill 1400 passed on an 89-22 vote, and the bill moves to the Senate. Exceptions would be made to prevent permanent physical damage or death of the pregnant woman, or in cases of several fetal abnormalities. The House rejected a proposal to make exceptions for pregnancies caused by rape or incest. The most recent Health Department statistics show 2,176 abortions were done in Mississippi in 2012. Two were listed at 21 weeks or later, and 382 were listed as unknown gestational age. Diane Derzis, who owns Mississippi’s only abortion clinic, told The Associated Press this month that the proposed change wouldn’t affect the facility, Jackson Women’s Health Organization. She said the facility stops doing abortions after 16 weeks, and before an abortion is done, a sonogram is per-
formed and the patient is told the gestational age of the fetus. Derzis said she’d expect someone to file a legal challenge if a 20week ban becomes law. Several states have a 20-week ban, including Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. In January, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Arizona’s attempt to revive a 20-week ban that was blocked by a federal appeals court. The appeals court ruled that the Arizona law violates a woman’s constitutionally protected right to terminate a pregnancy before a fetus is able to survive outside the womb. Viability of a fetus is generally considered to start at 24 weeks. “We need this bill to protect the unborn who cannot speak,� Judiciary B Chairman Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, said as he explained the bill to the House. Rep. Adrienne Wooten, D-Jackson, repeatedly questioned Gipson why the bill would not make exceptions for children who are impregnated through rape or incest. “That child has been stigmatized and has
been told they are not to tell anyone,� Wooten said, speaking of sexual abuse. Rep. Toby Barker, R-Hattiesburg, who described himself as “prolife,� offered an amendment that to make exceptions for pregnancies caused by rape or incest, saying he can’t imagine what it’s like to be a woman or a victim of sexual abuse. “I think there are situations where people struggle through it and there’s some gray area,� Barker said of unplanned pregnancies. Gipson said the amendment would result in an expansion of abortion and “an unknown number of lives being lost in the most cruel manner.� Barker responded: “I’m not going to turn this into some sort of litmus test to how pro-life someone is.� The House rejected Barker’s proposal, with 73 voting against it and 40 for it. More than half of the abortions reported in Mississippi in 2012 — 1,121 out of 2,176 — were done at under nine weeks’ gestation.

Oxford High to host open house Associated Press
OXFORD — After nearly five years of planning, raising funds and construction, the community will get its first chance to tour the new $30 million Oxford High School next week. OHS will hold a community open house Feb. 18 at the new high school in the Oxford Commons area. The event will begin at 5 p.m. with a dedication ceremony in the cafeteria, followed by guided tours of the school. The public is welcome to attend. “I would like to thank the community for their continued support of our students, teachers and staff,� said Brian Harvey, superintendent for the Oxford School District. “This new school is not the only evidence of that support, but it is a tremendous testament to this community’s commitment to all of our children.� The new high school is the jewel in the crown of a massive capital improvement program that’s been taking place in the Oxford School District. School leaders began the building program in response to the rapid rise in student enrollment that has occurred in the OSD during the past decade. Several of the existing schools have been, or will be, renovated as part of this building program. As part of the overall funding package for the capital improvement project, voters in the Oxford School District supported a bond issue in
2011. A ground-breaking ceremony for the new high school was held in September 2012. The new high school replaces the existing high school, which was built more than half a century ago. Work is just getting underway to transform the former high school into a new middle school. The new high school welcomed students through its doors on Jan. 7. The state-of- the-art facility features flat screen TVs in each room, larger classrooms, two-story wings, energy efficiency windows and more. “We’re so thankful for the opportunity to show our gratitude to the community for the building of this new high school,� OHS principal Mike Martin said. “We can’t wait to show off some of the new technological advances that enhance our educational process,� Martin said. “Our new building has expanded our horizons in technology. The sky is the limit.� Many parents have only heard about all of the amenities the new high school has to offer, but next week they will get a chance to have a guided tour of their children’s new fortress of education. “After hearing bits and pieces about the new high school I am really excited to see it,� OHS parent Theresa Holley said. “My daughter, who is a junior, and her friends are so excited about it.� As with most construction projects, the building

of the new high school has had setbacks. The original completion date was Nov. 30, 2013, but construction did not reach substantial completion until New Year’s Day. As the district’s Christmas break concluded, all was ready for students at the new high school except the gymnasium. Originally, the gym was to be finished by the time of the open house, but Harvey said the bleachers have taken longer than expected to be put together, which delayed the painting and sealing of the gym floor. “The construction company has gone over the date of completion and we will deal with that in time,� Harvey said. “The painting of the floor is a 13-day process and by the time of the tour it would not be cured long enough for people to walk on it. We will be touring the gym, but we will not be able to go onto the bottom floor.�
NEW ORLEANS — A federal appeals court has cleared the way for thousands of workers to be compensated for medical treatment for exposure to crude oil or chemical dispersants during the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ action Tuesday involves a settlement approved by a federal judge in January 2013 between BP, workers and some coastal residents from specified beachfront and wetlands areas who said they were injured or sickened during the spill cleanup. Objections by some members of the settlement class were withdrawn over the past year, resulting in the formal dismissal of appeals. The medical settlement is separate from a larger economic damages settlement, which remains the subject of an appeal. Among provisions in
GRACE, FAITH, AND WORKS (3)
Salvation is a gift from God, and we access this gift through our faith. So teaches Ephesians 2:8-9, the basis for our discussions in our February columns. Today we are talking about faith. When we, like the exemplar Abraham, are “fully convinced� that what the Lord promises He is willing and “also able to perform�, such becomes the valid motivation for our obedience (Romans 4:20-21). Since true faith comes and is strengthened by the proper study of God’s Word (Romans 10:17; II Timothy 2:15), it is, to say the least, that major “first step� toward God’s saving grace. However, faith that motivates obedience must move us beyond mere belief in His existence, even beyond belief in His eternal power, to an absolute trust in His nature as a “rewarder of those who diligently seek Him� (Hebrews 11:6) That being said, I feel compelled to add that no verse in the New Testament teaches we are saved at the very moment we believe, or by faith alone. James was also speaking about Abraham’s faith when he said “faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect� (James 2:22). Two verses later James said a “man is justified by works, and not by faith only�(verse 24). Please note that this is the only verse in the Bible which mentions “faith only,� and it clearly says we are not saved by it. Please consider also Hebrews 11:30: “By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.� Perhaps every VBS student remembers the story of how God gave the city of Jericho to the Israelites (Joshua 6). God’s instructions included marching, shouting, and blowing ram’s horns--nothing typically associated with (or causation for) knocking down a wall. Question: How did the Israelites receive the gift of Jericho? “By faith!� you correctly answer. But was it at the very moment they believed or “after� their faith moved them to obey the Lord’s instructions? The answer is clear! “By faith� we are saved. This no one can deny! But does that mean at the very moment we believe, or “after� our faith moves us to obey the Lord’s instructions for the forgiveness of sins? Again, the answer is clear! (Acts 22:16) CLEAR CREEK CHURCH OF CHRIST Minister: Duane Ellis Mail comments to: 2 Sunnywood, Corinth, MS 38834
the medical settlement are programs providing cash payments for physical conditions associated with exposure to oil, such as respiratory problems, skin rashes and neurological issues; comprehensive medical evaluations once every three years for 21 years; and procedures under which covered workers or residents who develop spill-related illnesses in the future could file suit for compensatory damages. Members of the affected class have a year from Wednesday’s effective date to file claims. Neither side estimated the potential monetary value of the settlement. It was unclear how many people might be eligible but the plaintiffs have estimated the number could reach 200,000. BP said the medical settlement also provides
$105 million for groups working to increase the availability of health care in 17 affected Gulf Coast counties and Louisiana parishes. Company spokesman Geoff Morrell said in a news release the settlement resolves a substantial majority of medical claims stemming from the Deepwater Horizon accident. “It’s been a long four years, but now hundreds of thousands of people will finally get the medical care and compensation they need,� attorneys Stephen Herman and James Roy, who represent plaintiffs in the Gulf oil spill litigation, said in a joint statement. The April 20, 2010, blowout of BP’s Macondo well killed 11 workers and spewed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf.

Campbell Soup has been struggling to boost sales of its prepared soups and other products. The trend comes as consumers increasingly reach for foods that they feel are fresh. The company, due to report fiscal second-quarter earnings today, has taken steps to branch out into other areas, including the acquisitions of Bolthouse Farms juices and Plum Organics baby food.

Dear Readers: Happy Valentine’s Day to one and all, along with our special good wishes to the veterans in VA hospitals around the country. And our particular thanks to those readers who have taken the time to send valentines, visit the vets and volunteer at VA facilities. Bless each and every one of you. Dear Annie: Thirty years ago, my husband’s sister-in-law made a pass at him. They worked at the same place, so when he turned her down, she made his life a living hell. He ended up quitting the job, and we left town. She and my brother-in-law are divorced now, but we see her occasionally at family gatherings. This woman has been hospitalized twice for breakdowns. Most of the family is cordial to her, knowing that a lot of what she did in the past was due to her illness. When her meds are working and she is feeling stable, she reaches out to those she has hurt to make amends. She reached out to my husband, tearfully admitting that she knows she is the reason we left, and has asked for forgiveness. She now thinks everything is just fine. The problem is, she has never reached out to me to apologize for the way she upended my life. She doesn’t know my husband told
Annie’s Mailbox me what happened. Even after all these years, I have a hard time smiling and pretending everything is hunky-dory. I have forgiven her, but forgetting is something else, and every time I see her, the old anger comes back. My husband agrees that nothing would be gained by bringing these things up again. Any suggestions for moving past this in a positive way? -- Wronged but Silent in Wisconsin Dear Wronged: You haven’t actually forgiven her, because her presence still makes you angry. If you believe an apology from her would make a difference, you should calmly let her know. But if you don’t think it matters one way or the other, please consider talking this through with a professional who can help you let go of the past completely. Dear Annie: We have 5-year-old twins. We enrolled them in a swimming class last year. Our son had a bad experience and didn’t want to continue. Our daughter, however, loved it and is doing
great. After a couple of months, our son decided to return to classes. (We think he was jealous of his sister’s achievement.) Naturally, he is a level behind her. He now cries and wants to be on her level. We think it would be unfair to hold our daughter back for a while so her brother can catch up. However, if we do hold her back, we can enroll them in semi-private lessons together, saving money as well as transportation time. It also solves the problem of our son’s jealousy. Should we do it? -- Swimmers Parents Dear Parents: As a general rule, it is never a good idea to force kids to accomplish anything at the same speed, moving them forward and back so one isn’t jealous of the other. This is a recipe for a lifetime of craziness and resentment. If you wish to put both children in the same class because you want to save money and time, that is a different issue and certainly justifiable. If the lessons are semiprivate, your daughter should be able to move ahead at her own speed, which is not the same as holding her back.

Wife’s devotion to husband stops outside the church door DEAR ABBY: About a year ago, my husband, “Scott,” started attending church. He had never gone in the few years we dated. We discussed our feelings about religion before we became engaged. He comes from a family that attended church every Sunday and believes in God. I was raised the exact opposite; I’m an atheist. I told Scott that if we had children, I would be OK with him taking them to church, but I would not join them. It bothered him a little, but we talked it over and moved on. After a difficult year that led to some mild depression (for which Scott sought help), he started going to church. I was happy for him because it seemed to help him. After a few weeks he asked me to go with him. I went several times, but felt uncomfortable. I feel like a fraud sitting in the pew. Scott says he “wants my support” and that means attending with him. I suspect he’s embarrassed to be there without his wife. I do not enjoy it. I have been offended by some of the messages that were imparted, and I would prefer having a couple of hours to myself on Sundays. Abby, what should I do? Is there any middle ground here? -- FEELING COERCED IN SAN DIEGO DEAR FEELING COERCED: Tell Scott that you are happy he has
found comfort in going to church, but that you are not comfortable with what is being preached and Abigail find some of offensive. Van Buren itRemind him that church Dear Abby attendance was not part of your agreement when you married him and that you value your solitary time at home the same way he appreciates the service. While you might relent and go with him on major holidays -some non-believing spouses do that -- there really isn’t a middle ground, and because you feel so strongly about it, you should stand yours. DEAR ABBY: I am the mother of two girls. One of them has a lot of emotional problems. My husband is gone for months at a time due to his job. I have told him many times that I want him to find another job that would have him home more often. He always says that there are no jobs that will pay what he’s making now. I know that we need a goodpaying job, but I need my husband home and my girls need their father. With all of our daughter’s issues, everything falls on my shoulders and I don’t feel I
can handle it alone much longer. We don’t live near family, and I have found it hard to make friends due to my daughter’s acting out. How do I get my husband to understand? -- MARRIED SINGLE MOM DEAR MOM: I understand how stressful it must be to have all the responsibility for raising your daughters on your shoulders. And feeling as isolated as you do only intensifies your feelings. If your husband doesn’t already understand what you are going through, I doubt there is much you can say that will convince him to quit his lucrative job and help with the children. Because he is gone so much -- and making good money -- consider moving yourself and your daughters closer to your family so you can have some respite when you need it. And in the meantime, find a therapist for yourself. Perhaps your daughter’s doctor or your personal physician can recommend one. DEAR READERS: Largely because of you, writing this column is a labor of love for me, and I would like to wish you all a very Happy Valentine’s Day! -- ABBY (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Along with love go hope and luck. The people you extend your heart to will get your best wishes and intentions. These are more than thoughts in the air. They can be felt. They have power. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You like the kind of love that makes you feel puffed up and invincible, and yet you’ll find that the very best kind of love is the kind that humbles you and makes you want to be a better person. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Cupid’s aim is illogical, but no matter -- the heart has its own logic. You can’t direct the trajectory of your heart any more than you can improve the archery skills of a small baby with wings. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You tell yourself many things, and most of them you believe. But someone else shows you sweetness today that trumps any nice thing you’ve said to yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There
are reasons for why you are attracted to a certain person. There is no such thing as skindeep beauty. The muscles beneath are activated by emotions, thoughts and the yearnings of a heart. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The best gift you will give is a gift to someone who will never be able to repay you. The second best gift is to a loved one who is inclined to make you happy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can think and act independently -- that much has been proved. It’s a tribute to your love that you’d rather not. Things are much more fun when the two of you make decisions together these days. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The French author Andre Maurois said, “In literature, as in love, we are astounded by what is chosen by others.” That will be half of the fun today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Maybe it’s the lazy way, or maybe it’s the fearless, honest and direct way -- the jury is still out. But the way that appeals to you most now is to simply say “I love you.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Everyone you love makes you laugh. They do it unexpectedly and yet consistently. You’ll try to return the favor today and succeed with flying colors. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may not be entirely sure of what you’re getting into, but you are surely getting into it. As artist, writer and creativity champion Lynda Barry observed, “Love is an exploding cigar we willingly smoke.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). One Kenny Rogers song suggests that “love will turn you around, turn you around.” And that is the country music interpretation that will nicely sum up your experience on this day of hearts.

Chicago groups clash over Obama library bid Associated Press
CHICAGO — Barack Obama’s journey from community organizer to lawmaker to president was also a journey through several different Chicagos, from the city’s isolated and neglected Far South Side to its elite centers of political and social power. So it’s perhaps no surprise that the contest to host his presidential library has set off some classic Chicago infighting between activists in depressed neighborhoods and wealthy universities. The library is “such a prize that nobody is going to yield power to anybody else,” veteran Chicago political analyst Don Rose said. The squabble puts Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s former chief of staff, in the difficult position of trying to present a single, unified bid, lest the feuding weaken the city’s odds against rival campaigns to put the library in New York or Hawaii. No fewer than six potential Chicago bids have emerged, each backed by different interests. The main point of tension is between the University of Chicago, where Obama spent 12 years as a constitutional law professor until his 2004 election to the U.S. Senate, and a group advocating for Bronzeville, the city’s historic center of black culture, business and politics.
“Just sticking it out in a field somewhere and thinking that it will be an economic-development engine, it does not work.” Skip Rutherford Who oversaw planning for the Bill Clinton Presidential Center and Park in Little Rock, Ark. “They think that they can get whatever they want,” Bronzeville organizer Harold Lucas said of the university. “If you compare the cranes in the sky and that opulent growth of this university to the surrounding, predominantly African-American community, it’s a travesty. It’s a clear tale of two cities.” Lucas and other critics of the university’s bid say the school has been secretly working its White House connections at the expense of a plan that would benefit more of the city and honor the black community’s role in electing the nation’s first black president. For its part, the university says it wants to work with neighbors on a plan to build the library off-campus in a part of the South Side where it can spur development. A university spokesman declined to comment beyond the school’s previous statements. Lucas argues that the library would have more economic
punch in Bronzeville, where it would be closer to downtown and where the city has repeatedly sought to launch largescale redevelopment, most recently by buying up land as part of an Olympics bid that ultimately failed. One of those plots, a lakefront site once home to the Michael Reese Hospital, remains undeveloped and would be perfect, Lucas said. It would also boost efforts to preserve historical landmarks and develop tourism, he said. Bronzeville resident Christina English was showing two friends from Cleveland around the neighborhood Friday, admiring the immaculate brownstones lining Martin Luther King Drive and stopping at a popular lunch spot. Emanuel, who is leaving nothing to chance despite his own Obama connection, announced in a newspaper interview last month that he wanted a single bid for Chicago.
Lucas said Bronzeville will go around the mayor and take its appeal directly to the president. There are also two potential bids on the Far South Side, one led by Chicago State University and the other by a group promoting the historic Pullman neighborhood. It was in those areas that Obama established his earliest roots in the city as a community organizer in the mid-1980s, setting up job training programs and defending the rights of public housing tenants. The University of Illinois at Chicago, on the Near West Side, is also taking a shot, as is a realestate developer pushing the former U.S. Steel Corp. site on the southeast lakefront. The Far South Side is a longshot given its distance from downtown, lack of transportation options and the gang violence that persists there. And presidential libraries aren’t guaranteed to lift the local economy. “Just sticking it out in a field somewhere and thinking that it will be an economic-development engine, it does not work,” said Skip Rutherford, who oversaw planning for the Clinton Presidential Center and Park, which helped transform a highcrime area of Little Rock, Ark. The Clinton library achieved that in part by choosing a site next to the most heavily traveled interstate in Arkansas and one that was within walking distance
of the state’s largest convention center as well as hotels and restaurants. The $160 million project has resulted in more than $2 billion in additional development around an old warehouse district, Rutherford said. Presidents sometimes let emotion overrule reason and select library locations that are sentimental to them — like a remote birthplace, for example — over sites that would sustain larger numbers of visitors and have a bigger impact, Rutherford said. Besides being the official repository for presidential records and artifacts, the libraries often have presidential centers that serve as vehicles for ex-presidents to promote new policies and projects on the national and international stage. Because Obama is leaving office at age 55, he will have potentially decades to pursue such initiatives, and he may choose a location that best suits that mission. About a week ago, Obama supporters officially launched a foundation to develop the library. The foundation leader, Marty Nesbitt, is a close Obama friend from Chicago. According to Nesbitt, Obama wants a library that reflects his values and priorities, including expanding economic opportunity, promoting peace and dignity abroad and inspiring the ethic of American citizenship.
Huge thermal plant opens in Nevada as industry grows small production sites are under construction or being planned, particularly across the sun-drenched Southwest. The opening of Ivanpah is “a dawn of a new era in power generation in the United States,” said Rhone Resch, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association, a trade group. “We are going to be a global leader in solar generation.” The plant’s dedication comes as government continues to push for development of greener, cleaner power. President Barack Obama has mounted a second-term drive to combat climate change, proposing first-ever limits on carbon pollution from new and existing power plants. His plan aims to help move the U.S. from a coal-dependent past into
a future fired by wind and solar power, nuclear energy and natural gas. According to U.S. Energy Information Administration data, the cost of building and operating a new solar thermal power plant over its lifetime is greater than generating natural gas, coal or nuclear power. It costs a conventional coal plant $100, on average, to produce a megawatt-hour of power, but that figure is $261 for solar thermal power, according to 2011 estimates. The figures do not account for incentives such as state or federal tax credits that can affect the cost. Ken Johnson, a spokesman for the solar association, said in a statement that solar systems have seen “dramatic price declines” in the last few years. That’s good for utilities

in California, which must obtain a third of their electricity from solar and other renewable sources by 2020. The Ivanpah site, about 45 miles southwest of Las Vegas, has virtually unbroken sunshine most of the year and is near transmission lines that carry power to consumers. Using technology known as solar-thermal, nearly 350,000 computer-controlled mirrors roughly the size of a ga-
rage door reflect sunlight to boilers atop 459-foot towers. The sun’s power is used to heat water in the boilers’ tubes and make steam, which drives turbines to create electricity. While many people are familiar with rooftop solar, or photovoltaic panels, “these are a little bit different. This takes the sun’s rays and reflects them onto towers,” said NRG spokesman Jeff Holland. The plant can be a startling sight for drivers
heading toward Las Vegas along busy Interstate 15. Amid miles of rock and scrub, its vast array of mirrors creates the image of an ethereal lake shimmering atop the desert floor. In fact, it’s built on a dry lakebed. Google announced in 2011 that it would invest $168 million in the project. As part of its financing, BrightSource also lined up $1.6 billion in loans guaranteed by the U.S. Energy Department.

PRIMM, Nevada — A windy stretch of the Mojave Desert once roamed by tortoises and coyotes has been transformed by hundreds of thousands of mirrors into the largest solar power plant of its type in the world, a milestone for a growing industry that is testing the balance between wilderness conservation and the pursuit of green energy across the American West. The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, sprawling across roughly 5 square miles of federal land near the CaliforniaNevada border, formally opens Thursday after years of regulatory and legal tangles ranging from relocating protected tortoises to assessing the impact on Mojave milkweed and other plants. The $2.2 billion complex of three generating units, owned by NRG Energy Inc., Google Inc. and BrightSource Energy, can produce nearly 400 megawatts — enough power for 140,000 homes. It began making electricity last year. Larger projects are on the way, but for now, Ivanpah is being described as a marker for the United States’ emerging solar industry. While solar power accounts for less than 1 percent of the nation’s power output, thousands of projects from large, utility-scale plants to

Geno comes up big in Georgia win Associated Press
STARKVILLE — Dealing with a 14-point deficit and a bad case of the stomach flu, the Georgia Bulldogs looked like they were in trouble. But thanks to Charles Mann, Juwan Parker and the unlikely Kenny Paul Geno, Georgia rallied for a surprisingly lopsided 75-55 victory over Mississippi State on Wednesday night at Humphrey Coliseum. Mississippi State took an early 22-8 lead, but Georgia responded in a hurry, taking a 28-27 lead by halftime and pushing its advantage to 23 points at one point late in the second half. Georgia shot 17
“Half of Booneville was here. It was cool to come out after warmups and see everybody in red.” Kenny Paul Geno Georgia freshman of 23 (73.9 percent) from the field in the second half, picking apart Mississippi State’s defense with crisp passing and a soft touch around the rim. Mann led the Bulldogs with 19 points, Parker added 16 and Geno had a careerhigh six points during a crucial rally in the first half. “I thought we were much
more organized in the second half and we were very unselfish,” Georgia coach Mark Fox said. “We made plays for other people and it led to easy baskets.” Fox said more than half of the team was dealing with varying degrees of the stomach flu over the past few days. Mann was one of the few that stayed healthy, and

NEW YORK — Arkansas coach Bret Bielema and Alabama coach Nick Saban voiced their concerns about the effects of up-tempo, nohuddle offenses on player safety to the NCAA committee that passed a proposal to slow down those attacks. Neither Bielema nor Saban were on the committee and they did not vote on the proposal passed Wednesday to allow defenses time to substitute between plays by prohibiting offenses from snapping the ball until 29 seconds are left on the 40-second play clock. NCAA coordinator of officials Rogers Redding says Bielema was there as a representative of the American Football Coaches Association. Saban had asked for the opportunity to speak to the committee.
he carried the team, adding six rebounds and five assists. Georgia couldn’t have started the game much worse. The Bulldogs needed more than six minutes to make a field goal, missing their first eight attempts. Georgia (13-10, 7-4 Southeastern Conference) is now tied with Mississippi for third place in the league. The Bulldogs meet the Rebels on Saturday in Athens, Ga.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Sindarius Thornwell scored 19 points and South Carolina broke a five-game losing streak to Vanderbilt with a 6559 victory Thursday in a game delayed a day by a winter storm. The Gamecocks (915, 2-9) have only won twice in the Southeastern Conference, both times in games when the campus was closed because of snow in the South. The other victory was over Texas A&M on Jan. 29th, the day after winter weather snarled traffic and coated lawns. Duane Notice’s 3-pointer with 13:59 left put South Carolina ahead for good. Thornwell added a 3-pointer moments later to start a 17-5 run as the Gamecocks took control. Brenton Williams added 14 points for South Carolina and Notice 10. It was the second straight loss for Vanderbilt (13-10, 5-6). Kyle Fuller led the Commodores with 20
points. Freshman center Damian Jones had 16 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high seven blocks for Vanderbilt. The Gamecocks held Vanderbilt’s top scorer, reigning SEC player of the week Rod Odom, to 3-of-9 shooting for 10 points, five fewer than his season’s average. South Carolina moved in front 58-45 on Brian Steele’s fast-break finish with 3:58 to go. Vanderbilt put together a final charge with seven straight points to draw within 58-52 on Odom’s 3-pointer. But Thornwell added a foul shot and a bucket to restore the big margin and South Carolina closed things out. The snow-delayed, mid-afternoon game brought a middle-school feel to the 18,000-seat arena.

Plushenko retires after injury in Sochi Olympics Associated Press
SOCHI, Russia — From wild cheers to stunned silence, the Sochi Olympics said goodbye Thursday to one of figure skating’s alltime greats. Evgeni Plushenko, the first figure skater in the modern era to win medals in four Olympics, retired from competitive figure skating shortly after withdrawing from the men’s competition for medical reasons. The Russian said he injured himself during practice on Wednesday, then fell on a triple axel during warmups Thursday. When Plushenko limped out of the arena, the cheering stopped, eventually turning into mild applause.
Plushenko’s announcement came hours after an Olympic worker was injured when he was hit by a bobsled near the finish line at the Sanki Sliding Center. He was taken by helicopter to a local hospital. Six medals were awarded on Day 7 of the Olympics: in slopestyle skiing, cross-country skiing, biathlon, speedskating, short track speedskating and luge. In the first final of the day, the U.S. freestyle skiers swept the podium in slopestyle, with Joss Christensen leading the way in his Olympic debut. Germany completed a sweep of the four luge events by winning the team relay; Justyna Kowalczyk of Po-
land, skiing with a fractured foot, won gold in the women’s cross-country 10-kilometer classical race; and Li Jianrou of China won gold in 500-meter short track speedskating after all three of her opponents in the final fell. FIGURE SKATING: The 31-year-old Plushenko is the only modern-era figure skater to win medals in four different Olympics. He helped Russia win the team gold over the weekend. He also won figure skating gold in 2006 and silver in 2002 and 2010. Plushenko said he said it felt “like a knife in my back” when he fell on a triple axel during Thursday’s warmups. “I think it’s God saying, ‘Evgeni, enough, enough with
skating,’” said Plushenko. In the short program, Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan led with a score of 101.45 The competition concludes Friday with the short program. SLOPESTYLE SKIING: For only the third time in Winter Games history, a U.S. team swept the podium. Christensen led the way with a dominating performance that featured four near-perfect runs over the rails and jumps at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park. Gus Kenworthy and Nick Goepper captured the silver and bronze, as the U.S. skiers matched the country’s previous sweeps in men’s figure skating in 1956 and men’s halfpipe snowboarding in 2002.
Mason among underrated players in college hoops Associated Press
By now, even the most casual college basketball fans have heard about Doug McDermott, Jabari Parker and Marcus Smart. They were touted as some of the best players in the game before the season and have lived up to the billing. But what about Antoine Mason? He’s nation’s scoring leader, yet goes largely unnoticed outside of the Northeast because he plays at Niagara. Mason is not alone in his relatively obscurity. With the depths and breadth of talent in college basketball, there are talented players across the country, many who go unnoticed outside their conferences or regions. With that in mind, we’re go-
ing to recognize a few, knowing there are plenty more out there: • Mason, Niagara. He’s the son of former New York Knicks power forward Anthony Mason, yet plays a vastly different game than his pops. While Anthony was one of the most intimidating players in the NBA during his 14 seasons, Antoine is a 6-foot-3 guard who uses his quickness and ability to drive in either direction to get into the lane. The fourth-year junior leads the nation in scoring at 26.3 points per game — a full point ahead of the more highly touted McDermott — and is second nationally in fouls drawn per game at 8.4 per game, according to Kenpom. com. A big reason Mason doesn’t get much attention
is that his team hasn’t been very good: The Purple Eagles are 6-19 heading into Friday’s game against Canisius. • Roberto Nelson, Oregon State. The Beavers’ senior guard doesn’t get the recognition he deserves because he’s on an average team — 1310 — and plays in a conference (the Pac-12) where the games sometimes don’t start until well after people on the East Coast have gone to bed. But Nelson may be the best pure scorer in the West. The 6-foot-4 guard has a quick release, can shoot from range and has a knack for getting off shots over bigger players at the rim. Nelson is the Pac12’s leading scorer and 11th nationally with 23.5 points per game while shooting 41 percent from 3-point range.
He also averages 3.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game. • Markel Brown, Oklahoma State. Marcus Smart gets most of the attention in Stillwater, on and off the court, but Brown is just as versatile as his teammate and freakishly athletic. A 6-3 senior, Brown can light it up from long range in a hurry and is a regular on the highlight shows with his variety of rim-rattling dunks. Brown is right behind Smart in scoring at 16.7 points per game and has shot better than his more-touted teammate, hitting 47 percent from the floor and 37 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. He also averages 5.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists on a team that started the season 16-2 before struggling of late.

The 6-foot-5 sophomore said the Bulldogs never lost their cool even after falling behind early. “We were just more aggressive,� Mann said. “We stayed calm and composed. It was early and we just kept pushing and playing our game.�
Thursday that Woodson, averaging 2.6 points a contest, will not practice, travel with the team or attend games. The coach has even cleaned out Woodson’s locker. “He lost the privilege to be part of traveling, playing in games, locker room,� Pastner said. “That’s a privilege, not a right. It’s not a birthright to be on that. It’s a big-time privilege. Part of that suspension is you lose that privilege.� The suspension means the 6-foot-10, 310-pound Woodson will not be flying with the Tigers on Friday when they head to Connecticut for a game Saturday with the No. 24 Huskies (19-5, 7-4 American Athletic Conference). Woodson has played in 18 games this season for Memphis (19-5, 8-3) averaging 2.6 points with 37 total rebounds. Pastner said he has disciplined the freshman before for his foul language and that he will not tolerate Woodson’s relapses with “his vocabulary� when women and children are around. The coach said Woodson will have to make some changes before he returns to the team.

WIN Fox used 12 players in the first half, trying to find a few who could produce some offense. Things started to turn when Fox put rarelyused freshman reserve Geno into the game. The 6-foot-6 Geno — a Booneville native — scored six points as the Bulldogs rallied, going on a 20-5 run to take a 28-27 lead into halftime. Geno said he grew up a huge Mississippi State fan and his family had season tickets to both football and basketball
games. “I was just trying to give us an energy boost on defense and rebounding,� Geno said. And the good times continued for Georgia early in the second half. The Bulldogs pounded their way inside for easy baskets and stretched their lead to 57-39 on Marcus Thornton’s layup with 8:16 remaining. Georgia scored 40 points in the paint. After the game, a big group of fans from Boon-
eville, which is about 90 miles from Starkville, cheered as Geno walked through the tunnel. “Half of Booneville was here,� Geno said. “It was cool to come out after warmups and see everybody in red.� It was a bitter loss for Mississippi State, which squandered the 14-point first-half lead and was then embarrassed in the second half as Georgia got to the rim for easy layups. “It’s very frustrating,�
Mississippi State coach Rick Ray said. “You come out and play well against a team like Kentucky (on Saturday) and you think the problem’s solved. Then you come out here, get off to a good start, think you’re rolling in the right direction and then just have a complete collapse in the second half.� Now MSU faces two straight road games against Auburn and LSU before returning to Humphrey Coliseum.

Comcast strikes deal to buy Time Warner Cable Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — With a single behemoth purchase, Comcast is creating a dominant force in American entertainment and presenting federal regulators with an equally outsized quandary: How should they handle a conglomerate that promises to improve cable TV and Internet service to millions of homes but also consolidates unprecedented control of what viewers watch and download? Comcast, which was already the nation’s No. 1 pay TV and Internet provider, says its $45.2 billion purchase of Time Warner Cable will provide faster, more reliable service to more customers and save money on TV programming costs. If the acquisition is approved, Comcast will serve some 30 million pay TV customers and 32 million Internet subscribers. But industry watchdogs say the deal will give the company too much power and ultimately raise the price of high-speed connections. “How much power over content do we want a single company to have?” said Bert Foer, president of the American Antitrust Institute, a Washington based consumer interest group. The all-stock deal approved by the boards of both companies trumps a proposal from Charter Communications to
“How much power over content do we want a single company to have?” Bert Foer President, American Antitrust Institute, a Washington based consumer interest group buy Time Warner Cable for about $38 billion. It also represents another giant expansion following Comcast’s $30 billion purchase of NBCUniversal, operator of networks like NBC, Bravo and USA, which was completed last March. Comcast says it will continue to operate under conditions the government imposed when it approved that transaction, including a requirement that it provide standalone Internet service without tying it to a pay TV package and that it make programming available without discrimination to other providers, including online video providers. However, those conditions expire in 2018, and Comcast CEO Brian Roberts was not prepared to voluntarily extend those into the future in a conference call with journalists. “Those Internet conditions would apply on Day One,” he said. “How long that goes is not something I want to speculate on, but many years at the very
minimum.” Roberts argued that the cable industry has been losing TV subscribers for the last decade because of increased competition from satellite TV providers such as DirecTV and Dish and telecom companies like AT&T and Verizon. Despite gaining subscribers in the final quarter of last year, the forecast is to lose more in 2014. “It’s a very competitive business,” he said. “That being said, we’ve expanded for consumers their capabilities and access to content in remarkable ways.” While the provision of video is competitive, it is becoming increasingly less important for cable operators as higher programming costs cut into their profits. On the other hand, providing Internet services is highly profitable and in many markets, cable companies offer the best speeds available. “In most places outside of a few big metro areas, you’ve only got cable as the only game in
town,” said Craig Aaron, president of Free Press, a publicinterest group that focuses on the media industry. “I don’t see there on their list of proposed consumer benefits prices going down.” The deal is expected to close by the end of the year, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals. The two companies already have strongholds in the major markets of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Comcast has 22 million pay TV customers but plans to divest 3 million after the deal closes. Time Warner Cable will contribute 11.2 million customers. The price amounts to $158.82 per share for Time Warner Cable and is about 17 percent above that stock’s Wednesday closing price of $135.31. It tops a Charter Communications Inc. proposal to buy Time Warner Cable for about $132.50 per share. Charter had pursued Time Warner Cable for months, but Time Warner Cable CEO Rob Marcus consistently rejected what he called a lowball offer, saying he would cut a deal for $160 per share in cash and stock. For a time, Comcast, which also owns NBCUniversal, stayed in the background, waiting to purchase any chunk of subscribers that a combined Charter-Time Warner Cable
would sell off. Charter had planned to finance its bid with $25 billion in new debt. As part of a plan to pay off the debt quickly, the company considered selling off some of its territories after a deal had closed. The Comcast-Time Warner Cable combination’s total of roughly 30 million customers is believed to be a level that won’t trigger the concern of antitrust authorities. Divesting subscribers could help the deal get approved more quickly. Comcast is also taking the position that because Comcast and Time Warner Cable don’t serve overlapping markets, their combination won’t reduce competition for consumers. Comcast operates in Chicago and mainly in Northeast markets that also include Boston, Washington and its home base of Philadelphia. Time Warner Cable has strongholds around its headquarters in New York, as well in Los Angeles, Dallas and Milwaukee. In many of those areas, the combined Comcast/Time Warner Cable will face competition from rivals AT&T and Verizon, which provide both pay TV services and Internet hookups. Both AT&T and Verizon are growing quickly. They ended 2013 with 5.5 million and 5.3 million pay TV subscribers, respectively.
Boston to pay tribute ‘Not again:’ Another storm hits Northeast to bombing victims “Every time it snows, it’s like, “We’re going Associated Press
Associated Press
BOSTON — A tribute to victims, survivors and first responders will be held on the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings that killed three people and injured more than 260, race organizers announced Thursday. The April 15 tribute at the Hynes Convention Center will be hosted jointly by Boston Mayor Martin Walsh and Gov. Deval Patrick in coordination with One Fund Boston, the charity set up to help victims, the Boston Athletic Association said. “On April 15, we recall the courage, compassion, and commitment of our great city and its people, ...” Walsh said in a statement. The event will feature speakers representing families of those affected by the bombings, medical staff who treated patients, responding government agencies and civic leaders. It will conclude with a flagraising ceremony and brief moment of silence. ...” Prosecutors allege that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, built and planted two pressure cooker bombs near the finish line of the marathon. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died following a shootout with police several days later. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to 30 federal counts, including using a weapon of mass destruction. He faces the death penalty at trial, scheduled to start Nov. 3.

PHILADELPHIA — The latest storm to roll off nature’s assembly line this bustling winter spread heavy snow and sleet along the Northeast corridor Thursday, while utility crews in the iceencrusted South labored to restore power to hundreds of thousands of shivering residents. The sloppy weather shuttered schools and businesses, made driving scary, grounded more than 6,000 flights on Thursday alone and created more back-breaking work for people along the East Coast, where shoveling out has become a weekly chore — sometimes a twice-weekly one. “Snow has become a four-letter word,” said Tom McGarrigle, chairman of the Delaware County Council, in suburban Philadelphia. Baltimore awoke to 15 inches of snow. Washington, D.C., had at least 8, and federal offices and the city’s two main airports were closed. Philadelphia had nearly 9 inches, making it the fourth 6-inch snowstorm

New Cumberland, Pa., resident of the season — the first time that has happened in the city’s history. New York City received nearly 10 inches. Parts of New Jersey had over 11. The Boston area was expecting 4 to 6, while inland Connecticut and Massachusetts were looking at a foot or more. In New Cumberland, Pa., Randal DeIvernois had to take a rest after shoveling his driveway. His snow blower had conked out. “Every time it snows, it’s like, oh, not again,” he said. “I didn’t get this much snow when I lived in Colorado. It’s warmer at the Olympics than it is here. That’s ridiculous.” At least 18 deaths, most of them in traffic acci-

dents, were blamed on the storm as it made its way across the South and up the coast. Among the victims was a pregnant woman who was struck and killed by a snowplow in New York City. Her baby was delivered in critical condition via cesarean section. The dead also included a man hit by a falling tree limb in North Carolina and a truck driver in Ashburn, Va., who was working to clear snowy roads. He was standing behind his vehicle when he was hit by a dump truck. Across the South, the storm left in its wake a world of ice-encrusted trees and driveways and snapped branches and power lines. About 750,000 homes and businesses were left without power in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Alabama, with scattered outages reported in the mid-Atlantic. More than 200,000 households and businesses in the Atlanta area alone were waiting for the electricity to come back on. Temperatures were expected to drop below freezing again overnight. In North Carolina, where the storm caused huge traffic jams in the Raleigh area on Wednesday as people left work and rushed to get home in the middle of the day, National Guardsmen in high-riding Humvees patrolled the snowy roads, looking for any stranded motorists. Some roads around Raleigh remained clogged with abandoned vehicles Thursday morning. City crews were working to tow the vehicles to safe areas where their owners could recover them. By late Thursday morning, parts of northern Georgia had over 9 inches of snow, while North Carolina ranged from 6 inches in cities to up to 15 inches in mountainous areas. Parts of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania were reporting 15 to 18 inches. Pat O’Pake, a Pennsylvania Department of
Mike Flood
Transportation plow operator with more than 20 years on the job, began his grueling 12-hour shift at midnight, plying a stretch of Interstate 78 in Berks County. “It’s like a dog chasing its tail all day,” O’Pake said as he drove his 14-ton International at a steady 37 mph. “Until it stops snowing, and then we’ll catch up at the end. We always do. It just takes a while.” The procession of storms and cold blasts — blamed in part on a kink in the jet stream, the highaltitude air currents that dictate weather — has cut into retail sales across the U.S., the Commerce Department reported Thursday. Sales dipped 0.4 percent in January. “It’s been a tough winter. It seems like it will never end,” said Deb Ragan, clearing a sidewalk in downtown Philadelphia. On the National Mall in Washington, 8-yearold Lucas Moore was out having fun with his father and thinking about how all the snow days he has had this year may come back to haunt him. “If they do cut into summer, I’m going to be, like, really mad and trying not to go to school,” he said. “When it’s summer, play time.” In New York City, the teachers union and TV weatherman Al Roker blasted Mayor Bill de Blasio’s decision to keep the schools open. Roker, who was in Russia for the Winter Olympics but has a daughter in New York’s public schools, said on Twitter: “It’s going to take some kid or kids getting hurt before this goofball policy gets changed.” The mayor said many parents depend on schools to watch over their children while they are at work. The dangerous weather threatened to disrupt deliveries of Valentine’s Day flowers. “It’s a godawful thing,” said Mike Flood, owner of Falls Church Florist in Virginia. “We’re going to lose money, there’s no doubt about it.”

Why do we observe Valentine’s Day? I have often wondered how many of us really know the origin of Valentine’s Day and for the purpose of it. Even today there is some confusion of how and when Valentine’s Day started and what was the initial intention of it. Today we celebrate Valentine’s Day as a day of love and beauty. Valentine hearts are given and traded among peers, red roses are sent to loved ones, and candy is often given as a sweet affection to someone through love or even to a mutual acquaintance. Many believe that Valentine’s Day started as a pagan celebration by the Romans called the festival of Lupercalia. After reading some material about this festival leaves me wondering how in the world we could get Valentine’s Day out of the rituals that took place in these times. The sacrifice of goats for fertility and dogs for purification, the young men would take the hides of the goats and cut them into strips and then dip them into sacrificial blood. The young women
would then be gently slapped with the strips because it was believed it would make them fertile Gary during the Andrews coming year. The young Devotionals maidens’ names would be placed into an urn and the young bachelors would draw out one of the names. The two would be paired together for one year to see if they were compatible for each other and many of them united in marriage. As these marriages took place it started taking men away from their service in the army so Emperor Claudius II banned all marriages so that he could boost his armies. Saint Valentine would secretly perform the marriages until he was discovered and thrown into prison. While he was in prison he developed a relationship with the jailor’s daughter and the two fell in love. The night before his
death sentence was carried out it is said that he left her a note and signed it “your Valentine.” Back in 496 A.D. St. Valentine’s Day was set on February 14th and replaced the pagan festival Lupercalia which was celebrated on February 15th. If history is correct then why do we celebrate Valentine’s Day in our Christian heritage? Maybe it is because we see Valentine’s Day today in a different light than in its beginning. Not many people, such as me, has ever researched this day because it has become a day of love and gifts of love are given to a lot of people, some who least expect it. Maybe it is a time of reconciliation for some families, some marriages, or some friendships. Maybe it is a time for us to re-evaluate the way we look at people and our relationship to God. The Bible talks about love all through its pages and I know that our God is a God of love. Even though Valentine’s Day started as a pagan day, let’s not worship the day
in any way associated with the way it started but let’s observe February 14th as a day of love and treat others the way we want to be treated. 1 Peter 4:8 tells us, “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.” Prayer: Lord God forgive me if I celebrate Valentine’s Day in any way other than love for you and for my fellow man. Thank you for bringing to this modern day world a Valentine day of beauty and love and for taking the pagan rituals out of it. Amen.

The Associated Press
VATICAN CITY — It was the quietest of announcements that had the effect of a thunderclap on the Catholic world: A year ago Tuesday, Pope Benedict XVI said in a voice so soft that cardinals strained to hear (and in a Latin not all could easily follow) that he was becoming the first pontiff to resign in more than half a millennium. On the eve of the anniversary, Benedict’s longtime private secretary credited his boss’ stunning decision with opening the way to the “enormous impact” Pope Francis is having on the church and world at large. Monsignor Georg Gaenswein’s comments sent out a message of continuity between the awkward, bookish Benedict and his charismatic, super-star successor, the first Jesuit pope and the first pontiff from Latin America. It also may suggest that Benedict approves of the dramatic changes that Francis is bringing about within the church — even if many seem to go against the grain of his more restrained papacy.
“We are all seeing the impact that Pope Francis is having on the world, not just the faithful in the church but in the world — it’s an enormous impact — and this impact was also facilitated by Pope Benedict in resigning,” Gaenswein told Vatican Television. “He opened a possibility that until then wasn’t there, and we can see that Pope Francis has taken this situation in hand and we’re delighted.” Gaenswein is in the historically unique situation of serving two popes: While he remains Benedict’s secretary, lives with him in his retirement home in the Vatican gardens and takes daily walks with him each afternoon, Gaenswein is also the head of Pope Francis’ household, arranging his schedule and appearing regularly with him at his Wednesday general audiences and other public events. Gaenswein was by Benedict’s side on that Monday morning, Feb. 11, 2013 when, during the course of a routine announcement of new saints on a Vatican holiday, Benedict announced that he no longer had the
“strength of mind and body” to be pope and would retire at the end of the month. Francis was elected about a month later and has dazzled the world with his simple style, message of mercy over moralizing and a tone of welcoming that has thrilled progressive Catholics and troubled conservatives. He has since been named “Person of the Year” by Time magazine and has injected new life into an institution that was crumbling following a decade of scandal over sexual abuse, and more recently over the theft of Benedict’s private papers by his own butler. As the anniversary of that momentous day approached, Vatican officials have sought to stress Benedict’s generosity, courage and service to the church in deciding to step down as they battle to preserve his legacy amid the increasing temptation to contrast his often problematic papacy and reserved personality with his crowd-pleasing successor. Recently, the Vatican spokesman felt the need
to defend Benedict when Rolling Stone magazine put Francis on the cover and compared his “gentle revolution” to the “disastrous papacy” of his predecessor. Benedict’s longtime deputy recently issued a mea culpa for not having been able to better protect his boss from the “ruthless criticism” lobbed his way over sexual abuse and the leaks of confidential papal documents. And over the weekend, Benedict’s personal theologian, Cardinal Georges Cottier, said the REAL Benedict really only came to be known once he resigned. “In the eight years prior, Benedict was a pope who had to be discovered, sampling his beautiful homilies and studying the profoundness of his texts. But his shy and reserved character, in addition to a certain hostility by the media, didn’t completely show him off,” Cottier told Avvenire, the newspaper of the Italian bishops’ conference. “Now, after his resignation, people are beginning to realize what a big heart he has: he’s a humble, good man, without any toughness.”
Religion Briefs The Associated Press
Obama is urged to fill vacant diplomatic post WASHINGTON — A congressman and a member of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom are urging President Barack Obama to quickly fulfill a pledge he made last week at the National Prayer Breakfast. Obama said he looked forward to nominating the next U.S. Ambassador at large for International Religious Freedom, a post that has sat vacant since Suzan Johnson Cook resigned last October. Prior to her confirmation, the diplomatic post was vacant for two years. At a House hearing Tuesday, New Jersey Republican Chris Smith urged the president to quickly name a new ambassador. Commissioner Elliott Abrams said leaving the seat vacant “sends a message to countries around the world of inattention and lack of concern.” But State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Secretary of State John Kerry and other administration officials “are dedicated to this issue every day” and are “advocating with governments where needed.”
Crystal Cathedral’s Schuller dies at 84 ORANGE, Calif. — Arvella Schulle, the wife of the Crystal
Cathedral’s founding pastor, has died at the age of 84. Carol Schuller Milner says her mother passed away unexpectedly and peacefully Tuesday at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center. Arvella Schuller is survived by her husband, the Rev. Robert H. Schuller, who launched the ministry at an Orange County drive-in in 1955. She was the organist there. Together they founded the Crystal Cathedral and the weekly “Hour of Power” broadcast, which she produced and directed. At its peak, the “Hour of Power” attracted 20 million viewers, but the ministry filed for bankruptcy in 2010.
Hobby Lobby files Supreme Court brief WASHINGTON — An attorney for Hobby Lobby says the owners of the arts and crafts chain should be exempt from the health care law’s birth control mandate because providing contraceptives that destroy life in the womb would violate their religious beliefs. Kyle Duncan of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty says Hobby Lobby’s brief has now been filed at the Supreme Court. The justices will hear arguments March 25 involving challenges to the mandate by Hobby Lobby and Mennonite-owned Conestoga Wood Specialties. The Obama administration has
argued that for-profit businesses don’t have religious rights. But Duncan says federal law protects the free exercise of religion “wherever it occurs — in the home, in a church, in a charity or in a family business.” He noted that CVS won praise last week for its decision to stop selling tobacco products, suggesting that businesses can and should act on their principles.
Religious groups join, fight gay marriage in court SALT LAKE CITY — A coalition of religious organizations has come together to urge a federal appeals court to uphold bans on same-sex marriage in Utah and Oklahoma, saying unions between a man and woman are best for children, families and society. The argument is being made in a 42-page brief filed Monday to a Denver-based court reviewing cases that could reverse gay marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma. Lawyers for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops wrote the brief, which was signed by the National Association of Evangelicals and Southern Baptist and Lutheran organizations. The religious groups say the marriage of a man and a woman as established by God is the best setting for raising children.
