Snowfall hits the Crossroads area BY ZACK STEEN

zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
Crossroads area residents woke up to a winter wonderland Thursday morning. Meteorologists may have had the timing off by a few hours, but they were correct in the amount of snow the area might receive. Downtown residents reported seeing 2 inches of snow fall, while folks in the southern parts of the county reported more than 3 inches of the white stuff. As businesses closed across the city, classes were canceled at all area schools as kids around the region celebrated their first “real” snow day of the year. “The boys were out of school Wednesday and Thursday. They watched the skies all day Wednesday for the first snowflake,” said mom Beth Nelms. “When it finally started snowing here around 3 p.m., they were so excited.” Alcorn Central students Ethan Nelms, 9, and Christian Nelms, 8, built several snowmen in the front yard of the Farmington home and had a few snowball fights with their mom. “Ethan says I don’t make good snowballs,” added Beth. “In other words, I lost every snowball battle I had with my

a water tube being ridden in a field off North Harper Road by Trey’s 12-year-old son Will and
Trey’s wife, Buffy Wayne. “We’re tubing, winter style,” said Trey Wayne, smiling. “Want to go for a ride?” Buffy Wayne pulled snow off her face during a short break. “It’s cold,” she said, her face covered in show. Most of the area’s snow melted on Thursday due to the warm, sunny skies. Roads and highways in the city and county were clear making travel much safer. “Fortunately we didn’t have a lot of ice in this storm. We had our crew out until just after midnight Thursday morning,” said District 1 Supervisor Lowell Hinton. “The slick places out in the county dried up pretty fast when the sun broke.” Hinton said he was ready for several days of warmer and clearer weather. “We need to finish up some patching work on the roads,” he added. “We’re hoping this snow and ice is done for a while.” Friday’s forecast includes Please see SNOW | 2A

More money is needed for Corinth’s downtown beautification. That’s the message Mona Lisa Grady delivered to members of the Corinth Area Convention & Visitors Bureau board this week. “We are requesting additional funding to help cover the costs of more landscape maintenance for the Corinth Beautification Program,” said Grady, the executive director of CREATE Foundation’s
CARE who oversees the program. “The additional funds will help us maintain the SoCo district’s new pocket park and bulb outs along Wick and Franklin Streets.” The program’s 2014 budget totaled $18,500 with CACVB, CARE and the City of Corinth contributing to the budget. Grady is seeking an increase of $5,000 for 2015, and requested a $3,000 increase from tourism. CARE will foot the other $1,500. Please see FUNDS | 2A

Official fatally shoots self on day of corruption case BY JEFF AMY Associated Press
GULFPORT — By the time his name was called out in federal court Thursday morning, Harrison County Supervisor William Martin was already dead. Martin had been scheduled to appear at 11 a.m. Thursday to answer to an indictment claiming he took bribes for years and then tried to get a witness to lie about it to a grand jury. His lawyer, Jim Davis, said Martin was going to plead not guilty, and seemed “strong” when he last talked to the supervisor Wednesday. But by 8 a.m., when pretrial processing was supposed to begin, Martin was nowhere to be seen. No one in the courtroom on the sixth floor of Gulfport’s federal courthouse knew why even three hours later, when U.S. Magistrate Judge John Gargi-
ulo told a court security officer to call the missing defendant’s name. “William Martin” echoed three times in the mostly empty courtroom, then three more times outside the courtroom in a lobby with a spectacular view of the Mississippi Sound. By 11:16 a.m., when Gargiulo issued a bench warrant for Martin’s arrest, police officers had already reached his home in a modest suburban neighborhood on Gulfport’s north side. That’s where they found him dead in his own bed. According to Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove, Martin shot himself in the head once with a handgun, likely in the early hours of Thursday morning. Martin left a note, although Hargrove declined to disclose its contents. Rumors that Martin was in legal trouble had circulated for
months, although a sealed indictment was returned only last week. The document, unusually short on detail for a federal indictment, alleges that Martin took “multiple things of value from a person” in exchange for official acts between January 2005 and August 2012. The indictment says Martin also accepted “a thing of value from a person” in September or October of 2014. Finally, the indictment claims that on Dec. 17, 2014, Martin tried to “impede the providing of truthful testimony” by a witness subpoenaed to appear before a federal grand jury to testify about the bribes. Officials with the U.S. Attorney’s office and the state auditor’s office refused to say more about the case against Martin. Employees of state Auditor Stacey Pickering were at the
Harrison County Courthouse in Gulfport Thursday morning, examining documents. Martin could have faced 10 years in prison for each of the two bribery counts and 20 years for witness tampering. Davis said the charges against Martin were not related to the case of Harrison County Supervisor Kim Savant, who resigned and pleaded guilty in December to taking bribes from Pass Christian contractor Sean Anthony while a member of a countywide sewer authority. Anthony agreed earlier this week to plead guilty to a federal conspiracy charge related to the case. Kamran Pahlavan, the former executive director of the Harrison County Utility Authority, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he took bribes from Anthony and faces trial in July.

Coverage depends on court challenge Associated Press
CHICAGO — Millions of Americans have a big personal stake in next Wednesday’s Supreme Court challenge to the nation’s health care law: Can they legally continue to get subsidies to help pay for their insurance? If the court says no, people across more than 30 states could lose federal subsidies for their premiums. The legal arguments the justices will hear are complex. Opponents who brought the lawsuit argue the law’s literal wording only allows the government to pay subsidies in states that have set up their own insurance markets, or exchanges. Most states have not. Supporters of the law say such a narrow reading misses its basic intent: to increase Americans’ access to health insurance nationwide. Whatever they know or don’t know about the law’s fine print, millions will feel the effects of the ruling.

“It took me an hour,” added Andrew. “Aaron gave up after 45 minutes.” The brothers had grand visions of a building a fire truck. “We might have done that if we had got the snow they did in Alabama,” said Aaron, referring to the 12 inches recorded in places there. The firefighter snowman was dressed in the fireman attire of hat, coat, pants, boots and ax. The Canaday’s home was a busy place as people stopped to take photos. Team Canaday’s artwork lasted a couple of hours. “It started falling over around noon,” said Andrew. Should more snow be in the forecast down the road, the brothers will be ready. “It’s going to take a lot of snow and red paint to make the fire truck.” said Aaron.

Life members wishing to catch a glimpse should drop by the brunch to see the festivities come together. For $15, diners will have the opportunity for photo-ops with the Easter bunny as they indulge in festive refreshments, prize drawings and spirited activities. Tickets are available at Kates and Co. and Ginger’s or from any JA member. A Luxury Purse Raffle will also be held with the winning tickets to be drawn later in the evening. “Tickets are $50 for one of three chances and can be purchased from any JA member. They will also be available the night of the raffle,” said Jones. “Those entering need not be present to win.” Items up for grabs include a Louis Vuitton “Never Full” red interior with Louis Vuitton hard-
ware, valued at $1,560; a Glenda Gies tapestry purse with wallet, valued at $448; and a Rebbeca Minkoff black “Mini Mac” convertible cross-body chain strap, valued at $195.

Living ads will be presented at the ball, followed by the highly anticipated Citizen of the Year announcement. A silent auction take place from 6 to 9 p.m. followed by live entertainment by “Prowler” from 8:30 p.m. to 12 a.m. “If you or someone you know would like to attend, please see any JA member,” said the chair. “Reminiscent of our theme, the 53rd Annual Charity Ball will be an evening filled with excitement and is a wonderful way to raise funds for our kids of Alcorn County.”

“The beautification of our downtown definitely does help tourism,” said CACVB board member Laura Albright. “It’s very important that our downtown look presentable — it’s everyone’s first impression.” Board members discussed the possibility of a partnership with the city and the county. “If we could split the $5,000 increase request three ways, that would solve the problem — that is, if the city and county are willing to help,” added CACVB president Russell Smith. Grady said there is talk of the Alcorn County Courthouse being added to the beautification program in the near feature, which is county owned.
A lawyer and former prosecutor, Martin had served as a supervisor of the coast’s most populous county since 1999. Divorced with grown children, he was an influential figure in Gulfport’s black community. Word of his death brought family and friends, fellow lawyers and law enforcement flocking to his home as police milled around. Dennis Stevenson, a friend and fraternity brother, described Martin as “a wonderful man, people-centered.” “I talked to him about a week ago and he seemed to be in good spirits,” Stevenson said. “It is a shock to all of us.” Neighbor Ramona Bradley came home from work when she heard what happened. “He was always talking about wrong and right,” Bradley said. “I can’t believe this happened.”

More than $13,000 was raised on the gun drawing alone, and Amanda hopes for even better results for the shelter. “When we first read about the shelter’s lack of full funding, we knew we had to do something to help,” added Amanda.

Today in History
Local/State
Heavy snow falls across Mississippi Associated Press
Today is Friday, Feb. 27, the 58th day of 2015. There are 307 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 27, 1933, Germany’s parliament building, the Reichstag, was gutted by fire. Chancellor Adolf Hitler, blaming the Communists, used the fire to justify suspending civil liberties.
On this date: In 1939, the Supreme Court, in National Labor Relations Board v. Fansteel Metallurgical Corp., effectively outlawed sit-down strikes. Britain and France recognized the regime of Francisco Franco of Spain. In 1968, at the conclusion of a CBS News special report on the Vietnam War, Walter Cronkite delivered a commentary in which he said the conflict appeared “mired in stalemate.” In 1973, members of the American Indian Movement occupied the hamlet of Wounded Knee in South Dakota, the site of the 1890 massacre of Sioux men, women and children. (The occupation lasted until May.) In 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, President George H.W. Bush declared that “Kuwait is liberated, Iraq’s army is defeated,” and announced that the allies would suspend combat operations at midnight, Eastern time.
Caterpillar fire contained Staff Reports
No one was injured during a Thursday morning fire at Caterpillar Inc. on Cardinal Drive. “It was pretty much out when we arrived,” said Corinth Fire Chief Billy “Lucky” Briggs of the fire, which happened around 6:50 a.m. According to a statement released by Caterpillar’s Barbara Cox, the facility returned to normal operations within an hour of the incident. “It was a small, contained fire,” said Cox. “The cause is still under investigation and we are working with local authorities on the matter.”

JACKSON — Hazardous driving conditions continued over much of northern Mississippi Thursday as the remnants of a storm system lingered. At least three deaths were reported in the state. Heavy snow fell across much of north Mississippi on Wednesday. The Highway Patrol said roads would remain icy through Thursday. The Mississippi Department of Transportation suggested people stay home so plows and work crews could clear the roads. In Oxford, Lafayette County Coroner Rocky Kennedy said Fenton Kottkamp, 22, of Louisville, Kentucky, a senior at the University of Mississippi, died Wednesday after being thrown from a sled that ran into sign.

The snow blanketed power lines and turned icy, causing about 3,400 households in Lee and Itawamba counties to lose power. Crews had the outages fixed within a few hours. Trogdon said the snow on the ground will likely hang around for several days. “We are in a very abnormal weather pattern,” said Trogdon. “You will see some reduction in the snow pack Thursday but you won’t get rid of it for two to four days, especially if you have 6 or 7 inches.” Many school districts, government offices and businesses were closed again Thursday because of the snow and hazardous conditions.

Trooper Eric Henry said the child was in a car seat in the backseat. Henry said the car was traveling north when it hydroplaned, jumped across the south bound lane and hit a tree. On Tuesday, 24-year-old Tranell Epps, of Utica, was killed when his car hit a patch of ice on a bridge and slid into an 18-wheeler in Hinds County.

Between Entergy Mississippi and Tallahatchie Valley Electric Power Association, about 8,500 outages were reported there.

The weather service was forecasting some snow flurries in north Mississippi with temperatures rising into the mid-30s during the day Thursday and dropping into the lower 20s Thursday night.
House passes bill to phase out income tax BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
Mississippi House roll call on income tax phase out
Associated Press
JACKSON — The Mississippi House argued two hours Wednesday before passing an election-year proposal that could become one of the biggest tax cuts in state history if it becomes law — a plan to phase out the state’s personal income tax over the next 15 years if the economy grows. The bill passed the Republican-led House 82-32, with several Democrats voting for the bill after they criticized it and tried to change it. However, it’s unclear whether the bill, with a price tag of $1.7 billion, will survive the Senate. Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, the Senate’s presiding officer, is pushing a separate bill that would phase out the business franchise tax and give a more modest reduction in the income tax. It’s projected to cost $382 million. Supporters of House Bill 1629 say eliminating Mississippi’s income tax would stimulate economic growth. Mississippi has long been one of the poorest states in the nation, and opponents of the bill say it would further weaken the state’s ability to pay for education, transportation, health care and other government services. “It would devastate our budget,” said Rep. Jim Evans, D-Jackson, who voted against the bill. Rep. Mark Formby, R-Picayune, said eliminating the income tax over several years would reward people who work and pay for government. “It’s not an overly aggressive plan at all,” Formby said. The Senate on Tuesday passed Senate Bill 2839, Reeves’ propos-
JACKSON — The Mississippi House voted 83-32 Wednesday to pass House Bill 1629, which would phase out the state income tax over several years. Because the bill is a revenue measure, it needed a 60 percent majority to pass, or at least 69 votes. A yes vote was to pass the bill. A no vote was against passing the bill. Voting yes were 65 Republicans and 18 Democrats. Voting no were 32 Democrats. The bill goes to the Senate for more work. All three state legislators who represent portions of Alcorn County voted in favor of the bill.

Smith, Carthage; Straughter, Belzoni; Watson, Hattiesburg; Wooten, Jackson; Young, Meridian.
The House bill was filed Monday, just two days before the deadline for the House and Senate to act on the first round of tax and budget proposals during this three-month legislative session. During Wednesday’s debate,
Democratic Rep. Cecil Brown of Jackson peppered the Ways and Means Committee chairman, Republican Jeff Smith of Columbus, about whether Smith had held public hearings or consulted economic experts about the potential impact of eliminating the personal income tax. Smith said he had done neither. But Smith said letting people keep more of the money they earn could stimulate spending and boost the economy. “Your numbers don’t work,” Brown told him. Smith responded: “Gentleman, I told you I have not talked to economists.” The personal income tax is one of the largest sources of revenue to pay for schools, prisons, mental health care and other state services, generating about a quarter of state tax revenue. House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, said the House plan would trim nearly $1.4 billion in taxes in steps through 2028, pausing in any year when state revenue doesn’t grow by at least 3 percent. However, that total is based on partial collections from the 2012 calendar year, according to the state Department of Revenue. The state is projected to collect more than $1.7 billion in personal income taxes this year. Democrats on Wednesday offered 10 amendments that were all defeated, including one that would have reduced the 7 percent tax on groceries. Tax bills require a three-fifths majority to pass, so at least 69 votes were needed Wednesday. Sixty-five Republicans and 18 Democrats voted for the bill, and 32 Democrats 32 voted against it.

Corinth, Miss.
Who loves America? Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, is taking some heat – and winning praise in some quarters – for remarks he made at a private dinner last week at which he questioned President Obama’s Cal love for America. Thomas Speaking at Manhattan’s upscale “21 Club” at a gatherColumnist ing of economic conservatives hosting potential Republican presidential candidates (Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker attended this one), Giuliani said: “I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America. He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.” The White House fired back, agreeing with Giuliani that it was a horrible thing to say. Giuliani refused to retract his comment in several subsequent TV interviews, but he added that the president seems to spend more time apologizing for America and criticizing the nation he was twice elected to lead than he does praising it. That is legitimate commentary, but questioning the president’s love for America is not. This recalls the debate over the Vietnam War in the late 1960s and early ’70s. Supporters of that war said anti-war protesters didn’t love America because they were opposed to the policies of President Lyndon Johnson and later President Richard Nixon. “America, Love it or Leave it” became their favorite slogan. If you didn’t support the president in wartime, you were accused of undermining the country and not loving it as much as those who did support him. For some this smacked of idolatry. “My country, right or wrong” is a sentiment long attributed to Commodore Stephen Decatur, one of the fathers of the U.S. Navy. According to American Thinker, in 1804, he led an expedition that succeeded in freeing sailors aboard the USS Philadelphia, which had been seized by Barbary pirates off Tripoli. After scuttling the ship, Decatur later set sail for North Africa in command of nine ships that effectively destroyed the pirates’ operations and resulted in a treaty. On returning home, Decatur was celebrated as the Conqueror of Araby. At a banquet in his honor he said, “Our country! In her intercourse with foreign nations, may she always be in the right; but right or wrong, our country!” It sounds noble and arouses patriotic fervor in many hearts, but when a country is wrong, it doesn’t weaken it to say so. But in saying so, the admission and the motivation must be for the purpose of improving and strengthening the country, not belittling it, or saying that we as a nation have failed “to live up to our ideals,” which President Obama has said. There is – or ought to be – a difference between jingoistic expressions of love for America and the kind of love that can admit error while celebrating the virtues that make people want to come here. We should have a debate on what has made America great and worth loving and not on whether the president loves the country. Debate the president’s policies, yes. Ascribing motives to him gets us nowhere. (Cal Thomas’ latest book is “What Works: Common Sense Solutions for a Stronger America” is available in bookstores now.

Prayer for today Lord God, I pray that I may not neglect my soul in trying to fathom immortal life. If I may be hesitating between comfort and work, remind me of the greatness of the place which I started to reach. May I not grow weary of climbing and falter on the stair. Breathe upon me thy inspiration and love, that I may continue in faith all the way. Amen.
A verse to share Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. — 1 Chronicles 16:11

Yes, liberals are less patriotic Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani instantly became the most notorious man in America when he said at a conservative dinner in Manhattan that President Barack Obama doesn’t love America. He gamely tried to defend the remark for a few days before issuing a semi-mea culpa in The Wall Street Journal regretting his “bluntness” and saying that he “didn’t intend to question President Obama’s motives or the content of his heart.” That was probably the inevitable end-point once the words came out of his mouth, since it is an unwritten rule of American public life that only liberals are allowed to call their adversaries “unpatriotic.” Rudy Giuliani isn’t Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid, who have both unloosed the “un-American” bomb on conservative opponents without any risk of getting hounded from polite society. The reaction to Giuliani’s comment was so harsh, in part because he referred to Obama’s upbringing. This was taken as a sign that – in the wince-inducing argot of people constantly inventing a
new vocabulary for their grievances – he was “othering” Obama, or playing to fears about Rich the presiLowry dent’s past. Cue the National and Review wailing gnashing of teeth. But no “othering” is necessary. To be less patriotic than the average American doesn’t require any elaborate backstory or exotic beliefs – it is, as a matter of fact, a standard characteristic of the typical American liberal. The survey data are clear: There is a patriotism differential between the right and the left. Which doesn’t mean that liberals don’t love the country in their own fashion, but their love is not reflected in oldfashioned pride in country. A Pew Research survey last year found that 46 percent of “steadfast conservatives” believed that the U.S. stands above all other countries; only 11 percent of “solid liberals” believed the same. Seventy-two percent of steadfast conservatives said they often feel proud to be an American; only 40
percent of solid liberals said they do. Gallup headlined its write-up of a 2010 survey “One in Three Americans ‘Extremely Patriotic’: Republicans, conservatives, and seniors most likely to say so.” According to Gallup, 52 percent of Republicans and 48 percent of conservatives called themselves extremely patriotic; only 20 percent of Democrats and 19 percent of liberals did. As a general matter, patriotic sentiment becomes more attenuated the further left you go. The late distinguished philosopher Richard Rorty, hardly a McCarthyite, once wrote a New York Times op-ed titled “The Unpatriotic Academy.” He praised the left on campus for its championing of marginalized groups, before stipulating that “there is a problem with this left: it is unpatriotic. In the name of ‘the politics of difference,’ it refuses to rejoice in the country it inhabits. It repudiates the idea of a national identity, and the emotion of national pride.” Edmund Burke famously said that “to make us love our country, our country ought to be lovely.” For the left, America is lovely to
the extent it corresponds to a progressive vision of a European-style welfare state that leads from behind in international affairs and pounds its chest less about its own greatness and exceptionalism. The America it can feel proud of exists not in actuality, but in prospect, as a vessel for a distinct ideological vision. Needless to say, it is hard to pursue this project while simultaneously feeling what George Orwell, in his definition of patriotism, called “devotion to a particular place and particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world.” None of this means that questioning any particular politician’s patriotism will ever be considered in bounds – it smacks of questioning motives that are ultimately unknowable. But if Giuliani had stood up before that room of conservatives and said that liberals don’t feel about this country the way we do, he would have been on unassailable ground, and had the data to prove it.

Malingerers draw criticism, but why blame them? OXFORD — What state Rep. Gene Alday put in words earlier this month struck a chord with many. They believe America in 2015 is a place where a decreasing number of people work to support themselves and their families and are forced to support an increasing number who are shiftless and lazy — yet have cars, homes, plenty of food, health care, vastly more children than they can afford or care for, super cell phones and plenty of frou-frou including the latest in clothing and jewelry designs. Too, rather than being humble, grateful and striving to get off public assistance, legions of malingerers project a defiant “in your face” posture, even calling wage earners out as suckers. To his discredit, Alday, a Republican and former mayor of Walls, also injected race. “I come from a town where all the blacks are getting food stamps and what I call ‘welfare crazy checks.’ They don’t work,” he is reported to have told Jerry Mitchell, who writes with depth and perspective about Mississippi for The ClarionLedger in Jackson. Alday didn’t have his facts on race. Black people, as a percentage of welfare re-

cipients, have been declining since 2001. In the big picture, blaming people who line up for giveaways is disingenuous for at least three
real reasons. One is that Alday lives and works in Mississippi, and this state is addicted to the dole as much as any of its citizens. As much as many crow about how awful the federal government is, the fact remains that taxpayers of the other 49 states keep Mississippi’s money boat afloat. President Obama could strike a major blow for fiscal responsibility by kicking us out of the union. Another is that people who game welfare programs and then rock back for a life of “freebies” (1) did not create the systems that nourish them and (2) don’t manage the criteria, either. The banquet has been set. They were duly invited. All they’re doing is showing up to eat. Yes, cheats, liars, people using fake names and IDs defraud the state and federal government for benefits. But
instead of working to eliminate fraud (perhaps by creating opportunity), the Legislature passes such measures as 2014’s provision to drugtest selected welfare (TANF) applicants. How’s that working? Who knows? In Florida and Missouri about one of 50 applicants tested positive. It cost those states more to test than if they’d just let the druggies in the program. And that brings us to this, the crucial point in fingerpointing at all the cheats: They get the benefits, not the money. Please think about that: They get the benefits, not the money. Rent vouchers go landlords. Medicaid payments go to hospitals, nursing homes and doctors. Food stamp (SNAP) cash goes to supermarkets. Free school lunch money goes to wholesalers and growers. Cell phone and other utility companies are guaranteed payments when a customer is deemed benefit-eligible. Get it? The poor have no clout in the halls of the Legislature. Those who serve the poor — sell them goods and services — have major clout. While they may “attaboy” Rep. Alday’s sentiments in public, if any aid program is eliminated, trimmed or even policed better in terms of establishing and maintain-

ing eligibility, it will hit these folks in the wallet. Fortunately for those who prefer facts to hyperbole, there are numbers. They are real. Some are disconcerting. From 2007 through 2012, Mississippi experienced a 52.4 percent increase to 672,441 SNAP beneficiaries. While that rate of increase was well below the national 74 percent increase during the same time, Mississippi is second only to Washington, D.C., in the proportion of residents getting food aid. The figure is at 22.4 percent. That means one in four Mississippians get help buying groceries. In 1990, the USDA’s National School Lunch Program cost $3.7 billion. For last fiscal year $11.3 billion. Alday and others are right in observing that no economy is sustainable if too many take and not enough give. But fixing any of this is not nearly as easy as sitting back and tossing grenades, especially race grenades, at people who are poor or who pretend to be helpless. They are the symptom, not the disease. (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist. Write to him at cmitchell43@yahoo. com.)

2 llamas lassoed after running amok PHOENIX — Two quick-footed llamas dashed in and out of traffic in a Phoenix-area retirement community before they were captured by authorities Thursday, causing a stir in the streets and on social media. A large, white llama and a smaller black llama darted through the streets of Sun City during the lunch hour. Cars and golf carts stopped in their tracks because of the wayward livestock. The fugitive llamas were part of a trio that were making a therapy visit to residents at a senior assisted living facility. Their televised breakout from GenCare SunCity at The Carillons quickly inspired a Twitter account and several hashtags including #LlamasonTheLoose, #llamadrama and #TEAMLLAMAS.
Medical pot plan passes test in Utah
RALEIGH, N.C. — People in small communities may get better, cheaper access to the Internet after the Federal Communications Commission ruled Thursday that cityowned broadband services can expand into areas overlooked by commercial providers. The decision quietly played out minutes before the FCC took up the higher-profile issue of Internet neutrality, which imposed the toughest rules yet on broadband providers like Comcast, Verizon and AT&T. In the less prominent case, the cities of Wilson, North Carolina, and Chattanooga, Tennessee, asked the FCC to override state laws that have prevented them from expanding their super-fast Internet networks. They were built when companies didn’t move into their city. President Barack Obama pushed for the FCC’s decision, saying the state laws stifled competition and economic development. U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, both Republicans, quickly introduced legislation to block the FCC move.
Internet providers get tougher rules WASHINGTON — Internet activists declared victory over the nation’s big cable companies Thursday, after the Federal Communications Commission voted to impose the toughest rules yet on broadband service to prevent companies like Comcast, Verizon and AT&T from creating paid fast lanes and slowing or blocking web traffic. The 3-2 vote ushered in a new era of government oversight for an industry that has seen relatively little. It represents the biggest regulatory shake-up to telecommunications providers in almost two decades. The new rules require that any company providing a broadband connection to your home or phone must act in the “public interest” and refrain from using “unjust or unreasonable” business practices.

SALT LAKE CITY — A panel of Utah lawmakers gave initial approval Thursday to a proposal that would allow residents of the conservative state who have chronic and debilitating diseases to consume edible medical marijuana products. The legislation forbids the smoking of marijuana, but allows businesses to grow marijuana and sell pot-infused products such as brownies, candy and lozenges. A Senate committee voted 3-2 to approve the bill and send it to the full Senate after a nearly two-hour debate about the legal and moral dangers of allowing a medical marijuana program in the heavily Mormon state. Woods Cross Republican Sen. Todd Weiler said he recently traveled to Nevada, where a medical marijuana law has passed and he saw a billboard with a giant pot leaf on it. Saratoga Springs Republican Sen. Mark Madsen, who sponsored the bill, said if the state can push past years of propaganda and misunderstanding surrounding the drug, it would bring compassion and freedom to those who are suffering.
FCC allows Internet providers to expand
Across the State
The goal is to prevent providers from striking deals with content providers like Google, Netflix or Twitter to move their data faster. “Today is a redletter day for Internet freedom,” said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, whose remarks at Thursday’s meeting frequently prompted applause by Internet activists in the audience. President Barack Obama, who had come out in favor of net neutrality in the fall, portrayed the decision as a victory for democracy in the digital age. In an online letter, he thanked the millions who wrote to the FCC and spoke out on social media in support of the change. “Today’s FCC decision will protect innovation and create a level playing field for the next generation of entrepreneurs — and it wouldn’t have happened without Americans like you,” he wrote.
Obama foundation hints at library site WASHINGTON — The foundation developing Barack Obama’s future presidential library has commissioned polling in Chicago to determine whether residents support building it on the South Side, people close to the foundation said, in the clearest sign to date that the library likely will go to the University of Chicago. Two Chicago schools and one each in New York and Honolulu are in the running for the library and presidential museum, and Obama is set to pick a winner within weeks. But recently, the focus has shifted decidedly to the University of Chicago’s bid — and a public spat with a conservation group over the elite school’s proposal to build on city park property. Aiming to counter the vocal opposition from park advocates, the Barack Obama Foundation earlier this month enlisted a prominent Democratic pollster who worked on both of Obama’s presidential campaigns. Cornell Belcher of the polling firm Brilliant Corners surveyed more than 600 Chicagoans on the South Side to gauge their opinion on the library and the use of park land, said the individuals.

More jump into north congressional race JACKSON — Three candidates say they’re running for an open U.S. House seat in north Mississippi, and more could enter the race. The 1st District seat has been vacant since Feb. 6, when Republican Rep. Alan Nunnelee died of brain cancer. Candidates face a March 27 deadline to qualify for the nonpartisan special election, which is May 12. If a runoff is needed, it will be June 2. Candidates so far are state Sen. Nancy Collins of Tupelo, District Attorney Trent Kelly of Saltillo and attorney Quentin Whitwell of Oxford, who previously served on the Jackson City Council. State Rep. Chris Brown of Aberdeen said Tuesday that he would run. But, he said Thursday that he’s out of the race because his father is retiring and he needs to spend more time with the family’s three recreational vehicle dealerships. Nunnelee served 15 years in the state Senate before he unseated Democratic U.S. Rep. Travis Childers in 2010. The 1st District includes Southaven, Oxford, Tupelo, Iuka, Columbus and Louisville. Collins, 67, was elected to the state Senate in a 2011 special election to succeed Nunnelee. She was founding president of Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo. “Our nation is in a precarious state,” Collins said Wednesday in a news release announcing her candidacy. “Our identity and existence is threatened, and the foundation upon which we were formed is cracked.”
Plaintiff in marriage suit runs for auditor JACKSON — One of the plaintiffs who filed a federal lawsuit challenging Mississippi’s ban on same-sex marriage is running for state auditor. Jocelyn Pritchett of Jackson sent an advisory Thursday saying she will announce her candidacy Friday at the state Capitol. Pritchett goes by her nickname, Joce. She is a civil engineer and owns Pritchett Engineering and Planning LLC in Flowood. Pritchett will face retired firefighter Charles Graham of Jackson in the Democratic primary. Auditor Stacy Pickering of Laurel is seeking a third term. He’s being challenged in the Republican primary by Mary Hawkins Butler, the longtime mayor of Madison. Friday is the deadline for candidates to qualify for this year’s statewide, regional and legislative offices in Mississippi.
McDaniel seeks 3rd term in state Senate JACKSON — Chris McDaniel, a tea party-
backed Republican who lost a U.S. Senate race last year, says he’s seeking re-election to the Mississippi Legislature. The 43-year-old attorney from Ellisville said Thursday that he will run for a third term in state Senate. He’s the first candidate in District 42, entirely in Jones County. Friday is the qualifying deadline for statewide, regional and legislative races. McDaniel lost to longtime U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran in the 2014 Republican primary, but never conceded. McDaniel filed a lawsuit to try to overturn the results, saying Democrats had improperly helped decide the Republican nominee. The state Supreme Court agreed with a circuit judge who said McDaniel waited too long to file the suit.
Four sites added to historic register JACKSON — The National Register of Historic Places has added four new sites from Mississippi: A cemetery, a country club, a church and a historic district. The state Department of Archives and History says the U.S. Department of the Interior approved the new listings. Canton Cemetery in Madison County was established in 1853. It includes graves of Confederate soldiers and members of Congregation B’nai Israel. Columbia Country Club in Marion County was built in 1923 and is a well-preserved example of early 20th century golf course layout. Wesson Presbyterian Church in Copiah County was built in 1877 in the Gothic Revival style.
TUPELO — David Wilson, the current president of Shelby Baptist Hospital in Alabaster, Alabama, has been named president of the North Mississippi Medical Center. Wilson will begin his new job on March 30 in Tupelo. The 50-year-old Wilson is the southern market leader for the Birmingham-based Baptist Health System, a four-hospital system.

As I sit writing on this Wednesday night, Mississippi remains in the throes of a winter storm warning. Of course, I’m inside, warm, full of homemade chili and sweet snow c r e a m . F r o m where I sit at my laptop, I can Stacy see outside Jones my long, vertical The w i n d o w s Dowtowner snowflakes still meandering through the night air, as they have been doing for the past five hours. I had been so excited about the impending snow storm that had been touted for days that I decided to write about that topic, as writing is generally better when one is excited about a subject. However, I also know that many people are tired of the icy weather that has plagued the mid-South for the past week. It was impossible to peruse Facebook without seeing complaints about the winter weather. In addition, some parents expressed frustration at having to rearrange schedules to accommodate children who were out of school. Some were critical of teachers having “snow days” while most everyone else had to work. As a teacher, and I will say that yes, the first day or two — or three — are highly enjoyable, but after a while, we get a bit frustrated because we know the lessons our students are missing and how difficult it will be to regain momentum upon return. However, we are subject to the weather and the administrative decisions made for us. This last weather forecast — and finally, receipt of said forecast — set me to thinking, though, about how technology has changed the way we interact in the last couple of decades. Although we have had weather forecasts of some sort for the past century and a half, only since the advent of the Internet and the smart phone has the plebeian had immediate availability of those forecasts in his or her pocket or bag. Thus, we have now gained a stealthy anticipation of winter weather days before it arrives, but we have lost the element of surprise. I can remember the excitement of waking up to a hearty snow as a child, anticipating going outside to play in it or gather some to make snow cream.
Through social media, we can also share our own personal experiences regarding weather—which generally dominates said media when snow or ice is predicted. As someone who reverts to the enthusiasm of a child when the potential for snow is mentioned, I enjoy seeing others’ photos and videos. Yet I don’t understand the frustration, as I could go for days before tiring of snow. During this past round, I posted some photos and videos of my own on Facebook. It was interesting because most of my friends in McNairy County, including my colleagues, had received no snow when it was steadily falling late Wednesday afternoon in Corinth. Of course, I had already seen photos and videos from friends in Tupelo, where it arrived even earlier in the day. Then I saw a photo of someone’s snow cream posted on social media. As I hadn’t had any snow cream since I was a child, I used my smart phone to search for the ingredients and proceeded that evening in the slush to the grocery store. After devouring a bowl of snow sweetened with condensed milk and flavored with vanilla extract, I posted a photo of my version of the homemade delicacy on social media. Now I sit typing a story about my experience, which I will shortly send across the portal of cyberspace to my newspaper editor via e-mail for publication two days after it has been written. I will save the story in my Dropbox, which syncs and is accessible on any device in the ubiquitous figurative “cloud.” It’s quite a different experience from even ten years ago. So now that the literal clouds are moving out, I’ll stop musing about weather and technology. The snow has now stopped in the duration of my writing, but the sugary snow cream I ate earlier tonight is making me sleepy, and I want to harness my childhood enthusiasm and enjoy the natural beauty before I go to bed because it will probably melt tomorrow. Technology may have significantly changed our interactions, but some things remain the same.

Mississippi high court justices dislike delay

Associated Press
Two Mississippi Supreme Court justices said Thursday that the court should find the state’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional and not wait for a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court. Their 26-page state-
ment, written by Justice Leslie D. King and joined by Justice James Kitchens, was attached to an order by a six-member court majority. The order seeks more briefs on the question of whether a same-sex couple legally married in an-

other jurisdiction can get a divorce in Mississippi. Justice David Chandler objected to more briefs, saying there is no need to delay a ruling that the divorce cannot be granted under Mississippi’s constitution. King agreed there should be no delay, but he and Kitchens said the same-sex marriage ban should be struck down and the divorce should proceed.

Sleepwalker’s restless habit has turned into a nightmare D E A R ABBY: I am engaged to “Tony,” whom I have known since first grade. We live with his Abigail mother unthe same Van Buren der roof, but in separate Dear Abby rooms. Tony is perfect in every way except one: He’s a restless sleeper. Sometimes he wakes up shouting. He has fallen down the stairs and woken up in different rooms. He talks in his sleep as well. I thought I could live with it, but a month ago things changed. I came home late and he was sleeping downstairs. I think he thought I was an intruder. He woke up and ran at me. He started trying to hit me and was shouting. I was screaming and crying, “Honey!” over and over to wake him up. He says he would never hurt me, but when he ran at me, it was clear he didn’t recognize me. For a week after that, I slept with a barricade against my door. Now I’m terrified of him when he’s asleep. I know it’s only a matter of time before we move out on our own and will be
sleeping in the same room, or trying. How can I get over this fear or help him to sleep more soundly? -- COWERING IN CALIFORNIA DEAR COWERING: You can help your fiance by getting him to a sleep disorder specialist, because that’s his problem. Frankly, I am surprised he hasn’t seen one before now. His doctor can refer him, or he can go online to find one near you. Please don’t wait until something like this happens again, or he hurts himself falling down stairs while sleepwalking. DEAR ABBY: We are a group of 10 friends, all retirees from the same large organization. We meet for lunch every few weeks and enjoy talking amongst ourselves about people we knew and situations that took place in our old jobs. A supervisor many of us had work issues with is about to retire. We are concerned that it’s only a matter of time until she approaches us and wants to join our lunch group. We have thought about saying it’s “looseknit” and “we have no formal time or place,” but that’s not exactly true, and we’re sure she wouldn’t be deterred by that. I wish I had the nerve to tell her the group is for us rank-and-file employees -- no supervisors allowed. Because we may run into
her from time to time once she is retired, we want to be gracious but assertive about our refusal to have her join us. Advice? -- GROUP MEMBER IN THE SOUTH DEAR GROUP MEMBER: If the woman approaches you (keep in mind that your worries may not materialize and you may not be asked), remember she’s no longer your supervisor and can no longer affect your life in any way. If she asks if she can join you, you should tell her no. And if she asks why, explain it to her exactly as you explained it to me. It’s the truth. (As we sow, so shall we reap.) DEAR ABBY: Does a male in his own home, walking around bare-chested, have to put a shirt on when someone is going to enter the home from the outside? -- DAVE IN FLORIDA DEAR DAVE: If there is any question that the person entering your home might be offended, out of consideration, you should cover up. A close friend or family member might not mind, but it’s better to err on the side of caution. 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). In some cultures, subordinates check in with their superiors before making any decision at all. You would rather not have this dynamic. Each person empowered to do their thing independently -- that’s what works for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). All over the world, when people fold their arms in front of their chest, it means they feel defensive. It’s usually a mild barrier, and when you see it, you’ll work a little harder to get someone to open up. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s only one like you; therefore, you needn’t worry about saying something that’s never been said before. Even if you repeat someone else’s message, you’ll personalize it in a way that’s all you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Because of your stellar work ethic, if you spend time following, enjoying and studying your idols, it feels like you are loafing off. That couldn’t be further from the truth. This is how you
get inspired. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Theoretically, the sun is in the process of setting just after it reaches its highest point in the sky. But those pretty colors splashed across the horizon only last a few minutes. It will be lucky, inspiring and love-attracting to watch the sunset. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Before you get discouraged or start spending money on the unnecessary, there are resources right under your nose that you haven’t tapped yet. Think about who you know and who they know. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are so connected to a certain someone that you can understand what each other needs without a verbal exchange. And when you want to talk, you can say everything without saying much. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Truth be told, you don’t always play to win. Sometimes it’s more polite, fair or kind to let someone else win. You’ll assess today’s opponent with an
open heart. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you interact with someone while he or she is in a bad mood, this person will associate you with this negative state of mind in the future. That’s why, when you see a dark cloud, you should turn the other way. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Before you take advice, check credentials. Is your adviser using the same strategy and winning? You could potentially waste a lot of time following the wrong person, so be careful! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your naturally affable personality will attract many, some of them needy, and you don’t have an unlimited amount of time for socializing. But you don’t have to be friends with everyone to be friendly to everyone. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Just as reading happens in a different part of the brain than television watching, each event of the day touches your mind differently, thus shaping your creativity in a totally unique way.

Time for TJX? posting strong results. For the fiscal year ended in January, the retailer reported revenue of $29.1 billion, a 6 percent increase over the year prior. Its profit climbed to $2.2 billion, up from $2.1 billion. Even so, analysts are expressing some caution. In a note to clients, Richard Jaffe of Stifel acknowledged the impact of payroll costs and a strengthening U.S. dollar on the retailer’s earnings, but wrote that he remains positive about its long-term outlook, referring to TJX as “the largest and dominant player in the off-price market.�
Higher salaries are great for workers but a potential earnings hit for employers. TJX Cos., the parent of T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods stores said this week that it plans to boost pay for its U.S. workers to at least $9 per hour starting in June. That’s a significant expense but Wall Street analysts have generally taken the news in stride. Shares of TJX rose to a 52-week high of $69.87 following the announcement. That’s because TJX is 250%

Economists expect that the index, a gauge of business activity, slipped this month to 58.2, the lowest level since July and down from a reading of 59.5 a year ago. An index reading above 50 indicates economic activity is growing. Readings below 50 indicate the economy is contracting.

A barometer of future home purchases should provide insight into how U.S. home sales may fare this spring. The National Association of Realtors reports today its pending home sales index for January. The December index fell 3.7 percent to 100.7. A one- to two-month lag usually exists between a contract and a completed sale. Lackluster wage growth and rising home prices stifled buying for much of 2014. Will the January index point to improving sales?

PICKLES
Dear Annie: I’ve been married to “Lily” for 15 years, and we have two teenagers. We’ve built a good life. But Lily is an unhappy person. And while I’ve not been an angel, she never acknowledges that her unhappiness contributes to our problems. She walks around with a chip on her shoulder. Lily is a stay-at-home mom, but she does no cooking and the house is a mess. She’s made it clear that when I want to speak to her, I need to do it when she’s not reading, surfing the Internet or watching TV. Even though I have to get up at 4 a.m., she insists on doing puzzles in bed with the light on. When I return home, she never greets me. I have to go over to the sofa where she is sitting in order to give her a kiss hello, which annoys her because I’m disturbing her TV watching. When Lily is immersed in a project (family genealogy, high school reunion, whatever), she neglects the entire family and sees nothing wrong with it. While she does not want me associating with any friends I had prior to our marriage, she regularly entertains her ex-husband (when I’m out of town), dresses up for him and cooks dinner for him. Yet she is outrageously jealous of any female I associate with, even a colleague.
Annie’s Mailbox I could barely tolerate this when Lily was on antidepressants, but she stopped a year ago, and things got worse. She’d scream at me and our youngest daughter for no reason. She became paranoid that I was having an affair and, with no evidence, declared herself a victim of infidelity and asked for a divorce. So I met with a divorce lawyer and was surprised to hear from a large number of friends and family who were past targets of Lily’s screaming fits and were willing to say so in court. I’ve asked Lily to go for counseling, but she refuses. She stopped seeing the last counselor when he said she needed to work on herself. Things have settled down because she’s on another project and ignoring us. But I worry about what she’s doing to our youngest daughter. Would it be wrong to research how to have her committed? -- Frightened for My Girls Dear Frightened: That seems extreme. Lily sounds severely depressed and possibly bipolar. The right medica-
tion and therapy could do wonders for her, but she has to be willing. Your girls are nearly adults. A better option for you might be divorce and custody. A judge could mandate therapy for Lily as a condition of seeing her children. Meanwhile, please contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness (nami.org) for information and referrals. Dear Annie: I am friends with an out-of-state couple who visit me briefly twice a year. I’ve known them for decades, and we share many good memories. Since my husband’s death, they feel the need to instruct me on how to handle everything in my life, including home maintenance, personal relationships and the brand of computer I use. When they leave, I am exhausted. They mean well, but I am capable and independent. How do I tactfully tell them to butt out? -- Baffled in Boston Dear Baffled: If you cannot tolerate their intrusive bossiness twice a year, it’s time to say, “I appreciate your concerns, but I’m managing very well, thanks.” Repeat as needed, and ignore the rest.

Lady Aggies win thriller on the road BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
It took three tries, but the Kossuth Lady Aggies are one game away from the State Tournament. After having their first-round contest postponed on Monday and Wednesday, the Lady Aggies went on the road and advanced to Saturday’s secondround contest with a 64-63 win at Kemper County. Kossuth (21-11) will play either North Panola or Ruleville Central with the winner advancing to the newly formatted eight-team State Tournament. As the No. 3 seed from Division 1-3A, Kossuth would travel to Division 2 champion Ruleville Central, but host North Panola -- the fourth
seed from Division 3. Kossuth led 19-13 after one period and 31-28 at half against the runners-up from Division 4. A 22-point third quarter, highlighted by 11 of Parrish Tice’s game-high 25 points, increased Kossuth’s lead to 53-47 heading into the final period. Kemper County (13-14) tallied 16 points and held Kossuth to its lowestscoring quarter of the night to get back in the contest. The Lady Aggies didn’t help their own cause by missing all four of their free-throw attempts in the quarter. With the game tied at 62, Nekeida Rencher went 1-of3 from the charity strip after being fouled on a 3-point attempt. Kasey McKee answered on the other end, with
her second field goal of the night to put the Lady Aggies up 64-63 with about 20 seconds left. McKee rebounded Kemper County’s missed shot on the ensuing possession, giving KHS the ball length of the floor with 10.6 second remaining after the Lady Wildcats committed their sixth foul of the half. Kossuth turned the ball over on the inbound pass, giving Kemper County possession under its own goal with 8.6 seconds remaining. Tice, who scored Kossuth’s first 10 points of the game, got a hand on the potential gamewinning shot in the lane to help preserve the victory. Cheyenne Daniel added 18 points, nearly evenly split
among the halves. Both teams had six threepointers, with Kossuth holding a 60-52 advantage from the floor. KC was 11-of-18 from the line, while Kossuth was just 4-of-9.

Hardy seeking reinstatement from NFL The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy is seeking immediate reinstatement from the NFL after a federal judge cleared way for Adrian Peterson’s return to the league. The former Ole Miss player’s agent Drew Rosenhaus said Thursday, “We are working very closely with the NFLPA on this process.”
The Associated Press
OXFORD — Kenny Gaines scored 22 points and Marcus Thornton added 18 points and 13 rebounds to lead Georgia to a 76-72 victory over Ole Miss on Wednesday night. Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy was not pleased with his team’s intensity in their third Southeastern Conference loss at home this season. “I’m so sick and tired of

Hardy “hasn’t been disciplined,” McCarthy said. “There is nothing for him to seek reinstatement from at Please see HARDY | 11A
being the most energetic guy in the building,” Kennedy said. “It’s wearing on me. I know our guys care, but they certainly show it in a different manner.” Georgia (18-9, 9-6 SEC) shot 37 percent from the field (23-of-62) and hit 11-of-23 3-pointers. “Ole Miss is a good team,” Georgia head coach Mark Fox said. “We really felt like
after losing two home games already this season that we were going to have to come in here and play catch up.” Gaines was 8-of-15 from the floor and 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. “He shot the ball well,” Fox said. “And he played some good defense. He’s been ill, but he’s getting better. We knew he was going to need to have a bigger game tonight.”
Nemanja Djurisic scored 17 points on 5-of-13 shooting and also hit 4 3-pointers. Ole Miss (19-9, 10-5 SEC) struggled from the field, particularly beyond the arc. The Rebels were 0-for-7 on 3-point attempts in the first half, 6-of-29 for the game. “They were really locked in, and we can’t ever seem to Please see DUO | 11A

He appealed and had both charges dismissed Feb. 9 when his accuser couldn’t be located to testify. A federal judge opened the

STARKVILLE — On a roster full of superstars, top-ranked Kentucky’s Trey Lyles often is an afterthought. At least for one night, the 6-foot-10 freshman gave a glimpse of how important he could be for the Wildcats in their quest for an undefeated season and national championship. Lyles scored a careerhigh 18 points in Kentucky’s 74-56 victory over Mississippi
State on Wednesday night, sending the Wildcats to a 28-0 record. Coach John Calipari said Lyles — who added six rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot — hasn’t even come close to his full potential. “He should have had 25 points today, but I thought he played well,” Calipari said. “I still think at the end of the day he’ll be the X-factor for us.” Aaron Harrison added 16
for Kentucky (15-0 Southeastern Conference), the only remaining undefeated team in the country. Kentucky’s 28-game winning streak is the second longest in school history, trailing only a 32-game run that stretched from 1953 to 1955. It’s the longest in a single season for the program, topping a 27-game streak during the 1995-96 season. The Wildcats had to work a little for this one, leading
just 41-37 with 15:10 remaining. But they responded with an avalanche of points down the stretch — punctuated by a thunderous dunk by KarlAnthony Towns — to turn the contest into another convincing blowout. Calipari said the game was more evidence of how good his team can be with the proper mindset. “I just told the guys, ‘Look, I Please see KENTUCKY | 11A

this point. His case remains under review.” The 6-foot-4, 275-pound Hardy will become an unrestricted free agent March 10. The NFL filed a petition in North Carolina court on Feb. 13 to have the protective order lifted from Hardy’s original trial last July in which he was convicted on the two counts of domestic violence. McCarthy said at the time the league is asking the courts to allow them to inspect and copy all material from the original bench trial. Doty’s ruling Thursday could be good news for Hardy. Like Peterson, Hardy’s incident came before NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell decided to toughen his stance domestic violence. The NFL’s new policy calls for a six-game suspension for first-time violations involving assault, sexual assault and domestic violence. Previously, first-time offenders typically received two-game suspensions. Hardy tied a Carolina
franchise record with 15 sacks in 2013 and was named to his first Pro Bowl. In Hardy’s appeal case, Mecklenburg County district attorney Andrew Murray said that law enforcement had taken “extraordinary” measures to find the woman so that she could testify during the appeal. He said they took surveillance of her new address, attempted to find her at work and tried to contact relatives but couldn’t locate her. Prosecutors spoke to the woman in October and November and that “during those conversations the victim expressed that she did not want to participate in another trial.” The Associated Press generally does not name victims of abuse. The woman testified on July 15 that she was scared of Hardy and worried about her safety if she went to police. She also testified that Hardy threw her in the bathroom and later onto a futon filled with guns. She said he placed his hands on her throat and threatened to kill her.

manufacture offense out of the gate,” Kennedy said. “It was back forth, and then we let Gaines get loose.” Georgia led for all but 29 seconds of the game. They led 34-23 at the half. The Bulldogs were able to split the Ole Miss defense consistently, winning the assist battle 17-10. And scoring 15 second-chance points. “They hurt on second shots,” Kennedy said. “They did a really good job of making the extra pass.” But the contest was far from one-sided. Ole Miss kept pace throughout, and with 4:33 to play a Stefan Moody 3-pointer trimmed the Georgia lead to 2 points before
the Rebel rally ran out of steam. “When it’s your time to make a play, you have to step up,” Kennedy said. “Georgia made plays down stretch, and they deserved to win.” Moody led the Rebels with 19 points on 5-of-16 shooting, but was only 2-of-11 from beyond the arc. Jarvis Summers added 13 points. Sebastian Saiz had 12 points and 13 rebounds, and Terence Smith chipped in 11 points. “I talk to them, I try to motivate them,” Saiz said. Georgia has now won four straight over Ole Miss. This is Fox’s team’s second road win in as many tries after winning an overtime game at Alabama on Saturday.

They know what we want them to do.” Mississippi State (1216, 5-10) has lost eight in a row to the Wildcats. Fred Thomas led the Bulldogs with 14 points. Craig Sword added 10. Lyles, who hit 7 of 12 shots, missed three games earlier in the month because of an illness, but has bounced back. “I was just being ag-
gressive and attacking the basket,” Lyles said. Kentucky has appeared unstoppable of late, especially during a 110-75 rout of Auburn on Saturday. And the Wildcats had some more spectacular moments on Wednesday, including two alleyoop dunks finished by Lyles in the opening four minutes. But Kentucky looked slightly mortal for most of the first half, letting a 14-point lead evaporate to 33-27. Tyler Ulis hit a 3-pointer just before the halftime buzzer to push the Wildcats’ advantage to 36-27.

South Carolina women whip Mississippi St. The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Tiffany Mitchell had another player-of-the-year performance to bring No. 2 South Carolina another Southeastern Conference title. The Gamecocks, behind Mitchell’s 16 points, ran past No. 11 Mississippi State 69-50 on Thursday night to remain perfect in the SEC and clinch a share of the crown they won for the first time a year ago. Then a sophomore, Mitchell was voted SEC player of the year — and has done little to give away that title this season. “I don’t think there’s anybody in this league that can do what she does on the offensive and defensive side of the ball,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said with pride. That was apparent. She had seven straight points as South Carolina (27-1, 15-0 SEC) took control with an 18-5 run with less than six minutes left in the opening half. Mitchell had two of her three steals in that stretch, which saw the Gamecocks go from ahead three points to up by 16 at 39-23. “It’s a great feeling to clinch a share” of the SEC title, Mitchell said. “But like coach Staley says, I’m greedy.
I don’t want to share.” South Carolina (27-1, 15-0 SEC) can win the title outright Sunday — and match the 2011 Tennessee team as the only 16-0 champs in SEC history — with a win at No. 13 Kentucky. They would also claim the crown alone should the Lady Vols fall Sunday against Vanderbilt. No matter what happens, South Carolina heads to next week’s SEC tournament as the No. 1 seed and team to beat. Staley’s biggest worry? Avoiding the letdown that took place a year ago after wrapping up the SEC championship. The Gamecocks lost the next game at Tennessee and got bounced out earlier than expected in the SEC tournament and at the NCAAs as a No. 1 seed. “I think for where our program is trying to go, it would take a step in the wrong direction if we don’t take care of business on the road against Kentucky,” Staley said. The Bulldogs (25-5, 105) could not cut the lead to fewer than 10 points after South Carolina’s decisive run. Victoria Vivians and LaKaris Salter had 14 points each to lead Mississippi State. The Bulldogs were held to their fewest points this
season and shot less than 35 percent from the field for the third time in their past five games. Salter, a freshman forward, gave Mississippi State a jolt as she hit four of five 3-pointers after entering in the final six minutes. Bulldogs coach Vic Schaefer was disappointed by his team’s shortcoming, but admired South Carolina’s physical style. “That’s my kind of team,” he said. “I told the referees, ‘I wish you didn’t have to call’” any fouls. South Carolina’s A’ja Wilson, the 6-foot-5 forward contending with Vivians for SEC freshman of the year, had 13 points and seven rebounds. Alaina Coates, last year’s league freshman of the year, added 10 points and seven boards. Mitchell also had four rebounds, three steals, two assists and a blocked shot.
Hard fall South Carolina senior forward Aleighsa Welch, who had 19 points and 14 rebounds in Monday night’s win over No. 6 Tennessee, was shaken up after a hard fall to the court. She went to the locker room briefly before re-
turning to action. Staley said Welch will probably be sore Friday, but it should not keep her from playing at Kentucky.
Senior night Little-used reserve Olivia Gaines got her second career start — she’s one of three seniors for South Carolina — and answered in a big way with a career-high nine points in 22 minutes. She also played stellar defense on Vivians, forcing her into several early missed shots as the Gamecocks moved in front.
Tip ins Mississippi State: The Bulldogs have set records for most wins in a season (25) and most road wins (seven). Their 10 SEC victories are tied for the most in school history. South Carolina: The Gamecocks have won 32 straight at home, tying the school record set between 1977 and 1980.
Up next Mississippi State: Closes the regular season at home Sunday against state rival Mississippi. South Carolina: Last regular-season game Sunday at No. 13 Kentucky.

February’s Winter Wonderland The past nine days have been interesting in the Crossroads area with an ice storm that created hazardous driving, power outages, and tree damage, closed schools and businesses, and postponed basketball games. That weather event was followed by snowfall that left from 1 to 3 inches of snow, more slick highways, county roads and city streets, and closed schools and businesses. The two weather events also provided for some pretty winter wonderland scenes, especially after the ice hung around for several days. The snow photos were taken early Friday morning at the Fillmore Street Chapel and Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. The ice photos were taken Feb. 19-20 at First Baptist Church in Corinth and near Corinth Elementary School.

Religion Briefs Associated Press
Church: Missionary kidnapped from Nigerian compound SEATTLE — An American missionary has been kidnapped in Nigeria, according to her sponsoring denomination. The Free Methodist Church says on its website that it received a report Monday that the Rev. Phyllis Sortor was kidnapped from the Hope Academy compound in Emiworo. The message from Bishop David Kendall says U.S. officials are working with Nigerian authorities to find and rescue her. Kidnappings for ransom are common in Nigeria and most victims are returned unharmed. According to the church website, Sortor works with a child sponsorship ministry and recently opened a school for the children of Fulani herdsmen, who are Muslim. The Rev. Brenda Young, lead pastor with Cornerstone Free Methodist Church in Akron, Ohio, says she’s been working with Sortor on projects to get clean drinking water to people in Nigeria. Young says she’s sure that Sortor “will handle herself as a follower of Christ, as a lover of people and as a loyal American.”
Pope awards high church honor to Armenian mystic St. Gregory VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has declared St. Gregory of Narek, a 10thcentury mystic and poet revered by Armenian Catholics, a doctor of the church. Monday’s designation of one of the highest church honors on an Armenian monk comes a few weeks before Francis celebrates a Mass to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turks that some call the first genocide of the 20th century. The title of doctor of the church is reserved for people whose writings have greatly served the universal church. Gregory, who lived around 950 to 1005, is considered one of the most important figures of medieval Armenian religious thought and literature.
N.C. considers exempting some from gay-marriage duties RALEIGH, N.C. — Some North Carolina lawmakers say court officials should be exempt from carrying out
duties related to marrying gay couples that would conflict with their religious beliefs. Legislation has been introduced in response to federal judges overturning the state’s gay-marriage ban in October. The measure approved Tuesday by the Senate judiciary committee allows magistrates to refuse to preside at samesex weddings. It also allows assistant and deputy registrars of deeds to not issue marriage licenses. It also prohibits them from acting in all civil marriages.
After attacks, European rabbis train in Prague self-defense PRAGUE — Rabbis from European countries have gathered in Prague for training in self-defense and first aid in a response to a wave of attacks against Jews and a rise of anti-Semitism on the continent. During Tuesday’s training sessions, dozens of rabbis were taught how to survive a stabbing and how to treat injuries. Tuesday’s training was part of an annual gathering of rabbis organized by the Rabbinical Centre of Europe and the European Jewish Association headed by Rabbi Menachem Margolin. He said European governments’ failure to protect Jews prompted them to organize the training, first in Prague, and later in other European countries.
Bakers: Same-sex wedding cake dispute about religious freedom NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Two Oregon bakers who may have to pay $150,000 in damages to a lesbian couple for refusing to bake them a wedding cake say they’re taking a stand for religious liberty. Aaron and Melissa Klein took part in a press conference Wednesday at the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville, Tennessee. The Christian bakers have said they served gays and lesbians, but could not in good conscience make a cake celebrating a same-sex wedding. Investigators for the state Bureau of Labor and Industries have recommended that the Kleins each pay $75,000 in damages. A hearing will set the amount next month. Aaron Klein told reporters he believes Christians “have an obligation to the next generation to stand up for our constitutional freedoms, not given by man but given by God.”
