Info, tips sought in theft of excavator

Court square trees set for a trim BY JEBB JOHNSTON

The trees of court square are due for some trimming and pruning after some recent concerns about falling limbs. A specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service recently assessed the trees and submitted a report to Alcorn County. The Board of Supervisors is following the report’s recommendation to hire a certified arborist who is licensed, bonded and insured to perform the prescribed trimming. The board this week approved advertising for the work. Local Extension Agent Patrick Poindexter accompanied the specialist on the tree examination. “We did a complete walkaround, mainly looking at the older oak trees, because those are the ones that seem to be presenting some of the issues with dead or dying limbs that are falling out,” he said. The report concludes that the trees are basically healthy but need some removal of dead limbs. “Some of them are getting pretty old, especially that one on the southeast corner,” said Poindexter. “Anytime you’re dealing with older trees like that, maintenance is very important, and getting them trimmed correctly is very im-

Residents are being asked to be on the lookout for a backhoe stolen from a local water association. The Bobcat E42 Excavator was taken, along with a truck and trailer, from the Alcorn Water Association’s well at Glen during the early morning hours on Monday. Alcorn County Sheriﬀ’s Department Investigator Tommy Hopkins said the thieves tore down a fence to drive away with the equipment. The truck was located around 10:30 a.m. the same morning near the intersection of County Road 100 and Highway 350 after a passerby noticed it abandoned and contacted authorities. The trailer was also recovered around 3 p.m. Monday in Tishomingo County when a landowner on County Road 363 saw it and became suspicious. Hopkins said they believe its possible the suspects may have transferred the Bobcat from the stolen trailer to their own vehicle and someone may have seen them do it. He thinks it’s likely the excavator is still in the area. Anyone who may have information on the theft is urged to call the sheriﬀ’s department office at 662-286-5521. Tips may also be called in to the Crime Stoppers of North Mississippi anonymous tip line at 1-800773-TIPS (8477).

Bryant wants renewed push for lottery MEC president BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said Thursday that he wants legislators to make a latesession push to enact a lottery that might generate tens of millions of dollars a year in revenue. “When you’re looking at some of the challenges that we’re having and you see a revenue bill that would generate somewhere between 50 and 60 million dollars — just an estimate — I think that’s something that needs to be taken seriously by the members of both the House and the Senate,” Bryant told The Associated Press during a brief interview at the Capitol. The Republican governor this week had to make his third round of spending cuts since the budget year started July 1 because tax collections continue to fall short of expectations. Bryant also said he is asking the state Department of Finance and Administration to thoroughly review contracts for goods and services, for more ways to cut costs:. “I think we could capture some real savings in that.” Bryant has been promoting the

“... It may not be just popular with some members, but I think the majority wants to have an opportunity to vote on a state lottery, and we’d certainly look at that with great interest.” Gov. Phil Bryant idea of a lottery for several months. During his State of the State speech in January, he described Mississippi residents driving to Arkansas to buy lottery tickets, particularly when jackpots are large. Mississippi lottery proposals died in the House earlier this month but could be revived in the Senate in the next few weeks. The three-month legislative session is scheduled to end April 2. House Bill 967, which has passed the House and awaits consideration by the Senate, would regulate and set a tax on wagering on daily fantasy sports contests. When the bill was still in the House, a member sought to add a lottery. Republican House Speaker Philip Gunn opposes a lottery but ruled that the lottery amendment was relevant to the bill. The pro-

posal then failed when it came up for a vote. Bryant said he thinks senators could find a way to add a lottery to an existing bill. Then it would return to the House, where some votes would have to flip. “When I was lieutenant governor and president of the Senate, if I had a majority of my members who wanted to vote, I thought it was incumbent upon me to let them have that opportunity to exercise that right,” said Bryant, who served one term as lieutenant governor before starting his current job in 2014. “It may not be just popular with some members, but I think the majority wants to have an opportunity to vote on a state lottery, and we’d certainly look at that with great interest.”

retiring in June Associated Press

JACKSON — The head of the Mississippi Economic Council is retiring in June, and a current staff member has been named interim president and chief executive officer, the organization said Wednesday. Blake Wilson has led the state chamber of commerce for 19 years, and will retire June 16. Before coming to Mississippi, he worked in Delaware and Florida. The interim leader is Scott Waller, who has been with MEC the past 11 years. Waller’s most recent position was executive vice president and chief operating officer. The Shubuta native is a graduate of Mississippi State University. Before going to work at MEC, he worked in journalism for 20 years in Missis-

sippi and South Carolina. He was business editor of The Clarion-Ledger and was owner and publisher of the Madison County Journal. MEC conducts leadership programs and advocates for workforce development. In recent years, it has been urging lawmakers to fund improvements for highways and bridges. William G. Yates III, president and CEO of Yates Companies, is the 2017-18 chairman of MEC. He said in a news release that Wilson “truly embraced and celebrated the spirit that makes Mississippi great.” “We appreciate his innovative programming and use of technology to grow our reach, but also his commitment to MEC’s legacy,” Yates said.

A judge has decided that former Southaven Mayor Greg Davis will be retried four counties away on felony fraud and embezzlement charges. The case was rescheduled to June 19 in Grenada, defense attorney Steve Farese said in an email Thursday to The Associated Press. Davis was convicted of buying a city-owned SUV without approval from aldermen, and of being reimbursed for mileage purchased on a city-issued card. Mississippi’s Court of Appeals reversed Davis’ 2014 conviction, ruling in July that the trial should have been moved out of

DeSoto County Circuit Court because of intense publicity. Farese said shortly afterward that the Gulf Coast would be logical for a retrial, since Davis’ legal matters were big news in both the Memphis and Jackson areas. Grenada County, about 80 miles south of Southaven, is on the edge of the Memphis news media market. Farese also said then that he hoped to reach a settlement with prosecutors. That didn’t happen, he said Thursday. The unanimous appeals court decision looked only at the fact that the trial wasn’t moved out of Hernando.

Today in History Today is Friday, Feb. 24, the 55th day of 2017. There are 310 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 24, 1942, the SS Struma, a charter ship attempting to carry nearly 800 Jewish refugees from Romania to British-mandated Palestine during World War II, sank in the Black Sea off Turkey after it was torpedoed by a Soviet submarine; all but one of the refugees on board perished.

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 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. 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 1938, the first nylon bristle toothbrush, manufactured by DuPont under the name “Dr. West’s Miracle Toothbrush,” went on sale. In 1955, the Cole Porter musical “Silk Stockings” opened at the Imperial Theater on Broadway. 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 1983, a congressional commission released a report condemning the internment of JapaneseAmericans during World War II as a “grave injustice.” In 1987, Fawn Hall, former personal secretary to fired National Security Council aide Oliver L. North, posed for news photographers outside her attorney’s office, calling the attention “a little overwhelming.” In 1992, Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain married Hole lead vocalist Courtney Love in Hawaii. 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.

Oxford OXFORD (AP) — The luxurious, and soon-to-be-opened, Chancellor’s House hotel in Oxford is getting lavish addition to its interior. A Spirio piano, the first new branded product from the renowned Steinway & Sons company in 70 years, was installed in the hotel lobby in early February. The Chancellor’s House is the first hotel in North America featuring the piano. This isn’t your ordinary piano. A musician comes into a Steinway recording studio in New

York City to play on a special piano and all of their motions and notes are monitored using laser technology. “We’re using lasers to capture the hammer travel, so we get the velocity of the hammer,” says Michael Cabe, marketing implementation manager for Steinway. “We can measure a dynamic range which we slice into 1,020 layers from the quietest possible note to the loudest. And we have proportional pedaling, if they’re pushing it down a third of the way or a quarter of the way, that distance will be captured. We can play it back at exactly those spec levels in the Spirio.” To accompany the high-tech player piano, Steinway developed a Spirio app that allows users to select what they want to hear at any given time from a wide library that includes classical, jazz and pop tunes. “In addition to the musicians who come in to record, we have technology that allows us to take historical performances and bring them back from the past,” Cabe said. “For example, we have Glenn Gould playing live on a Steinway. And you can hear it as he played it live in 1960. You can now hear what he sounds like on the piano and not through speakers or a computer.” Other notable historical musicians featured on the app include everyone from jazz legends Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk to the composer and pianist Rachmaninoff. Development of the technology began in 2011, but it wasn’t until last year that it became fully functional. “The folks from the Chancellor’s House got to see Spirio and experienced it in person,” Cabe remembers. “They loved it and tied it in with the function of the space, it’s a perfect fit.”

GED graduates The Alcorn County Regional Correctional Facility recently honored four inmates during a GED graduation ceremony. Taking part in the ceremony were (from left) Sheriff Ben Caldwell and graduates Curtis Baker, Landis Kelley, Frank Webster and Joseph Rosamond. Tutors for the program are lead instructor Myra Byrnes, GED and literacy tutor David Gaddy and math tutor Sam Nuckolls.

the door to discover the bodies also found the sister’s 3-year-old daughter uninjured inside. Kavon D. McVay, 44, was charged with murder, capital murder and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, said Lauderdale County Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun.

Calhoun told a news conference in Meridian, Mississippi, that McVay had a stormy romantic relationship with Tomecca Pickett, 42. “It’s fair to characterize this as a domestic violence incident,” Calhoun said. “They’d had argument earlier in the day.”

Corinth, Miss.

Jane Roe In Memoriam I first met Norma McCorvey some 20 years ago, soon after her Christian conversion. That conversion set her against the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion, and in which she Star was the plaintiﬀ. Operating under the alias Parker “Jane Roe,” McCorvey, 22 Columnist years old and pregnant with a child she didn’t want, represented by two young women attorneys anxious to legalize abortion, sued the state of Texas, where abortion was illegal, and ultimately achieved victory in the U.S. Supreme Court. Subsequently, McCorvey and I found ourselves together on numerous occasions at prolife events and rallies. We shared the same passion to stop abortion, both of us driven by regrets of personal mistakes in the past and a desire to, in the words of the prophet Isaiah, “make crooked places straight.” It was in the spirit of John Newton, repentant British slave trader, who penned the words in his hymn Amazing Grace, “was blind and now I see.” But my experience was personal. I had four abortions before my Christian conversion opened my eyes. McCorvey never had an abortion. Her pregnancy, that she wanted to abort, came to term and she gave birth well before the Roe v. Wade decision was handed down. The nightmare that tormented McCorvey was that her name appeared on the court decision that opened the door to, by current approximate count, 60 million fetuses killed in the womb. She wanted it all blotted out -- the law and her association with it. She wanted to bring those children back to life. That not being possible, she wanted the abortions to stop. I have been speaking on the pro-life circuit for more than 30 years. Countless men and women have come to me and shared their anguish and regret about their abortions, which at the time they thought was a way out of a tough situation. The regrets and the nightmares come from the illusion that there is a way out, that there is some escape valve from personal responsibility in life. Legal abortion provides this deadly illusion that there is a way out. But a clever brain cannot delude a knowing heart. What young Norma McCorvey needed at the age of 22, pregnant with her life in disarray, was someone to step in and help her look into eternity and embrace life and the beauty of motherhood. Instead, she met two ambitious young left-wing attorneys who saw an opportunity to use her and her anguish and confusion to transform the country, build and expand on the “me” culture that had picked up steam in the 1960s, and make the illusory abortion safety valve legally and easily available for all women. But like all self-delusion, this illusion of greater freedom at the expense of the lives of others, just dug the hole deeper for Norma McCorvey, and so it has for our country. The traditional American family, the pillar on which our country has grown and thrived, has fallen into disrepair. For most of the last century, about two-thirds of American households were headed by a married couple. After 1970, just prior to the legalization of abortion, this started to decline dramatically and by 2010 it was down to 45 percent. With collapse of marriage we have seen a dramatic increase in government dependency. The percentage of the federal budget consisting of direct payments to individuals has increased over 130 percent since 1970. Speaking in 2014 at a conference at the Vatican on marriage, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, the former chief rabbi of the United Kingdom said, “Life begins when male and female meet and embrace.” Let’s remember Norma McCorvey and overturn Roe v. Wade, the decision she so regretted having been party to, and build a great nation and society based on love, respect, responsibility and awe for the mystery of life.

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.

Trump and the media demolition derby The traditional media have decided not to take President Trump’s insults lying down. After what may be the strongest -- and to his supporters -- most thrilling takedown of journalists by any president, Editor and Publisher magazine featured this headline: “Newspapers Aim to Ride ‘Trump Bump’ to Reach Readers, Advertisers.” They may hate him, but they’re going to use him: “The Trump administration’s combative view of traditional news media as the ‘opposition party,’ and ‘fake news’ is turning out to be the best hope in 2017 for newspapers struggling to attract more digital readers and advertisers. The New York Times (NYT.N), the Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal and Gannett Co are building on the online readership they gained during the 2016 presidential election by marketing unbiased reporting as a sales strategy.” I laughed at that last line. Unbiased reporting as a sales strategy? It is because some Americans believe the reporting they consume is anything but unbiased that

their trust in media is at an historical low. Americans still trust Congress less, Cal but media Thomas are in there fiercely racColumnist ing lawmakers to rockbottom. If this were a limbo dance, the media trustworthy bar would be so low only an ant could get under it. When CNN’s Jim Acosta addressed the president at last Thursday’s raucous news conference, he accused Trump of damaging the First Amendment by his frequent questioning of the media’s fairness. It is actually the other way around. Most reporters live in a bubble. They spend time with colleagues who share similar secular-progressive views and believe government is best when it is led by liberal Democrats, no matter how many times they fail the people they are supposed to represent. This is the filter through which all ideas are measured and all questions constructed. Some report-

ers believe they have an obligation to hold leaders accountable, and they are right to a point, but they don’t appear to believe anyone should hold them accountable. They think they can say anything and accuse even a president of everything. And when they’re wrong, they hardly ever apologize, unless their lie is so blatant that their bosses force the issue. I can’t remember the last time any journalist apologized to any president for getting facts wrong. Don’t look for that to happen with this president either. The major media seem hungry to destroy him. President Trump is an unconventional president dealing with conventional media. They don’t get it. He does. Trump voters hate an establishment that has done far more for itself than it has for the country. They detest a media that trashes their traditional values, faith and beliefs. Trump is their revenge and they are thrilled to watch the media get what they believe journalists have coming. Few people would deny the right or even the obli-

gation of journalists to be skeptical, but, in too many instances, skepticism has become cynicism. Just think of how the media characterizes all things conservative. Think of it this way: You own a restaurant and customers are telling you they don’t like the food, your prices are too high, your restrooms are dirty and the wait staﬀ is surly. You have two choices: address the complaints or tell your soon-to-be former customers to take their business elsewhere. The media are like the second choice and as ratings and subscriptions sadly show, people are walking their business out the door. I seriously doubt the newspaper campaign will attract new customers. Virtuous people and noble professions usually don’t have to convince others of their virtue and nobility. It is obvious. With much of the media represented at White House press conferences, virtue and nobility are in short supply. (Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@ tribpub.com.)

What’s happening in Sweden As if on cue, riots broke out in a heavily immigrant suburb of Stockholm as soon as the media mocked President Donald Trump for a vague warning about immigration-related problems in Sweden. At a campaign rally over the weekend, Trump issued forth with a mystifyingly ominous statement. “You look,” he declared, “at what’s happening last night in Sweden.” What? Had the president invented a nonexistent terror attack? As it turned out, the reference was to a segment on Sweden he had watched on the Fox News show “Tucker Carlson Tonight” the previous night rather than to any specific event in the Nordic country. The ensuing discussion quickly took on the character of much of the debate in the early Trump years -- a blunderbuss president matched against a snotty and hyperventilating press, with a legitimate issue lurking underneath. By welcoming a historic number of asylum-seekers proportionate to its population, Sweden has indeed embarked on a vast social experiment that wasn’t well thought out and isn’t going very well.

rest in the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby after police made an arrest the Rich other night Lowry u n d e r scored the National problems Review inherent in Sweden’s immigration surge. Sweden’s admirable humanitarianism is outstripping its capacity to absorb newcomers. Nothing if not an earnest and wellmeaning society, Sweden has always accepted more than its share of refugees. Immigration was already at elevated levels before the latest influx into Europe from the Middle East, which prompted Sweden to try to see and raise the reckless open-borders policy of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Sweden welcomed more than 160,000 asylumseekers in 2015, and nearly 40,000 in October of that year alone. For a country of fewer than 10 million, this was almost equal to 2 percent of the population -- in one year. The flow doubled the number of asylumseekers at the height of the

Balkans crisis in 1992. The foreign-born proportion of the Swedish population was 18 percent in 2016, double that of 1990. As of 2015, the most common county of origin for the foreign born was Finland, which makes sense as it is a neighboring Scandinavian country. Next are Iraq and Syria. Predictably, it isn’t easy to integrate people who don’t know the language, aren’t highly skilled and come from a foreign culture. Sweden’s economic polices don’t help. As a report of the Migration Policy Institute put it politely, Sweden is “an interesting case” because “the state is committed to fostering large-scale immigration despite huge integration challenges in the labor market.” There is a stark gap in the labor-force-participation rate between the native born (82 percent) and the foreign born, (57 percent). As the Migration Policy Institute points out, Sweden is an advanced economy with relatively few lowskills jobs to begin with. On top of this, high minimum wages and stringent labor protections make it harder for marginal work-

ers to find employment, while social assistance discourages the unemployed from getting work. None of this is a formula for assimilation or social tranquility. In a piece for The Spectator, Swedish journalist Tove Lifvendahl writes, “A parallel society is emerging where the state’s monopoly on law and order is being challenged.” And the fiscal cost is high. According to Swedish economist Tino Sanandaji, the country spends 1.5 percent of its GDP on the asylum-seekers, more than on its defense budget. Sweden is spending twice of the entire budget of the United Nations High Commissioner responsible for refugees worldwide. Pressed for housing, Sweden has spent as much on sheltering 3,000 people in tents as it would cost to care for 100,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan. It is little wonder that Sweden, where so recently it was forbidden to question the openhanded orthodoxy on immigration, has now clamped down on its borders. Sweden is a unique case, but clearly one of the lessons of its recent experience is, Don’t try this at home.

Researchers: Can maps help people avoid storms? BY LEIGH MORGAN Al.com

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — “We didn’t know it was coming.” April Taylor heard that again and again, and she didn’t understand it. Taylor, a social scientist, was working on trauma recovery in DeKalb County in northeast Alabama following the April 27, 2011, tornado super outbreak. One of those tornadoes, an EF-5, the most powerful tornado category on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, ripped right through DeKalb County, killing 25 people and leaving many others in shock. A weather enthusiast, Taylor had watched the storms roll across Alabama on that day in 2011. She knew every county west of DeKalb had a tornado warning issued for it at some point. One look at the map that day said it all. Storms were on their way, and they were going to be bad. How did anyone NOT know it was coming? That spawned the idea for an experiment. “I pulled together a map and a group of people with college degrees,” she said. “It was seven people. And I passed out a map of the northern half of Alabama with the major highways listed. And I asked them: Label your home county, label the surrounding counties. Put a dot where your hometown is and if you can where your school and your church and all that is.”

“If we are issuing graphics, polygons, forecasts, whatever, and you don’t know where you are on that map, you have no situational awareness. That’s the key here. That’s the critical component that holds all of this together in my opinion.” Kevin Laws National Weather Service, Birmingham, Alabama The results astonished her. “Seven people. All with college degrees. Only three people could label their home county. Only three. Only one was able to label surrounding counties,” she said. “And I thought, ‘OK. We’ve got something here.’” What was once a little experiment got bigger. It became something of a pet project for Taylor, who would bring out her maps whenever she got a group of people together to test her theory. And she kept getting the same results: Many Alabamians struggled to find their locations on a map. Taylor took her results to Kevin Laws at the National Weather Service in Birmingham. “When I went to Kevin with the information, at our first meeting I said, ‘I want PSAs, I’ve got a theme song picked out,” Taylor said with a laugh. Laws was not unfamiliar with the problem but was surprised

by Taylor’s results. “Isn’t it incredible?” he said. “It crosses every demographic. I think that’s what is shocking.” Then they got to work to figure out what to do with it. “The biggest counter that you can have to severe weather is situational awareness,” Laws said. “And part of situational awareness is knowing it’s coming. “And that’s what she (Williams) uncovered,” Laws continued. “She said, ‘They didn’t know it was coming.’ You have to know it, whether it’s five days in advance, an hour in advance or 10 minutes in advance. You have to know it’s coming.” A large part of that is simply knowing where you are -- and it turns out not enough people can say that with certainty when just looking at a map. “If we are issuing graphics, polygons, forecasts, whatever, and you don’t know where you are on that map, you have no situational awareness. That’s

the key here. That’s the critical component that holds all of this together in my opinion.” It’s a problem not limited to the weather service. Broadcast meteorologists hear it all the time. It can be both frustrating and horrifying. Part of the problem could be simply the maps themselves, according to Dr. Laura Myers, a senior research scientist and the director the Center for Advanced Public Safety at the University of Alabama who has also been studying the issue. “When you look at a map, a lot of times they just throw up a map with the county borders on it, so there’s no county name, there’s rarely a city name, there are no roadways on the map. And people are not really familiar with that kind of map,” she said. “They have no reference point. And they look at it -- and they don’t even get to look at it for very long if it’s on TV -- that map’s being thrown up and then it’s gone -- and so they just have a couple of seconds to really adjust to it. But if they’re looking at it on social media they’re looking at a pretty distorted map. They’re trying to figure out -- OK, where’s my reference point, where’s my county in reference to a city or in reference to an interstate highway? And you just can’t do that without those reference points.” Another issue is simply this: People just don’t use maps the same way they used to.

Flash back to life before smartphones, when many relied on a road atlas to get around. “I think back in the day we used to use maps more,” Myers said. “We used to use atlases when we traveled. We had better awareness. And as technology developed and everybody got used to using GPS and apps and everything, they let those things tell them where to go and where they are. And we let the technology tell us as opposed to us doing the work.” Now there are plans to look at the problem on a wider level. Myers will be leading a study, set to begin this spring and lasting through the fall, on this very issue. Myers said that researchers plan to fan out across Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi -- and they’re going to bring maps along. Volunteers will be tested on their situational awareness. “They’re going to indicate on a basic county map where they live. And they’ll drop a point on there, and we’ll have their address,” Myers said. “And so we’ll know how far from their actual address that they indicated on that map that they live. ... And so that technology will measure the distance from where they think they live to where they actually live.” Researchers will take that information and use it to recommend how maps can be made more readily understandable.

STARKVILLE — A recently completed study by two researchers in Mississippi State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine brings American animal shelter canine populations into sharper focus. The study by CVM faculty members Kimberly Woodruff and David R. Smith uses survey and capture/re-capture methodology to estimate the number of dogs in U.S. animal shelters, adoption rates, transfer rates and euthanasia rates. The researchers found that commonly cited figures underestimate the quantity taken in by shelters every year and overestimate the number of dogs those shelters euthanize. Woodruff, who leads the College of Veterinary Medicine’s shelter medicine program, said the study’s goal was to put quality science behind shelter population estimates. “For many years, people have quoted numbers of animals going in and out of shelters, but there’s never really been any research behind them,” Woodruff said. “Even beyond that, nobody really knows how many shelters are in the United States. There’s no official registry for shelters and no group providing oversight. Shelters can be anything from a few kennels to a huge facility that adopts out thousands of animals a year.”

Woodruﬀ and Smith, with the help of the Social Science Research Center’s Wolfgang Frese Survey Research Laboratory, surveyed 413 animal shelters across the country. The survey was limited to brick-and-mortar shelters and those that adopt out dogs. They also compared animal shelter lists from diﬀerent sources to estimate the number of shelters in the U.S. The survey results were extrapolated to create a nationwide picture of the movement of dogs into and out of shelters. The study found that shelters take in 5.5 million dogs every year, 2.6 million dogs are adopted from shelters, 969,000 are returned to an owner, 778,000 are transferred and 776,000 are euthanized. Region of the United States, size and funding sources also were examined to determine which variables may lead to different outcomes for dogs. With transport services that take dogs away from overcrowded shelters becoming more common, Smith said regions that have high shelter populations are transporting more dogs to areas of the country where there are fewer shelter dogs available. “Prior to those programs developing, there were probably more dogs in the Southeast that got euthanized because there

were more dogs in shelters in the Southeast,” Smith said. “Those transport programs have at least given dogs an opportunity to go someplace else where they have a better chance of being adopted.” Smith noted the baseline data provided by the study and possible future studies could help with developing animal health policy by providing trend data over a number of years through a replicable process. “For example, there are a lot of dogs moving out of the Southeast and into other regions,” Smith said. “Well, this is a highly endemic heartworm disease area, we possibly could be transporting heartworms across the country. That means we need to do due diligence to control that disease. We may need to ask those shelters about how they’re addressing heartworm disease and other regional diseases.” Study funding was provided by the Pet Leadership Council. Woodruﬀ and Smith presented their findings at the North American Veterinary Conference in Orlando last week. They hope to publish the full results in a peer-reviewed journal.

State jail bribery probe reaches into Alabama BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — An Alabama consultant has admitted to lying to FBI agents about a health care contract at a county jail in Alabama, signaling that a Mississippi prison bribery probe has spilled across state lines. Michael P. Goddard of Vestavia Hills, Alabama, admitted in a plea agreement filed Tuesday in federal court that he received money from Mississippi-based Health Assurance in connection with a contract that the company had from 2007 to

2011 to care for inmates at the Jeﬀerson County Jail in Birmingham. Health Assurance has been a focus of scrutiny concerning bribes paid to former Mississippi Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps and others. Goddard is scheduled to appear on March 16 in federal court in Birmingham, when he could waive indictment and plead guilty to the criminal charge. He faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, although federal prosecutors agreed to recommend a lighter

sentence. The plea agreement states that Goddard lied to FBI agents in an August interview, saying monthly payments he received weren’t related to Health Assurance. Jefferson County Chief Sheriff’s Deputy Randy Christian said the sheriff’s office had no contact with Goddard over the contract and said the FBI has not questioned Jefferson County Sheriff Mike Hale or other officials. Goddard’s lawyer didn’t respond to a phone call and email seeking comment.

Mnuchin: Goal is pass reform by August BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Thursday the administration is committed to getting major tax reform legislation through Congress by August. He predicted that President Donald Trump’s economic proposals will be able to boost growth significantly to annual rates above 3 percent. Mnuchin said that tax reform is the administration’s top economic priority and the goal is to have a measure approved by the time Congress takes its August recess. “We are committed to pass tax reform,” Mnuchin said in an interview on CNBC. “It’s going to be focused on middle income tax cuts, simplification and making (the U.S.) business tax competitive with the rest of the world, which has been a big problem.” He said implementa-

tion of Trump’s economic program including tax cuts and deregulation would make growth in a range of 3 percent to 3.5 percent “very achievable.” During the campaign, candidate Trump had set a goal of achieving growth, as measured by the gross domestic product, of 4 percent or better. The country has struggled through the weakest recovery in the post-World War II period in terms of growth, with GDP averaging annual gains of just above 2 percent in the seven years since the recession ended in mid-2009. “We have underperformed where we need to be,” Mnuchin said. “We believe we can be competitive and get back to sustainable growth of 3 percent or more.” The GDP grew by just 1.6 percent last year, and many forecasters are predicting growth this year at an only slightly better pace of 2 percent to 2.5 percent. Mnuchin said it would take time for

MEXICO CITY — Seeking to tamp down growing unease in Latin America, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly pledged Thursday that the United States won’t enlist its military to enforce immigration laws and that there will be “no mass deportations.” Only hours earlier, President Donald Trump suggested the opposite. He told CEOs at the White House the deportation push was a “military operation.” Kelly, speaking in Mexico’s capital, said all deportations will comply with human rights requirements and the U.S. legal system, including its multiple appeals for those facing deportation. He said the U.S. approach will involve “close coordination” with Mexico’s government. “There will be no use of military forces in immigration,” Kelly said. “There will be no — repeat, no — mass deportations.” Yet while Kelly and U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson tried to alleviate Mexico’s concerns, Trump was fanning them further, with tough talk about “getting really bad dudes out of this country at a rate nobody has ever seen before.” “It’s a military op-

mit to supporting the border adjustment tax but said the administration was “looking closely” at the issues raised by this type of tax. He said he has discussed those issues with two supporters of the approach, House Speaker Paul Ryan and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas. “We think there are some very interesting aspects of it. We think there are some concerns about it,” Mnuchin said. He said one thing the administration wants is a combined plan that would draw support from lawmakers in both the House and Senate. “We’re working behind the scenes very carefully. We’re running a lot of numbers and we’re taking into account a lot of issues,” he said. He said the administration hoped to have a proposal ready to unveil in “the near future, and we’re committed to get this passed by August.”

Trump’s economic program to translate to faster growth. But he said positive eﬀects would be realized by next year. Mnuchin’s prediction of an August passage of a tax plan could prove optimistic given that House and Senate Republicans seem sharply divided over key elements of the program. GOP lawmakers in the Senate have expressed opposition to a House proposal to replace the current 35 percent tax on corporate profits with a border adjustment tax. Under the House proposal, American companies that produce and sell their products in the United States would pay a new 20 percent tax on the profits from those sales. But if the company exports its products, the profits from those exports would not be taxed by the United states. However, foreign companies that import goods into the United States would have to pay the 20 percent tax. Mnuchin did not com-

eration,” Trump said Thursday while his envoys were in Mexico City. “Because what has been allowed to come into our country, when you see gang violence that you’ve read about like never before and all of the things, much of that is people who are here illegally.” It was an altogether different message from Kelly and Tillerson, who traveled here to meet with top Mexican officials at a time of intense turbulence for U.S.Mexico relations. Indeed, Trump acknowledged he had sent his top diplomat south of the border on a “tough trip.” In contrast to Trump, Tillerson and Kelly emphasized a U.S. commitment to work closely with Mexico on border security, illegal immigration and trafficking of drugs and weapons — issues Trump has made a central focus of his young presidency, much to Mexico’s dismay. Both Tillerson and Kelly appeared to downplay any major rift between the U.S. and Mexico. “In a relationship filled with vibrant colors, two strong sovereign countries from time to time will have differences,” Tillerson said. “We listened closely and carefully to each other as we respectfully and patiently raised our respective concerns.”

CANNON BALL, N.D. — Authorities on Thursday cleared a protest camp where opponents of the Dakota Access oil pipeline had gathered for the better part of a year, searching tents and huts and arresting dozens of holdouts who had defied a government order to leave. It took 3 ½ hours for about 220 oﬃcers and 18 National Guardsmen to methodically search the protesters’ temporary homes. Authorities said they arrested 46 people, including a group of military veterans who had to be carried out and a man who climbed atop a building and stayed there for more than an hour before surrendering. Native Americans who oppose the $3.8 billion pipeline established the Oceti Sakowin camp last April on federal land near the Standing Rock Indian Reservation to draw attention to their concerns that the project will hurt the environment and sacred sites — claims Dallas-based pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners disputes. The camp gained increased attention starting in August after its population had grown and authorities made their first arrests. At its height, the

camp included thousands of people, but the numbers had dwindled during the winter and as the fight over the pipeline moved into the courts. The Army Corps of Engineers said it needed to clear the camp ahead of spring flooding, and had ordered everyone to leave by 2 p.m. Wednesday. The agency said it was concerned about protesters’ safety and about the environmental eﬀects of tents, cars, garbage and other items in the camp being washed into nearby rivers. Most protesters left peacefully Wednesday, when authorities closed the camp, but some stayed overnight in defiance of the government order. Before the arrests, protester Ed Higgins 39, of Lowell, Massachusetts, said by phone from the camp that morale was high and opponents were prepared to stay as long as necessary. Protesters maintain that the camp was on land that rightfully belongs to American Indians under old treaties. “They do not own the land. They do not have the right to be here,” said Higgins, who did not answer his phone after authorities cleared the camp. As police in full riot gear worked to arrest the stragglers, cleanup crews began razing buildings on the square-mile piece of property at the confluence of the Cannonball and Missouri rivers.

Officer’s fight with teens starts protests ANAHEIM, Calif. — An off-duty California officer who didn’t want teens walking across his lawn fired his gun during a struggle with a 13-yearold boy and other youths, igniting unruly protests after video of the fight surfaced and two boys were arrested. No one was hurt during the struggle, but hundreds of people marched through suburban Anaheim streets late Wednesday, some blocking traffic and carrying signs that said “no shooting zone.” Police arrested two dozen people, including children, after the crowd ignored orders to disperse. The fight Tuesday between the off-duty Los Angeles police officer and the group of kids stemmed from ongoing issues with teens walking across the man’s property in Anaheim, a police statement said.

Indiana store sells winning lotto ticket INDIANAPOLIS — The sole winning ticket for an estimated $435.3 million Powerball jackpot — the 10th largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history — was sold at a northern Indiana convenience store where a store official said Thursday she hopes the winner is someone local. The Hoosier Lottery said the ticket was sold at a Super-Test Mini Mart store in Lafayette, a city about 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis. Nancy McKinney, the vice president of operations for West Lafayettebased Super-Test, said she was awakened at 5:30 a.m. Thursday by a phone call informing her about the win. She said she’s hoping the winner is someone who lives in or near the city of about 70,000 residents, and not just someone who bought the ticket as they were passing through. “Whoever it is, it’s made somebody’s day, that’s for sure,” McKinney said as journalists descended on the store. “We’re excited about it. It happened to our town. As the word spreads, it’ll be crazy here.” Hoosier Lottery spokesman Dennis Rosebrough said the winner has 180 days to claim the prize, which can be taken as a 30-year annuity or a one-time lump sum estimated payment of $263.5 million, both before taxes.

Officials renew push for drilling in refuge ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Former U.S. Sen. Frank Murkowski in 2001 gave a speech urging colleagues to approve oil drilling in America’s largest wildlife refuge. The Alaska Republican held up a blank sheet of paper to illustrate his point. The field of white, he said, was all you could see each winter on the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, implying that such a barren landscape would not be harmed by oil rigs. Sixteen years later, Murkowski’s daughter is trying again. U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski is sponsoring legislation to open the refuge that takes up Alaska’s northeast corner and is larger than West Virginia and Connecticut combined. With a Republican Congress and president, she’s hopeful that the timing is right. “If you ask me,” she

told The Associated Press by phone from Washington, D.C., “it’s always been a good time to open it.”

Taco Bell pulling popular chalupa IRVINE, Calif. — A Taco Bell treat that has a shell made entirely of fried chicken will vanish from the fast food chain’s menu despite its popularity. Taco Bell spokesman Rob Poetsch says the Naked Chicken Chalupa always was planned as a limited-time offer, but it has proven to be popular and exceeded the company’s expectations. A date for the end of its run hasn’t been announced. After two years of testing, the chalupa made its national debut on Jan. 26. The shell of the sandwich looks a lot like a taco and is made with allwhite chicken. It’s packed with lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese and avocado ranch sauce. Poetsch says Taco Bell is “confident it will be returning to the menu in the future.”

Jupiter-circling spacecraft stuck CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s Jupiter-circling spacecraft is stuck making long laps around the gas giant because of sticky valves. It currently takes Juno 53 days to fly around the solar system’s biggest planet. That’s almost four times longer than the intended 14-day orbit. After repeated delays, NASA decided late last week to scrap an engine firing that would have shortened the orbit. Officials said the maneuver is too risky because of the valve problem. Only the second spacecraft to orbit Jupiter, Juno has been circling the planet since July. NASA said the quality of science won’t be affected and stressed that stunning pictures of Jupiter will keep coming this way. But it will take more time to gather the data, given Juno’s longer loops. The mission will have to be extended at tens of millions of extra dollars if scientists are to collect everything under the original plan. It’s already a billion-dollar mission.

Cost for president protection lowered NEW YORK — New York City has lowered its cost estimate for guarding President Donald Trump, his family and their Manhattan residence. Police Commissioner James P. O’Neill has written to New York’s congressional delegation to seek reimbursement. He says it cost about $24 million to guard the Trumps and Trump Tower during the 2½ months between Election Day and Inauguration Day. The original estimate was $35 million. When the president is not in New York City, the department estimates that it costs $127,000 to $146,000 a day to protect the first lady and their son. If Trump is in New York City, the police department puts the estimate at $308,000 a day.

$5.7M drink tax haul doubles projections PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney says the city’s sweetened-beverage tax raised $5.7 million in January, more than double what city officials had projected. Kenney’s announce-

ment Thursday comes a day after some supermarkets and beverage distributors said they’re gearing up for layoffs after seeing beverage sales fall by 30 percent to 50 percent. Kenney’s announcement says the city projected the tax, which took effect last month, would generate about $2.3 million in January. The city has projected the tax will raise about $91 million this year and that its revenue collections would pick up steam as the year progressed. City officials expect soda sales to rebound once customers get used to the higher prices, and they say talk of layoffs is fearmongering meant to keep other cities from imposing a similar tax.

Man snaps daily selfie for 30 years BOSTON — Long before they were called selfies, Karl Baden snapped a simple black and white photo of himself. Then he repeated it every day for the next three decades. Baden’s “Every Day” project officially turns 30 on Thursday and he says he has no intention of stopping. The stark contemplation on mortality and aging has prompted some to dub the Boston College professor the unwitting “father of the selfie.” The 64-year-old Cambridge resident grumbles at comparisons to the pouty face, self-congratulatory portraits that now fill Instagram and Facebook. But he recognizes the ubiquity of the selfie has helped raise the profile of the project, which has been exhibited in art galleries in Boston, New York City and elsewhere over the years. “If it wasn’t for the selfie craze, I’d probably be slogging along in anonymity as usual,” Baden joked this week. “Which is sort of what I had expected.” What makes the project work is that it reflects a number of universal themes, from death to man’s obsession with immortalizing himself in some way, said Howard Yezerski, a Boston gallery owner who has exhibited the project on two occasions. “It’s both personal and universal at the same time,” he said. “He’s recording a life, or at least one aspect of it that we can all relate to because we’re all in same boat. We’re all going to die.” Robert Mann, a New York City gallery owner that exhibited Baden’s work on its 10th anniversary, says he’s impressed with how Baden has stuck to his process. “Watching Karl age (gracefully) in front of the camera has been an honor,” he said.

Stolen U-Haul used to steal motorcycles BILOXI — Police say two men are accused of using a stolen U-Haul truck to steal motorcycles from a Biloxi business. The Sun Herald reports that the Suzuki City Kawasaki was burglarized early Wednesday. Biloxi police Lt. Christopher De Back said two men were seen loading a U-Haul truck with four motorcycles. A short time later, the U-Haul — which had been stolen in New Orleans — was spotted on Interstate 10 in Biloxi. Police said the suspects bailed out and ran into the woods, but were later captured. Police filed charges of burglary, receiving stolen property and resisting arrest against 25-year-old Brandon Macklin Soublet; and 30-year-old Brandon Jermey Johnson, both of Louisiana. It wasn’t known early Thursday whether the men have attorneys who could comment on their behalf.

Immigration raids held at restaurants JACKSON — Federal authorities have raided multiple restaurants in Mississippi as part of an immigration check. Agents with Immigration and Custom Enforcement executed criminal search warrants at eight Asian restaurants Wednesday morning. It was unclear how many people were detained. Agency spokesman Thomas Byrd tells The Clarion-Ledger the ma-

jority of restaurants affected were part of the Ichiban chain. The raids occurred in Jackson, Flowood, Pearl and Meridian. A China Buffett in Pearl was also a target of the search warrants. Bryd declined to say what was outlined in the warrants. However, he said, all of the warrants are related.

JPS superintendent search suspended JACKSON — Jackson Public Schools officials have suspended its search for the next leader of the state’s second largest school district. The Board of Trustees voted Tuesday to start the process again during the new school year. In the meantime, interim superintendent Freddrick Murray will hold his current position. The Clarion-Ledger reports the move is a departure from the board’s original timeline to have a permanent school chief in place by July 1. Former superintendent Cedrick Gray resigned last November amid JPS receiving a failing academic rating and the reveal of safety, teaching and discipline violations by the state Department of Education that landed the 27,000 student district on probation.

Expansion project ahead of schedule PONTOTOC — Work to expand a portion of Mississippi Highway 15 to four lanes is running ahead of schedule but it will still be a few years before motorists can en-

joy it. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that the work to create two new lanes north of Pontotoc started last spring and is scheduled to be paved in about two years. Talbot Brothers Contracting of Nesbit won the $9.3 million contract in February 2016. The work covers about 6.4 miles from U.S. Highway 278 north to the Union County line.

Teens plan to throw phones to inmates LEAKESVILLE — Authorities say two teenagers were planning to throw bags of contraband — including cash, cocaine and dozens of cellphones — over security fences for inmates inside a southeastern Mississippi prison. The Mississippi Department of Corrections said in a news release that a Leakesville police officer was acting on information when he arrested a 16-year-old and 17-year-old who were driving a car Saturday that held bags of contraband, including 51 cellphones, $500 in cash, 25 cellphone batteries and various drugs. Officials believe the teenagers are part of a major smuggling ring involving the South Mississippi Correctional Facility in Greene County. On Sunday, in an unrelated case, authorities arrested 42-year-old Tony Shoots after finding a bag of contraband between two perimeter fences at the prison. It’s unclear whether Shoots has an attorney.

Sales accelerating? The Commerce Department releases today its tally of new home sales in January. Sales declined sharply in December to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 536,000. Despite the slide, sales for all 2016 were the highest since 2007, fueled by low mortgage rates and a steadily improving job market. Economists predict that new home sales rebounded last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 577,500 homes.

Betting on bond managers Why try beating the market? Investors have asked that question with increasing frequency in recent years, usually in relation to mutual funds. Rather than investing in a fund where the manager tries to pick winning stocks and avoid losing ones, investors have opted instead for low-cost funds that track the S&P 500 and other indexes. Index funds have largely been better performers than their actively managed rivals — a big part of the reason investors poured $504.8 billion into index funds last year, while pulling a net $340.1 billion out of actively managed funds. Investors still trust fund

Actively managed Investors still trust bond fund managers to actively manage their money, even as stock investors pour money into passively managed index funds.

managers to pick the right investment in bonds, however. With the Federal Reserve on track to keep raising rates, investors are hoping to profit from fund managers’ expertise. Rising rates mean falling prices for existing bonds, because their yields are less attractive than those of newly issued bonds. Roughly 40 percent of intermediate-term, investment-grade bond funds have better 10-year returns than a relevant benchmark index, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. Compare that to the 15 percent of U.S. largecap stock funds that have beaten the S&P 500.

Oil and gas tracker

Wall Street predicts that J.C. Penney’s latest quarterly results improved from a year earlier. Financial analysts expect that the department store chain’s quarterly earnings increased sharply from a year earlier, while revenue remained essentially flat. Penney has been wrestling with sluggish clothing sales. Investors will be listening for an update on how Penney’s sales trends are faring today, when the company reports its fiscal fourth-quarter results.

Oilfield services company Baker Hughes issues today its latest weekly count of U.S. oil and natural gas rigs. Last week, the number of rigs rose to 751. That tally included 597 rigs exploring for oil and 153 seeking natural gas. One was listed as miscellaneous. The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May last year at 404.

Daughters blame mom’s fiance for breaking up her marriage D E A R ABBY: My fiancee and I plan to be married next year. I met her after she left Abigail her husband he Van Buren because had cheated on her twice. Dear Abby She refuses to tell her daughters that she left their dad because he cheated, so I am doomed to be the “bad guy” for eternity. They think I’m “the man who stole Mama from Daddy.” Her youngest (age 25) thinks I’m the devil incarnate and is unbelievably rude to me, no matter who is around. I’m thinking marriage will be hell because she and her mother interact every day. What am I to do? -- BLAMELESS IN THE SOUTH DEAR BLAMELESS: This is not a question of what “you” should do. It’s a question of what you and your fiancee should do together. While it may not be necessary for her to tell her adult daughters that their father was a cheater, and that’s the reason she left him, she should definitely call a family meeting and clear the air by telling them that you were not the reason the marriage ended.

She should also insist that you be treated with respect -- if not affection. However, if she’s unwilling to do that, then you should seriously consider calling off the wedding because a marriage under those conditions would be miserable for you. Her daughters would guarantee it. DEAR ABBY: This is in response to “Another Husband in Oregon,” who wondered about the “man cave” behavior he had observed in his neighbors. I can tell you from personal experience that the appeal of spending long hours working on mechanical things in a garage or workshop in total solitude is strong for many men. Regarding the guy who rebuilt an antique truck from the ground up, if you go to any car show featuring restored cars, you can’t help but admire the time, energy, skill and commitment some men put into a restoration. These can be works of art. Balance is very important to a successful marriage. Before a wife complains about too much time spent in the “cave” (and not all do complain), she should consider the upside. He is safe, he’s not blowing family money in a bar or at a blackjack table, and he’s not chasing other women. And he just may be creating

something unique that will give him great pride and satisfaction. -- PAUL IN WISCONSIN DEAR PAUL: When I put the question about “garaged husbands” out to my readers, they were forthcoming with their views. The responses -- predominantly from men, but also some of their wives -- were overwhelmingly positive. While the theory of spending too much time in the garage as a result of being “frozen out of the bedroom” was raised, most readers affirmed the value of having separate time from a spouse -- as long as it is only “spare” time. Wives wrote that it enables them to catch up on reading, shopping, a project with the kids or grandkids, or watch a favorite TV show or movie. Both spouses extolled the results produced in the “cave” -- restored vintage cars, woodworking items and various repairs. Visiting is permitted, and there’s learning to be had for the kids. And, as a number of readers reminded us, “At least you know where he is.” 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. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you didn’t sign up to be the hero, don’t worry, the real heroes never do. They get roped into doing the right thing. And usually by their own heartstrings, and lacking the stomach for cowardice, they keep up the trend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your workload will be intense today, but so will be your energy. The extent of determination will be tested. What they don’t know is that you’ll never give up. For as long as you can possibly hang in there, you will. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You combine that bright intellect with the human touch to unbeatable effect. The tendency to include everyone, even (and especially!) those who don’t fit in is part of your enormous charm. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Each person has a level of untidiness they are willing to accept. Woe to the people who go beyond that point today, as you’re in no mood to let it slide. This is true of both your emo-

tional and your physical world. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is one of those fast-paced days when you’ll feel that life is getting out of hand ... or maybe you’re just realizing that it never really was in your hands in the first place. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A different frame doesn’t change the picture per say, but it changes how we look at the picture. Experiment with this concept as you’re in a position to direct someone’s attention. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). For you, the hardest part of being tolerant is tolerating the intolerant. It’s part of the work though, and you’ll regret it if you let someone’s uncongenial attitude get under your skin. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You like to interact with those who are confident in their knowledge. It is far less favorable to interact with those who rigidly assume that their way is the only correct way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21). Maybe there are no stupid questions, but there are definitely questions that open new worlds. And there are also questions that open cans of worms. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s nothing you could say to make someone understand better than they do at this moment. It’s not your fault; it’s the nature of maturity. People can’t mature faster than they do. Give love, not words. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your life has been full of surprises and serendipity and it’s about to get even more interesting in that regard. The more people you know, the more likely you are to run into someone you know. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are many who ask for good advice who won’t follow it. Maybe what they are looking for is not advice so much as validation, support and a general sense that they are not in this alone.

Will Freeze survive at Ole Miss? BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Sometimes you just have to look for the humor in a bad situation and make the best of it. But that’s easier said than done. To keep a positive attitude is an increasingly diﬃcult thing to do in this day and age when it seems like we’re always surrounded by negativity. And the media certainly doesn’t help when they pour salt on an already deep and open wound. If you had an opportunity to watch the video of the press conference at Ole Miss yesterday with University president David Vitter, athletic director Ross Bjork and

head football coach Hugh Freeze, it was obvious that the long-standing NCAA investigation has taken it’s toll. Look closely at the video and you’ll see a weary Hugh Freeze with sulking cheeks and bags under and around his eyes looking like I haven’t seen him look before. Even just a few months ago during the midst of recruiting season, the Rebels’ head man described the signing class as a result of a stern penalty. But he didn’t look worn out and tired as he did on Wednesday. He’s usually a positive and happy man. But not yesterday. Granted, Vitter voiced his unwavering support of both Freeze and Bjork, but was he

hiding something within that statement? Is Freeze really likely to lose his job over the whole thing? Is there more to the story than what we saw and heard yesterday? Anything’s possible. I mean it happens all the time. Personally, I like Hugh Freeze. And, truth be told, until this investigation started so did the general media. He was even referred to a few times as a media darling after a couple of stellar, Top 10 recruiting classes. His personality is contagious in the best sort of way, and he has deep religious convictions. Don’t forget, this man — who is now under heavy fire — holds numerous speaking engagements yearly. That includes in churches, where he

has been known to preach on occasion. I realize being perceived as a religious and straightlace man doesn’t necessarily make you one, but you can’t convince me that Freeze is an imposter, that he says one thing and does another. Fact is, we all wear masks. We make mistakes, and we hopefully learn from them. But now the media seems to have turned on a good coach and a good man due to perceptions that he was covering up some sort of scandal. Yes, mistakes were made within the Ole Miss football program. Yes, they will pay a heavy price. No, I don’t believe for a second that Freeze Please see FREEZE | 11A

Schaefer named to Community Service Team Mississippi State Sports Information

STARKVILLE — Blair Schaefer’s dedication to serving the Starkville community has earned the Mississippi State junior guard a spot on the SEC Community Service Team, the league oﬃce announced Wednesday. It is the second-straight

year Schaefer has been tabbed to the squad. Since coming to Mississippi State, Schaefer has been very active in community service events, and she also serves as one the women’s basketball SAAC representative and a member of the SEC Basketball Student-Athlete Leadership Council.

She has assisted the last two years with the T.K. Martin Fun Run, an event benefitting MSU’s T.K. Martin Center for Technology and Disability. During the summer, she and her teammates judged the talent show for Camp Jigsaw, a camp at MSU for youth with autism. The Starkville native has

also served the past three years at Starkville’s Travis Outlaw Day, and she has been a regular participant during her career at Bully’s Book Blitz, an initiative where Bulldog student-athletes go to local schools to encourage students on the value of readPlease see SCHAEFER | 11A

Ole Miss self-imposes 1-year football postseason ban The Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi’s football team will not play in the postseason next year. The Rebels might be facing more penalties, too, now that the NCAA says the program has committed more than 20 rules violations over the past several years.

Ole Miss oﬃcials said Wednesday that the university has received an amended Notice of Allegations from the NCAA that includes eight new football violations, including six that are Level I, which the governing body deems the most serious. The school says the

NCAA’s new charges include cash payments and other improper benefits to recruits from boosters — in one case up to $15,600 — and involve previous staﬀ members who are no longer with the program. Ole Miss did not release the new NOA, but discussed

its contents in a 21-minute video posted on YouTube on Wednesday. The eight new violations are on top of 13 previous violations from the NCAA’s prior NOA in 2016. One of the previous 13 charges was upgraded from Please see BAN | 11A

failure to monitor, a Level II violation, to the much more serious Level I charge of lack of institutional control. The final tally: 21 NCAA violations, including 15 classified as Level I. As a result, the school self-imposed a one-year postseason football ban for the 2017 season. More penalties could be coming. “The additional allegations announced today are serious,” Ole Miss athletic director Ross Bjork said in the video. “But we will vigorously defend the university against those allegations we believe are not appropriately supported, including that we lacked institutional control and that our head football coach did not promote an atmosphere of compliance or monitor staff in our football program.” The school says it intends to fight several of the new charges. Ole Miss Chancellor Jeff Vitter, Bjork and football coach Hugh Freeze all discussed the NCAA case in Wednesday’s video. “I feel terrible for our players and staff who have to handle the consequences of the actions of a very few,” Freeze said in the video. The fifthyear coach added that the penalties were necessary so that the program could “move forward.” The university has 90 days to send an official response to the NCAA. On top of the postseason ban, Bjork said that by Southeastern Conference rule the school would forfeit its 2017 postseason share, which is expected to be $7.8 million. The athletic depart-

ment had already announced some self-imposed penalties before Wednesday, including probation, scholarship losses and recruiting restrictions. Now the postseason ban has been added. The NCAA can accept Ole Miss’ self-imposed penalties or add to them after a hearing in front of the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions that will likely take place in the summer or fall. The NCAA’s long-running investigation began in 2012 after a university probe discovered academic and recruiting misconduct involving the women’s basketball program. Ole Miss later acknowledged the investigation had spread to the football and track and field programs. The women’s basketball and track and field portion of the case was settled last year, but the football portion of the case had been in limbo while the school investigated more allegations involving former left tackle Laremy Tunsil. Tunsil was the story of the NFL draft in April after a bizarre video of him smoking from a gas mask-bong contraption was posted on his Twitter account just before the selections began. There was also a post on Tunsil’s Instagram account showing an alleged text conversation with a football staﬀ member about arranging payment for bills. Tunsil said both accounts were hacked, but acknowledged following the draft that he accepted money from a coach while he was at Ole Miss. The school says none of the new charges are related to the draft night incident.

MIAMI — Paul George stayed put. So did Jimmy Butler, Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose. And as the trade deadline passed Thursday, the NBA landscape seemed remarkably unchanged. In all, seven deadline-day trades were put together by the 3 p.m. Eastern deadline — but no lastminute blockbusters. AllStar DeMarcus Cousins was traded to New Orleans by Sacramento a few days earlier, yet every trade that followed paled in comparison. “You know where all those big dominoes are? They’re still home, with the exception of one,” Miami President Pat Riley said. “I’m sure there were people that probably made some pretty significant oﬀers. ... When you have that kind of player ... it takes a lot to say, ‘OK, we’re going to let this guy go.’ You stay with the sure thing there.”

George remained with the Indiana Pacers, even though the four-time AllStar knew other teams sought his services. Jimmy Butler stayed with the Chicago Bulls, and the New York Knicks held onto Rose and Anthony — the latter of whom would have had to waive his notrade clause to make any deal occur anyway. “I wasn’t concerned,” George said. “At the end of the day, I’m in a good situation. ... I heard the rumors, diﬀerent rumors, but I can’t control what was going to happen one way or another.” The biggest moves of this trade season came long before deadline day. Toronto getting forward Serge Ibaka from Orlando last week for Terrence Ross figures to improve the Raptors’ chances in the Eastern Conference, and Thursday’s move to land P.J. Tucker from Phoenix gives them another outstanding on-the-

ball defender. And the deal for Cousins that went down on All-Star Sunday — in New Orleans, no less — gives the Pelicans a frontline like no other in the NBA with him now alongside Anthony Davis. Plus, Cleveland snagged Kyle Korver last month. But contenders mostly stayed quiet Thursday. An earlier agreed-upon trade of note was oﬃcially completed, the one that sent Lou Williams to Houston from the Los Angeles Lakers and adds more serious scoring to the Rockets’ bench. Boston, currently No. 2 in the East, has the right to swap picks with Brooklyn in this year’s draft, and the Nets right now would be favored to win the lottery and the No. 1 pick — something the Celtics would grab. Any big addition made Thursday almost certainly would have cost the Celtics that chance. “It is a delicate balance

of short-term goals and long-term goals,” Boston general manager Danny Ainge said. Perhaps the most interesting moves Thursday were not trades at all. Dallas put five-time All-Star point guard Deron Williams on waivers, and a person briefed on the situation told The Associated Press that when Williams clears he plans to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers, which would give LeBron James the extra playmaker he covets for the looming title defense. “Obviously we have a great deal of interest, and we’ve said it for a long time, in a playmaker,” Cavaliers general manager David Griﬃn said. “I won’t speak to specific names just because nobody’s free currently that’s out there for us to talk about. But, obviously the need for a playmaker still exists ... and we feel that we’ll be competitive in that market for sure.”

what multiple coaches and 85 student-athletes are up to at all times. It just cannot be done, and anyone who argues otherwise simply has his head buried in the sand. Freeze looks worn and weary, and for good reason. It doesn’t matter how strong you think your faith is, when it’s tested like this it’s completely diﬀerent and much harder. In my humble opinion, the NCAA should punish the former coaches and boosters for their actions and not an entire team for something they aren’t guilty of. That is an issue that needs to be seriously considered in the future by the powers that be in the NCAA. If the entire program is guilty, then punish the entire program. But to pun-

ish these young men and the current coaches who had nothing to do with the infractions that occurred in years past is absurd in my eyes. But although this change needs to occur it probably never will, and that’s sad. I get it: 100 people pay the price for the mistakes made by two or three. Is that fair? Absolutely not. I’ll stand by that belief til judgement day. I do remember a similar thing happened to me when I was a student at East Corinth Elementary School back in the early 1970s. A close friend of mine put a couple of tacks in the teacher’s chair and didn’t fess up to it when she gave him the opportunity. You know what happened

next. The whole class was punished for the actions of one 8-year old. I realize that was a teaching tactic, but it still doesn’t seem fair to me after all these years. Will Freeze still be the head coach when all is said and done? That remains to be seen. But I personally believe he should be. The program will pay a severe penalty and has already self-imposed damaging penalties internally which now includes a bowl ban for the upcoming season. Put yourself in the place of the current coaches and especially the players h will now suﬀer the consequences for something they didn’t do. Is that really fair?

knew of the wrong-doings of a couple of former staﬀ members that turned their backs on the core values of the university until after the fact. If he had known, those men would have been out the door long before they were shown it. Consider this: if you’re a parent and you have three or four kids, do you happen to be aware of every move those children make all the time? No. The same goes with being a head coach at any university. If it’s impossible for you to keep track of and be aware of everything that happens in your family all the time, just think how much more impossible it is for a head coach to know

Perhaps, though, as historians remind us, history is cyclical and tends to repeat itself. Hopefully, the denigration of the news is temporary, and faith in it will rebound. American journalism does, after all, have a complicated past. In the late 1800s, both William Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer were progenitors of “yellow journalism,” as they propounded the notion of defending the public interest but, in earnest, promulgated sensational reporting and engaged in circulation wars. Later, in the early 1900s, during the Progressive era, President

Theodore Roosevelt galvanized the political connection with the press, creating a Press Room in the White House after observing reporters huddling in the rain one day. News became a central focus of the Roosevelt presidency almost daily, as Teddy freely oﬀered interviews and photo opportunities. The press responded favorably, and Roosevelt continued to enjoy genial relationships with its members, using news stories to maintain a close relationship with his middle class base. What makes for a good journalistic story with such a wide base? Practically anything. Conversely, is every story newsworthy? No — but a reporter can use storytelling and verification of information to make a story newsworthy. As the API says, “A good story... does more than inform or amplify. It adds value to the topic.” It is, according to Kovach and Rosenstiel, “storytelling with a pur-

pose.” Are reporters expected to be without bias? No— reporters are human, and will, therefore be biased. However, an adept reporter will be objective, examining the best way to present the news and verifying information so comprehensively that personal and cultural biases will not undermine the reporting. The API sets forth the model: “The best stories are more complete and more comprehensive. They contain more verified information from more sources with more viewpoints and expertise. They exhibit more enterprise, more reportorial eﬀort.” Often, laypersons grumble that the media report the most “negative” news, including murder and scandal, ignoring more “positive” stories. The old journalistic aphorism “man bites dog” explains this proclivity. The more unusual an occurrence, the more likely a story is to get reported. How many stories, for instance, do we read or hear about planes that avoid crashing? As for the current rash of criticism against the media, my love for the journalism is one reason I cringe at hearing someone in power use a term

such as “fake news” to discount legitimate, established news sources and, on the contrary, tout media outlets who feign opinion pieces or clear propaganda as objective, irrefutable news. The difference between the two essentially boils down to being well-read and wellresearched. When it comes to discerning authentic news outlets from genuinely “fake” ones, we should all rely as much — or more — on reading our news, not viewing it merely on television or online. We should, further, look beyond “clickbait,” or adheavy, publications to long-established news outlets that oﬀer denser versions of news stories, including background information that “headline” operations, especially those in that godforsaken 24-hour news cycle that has plagued us for the past couple of decades or so, including Fox News and CNN, tend to omit.

and we understand that completely. But, they also need to understand some of the consequences of this decision: • Reduces your benefit amount by 25-30% depending on your Full Retirement Age. • Reduces your Survivor Benefit to your spouse. • Eliminates claiming strategies that can greatly improve your income stream. • Eliminates Delayed Retirement Credits, which are 8% per year after full retirement age for a total of a 32% increase from 66-70. You do not have to wait until age 70, in fact this increase is calculated on a monthly basis for increases to your Primary Insurance Amount. • Limits income potential – if drawing early, in 2017 you can only earn $16,920 per year without being penalized by Social Security. • Interferes with health insurance coverage, if you are no longer working and do not have medical coverage. You must fill this gap until age 65 when you qualify for Medicare. A long list of what if’s; that is why professional advice is strongly recommended before filing for your benefit. We review all options with you at diﬀerent ages, to ensure complete knowledge of your options, which allows you to make a PLAN. Consider your SS statement not a stop sign, but a green light for improvement in your income potential. Social Security is only one piece of the Retirement Puzzle, but we consider it the cornerstone or foundation. We see couples weekly that their combined SS benefit through their life expectancy is well over a million dollars…. middle America earners. Don’t let this slip through the cracks!!

Injury provides time to reflect on blessings The end of last week brought unexpected physical misery, which I’m not accustomed to. My left leg was traumatized by what I assumed to be a pinched sciatic Lora Ann nS eo rmv ee -. Huff times I could walk Back Porch in an upright position, sometimes I could not. Many times when I had to lean to the side and bend forward, I remembered people from my childhood who were drawn to similar positions with no hope of

going back to their original younger days. The flashbacks were bittersweet. … So while sitting or lying on the couch or slowly waddling through my house, I had ample time for reflection and was reminded of things we do every day that we take for granted. I usually am able to do what I want to do – as well as things I must do even though I might not want to. I’m one who tries not to ask for help — I want to be independent without waiting for someone else to work me into their schedule! In my mental meanderings, I was reminded of my sister-in-law several years ago who, after having surgery for a brain tumor, was

forced to rely on her walking cane for stability. Even though she walked with a limp and was not as fast as she once was, she still had her great sense of humor and kept on going, never failing to take care of her family and then do what she could to help others. Then I revisited the memory of my Aunt Vera who, when I was growing up, was a tall, stately, and stout lady. We never would have believed her to be any diﬀerent. Then rheumatoid arthritis set in. Some people are diagnosed with RA and others might not notice a physical diﬀerence for a long time. The person experiences great pain but it

may not be visible to others. My aunt’s condition soon became obvious to those around her. She started losing weight, she walked diﬀerently, her fingers grew stiﬀ and slanted, she became frail and weak. Always in pain and struggling to remain independent, she had surgery on her toes to help her keep the ability to walk, tried hot wax on her hands – anything researchers advised. Finally, after having a broken hip, she got a walker for support and hung a little basket on it to carry necessities from place to place in the house. Never giving up on life or her Lord, she kept on going,

determined not to become an invalid. One day Vera called me to say she had an eye problem – she leaned over to take something from the oven, and her cornea ruptured. The arthritis had dried her eyes out so badly the cornea popped apart. One doctor recommended a transplant but others said her condition would never accept the new cornea, so she had one good eye after that. She had drops prescribed then for both eyes – to comfort the bad one and save the good one. My aunt still didn’t complain – and my own eyes fill with tears to this day as I remember that’s just the way she was. Although she

surely must have cried and felt sorry for herself in her alone times, she never let us see that side of her pain. … So my minor setback for a few days gave me some time to realize how blessed I am. After a visit to the doctor and a shot and medicine, my condition is improved. I’m thankful the Lord is with us on our good days and our bad, and He provides grace for each situation – and also teaches us to have compassion for others at the same time.

Why do we always treat our love ones worse than others? Something that I have noticed about many husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, or other family members is that when it c o m e s to making decisions or wanting Gary something Andrews done most of us tend Devotionals to treat our loved ones and the ones closest too us worse than we do others. When I retired I felt making major decisions concerning small or major problems would come to an end. When in the newspaper business the buck stopped at my desk and all of the employees relied on my decisions to be the correct ones. If I didn’t have a ready answer then I was expect-

ed to find the right one by going to the right people. I wasn’t use to people questioning my decision and they took my final answer as the truth. Now that I am retired from the newspaper industry and continue working part-time from home alongside of my wife, I find myself in a diﬀerent type of environment and new rules to abide by. Even though we have been married for over 40 years and I know her and love her more than anyone else on earth, I sometimes find myself asking or telling her what to do about certain situations and she questions me about my decisions. I guess I have the same type expectations of her as I did with the employees I worked with. Then, again on the other hand, she retired from teaching school after 21 years of working with

Suggested daily Bible readings: Sunday – Philippians 4:4-7; Monday – Psalm 34:17-20; Tuesday - Luke 10:27; Wednesday – Malachi 2:13-15; Thursday – 2 Timothy 3:10-17; Friday – Genesis 4:1-26; Saturday – 2 Peter 3:8-13 special needs children. We had two totally diﬀerent careers, diﬀerent type managerial experience, yet similar in nature. We both worked with the public. I find myself thinking that she should understand what I want and what I am talking about when we are working together and expect her to act accordingly. On the other hand, she does the same with me

when she speaks to me, with the exception that sometimes she wants to talk down to me as she has so many years for children to understand her. I wonder if this is typical in all families. I have witnessed on so many occasions a young husband belittling his wife for something she had no idea of what to do and he had not taken the time to explain to her all the facts. It was his way and she should understand that his hollering and badgering her was just going to be a way of life. Then again I have seen other couples that wouldn’t speak to each other for days because one of them expected their spouse to read their mind and do what they had no idea to do. It seems that the more we love someone the more we expect them to understand they need to do what we want before

we tell them. Billy Graham once wrote that there are three elements to a successful marriage: Love, maturity, and faith. Marriage must be Christ centered for the marriage and home to be successful. In today’s mindset of the world, too many young people enter into a marriage without any of the three essential elements mentioned by Mr. Graham and expect to have a fruitful relationship and family. In Galatians 5:22-23 we are told, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” I love my wife with all of my heart and soul yet I find myself treating her on occasions worse than I would anyone else. Why is this? In no way would I ever do anything to hurt her yet sometimes I say

things or give facial expressions that seem mean spirited. There are many people in this world today that don’t have what we have and that is a Christ led marriage and family. Even though there are misunderstandings and diﬀerence of opinions, we know in the end we love each other and no one can take that away. Spouses and family members are easy targets for us to take out our frustrations. It shouldn’t be this way! Prayer: Thank you Lord for my wife and her love. You have blessed us so much and for this I give you all the praise and glory. Give me wisdom and strength to treat her as you would have me to do. Amen.

Dear Annie: My daughter is a sophomore in college and is starting to apply for summer internships. She’s a great student — all A’s and B’s — and a hard worker. She wants to work in the film industry, so most of the places she’s sending her resume are media companies, film studios, advertising agencies and the like. My good friend of 25 years, who is like an uncle to my daughter, is the head of production at one of the top ad agencies in Los Angeles. He said years ago that if my daughter ever needed a job, I should let him know, but he hasn’t brought it up lately. In this day and age, applying for jobs has a lot to do with whom you know. I see networking as an important and advantageous skill for my daughter to have, but I don’t know whether telling my friend she is looking for an internship would be an overstep. She’s brand-new to the professional world. Would I be right to do this? I don’t want to put my friend in an awkward position, and if my daughter did get the job, I wouldn’t want her colleagues to resent her because she got the job through a friend

Dear Annie of the boss’s. — Mom With Connections Dear Mom: Yes, you should absolutely take advantage of that connection and ask your friend whether he has any open internships for which your daughter might apply. She is new to the industry, and this “uncle” could serve as a great professional mentor. Just be sure to bring it up with him in private, when your daughter isn’t around. As long as it’s just you two, you won’t be putting him in an awkward position. He can always say no. At the end of the day, you’re just trying to help your daughter open that door and get a foot in. What she does once she’s inside is totally up to her. Dear Annie: This is in reference to “Concerned Grandmother,” who has a granddaughter who does not like to be touched by other people.

Your response was right when it comes to the fact that people should be respectful to others and not touch them without asking. However, I am concerned about why the granddaughter is so frightened. Perhaps she has been harassed by someone. Maybe she has not been taught properly about physical contact. Could it be that she actually wants to say more? This may be a time to recommend professional guidance. As a 69-year-old grandma, former day care provider and school paraprofessional, I feel the communication that the granddaughter and grandmother are having is a big start to helping her find a happy medium with respect to the problem. May they find strength from each other in learning how to deal with the situation. — Barb Dear Barb: You make a great point. I’m passing your letter along to “Concerned Grandmother” so she can go about getting to the root of her granddaughter’s problem. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.
