Thunderstorms, high winds coming BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
Last week, the Crossroads area was covered in a blanket of snow and ice. Fewer than 10 days later, warmer temperatures made way for an increased chance of severe weather, according to the Nation-
al Weather Service in Memphis. The NWS released an alert Wednesday cautioning areas east of the Mississippi River of the threat of severe weather today during the late afternoon to early evening. “The squall line will move across the Mid-South produc-
ing primarily damaging winds and thunderstorms,” said the NWS. “There will also be a slight chance one of these storms might produce a tornado.” Today’s forecast calls for showers and thunderstorms with a high near 76. Wind gusts out of the south could reach as

“So, everybody whistle Dixie, when they lay me in the ground. When that cold wind comes to get me, I don’t want nobody standin’ ’round sheddin’ tears and feelin’ sorry. ’Cause I’m gonna go to see my God. Hey everybody whistle Dixie. Let ’em lay me ’neath the sod.” — “Whistle Dixie” by Darryl Worley Relatives, friends and loved ones gathered in the Chapel of Memories at Magnolia Funeral Home this week to honor and celebrate the life and legacy of music icon Jimmy Ray Pyle. Pyle died Saturday at the age 70. A private concert and celebration was held Tuesday in his honor and performed by a handful of his many friends. Performers in attendance were Jennifer Woodfin, Billy Terry, Billy Lawson, Wayne Jerrolds, Darryl Worley, The Jake Landers Band and friends, Cheryl McCoy, the Harmoniers, Larry Casabella and New Outlaws and Kay Bain to name a few. “Jimmy always told me, you can’t just settle for the first line that pops in your head.

We may never be the same, but I got memories in the Louisiana Rain...” “It was probably Jimmy’s favorite song,” said Worley as he completed the tune. “We recently had close to an hour-long conversation and I was so thankful for that. We laughed and talked about how horrible the state of country music is today. He got a kick out of me calling it ‘foreign country,’” said Worley, as he began a more upbeat number he wrote, called “Whistle Dixie.” Got a whole lot out of livin’, my simple southern life.

Worley is a native of Hardin County who stages the Tennessee River Run every September. Worley’s six albums have produced 18 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including three Number Ones: “I Miss My Friend,” “Have You Forgotten?” and “Awful, Beautiful Life.” Nine other singles have reached the Top 40. Pyle, an Iuka resident whose recording studio was in Burnsville, is remembered as a kindhearted man who invested in the lives of many. “Daddy opened the door to Nashville for a lot of people, Darryl included,” said daughter Regina Pyle Ahmad. “He always said he didn’t make any money in the music studio.” In addition to his contributions to the music industry,
Mississippi voters will decide if the right to hunt and fish should be added to the state’s constitution when it appears on the ballot in November. If passed, the vote would add language to the current constitution which would make it harder to change in the future, since doing so requires legislative action followed by approval of voters. “It is no secret that Mississippians love to hunt and fish,” said District 2 Rep. Nick Bain (D-Alcorn). “I support it 100 percent. The vote should be an easy decision for citizens.” The Legislature decided in 2012 to put the issue before voters, but kept it off the ballot until 2014. The 2012 ballot already had heavy constitutional proposals including

Groups relate event success to tourism dollars BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Advertising dollars can make the difference. Members of the Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau board received two testimonies on how tourism money helped two events during its February meeting Wednesday. The seven-person board also approved two funding requests in a meeting moved from its usual Tuesday slot to Wednesday. Farmington Mayor Dale Fortenberry updated the board on the Battle of Farmington reenactment. “Had it not been for the advertising money, the event wouldn’t have been successful,” said the mayor of the $5,000 grant of the CACVB last year. “Tourism has been right there with us since we started the reenactment.” Fortenberry informed the group the Battle of Farmington reenactment is skipping this year, but will return in 2015. “We will alternate every year with Iuka,” he said. “It will be hard to get reenactors after this year … once all the 150th events are over, the glamor days of reenactments will be gone.” Fortenberry told the board
the popular school days will continue during the third week in September celebration. In 2015, Fortenberry is looking at a plan which will incorporate the whole county. “We are going to call it the Final Battle and Surrender of Mississippi since it will be the 150th year of the end of the Civil War,” said the mayor. “People want to come to Corinth because of the rich history … we still have a lot of work to do, but we think we can make it work.” The board received a funding evaluation report from organizers of the Physician’s Urgent Care Lighthouse Thanksgiving Classic high school basketball event held in November. According to Lighthouse Foundation Board President Vince Overholt, an estimated crowd of up to 5,500 attended the event over two days. Teams from five states competed in the two days of basketball at Corinth High School. “I believe this was the largest two-day tourism/economic impact event in 2013,” said Overholt in the report. “We believe the potential exists to make this a national event.” There were 200 motel rooms sold due to the event, according
to the report. In other CACVB business, Green Market, which begins its sixth season in April, was granted $2,500 to be used for advertising throughout the year. “Last year, we had 173 different vendors with over half coming from outside Alcorn County,” said Crossroads Museum Executive Director Brandy Steen. Green Market advertising will also be included in tourism ads to run in four other publicans in 2014. The board also voted to grant $2,500 of a $3,000 request for an indoor motocross event to be held at the Crossroads Arena on March 1. “It should bring in about 3,000 people from what I understand,” said tourism director Christy Burns. “This will be a chance for the arena to make some money.” Board member Laura Albright, who is also chairman of the Corinth Home & Garden Tour, informed the group the dates for annual tour are set for April 4-6. Proceeds from the event will go to benefit the Verandah-Curlee House. The next meeting of the board is slated for March 18 at 8 a.m.

Official to plead guilty in federal cases
Jimmy Ray Pyle sits in his studio.

Pyle was also an inventor. “It was just natural for Jimmy to be free,” said sister Dwanna Bergeron. “He wasn’t arrogant. He never forced anything upon anyone. He also never stopped. His mind was always inventing stuff to make life easier for everyone.” Wayne Jerrolds remembers his friend of nearly 50 years as a man of great character and dignity. “He was a fine musician. It was in his blood to follow suit. He was a true gentleman in every respect, I’ll tell you that,” said Jerrolds, a well known Bluegrass artist who has a park named after him in Savannah, Tenn. A lyrical version of “Amazing Grace” echoed through the room as Cheryl McCoy paid tribute to her late friend and business partner. “He was a perfectionist. He was gonna have it perfect or not at all,” said McCoy. “We went in as partners and bought a radio station. I told him we didn’t know anything about a radio station. We had some good times together.” “Not only was he a perfec-
tionist, but he was honest as the day is long,” said Worley, who released four albums with DreamWorks Records in Nashville. “Everything people have said is true today. He’d be really happy about this. I guarantee you, he is smiling.” Pyle had an ear for music and could pick out even the slightest sounds, friends agreed. “He would work with you. He could hear things that nobody else could hear,” said Bro. Jimmy Daniel of the Harmoniers. “He once told me my timing was off on my guitar and I needed to pat my foot. I looked like a rocking horse trying to pat my foot,” said Larry Casabella. He laughed as he demonstrated for the crowd. Casabella and New Outlaws began a chorus of “I Can’t Stop Loving You.” I can’t stop loving you. I said I made up my mind to live in memory of the lonesome times... “My daddy never met a stranger. He did what he said he’d do even if it cost him money,” said Ahmad. “He was always trying to help someone. He’d give free
recording minutes in the studio, let them get set up and practice a little bit and teach them how to use the mic to make the sound better. I remember someone cutting an album once for only $75.” He was an artist, performer, studio owner, songwriter, musician, producer, radio station owner, carpenter, carpet store owner, selfmade businessman, a Red Cross volunteer and a pilot, noted family members. Jennifer Riddle Woodfin remembers her mentor as a sweet, soft-spoken man who never yelled. “I don’t know where I’d be if it wasn’t for him. I certainly wouldn’t be in Murfreesboro, Tenn.,” said Woodfin. “Everything I am today is because of him. Jimmy taught me how to write. He could dissect a song better than anyone and when he talked, you listened.” Yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine. So for my sake teach me to take one day at a time... “Jimmy isn’t on a walker where he is now,” remarked one friend. “He walking around kicking up gold dust.”
GULFPORT — The former director of the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources plans to plead guilty in a federal fraud case, according to a motion filed Wednesday. Court records show William W. “Bill” Walker will plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the government. A changeof-plea hearing is scheduled for March 10 in U.S. District Court in Hattiesburg. Walker was indicted along with his son Scott Walker and former DMR employees Tina Shumate and Joseph Ziegler Jr., on charges that include conspiracy to commit federal-program fraud, and conspiracy to commit mail fraud. The three had been scheduled for trial June 2. The case involves the Department of Marine Resources and the Mississippi Marine Resources Foundation. The charges against the Walkers and Shumate stem from a land transaction involving property the father and son had an interest in. Shumate persuaded a
nonprofit to buy the land with money supplied by the DMR, the indictment says. The charges against the Walkers and Ziegler involve a private foundation Bill Walker founded in 2004, about two years after he became DMR director.
Sunday alcohol sales approved in Oxford OXFORD — The Oxford Board of Aldermen has approved an ordinance allowing restaurants to sell liquor on Sundays. The board voted 6-1 Tuesday. The ordinance will go into effect in 30 days. If state regulators agree, Oxford restaurants will offer liquor, wine and beer by the glass every Sunday between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. It does not affect retail liquor and wine sales, which are limited to state-licensed package stores. State law limits when those stores can operate. After decades of a near-total ban on Sunday alcohol, the city in 2011 legalized Sunday sales by the drink on nine or 10 Sundays a year, including football weekends at the University of Mississippi.

fishing. We don’t want anybody dabbling with our sportsmen’s way of life,” said District 1 Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo), lead sponsor of the resolution. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 17 states currently guarantee the right to hunt and fish in their constitutions. Supporters are motivated by concerns over animal rights groups that have challenged hunting rights elsewhere, while opponents say such provisions clutter a constitution and overstate the
threat to sportsmen’s activities. “It is our right to protect and treasure hunting and fishing traditions for future generations of sportsmen,” added Bain, who calls himself a life-long fisherman and hunter. The proposal wouldn’t change the Mississippi wildlife commission’s ability to regulate hunting and fishing or the Legislature’s ability pass hunting and fishing laws. The measure also won’t affect laws regarding trespass, property rights, maintenance of levees or regulation of commercial activities. (The Associated Press contributed to this report.)

Museum exhibit highlights Alvin York SAVANNAH, Tenn. — The Tennessee River Museum in Savannah is hosting a special temporary exhibit featuring World War I hero and Tennessee native Alvin C. York. “He’s a Tennessee legend. We are very fortunate to catch this wonderful exhibit between bookings. We were just in the right place at the right time,� said curator and President of the museum board Kent Collier. The exhibit will be at the museum through May 28. Between 2006 and 2009, three scientific expeditions by an international team of geographers, historians and archaeologists were conducted in the Argonne Forest of eastern France to pinpoint the location of where Tennessee native Alvin York won his medal of honor. The exhibit, titled “In the Footsteps of Alvin York,� tells the most complete story yet of what happened on Oct. 8, 1918, when York walked
into history as one of Americas most decorated soldiers in World War I. Using artifacts and empirical data collected during the project, the exhibit reintroduces audiences to not only the experience of York, but those who fought by his side, as well as the men who never returned. “The exhibit is a comprehensive look at the expeditions we made to France,â€? said David Currey, the exhibit’s designer and a public historian from Nashville who documented the project in France as a member of the American team. “The amount of information that was gathered and the artifacts that were uncovered certainly was evidence we were in the right place.â€? The 1,000-square-foot exhibit showcases the teams’ experience in France as well as a look at Alvin C. York, from his rural roots in Fentress County, Tenn., to his exploits in World War I, to his life when he returned home and was immortalized by the Gary Cooper film “Sergeant Yorkâ€? in 1941.

BMC theatre to present ‘The Miracle Worker’ BY KIMBERLY SHELTON

“Look, what’s she spelling? Teaching a dog to spell? The dog doesn’t know what she means any more than she knows what you mean, Miss Sullivan. I think you ask too much of her and yourself. God may not have meant Helen to have the eyes you speak of.� — Capt. Arthur Keller, The Miracle Worker BLUE MOUNTAIN — “The Miracle Worker� tells the remarkable story of Helen Keller, but it is so much more. “It’s also about loving, but frustrated, parents learning to deal with a difficult child; it’s about Annie Sullivan and teaching different students different ways,� said James Andre, associate professor of speech and theatre at Blue Mountain College. BMC theatre is proud to present “The Miracle Worker�. Performances will be held from Feb. 25 through March 1 in Garrett Hall Auditorium. Keller, who lost her sight and hearing at a very young age while living in Tuscumbia, Ala., became the first deaf and blind person to earn a college degree. She later became a highly popular author, public speaker and a political activist for the disabled. “I think audience members can enjoy this show on the surface, or
Helen: Journey McAlister (Corinth) Mrs. Keller: Shiloh Wehrstein (Counce, Tenn.) Aunt Ev: Jeni Yang (Olive Branch) Annie Sullivan: Ciara Boyle (Holly Springs) Capt. Keller: Eli Rodgers (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) James: Zach Brock (Myrtle) Doctor: Daniel Burkeen (Ramer, Tenn.) Vinney: Rachel McFatridge (Collierville, Tenn.) Percy: Marcus Wells (Meridian) they can go a lot deeper,� said Andre, the director. “It’s a story about hope and perseverance, and there’s a whole lot about parenting. It’s about small victories and about not judging someone because of disabilities. “It’s a very positive show,� added the director. “There’s a lot of drama but there’s also some humor. It’s definitely a family show and I think our patrons will feel good when they leave.� Andre said he has been “immensely impressed� with how the BMC students have assumed their roles and believes the
production has been a wonderful learning experience for all involved. “This is a very challenging show for actors,� he said. “Journey McAlister plays Helen and she had to learn not to respond to the usual external stimuli surrounding a person.� “Ciara Boyle plays Sullivan, and she plays a teacher who had no experience teaching someone with such profound disabilities. And the rest of the cast, they all had to learn roles where they couldn’t interact with the lead actor by sight or sound. They’ve all been
really, really good.� “I guess it’s a sign of the times,� he said, “but I was surprised at how many of our young people didn’t know who Helen Keller was, and she’s really from our neighborhood. “I suspect a lot of our young audience won’t know either, but in a way that makes this production even more important. We all need to know about Helen Keller.�
The following showtimes are set for “The Miracle Workerâ€?: Feb. 25, 27, 28, March 1 – 7:30 p.m. Feb. 26, 27 (school matinĂŠes) – 9:30 a.m. Feb. 28 (senior matinĂŠe, but open to all) – 1 p.m. (Tickets prices for evening performances are $7 for adults and $5 for students.

Corinth, Miss.
UAW dealt stunning loss Despite everything but an engraved invitation to unionize from the company, the 1,550 hourly workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., rejected representation by the United Auto Workers labor union by a vote of 712 to 626 on Valentine’s Day. Under pressure from existing “work councils” at VW’s at most all of the company’s other 105 plants, the company was officially “neutral” on the union vote but clearly took formal contractual steps to coordinate with the UAW on Sid Salter both public statements and communications with plant Columnist employees. Even so, workers rejected the UAW’s entreaties. The vote reinforced the UAW’s continuing woes in their rather naked attempt to infiltrate the foreign-owned automakers in “Detroit South.” The union vote in Chattanooga represented the UAW’s first vote at a major foreign automaker’s assembly plant since the union’s failed attempt to gain the right to represent Nissan workers in Smyrna, Tenn., in 2001. The union lost that vote by a 2-to-1 margin. In addition to VW in Chattanooga, the UAW has also been attempting to unionize workers at Nissan Motor Company plants in Mississippi and Tennessee, and at a Daimler AG Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama. Why? Because the UAW fears that so-called “transplants” – or foreign-owned automakers with plants in the U.S. – will pull down wages and benefits at UAW-represented domestic auto plants in Detroit. Sean McAlinden, chief economist at the Center for Automotive Research, told the New York Times after the vote that the UAW’s leadership “has been very open that if they don’t organize the transplants, their future as a large automotive union is in jeopardy.” Foreign-owned automakers with plants in the U.S. and imports comprise a combined 55 percent of total U.S. auto sales. UAW membership sharply declined since reaching a peak of nearly 1.5 million in 1979 to almost 400,000 in 2012, due to automation at auto plants and the large share of the U.S. auto market for U.S. automakers that has shifted to foreign auto manufacturers. In the wake of their defeat in Chattanooga, the UAW focus will intensify at the Nissan plant in Canton. At the VW plant, the union’s supposed “ace in the hole” was the coordination with the company. But at Nissan, the union is hanging their political hat on the argument at the union push is in actuality a civil rights exercise. But just as workers in Chattanooga told the press that they voted against UAW representation at the VW plant because of fears of negative impacts of the union on “old Detroit” automakers, Nissan workers in Mississippi are expected to weigh those same considerations. For the UAW, the Chattanooga defeat makes their efforts in Southern “right to work” states even more daunting. The pushback against the UAW in Tennessee was anything but subtle. U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, Gov. Bill Haslam, members of the Tennessee Legislature and local leaders were unambiguous in their opposition to the union. Despite cloaking the union push in Mississippi in the political vestments of the civil rights movement, union organizers should expect to encounter similar organized opposition in Mississippi at Nissan. Mississippi taxpayers are active partners in the state’s emerging auto manufacturing industry and most remain wary of an expanded union presence in one of the state’s real growth industries. Frankly, if the UAW couldn’t win in Chattanooga – with the company’s “neutrality” in the vote evoking laughter – the prospects in Canton, Mississippi look decidedly dim for the union.

Fire bell in the night for the EU Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland has apologized for her undiplomatic “(bleep) the EU!” remark intercepted on her phone call with the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. Yet it appears that tens of millions of Europeans share her feelings about the European Union, which they believe has arisen to rule over them. And Feb. 9, the Eurocrats heard a fire bell in the night. In a referendum backed by the Swiss People’s Party, a clear majority voted to impose quotas on all immigration, even from other European nations. Though Switzerland is not a member of the EU, it has signed the Schengen Agreement on freedom of travel across European borders. Now it wants to be rid of Schengen -- and any more immigration. The Swiss vote was not just a shocker for the champions of “one Europe.” It has given a tremendous boost to the populist parties on the continent. Hailing the Swiss vote, many are demanding similar referendums in their own countries. Nigel Farage, head of the U.K. Independence Party, which wants a referendum to quit the EU entirely and is pressuring the Tories of David Cameron, hailed the referendum.
Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s National Front, is praising the “great Pat courage” of Buchanan the Swiss and has Columnist launched a petition drive to put a referendum on the ballot in France. “Similar calls have come from the Dutch Freedom party leader Geert Wilders, who is ahead in several recent polls; the Austrian Freedom party, which showed strong gains in September’s national elections; the Danish People’s party ... and Sweden’s Democratic party,” writes the Financial Times. In Norway, the Progress Party, which is part of the government, is demanding a referendum on immigration. What makes the Swiss vote explosive is that it comes three months before the May elections for the European Parliament, in which anti-EU parties were already expected to make strong gains. If these Euroskeptic parties can fold into their campaigns for the European Parliament their campaigns for a national vote to restrict immigration, they could make dramatic gains, and
send a shock wave across Europe and a message to the world that Europeans are rejecting the future being planned for them. Virtually every nation in Europe now has one party dedicated to halting immigration or leaving the EU. Though all have been demonized with the same political slurs -- extremist, ultranationalist, xenophobic, neo-fascist -- the differences among them are as great as the distance between the Swiss People’s Party and Golden Dawn in Greece. But about almost all of these parties, certain statements are valid. They have all been gaining strength at the expense of older centerright parties. They are all detested by the Davos elite. They all draw their growing strength from the working and middle class. Collectively, they lack the power to break up the EU. But their strength is such that the EU may not be able to hold a referendum on any change in its constitution without risk of having it voted down by a half-dozen member countries. Can the European Union, so divided, continue to stand? What propels these parties? First, there is the desire in each country involved to retain its own ethnic, cultural
and national identity and to halt immigration that would alter its character, especially from the Islamic world and the Third World. Second, there is the desire for sovereignty and liberty we Americans, above all, should understand. French, Dutch, British, Italians and Germans do not want to be ruled by the European Commission in Brussels any more than Thomas Jefferson’s generation wanted to be ruled by the king across the sea. Third, unlike transnationalists and multiculturalists, the patriot parties hold their countries to be the largest entities to which they can give love and loyalty. And they do not worship at the altar of economic efficiency or measure happiness by the gross domestic product. If the May elections for the European Parliament turn into a sweeping rejection of the EU, what is happening there will find an echo here. How would Americans vote on a timeout on all immigration? How would Americans vote, if given a chance, to repudiate our entire political elite? (Daily Corinthian columnist Patrick J.

Obama vs. the First Amendment BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists
The Federal Communications Commission is about to launch a direct assault on the freedom of media to cover news as it chooses. The program, called the Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs, involves requesting information from all radio and television stations -- and newspapers -- about how they cover news, who decides what gets covered, and what criteria they use in the decision. The FCC will also conduct a “content analysis” of one week’s coverage to decide whether each of eight “critical” categories of news are getting adequate attention. While the results of the study will not impose mandatory changes on the media’s news decisions, the recommendations of the FCC will carry the weight of law since all radio and television stations must come up for license renewals every eight years. Newspapers -- which are clearly outside the jurisdiction of the FCC -- are un-

der no such constraint, but will be evaluated anyway. The study is in response to another study, this one conducted by the Annenberg School for Communications and Journalism at the University of Southern California, which found that minorities were not being adequately served by media news and that critical areas were being underreported. The first market to undergo a grilling will be Columbia, S.C., but all areas of the country are slated to come in for scrutiny Surveys will be distributed to reporters, news editors, assignment editors, publishers, owners, on-air reporters, film editors and other station or newspaper staff. These are the questions they will ask: ■ What is the news philosophy of the station? ■ Who else in your market provides news? ■ Who are your main competitors? ■ Is the news produced inhouse or is it provided by an outside source? ■ Do you employ news people?
■ How many reporters and editors do you employ? ■ Do you have any reporters or editors assigned to topic “beats”? If so how many and what are the beats? ■ Who decides which stories are covered? ■ How much influence do reporters and anchors have in deciding which stories to cover? ■ How much does community input influence news coverage decisions? ■ How do you define critical information that the community needs? ■ How do you ensure the community gets this critical information? On-Air Staff? Reporters? Anchors? ■ How much news does your station air every day? ■ Have you ever suggested coverage of what you consider a story with critical information for your customers (viewers, listeners, readers) that was rejected by management? If so, can you give an example? What was the reason given for the decision? Why do you disagree? These intrusive questions, prying into station politics

and policies, can only send a chilling message to radio and television outlets. If radio and TV stations do not do a good job of reporting news, their ratings suffer. If they do not do a good job of reporting the news the government wants them to report, that’s none of the government’s business. The day is long gone when communities were dependent on one radio or one television station or one newspaper for their news. The Internet and cable television has changed all that. But the FCC acts as if the new age has not dawned. Is it that they don’t know? Or is it, more likely, that they want to push the media to cover the Obama administration agenda. As this project goes forth, Senator Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is circulating a petition in Congress to urge the networks to devote more time to covering climate change. The First Amendment is under attack! (Daily Corinthian columnists Dick Morris and Eileen McGann are nationally syndicated.)

Teen’s dad charged with her murder MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The father of a disabled teenage girl in Tennessee who died from gangrene and infected bedsores due to neglect has been charged with first-degree murder along with a homehealth aide. The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release Wednesday that a grand jury has indicted 42-year-old Errol Johnson and 41-year-old home-health worker Chasara Jones on a charge of first-degree murder in perpetration of aggravated child neglect. A third defendant had been charged, but did not identify the defendant. The 12-year old Millington, Tenn., girl died in November 2012. Paramedics told the district attorney’s office that the girl’s sores were so advanced, the bones in her toes were visible. Â
PSU defendants want counts dismissed HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — State prosecutors and lawyers for three former Penn State administrators accused of covering up sex abuse allegations filed lengthy documents on Wednesday about the role played by the university’s former general counsel during the defendants’ grand jury appearances. Questions about whether the right to
legal representation was violated, and if so, what the judge should do about it have complicated and delayed the criminal case against former university President Graham Spanier, retired Athletic Director Tim Curley and retired Vice President Gary Schultz. Lawyers for Spanier requested that all charges be dismissed. Attorneys for Curley and Schultz asked that obstruction and conspiracy counts be thrown out and their grand jury testimony suppressed, effectively neutralizing perjury charges. The state attorney general’s office said matters related to the grand jury are no longer relevant because preliminary hearings have been conducted. Prosecutors also argued the defense offered no legal authority to have the charges dismissed and that all three men chose to have Penn State’s then-general counsel, Cynthia Baldwin, represent them. “The defendants appear to be of the view that, if they appear before a grand jury with conflicted or ineffective counsel, they have a ‘get out of jail free’ card to play at a later date, including after the preliminary hearing,� wrote Chief Deputy Attorney General James P. Baker. He said “there simply is no basis in law for this assertion.� Baldwin accompanied the three to grand jury appearances in early 2011, more than six months before the panel issued its report

and prosecutors filed charges against Curley and Schultz, as well as child sexual abuse charges against retired assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. About a year later, additional charges were lodged against Curley and Schultz and Spanier was charged for the first time. All three now are charged with perjury, obstruction, conspiracy, child endangerment and failure to properly report suspected child abuse. Sandusky is serving a lengthy state prison sentence and is asking the state Supreme Court to review his 45-count conviction. Â

Court upholds Coahoma conviction JACKSON — The state Court of Appeals has upheld Christopher Brown’s conviction in Coahoma County of a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident which caused injury or death. Brown was sentenced in 2012 to three years in prison and two years of post-release supervision. Authorities said Brown was driving to work in the rain about 6:15 a.m. Sept. 9, 2008, when he struck Joe Campbell, who was riding a recumbent bicycle on a Clarksdale street. Campbell later died from a head injury. The Appeals Court in Tuesday’s decision said the jury heard from witnesses that Campbell’s bicycle had a blinking strobe light and an orange medical flag, which sat atop a five-foothigh plastic pole. The court that contradicted Brown’s argument that the Campbell couldn’t be seen on the road. Â
‘Mockingbird’ author settles suit BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — “To Kill a Mockingbird� author Harper Lee settled the federal lawsuit she filed against a museum in her south Alabama hometown over its sale of souvenirs featuring her name and the title of her book, court documents show. An attorney for the Alabama native filed a motion Tuesday in federal court in Mobile saying Lee had reached an agreement with the Monroe County Heritage Museum in Monroeville. The settlement notice came days after a judge refused to dismiss the lawsuit, filed last fall, that said the museum uses Lee’s name and the title of her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel without compensating her. The document didn’t provide details on the settlement,
“On arrival our officers made contact with the driver and there were signs of his being impaired,� Payne said. Harrell was charged with a second-offense DUI involving a substance other than alcohol, Payne said, and police got a court order to take a blood sample from him. “We don’t know what the substance is at the time. We sent the sample on to the crime lab for testing,� Payne said. Payne said Harrell was released on a $1,789 cash bond set by Municipal Judge Albert Fountain. No date has been announced for Harrell’s next court appearance. Police said Harrell was driving a family member’s SUV. The DUI arrest is Harrell’s second in D’Iberville since July 2012, when his Cadillac rear-ended another vehicle. Harrell was later found to be driving under the influence of prescription drugs and was
convicted. He lost his appeal in Harrison County Court on Jan. 8. In sentencing, the jail time was waived if Harrell could go six months without any further legal problems and enrolled in victim impact and substance abuse programs. Â
Teen pleads guilty on murder charge COLUMBUS — An 18-year-old man has pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder involving a fatal shooting at a Starkville nightclub that occurred more than a year ago. Prosecutors say Ronagal Lamar Outlaw of Starkville entered the plea Tuesday in Lowndes County Circuit Court. Outlaw is to be sentenced Friday and could get up to 40 years in prison. Outlaw pleaded guilty to fatally shooting 23-year-old Trumaine Macon at the CrossRoads Lounge in west Lowndes County last February.
3 Doors Down bassist held on DUI D’IBERVILLE — Todd Harrell, a founding member and bassist for 3 Doors Down facing a vehicular homicide case in Tennessee, was arrested Tuesday night on a DUI charge in Mississippi, according to police. Harrell was found “slumped over the steering wheel of his vehicle� by officers responding to a citizen’s call about an impaired driver, D’Iberville police Chief Wayne Payne told The Associated Press.

Winter menace: ice from high-rises NEW YORK — City dwellers facing one of the most brutal winters on record have been dealing with something far more dangerous than snow falling from the sky: ice tumbling from skyscrapers. Streets around New York’s new 1 World Trade Center, the nation’s tallest building, were recently closed when sheets of ice were seen shearing from the face of the 1,776-foot structure — turning them into potentially deadly, 100-mph projectiles. And sidewalks around high-rises in cities big and small have been cordoned off with yellow caution tape because of falling icicles and rockhard chunks of frozen snow, a situation that experts warn could get worse over the next few days as a thaw sets in over much of the country. “The snow starts to melt and the liquid drips off and makes bigger and bigger icicles, or chunks of ice that break off skyscrapers,� said Joey Picca, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in New York, which has had 48.5 inches of snow since the start of the year, and several cycles of freeze and thaw. “Be very, very aware of your surroundings,� he said. “If you see ice hanging from a building, find another route. Don’t walk under hanging ice.� Some architects say newer, energy-efficient high-rises may actually be making the problem worse. “They keep more heat inside, which means the outside is getting colder and that allows more snow and ice to form,� said engineer Roman Stangl, founder of the consulting firm Northern Microclimate in Cambridge, Ontario. Stangl helps developers opt for shapes, slope angles and even colors — darker colors absorb more melting sunrays — to diminish ice formation. High-tech materials can be also be used, such as at Tokyo’s Skytree observation tower, where heaters were embedded in the glass to melt the ice. Such options are not always possible in older cities with balconies, awnings and stone details. Barry Negron said he saw ice hanging perilously off a four-story building near Rockefeller Center last month and was trying to warn other pedestrians when he was hit in the face with a sharp, football-size chunk. Cuts across his nose and cheek required 80 stitches.

North American agenda hits drag WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama headed into a summit Wednesday with Mexican and Canadian leaders eager to engage on issues of trade and other neighbor-to-neighbor interests, even as Congress is pushing back against some of his top cross-border agenda items. The president will meet with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper Wednesday in Toluca, Mexico, for the North American Leaders’ Summit with a full agenda, covering commerce among the three North American Free Trade Agreement partners, immigration, energy and security. The talks will highlight how increasingly interconnected the three economies are 20 years since the NAFTA took effect. But they will also illustrate the limits of Obama’s power, his hands tied on immigration by congressional Republicans and on trade by his fellow Democrats. The summit also takes place against a backdrop of tensions surrounding revelations the National Security Agency spied on Pena Nieto before he was elected and gained access to former Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s email system when he was in office. To the North, Canadian leaders have voiced frustration at the amount of time the Obama administration has taken to decide whether to approve the Keystone XL pipeline that would carry oil from tar sands in western Canada 1,179 miles to Nebraska, where existing pipelines would then carry the crude to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast. The NSA and pipeline issues could surface in one-on-one talks that Obama plans to have with Pena Nieto and Harper on the summit’s sidelines but are not expected to be a factor in the broader, joint discussions among the three leaders. Obama met Pena Nieto last year when he traveled to Mexico. Wednesday’s visit is scheduled to last less than nine hours. Keeping with the trade focus of the trip, Obama signed an executive order aboard Air Force One en route to the summit. The order is intended to speed up the process
for approving import or export cargo, the White House said. The order directs the government to finish a new electronic system to allow companies to submit their documentation to the federal government without paper forms. Twenty years after NAFTA’s approval, trade experts say the agreement is due for an upgrade to take into account the current globalized environment and to address issues not addressed in the original pact. But rather than reopen NAFTA, the three countries are instead relying on negotiations underway to complete the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade bloc of 12 countries in the Americas, Asia and the Pacific. Â
US warship near Sochi runs aground WASHINGTON — One of two U.S. warships dispatched to the Black Sea before the Sochi Winter Olympics remains in a Turkish port after running aground last week, the Navy said Wednesday. The frigate USS Taylor is being inspected for damage after it ran aground Feb. 12 while preparing to moor at Samsun, Turkey, about 230 miles (370 kilometers) southwest of Sochi. A Turkish official said it may be repaired in a day or two. Lt. Shawn Eklund, a Navy spokesman in Europe, said that even with the Taylor sidelined, the U.S. would still be able to respond, should Russia ask for help with any crisis. The Taylor and the USS Mount Whitney were sent to the Black Sea after an uptick in security threats around the Olympics, although the Pentagon said the U.S. warships were deployed as part of normal military planning and could perform any required missions, including communications or evacuations. “The Navy is still prepared to render support to the Russian Federation in the event of a crisis or contingency operation,� Eklund said in a phone interview Wednesday. He said he could not go into detail on what other things the Navy has done to prepare, but officials have said repeatedly that they have assets that could be called into action for a variety of potential missions. “The Navy has ships available for multiple taskings, assets that could be called upon, should they be the appropriate asset, and should the State Department request them,� Defense Department spokeswoman Eileen Lainez said Wednesday. “There’s been no request at this time.�
The USS Mount Whitney, an amphibious command ship, and the USS Taylor, a guidedmissile frigate, arrived in the Black Sea early this month. The Pentagon announced their planned deployment to the region in January, after terrorist groups threatened to disrupt the Olympic Games in the resort town on Russia’s Black Sea coast. The Whitney is the flagship of the U.S. 6th Fleet in Europe; both ships have helicopter pads. The Navy says no one was injured when the Taylor ran aground. Â
Minimum wage report draws concern WASHINGTON — A report by Congress’ nonpartisan budget analysts seems to have thrown Democrats onto the defensive after it concluded that the party’s drive to boost the federal minimum wage could cost a half-million jobs by 2016. A Congressional Budget Office report released Tuesday concluded that a gradual increase to $10.10 hourly by that year — which is what President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats are seeking — would increase pay for more than 16.5 million people, mostly those earning low wages. It also would lift 900,000 people over the federal poverty threshold, the study said. Democrats hailed those findings. But in a congressional election year in which the slow-recovering economy remains a paramount issue, Democrats from the White House to Capitol Hill contested another of the report’s conclusions: that the increase would reduce jobs in 2016 by roughly 500,000, or 0.3 percent. That figure was the midpoint of a range of job losses the budget office estimated at somewhere from negligible to 1 million eliminated positions. And it was an unpleasant number for Democrats, who plan to make their long-shot effort to raise the minimum wage this campaign year a centerpiece of their focus on correcting income inequity between haves and have-nots. Jason Furman, chairman of the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers, and council member Betsey Stevenson referred in a blog post to a statement by more than 600 economists who cited recent academic findings that “increases in the minimum wage have had little or no negative effect on the employment of minimum-wage workers, even during times of weakness in the labor market.�
Jail lock repairs in Meridian add up Associated Press
MERIDIAN — Problems with the locking system at the Lauderdale County Jail are proving costly. Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun told Lauderdale County supervisors last week that work was
underway to repair the electronic locking system that is supposed to allow jail personnel to enter and exit without using a key. Calhoun said inmates have damaged the system, which he also described as substandard.

“I wish I could tell you that we need to change employees or change strategies but that’s not the problem,� Calhoun said during a supervisors’ work session last Thursday. Calhoun said the bill from work already done would be at least $20,000. He says it would cost about $300,000 to replace the system. He said the vendor told him the current system is unlike any the company has ever installed. There are 11 pods at the site and each pod contains 20 cells. “The locking mechanisms are the ones that work primarily on the doors that are inside of the pods,� he said. When there is a problem, a safety feature causes the system to go to a default setting which makes it necessary to use keys.

Children with seizures use pot as treatment BY NICHOLAS RICCARDI Associated Press
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The doctors were out of ideas to help 5-year-old Charlotte Figi. Suffering from a rare genetic disorder, she had as many as 300 grand mal seizures a week, used a wheelchair, went into repeated cardiac arrest and could barely speak. As a last resort, her mother began calling medical marijuana shops. Two years later, Charlotte is largely seizurefree and able to walk, talk and feed herself after taking oil infused with a special pot strain. Her recovery has inspired both a name for the strain of marijuana she takes that is bred not to make users high — Charlotte’s Web — and an influx of families with seizure-stricken children to Colorado from states that ban the drug. “She can walk, talk; she ate chili in the car,” her mother, Paige Figi, said as her dark-haired daughter strolled through a cavernous greenhouse full of marijuana plants that will later be broken down into their anti-seizure components and mixed with olive oil so patients can consume them. “So I’ll fight for whomever wants this.”
“It’s the most hope lots of us have ever had.” Holli Brown Whose 9-year-old daughter, Sydni, takes the marijuana strain Doctors warn there is no proof that Charlotte’s Web is effective, or even safe. In the frenzy to find the drug, there have been reports of non-authorized suppliers offering bogus strains of Charlotte’s Web. In one case, a doctor said, parents were told they could replicate the strain by cooking marijuana in butter. Their child went into heavy seizures. “We don’t have any peer-reviewed, published literature to support it,” Dr. Larry Wolk, the state health department’s chief medical officer, said of Charlotte’s Web. Still, more than 100 families have relocated since Charlotte’s story first began spreading last summer, according to Figi and her husband. The relocated families have formed a close-knit group in Colorado Springs, the law-and-order town where the dispensary selling the drug is located. They meet for lunch, sup-
port sessions and hikes. “It’s the most hope lots of us have ever had,” said Holli Brown, whose 9-year-old daughter, Sydni, began speaking in sentences and laughing since moving to Colorado from Kansas City and taking the marijuana strain. Amy Brooks-Kayal, vice president of the American Epilepsy Society, warned that a few miraculous stories may not mean anything — epileptic seizures come and go for no apparent reason — and scientists do not know what sort of damage Charlotte’s Web could be doing to young brains. “Until we have that information, as physicians, we can’t follow our first creed, which is do no harm,” she said, suggesting that parents relocate so their children can get treated at one of the nation’s 28 top-tier pediatric epilepsy centers rather than move to Colorado. However, the society urges more study of pot’s possibilities. The families
using Charlotte’s Web, as well as the brothers who grow it, say they want the drug rigorously tested, and their efforts to ensure its purity have won them praise from skeptics like Wolk. For many, Charlotte’s story was something they couldn’t ignore. Charlotte is a twin, but her sister, Chase, doesn’t have Dravet’s syndrome, which kills kids before they reach adulthood. In early 2012, it seemed Charlotte would be added to that grim roster. Her vital signs flat-lined three times, leading her parents to begin preparing for her death. They even signed an order for doctors not to take heroic measures to save her life again should she go into cardiac arrest. Her father, Matt, a former Green Beret who took a job as a contractor working in Afghanistan, started looking online for ways to help his daughter and thought they should give pot a try. But there was a danger: Marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient, THC, can trigger seizures. The drug also contains another chemical known as CBD that may have seizure-fighting properties. In October, the Food
and Drug Administration approved testing a British pharmaceutical firm’s marijuana-derived drug that is CBD-based and has all its THC removed. Few dispensaries stock CBD-heavy weed that doesn’t get you high. Then Paige Figi found Joel Stanley. One of 11 siblings raised by a single mother and their grandmother in Oklahoma, Stanley and four of his brothers had found themselves in the medical marijuana business after moving to Colorado. Almost as an experiment, they bred a low-THC, high-CBD plant after hearing it could fight tumors. Stanley went to the Figis’ house with reservations about giving pot to a child. “But she had done her homework,” Stanley said of Paige Figi. “She wasn’t a pot activist or a hippy, just a conservative mom.” Now, Stanley and his brothers provide the marijuana to nearly 300 patients and have a waitlist of 2,000. The CBD is extracted by a chemist who once worked for drug giant Pfizer, mixed with olive oil so it can be ingested through the mouth or the feeding tube that many
sufferers from childhood epilepsy use, then sent to a third-party lab to test its purity. Charlotte takes the medication twice a day. “A year ago, she could only say one word,” her father said. “Now she says complete sentences.” The recovery of Charlotte and other kids has inspired the Figis and others to travel the country, pushing for medical marijuana laws or statutes that would allow high-CBD, low-THC pot strains. Donald Burger recently urged a New York state legislative panel to legalize medical marijuana while his wife, Aileen, was in the family’s new rental house in Colorado Springs, giving Charlotte’s Web to their daughter Elizabeth, 4. The family only relocated to Colorado after neurologists told them Elizabeth’s best hope — brain surgery — could only stop some of her seizures. “It’s a very big strain being away from the rest of our family,” Aileen Burger said recently while waiting for her husband to return from a trip to sell their Long Island house. “But she doesn’t have to have pieces of her brain removed.”
Gay-marriage opponents scrambling after court setbacks BY DAVID A. LIEB, DAVID CRARY AND RACHEL ZOLL Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Opponents of same-sex marriage are scrambling to find effective responses, in Congress and state legislatures, to a rash of court rulings that would force some of America’s most conservative states to accept gay nuptials. Some gay-marriage foes are backing a bill recently introduced in both chambers of Congress that would leave states fully in charge of their marriage policies, though the measure stands little chance of passage. In the states, they are endorsing a multitude of bills — some intended to protect gay-marriage bans, others to assert a right, based on religious freedom, to have nothing to do with gay marriages should those bans be struck down. In Utah, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Virginia, federal judges have voided part or all of the bans on same-sex marriage that voters approved between 2004 and 2006. Each of the rulings has been stayed pending appeals, and a final nationwide resolution may be a few years away in the U.S. Supreme Court. The trend is unsettling to the activists who oppose gay marriage, and some have called for extraordinary measures in response. Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, known for fighting to display the Ten Commandments in a judicial building, has written to all 50 governors urging them to support a federal constitutional amendment defining marriage as between only a man and a woman. In Missouri, where
voters approved a gaymarriage ban in 2004, eight Republican House members filed articles of impeachment against Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon after he ordered his administration to accept joint tax returns from same-sex couples who were legally married in other states. The Republican House leader has yet to schedule the matter for public hearings, but some GOP sponsors insist they are serious. “The people put it in the constitution that marriage is between one man and one woman — the issue is the governor has absolutely ignored the constitution and the people’s will,” said Rep. Ron Schieber, a Republican from Kansas City. The demand for religious exemptions, meanwhile, is widespread. Gay marriage opponents have fought for strong exemptions in every state where lawmakers have already decided the issue. In New York, for example, gay marriage was recognized only after Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state’s top two legislators struck an 11th-hour compromise on religious accommodations. However, the resulting exemptions have generally been limited in scope — and haven’t come anywhere near to what gay marriage opponents sought. In Massachusetts and Iowa, where samesex marriage won recognition through the courts, there are no religious exemptions related to the rulings. In light of this track record, opponents in red states have been proposing pre-emptive bills with broad accommodations for religious objectors.

Most of the bills aim to protect individuals or businesses who, for religious reasons, don’t want to serve same-sex couples. Bills in Ohio, Mississippi, Arizona, Idaho and Oklahoma would allow a person or company to assert a religious freedom defense against a lawsuit from another private party. For example, a baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple could defend his decision as a legally protected religious right. In some states, they have suffered setbacks. The Kansas House passed a measure last week providing a faithbased legal shield for people who refuse to provide services to gays and lesbians. It details which services would be exempted — ranging from bakeries to adoption agencies to government clerks — and allows faith-based refusal of services to gay couples in any domestic partnership. But the top Republican in the state Senate put a quick stop to the bill’s momentum, declaring that a majority of GOP lawmakers in that chamber don’t support it. “A strong majority of my members support laws that define traditional marriage,” said Senate President Susan Wagle. “However, my members also don’t condone dis-
crimination.” In South Dakota, a Republican-led Senate committee narrowly defeated a similar bill that would have barred lawsuits or criminal charges against clergy who refuse to perform same-sex weddings. Critics of the bill said it was unnecessary because the U.S. Constitution already guarantees religious freedom. One of the sponsors of that measure was Rep. Steve Hickey, pastor of a Sioux Falls church that opposes gay marriage. “I’m saying keep the state out of my church,” Hickey said at a committee hearing. “I only promote and perform traditional marriages. ... It’s is not because there is any bigotry. It’s because I deeply care about people.” In Indiana, the battle over gay marriage has revealed rifts among Republicans. GOP Gov. Mike Pence urged lawmakers to refer a constitutional ban on gay marriage to the November ballot, but the measure suffered a significant setback last week that could delay a vote until 2016. Proposed constitutional amendments must be approved twice by the Indiana Legislature — unchanged and in consecutive biennial sessions — before making the ballot. The proposed gay-marriage ban cleared

the Republican-led Legislature two years ago but was changed recently to remove a ban on civil unions, thus preventing it from going to the 2014 ballot. Peter Sprigg, a senior fellow with the conservative Family Research Council, expressed disappointment with the Indiana development. “That was our best hope for a victory at the ballot box this year,” he said. Overall, Sprigg said he remained hopeful that the U.S. Supreme Court — if it takes up appeals of any of the recent federal court cases — would not rush to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide. Last June, the high court did order the federal government to recognize valid same-sex marriages, which are allowed in 17 states and the District of Columbia. But the court declined to go further and require all states to allow them. John Eastman, an opponent of same-sex mar-
riage who chairs the National Organization for Marriage, said he and his allies were battling to challenge a growing perception that nationwide gay marriage is inevitable. In particular, he derided Republican political consultants who were advising the party — which officially opposes samesex marriage — to tone its rhetoric on the issue. “The consultant class of the GOP has been stupid,” Eastman said. Eastman’s organization has praised a bill recently introduced in Congress by conservative Republicans titled the State Marriage Defense Act. It would require the federal government to respect state determinations of the marital status of their residents when applying federal law. However, the bill is considered to have no chance of passage in the Democratic-led Senate, and its prospects in the GOP-controlled House are uncertain.
“Does God Care How We Worship?” (Part 2)
By Mike Swims We discussed last week the fact that God has given us specific instructions regarding how He is to be worshipped. This week, I want to notice what Jesus says regarding the importance of how we worship. 1. Does Jesus Make a Distinction Between True False Worshippers of God? “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the ____ ____shall worship the Father in_______ and in ________: for the Father________ such to _________ him.” -John 4:23 2. Does Jesus Say That Mankind Can Worship However They Want? “God is a Spirit: and they that_________ him worship him in_________ and in___________.” John 4:24 Every time we come into our assemblies together, we should be coming together with the determination to worship God in whatever manner He’s instructed. This is the lesson taught by Jesus when he said that Christians must worship God in Spirit (i.e., with the right hearts and motivations) and in truth (i.e. according to the Bible). We understand that you can’t successfully bake a cake without following the instructions or else it’ll burn, yet why do we think we can add to (or take away from) the instructions of God’s worship? Remember, Jesus is also the one who gave the following warning, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 7:21 )

Hair pulling concerns grandparents WIZARD OF ID
DILBERT
GARFIELD
FORT KNOX
PICKLES
Dear Annie: One of our darling granddaughters started to pull out her eyelashes at around age 9. We expressed our concern to our son. Shortly after, we were told that our granddaughter was seeing a counselor to address this behavior. We were so relieved when she stopped. But about a year later, she started again. Now her 9-year-old brother is pulling hair out of his head. He has a bald spot about two inches in diameter. Our son and his wife have education degrees. The marriage and family appear OK. The kids seem happy, and they do well in school. I recently brought up the counseling to our son, but he said, “We tried that.” He indicated that the kids will stop on their own. Is stress causing this? How involved should we get? Right now, we feel like it’s the elephant in the room. — Blue-Collar Grandparents Dear Grandparents: Trichotillomania is a disorder that results in compulsive hair pulling. It is currently considered to be a “body-focused repetitive behavior.” There also may be a genetic predisposition, which would explain why both of your grandchildren suffer from it. Sometimes stress, anxiety or fatigue can
Annie’s Mailbox trigger it, but not always. Doctors do not know the underlying cause but believe it may develop due to a combination of genetic, hormonal, emotional and environmental factors. Appropriate treatment involves cognitive behavioral therapy, sometimes in combination with medication, hypnosis and relaxation techniques. Your son and his wife may already be taking the necessary steps, but either way, you can get more information through the Trichotillomania Learning Center at trich.org. Dear Annie: I recently learned that a friend’s son died from a heart attack. He was relatively young. I was both saddened and shocked. I was more despondent that my friend and his current (third) wife did not attend his son’s funeral. They live in another state, but still. It was his son. We’ve been friends for more than 50 years, but it makes me realize he wouldn’t bother attending my funeral, either. Annie, should I dissolve
our friendship? Should I tell him how shocked and disappointed I am? Or should I simply overlook it? — Sensitive, Caring Person Dear Sensitive: While not attending his son’s funeral seems callous, is it possible that your friend has health issues that prevented him from traveling? Might he and his son have been estranged and his presence at the funeral unwelcome? You can let him know that you were surprised he didn’t attend the funeral, but he is under no obligation to satisfy your curiosity. Limiting the friendship because you believe he no longer cares enough about you is a legitimate concern, but cutting off a 50-year friendship because he might not attend your funeral is excessive. How your friend treats you while you are alive is what counts. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Local businesses share their success stories in a special “Committed to Progress” section coming Sunday, March 2.
Veteran dad has no desire to add to already large family DEAR ABBY: I’m a single mom in a serious relationship with a divorced man who has children of his own. Between us, we have seven, ranging in age from 7 to 17. I’m in my early 30s; he’s in his early 50s. My dilemma: I’m interested in having another child if we get married. He definitely isn’t. Is it unreasonable for me to want to add to this already large potential blended family? I love the idea of experiencing motherhood again with a little more experience and age under my belt, and I’d love to share that intimacy with him. While he likes the abstract possibility of “our” child, he says he feels too old now and he wouldn’t be able to be the kind of father he would want to be. If neither of us had kids of our own, this would be a deal-breaker for me, but how do I know if my maternal longings are just the last, painful tickings of my biological clock, or a real desire that I’ll end up resenting him for if I ignore it and we stay together? -- IS SEVEN ENOUGH? DEAR IS SEVEN ENOUGH?: Because your boyfriend is in his 50s and has made it clear that he isn’t interested in becoming a father again, I think you should count your many blessings and consider that seven is a lucky number. DEAR ABBY: My godmother passed away in January 2011.
Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby
My godfather, “Jim,” remarried last year. I am still mourning her loss and have not been able to get myself to call and speak to Jim, even though I did send him a congratula-
tory wedding card. I love him. Jim is a wonderful, kind, attractive man. I knew it wouldn’t be long before another woman would take an interest in him or he’d find love again. My siblings have tried to get me to make contact with him, but I’m still not ready to accept that he has moved on with another woman. Please advise me. -- CAN’T FACE IT IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CAN’T FACE IT: I am sorry for your loss, and I’m sure your godmother will always live in your heart. However, if you love your godfather, you should be glad that he has been able to move forward in his life. That he was open to finding love again speaks volumes about the quality of the marriage he shared with your godmother. Of course seeing Jim with someone else won’t be easy for you, but it is sad that you would sacrifice the special relationship you have with him because you
are reluctant to face reality. I hope you’ll reconsider. If you do, you may find that you like the new lady in his life. DEAR ABBY: Is it ever appropriate for a diner to lick his/her fingers in public, like when eating finger food or barbecue? It drives me nuts! I equate it to a cat cleaning itself. When I try to get the person in question to use a napkin, I’m looked at as if I’ve lost my mind! At the very least, our hands are covered with germs, and who wants to stick them in their mouth? Yecch. -- GROSSED OUT IN OHIO DEAR GROSSED OUT: I think it depends upon the circumstances in which the food is being served. If someone is eating canapes at a cocktail party, licking the fingers is a no-no. And most barbecue joints provide moist towelettes to their patrons. On the other hand, Col. Sanders used to call his fried chicken “finger lickin’ good.” At a picnic or informal gathering, it’s purrfectly acceptable to lick one’s fingers, and I confess this tabby has probably done it, so I’m not going to cast aspersions. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). The person who has the best ideas isn’t necessarily the one who should be in charge. Leadership and creativity are two different strengths -- something to consider as you assemble your team. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Rarely do the circumstances of a project coalesce in a manner as serendipitous as today’s events. As you recognize the element of magic at work here, you will attract more of it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You find a certain person’s proximity to be agreeable. That doesn’t mean you’re in love, and it doesn’t mean you’re not. For now, you’re willing to enjoy the relationship without labels. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The powerful effects of habit will save the day, keeping you on the straight and narrow, doing the things that are good for your health, work, relationships and life.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll find other people’s opinions interesting, although you are not likely to agree with many of them. Because you’re willing to listen to many points of view, you’ll come up with better solutions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Belly up to the banquet! Life’s offerings are all-you-can-eat style today. Therefore, if you’re hungry, you’re in for a treat. But self-governing will be necessary to avoid overindulgence. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). With something time consuming now behind you, you may wonder what to do next. Pick a goal, any goal. Every goal comes with an automatic guidance system. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Makeovers and do-overs are favored today, and both will happen with a minimal amount of effort. Tonight, those who say they don’t care usually care the most. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). An unusual circumstance is indicated. A battle can be won before it is even fought. Think your way through this. There’s a way to succeed with minimal sacrifice on both sides. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re in tune with everyone, not just the popular and powerful people. There’s someone the others are discounting. Listen carefully to what he or she has to say, and take the message seriously. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The old saying goes that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. These days, many apples don’t want to leave the tree at all, a trend that will affect you in one way or another. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Recognize the limits of the people you’re dealing with. Fairweather friends are still friends. They are best enjoyed for what they can do. Problems only come if you expect more from them.

SCOTTIE WILBEKIN, FLORIDA The Gators may have cleared the path to a perfect SEC season by conquering their toughest week of the campaign so far. Florida defeated Tennessee and Kentucky on the road for the first time in the same season since 1988. Wilbekin, the Gators’ point guard, led the way with 23 points in a 69–59 win at Kentucky and 21 points in a 67–58 win at Tennessee. The senior was 21-of-24 from the free throw line for the week with no turnovers.

SHABAZZ NAPIER, UCONN Napier continued his case for American Athletic Conference Player of the Year honors with a huge effort against Memphis. Napier scored 34 points and added five rebounds, four assists and four steals in the 86–81 win over the Tigers in overtime Saturday. DWAYNE EVANS, SAINT LOUIS The Billikens took a major step toward a second consecutive Atlantic 10 title thanks to Evans’ play in a key 64–62 win over VCU. Evans had 21 points and 10 rebounds against the Rams as the Billikens moved to 10–0 in the league. KENNEDY MEEKS, NORTH CAROLINA Two days after James Michael McAdoo scored 24 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in a win over Pittsburgh, Meeks had a career-high 23 points (on 11-of-12 shooting) and added seven boards to lead the Tar Heels to an 81–75 win at Florida State. UNC has won six games in a row and cemented a bid to the NCAA Tournament. FRANK KAMINSKY, WISCONSIN The Badgers’ big man gave Wisconsin its fourth win in a row in a 75–62 victory at Michigan on Sunday. Kaminsky scored 25 points on 11-of16 shooting against the Wolverines while adding 11 rebounds. On Thursday, Kaminsky chipped in with 17 points in a 78–70 win over Minnesota. JORDAN BACHYNSKI, ARIZONA STATE Arizona finally ran into a defensive force that could match the Wildcats. Bachynski had eight blocks in a 69–66 double overtime upset of the Wildcats on Friday night. The big man helped Arizona State on the offensive end with 13 points, including 7-of-11 free throw shooting JABARI BROWN, MISSOURI The Tigers’ guard kept Missouri in NCAA contention this week with key wins over Arkansas and Tennessee. Brown had 24 points in a 75–70 win over Tennessee on Saturday and 25 points in Thursday’s 86–85 victory over Arkansas. Brown’s basket with 12.2 seconds left against the Razorbacks clinched the win. RAKEEM CHRISTMAS, SYRACUSE Christmas had the steal to set up C.J. Fair’s game-winning layup as Syracuse defeated NC State 56–55 to remain unbeaten. Christmas finished with 14 points, 12 rebounds and seven blocks in the win. In another close call with Pitt on Wednesday, Christmas had seven points, five rebounds and three blocks. JAVAN FELIX, TEXAS With leading scorer Jonathan Holmes out for one game last week, Felix helped pick up the slack with 27 points in 30 minutes in an 87– 68 win over Oklahoma State on Tuesday. When Holmes returned, Felix remained the go-to player with 18 points in a 88–71 win over West Virginia on Saturday. KENNY CHERY, BAYLOR The junior college transfer point guard kept Baylor in contention for an NCAA Tournament spot with a triple-double in the 87–73 doubleovertime win over Kansas State. Chery finished with 20 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds as Baylor fought back from a 10-point deficit with nine minutes to go. Two days later, he scored 10 points and had four assists in an overtime win over Oklahoma State.
Matt Stamey/Gainesville Sun /Landov
DOUG MCDERMOTT, CREIGHTON Dougie McBuckets continued to move up the all-time scoring list last week, passing Larry Bird on Sunday. McDermott matched a season high with 39 points against Villanova, completing a regular-season sweep against the Big East leaders. McDermott also scored 26 points in a 68–63 close call with Butler on Thursday. The senior shot 24-of-36 from the field for the week.
Last two wins have come by a total of three points. Gators can make a strong case to be ranked No. 1. Cats have lost two straight away from home. Shockers closing in on perfect regular season. Devils are the nation’s most efficient offensive team. Bluejays sweep Villanova (by combined 49 points). Tough schedule keeps KU in position to earn No. 1 seed. Three of Cavs’ final four games are at home. Nova’s Big East title hopes take a huge hit in Omaha. Loss in Laramie will damage Aztecs’ NCAA seed. Ejim scored 48 vs. TCU; total of 19 next two games. Billikens three up in the loss column in the A-10. Kaminsky shines as Badgers top Michigan in Ann Arbor. LeVert only bright spot in home loss to Wisconsin. UC leads American but has a tough closing slate. Hawkeyes poised for a strong finish in Big Ten play. Cats crumble down the stretch against Florida. Veteran Cards are 6–0 on the road in league play. Banged up Spartans are 3–4 after 18–1 start. Huskies outlast Memphis in key American showdown. Horns hit the road for four of final six Big 12 games. Buckeyes only have two double-figure scorers. Bruins head to the Bay for key two-game road trip. Heels have played their way off the bubble. Tigers don’t have any bad losses.

Is Parker the best of the rest? Assuming Doug McDermott will win National Player of the Year honors, who would be No. 2 on your ballot? Mitch Light: This was very difficult. I went with Jabari Parker because he does so much for Duke. The freshman from Chicago quickly emerged as the Blue Devils’ primary option, and he leads the team in scoring (19.5 ppg) and rebounding (8.5). Parker is Duke’s only consistent threat on the low block, and he is also a weapon on the perimeter due to his ability to handle the ball and shoot from 3-point range. Mike Krzyzewski’s team features some nice front-end talent but isn’t loaded with future NBA players and lacks depth. Parker’s presence makes Duke a threat to win the national title; without him, the Blue Devils would struggle to make the top 25. David Fox: Good thing McDermott is a virtual lock for National Player of the Year because the rest of the race would be a jumble. I tend to favor players whose teams would be lost without them. That leads me to Sean Kilpatrick at Cincinnati. The Bearcats get perpetually overlooked because they play a soft non-conference schedule, and they’re generally a low-scoring, defensive-minded team. Without Kilpatrick, Cincinnati would be lucky to be in contention for the NIT. Braden Gall: Obviously, there really isn’t a clear challenger to McDermott. Iowa State’s Melvin Ejim was my first thought but one could argue (although I wouldn’t) that he isn’t the most important player on his own team. Sean Kilpatrick and Shabazz Napier carry their teams offensively for Cincinnati and UConn, respectively, while Russ Smith plays a similar role for Louisville in the American Athletic Conference. That said, No. 2 on my ballot will come from the winner of the SyracuseDuke game in Durham this weekend. If the Orange complete the sweep over Duke, my vote would go to C.J. Fair — aka, the best player on the best team in the nation. If Duke can continue to surge up the polls and beats Syracuse, my vote would go to

LOUISVILLE AT CINCINNATI The Cardinals and Bearcats continue to battle for the American Athletic Conference title, and the final regular-season matchup between the two could be the key game. Cincinnati won the first meeting on the road thanks to Sean Kilpatrick’s 28 points. Since then, Louisville has made easy work of the bottom half of the AAC. The Cardinals would like to get off to a good start in a stretch that includes road trips to Cincinnati, Memphis and SMU and the regularseason finale at home against UConn. WISCONSIN AT IOWA The Badgers have returned to their early season form, thanks to the inside-out duo of Frank Kaminsky and Ben Brust and an improved perimeter defense. Iowa remains one of the most consistent teams in the country, but the first meeting between these two teams was not one of the Hawkeyes’ finest moments. Coach Fran McCaffery was ejected and subsequently suspended for a game due to an on-court tirade. TEXAS TECH AT OKLAHOMA STATE The game is notable for the return of Marcus Smart from his three-game suspension, oddly enough against the same team Smart faced during the spectator-pushing incident that drew national attention. Oklahoma State needs Smart to play like the All-American he was earlier in the season in the worst way. The Cowboys have been one of the most disappointing teams in the Big 12, both before and during his suspension. ST. JOHN’S AT VILLANOVA The Red Storm have come a long way from the team that lost to the Wildcats 74–67 back on Jan. 11. That version of St. John’s opened Big East play 0–5. Since then, St. John’s has played to its talent level to move into NCAA Tournament contention. D’Angelo Harrison, who was suspended at the end of last season, has been on fire for St. John’s. Villanova, meanwhile, is looking to reassert itself in the Big East after losing to Creighton for the second time this season. BAYLOR AT WEST VIRGINIA A month or two ago, no one would have pinpointed this as a key game between NCAA Tournament bubble teams. Baylor went into a slump to start Big 12 play, while West Virginia has played itself into contention thanks to some major wins in conference play. A key battle will be between the two point guards. The Mountaineers’ Juwan Staten is a high-volume scorer, while the Bears’ Kenny Chery is a week removed from a triple-double against Kansas State.

Duke forward Jabari Parker continues to be one of the elite freshmen in the nation and might be the best player in college basketball not named Doug McDermott.
Jabari Parker, a freshman who has been the team’s best player. Name a team that wasn’t on the bubble two weeks ago that can make the NCAA Tournament. Light: West Virginia still has some work to do, but it’s quite remarkable that we are talking about this team possibly earning an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Mountaineers have won four of their last six to improve their record to 15–11 overall and 7–6 in the very tough Big 12. They have four wins against top50 RPI teams, highlighted by a 102– 77 beatdown vs. Iowa State on Feb. 10. Nine of WVU’s 11 losses have come against top-50 RPI teams, and the two that did not occurred in November (Virginia Tech) and December (Purdue). Bob Huggins’ team plays three of its final five regularseason games at home, including a Nathan Rush 36-24

huge home game against Kansas on March 8. The opportunity is there for this team to make the NCAAs. Fox: If Nebraska can continue its hot streak in the final month of the season, the Cornhuskers could make a late push for an NCAA Tournament bid. There’s little room for error, though. This team lost to Creighton and UMass early in the season and then endured a six-game losing streak. But Tim Miles’ team is one of the most improved in the country since then, defeating Ohio State and Indiana at home and then shocking Michigan State on the road. Terran Petteway has proven himself to be a 30-point player when called upon. He and the Huskers are capable of stringing together a winning streak against the lower tier of the Big Ten to set up a huge regular-season finale in Lincoln against Wisconsin.

KANSAS STATE AT OKLAHOMA The coaching matchup alone provides two great stories, as Kansas State’s Bruce Weber and Oklahoma’s Lon Kruger have settled in nicely in the Big 12. Don’t forget that both of these teams have been major surprises this season despite being led by freshman point guards. K-State’s Marcus Foster gets overshadowed in the Big 12, but he’s as productive as any rookie in the league. OU’s Jordan Woodard has shown a nice ability to get the weapons around him involved. MINNESOTA AT OHIO STATE This game will be worth watching mainly due to the matchup between the best on-ball defender in the country in Aaron Craft for Ohio State and Minnesota’s active guards DeAndre Mathieu and Andre Hollins. Minnesota is still a bubble team, but a win in Columbus would be key for the Gophers’ aspirations to play in March. SYRACUSE AT DUKE Conference realignment has decimated traditions in college basketball, but a series between Syracuse and Duke is one of the pleasant developments for hoops fans. The Orange won the first meeting 91–89 in overtime in a classic in the Carrier Dome. Duke’s fantastic freshman Jabari Parker spent most of the game in foul trouble, so he’ll be looking to reassert himself in the rematch. Meanwhile, Syracuse point guard Tyler Ennis has established himself as the nation’s most important freshmen in a year full of high-profile rookies. TEXAS AT KANSAS Texas started the week one game behind Kansas in the Big 12 race. Just being within striking distance of the Jayhawks is a major victory for the Longhorns this season. The Horns have the big men in Cameron Ridley and Jonathan Holmes to counter Kansas’ frontcourt, especially if Jayhawks freshman Joel Embiid continues to be hampered by injuries. SUNDAY, FEB. 23 MICHIGAN STATE AT MICHIGAN The Michigan schools are atop the Big Ten, but that’s hard to believe after both lost at home last Sunday. It’s tough to figure whose situation is more dire. Michigan State remains beset by injuries and hardly looked the part of a Final Four contender in a 60–51 loss to Nebraska. Michigan has struggled to find offensive consistency, losing three of its last five. This is a marquee matchup in the Big Ten, and an important game for two teams hoping to get on a roll in the final weeks of the regular season.

Misfiring frosh Loving must help out struggling Buckeyes BY RUSTY MILLER Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A freshman who didn’t make a field goal in six consecutive games remains an important — perhaps even vital — player for No. 24 Ohio State. Marc Loving hadn’t hit a shot since Jan. 20 — going 0 for 11 — before he finally made three in the second half Saturday night at Illinois. His eight points for a struggling Ohio State attack were like a cool drink of water to a man crawling
through the desert. The Buckeyes, despite winning 20 of 26 games, are still at times the gang that can’t shoot straight. “To have Marc coming in and scoring — we would gladly welcome (it),” coach Thad Matta said Tuesday on the eve of the Buckeyes’ home game against Northwestern. “Yeah, open arms, bring it on, we’ll take it.” In the first half at Illinois, the Buckeyes shot 32 percent (9 of 28) and mustered just 20 points. They
trailed by three points at the break. To try to turn things around, Matta went to his bench more and, for a change, the reserves responded. They had provided just 14 points total in the previous two games but came through with 17 as the Buckeyes shot 48 percent in the second half (9 of 19) to pull out a 4839 win. Loving, last year’s Ohio Associated Press Mr. Basketball out of Toledo’s St. John’s Jesuit High School,
scored eight points in a 12-0 run that turned the game around. “Some of it was mental,” he said of his offensive drought. “A lot of the game is mental. So just seeing the ball go through basically gives you a mindset that, ‘It works. The ball does go through.’” He wasn’t alone. The Illinois game marked team season lows for points (48), field goals (18), fieldgoal attempts (47) and 3-point field goals made (3) for Ohio State (20-6,
7-6 Big Ten). The Buckeyes are shooting just 43 percent in conference play, including 33 percent behind the arc. The coaches go through video clips to try to detect flaws in shooting motion by players. They are at a loss why the struggles have continued. Matta said Ohio State missed wide-open shots in the first half. “(They were) in and out shots, at the rim,” he said. “As we looked at it, watching our execution, it’s like,
‘Wow, I don’t know if we could get a better shot than that.’ They were right on target, but they just didn’t go in.” Ohio State scored 40 or more points in the first half seven times during a cream-puff pre-conference schedule. The Buckeyes haven’t topped that figure in their last 11 Big Ten games. That leads to closer games and a smaller margin of error, putting even more pressure on the defense to not make mistakes.

AUBURN, Ala. — The key number for Auburn’s Chris Denson lately has been 25. The quick, acrobatic guard is the Tigers’ first player in 25 years to score 25-plus points in four consecutive games. Denson is averaging 27.5 points and double-digit free throws during that stretch going into Wednesday night’s rematch with No. 2 Florida. “I’ve been letting the game come to me,” Denson said Tuesday. “I feel like every
time I try to force the issue, my scoring isn’t there and I have an off game. Coach is always saying, ‘Don’t force the issue. Just let the game come to you.’ “That’s what I’ve been doing and it’s come with good results.” The 6-foot-2, 181-pound Denson has been the biggest bright spot for the struggling Tigers (12-11, 4-8 Southeastern Conference), especially lately. He’s leading the league in scoring at 20.9 points per game and is the first Auburn
player to score 25-plus points four games in a row since Keenan Carpenter did it in five straight in 1988-89. South Carolina, LSU, Kentucky and Mississippi State have been unable to slow down Denson, even though the Tigers are 2-2 during that stretch. He has taken 41 free throws in those four games, making 31. Denson is already only the second Auburn player to score as many as 271 points in SEC games over the past 20 years, with six games to go.
“Chris has matured off the floor, and he’s matured on the court,” Tigers coach Tony Barbee said. “It’s allowed him to do things that he wouldn’t be capable of doing early in his career because he was so immature. I’m as proud of what he’s done off the floor as what he’s done on the floor.” The differences on the court include consistent effort and staying focused on defense, things that keep him from getting sent to the bench Please see DENSON | 13

Arkansas’ Clarke works on foul trouble Associated Press
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas forward Coty Clarke can’t help himself. He doesn’t want to get into foul trouble. The senior tries his best to avoid it. But for whatever reason, Clarke just can’t seem to steer clear of a first half spent predominantly on Arkansas’ bench because of two personal fouls. “It’s just a bad habit,” Clarke said. “I can’t help it. I try to. When I feel like I’m not out there playing aggressive, that’s not me. I try not to foul, but it’s just a habit.”
The issue is the only blemish for the team captain, whose productive play has been a big part of Arkansas’ recent success despite his limited minutes. Clarke’s value to the Hogs was evident last week, when he scored 28 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in 40 minutes. Over two games. He had 12 points in the loss at Missouri, then followed with a 16-point effort in the win against LSU last Saturday. Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said it’s a clear sign of Clarke’s impact on the Razorbacks when he’s on the
floor. He just wonders what it would be like if Clarke — who is averaging 9.1 points and 5.7 rebounds a game — could stay out there a little longer by avoiding early foul trouble. “I think it’s just careless, just being lazy,” Anderson said of Clarke’s early foul issues. “The fouls that he gets are like touch fouls early on and it’s amazing that he plays so much more aggressive when he has three fouls. … So I think it’s more just going out and getting into the flow of the game. Not necessarily get those cheap fouls, those cheap fouls where he is reach-
ing come back to haunt him.” Clarke shook his head when asked about the foul trouble after Monday’s practice. He’s well aware of the issue and said it dates back to when he was young. It seems that aggressiveness has always been part of his game. But Clarke said it goes hand-in-hand with his eagerness to make a play. “I always think that I can get that ball, no matter what,” Clarke said. “I’m going to try to get it. With the rules being the way they are, sometimes Please see CLARKE | 13
Duke, UNC ready for delayed rivalry game Jeter declares ‘time is right’ to call it quits BY RONALD BLUM Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — Derek Jeter spoke for 25 minutes, 44 seconds and answered 26 questions about his decision to retire at the end of this season. He said “it’s time,” ‘‘the right time” and “the time is now.” Twice more he added “the time is right.” Jeter will be leaving the major leagues the way he entered: accessible, yet opaque; approachable, but distant. So why is Jeter retiring? “He just said ‘it’s time,’ but he didn’t really say,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman concluded after Jeter reported to spring training Wednesday for his 20th and final major league season. One week earlier, the Yankees captain surprised and saddened teammates with his announcement, revealed by posting a 15-paragraph, 644-word statement on his Facebook page, one relatively few people were aware he even had. “You can’t do this forever.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — North Carolina coach Roy Williams went into last week’s pregame meal thinking a winter storm wouldn’t prevent Duke from getting to the Smith Center for the latest installment in the fierce rivalry. Eight days later, the No. 5 Blue Devils are finally making their way to Chapel Hill. The storm that paralyzed
area roads with snow and ice kept Duke’s bus from even making it to Durham to pick up the team for the 11-mile drive to Chapel Hill. That forced the game’s postponement to tonight, creating a four-games-in-eight-days stretch for both teams that’s particularly challenging for Duke with No. 1 Syracuse visiting Saturday night. “The frustrating thing is that you go through all the junk on game day and the
stress and everything and then you don’t get to play,” Williams said Wednesday. “So you’ve got to do it twice for only one game. That’s not fair. We did it last week and we’ll do it again tomorrow.” At least there shouldn’t be any weather delays this time around. Temperatures reached 70 degrees Wednesday afternoon, though piles of snow were still stubbornly refusing to melt around the Smith
Center even amid the springlike conditions. A week earlier, roads were snow-covered parking lots littered with abandoned cars of people who gave up trying to drive ice-slickened highways and headed out on foot. Still, UNC officials insisted the game would be played as scheduled most of the afternoon even as they cautioned fans to stay off the roads. Please see RIVALRY | 13
Ex-Auburn player Ward enters diversion program BY PHILLIP RAWLS Associated Press
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Former Auburn basketball player Varez Ward was accepted into a pre-trial diversion program that could dismiss his point-shaving charges if he completes the program without any problems, Assistant U.S. Attorney Clark Morris said. Ward’s attorney, Everett Wess, said the program is a wonderful opportunity for Ward to put the case behind him. To complete the pro-
gram, he needs to keep taking courses at a Montgomery university, work and stay out of trouble for a year. “He’s happy to have the opportunity to go through life without a felony conviction on his record,” Wess said Tuesday evening. Ward was arrested in June on charges of bribery and conspiracy that accused him of trying to fix the point spread in Auburn’s game against Arkansas on Jan. 25, 2012. Ward came off the bench in that game but crumpled to
the floor after playing only 19 seconds with an apparent leg injury. Arkansas won 56-53. Ward was suspended before a Feb. 25, 2012, game, also against Arkansas, and didn’t play for the Tigers again. Ward, a 6-foot-2 guard from Montgomery, averaged nine points per game and started 17 games in his only season at Auburn. He played two seasons for Texas before transferring to Auburn. Ward had been scheduled for trial earlier this month,
but a judge postponed it in anticipation of Ward entering the pre-trial diversion program. If Ward fails to complete the program and has to go to trial, he faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Federal prosecutors said Auburn cooperated fully with the investigation. Auburn said in a statement after Ward’s arrest last year that it notified the FBI, NCAA and Southeastern Conference immediately after learning of the matter in 2012.

College union witness likens schools to pros BY MICHAEL TARM Associated Press
CHICAGO — Major colleges run their football teams just like those in the NFL, relying on players to generate millions of dollars in revenue, an economist testified Wednesday before a federal agency that will decide whether Northwestern football players may form the first union for college athletes in U.S. history. “The difference would be ... the NFL pays their players,” Southern Utah University sports economist David Berri told the National Labor Relations Board on the second day of a hearing in Chicago that could stretch into Friday. That colleges don’t pay their football players, he said, likely boosts their programs’ profitability further. The NLRB is considering whether Wildcats’ football players can be categorized under U.S. law as employees, which would give them rights to unionize. The university, the Big Ten Conference and NCAA have all maintained college players are student-athletes, not employees. Attorneys for Northwestern began presenting their case opposing unionization, endeavoring to show that the newly formed College Athletes Players Association would provide little tangible benefit to the Northwestern players. Asked whether one of CAPA’s stated goals — to improve football-player graduation rates — made any sense for Northwestern, the university’s associate athletic director, Brian Baptiste, noted the school’s rate was already No. 1 in the nation — at 97 percent. “I guess you can increase 97 percent,” he said wryly. Union supporters say they would be able to force schools to better protect football players from head injuries. Baptiste suggested that only the NCAA, with over-
sight power across the country, was in position to address that. “That has to be done on a national level,” he said. “Northwestern wouldn’t have control over that.” Supporters argue a union would provide athletes a vehicle to lobby for greater financial security. They contend scholarships sometimes don’t even cover livings expenses for a full year. Baptiste said NCAA rules tie Northwestern’s hands, and they would bar it from assenting to demands from an oncampus football union, including calls to increase the value of scholarships. He said the NCAA caps scholarship amounts. Berri, the economist, was called to testify on behalf of the proposed union, which is pushing the unionization bid with support from the United Steelworkers. He sought to illustrate how the relationship between Northwestern and its football players was one of employer to employees. Profit numbers attest to the program being a commercial enterprise, he told the hearing, Northwestern’s football program reported a total profit of $76 million from 2003 to 2012, with revenues of $235 million and costs of $159 million, Berri testified. The numbers were adjusted for inflation for the private school. Berri conceded he didn’t know that maintenance of the Wildcats’ stadium was not included in the expense numbers. And he said he also did not know if football profits made up for losses in other, less popular school sports. Schools with revenue-generating football teams were in the business of entertainment, Berri said. Asked who provided those services, he responded, “Players are the ones you are watching.”
DENSON CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12
after lapses. Denson does most of his damage on drives to the basket, attempting few 3-pointers. He’s more adept at slipping past defenders, making seemingly awkward shots and heading to the free-throw line with frequency. Given his balance and deftness on those improbable shots, it seemed fitting that he sported a Spiderman jersey underneath his practice jersey. “They call me slippery so I just find the lanes,” Denson said. “I’m good
at making the crazy upand-unders. I practice them every day. That’s just me. That’s just my game.” Denson knows that keeping his streak going won’t be easy against the Gators, but he was solid in the first meeting. Denson had 21 points on 8-of-18 shooting in the Tigers’ 68-61 loss. “I remember the first time I played them, it was very hard for me to score because they lock you in defensively,” Denson said. “That’s how they win all their games. This is a big challenge for me.”

not look ahead, and just really get our reps. This coming week is really going to be a big week for our program.” Both the Blue Devils (21-5, 10-3 ACC) and Tar Heels (18-7, 8-4) have won twice since the postponement. After edging Maryland at home Saturday, Duke beat Georgia Tech in Atlanta on Tuesday night for its fourth straight win. The Tar Heels beat thenNo. 25 Pittsburgh on Saturday then won at Florida State on Monday for their seventh straight win. The win against Pitt was particularly big for the Tar Heels, who dug their way out of an 0-3 ACC start primarily by
beating teams standing at sixth or lower in the standings. “We were still pretty confident, we had won a couple going into the first date for the Duke game,” UNC sophomore Marcus Paige said. “But I think, yeah, this gives us a little more confidence. The Pitt game was a big game for us. We thought we really got better that game. We’re a little more confident, but I know they’ve been playing well, too.” While UNC hosts struggling Wake Forest on Tuesday, the Blue Devils will have to regroup quickly before hosting the Orange in a rematch of the overtime classic
won by Syracuse in the Carrier Dome on Feb. 1. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski compared the two games to being in the Final Four, though he has emphasized looking at the games individually instead of as a four-game stretch. “I think you can get ahead of yourself with the buildup that people will give for the Thursday night game and the Saturday game,” Krzyzewski said this week. “... You can have a tendency of not giving each game the value of emotion, the mental, physical and emotional preparation that’s needed. That’s why were’ trying to look at it in that way.”
back to him late in the half and the gamble paid off. He knocked down a pair of 3-pointers that helped Arkansas eventually trim a 9-point deficit to six points by halftime. There was a similar problem against LSU when Clarke picked up his second foul at the 16:34 mark in the first half and went to the bench again. But Anderson left Clark on the bench for the rest of the half against the Tigers. Clarke returned in the
second half and immediately picked up his third foul with 18:32 to go. But he handled it well the rest of the game, scoring 16 points in 18 minutes in the second half. It included three 3-pointers that helped Arkansas win. “I kept my focus and if I would’ve been negative about it I probably wouldn’t of did what I did,” Clarke said about his second-half performance. “I just kept a positive mind and kept my faith and I was able to make
plays when I went back out there and kept the energy. I didn’t let that bring me down.” Anderson said there’s no question the team captain has been a calming force for the Razorbacks this season. He has teamed with Bobby Portis to give Arkansas a solid starting frontline. Anderson believes Clarke’s strength is his rebounding, but the forward has shown his ability to step out and play on the perimeter as well.

It wasn’t until Duke couldn’t even board the bus, let alone try to make its way through the gridlocked U.S. 15-501 that runs between the campuses, that the game was finally postponed about 3½ hours before tipoff. Now both teams are in the middle of a jumbled stretch of the schedule. “We did some conditioning on the couple of days that we had off, just to stay in shape,” Duke sophomore Rasheed Sulaimon said after Saturday’s win against Maryland. “These next few days we just have to take care of our body, focus on one game at a time,

they help, and sometimes they hurt. Like last year, I probably could get away with a few of those. They could have been deflections or steals. But now they’re calling them fouls. “I’ve got to take it and stop putting my team in a bad bind.” Clarke picked up two fouls within the first five minutes at Missouri and spent the next 13 minutes on Arkansas’ bench. Anderson opted to go
ger a game.” Just two years ago, Jeter led the big leagues with 216 hits. And after an offseason of intensive workouts, Jeter is confident he will regain his productivity this year and be an everyday shortstop — only the fourth in big league history in the season they turned 40. In the second half of his life, Jeter could have a future in business or even baseball management — he’s earned enough to be-
come an owner. He’s been among New York’s most eligible bachelors. “There’s other things I want to do. I want to have a family. That’s important me,” he said, without a hint of what “other things” might entail. Jeter enters his 20th big league season with a .312 average, 256 homers and 1,261 RBIs. Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson already has Tweeted the 2020 induction ceremony is scheduled for July 26.

to, but you can’t do it forever,” he said to a crowded room filled with Yankees management and players in addition to media. Jeter, who turns 40 in June, was limited to 17 games last season, hitting .190 with one homer and seven RBIs after breaking his left ankle in the 2012 AL championship series opener. While he returned last July, he wound up on the disabled list three
more times because of leg ailments caused by a lack of strength after the ankle healed. “It wasn’t fun because I wasn’t playing. I think it forced me to start thinking about, well, how long do I want to do this? And that’s how I came to my decision,” he said. “It just became a job last year.” He sounded much like Joe DiMaggio, who left the Yankees in December 1951 saying, “when baseball is no longer fun, it’s no lon-
