What happened to ‘Harper’? County weighs road projects

Local dog lovers hope stray dog remains okay BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

The corner of Harper Road and Proper Street is without its mascot as “Harper” – the stray dog who captured the hearts of many – is believed to have been missing now for just over a month. “We discovered he was gone the day after two-year-old Noah Chamberlain went missing (Jan. 15),” said receptionist Amy McAlpin at the Corinth Pulmonary Clinic, located near the intersection, as she referred to the Chester County, Tenn. toddler who was found deceased a week after he was discovered missing. “We saw him (Harper) that morning when we fed and watered him, but haven’t seen hide nor hair of him since.” “We really miss him and it hasn’t been the same around here since his disappearance. Our patients miss him as well and ask about him daily,” she said. “We’ve even had several individuals we’ve never met stop by and inquire as to his whereabouts. Over the years, he has touched a lot of people.” A regular sight at the intersection, the beloved canine has walked the length of Harper Road for so long that he was eventually named for it. “He was here when we opened the clinic in 2004, so we know he is at least 10 years

under the overpass.” Over the years, both the shelter and Corinth Animal Control have made numerous attempts to get Harper off the streets, but to no avail. “We’ve even set out traps to try and catch him, but people keep springing them despite the leash law,” said Doehner. “I let him (the visitor) know that we’ve done all we can do for the dog, but he said it wasn’t

Alcorn County supervisors are looking at possible road projects after getting a preview of the new term’s funding outlook for the State Aid Program and other sources. The Board of Supervisors met with Cook Coggin Engineers on Monday to learn more about funding options other than local tax revenue for road and bridge projects. Based on that information, the supervisors plan to prioritize some projects. The formula for State Aid funding typically gives Alcorn County $642,600 annually, but Cook Coggin expects that to be cut to $467,000 this year. Over the course of the full term, the county is projected to get $2.334 million through the program. “That could get revised later in the term,” said Kent Geno, the county engineer. Because 10 percent is generally held back, the county can expect to have about $2.101

Harper relaxes in the spot he loves most, the grassy area near the Harper and Proper intersection. old, possibly even older,” said B. Wayne McAlpin, M.D. “At first we saw him once a week, then every other day, but eventually started seeing him on a daily basis. When he was younger, you’d spot him anywhere from Walmart to Subway, but always on the same road which is why locals began calling him ‘Harper’.” Presumed to have been taken, residents and visitors alike are asking, who could have taken Harper and why?

Volunteer Director Charlotte Doehner with the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter may have the answer. “We had an older gentleman pay us a visit about a month ago and he was very upset and concerned about Harper’s well-being, claiming the shelter was not doing enough for him,” said Doehner. “I explained to him that we check on Harper twice a day and have added new pillows and a warm blanket to his dog house

Fillmore Street Chapel made the list. The oldest church building in Corinth is now part of the National Register of Historic

Places. “The Chapel” — referred to by most First United Methodist Church members — is listed on the National Register as Fillmore Street Cumberland Presbyterian.

“It was built in 1871, had major structural improvements in 1898 and added an educational annex in 1922,” said Rosemary Fisher, Chairman of the Chapel Please see CHAPEL | 6A

The Alcorn County board of education made a change to their teacher and administrative employment policy earlier this month. Board members voted 3-2 to pass an amendment to the Alcorn School District’s current employee non-renewal policy. In accordance with the Mississippi Education Employment Procedures Law, current board policy states licensed or certified employees must be informed of non-renewal in a timely, cost-efficient and fair manner, and provide notice of the reasons for not offering an employee a renewal of his or her contract. The policy also requires non-renewal decisions to be based upon valid educational reasons or noncompliance with school district personnel policies. The amendment the board voted to add to the policy states the Alcorn School District Board of Education has the responsibility of provid-

ing and maintaining quality schools, and for good cause the board may abolish or combine job positions, reduce length of the work year with a related reduction in salary, reduce administrative supplements or reduce the number of employees, with staff reductions accomplished by attrition. Enrollment declines and financial reduction are two new reasons added to the policy as valid non-reemployment decisions. “The primary objective of the board when reducing the work force will be the maintenance of a fair and balanced education program consistent with the needs of the students and the functions and responsibilities of the school district,” the amendment states. Board president Carroll Morton voted against the amendment addition. “I see no reason to take their rights away from them,” he said. “I don’t believe the ship is sinking just yet.” Please see POLICY | 2A

We went to check on him a few hours later and Harper was gone.” Despite his disappearance, the shelter continues to check on Harper as does the clinic. “His bowls are still here and we put fresh food and water out for him daily in hopes he might show up one day,” said Dr. McAlpin. “If he doesn’t, I guess I will eventually have to donate all his food to the shelter, but for now I’m going to hold onto it.” “He was acting kind of strange a few days before his disappearance and was more approachable than I’ve ever seen him, leading me to wonder if he was possibly ill,” he added. “He has definitely gotten slower over the years,” agreed Doehner. “We have been giving him glucosamine (slipped into his food) for his hip and in the past have wondered if perhaps he had been

bumped by a car.” Believed to be a collie and lab mix, Harper also known as “Lucky,” is described as a lovable, street-smart dog who loves to chase firetrucks. “He is so intelligent and that’s why he has been able to survive as long as he has,” said receptionist Cindy Johnson at First Team Real Estate. “I haven’t seen him do it in the past few years, but when he was younger, he used to stand and wait for the lights to change and look both ways before crossing the street to get to the gas station. I’ve witnessed him to do that with my own eyes.” Watching his easy stride develop into a limp over time, Johnson and other motorists have had their fair share of Harper scares. “One morning just before 8 a.m. last spring I was driving down Harper Road and saw the dog with his head laying on the asphalt. I was so afraid someone was going to hit him, but they were just driving around him as they usually did. I actu-

Hopefully, someone has him and he is okay, but if not, we would love to find him and bury him if he hasn’t been already.” Cindy Johnson ally got out of my car and stopped traffic to chase him out of the road as did a truck a while later,” she said. Accustomed to wandering the neighborhood, Harper would sometimes disappear for weeks at a time. “There were several occassions when we wouldn’t see him for a while, but were told he had showed up each morning to eat and was just playing with some of the other dogs at Melody Park,” said Johnson. “He is so well known that everyone looks for him when he isn’t around. He is a part of Corinth.” The father of at least five, Harper has a lookalike son called “Harper

Today in History

Pittman back in Scouts leadership role BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Today is Wednesday, Feb. 24, the 55th day of 2016. There are 311 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 24, 1868, the U.S. House of Representatives impeached President Andrew Johnson following his attempted dismissal of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton; Johnson was later acquitted by the Senate.

On this date: In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII issued an edict outlining his calendar reforms. (The Gregorian Calendar is the calendar in general use today.) In 1803, in its Marbury v. Madison decision, the Supreme Court established judicial review of the constitutionality of statutes. In 1912, the American Jewish women’s organization Hadassah was founded in New York City. In 1920, the German Workers Party, which later became the Nazi Party, met in Munich to adopt its platform. In 1946, Argentinian men went to the polls to elect Juan D. Peron their president. In 1966, Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana, was overthrown in a military coup while he was visiting Beijing; he was replaced by Joseph Arthur Ankrah. In 1975, the Congressional Budget Office, charged with providing independent analyses of budgetary and economic issues, began operating under its first director, Alice Rivlin. In 1988, in a ruling that expanded legal protections for parody and satire, the Supreme Court unanimously overturned a $150,000 award that the Rev. Jerry Falwell had won against Hustler magazine and its publisher, Larry Flynt. In 1996, Cuba downed two small American planes operated by the group Brothers to the Rescue that it claimed were violating Cuban airspace; all four pilots were killed.

Reassuming his past role on the Boy Scouts of America Yocona Area Council, Corinth resident Ronnie Pittman has once again been named District Executive for the Jacinto area. Vacating his seat in March of 2013, Pittman returned to his former position in July of 2015. Serving 12 counties in Northeast Mississippi including: Alcorn, Benton, Itawamba, Lafayette, Lee, Marshall, Prentiss, Pontotoc, Tippah, Tishomingo, Union and Yalo-

busha, the Yocona Area Council is headquartered in Tupelo. “Our mission is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law which states, ‘On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight’,” said Pittman. “A Scout is trustworthy,

loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.” “We currently have 19 active scout units and over 500 scouts,” he added. “All our units are run by volunteers and our efforts supported by our Friends of Scouting. They are the heart and soul of our organization and we couldn’t do what we do without them.” As executive director, Pittman is responsible for three important areas of scouting: ■ Membership – re-

cruiting scouts and helping start unit ■ Financing – Friends of Scouting contributions, product sales and special event ■ Unit Support – assist unit leaders in training and all other things and advancement and recognition for scouts and leaders ■ Programs – working summer camps, helping manage camp-outs, daily events and other club and family activities. Continuing their many offerings, the scouts will hold a Cinco de Mayo Golf Tournament on

Thursday, May 5 at Pickwick Landing State Park in conjunction with Long Wholesale, Balfour and Physicians Urgent Care. Lunch will be enjoyed at noon, followed by teeoff at 1 p.m. The cost to enter is $100 per player or $400 per team. Hole sponsorships are available for $100 and up. “We invite everyone to join us and help support the scouts on Cinco de Mayo,” said Pittman. “We are looking forward to the tournament and are hoping to have a nice, sunny day for it.”

Across the Region BMC students will read at convention BLUE MOUNTAIN — Two senior English majors from Blue Mountain College were chosen to read their writings at the 2016 Sigma Tau Delta International Convention in Minneapolis, Minn. on March 2-5. Makenzee Whaley, a senior from Ashland, will read her creative non-fiction work entitled “Time and a Violin,” and Sandra Priest, a senior from Pontotoc, will read her short story entitled “Hope House.” This is the second year in a row that both students have been selected to read. Sigma Tau Delta is an international collegiate society for students of English at four-year colleges and universities with over 850 chapters in the United States and abroad. The society inducts over 9,000 new members annually. Blue Mountain College’s chapter was established in 2007 by sponsors. “The BMC Department of Language and Literature is so very proud of these two students who, for the second time, have been chosen from among thousands of entries all over the country to read their works at the international convention,” said Chapter sponsor Sherrell Settlemires.

more of the academic year (180 days) for any reason, chronic absenteeism is often masked by a school district’s Average Daily Attendance (ADA). Even among Mississippi school districts with an ADA of 95 percent or greater, over half have chronic absenteeism rates greater than 10 percent and several as high as 13 percent. Fifteen percent of Mississippi K-12 public school students were chronically absent during the 2013-2014 school year, the latest data available. Alcorn County school rankings included Alcorn Central Elementary at 13.1 percent, Alcorn Central High at 21.7 percent, Alcorn Central Middle at 7.6 percent, Biggersville Elementary at 10.6 percent, Biggersville High at 19.1 percent, Corinth Elementary at 10.6 percent, Corinth High at 23.4 percent, Corinth Middle at 13.5 percent, Glendale Elementary at 18.0 percent, Kossuth Elementary at 12.9 percent, Kossuth High at 13.7 percent, Kossuth Middle at 13.3 percent and Rienzi Elementary at 16.2 percent. Using data from MDE, researchers found that Mississippi students who missed two to four days of school in September were five times more likely to be chronically absent for the year than those who had missed less than two days.

be linked to student achievement. The report marked the first time student-level data had been used to compare achievement levels of Mississippi public school students in K-3 based on their patterns of attendance. Researchers analyzed test score data from 3rd grade students who took the Mississippi Curriculum Test, Second Edition (MCT2) English language arts assessment in the spring of 2014. Over half (53 percent) of those who were never chronically absent during their K-3 years scored proficient. In comparison, 40 percent of their peers who were chronically absent during the same time period were proficient with 60 percent falling below the proficient level. “I am thankful for the work of education partners like Mississippi KIDS COUNT to improve student achievement in the state. I hope that school and district leaders will review their data and formulate a plan to reach out to the students and parents and stress the critical importance of school attendance,” said Dr. Carey Wright, state superintendent of education. The student-level findings follow a March 2015 Mississippi KIDS COUNT report that examined chronic absenteeism at the school district level in Mississippi. Defined as missing 10 percent or

Corinth, Miss.

The destroyer cometh Donald Trump is running riot in the GOP china shop and gleefully tearing the place up. Consider the strength of Trump’s position: If he wins South Carolina by a big margin, he goes into Nevada with Rich momentum, and the latest Lowry poll there has him leading by 26 points. If he enters Super National Tuesday a week later having Review won three out of the past three states – and with Ted Cruz diminished by a South Carolina loss and Marco Rubio having won nowhere – he could easily win, say, 10 contests that day. It might still be possible to beat Trump at that point if the field is narrowed (states don’t become winner-take-all until March 15), but doing so would involve wrestling to the ground a candidate who will have cut a formidable swath through the first month of the nomination battle. Even now, it’s hard to imagine a happy outcome for the party from the three likeliest scenarios: – If Trump wins the nomination outright, many Republican voters may stay home, and senators and members of the House up for reelection will scurry for cover. It is certainly possible that Trump will prove a better general-election candidate than expected, just as he has proved a much more potent candidate in the primaries than nearly anyone thought. But it also is likely that the general public will be less enamored or forgiving of those qualities in Trump that have charmed or at least not bothered a plurality of the Republican electorate – the lack of political experience, the foul mouth, the constant psychodrama, the spotty business record. – If Trump is dragged to an open convention and leads in delegates, but falls short of a majority and is denied the nomination, there will be a bloodbath. Trump will make Andrew Jackson’s angry cry of a “corrupt bargain” after Old Hickory lost the presidency in the House of Representatives in 1824 – despite leading in popular and electoral votes – look like a measured, coolheaded response. Trump will stomp off, and no doubt take a lot of his supporters with him. – If Trump is beaten prior to a convention, it will presumably require an all-out war against the mogul. Well-heeled Republican donors will have to pour money into a thermonuclear advertising campaign to destroy his image. The party will have to do everything in its power to bolster a Trump alternative. Such an effort will no doubt strike Trump as “unfair,” and he will do all he can to delegitimize it and find targets to sue over it. Needless to say, none of this would be conducive to keeping Trump voters inside the Republican tent. Has any political party ever had a candidate who is such a wrecking ball, and who isn’t a fringe candidate, but a dominant one? The Republican front-runner is threatening to sue one of his challengers. The Republican front-runner thinks the last Republican president was guilty of impeachable offenses and lied the country into war. The Republican front-runner routinely attacks his own party for its perfidy – he claims the Iowa caucuses were stolen from him and the debate audiences are stacked against him – and insults his competitors in the harshest, most personal terms. We’ve grown used to how Trump has treated Jeb Bush in the debates, but that doesn’t make it any less appalling a breach of basic decency. The faces he makes while Bush talks, the constant interrupting, the petty put-downs – all of this would have been thought unworthy of the lowest political guttersnipe but have become an accepted part of the landscape thanks to Donald J. Trump. The key to Trump’s strength is that his supporters want someone to blow up the system. So there’s almost nothing he can say or do that will discredit him in their eyes, and the least destructive scenario for his defeat – Trump blows himself up – will take some doing on his part. It’s all very entertaining – but so are demolition derbies. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Prayer for today My Father, may I not sorrow so that I fail to comfort the sorrowing, and may I not be so happy that I fail to see that others need to be glad. I thank thee for thy providences. May I serve thee in helping others to brighter lives. Amen.

A verse to share If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 1:5

The ‘itching ears’ of Trump followers Since religious language has again infected this unpredictable and turbulent political season, here is a verse that could describe the followers of Donald Trump. It is found in Paul’s second letter to his protege Timothy (or as Trump might call it, Two Timothy): “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.” All politicians tell voters what they want to hear. It is one reason for the anger many voters feel for members of both political parties. These voters believe Washington has let them down, promising things it has not, or cannot, deliver in exchange for their support. Trump makes grandiose promises and claims he never backs up with facts. The latest, as noted by Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler, is Trump’s claim that he will negotiate the price of drugs with pharmaceutical companies, saving $300 billion. That his facts are incorrect and he doesn’t say how he will pull this off is of no concern to his followers, who never appear to question anything he says.

K e s sler writes, “Once again, we are confronted with a nonsense figure from Cal the mouth Thomas of Donald Trump. He is Columnist either claiming to save four times the entire cost of the Medicare prescription drug system – or he is claiming to make prescription drugs free for every American. Neither is possible.” Kessler gives Trump “four Pinocchios,” his highest rating for not being truthful. What about that border wall Trump continues to promise he will build across the southern border, sending Mexico the bill? It’s a great applause line, but in a recent interview on CNBC, former Mexican president Felipe Calderon said: “Mexican people, we are not going to pay any single cents for such a stupid wall.” Eduardo Sanchez, a spokesman for current Mexican President, Enrique Pena Nieto, said the same, adding that Trump’s position reflects “enormous ignorance.” In the CNBC interview, Calderon noted that closing off the southern border

would likely harm the U.S. more than it helps because of trade: “We love American products.” According to data from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, Mexico was the second-largest export market for the U.S. in 2013, totaling more than $226 billion. To followers of Trump it doesn’t matter. Inaccuracies and the unlikelihood of making good on his promises are not as important as the thought behind them. This can be dangerous in a leader who aspires to power. Writing in the Harvard Business Review in 2012, Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, the CEO of Hogan Assessment Systems, a professor of Business Psychology at University College London and a faculty member at Columbia University, warns about “The Dark Side of Charisma.” Noting “the short-term benefits of charisma are often neutralized by its long-term consequences,” Chamorro-Premuzic lists four reasons for resisting charisma: “Charisma often dilutes judgment,” it is “addictive,” it “disguises psychopaths” and it “fosters collective narcissism.” Despite the dangers, he says, “the dark side of charm is often overlooked.”

Before the rise of Trump, one could point to President Obama as a recent example of the phenomenon. “In the era of multimedia politics,” notes ChamorroPremuzic, “leadership is commonly downgraded to just another form of entertainment and charisma is indispensable for keeping the audience engaged.” A characteristic of Trump’s followers appears to be their determination to ignore any evidence that would challenge their faith. And so when I question the reality show-style of Trump, I get messages on social media calling me a “sack of (excrement),” a member of the “establishment” and “old,” which is the unkindest cut of all. Remember when age used to go with wisdom, unless proven otherwise? If you’re a millennial reading this, perhaps you have no memory of such a time. Trump may well win the Republican nomination and even the presidency. If he does, it will confirm that the transformation of American politics – from serious business, to another form of entertainment – is complete and the White House will become the biggest reality show of them all.

February clarifies both parties’ races In 2008, Barack Obama’s great victories in February primaries – Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Virginia and Wisconsin – gave him an unstoppable delegate lead for the Democratic nomination. In 2012, Mitt Romney’s wins in Florida (technically on Jan. 31) and Michigan sent him on his way to the Republican nomination. This year, with the foreshortened schedule, there are a couple of February contests to go. But the Feb. 20 Republican primary in South Carolina and the Democratic caucuses in Nevada make it plain what this cycle will look like, even if it’s not entirely clear who the winners will be. Let’s start with the Democrats. Hillary Clinton prevailed over Bernie Sanders, 53 percent to 47 percent, in Nevada. This was identical to her percent share of the vote there against Obama in 2008. As in Iowa and by a wide margin in New Hampshire, Clinton lost among white voters. According to the entrance poll, she won because 76 percent of black voters backed her. That’s a lower percent than Obama carried in 2008 primaries, but it’s more than she’s gotten in some polls. It guarantees her victory in South Carolina next Satur-

day and many more wins on March 1 in Southern states with half-black electorates. Michael The inBarone ternals are not quite a Columnist mirror of 2008. Some 80 percent of young voters are against her, and Latinos may have voted Sanders (though the entrance poll may be wrong on this). But Clinton runs better now among high-income Democrats (they don’t like 77 percent tax rates) and post-graduates (probably thanks to her teacher union endorsement). The upshot is the same: another long, hard slog to the nomination, but with a Clinton victory. And this time mirthless: Democratic turnout was down from 2008 in Iowa and New Hampshire, and Nevada super-analyst Jon Ralston says it sagged from 120,000 to 80,000 there. All this is assuming the FBI doesn’t weigh in. Republican turnout was up 22 percent from 2012 in South Carolina; likewise, it was up in Iowa (54 percent) and New Hampshire (14 percent). Donald Trump has established that there is

a high floor on his support – one-quarter in Iowa and one-third in New Hampshire and South Carolina. That’s enough to give him victories in many-candidate contests. But Trump may also have a relatively low ceiling. So his chances for the nomination are significantly below 100 percent. This will be tested in the Southern contests on Super Tuesday (March 1), the Michigan primary (March 8) and the winner-take-all (or winnertake-nearly-all) primaries in Florida, Ohio and Illinois March 15. Marco Rubio rebounded from a poor New Hampshire finish to take second place in South Carolina. He is clearly the best-positioned challenger. He stands to inherit most of Jeb Bush’s supporters, and he is widely acceptable to almost all segments of the Republican electorate. Evangelical Christians accounted for 72 percent of South Carolina Republican voters. Among them Trump got 33 percent. Only 27 percent of the evangelical vote went to Ted Cruz, who has pitched his well-organized campaign specifically to evangelicals. Delegate math hurts Cruz as well. He can win some delegates in proportional-representation Southern states.

But he will have rough going in winner-take-all Northern states and Florida. Rubio beat Trump among college graduates and ran a strong second among voters under 45, those with high incomes and those calling themselves “somewhat conservative” or “moderate.” He got a solid 22 percent among evangelicals, only five points behind Cruz. If he can pick up Bush votes and sideline John Kasich, he has the potential to break through Trump’s floor and perhaps surpass whatever turns out to be Trump’s ceiling. Trump is right that Rubio won’t inherit all the dropouts’ support. But it looks like a three-way TrumpRubio-Cruz race right now, with Cruz the most at risk of dropping by the wayside. So far only 1.2 million Republicans and 500,000 Democrats have voted in a nation of 323 million. But the shape, if not the results, of both parties’ nomination races have been vividly clarified.

Bucket-mouth brute BY JIMMY REED Columnist

Marines visit students Marine Corps representatives from the Armed Forces Career Center in Corinth met with students at Tishomingo County High School on Tuesday, Feb. 16, to educate them on how to become a Marine. In addition to invaluable information and advice, the Marines also allowed students to shoot in the 18-wheeler of marksmanship which is what Marines use for target accuracy so they don’t waste ammunition.

Ophelia O’Dell owned a cattle ranch near Dad’s Mississippi Delta Farm. Known by all as Miz O, she was as ill-tempered as she was ugly. With one crabby finger, she’d slide her spectacles down her nose, knit her eyebrows, stab folks clean through with stiletto, steel-gray eyes, squinch up her cheeks, and purse her lips, as if the person she stared at stank. She was fullback big, stingier than Scrooge, and richer than Croesus, having inherited half the county when her husband gave up the ghost after quaking in fear of his battleaxe bride for what to him must have seemed an eternity. One day she pulled up in front of Jaybird’s house in her Cadillac, honked the horn, and scowled impatiently while waiting for the old black man, my boyhood best friend and mentor, to come see what she wanted. “Jaybird, my arthritis is acting up and I can’t check on my cows as often as I need to. If you and Junior will check on them once a week, y’all can fish my ponds while you’re out there.” On our first trip to the ranch, I flung one of my favorite lures out into a pond. Instantly the water exploded, and a huge bass tail-walked across the surface. “Git the net, Jaybird! This trophy monster is going on my bedroom wall.” Soon, the bass began to tire, and Jaybird waded out to net him. Suddenly, he rocketed clear of the surface, glared at us, and

flung the lure. On our next trip, I was determined to catch that big, bad, bucketmouth brute. Miz O and her daughter Jasmine, a churlish, corpulent clone of her dam, were picnicking under a shade tree. We asked to use a boat she kept in the pond. “Sho’,” she said, “and while you’re out there, fetch my pole. I think a turtle drug it off. We got tard of fishin’, so we stuck our poles in the mud.” Jaybird paddled out, and I grabbed the pole. Snickering at her primitive tackle, I thought … a turtle is all she’d ever catch with this twentyfoot cane, forty-pound line, and an apple-sized bobber. Hand over hand, I pulled until the pole purloiner broke the surface. My blood froze — instead of a turtle, I was looking dead in the eyes of the big, bad, bucket-mouth brute. Jaybird swooped the net under him. “Got you now, you ole moss-backed monster,” I whooped. “On the wall you’re a-goin’.” When I showed him to Miz O and commented on what a beautiful mount he’d be on my wall, she belched, threw a chicken bone in the pond, and said, “Dress him.” “Surely you aren’t gonna eat this trophy!” I gasped. “My pond, my pole, my fish — gonna be my supper,” she snarled. At least she gave me his head. From my bedroom wall, it shoots me a mean stare every day, putting me in mind of Miz O. But, at least I finally caught that big, bad, bucket-mouth brute.

The county currently has five State Aid projects in the design, construction or closeout phase. Pending projects include a $550,000 re-seal and re-stripe on several roads, including 100, 156 and 400, as well as a pipe replacement. An $800,000 grade, drain and base project on Road 200 will improve the road to the Tishomingo County line. From 2000 to 2015, about $9.9 million from State Aid was spent on eligible roads in the county. The board also reviewed bridge inspection reports

on some of those rated most critical. Fourth District Supervisor Steve Glidewell hopes to see a bridge on County Road 510 become a priority project. He said bus traffic has been diverted from there for several months. The bridge is rated 22.2 on the 100 point scale of bridge inspections. “There’s a lot that goes into that 100 point rating,” said Kyle Strong, who handles bridge assessments for Cook Coggin. “You can actually have a bridge where the bridge is totally gone, you have two approaches, and still have a rating up to 35.

JACKSON — Mississippi legislators this year won’t attempt to redesign the last state flag that features the Confederate battle emblem because leaders say they can’t find a majority to remove the symbol from the 122-year-old banner. Tuesday was the deadline for legislative committees to act on general bills, and flag proposals are among

hundreds of measures that died without being brought up for debate. Some bills proposed redesigning the flag to remove the rebel cross, while others would have stripped state money from colleges and local governments that refuse to fly the current banner. One bill o ered separate-but-equal flags, keeping the current one and having a second with a magnolia tree.

historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private e orts to identify, evaluate and protect America’s historic and archeological resources. “National Register listing is primarily an honorary designation,” said Fisher, who is also the FUMC Historian. “The program evaluates significant buildings, structures, sited, objects and districts according to its criteria.” The National Register also provides information about historic resources which can be used to rehabilitate or enhance properties and provide

information to agencies about the site for promotion as tourist stops. Each year the chapel committee tries to do at least one structural improvement to the building and one cosmetic change or aesthetic enhancement. Over the years, a number of improvements to Fillmore Street Chapel have been financed by the chapel committee, members of FUMC and other interested individuals, according to Fisher. Fillmore Street Chapel joins a local list of properties with historic designation such as the Coliseum Civic Center, Verandah/ Curlee House, Jacinto Courthouse, Fort Robinette, National Cemetery, Alcorn County Courthouse and Corinth Depot.

Company requires guns for employees ATLANTA — The owner of a Georgia-based insurance firm is requiring all of his employees to get permits to carry concealed weapons and providing each of them with a handgun. Lance Toland of Lance Toland Associates said Tuesday that the slaying of his uncle several years ago influenced his decision to implement the policy for the 10 women and two men who work in the company’s three offices. None of the employees objected to the policy, Toland said. “I said, ‘We’re all going to get firearms,’ and it was a unanimous, 100-percent participation, no dissenters whatsoever,â€? Toland said. “It’s about protection, No. 1, but it’s really about us as citizens of this great country enjoying and using our right to bear arms.â€? Toland is a pilot, and his business provides aircraft insurance riskmanagement services with offices in the Georgia cities of Griffin and Chamblee, and on St. Simons Island. Â

Powerball dropped idea for better odds IOWA CITY, Iowa — The group that runs the Powerball lottery game approved, then abandoned, changes that would have given ticket buyers more bang for their two bucks than the redesign recently implemented, The Associated Press has learned. Powerball managers changed the game’s odds in October to build bigger jackpots and revive lagging player interest. Jackpots became far harder to win, but smaller cash prizes are easier to attain. The strategy quickly paid massive dividends for state lotteries, leading

to soaring ticket sales for what grew to a record $1.6 billion jackpot last month. But internal documents obtained by The AP show a different Powerball overhaul initially was planned that would have triggered larger jackpots while also providing players with more value. The group that runs Powerball, the Multi-State Lottery Association, voted for the plan in September 2014 and planned to roll it out in April 2015. But the group later shelved the concept amid concerns that it was too complicated and replaced it with the more straightforward changes in October. Compared to the current game, the abandoned proposal would have given players better odds to win the jackpot (1 in 286 million, instead of 292 million) and $1 million prizes (1 in 9.2 million, instead of 11.7 million).

Polygamous leaders charged in scheme SALT LAKE CITY — Several top leaders from Warren Jeffs’ polygamous sect were arrested Tuesday on federal accusations of food stamp fraud and money laundering — marking one of the biggest blows to the group in years. Prosecutors say the sect based on the UtahArizona border diverted funds from Utah’s nutrition assistance program for inappropriate use by its leaders. A total of 11 people were charged in the scheme, including Lyle Jeffs and Seth Jeffs, top-ranking leaders of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and brothers of imprisoned sect leader Warren Jeffs. Warren Jeffs is serving a life sentence in Texas for sexually assaulting his 12- and

Woman found guilty of cutting out baby BOULDER, Colo. — A Colorado woman who prosecutors said was obsessed with having a baby and concocted elaborate lies to convince those close to her that she was pregnant was convicted Tuesday of cutting a nearly 8-month-old fetus from a stranger’s womb. The case against Dynel Lane, 36, who lured Michelle Wilkins to her home with a Craigslist ad for maternity clothes, attracted international attention and reignited a national debate over the legal rights of fetuses. Jurors convicted Lane of attempted firstdegree murder, assault and unlawful termination of a pregnancy in the March 2015 attack on Michelle Wilkins. Prosecutors say they were not able to charge her with murder in the death of the unborn girl because a coroner found no evidence the fetus lived outside the womb. Wilkins, 27, said she thought of the child she had planned to name Aurora as she sat in the courtroom, clasping the hand of her father, Mark Wilkins. The verdict “felt like a triumph for justice, for Aurora, for myself and the community,� Wilkins said, who was composed in court but had to pause to gather herself several times while talking to reporters.

Senate transparency chairman bans tech JACKSON — The chairman of a Mississippi Senate committee on government transparency is telling the public not to use cellphones or other electronic devices while his committee meets. Tuesday was the first big deadline of the 2016 legislative session, with House and Senate committees scrambling to consider general bills filed in their own chamber. Meetings were packed with lobbyists, journalists and spectators from the general public. The Senate Accountability, Efficiency and Transparency Committee had a standing-room-only crowd as it met to discuss several bills, including one to change the Jackson airport board. Committee Chairman John Polk, R-Hattiesburg, announced at the outset that people could not use electronic devices or stand too close to senators during the meeting. Senators were seated at a large table, and the Senate sergeant at arms, Rick Hux, told spectators they couldn’t stand along one of the walls behind the table. Â

Officer wrecks while escorting motorcade GRENADA — A Grenada reserve officer is in critical condition after he was involved in a wreck while escorting the motorcade of a fallen agent. Police Chief Garrett Hartley said Monday that Kenny Engle is currently at a hospital in the intensive care unit. He was escorting the motorcade of fallen Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Agent Lee Tartt. Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Cpl. Tony Dunn says the incident occurred Saturday. Dunn says Engle was blocking traffic on his police-issued motorcycle when he hit the back of a stationary vehicle. He was thrown from the motorcycle and was airlifted to the hospital. The driver of the vehicle was also transported to a hospital. The Clarion-Ledger reports that a GoFundMe

page has been set up to help cover Engle’s medical expenses. Â

Grand jury indicts 16 as habitual offenders BILOXI — A Harrison County grand jury has indicted 16 criminal defendants as habitual offenders and decided 13 qualify for prosecution with enhanced penalties. The Sun Herald reports the recommendations were listed in the final report for the August term in the Second Judicial District in Harrison County Circuit Court. The grand jury considered 305 cases, returned 213 true bills and recommended defendants facing a third felony qualify for a dayfor-day prison term if convicted. Jurors also recommended defendants charged with certain crimes face a double sentence or other enhanced penalties. Using a firearm while committing a crime, for instance, and selling drugs near a school or public park are among crimes that qualify for enhanced penalties under state laws.

Probe into racist graffiti continues HATTIESBURG — University of Southern Mississippi police officials say an investigation is ongoing into who wrote a racist note on a Cook Library bathroom stall sometime over the weekend of Feb. 12-14. The Hattiesburg American reports University Police Chief Bob Hopkins did not reveal the contents of the note, but said workers from the physical plant had removed it from the wall.

Walk away for more pay Quitting your job may not be easy, but it’s usually a good thing for the economy. That’s because most Americans quit to take a better position with higher pay. In December, more than 3 million Americans took the plunge and quit their jobs. That was the most in nine years. The number suggests the job market is healthy because most employees cling to their jobs in downturns. Quits were at half their current level right after the Great Recession ended. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen has said she closely watches quits because when they increase, they also signal another important trend:

higher wages. When more workers quit, it forces companies to raise salaries for their existing employees to keep them from jumping ship. And when the unemployment rate is low, as it is now at 4.9 percent, these trends can intensify. Companies have a harder time filling jobs with unemployed people, so they offer higher pay to those who already have jobs to entice them to quit. There are signs that average hourly pay is picking up. It rose 2.5 percent in January compared with 12 months earlier. That’s up from the tepid 2 percent pace that existed for most of the past six years.

MARKET SUMMARY G

Remodeling boost

Eye on housing

Lowe’s delivers its latest quarterly results today. The home-improvement retailer is expected to report that its earnings and revenue increased in the fourth quarter versus a year earlier. That would echo the company’s performance in the previous three quarters. Lowe’s has benefited from the ongoing housing market recovery as more homeowners spend money on sprucing up their homes or taking on remodeling projects.

Economists predict that sales of new U.S. homes slowed last month. The Commerce Department is expected to report today that the pace of new home sales reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 521,000 in January. That would represent a modest decline from December’s pace, when home sales surged to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 544,000 homes, the strongest pace in 10 months.

Start transplants now if growing heirlooms There can be a lot of confusion surrounding heirloom tomatoes. For one, they don’t look like the run-of-the-mill mega-mart tomatoes all lined up in a row, kind of like little Stepford tomatoes. Heirloom tomatoes are generally lumpy and bumpy, they split and crack easily, and they can be pretty temperamental. But those who successfully grow them will swear that the reward is in heirloom tomatoes’ increased taste and flavor. So what makes an heirloom tomato an heirloom? There’s really a couple of criteria that have to be met. First, the tomato has to be open pollinated. This means that if you collect and save seed from a ripe tomato, when you plant it and grow it, the resulting plant will produce very similar fruit crop after crop. Second, we can call a tomato an heirloom if it’s been in the market for a certain length of time. Hard-core heirloom tomato growers say the variety should be at least 25 years old. I’m of the opinion that age doesn’t matter when it comes to heirloom tomatoes, as long as the variety is open pollinated. Another school of thought concerns antiques. We’re all aware of antiques like furniture and quilts that get passed down through families and are called heirlooms. Tomatoes, or any vegetable, get the name heirloom by having their seeds collected by families and passed down to future generations. I love using the Nebraska

It’s that time of year when gardeners across the state start planning their vegetable gardens. After I wrote Gary last week about Bachman the heirloom tomato Cherokee Southern being Gardening Purple chosen as a Mississippi Medallion winner, I’ve dreamed about the heirloom tomatoes destined to become my tasty chili and spaghetti sauce next winter. Now I know you’re probably thinking, “Gary has gone crazy,” because it’s nowhere near time to plant tomatoes. And, of course, you’re right, but I need to prepare now because six weeks from now will be a different story. You see, I don’t rely only on the selections of transplants garden centers will have on their racks in early April. To get the heirloom varieties of tomatoes my wife and I like – well, mostly the varieties my wife likes – I have to start my own seeds. The heirloom varieties I’m growing this spring are the aforementioned Cherokee Purple, along with Black Sea, Black Ethiopian, Homestead, a passalong paste tomato and another pass-along orange variety. I bet most of you have never heard of some of these varieties or seen them as transplants. And that’s why I start my own plants. I scour the catalogs and web sites looking for that perfect heirloom tomato.

Late winter is the time to start growing tomatoes from seed (above) if you like to use your own transplants in summer gardens. Heirloom tomatoes, such as this Black Sea variety (left), are generally lumpy and bumpy, and they split and crack easily, but their reward is in increased taste and flavor.

Wedding tomato as an example. Tomatoes are also called “love apples,” and the story goes that seeds from this tomato were saved and given to young cou-

ples. As they started their new lives, they could grow these as a crop to help start their farms. So if you want to grow your own plants, there’s still plenty

of time to start transplants this year. Seed selection will be limited in the seed racks, so I recommend you take the time to look through seed catalogs and online offerings to find the heirloom tomatoes you want to grow this year. Try several varieties to see which do well in your garden.

Edible landscaping can yield color, offer alternative to grass BY DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press

Why bother mowing thirsty lawns when you can grow edibles? Replace those sorry-looking patches of grass around trees, pathways and slopes with mint, thyme, strawberries, and a host of attractive and practical fruits, vegetables and herbs. “Turf is sort of the lowest common denominator in ground covers,” said Weston Miller, a horticulturist with the Oregon State University Extension Service in Portland. “It takes more work, specialized timing and tools. The advantage with edibles is that they provide more (wildlife) habitat and they also look good.” Recommended food plants for lawns, slopes and problem areas include:

viola, calendula, chives, nasturtiums and ferns. “I’ll add flowers to a dull-looking salad to add color,” Ferree said. “Or sometimes I just eat flowers right out of the garden.” ■ Greens. “Highly recommended. Fast and easy to grow,” Miller said. “They also have a long harvest period. Rainbow chard is a great ornamental.”

Shrubs ■ Berries, including currants, raspberries and blueberries. “Use a raspberry fruiting shrub as a hedge,” Ferree said.

Trees Fruit over ornamentals. “A hickory tree makes a great large shade tree while also providing delicious nuts,” Ferree said. “Instead of a springblooming tree like a redbud, consider an apple or

Ground Cover Herbs. “You get more for your money with perennial herbs over turf,” said Rhonda Ferree, a horticulturist with University of Illinois Extension. “Herbs don’t have a lot of pest problems, and make for a good alternative.” ■ Edible flowers like

“Hops, grapes, edible passion flowers, cucumbers or pole beans work well as vines.” ■ Roses. “Rose bushes are beautiful and hold soil well on a slope,” Ferree said. “Wild roses develop hips with a lot of Vitamin C that often are used in teas and for making preserves.”

Racist language draws physical reaction from offended friend D E A R ABBY: A foreign friend used the “n” word while commenting about an employee at Abigail a hotel we Van Buren were staying in. After Dear Abby he said it a second time, I slapped him and told him that word was never acceptable, regardless of the reason. I feel bad about hitting him, but entirely justified in motive and intent. I really can’t think of another, more effective way of registering how offended I am in a situation like this. Should I apologize? Should it be a qualified apology? I tried to explain the complex racial history of the U.S. and why the word was so hurtful, but he seemed disinclined to understand. What is the right way to react in such a situation? -- ANONYMOUS IN THE USA DEAR ANONYMOUS: You should not have let the first remark go without speaking up. The right way to respond to the

person’s racist comment would have been to say that it offended you and you would prefer not to hear that kind of language from him again. Physical violence is not the correct way to get a point across. If you must associate with this person, apologize for flying off the handle. Otherwise, avoid him. DEAR ABBY: I’m in love with two men. My husband, “Victor,” and I have been together for nine years and were married last year. The other man in my life, “Wade,” was my boss, and we’ve been seeing each other for two years. They are polar opposites and make me happy in different ways. I was engaged and planning my wedding when Wade and I started our relationship. I chose to marry Victor for emotional stability and because we had built a life together. I can’t imagine a life without him. At the same time, I can’t imagine not being with Wade. If I stop seeing Wade, I know I won’t be happy and he’ll always be on my mind. I will always wonder about what could have been. If I divorce my husband,

I’ll break his heart, and it won’t be easy. Last week Wade demanded that I decide between him and my husband. He wants an exclusive relationship with me. I’m in a panic because I can’t decide, but I know I will lose Wade if I don’t do it soon. I need advice because I don’t know which way to go. -- STUCK AT A CROSSROADS IN FLORIDA DEAR STUCK: You chose to marry Victor because you wanted emotional stability, and you had built a life together. Obviously, that isn’t enough for you, or you wouldn’t be cheating with Wade. If what you really want is a marriage filled with passion, tumult and the possibility of infidelity, by all means choose your former boss. That way, you won’t be bored, and Victor will then be free to find a loving, faithful wife who appreciates what he has to offer. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). An experiment isn’t just something you do; it’s also something you are. If you’re lucky, what you try will please you. But either way, your willingness to commit to uncertainty can only result in greater self-knowledge. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You refuse to let anyone else define you and you certainly won’t be limited by your selfdefinition, either. That’s just another opinion (even if it happens to be yours). In each moment you decide whom to be. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know that being able to grasp the psychology of another person is absolutely necessary if you’re to get that person’s quality attention and keep it for any amount of time. This will be your main study of the day. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Stifling your energies can cause illness and sadness. Express yourself! Get the frustration out of your system, but also let all that joy, curiosity and excitement take form.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Complaining is easy -- all you have to do is point a finger and state what’s not working. Anyone can do that! You’ll differentiate yourself by making the more difficult choice to help, cooperate and make a change. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your habits aren’t you; they are just routines you’ve learned and repeated, routines that can be dropped, changed or replaced. You’re already thinking of dropping a habit you once mistook for your destiny. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sure, you’re capable of doing more -- and so are most humans. We often don’t test the theory, though, until we’re pushed. That’s why an ambitious (or aggressive) Capricorn friend is invaluable now. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you tell them exactly what to do, most of the people around you now will take the time to do it. But to you, love is not having to tell them. The one who moves on his or her own initiative has your heart!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The competition is on. It’s not official; nor is it organized. Perhaps the others involved don’t even realize they are in the game! Still, this is happening. Awareness is your winner’s advantage. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The crisis of faith or bout of skepticism you work your way through this morning will be completely gone in the afternoon light. Your goals are obtainable, your wishes favored for coming true. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Relax. You needn’t worry about what value you are adding to the situation. Everyone else is way beyond that now. They know that your value is inherent, and you need to start believing that, too. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re so observant and clever now that you could prove any point you want to make: true, worthy, accurate or not. Before you go to any trouble, make sure your stance is worth getting behind.

Hamlin wins closest Daytona 500 since electronic scoring came into use; first 500 win for Toyota

Denny Hamlin, in the No. 11 Toyota, beat Martin Truex Jr.’s No. 78 to the finish line in the Daytona 500 by .01 seconds.

closest Daytona 500 finish since electronic scoring came into use. In the closing laps, it appeared that a decision to take four tires on his last pit stop had doomed Hamlin, as his challengers, including Truex, Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth, had taken only two, and thereby taken a lead that appeared to be insurmountable. But on the final lap, Hamlin, running fourth, abandoned the faster low line, moved over a lane and used a drafting boost from Kevin Harvick to make a run on Kenseth, who led 40 of the final 41 laps. As Hamlin closed in on Kenseth, Kenseth moved high to block him, but Hamlin dove low, in between Kenseth and Truex, making slight contact with Kenseth. As Kenseth slid back through the field, Hamlin and Truex door-banged their way to the finish line, with Hamlin surging ahead at the last second to get the victory. Hamlin’s teammates Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards both finished in the top 5, with Busch in third and Edwards, in a damaged car, fifth. Harvick was fourth. For Hamlin, who also won last week’s Sprint Unlimited at Daytona, his win was the 27th of his career, his first Daytona 500, and the first Daytona 500 for his manufacturer, Toyota. “It’s the pinnacle of my career, for sure,” Hamlin said. The win was also the first in Cup for Hamlin’s crew chief, Mike Wheeler, who took over the team in the off-season. “Seeing Denny say it’s his biggest race, biggest thing he’s got, makes me happy,” Wheeler said. “I’m a small part of this. Racing has a lot to do with the driver, the actual car, people that build Hamlin called his Daytona that car, with the spotter involved. Just 500 victory “the pinnacle really happy to be a small part of that.” of my career.”

It seemed fitting, given that Sunday’s Daytona 500 was the first since a $400 million overhaul of Daytona International Speedway, that the race would play out much like the first one back in 1959, when the track was brand new. In ’59, the race ran caution-free from start to finish and ended with two drivers finishing so close together that it took several days of sorting through photos to determine that Lee Petty had edged Johnny Beauchamp to get the victory. Last Sunday, the 58th running of the 500 was relatively calm for much of the day, with a few spins but without a single multi-car “Big One” crash that seems to occur nearly every time the circuit races at Daytona or its sister track, Talladega Superspeedway. The finish wound up being just like 1959, with Denny Hamlin surging past Martin Truex Jr. to win by a margin of .01 seconds — the

Johnny Sauter’s victory at Daytona earns him Truck Series Chase berth

Sarah Crabill/Getty Images for NASCAR

Truck Series veteran Johnny Sauter raced to victory in last Friday’s NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona International Speedway, earning his 17th career victory and becoming the circuit’s first driver to clinch a berth in the season-ending Chase. The win was also significant in that it was Chevrolet’s first Truck victory at Daytona and it came in Sauter’s first start with GMS Racing. Sauter won at Daytona in 2013, but that was in the No. 98 truck now driven by Rico Abreu.

Johnny Sauter’s victory at Daytona was the 17th of his career, and earns him a berth in the first Truck Series Chase.

The Truck Series race ended under caution with Sauter’s No. 21 Chevrolet in the lead, and he got that lead with a push from rookie Christopher Bell and his No. 4 Toyota. But Bell wound up being the reason for the caution, as he made contact with the No. 17 of Timothy Peters and barrel-rolled down the frontstretch. Bell was uninjured, but was transported to a hospital for observation. That wreck involved 10 drivers, and an earlier incident on Lap 93 swept up 17 of the race’s 32 drivers. Among those avoiding major damage in the two wrecks were top-5 finishers Ryan Truex, Parker Kligerman, Brandon Brown and Tyler Young, who finished second through fifth, respectively. Sauter was quick to praise his new car owner, Maurice Gallagher, and his new crew chief, the veteran Marcus Richmond. “They were telling me how good this stuff was going to be all winter long, and I know how crew chiefs are; they tend to embellish things every once in a while,” Sauter said. “But Marcus was right.” In his Victory Lane interview, Sauter mentioned that it was his first NASCAR win since his father, Jim Sauter, died on Oct. 31, 2014. “For me to get a win without him being here is just extra special, at a place that’s just so hard to win and so prestigious. I can’t emphasize enough how awesome it is to win at Daytona,” Sauter said. “But it’s different when he’s not here.”

Pre-race favorite Junior finishes Daytona 500 in 36th place

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was one of the favorites to win the Daytona 500, but his race ended with 30 laps to go when he spun off Turn Four into the wall. He was credited with 36th place. Earnhardt said his car was fast by itself, but not so good in traffic. “The balance of the car was a big curveball,” he said. “We really didn’t anticipate the balance being that big of a deal. You saw us struggling all day long trying to fix the handle of the car. We were just pushing real bad. Just couldn’t pass, couldn’t be on offense. We started getting it a little bit better there, but just got it too loose.” He said that as the laps wound down, he had no choice but to try some risky moves. “It was time to go,” he said. “We were making some moves on the outside and moving forward and passing some guys. Just got loose trying to do too much at once.”

Elliott drove to victory on Saturday. “Second’s not bad, but kind of sucks at the same time,” he said. Earnhardt, who shares ownership of the No. 88 with his sister, Kelley Earnhardt Miller, and his Cup team owner Rick Hendrick, said seeing Elliott mature as a driver is one of the rewards of team ownership. “I’m proud of Chase,” he said. In his winner’s interview, Elliott seemed to be the same humble driver he’s been since he first started racing. He opened his remarks by apologizing to Bobby Labonte for bumping into him early in the race. “I don’t really know what happened,” Elliott said. “We got stacked up. I got in back of him. I was being pushed. Regardless, if it was my fault, I apologize now. I didn’t get a chance to on TV.” Elliott wasn’t so fortunate in the Daytona 500. After starting from the pole and leading the first three laps, he spun on Lap 20 and slid into the grass in the trioval, damaging the front of his No. 24 Chevrolet. He spent 40 laps in the pits while his crew repaired his car, and wound up 37th at the finish.

At the end of Saturday’s PowerShares QQQ 300 Xfinity Series race at Daytona International Speedway, Joey Logano — who has become one of NASCAR’s best racers on restrictor-plate tracks, as evidenced by his win in the 2015 Daytona 500 — found himself dueling with Chase Elliott, a youngster who had never before won a restrictor-plate race. On the final lap, Logano, driving the No. 22 Team Penske Ford, pushed Elliott’s No. 88 Chevrolet into the lead, figuring that he could leave the more experienced Kasey Kahne in the rear-view mirror and then battle only Elliott for the win. Logano got the first part right, but as the two drivers sped toward the finish line and Logano made his move to pass Elliott on the outside, Elliott made a daring move to the high side to block Logano. The two made contact, with Elliott’s car receiving some damage, but he held on to score the victory. “He blocked it. I got there a little bit late,” Logano said. “And then I got hooked on his right rear, and that’s what killed my momentum. That contact just stopped my car.” But he also said that he didn’t blame Elliott for making the move he did. “I had no problem with it,” Logano said. “That’s what I expect. I’m a racer. I expect him to make the move so I don’t win. He did exactly what he’s supposed to do, the same thing I would do, not expecting any repercussions back. That’s racing. That’s what the fans pay money to come see.” His only regret was that he ran his string of secondplace finishes at Daytona to three, counting the Sprint Unlimited, where he finished second to Denny Hamlin, and the Can-Am Duel, where he was second to Dale Earnhardt Jr., who co-owns the No. 88 that

DRIVER STANDINGS 1. Denny Hamlin, 45

Mary Lou Hamlin

Most drivers say they’ve dreamed since they were youngsters of winning a race like the Daytona 500. Denny Hamlin has proof of that. After the race, Hamlin’s mother, Mary Lou Hamlin, posted on Twitter something he had written years ago about that very thing. “If I remember right, it was second grade, so I’m probably 7 years old,” Hamlin said. “I said I wanted to win it. I think if you look at the date, it’s like February [17th], 1998. I missed it by a little bit on the date. “I didn’t know Mike Wheeler back then, but Kerry Barton was my best friend, so he was going to be my crew chief. Ernie Elliott was going to change my tires and I wanted my car to look just like Bill Elliott’s.” Hamlin also wrote that he would be earning $1 million for his victory. How much he actually earns this year won’t be known, as NASCAR, as of this year, has stopped publishing the payouts for races.

Nearly every year in the Daytona 500, an underdog driver and team manage to score a remarkably good finish. In 2015 it was Casey Mears, who finished sixth. In 2014, it was Landon Cassill, finishing 12th in Joe Falk’s underfunded No. 40. This year, the underdog who shined was Regan Smith, who drove Tommy Baldwin’s No. 7 Chevrolet to an eighth-place finish despite steam spewing from his radiator overflow pipe in the closing laps. “It was a good, smooth day for us,” said Smith, who didn’t get the call to drive for Baldwin until a few weeks before the start of the season. “All the guys at Tommy Baldwin Racing gave me probably one of the better-handling cars I’ve ever had here. Once it came down to it in the end, we were able to get a little bit of position. We got four tires and made the most of an opportunity on that last pit stop, and it came to life.” Smith went on to explain that it takes a lot for a team with relatively limited resources to have a fast car at Daytona. “I’m proud of this team,” he said. “It’s a small team. We work hard. Tommy pours everything he’s got into this race team.” Smith, who escaped an early spin without damaging his car, said he didn’t baby his car at the end, despite the steam. “At Daytona, let it blow up if it’s going to,” he said. “The [Earnhardt Childress Racing] engine shop builds a great motor. I put it through its paces today, and there’s probably not any water in it.”

Chase Elliott battled Joey Logano to victory in the PowerShares QQQ 300 at Daytona International Speedway.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. said his No. 88 Chevrolet was fast by itself, but struggled in Daytona 500 traffic.

Warriors, Lions finally pull away BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

With the combined state championship tote board reading 7-0, it’s not often the Corinth and Biggersville boys have to follow suite with their respective girls’ programs. They did Tuesday, and lived to tell about it. The Corinth Warriors and Biggersville Lions advanced to the second round of the state basketball playoffs, both pulling away in the fourth quarter. After scoring just 33 points through three in a defensive battle, the Warriors tallied 29 in the fourth to beat Rosa Fort 62-49 in Class 4A play. Corinth (25-2) will host either Raymond or Louisville on Saturday, with the winner

earning a berth in Jackson. That first-round game was postponed until tonight due to weather. • Biggersville trailed Hickory Flat 25-22 after three. Devonte Spears paced a 32-point second half with 14 digits as the Lions finally dispatched of the Rebels 54-47 in Class 1A play. The Lions (15-12) will travel to Shaw (20-8) on Saturday. The Hawks clipped the Tremont Eagles 92-61 in another Tuesday contest. Spears scored 12 of his team-high 22 in the fourth as the Lions expanded on a 3833 lead after three. While the Lions compiled six of their 11 misses from the free throw line in the fourth, Spears was

6-of-7 as Biggersville High School held on in the mustwin contest. Jaylon Powell added 15 points for the Lions, including both of BHS’ 3-pointers. Randtail Isom led Hickory Flat with a game-high 23. • After eight ties and 12 lead changes through three-plus quarters, Corinth finally put together a run and began to pull away. The spark came from Antares Gwyn, but in an unconventional way. Tied 37-37 with 6:56 remaining, Gwyn began a 7-0 Corinth run with a 3-pointer. Corinth had missed all 10 attempts prior, and while Gwyn is among the all-time leaders in CHS in scoring, it was just

his fifth of the season. Gwyn scored seven in an overall 12-2 run, had three steals and drew a charge as Corinth went from being down 37-35 with 7:13 remaining to up 47-39 with 4:41 left in someones season. Gwyn scored a game-high 19 points and pulled down 15 rebounds to go along with five steals. It was the senior’s 18th double-double in 26 outings. “Big players step up in big moments and he did that on both ends of the floor,” said CHS Head Coach Keith Greene. “He’s a pretty good player, so that doesn’t surprise me.” Armad Wicks scored eight Please see AWAY | 13

Aggies, AC clubs drop playoff openers BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

North Panola stole Kossuth’s glass slipper. The Cougars trailed all night long before posting a 65-63 win in the opening round of the Class 3A Boys’ Basketball Playoffs on Tuesday. Kossuth, which saw its

season end at 16-15, had become the Cinderella story after claiming its first division tournament title in 16 years. The Aggies won three games in four days in the tournament after winning just one regular-season game against its four league foes. North Panola (11-14) now moves into second-round

play on Saturday. After finishing fourth in Division 2-3A, the lesser known school in Panola County would qualify for the eightteam State Tournament in Jackson with a win at either North Pontotoc or Humphreys County — that game was postponed until tonight — this weekend.

Kossuth jumped out to a 20-11 lead after one and carried a 36-27 lead into the break. The Aggies managed just nine points in the third, but still led 45-40 with eight minutes remaining in the must-win contest. Please see DROP | 13

Moody scores 29 as Ole Miss beats Missouri Associated Press

OXFORD — Mississippi guard Stefan Moody, after being slowed for part of the season with a groin injury, has apparently regained the ability to shift into high gear. That same ability apparently applies to the Rebels, who rallied for an 85-76 win over Missouri Tuesday night. Moody had 29 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, three steals and sparked a decisive 10-0 run as Ole Miss (18-10, 8-7 Southeastern Conference) snapped a 54-54 tie midway through the second half. Moody had

three baskets and a behindthe-back assist for a Tomasz Gielo layup to highlight the surge. Sebastian Saiz had 15 points and 14 rebounds and Gielo scored 12 points as Ole Miss won for the third time in four games. “The clock is ticking on us. It’s not November. We’ve got to win and keep winning,” Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy said. “This wasn’t pretty but we’re going to take it and winning three of four is going in the right direction.” Missouri (10-18, 3-12) had four players score in double figures led by Na-

mon Wright with 20 points. Tramaine Isabell scored 17 points with Kevin Puryear and K.J. Walton adding 11 apiece for the Tigers. “I’m proud of how we fought and competed,” Missouri coach Kim Anderson said. “I thought Moody just took the game over. It’s not just his ability to score, but his ability to get the ball to people. It’s 54-54 and before you know it, you’re down 10.” The loss was the 25th consecutive on the road for Tigers, who challenged the streak until fading in the final 10 minutes. The lead changed hands 11 times,

was tied on seven occasions and Missouri led by as many as four points on three different occasions. After the decisive Moodyled outburst, Ole Miss built its biggest lead, 80-64 on a jumper by Rasheed Brooks with 2:59 left. Missouri never got closer than seven points in the final 10 minutes. Ole Miss finished 26 of 65 (40 percent) from the field, but managed a clear edge at the free throw line, hitting 26 of 40 compared to Missouri’s 12 of 19.

Poythress provides remedy as No. 16 Kentucky pulls away from Alabama Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Alex Poythress was hungry to play after a two-week absence because of a right knee injury. Kentucky needed a healthy body to fill a manpower void. Poythress’ return ended up better than expected and provided a needed remedy for the 16th-ranked Wildcats in a 7853 rout of Alabama on Tuesday night. Sidelined for five games with the injury, the senior forward

came off the bench to score 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting in 17 minutes. Poythress complemented Jamal Murray’s 23 points, while Tyler Ulis added 19 points and 10 assists as Kentucky pulled away from the Crimson Tide. Not bad for Poythress’ second day back on the job. “It felt good to be out there again,” said Poythress, who returned to practice on Monday. “I missed basketball. I wasn’t nervous and there was no point

in being nervous. It’s just basketball.” Poythress helped the Wildcats (21-7, 11-4 Southeastern Conference) bounce back from Saturday’s 79-77 overtime loss at Texas A&M and provide some depth for a Kentucky squad that played without starting forward Derek Willis, who sprained his right ankle against the Aggies. Willis sat on the bench with a boot on his foot, and Kentucky coach John Calipari gave no timetable on his return.

Poythress’ comeback arrived right on time. “He could have stayed out a couple of more days,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said of Poythress. “He knew the team needed him.” Isaiah Briscoe scored 10 points and Marcus Lee grabbed 12 rebounds for the Wildcats, who limited the Crimson Tide (16-11, 7-8) to 35 percent shooting and handed them a second straight loss. Kentucky outscored Alabama 40-22 inside,

outrebounded the Crimson Tide 41-29 and made 22 of 28 free throws. Retin Obasohan made 9 of 13 shots to score 29 points for the Crimson Tide, who struggled to find offense besides their senior guard. Reserves Justin Coleman and Brandon Austin had eight and six points, respectively, for Alabama, which fell steadily behind in the second half. “Overall, we just didn’t have Please see KENTUCKY | 13

North Panola tied the game at 60, then closed on a 5-3 run to advance. Demetrick Porter scored all 12 of his points in the final quarter, including a pair of free throws that supplied the visitors with their 64th and 65th points. Kennedy Dye paced for Aggies in double figures with 16 points. Jamarcus Jones tallied a game-high 23 for North Panola.

Central falls at Holly Springs Acorn Central saw both of its basketball seasons close with road losses in the opening round of the Class 3A Basketball Playoffs. With Central drawing Holly Springs in both contests, the games were both played on Tuesday. The Lady Hawks avenged an earlier 64-51 loss to the Lady Bears in the Belmont Shootout, with a 77-54 decision in the must-win contest. The Lady Bears ended their season at 19-11. “It was a hard, tough game, but I’m proud of my Lady Bears,” said Head Coach Charlette B. Foster. Central led 18-11 after one, but Starlandria Walton got loose in the second and helped send the host club to the break up 38-31. Walton, who tallied 41 in the Jan. 16 loss, scored 17 in the quarter as the Lady Hawks (20-10) exploded for 27 points. Up 38-31 at the break, Holly put the game away by outscoring the Lady

of his 10 in the fourth quarter, including two driving buckets in the 12-2 run. Corinth’s last field goal came via Wicks at the 1:50 mark as the Warriors began to spread the floor and make Rosa Fort foul. The Warriors went to the line 22 times in the fourth, making 14. Tada Stricken, who added 11 points, was 5-of-6 from the line in the fourth. Gwyn made all three of his tries, finishing 8-of-10. Rosa Fort lead 9-8 after the first. The eightminute period saw one tie and four lead chang-

es. The Lions (15-9) had three four-point leads in the second. Four straight points by Gwyn provided tie number five of the half, before the Fort took a 25-23 lead into the break. A Dee Brown rebound with 1:02 left in the third gave Corinth a 33-30 lead — its biggest to that point. Rosa Fort ended the quarter on a 4-0 run to lead 34-33 after three. Corinth was just 11of-37 through three quarters. Forcing eight turnovers, including five steals, helped the offensive effort. “Our pressure eventually paid off,” said Greene.

the energy or confidence we had in SEC play,” first-year Alabama coach Avery Johnson said after his team’s second straight loss. “We just didn’t have it. This was probably our worst performance in the SEC.” The Wildcats weren’t always sharp but steadily put things together thanks to the floor leadership of Ulis, whose fifth game of at least 10 assists broke a school record shared by three players — most recently John Wall in 2009-10. “I didn’t shoot it as well as I wanted to and I missed a couple of free throws,” said Ulis, who was 5 of 13 from the field but 9 of 11 from the free throw line. “Other than that, I played all right overall.” Isaac Humphries had four points and four rebounds in his first start as Kentucky maintained its one-game conference lead and swept Alabama. The Wildcats shot 46 percent from the field, including 53 percent in the second half.

47-38 and blocked seven shots, including two from Saiz. Missouri was an impressive 12 of 23 (52 percent) from 3-point range and 26 of 58 (45 percent) from the field. The Tigers had 18 turnovers.

Quote of the night When asked where the Rebels were in the conversation for the NCAA Tournament, Kennedy planted his tongue in cheek and demonstrated his dry wit. “We’re not in the conversation. Not yet. Not without winning more games. I’m watching for our highlights of our road win over Auburn on the SEC Network, which I love by the way. We were on at 57 minutes after the hour. We finally came on right after women’s gymnastics warmups and Nick Saban playing on the golf course. So we must not be in the conversation.”

Tip-Ins Ole Miss: The Rebels are 6-1 overall against Missouri, including 3-0 in Oxford. ...Ole Miss leads the SEC in steals at 7.7 per game and had

seven against the Tigers. ...The Rebels have earned berths in the NCAA Tournament or National Invitational Tournament in seven of the past nine seasons. Missouri: Despite

shooting 39 percent from the field this season, the Tigers were 13 of 22 (59 percent) in the opening 13 minutes, highlighted by a 12-0 scoring run. ...Wright’s 20-point performance, including 6

of 7 from 3-point range, was a career best.

Up Next Ole Miss visits Georgia on Saturday. Missouri hosts No. 21 Texas A&M on Saturday.

Girlfriend needs to research cross-dressing a surprise wedding Dear Annie: I’ve been Annie’s have as part of a picnic. seeing a very nice man for My husband and I had more than a year. We are a surprise wedding in the both in our late 50s and Mailbox large backyard of a home divorced. He is affectionate and kind, and I love him quite a lot. He doesn’t have any of the obvious problems — money, drugs or alcohol, but one thing bothers me a lot. He likes to wear women’s thighhigh stockings. He started wearing the stockings near the end of his previous marriage. His ex wouldn’t wear them, so he decided to try them himself and ended up liking them a lot. He says they give him a lot of pleasure and make him feel sexy. He was upfront about it early in our relationship, and I said I didn’t think it would be a problem. He likes wearing them around the house and in public under his pants. He doesn’t want his friends and coworkers to know. He’s not a cross-dresser or anything like that. It’s just the stockings. The problem is, I haven’t been able to accept it as well as I thought I could. I wear the stockings for him, which pleases him a lot, but he still wants to wear them, too. He agreed to put them on only once a week until I adjusted, but now he says he’s getting frustrated. I’m resisting. I’ve told him I don’t see this as very manly behavior.

He says he feels a need to express his feminine side. I don’t want to lose him, but I’m not sure how to deal with this. Can you help me? — Thigh High in Confusion Dear Confusion: If your boyfriend derives sexual satisfaction from wearing women’s stockings, he is a cross-dresser, even though he may not wear the whole ensemble. We are glad he was upfront about it, but you need to educate yourself on the subject, so you can decide how tolerant you can be. Cross-dressing does not mean that your boyfriend is gay (most cross-dressers are not) or that he plans to change his sexual identity (not likely). The stockings may be as far as it ever goes. Check out tri-ess.org for information and support — and please don’t judge the book by its cover. He’s still the man you fell for. Dear Annie: I’d like to weigh in on the letter from “Wondering in Pennsylvania,” who asked how to

we had just purchased. We sent invitations inviting everyone to a picnic, claiming that we were recently married. The invitations were artist-drawn, and we specified that the recipients’ presence was all that was required, which took everyone off the hook of bringing gifts or food. We hired a caterer, parking attendants, a cleanup crew and an officiant, and did all of the decorating ourselves. It was a huge hit, and people still mention how lovely it was. Even my mother didn’t know there was going to be an actual wedding until the last minute. That was 29 years ago. Tell “Wondering” that it can be done. — A. Dear A.: We like that you handled all of the details on your own and didn’t expect the guests to bring their own food. Bravo.
