Chiropractor pleads guilty, avoids jail BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

An Adamsville, Tennessee chiropractor avoided a jail sentence and managed to retain his medical license after pleading guilty to statutory rape this week in McNairy County Circuit Court. Matthew Barnes had been facing a charge of a statutory rape of a 14-year-old girl, who was a student

in one of his self-defense classes. He pleaded guilty to one county of aggravated statutory rape, a Class D felony, and will be on probation for four years. Circuit Court Judge J. Weber McCraw placed Barnes on supervised probation for the maximum period of 4 years, during which he will be required to register and report as a sex offender pursuant to applicable

state law, and have no further contact with the minor victim in the case. The victim’s family did agree with the judge’s ruling of judicial diversion. Barnes also petitioned the court for the extraordinary relief of judicial diversion, by which the finding of guilt is withheld, and upon successful completion of the diversion

supervised probationary period, the charges can be dismissed and expunged from the defendant’s criminal record. There are several statutory factors that the court must consider in making a determination of judicial diversion relief, including the fact that the defendant has no prior criminal history.

Snow accumulation in Monday forecast BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Anyone not on holiday for President’s Day may face a slippery work commute as a developing storm appears likely to bring an accumulating snowfall. Meteorologist Jim Branda of the National Weather Service Memphis Forecast Office said at least an inch of snow looks likely for Corinth, but the forecast computer models still have a great deal of uncertainty.

“I think the best chance for Corinth to see some accumulations will probably be in the 6 in the morning to noon timeframe on Monday,” he said. Accumulations could be rather light or enough to prompt a winter storm warning — it was too soon to tell Friday afternoon. “Some of the model data shows the I-40 corridor and north Mississippi actually get-

wood to go along with the pine.” Madison DeGraffenreid and her mother, Elizabeth, were also on hand representing the 4-H Horticulture Club, Seeds of Tomorrow. Madison passed out material on how to plant trees. “Today gives us a chance to educate people about forestry,” said Jay

Mitchell with Mitchell Forestry & Wildlife Services. “Its a huge business in Mississippi.” Friday’s annual giveaway was part of Arbor Day in the state. The National Arbor Day is the last Friday in April, but most southern states celebrate the event in other months. Mississippi’s Arbor Day celebration is always scheduled for the second Friday in February.

to sell each year.” In addition to growing plants and setting out landscaping, participants collaborate on a variety of outdoor projects. Geared toward those who delight in hands-on activities, the course is a haven for students who enjoy nature and self-exploration. Learning to navigate the shop and repair equipment, many of the courses’ tasks focus on their student organization, FFA which prepares students to compete in many different agricultural contests. “I enjoy teaching things which involve any part of agriculture. Students need to know information about our food industry and natural resources,” said the instructor. “We as people need to have knowledge about our vast natural resources and how to manage them for future generations.”

Construction I & 2 Offered since 1972, Building Trades made its transition to Construction I and II in 2011. Now in his fifth year of teaching the course, instructor Fred Jackson educates others on safety, construction math, hand tools, power tools, communication, em-

want to learn cultivate skills which will benefit them regardless of occupation, for the rest of their lives ... skills which build self-confidence and enable them to be successful,” said the instructor.

Agriculture Power & Machinery Established in 1972, the Alcorn County Agriculture Power and Machinery program has served hundreds of students since its inception. Offering content in the areas of orientation and safety review, advanced cutting and welding, hydrolic systems, diesel engines, electrical and electronics systems, agricultural equipment maintenance and operation and advanced technology in agriculture, the

class prepares students for post-secondary training or entry-level employment. A two-year program with foundational and advanced areas of study, its greatest asset is its shop laboratory. Providing a wide variety of hands-on experience in metal cutting, welding and fabrication, as well as in-depth investigations into the management of agriculture related power units and systems, the laboratory is an invaluable resource. “This course is geared toward any student interested in a career field which utilizes the skills and knowledge gained through the program. Students who are preparing for careers in engineering are well served with foundational, me-

chanical, structural and electrical experiences,” said Dennis Deaton who has led the class since Aug. 2011. “However, it is students interested in engineering, mechanical and metal trades who get the most benefit.” In addition to career training and skill development, the class manages and maintains the school’s ag-related equipment and develops projects for groups such as 4-H and extension. “We encourage students to develop personal experience projects related to the program,”said Deaton. “Our FFA leadership organization is continually developing them through school and community projects. Current student projects include: the restoration of a 1954 John Deere

“The State did not agree to or recommend judicial diversion for Barnes, the Court found that he is a qualified candidate, and granted that diversion request,” said McNairy County District Attorney Michael Dunavant. “One of the most important and overriding considerations of the District Attorney’s office in the ultimate disposition of this case was the protection of the minor victim and respecting her and her family’s preferences

and requests in this difficult case.” Judicial diversion relief is provided by state law for qualified defendants and applies to all misdemeanor offenses except for DUI, and most Class C, D, and E grade felony offenses, including certain sex offenses such as statutory rape and sexual battery. The evidence in the case stated the girl would come to Barnes’ home weekly for a self-defense class with a group of people. Barnes was alleged to have sexual contact with the victim 10 times,

according to the affidavit. Barnes agreed to pay a financial settlement to the young girl’s family as part of the agreement for judicial diversion. The investigation into the case by the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department began in May 2014. Medical licenses in Tennessee are not automatically revoked with arrests or convictions. Barnes will still be allowed to operate his chiropractic practice in Adamsville that has been open since 1997.

ting a little bit more of the precipitation than further north,” said Branda. An arctic front will pass through the area early this evening with gusty winds, dramatically dropping temperatures and setting the stage for wintry precipitation to begin after midnight Sunday night with a mix of sleet and snow that is expected to continue into the early to middle afternoon on Monday, when the temperature will rise no higher than about 35. Sunday morning is expected to be particularly cold with a low of about 16 and wind chills in the single digits to near zero. Some flurries may linger into Tuesday, and a clipper system may bring some light snow Wednesday night into Thursday, said Branda. High temperatures in the 30s will persist until Thursday. Branda said residents should watch for advisories, watches and warnings that may be issued by the weather service this weekend.

The class has also constructed a 5 x 10 utility trailer for 4-H and is presently developing a 6 x10 trailer. “The aspects I enjoy most about the class are the problem solving and opportunities for creativity,” revealed the instructor. “Each project is a new puzzle and many allow for open-ended imagination.” Future possibilities for the course include the development of pre-employment training lines with local industry and student certification of skills upon completion, improving the chances of employment after high school. While the employability skills of students are of the utmost importance to Deaton, his greatest hope is that a solid work ethic and community service will accompany them as well. “Many people with advanced degrees are needed in our society and the global market, but even more are needed with solid trade and technical skills to maintain the freedoms, integrity and independence of our communities, State and Nation,” he said. “This is what career and technical education does.”

Today in History

TAP, MSU offer entrepreneur program

Today is Saturday, Feb. 14, the 45th day of 2015. There are 320 days left in the year. This is Valentine’s Day.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 14, 1929, the “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre” took place in a Chicago garage as seven rivals of Al Capone’s gang were gunned down.

On this date: 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 1924, the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co. of New York was formally renamed International Business Machines Corp., or IBM. In 1945, during World War II, British and Canadian forces reached the Rhine River in Germany. In 1962, first lady Jacqueline Kennedy conducted a televised tour of the White House in a videotaped special that was broadcast on CBS and NBC (and several nights later on ABC). In 1975, Anglo-American author P.G. Wodehouse, 93, died in Southampton, New York. In 1985, Cable News Network reporter Jeremy Levin, held hostage by extremists in Lebanon, escaped from his captors. In 1989, Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini called on Muslims to kill Salman Rushdie, author of “The Satanic Verses,” a novel condemned as blasphemous. In 2013, Paralympic superstar Oscar Pistorius was charged with murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, at his home in South Africa; he was later convicted of culpable homicide and sentenced to five years in jail. One year ago: Drawing a link between climate change and California’s drought, President Barack Obama said the U.S. had to stop thinking of water as a “zerosum” game and needed to do a better job of figuring out how to make sure everyone’s water needs were satisfied.

ties.

We need less government To the editor: This is a time we need to limit the size and control our government has over all of us. Instead, our own Mississippi Attorney General, Jim Hood, is suing Google to limit our freedom of speech and freedom of the internet giving more control to the government. The last thing we need is more government control and regulations. They need to leave the internet alone. As I understand it, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) is paying Hood handsomely to file their lawsuits for them. In fact, reports show how Hood actually copied, word for word, parts of the lawsuit as written by attorneys representing MPAA. Could this be the real reason for suing Google since, to my knowledge, we don’t have any motion picture studios located in Mississippi? Or does he just want to give the liberal left more control of the internet? Our elected officials are supposed to be public servants and employed by the good people of Mississippi. We depend on them to protect us, provide for the infrastructure, and help grow this great state we live in. We need less government and less government control. Mike Stewart Corinth

Please show respect in our cemeteries To the editor: I am saddened to even have to be writing this. I am a concerned family member who has several loved ones buried in Dogwood Cemetery. Over the last 10 years I have buried my beloved grandparents, an uncle and several other family members there. On and off over the years there has been a problem of trash being thrown out. Over the last month it has gotten increasingly worse. Myself, and other concerned family members, went this past weekend and cleaned everything up. There were countless liquor bottles, beer cans, pill bottles and trash. There are even people parking out there that have no family buried there during the day and a lot at night. I find this behavior beyond disrespectful. My family members are gone, and taking care of them at the cemetery is all I can do for them. They deserve better than this! I believe that a person should be able to go visit their loved ones and not have to see these things. My mother is not able to stand for long, so I had saved my money and put a bench there so she could come and visit her parents. But even that was stolen. Please help me to urge people to remember this is a sacred place for our loved ones and to please be respectful. I will continue to go there everyday for as long as it takes. Kelly Holder Corinth

House Bill 449 seems to be an attempt to silence educators Dear Editor, When I became an educator, I devoted my life to advocate on behalf of students. However, House Bill 449 seems to be an attempt to silence educators, to prevent us from actively participating in our American democracy as we advocate on behalf of our students. A proposed bill that Rep. John Moore, Chair of the House Education Committee, has sponsored would fine educators $10,000.00 for something as simple as using our personal cell phones on our lunch break to communicate with our legislators. This seems to be an outrageous attempt to strip us of our basic constitutional right to communicate with our government officials. HB 449 betrays constitutional freedoms. As members of the legislature, our legislators should actively seek out the wise counsel of the educational professionals in their own communities and across the state. After all, we are the education experts. The civics lesson is straight forward. We must protect every educator’s right to participate in our American democracy, the beacon of hope throughout the world. Sincerely, Barbara S. Guinn Board of Directors, Mississippi Association of Educators

Obama: The Rev. Wright’s star pupil “A steady patriot of the world alone, “The friend of every country – but his own.” George Canning’s couplet about the Englishmen who professed love for all the world except their own native land comes to mind on reading Obama’s remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast. After listing the horrors of ISIS, al-Qaida and Boko Haram, the president decided his recital of crimes committed in the name of Islam would be unbalanced, if he did not backhand those smug Christians sitting right in front of him. “And lest we get on our high horse ... remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.” Why did he do it? He had to know that dredging up and dragging in real or imagined crimes of Christianity from centuries ago would anger Christians and obliterate whatever else he had to say. Was it Edgar Allen Poe’s “Imp of the Perverse” prodding him to stick it to the Christians? Was it the voice of his old pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah “God damn America!” Wright mutter-

ing in his ear? I believe this betrays something d e e p e r . Obama revPat els in reciting Buchanan the sins of Christianity Columnist and the West because he does not see himself as a loyal son of the civilization Christianity produced. He sees himself as a citizen of the world who rejects the idea that our cradle faith Christianity is superior or that our civilization is superior. For he seems to seize every opportunity to point up the sins of Christianity and the West and the contributions of other faiths and civilizations. Consider the bill of particulars in Obama’s indictment of crimes committed “in the name of Christ.” Slavery was not invented by Christians. It existed when Christ was born. Fifth century Athens and the Roman republic had slaves. African slaves were brought not only to the New World in the 17th and 18th centuries but to Arabia and the Islamic world. Black African chieftains produced the captives for the slave trade. Why then does Obama single out Christianity for indictment, when it was Christians and their teach-

ings about human dignity, and Christian moral leaders and Christian nations that abolished the slave trade and slavery itself, which endured in the Islamic world into the 20th century? As for the Crusades, there were indeed atrocities on both sides during these expeditions and wars from the end of the 11th to the end of the 13th century, with the fall of Acre in 1291. But were the Crusades unjust wars? Obama seems to see them from the Saracen point of view. But does he really believe that when Pope Urban II preached the First Crusade at Clermont in 1095 to have Christian knights relieve the siege of Byzantium and liberate the Holy Land, this was the moral equivalent of Bin Laden declaring war to rid the Islamic Middle East of Americans? Like his derisive remarks about Middle Pennsylvanians, that they cling with bitterness to their bibles, guns and antipathy to immigrants, Obama’s Prayer Breakfast digression reveals much more about who the man is. He dragged in the Inquisition. Yet, as Alexander Solzhenitsyn noted, Vladimir Lenin ordered more people executed in his first days in power than did the Spanish Inquisition in 300 years.

In drawing parallels between Christianity and Islam, Obama misses a basic point. Unlike Islam, which, in one century, conquered Arabia, the Middle and Near East, the Holy Land, North Africa and Spain, until the Muslim advance was halted by Charles Martel at Poitiers in France, Christianity did not conquer with the sword, but with the Word. America’s problem: With Islamic fanaticism surging, with ISIS using the term “Crusader” as a curse word equivalent to “Nazi,” we have as leader of the West a man who partly shares the enemy’s views about the Christian Crusades, and who seems at best ambivalent about the superiority of the civilization that he leads. Again, Canning’s words come to mind: “No narrow bigot he; – his reason’d view “Thy interests, England, ranks with thine, Peru! “France at our doors, he sees no danger nigh, “But heaves for Turkey’s woes the impartial sigh; “A steady patriot of the world alone, “The friend of every country – but his own.” (Daily Corinthian columnist Pat Buchanan is an American conservative political commentator, author, syndicated columnist, politician and broadcaster.)

Vaccinations are for the good of the nation There has been much debate recently over vaccination mandates, particularly in response to the measles outbreak currently taking place throughout the country. At this juncture, there have been 102 confirmed measles cases in the U.S. during 2015, with 59 of them linked to a December 2014 visit to the Disneyland theme park in Southern California. (It is important to note that 11 of the cases associated with Disneyland were detected last year and, consequently, fall within the 2014 measles count.) This outbreak has spread to at least a half-dozen other states. One must understand that there is no specific antiviral therapy for measles and that 90 percent of those who are not vaccinated will contract measles if they are indeed exposed to the virus. This explains why Arizona health officials are monitoring more than 1,000 people

after potential exposure to measles. These are pretty staggering numbers that Ben should conCarson cern not only parents, but Columnist also the general populace. I have been asked many times throughout the past week for my thoughts concerning the issue of vaccines. The important thing is to make sure the public understands that there is no substantial risk from vaccines and that the benefits are very significant. Although I strongly believe in individual rights and the rights of parents to raise their children as they see fit, I also recognize that public health and public safety are extremely important in our society. Certain communicable diseases have been largely eradicated by immuniza-

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.

tion policies in this country. We should not allow those diseases to return by forgoing immunization programs when we have the means to eradicate them. Obviously, there are exceptional situations to virtually everything, and we must have a mechanism whereby those can be heard. Nevertheless, there is public policy and health policy that we have to pay attention to regarding this matter. I am very much in favor of parental rights for certain types of things. I am in favor of you and I having the freedom to drive a car. But do we have a right to drive without wearing our seatbelts? Do we have a right to text while we are driving? Studies have demonstrated that those are dangerous things to do, so it becomes a public safety issue. You have to be able to distinguish our rights versus the rights of the society in which we live, because we are all in this thing together. That is key, and that is one of the responsibilities of gov-

ernment. I am a small-government person, and I greatly oppose government intrusion into everything. Still, it is essential that we distinguish between those things that are important and those things that are just intruding upon our basic privacy.

Obama signs bill to cut vetsâ€™ suicides WASHINGTON â€” Acknowledging the struggles of the nationâ€™s veterans, President Barack Obama on Thursday signed legislation intended to reduce a military suicide epidemic that is claiming lives by the day. â€œIf you are hurting, know this. You are not forgotten,â€? Obama said, addressing soldiers and veterans as he prepared to affix his signature to the law. The law requires the Pentagon and Veterans Affairs Department to submit to independent reviews of their suicide prevention programs and make information on suicide prevention more easily available to veterans. It also offers financial incentives to psychiatrists and other mental health professionals who agree to work for the VA and assist military members as they transition from active duty to veteran status. â€œToo many of our troops and veterans are still struggling,â€? Obama said. â€œThey are recovering from injuries; they are mourning fallen comrades; theyâ€™re trying to reconnect with family and friends who can never fully understand what they went through in war theater. The bill was named after Clay Hunt, a 28-year-old Marine veteran who struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hunt killed himself in 2011 in Texas.

Hormone treatment OKâ€™ed for ManningÂ WASHINGTON â€” Hormone treatment for gender reassignment has been approved for Chelsea Manning, the former intelligence analyst convicted of espionage for sending classified documents to the WikiLeaks website. Defense Department officials said Thursday that the hormone therapy was approved Feb. 5 by Col. Erica Nelson, commandant of the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where Manning is serving a 35-year sentence.

The treatment would enable the Army private formerly known as Bradley Manning to make the transition to a woman. Manning changed her legal name in April 2014. The officials were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The memo approving Manningâ€™s hormone treatment was first reported by USA Today. Calls to military officials at Fort Leavenworth werenâ€™t immediately returned. The decision came after a lawsuit was filed in September in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. It alleged Manning was at a high risk of selfcastration and suicide unless she received more focused treatment for gender dysphoria, the sense of being a woman in a manâ€™s body. The former intelligence analyst was convicted in August 2013 of espionage and other offenses for sending more than 700,000 classified documents to WikiLeaks while working in Iraq.

House wants tax breaks continuedÂ WASHINGTON â€” The House voted Friday to make permanent an expired tax break designed to help small businesses invest in equipment and property, defying a veto threat by the White House. President Barack Obama objects to the bill because it would add $79 billion to the budget deficit over the next decade. The bill is part of a package of more than 50 temporary tax breaks that Congress routinely extends every year or two. The entire package expired at the start of the year. Now, House Republicans are moving to make selected tax breaks permanent. On Thursday, the House passed a $14.3 billion package of tax breaks designed to encourage charitable giving. Also, the House Ways and Means Committee advanced several other bills that would benefit businesses and individuals. The House passed the small business bill on Friday by a vote of

Across the State

272-142. The bill would allow small businesses to immediately write off capital expenses of up to $500,000, rather than taking the deductions over several years. Another provision would make it easier for small business owners to deduct charitable contributions. Congress has temporarily extended the expiring provision 12 times since 2003, making it difficult for businesses to do long-term planning, said Rep. Pat Tiberi, R-Ohio, who sponsored the bill. â€œWe can do this, give our small business owners and farmers the type of certainty they need that will help our economy grow, that will help their businesses grow, rather than do what weâ€™ve done for 12 years now,â€? Tiberi said. â€œWe need long-term certainty.â€? The bill is endorsed by numerous business groups, including the National Association of Manufacturers and the National Federation of Independent Business.

Greene County inmate capturedÂ LEAKESVILLE â€” An inmate who escaped from a Greene County correctional facility work detail has been captured. The Mississippi Department of Corrections says in a news release that Dexter Patrick was arrested without incident about 7:40 a.m. Friday in State Line after authorities were altered to his whereabouts by a citizen. Patrick was reported missing from a work detail shortly after noon Thursday. He allegedly stole a truck, which was later found abandoned. Authorities say Patrick was tracked all night not far from the Leakesville prison in an area between Mississippi Highway 57 and U.S. Highway 45. Corrections officials say Patrick will be charged with escape. Patrick is serving a 52year sentence for armed robbery and vehicle theft.

Jackson man gets 35 years in killingÂ

Mexico condemns police shootingÂ

JACKSON â€” A Jackson man has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for murder in a fatal 2014 shooting. Hinds County District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith says in a news release that Tyree Camphor was sentenced Thursday. Smith says a jury convicted Camphor on Jan. 29. Authorities say 22-year-old Angelique Smith, a Jackson State University student, was shot last March at the Belvedere Terrace Apartments in Jackson. Camphor was initially charged with aggravated assault. The charges were upgraded when Smith later died in a Jackson hospital.

PASCO, Wash. â€” Police who shot and killed a man accused of hurling rocks at officers in southeastern Washington are drawing criticism from as far away as Mexico. The death Tuesday of orchard worker Antonio Zambrano-Montes is the fourth fatal police shooting since last summer in Pasco, an agricultural city of 68,000 people about 215 miles southeast of Seattle. It has sparked protests after witnesses said he was running away when he was shot in a busy intersection. Mexicoâ€™s Foreign Relations Department on Thursday condemned the shooting of the man raised in that country. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said he was monitoring the situation. â€œWe are going to need to get to the bottom of understanding the circumstances of this,â€? the governor said. â€œThere will be, and needs to be, a very complete assessment of all of the circumstances of what happened here.â€?

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi. The plant, which began building the Corolla in October 2011, reached the half-million production mark faster than any of the other eight Toyota plants in the U.S. â€œThis is a proud moment in our history,â€? said Fred Volf, Toyota Mississippi vice president of manufacturing. â€œItâ€™s a big milestone for this plant and achievement, but we really couldnâ€™t have done it by ourselves.â€?

MSU honors Deen, renames buildingÂ MERIDIAN â€” Mississippi State University has honored a longtime philanthropist with the naming of the business building on the Meridian campus for Robert B. Deen Jr. The ceremony Thursday formally designated the Newberry Building at the MSU-Meridian Riley Campus as the Robert B. Deen Jr. Building. The 20,000-squarefoot building is home to the MSU-Meridian Campusâ€™ Division of Business, with six stateof-the-art classrooms, a computer laboratory, two conference rooms, faculty offices and student study spaces. Deen was one of the four founding members of The Riley Foundation in Meridian in 1998, and has served as a director, officer and general counsel of the Foundation since its creation. He currently is chairman, president and CEO of the Foundation.

Shannon man jailed in kidnapping caseÂ TUPELO â€” A 37-yearold Shannon man is

in the Lee County Jail, charged with four counts of kidnapping. Sheriff Jim Johnson tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily JournalÂ Richard James allegedly held his wife and three children at gunpoint for around 20 hours Tuesday and Wednesday. Johnson says he allowed them to leave the next day, but warned them not to talk to law enforcement. Instead, they called 911. The sheriff says the SWAT team quickly surrounded the home, and James surrendered without incident. Authorities say deputies have responded to domestic calls at the house in the past but James was never arrested. He bond is set at $200,000.

Police make drug bust at flea marketÂ LUCEDALE â€” Sheriffâ€™s deputies say a Lucedale woman trying to sell hydrocodone at her booth at a George County flea market is accused of possession of narcotics with intent to sell. Shonna Pierce, George County sheriffâ€™s public information officer, tells The Sun HeraldÂ a resident called in a tip that a woman was trying to sell the drug among other legal items. Pierce says agents from the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics and the sheriffâ€™s narcotics unit went to the flea market on Mississippi 198 East on Wednesday and arrested Charlet Olivia Dearman. Authorities said they found about 70 doses of the Schedule II narcotic hydrocodone at the booth.

Toyota plant reaches milestone BLUE SPRINGS â€” A red Toyota Corolla LE â€” specifically Barcelona Red Metallic â€” assembled Thursday morning is headed to Mexico for a waiting buyer. This Corolla doesnâ€™t have any particular feature other similar models have, except one particular distinction: Itâ€™s the 500,000th car built at

Remember veterans on Valentine’s Day WIZARD OF ID

PICKLES

Dear Readers: Happy Valentine’s Day to one and all, along with our special good wishes to all of our veterans in VA hospitals around the country. And our particular thanks and appreciation 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. You are truly caring and compassionate. Dear Annie: I’m looking for an essay that appeared in your column a few years ago. It was about an elderly man who was celebrating a birthday. He spent the whole day waiting, but no one came to see him. I visited my mother today in a nursing home. She brought up this column in our conversation, and I promised to try to track it down. Can you help? -- Loving Daughter Dear Daughter: Happy to. Here it is: It Was Grandfather’s Birthday by Rudy Joe Mano (reprinted with permission) It was Grandfather’s birthday. He was 79. He got up early, shaved, showered, combed his hair

Annie’s Mailbox and put on his Sunday best so he would look nice when they came. He skipped his daily walk to the town cafe where he had coffee with his cronies. He wanted to be home when they came. He put his porch chair on the sidewalk so he could get a better view of the street when they drove up to help celebrate his birthday. At noon, he got tired but decided to forgo his nap so he could be there when they came. Most of the rest of the afternoon he spent near the telephone so he could answer it when they called. He has five married children, 13 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. One son and a daughter live within 10 miles of his place. They hadn’t visited him for a long time. But today was his birthday and they were sure to come. At suppertime, he left the cake untouched so they could

cut it and have dessert with him. After supper, he sat on the porch waiting. At 8:30, he went to his room to prepare for bed. Before retiring, he left a note on the door that read: “Be sure to wake me when you come.” It was Grandfather’s birthday. He was 79. Dear Annie: May I add another solution for disgruntled family members trying to visit the hometown? A decade ago, with four young children, we often traveled great distances to visit my family every year. We had to use vacation time from work and pay for plane tickets, hotels and a rental car, and often arrived to discover that no one had time to spend with us, even though we planned our visits around their schedules. We no longer go yearly. We’ve made it clear that they are welcome to come here, and we would even pay their travel expenses. While our trips home to see family are still pricey, they no longer are a source of stress and frustration. Treating those visits like the vacations they truly are has helped all of us enjoy the time. -- Older and Wiser Traveler

The Week Ahead

Buildersâ€™ confidence A key measure of U.S. homebuildersâ€™ confidence should provide insight on how the spring homebuying season is shaping up. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index for February is due out on Tuesday. The index dipped one point to 57 in January. Any reading above 50 indicates that more builders view sales conditions as good rather than poor. Wall Street will have its eye on a part of the index that measures buildersâ€™ sales outlook over the next six months.

The figure is startling. Consumers are expected to spend $1.8 billion on flowers.for Valentineâ€™s Day, according to the research firm IBISWorld.

The Federal Reserve releases on Wednesday the minutes of a two-day meeting of its policymakers last month. At the Jan. 27-28 meeting, the panel reaffirmed that it would be â€œpatientâ€? in raising rates from record lows. It also signaled greater concern about excessively low inflation. The central bankâ€™s concerns about low inflation could affect when it decides to raise its key short-term rate from near zero. Many economists have forecast a Fed rate hike no earlier than June.
