City seeks work on historic route BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth hopes to secure a bridge replacement and an improved route to the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center with a grant the city will seek to win. The city is submitting an application for an Eastern Federal

Lands Access Program Grant for a three-year, $4 million project that would include replacement of the bridge near Henry Cemetery on North Polk Street and some additional street improvements on Polk Street as well as possibly parts of Linden Street, Shiloh Road

and Fulton Drive. The city would match the grant with 20 percent local funding, or about $800,000, over the course of the three years. The first phase of the project would be replacement of the 84-year-old bridge, which in-

spections have found to be deficient. “This is a great opportunity to enhance our infrastructure and replace a bridge that would cost about $1.7 million,” said Mayor Tommy Irwin. “It will be very competitive, but we are encouraged about our position.”

The grant funds are available for projects involving access to federal lands. Polk Street is part of the route the park service designates from Shiloh to the Corinth interpretive center. After the bridge replacePlease see GRANT | 2

Union General Ulysses S. Grant — portrayed by Dr. E. C. “Curt” Fields Jr. — talks to visitors on April 6 last year during anniversary activities at Shiloh National Military Park. The park will have events and programs this year from April 4 through April 8 this year.

Shiloh events remember battle SHILOH, Tenn. — Shiloh National Military Park will commemorate 153rd anniversary of the battle by offering a variety of interpretive programs over a five-day period from Saturday, April 4, through Wednesday, April 8. “We invite everyone to come enjoy the park as we remember the epic battle fought at Shiloh. Programs will also be offered on the weekend of April 4th and 5th to accommodate those visitors unable to participate on the actual anniversary days of the battle, April 6th, 7th and 8th, which fall on weekdays this year,” said Superintendent

Dale Wilkerson. Rangers and volunteers will be offering in-depth battlefield hikes, demonstrations, car caravan tours and programs during the commemoration. The park will conduct cannon firing demonstrations on Saturday, April 4. Shiloh’s Cannon Crew will fire the park’s reproduction 6-pounder field piece and visitors will learn about the role of a cannoneer during the war and how cannon were loaded and fired. Firing demonstrations will be conducted across from the Visitor Center. A complete schedule of the

in-depth battlefield hikes and car caravan tours is posted on the park website at www. nps.gov/shil and on the park’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ShilohNMP. Visitors are invited to preregister for the battlefield hikes by calling the Shiloh Visitor Center at 731-689-5696. Registered participants should meet the guides at the appointed sites and times, and are encouraged to wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather and terrain. Visitors attending more than one hike are encouraged to have food and water available.

Rare rifle will appear at military relic show BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The Col. W.P. Rogers Sons of Confederate Veterans are bringing in a big shot over the weekend. Members of Camp 321 have landed a very rare Civil War rifle to be displayed during its 6th Annual Corinth Civil War & Militaria Show and Sale on Saturday and Sunday at the Crossroads Arena. “The gun is the 50 caliber rifle of Jack Hinson, the most deadly “sniper” in the Civil War with over 100 recorded kills of Union troops,” said Larry Mangus with the local SCV Camp. “Hinson was nearly 60 years old and not involved in the war until his

two sons were executed for allegedly being bushwhackers.” According to Mangus, after the decapitated heads of his two sons were placed on gateposts Please see RIFLE | 2

ment, the city would look to rehabilitate a stretch of North Polk that is not state-maintained. “We’ve got some structural problems with the road bed that need to be fixed,” said Dave Huwe, director of community development and planning. “Probably the other major piece would be from Fulton Drive going up Linden Street to the interpretive center. That would be major repairs to the road there and curb and gutter.” If funds allow, the grant could provide new side-

walks in some areas along the way. Funds are distributed by formula among states that have federal lands managed by the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Irwin said he has been working with Transportation Commissioner Mike Tagert to find funding sources for the city’s aging transportation infrastructure. Among the city’s approximately 27 bridges, several need attention.

On this date: In 1785, Thomas Jefferson was appointed America’s minister to France, succeeding Benjamin Franklin. In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln assigned Ulysses S. Grant, who had just received his commission as lieutenant-general, to the command of the Armies of the United States. The song “Beautiful Dreamer” by the late Stephen Foster was copyrighted by Wm. A. Pond & Co. of New York. In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell’s assistant, Thomas Watson, heard Bell say over his experimental telephone: “Mr. Watson — come here — I want to see you.” In 1880, the Salvation Army arrived in the United States from England. In 1914, the Rokeby Venus, a 17th century painting by Diego Velazquez on display at the National Gallery in London, was slashed multiple times by Mary Richardson, who was protesting the arrest of fellow suffragist Emmeline Pankhurst. In 1933, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake centered off Long Beach, California, resulted in 120 deaths. In 1949, Nazi wartime broadcaster Mildred E. Gillars, also known as “Axis Sally,” was convicted in Washington D.C., of treason. (She served 12 years in prison.) In 1959, the Tennessee Williams play “Sweet Bird of Youth,” starring Paul Newman and Geraldine Page, opened at Broadway’s Martin Beck Theatre. In 1965, Neil Simon’s play “The Odd Couple,” starring Walter Matthau and Art Carney, opened on Broadway. In 1969, James Earl Ray pleaded guilty in Memphis, Tennessee, to assassinating civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. (Ray later repudiated that plea, maintaining his innocence until his death.) In 1980, “Scarsdale Diet” author Dr. Herman Tarnower was shot to death at his home in Purchase, New York.

Soup luncheon will give it a go today BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Soup is still on. The Mississippi State Extension Service will be the place to get some food that will stick to the bones. Organizers of the 12th Annual Jesse Clausel Memorial Scholarship Soup Luncheon will try it again today after wintry weather forced the postponement of the annual event at the extension of-

chili available starting today at 11 a.m. Close to 50 gallons of soup and 19 gallons of tea are ready to be consumed during the 11 a.m.-1 p.m. luncheon. Tickets are $6 and include a choice of vegetable beef soup, potato soup or chili. Also included are crackers, drink and dessert at the extension office behind the Crossroads Arena.

Lawyers sue state, seek court Tagert joins north control of foster care system Mississippi election BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Lawyers who have been suing Mississippi for 10 years over conditions in its child welfare system said Monday that it’s time for a federal judge to take the system over. In a contempt motion filed in U.S. District Court in Jackson, they said Mississippi’s Department of Human Services is either unwilling or unable to fix the problems, breaking four agreements pledging improvements over seven years in what’s known as the Olivia Y. case. At the time the case was filed, Olivia Y. was a malnourished 3-year-old in state foster care. “The children can’t wait another seven years for this,” Marcia Robinson Lowry, a lawyer for New York-based A Better Childhood, told The Associated Press by telephone. “It is a total misuse of state resources and who knows how

many children are being harmed every day.” The group asked U.S. District Judge Tom Lee to order an outside analysis of the system and then appoint a receiver to take over the child welfare system. That receiver would run that part of the Department of Human Services and Lee could order the state to spend more money on the problem if necessary. The plaintiffs want a hearing in three months to put on evidence and witnesses. Julia Bryan, a spokeswoman for the Department of Human Services, said in an email the agency’s attorneys will review the filing. “The agency does not comment on pending litigation,” she said. The state originally settled in 2008, but failed to meet the requirements of that plan. The state and the plaintiffs then agreed on a 2009 “bridge plan.” When the state didn’t keep that agreement, Lowry sought a contempt

fice. “Although the roads were pretty much clear we felt like it was still too bad to go ahead with the luncheon on Friday,” said Sandy Mitchell, vice-president of the 4-H Advisory Council. The Advisory Council is in charge of the annual event which sees proceeds used to fund scholarships for graduating high school 4-H members. There will be plenty of soup or

ruling, but Lee ordered the parties to negotiate more. They reached a modified settlement in 2012. But it too went unfulfilled. Though the state increased its number of social workers and recorded some improvements, there have been fundamental problems it has never been able to resolve. For example, Lowry said the state still can’t track how many cases each employee is handling. She also cited problems with training, and noted that the number of children being held in unlicensed foster care actually rose from 2013 to 2014. “There are enormous capacity deficits in the agency,” Lowry said. “The agency doesn’t function.” A May 2014 monitoring report found the state only met 10 of 33 settlement requirements, failed 13 and didn’t provide enough data to judge the other 10.

JACKSON — Northern District Transportation Commissioner Mike Tagert of Starkville on Monday joined the expanding field for a vacant congressional seat in north Mississippi. The Starkville resident is at least the ninth person to announce as a candidate in the race to succeed Republican Rep. Alan Nunnelee, who died of brain cancer Feb. 6. Candidates’ qualifying deadline is March 27. The election is May 12, and a runoff is June 2. Tagert, a 44-year-old Republican who has been the elected state transportation commissioner for the northern third of the state since 2011, has said he lives 4 or 5 miles outside the 1st District, but has said he could move into the district if elected. All of the congressional district is inside his transportation commission district. “North Mississippians want high quality jobs not more federal regulations and new taxes that tie up too much of their hard-earned take-home pay in bureaucratic red tape,” Tagert said in a statement. “President Obama doesn’t respect our Constitution or our laws and continues to bypass them for the sake of political ideology and expediency.” Though the election is non-partisan, many of the candidates have held office under a political party before or have clearly identifiable party affiliations. Those running include Columbus businessman and former Republican appointee Boyce Adams, Columbus businessman and Libertarian candidate Danny Bedwell, Republican state Sen. Nancy Collins of Tupelo, Republican district attorney Trent Kelly of Saltillo, Fulton attorney Chip Mills, Tupelo attorney Greg Pirkle, Oxford attorney Daniel Sparks and Oxford attorney and former Republican Jackson City Councilman Quentin Whitwell.

Corinth, Miss.

UAW continues to hit roadblocks STARKVILLE — The hits keep coming for the United Auto Workers labor union as they continue to fight to maintain relevance and attempt to infiltrate the foreign-owned automakers in “Detroit South.” Sid Salter In recent days, a competing labor group — the American Columnist Council of Employees, or ACE — has won limited organizing rights at a key Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. That’s a significant impediment to the UAW’s ongoing efforts at the VW plant. That came after another remarkable defeat for the UAW in Hamilton, Alabama’s NTNBower Corporation plant voted for the fourth time to decertify the UAW from representing. The UAW has been certified at the plant since 1976. At the small Hamilton plant, the UAW has now lost three of four elections. Workers have been trying for two years to decertify the UAW. First, the workers voted to decertify the union, but the National Labor Relations Board threw out the results after the union claimed there was management interference. The UAW won the third election, but the results were tossed because officials said 139 of the eligible 140 workers voted, but at the count there were 148 ballots. Hmmmm … The fourth election saw workers vote to toss the UAW by 82 to 50 votes. But the UAW is asking the NLRB to throw out the results, alleging that management threatened to close the plant if the union prevailed. The losses — large and small — for the UAW in the South are mounting. It’s been a little over a year since the 1,550 hourly workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga rejected representation by the UAW by a vote of 712 to 626 on Valentine’s Day, 2014. Under pressure from existing “work councils” at VW at most all of the company’s other 105 plants, the company was officially “neutral” on the union vote but clearly took formal contractual steps to coordinate with the UAW on both public statements and communications with plant employees. Despite that company effort, Chattanooga workers rejected the UAW’s entreaties. The 2014 union vote in Chattanooga represented the UAW’s first vote at a major foreign automaker’s assembly plant since the union’s failed attempt to gain the right to represent Nissan workers in Smyrna, Tennessee, in 2001. The union lost that vote by a 2-to-1 margin. In addition to VW in Chattanooga, the UAW also has been attempting to unionize workers at Nissan Motor Company plants in Mississippi and Tennessee and at a Daimler AG Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama. Why? Because the UAW fears that so-called “transplants” — or foreign-owned automakers with plants in the U.S. — will pull down wages and benefits at UAW-represented domestic auto plants in Detroit. UAW membership sharply declined since reaching a peak of nearly 1.5 million in 1979 to almost 400,000 in 2012, due to automation at auto plants and the large share of the U.S. auto market for U.S. automakers that has shifted to foreign auto manufacturers. Despite cloaking the union push in Mississippi in the political vestments of the civil rights movement, union organizers should expect to encounter similar organized opposition in Mississippi at Nissan. Mississippi taxpayers are active partners in the state’s emerging auto manufacturing industry and most remain wary of an expanded union presence in one of the state’s real growth industries. The latest salvo in Mississippi has been rejection by Nissan of a U.S. State Department offer to a nonbinding mediation of the company’s dispute with the UAW over union allegations of anti-union practices as the UAW seeks to organize Nissan’s Canton plant. Nissan declined the State Department push, arguing that “long-established guidelines for bringing a union vote already exist” within the NLRB.

Prayer for today My Father, I pray that thou wilt take care of my thoughts when I am alone and tired, and keep them strong and clean. Grant that while I commune with thee I may yield to my needs and be restored with keener energy for worthier deeds. May I ask of thy wisdom every day. Amen.

A verse to share “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:24

Attitudes about work are inconsistent OXFORD — Imagine being a farmer. Imagine plowing, sowing and, when the time is right, harvesting your best crop ever. Now imagine standing near the loaded trucks, looking at the bounty — the literal fruits of having made a plan, put the plan into action and shepherded it to completion. How would you feel? More specifically, how would you feel about yourself? To parrot the words of James Brown, you’d feel good. The point of this exercise is that we value our work. It defines us. And it doesn’t really matter what kind of work it is. A heart surgeon and a firewood stacker can achieve the same level of self-satisfaction from doing their jobs well, from having a good day at work. But there’s a quirky thing about our culture. While our work, whatever it is, makes us feel fulfilled, we assign distinctly different levels of respect to the work of others. We almost bow in the presence of authors, doctors, celebrities, elected officials and a smattering of other employment categories. But we mock lots of others, such as “burger flippers.” What question

does a person with a college degree in history ask most often? “You want fries with Charlie that?” EveryMitchell body has a good laugh Columnist — except, of course, history students and people who work fry stations. Oh, the inspiring stories do come along. Back in 1995, Hattiesburg washerwoman Oseola McCarty donated $150,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi to endow scholarships. As Rick Bragg put it in The New York Times, the quarters and dollars were amassed from a lifetime of “bundles of dirty clothes (she) made clean and neat for parties she never attended, weddings to which she was never invited, graduations she never saw.” But she was glad to do it, and the world marveled at her philanthropy. Mississippi has historically been a place where more people work with their hands, often outdoors, than in an office or even an assembly line. As the workplace has changed during the past several years, the state has worked its way up (or down) the list to the top (or bot-

tom ranking) among states in terms of unemployment rates. (For January, Washington, D.C., was .1 percent worse at 7.3 percent. The national average was 5.6 percent.) But there’s a major problem with this statistic. Announcers usually intone the words “among those looking for work,” but people glob onto the numbers, figuring up is bad and down is good. They miss the detail that employment rates can (and often do) go up even when fewer people have jobs. Said more directly, while there are different tallies and indexes, most agree that the number of paying jobs in Mississippi has been dribbling down steadily for at least the past 15 years. The most alarming statistic is from the Department of Census. Its Current Population Survey shows Mississippi jobs declining at a rate of 1,000 per month. True, there are still more than 1.5 million people who do have jobs. Also, as of this writing, the job opportunity aggregation website indeed. com shows 1,178 unfilled jobs in Mississippi. The situation is troubling, but not bleak. In recent years, governors and lawmakers have given much attention to inviting more jobs to Mississippi

with everything from increased workforce training to grants and tax credits to major employers. Serious courting of major corporations and international trade has been a priority here. But outside those hallowed halls there’s also much to do, and it could start with not just pretending to respect the value of all honest work but to demonstrate that respect in everything we say and do. We need to create a state culture in which all work is valued. It takes superbly skilled hands to perform the most delicate of heart surgeries, but the patient may die if a nameless $7.25/hour worker failed to properly sterilize the instruments. People in loud trucks pick up our garbage. People in lab coats test our drinking water. People drive our kids to and from school. People try to teach them. And, yes, people flip our burgers. It’s a mental thing. There may not be a lot individuals can do to reverse the slide in jobs in Mississippi, but one thing that might help is to become a place where work is respected. Really respected. (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist. Write to him at cmitchell43@yahoo. com.)

Will the GOP capitulate again? “Free trade results in giving our money, our manufactures, and our markets to other nations,” warned the Republican Senator from Ohio and future President William McKinley in 1892. “Thank God I am not a free-trader,” echoed the rising Empire State Republican and future President Theodore Roosevelt. Those were the voices of a Republican Party that believed in prospering America first. For a quarter century, however, the party of the Bushes has been a globalist, New World Order party, and fanatically free trade. It signed on to NAFTA, GATT, the World Trade Organization, most-favorednation status for China, CAFTA, and KORUS, the U.S.-Korean trade treaty negotiated by Barack Obama. So supportive have Republicans been of anything sold as free trade they have agreed to “fast track,” the voluntary surrender by Congress of its constitutional power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations.” With fast track, Congress gives up its right to amend

trade treaties, and agrees to restrict itself to a yea or nay vote. And who is leading the Pat fight to have Buchanan C o n g r e s s again surrenColumnist der its power over trade? Current chairman of ways and means, Paul Ryan. Yet when one looks back on the devastation wrought by free trade, how can a party that purports to put America first sign on to fast track yet again? In the first decade of this century, the United States lost 5 to 6 million manufacturing jobs. We lost 55,000 factories, a devastation of industry not unlike what we inflicted on Germany and Japan in 1944-45. The trade figures are in for 2014. What do they show? The United States ran a trade deficit of $505 billion. But as the Economic Policy Institute’s Robert Scott points out, in manufactured goods, the U.S. trade deficit rose to $524 billion, a surge of $77 billion over 2013.

The U.S. trade deficit with China soared to $342 billion. Our exports to China amounted to $125 billion. But our imports from China were almost four times as great, $467 billion. Since Jan. 1, 2000, U.S. trade deficits with China have totaled an astronomical $3.3 trillion. How do Clinton, Bush II and Obama defend these trade deficits that have done to our country exactly what McKinley warned they would do in 1892 — given away “our money, our manufactures, and our markets” to Communist China? And while our trade deficit in goods with China was $343 billion, with the European Union it was $141 billion, with Japan $67 billion, with Mexico $54 billion, with Canada $34 billion, with South Korea $25 billion. Do these record deficits justify such blind confidence in Obama? Do they justify Congress’ renunciation of rights over commerce that the Founding Fathers explicitly set aside for the legislative branch in Article I of the Constitution?

“If we don’t like the way the global economy works,” says Paul Ryan, “then we have to get out there and change it.” No, we don’t. The great and justified complaint against China and Japan, who have run the largest trade surpluses at our expense, is that they are “currency manipulators.” Correct. But the way to deal with currency manipulators is to rob them of the benefits of their undervalued currencies by slapping tariffs on goods they send to the United States. And if the WTO says you can’t do that, give the WTO the answer Theodore Roosevelt would have given them. Instead of wringing our hands over income inequality and wage stagnation, why don’t we turn these trade deficits into trade surpluses, as did the generations of Lincoln and McKinley, and T. R. and Cal Coolidge? (Daily Corinthian columnist Pat Buchanan is an American conservative political commentator, author, syndicated columnist, politician and broadcaster.)

‘Simpsons’ creator Simon dies at 59 Sam Simon, a cocreator of “The Simpsons” and animal-rights advocate who made a midlife career shift into philanthropy and channeled much of his personal fortune into social causes, has died. Simon died Sunday at his home in Pacific Palisades, Calif., his agent, Andy Patman said. He was 59. He was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer in 2011. After stints writing for “Taxi,” ‘‘Cheers” and “The Tracey Ullman Show,” Simon helped launch “The Simpsons” in 1989. He left the series after its fourth season under a deal that rewarded him with ongoing royalties from the show, which remains in production. He established the Sam Simon Foundation, which rescues dogs from animal shelters and trains them to assist the disabled. He also donated to Mercy for Animals, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, among other organizations, and funded a Los Angeles food bank. In an interview in 2013, he voiced a desire to spend all of his money on charitable causes. “I’m not sad,” he declared as he battled an illness that his doctors said might claim him within months. “I’m happy. I don’t feel angry and bitter. I want to do whatever I can to survive.”

Skier falls to death during fundraiser PINKHAM NOTCH, N.H. — Police say a skier participating in a Make-A-Wish fundraiser in New Hampshire has fallen 60 feet to his death after losing control on a trail. Police say 34-year-old North Conway resident Samuel Moore died at about 9:30 a.m. Monday at the Wildcat Ski Area in Pinkham Notch, in the White Mountains region. Police say he lost control while skiing near the bottom of the trail known as 5 Corners. They say he fell and tumbled down the trail before the drop. Forty skiers were participating Monday in the 12th-annual 100,000 Vertical Foot Challenge charity event for Make-A-Wish. Skiers were to log a total of 48 trail runs to achieve 100,000 vertical feet over the day.

Graphic video crash raises questions LOS ANGELES — Newly released video graphically depicts former rap music mogul Marion “Suge” Knight running over two men with his pickup truck

but leaves questions about an attack that he says forced him to speed away from the deadly crash. Surveillance footage from a Compton fast food restaurant shows one of the men getting knocked down as the pickup reverses. The truck then speeds forward, running over the fallen man and a second man. But an attorney for the Death Row Records co-founder says the video posted by celebrity news website TMZ shows that the men attacked his client before the deadly January encounter and that it will help his defense against murder and attempted murder charges. “They attacked ‘Suge’ without question,” Matthew Fletcher told reporters after a Monday court hearing. The video shows a red pickup truck pulling into the restaurant parking lot and a man approaching the driver’s side window. There is commotion in the cabin of Knight’s truck, but no clear footage of the purported attack. Sheriff’s officials declined to comment on the video’s contents and said they did not release it. “I told ‘Suge’: ‘This helps you beyond any stretch of the imagination,’” Fletcher said, adding that the law doesn’t require someone to flee an attack. Authorities allege Knight intentionally ran over the men, killing Terry Carter and seriously injuring Cle “Bone” Sloan. He has pleaded not guilty to murder, attempted murder and hit-and-run charges and faces up to life in prison if convicted of killing Carter, 55, on Jan. 29. Knight was a key player in the gangster rap scene that flourished in the 1990s, and his label once listed Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg among its artists. Knight lost control of the company after it was forced into bankruptcy. Knight, 49, did not speak at Monday’s brief hearing, which came a week after he was taken to a hospital from his previous court appearance, where he told a judge he was going blind and had fired his legal team. His previous attorney, David Kenner, has also said that he reviewed surveillance footage taken from the restaurant and it showed Knight being attacked. Knight is scheduled to return to court on March 20.

Cosby video touts comedy concert NEW YORK — Bill Cosby has a new video message out. In the video released Monday, he doesn’t address assault allegations made against him, but instead promotes

his upcoming Saturday show in Wheeling, West Virginia. Cosby is seated in an easy chair, dressed in fuchsia-colored pajamas, as he speaks into a phone in the 10-second spot released Monday. In the one-way conversation, Cosby says, “I’ll be hilarious,” then adds, “Can’t wait.” He’s far from finished, Cosby says in the note, invoking the title of his ongoing comedy tour that’s seen more than a dozen shows canceled. Since November, more than 20 women have leveled various assault accusations against Cosby. He has not been charged with a crime and he has denied the allegations through his attorneys.

Hernandez recorded on night of killing FALL RIVER, Mass. — Home surveillance video played for jurors Monday in the murder trial of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez shows him holding what prosecutors say is a gun and leaving his house with two co-defendants hours before the killing. Hernandez is accused of the June 17, 2013, killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee. Lloyd was found shot to death in an industrial park not far from Hernandez’s home. The video, taken by an extensive surveillance system in and around Hernandez’s home, shows him returning home from a night out celebrating Father’s Day with his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins. They are greeted by two Hernandez friends, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, who are also charged in the murder. Both men have pleaded not guilty and will be tried separately. Prosecutors played the video Monday during testimony by Jennifer Fortier, 28, who baby-sat for Hernandez and Jenkins’ infant daughter that night. On one clip, Hernandez can be seen walking through the living room carrying a black object at about 12:45 a.m. Fortier, who was there at the time, testified that she didn’t see the object. The video also shows Hernandez getting into the front passenger seat of a Nissan Altima rental car and leaving at 1:09 a.m. Wallace is driving and Ortiz sits in the rear driver’s-side seat. Surveillance video taken at a gas station south of Boston about an hour later and played earlier for the jury showed Hernandez driving the Nissan. Prosecutors have previously said they went to pick up Lloyd, then took him to the industrial park, where he was shot to death shortly before 3:30 a.m.

Small plane crash leaves two dead KOSCIUSKO — Attala County officials say two men died in a single engine plane crash. Coroner Sam Bell tells WTVA TV 52-yearold Allen Ray Ross, and 50-year-old Mark Deason, both of Kosciusko, were flying in a Bellanca aircraft over the Nile Community just before 5 p.m. Sunday when the plane crashed. Bell says both victims died at the scene. The sheriff’s department says the crashed occurred at the intersection of County Roads 1103 and 1106 in southern Attala County. Federal Aviation spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said in an email to The Associated Press the FAA is investigating the crash and that the National Transportation Safety Board will determine what caused it.

Districts working on missed school days GREENWOOD — School systems in the Greenwood area are working to address missed school days caused by recent snow and sleet. In the Greenwood district, Margaret Dean, director of communications, tells The Greenwood Commonwealth no decision has been made on how to make up four missed days. Byron Haynes, deputy superintendent for the Leflore County district, says their plans also are up in the air. The Carroll County district missed five days. Superintendent Billy Joe Ferguson at a special meeting last week, the school board approved adding four days to the end of the district’s calendar.

Seaport’s delayed arrival on schedule GREENVILLE — SeaPort Airlines’ long-awaited and twice-delayed inaugural flight out of Greenville Mid-Delta Airport is set for departure. SeaPort executive vice president Tim Sieber tells The Delta DemocratTimes company signage is expected to be hung in the terminal Friday. The Portland, Oregonbased regional carrier’s inaugural departure to Memphis International Airport is scheduled for 6 a.m. March 16. The U.S. Department of Transportation last summer announced that Greenville no longer qualified for federally subsidized Essential Air Service because average daily boardings for SeaPort’s predecessor, Florida-based Silver Airways, had fallen below the program’s minimum 10 passenger-a-day threshold. The city appealed, and in late October, the Department of Transportation reversed course, allowing SeaPort to restore passenger service to Greenville, which has

Sieber says the company is investing $100,000 in getting its Greenville operations off the ground, exceeding its anticipated first-year profit of $94,000. The federal government, under terms of its two-year contract with the airline, will provide SeaPort with an annual subsidy of $1.48 million for service to and from Greenville. SeaPort anticipates fares in its first year of service will generate $484,000. The airline expects total first-year operating expenses of $1.9 million. SeaPort initially announced it would begin its Greenville to Memphis service Jan. 12. That was put on hold when the airline and the Memphis Shelby County Airport Authority failed to reach terms on a lease between the carrier and the airport for use of a gate at its main terminal.

Bribery conviction sentencing delayed GULFPORT — Sentencing for former Harrison County Supervisor Kim Savant has been delayed until July 30. U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden reset the date last week. The move comes after the trial of Kamran Pahlavan, former executive director of the Harrison County Utility Authority, was delayed until July 13. Savant pleaded guilty in December to taking bribes from Pass Christian contractor Sean Anthony while an authority board member. Anthony is scheduled to plead guilty Tuesday. Pahlavan pleaded not guilty in December to a five-count indictment alleging he took bribes from Anthony. Savant faces up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines on one count of conspiracy to commit bribery. The government also wants Savant to forfeit his gains totaling $36,000 over two years. He remains free on bond.

Columbus targets downtown property COLUMBUS — The Columbus Redevelop-

ment Authority is making its first big push for a project to revitalize city neighborhoods. But that project may require public money from an inter-local partnership that at least one county leader says will never happen. CRA board president John Acker says the authority’s intent to pursue redeveloping five blocks adjacent to Burns Bottom Soccer Complex downtown. Acker tells The Commercial Dispatch the redevelopment authority would now seek an independent appraisal of all lots within the project area, then seek city and county funding to purchase the lots. By state law, neither the city nor the county can pay more than the appraised value for private property. From there, developers could bid on properties within the project area — or the entire project area, for that matter — to bring in retail or residential developments. “We’ve not done any kind of usage study,” Acker said. “Our gut feeling when we started putting this plan together was for commercial retail. But the developers we’ve met with so far seem to think its best use may be residential.” The Columbus City Council appointed a fivemember redevelopment authority board in August 2014, and its aim is to improve property values and quality of life within the city’s Urban Renewal District. The council also appropriated CRA $50,000 for fiscal year 2015.

$1 million of hidden cash found by police GULFPORT — A suspected cartel courier found in Mississippi with more than $1.07 million hidden in a towed vehicle has entered a guilty plea in federal court. The Sun Herald reports 29-year-old Luis Miguel Aguilar Gutierrez, of Brownsville, Texas, will be sentenced May 6 for misprision of felony, a charge that involves knowing a crime was being committed but failing to report it. Prosecutors say the FBI had identified him as a courier for a Mexican drug cartel after his arrest Sept. 3 in a traffic stop on Interstate 10 near Moss Point.

Group to retrace Selma march The Associated Press

SELMA, Ala. â€” A group of about 100 people set out Monday to retrace the historic steps taken 50 years ago, when demonstrators pushing for equal voting rights marched from Selma, Alabama, to the state Capitol in Montgomery. Back then, it was their third attempt to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. During their first try, they were beaten by state and local police on March 7, 1965, in what would become known as â€œBloody Sunday.â€? On the second attempt, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. turned the march around on the bridge. The third time, the demonstrators made the 54-mile trek to Montgomery, stopping each day after about 10 miles. Here are some stories from the current march:

Young marcher Eleven-year-old Desiree Robertson carried an American flag helping lead the group of marchers down a rolling stretch of highway.

Does she think sheâ€™s up for the entire 54-mile walk? Well, yeah. â€œI did it when I was 8. It was fun,â€? Robertson said. Her uncles marched in 1965 and her grandmother is involved in the re-enactment marches to Montgomery. She is taking the week off of school for the march.

Then and now Tall and lean, John Rankin, 68, wearing a reflective vest and an â€œI love Jesusâ€? button, walked past the burned out shells of homes that once served the now-closed Craig Air Force base on the outskirts of Selma. The homes were turned into a low-rent housing development, but many are uninhabitable after being burned, vandalized or looted. The region remains swathed in poverty, he said, noting that the lock manufacturer where he worked closed more than a decade ago. â€œWe have a long way to go. People need good jobs,â€? Rankin said. Rankin, who has made

the Selma-to-Montgomery walk six times, was just a teen when his head was cracked by a club during Bloody Sunday. â€œWe were just expecting to go to jail we werenâ€™t expecting to get beat up,â€? Rankin said. Fifty years later, there is an African-American president and Jim Crow laws are long eradicated, but in some ways Selma is â€œnot that muchâ€? different. The schools are segregated again, he said, as white families pay for private school and the public schools are almost entirely black students or other minorities. â€œThe same is that there are no jobs,â€? Rankin said.

A new movement Bernard Lafayette, 74, came to Selma in 1962 as an organizer with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. He said he volunteered to work on voter registration in the city, considered one of the most resistant to voting rights and integration. On Monday, along the Highway 80 route,

he pulled out his smartphone from his jacket pocket, showing a black and white photo of him along the same stretch of highway during the 1965 march. â€œI was on the front lines telling people to slow down so people in the back could catch up,â€? Lafayette said. Breathing a bit hard as he walked, Lafayette smiled at the children, some as young as 11, walking more briskly up ahead. â€œLook at those young people up there. They are middle school, high school. We were the young people in our day. Now we see ourselves,â€? Lafayette said. Behind him, young marchers sang a song with lyrics about Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner â€” who died after being placed in a choke hold by a police officer in New York. â€œI can hear my neighbor calling, â€˜I canâ€™t breathe,â€? they sang. â€œThatâ€™s a new song. Thatâ€™s how you can tell youâ€™ve got a movement, when youâ€™ve got new songs,â€? Lafayette said.

LET US ASSIST YOU WITH ALL OF YOUR FAMILYâ€™S EYE CARE NEEDS

286-6171 Read â€“ Believe â€“ Obey Millions of people around the world believe the Bible to be the word of God. Many accept this as fact and do not question it. Others are skeptical of it, but only because the have not read - investigated its contents or examined its teaching. Still others reject the Bible entirely because they have been born and reared to accept something else. Where in this scene do we ďŹ nd ourself? We would brieďŹ‚y give you some reasons why you should believe the Bible to be the word of God. 1. The Bible claims to be the word of God. It is called the word of God. â€œThe Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth droughtâ€? - Jermiah 14:1. Peter teaches us that holy men of God spoke as they were moved - directed by the Holy Spirit - 2 Peter 2:20-21. Christ frequently quoted from the Old Testament, calling it the Word of God - John 10:35. True science and the Bible are in agreement. The Bible and geography agree. The Bible and secular history support each other. 2. The Bible is a wonderful book of unity. Some 40 different authors over a period of 1600 years, the writers were if different professions, coming from different parts of the country â€“ yet it completely ďŹ ts together as one uniďŹ ed book. How could this have been possible if God had not been directing the entire writing? So, â€œHoly men of God spoke as the Holy Spirit directed them.â€? No other book teaches man what to do in order to be saved. Read Acts 2:14-47 - The ďŹ rst time the good News was preached. The ďŹ rst time man cried out - â€œWhat must I do to be savedâ€?? The same writes Luke gave the answerâ€? Repent and be baptized - immersed - all of you, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; for the remission of sins. Why would one want to challenge or discredit the inspired Word of God? The Bible has stood the test of time. It has had many enemies but it has outlived them all. 3. The Bible has the greatest and best inďŹ‚uence on man of any book in all the world, as bad as the people of the world may be, it is as good as it is because of the inďŹ‚uence of the Bible. It is the Truth, a guide from earth to heaven. Believe it, obey its teaching, and be blessed by its promise. Have you obeyed the Gospel?

School cuts off frat after racist chant The Associated Press

NORMAN, Okla. â€” The president of the University of Oklahoma severed the schoolâ€™s ties with a national fraternity on Monday and ordered that its on-campus house be shuttered after several members took part in a racist chant caught on video. President David Boren said he was sickened and couldnâ€™t eat or sleep after learning about the video Sunday afternoon. The video, which was posted online, shows several people on a bus participating in a chant that included a racial slur, referenced lynching and indicated black students would never be admitted to OUâ€™s chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Boren attended a predawn rally organized by students and lambasted those fraternity members as â€œdisgracefulâ€? and called their behavior â€œreprehen-

sible.â€? He said the university was looking into a range of punishment, including expulsion. â€œThis is not who we are,â€? Boren said at a midday news conference. â€œIâ€™d be glad if they left. I might even pay the bus fare for them.â€? National leaders of Sigma Alpha Epsilon said late Sunday that its investigation confirmed members took part in the chant and announced it would close the local chapter. The national group said it was â€œembarrassedâ€? by the â€œunacceptable and racistâ€? behavior. Boren said members have until midnight Tuesday to remove their belongings from the fraternity house. He said the fraternity was â€œnot totally forthcoming,â€? and he was still trying to find out who was on the bus so the school could consider disciplinary actions. He said the universityâ€™s

legal staff is exploring whether the students who initiated and encouraged the chant may have violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits racial discrimination. â€œWe are also going to look at any individual perpetrators, particularly those that we think took a lead in this kind of activity,â€? Boren said. Itâ€™s unclear who recorded the video, when it was recorded and who initially posted it online. Boren suggested it was likely taken by another student who didnâ€™t agree with what was being chanted. OU Unheard, a black student group on campus, posted a link to the video after someone anonymously called it to the groupâ€™s attention Sunday afternoon, communications director Alexis Hall said Monday. â€œWe immediately needed to share that with the OU student body,â€? said

Hall, a junior. â€œFor students to say theyâ€™re going to lynch an entire group of people. ... Itâ€™s disgusting.â€? The video appears to have been taken on a charter bus, with at least one of the chanting young men wearing a tuxedo. â€œI was shocked they were just doing it openly on the bus, like they were proud of it,â€? said Jared Scarborough, a junior in construction science. â€œFrom the chant you could tell they had done it before. It wasnâ€™t a firsttime thing. And it was everybody. And the fistpumping.â€? A university police cruiser was parked Monday outside the fraternity house, a sprawling two-story, sand-colored brick building on a street lined with Greek houses just west of the center of campus. The Greek letters were removed from the side of the house Monday afternoon.

Disabled woman testifies at bombing trial The Associated Press

BOSTON â€” A woman testifying from a wheelchair Monday in the Boston Marathon bombing trial recalled shielding her husband from the sight of his mangled leg, being pushed to the ground by a bystander frantically trying to extinguish the flames on her body and coming to grips with becoming a double amputee.

Jessica Kensky said she and her husband, Patrick Downes, each lost a left leg in the 2013 attack. After more than 18 months of surgeries and consultations with doctors around the country, she came to the painful conclusion that her right leg would have to be amputated, too, she said. â€œI did not want to become a bilateral amputee,â€? Kensky said. â€œI want-

ed to paint my toenails, I wanted to put my feet in the sand, and I wanted to do all these things. To lose the second leg was a gutwrenching, devastating decision.â€? Kenskyâ€™s account came during the third day of testimony in the federal death penalty trial of bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, whose own lawyers have acknowledged his involvement but insist

he was influenced by his older brother, Tamerlan, who was killed during a getaway attempt days after the bombings. Jurors also watched a timeline video compiled by the FBI using surveillance video from stores and restaurants near the marathon finish line. The video, which shows both brothersâ€™ movements around the time of the bombings, focuses on Dzhokhar and shows him carrying a backpack up until he gets to the front of the Forum restaurant, when he is shown dropping the bag from his shoulder. One frame then shows the backpack at his feet. The backpack is in a crowd of people and just feet from children standing on a metal barrier, including 8-year-old Martin Richard, who was killed, and his younger sister, Jane, who lost a leg in the blast. As the first bomb explodes, the video shows everyone in the crowd turning toward the blast. Tsarnaev does not look in that direction and instead begins to walk in the other direction. Seconds later, the second bomb explodes, and Tsarnaev, who prosecutors say detonated the second bomb, is seen running with a crowd of people who are also running. People are also shown jumping over metal barriers as smoke wafts over the scene.

Knowing yourself is essential to growth You go through life being aware of other people. You are conscious of who you like and who you dislike along with the reasons why. Of the people you Bryan are closest Golden to, you can probably Dare to Live list some Without Limits of their strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes. You might even have insight into their motivation for doing certain things. But do you know who you are? Can you list all of your strengths and weaknesses? Are you able to identify your likes and dislikes? Knowing yourself is essential for plan-

ning your own journey. Unfortunately, too many people devote little or no effort to understanding themselves. Without this insight, itâ€™s difficult, if not impossible, to determine the route which offers you the most reward and satisfaction. Until you know what you want from life, you canâ€™t figure out the best strategy to achieve it. Start now beginning your introspective self-assessment. This exercise is only for you. Itâ€™s based on what you think, not what others think of you. You donâ€™t need to show or discuss your results with anyone. You do not need to justify or explain yourself. First, list all of your strengths. Anything counts, no matter how small or insignificant it

may be. A strength can be anything that is easy for you to accomplish, anything you are good at, or anything that comes naturally. Include everything without making any judgments. Donâ€™t reject strengths you donâ€™t like. Next, honestly itemize all of your weaknesses. A weakness is anything you are not good at or struggle with. Again, how you feel about each weakness isnâ€™t relevant at this point. It doesnâ€™t matter why you feel something is a weakness. Now you are ready to identify everything you like. Make a complete list. Donâ€™t eliminate anything for any reason. Cost, practicality, or image doesnâ€™t matter. The only requirement is that you really like each item you

include. The last step is to itemize all those things you donâ€™t like. Once again, include everything. All that matters is how you feel about it. Anyone elseâ€™s opinion is irrelevant. After you have generated all four lists, itâ€™s time to start integrating the different categories. Begin by matching your strengths to what you like. There is no pressure to make perfect links from these two lists. But ideally your strengths that match your likes give you a good indication as to a fulfilling direction you may want to take. You may also have identified strengths you were not consciously aware of. This is one of the benefits of an honest self-assessment.

Capitalizing on your strengths is a powerful strategy for accelerating your accomplishments. Everyone has more potential within themselves than they realize. Look through your weaknesses. Identify any weaknesses that are preventing you from doing something you like. Any weakness can be overcome with desire, dedication, effort, and persistence. Many weaknesses are actually just self-imposed limitations. When you tell your mind there is something you canâ€™t do, it believes you, creates a weakness, and impacts your behavior accordingly. Weaknesses can also be imposed by others. When you believe someone elseâ€™s assessment about

your abilities, a weakness is embedded in your mind that is just as stifling as if you thought of it yourself. Weaknesses serve as excuses for inaction or avoidance. Goals are labeled as unrealistic when weaknesses are considered roadblocks. Success requires that you refuse to let perceived weaknesses halt your progress. Knowing who you are provides you with the insight necessary to identify meaningful goals and take action to reach them. When you know who you are, your life has direction and purpose.

Cancer is in remission for teen forced to undergo chemo The Associated Press

HARTFORD, Conn. â€” A 17-year-old Connecticut girl who was forced to undergo chemotherapy by the state after she and her mother refused treatment is happy her cancer is in remission but still upset she had no choice in the matter. The girl, identified in court documents only as Cassandra C., told The Associated Press in a phone interview Monday that she believes alternative treatments would have had the same result as chemotherapy. A re-

cent medical scan showed no signs of the Hodgkin lymphoma that was diagnosed in September, and she expects to complete chemo next month. â€œI was really happy,â€? she said about learning the cancer was in remission. â€œIt kind of made it a lot easier to accept everything that has gone on here. Iâ€™m still never going to be completely happy with how this happened, having this treatment forced upon me. ... Itâ€™s my body.â€? She added, â€œKnowing now that the chemo

wasnâ€™t as bad as I thought it was going to be, I probably wouldnâ€™t fight so hard against it.â€? A Juvenile Court hearing is scheduled for next week on a request by Cassandra and her mother to end the DCF custody so she can go home immediately instead of having to wait until the chemo is over, said her lawyer, assistant public defender Joshua Michtom. Cassandra said DCF has prohibited her from having any contact with her mother and she hasnâ€™t seen her mom since New Yearâ€™s.

Cassandra said she didnâ€™t want to poison her body with chemotherapy and wanted to explore alternative treatments â€” a course of action her mother supported. Doctors had said chemo would give her an 85 percent chance of survival, but without it, there was a near certainty of death within two years. After Cassandra was diagnosed with high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma, she and her mother missed several appointments, prompting doctors to notify the DCF, court documents say. A trial court in

November granted DCF temporary custody of Cassandra. Lawyers for Cassandra and her mother then sought an injunction prohibiting medical treatment but failed. The case went to the state Supreme Court, which ruled in January that the state wasnâ€™t violating Cassandraâ€™s rights by forcing her to undergo chemotherapy. The case centered on the â€œmature minor doctrineâ€? recognized by several other states â€” whether 16- and 17-year-olds are mature enough to make their own

medical decisions. Cassandra will be free to make her own medical decisions when she turns 18 in September. DCF Commissioner Joette Katz said in a statement that agency officials are pleased with â€œCassandraâ€™s progress toward a complete recovery.â€? â€œWe understand how difficult this has been for Cassandra and her family, but we have had full confidence throughout that the medical professionals involved in her treatment would be successful in saving her life,â€? Katz said.

Extent of Obamaâ€™s executive CIVIL WAR RELIC SHOW reach often in eye of beholder March 14TH & 15TH The Associated Press

WASHINGTON â€” When it comes to President Barack Obama exerting presidential powers, Republicans have made it clear they want to keep him in check. Except when they donâ€™t. Democrats, for their part, want the president to be aggressive in his use of executive authority. But not at all times. Obamaâ€™s go-it-alone strategy on immigration, the environment and other policies has been a recurring target of the GOP, which risked an agency shutdown in an effort to restrain the president. But on issues such as trade and fighting Islamic State militants, Republicans want Obama to have

more authority, not less. Democrats are their foil, cheering Obamaâ€™s actions on immigration and the environment, but eager to rein in the president on matters of trade and war. Obama is not the first president to want to flex his muscle and then find congressional pushback. But the lack of consistency between the parties was apparent as Democratic lawmakers resisted Republican efforts to curtail Obamaâ€™s actions on immigration, but flipped sides as the Senate prepared for a hearing on Obamaâ€™s proposal to confront IS. Republicans also are working to build support for giving Obama special authority to negotiate international trade deals

that Congress can only approve or reject, not amend. Most Democrats are fighting back. â€œIn the main, what you see is Democratic legislators who will call for and embrace expansive presidential powers as long as a Democrat occupies the White House. And likewise with Republicans,â€? said University of Chicago political scientist William Howell, co-author of the book, â€œThinking about the Presidency: The Primacy of Power.â€? â€œWhatâ€™s interesting thatâ€™s going on now is that you have some policy domains where Republicans are actually arguing on behalf of stronger presidential power while a Democrat is in office,â€? he said.

Emerging winners and losers Between you and Warren Buffett, the average person has a net worth of more than $35 billion. Of course, thatâ€™s entirely because Buffett is worth roughly double that. But it shows the dangers of looking at just the average when numbers are wildly disparate. Such is the case with emerging-market stock mutual funds today. The average fund has returned 0.1 percent over the last year, a seemingly ho-hum performance. But that belies big movements within the category. The top-performing fund over that same span has returned 13.7 percent, while the bottom one has lost 17.7 percent.

Whatâ€™s behind the sharp split? Countries that are big producers of commodities, particularly oil, are struggling. Countries that are net importers of commodities, meanwhile, are reaping the benefits of lower costs. So any emerging-market fund that has bulked up on stocks from Russia, Latin America or other big commodity exporters is struggling. Funds that lean more heavily on India, meanwhile, have prospered. Stocks there have surged because the country is a net oil importer and because of optimism that the government is pushing through economic reforms.

Economic bellwether U.S. wholesale businesses have notched flat or falling sales the past five months. In December, wholesale sales fell 0.4 percent, matching the drop a month earlier. The decline in sales has contributed to a slowdown in the growth of wholesale inventories as businesses have cut back on restocking in the face of weaker demand. Economists anticipate that the Commerce Department will report today that wholesale business sales declined in January.

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I live in a rental space with my aunt and uncle. We enjoyed it until recently. Here’s what happened: During the time we have been here, the rental space has had several different managers. All were nice and tried their best, but this new manager is treating us poorly. “Sally” is evil and rude, and if she’s right, you’re wrong. Her attitude toward us makes us feel terrible. We pay our rent every month on time. We try to keep our rental space as clean as possible. We are cordial to our neighbors. However, when we got a bedbug infestation, Sally said it was our fault. We have heard from previous residents that they have had infestations, as well. A family had to move out because of this. Another needed to have their rental space exterminated before moving in. I don’t think Sally is totally familiar with infestations. She knew nothing about bedbugs and had to read up on them. She thinks there is nothing wrong with blaming us, yet the fact that others on this property have had infestations indicates that the problem has been kicking around for a while, and others may have bedbugs soon. She is charging us for the exterminator, even

Annie’s Mailbox though we weren’t the ones who called him. She also arranged a follow-up spray without asking us. She is making us feel that we need to leave. How do we find out who the owner is so I can report Sally? — Concerned Dear Concerned: Some unenlightened landlords blame bedbug infestations on the residents, but the truth is that a single infestation can reappear anywhere in the entire apartment complex over and over, regardless of origin, which is what may have happened in your space. It is necessary for all of the apartments in the vicinity to be thoroughly disinfected, meaning the neighbors above, below and on either side. You can find out who owns the rental spaces through your county government offices, which should have records of land ownership. (In Chicago, it would be the Recorder of Deeds, but it varies by location.)

Dear Annie: My best friend’s daughter is getting married this summer and has requested that her mom give her a bridal shower. Since the couple has been living together for a while, they did not register for gifts and are asking that the shower invitation include a suggestion for money or gift cards. I have heard that this is a common practice these days. But I think it’s ill mannered to ask your guests for money. What is your take on this? — OldFashioned in Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: The way it works is for close friends and family of the bride to pass the word that cash or gift cards are preferred, and not include this in the shower invitation. It is also wise for the bride and groom to register for a few items, perhaps from a store they frequent where unwanted items can be returned for merchandise credit. This allows guests who are uncomfortable giving money to give something else. After all, giving anything is up to the guest, and the couple should show gratitude for whatever is received.
