State considers ‘district of innovation’ BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
The Corinth School District’s plans to raise the bar as a “district of innovation” await a ruling from the Mississippi State Board of Education. Superintendent Lee Chil-
dress will be at a meeting of the state board today as it considers Corinth’s District of Innovation proposal. The new District of Innovation program encourages school districts to try new practices. “It is our hope Corinth will be
named a ‘district of innovation,’ which will free us from numerous state standards and state laws so that we can move forward,” said Childress, who talked about the district’s plan at the CREATE Foundation’s dropout summit on Wednesday.
He said the district’s range of plans will create new learning experiences, especially for students identified as lowperforming, and aim to reduce achievement gaps. A shakeup of the school calendar and a move to a nine-

The holiday shopping season gifted some big numbers in Corinth tax collections. While the tourism tax continued its climb, Corinth’s share of sales tax proceeds declined by a small margin for a second consecutive month, but the decrease comes in comparison to a single-month record set a year ago. The city this week received a sales tax diversion of $630,717.38, reflecting sales activity that occurred during
Educational program makes return The Texas Camel Corps is taking the ride to Corinth. Owner Doug Baum has confirmed the camel education program will be part of the Grand Illumination return on Nov. 5. The initial planning meeting for Grand Illumination’s return was recently held to discuss logistics. Members of the committee include Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau Director Christy Burns, City of Corinth Street Commissioner Philip Verdung, Main
Street Director Brent Johnson and Shiloh National Military Park Supervisory Park Ranger Ashley Berry. Grand Illumination — last staged in the city in 2012 — is being brought back by the National Park Service as it celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. “A lot of the hands-on things were done by the Park Service in the past,” said Berry. “We are hoping to get more volunteers and community involvement this year.” The event, named a Top 20 event by the Southeast Tour-
the month of December. That total is a decrease of 1.7 percent, or about $10,800, from the same month a year ago. Although posting a decrease, it is only the second time the city’s sales tax tally has topped $600,000. With five deposits now on the books for fiscal 2016, the city remains in the black with a cumulative total of $2.667 million, an increase of 1.3 percent, or about $33,500, from the prior year.

Woman hurt in two-car wreck Staff Reports
A two-vehicle accident sent a Michie, Tennessee, woman to the hospital just after 5 p.m. Tuesday. Nikisha Strickland was transported by ambulance to Magnolia Regional Health Center following a wreck on U.S. Highway 72. Strickland was westbound on Highway 72 in a blue Nissan when a red 2015 Ford driven by Harmon McGill, of Iuka, pulled out in front of her from Walgreens. The accident occurred just after 5 p.m. during
the busy rush-hour traffic near the Harper Road intersection. Officials at the scene said the injuries did not appear to be life threatening. Both vehicles had moderate damage. Besides one ambulance from Magnolia EMS, two units from the Corinth Police Department and a unit from the Corinth Fire Department First Responders also responded to the accident scene. The damaged vehicles were in the shopping center parking lot, so there were no traffic delays.

in a crowd of over 225 people for a free concert and history lesson about black history in Mississippi, growing up in the Magnolia State and even surprised the crowd by bringing in some of the college’s first African American athletes. Mosley’s 2016 concert will focus on the Blues scene in the tri-state area as it concerns Blues legends W.C. Handy, B.B. King and many more along with his work and struggles of finding a foothold in northeast Mississippi for the Blues while embracing the Blues culture of the Mississippi Delta. Mosley, a former member of the Northeast football team in the late 1960s, made his name on the Mississippi Blues circuit, alongside fellow Northeast alumni Robert “Bob� Johnson as members of the musical ensemble “Mosley and Johnson.� Following a stint in the United States Army from
1965-67 that included a tour of Vietnam in 196667, Mosley and Johnson were recruited to play football at Northeast by Tiger head coach William B. “Bill� Ward and Mosley made the most of his time on the gridiron for the Tigers. In the first game back from an 11-year hiatus, Mosley hauled in the first touchdown pass of the college’s modern football era and helped Northeast beat Southwest Mississippi 33-20 on September 7, 1968. Mosley went on to earn an Associate of Arts degree in business data processing from Northeast in 1970 and continued his education at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), where he graduated with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration in 1973. However, even before his time on the gridiron at Northeast, Mosley had music running through his veins. A native of the Beaver Dam community, Mosley’s father, Joe, was a sharecropper and played the mandolin in the string band “Shoat,� with other members of the Mosley family – Sam Mosley’s uncles Bud and Theodore. At the ripe age of 10 in 1956, Mosley and his brothers started the “Starlighters,� which was later changed to “Jaime Mosley and the Dynamics,� and named for Mosley’s brother. Mosley’s music career picked up when he returned from the army and his tour of Vietnam and reconnected with schoolmate and musician Bob Johnson. After agreeing to a creative partnership,

the duo tried to decide on a name for a group and went through phases of “Bobby Johnson and the Messengers,� “Sam and Bob and The Soul Men,� and even “Mojoba,� before finally settling in on “The Mosley and Johnson Band.� While the name took a while to come up with, one thing was for certain, Mosley and Johnson’s music was in high demand in the Mississippi Hill Country and across the Magnolia State. In 1967, Mosley and Johnson started recording at the John Mahalic studio in Tupelo but their big break came in 1968 when, while performing at a Memphis nightclub, the duo was asked for some demos and was soon on its way to recording with Hi Recording Studio in Memphis. While with Hi Records, the pair released a pair of 45 records with the songs “Gimme Some Lovin’� and “Is It Over?� which Mosley performed under the pseudonym, David Duke. In 1971, Mosley and Johnson released their first album together, Mississippi Mud, under their own record label – Sabo Music – as Sam and Bob and the Soulmen. Soon after the release of Mississippi Mud, Mosley and Johnson found themselves at Malaco Records in Jackson and produced three albums for the central Mississippi label. In addition to their own record release, Johnson and Mosley also recorded for Polydor records in the 1970s as Mojoba before finally finding their identity as The Mosley and Johnson Band. During over 30 years working together, Mosley and Johnson, neither of whom had formal music training, steadily learned the music world and became one of the go-to duos for not only performing on stage but also in a studio and writing songs for other artists including Malaco artists such as Bobby “Blue� Bland, Little Milton, Johnnie Taylor and multiple other musicians throughout the Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama region like Z.Z. Hill and his hit song, “Down Home Blues.� Throughout their careers, Mosley and Johnson had the opportunity to work with the vaunted Muscle Shoals studio band in Alabama. Mosley and Johnson’s career continued to reach new heights throughout the 1980s with the release for the self-titled album “Mosley & Johnson� in 1985 and “Mosley & Johnson Premium� in 1987. Johnson and Mosley’s song, “Rock Me,� came off the 1985 album and the duo’s “Slide On,� helped the pair earn their first gold record for songwriting and producing.

Today in History Today is Thursday, Feb. 18, the 49th day of 2016. There are 317 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 18, 1516, Mary Tudor, the Queen of England who came to be known as “Bloody Mary” for her persecution of Protestants, was born in Greenwich.
On this date: In 1546, Martin Luther, leader of the Protestant Reformation in Germany, died in Eisleben. In 1861, Jefferson Davis was sworn in as provisional president of the Confederate States of America in Montgomery, Alabama. In 1885, Mark Twain’s “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” was published in the U.S. for the first time (after being published in Britain and Canada). In 1913, Mexican President Francisco I. Madero and Vice President Jose Maria Pino Suarez were arrested during a military coup (both were shot to death on Feb. 22). In 1930, photographic evidence of Pluto (now designated a “dwarf planet”) was discovered by Clyde W. Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. In 1943, Madame Chiang Kai-shek, wife of the Chinese leader, addressed members of the Senate and then the House, becoming the first Chinese national to address both houses of the U.S. Congress. In 1953, “Bwana Devil,” the movie that heralded the 3D fad of the 1950s, had its New York opening. In 1970, the “Chicago Seven” defendants were found not guilty of conspiring to incite riots at the 1968 Democratic national convention; five were convicted of violating the Anti-Riot Act of 1968 (those convictions were later reversed). In 1984, Italy and the Vatican signed an accord under which Roman Catholicism ceased to be the state religion of Italy. In 1995, the NAACP replaced veteran chairman William Gibson with Myrlie Evers-Williams, the widow of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers. In 2001, auto racing star Dale Earnhardt Sr. died in a crash at the Daytona 500.
One year ago: President Barack Obama, hosting a White House summit on countering violent extremism, said Muslims in the U.S. and around the world had a responsibility to fight a misconception that terrorist groups like the Islamic State were speaking for them.

Festival names programming head MEMPHIS — Memphis in May International Festival has announced Susan Elliot as the new Director of Programming, overseeing the festival’s arts, international culture, education and select entertainment programs. Elliot comes to Memphis in May from the American Queen Steamboat Company. Prior to American Queen, Elliot spent 20 years in event and program management with the University of Memphis, Memphis Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (MCVB), and Mud Island River Park, where she served as longtime museum curator among other roles. Of Elliot’s hire, Memphis in May International Festival President and CEO Jim Holt stated, “We feel Susan’s diversified professional experience and excitement for the City of Memphis make her a perfect addition to our team. We know she will bring new ideas and great strengths to our organization, as we embark on our 40th anniversary celebration this May.” As a native Memphian and proud University of Memphis alumnae, Susan has spent her career in roles that serve to better her community. Her work at the U of M allowed her to gain a deep understanding that education changes lives; while her work at both the MCVB and Mud Island River Park deepened her appreciation of Memphis’ cultural heritage and allowed
Black History Month: Campus reflects STARKVILLE — Brittney Robinson represents more than herself as she pursues her degree at Mississippi State. A sophomore communication major with an emphasis in theatre, the Ackerman native and valedictorian of her high school class is the first from her household to attend college. She said she wants to make her family and community proud. Beyond that, Robinson, who is African-American, said she wants to proudly represent her race. “I want to be a role model for young black people to show them they can be anything they want to be and that college is an option,” she said. Sometimes, Robinson admitted, the pressure of trying to be that role model can become heavy. But she said months like February, when Americans observe Black History Month, galvanize her purpose and push her to try even harder with her studies.
“Knowledge is power,” she said. “You have to know where you’ve been before you know where you are going.” More than 200 years after the nation’s founding, 150 years after a U.S. constitutional amendment abolished slavery and half a century since the legal end to racial segregation, celebrating Black history remains important, said Stephen Middleton, professor and director of African-American studies at MSU. For him, it’s not specific to race. Rather, it’s a reflection of the nation’s social progress. “It’s a celebration of what it means to be Americans, not just African-Americans, and it speaks to the freedoms we have as a nation,” he said. “What you see are stories of our nation’s evolution that illustrate how society can blossom to one that will expand, enlarge and include.” Middleton acknowledges the racial inequalities of the past, as well as instances of discrimination – racial and otherwise – that persist today. Truly moving forward from those issues, he said, will come when people stop looking at how they are different and instead focus on how they are alike. Specifically, he warns against employing race as a value standard for humanity or a rallying cry for action. He suggests instead a “balanced view” that makes it clear that skin tone has nothing to do with what people can achieve if they are afforded opportunity. Black history studies, he said, provide a wealth of examples of people who proved just that. “The color of skin is one of many problems civilization struggles with, but it’s not the only one,” Middleton said. “When we insert race into our dialogue, we are automatically making it combative and polarizing when it doesn’t have to be. Our society needs a policy of non-discrimination (to assure equal opportunities), but what I believe we will discover as we continue to progress and evolve is the oneness of humanity.”

her to see the power it holds with the rest of the world. On joining the Memphis in May team, Elliot says, “I can’t imagine a better organization to join than Memphis in May. I am honored to be a part of a successful team that promotes Memphis heritage and produces such a broad array of arts, international culture, education and entertainment programs and events.” Ms. Elliott will assume duties of long-time Vice President of Programming, Randy Blevins, who is departing the organization after 10 years of service to pursue entrepreneurial interests.

Letters to the editor
Couple returns lost wallet To the Editor: I lost my wallet somewhere between the Farmington area and U.S. 72 and Harper Road on Monday. I searched and searched to no avail. I then prayed. I prayed that if someone found my wallet, they would be inclined to do the right thing and try to find the owner. I want to tell all of your readers that we have some wonderful people in our community. Not only was my wallet found by someone who was inclined to do the right thing, but they bent over backwards to find a way to get in contact with me to return my wallet. This couple came to my house, but I was not home. They called people they knew who they thought might know my phone number. They finally got someone who knew my number and called, but I had left my phone at home while I was out for the night. When I finally got home after 10 p.m. that night, I came in to a ringing phone. It was this marvelous couple who wanted me to know they had my wallet. I went to their home and after many hugs I offered them a small reward for their efforts. They wouldn’t take the money. They said they were just glad to get it back to me. In these times with all of the bad and negative news, I just wanted to share how great God and our people in this community really are. I also want to thank everyone involved from the bottom of my heart. Sandy Enos CR 120, Corinth
Organ donation can save lives To the Editor: My life began on Feb. 15, 1947, in the Phillips community in Chester County, Tennessee. My mother said she couldn’t sleep that night because she was so glad God gave her a baby girl. She named me Sandra and said my name meant “helper of man.” I took it seriously. There are many things we can do to help others and I’d like to recommend what I’ve just completed. Both my pastor, Bro. Brian Rainey and one of my Bible drillers, Tabitha Rhodes, were very impressed with the nursing program at Union University in Jackson, Tenn. These students are given the honor of learning how to be of benefit to patients by the use of real donated human remains. It is amazing how complex and wonderful our bodies are and that through organ donation, or anatomical gifts, we can save lives and alleviate suffering. I have had a wonderful life and love my neighbors. If you are interested in this program, can call Melissa Hopper at Union University at 731-661-5050. Sandra Bass Michie, Tenn.
Prayer for today
Tragedy and choices Amid the petty bickering, loud rhetoric and sordid attack ads in this year’s primary election campaigns, the death of a giant – Justice Antonin Scalia – suddenly overshadows all of that. The vacancy created on the Supreme Court makes painfully clear the huge stakes involved when we choose a President of the United States, just one of whose many powers is the power to nominate justices of the Supreme Court. Justice Scalia’s passing would be a great loss at any time. But at this crucial juncture in the history of the nation – with 5-to-4 Supreme Court decisions determining what kind of country America will be – Scalia’s death can be catastrophic in its consequences, depending on who is chosen to be his successor. Given the advanced ages of other justices, the next president is likely to have enough vacancies to fill to be able to shape the future of the court that helps shape the future of America. Already many people are complaining that the America they grew up in, and loved, is being changed into something they can barely recognize. Record numbers are renouncing their American citizenship. Meanwhile, people with high level experience in the
Lord God, give me the will to hold to the truth and the strength to help keep the world true; and may I help others to look up and catch the truth from the purest light. Amen.

military and in the intelligence services are warning us against extreme dangers in a Cal world where Thomas our adversaries’ military Columnist power and aggressiveness are increasing, while our military forces are being cut back. Against this background, the frivolous rhetoric and childish antics in the televised political “debates” are painful to watch. If ever there was a time to choose a president with depth, rather than glitter or glibness, this is it. Whatever the achievements of anyone in some other field, we cannot afford a novice in the complex world of politics and government at a time of grave dangers at home and internationally. Some seem to think that Donald Trump’s lead in the polls and in the New Hampshire primary make him the most electable candidate, even if he often acts like an overgrown spoiled brat. But the fact that Trump leads in the polls does not mean that he is electable in the general election this fall. He is ahead only because the majority vote among Republicans has been split
among so many other candidates. Although Hillary Clinton is said to have been beaten badly in the Democrat’s primary vote in New Hampshire, she still had a higher percentage of the Democrats’ vote than Trump had of the Republicans’ votes. Unfortunately, the way the Republican primaries are set up, Trump can win all the delegates from some states without having to get a majority of the votes in any state. But in the general election in November, a candidate usually has to win a majority in a state, in order to win that state’s votes in the Electoral College. The Republicans can end up with a candidate who cannot even get a majority of Republicans’ votes, much less a majority of the votes in the general population. If, by some miracle, Trump became president, what kind of president would he be? Do we need another self-centered know-it-all in the White House to replace the one we have now? Among the other Republican candidates, Dr. Ben Carson is a monumental figure in his field, and he is clearly revered even by people who would not vote for him. But votes are how elections are decided. The governors among the Republican candidates can
at least be judged by how their track record stands up in running a governmental organization. So can Senator Ted Cruz, who was solicitor general in Texas. But Senator Marco Rubio has no comparable experience – and his inexperience has shown up in his abortive attempt to join Democrats in promoting amnesty. If the Republicans are to avoid having Donald Trump lead them – and the country – to disaster, they are going to have to have the majority of non-Trump supporters get behind some given candidate. Sen. Ted Cruz has been criticized in this column before, and will undoubtedly be criticized here again. But we can only make our choices among those actually available, and Senator Cruz is the one who comes to mind when depth and steadfastness come to mind. As someone who once clerked for a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, he will know how important choosing Justice Scalia’s replacement will be. And he has the intellect to understand much more.

Guns rain on Pass parade PASS CHRISTIAN — The Pass parade is big but homemade, not fancy or sequined like the more famous New Orleans extravaganzas only 55 miles away. Costumes are limited to funny hats, green, gold and purple Tshirts and drugstore boas. Floats are flatbed trailers or old school buses bedecked with beads. Not slick, but special. It is the Pass people who make the celebration, with a blend of enthusiasm and determination and unfettered fun. Carnival here is historic but, like everywhere else on the coast, constantly evolving. Some scolds criticize the dominating rock music, but nobody with a sense of fun seems to mind it much once the parade rolls. This year’s Pass parade seemed no different from three others I’ve seen over the years. The Sunday before Mardi Gras was sunny and cool – parade perfect – and police say the crowd reached 50,000, or 10 times the town’s population.

Children were everywhere, and those riding on the floats made an effort to get the Rheta best throws Johnson into smaller hands. Columnist Until it ended, the Pass parade might have illustrated how people can get along in the South, how a true amalgamation exists here like nowhere else. If a Martian had landed, he would have discovered a racially diverse, fun-loving, carefree, creative community. He might have said, “The heck with Mars,” and stayed. Then, the gunfire. Two men were killed. Both were fathers and bystanders, not involved in whatever anger or craziness prompted a dozen or more shots to be fired, reportedly by two different guns. Four other people were injured and hospitalized. Police are still looking for the shooters.
Residents were devastated. Rumors flew. Racial angle? Terrorism? Gang activity? Nobody knew. Some said the parade should be moved from the Pass. That it is too raucous on a good day. Others defended it. Just workingclass people enjoying Carnival in a way they could afford. “Chaos in the Pass,” headlines screamed. A video went viral. It was the only silver lining to the horrific event. In it, Pass Christian Police Sgt. Edward Walley is seen hugging and comforting a woman whose longtime partner had just been killed. The policeman happens to be white. The hysterical woman happens to be black. It was a hug that warmed us all. You can look at that video again and again and feel a gut-level hope, not just for future parades, but for all of humanity. Unlike so many of the images we’ve seen in recent years involving police and the AfricanAmerican community, this

one offers all of us comfort, not just the devastated victim. Walley was quoted as saying he was just doing his job. When the distraught woman rushed onto the crime scene, it could have gone another way. Police had no idea who she was or why she wasn’t staying back as ordered. But Walley’s hug saved the day. “You just try to comfort people,” he said later. And by doing so, he avoided adding insult to injury or, worst case, compounding a tragedy. And so the lessons from the parade that won’t soon be forgotten are still being drawn. One moral to the sad story we can see clearly now: Good people still exist in a troubled, threatening world.

Cross City Piece Makers attend state meeting For the Daily Corinthian
Several Piece Makers Quilt Guild members attended the spring gathering of the Mississippi Quilters Association in Oxford on Feb. 12-13. The meeting on Friday evening was held in the University of Mississippi Museum so members might enjoy an exhibit of renowned Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry’s creations entitled, “40 years of Color, Light and Motion.” A light supper was served by the Oxford Piecemakers Quilt Guild. The exhibit will continue until April 16. Admission is free. Saturday morning programs on quilting subjects were presented and a short business meeting was held to elect state officers for the coming year. Quilting events that are sponsored by the state organization were announced. After lunch individual mem-
bers were given a chance to show a quilt they had recently completed in the Show and Tell portion of the program. The Piece Makers also displayed the special raffle quilt “30’s Delight” which will be given away July 21 at a special anniversary meeting. Members from around the state were anxious to secure tickets for entry after hearing that well-known quilter Norma Grissom had appliqued one of the borders for the quilt prior to her passing last year. Piece Makers members attending in addition to those pictured were Connie Allen, Betty Denham, Jill Stewart, and Marcelle Bethany. They were joined by Needle Chasers guild members Sharon Stegall of Iuka, Doris Meeks of Burnsville, Dot Davis of Tupelo, and Lynn Blaylock of Fulton.
Attending the state meeting were (from left) Barbara Patterson, Sharon Stegall, President Gail Stables, Sharon Beene and Doris Meeks.
Campaign uses influential stories to help people quit smoking BY EMILY J. MCGRATH Project Director for MS Tobacco Free Coalition
Some 5,400 residents die every year from smoking-related diseases in Mississippi. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will continue its Tips from Former Smokers campaign to tell the story of how real peoples’ lives were changed forever due to their smoking. These ads will run in Mississippi from now to July 18 on television, radio, billboards, online, and in magazines and newspapers. “All the Tips ad participants
are heroes,” said Corinne Graffunder, DrPH, MPH, Director of CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health. “By courageously sharing their painful personal stories, they’re inspiring millions of Americans to make the life-saving decision to quit smoking.” This marks the fifth year of ads featuring real people who are living with the effects of smoking- related diseases. The Mississippi State Department of Health’s (MSDH) Office of Tobacco Control believes the impact of these real stories highlights the benefits of quitting for loved ones and the im-
portance of quitting for good, not just cutting back. “These ads are effective in bringing to life the devastating effects of smoking, helping people quit, and some to never start,” said Amy Winter, Director of MSDH Office of Tobacco Control. “As a public health advocate, I know all too well the terrible toll of smoking. MSDH is committed to helping Mississippians know the reality of smoking-related disease and death – and to prevent these realities from happening to them.” The Tips campaign serves as an important counter to the
more than $8.3 billion spent annually by the tobacco industry to make cigarettes more attractive and more affordable – particularly to youth and young adults. Experts agree that getting professional help can make a huge difference for those trying to quit smoking. Call the Mississippi Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669) to speak with health care experts about tobacco’s impact on health, receive advice on cessation options, and get free access to medications that can make

ILLUMINATION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
BY JIMMY REED Columnist
Because my lifelong friend and mentor Jaybird had seen many hucksters, hawkers, and horse thieves come and go in his lifetime, the old black man often warned me: “If a feller offers you sumpin’ that sounds too good to be true, it is.” But even he fell for the great rainmaking hoax. Before large-scale irrigation was feasible, droughts could lead to disaster for Mississippi Delta farmers. One year, Dad’s cotton crop had come up to a perfect stand, and a good rain was all the young seedlings needed … but no rain came. While at the hardware store purchasing a few items one day, Dad and Jaybird were commiserating with other customers about the dry spell, when a stranger spoke up. “I can help — I’m a professional rainmaker.” Desperation overrode caution, and they asked how much he charged.

and expand opportunities for students to take college courses while enrolled in high school. The district is also looking at providing differentiated diplomas and its own vocational programs. The proposed school calendar would run from Aug. 1 to June 15. The calendar would have an extended fall break from Oct. 3 to Oct. 21 and a spring break from March 13 through March 31. Christmas break would be the usual length, while the week of Thanksgiving would give students Wednesday through Friday off. The extended fall and spring break would become the time for remediation efforts rather than after the school year ends. The breaks could also be a time to offer intersession college courses through Northeast Mississippi Community College.
But even he fell for the great rainmaking hoax. “Well, it depends on how many bags of super dioxide crystals y’all want me to spread from my airplane,” he answered. “They make clouds suck in moisture, which in turn initiates condensation — rain, in other words. The plane will haul two bags. Each bag will run you $1000. The odds of getting the amount of rain y’all need with one bag are fair, but two bags is the best bet.” Dad and several of his neighboring farmers decided $2,000 was a bit too steep and chose to take their chances with one bag. “Okay. Here’s how it works. Tomorrow afternoon, build a huge bonfire in a spot that is centrally located in relation
to y’all’s farms, and keep it burnin’ as hot as possible. By mid-afternoon clouds will start building. I’ll fly above them and sprinkle the crystals. The heat from the fire and the crystals work together to initiate precipitation.” To the not overly learned farmers, the pilot’s scientific explanation sounded like a lead pipe cinch, and they anted up one grand for his services. With the bonfire roaring the next afternoon, the pilot swooped down, wagged his wings, did a few dippity-doos, ascended above the clouds, and spread the super dioxide crystals. By sundown not a drop of rain had fallen, and the farmers were certain a fly-by-night gypsy had gypped them. But along about midnight, thunder and lightning the likes of which will announce Judgment Day awoke everyone, and a downpour set in. It was no normal rain … it was more than a gully washer, a chunk floater, or even a frog drowner — it
had the makings of a levee breaker! Because reliable meteorology was in its infancy, the farmers had no foreknowledge that a huge front had moved across in the night, and Mother Nature, not the long-gone pilot, created the deluge. At sunup, Dad and Jaybird stared in disbelief across flooded fields. Only the tops of a few cotton plants peeked above the muddy water. Jaybird said what Dad was thinking: “Lordy mercy, Boss, ain’t no tellin’ what would’ve happened if y’all had paid that pilot to spread two bags of them dad-gummed super dioxide crystals.” (Oxford resident, Ole Miss alumnus, Army veteran, and retired Mississippi Delta cotton farmer Jimmy Reed (jimmycecilreedjr@gmail.com) is a newspaper columnist, author, and college teacher.

Interpretive Center and then formed a path into downtown, highlighting antebellum homes, the historic business district, the Contraband Camp and the historic railroad crossing. The SoCo District will be included in the placement of luminaries this year. Baum and the two camels have been a big hit in past Grand Illumination events. Baum started the education program in 1997 after discovering camels have been serving man for over 4,000 years. He found there was a lack of awareness of camels and desert ecology as well as the historic US Army Camel Experiment of the 19th century. “The camels are a draw during Grand Illumination weekend,” added Burns. School programs involving the camels will be held on Nov. 4. Living History programs will be held on both Nov. 5-6 at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center, according to Berry. Those wanting to get involved with Grand Illumination should call Johnson at Corinth Main Street. The number is 662-287-5269. “Brent is in charge of getting volunteers,” said Burns.
LESSONS FROM THE SNOW I stood at the window and silently watched the snow as it fell to the ground, and even though I am fully aware of the problems it may pose for us at times, and though I am now what our generation would call a senior citizen, I still enjoy watching it snow! Perhaps it is a sign that I am growing old, and therefore more reflective, I thought about what might be learned from my musings. On this particular occasion, the wind was fierce, and the snow appeared to be going several different directions at the same time as though vying for position or status, and yet, whether it came to rest on the grass, the pavement, or the window sill, its end was the same. It very quickly melted away, and was replaced by another with equal ferocity, and brevity of life. Kinda like people isn’t it? Using a different figure, but with the same lesson, the New Testament writer James asks, “What is your life? It is even a vapor which appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.” (James 4:14) Scientists tell us that no two snowflakes are exactly alike. WOW! How many billion of them have fallen this winter in this country alone? And everyone is different from the one next to it?! As humans we are all different , and yet God loves all of us. The children’s song says, “Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world.” We all have our own likes and dislikes , talents and abilities, weaknesses and strengths, yet God loves all (John 3:16) and can use us in his service when we come to him on his terms. (2 Timothy 2:21, 22) Like the snow flakes, individually, we may not be very strong ,but when we come together, there is beauty and strength. The language of the Bible uses snow to symbolize purity. In Psalm 51, David asks for God’s forgiveness for his sin with Bathsheba . In verse seven he prays, “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” Using the same figure, the Lord through the prophet Isaiah wrote,“Come now, and let us reason together saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:18) Only God, through the blood of his Son, can make our souls that clean. We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ.

Bush jabs at Trump, Rubio over security
Rebel symbol divides lawmakers BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press
Associated Press
BEAUFORT, S.C. — Jeb Bush is swinging hard at fellow Republican presidential candidates Marco Rubio, Donald Trump and John Kasich Wednesday, dismissing them as ill-prepared as he fights for his political survival. The former Florida governor says Rubio’s claim that Bush has no foreign policy experience is “a low blow.” Bush touts his two terms as governor and 30plus years in the private sector, which included overseas trade missions. He called Rubio, a U.S. senator from Florida, “a back-bencher” and “a guy whose office has a hard time actually saying what his accomplishments are.” National security is a key issue in the South Carolina primary. Bush is in a fight with Rubio, Ohio Gov. Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for second place to Trump’s commanding lead in Saturday’s primary. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is campaigning alongside Rubio for the first time
since endorsing his presidential bid. The Republican governor campaigned alongside Rubio during a Wednesday evening event in suburban Columbia just hours after news her endorsement was announced. She said there were a lot of good people running for president, but her job was to find one who could do the job best. She credited Rubio’s fight, passion and conviction. And she said she wanted to find a candidate who would prove to her immigrant parents they made a good decision by coming to America. Trump says he worries the Republican-led Senate may cave to President Barack Obama and appoint a new Supreme Court justice. At a rally in Walterboro, South Carolina, Trump says he’s “hearing these little cracks” that suggest the GOP might not hold its ground in opposing any nomination before the election to fill the seat of Justice Antonin Scalia, who died unexpectedly last week.

JACKSON — In Mississippi, the last state to display the Confederate battle emblem on its flag, some lawmakers want the divisive symbol removed, others want to punish public institutions that refuse to fly the banner and a state House leader suggests having two separate but equal flags: one with the rebel cross and one without. Old South symbols have come under widespread scrutiny since last June, when a white man who had posed for photos with the rebel flag was charged with killing nine black worshippers at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. Eight months after that massacre, Mississippi lawmakers remain deeply divided over their state’s banner. Several say it’s is an offensive reminder of slavery and segregation. They propose replacing it with stars or a magnolia, the state’s official tree and flower. Others say Mississippi’s 122-year-old flag represents history and heritage, and they propose stripping state funding from universities or local governments that refuse to fly it. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant says withholding state money is a bad idea. But he says voters, not legislators, should decide on the flag. Speaker Pro Tempore Greg Snowden, the House’s second ranking leader, proposes having two state flags with equal status, so people could fly whichever one they want — the current flag or an historical flag with a magnolia tree in the center. “My daughter and her
family live in Texas. You go out there and there’s a Texas flag on every corner,” said Snowden, a Republican from Meridian. “You don’t see that in Mississippi.” The Charleston shootings prompted South Carolina legislators and Gov. Nikki Haley to remove a Confederate battle flag from the Statehouse lawn. Even before they acted, Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn became the first prominent Republican in his GOPdominated state to say Mississippi should consider changing its flag. “As a Christian, I believe our state’s flag has become a point of offense that needs to be removed,” Gunn, a leader in his local Baptist church, said in June. Since then, however, Gunn has mostly been silent on the issue. For any flag proposals to survive this year, they must advance quickly. If bills aren’t brought up for a committee vote by Tuesday, they die. Meanwhile, rival groups are gathering signatures on petitions — one that would enshrine the current design in the state Constitution, and another that would remove any trace of Confederate symbolism from the banner. Neither measure could be on the ballot until 2018. The Mississippi Supreme Court ruled in
2000 that the flag, while widely used, had not been officially recognized by state law since code books were updated in 1906. In the fall of 2000, a flag commission held several hearings that devolved into shouting matches. Legislators put the matter to a statewide vote in April 2001. By a nearly 2-to-1 margin, voters chose the old flag over an alternative that would have displayed circles of stars representing Mississippi as the 20th state. Since the Charleston massacre, some Mississippi cities, counties and universities have stopped flying the state flag. Republican state Rep. William Shirley of Quitman said that became a hot topic of conversation at his catfish restaurant when the University of Mississippi stopped flying the flag. The consensus, he said, was that any school that takes state money should fly the flag. Shirley is now sponsoring legislation to pull state money from universities, community colleges or local governments that don’t fly the banner. “Whatever our flag is, I think public institutions or people that get government dollars need to fly whatever that is,” said Shirley, who supports keeping the Confederate emblem. Asked about efforts to change the flag, Shirley
said: “Where do we stop? What’s next?” Several African-American lawmakers, including Democratic Sen. Hillman Frazier of Jackson, propose replacing the current flag with the historical magnolia flag — the design Snowden proposes as a second flag. Although Mississippi used the magnolia flag during the Civil War, Frazier said he believes it would be widely accepted in the state with a nearly 38 percent black population. “It was not adopted by hate groups,” Frazier said. “It was not adopted by the Ku Klux Klan.” Gov. Bryant told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he still believes if the flag must be reconsidered, the current design and an alternate should be put on the ballot this November. “Let the people make this decision. That’s my position,” Bryant said. The governor said he opposes pulling state money from schools, universities or other public entities that shun the flag. That would only hurt young people who are trying to get their education, the governor said. “I’d rather not punish them for something that has a simple solution,” Bryant said. “And that solution should be, put it on the ballot and let the people decide.” Frazier, who served on the flag commission in 2000, said another flag vote would divide Mississippi. He said legislative leaders should adopt a new flag and Bryant should sign it into law: “They ought to take a page out of Gov. Haley’s book in South Carolina and do the right thing.”
aged by the scores, we still have work to do in decreasing the number of students who scored in the lower levels and increase the number of students who score proficient or advanced,” she added. “Test scores are not the only evidence of student achievement but they continue to be a research-based method of determining if student learning is on target.” In the current school year, the Mississippi Assessment Program administered through Questar is replacing the PARCC test.

Grades 3-8 were tested in the areas of mathematics and language arts. A kindergarten pre-assessment also took place. “While we want more of our students to meet (proficient, B grade) or exceed expectations (advanced, A grade) the fact that so many students scored at Level 3 which is approaching target provides evidence our teachers have increased rigorous expectations of their students,” she said. Johnson said there’s still a lot of work to be done. “While we are encour-

ABC programming head exits network LOS ANGELES — The head of ABC entertainment is exiting amid low ratings, to be replaced by the first AfricanAmerican to head a broadcast TV network. ABC Entertainment Group President Paul Lee has decided to leave, the network announced Wednesday. His successor is Channing Dungey, who has been ABC Entertainment Group’s executive vice president for drama development, movies and miniseries, overseeing drama pilots and series’ launches. Dungey shepherded ABC hits including “Scandal,� ‘‘How to Get Away with Murder� and “Quantico.� The changeover comes a year after Ben Sherwood became president of the Disney-ABC TV Group, and after Lee’s nearly six years as programming chief. “Channing is a gifted leader and a proven magnet for top creative talent, with an impressive record� of helping to create compelling and popular series, Sherwood said in a statement. Dungey is both the first black network programming chief and a rare female executive. While other women have served in top network jobs, similar positions at major networks CBS, NBC and Fox currently are held by men.
Florida couple claims share of jackpot TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — After cashing in a winning Powerball ticket for $327.8 million, a Florida couple has modest goals for their first purchases: a new car and a massage. David Kaltschmidt and Maureen Smith of Melbourne Beach were introduced in a news conference Wednesday at Florida Lottery headquarters after turning in the second of three winning tickets from last month’s record $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot. “It is scary and unknown. You think about what you want to do with the money (before actually winning it), and then all of those thoughts go out the win-
dow when it happens,â€? Smith said. “We are going to take care of family, but there is a lot to think about because it is all so stressful and new.â€? Kaltschmidt, 55, said he will retire from his job as a manufacturing engineer at Northrop Grumman after working there for 34 years. Smith, 70, identified herself as a homemaker. Kaltschmidt said he has lost 10 pounds in the past month because of sleepless nights but the jackpot won’t change his dayto-day life. Instead of designing airplanes, he said, he would be working for charities along with tax strategies and investments. Smith, though, sounded less sure about the effects of winning. “I’m afraid it will make me less friendly because of all the worrying,â€? she said. “You think about what is going to happen because we are no longer in a quiet place.â€? The husband and wife, together since 1980, are originally from Long Island, New York, but moved to Melbourne Beach in 1991. Â
Cancer charities accused of fraud NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The president of two Tennessee-based cancer charities accused of spending donations on six-figure salaries and luxury vacations has agreed to relinquish control of the businesses. In one of the largest cases of its kind, the Federal Trade Commission last year accused James T. Reynolds Sr. and others of engaging in a “massive, nationwide fraud� involving “sham charities.� Court documents filed this month say Reynolds agreed to temporarily hand over control of Knoxville-based Cancer Fund of America and Cancer Support Services to a receiver while a settlement is pending. The complaint says the charities spent less than 3 percent of contributions from individual donors on the cash and goods sent to cancer patients and nonprofits in the United States.

Cancer Fund of America’s direct patient aid program consisted of giving out boxes of “seemingly random itemsâ€? that typically included Carnation Instant Breakfast drink, adult briefs and bed pads and things like sample-sized soaps, Little Debbie snack cakes and blank seasonal greeting cards, according to the complaint. Individuals received the same items regardless of age, gender or clothing size. The complaint says the charity did not consult with medical professionals about the usefulness of the items to cancer patients. “Reynolds’ explanation for buying Little Debbie Snack Cakes for cancer patients was because ‘they make people happy.’ He justified a switch to purchasing Moon Pies because they ‘make you happier,’â€? the complaint says. Cancer Support Services also claimed to provide services to cancer patients, including hospice care, but actually existed solely to raise money for Cancer Fund of America, according to the complaint.

TVA weighs sale of unfinished plant BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Tennessee Valley Authority said Wednesday that it is considering whether to sell its unfinished Bellefonte Nuclear Plant, started in 1974 in northeast Alabama and mothballed for the past 28 years without ever producing any electricity. The federal utility announced it is taking public comments on whether to sell the 1,600-acre site on the Tennessee River near Hollywood, a town of about 1,000 people located 120 miles northeast of Birmingham. No potential price was mentioned, but TVA said it has spent about $5 billion at Bellefonte. A purchaser would get two unfinished lightwater nuclear reactors dating to the 1970s, transmission equipment, a helicopter landing pad, railroad lines, multiple buildings and parking lots.

Bill would allow more guns in churches JACKSON — Houses of worship could designate members to undergo firearms training and carry guns to protect the congregation, under a bill advancing at the Mississippi Capitol. The House voted 8632 Wednesday to pass House Bill 786, known as the “Mississippi Church Protection Act.â€? The proposal moves to the Senate for more work. Republican Rep. Andy Gipson of Braxton is an attorney and minister of a small Baptist congregation. He says he filed the bill in response to the church slayings last summer in Charleston, South Carolina. It would provide the same sort of immunity from prosecution that state law has given for several years to a person using a gun to defend a home, vehicle or business, if threatened. Â
Arguments open in pollution charges NEW ORLEANS — A Deepwater Horizon supervisor ignored a clear red flag and should be held partly responsible for the 2010 oil spill that blackened the Gulf of Mexico coast, a federal prosecutor argued Wednesday. Prosecutor Jennifer Saulino said in her opening statement that Robert Kaluza is one of two supervisors who ignored tests that showed pressure from oil and gas when there shouldn’t have been any. Kaluza is standing trial on a single misdemeanor charge of violating the Clean Water Act and could face up to a year in prison if convicted. Kaluza, who was the rig company’s day supervisor, and night supervisor Donald Vidrine both ignored critical test results that pointed toward a major malfunction in the making, Saulino said. Vidrine has pleaded guilty to the charge facing Kaluza and will testify for the prosecution. “Mr. Kaluza wasn’t the only reason� the well blew wild, Saulino said. “But evidence will show that he was one of the reasons,� and should therefore be held responsible.
Defense lawyers argued that Kaluza was only working a brief stint on the rig and now finds himself accused of “the greatest environmental crime in all our historyâ€? because he left a critical decision to more experienced people. Defense attorney Shaun Clarke told jurors that Kaluza had spent most of his career onshore, and had been working on a different offshore rig when he was sent as a four-day substitute for a Deepwater Horizon supervisor who had to renew his credentials. Rather than ignoring the pressure test, Clarke said, Kaluza told the crew to stop work before his shift ended, leaving the decision of what happened next to Vidrine, who had spent years with the Deepwater Horizon and its crew. He also said the main reason the well blew out is that BP PLC and rig owner Transocean had failed to do required 5-year maintenance on the rig’s blowout preventer. It should have been taken off of the rig, disassembled, repaired and put back together 4½ years before the accident on April 20, 2010, he said. Â
Road repair tax hikes considered JACKSON — House Transportation Committee Chairman Charles Busby says he’ll consider tax increases to raise money for the state’s transportation system. Transportation head Melinda McGrath told legislators Wednesday the department needs $526 million more to repair more than one-third of highways and more
than one-fifth of bridges in the state. She said costs for the repairs will only increase as long as repairs are delayed. McGrath asked legislators for at least $100 million each year for the next five years. Busby says he’ll bring a proposal to help raise the money in the coming weeks. He said he’ll consider tax increases as long as the money goes toward specific projects that need immediate repairs. Â
New charges filed in officer’s wounding JACKSON — Clarkdale police have filed new charges against the two men who they say were involved in the wounding of a Clarksdale police officer and robbery of a grocery store. Police arrested 19-year-old Johnny Robinson Jr. on charges of attempted murder and two new counts armed robbery. He’s being held on $700,000 bond. A second suspect in the robbery, 20-year-old Leandrew Booker, was arrested Tuesday on an unrelated outstanding warrant from the state Correction Department. He faces additional charges of conspiracy to commit armed robbery and armed robbery. It was unclear whether the men have attorneys Assistant Police Chief Robbie Linley said Wednesday Cpl. Derrick Couch remains in critical condition. Linley said Couch was a bit more responsive Tuesday, but still has a long road ahead of him. He was shot in the left eye Saturday while investigating a convenience store robbery.

Parents still worry about kids even after they’ve grown up D E A R ABBY: At least “Renee in Oregon,” who asked her adult daughters for their friends’ Abigail phone numcares Van Buren bers, enough to want someDear Abby one to call if her adult children don’t respond. I didn’t regard her request as nosy or overbearing, simply so she’d have a “just in case” number. Renee’s daughters sound like ungrateful brats who don’t care anything about worrying their parents. I’m thankful my four adult children will text me in response to my call to let me know they are OK. I have never had a problem getting a contact number from them for a neighbor or friend. Two of them offered the information without my asking. I have only had to call a contact once. Thank goodness it was only a matter of a stolen phone, not a sick or injured child. I’m blessed my kids understand that it’s not to get in their business, but a logical safety issue. -- LUCKY DAD IN KENTUCKY DEAR LUCKY DAD: I’m glad for you. The response from readers about Renee’s letter was varied, and it was informative to read their perspectives: DEAR ABBY: Thanks for your
answer to Renee. It validated my whole life as a daughter of a domineering mother. She is 92. I’m 62 and live 40 miles from her. I have a full-time job, take care of a small farm and still, after my weekly visit, have to call her to let her know I got home OK. She also asks for my friends’ phone numbers. I give her inaccurate ones so she can’t pester them. My office knows to not put her calls through. I have asked her to call my cell, leave a message and I’ll call her back when I am on break. When I was younger, if she couldn’t reach me by phone, she would call the police and the ERs, send my poor father to my house to look for me, or call my veterinarian to have him make a farm call -- just to be sure I hadn’t been ax-murdered. The negative effect this has had on our relationship is profound. I have tried repeatedly to explain it to her, but she has never “gotten it,” so I have created barriers in order to maintain boundaries. She has a number she can call for her in-home care providers, so if her need is real, she can get help -- and there’s always 911. I refuse to exist just for her to engulf. -- PURPOSELY CHILDLESS IN MISSOURI DEAR ABBY: Sometimes parents do need a contact person for emergencies. At what point should a person have to contact the police?
Years ago, parents here in Northern California didn’t hear from their adult son for a week or two. They thought he was with his live-in girlfriend. She thought he had gone to see them. Sadly, his body was found stuffed in an irrigation pipe weeks later. He had been robbed and murdered. Hopefully, Renee’s three daughters are close enough to have regular contact with each other and can call their parents on a regular timetable to check in and assure them all is well. -CALIFORNIA MOM DEAR ABBY: Telling Renee she was the reason her daughters moved so far away and don’t answer her calls was unnecessarily hurtful. You have no idea why her daughters are so distant. A better option would have been to suggest she approach her kids because she is concerned as their mother and they live so far from her. Rather than a list of their friends, she should ask each of them if there’s someone close to them she might use as an emergency contact. -- ANGIE IN MICHIGAN DEAR ABBY: I have two daughters. If I asked them for this information, they wouldn’t hesitate to hand it over. I think that’s because my approach with my girls has always been, the more I stay out of their lives, the more they tell me. I empathize with Renee and sincerely hope she learns to back off. -- NO PROBLEMS HERE
Horoscopes TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re not worried about whether or not you can rise to the occasion of what’s expected of you because you’ve already come to expect so much more from yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are times when getting ready for the event is just as fun as going to the event. Then there are times when it’s way more fun, which may be the case in the upcoming deal. Enjoy all of today’s preparations! CANCER (June 22-July 22). There will be many different entities competing for your attention and only you know which needs it most -- not necessarily the squeakiest wheel either. What’s noisiest isn’t automatically most important. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Opportunities seem to be rushing outside of your window, when in reality they are not. The chances worth taking are now, and have always been, inside you. Your
potential can be activated at any moment you will it to be so. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While some may be able to take comfort and heart in their associations, there is no security for you in the success of others. There’s something in you that has to make it on your own. It is not in your nature to form dependencies. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You believe in and work toward a better life for all -- not just a better life for you and yours. It is because of your broadminded efforts and elastic heart that you’ll net fantastic fortunes today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will achieve prominence in a community. This could be a social club, party affiliation, online community or other. However it shows up, enjoy knowing that this comes with power and a responsibility that you won’t take lightly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you hear yourself
speaking what you don’t mean or doing what you don’t want to do, stop and consider what might be causing this duplicity. Once you figure it out, realign yourself properly. You’ll be unstoppable. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The reason why you’re able to let the good (or otherwise) opinions of others roll off your back is that your private rating system for yourself is far more stringent than anyone else’s. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you know is enough. It’s what you’re supposed to know. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. It won’t highlight the holes in your knowledge, but it will fill them in. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The way you wish things were -- that is a good starting place from which your creative brain can weave a little magic. So what would you ask that genie in a bottle for today?

The federal budget deficit declined last year to an eight-year low of $439 billion. It was the sixth straight year that the deficit had fallen as a percentage of the economy. y However, both the Obama administration ministration and the Congressional Budget Office are forecasting that deficits will be rising again overr the coming decade, driven higher her by growing costs for Social Security and Medicare with the retirement of the baby boomers. In his final budget released on Oct. 9, Obama
projected deficits totaling $6.1 trillion for the 10 years ending in 2026. That total included $2.8 trillion in net tax increases aimed at restraining g future deficits — tax hikes the Republican-controlled Congress is unlikely publican-controlle to adopt. The C CBO forecast, which is based on the th assumption current law is unchan unchanged, projects an even bigger 10-year deficit of $9.4 1 trillion. Economists say Washington policymakers will have to address the swelling deficits or face the danger that they will do harm to economic growth.

some time ago, and has slowly gone from a very intelligent man to a human cesspool. He burps loudly and thinks his flatulence is amusing, and he believes that I should just put up with both. After years of trying to be a supportive spouse, this is the thanks I get. It’s not funny to me any longer, but I don’t have the nerve to tell him that I’ve lost all respect for him. I cannot bring friends to the house because of his boorish behavior, which I suspect is just what he wants. I used to admire my husband. Now I wouldn’t care if something happened to him, if you know what I mean. If I had one wish, it would be not to have him in my life any longer. Do you have any suggestions? — Frat Boy’s Wife Dear Wife: We have a few. If you don’t communicate clearly with your husband, he will not know how you feel. Tell him you have lost all respect for him. Insist he see his doctor to find out why he cannot control his bodily functions, since this change in his previous behavior could indicate a small stroke or
dementia. (That might get his attention.) Tell him you are ready to walk out the door, because that is an easy way not to have him in your life. And if you truly mean it, you ought to do it. Otherwise, absent yourself as much as possible. Go out to dinner with friends and leave him at home. Find a hobby that gets you out of the house. Take long vacations to see the relatives. Book a trip with a tour group. Many couples find a modicum of contentment living independent lives when too much closeness becomes suffocating. Dear Annie: I’m writing about “Crying Mother,” who wondered why her once loving daughter-inlaw now seems cold and distant. I could be that daughter-in-law. It’s possible that it’s not a personal issue at all. It may be a life-stage issue. When my children were young, I regularly saw my mother, as she provided care for them when I was at work part time. We regularly had dinners with
I’ve gone back to work full time. My children are older and are involved with music, sports, church, scouts and other activities. I see my family twice a month and on holidays. I see my in-laws roughly the same amount. This is not distance or estrangement. It’s time management. There are only so many hours to go around. We still make time for family, but it is definitely different than when the kids were little and had no activities. My parents, in-laws and I communicate well most of the time, but with less communication, there may be less understanding. — Juggling It All Dear Juggling: You have made some excellent points. Grandparents often don’t understand (and can resent) the time kids spend in various activities and with their friends. Kids tend to become increasingly busy the older they get, and although they love their grandparents, they prefer to be with their classmates. Divorced parents often have similar issues. Open communication is important so that there are fewer negative assumptions.

A WEEKLY SPIN AROUND THE WORLD OF COLLEGE HOOPS
1. KANSAS’ BIG 12 TITLE STREAK IS SAFE AGAIN Kansas showed last week why it’s been impossible for 12 years to swipe a league title from its grasp. The Jayhawks started the week with a 75–65 win over West Virginia and then followed with a 76–72 win at Oklahoma. The win over the Sooners in Norman, a rematch of a three-overtime classic, was less dramatic than the meeting in January. Kansas jumped to a 20–6 lead and stymied Buddy Hield early. Guard Devonte Graham had the game of his life with 27 points and standout defense against the presumptive National Player of the Year.

4. NOTRE DAME IS DANGEROUS AGAIN When Kentucky seemed invincible last season, Notre Dame was the team that gave the Wildcats their toughest test before the Final Four with a 68–66 decision in the Elite Eight. This Notre Dame team might not be that good, but the Irish are starting to look like a dangerous team down the stretch. Mike Brey’s team has wins over North Carolina and Louisville in its last three to go with victories over Iowa on a neutral court and at Duke earlier this year. That’s a nice rÊsumÊ. The Irish have a star point guard in Demetrius Jackson, a solid big man in Zach Auguste and the nation’s top offense, according to KenPom. com. The defense, ranked 230th on KenPom, indicates a ceiling, but the Irish are 8–1 against Duke, North Carolina and Louisville the last two seasons.

Kansas State beats TCU to end 13-month league road skid The Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — Kansas State coach Bruce Weber decided accentuating the positive was the best way to finally end a Big 12 road losing streak that lasted 13 months. Weber showed his struggling Wildcats a highlight film of their top plays before Tuesday night’s game at TCU. They went out and beat TCU 63-49 led by Justin Edwards’ 17 points. Kansas State (15-11, 4-9) last won a conference road game on Jan. 10, 2015 at Oklahoma. “We said, Hey, this is you,’ “ Weber said of the self-scouting report. “ ‘You can be this good. You can play this way,’ I don’t know
if it helped or not. They just kept fighting through. “The last thing I wrote on the board - ‘Do what you do and do it well.’ That’s what we tried to show ‘em on that tape.� The Wildcats improved their road record this season to 2-7. Their other win came at Georgia on Dec. 4. Edwards returned to the starting lineup after coming off the bench for three games. Barry Brown added 16 points and Dean Wade 14 for the Wildcats. Malique Trent led the Horned Frogs (11-15, 2-11) with 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds. TCU squandered a chance to escape the conference cellar and move into a three-
way tie for eighth place. The Wildcats won despite shooting only 38.8 percent, holding the Frogs to 32.7 percent. TCU, last in conference scoring at 60.5 points going into the game, failed to break 50 for the second straight game. The Frogs lost 7342 at West Virginia on Saturday. “It’s contagious and it’s tough when things aren’t going well, but there’s no secret to it,� Frogs coach Trent Johnson said. “The responsibility’s on me to get this thing to where they’re playing right. Our fan base deserves better.� TCU’s Chauncey Collins was 3-for-13 shooting and finished with nine points
after equaling a careerhigh 20 at West Virginia last Saturday. He said the players aren’t on the same page. “Sometimes we’re not ready to compete, not ready to play,� Collins said. The 14-point win was Kansas State’s largest since it beat Oklahoma State 89-73 on Jan. 23. Brown, a freshman, was 4 for 6 from 3-point range. He hit all four of his fieldgoal attempts in the first nine minutes, including three 3s, and had 11 firsthalf points. “We were yelling in the locker room before the game. I suppose that carries over.� The Wildcats built a 26-11 lead nine minutes in, outshooting
the Frogs 61.5 percent to 27.3. To that point, TCU had more field goals made from behind the arc (2 for 6) than inside it (1 for 6). The Frogs cut a 13-point deficit to nine points with 13:59 left in the second half but got no closer. Kansas State’s 17-point lead midway through the second half was its largest of the game.
Tip-ins
Kansas State: The Wildcats got only seven bench points. . Wesley Iwundu went into the game leading K-State averaging 12.4 points but scored only five points, on 1-for-10 shooting. TCU: The Frogs outscored K-State 24-22 in the paint but hit only three of 16 3-pointers. . Karviar Shepherd returned after Sick bay missing two games with a K-State’s D.J.

The Kossuth Lady Aggies are back at the Mississippi High School Activities Association’s State Bowling Tournament. That in itself, was an accomplishment for the defending Class I champions. “We’ve done way better than I expected,” said thirdyear coach Creighton Nelms. “We lost seven bowlers from last year’s championship team and I was hoping we’d just make it back down to Jackson.’ Kerissa Martin, who joined Sara Talley on the All-Regional First Team, was the lone returner from last season. Winning the North Regional has
made Nelms reevaluate his goal. “We might as well win it while we’re here,” Nelms said with a laugh. Play begins today at 10 a.m. at Metro 24 Bowling Center in Jackson. Five members from each of the eight teams will bowl five games, with the top two squads in total pinfall facing off in a best-of-5 Baker series. The five bowlers will alternate among the five frames, with Player 1 throwing the first and sixth frame, Player 2 the second and seventh, and so on. The first team win three games claims the state championship. The Lady Aggies (11-4) qualified for the season-
ending event by winning the Class I North Regional held Feb. 11 at Rebelanes in Tupelo. Kossuth recorded a total pinball of 2,662 to reach the championship round where it beat Mantachie 3-1 in Baker. The Lady Mustangs also qualified by finishing second. They are joined by Regional champions New Albany (Central) and Richland (South) and runners-up Itawamba (Central) and North Pike (South). Two wildcard spots went to Tupelo Christian Prep and Tremont — both from the North — for having the highest pinballs among the nonautomatic qualifiers. Talley led the Lady Aggies in the qualifying round with
a 556 over five games. Other scores included Martin (552), Marlee Mask (523), Macy Mask (517) and Alison Patton (514). • The Aggies will also be in action today following a runner-up finish at the boys’ North Regional. It’s the second straight trip and third overall for the Kossuth boys. Kossuth finished as the Class I runners-up in 2015. “We didn’t lose much,” said Nelms. “We returned everyone but two, and the ones we have are pretty good.” Kossuth (14-1) finished second to TCPS with a pinfall of 3,863.

Kossuth knocked off the top seed for the second straight season. One year after earning a berth in the Division 1-3A Tournament championship as a No. 4 seed, Kossuth did it again on Wednesday. Kossuth (15-14) held off a late Booneville charge to knock off the top-seeded Blue Devils 59-57 in the second of four semifinal contests at Northeast Mississippi Community College.
Last season KHS knocked off North Pontotoc in semifinal action before falling to Mooreville.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina and Dawn Staley are in position to join some pretty select company in the Southeastern Conference. The Gamecocks could become just the second SEC women’s basketball team to finish 16-0 in conference play. While the players say they’ll hold off on any SEC title celebrations until the season’s
done — South Carolina (24-1, 12-0) can clinch the outright crown with a win against Georgia (19-6, 7-5) on Thursday night — the magnitude of the accomplishment is not lost on their coach. “I’m thinking about it,” Staley said Wednesday. Undefeated SEC seasons are nothing new in the conference: Tennessee has had nine of them, including the only
other 16-0 run in 2011. For Staley, the feat is more proof that the Lady Vols’ longtime hold on the SEC has shifted a bit to the Southeast. The Gamecocks clinched a share of their third consecutive SEC title Monday night with a 62-56 win over No. 24 Tennessee, just the second time South Carolina has won in Knoxville. No school had captured three straight SEC
regular-season championships since Tennessee won seven in a row from 19982004. Alaina Coates, a junior who has known nothing but SEC titles at South Carolina, said the players are happy with another conference crown, just not satisfied. “This year, we’re just going Please see UNDEFEATED | 13
NASCAR’s new charters create puzzling payouts The Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR’s new charter system was introduced as a monumental moment in auto racing — a triumphant merger between a one-time dictatorship and a group of team owners finally organized enough to demand their fair share of the financials. The franchise-type model introduced days before teams arrived at Daytona Interna-
tional Speedway has been celebrated for a series wracked with instability because of an independent-contractor model that forced competitors to heavily rely on sponsorship. Now the owners are guaranteed a bigger chunk of the pot and 36 slots in the field every week. The drivers? Well, most aren’t so certain how good of a deal this is for their bottom
line. “I think anyone would like to know before the terms of their employment change, but that is not the situation,” Brad Keselowski said. “I am aware of the fact that I am a race car driver, and no matter what happens, I am still going to be OK. I am not looking for anyone to feel bad for me. On the other side, it is not ideal. “It would be like if your employer just said, ‘Hey, don’t
worry about it, you will get paid.’ That is kind of where most every driver is.” The charter system has completely overhauled how drivers will be paid. Drivers typically negotiated individual contracts with team owners in which they were promised specific salaries and percentages of each week’s purse. The new system has set Please see NASCAR | 13

crown. KHS and TCPS will be joined by Regional champions New Albany (Central) and Florence (South) and runnersup Itawamba (Central) and St. Joseph (South). Wildcard entries include North squads East Union and West Union. Peyton Lee topped
Kossuth with an even 900 over five games and earned First Team AllRegion honors. Nik Wilcher and Jacob Wilcher were named to the Second Team. Nik was second on the team with a 788 and Jacob third with a 763. Cole Tomlin bowled a 695 while Kadan Cooper and Cody Weaver combined for the fifth spot.

finish the season out first before we celebrate anything,” she said. Sounds like a solid plan since the Gamecocks have shown a lack of focus after clinching the league’s top spot. The Gamecocks followed an emotional victory over Georgia to earn the 2014 title with a sluggish showing to lose their final regular season game at Tennessee. South Carolina was 15-0 in the SEC last year and could’ve won the league title outright if not for another regularseason finale flop (at Kentucky) that opened the door for the Lady Vols to grab a share of the 2015 championship. “This year, we’re just trying to continue the season without hiccups to finish out so we can just outright be champions,” Coates said. “16-0 and leave it at that.” The closing stretch favors South Carolina, whose only loss this season was against No. 1 UConn earlier this month. The Gamecocks, 41-3 against SEC opponents the past three seasons, have won the past three games against Georgia. They’ve won 11 straight
against Alabama (all by double digits), who they travel to Monday. The final week of the season includes a trip to Ole Miss (fell 81-62 at South Carolina earlier this season) and closes at home against LSU, which has lost five straight to the Gamecocks by an average of more than 18 points. “We just have to stay focused and keep doing what we do,” said Coates, who went scoreless but had 10 rebounds and four steals in the Tennessee win. “When we execute, we end up getting a positive result out of it.” This year, that’s another SEC title. Staley has taken some time since Monday night to enjoy her team’s SEC run. “You want to enjoy the journey because eight years ago, we lost five SEC regular season titles if you want to look at it like that,” Staley said, laughing. “They’ve accomplished something probably no one in the state of South Carolina thought could get done here, so it’s worthy of saying it.” Staley, though, is prepping her team for bigger things beyond the SEC.

aside a fixed portion of the purse for the 36 charter teams, and an additional portion that goes to charter teams based on a performance scale. Starting with last weekend’s exhibition race at Daytona, the race winnings and total purse were not publicized as had been the norm. NASCAR had touted transparency in the charter agreement, but now the public — and some drivers — won’t know how prize money was distributed. Drivers said that when the final charter deal was signed by NASCAR and team owners, the language surrounding their method of pay differed from what they had been led to believe. Most are now scrambling to renegotiate the driver compensation part of their contracts. “I think that everyone will have to have something redone within their contract,” Denny Hamlin said. “There’s verbiage in stuff that has changed how drivers get paid from the purse. There’s not one common standard that one driver or team offers that’s going to be the same. It’s up to the individual driver and owner to work out those details.” Many weren’t concerned about ultimately finding a fair solution with their respective owners. Some weren’t pleased with the timing. “Everybody knew there was going to be some contractual stuff that we had to work through,” Kevin Harvick said. “For me, I wanted it to happen as openly and as quick as possible because I didn’t want it
to linger and have things be brought up that really didn’t need to be brought up and cause tension between teams. “That was my ultimate goal. I’m not going to sit around and pinch pennies just because of the fact I think I’m being treated unfairly. I want to just be treated fairly. That was really all that I was looking for. I felt like our team did that.” Two years ago, drivers wanting a larger voice in industry issues created a text chain that allowed them to vent and debate solutions. At the time, their biggest concern was the direction of the on-track product. Over time, their confidence grew and they asked to be heard on competition matters. They also wanted to know what was going on behind the scenes with their bosses and the NASCAR brass. It led to a creation of an elected driver council. Last year’s inaugural 10-member council included Hamlin, Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, Kyle Larson, Joey Logano, Clint Bowyer, Greg Biffle, Jamie McMurray and Jeff Gordon. Because NASCAR trimmed the field by three cars to 40, the driver council was cut to nine this season. Gone are Bowyer, Biffle, McMurray and Gordon, replaced by Keselowski, Jimmie Johnson and current NASCAR champion Kyle Busch. The council is taking some credit for the creation of a new overtime rule instituted this year, and the drivers hope their collective voice will ensure all of them get proper compensation under the new charter system.

Messi surpasses 300 Spanish league goals The Associated Press
MADRID — Lionel Messi scored his 300th and 301st goals in the Spanish league on Wednesday as Barcelona defeated Sporting Gijon 3-1 to open up a six-point lead atop the standings. Luis Suarez also scored for Barcelona in Gijon in a game postponed from December because of the Club World Cup. The win gave Barcelona 60 points, six more than Atletico Madrid and seven more than third-place Real Madrid after 24 rounds. Messi opened the scoring with a well-struck low shot in the 25th minute and added his second from close range in the 31st, four minutes after Sporting equalized with striker Carlos Castro in a breakaway at the El Molinon Stadium. Suarez missed a chance to add to his league-leading 24 goals when his 62nd-minute penalty was saved by Sporting goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar, but the Uruguay striker sealed the victory five minutes later after a nice move in-
side the area. This time there was no controversy with the way the penalty was taken. Messi and Suarez attracted the world’s attention on Sunday when the Argentine star rolled the ball to the side for Suarez’s goal instead of taking the shot himself. Messi is the Spanish league’s all-time scoring leader with 301 goals in 334 games. He has scored 15 this season. “It’s a privilege to be able to count on Leo,” Bar-
celona coach Luis Enrique said. “We faced some difficulties against a team that knows how to defend well, but I think we played a very complete game.” The win — Barcelona’s 12th in the last 13 games — extended the club’s record streak of 31 games without a loss. The Catalan club hasn’t been defeated since a 2-1 result at Sevilla in the league’s seventh round in October. Barcelona’s biggest league lead had been four points, in the 12th and 13th rounds in November. No other team has had more than a two-point advantage atop the standings this season. “It’s not been easy because our opponents have been playing against us with extra motivation,” Barcelona defender Aleix Vidal said. “What matters in the end is regularity and we’ve been doing a very good job so far. We have to keep this going, we can’t afford a letdown.” Wednesday’s game was postponed from the 16th round because Barcelona was playing at FIFA’s Club
World Cup in Japan, a tournament it won. Sporting remains 16th in the 20-team standings with 23 points, two above relegation zone. Messi got on the board with a long-range shot that hit the far corner, then scored with a quick strike after a pass by Suarez. Just after having his shot from the spot saved by Cuellar, Suarez scored his 24th league goal with a left-footed shot into the far corner after fending off a defender inside the area. Sporting scored just two minutes after Barcelona opened the scoring, with Castro getting behind the defense to steer home a low cross by Alex Menendez. Neymar struck the post with a remarkable curling shot in the 33rd. The game was extra special for coach Luis Enrique, who is from Gijon and grew up together with Sporting coach Abelardo Fernandez. They later played together for Barcelona in the 1990s and remain good friends.

gle-digits. An obviously happy Coach Brian Brown praised his team for their play in the game. He said Michael White, Josh Northcutt, and McClendon played their best games of the season. White is the other fresh-
man that has played a big role on this year’s young team. Walker topped the Bobcats in scoring with 16 points. McCullar added 14, Michael White scored 12, Vinnie White added 11, Jeremiah Sanders chipped in 10.
