Amnesty program offered BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
The month of March brings an opportunity to get back in good standing with Corinth Municipal Court. The court is offering an amnesty program during the month, and Alcorn County Justice Court as well as Tishomingo County Justice Court and municipal courts throughout Tishomingo County are also offering amnesty programs at the same time. It’s a chance to clear up delinquent fines or outstanding warrants without the threat of arrest when a person voluntarily comes forward. To qualify for the program, the old fine balance must be from prior to March 1, 2013, and the person must voluntarily appear. The program runs through March 31. “The purpose of the amnesty program is to provide relief to individuals who have found themselves in violation of a court-ordered obligation because they are financially unable to pay their fines,” said Municipal Court Clerk Zane El-

Mississippi Action for Progress is asking the city to consider allowing it to lease or purchase the former East Corinth school facility for the Head Start program. Regional Administrator Deborah Cooper told the Board of Aldermen on Tuesday that her superiors are interested in an agreement to purchase two buildings and a portion of the playground for $1 or enter a lease agreement with the city for $1 annually for as long as MAP uses the facility for head start or early head start programs. Cooper said MAP would be responsible for maintenance and meeting all health regulations.

CAUSE will fundraise, educate community with Autism Day BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
CAUSE still has work to do. Corinth Autism Understanding Support & Education (CAUSE) isn’t done with its goal of educating the community about the growing problem of the disorder. Last year, the group used Autism Day at the Corinth Sportsplex to draw more attention to the lack of resources for those with autism. Over 150 turned out for the event in 2013, prompting organizers to bring back the day again this year. “The day will be open to anyone who wants to learn more about autism,” said CAUSE
member Leonda McDowell. “CAUSE wants the community to become more aware of the disorder which effects 1 in 88 children.” The fundraiser, scheduled for 10 a.m. through 2 p.m. on April 12, is set to be a day of fun and games for children. Numerous activities including party jumpers, a train for children and entertainment are slated during the day. “Proceeds from the day will go toward fun trips for autistic children throughout the year and to pay for autism education conferences,” added McDowell. T-shirts to commemorate the event are already on sale. They
are available for $15 with the XXL variety costing $17. Vendor booth space can be bought for $10. “This year we are extending
the booths to include food vendors,” said McDowell. CAUSE, which meets the first Monday of each month at the Sportsplex, started in May of 2012 with less than 10 members. Today the group has grown to 25. Autism greatly varies from person to person with no two people with autism alike. According to the National Autism Association some signs of the disorder include: ■ No big smiles or other warm, joyful expressions by six months or thereafter. ■ No back-and-forth sharing of sounds, smiles, or other facial expressions by nine months
or thereafter. ■ No babbling by 12 months. ■ No gesturing (pointing, waving bye-bye) by 12 months. ■ No words by 16 months. ■ No two-word meaningful phrases (without imitating or repeating) by 24 months. ■ Any loss of speech or babbling or social skills at any age. Studies show early intervention is the key for progress in autism. “It is treatable and not a hopeless condition,” said McDowell. For more information about CAUSE or to take part in the Autism Day as a vendor call 662-415-1340, 662-415-5160, 662-415-2120 or 662-603-1414.
Caterpillar engineer earns STEP Award Narcotics Unit arrests 2 The Manufacturing Institute recently awarded Karen Crow Childs, an engineer with Caterpillar of Corinth, with the Women in Manufacturing STEP (Science, Technology, Engineering and Production) Award. This year, 160 recipients of the STEP Awards were recognized for their accomplishments in manufacturing during a reception in Washington, D.C. The STEP Awards honor women who have demonstrated excellence and leadership in their careers and represent all levels of the manufacturing industry, from the factory floor to the C suite. “In manufacturing, each day brings new challenges and opportunities that enable a cre-
ative environment,” said Childs. “The problems I solve in manufacturing make a positive impact on business results. As a project leader, Childs it gives me the opportunity to mentor others to become better leaders for our future.” Childs is a remanufacturing engineer in the Caterpillar facility in Corinth. Remanufacturing is the process of returning an end-of-life, broken or blemished product to like-new condition. This provides customers
with the same performance and reliability at a fraction of the cost of a new product, while also reducing the impact on the environment. Rene Jeanfreau, Technical Services Manager, praised Childs for her contributions to Caterpillar, particularly with the recent expansion of local operations, as well as for her community involvement. “In addition to a very successful 15-year career with Caterpillar, Karen’s achievements during the past two years have been key to the success of the company’s remanufacturing operations in Mississippi,” said Jeanfreau. “Karen is currently

turing operations, Karen is actively involved with her family, her church and her community.” The STEP Awards are part of the larger STEP Ahead initiative, launched to examine and promote the role of women in the manufacturing industry through recognition, research, and leadership for attracting, advancing, and retaining strong female talent. A recent survey from Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute found that nearly
82 percent of American manufacturing companies have a moderate to severe shortage of available, qualified workers. “These 160 women are the faces of exciting careers in manufacturing,” said Jennifer McNelly, president, The Manufacturing Institute. “We chose to honor these women because they each made significant achievements in manufacturing through positive impact on their company and the industry as a whole.”
“It wasn’t as good a fit as East,” she said. “Keep South Corinth as an option,” said Mayor Tommy Irwin. In other business: ■ The board passed a resolution supporting the concept of the funding mechanism for the park expansion plan, following the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors’ action on Monday. It involves refinancing the arena bonds and an interlocal agreement among the various entities involved, as well as review of the arrange-

Grand jury indicts 17 BY STEVE BEAVERS
Today is Ash Wednesday, March 5, the 64th day of 2014. There are 301 days left in the year. Â
Today’s Highlight in History: On March 5, 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his “Iron Curtainâ€? speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo. Churchill declared: “From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.â€? Â
On this date: In 1766, Antonio de Ulloa arrived in New Orleans to asssume his duties as the first Spanish governor of the Louisiana Territory, where he encountered resistance from the French residents. In 1770, the Boston Massacre took place as British soldiers who’d been taunted by a crowd of colonists opened fire, killing five people. In 1868, the Senate was organized into a Court of Impeachment to decide charges against President Andrew Johnson, who was later acquitted. In 1933, in German parliamentary elections, the Nazi Party won 44 percent of the vote; the Nazis joined with a conservative nationalist party to gain a slender majority in the Reichstag. In 1953, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin died after three decades in power. In 1960, Cuban newspaper photographer Alberto Korda took the now-famous picture of guerrilla leader Ernesto “Che� Guevara during a memorial service in Havana for victims of a ship explosion. Elvis Presley was discharged from the U.S. Army. In 1963, country music performers Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins died in the crash of their plane, a Piper Comanche, near Camden, Tenn., along with pilot Randy Hughes. In 1970, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons went into effect after 43 nations ratified it. In 1979, NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe flew past Jupiter, sending back photographs of the planet and its moons.

Inmate sues over execution info The Associated Press
JACKSON — Lawyers for a woman facing the death penalty in Mississippi say the state isn’t telling them enough about where it’s getting execution drugs and how it plans to use them. Michelle Byrom and her lawyers sued the Mississippi Department of Corrections on Monday, saying it failed to follow public records
laws. They asked Hinds County Chancery Judge William Singletary to find that the department has violated the state public records law by not releasing the expiration date of lethal injection drugs that the state currently has and by saying it was too hard to search for other documents. “MDOC’s evasive and obstructionist response
clearly runs afoul of the public records act, and hides from public view important details of the state’s infliction of the most serious and irrevocable penalty against one of its citizens,� the lawsuit states. Corrections Department spokeswoman Tara Booth declined comment, saying the agency will respond in court.

Not my mistakes tree PASS CHRISTIAN — The first bottle tree I ever saw grew on the highway between my grandmother’s house near Colquitt, Ga., and the neighboring town of Blakely. I loved it. Sun shining through blue Rheta glass gets the attention of a fanJohnson ciful 10-year-old every time. The bottles were all empty Columnist Milk of Magnesia ones, cobalt in color, their former contents no doubt used up by the family that lived in the shack behind the tree. They tilted bottomsup on a dead cedar tree with lots of knobs from vanished branches. I thought it mesmerizingly beautiful. This was at least 50 years before bottle trees became stylish with middle-class matrons, so stylish that I recently swore off the whole idea. Nothing ruins a good thing like the Southern Living stamp of approval. Today there are bought-ready-made bottle trees, solar-lighted bottle trees, even trees shaped like peacocks with tail feathers made of bottles. People even buy trees already loaded with bottles, which seems somehow immoral. I have what I believe was the first bottle tree in Tishomingo County, Miss., though there are plenty of others now. My friend Barbara Moore has the best-looking one, with bottles of all kinds and colors. I patterned my last Tishomingo tree after a version I saw in the movie “Because of Winn-Dixie,” the one the Cicely Tyson character called her “mistake tree.” Why? Because, she said, she drank what came in every one of those bottles, and each one was a mistake. The small, A-frame cottage I bought here on the Coast has a nice, wooded front yard, but the cruel winter has painted it drab and sad. It needed something, and quickly. So I backed off my pledge not to have another bottle tree and started trying to think outside the box. I settled on slumped bottles, those being wine bottles melted to a flat distorted shape in a kiln and often used as cheese trays. I also like the name. Slumped. They look the way that sounds: tired and defeated. You can make them yourself, if you have a kiln, or buy them on eBay. I searched online for bottles I could afford. You’d be surprised how much a defeated blue bottle can cost. When the bottles arrived, I dangled them with art wire from a double-trunked tree in the yard. The effect was nice, and I congratulated myself on creating something a little different in an ultra-competitive field. Then one night we had a wind storm, and I awoke to find all my slumped bottles dead on the ground. I almost gave up on the idea -- too popular, anyhow, I reminded myself -- but the brown yard and bleak landscape gave me a second wind. I rehung them, this time on fishing line, and now they swirl in the wind as if motorized. I’m not sure if evil spirits can be captured in slumped bottles the way the legend goes, but blue bottles twirling in the wind can sure lift your spirits. I spend hours each day admiring my novel tree. And I congratulate myself on using recycled bottles where somebody else made the mistakes.

Prayer for today My Father, my soul sinks with shame when I think of the great moments that I have given over to mean little things. Help me that I may reckon more on the value of time, and live not to tolerate life, but to have a great need for it, that day by day I may have a deeper consciousness of its appropriate use. Amen.

Don’t write those Tea Party obituaries yet February marked the fifth anniversary of the reemergence of the label “Tea Party” in American politics. It was in February 2009 that Rick Santelli delivered his famous rant on CNBC, and a few days later, a group calling itself the Tea Party Patriots was organized. Today the conventional wisdom is that the Tea Party movement is exhausted. Polls are cited showing that only one quarter of Americans express approval of the Tea Party. Democrats run ads claiming their opponents are Tea Party radicals. Many Republicans argue that Tea Party candidates have lost winnable Senate races, cementing the Democratic majority there rather than overturning it. There is something to these lines of attack, but it misses a larger picture. I have likened the contemporary Tea Party movement to the peace movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Both began as critics of the more like-minded party: Peaceniks excoriated Lyndon Johnson; the Tea Party decried George W. Bush. Both targeted politicians of both parties. But both groups soon became mono-partisan, working within one major party. The peace groups se-
cured the Democratic presidential nomination for George McGovern in 1972 and, Michael more sucBarone c e s s f u l l y , generated Columnist support for the young liberals who swept to control in the congressional elections of 1974. The peace movement permanently changed the character of the Democratic Party. For half a century, starting in 1917, Democrats were the party more inclined to support military interventions. In the almost half-century since then, Democrats have been consistently the more dovish party. The Tea Party movement has had a similar effect on the Republican Party so far. We shall see if it proves as permanent. Like the peace movement, the Tea Party movement brought hundreds of thousands of people into political activity, people with strong convictions, not on peripheral, but on fundamental issues of public policy. They supplied energy and enthusiasm plainly lacking in the Democratic
Party in 1969 and the Republican Party in 2009. Such surges into politics will bring in many wackos, weirdos and wannabes. But they also include many solid citizens and some with finely honed political instincts. Both movements supported primary challengers against contrary-minded incumbents or favorites of party insiders. Some of those challengers -- most notably Sharron Angle in Nevada and Christine O’Donnell in Delaware -- then lost winnable general election races. But the Tea Party movement also supported some politically gifted challengers -- some with considerable political experience (Marco Rubio in Florida, Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania), some with none at all (Ron Johnson in Wisconsin) and some with insider connections among conservatives (Mike Lee in Utah, Ted Cruz in Texas). On policy, the Tea Party movement has had significant impact as well. It contributed to Republican unanimity against Obamacare and against tax-rate increases. Republicans, though only controlling the House and squabbling over tactics, have shifted the vector of national policy.
They have had even more policy success in many of the majority of states with Republican governors and legislatures. Tea Party spokesmen are, unsurprisingly, dissatisfied with the results — as peace advocates often were by policies of even Democratic administrations. But in American politics, policy success is never complete and almost always unsatisfactory to principled purists. The Tea Party movement continues to be frustrated by a politics-driven Internal Revenue Service and the intractability of Obama and Senate Democrats. But Republicans have a solid chance to win a Senate majority, and Obama approval is stuck in negative territory. Big government liberalism, hailed as the wave of the future in 2009, now seems widely discredited. The Tea Party obituaries, like Mark Twain’s, are premature. (Daily Corinthian columnist Michael Barone is senior political analyst for The Washington Examiner, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Fox News Channel contributor and a co-author of The Almanac of American Politics.)
America’s freedoms are slowly eroding There may be something to the claim that all people want to be free. But it is a demonstrable fact that freedom has been under attack, usually successfully, for thousands of years. The Federal Communications Commission’s recent plan to have a “study” of how editorial decisions are made in the media, placing FCC bureaucrats in editorial offices across the country, was one of the boldest assaults on freedom of the press. Fortunately, there was enough backlash to force the FCC to back off. With all the sweeping powers available to government, displeasing FCC bureaucrats in editorial offices could have brought on armies of “safety” inspectors from OSHA, audits from the Internal Revenue Service and many other harassments from many other government agencies. Such tactics have become especially common in this administration, which has the morals of thugs and the agenda of totalitarians. They may not be consciously aiming at creating a totalitarian state, but shameless use of government power to crush those who get in their way can produce totalitarian end

results. The prosecution of Dinesh D’Souza for contributing $20,000 Thomas to a political Sowell c a n d i d a t e , supposedly Columnist in violation of the many campaign finance laws, is a classic case of selective prosecution. Thugs who stationed themselves outside a polling place in Philadelphia to intimidate white voters were given a pass, and others accused of campaign finance violations were charged with misdemeanors, but Dinesh D’Souza has been charged with felonies that carry penalties of years in federal prison. All of this is over a campaign contribution that is chicken feed, compared to what can be raised inside of an hour at a political fundraising breakfast or lunch. Could this singling out of D’Souza for prosecution have something to do with the fact that he made a documentary movie with devastating exposures of Barack Obama’s ideologies and policies? That movie,
incidentally, is titled “2016: Obama’s America,” and every American should get a copy of it on a DVD. It will be the best $10 investment you are ever likely to make. It doesn’t matter what rights you have under the Constitution of the United States, if the government can punish you for exercising those rights. And it doesn’t matter what limits the Constitution puts on government officials’ power, if they can exceed those limits without any adverse consequences. As long as millions of Americans vote on the basis of who gives them free stuff, look for their freedom -- and all our freedom -- to be eroded away, bit by bit. Our children and grandchildren may yet come to see the Constitution as just some quaint words from the past that people once took seriously. The arrogance of arbitrary power is not confined to the federal government. An egregious case in Massachusetts involves a teenage girl from Connecticut named Justina Pelletier, who was being treated for a rare disease by doctors at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. When her parents

brought this 15-year-old girl to an emergency room in Boston, the doctors there decided that her problem was not medical but psychological. When the parents objected, and sought to take her back to the doctors who had been treating her at Tufts University, the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families charged the parents with “medical child abuse,” and were granted legal custody of the teenager. Only after Megyn Kelly on the Fox News Channel brought this case to national attention did the Massachusetts bureaucrats back off and turn the teenager’s medical care back to the doctors at Tufts University. Whether her parents will get to see their daughter freely again is still up in the air. Arbitrary power is ugly and vicious, regardless of what pious rhetoric goes with it. Freedom is not free. You have to fight for it or lose it. But is our generation up to fighting for it?

Putin cuts tension about Ukraine MOSCOW — Vladimir Putin talked tough but cooled tensions in the Ukraine crisis Tuesday, saying Russia has no intention “to fight the Ukrainian people” but reserves the right to use force. As the Russian president held court, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with Kiev’s fledgling government and urged Putin to stand down. “It is not appropriate to invade a country, and at the end of a barrel of a gun dictate what you are trying to achieve,” Kerry said. “That is not 21st-century, G-8, major nation behavior.” Although nerves remained on edge in the Crimean Peninsula, with Russian troops firing warning shots to ward off Ukrainian soldiers, global markets jumped higher on tentative signals that the Kremlin was not seeking to escalate the conflict. Kerry brought moral support and a $1 billion aid package to a Ukraine fighting to fend off bankruptcy. It was a signature Putin performance, filled with earthy language, macho swagger and sarcastic jibes, accusing the West of promoting an “unconstitutional coup” in Ukraine. At one point he compared the U.S. role to an experiment with “lab rats.” But the overall message appeared to be one of de-escalation.
Obama’s budget focuses on jobs WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s election-year budget seeks to rally fellow Democrats with new help for the working poor and fresh money for road-building, education and research. It also pulls back from controversial cuts to Social Security that had been designed to lure Republicans to the bargaining table. Otherwise, Tuesday’s $3.9 trillion submission for the 2015 budget year, which begins in October, looks a lot like Obama’s previous plans. It combines proposals for more than $1.1 trillion in tax increases on the wealthy with an array of modest initiatives such as job training funds, money to rehabilitate national parks and funding for early childhood education.
“Our budget is about choices. It’s about our values,” Obama said at a Washington elementary school. “As a country, we’ve got to make a decision, if we’re going to protect tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans or if we’re going to make smart investments necessary to create jobs and grow our economy and expand opportunity for every American.” Obama’s previous budgets have mostly gone nowhere, and that’s where Tuesday’s submission appears to be headed as well. Instead, Congress is likely to adhere to last year’s mini budget deal as it looks ahead to midterm elections this fall.
2014 Iditarod sled dog race begins ANCHORAGE, Alaska — One human wins the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race each year, but it’s the smaller, furry athletes that do the heroes’ share of the work crossing nearly 1,000 miles of merciless terrain to reach the finish line on Alaska’s windbattered coast. The 2014 race, which began Sunday, is still in the early stages, with jockeying for the lead remaining fluid until all the mushers begin taking a mandatory, 24-hour layover and two eight-hour rests. Sixty-nine mushers began the race, though several already have dropped out. On Tuesday, Iditarod veteran Sonny Lindner was the first to leave the Nikolai checkpoint, more than 700 miles from the finish line in the old gold rush town of Nome. Participants say this year’s trail conditions are grueling, including stretches of bare ground. .
United gets tough on oversized bags NEW YORK — United
Wednesday, March 5, 2014
Across The State
Airlines is getting tough on passengers with oversized carry-on bags, even sending some of them back to the ticket counter to check their luggage for a fee. The Chicago-based airline has started a push to better enforce rules restricting the size of carry-on bags — an effort that will include instructing workers at security checkpoint entrances to eyeball passengers for bags that are too big. In recent weeks, United has rolled out new bag-sizing boxes at most airports and sent an email to frequent fliers, reminding them of the rules. An internal employee newsletter called the program a “renewed focus on carry-on compliance.” The size limits on carry-on bags have been in place for years, but airlines have enforced them inconsistently.
Legislator wins Texas nomination AUSTIN, Texas — State Sen. Wendy Davis says she’s ready for what will be an uphill fight to become Texas’ next governor. Davis clinched the Democratic nomination Tuesday night in the race to replace Gov. Rick Perry. She’ll face state Attorney General Greg Abbott in November. Addressing supporters in her hometown of Fort Worth, Davis said she’ll push new investments in education and “an economy built for the jobs of tomorrow.” She accused Abbott of being a “defender of the status quo.” The 50-year-old Davis became a national star last summer with a nearly 13-hour filibuster over new abortion restrictions. Her fundraising outpaced Abbott in the last half of 2013 but she’s still considered a heavy underdog.

Teacher pay raise moves to Senate JACKSON — The head of an educators’ union is praising Mississippi lawmakers for moving forward with a teacher pay raise proposal. But, he’s asking them to do more. Mississippi Association of Educators director Frank Yates says Tuesday that to keep up with neighboring states, Mississippi needs to pass a 5.5 percent teacher pay raise each year for the next five years. The Senate Education Committee advanced a plan Tuesday to give teachers a $1,500 raise this July, followed by another $1,000 a year later. That’s 5 percent for beginning teachers the first year and 3 percent the second year. In the third year, teachers would become eligible for merit raises in schools with good academic performance. The committee put the plan into House Bill 504, sending it to the full Senate.

Weather doesn’t stop Mardi Gras House panel passes The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — A cold, gray day greeted revelers — but didn’t deter them — along parade routes Tuesday as the Carnival season in New Orleans headed to a crest with the unabashed celebration of Mardi Gras. The first street marching groups, including clarinetist Pete Fountain’s Half-Fast Walking Club, were to begin their marches along oak-lined St. Charles Avenue and into the business district. The Zulu parade began on schedule, led by a New Orleans police vanguard on horseback that included Mayor Mitch Landrieu. Later, the floats of Rex — the king of Carnival — and hundreds of truck trailers decorated by family and social groups would wind down St. Charles Avenue. Rain fell, and umbrellas and raincoats sprouted along the parade route. Sleet was falling on some merrymakers in areas north and west of the city. But revelers gathered by the thousands in the French Quarter, where the bawdy side of Mardi Gras would surely be on full display.
Mark Nelson of St. Louis said he would be in the mix even in a downpour for his first Mardi Gras. “That’s why God made washing machines,” Nelson said as he sipped on a daiquiri. Revelers lined up near a stand on Bourbon Street where artist Gail Vertucci was painting Carnival masks on faces. “These people are crazy,” she said. “They’ll get painted no matter what. It doesn’t matter if it’s pouring rain, these people will line up all day long.” Die-hards braved the weather in costume in the Quarter. The weather wasn’t going to stop them. “We’ll drink, drink, drink until it gets drier,” said Dean Cook of New Orleans as he walked Bourbon Street dressed as a pirate with vampire fangs. “Mermaids love the water,” he said of his wife, Terrina Cook, who was dressed in a shiny blue mermaid costume, complete with a fin. Along the Uptown parade route, Carol LeBlanc and husband Hov LeBlanc of New Orleans were strolling along St.
Charles Avenue with friends Vicki and Duane O’Flynn from Arabi, La. The troupe was dressed as scarecrows, stuffed with grass and wearing plaid pants and tattered coveralls. The cold weather wasn’t worrying LeBlanc. “I’ve got my long johns on,” she said. Nearby, April Womack and her family had tents set up. Grills were fired up, and pots of crawfish were boiling. They camped overnight, a family tradition for almost two decades. “It’s all about location,” she said. Her cousin, Yolanda Moton, said Mardi Gras is the opportunity for an annual family reunion, with relatives coming from as far away as Georgia. “This is the one time of the year that everyone in the family fits this in their schedule.” Sue and Kevin Preece from Edmonton, Canada, were at their first Mardi Gras. “We wanted to come for Mardi Gras for about 10 years. It was on my bucket list, and he (Kevin) made it happen,” said Sue Preece, a social worker. Ronnie Davis, a professor of economics at the
McPeters Funeral Directors
University of New Orleans, decided to break his button-down image for at least one day. Clad in tutus, he and his wife, Arthurine, strolled through a rain-thinned crowd. “All year I have to dress professionally. This is the one time I get to act like a fool,” Davis said. Celebrations were scheduled throughout south Louisiana and in coastal Mississippi and Alabama, sharing the traditions brought by French colonists in the 18th century. In Louisiana’s bayou parishes, riders on horseback would go from town to town, making merry in what is called the Courir du Mardi Gras. The merriment must come to a halt at midnight, when the solemn season of Lent begins. New Orleans police were expected to sweep down Bourbon Street at midnight in the annual ritual of letting revelers know the party is over for another year. The Zulu krewe’s 2014 Witch Doctor, Derek Rabb, said he was charged with praying for the krewe’s good health and good weather on Mardi Gras. “By God’s grace, there will be sun,” he said.

religious practice bill The Associated Press
JACKSON — A Mississippi House panel on Tuesday changed and passed a bill that says state and local government cannot put a substantial burden on religious practices. Supporters say the bill would reinforce the constitutional guarantee of religious freedom and could have practical applications, such as helping churches that encounter problems with local zoning rules. Opponents worry, however, that the bill is vaguely worded and could lead to discrimination against gay people or other groups. Senate Bill 2681 is called the Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act. It passed the House Judiciary B Committee and goes the full House for debate in coming days. The original version of the bill, which passed the Mississippi Senate on Jan. 31, was similar to a measure that Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed last week. Judiciary B Committee Chairman Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, said that by limiting the Mississippi bill to government action and excluding private action, it’s different from the Arizona bill. “I don’t think it was Arizona before, and I know that with the House version it’s not the Arizona bill,” Gipson, who’s a Baptist minister, said after the bill passed his committee. “It was arguable whether it was doing
what people said it did in the Senate version. Just to eliminate that argument, we took it to a clear state action only.” The bill also would add the motto “In God We Trust” to the Mississippi state seal, as requested by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant. Before voting, the Judiciary B Committee heard from the Rev. Telsa DeBerry, pastor of Opulent Life Church in Holly Springs. When DeBerry first tried to open his church in a storefront space on the town square in 2011, he encountered problems with a local zoning law that required the church to get approval of 60 percent of property owners within a quarter-mile radius. He filed a federal lawsuit to challenge the restriction, saying it applied only to churches and not to other types of businesses. The case went to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and DeBerry said a settlement eventually was reached after more than two years, allowing the church to move forward with renovations. “That’s a lot of time and a lot of ministry that could’ve been done and a lot of resources that could’ve been utilized for the kingdom as opposed to fighting government entities,” DeBerry said. Republican Sen. Phillip Gandy, of Waynesboro, a Baptist minister who filed the Mississippi bill, said in January that Liberty Institute was “interested in” the bill.

Setting priorities makes all the difference Every day you face numerous situations that range from invigorating to stressful. Your day can be 80 percent positive and 20 percent negative, and yet you may be devoting 80 percent of your energy to the negative. When this happens you become drained. You are effectively ignoring most of the good in favor of concentrating on the smaller percentage that is negative. By focusing your energy on problems, you lose sight of all the good things you have to be thankful for. This approach puts you in a constant state of struggle and frustration. Your appreciation of the important aspects in life is diminished or even lost. How many times have you heard someone re-
mark that they didn’t really appreciate someone or something until it was Bryan gone? Golden People who have Dare to Live had a near Without Limits death experience or who have survived an extreme situation against the odds develop a fresh perspective on what’s really important. They feel as if they have been given a second chance and are never again consumed by that which is insignificant in the overall scheme of things. These survivors put all their energy into savoring every day as the second chance it is. They don’t
get mired down with insignificant stressors. They understand that worry is a complete waste of time. Do you recognize and have an appreciation of what’s important to you? If you don’t, you will drift from one negative distraction to another. Since you are not grounded by what’s important, your energy is constantly sapped by the smallest of problems. Change your focus from what’s wrong to what is right. This shift keeps your mind on what’s really important. Those things your find important must be based on your values rather than someone else’s. Although other people can tell you what is important to them, they don’t necessarily know what’s impor-
tant to you. If you haven’t spent much time thinking about what is important, here are a few suggestions to get you going: Time. Time goes by all too fast and it accelerates each year. Time is one of your most invaluable assets. Time squandered is lost forever with nothing to show for it. Unimportant stuff acts as quicksand for your time, draining more than you realize. Be discriminating with your time. Spend it on those issues which are most important to you along with the people who mean the most. Peace of mind. Concentrate on those things that give you peace of mind while avoiding sources of stress. Doing things you enjoy, working
toward your goals, being with loved ones, helping others, and improving yourself, can all give you peace of mind. If you are in a situation where there are more sources of stress than enjoyment, you can make changes. One common stressor is spending discretionary time with people who are difficult to get along with or who attempt to make you feel bad. These people seek to push your buttons in order to get an adverse reaction. Wherever possible, the best strategy is simply avoidance. Following your own path. Your journey in life should be based on your desires. If you are off course, take action to realign your direction. When you are on track,
you are doing what is most important; working to achieve your goals. Always having your goals in mind is a powerful motivator to keep your on track. Consistently plan each day in order to give priority to what is most important to you. This creates a subconscious awareness that enables you to automatically let go of insignificant issues. With this strategy, you will be happier, more satisfied, and make significant progress toward achieving your dreams.

Historian searches for fallen soldiers Cayce Springs a popular Four years ago Michael Beach began searching for the stories of the Oklahoma soldiers who are buried overseas. Recently, however he began the search for as many of the stories as he could find of soldiers from all around the United States. Beach began his journey with a visit to all 23 American cemeteries around the world where the soldiers from his state are buried. He spent six months traveling through Europe, North Africa, the Philippines and Hawaii, where he placed over 2,000 Oklahoma rose rocks at the graves of the soldiers. “Everything started when I visited a Normandy cemetery and walked up to an Oklahoman’s grave. I gave him a rose rock and found about 20 others that day. When I went back, I visited the 144 Oklahoma soldiers in the cemetery and gave all of them a rose rock,” Beach shared. Beach talked about the struggles he had along the way, from having to dig up the rose rocks
himself, to having very little food. “On several occasions I wanted to walk away from my journey and come back home. I had very little money and my feet were so badly blistered because of walking that I shouldn’t have been walking but I had to, so I could get my journey accomplished.” “Once I had made it to each of the cemeteries the thought of going home was washed away and I worked at finding the soldiers. It was hard work but I realized that if I didn’t do this that no one would and these men would not have a piece of Oklahoma with them.” After he returned home he began his search for the stories of the 3,000 Oklahoma soldiers. He soon found roadblock after roadblock in his way to gathering the stories of these amazing soldiers. “All too many times I have had family members tell me, ‘I wish I had known about this a year ago because my mom was alive and she knew everything about my uncle buried overseas.’” So far Beach has gathered
around 50 stories, some only partially complete, of World War I and World War II members of the military from Oklahoma. Beach is now looking for stories of soldiers from other states. “I have decided to find one story from each state for each of the 23 cemeteries located overseas and Hawaii. I know that if the stories are fading here in Oklahoma they are fading all around the US.” The stories that Beach collects will be shared with each soldier’s cemetery so others passing through them can hear the tales and histories. Beach is looking for copies of photos, letters, family stories, information about the soldier’s life, and even history of the area during the time the soldiers lived there. Anyone who has any information on a solider who is buried overseas can visit apieceofhomeusa.com to arrange a digital transfer. Information can also be sent to Michael Beach, P.O. Box 582, Maysville, OK 73057.
destination of yesteryear Cayce Springs was a very popular place for outings, picnics, and a quiet time with nature. Romances were created and lost as couples spent an afternoon strolling under the oak trees. Cayce Springs, a part of the former J. N. Cayce home place, was a very scenic spot about 250 yards south of Mineral Springs Park. The two-story home on this property was built in 1913 by Neil Ganong and his son, John. It was one of several homes that were built by this pair of expert carpenters. Before the home was built, it was the site of the old Cayce Motel that catered to visitors in Iuka before the turn of the century. The motel was built after the Civil War and was in use until around the early
1900s. The spring is located only a few feet east of Birch Creek, a little over 100 yards south of where Birch Creek and Indian Creek flow together.

The Federal Reserve releases its latest Beige Book today. The report is a snapshot of business conditions in each of the Fed’s 12 regional bank districts. January’s Beige Book showed that economic growth remained healthy in most U.S. regions in late November and December, helped by gains in consumer spending and factory output. The results will be considered when the Fed’s policyholders meet later this month.

Eye on home loans While mortgage interest rates remain near record lows, banks have been receiving fewer requests for home loans. The Mortgage Bankers Association’s weekly surveys of applications for new residential mortgages have registered declines or been flat since mid-January. The drop comes as average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages have been rising. The survey tracking home loan applications submitted last week is due out today.

Putin cools tensions in Ukraine, Kerry in Kiev The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Stepping back from the brink of war, Vladimir Putin talked tough but cooled tensions in the Ukraine crisis in his first comments since its president fled, saying Tuesday that Russia has no intention “to fight the Ukrainian people” but reserved the right to use force. As the Russian president held court in his personal residence, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with Kiev’s fledgling government and Moscow agreed to sit down with NATO. Although nerves remained on edge in Crimea, with Russian troops firing warning shots to ward off Ukrainian soldiers, global markets catapulted higher on tentative signals that the Kremlin was not seeking to escalate the conflict. Kerry brought moral support and a $1 billion aid package to a Ukraine fighting to fend off bankruptcy. Lounging in an armchair before Russian tricolor flags, Putin delivered a characteristic performance filled with earthy language, macho swagger and sarcastic jibes, accusing the West of promoting an “unconstitutional coup” in Ukraine. At one point he compared the U.S. role to an experiment with “lab rats.” But the overall message appeared to be one of deescalation. “It seems to me (Ukraine) is gradually stabilizing,” Putin said. “We have no enemies in Ukraine. Ukraine is a friendly state.” He tempered those comments by warning that Russia was willing to use “all means at our disposal” to protect ethnic Russians in the country. Significantly, Russia agreed to a NATO request to hold a special meeting to discuss Ukraine on Wednesday in Brussels, opening up a possible diplomatic channel in a conflict that still holds monumental hazards and uncertainties. While the threat of military confrontation retreated somewhat Tuesday, both sides ramped up economic feuding in their struggle over Ukraine. Russia hit its nearly broke neighbor with a termination of discounts on natural gas, while the U.S. announced a $1 billion aid package in energy subsidies to Ukraine. “We are going to do our best (to help you). We are going to try very hard,” Kerry said upon arriving in Kiev. “We hope Russia will respect the election that you are going to have.” Ukraine’s finance
minister, who has said Ukraine needs $35 billion to get through this year and next, was meeting Tuesday with officials from the International Monetary Fund. World stock markets, which slumped the previous day, clawed back a large chunk of their losses Tuesday on signs that Russia was backpedaling. Gold, the Japanese yen and U.S. treasuries — all seen as safe havens — returned some of their gains. Russia’s RTS index, which fell 12 percent on Monday rose 6.2 percent Tuesday. In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average was up 1.2 percent. “Confidence in equity markets has been restored as the standoff between Ukraine and Russia is no longer on red alert,” said David Madden, market analyst at IG. Russia took over the strategic peninsula of Crimea on Saturday, placing its troops around its ferry, military bases and border posts. Two Ukrainian warships remained anchored in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, blocked from leaving by Russian ships. “Those unknown people without insignia who have seized administrative buildings and airports ... what we are seeing is a kind of velvet invasion,” said Russian military analyst Alexander Golts. The territory’s enduring volatility was put in stark relief Tuesday morning: Russian troops, who had taken control of the Belbek air base, fired warning shots into the air as some 300 Ukrainian soldiers, who previously manned the airfield, demanded their jobs back. As the Ukrainians marched unarmed toward the base, about a dozen Russian soldiers told them not to approach, then fired several shots into the air and said they would shoot the Ukrainians if they continued toward them. The Ukrainian troops vowed to hold whatever ground they had left on the Belbek base. “We are worried. But we will not give up our base,” said Capt. Nikolai Syomko, an air force radio electrician holding an AK47. He said the soldiers felt they were being held hostage, caught between Russia and Ukraine. There were no other reports of significant armed confrontations Tuesday in Ukraine. Amid the tensions, the Russian military on Tuesday successfully test-fired a Topol intercontinental ballistic missile. The missile, fired from a launch pad in southern Russia, hit a designated target on

a range leased by Russia from Kazakhstan. The new Ukrainian leadership in Kiev, which Putin does not recognize, has accused Moscow of a military invasion in Crimea, which the Russian leader denied. Ukraine’s prime minister expressed hope Tuesday that a negotiated solution could be found. Arseniy Yatsenyuk told a news conference that both governments were talking again, albeit slowly. “We hope that Russia will understand its responsibility in destabilizing the security situation in Europe, that Russia will realize that Ukraine is an independent state and that Russian troops will leave the territory of Ukraine,” he said. In his hour-long meeting with reporters Tuesday, Putin said Russia
had no intention of annexing Crimea, while insisting its residents have the right to determine the region’s status in a referendum later this month. Crimean tensions, Putin said, “have been settled.” He said massive military maneuvers Russia has conducted involving 150,000 troops near Ukraine’s border were previously planned and were unrelated to the current situation in Ukraine. Russia announced that Putin had ordered the troops back to their bases. Putin hammered away at his message that the West was to blame for Ukraine’s turmoil, saying its actions were driving Ukraine into anarchy. He warned that any sanctions the United States and European Union place on Russia for its actions will
backfire. Russia’s Foreign Ministry derided American threats of punitive measures as a “failure to enforce its will and its vision of the right and wrong side of history” — a swipe at President Barack Obama’s statement Monday that Russia was “on the wrong side of history.” The EU was to hold an emergency summit Thursday on whether to impose sanctions. Moscow has insisted that the Russian military deployment in Crimea has remained within the limits set by a bilateral agreement concerning Russia’s Black Sea Fleet military base there. At the United Nations, Russia’s ambassador to the U.N., Vitaly Churkin, said Russia was entitled to deploy up to 25,000 troops in
Crimea under that agreement. The Russian president also asserted that Ukraine’s 22,000-strong force in Crimea had dissolved and its arsenals had fallen under the control of the local government. He didn’t explain if that meant the Ukrainian soldiers had just left their posts or if they had switched allegiance from Kiev to the local pro-Russian government. Putin accused the West of using fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych’s decision in November to ditch a pact with the EU in favor of closer ties with Russia to fan the protests that drove him from power and plunged Ukraine into turmoil. “I have told them a thousand times, ‘Why are you splitting the country?’” he said.

Girl who loves troubled boy can’t save him all by herself DEAR ABBY: My 13-year-old daughter, “Lizzie,” continues to talk to a 14-year-old boy who is very controlling and abusive to her. I made her stop talking to him, took away her cellphone privileges, and tried to show her how wrong he was for her and that she was going to wind up very hurt. After recently giving her the cellphone back, I learned last night that Lizzie has been talking to him and lying to me about it. He sent her a text that if she didn’t answer his call within seven minutes, he was either going to shoot himself or cut himself. He included a picture of his arm with a knife held against it. She thinks that her compliance is all that’s standing in the way of this boy killing himself. I’m scared for her safety, but she won’t listen to me because she “loves” him. When I called the boy’s mother about it, she became defensive and accused me of implying she was a bad mother. Please tell me how to handle this. -- WORRIED MOM IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR WORRIED MOM: It’s time to have a nonconfrontational conversation with your daughter about the dynamics of emotional blackmail, because that’s exactly what she’s experiencing. Your daughter needs to
Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby
realize that the boy appears to have serious emotional problems and as much as she may love him, she’s not equipped to help him or to prevent him from hurting himself if he
really wants to. As long as Lizzie sees herself as a hero who is saving his life by sacrificing hers, he won’t get the help he needs. So if she REALLY cares about him -- and I have no doubt she does -- she will end the relationship because it isn’t a healthy one for either of them. DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine, “Cameron,” has a problem. It’s his second year in college and he’s still a virgin. He gave his heart to a girl in the past, and it left him bitter, emotionally unavailable and, unfortunately, unlaid. He is outspoken, but deep down he lacks confidence. How can my friends and I help him, and how can he help himself? -- HIS BFF IN CALIFORNIA DEAR BFF: You are wellmeaning, but the person asking this question should be your
friend Cameron. While the fact that he may be “unlaid” and “unavailable” bothers you and your friends, it’s possible that it doesn’t bother HIM. If and when Cameron does tell you he is troubled by it, advise him to visit the student health center and discuss it with a counselor because there may be complicated reasons for it. He doesn’t need help losing his virginity. But he may need help addressing his trust issues or he may always remain emotionally unavailable. DEAR ABBY: How do you feel about young adults using the F-word in public? My sweetie, a mom of two, insists the word is becoming accepted. I am of the “old school,” and I maintain that the word is tasteless and shouldn’t be used in public. What do you think? -- KEEPING IT CLEAN IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR KEEPING IT CLEAN: I think that, regardless of age, the F-word should not be used in public -- and if it’s used in private, it should be reserved only for “special occasions.” (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Once you start to feel a physical response to stress, it will be challenging to hold your tongue. There is a sort of magic in removing yourself from the room and breathing deeply for relaxation, only to return when you’re good and ready. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Presenting your case will be ineffective if you don’t know exactly what your best case is. Practice what you’ll say. Talk it out with a friend or adviser. You’ll learn your best strategy in the exchange. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re looking for opportunity. You will progress because you help others progress. Today you’re in the business of taking every experience for what it has to offer you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The first question is: What do you want? The next question is: How can you make it happen? The best products come out of a desire that you and your friends
share. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). “Flighty.” There are bad connotations for that word, but what does it really mean? So someone wants to take flight? What could be so wrong with that? It’s the feeling of today, anyway. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you laugh, truly laugh, you feel good all over. That is why the people who specialize in laughter are the most revered. How can you bring more laughter into your life? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Partnerships are an adventure. If you are willing to open your mind, efforts and heart up to another individual, you can be sure something unexpected will happen. That’s what you bank on now. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Women, put your makeup on. Men, tie that tie. As Oscar Wilde wrote, “A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life.” In any case, today will require all the pretty you can muster.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just as fanned-out peacock feathers make a small bird look massive, daring acts may hide great fear. You’ll encounter posturing individuals, and it will serve you well to ask: What is this person afraid of? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll see a number of problems in what another person proposes, and you may not want to do business or involve yourself personally in what appears to be a dysfunctional plan. Even so, try to focus on solutions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Shakespeare claimed that some minds are waxen, some are marble. Today you’ll see how both substances have merit, as it will be as useful to be strong as to be malleable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Good music, good entertainment and a very long “ahh” -- that is the satisfaction you’ll enjoy now. All other concerns can melt, melt, melt away.

Harvick burns up the track again at Phoenix Kyle Busch notches another NOTEBOOK
Robert Laberge/Getty Images
Harvick performs a burnout in his “Freaky Fast” No. 4 Chevrolet after winning at Phoenix on Sunday, March 2, 2014.
HHP/Harold Hinson for Chevrolet
Kevin Harvick is usually looked at as “The Closer” — a driver who doesn’t rise to the front of the pack until the closing laps of a race. But this past weekend at Phoenix International Raceway, Harvick was the class of the field from the first practice to the final checkered flag. He led 224 of 312 laps in winning for the fifth time at Phoenix, a Cup record, and for the third time in the past four races. This victory came in just his second start in the No. 4 Chevrolet at Stewart-Haas Racing, the team he joined in the offseason after spending the rest of his career at Richard Childress Racing. Finishing second was Daytona 500 winner Dale Earnhardt Jr., who appears to have regained the swagger he enjoyed earlier in his career. Even Earnhardt, and those finishing immediately behind him, had to admit that Harvick and crew chief Rodney Childers were best in class all weekend. “They were just phenomenal,” Earnhardt said. “To be able to run with them as we did all day was a big confidence builder for us.” Fourth-finishing Joey Logano was able to knock on Harvick’s bumper a time or two
Kevin Harvick celebrates Sunday’s victory in The Profit on CNBC 500 at Phoenix International Speedway. on late-race restarts, but his No. 22 Ford was no match for the winning No. 4. “I was joking on the radio that on the back bumper of that [Harvick] car, it says ‘Freaky Fast,’ and they weren’t lying when they put that on there,” Logano said. “We had a really good car, just not as good as his.” Third-finishing Brad Keselowski was similarly impressed. “[Harvick’s team] beat everybody before they came to the track,” Keselowski said, adding that Harvick’s new crew chief, Childers, reminds him of his own, Paul Wolfe. “He’s a great crew chief. It was just a matter of time before he got the great combination he excelled with. ... “I would look for big things out of that team. They looked a lot like [Matt
Kenseth’s No. 20 team] did last year at this time. They have that honeymoon syndrome going on and are taking full advantage of it.” For Harvick and Childers, a victory in the second race of the season all but assures them of a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, and it validates their decisions to leave stable employment to form a new team at Stewart-Haas. Harvick gave most of the credit for the win to the people who prepare his car, even though he’s not even sure of all their names at this point. “It’s just a huge credit to the team really, the organization and everybody who has been a part of this process as we’ve gone through the winter and over the last couple months of last year,” he said. “To see the amount of change within Stewart-Haas Racing with the car, the haulers, the pit boxes, everything that has come with putting all these pieces together is just a huge credit to really these guys and all the guys that work in the shop. “I’m just the lucky guy that gets to drive the car around the race track when they’re dialed in like they were today. Luckily, we were able to put it all together.” For Earnhardt, starting the season with a win and a runner-up finish in the first two races can only signal more of the same going forward, which is welcome news for his large, re-energized fan base. “Our team is performing so well, got a lot of great chemistry and good communication going back and forth,” he said. “Everybody’s confidence is very high. Everybody’s mood and morale is really high. “Hopefully, we can maintain that and not have any bad luck or make any mistakes and continue to keep working towards winning more races. ... I feel really good. I feel like we’re coming around the corner, peaking at the right time this season to try to run for the championship.”

NASCAR’s new knockout style of qualifying for Sprint Cup drivers got its first test at Phoenix International Raceway on Friday, and while it was much better received by most than the one-car-at-a-time sessions of the past, it did draw some complaints. Chief among them was the griping about cars slowly circling the track to cool their engines after making a qualifying run. The complaint was that those slow cars could pose a hazard to others running at top speed. Teams typically tape off the radiator opening for qualifying. That adds speed aerodynamically, but it also blocks off air to the radiator, causing the engine to quickly overheat, and thus the need to make slow laps to cool the engine. Drivers and teams are asking NASCAR to allow them to bring cooling machines, which circulate ice water through the engine, to pit road and hook them up during the qualifying sessions. “I think NASCAR needs to look at letting us cool the engines down on pit road so we can run full tape the full time,” said Jamie McMurray, who qualified third fastest. “The whole running around — and everyone is going to do it — with that much difference in speed is hard to see into Turn 1. You don’t know if someone is coming. The excitement for me was good. But we need to be able to work on cooling the cars down.” The cooling issue also meant that drivers

Nationwide victory Saturday In capturing his 64th career Nationwide Series triumph at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday, Kyle Busch did something he’d never done before: He won a rain-shortened race. He also did something he’s done regularly in the past. He dominated the race from start to finish, leading 155 of 168 laps to win for the third straight time and seventh overall at Phoenix. It was the fourth straight for his crew chief, Adam Stevens, who also won with Joey Logano in the fall of 2012. Kevin Harvick finished second ahead of Brad Keselowski, Kyle Larson and Matt Kenseth, as Cup drivers dominated the top of the finishing order. “This is my first time winning a rain-shortened one,” Busch said after a two-hour wait before officials called the race. “Welcome to the tent. I don’t know that it really made a whole lot of difference. We were really good. I would have loved to gone back out there after, but the weather wasn’t on our side.”
Harvick wants more safety features added at Daytona After wrecking into a section of the wall at Daytona International Speedway during the last lap of the Daytona 500, Kevin Harvick, in his pre-race press session at Phoenix, called on the Daytona track to add SAFER barrier extensions to its $400 million grandstand overhaul now underway. But he didn’t sound like he thought it would happen. “The tracks, for the most part, don’t listen to really anything unless it’s profitable for their shareholders,” Harvick said. “So, when you see somebody spending $400 million dollars on their track and they don’t have soft walls around the inside, maybe they could spend $403 million to go ahead and finish the inside of the superspeedway there at Daytona.” He said he’d been sore during the days after the 500. “It was a hard shot,” he said. “It’s a little bit frustrating because it really shouldn’t even be a debate. I know they have data that shows where the most frequently hit spots are, but we wear all this safety equipment and do all the things that we do to these race tracks for that one freak incident to keep things from happening like happened back in 2001 [Dale Earnhardt’s fatal crash]. “So, it shouldn’t even be a debate. It’s just one of those things, I guess, that you just wait around for something else to happen and then they’ll fix it.”

1 The Elliott family
Bill Elliott’s NASCAR career, which recently landed him a nomination to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, illustrates the devotion it takes to make it in the nation’s most competitive form of motorsports. Back in the 1970s, when most of their racing peers in north Georgia were making good livings racing on the short tracks of the Southeast, Elliott, his father, George, and brothers, Dan and Ernie, turned their focus to NASCAR. It was a most humble beginning. They started in a hand-me-down car prepared in an old schoolhouse near Dawsonville that was part car dealership, part junkyard and part speed shop. In his first start in NASCAR’s elite division, at Rockingham in 1976, then-20-year-old Elliott started 34th and ran just 32 laps before his engine blew. He finished 33rd, winning $640, about half of what a 100-lap Saturday night feature paid to win at that time. And those Saturday night features were far less expensive to run. There were many similar disappointments early on, but the Elliotts persevered, making do with friends and family for crew members, and Dan and Ernie working other tasks to earn income while Bill was the only full-time crew member. By the 1980s, the Elliotts had built a promising but still underfunded team, which was sold to Michigan businessman Harry Melling. And they had a driver that dominated the superspeedways, earning the “Awesome Bill” nickname that still sticks today. Many in NASCAR are predicting that Elliott will be elected to the Hall on the first ballot, given his performance in the 1980s, when he led the way for Ford Motor Co.’s NASCAR efforts en route to the 1988 championship and an eventual 44 career victories and 55 poles. “If that happens, it happens,” Elliott said of his first-ballot

As he once said in an interview, his family’s achievements in NASCAR would be like Orville and Wilbur Wright taking their airplane and flying to the moon. “I just wish some of the people that helped make it happen, like Mother and Daddy and Harry Melling, were here to be a part of it,” Elliott said. “That part is kind of sad.” The Hall’s selection committee is set to vote in five new inductees on May 21.

MLS prepared to start season without refs The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Major League Soccer is prepared to start its season this weekend even if there isn’t a labor deal with its referees and other on-field officials. The Professional Soccer Referee Association was certified by the National Labor Relations Board last May to represent referees, assistant referees and fourth officials working MLS games. It has not reached an agreement with the Professional Referee Organization, which was created by the U.S. Soccer Federation and MLS in 2012 to manage game officials in U.S. and Canadian professional leagues. The PSRA has filed a pair of unfair labor practice charges with the NLRB’s New York office, accusing the PRO of bad-faith bargaining and making threats against PSRA members. PSRA members voted 64-1 last month to authorize an unfair labor practice strike. “We will be opening up this weekend with referees, and we are absolutely in a position to have a contingency plan in the event that those discussions don’t end positively,” MLS Commissioner Don Garber said Tuesday. “We have so many things that we’re gearing up for with our 2014 season. Nothing is going to stop us from having a strong opening and to continue to grow this league.” PSRA chairman Steve Taylor said there are economic and non-economic issues. “They have not made significant movement,” he said of the PRO. Answering questions from reporters and fans during a season kickoff session, Garber said increasing the league’s television ratings is a priority. Viewers for national television broadcasts during the regular season dropped from an average of 180,000 viewers in 2012 to 170,000 last year, according to Nielsen Media Research. MLS has been negotiating with ESPN and Fox to replace deals with ESPN and NBC that expire at the end of this season. Garber said while quality of play, attendance, soccer-specific stadiums have increased, “our national television ratings have not grown at the same level.” “So we need to figure out why that’s happening. Obviously, there’s a lot more competition than there ever was. Viewers have more alternatives. We need not to fight that but accept it and address it,” he said. “Our games have been scheduled all over the week. It’s been difficult even if you work in the league office to know what time and what day a game is taking place. So our new agreements will be very, very, very focused in terms of a specific date and time.” Garber said progress has slowed on obtaining a new stadium for New York City FC, which joins the league along with Orlando, Fla., in 2015 as MLS expands to 21 teams.

Rebels facing versatile Clarke The Associated Press
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Coty Clarke wasn’t one of the most heralded recruits when he arrived at Arkansas out of junior college before last season. The senior, however, has since turned into one of the most important — and versatile — players for the surging Razorbacks, who have won seven of eight games and appear on the verge of returning to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2008. Arkansas (20-9, 9-7 Southeastern Conference) extended its winning streak to five games with Saturday’s win over Georgia, doing so behind a career-high 23 points from Clarke. The scoring output was a personal best for the 6-foot-7 forward, but his overall impact was nothing new in the eyes of coach Mike Anderson,
who called Clarke “a guy that is a glue guy that has slowly become the leader of this basketball team.” Heading into Wednesday night’s game against Mississippi (17-12, 8-8), Clarke has a team-high 70 assists this season for Arkansas. He’s also second with an average of six rebounds per game and has shown an adept outside touch as well — connecting on 20 of 46 (43.5 percent) 3-pointers. All in all, he’s become ev-
erything Anderson could have dreamed of while recruiting the former Lawson State (Ala.) Community College standout, who averaged 12.8 point and 12.1 rebounds per game while there over two seasons. “I think guys are following his beat,” Anderson said. “And if he can continue to play at the high level he is playing at right now, a lot of good things will continue to happen for this basketball team. ... To me, the unselfishness that he brings to the table has kind of tripled throughout out basketball team.” Arkansas hasn’t won six straight regular-season SEC games since the 1997-98 season under former coach Nolan Richardson, a mark it can equal on Wednesday night. The Razorbacks have already secured their first 20-win campaign since the 2007-
08 season, the last time the school reached the postseason. For all of the good vibes right now surrounding Arkansas, however, the Rebels present a particular challenge in that they have won four straight games in Bud Walton Arena — and six straight overall against the Razorbacks. Arkansas hasn’t beaten Ole Miss since a win in Oxford in 2010, though Rebels coach Andy Kennedy puts little stock in the past. “I’d like to tell you that those prior four games would have some influence on our game Wednesday night, but unfortunately for us they will not,” Kennedy said. “ (Arkansas is) playing with a great deal of confidence, a real sense of urgency that you would expect as they’re closing in on tryPlease see OLE MISS | 13A
Running down the NCAA bubble teams The Associated Press
Providence has put itself in position to make the NCAA tournament for the first time in a decade with a strong lateseason run. The Friars know there’s still some work to do if they’re going to get it. “We know anything we get, we have to work for,” Providence senior guard Bryce Cotton said. “This is no different. We are right there, right at the cusp. We see the light at the end of the tunnel, but we have to keep climbing to get there.” Providence opened the season with 10 wins in its first 12 games, then started 5-2 in the Big East. Four losses in five games threatened to derail the Friars’ NCAA chances, but they have bounced back with three wins in four games.
Providence has a so-so RPI of 56, but does have wins over Xavier, Creighton and St. John’s in Big East play. The Friars also helped their cause with a must-win victory over Seton Hall on Friday to avenge an earlier loss. Providence still has a tough road left, though; the Friars close out the regular season against Marquette and No. 13 Creighton before playing in the Big East tournament. Providence isn’t the only team hanging by the bubble this late in the season. The 68-team bracket has 36 at-large bids, but there are likely only a dozen or so that are not all but spoken for at this point. In other words, there’s still quite a few teams sweating it out.

S. Carolina, Tennessee headline deep SEC field The Associated Press
DULUTH, Ga. — South Carolina coach Dawn Staley says the depth of the SEC gives her extra pride in the Gamecocks’ first conference title. The Gamecocks (26-3, 14-2 SEC) are the team to beat in the Southeastern Conference tournament, which begins on Wednesday night. The league’s depth shows as five of the top 12 teams in the NCAA’s RPI are from the SEC. How deep is the league? LSU , only the No. 10 seed in the SEC tournament, is No. 12 in RPI. Sixth-ranked Tennessee (245, 13-3 SEC) beat No. 5 South Carolina on Sunday to clinch the second seed in the SEC tournament. South Carolina, Tennessee and the tournament’s other top seeds — No. 15 Texas A&M and No. 12 Kentucky — are off until Friday. Missouri plays Mississippi State and Arkansas faces Mississippi in the first round on Wednesday night. There will be four games on Thursday: Vanderbilt vs. Georgia; Florida vs. Missouri/Mississippi State winner; LSU vs. Ala-
bama and Auburn vs. Arkansas/ Ole Miss winner. There are only four top 25 teams in the SEC, but Staley and other coaches say that’s because some teams like Georgia fell out of the poll once the conference schedule began. “Probably one of the things I’m most proud of as regular-season champions is because of the competition ... from top to bottom,” Staley said. “There aren’t any gimmes in our league and that’s why we feel like we play in the top conference in America.” Here are five things to know as Duluth, near Atlanta, hosts its second-straight tournament and fourth overall: NCAA NO. 1 SEEDS ON THE LINE: South Carolina and possibly Tennessee could be playing for No. 1 seeds in the NCAA tournament.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — B.J. Upton was suffering through the most dreadful season of his career and little brother Justin was in the same Atlanta clubhouse, a perfect shoulder to lean on as he navigated through the unfathomable time. But he didn’t seek comfort from him. In fact, he didn’t reach out to anyone for help. “It was difficult, but I’m kind of a loner,” Upton told The Associated Press, his gaze fixed skyward as he sat in the dugout on a recent dreary day in spring camp. “I handle things my own way. That’s just kind of the way it is.” Justin is three years B.J.’s junior, shorter and stockier, but in his face and the timbre of his voice, the resemblance is unmistakable. The younger Upton shook his head when asked if it surprised him
that B.J. didn’t ask for his support when he dealt with hitting just .184 and being benched in his first year with the Braves. The season-long slump came after he signed a five-year, $75.25 million contract. “Nobody’s going to help you fix yourself,” Justin said. “People take that a little too far, I think. Until something clicks with you in your mind things won’t go the right direction. You have to fix yourself before anyone else can.” OK, but surely B.J. talked to his parents, with whom he’s very close, about his problems. Nope. Not his mother and not even his father, Manny “Bossman” Upton, his namesake and the reason the man born Melvin Emanuel is known as “Bossman Junior” or simply B.J. “What could anyone really say to me?

Auburn’s Ford gets his day before NFL scouts The Associated Press
AUBURN, Ala. — Greg Robinson and Tre Mason let their NFL combine numbers stand at Auburn’s pro day. Dee Ford had to work out. The defensive end, whose stock has risen since the season, wasn’t medically cleared to participate at the combine because of a previous back surgery. Ford ran the 40 in 4.53 seconds and bench-pressed 225 pounds 29 times at pro day on Tuesday before representatives from all 32 NFL teams. He tried to make up for
the surprise news at the combine. “I had no clue that I wouldn’t be able (to participate),” Ford said. “It kind of knocked off my training a little bit, because everything is timed when you’re training. I got over the hump. I actually worked out that night when I found out I couldn’t work out at the combine and was able to put up some decent numbers (Tuesday).” The 6-foot-2, 244-pound Ford had back surgery in 2011 and said he’s been examined by all 32 NFL teams and his health isn’t an issue. He worked on unfamiliar drills
requiring him to drop back as a linebacker, where he could wind up playing for some teams. “That’s something that’s foreign to me, that I didn’t do much in college,” Ford said. “It’s nothing that I can’t do.” Ford is regarded as a potential first-round pick after turning heads with his performance at the Senior Bowl. His numbers compared favorably to other defensive ends and linebacker prospects from the combine, including potential No. 1 pick Jadeveon Clowney. Ford matched Clowney for the fast 40 among defensive
ends and was tied for third on the bench press. His bench would have led linebackers while his 40 time and broad jump (10 foot, 4 inches) would both have put him in the top four. Ford’s biggest regret was that he fell just short of 30 bench press repetitions. He screamed at the end and then jokingly asked reporters to turn off their cameras. “I was very upset,” Ford said. “I hope y’all bleeped out what I said.” Robinson, meanwhile, is projected as one of the topPlease see FORD |13A

ing to get into the NCAA Tournament.� Ole Miss didn’t play at Arkansas last season, but it overcame a 15-point second-half deficit to win in Bud Walton Arena two years ago. Clarke wasn’t around for that loss, but he’s played a large role in the Razorbacks recent run of success. The Birmingham, Ala., native, who averaged 7.6 points per game last season, has scored in double figures in six of his last seven games and is now averaging 9.5 for the season. He’s one of four Arkansas players averaging
in double figures in SEC play, and he’s upped his play overall during the five-game winning streak — averaging 12.8 points and eight rebounds per game. It’s a turning into a fitting end to Clarke’s career, though he’d like nothing more than to finish it with a trip to the NCAA tournament. “That’s all I think about, when that last horn is going to blow,� Clarke said. “When I come here, I give my teammates all I’ve got because I don’t know when the last time I’ll be able to bounce a ball, or what my career holds for me after this.�
NCAA things can change on the surface of this bubble. How did they get here? A sweep by the Arizona schools. Losing to No. 3 Arizona on the road isn’t too bad, but Stanford could have used a win over Arizona State, another team clawing for an at-large bid. The Cardinal have a tough finish, too: Against Colorado and Utah, two other teams fighting for bracket spots. LSU. The Tigers’ bubble may have popped. They had a big opportunity to get a statement win against top-ranked Florida on Saturday but were never really in the game and lost for the fifth time in eight games. LSU (17-11, 8-8) still has games left against Vanderbilt and Georgia, but even winning those isn’t likely to turn selection committee heads. Winning those and a deep run in the SEC tournament could be the Tigers’ only shot. Richmond. The Spiders are losing sight of the bubble after three losses in four games, including a 23-point setback against Rhode Island on Saturday that’s not going to look too good. Richmond (18-11, 8-6 Atlantic-10) is 4-3 since leading scorer Cedrick Lindsay injured both of his knees. The Spiders have tough games against VCU and Dayton left on the regular-season schedule and will need to make some noise in the A-10 tournament.

The Ducks face a big week to close out the regular season, playing Arizona State on Tuesday night and No. 3 Arizona on Saturday, both at home. Oklahoma State. The return of Marcus Smart has done the Cowboys a world of good. Oklahoma State (19-10, 7-9 Big 12) has won three straight since the star guard returned from his fan-shoving suspension, including a had-to-have-it victory over fifth-ranked Kansas on Saturday night. A win over Kansas State on Monday night helps the Cowboys’ case even more and a win over Iowa State in the season finale could all but seal it.
Falling back Missouri. The Tigers may need to finish the season strong after dropping two of their past three games and going 4-6 over their past 10. Missouri is 20-9, but is a so-so 8-8 in the SEC, which isn’t exactly the strongest conference in the nation this season. The Tigers do have a win over UCLA, but there aren’t really any other marquee wins on the resume. Stanford. We know, the Cardinal were among the teams moving up last week and now they’re here.

Seven other teams with 16 to 19 wins are hoping

Georgia coach Andy Landers said the NCAA tournament selection committee “must take the strength of our league seriously.� Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said he hopes at least eight SEC teams make the field. DON’T FORGET THE AGGIES: South Carolina and Tennessee carry the top billing in the tournament, but Texas A&M is the defending champion and matched its best conference record in school history at 13-3.

five picks and potentially challenging Clowney and others for the Houston Texans’ No. 1 overall selection. He said he’s trying not to let such pre-draft talk stress him out, but he isn’t downplaying the significance to him. “I think it would matter to anybody,� Robinson said. “Just as high as I can go. That’s my goal. I gave it my all. The No. 1 pick, hopefully they’ll take me. I always want the best for myself and I feel I worked
for it. Wherever I go, that’s where I’ll go.� He was mostly a spectator at pro day, but said NFL scouts wanted to see him work out of the threepoint stance since he spent so much time as a run blocker for the nation’s top rushing team. Robinson is scheduled to work out for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday. Mason also participated only in position drills. He figures to be one of the first running backs picked, as a second- or third-rounder. He had indicated he
wasn’t satisfied with his 4.50 40 at the combine, but opted not to run it again. “Of course I wanted to,� Mason said. “I’m a competitor. I like to come out and compete and when I see other guys competing, I feel like I need to be in that circuit. But today I came out there to do positional drills and show how well I can catch the ball out of the backfield.� The 5-foot-9, 205 pounder does defend himself as a pass blocker, where he’s drawn some criticism from NFL draft
pundits. “I feel like I shouldn’t be criticized for it,� Mason said. “I haven’t given up many sacks at all the last two years that I played, really. I feel like that’s a strength of mine, but people knock me on that because of my size, because I’m short. But I feel like you don’t block the hole height-wise, you block it with how much heart you have.� Fifteen players worked out at pro day, including fullback Jay Prosch and cornerback Chris Davis.

And you’re trying to play with him telling you something and him telling you something, and you just kind of take it with you to the field.� The 29-year-old, who was the second overall pick in the 2002 draft by Tampa Bay and made his major league debut at just 19, doesn’t fault those who reached out to him. But, he believes at almost
you can get too much information and that’s kind of what happened,� he said. “It just kind of snowballed. I started off struggling, kind of hit the panic button and it never stopped.� His contract was the biggest ever given to a free agent by the Braves, a fact that Upton said led to a “bad situation.� He was so busy striving to live up to the expectations put on
Upton, who was touted as a five-tool, game-changing player when he was drafted out of high school. He became a key starter for Tampa Bay, hitting seven home runs in the postseason when the Rays reached the World Series in 2008, becoming the first player in franchise history to hit for the cycle a year later and stealing more than 40 bases in three consecutive seasons.

So he went to the garden and selected a three-leafed shamrock (clover was referred to as shamrock in those days) to demonstrate the three leaflets in one leaf.

Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Concerned in Galesburg, Ill.,” about photographing naked babies. I have a slightly different problem, but it’s in a similar vein. I have a toddler grandson. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned, but our daughter-in-law has close to 500 pictures of the boy naked, from birth to his second birthday. She also has videos of him naked in the bathroom, recording him for several minutes while he’s getting ready to take his bath. My son and I have talked about this, and he, too, finds this to be odd behavior. A few pictures would be normal, but 500 seems excessive for anyone. Neither of us has talked to her about this. She has since taken the boy and moved out. We do not consider this pornography, but we cannot understand why there are so many photos. Can you help? -- Concerned Grandmother Dear Grandmother: We would be concerned, too. New parents often take hundreds of pictures of their children, but 500 naked photos and videos is excessive by any standard. Add to that your daughter-
Annie’s Mailbox in-law’s taking the boy and leaving the home, and we worry that she is using these photos for purposes other than a personal record. There may be nothing going on, but your son needs to be vigilant. He should visit with the boy often and not be afraid to ask his wife about the photos and videos. He also should seek legal counsel if they do not reconcile soon. Dear Annie: I am a highly educated individual who speaks English as a second language. Sometimes I have to deal with customers over the telephone. There have been instances in which I have been told, “Your English is terrible” or “Call me back when you learn the language.” It’s not as if these individuals have a Ph.D. in English. Their grammatical mistakes are horrible. Just because English is their first language does not mean they have finished elementary school. Who are they to pass
judgment over foreigners speaking English? Annie, what should people in my situation tell these very rude people? I doubt they understand the meaning of the word “xenophobia.” There are many hardworking, productive people in this country with an accent. Please tell your readers to try to understand how difficult it is to learn another language and to stop being so disrespectful to us. -- Sick of Xenophobes in Jeffersonville, Ind. Dear Indiana: Agreed, and we hope our readers are paying attention. These rude people are not commenting on your language skills or your intelligence. They are telling you that your accent is too thick for them to understand what you are saying. Of course, this doesn’t excuse them. The polite response when you don’t understand someone is, “Excuse me. I didn’t catch that. Could you please repeat it more slowly?” There is absolutely no reason to be insulting. When faced with such disrespect, your best response is to be polite and patient.

Theater Auditions
AiM Youth Arts Guild will be holding auditions for their One Act Show and Competiton on April 4,5 & 6 Both plays will hold open auditions March 10 & 11 at 6 pm at the Latta Theater in the McNairy County Visitors and Cultural Center at 205 West Court Ave. Selmer, Tenn. The upcoming plays and their casting needs include: • Cheating Death - Director Hunter Steele. 2 males, 4 females and 1 could be either. Ages needed 12-21. When the Angel of Death visits a mental hospital to collect someone on his list, he accidentally reveals himself to the wrong person. After struggling to convince the patients of his identity, Death attempts to correct his potentially fatal mistake and demands to know which one of them is actually the one he came for. But the patients refuse to give up their friend’s true identity, even after Death insists that if he doesn’t perform the touch of death within the allotted time, the consequences could be disastrous. • Shuffling- Director Houston Robinson. 1 male 1 female 1-14 flexible. Ages needed 12-21. Lacey, a teenage girl, has finished work at the mall and is waiting – and waiting – for her boyfriend to pick her up. Left stranded yet again, she reevaluates her love life while shuffling through the songs on her iPod. Actors portraying each of the songs appear with comedic monologues that stir her emotions, offer advice, and affect her decisions. Ethan, a good-humored co-worker,
offers her a ride home and the possibility of future romance.
