Plans get underway for ’14 Charity Ball It was a beautiful, sunny morning as Sherry Johnson, chapter president of Junior Auxiliary, Charity Ball Chair, Kacie Hudson and Charity Ball Co-Chair, Carmen Leister gathered at the home of Mary Dee Kemp to hang a banner distinguishing her as the winner of the 2013 Outstanding Citizen Award.

The Outstanding Citizen Award is presented yearly to an exemplary individual who has been dedicated to served and contributed to their community. This year’s charity ball is set for March 22 and planning is now underway.

Kemp was radiant as she accepted the honor and said the award came as a complete surprise to her when she was honored last year.

After hanging the banner, the four women excitedly discussed plans for the upcoming ball.

As is customary, the 2014 Outstanding Citizen will be presented at the event.

This year, the 52nd Annual Charity Ball Fundraiser will be held March 22 at the Corinth Coliseum Civic Center.

The location, which changes yearly, has been at such venues as, The Crossroads Arena, Shiloh Ridge Athletic Club and Hillandale Country Club.

This year, the chapter is bringing the event back to downtown Corinth and will feature food

With tax season now upon us, it is time to focus on finances.

We’ve managed to avoid it all year, but now Uncle Sam is calling and he wants his due.

So, locate those old receipts, round up those W2’s and start thinking mathematically.

Filing taxes can be a daunting and time consuming task, especially for first time preparers, but it is important to remember filing early can mean a speedier refund.

Not to mention the peace of mind it brings knowing they are done and over with for the year.

“I would file as soon as possible because if for some reason you get busy and forget, they will penalize you after the deadline has passed,” said Independent Tax Consultant, Shawna Butler of Corinth. “If you wait until the last minute, you’ll be scrambling to get it done.”

The IRS recently released

national statistics for the 2014 tax filing season showing that 15 percent more refunds have already been issued this year, compared to last years results.

The average federal refund was approximately $3, 211.

That’s a $190 increase compared with the same period a year ago.

“In Mississippi, as of Feb. 17, taxpayers have seen a three percent increase in refund amounts compared to last year. In addition, nearly 500,000 electronic tax returns, up 20 percent, have been filed,” said IRS Spokesman Mark Green. “We expect 1.3 million tax returns to be filed in Mississippi, with about 1.1 million electronically.”

There are definite advantages to filing tax returns as an individual because it allows the preparer to set their own pace, take a look at personal finances and be in full control of their returns.

Volunteers sought for cleanup on Civil War Park Day

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Volunteers throughout Mississippi are teaming up with the Civil War Trust in an effort to assist local preservation organizations with the maintenance of protected Civil War sites.

The Corinth Battlefield Unit of Shiloh National Military

Park along with the Friends of the Siege and Battle of Corinth and the William P. Rogers Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp will participate in the event on March 22.

The Corinth Battlefield preservation activity for this year will include landscape work on the historic grounds of the

Verandah-Curlee House in order to prepare the site for the upcoming Corinth Home and Garden Tour on April 5.

“We hope to have the Verandah-Curlee House open on April 5 for the tour and need help spucing up the grounds,” said Supervisory Park Ranger,” Ashley Berry. “This cleanup is

much needed.”

Volunteers are needed to aid in flower bed clean up, intrusive ivy removal, and possibly tree limb cutting.

The cleanup is being held as part of Civil War Park Day, a nationwide, hands-on preservation event underwritten by a grant from History which

Qawwas. “There is no grease involved and everything is made fresh.”

Johnny Knight is an advocate of the diet. The 43-year-old uses the method to maintain his weight after dropping 250 pounds.

“I have a salad four days a week and have been coming here since the day it opened,” said Knight of his dining at JT’s.

Knight’s favorite salads are the Greek and Tabouli.

The Mediterranean diet incorporates the basics of healthy eating — plus a splash of flavorful olive oil and perhaps even a glass of red wine — among other components characterizing the traditional cooking style of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Corinthian Leslie Bivens has dropped 49 pounds since incorporating the diet into her lifestyle.

“Studies show the Med-

iterranean cuisine is good for you,” she said. “I know by eating this type of food often it will help my diet.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, most healthy diets include fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains, and limit unhealthy fats. While these parts of a healthy diet remain tried-andtrue, subtle variations or differences in proportions of certain foods may make a difference in your risk of heart disease.

Research has shown the traditional Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of heart disease. An analysis of more than 1.5 million healthy adults demonstrated that following a Mediterranean diet was associated with a reduced risk of death from heart disease and cancer, as well as a reduced incidence of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.

“The taste is what got me here,” said Dr. Matt Johnson, who dines twice a week at JT’s. “Alex does

things that don’t taste diet but works with a diet … my wife and kids love it.”

Johnson has gone from 255 pounds down to 195 since turning to the diet.

“It’s a pretty frequent stop for me,” said Johnson. “Greek food is pretty healthy and there are lots of healthy things I like to eat here.”

Birmingham, Alabama’s Anthony Ralph used the Mediterranean style of diet to lose weight.

“Everything is made with olive oil, which is healthier,” said Ralph, who stops at the local restaurant routinely on his way to Memphis, Tenn. “I made the switch to Mediterranean food five years ago, eating mostly salads.”

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends the Mediterranean diet as an eating plan which can help promote health and prevent disease.

The Mediterranean diet is also one the whole family can follow for good health.

serving their communities.

Last year, nearly 8,000 volunteers showed up and donated more than 36,000 hours of their time to at 105 historic sites across the country.

Organizers hope to build upon these impressive figures during this year’s cleanup.

Volunteers at Corinth’s cleanup will receive commemorative Park Day t-shirts in exchange for their hard work and have an opportunity to listen to a local historian as he relates the significance of the site.

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes: ■ Eating primarily plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts.

■ Replacing butter with healthy fats, such as olive oil.

■ Using herbs and spices instead of salt to flavor foods.

■ Limiting red meat to no more than a few times a month.

■ Eating fish and poultry at least twice a week The Mediterranean diet traditionally includes fruits, vegetables and grains. For example, residents of Greece average six or more servings a day of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables.

“I want my business to be health conscious and everything as healthy as it can be,” said Al-Qawwas.

“So many people are committed to this type of diet.”

BENSON “The Corinth battlefield is excited about this years Park Day. We expect a large turn out and are thankful for the help we will receive in improving the state of one of Corinth’s historical homes, the Verandah-Curlee House,” said Volunteer Coordinator for Shiloh Military Park, Heather Henson.

According to civilwar. org, Park Day is an excellent opportunity to bring Civil War enthusiasts together in an effort to help keep our nation’s Civil War heritage not only preserved, but pristine.

Those who wish to participate in the project are

encouraged to be at the Verandah-Curlee House, located at 705 Jackson Street near downtown Corinth at 9 a.m. They should wear appropriate clothing and bring work gloves, small gardening tools, chainsaws and rakes.

Work on the project will take approximately four hours and conclude before 1 p.m. Anyone who wishes to assist should call and register with Park Ranger, Jim Minor at 662-287-9273.

Hampton Inn Corinth Named National Lighthouse Award Winner Hotel ranked in top five percent of Hampton Hotels in United States (www.hampton.com), the global brand of mid-priced Hampton Inn and Hampton Inn & Suites hotels, has honored the Hampton Inn Corinth, located at 2107 Highway 72 West, with the company’s Lighthouse Award, designating it as one of the hotel chain’s top performing hotels among more than 1,900 Hampton properties.

Hampton Hotels

Hampton Inn Corinth was recognized for its high rankings in overall accommodations, service and quality. The award criteria was based on customer feedback measured through guest satisfaction surveys on the hotel, as well as product quality and service scores measured quarterly by the Hampton Hotels brand.

“The competition to be among the elite group of Hampton Lighthouse Award winners becomes stronger each year as the Hampton brand continues to add more hotels and continually looks for ways to strengthen the guest experience. This makes us especially proud to receive the honor,” said Rickey Marecle, general manager of Hampton Inn Corinth.

“I knew one day I would retire, but I just didn’t know when,” said the mother of one. “I have been working since the age of 16 … at some point you decide it’s time to go.”

Banking has changed through the years, according to the Regions employee.

“When I started, you were a teller, but now we are called teller specialists since we specialize in a lot of different things,” said Benson, who has been through four mergers while an employee. “Tellers are very skilled today.”

“Over the years, the position has gone from a transaction specialist to more of a relationship

based job,” added branch manager Paula Smith.

“Teller specialists are able to help customers with many of their financial questions.”

Through her job, Benson was able to put her daughter, Sherre Ferguson, through school.

“Some mothers were able to stay at home with the children while their husband worked, but as a single parent I couldn’t do that,” said the grandmother of two. “Working becomes natural when you enjoy what you do.”

Benson has also shared in both the good and bad times of her customers.

“People have come to me with their problems and asked me to pray for them,” said the daughter of the late Harrison and Nannie Damons. “I have learned so much about my customers through our time at the bank.”

Smith said it’s Benson’s friendly smile that puts people at ease.

“Eleanor has a con-

tagious smile,” said her longtime friend. “She has a caring attitude and her pleasant smile is the reason her customers love her.”

Traveling to spend more time with her daughter and grandchildren – Lexy and D.J. – along with continuing to serve in the role of church secretary at her City Road Temple Methodist Church is going to take up most of her time.

“I also plan on doing some social work when I leave,” said Benson, who has a sociology degree from Lane.

Regions Bank will have a reception to honor its faithful employee on March 27 from 4:30-5:30 p.m.

“I told her we aren’t going to let her leave,” said Smith with a smile.

“I am going to miss the people and atmosphere around here,” added Benson. “By the grace of God, I will soon be able to relax.

He brought me through it and I wouldn’t have made without Him.”

The Junior Auxiliary (JA) is a non-profit service organization dedicated to improving the lives of children in Alcorn County. It is a chapter of the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries.

Since its founding in 1941, JA has been an asset to the community and a godsend to those who lives have been impacted by their service.

Today in history

Prentiss appoints new commissioner

Today is Sunday, March 9, the 68th day of 2014. There are 297 days left in the year.

BOONEVILLE — Prentiss County supervisors have appointed their second interim election commissioner in less than a month.

Supervisors named Chris Lindley Monday to fill the unexpired term of his father, first district Election Commissioner Johnny Lindley.

Johnny Lindley submitted his resignation to the board citing only personal reasons. He has served as election commissioner from the first district for more than 27 years.

Last month supervisors appointed Travis Browder to serve as interim second district election commissioner to fill the seat vacated with the resignation of Melvin Putt due to health reasons.

Both interim commissioners will serve until a special election can be

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 9, 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court, in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, raised the standard for proving libel, unanimously ruling that public officials who charged they’d been defamed by the press concerning their official duties had to demonstrate “actual malice� on the part of the news organization in order to recover damages.

On this date: In 1862, during the Civil War, the ironclads USS Monitor and CSS Virginia (formerly USS Merrimac) clashed for five hours to a draw at Hampton Roads, Va. In 1916, Mexican raiders led by Pancho Villa attacked Columbus, N.M., killing 18 Americans.

In 1933, Congress, called into special session

by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, began its “hundred days� of enacting New Deal legislation.

In 1945, during World War II, U.S. B-29 bombers launched incendiary bomb attacks against Japan, resulting in an estimated 100,000 deaths.

In 1954, CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow critically reviewed Wisconsin Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy’s anti-communism campaign on “See It Now.�

In 1977, about a dozen armed Hanafi Muslims invaded three buildings in Washington, D.C., killing one person and taking more than 130 hostages. (The siege ended two days later.)

In 1989, the Senate rejected President George H.W. Bush’s nomination of John Tower to be defense secretary by a vote of 53-47.

In 1994, the U.N. Human Rights Commission condemned anti-Semitism, putting the world body on record for the first time as opposing discrimination against Jews.

In 1997, gangsta rapper The Notorious B.I.G. (real name: Christopher Wallace) was killed in a still-unsolved drive-by shooting in Los Angeles; he was 24.

Pages generally run errands for officials and House staff. When asked about the week, Olivia said, “It was a great experience serving as a page in the House of Representatives, and I learned a lot about the legislative process.� Pictured (from left) Rep.

drawbacks when it comes to self tax preparation. “It can save you a substantial amount of money, but it can also hurt you,� said Butler. “The average individual may not know the tax breaks or be aware of the rules, which change every year.�

With the additional pressure of the Affordable Care Act (popularly known as Obamacare) and new questions about insurance, it is wise to consult a professional if the details are a bit foggy.

CPA (Certified Public Accounting) firms have become a popular option because they are state licensed, have met education and experience requirements and have passed all four parts of the Certified Public Accounting test.

In addition to doing your taxes, a CPA will act as your own personal financial advisor and will retain your records for you.

It is important to note that while CPA’s are a good alternative to other tax services because of their vast knowledge and experience, they can be more expensive and are probably not the best option for simple tax returns.

Not all CPA’s do taxes so it is wise to do some research before deciding on one.

As is usual during tax season, scammers are out there waiting to capitalize on unsuspecting customers who think they are getting assistance from a reputable tax service.

The Better Business Bureau Serving Mississippi recently warned the public about online companies who offer tax return preparation services, such as filelate. com, MissingW2.com, ProofofTax.com, 24hourtax.com, Tardytax.com, Bigfatrefund.com.

These companies have recieved an “F� rating from the BBB. “We have received several inquiries from consumers and businesses in Mississippi that have received emails from this company soliciting their services� said John O’Hara President/CEO of BBB serving Mississippi. “We are stressing that consumers do their homework when hiring tax return preparation services.�

In responses to the growing number of tax scams, the BBB came up with the following tips for finding a trustworthy tax preparer: ■Ask around. Get referrals from friends and family and check the company’s BBB Business Review at ms.bbb.org. ■Look for credentials, Ideally, your tax preparer should either be a certified public accountant, a tax attorney, an enrolled

agent, and/or a certified Efile provider. Find out if the preparer is affiliated with a professional organization that requires continuing education and has a code of ethics. â– Make sure they are properly registered. A tax preparer must obtain a Preparer Tax Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service. â– Do not fall for the promise of big refunds. Be wary of any tax prepara-

tion service that promises larger refunds than the competition, and avoid tax preparers who base their fee on a percentage of the refund. â– Read the contract carefully. Read tax preparation service contracts closely to ensure you understand how much it is going to cost for the service, and how the cost will be affected if preparation is more complicated and time consuming than expected.

â– Remember that a paid preparer is required by law to sign your return and fill in the preparer areas of the form. They should also include their appropriate identifying number on the return.

In addition, the preparer must give a copy of your return.

Hillary echoes appeasers’ lines

BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Without knowing that she was being recorded, Hillary Clinton told a recent gathering that when Russian leader Vladimir Putin “looks at Ukraine, he sees a place that he believes is, by its very nature, part of Mother Russia.” Her remarks come perilously close to justifying Putin’s behavior.

More of concern, they also echo the very justifications the Munich-era appeasers cited for not responding to Hitler’s incursions into Austria and the Sudetenland.

In the 1930s, it was common for advocates of appeasement toward Nazi Germany to describe Hitler’s ambitions to annex Austria and Czechoslovakia as merely an attempt to unite all Germans under one roof. When Hitler occupied the Rhineland, in violation of the Treaty of Versailles, British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin said he was just “marching into his own backyard.”

In attributing to Putin the same logic that Hitler used -- the desire to “protect my people,” Hillary is echoing the appeaser’s rationale for muting their response to Nazi aggression 80 years ago.

Putin does, indeed, cite the concentration of ethnic Russians in all of the former Soviet Republics to justify his intervention in their affairs. These Russians live there, largely, because former Soviet Leader Joseph Stalin ordered them to move there to establish a Russian ethnic presence in these conquered territories and to weaken the centrifugal forces of nationalism.

Hitler’s foreign Germans largely lived in other lands as a result of the division of territory after World War I in the Treaty of Versailles. The three million ethnic Germans who lived then in the Sudetenland area of Czechoslovakia formed the basis for his demands to take over the territory.

In this case, too, Putin is using the justification of taking care of his people to explain his invasion of the Crimea and his threats of invasion of the Ukraine.

But only Hillary is buying it.

Her comparison of Hitler’s transparently fraudulent characterization of his motivations in the ‘30s with Putin’s today was not to demean Putin’s, but rather to offer it some context and explanation, just one step short of a justification.

Putin could care less about the ethnic Russians in Ukraine, just like Hitler did not care about the ethnic Germans living abroad.

Each used them as an excuse for territorial acquisition and aggression.

It’s too bad that Hillary chose to repeat this rationale for aggression in this context.

Her embrace of Putin’s rationale -- or at least her citing it without refutation -- illustrates her naivete when it comes to the Russian leader.

The only thing Putin is looking to “reset” is the territorial boundary of Russia. Hillary didn’t see through him then, and she doesn’t quite get it now.

Prayer for today My Father, as I review my life I am impressed how accurately my deeds have copied my thoughts. And though I have failed the so often, yet I pray that thou wilt accept my yearnings, to think and work for the best in every day. Amen.

US putting pressure on the wrong country The Obama administration is showing it can be tough on foreign policy. Unfortunately, that toughness is not directed at Russia and its incursion into Crimea, but at Israel, America’s ally.

In an interview with President Obama, prior to the Washington arrival of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Jeffrey Goldberg of Bloomberg.com writes that the president planned to tell Netanyahu “that his country could face a bleak future if he refuses to endorse a U.S.-drafted framework agreement for peace with the Palestinians.” Goldberg adds, “Obama will warn Netanyahu that time is running out for Israel as a Jewish-majority democracy.”

“There is an existential threat to Israel,” Secretary of State John Kerry told the Saban Forum in December, “...that makes it impossible for Israel to preserve its future as a democratic, Jewish state without resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a two-state solution.”

Scare tactic, or no?

There are two obvious flaws in this approach toward Israel. One is that the proposed peace plan cannot work without Palestinian-Israeli reciprocity.

For decades, anti-Semitic pronouncements and propaganda have dominated radical Muslim thinking.

Wars and terrorist attacks

have been launched against Israel in hopes of ridding the region of any Jewish Cal presence. In Thomas some Arab textbooks, Columnist in videos, in the Arab press and in fundamentalist Muslim sermons, the aim of radical Islamists is to wipe Israel off the map by whatever means necessary.

No entity that believes it has direct orders from God to kill those who do not believe as they do is going to anger God by making agreements with people they regard as infidels. The former president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, articulated the thinking of many Arabs and Muslims when he said in 2005 that Israel is a “tumor” and that a Palestinian state is just the “first step” toward Israel’s annihilation.

The other flaw in the administration’s thinking is the “demographic disaster” it claims Israel faces if it does not work to establish a Palestinian state.

According to data compiled by former Israeli diplomat Yoram Ettinger, drawn from the 2013 CIA World Factbook and other sources, the idea that Israel is being overwhelmed by

an Arab population with a higher birthrate is incorrect.

Ettinger points to an article written by Rasha Abou Jalal, a Gaza journalist, who wrote: “While Islam calls for believers to bear many children and prohibits the use of birth control, new Palestinian generations are defying tradition and leaning toward limiting the number of children they have.” Jalal credits, or blames, a desire among Palestinians to improve their lives.

“The unprecedented decline in Muslim fertility,” writes Ettinger, “has been driven by modernity (including) accelerated women’s rights, urbanization, education, career mentality and family planning.”

A June 2012 study by the Washington-based Population Reference Bureau (PRB) supports Ettinger’s position. It found that “Seventy-two percent of 15- to 49-year-old Palestinian married women prefer to avoid pregnancy, as do 78 percent in Morocco, 71 percent in Jordan, 69 percent in Egypt and Libya, 68 percent in Syria, 63 percent in Iraq and 61 percent in Yemen.” The PRB also states “a growing number of women are using contraception, as family planning services have expanded in the Arab region.”

Meanwhile, the birthrate

among Israeli women has increased markedly. Ettinger writes of a “robust 66 percent Jewish majority in the combined area of Judea, Samaria and pre-1967 Israel.” By contrast, Jews were in the minority in earlier eras, comprising only 9 percent of that region’s population in 1900 and 39 percent in 1947. Writes Ettinger: “All doomsday demographic projections have failed due to their reliance on past demographic data, underestimating Jewish fertility, overestimating Arab fertility and discarding the feasibility of significant waves of Aliyah (Jewish immigration).”

Since 2010, five nuclear scientists have been assassinated in Iran. Some believe Israel is somehow responsible, which, according to CBS News.com, prompted the Obama administration to send “strong signals” that the U.S. “did not want Israel to continue the assassinations.” Yet, the president has not taken sufficient action to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, which then could be used against Israel. Which deadly outcome is the most egregious?

When it comes to Israel and Crimea, this administration has it backward.

The Russian reset to nowhere The “reset” with Russia had a brief, unhappy life. It began with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presenting her Russian counterpart with a mistranslated reset button reading “overcharged.” It ended with current Secretary of State John Kerry denying knowledge of the late, unlamented policy on “Meet the Press”: “Well, I don’t know what you mean by the reset.”

Memories are short in Foggy Bottom. And understandably. Who wouldn’t try to forget a geopolitical initiative that has been exposed as willful naivete and strategic obtuseness from the beginning?

George Kennan wrote the famous “Long Telegram” at the outset of the Cold War. President Barack Obama would have needed only “A Very Brief Telegram” at the outset of his administration: “Bush’s fault.”

This was a perverse misreading of history. Of all President George W. Bush’s failings, not giving the Russians a chance wasn’t one of them. He notoriously looked into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s eyes

at the beginning of his presidency and saw sweetness and light.

By the end, his illusions were shattered by the Russian invasion of Georgia in

2008.

President Obama picked up like this Russian act of aggression had been perpetrated long ago by the Grand Duke of Muscovy, instead of by the very regime he was resetting with.

In a 2009 visit to Moscow, the springtime of reset, President Obama professed his belief “that Americans and Russians have a common interest in the development of rule of law, the strengthening of democracy, and the protection of human rights.” He was 0 for 3.

It didn’t take a student of Russian history, or of international relations or even of the model U.N., to know that this would end in ashes.

At one level, the Obama administration was guilty of

the human impulse of wanting to see the world as you would like it to be rather than as it is.

At another, the president is not particularly interested in international relations. It was appropriate that one of his statements on the crisis came at an elementary school while announcing his latest budget, which reduces the U.S. Army to pre-World War II levels. Because we all know that we will never face an unexpected, unpredictable international crisis again.

This gets to the deeper ambition. The president thought Putin would help him manage an American stand-down from global leadership. Putin was happy to do so -- on his own terms.

Whereas Obama has the left’s traditional discomfort with American power, Putin has no such guilty conscience. Whereas Obama believes we’ve entered a paradisiacal new period in history when everyone can be constrained by international norms, Putin has no such delusions.

The attitudes behind the reset linger. John Kerry’s

plaintive observation that the invasion of Crimea is “a 19th-century act in the 21st century” carries the quaint assumption that raw power politics and nationalist pride are things we left behind two centuries ago.

In a similar vein, President Obama said last week that Ukraine’s stability and success are “in Russia’s interest.” Not if you are Vladimir Putin and stung by the humiliation of the Russian empire’s diminishment after the end of the Cold War and informed by Catherine the Great’s belief that the only way to secure Russia borders is to extend them.

President Obama declares that Russia is on the wrong side of history. That may be a clinching argument in a debate over gay marriage at Wesleyan University, but won’t carry much weight with Putin. He thinks he can make history move with lies, thuggery and iron.

It’s now Obama’s challenge to prove him wrong.

Change to military sex cases blocked WASHINGTON — The Senate has blocked a bill that would have stripped senior military commanders of their authority to prosecute rapes and other serious offenses in the ranks.

The vote on Thursday was 55-45, short of the 60 necessary to move ahead on the legislation.

The Pentagon’s leadership vigorously opposed the measure, arguing that officers should have more responsibility, not less, for the conduct of the men and women they lead.

Proponents of the bill sponsored by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand insisted that far-reaching changes in the Uniform Code of Military Justice were necessary to curb the scourge of rapes and sexual assaults.

The showdown vote capped a nearly yearlong campaign by Gillibrand but was unlikely to be the final word.

Mom charged for driving into ocean ORLANDO, Fla. — A pregnant South Carolina woman pointed to the ocean, locked the doors and rolled up the windows, telling her three children she was “trying to take them to a better place� as she drove her minivan into the surf, authorities said.

Ebony Wilkerson even tried to call off bystanders hustling to rescue her screaming children from the water, saying “everyone was OK� as she left the van in

the ocean, an affidavit said. Wilkerson, 32, is charged with three counts of attempted murder and three counts child abuse causing great bodily harm.

Volusia County Court Judge Shirley Green found probable cause for the charges during Wilkerson’s first appearance in court Saturday and set her bond at $1.2 million. A date for an arraignment was not released.

The bystanders and beach safety officers, paying no attention to the mother, pulled the two girls and a boy, ages 3, 9 and 10, through the windows to safety Tuesday on Daytona Beach.

Connecticut may curb loud movies NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Connecticut could become the first state to curb loud movies under proposed legislation that’s drawing opposition from the Motion Picture Association of America.

A proponent of the measure says the industry’s decision to use voluntary efforts to keep the sound down doesn’t work. But a hearing loss expert says movies are not harmful.

The legislature’s Public Safety and Security Committee is considering the bill, which would prevent theaters from showing a film or preview that exceeds 85 decibels. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommends noise should be kept below

Sunday, March 9, 2014

85 decibels for workers for eight hours to minimize hearing loss.

An industry representative and a legislative researcher say they believe Connecticut would be the first to regulate the maximum decibel level at movies.

Crisis doesn’t stop Obama’s vacation KEY LARGO, Fla. — The crisis in Crimea won’t keep President Barack Obama from forging ahead with a weekend getaway with his wife and daughters in the Florida Keys.

But it’s more than the Oval Office that will be dark as Russia’s incursion into Ukraine reaches its one week mark. Vice President Joe Biden and his wife are vacationing in the Virgin Islands. And national security adviser Susan Rice is traveling in the Middle East for meetings with her counterparts.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said “there’s always a chance� Obama could cut a trip short and return to Washington, but this weekend’s vacation appeared solid. “The fact of the matter is what the president is doing this weekend in Florida is essentially what the president would be doing if he stayed back at the White House,�

Earnest told reporters traveling with Obama.

The president, he said, was looking forward to “getting a little bit of downtime in the warm weather with his wife and daughters.�

Jackson fighting PERS on pay cuts PASCAGOULA — Jackson County lawmakers are lobbying colleagues to support an amendment that could help local officials in their fight with the Public Employees’ Retirement System over reduction in benefits for some county retirees.

Rep. Manly Barton, a Republican from Moss Point, won approval this week in the Mississippi House of an amendment that says the issue deals with accrued vacation and sick leave that PERS says is not creditable to certain retirees’ retirement.

The retirement system has asked several county retirees to repay benefits.

A lawsuit filed by the county is pending in Jackson County Chancery Court.

PERS Director Pat Robertson says she can’t comment on a matter that is under litigation.

Barton says he wants PERS to be made to prove the county wrong, not the other way around.

December shoppers trimmed spending TUPELO — Shoppers cut back in December in Tupelo, Northeast Mississippi’s retail hub, but some of the region’s cities like Corinth, New Albany and Oxford saw an increase in sales.

The Mississippi Department of Revenue’s sales tax diversion to Tupelo for December was about $1.86 million, a

5.7 percent decline from the $1.97 million collected a year earlier, The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports.

The department collects sales taxes from stores, restaurants, hotels and other businesses each month, and issues the diversions to cities a month later.

The January report reflected activity in December, says Department of Revenue spokeswoman Kathy Waterbury.

mother and her daughter were arrested Thursday on drug charges after a routine traffic stop.

Officers tell WTVA-TV that 62-year-old Judy Lucius and 43-year-old Elesha Lucius were arrested after officers pulled over their vehicle for speeding.

Investigators said both women were found to have crack cocaine. They were booked with possession of a controlled substance.

Court to hear school lawsuit appeals

Trade mission to Central America set

JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court has rescheduled oral arguments in two firing discrimination cases from Lowndes County.

Oral arguments are now scheduled for April 14 in Jackson.

Lowndes County School Board attorney Jeff Smith had asked for the delay until after the Legislature adjourns, now scheduled for April 6. Smith serves in the Mississippi House.

Smith said state law allows legislators/lawyers to have cases continued until a legislative session concludes.

Lynn Wright is appealing his firing in 2010 by the board from his position as principal of New Hope High School principal. In a separate case, former longtime New Hope baseball coach Stacy Hester also was fired in 2009 and sued the school district.

JACKSON — The Mississippi Development Authority will lead a delegation of Mississippi companies on a business development mission to Central America from June 9-13.

MDA officials say in a news release that the trip will include stops in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

MDA executive director Brent Christensen says the U.S. is the largest trade partner to Central America, and the free trade agreement in place between the U.S. and Central America allows Mississippi exports to enter the region dutyfree.

MDA works with potential buyers, distributors and businesses from Central America prior to meeting with members of the state delegation.

The Small Business Administration-funded Mississippi State Trade Export Promotion program reimburses eligible businesses up to 50 percent of their travel costs and provides interpretation services.

Book gives new perspective on obesity epidemic

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“A Big Fat Crisis” by Deborah A. Cohen, MD c.2014, Nation Books $26.99 / $30.00 Canada 263 pages You feel as though you might have to quit your job.

Yeah, you’re that desperate to get away from the treats that somebody’s been leaving in the break room. Nice gesture, but you’re totally incapable of resisting them and each bite ruins your diet.

It’s a point of shame that you have no willpower, but there may be more to your weight problem than lack of the word “no.” Find out by reading

the new book “A Big Fat Crisis” by Deborah A. Cohen, MD, and cut yourself some slack.

It seems as though you can’t escape it: everywhere you look, you’re reminded to eat health-

ier, get active, and lose weight. But you also can’t escape the things that taste good but are bad for you, and sticking to Dietary Guidelines “is neither easy nor fun.” In fact, most of us don’t eat right and just five percent of us get the recommended amount of exercise.

But to say that we’re weak-willed is misleading, says Cohen. Most overweight people “appear to have plenty of self-control in most other areas of their lives.” They get to work on time, volunteer, pay bills, drive safely, and raise families.

So why can’t they control what they eat?

The reason, Cohen says, is twofold: we’re hard-

wired to eat, and we’re exploited by our “food environment.” The good news is that the latter – “point of purchase and point of consumption” - are changeable. First, though, we must understand “that an individual’s ability to resist overeating is limited when excess food is constantly available.” In other words, for myriad reasons, the more we try to control our appetites, the less we can avoid that extra donut or large O-rings.

The fixes are many: pay attention to what you eat; just seven extra calories a day will result in surprisingly big weight gain.

Familiarize yourself with caloric content. Become aware of how marketing

promotes overeating. And support government regulations on grocery stores and restaurants; after all, laws keep us safe from cholera and typhoid. They should be able to keep us safe from obesity, too.

So you say you need to lose ten pounds – but they’re kicking your (wellpadded) butt? It might not be your fault, and “A Big Fat Crisis” tells you why but not without an extra helping of controversy.

On one side of the table, this book should be a big comfort to anyone who’s shamed by weight and temptation. Author Deborah A. Cohen, MD takes the onus off dieters by explaining that it may be

genuinely true that they can’t help themselves. Cohen doesn’t let them totally off the hook, though; she still scolds, but not terribly harshly.

The controversy, however, lies in Cohen’s strongly-opinionated solutions. Specifically, restaurant owners, grocers, vendors, and retailers won’t like ‘em. Not one crumb.

Obviously, this isn’t your usual diet-and-exercise book. There are conversation-starters on every page here, and lots to think about. But if you’re concerned about obesity, eating right, and your family’s weight, “A Big Fat Crisis” might give you the skinny.

Service held for Lumumba Religion bill stirs up conflict

BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — More than 150 friends and family members mourned Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba on Friday, remembering his career as a human rights activist, prominent attorney and black nationalist.

Lumumba was a onetime official of the Republic of New Afrika, a group that sought “an independent predominantly black government” in the southeastern U.S. Still an advocate for transformative economic and political changes, he moved into elective politics, rising to mayor in 2013.

“Our hearts are broken, but it’s hard not to celebrate after knowing such a distinguished humanitarian,” said Safiya Omari, his chief of staff, who presided over the ceremony.

The 66-year-old Lumumba, born in Detroit as Edwin Taliaferro, died Feb. 25 of natural causes, according to Hinds County Coroner Sharon Grisham-Stewart.

Gov. Phil Bryant, a Republican, on Friday ordered flags in Jackson to fly at half-staff Saturday.

“It didn’t matter what you had and didn’t have.

Chokwe always had time and a kind work and maybe free legal advice for you,” Omari said, drawing scattered laughs at the service behind the City Hall of Mississippi’s largest city.

As Hinds County Supervisor Kenneth Stokes pointed out, Lumumba was mourned from the steps of an antebellum structure built by slaves.

Some of the speakers remembered Lumumba’s legal work. Vicksburg Mayor George Flaggs, a former Democratic lawmaker, recalled Lumumba persuading thenGov. Haley Barbour, a Republican, to release sisters Jamie Scott and Gladys Scott from a Mississippi prison after they had served 16 years for an armed robbery they said they didn’t commit “I saw him be a man who saw wrong and tried to right it, but more than that, I saw a man of awesome integrity,” Flaggs said.

As an attorney, Lumumba represented Tupac Shakur in cases including one in which the rapper was cleared of aggravated assault in the shootings of two offduty police officers who were visiting Atlanta from

another city when they were wounded. Shakur died in 1996.

Ben Jealous, former president of the NAACP, was one of many who echoed Lumumba’s slogan of “free the land,” a heritage of Lumumba’s membership in the Republic of New Afrika.

“When Chokwe said ‘Free the land,’ that’s what he means — give freedom to everyone in the land,” Jealous said.

Coltrane Chimurenga, who was acquitted in 1985 of charges that he and other black revolutionaries plotted to rob armored trucks and help people break out of jail, said people should honor Lumumba by action.

“We continue to say freedom.

Freedom!

Build. Love what Chokwe did by practice and not by words,” Chimurenga said.

A special election has been called for April 8 to choose a new mayor, with a runoff to follow April 22 if needed.

One possible candidate is Lumumba’s son, Chokwe Antar Lumumba. At Friday’s event, Stokes endorsed the younger Lumumba, saying “his son should be the next mayor for this city.”

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Lawmakers in conservative Mississippi find themselves in a tug-of-war over a religious-practices bill that some say is uncomfortably similar to one recently vetoed by Arizona’s Republican governor.

A group that lobbies for the state’s influential Southern Baptist Convention is urging lawmakers to pass the Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Others say that Mississippi, with its history of racial oppression, should avoid any law that could lead to discrimination against gay people and other groups.

Similar religious-freedom bills were filed this year in several states, including Oklahoma, South Dakota and Tennessee. A bill was withdrawn in Ohio, and similar measures stalled in Idaho and Kansas.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill after critics said it would hurt the state’s image by allowing businesses to discriminate against gay people.

One version of the Mississippi bill passed the

Senate and awaits House debate by next week. Trying to assuage fears about discrimination, a House committee removed portions similar to the Arizona measure — provisions that some attorneys said could give cover to private businesses that choose to discriminate. But critics say the Mississippi bill is still vaguely worded and subject to broad interpretation, and should be killed rather than tweaked.

In its current form, it says government cannot put a substantial burden on the practice of religion without a compelling reason. It says a person whose religious practice has been, or is likely to be, substantially burdened may cite that violation in either suing others or as a defense against a lawsuit.

“Why are they trying to enact this?” former state Supreme Court Justice Oliver Diaz asked Friday.

“No one’s religious beliefs are being trampled upon in Mississippi. My goodness, we have more churches per capita than any state in the nation.”

Jimmy Porter is executive director of the Mississippi Baptist Convention’s lobbying group, Christian Action Commission. In an email this week, he urged

lawmakers to pass the bill, saying a law would allow a person of any faith to cite his or her religious beliefs as a defense in a lawsuit.

“The national media pundits, the ACLU, LGBT lobby, and others have declared this bill as discriminatory and hateful,” Porter wrote. “That’s not true; the bill is about religious freedom.”

Human Rights Campaign, a national gayrights lobbying group, opposes the bill, as does the American Civil Liberties Union.

Todd Allen, an openly gay ordained minister who serves at a Unitarian-Universalist church in the small Mississippi town of Ellisville, said Friday that the bill seems to clear the way for businesses to use their religious beliefs to refuse service to gays and lesbians.

While same-sex marriage is illegal in Mississippi, Allen said he hopes to be able to marry a man someday, and he doesn’t want to be tossed out of a restaurant, for example, for holding hands.

“What the provision is doing is saying the restaurant owner can delegitimize my Christian marriage because of his own interpretation of Christianity,” said Allen.

MUTUAL FUNDS Obj

it expects the acquisition to cut 2014 profits by $400,000, but add to profits in 2015. First Bancshares said it expects to cut 40 percent of BCB’s non-interest expenses by early 2015.

It’s the second acquisition in southwest Alabama for First Bancshares. The company bought the bankrupt holding company of First National Bank of Baldwin County in 2013. First Bancshares paid $3.3 million to buy the Baldwin bank, which had declared bankruptcy, winning despite a higher bid from an Arkansas bank.

Using money it raised in a $20 million stock offering, First Bancshares also injected $18 million

in new capital into the Alabama bank, which suffered heavy loan losses because of the downturn in coastal real estate values, Like the Baldwin bank, Bay Bank had struggled with soured loans during the recession. As part of the deal, First Bancshares will pay off BCB’s debt and the money it received from the U.S. Treasury as part of the federal bank bailout.

The First earlier bought Mississippi coast branches that Hancock Holding Co. had to divest as part of its takeover of Whitney National Bank. After the Bay Bank takeover, First Bancshares says it will have 30 branches and $1 billion in assets across

Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana.

M. Ray Cole, President and CEO of First Bancshares, said that putting Bay Bank together with the earlier acquisition will improve The First’s market presence in the Mobile area. According to Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. records, the two banks combined will have $250 million in deposits in Alabama’s Mobile and Baldwin counties, making it the ninth-largest bank in the area with 2.7 percent of the market.

HATTIESBURG — Mississippi’s First Bancshares is expanding further into Alabama, announcing Thursday that it will buy BCB Holding Co. of Mobile, Ala. for about $6.6 million in cash and stock.

BCB is the parent company of Bay Bank, which has $80 million in assets.

Hattiesburg-based First Bancshares, the parent company of The First bank, says it expects to complete the acquisition before June’s end. Regulators and shareholders of BCB must first approve.

At least 30 percent of the purchase will be paid for with newly issued First Bancshares stock. The company says

WASHINGTON — Job growth in the United States has proved surprisingly consistent.

Brutal winter weather snarled traffic, canceled flights and cut power to homes and factories in February. Yet it didn’t faze U.S. employers, who added 175,000 jobs, far more than the two previous months.

Modest but steady hiring has become a hallmark of a nearly 5-yearold economic rebound that remains sluggish yet strikingly resilient. The economy has been slowed by political gridlock, harsh weather and global crises. But those disruptions have not derailed growth.

Though the unemployment rate rose to 6.7 per-

cent from a five-year low of 6.6 percent, it did so for an encouraging reason: More people began seeking work. The unemployment rate ticked up because most did not immediately find jobs.

Friday’s report from the Labor Department suggested that a long-hopedfor acceleration in growth and hiring still has not occurred. But that might not be all bad: Households have pared debt and avoided the excessive spending and borrowing that have undercut explosive economies in the past.

Total U.S. credit card debt is still 14 percent lower than before the Great Recession began in December 2007, according to the Federal Reserve.

And moderate but consistent hiring still means more people have money

to spend.

“A modest expansion may very well last longer than one that bursts out with big increases in spending and debt,” said David Berson, an economist at Nationwide Financial.

Some economists also suggested that having endured harsh weather, the economy may be poised to pick up soon.

“If not for poor weather conditions, job growth would have been stronger,” said Michelle Meyer, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

“This suggests we should see solid gains ... in coming months.”

The figures were a welcome surprise after recent economic data showed that severe weather had closed factories, lowered auto sales and slowed home purchases. Along with a sharp increase in wages last month, the jobs report indicated confidence among some employers that consumer spending will increase in the near future.

The severe winter appeared to have less effect on hiring than most economists had feared.

Construction companies, which usually stop work in bad weather, added 15,000 jobs. Manufacturing gained 6,000 for a second straight month.

Government added 13,000 jobs, the most in six months.

Daniel Alpert, managing partner at Westwood Capital, noted that roughly two-thirds of the job growth in January and February was in higherpaying industries. That’s a reversal from all of last

year, when about twothirds of job growth was in lower-paying fields.

A category called professional and business services, which includes better-paying jobs such as engineers, accountants and architects, along with some lower-paying jobs such as temporary workers, added 79,000 jobs in February. That was the most in a year.

Retailers, though, lost 4,100 jobs, transportation and warehousing firms 3,600.

Despite February’s solid overall gain, the monthly average of 129,000 jobs that employers have added from December through February marks the weakest three-month stretch since mid-2012. It’s down from a 225,000 average for the previous three months.

The government revised up its estimate of job gains for December and January by a combined 25,000.

Friday’s report makes it likely that the Federal Reserve will continue reducing its monthly bond purchases at its next meeting March 18-19. The Fed is buying Treasury and mortgage bonds to try to keep long-term loan rates low to spur growth. Fed policymakers have reduced their monthly bond purchases by $10 billion at each of their past two meetings to $65 billion.

On Monday, Karen Wilson will start her first full-time job with benefits in nearly eight years. As a data-entry clerk for Peoria County, Ill., she will process traffic tickets, drunk-driving violations and other citations.

Husband’s video gaming leaves wife on sidelines DEAR ABBY: I was laid off from work, but my husband, “Keith,” works full-time in a factory. We live with his parents.

By the time Keith gets home from work and gets cleaned up, it’s time to eat dinner. Immediately afterward, we always follow the same routine: We go in our bedroom and he goes on the computer to play video games, while I sit and watch TV and play on my phone.

We love each other and rarely disagree about things, but this isn’t fun for me. I have told Keith I feel ignored and I’d love to do something WITH him.

He says because our town is smallish, there’s not a lot to do that doesn’t cost money.

Keith is into the video games, so much so that when we first met, he’d sit in his bedroom and play for hours on end.

We’re planning a vacation in the next month or so, so it’s not like we do nothing at all.

But I don’t know how to improve our situation. -- CALLING FOR HELP IN KOKOMO, IND. DEAR CALLING FOR HELP: After a hard day’s work, your husband may just want to sit down and relax. But that doesn’t mean you couldn’t schedule some activity together on a weekend -- hiking, skating, kayaking, going to an art show or seeing what’s sched-

uled at the convention center. You could also make a date with other young married couples, or occasionally schedule a girls’ night out with some of your female

friends.

I agree that it’s important for you and your husband not to get into a rut. That’s why you need to budget so you CAN get out and have some fun together a few times a month.

DEAR ABBY: Several years ago I met “Holly,” the love of my life. We married and had a child. Soon after our son’s birth, I found out Holly had a boyfriend on the side. Our divorce was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. Because of her instability, I was granted custody of our son.

Since the divorce I have developed an attraction to men.

Is this normal after a nasty divorce? I never thought of myself as gay or bi until about a year afterward. I know that I never again want to experience the pain I went through.

I have been celibate now for almost four years, and I’m trying my best to set a good example for my son. I miss having someone to hold and share life with, but in the area where I live, having a gay relationship would cause me to lose my son. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated. -- IS THIS NORMAL? IN ARIZONA DEAR NORMAL: It is important that you determine exactly who you are, whether it is a walking-wounded heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual. A licensed psychotherapist can help you with this, and do it in confidence.

Regardless of your sexual orientation, you should realize that when breakups happen between couples -- and that includes male/male, female/female and heterosexual -- there is usually heartbreak involved.

However, without risk there can be no reward, and celibacy is not the answer.

If it turns out that you are, indeed, gay, then you should consider relocating to a more gay-friendly area.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Today people will tell you who they are by declaring to possess the opposite qualities.

So beware of the people who talk of being trustworthy, sensitive or generous.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

To deny yourself certain things is to be serious about your own success. Your remarkable selfdiscipline will lead to physical, financial and lifestyle improvements.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Most children like to play, and few like to clean up. This is essentially a flaw of human nature, but you’ll counteract it with your superior efforts to put a big mess back in order.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Anyone with money can buy services, but to accept them with respect and grace requires more than money. You’ll take time to learn the correct manner and etiquette to make interactions smooth.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have an outcome in mind, and you’ll need a few others to get on board for this to happen.

Your outreach will be minimal; your results, highly satisfactory on all counts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The matter that ails you will turn around in the weeks to come. A small change is all it will take to get a good result, as long as you make that small change every day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Work in small teams is favored, especially teams of two or three. You work well with earth signs now (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn). When you help someone cross the finish line, you will cross it, too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Stick with the choices you’ve made to declare and accentuate your individuality. Your confidence will be built on the things you do, wear and say that are “so you.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). While cleaning work may not feel very glamorous, everything glamorous gets a clean start. Do the necessary work, and the unnecessary work will shine.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Fleeting concerns about your image may cross your mind. Your contributions to others today will be useful, loving and fun. Therefore, anything to do with your looks will be the cherry on top of the sundae.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Be aware of what you’re beginning. Before you open a door, carefully assess whether it’s the kind that will lock behind you and keep you from getting back in.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

If you find yourself noticing the weaknesses of others, consider that this may be a strength of yours and a useful tool for helping others or motivating them to help you.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — With strands of net behind their ears, Florida seniors Casey Prather, Scottie Wilbekin, Will Yeguete and Patric Young stopped at midcourt and kissed the floor.

They stood up, started walking toward the locker room and then paused at the edge of the court. With their arms draped around each other, they took the last stride in unison. It was the first step toward the next goal — winning it all.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Antonio Barton scored 16 points and Jarnell Stokes had a double-double Saturday as Tennessee trounced Missouri 72-45 to win its fourth straight game and boost its NCAA tournament hopes.

Tennessee (20-11, 11-7 SEC) hasn’t trailed at any point during its winning streak. Its last three games have been decided by an average margin of 31 points.

Barton shot 4 of 7 from 3-point range against Missouri and has now gone 13 of 22 from behind the arc over his last three games. Stokes had 15 points and 10 rebounds. Jordan McRae added 11 points.

Jordan Clarkson had 13 points for Missouri (21-10, 9-9).

Both Tennessee and Missouri are perceived to be on the NCAA tournament bubble, raising the stakes in this regular-season finale for both teams.

Missouri had beaten Tennessee 75-70 on Feb. 15 in Columbia, but Saturday’s rematch bore no resemblance.

The Tigers shot 56.5 percent in their victory over Tennessee last month.

Missouri shot 32 percent (15 of 47) overall and was 2 of 17 from 3-point range Saturday while recording its lowest point total of the season.

Missouri’s Jabari Brown, who entered the day leading the SEC with 20.1 points per game, shot 1 of 10 and was held to eight points.

Williams was 7 of 14 beyond the arc and made five straight 3-pointers in a fiveminute stretch in the second half.

“I definitely felt good and it was just one of those moments,” said Williams. “That stretch was very important and my teammates kept encouraging me to step

up and make plays. I felt like that was what I needed to do and I felt I did a pretty good job of that.”

Mississippi State (13-18, 3-15) dropped its 13th straight game.

Craig Sword led the Bulldogs with 19 points.

South Carolina played the game with-

out head coach Frank Martin, who was serving a one-game suspension handed down by the university earlier in the week. South Carolina assistant Matt Figger handled the head coach duties on Saturday.

Southeastern Conference history to go 18-0 in league play.

“This is the way to go out,” Young said. “You couldn’t have scripted this one any better. ... What else could you want?”

Prather (15) and Wilbekin (13) also reached double figures for the Gators (29-2, 180), who have won 23 straight and 32 in a row at home.

Coach Billy Donovan called timeout with 36.9 seconds remaining to get his four seniors another standing ovation. They certainly deserved this one, especially since it was Florida’s largest margin of victory in series history.

“When you invest four years likes these guys have invested, it means something to them,”

Donovan said. “They’re going to carry this with them for the rest of their lives. They’re going to have their children and they’re going to come back here and they’re going to be remembered for what they’ve done.

“They’ve done something that’s not happened here before.”

Prather, Wilbekin, Young and Yeguete have now won 113 games in four seasons, four shy of tying the school record held by Walter Hodge.

They have the SEC tournament and the NCAA tournament to break the mark.

The latest victory seemed a lock early but was in doubt for a while in the second half.

That was until — no surprise

— the seniors took over. Wilbekin hit a 3, Young made a running hook shot and Prather started making plays at the rim.

“Those guys answered the bell,” Donovan said. “They made some plays.”

Julius Randle, who had his right knee treated during the first half, led the Wildcats (229, 12-6) with 16 points and 10 rebounds. James Young added 14 points, and Aaron Harrison chipped in 10.

Kentucky trimmed a 22-point deficit to 53-47 with 12 minutes to play, but couldn’t get any closer and ended up getting blown out.

Vanderbilt (15-15, 7-11) lost its fourth straight game. Dai-Jon Parker scored a career high 25 points and Luke Kornet also had a career high with 13.

The Commodores had a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds, but Nathan Watkins missed a 3-pointer just before the buzzer.

Henderson struggled with his shooting on Senior Day, finishing 5 of 19 from the field, including 2 of 13 from

3-point range. But he switched his strategy at the end, driving to the basket and getting fouled, which led to several clutch free throws in the final minutes.

“I just tried to encourage him to take what the defense gives you,” Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said.

BATON ROUGE, La. — After Charles Mann and Kenny Gaines turned in their latest memorable performances, the celebratory hollers of the Georgia Bulldogs could be heard through the door to the visitors’ locker room at LSU’s Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

The Bulldogs didn’t need to beat the Tigers to secure a top-four seed and coveted double-bye in next week’s Southeastern Conference tournament, but their motivation was more personal than that, and it showed on Saturday.

Mann had 22 points and 10 rebounds, Gaines buried six of seven 3-point attempts on his way to 20 points, and Georgia took home 69-61 triumph that spoiled LSU’s senior day.

“What our guys are excited about is we tied for second place in the league and not very many people outside of that room believed that was going to happen,” Georgia coach Mark Fox said.

Indeed, Georgia was forecast to finish 11th out of 14 teams in the SEC’s preseason poll.

Instead, the Bulldogs (18-12, 12-6 Southeastern Conference) racked up their most confer-

ence victories since the 13 they amassed in 1990.

“They’ve been very committed to the process and so I think they’re just excited that they’ve had some success,” Fox said of his players.

Although Georgia finished tied with Kentucky in the league standings, the Wildcats won the head-tohead tiebreaker to earn the second seed in the tournament in Atlanta.

Still, Georgia is looking strong after winning four of its last five.

“We are a really confident team,” Mann said. “We believe in each other and the system.”

Senior guard Andre Stringer led LSU (1812, 9-9) with 22 points in his final home game.

“Senior day was an important day, but I was more concerned with my team and moving forward, and getting a win before the SEC tournament,” Stringer said. “We can’t do anything about it now. We have to put it behind us and move on.”

LSU freshman Jarell Martin added 13 points for the Tigers, but Georgia limited LSU leading scorer Johnny O’Bryant III to five points — about 11 points below his average — while snapping the Tigers’ seven-game

home winning streak.

“We were double teaming him. We kept him guessing,” Mann said. “On the offensive end, we just wanted to be aggressive and get him in foul trouble.”

And they did.

O’Bryant was called for his third foul less than two minutes into the second half and committed his fourth foul with 6:30 left.

LSU will be the seventh seed in the SEC tournament and get a first-round bye before opening Thursday night against No. 10 seed Alabama. Georgia won’t play until Friday night.

Walker scores 25 as Texas A&M puts a hurt on Auburn CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer

DULUTH, Ga. — Courtney Walker sank her first seven shots and scored 25 points, leading No. 15 Texas A&M to a runaway 8654 win over Auburn on Friday night in the quarterfinals of the Southeastern Conference tournament.

Each of the top four seeds advanced to Saturday’s semifinals. Texas A&M will play No. 6 Tennessee.

Fifth-ranked South Carolina, the top seed, will play No. 12 Kentucky in the first semifinal.

“The whole nation is going to be able to see the top four teams play and all of us are in the top 15,” said Texas A&M coach Gary Blair.

“I think it’s going to be great for SEC basketball.”

Tennessee won 7655 at Texas A&M on Jan. 26. “Playing Tennessee, it’s a great platform because it’s a team with so much history,” said Aggies guard Jordan Jones, who had 11 assists, six points and three steals.

“For us to be able to step on the floor with them tomorrow speaks great volumes

to this program as well. I feel if we keep this momentum, keep on doing what we’re doing, it should be a better game than it was out in College Station.”

Karla Gilbert had 15 points and Courtney Williams added 12 for the Aggies (24-7), the defending SEC tournament champion.

Tyrese Tanner led Auburn (17-14) with 14 points. Brandy Montgomery had 12.

Auburn opened with a full-court press that the Aggies usually defeated, setting up fastbreak points and open

jump shots. Texas A&M had 15 turnovers but made 31 of 53 shots (58.5 percent).

“That’s about as good as we can play in transition basketball,” Blair said. “I was proud of our guard play. We turned it over 27 times against them at their place against that same press. I think we worked on it because they embarrassed us at their place.”

The Aggies raced to a quick 11-2 lead.

Auburn never led and coach Terri WilliamsFlournoy was forced to use her first timeout

about 2 minutes into the game.

“We didn’t start the game like we wanted to start the game and just didn’t play well tonight,” WilliamsFlournoy said.

Texas A&M already held a comfortable 45-30 lead early in the second half before turning the game into a rout. The Aggies’ 18-0 run pushed the lead to 63-30. Walker had six points in the run and then sat out the final 10 minutes, leaving her one point shy of matching her career high of 26 points.

to his ability to score in a prolific manner,” Kennedy said.

The Rebels have struggled some this season, though Henderson’s production has remained virtually the same. Ole Miss has a young frontcourt that has been inconsistent and Vanderbilt exploited it early, dominating in the paint on the way to a 37-32 halftime lead.

Parker led the Commodores with 12 points in the first half while Kornet added 11.

Vanderbilt stretched its lead to 44-32 early in the second half before a Henderson 3-pointer stopped the rally. It was one of the few times the Commodores let him get a decent look from long range.

Henderson eventually switched his approach, penetrating into the lane for some closer looks.

“The shots weren’t going in but the drives were there,” Henderson said.

Ole Miss couldn’t get any separation until Martavious Newby hit a pair of free throws to give the Rebels a 65-62 lead with 26.6 seconds left. A defensive stand in the final seconds helped secure the win, with Watkins getting a hurried look as time wound down.

“Once we finally were able to string together some baskets, the momentum shifted to us,” Kennedy said. _____

Ole Miss won despite struggling to shoot from just about everywhere on the floor. The Rebels made just 18 of 54 (33.3 percent) shots from the field, including 5 off 22 (22.7 percent) from long range. The Rebels did force Vanderbilt into 17 turnovers.

Henderson was honored before the game, receiving a warm reception from the crowd at Tad Smith Coliseum.

The 6-foot-2 guard from Hurst, Texas, hasn’t always had a smooth career and often projected a bad boy image across the SEC. Much of that was earned. He came to Ole Miss after serving a short stint in jail following a probation violation and had a run-in with Oxford police during the summer that was part of the reason for a three-game suspension this season.

He was also reprimanded by the NCAA after an outburst following the team’s loss to LaSalle in the NCAA tournament.

But the fans in Oxford love him, and there’s little denying his production.

He’s scored more than 1,000 points in two years and has made a 3-pointer in 64 straight games, which is an SEC record.

He also helped lead the Rebels to an SEC tournament title and the NCAA tournament last year.

head coach) so I am retiring,” said Figger jokingly.

“But what an effort by Brenton and he really carried us when we needed it the most in the second half. There are no guarantees for him after next Wednesday so he played his best basketball as a senior.”

The Gamecocks led by as many as 11 points in the opening half, largely due to points in the paint and Mississippi State turnovers. The Bulldogs shot 53 percent in the first half but had 12 turnovers en route to a 36-29 deficit at halftime. South Carolina outscored the Bulldogs 26-14 in the paint in the first half and had 13 offensive rebounds in the 1st half.

“We gave up 13 second-chance points and then 10 more points off our turnovers in the first half,” said Mississippi State head coach Rick

Ray. “We didn’t take care of those things in the first half. A lot of that is about a sustained effort and we didn’t have that. Not a physical sustained effort but a mentally sustained effort. And that is just about not having enough bodies.”

Mississippi State opened the second half on an 11-0 run and held a 47-41 lead. Fred Thomas had 15 points for the Bulldogs, with seven of his points during that 11-0 run.

South Carolina controlled the boards 4627 and finished with 21 offensive rebounds.

Led by Williams, the Gamecocks were 10 of 20 behind the arc.

South Carolina opens the SEC Tournament as the 13th seed and will face Auburn, while Mississippi State, the 14th seed, will face Vanderbilt on Wednesday in Atlanta.

tucky coach John Calipari said. “And if you don’t come and play, you’re going to get smashed.”

With Florida’s ranking, the finale for four popular seniors, history at stake and the opponent, it was the biggest home game in school history. Single tickets to the nationally televised matchup were going for as much as $500 on the street, and there even was a successful marriage proposal on the court beforehand.

The Gators delivered for their fans. Florida made 14 of its first 21 shots and recorded assists on its first 11 baskets. Young, who scored 14 points in the first half, did most of the damage inside. Michael Frazier II, a sophomore who made a school-record 11 3-pointers Tuesday at South Carolina, got hot again from outside.

Frazier’s consecutive 3s pushed the lead to 19 and

had the O’Dome rocking.

The Gators were up 22 after Dorian FinneySmith’s third 3 of the half and led 49-28 at the break.

But Calipari got his team focused, and the Wildcats opened the second half by pounding the ball inside and getting Randle more involved.

Kentucky used a 15-0 run to quiet the arena and give the Wildcats confidence they could pull off the upset. Wilbekin responded with a huge 3. wPrather followed with several driving layups, none bigger than the one that turned into a threepoint play and pushed the lead back to 17.

“We took the fight to them a little bit,” Calipari said. “We made a game of it. All of a sudden we take the worst shots we’ve taken all season.

Like, you’ve got to be kidding me. But that’s what freshmen do.”

to 47-42. But Georgia’s Donte Williams snapped the run with a dunk in transition and LSU never got closer than five points again. Georgia dominated in some key statistical categories, outshooting LSU 47.9 percent (23 of 48) to 36.4 percent (20 of 55) and outrebounding the Tigers 37-29.

“They made some deep shots. I mean, they made some NBA-type 3s,” LSU coach Johnny Jones said

Writing book was therapeutic for Corinth author

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

For Michael Van Buren Latch, writing A True Love Story: A Second Chance at Love was therapeutic.

The book was decided during a therapy session as a means of dealing with the grief, anger and guilt which plagued the author as a result of his wife’s suicide.

“Till death do us part ...

I was raised in a southern religious home and my parents were married 50 years. It was something I took literally,” said the only child of Marcus and Gerneal Latch.

In bad times and in good, Mike stood by his wife of almost 19 years as she battled seizures, OCD and depression.

Even as her illness progressed and it seemed like nothing he did make any difference, he still held on to the image of the vibrant, brilliant, young woman he had met and fallen in love with so many years ago.

Rhonda Lynn Jones Latch discovered the brain tumor by accident one day as she was thumbing through the medical files her physician had relinquished upon moving his practice to Arizona.

The Latches were horrified to learn that not only did Rhonda have a brain tumor, but it had gone unreported by several doctors and over the years had ballooned in size.

The prognosis was bleak and on May 8, 2009, Rhonda took her leave. The native of Memphis, Tenn., died just three weeks shy of the couple’s 19th anniversary.

After his wife’s suicide, the widower was haunted by nightmares and suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.

“The fear I felt cannot really be put into words but I will try and explain what was coursing through my body on that Friday morning,” wrote the 1975 Corinth High School graduate in his book.

Do you remember when you were little and you heard a sound at night while you were in bed? You were sure that there was something outside your door. You were scared to death because you were afraid of the boogie man. You would gather all the courage you could muster to open the door and look. Nothing there! No boogie man, nothing at all. That was how I felt on May the 8th, 2009 at 7:52, on that

The late Rhonda Latch and her beloved little Yorkshire terrior, Zoe.

Michael Van Buren Latch’s book cover

Mike Latch and girlfriend Mary on a trip to the beach.

Friday Morning.

Mike described the horror he witnessed upon finding his wife’s body.

“What I saw that morning after getting the courage to open the door, following the gunfire I heard, was worse than

anything that anyone could ever imagine,” said the native Corinthian.

Mike thought his days of happiness had long come to an end. Then like a breath of fresh air, Mary Matsufuji of California reemerged into his life and

rekindled a fire in him which he believed with all certainty had been extinguished.

I was free as the wind, but what happened to me at a local Sunflower grocery store in Oxford, Mississippi, would blow me

over like I never thought possible.

Though Mike and Mary hadn’t parted on the best of terms and had each gone on to live their separate lives, they never forgot about each other.

Shortly after Rhonda’s death, Mary had a dream that something horrible had happed to Mike and had to see if he was okay.

Mike was ecstatic to hear from Mary. The two conversed for a short period of time before deciding to meet up again.

That night as I went to sleep the feeling that I had was like a child again on Christmas Eve. I couldn’t go to sleep because all I was thinking about was waking up and heading to South Carolina to see my Mary, my early Christmas present!

After reconnecting on Facebook and getting back together in person, it seemed the two were destined to live happily ever after.

They would pick right up where they left off and spend the rest of their lives growing old together, but fate is a coy mistress who often erases what lovers think is written in the stars.

Despite his best efforts, the relationship was doomed to crash and burn and came to end much like it began.

Though they are no longer together, Mike still sees Mary as the greatest love of his life.

“Just because two people break up doesn’t mean it wasn’t love,” said the now 56-year-old. “I

believe everything happens for a reason and for whatever reason, we didn’t get married, but I still wish her the best.”

Mike wanted his readers to know that despite life’s turmoil, one should always look toward the horizon. For there are brighter days ahead and new adventures to be had.

“I wouldn’t wish what happened to me on my worst enemy ... no matter how bad it gets in your life or what you have to endure, you still have hope.

I think Rhonda still had hope for me and wanted me to be happy,” said the author. “If you have hope, you still have something.”

Returning to his hometown to care for his ailing mother, the avid Ole Miss fan and graduate now contents himself playing golf, selling Colonel Reb memorabilia and hanging out with friends.

After careers in the pharmaceutical, lumber, industrial product, disposable medical and waste management fields, Mike has traded in his fast-paced life for one of leisure.

“It’s hard to acclimate yourself back into being in a small town after being gone for so long. I’m waiting to leave everyday,” he said with a laugh.

Though, A True Love Story: A Second Chance at Love (available on Amazon) is the marketing majors only published book, Mike reveled he also has three murder mysteries in the works.

He just hasn’t decided their endings.

Olive Branch quilters take on special cause to keep kids warm

BY HENRY BAILEY The Commercial Appeal

OLIVE BRANCH — “He’s Sew Fine” by the Chiffons?

Close, for a quilting/ sewing bee taking in ‘50s rock classics as they stitched away at the Olive Branch Senior Center.

But the dozen women gathered were abuzz with dedication to service — helping autistic kids across DeSoto County sleep and find solace with specially designed, gaily decorated weighted blankets — and having fun doing it.

“This is ‘Thelma and Louise,’” quipped Brenda Garner of Southaven, describing her repartee with pal Phyllis Alford of Olive Branch. “Oh, I’m just kidding. It’s more like ‘Lucy and Ethel’ with us.”

“We get to see each other, hang out and sew some blankets,” said Pannay Guigley of Hernando, the mother of an autistic

daughter and, with friend and fellow Quilting in the Grove member Dorothy Bundy of Byhalia, organizer of the all-volunteer Weighted Blanket Project. An active “almost 40,” Guigley teaches a class for Sew Memphis, has a master’s degree in education from Penn State and since January has been part-time assistant to Brian Hicks, director the DeSoto Museum in Hernando.

“We started this last spring, in May, when I made a weighted blanket for Serena,” her 7-yearold daughter with Asperger syndrome, a mild form of autism, said Guigley.

Blankets weighted with sewn-in pockets of “poly pellets” or similar washable material help relax and calm down autistic children, she said. “It’s like deep-pressure therapy, therapists say. If you put one over your shoulders or on your lap, it’s

like a massage.”

A skilled sewer/quilter — “I learned from my mom and grandmom” back home in Pittsburgh, Pa. — Guigley also was inspired to make that first blanket to save household costs. She and husband Kevin, a research chemist, have two other children.

“To buy a weighted blanket online can cost from $80 to $120 each,” she said. Guigley made “some extras” for friends with children on the “autism spectrum,” and word just got around. Next thing, Guigley was getting requests from therapists and fellow parents of autistic children, and suddenly she had a mission to thread.

“I got so many calls. It was me and Dorothy for a while, then we asked our friends.”

They had a ready base of volunteers for what became the Weighted Blan-

ket Project: members of Quilting in the Grove, which meets the second Monday of each month at 10 a.m. at the senior center. The president is Sharon Arnold.

Noting the cost of just one blanket, “multiply that if you have three or four autistic children in your family,” said Guigley.

And Bundy pointed out how big a domestic deal a blanket can be: “Autistic children often have trouble sleeping; they sleep in spurts. But with a weighted blanket, they can stay asleep all night.

And that means the whole household can sleep.” The work of Weighted Blanket “warms my heart,” said the FedEx retiree.

The blankets, made from quilters-weight cotton or flannel, can weigh up to 12 pounds, “for anyone over 120 pounds, about 10 percent of body weight,” said Guigley. “That’s the

largest we make, about 72 inches long and 50 inches wide.” By comparison, her blanket for Serena weighs 3 pounds, and the group also makes weighted “lap pads” that are convenient for travel or school or trips to the doctor or therapist.

Bundy “keeps everything on track,” said Guigley. Indeed, Bundy lists the number of blankets distributed so far at exactly 54. At last week’s session, with help from notable quilter Dana Lynch of Olive Branch, the expected output was 11 more blankets and five more lap pads. The group hears from parents and therapists to identify individual needs and tastes for a blanket, and uses donated materials.

“Our program survives on donations and God has blessed us,” said Guigley.

“It seems as if whenever we get down to our last poly pellet, just then we’ll get another bag.”

Volunteer Grace Maxson has a grandson, 9-year-old Ethan, with autism. At home, she’s making him “a traveling blanket” — with his favorite color, lavender, and Monsters Inc. designs — but here she was making a blanket another child will embrace.

“It’s such an essential thing, so important,” Maxson said.

Guigley said such spirit gives her the inspiration to suggest a wider role for Weighted Blanket. “We’ve talked about spreading it to Memphis, and south of us.” The group meets about every three months, and may make the senior center its base. But wherever it goes, Weighted Blanket spreads a lot of heart.

“What I love about the South,” said Guigley, “is that there are so many generous people, so willing to give of their time and talents.”

About a boy who plays the boy on new NBC sitcom

BY FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — It wasn’t hard for Benjamin Stockham to figure out his role as Marcus, the title character of NBC’s new sitcom “About a Boy.” “It was pretty obvious from the script that he was kind of a nerd,” said Ben during a recent chat.

“Well, not a nerd. Sorry.

Kind of an ODDITY.” And an interesting oddity, Ben hastened to add: “Part of what makes it so easy to play Marcus is that, as a kid, you might have his same problems: being bullied, being an outsider. But you always have someone there who cares about you.”

On “About a Boy,” airing Tuesday at 8 p.m.

Central, Marcus is cared about, to excess, by his high-strung, overprotective single mom (Minnie Driver).

Meanwhile, he enlists as surrogate dad his new next-door neighbor, Will (David Walton), a foot-

loose, freewheeling bachelor who is alternately charmed by Marcus’ pluck and annoyed by his frequent, often ill-timed intrusions.

Will knows he must establish some boundaries for Marcus. But Marcus can’t help asking, “Why is hanging out with me any less exciting than hanging out with those women with bathing suits that are wayyyy too small?”

This burgeoning bromance between boy and man is at the series’ heart, raising the question: How does Ben like working with a co-star two decades his senior?

“It’s great!” he replied.

“David’s really fun. He has this pen and he flips it around his thumb with one finger. I have no idea how he does that. He also boxes. But not professionally. He’s probably the world’s most interesting guy.”

How does Ben see himself? What’s different about him from the char-

Cryptoquip

“I was watching TV one day and I’m like, ‘How did those people get on TV? I’m gonna try that. Hey, mom, I want to be on TV!’ And she’s like, ‘OK, let’s get you an agent.’

Benjamin Stockham Actor, ‘About a Boy’ acter he plays?

“Other than the devilishly handsome good looks, the charm and the humbleness,” he cracked, “everything!”

Including his advanced years. Ben is baby-faced with a china-doll complexion, and a bit small for 13 and one-half.

“I look maybe 11 or 12,” he readily acknowledged.

This served him well in landing the role of 11-year-old Marcus. But does being a late bloomer ever bug him in his personal life?

“My friends don’t care,” he said. “And if my friends don’t care, I don’t care.”

As Ben enters his teens, he can point to credits that include not just his new sitcom, but also two shortlived predecessors: the 2010 Fox comedy “Sons of Tucson” and last season’s “1600 Penn” on NBC. “But why did you want to be an actor in the first place?”

“I was watching TV one day,” he recalled, “and I’m like, ‘How did those people get on TV? I’m gonna try that. Hey, mom, I want to be on TV!’ And she’s like, ‘OK, let’s get you an agent.’

“That’s exactly what happened, word for word.”

That was about six years ago. So by the time he was signed for “About a Boy,” he felt like an old

scripts written like a robot.

But the writers on ‘About a Boy’ are very good.”

Unlike adult actors, Ben doesn’t get much downtime while shooting his Los Angeles-based show, even during long delays between scenes: “When I’m not on camera,” he noted with a roll of his eyes, “I’m doing school.”

But once the workday is finished, he spends much of his spare time drawing, “which I like a lot. I do this weird thing, where I see something completely regular, like a chair — and then I make it into some sort of monster.”

Having said that, he shared a few of his creations on his iPhone screen. They were remarkably inventive, the sort of whimsical Goth that Tim Burton might applaud.

“I might become serious about it someday,” Ben said, “if the whole acting thing doesn’t work out. But it will be a hobby until further notice.”

hand.

“I’ve done two other TV series, so I’ve got THIS one in the bag,” he laughed. “Sure, the other two were CANCELED. But this one WON’T!” Maybe not soon, anyway. “About a Boy” is off to a good start, having grown its audience in its most recent airing to a robust 8.7 million viewers.

In the meantime, Ben said he’s growing as an actor, thanks to the bona fide veterans he works with on the show.

“They are teaching me.

Not verbally. But with their example. And as for what they learn from me,” he added, deadpan: “how to be very, very, VERY immature.”

“Is it easy or hard for you to learn your lines?”

“It depends how they’re written,” he said, explaining that it’s tricky when dialogue is written too formally. “Like with ‘this’ and ‘will.’ Most people just say ‘this’ll.’ So it’s definitely hard when there’s whole

DENVER — Cars rumble past on a busy street just outside. A radio tuned to a jazz station plays a bit too loudly. But those distractions fade away when 80-year-old Ed Battle shares a song he learned from his grandmother when he was a boy.

“Guide my feet while I run this race,” he sings, sitting very straight, hands still in his lap. “‘Cuz I don’t want to run this race in vain.”

The power of the solo session in Battle’s sunfilled dining room is amplified when he sings with The Spirituals Project Choir, a Denver institution that has performed across the U.S. and produced CDs to spread the music even further.

As The Spirituals Project enters its third decade, founder Arthur Jones is trying to spread the power he believes the music holds to build community across lines of race and class, and to move individuals to address personal and political challenges.

Jones last summer held the first of what he plans will be biannual conferences on spirituals where performers share stages with scholars and activists who have found inspiration in the music that is the roots of gospel, blues, jazz and hip hop.

The project also includes an Internet archive of educational materials.

On the calendar this year is a slam poetry event.

“We see rap and hiphop and spoken word as an extension of what started with the spirituals,” Jones said.

In “Wade in the Water,” a book Jones wrote on the music, he juxtaposes songs like “Sometimes I

Feel Like a Motherless Child” with historical accounts by former slaves of watching anguished mothers beg slave traders not to separate them from their children.

He also decodes the language of resistance in songs used to signal uprisings or share information about escape routes.

And he describes a music that blends Christian themes from the West with themes, rhythms and the call-and-response pattern from Africa, linking the slaves who created it to a tradition and identity that predated slavery.

Poet Nikki Giovanni has written a book of essays on the spirituals, joining W.E.B. Dubois and James Weldon Johnson in a tradition of poetic response to the music. Giovanni said Jones contributes something special to a topic that also has been tackled by historians and sociologists.

“What Art brought to us was another level of emotional bonding,” said Giovanni, who teaches at Virginia Tech.

Giovanni said the spirituals provide a personal link to history, and in doing so point a way forward.

She quoted a line from one of the best known songs to illustrate her point: “‘I’ve been ‘buked and I’ve been scorned,’” she says, not quite singing.

“That’s a history. They tell you, ‘We’ve been through the fire, but we’re going to be all right.’ That’s what’s so essential.”

Members of the Spiritual Project Choir are black and white. The singers come from the suburbs and from inner city neighborhoods like Battle’s. They are Jews and evangelical Christians, and some who attend no

church or temple.

Among the white singers is Wendy Willbanks Wiesner, a soprano and an economist who first joined the choir a decade ago. She said she stumbled upon The Spirituals Project Choir almost by accident, at a time when her family was coping with the deaths of her inlaws.

She found solace in the music, she said, calling spirituals “a cultural treasure and heritage that is for everyone. Everyone needs this music.”

Jones, a singer as well as psychologist, first sang spirituals for the pleasure and strength they gave him and friends. Then, he was asked to create a lecture-recital event about spirituals, which led in 1990 to his book, which is in its third edition.

That led to an effort to produce a documentary about spirituals. The choir was formed with the idea that it could help raise funds for the documentary, which was never made.

The choir brings people together. Witness Dedee Stump, a white, 47-yearold notary from the comfortable suburb of Highlands Ranch who settled into a pew in a church where The Spirituals Project is giving a concert.

Next to her was Jean Hines, a 63-year-old black retired civil servant who brings a wellthumbed Bible bound in maroon leather to the concert. They did not come together, but after hearing a powerful soloist, Stump leaned over to whisper to Hines: “I think the walls are going to come down!”

Hines said: “I felt like we were all together, one color, enjoying it together.”

Chenoweth reveals asthma struggle Associated Pressv

NEW YORK — Kristin Chenoweth is ready to tell the world she suffers from asthma. The Tony Awardwinning actress with the powerful voice says she’s suffered with the respiratory disorder for more than a decade.

“I haven’t really discussed the fact that I do suffer from asthma,” Chenoweth told The Associated Press last week.

“I kept getting sick and couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get my breath... that’s kind of my asthma journey, if you will.”

But Chenoweth was not correctly diagnosed for a few years. The entire time

she did the smash Broadway musical, “Wicked,” when she originated the role of Glinda, she thought she was suffering from bronchitis and other respiratory issues.

“It was only after going to L.A. to do ‘Bewitched,’ and ‘The West Wing’ that I really got sick. But I wasn’t diagnosed with asthma,” Chenoweth recalls. “It wasn’t until I was doing the television series, ‘Pushing Daisies,’ that my doctor in Oklahoma diagnosed me.”

Recently, Chenoweth did a public service announcement called “Know Your Count,” urging sufferers who use an

inhaler to make sure it includes a dose counter.

“I’ve used an inhaler, and didn’t understand why it wasn’t working,” Chenoweth recalls. “I wasn’t getting any relief because it was empty. That’s why the dose counters are so great.

When it comes to having usages left, it’s time to get another inhaler.”

Despite having asthma, Chenoweth has kept busy.

Later this month she’ll appear in the 100th episode of “Glee,” while next month her latest film, the animated, “Rio 2” premieres. Then in May, the singer takes to the stage at Carnegie Hall, her inhaler certainly nearby.
