Aldermen still undecided on trustee to the table Tuesday with none succeeding. The matter was finally tabled until the April 7 meeting.

A motion to reappoint longserving Ann Walker, who is currently president of the Corinth School District Board of Trustees, failed in a 4-3 vote. Mike Hopkins made the motion with Michael McFall and Ben Albar-

The Corinth Board of Aldermen continues to be at a stalemate on a school board appointment, and one alderman is now asking for other interested individuals to step forward.

Motions on the same three candidates that were named at the prior meeting again came

racin joining him to vote “yes.”

“No” votes from Andrew “Bubba” Labas, Chip Wood and J.C. Hill resulted in a 3-3 tie which Mayor Tommy Irwin broke with a “no” vote. Irwin had not had the opportunity to interview one of the candidates, and was not ready to vote on the issue.

Going forward, he wants po-

tential appointees to boards and commissions to know that an interview is expected. He also wants the aldermen to hear from the prospects.

A motion by Labas to appoint Rachele Taylor, an engineer, was voted down 4-2, with Wood also voting “yes.” A motion by Hill to appoint Lafayette Jourdan III, a retired businessman,

died for lack of a second.

Wood said he spent the last two weeks looking for a candidate for the post, and the person that he asked declined.

Motorist finds toddler in road

Stan Ray couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw a toddler standing in the middle of the road.

Tuesday started as a normal day for Ray, but it took a very unusual twist.

The owner of Ray Heating and Air was on his way to work on County Road 400 (Salem Road) when he came upon an unusual sight around 9:30 a.m.

School district goes wireless

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn School District is going wireless.

Board members accepted the more than $262,000 bid from InCare to install wireless Internet at all 11 district campuses pending E-Rate funding approval.

“Although InCare did not submit the lowest bid, they are the only company who guarantees speed,” said Network Administrator Rose Seaborn. “The wireless will be capable of delivering high speed Internet connections for up to

30 devices per classroom.”

InCare will provide the district a turnkey operation with Ruckus R700 with WAVE2 Guarantee Extreme Switches.

“It’s no secret we are behind technology wise in the Alcorn School District,” said board member Russ Nash. “Wireless is the next step for us. We need to do this.”

The district also received wireless Internet bids from C Spire, Synergetics and Venture Technologies. Seaborn said she hopes the wireless will be operational before the 2015-16 school year kicks off in August.

Charity Ball menu to have ’20s flavor

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Guests at the 53rd Annual Charity Ball will dine on scrumptious appetizers and decadent desserts as they socialize at the 1920’s-style shindig.

“The menu is going to be super classic and consist of heavy Waldorf Astoria-type hors d’ oeuvres,” said Charity Ball Refreshment Chairwoman Susan Bailey. “Due to the popularity of our charcuterie table, we are bringing it back again this year.”

Featuring soppressata, mortadella, salami, pepperoni, prosciutto, drunken goat cheese, cheddar, parmesan and blue cheese, pickled grapes and snow peas, olives, peppadews and pepperoncinis, and breadsticks and crackers, the charcuterie table is shap-

ing up to be quite the spread.

Grandiose appetizers will include prime rib sliders with horseradish aioli, shrimp cocktails, spinach dip with chips, Waldorf chicken salad mini croissants, meatball on a skewer and smoked salmon crudité with a caviar garnish.

“Dessert will be black and white,” said Bailey. “In addition to chocolate-dipped strawberries, mini cupcakes and brownies and champagne jello shots, SoCo Bakery will be preparing black and white cookies.”

A cash bar with a selection of five different beers, wine, champagne and giggle water will be available at $5 per ticket.

This is accomplished through social, charitable and volunteer activities.

Annually, Modern Woodmen and its members provide more than $23 million and nearly 1 million volunteer hours for community projects nationwide.

arrived before he, deputy Mackie Sexton and the department’s Patricia Pierce started going house-to-house to see where the toddler lived.

“She (grandmother) was preparing breakfast and went into another room,” said Willis of how the child disappeared.

“When she came back, the child was gone.”

The grandmother told Willis they began looking for the child outside the house first.

“It was a simple mistake that shows how

quick a child can leave,” said Willis.

The Department of Human Services was called to the scene.

“That’s something we routinely do in a situation like this,” said Willis. “I am just so glad the child was not harmed.”

So is Ray. “You don’t plan on finding a child in the middle of the road every morning,” said Ray. “The closer you get to something like that it startles you. … I’m glad everything turned out OK.”

Today in History

Allen competes for Miss Teen Tennessee

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

Today is Wednesday, March 18, the 77th day of 2015. There are 288 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On March 18, 1965, the first spacewalk took place as Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov went outside his Voskhod 2 capsule, secured by a tether. Farouk I, the former king of Egypt, died in exile in Rome.

On this date: In 1766, Britain repealed the Stamp Act of 1765.

In 1925, the TriState Tornado struck southeastern Missouri, southern Illinois and southwestern Indiana, resulting in some 700 deaths.

In 1940, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini met at the Brenner Pass, where the Italian dictator agreed to join Germany’s war against France and Britain.

In 1959, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Hawaii statehood bill. (Hawaii became a state on Aug. 21, 1959.)

In 1962, France and Algerian rebels signed the Evian Accords, a cease-fire agreement which took effect the next day, ending the Algerian War. In 1974, most of the Arab oil-producing nations ended their 5-month-old embargo against the United States that had been sparked by American support for Israel in the Yom Kippur War. In 1980, Frank Gotti, the 12-year-old youngest son of mobster John Gotti, was struck and killed by a car driven by John Favara, a neighbor in Queens, New York. (The following July, Favara vanished, the apparent victim of a gang hit.)

In 1990, thieves made off with 13 works of art from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.

In 1995, Spain’s Princess Elena married a banker, Jaime de Marichalar y Saenz de Tejada, in Seville.

SELMER, Tenn. — An engaging personality and a competitive desire to do well will boost one Selmer teenager’s chances at taking the crown when she competes in the Miss Teen Tennessee Pageant this weekend in Jackson.

Katie Allen, a freshman at McNairy Central High School, earned her spot in the state pageant by winning the Miss Henderson County Pageant.

The pageant will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Saturday at the Carl Perkins Center.

Tickets are $30 for reserved seating and $20 for general admission.

Katie, 15, will be competing against other young ladies ages 13-17 from across Tennessee.

“I did not know anything about this (Henderson Co.) pageant and I wanted to try something new,” said Katie. “I was surprised I won. The pageants have helped me meet more people.”

Vicki Allen, Katie’s mother, has been impressed with how hard Katie has prepared for the stage pageant by doing practice interviews, working out, and by going head-first into her platform, Backpack Ministries.

“Katie has come out of her shell since she began working for this pageant,” said Vicki. “She is not as shy now and that is going to help her.”

Job numbers have good and bad news Associated Press

JACKSON — Here’s the good news: Mississippi’s job market in January had the strongest month in at least three years.

But balance that with the bad: The state remained tied in January with Nevada for the highest unemployment rate of any state, and its struggling recovery has a long way to go before reaching pre-recession employment levels.

The state’s jobless rate fell to 7.1 percent, down from 7.2 percent in December and 7.9 percent in January 2014.

PARK CONTINUED FROM 1A

campaign in March of 2014.

“It’s a huge campaign,” said Wilkerson. “People will start to see more of it in the coming months.”

In addition to making all 401 national parks go-to destinations, the campaign will highlight the historic preservation and outdoor recreation work the National Park Service does with communities across the country and the value it brings to Americans every day.

“Our goal is to get people to come to parks, then figure out what they like,” said Wilkerson. “Once we connect with them, then we can get them to the next stage of support.”

Chalybeate Water Association to meet CHALYBEATE — The Chalybeate Water Association will hold their annual water meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at 2551 Hwy 354.

Hee Haw Show raises money for cancer SELMER, Tenn. — The McNairy County Hee Haw Show is slated for 6:30 p.m. at McNairy Central High School today through Saturday.

Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for ages 7-12 and free for those 6 and under.

All proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society.

‘Dancing with The King’ to be held at St. James TUPELO — If you love Dancing With The Stars, you’ll love “Dancing With The King.”

Tickets are on sale now through Monday, March 23 for this fun evening where dancers will pay tribute to Elvis Presley’s music.

The scholarship fundraiser is set for 7 p.m. Saturday, March 28, in Shelton Hall at St. James Catholic Church in Tupelo.

The event will feature a catered dinner, both amateur

and professional competitions with couples dancing to their favorite Elvis songs, a performance by Elvis tribute artist Jack Curtis and a Chinese raffle of more than 30 prize baskets.

Tickets are just $50 per person for those looking to enjoy dinner and a great show.

There are other Elvis centered events over the course of the weekend. Each person who contributes $75 or more to the scholarship fund will receive tickets to the Friday night rock ‘n’ roll party at the Elvis Presley Birthplace Museum, sponsored by the Tupelo Elvis Fan Club and a tour of Elvis’ childhood haunts led

by Tupelo Elvis Historian, Roy Turner. This level of contribution also includes admission to “Dancing With The King” Saturday evening.

“Dancing With The King” is a special project of the CREATE Foundation.

This event is partially funded by The Tupelo Elvis Presley Fan Club, the Tupelo Convention & Visitors Bureau, the MDA Tourism Division, the Elaine Dundy and Roy Turner Endowment for the Arts and the City of Tupelo.

Katie admitted she was the type to nod her head when someone spoke to her in the past and now she likes talking to people.

The witty teenager said that her pageant coach has asked her to not talk “Southern” at the pageant.

While she may not have a thick Southern accent, she does talk in rapidfire spurts.

The state pageant will consist of an evening gown competition, personal interviews with the judges and being onstage in fitness clothes.

Katie’s heart has been touched by her work with Backpack Ministries. She works with a group at Selmer Elementary to prepare food every Friday to send home in a backpack for children to have something to eat over the weekend.

“Her platform has been an eye-opener for Katie,” said her mother. “She now understands how many children are out there that need help in getting food at their homes.”

The pageant and Backpack Ministries have excited Katie’s friends as well during this process the past few months.

“My friends are as excited as I am about the pageant and they have enjoyed helping with Backpack Ministries,” said Katie. “We have learned some things that will help all of us.”

Corinth, Miss.

Obama throws Hillary under the bus

BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

With friends like Obama, Hillary doesn’t need enemies. Asked about his secretary of state’s insistence on using her own email server, located in her house, the president was quick to contrast Hillary’s behavior with his own policy of “transparency.”

“The policy of my administration,” the president noted, “is to encourage transparency, which is why my emails, the Blackberry I carry around, all those records are available and archived.”

He then defended Hillary with faint praise, sidestepping the chance to offer a substantive defense of her private emails and, instead, blandly noting that “Let me just say that Hillary Clinton is and has been an outstanding public servant. She was a great secretary of state for me.” Some defense!

The next day, Obama’s press secretary was questioned as to when the president learned that Hillary wasn’t using the government emails. He noted that the president had gotten emails from Hillary and must have noticed the address on them. But he, too, sidestepped a chance to defend the actions of the former secretary of state.

Were Obama’s comments merely about the actions of his former secretary of state, they would be surprising by themselves. But to leave the all-but-certain Democratic nominee out there slowly twisting in the wind is incredible.

It can mean only one thing: That Hillary Clinton is no longer the all-but-certain nominee.

For a year or more, Obama has hinted that we would welcome a Warren candidacy.

Worried that Hillary would be insufficiently liberal to protect his legacy of power grabs and stop their reversal by more balanced cabinet secretaries, he wants a real radical to succeed him.

Now, his tepid defense of Hillary makes clear that he sees an opportunity to leave Hillary out there by herself and is in no hurry to pull her chestnuts out of the fire.

Especially since Hillary cannot defend herself, Obama’s reluctance to come to her aid is surprising. The former secretary of state has been virtually mum in her own defense, confining her justifications to a short tweet expressing the hope that the public will be able to see all her emails. Clinton’s lawyers doubtless have her muzzled so that she doesn’t say anything that could hurt her should criminal changes be brought.

In the larger scandal, we are still waiting for the other shoe to drop: Did Hillary keep classified information on her in home server?

If she did, she is as guilty as former CIA director John Deutch, General David Petraeus, and former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, all of whom have been cited for breeching security and punished accordingly (except for Deutch who got a presidential pardon).

If there is classified info on that server, Hillary may be finished. But she doesn’t look too good right now.

(Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill. His wife, Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant.)

Prayer for today Almighty God, help me to live an upright life. Give me courage to abandon useless customs, and seeming duties that keep me from perfecting my life. Amen.

Morsels of warmth remind of spring BILOXI — If you need a jump start on spring, this is the place. The sun striping through a cloud filter lights up the ocean like a Sundayschool painting of Jesus ascending.

Birds chirp. Mothers push baby buggies the size of my first Volkswagen.

Spring-break plungers are testing the still-cold Mississippi Sound, youngsters too pressed for time to wait for warmer weather. I remember, vaguely, such impatience. I remember sunbathing in February and swimming in March. The first ferry ride of spring to Ship Island was cause for a full cooler and jubilation.

I guess candles burning at both ends kept us warm.

Now I am content to watch the urgency of others. And for that I have an excellent view. From the grounds of the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art, the spring tableau unfolds.

I love this place, a museum in five pieces, build-

ings designed by worldfamous architect Frank Gehry “to dance with the ancient Rheta live oaks.”

Johnson The stainless-steel Columnist pods gleam in the spotty sunshine, looking like an alien landing pad.

Gehry famously built the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain, and the Walt Disney concert hall in Los Angeles. He seems to me an architect’s architect, not bound by convention or cost or hidebound opinion.

To find his amazing work here, in a seaside town better known for its bikini and beach towel shops with shark heads protruding from pink stucco. This is a true visual promotion. Gehry and goofy golf inhabit the same world after all.

The ceaselessly selfpromoting Mad Potter of

Biloxi, George Ohr, would have loved it. Too bad he died in 1918 and will never know about a famous architect designing a first-class museum in his honor.

Nothing white bread or boring about Ohr’s pots, and the same could be said of Gehry’s design. Two peas in a stainless-steel pod.

Ten years ago, the museum was still under construction when Katrina sent a casino barge spinning across Highway 90, leveling the work. It was a collision of fine art and nickel slots.

Nothing to do but begin again.

There is something satisfying about this museum rising from the casino debris ashes. And I find it fitting that this quiet place is now respite for those of us who get bored quickly stuffing hard-earned bills into slot machines.

Today a wedding is about to be held inside the museum’s main lobby, and so the saga of spring continues. A

flower girl is getting her hair curled in a hallway. Flowers are arriving. The bride emerges and looks, same as all spring brides, like a vision of hope.

Maybe, as they say, youth is wasted on the young, but they sure look nice while wasting it.

If I designed a calendar, what I’m watching now would be the glossy photograph for March. Birds.

Brides. Boys parasailing their way into girls’ hearts.

Buildings without square corners.

Just when you think the world has been reduced to upper respiratory infections and reading the AARP magazine cover to cover, a morsel of budding warmth is thrown your way, creating a date to remember. Spring is coming after all.

Does Iran really want a nuclear bomb?

America, we have a problem.

In the blood-soaked chaotic Middle East, with few exceptions like the Kurds, our friends either can’t or won’t fight.

The Free Syrian Army folded. The U.S.-armed Hazm force in Syria has just collapsed after being routed by the al-Nusra Front. The Iraqi army we trained and equipped fled Mosul and ran all the way to Baghdad.

The Turks could annihilate ISIS in Syria, but they won’t fight. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Arabs have sent zero troops to fight ISIS. A handful of air strikes is it.

Now consider what our old enemies have done and are doing.

Hezbollah and Iran have sustained Bashar Assad’s Syrian army for four years and have ISIS and the alNusra Front on the defensive around Aleppo.

Iran and its allied Shiite militia in Iraq are battling ISIS for Tikrit.

Backed by Hezbollah, Houthi rebels have seized Yemen’s capital and are battling al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. AQAP is the No. 1 terrorist threat to the U.S. homeland.

While Iran and its allies are fighting al-Qaida and ISIS, Turkey and our Arab allies are malingerers at best and collaborators at worst.

difficult.

The Shiites, a religious minority in the Muslim -Pat world Hezbollah, Buchanan Assad’s regime, BaghColumnist dad, Tehran -- see ISIS as a mortal threat and are willing to fight to kill the monster.

Our Sunni allies won’t go out and fight ISIS, because that would make them allies of Iran and the Shiites, whom they fear even more.

Our Sunni friends want America to crush ISIS and al-Qaida, then to crush Hezbollah, Syria and Iran. But why is it in our interest to send U.S. troops back into any of these wars?

Rather than listening to allies who are non-combatants, we should take a hard look at the Mideast.

To whom does the future belong? And with what can we live?

The Republicans want to give a blank check to Obama and any future president to fight ISIS and al-Qaida everywhere and forever. And they want the United States to treat Iran as we should have treated Nazi Germany had Hitler been about to get the bomb.

But if the GOP platform takes the neocon-Netanyahu line that we must not only fight ISIS and al-

Qaida, but also Iran and Syria, the party will imperil its improving chances for 2016.

Americans don’t want another war.

And if John Kerry comes home with a deal on Iran’s nuclear program, Americans are likely to reject a party that is seen as trying to torpedo that deal, when the alternative is war with Iran.

We do not know exactly what is in the Kerry deal, but what has been revealed thus far is no cause for panic or hysteria.

Though Israel has 200 atomic bombs, Iran has not produced a single ounce of uranium enriched to bombgrade 90 percent.

Since talks began, Iran has diluted all of its 20-percent enriched uranium and halted production. Tehran is willing to cut her operating centrifuges by a third.

Inspectors and cameras are now in all of Iran’s nuclear facilities. The heavywater plant at Arak, which would produce plutonium, has been halted. The reprocessing plant that would be needed to extract bombgrade material has not even been started.

U.S. intelligence agencies in 2007 and 2011 declared, with high confidence, that Iran has no active bomb program.

While Bibi Netanyahu says the Ayatollah tweeted that Israel must be “anni-

hilated,” the same Ayatollah issued a fatwa against Iran ever producing nuclear weapons.

We cannot trust Iran, we are told. Correct. Nor should we, as history has proven. But as Meir Dagan, ex-head of Mossad points out, if Iran cheats at any of its facilities, we will know it, and it would take a year before Tehran could produce enough highly enriched uranium even to test a bomb.

Plenty of time to gas up the B-2s.

Another question, too rarely raised, is this: Why would Iran test and build a nuclear bomb, when this would set off a nuclear arms race across the Middle East and put Iran in mortal peril of being smashed by the United States, or by Israel with a preemptive strike?

Right now, Hezbollah dominates Lebanon. Assad is gaining ground in Syria. Iraq, thanks to “W,” is Iran’s ally, not the mortal enemy of Saddam’s day.

The Houthi have Sanaa.

Why build a bomb, why get into a war with a nuclear-armed superpower, when everything’s going your way?

Illinois Rep. Schock planning to resign WASHINGTON — Republican Rep. Aaron Schock of Illinois, dogged about irregularities in his campaign finance and congressional spending accounts, suddenly announced on Tuesday that he would resign his House seat at the end of the month.

Schock has come under heavy scrutiny following revelations of lavish spending, payments to donors for flights on private jets and improperly categorized expenses. On Monday, the AP confirmed that the Office of Congressional Ethics had reached out to Schock’s associates as it apparently began an investigation.

The office is an outside panel that reviews ethics complaints against House members and makes recommendations to the House Ethics Committee.

A person who received a letter from the panel said the OCE was interested in conducting an interview and reviewing any relevant documents. At least two other Schock associates received similar letters, the person said.

The Schock associate asked not to be identified because the ethics panel’s actions are confidential.

The presale estimate is $100,000 to $200,000. The bus comes with copies of the $25,000 check Elvis wrote for the down payment.

He bought the MCI Crusader Bus for his backup singers, the TCB Band. TCB stood for Elvis’ slogan “Taking Care of Business.”

Other highlights include Elvis’ 1971 Stutz Blackhawk car. The luxury two-seater could fetch $400,000 to $600,000.

Swastikas painted in Jewish frat house NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt University officials have launched a hate crime investigation after three swastikas were found spraypainted inside a Jewish fraternity house.

The Tennessean cited a statement that Provost Susan R. Wente sent to students Monday reporting that the graffiti was found Saturday after a party at the Alpha Epsilon Pi house.

Wente condemned use of the symbol, which she said is “associated with hate, anti-Semitism, violence, death, and murder.”

She said anyone with information about the swastikas should call Vanderbilt police.

spread after someone off-campus was mean to an administrator.

Campbell said the administrator’s experience resonated with students, who have been caught being kind so many times the photographs of dozens of teenagers wearing ‘Be Nice’ T-shirts are displayed on a wall near the school’s lobby.

In January, amateur video captured the students’ kindness when the Independence High basketball team crowned Daniel Wood, a student born with Down Syndrome, Coming Home King, which is usually reserved for the most popular students.

Home construction plunges 17 percent WASHINGTON — Construction of new homes plummeted in February, as fierce winter weather froze housing starts in the Northeast and Midwest.

The Commerce Department said Tuesday that builders began construction at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 897,000 homes in February, a steep 17 percent plunge from January. Housing starts slid 56.5 percent in the Northeast and 37 percent in the Midwest, while falling 18.2 percent in the West and 2.5 percent in the South.

The brutal cold spell across the Northeast and Midwest likely caused construction activity to slow last month. Fewer would-be buyers are touring open houses, while consumers seem intent on using their savings at the gasoline pump to pay down debt instead of spending their gains on big ticket items such as housing.

Holder honors slain deputy U.S. marshal MOSS POINT — The deputy U.S. marshal who died in a shootout was a leader who carried on his family’s legacy in law enforcement, Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday at his funeral.

Holder delivered the eulogy for Josie Wells at Wade Baptist Church.

Wells, 27, was killed in a shootout last week near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while he and other law enforcement officers tried to arrest a man suspected of killing two siblings outside a nightclub.

Holder read a message from President Barack Obama and told those attending the service about Wells’ background with a law-enforcement family.

“As a member of the U.S. Marshals Service, he was a young leader of extraordinary vigor and promise. He proudly wore the badge. He knew the risks involved in his work and the importance of his effort to keeping the peace,” Holder said.

Holder was joined at the service by Loretta Lynch, the president’s attorney general nominee, and Marshals Service Director Stacia A. Hylton.

pleading guilty to capital murder plus 30 years on kidnapping and rape counts.

Gray disappeared June 22, 2000, while on her way home from work as a waitress at her family’s restaurant in the Dorsey community. According to court documents, her body was found the next day in Loden’s van.

Loden has previously argued his original defense attorney failed to fully investigate his mental condition and background and gave him poor advice that led him to plead guilty and waive jury sentencing.

In 2013, U.S. District Judge Neal B. Biggers in Oxford, Mississippi, ruled Loden failed to prove his trial attorneys were inadequate.

Biggers sided with the Mississippi Supreme Court’s findings that Loden was given “the basic tools of an adequate defense,” including funding to hire an investigator, a full evaluation by the forensic staff at the Mississippi State Hospital and the services of an independent psychologist.

Prosecutors said Loden was aware of the proceedings that were

taking place in the state court and actively participated in a question-andanswer session during his guilty plea.

Musician pleads no contest to DUI D’IBERVILLE — The former bassist for 3 Doors Down has pleaded no contest to a secondoffense drug-related charge of driving while impaired.

Todd Harrell did not appear in court Monday in D’Iberville. An attorney entered the plea on his behalf. Harrell, 43, is under house arrest in Nashville on a charge of vehicular homicide by intoxication.

A no-contest plea isn’t an admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing.

Harrell was arrested on the second-offense DUI charge Feb. 18, 2014.

Municipal Judge Albert Fountain sentenced Harrell to the maximum one year in prison. The judge suspended six months of the sentence, leaving Harrell to serve six months behind bars. Harrell must also admit himself to a drug and alcohol facility and attend a multiple offenders program.

Court denies appeal of death row inmate JACKSON — A Mississippi man who pleaded guilty in the rape and killing of a waitress in 2000 has been denied a new trial by a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Thomas Loden Jr. had argued his attorneys gave him poor legal advice during his Lee County trial.

Mr. Johnson did not hesitate to risk his own life to break into the home to try to save the elderly man who he believed was inside.

Mr. Johnson’s hand was badly cut in the process of breaking out a window with his fist. The neighbor was not at home at the time of the fire, but Mr. Johnson “saved” the two inside pets from burning in the fire.

His bravery knew no limits as he boldly painted tall water towers, extremely high church steeples, and took deep and dangerous diving assignments that no average person were dare to attempt – such as the contracted diving mission to retrieve a highly deadly tank of Cyanide from the bottom of dangerous waters, which he accomplished with resounding success!

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Magnolia Funeral Home, Corinth. Visitation will take place Thursday, March 19, 2015 at 1 p.m. at Magnolia Funeral Home, followed by a service beginning at 2 p.m. Interment will be at Wheeler Grove Cemetery.

store manager, newspaper editor, restaurateur and professional paint contractor to mention just a few.

Humor and laughter was so important Johnson to “Gene”, as those who knew him well will testify to his ability to tell one joke after another keeping everyone in stitches. In his later years, his main passion and drive was his prized vegetable garden. He was known to plant 300 tomato plants alone.

He truly had the gift of a “green thumb.” Even though Mr. Johnson was not wealthy, he has been described by so many as being such a “giving” man, always willing to share with others in need.

Every year, he lovingly tended his 3-acre garden full of beautiful vegetables and fruits, then unselfishly, he would always “give” it all away.

In his later years, Gene developed a “soft heart” for all of God’s creatures, despite having been an avid hunter and fisherman as a younger man. How it tickled his soul and warmed his heart to feed little birds and squirrels as he tried to coax them into his living room and close enough to pet.

Mr. Johnson loved his two young cats named “Boy” and “Blackie”, but his favorite pet was a German Shepherd dog named “Chico”.

He was a member of Wheeler Grove Baptist Church, having been led to Christ in the early 1970’s by his pastor Brother Rextrall, who he admired and revered with much love and appreciation.

Gene was a silent “hero”, having save countless people from drowning during his career as a Lifeguard on Panama City, Fla. beaches — even having to fight with a large shark and being bitten halfway around his body requiring hundreds of stitches.

He killed the shark with a diving knife and the event was featured and photographed for a local Florida newspaper.

Gene would do anything in a blink of an eye to help another person; in the late 1970’s the

NEW YORK — Global celebrations of the Emerald Isle’s patron saint culminated in parades and celebrations in Dublin, New York and scores of other cities Tuesday.

Here are St. Patrick’s Day events happening worldwide:

New York New York’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade included the first-ever gay contingent marching under its own banner — a group representing gay employees of the broadcaster NBC, a major parade sponsor — but gay activists called the group’s participation an empty gesture.

“We are in the middle of a cultural shift, so we hoped this would be the breakthrough year and we’d be marching up the avenue,” said Brendan Fay, who has been pushing for gay inclusion in the parade since the early 1990s. Fay said his Lavender & Green group applied for a permit.

“We didn’t even get a response.”

Mayor Bill de Blasio stayed away from the parade in protest of organizers’ policy on gays, which allows them to march as individuals but not to march officially as a group under a banner.

The parade up Fifth Avenue stepped off with a jovial Cardinal Timothy Dolan as grand marshal.

“I’m as radiant as the sun, so thanks be to God for the honor and the joy,” said the archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.

Washington, D.C. Donning green in the Oval Office, President Barack Obama promoted U.S-Irish ties as proof of America’s immigrantfriendly tradition.

Obama hosted Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, known in Ireland as the Taoiseach, for their yearly St. Patrick’s Day meeting, then accompanied him to the annual Friends of Ireland luncheon at the Capitol.

Obama defended the executive steps he’s taken to shield millions in the U.S. from deportation, while acknowledging that due to a Republican lawsuit, those actions are “tied up in the courts.”

“We share the view that

one of the great strengths of the U.S. has always been its willingness to welcome new immigrants to our shores,” Obama said. “That’s what’s made us unique and special.”

Boston Travelers at Boston’s Logan International Airport got an early taste of St. Patrick’s Day on Monday when the Dropkick Murphys staged an impromptu performance.

The band, en route to Ireland for a tour, set up in international Terminal E and let it rip.

The band played a rousing rendition of its hit, “I’m Shipping up to Boston,” altering the lyrics slightly to “I’m Shipping up to Dublin.”

Savannah It was chilly in New York and Boston but Tuesday turned out to be a nearly perfect day to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in Savannah, Georgia, where the South’s biggest celebration of the Irish holiday began 191 years ago.

By the time the parade kicked off at 10:15 a.m., thermometers were pushing 79 degrees. Matt Gray, who recently moved from Maryland, came to his first Savannah parade wearing a kilt. “It’s amazing,” he said.

Ireland President Michael Higgins attended Mass at St. Mary’s Pro-Cathedral in Dublin, where Catholic Archbishop Diarmuid Martin blessed sprigs of shamrock in the traditional start to Ireland’s national holiday.

Thousands of Dubliners and tourists lined the nearby route of the Dublin parade, the culmination of a four-day festival featuring music and dance performances, pub crawls, cultural tours and street arcades.

Face-painted dancers, eccentrically themed floats and U.S. marching bands snaked their way down O’Connell Street across the River Liffey to St. Patrick’s Cathedral a mile away.

A man dressed as St. Patrick — but donning sunglasses and dispensing smart-aleck comments to the crowd, along with playful thumps from his club-like crozier — led the way.

She may need to be evaluated by her doctor to make sure she’s OK. If something is wrong with her, it is not the least bit “funny.”

In fact, for your wife to subject your mother to ridicule is hostile.

It’s time to find out what’s at the root of your wife’s antics.

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating my 30-year-old boyfriend, “Jonah,” for a year. He seems to be obsessively addicted to a computer video game he has played for five years.

He plays many hours a day -- first thing in the morning, last thing at night and all his free time in between -- although he willingly goes on outings with me when I ask.

Even when Jonah isn’t on his computer playing the game, he reads the discussion forums online with his mobile device. It’s affecting our relationship.

It also doesn’t help that he recently lost his job.

I don’t like seeing him waste

his time on this and his lack of ambition about the important things in life. What can I do to help Jonah, or is this normal? -GAME OVER IN THE NORTHWEST DEAR GAME OVER: When a hobby interferes with relationships, it is not “normal.” Exactly when did Jonah become “obsessively addicted”? Was he this way when you met him? If this has been going on for the entire year you have been together, your boyfriend may be more comfortable in the cyber world than in this one. However, if this escalated when he lost his job, the video game may be his attempt to cope with depression.

Jonah would be better served by devoting the attention he’s lavishing on the game to finding a job.

If you want to help him, suggest that he spend more of his time in the real world until his life is settled again -- and tell him that if he’s depressed, he should talk about it to his doctor.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Finding the blessing in each circumstance is like hunting for ancient buried treasure. You don’t even know what you’re looking for, but whatever object you strike, it will pay to mentally dust it off and investigate further.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

What you want to happen will require vitality, bravery and honesty. You have it in you, and you’re ready to do the work it takes, mainly because you see the worthiness of realizing this goal.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You can’t airbrush the present, but the past and the future can get as many touchups as you want to put on them. It’s not a bad idea, either. A little glamorization won’t hurt things.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Set down the weapons you use against yourself, as they will not be required today. Neither will the weapons you use on the rest of the world. The events will unfold peaceably if you let them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The socialites and the dilettantes can be good friends to have, but you also need a few people in your mix who are ready to get their hands dirty and go to the deeper level of an interest that will take work. This is what inspires you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

When you’re not given the advantage you would prefer, what you are given instead is the chance for an up-by-thebootstraps story that will show you (and the world) just how resourceful you are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Disinterest can be mighty effective in making others try harder for your attention. That’s why you sometimes choose to deal reluctantly with something or someone you secretly can’t wait to get involved with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Unprepared? It’s to your benefit.

Today you’re the perfect candidate to try a relaxed approach.

Stay ready to use whatever resources show up in the moment (including your charm).

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). The pursuit of pleasure won’t result in pleasure. This is because you don’t yet know what will bring you the most delight -- it’s not the common or conventional thing. Today’s pleasure will come out of service to another.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When the teller has to say “it’s a joke,” it’s not a joke. You’ll see right through lame humor and into the heart of a message.

This is an opportunity for truth, and you’ll use it to set things right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be in a contemplative mood. When you have to speak, you’ll do so with brevity and sincerity. Don’t be surprised if this makes you the most interesting person in the room.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The reason you’re not moving as fast as you want to is because your mind is burdened.

The mental ball and chain strapped to your ankle has physical consequences. You also hold the key, though, so free yourself.

The Fed speaks

Spotlight on Jabil

The Federal Reserve is scheduled to deliver its latest policy update today.

The central bank has been considering increasing the short-term interest rate it controls as early as June. The Fed has kept the rate close to zero for more than six years in an effort to stimulate growth and boost the economy. That stimulus has helped underpin a six-year bull market in stocks.

Wall Street expects that Jabil Circuitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest quarterly results improved from a year ago.

The electronics manufacturing services company is due to report fiscal second-quarter earnings today. Jabil Circuit has benefited from growing revenue in recent quarters.

But the impact of restructuring costs and other expenses have cut into its profits.

Joey Logano’s Xfinity Series losing streak comes to an end at Phoenix Team Penske’s No. 22 Ford Mustang — one of the dominant cars in recent seasons in the Xfinity Series — made its first trip to Victory Lane this season, as Joey Logano led all but 24 laps of last Saturday’s Axalta 200 at Phoenix International Raceway.

It ended an Xfinity losing streak for Logano that stretched back to September 2013 at Dover International Speedway.

The victory was also a relief for his crew chief, Greg Erwin, who took over the No. 22 at the start of the season and was faced with trying to duplicate the success of his predecessor, Jeremy Bullins, who led the team to six wins in 2014 and the series’ owner championship. Bullins now works in the Sprint Cup Series for the Wood Brothers as crew chief for Ryan Blaney.

In his winner’s interview, Erwin, who worked in the Cup Series for years before shifting over to the Xfinity Series, acknowledged that he relied on the work Bullins did in years past.

“We came [to Phoenix] working a lot off of everything that this team has been able to generate over the last couple of years,” Erwin said. “I feel like we have been knocking on the door the first couple of races, and it was just a matter of time until we stepped through.”

Logano said he was relieved to be back in the win column.

“I have been driving this car for a few years, but haven’t got Discount Tire in Victory Lane with me driving, so that is a big deal,” he said.

Axalta 200 winner Joey Logano gives the crowd at Phoenix a victory burnout.

Matt Kenseth finished second, ahead of Kevin Harvick and Austin Dillon, giving double-dipping Sprint Cup drivers a sweep of the top four finishing positions. Ty Dillon finished sixth and holds the series points lead by 14 markers over 14th-finishing Chris Buescher.

Jeff Gordon, who got off to a bad start in his final full-time Sprint Cup season by being in wrecks in the first three races, finally had a weekend in which little went wrong.

He finished ninth at Phoenix — his first top10 of the season.

“It was a really great team effort,” he said. “A nice job in the pits. We had a decent race car, and we showed that as we got track position.

It certainly wasn’t easy, but I’m real proud of everybody.”

Gordon’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. was on the other end of the finishing order. After starting the season with finishes of third at Daytona and Atlanta and fourth at Las Vegas, he wound up 43rd at Phoenix after blowing the right-rear tire on his No. 88 Chevrolet and slamming into the outside wall. It was just his second last-place finish since 2007, and it dropped him from second to sixth in the points standings.

“The car was really, really loose and just wore the right rear tire out,” he said, adding that his tire problems weren’t due to any shortcomings on the part of Goodyear, the exclusive supplier of tires for NASCAR’s top three divisions.

Although Tony Stewart has not returned to the driver’s seat of a sprint car since last summer, he’s still a major player in the sprint car world as a team owner, and now as the new owner of the All Star Circuit of Champions.

Stewart and the circuit had been working on the details for weeks, but finally closed the deal last Thursday.

“First off, I’m ecstatic that we got the paperwork signed and we own the All Star Circuit of Champions,” Stewart said. “Further, I’m excited to have Don [Grabey] join the team. He is a great addition and will have the respect of the competitors and be an important piece of the long-term success of the series. I can’t wait to get the points season started in two weeks.”

Grabey, 53, has worked with sprint car racing’s premier series, the World of Outlaws, since 1997, first as a technical inspector, and since 2007 as the competition director. He will be the new series director of the All Star series, which runs its first points race on March 28 at Atomic Speedway in Waverly, Ohio.

It’s good for Stewart that his off-track activities are working out in his favor, because it’s not the case with his job driving the No. 14 Chevrolet on the Sprint Cup circuit. His season continued on a negative path, as he wrecked at Phoenix, leaving him with a 39th-place finish. He’s now 36th in the Sprint Cup standings, with a best finish this season of 30th, at Atlanta.

Stewart has complained that the new rules package, with less horsepower, does not suit his driving style, but his team co-owner Gene Haas said he believes Stewart eventually will adapt.

Stewart was running good enough at Phoenix to finish in the top 10 before two late-race spins doomed him.

“Tony is a champion,” Haas said in a media session at Phoenix. “He’s used to driving 800horsepower alcohol sprint cars in mud … and whatever else is out there. He has a tremendous amount of talent to adapting to things quickly.

“I think Tony will be back. He’s a very adaptable driver. He didn’t get to this level by chance.”

Tony Stewart finished 39th in last Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Phoenix.

NUMERICALLY SPEAKING

International Motorsports Hall of Fame honors all forms of motorsports With the opening of the “official” NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina, back in 2010, and the upcoming move of the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America from its current home in Detroit to Daytona Beach, Florida, the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in Talladega, Alabama, has lost the prominence it once enjoyed.

The Hall in Talladega, formed in 1982, was never intended to be strictly a NASCAR hall. Its stated mission is to honor people across all forms of motorsports and across the globe.

Its 144 members include Formula One names like Juan Manuel Fangio and Enzo Ferrari, and others like Art Arfons, who focused on setting land speed records and tractor pulling.

But over the years, the Hall voters seem to have strayed from the original mission, and voted in more and more inductees from the NASCAR world.

Kimberly Rupp’s mission is to return the More troubling for those who are passionate about the Talladega Hall is the fact that there were no inductions held International Motorsports Hall of Fame to its former glory. in 2010, so as not to take away from the inaugural class of the NASCAR Hall in Charlotte, and no inductions were held last year, either. Whether there will be a class inducted this year remains to be seen.

One longtime supporter of the Hall is out to change that.

Kimberly Rupp, who grew up in Heflin, Alabama, and now lives in Douglasville, Georgia, is on a mission to return the Hall to its former glory.

Rupp, who has been a volunteer at the Hall for 21 years, is now vice president of public relations for the foundation that supports the Hall, which is located on the grounds of Talladega Superspeedway. Her immediate goals are to get the Hall active on social media, to accept donations online, to organize fund-raising galas and other events, and energize a corps of volunteers who have been discouraged by the recent lean times for the Hall.

“There’s nowhere to go but up,” Rupp said. “We need to get back to being on an international platform, because we represent the legacy of all the members of the Hall of Fame.”

Rupp believes there are companies that support racing on a worldwide basis that can be approached as potential sponsors, and going international wouldn’t put the Talladega Hall in direct competition on the fundraising front with the other American and NASCAR halls. And she figures the best way to start boosting attendance is to go after the fans already on the grounds for the track’s two NASCAR weekends each year.

“If we could just get 10 percent of them to visit the Hall, it would go a long way to making our budget,” Rupp said. “It’s going to take some advertising, some promotions, and we’re going to have to have some events there, but it can be done.

“I’m energized.”

like there’s good communication between he and Rodney and the engineer and the whole team,” McMurray said.

That’s the same sentiment expressed

by Harvick in the media sessions after each race. Sunday at Phoenix was no different.

“I’m just really proud of everybody at Stewart-Haas for everything they do; really proud of Rodney and these guys on this team,” Harvick said. “I feel like we get better as we go through different situations.”

Harvick, who started on the pole and led 224 of 312 laps in winning the CampingWorld.com 500, almost had to take a back seat to McMurray at Phoenix. McMurray got the jump on him CampingWorld.com 500 winner Kevin Harvick said the comparison to Richard on a late-race restart, but didn’t move Petty gave him “chills.” in front of him immediately off of Turn Two, and that allowed Harvick to motor by on the outside and run away to the checkered flag.

Gordon scores first top-10 finish of the season

Gregg Ellman/HHP for Chevy Racing

There comes a time in any string of success when the historical comparisons start to hit home. It’s happening now for Kevin Harvick and his No. 4 Chevrolet team at Stewart-Haas Racing.

Harvick scored yet another runaway win at Phoenix International Raceway in the CampingWorld.com 500. It was his fourth straight Sprint Cup victory at that track, and it’s the first time anyone has won four straight at a track since Jimmie Johnson did it at Charlotte in 2004-05. And it was Harvick’s seventh straight finish of first or second place, dating back to the final three races of 2014. That streak ties him with NASCAR’s all-time win leader, Richard Petty, who did it back in 1975. He also now has seven Cup wins at Phoenix — more than any other driver.

“The Richard Petty part — that gives me chills,” Harvick said upon hearing those stats read to him during the winner’s interview at Phoenix.

Before that, another noteworthy comparison came up — this one from the race’s runner-up, Jamie McMurray.

He said Harvick’s recent dominance reminds him of some of Jeff Gordon’s best years.

“I remember the days when Jeff Gordon won 13 races in a year in ’98,” McMurray said. “I remember watching every week. It was incredible.”

McMurray said what Harvick and his Rodney Childers-led team is doing may be even more impressive.

“I think our sport is much tougher now to do that in,” he said. “I remember when the 4 car [Harvick’s] unloaded at the Charlotte test last year in January — first lap on the track, he was literally the fastest car. For a year it’s been that way.”

McMurray, like others in the sport, believe Harvick and Childers could have won more races last year with some better luck at times. And he said their success is due in large part to the working relationship between driver and crew chief and the rest of the race team.

“When I listen to Kevin talk, it seems

Ole Miss rallies to top BYU

BY JOE KAY AP Sports Writer

DAYTON, Ohio — Stefan Moody scored 26 points and led Mississippi’s comeback from a 17-point halftime deficit to a 94-90 victory over BYU on Tuesday night in the NCAA Tournament’s First Four.

The Rebels (21-12) trailed until Moody led a 15-2 run midway through the second half. He hit a late 3-pointer that helped finish off the tournament’s first big comeback.

Ole Miss goes to Jacksonville, Florida, to play sixthseeded Xavier on Thursday afternoon in the East Region.

“I thought we were so tentative,” coach Andy Kennedy said. “We wanted to impose our will to start the second

half. We chopped it in half pretty quickly, our guys start believing, the ball started going in, and good things happen.”

BYU (25-10) pulled off the biggest comeback in NCAA Tournament history in Dayton three years ago, rallying from a 25-point first-half deficit to a 78-72 win over Iona. This time, the Cougars couldn’t hold the big lead.

Tyler Haws, BYU’s all-time leading scorer, had 33 points, going 13 of 23 from the field.

He missed a 3-pointer as BYU tried to catch up in the closing seconds. It was the first time this season that the Cougars lost after leading by 17 points.

Haws had 19 points in the first half, helping the Cougars

pull ahead 49-32. Moody got the Rebels’ guard-driven offense going midway through the second half, when three BYU players picked up their fourth fouls and things opened up near the basket.

M.J. Rhett added 20 points for Ole Miss, including a pair of three-point plays and a dunk during the go-ahead run.

Chase Fischer put the Cougars ahead 8-0, making a reverse layup and a pair of 3s.

Ole Miss missed 15 of its first 19 shots overall as BYU took control. Fischer finished with 23 points, going 6 of 12 from beyond the arc.

Tip Ins: Ole Miss: The Rebels held down guard Kyle Collin-

sworth, who set an NCAA record with six triple-doubles this season. Collinsworth didn’t score in the first half, missing all four of his shots, and finished with eight points, seven rebounds and 10 assists.

BYU: Haws had his fifth 30-point game of the season.

He finishes with 2,720 points.

Up Next: BYU: The Cougars lose Haws and senior forward Josh Sharp.

Ole Miss: Kennedy gets to prepare for another game against Xavier, an old nemesis. Kennedy was an assistant coach for four years at Cincinnati and interim coach for one season. Xavier and Cincinnati play their crosstown rivalry game each season.

Louisiana Tech advances in NIT Associated Press

RUSTON, La. — Raheem Appleby scored 22 points and Jacobi Boykins added 18 and Louisiana Tech beat Central Michigan 89-79 in the opening round of the NIT on Tuesday night.

Appleby led Louisiana Tech (26-8) to its third consecutive NIT opening round win. The senior trio of Appleby, Michale Kyser and Kenneth Smith won their 100th game, the most of any senior class in school history.

Central Michigan (23-9), which has never won a game in the NIT, made its first postseason appearance since 2003. The Chippewas made 6 of 23 3-pointers (43.8 percent) after averaging 10.2 per game.

Louisiana Tech won its 30th straight game at home in front of the school’s eighth-largest all-time crowd of 6,904.

Central Michigan was led by Chris Fowler’s 21 points while Braylon Rayson added 20 and Rayshawn Simmons had 18.

Lawyer: Conflicts with rulings on pay Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — A landmark ruling that opened the door for college football and basketball players to be paid went against all previous court rulings, including a 1984 U.S. Supreme Court decision, an attorney for the NCAA told a federal appeals court Tuesday.

Lawyer Seth Waxman told a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that courts never previously held that rules meant to protect the amateur status of student athletes violated antitrust law.

He cited the 1984 Supreme Court ruling that stated athletes must not be

paid in order to preserve the character and quality of college athletics.

Plaintiffs’ attorney Michael Hausfeld countered that the Supreme Court comment was made in passing and was not integral to the outcome of that case.

The ruling “does not establish an absolute, ab-

stract, blanket, mechanical immunity from antitrust accountability for any NCAA rule of practice,” Hausfeld said.

He also said the NCAA has not consistently defined what it means to be an amateur athlete, calling into Please see RULINGS | 11A

Portis emerges as star as tourney arrives Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -—Bobby Portis was in college before he was finally comfortable enough to tell his mother why he didn’t want to be at home as a teenager.

Much like his basketball game, the wait was worth it for Arkansas’ brightest star, the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year who still plays and treats others like the overlooked ninth-grader he once was. The young kid who wept when he described feeling unwanted by his mother’s boyfriend, the teen who was mentored by none other than former Arkansas great Corliss Williamson, has led the Razorbacks back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008.

The Hogs (26-8) will play 12th-seeded Wofford (28-6) on Thursday, and they will do so anchored by the 6-foot-11 Portis.

Don’t let his roots as a high school All-American fool you.

Unlike some of his heralded prep counterparts, Portis looks you straight in the eye while you’re talking. He listens before he answers, and while he’s still more comfortable in a one-on-one setting rather than being the focal point of a large group, he’s adjusted and improved.

What hasn’t changed for the forward are the memories of who he was before the nineinch growth spurt over three years in high school — one that left him initially “clumsy” before he finally grew into his size 18 shoes.

Those memories are of an overshadowed and often-times passive teenager, one who wasn’t yet fully sure of his own ability.

“Bobby’s story is a great story,” Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said. “It’s one of perseverance, a guy of belief and confidence.”

Confidence was in short supply for Portis at times last season, a frustrating freshman

year for the Little Rock kid who many thought would lead an Arkansas program that had fallen on hard times back to national prominence.

He was timid, deferring to older teammates while trying to show he could fit in and do whatever was asked of him.

Only what he didn’t yet realize was how badly Anderson needed him to lead, not follow.

Portis averaged 12.3 points per game last season and earned all the expected All-SEC freshman honors. And while the Razorbacks did reach the postseason for the first time since 2008, their two-round stay in the NIT wasn’t exactly what their fans had hoped for when Portis committed to play for his home-state school following his sophomore year in high school.

What they didn’t know was how disappointed Portis was — in himself.

“I didn’t feel like I was the Bobby Portis I was supposed to be,” Portis said.

Away from home for the first time, Portis spent many nights in Fayetteville last season reflecting on his performance as well as the often-times troubled path that had led him to where he was. He talked repeatedly on the phone with his mother, Tina Edwards, about how he could improve his play on the court.

They talked about life, as well. They talked about how Portis’ three younger brothers — Jarod, Jared and Jamall — were handling life apart from their older brother, as well as how Edwards was holding up in her role as a single mother supporting her family by delivering bread across Pulaski County.

He cried. So did she, especially following the conversation when Portis told his “best friend” how he felt unwanted by that boyfriend. That, he said, was why he spent so much time away from home Please see PORTIS | 11A

question its contention that amateur athletes must not be paid to play their sports.

The NCAA is challenging U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilkenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision last year to allow players in the top division of college football and in Division I menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball to be paid at least $5,000 a year for rights to their names, images and likenesses. The money would be put in a trust fund and given to them when they leave school.

The NCAA was accused of violating antitrust laws by conspiring to block the athletes from getting a share of revenues generated by the use of their images.

The decision came in a lawsuit filed by UCLA basketball star Ed Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bannon and 19 others. It is scheduled to take effect in July 2016.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bannon was in court on Tuesday to hear the arguments in the appeal.

Judge Jay Bybee said Wilkenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $5,000 cap appeared to have crossed the line restricting college athletes from being paid to play.

Chief Judge Sidney Thomas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who noted the court was hearing the case as the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament was beginning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; questioned how the $5,000 cap differed from the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy of allowing scholarships covering an athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costs of attending school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a situation in which a judge had said the athletes must be allowed to share in the specific commercial revenue stream that derives from their participation in sports,â&#x20AC;?

Waxman responded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that is not what amateurs do.â&#x20AC;?

The 9th Circuit is not under any set deadline to rule. The NCAA has previously said it would take the issue all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The respect and admiration is mutual, and Williamsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long hours spent with Portis while growing up are a key reason why the former Arkansas great is part of Portisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inner-circle.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a circle Portis has kept closed since his emergence as one of the best players in the country his final two years of high school. He even turned down an opportunity to reconnect with his father after he showed

up in Little Rock following a standout performance in the McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All-American game.

Portis is asked about his NBA future â&#x20AC;&#x153;every day.â&#x20AC;?

Whether Portis decides to leave for the NBA following the season is something heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll consider only after Arkansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; NCAA Tournament run, one he hopes lasts as long as possible.

Portis said he finally stood up to the man as a 15-year-old, stopping him from hitting his mother during one awful night.

Edwards and Portisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; father separated while he was still in diapers. And while Portis did spend some time with his dad in Alabama during one summer in elementary school, he was sent home early because his step-mom said they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;having too much fun.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hurt, but I never told my mom because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want her to find out,â&#x20AC;? Portis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because she would have gone crazy on him, protecting her kid.â&#x20AC;?

Portis, however, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t without a male influence while growing up.

Crape myrtle bark scale has arrived in state It seems that crape myrtles face a lot of dangers this time of year.

Many still face â&#x20AC;&#x153;crape murder,â&#x20AC;? or being butchered by having their branches improperly Gary cut off at Bachman the same place evSouthern ery year. A Gardening novice gardener sees a so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;professionalâ&#x20AC;? landscape company do it, so they think they need to cut their own crape myrtles in the same way.

In horticulture CSI terms, this is a classic copycat crime.

But this column is about another threat to our beautiful crape myrtles.

Crape myrtle bark scale, or CMBS, is a relatively new insect pest that was first reported north of Dallas, Texas, in 2004.

Since then, it has spread east and has been reported in Shreveport and Houma, Louisiana. It also

The crape myrtle bark scale is a relatively new insect pest that was first reported in Texas in 2004 and was spotted March 15, 2015, in Mississippi. has spread north and has been reported in Germantown, Tennessee, and Little Rock, Arkansas. Last year, there were infestations reported in the Mobile, Alabama area.

I had been looking all around south Mississippi for CMBS for a year without any success, not that I really wanted to be successful in my quest. But

that quest came to an end on March 15.

CMBS appear as white or gray encrusted waxy spots around pruning cuts and in the crotches of branches. Underneath the waxy coating, the scale appear to be pink; in fact, large specimens ooze a pink liquid when squished. There will also be numerous small pink eggs and crawlers ready for further expansion.

The CMBS populations can reach prodigious numbers.

But perhaps the first sign of an infestation you might see is what alerted me to it. It is fairly easy to spot the presence of scaly, flaking patches of black, sooty mold on the tree itself. This mold just looks bad but is not harmful.

CMBS exude a sticky â&#x20AC;&#x153;honeydewâ&#x20AC;? that rains down on the branches and any other surface below. And when I say it rains down, I mean it. A

Crape myrtle bark scale appear as white or gray encrusted waxy spots around pruning cuts and in the crotches of branches. Underneath the waxy coating, the scale appear to be pink. colleague from the University of Arkansas was placing CMBS monitoring devices under an infested Natchez crape myrtle and described the feeling as being out in a fine misting rain. Ewwwwww!

So the big question is, what can we do to control this pest? There are management strategies being developed, but for now, here are some suggestions.

For heavy infestations, use a soft brush to scrub reachable trunk and limbs and remove females, crawlers and eggs, improving insecticide ef-

fectiveness. This process also removes a lot of the black, sooty mold.

Apply a systemic insecticide to the plant root zone during May and July. Systemic insecticides include dinotefuran (such as Greenlight Tree and Shrub Insect Control with Safari) and imidacloprid (such as Bayer Advanced Garden Tree and Shrub Insect Control). Allow several weeks for these insecticides to work because the chemicals must spread through the plant.

I want to ask home gardeners and landscape professionals in Missis-

sippi to help me track crape myrtle bark scale.

If you see infestations, please send clear pictures and location information via email to gary.bachman@msstate.edu.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll share this information with the Mississippi State University Extension Service offices in all 82 counties so we can make the best control recommendations.

Wife needs advice about going to work WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I married “Oliver” 20 year ago, and we moved to a small Midwestern city where Oliver was offered a well-paying job. I’m impressed with my husband’s “staying power” and am proud that he’s been able to keep this job through thick and thin.

However, his pay leveled out a few years ago, and he hasn’t had an appreciable raise in many years. Our cost of living, however, has increased.

This is not an area where I can easily find a job in my chosen career. I’ve been fortunate to be able to work from home while raising our children, but the oldest will be out of high school in June. I’ve been unhappy here the entire time we’ve lived in this town. It’s a declining area, there is no job growth, and travel can be impossible in the winter because of the snow and ice.

I’ve tried to “grow where I’m planted,” getting involved in the community and the school, but I’m dying on the vine. I’ve had enough. I want to move to a more vibrant area, a better climate, and a place where I have more employment options. Oliver, however, has no interest in relocating.

I want to be out of here within five years, when our youngest child finishes high school. But Oliver is a homebody and doesn’t like change. We can’t afford a

Annie’s Mailbox second home or an annual winter vacation. If Oliver won’t go, I’m considering leaving on my own. I’ve put in my time, and he’s had his career. When is it my turn?

— Stuck in the Midwest Dear Stuck: You have five years to get Oliver ready for a change of scenery. Start to research areas that appeal to you and that also offer job opportunities for Oliver. Look into housing prices, cost of living and community organizations.

Try to take at least one vacation in the area to see whether it meets your expectations.

Then inform Oliver that this is where you would like to move and when. Bring it up every few months, showing him your “new neighborhood” and the things you will do there. Make it familiar to him, and he will be more amenable to going there.

Dear Annie: I am a greatgrandmother who left an abusive husband in the 1960s. My children were sexually abused by him.

We have all been in counseling. I have uncovered

intergenerational abuse in both my family and my ex-husband’s family. Domestic abuse has also been found in the homes of my children and grandchildren.

I am presently doing all I can to protect the greatgrandchildren. My ex-husband is planning a trip to see the family, and I have warned all the parents not to leave their children alone with him and explained why. He may be 80, but he is still capable of offending.

As loving grandparents, we must do all we can to protect the children. The healing is long-term. — BC Canada Dear Canada: Your family seems to have had some major issues with abuse that have persisted through the generations. We are glad all of you have had counseling. You also are wise to protect the great-grandchildren from your ex-husband, even though such information is often difficult to convey and believe.
