The race for Alcorn County’s Mississippi State Senate representative gained an experienced candidate this week. Democrat Eric Powell filed his letter of intent on Thursday

Circuit Clerk’s office. Five new candidates turned in qualified for local posts. Republican candidate David Nunley officially declared he will vie for the highly contested Alcorn County sheriffs race. Ben Caldwell also filed Friday

Court to hear appeal in sheriff’s death case

Southern Mississippi gets OK to purchase new research vessel to Gulfport, Mississippi. The vessel will need approximately three weeks to traverse the distance. Gordon Cannon, USM’s vice president for research, said in a news release that the acquisition provides the school with a vessel that can be used by the university and other interested parties to explore the Gulf of Mexico, including further research on the BP oil spill of 2010. “Currently, there is no other oceanographic class research vessel home-ported in the northern Gulf of Mexico east of the Mississippi River,” said Monty Graham, chairman of USM’s Department of Ma-

HATTIESBURG — The University of Southern Mississippi is buying a new research vessel. The State College Board on Wednesday approved the project Wednesday on purchase of the “Point Sur” vessel from the San Jose State University Research Foundation for $1 million. Funding came in a grant from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. The vessel came to San Jose State University through a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation. It will sail from its port in Monterrey, California through the Panama Canal

rine Science. “Having this vessel in our front yard at the Port of Gulfport will not only provide valuable return to the community for understanding the Deepwater Horizon spill, but will be a prime resource should another oil spill impact Mississippi’s coastal waters.” The 135-foot Point Sur Vessel was built in 1980. It can accommodate 13 researchers and technicians, along with a crew of eight, for overnight voyages. For day cruises it has a capacity of 40 researchers. The main deck covers 1,100 square feet and includes a primary laboratory and wet laboratory.

JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court has scheduled arguments for April 14 in an appeal from a man convicted in the 2010 death of George County Sheriff Garry Welford. The state Court of Appeals upheld Christopher Lee Baxter’s conviction last year. Baxter and his girlfriend, Brandy Nicole Williams, were convicted in 2012 of capital murder. Each was sentenced to life without parole. Williams declined to testify at Baxter’s trial. The Appeals Court ordered a new trial for Williams last December. Welford was struck by a pickup truck in which Williams and Baxter were fleeing from authorities on July 21, 2010. Baxter was sought on

an arrest warrant issued after he missed a sentencing date for drug convictions. Welford, 62, was putting spikes at an intersection near the Alabama line to stop the truck and end a highspeed chase. Baxter argued if his conviction was upheld, it would be the first in Mississippi of a passenger in a truck being convicted of capital murder in a fatality. Baxter said eyewitnesses put Williams behind the wheel of the truck. Prosecutors said regardless of which one of the two was driving, Baxter and Williams were both presumably responsible under the law. They said there was evidence that Baxter was an “aider or abettor” to the crime and equally as guilty with the principal offender.

She suggests the following ideas as inspiration for team captains: ■ A Buck For Luck — During the month of March, sell shamrocks (similar to Moons and Stars) where the donor can write their name on the shamrock and it can be posted for public viewing. ■ Count Your Lucky Clovers — Fill a jar with candy four-leaf clovers (or green candy) and put it on display in a prominent area of your school or business. For a small donation (.50, $1.00, etc.) people can have a chance to win the jar. Whoever is the closest wins the candy or a prize. ■ Relay Madness —

Create a fundraiser around March madness. One idea can be for a suggested donation of $10, participants can pick their favorite teams and put them into a pool. Whoever wins from the pool gets a prize. Another idea, is to hold a Relay madness party. Sell tickets to an evening of food and enjoy watching March madness together. The world’s largest and most impactful event to stamp out cancer, The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life unites communities across the globe celebration of survivors, remembrance of loved ones lost and the fight for a cure.

McDaniel seeks 3rd term Associated Press

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. McDaniel, 43, an 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. McDaniel later formed a political action committee called United Conservatives Fund.

Standoff ends with arrest Associated Press

PICAYUNE — A standoff between law officers and a man who barricaded himself inside his Picayune home ended when deputies used tear gas to force the man out of a window. Assistant Police Chief Jeremy Magri tells The Sun Herald the standoff began Thursday morning when officers attempted a routine traffic stop, and the driver, Joseph Sumrall, refused to pull over. Magri said Sumrall fled to his

home and barricaded himself inside for several hours. He says a special response team eventually deployed tear gas canisters into the home, forcing Sumrall to surrender. Magri says Sumrall was charged with four counts of possession of a weapon by a felon, resisting arrest while fleeing and various traffic violations. Officials couldn’t provide the name of a defense attorney to comment on the charges.

about coming together to worship Jesus,” said Chewalla Baptist pastor Bro. Richard Doyle. Isbell was a fixture for several years in the area on cable television and was pastor at Hopewell Baptist in Savannah, Tenn. for over 30 years. “Christians have to be more committed to witness to the people around us,” said Bro. Randy. “I want to motivate the people to understand their need to be someone to be willing to spread their love for God.” Smithey said that all Christians do not realize how important it is for them to tell others about Jesus. “I do not think all Christians understand everyone is supposed to be an evangelist and

try to tell people about Him,” he said. A preacher who emphasizes evangelism in his church, Bostick teaches to his church members it should be a part of a Christian’s daily walk to want to share the Gospel with nonbelievers. “I want the people to understand their greatest need is salvation,” said Bostick, who has been at Oakland for 30 years. “We need to share the love of Jesus with everyone and share with them what Christ has done for us.” (For more information about the conference, check the Chewalla Baptist Church Facebook page.)

Democrat Pritchett enters race for Mississippi auditor BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Democrat Joce Pritchett of Jackson said Friday that she’s running for Mississippi state auditor because she wants to fight corruption and hold officials accountable for how they spend tax dollars. “In recent years, we have seen scandal after scandal in our counties and our state agencies because the state auditor has been asleep at the wheel. Mississippi deserves better,” Pritchett, a civil engineer, said Friday in announcing her candidacy outside the state Capitol. The two-term state auditor, Republican Stacey Pickering of Laurel, could not immediately be reached for response, but he has said his office has recovered millions of misspent public dollars. Among other things, Pickering has been working with federal authorities to investigate corruption in the state prison system. This is Pritchett’s first run for public office. She faces Charles Graham, a retired Jackson firefighter, in the Democratic primary.

Pickering is being challenged in the Republican primary by longtime Madison Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler. Party primaries are Aug. 4, and the general election is Nov. 3. Pritchett, 47, owns a Flowood-based engineering firm that has had state and county transportation contracts. “I know the laws and rules required for appropriating contracts legally and fairly,” Pritchett said. “As a small business owner, I have to carefully watch spending and balance the books each month. I believe in honest budgets and fiscal responsibility, not gimmicks or political maneuvering.” Pritchett was one of the plaintiffs who filed a federal lawsuit last year challenging Mississippi’s ban on same-sex marriage. She and her wife, Carla Webb, were married in Maine and want their marriage to receive legal recognition in Mississippi. U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves ruled in November that the ban is unconstitutional but put same-sex marriages on hold while the state asks the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn his ruling.

Jeb’s real opponent: Bush 43 BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

In his efforts to break free of the legacy of the Bush 43’s presidency, Jeb reminds one of the Michelangelo’s slave statues struggling against their stone fetters. Try as they might, they remain bound to the stone from whence they came. Whatever one thinks of W’s tenure as president, lets all remember that he left office with a Gallup score of 34 percent, having touched 25 percent in October/November of 2008 – right around election day. His last term ended in disaster. The financial collapse, the looming recession, and the residual negatives of the body bags that came home from Iraq seared into the public consciousness and made him one of our least popular presidents. His low rating by Gallup of 25 percent is the lowest of all post-war presidents except for Nixon’s 24 percent and Truman’s 22 percent. That is quite a legacy to live down. And Jeb must live it down, explicitly. It is not enough to obliquely note, as he did in his speech this week, that “mistakes were made” in Iraq. He has to lay it out and put the blame where it belongs — on the commander-inchief. But, at least, Iraq ended well as Bush left office – only to be mangled beyond recognition by Obama’s total withdrawal. The endterm legacy of Bush 43 is dominated by the second most harrowing financial crisis in our national history. Was it Bush’s fault? Damn right it was. He had been president for eight years. He had appointed the head of the Federal Reserve. It was his policy to maintain only the most minimal – and distracted – regulation of Wall Street. While he did make feeble attempts to rein in Fannie and Freddie, their mismanagement took place on his watch. Understandably, voters would not rate highly his stewardship of the economy. Jeb must get out of that shadow. The only way he can do so is to explain, in detail, what he felt his brother did wrong and to lay out how he would do better. Otherwise, his candidacy would be like Herbert Hoover’s brother running in 1940, eight years after Herbert left office. Hillary would have only to compare Bill’s economic record with W’s and the results would not be pretty. To be sure, it was Bill Clinton signature on the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, his approval of the deregulation of derivatives, and his go-go instructions to Fannie and Freddie that lay the basis for the crash. But all that is for the cognoscenti. To the average voter, Bush means recession. In 1991 and in 2007-2008. If Jeb is sparing in his critique and fails to meet the concerns of voters head-on, he will pay the price and hand the election over to Hillary. We must not blame Jeb for W’s failures. But, if he does not recognize, admit and enumerate them – and suggest how he would proceed differently – we are entitled to hold them against him.

Prayer for today Almighty God, look upon me with pity; so often I have obeyed the thoughts that have been misleading and profitless. Make me more careful of what I think and say, and may I learn from my mistakes the forbidden paths. Help me to keep my mind in unity with thy will. Amen.

A verse to share 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. — Isaiah 40:30-31

2016 political environment has shifted Like it or not, the 2016 presidential race is now well under way. Republican candidates are flocking to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, while Hillary Clinton, in-between $200,000 speeches at universities, is reported to be in seclusion developing her economic policies. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by minutiae, but sometimes a twist of events turns out to be important, even 12 months away from the first caucuses and primaries. And of course, always keep in mind that most minutiae turn out to be trivial. Amid all this, it’s important to keep in mind changes in the broader political environment — changes which could make this electoral cycle different in some nontrivial way from the small number of electoral cycles in the recent past. I see two broad developments which could make 2016 different. One is the increasing salience of foreign policy and the increasing discontent with the foreign policies of the Obama administration. This was not the case in the first Obama term, when the president got negative marks on most domestic issues but passing grades on foreign policy. Thus the 2012 Obama campaign spent little time or money highlighting the incumbent’s great policy achievement, Obamacare. It highlighted instead his

administration’s success in killing Osama bin Laden – a proxy for the broader Michael a r g u m e n t Barone that he was ending disasColumnist trous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and reducing the threat of Islamist terrorists (never explicitly identified that way) to tolerable levels. Mitt Romney was ridiculed for calling Russia our No. 1 geopolitical foe and for insisting the terrorist threat was not quelled. And of course he brought no foreign policy experience to the table. Now the polls are the other way around. Obama’s job rating has risen slightly as more Americans have come to believe the economy is improving. But on foreign policy, most recently on his response to the Islamic State, his ratings are negative. This poses problems both for Hillary Clinton, who looks more and more to be the inevitable Democratic nominee, and for Republican candidates. Clinton, after all, was Obama’s secretary of state. It’s fair to ask her, as Russia advances into Ukraine, how her “reset” with Russia worked. It’s fair to ask if she still disagrees with Obama’s decisions not to arm Syrian rebels and how she handled diplomatic security in

Benghazi. It’s fair to ask if she agrees with many congressional Democrats’ opposition to Obama’s requested Authorization to Use Military Force against the Islamic State. However she answers, she’s likely to be out of line with a significant part of her party – not optimal if you’re trying to maximize voter turnout. As for the Republicans, none of them has much or any experience in making or carrying out foreign policy, though some can speak more knowledgeably than others. Republican voters, once split on foreign policy, now seem more united after the Islamic State started beheading Americans, burning prisoners and slaughtering Christians. That’s perhaps the reason for the slightly flagging poll numbers for the anti-interventionist Rand Paul. It’s easy for Republicans to criticize Barack Obama’s decisions. It’s harder to set out policies to make the world safer without worrying voters skittish about military involvement. The other major development that may make this cycle different is a change in the minds of Republican primary voters. In 2010 and 2012, they were inclined to support outspoken, even incendiary candidates. They were reacting angrily not only to President Obama, whom they hoped would lose re-election, but to many

of the policies of George W. Bush. In 2014, with Obama re-elected and Hillary Clinton leading in 2016 polls, they chose less-provocative nominees who seemed to have better chances in the general election. There’s evidence in current polls that Republican primary voters seem to be similarly inclined today. Ted Cruz, who won a 2012 primary against an “establishment” candidate and led the move that resulted in the government shutdown in October 2013, is in single digits, while Scott Walker, whose fights have been with Democrats and public employee unions, has zoomed into double digits in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. But that’s minutiae, and numbers can easily change many times; the current underlying political atmosphere might change, too. Meanwhile, polling shows Hillary Clinton against various Republicans averaging under 50 percent in seven Obama states with 79 electoral votes — enough to have elected Mitt Romney. Looks like an interesting cycle.

Applauding an elegant conservative Recently, I was temporarily placed on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s watch list for extremism simply because I vocally support traditional marriage. I remember thinking: When did advocating for lifelong love between one man and one woman become a hate crime? Fortunately, the group saw the folly of its ways and apologized, removing me from the list. It was a small battle, a blip in the daily life of someone who has entered the political arena. And I enjoyed the support of many who rallied in the conservative media to my cause to help reverse such a silly distinction. But it wasn’t that long ago when liberal extremism tried to suffocate traditional values, and there were few media voices to come to the rescue. There was one, though, so powerful and elegant, persistent yet graceful. Her name is Phyllis Schlafly. And for the past 90 years she has been a tireless advocate for the nuclear family, for traditional marriage and for common-sense conservatism that resists injecting government into every aspect of our lives. On Wednesday night, she will be honored at the Paul Wey-

rich Awards dinner that precedes the start of the annual Conservative Political Action Ben Conference. Carson Schlafly fought battles Columnist most lacked the courage to fight, and time and again she won. She has been credited for single-handedly stopping the Equal Rights Amendment, which in the 1970s was racing on a media freight train toward ratification. Schlafly stopped it dead in its tracks. It was not because she didn’t believe women deserve rights, but rather because she rightfully recognized the ERA was skewed toward favoring young professional women, and that it would punish middle-aged and older women who chose to stay at home and raise their families by taking away “dependent wife” benefits under Social Security and alimony. In those days, it took courage and lots of hard work to roll back what a liberal media had started in motion. But Schlafly succeeded because she was intellectually honest, impassioned and

skilled in not only communicating the fight, but also in waging it. Likewise, she has relentlessly fought for life, recognizing early on that the Roe v. Wade decision would be one of the Supreme Court’s worst decisions. Through good and bad economic times, and the ebb and flow of conservative activism, Phyllis Schlafly has remained a steady voice for common sense and traditional values. Her voice is as relevant and strong today as it was more than a half-century ago when she made the famous case for Barry Goldwater’s conservatism in her great book “A Choice, Not An Echo.” In her 2014 book “Who Killed the American Family?” she eloquently touched my heart with her keen insights on how President Obama’s agenda and decades of prior liberal taxcode changes and court interference have substituted government intervention for parenting and federal dependency for self-reliance. Like she has for most of 90 years on this planet, Schlafly cut right to the chase in diagnosing the problem with America today. In plain, simple and compelling language, she

rightfully declared that “the government is making ordinary decisions about what the kid does that ought to be made by the mothers and fathers.” For those who believe this battle is already lost or isn’t worth fighting anymore because the cards are stacked against conservatives, I implore you to step back and examine the extraordinary life of Phyllis Schlafly. She has proved that what seemed impossible can be achieved. She has lived a life of virtue and has never been tempted to compromise. And she has made the most compelling case that the family unit must be preserved in order for America’s greatness to extend into future generations. For that extraordinary contribution, I salute her on this special day. (Ben S.

Homeland Security open on 1-week bill WASHINGTON — Bordering on dysfunction, Congress passed a oneweek bill late Friday night to avert a partial shutdown of the Homeland Security Department, as leaders in both political parties quelled a revolt by House conservatives furious that the measure left President Barack Obama’s immigration policy intact. The final vote of a long day and night was a bipartisan 357-60 in the House, a little more than an hour after the Senate cleared the measure without so much as a roll call. That sent the legislation to the White House for Obama’s signature, and capped a day of bruising political battles and rhetoric to match.

Train wrecks enter safety discussion WASHINGTON — Fiery wrecks this month of trains hauling crude oil are intensifying pressure on the Obama administration to approve tougher standards for railroads and tank cars, despite industry complaints that it could cost billions and slow freight deliveries. On Feb. 5, the Transportation Department sent the White House draft rules that would require stronger tank cars and make other safety improvements. Nine days later a train hauling crude oil and petroleum distillates derailed and caught fire in Ontario, Canada. Less than 48 hours later, another oil train derailed and caught fire in West Virginia. Brigham McCown was responsible for safe transportation of hazardous materials during President George W. Bush’s administration.

Obama shifts roles for StoryCorps WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama made the switch from interviewee to interviewer. The president questioned a Maryland high school senior in the My Brother’s Keeper program. The interview for the StoryCorps oral history project aired Friday on National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition.” Noah McQueen discussed going from being in trouble with the law to being an award-winning student. Obama asked McQueen how he softened after being a “knucklehead.” McQueen says he became accountable for his actions. He says as a black man, he feels pressure to always make the right decisions or be judged. Obama told McQueen he’ll probably make more mistakes since he’s only 18. But Obama said he’s proud of McQueen.

First lady: U.S. has food ‘culture change’ WASHINGTON — Michelle Obama said Thursday that the U.S. has undergone a “culture change” in the five years since she started raising awareness about childhood obesity, but as she celebrated achievements on multiple fronts the first lady also warned that the progress is “incredibly fragile.” That’s because special interests “whose first priority is not our kids’ health” are “waiting for us to get complacent or bored and move on to the next trendy issue,” Mrs. Obama said at an annual health summit. She cited the fight over a recent child nutrition law as an example. “Even today, some folks are still arguing that we just can’t afford to serve our kids healthy food, that it’s too expensive,” she said in a reference to new federal requirements that more fresh produce and whole grains be served in schools. Many schools have adopted the standards but others contend they aren’t working and have lobbied Congress to weaken them. Schools must follow government nutrition rules if they accept federal reimbursements for free and reduced-price meals for low-income students.

Assessment: Cyber threats expanding WASHINGTON — Saboteurs, spies and thieves are expanding their computer attacks against a vulnerable American Internet infrastructure, chipping away at U.S. wealth and security over time, according to the latest U.S. intelligence appraisal of the top dangers facing the country. In its annual worldwide threats assessment released Thursday, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence says that a catastrophic destruction of infrastructure is unlikely, but it nonetheless placed cyber attacks above terrorism on the list of dan-

Across the State

gers facing the nation. “Cyber threats to U.S. national and economic security are increasing in frequency, scale, sophistication, and severity of impact,” the assessment says. “Rather than a ‘Cyber Armageddon’ scenario that debilitates the entire US infrastructure, we envision something different,” it said. “We foresee an ongoing series of lowto-moderate level cyber attacks from a variety of sources over time, which will impose cumulative costs on U.S. economic competitiveness and national security. Russia, China, Iran and North Korea are the top nation state cyber threats, the intelligence assessment found. The assessment said officials are increasingly concerned that cyber attackers will seek to change or destroy crucial data in a way that could undermine financial markets and business confidence.

8 shot to death, including gunman TYRONE, Mo. — A man who authorities say may have been unhinged by the death of his ailing mother went on a houseto-house shooting rampage in a small town in the Missouri Ozarks, killing seven people before taking his own life. The victims, plus an eighth person who was wounded, were found late Thursday or early Friday in four homes in Tyrone, a no-stoplight cluster of homes about 40 miles north of the Arkansas line. The 36-year-old gunman was discovered in a vehicle in a neighboring county, dead of what appeared to be a selfinflicted gunshot wound, Missouri Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeff Kinder said. Kinder gave no information on whether the gunman and the victims were connected. The names of the dead were being withheld until their relatives could be notified. All the victims were adults, Texas County Coroner Tom Whittaker said.

Ex-House speaker Tim Ford dies at 63 JACKSON — Tim Ford, a former speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives, has died. He was 63. Ben Stone, one of Ford’s partners at the Balch & Bingham law firm, confirmed Ford died of a heart attack Friday evening in Oxford. Ford was elected as a Democrat to the Mississippi House in 1979 from a district in the Tupelo area. His colleagues in the 122-member House elected Ford as speaker in January 1988. He remained in that role until January 2004. After leaving the Legislature, Ford went into private law practice. As presiding officer in the House, Ford let chairmen have control over bills in their committees.

17 indicted in rash of jewelry robberies DETROIT — Seventeen Detroit-area residents have been indicted in connection with a series of smashand-grab robberies at jewelry stores in a halfdozen states. Conspiracy to interfere with commerce charges were announced Friday in Detroit by U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade and involved shops in New York, Maryland, North Carolina, Mississippi, Nebraska and Connecticut. The indictments say sledge hammers were used to bust into Rolex watch display cases during business hours. The stolen watches then were returned to Michigan. The indictments were

filed over the past month and follow investigations of about 40 such robberies last year. About 25 were committed in Michigan between 2012 and 2014.

Dismissal upheld of lawsuit against AD JACKSON — A federal appeals court panel has upheld the dismissal of lawsuit filed by a former employee at Jackson State University against the school’s athletics director. A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued the ruling Thursday. The lawsuit was filed by Vivian Fuller’s former secretary, Lolita Ward. Fuller is no longer athletics director at the college. Ward alleged Fuller subjected her to inappropriate comments, gestures and touching in 2011. The lawsuit argues Ward was fired in October 2011 after rejecting the advances.

Trekkies mourn death of Nimoy BY LYNN ELBER

“I loved him like a brother. We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love.”

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — In 1975, Leonard Nimoy published an autobiography with the defiant title, “I Am Not Spock.” Two decades later, he bowed to fate with “I Am Spock,” a revisionist sequel. But for Trekkies and even casual “Star Trek” viewers, Nimoy was always the coolly composed science officer with the pointed ears and an unwavering belief in logic. He played a variety of other stage and screen roles, wrote poetry and pursued photography, but Nimoy’s portrayal of Mr. Spock remained indelible and inescapable. It wasn’t just the trademark ears or the steeply arched eyebrows — which rose higher when Spock was confronted with disconcerting emotion — or the impressive dividedfinger salute or the “Live long and prosper” catchphrase. It was how Nimoy staunchly turned what could have been a caricature into a dignified, inspiringly intellectual and even touching figure, a half-human, half-Vulcan who was a multicultural and multiethnic touchstone, well before it was hip. For Americans and others who witnessed 1969 U.S. moon landing, and for generations of geeks to come, Spock and “Star Trek” reinforced the power of science and space exploration. Nimoy died Friday of end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at his Los Angeles home, with family at his side, said his son, Adam Nimoy. He was 83. The reaction was swift, on Earth and in space.

William Shatner Who portrayed Captain Kirk on ‘Star Trek” “I loved him like a brother. We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love,” said Shatner, whose oftenemotional Captain Kirk was balanced by the composed Nimoy. “Live Long and Prosper, Mr. #Spock!” tweeted Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, aboard the International Space Station. George Takei, Mr. Sulu of “Star Trek,” called Nimoy a great man and friend. “We return you now to the stars, Leonard. You taught us to ‘Live Long and Prosper,’ and you indeed did, friend,” Takei said. In a 2009 interview with The Associated Press, Leonard Nimoy recalled how an early stage role left him “obsessed” with pursuing work that had a social impact. “I’ve fulfilled that dream, including ‘Star Trek,’ for that matter,” he said. “If that’s part of the legacy, then I’m very pleased with that. I would hope the work I chose to do had some reason for being done other than just simply being a job.” He said he hoped his work helped people understand their lives and the world. After “Star Trek” ended, the actor immediately joined the hit adventure series “Mission Impossible” as Paris, the mission team’s master of disguises.

From 1976 to 1982, he hosted the syndicated TV series “In Search of ... ,” which attempted to probe such mysteries as the legend of the Loch Ness Monster and the disappearance of aviator Amelia Earhart. He played Israeli leader Golda Meir’s husband opposite Ingrid Bergman in the TV drama “A Woman Called Golda” and Vincent van Gogh in “Vincent,” a one-man stage show on the troubled painter’s life. He continued to work well into his 70s, playing gazillionaire genius William Bell in the Fox series “Fringe.” He also directed several films, including the hit comedy “Three Men and a Baby” and appeared in such plays as “A Streetcar Named Desire,” ‘‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” ‘‘Fiddler on the Roof,” ‘‘The King and I,” ‘‘My Fair Lady” and “Equus.” He also published books of poems, children’s stories and his own photographs. But he could never really escape the role that took him overnight from bit-part actor to TV star. And in a 1995 interview, he sought to analyze the popularity of Spock, the green-blooded space traveler who aspired to live a life based on pure logic. People identified with Spock because they “recognize in themselves this wish that they could be logical and avoid the pain of anger and confrontation,” Nimoy concluded.

Study: Smokers seek multiple nicotine sources Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The first peek at a major study of how Americans smoke suggests many use combinations of products, and often ecigarettes are part of the mix. It’s a preliminary finding, but it highlights some key questions as health officials assess electronic cigarettes. “Are e-cigarettes a step toward a cigarette smoker getting off of cigarettes? Or are ecigarettes a crutch so they can get nicotine in places and times when they wouldn’t normally be allowed to smoke cigarettes?” asked Dr. Andrew Hyland of the

Roswell Park Cancer Institute, the primary investigator for a huge government study of trends in smoking and tobacco use. Hyland’s study is one of a number of projects that scientists are watching as they explore the public health implications of e-cigarettes. At a meeting of nicotine researchers late Thursday, Hyland presented preliminary findings from the first 20,000 people to enroll in the study, a baseline as the Food and Drug Administration and National Institutes of Health track how use of tobacco products, or

alternatives like tobacco-free e-cigarettes, is evolving. A fraction — 28 percent of adults and nearly 9 percent of youths — reported they currently use any type of tobacco product, Hyland said. About 40 percent of those current tobacco users report using two or more products. And half say batterypowered e-cigarettes are one of the multiple products they use, Hyland found. In fact, the most common combination was cigarettes and e-cigarettes. Mitch Zeller, director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, said the early findings showing use of more than one type of tobacco product are compelling and underscore “how popular e-cigarettes have become.”

“How many times have we come away from an argument wishing we had said and done something different?” he asked. In the years immediately after “Star Trek” left television, Nimoy tried to shun the role. But he eventually came to embrace it, lampooning himself on such TV shows as “Futurama,” ‘‘Duckman” and “The Simpsons,” and in commercials. He became Spock after “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry was impressed by his work in guest appearances on the TV shows “The Lieutenant” and “Dr. Kildare.” The space adventure set in the 23rd century had an unimpressive debut on NBC on Sept. 8, 1966, and it struggled during its three seasons to find an audience other than teenage boys. It seemed headed for oblivion after it was canceled in 1969, but its dedicated legion of fans, who called themselves Trekkies, kept its memory alive with conventions and fan clubs and constant demands that the cast be reassembled for a movie or another TV show. Trekkies were particularly fond of Spock, often greeting one another with the Vulcan salute and motto, “Live Long and Prosper,” both of which Nimoy was credited with bringing to the character. He pointed out, however, that the hand gesture was actually derived from one used by rabbis during Hebraic benedictions. When the cast was reassembled for “Star Trek — The Motion Picture,” in 1979, the film was a huge hit, and five sequels followed. Nimoy appeared in all of them and directed two.

BY JACK GILLUM AND STEPHEN BRAUN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock repaid $40,000 from his personal checking account for redecorations to his congressional office in the style of the TV show “Downton Abbey,” according to financial records reviewed by The Associated Press. Schock paid $35,000 earlier this month to the owner of the Illinois decorating firm Euro Trash, and $5,000 more on Thursday, the records showed. His official House expense account had previously paid the group for its services. Schock, a rising star in the Republican Party, has been under scrutiny for using taxpayer money to pay for the redecorating, as well as using his official and campaign funds for flights on donor-owned planes and concert tickets. The Washington Post was first to describe the office decorations in early February. A watchdog group has since requested a House ethics review of the congressman’s spending. Schock’s office said Fri-

Illinois lawmaker reimburses costs for lavish office decor

day his payments made good on an earlier promise to personally shoulder the costs of the office renovation. Schock wrote two checks — for $25,000 on Feb. 4 and $10,000 on Feb. 6 — to Tracy “Annie” Brahler, owner of Euro Trash. He wrote a third check for $5,000 on Thursday. “Congressman Schock has fulfilled his commitment to pay for all the renovation costs,” his office said Friday in a prepared statement. It said that while congressional office costs are usually paid from office expense accounts, “the congressman believed it appropriate to pay these costs himself.” Schock, 33, is in his fourth term representing the Peoria and Springfield areas. This week, Schock brought on board a team of campaign finance lawyers and public relations experts to address the controversy about his expenses. His financial charges — including the use of his donors’ private aircraft and concert tickets — were detailed by the AP and other news organizations since news of the decoration work be-

came public. An AP review this week identified at least a dozen flights worth more than $40,000 on contributors’ planes since mid-2011, tracking Schock’s reliance on the aircraft partly through the congressman’s pictures uploaded to his Instagram account. The AP extracted hidden location data associated with each image; it then correlated it with flight records showing airport stopovers and expenses later billed for air travel against Schock’s office and campaign records. Lawmakers can use office funds for private flights as long as payments cover their share of the costs. But most of the flights Schock covered with office funds occurred before the House changed its rules in January 2013. Those earlier rules prohibited lawmakers from using those accounts to pay for flights on private aircraft, allowing payments only for federally licensed charter and commercial flights. Schock previously told the AP he takes compliance with congressional funding rules seriously.

Pet owner asks how to cope with grief WIZARD OF ID

PICKLES

Dear Annie: Several years ago, you printed a piece from a reverend about a dog who had died. My own precious Poochie died yesterday after being hit by a car. I am having a hard time. I miss him so much. Could you please print that piece again? Perhaps it would bring me comfort. -- Still Grieving in Florida Dear Florida: Here it is. We hope it helps: Do Dogs Go To Heaven? by the Rev. Dale Turner (19172006) Looking back across the years I see how important dogs have been in my life. I had been an ordained minister only a few weeks when I received a call from an 8-year-old boy. His dog had been killed by a car. “Mr. Turner,” the lad sobbed, “do you do funerals for dogs?” I didn’t know quite how to respond, but I recalled the Scriptures’ affirmation of God’s knowing when even a sparrow falls. I replied, “Why not?” and I conducted a little ceremony for the boy’s pet. He was very pleased and then asked, “Is my dog going to heaven?” I wasn’t prepared for that question, but my

Annie’s Mailbox love for animals got me through it. I’m sure I made the child feel better. Several years later I had my own personal experience that provided the answer I had never been sure of. Our wonderful dachshund, Gretta, died, and we were eager to bring another dog into our home. We went to the pound to get the dachshund whose photo had appeared in the paper. By the time we arrived, he had been claimed. Another puppy, sensing our mission, poked her nose through the wire fence. The look in her eyes seemed to say, “Please, pick me.” We did. And we named her Pick. Whenever I came home, Pick was there to greet me. I’d say, “Pick, you’ve got it made. Other animals work for their keep. A canary sings, cows give milk, chickens lay eggs, but you don’t have to do anything but hang around.” After 14 years, Pick

became very sick, and there was nothing to be done except put her out of her misery. With a heavy heart I drove her to the vet’s, who did what had to be done. I then went back to my study and wept for hours. A few days later, a parishioner who knew of my grief sent me this poem. It healed my sorrow. Perhaps it will help others. I’d like to share it: I explained to St. Peter, I’d rather stay here, Outside the pearly gate. I won’t be a nuisance, I won’t even bark, I’ll be very patient and wait. I’ll be here, chewing on a celestial bone, No matter how long you may be. I’d miss you so much, if I went in alone, It wouldn’t be heaven for me.

Corporate America is in the final days of fourth-quarter earnings season. More than 96 percent of the companies in the Standard & Poors 500 index have reported their latest results. Earnings growth for the S&P 500 is expected to be 7.9 percent when the final tally is in. Thatâ€™s an improvement over analystsâ€™ expectations of 6.6 percent growth when earnings season began. The dramatic drop in the price of oil hit earnings in the energy sector hard. Energy companies are expected to report a 21.9 percent decline in earnings, and a much steeper drop of 63.6 percent in the current quarter.

Auto sales

Economic snapshot

Eye on hiring

Automakers are benefiting from low interest rates and cheaper gasoline. New vehicle sales in the U.S. surged 14 percent in January, as more car buyers snapped up big SUVs. Did the trend continue in February? A J.D. Power and LMC Automotive forecast calls for February sales, due out on Tuesday, to be up from a year ago, hitting a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 16.7 million units.

The Federal Reserve releases its latest Beige Book on Wednesday. The report is a snapshot of business conditions in each of the Fedâ€™s 12 regional bank districts. Januaryâ€™s Beige Book showed that the districts reported modest or moderate growth, helped by gains of sales of autos and other consumer products. But the big drop in oil prices was starting to have an impact on Texas and other energy-producing regions.

Economists predict hiring in the U.S. eased in February for the third month in a row. They expect the Labor Department will report on Friday that nonfarm employers added 250,000 jobs, down from 257,000 in January. U.S. job growth has been encouraging, helping to drive down the unemployment rate to 5.7 percent. Wage growth has remained weak.
