Business district plan open for input

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen is allowing a little more time for the public to get familiar with proposed changes to Central Business District zoning.

A public hearing on proposed changes to the C-3 zoning this week brought several questions to the board, and aldermen agreed to continue the public hearing to the April 7 meeting.

The review of the district’s provisions has “been an effort

to bring that portion of the zoning ordinances more in tune with current times,” said City Attorney Wendell Trapp.

The area contained gas stations when Fillmore Street was part of the Highway 45 route, and that is no longer deemed an

appropriate use in a downtown known for its historic buildings.

The proposed changes include a number of additions and deletions to the permitted uses in the district. Car washes, for example, are out, but auto detailing shops are allowed.

Motels are out, but hotels are allowed.

Questions that came before the board included inquiries about appearance requirements, the naming of the disPlease see DISTRICT | 2A

Rotate Black rotating back College Board gives OK with ‘perfect size casino’ plan to student activity fees Associated Press

GULFPORT — The rocky start for the proposed Hemingway Resort and Casino at the Gulfport Harbor is all in the past, said company CEO John Paulsen.

Paulsen said the project is alive and progressing.

Since missing the April 1 deadline to show it had the financial backing to build the casino resort, Paulsen tells The Sun Herald that Rotate Black has restructured the company and met the Mississippi Gaming Commission’s guidelines.

The project that originally was approved at $112 million now is $170 million, according to the annual 10-K report Rotate Black filed Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The report says the company expects the

completion and grand opening of the project in the fall of 2016.

On Nov. 12, Rotate Black signed an agreement with an unnamed financial adviser to seek funding for the casino.

“We’ve got a good, strong financial partner,” Paulsen said Wednesday.

Financing of the resort is contemplated to include $115 million of senior secured notes, $25 million of new Rotate Black Inc. equity and $5 million of equity invested to date, the SEC report said.

Rotate Black paid fees to amend and extend the leases at the port after missing the development deadline, the company said, and recently secured financing through promissory notes and loans to continue to work toward getting the casino built.

To meet state requirements, Paulsen said the resort will be built with 53,000 square feet of casino space and have 1,388 slot machines and 33 table games. It also will have a 300-room hotel with 40 suites and 260 traditional rooms, a 120-seat steak house, a 240-seat buffet, a casual-dining cafe and a Hemingway Bar with outdoor seating and views of the marina. A parking garage and parking lot will accommodate 1,200 vehicles.

Paulsen said filing the annual report, which was due in June, is one of the first pieces to getting the casino project ready to send back to the Gaming Commission. The next step is getting the financial commitments ready and Paulsen said he never felt better that all the pieces are falling into place.

Compromise keeps academic standards Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey said Thursday that an agreement has been reached on legislation that would keep the state’s current academic standards intact — for now — despite efforts to repeal them.

The Blountville Republican told reporters that the agreement was made this week.

“Everybody seems to be happy and signed off on it,” Ramsey said.

The state’s standards

include the contentious Common Core standards for English and math intended to make students more competitive.

Common Core has been a lightning rod in Tennessee and nationally.

Conservative critics argue that the standards represent federal intrusion into state matters, while those on the left say they impose too many requirements on teachers.

The standards have been adopted by 44

states, but growing criticism led lawmakers in more than two dozen states to propose either delaying or revoking Common Core last year.

Common Core opponents have said they don’t have a problem with higher academic standards, they just want them to be created at the state level.

Ramsey issued a statement later Thursday stating the standards could change during the review process to reflect that sentiment.

prizes and other nifty items.

“In addition to the balloon-pop, a photo booth will be set up with an antique couch, 1920s cigarette holders and other flapper-esque photo props,” said Decorations Chairwoman Sara Beth Green. “The ladies will be given pearl necklaces to wear.”

Three-foot black and gold balloons and lanterns will hang from different areas in the venue

while gold votives and triangular photo frames filled with pictures of past JA members will adorn the numbered patron tables.

“Our heavy Waldorf Astoria type hors d’ oeuvres tables will be accented with golden table runners and other glimmering embellishments,” said Green.

Many of the decorations purchased at Atlanta Market by Charity Ball Chairwoman Jamie Jones will be available for purchase during the event.

“We have some beautiful items for sale that would make wonderful holiday decorations,” said Jones.

Lined with organza curtains donated by the new Corinth Flower shop, the stage will also feature a hand-made Hollywood star-burst podium where the presenter will stand.

“We wanted to make this year’s ball whimsical and exciting for all involved,” said Green.

“It’s going to be an extravagant night.”

JACKSON — Four of Mississippi’s public universities will begin charging student activity fees this fall, moving further away from the state’s previous policy of tuition including all charges.

The College Board on Thursday approved plans for Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi to add $5-per-semester fees, and for Jackson State University and Mississippi Valley State University to add $10-per-semester fees.

Trustees first approved the fees in February, but had to vote again under system policies.

Last month, the board gave final approval for Delta State University to begin charging a $50-persemester facilities fee,

joining the Mississippi University for Women, Ole Miss and MSU. Facility fees began in fall 2013, changing the policy of generally charging one price for all tuition and fees.

The universities say student groups need more money for programs, and students at MSU, Valley and JSU have voted in referenda to support the fees.

“I think this wonderful,” said trustee Christine Pickering of Biloxi. “We’re giving them a little bit of support, financially, to do what they need to do.”

The fees are projected to generate an additional $155,000 a year at MSU, an additional $201,000 a year at Ole Miss, an additional $190,000 a year at JSU and an additional $44,000 a year at Valley.

In each case, the money will be used to increase funding, not replace money currently being spent.

Trustee Bob Owens of Jackson, though, said he had concerns about the board’s continued drift away from its policy of one price that includes tuition and fees.

“The reason we wanted that policy is we wanted to be able to have parents compare prices easily,” he said.

Owens abstained from the vote. All other trustees voted in favor.

Rising college costs at Mississippi’s eight public universities have far outstripped increases in family income in recent years.

Additional universities are expected to add facilities and student fees in the near future, officials have said.

Bar co-owner to plead guilty in conspiracy Associated Press

GULFPORT — The coowner of a Gulfport bar is scheduled to plead guilty March 31 to federal drug conspiracy charges, federal court records show.

Two others indicted in the same scheme are scheduled for trial in June in U.S. District Court in Gulfport.

Records show Julie Michelle Glass, 31, has filed notice of her change of plea.

Glass; Carlos Miller, 24;

and Randall Sheffield, 33, were arrested in January on a federal criminal complaint of conspiring to sell cocaine and the high-grade China White heroin out of the Ice Daiquiri Lounge in Gulfport.

Glass and Miller own the bar.

A grand jury indicted Glass and Sheffield on one count each of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, conspiracy to commit a violent crime and possession of a fire-

arm in furtherance of a drug trafficking scheme, and two counts each of conspiracy to possess a controlled substance.

Sheffield was indicted on an additional count of unlawful transport of a firearm, and Miller on one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and two counts of conspiracy to possess a controlled substance.

The three remain jailed in Pearl River County without bond.

Today in History

Ginger’s hosts special fashion show

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Today is Friday, March 20, the 79th day of 2015. There are 286 days left in the year.

Spring arrives at 6:45 p.m. EDT.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 20, 1995, in Tokyo, 12 people were killed, more than 5,500 others sickened when packages containing the deadly chemical sarin were leaked on five separate subway trains

by Aum Shinrikyo cult members.

On this date: In 1852, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s influential novel about slavery, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” was first published in book form after being serialized.

In 1899, Martha M. Place of Brooklyn, New York, became the first woman to be executed in the electric chair as she was put to death at Sing Sing for the murder of her stepdaughter.

In 1922, the decommissioned USS Jupiter, converted into the first U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, was recommissioned as the USS Langley.

In 1933, the state of Florida electrocuted Giuseppe Zangara for shooting to death Chicago Mayor Anton J. Cermak at a Miami event attended by President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, the presumed target, the previous February.

In 1952, the U.S. Senate ratified, 66-10, the Treaty of Peace with Japan.

In 1969, John Lennon married Yoko Ono in Gibraltar.

In 1974, Britain’s Princess Anne was the target of a kidnapping attempt near Buckingham Palace; the would-be abductor, Ian Ball, was captured. Former NBC News anchorman Chet Huntley, 62, died at his Montana home.

In 1985, Libby Riddles of Teller, Alaska, became the first woman to win the Iditarod Trail Dog Sled Race.

In 1990, singer Gloria Estefan suffered a broken back when a truck rear-ended her tour bus on a snow-covered highway in Pennsylvania.

(Surgeons implanted titanium rods to stabilize her spine, and Estefan was able to make a comeback after months of intensive physical therapy.)

In 1999, Bertrand Piccard of Switzerland and Brian Jones of Britain became the first aviators to fly a hot-air balloon around the world nonstop as they floated over Mauritania past longitude 9 degrees west.

(They landed safely in Egypt the next day.)

Starkville teen poet to represent state University Associated Press

JACKSON — For the second year in a row, Joy Carino, a junior at the Mississippi School for Math and Science, will represent Mississippi in a national poetry recitation contest in April.

Carino, of Starkville, was one of nine high school students who recited poems Monday at Mississippi Public Broadcasting in Poetry Out Loud. POL is a contest developed in 2005 by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation. The program in Mississippi is administered through the Mississippi Arts Commission.

Carino won $200 and a trip with a chaperone to Washington, D.C., for the finals April 28-29.

Getting to the statewide contest was no easy path for the students.

Initially, students choose two poems that speak to them from a preapproved list of 600 poems.

Then, they must memorize and develop an understanding of the poems in order to present them.

The judges make their decisions on those performances based on physical presence, articulation, dramatic appropriateness, evidence of understanding and complexity.

There is a lot of room for creativity.

“This is not a competition, this is a contest,” said Ken Bolinsky, state coordinator for the event.

“If it were a competition, all of the students would be memorizing the same poem, and the judges would be deciding who did it best.”

Instead, judges decide which

poem interpretation is best based on criteria scored during the event.

Charlotte Smelser of the Mississippi Arts Commission said that the beauty of Poetry Out Loud is that it creates an appreciation and love of poetry that extends beyond the competition itself.

“It awakens them to the power of poetry, words and language,” she said. “And anytime you have to speak in front of a group, you’re developing presentation skills and learning to be calm under pressure.”

Smelser said she’s always impressed with the presentations.

“Not only are they reciting the words. They bring you into the experience. Literally, you are transported,” she said.

Benjamin Morris, Hattiesburg poet, author and one of six judges, said all of the students did well.

“We’ve had one of the highest level of contestants that we’ve had in years. Everyone was very strong,” he said.

Morris said that Carino stood out once again for several reasons.

“She has a good sense of pacing in her delivery,” he said. “She

articulates beautifully. All her words come across very clear. She also chooses poems that are fit for her.”

Morris said choosing the right poem can make or break a contestant.

Carino said she liked the sarcasm and humor in “To David, About His Education” by Howard Nemerov and so chose it as one of her three poems. The poem pokes a little fun at the rigors of scholastic life.

“I feel it,” Carino said.

It was a challenge to fit the contest into her busy studies at MSMS, but Carino said poetry is fun and liberating.

“You can express whatever you want,” she said. “You never know what you’re gonna get.”

Another contestant, Andre Vincent of Ridgeland High School, called poetry a great thing, even better than prose.

“It’s getting all those emotions that you couldn’t express in regular speaking, you just say it in poem,” he said.

The televised contest was hosted for the 10th year by Mississippi Public Broadcasting.

‘Tennessee Whiskey’ law exemption raises flags Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — An embattled state law establishing legal requirements to market spirits as “Tennessee Whiskey” could run afoul of both the U.S. and state constitutions for carving out a special exemption for a single distiller, according to a new legal opinion from state Attorney General Herbert Slatery.

The state Legislature in 2013 excluded Kelso-based Pritchard’s Distillery from the law passed at the behest of Jack Daniel’s that for the first time established rules for which products could label themselves as Tennessee whiskey.

Those rules codified what is known as the “Lincoln County Process,” which requires whiskey to be filtered through maple charcoal before being aged in unused charred barrels made out of oak.

The filtering requirement makes up the principal difference from making bourbon.

Distiller Phil Pritchard gained his exemption after arguing that

presidents’ contracts extended

he shouldn’t have to follow a charcoal filtering requirement because it does not follow the technique used by his grandfather.

“If I subscribe to this rule that Jack Daniel’s has imposed on us all, then I would then be paying homage to Jack Daniel’s and not paying homage to my grandfather Benjamin Pritchard,” he said in a phone interview Wednesday.

Pritchard has since opened another distillery in Nashville, creating the odd scenario in which his product made at the original location is grandfathered out of the Tennessee whiskey law, while spirits flowing from the new still are not.

“The fact that I can’t make whiskey according to my grandfather’s techniques at the Nashville location is a bit of a slap in the face to me,” Pritchard said.

Slatery said in the legal opinion that Pritchard’s exemption could run afoul of the equal protection provisions of the U.S. Constitution and the Tennessee Consti-

tution’s ban on suspending “any general law for the benefit of any particular individual.”

The state law exempts Pritchard’s by saying it does not apply to distilleries established between certain dates that match when Phil Pritchard began doing business.

“There is no discernable reason to distinguish one distillery from other existing distilleries on this basis, especially since the exemption at issue is purportedly the one that distinguishes Tennessee Whiskey from bourbon,” Slatery said.

The fight over the Tennessee whiskey law has drawn in global liquor giants Diageo PLC, which owns George Dickel, and Louisville, Kentucky-based BrownForman Corp.

Several craft distilleries have lined up behind Jack Daniel’s to support the new law, but the makers of Dickel, Pritchard’s and Full Throttle have been vocal opponents of having to conform to the new law.

JACKSON — The College Board has granted four-year contract extensions to three university presidents.

According to board minutes, members granted the extensions in a closed meeting on Feb. 17 to Jackson State University’s Carolyn Meyers, Delta State University’s Bill LaForge, and the University of Southern Mississippi’s Rodney Bennett.

All three contract extensions became effective March 1, with the campus leaders continuing at their current salaries. College Board officials said Bennett makes $375,000 a year, while Meyers makes $270,500 and LaForge makes $233,875.

Bennett, previously vice president of student affairs at the University of Georgia, became the first black president of one of Mississippi’s five historically white public universities. College Board President Aubrey Patterson lauded Bennett for helping USM recover from a February 2013 tornado that heavily damaged part of the school’s campus even before he officially took office, as well as for his focus on students.

While enrollment has declined at USM, Bennett has focused on recruiting more academically talented students and bolstering their performance once on campus.

Bennett said in a statement that the extension “will allow us to continue providing high-quality education and research programs while strengthening our trajectory of recruiting, enrolling, and graduating high achieving students as we meet the needs of the state of Mississippi and beyond.”

Meyers was most recently president of Norfolk State University in Virginia before become she became president of JSU in 2011. Since then, JSU opened branch campuses and increased enrollment to a high of 9,508.

Corinth, Miss.

Death penalty, open records laws intersect STARKVILLE — Hinds County Chancery Judge Denise Owens ruled last week that the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) cannot refuse to disclose the name of the pharmacy that Sid Salter supplies a crucial drug used by the state in the process of Columnist lethal injection execution.

The decision is the latest salvo in a battle that is shaping up in Mississippi that brings opposition to the death penalty and support for open record laws to the same public policy intersection.

In November, the Roderick and Solange MacArthur Justice Center filed an open records request with seeking information about how Mississippi imposes the death penalty and the procedures used in that process. A second request ensued before the MacArthur Center received 10 redacted pages of information from MDOC. Lawyers for MDOC and the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office argued that such information about the imposition of the death penalty in the state must be kept secret.

The state argued that the MacArthur Center and other groups use information regarding the source of chemicals or drugs used in the execution process as a means to facilitate protests or to pressure companies or individuals from involvement in the execution process – essentially, they use information to try to stop the imposition of the death penalty.

Clearly, death penalty opponents across the country and literally around the world have indeed used such information to bring pressure on manufacturing companies, compounding pharmacies, state agencies and officials and others involved in the death penalty imposition designed to impede, delay or stop the imposition of executions.

Anyone who argues that this isn’t the ultimate goal of the litigation in Mississippi is either naïve or disingenuous. Hood and MDOC fought the records request on that basis.

But, as Judge Owens noted, the state’s Open Records Act exists for an important purpose.

In regard to the specific information MDOC was shielding, the judge ruled: “It is the nature of the beast for executions to rile up fear in individuals who take part in the process leading to or during an execution. The names of those involved, be it the executioner, the pharmacy who provides the lethal drugs, down to the district attorney who prosecuted the prisoner, may be of public interest. And these individuals may feel some kind of way about the public knowing their identity. However, this is the nature of the very big beast we face as citizens of Mississippi where the death penalty is legal.”

The argument that records connected to imposition of the death penalty in Mississippi should be shrouded in secrecy is one that flies in the face of the concept of openness in government regarding the most punitive act that government can take against an individual.

No single act of government should be more transparent than the taking of a person’s life.

Executions in America since 1976 have become much like NASA’s moon shots became after Apollo 13. Unless the astronauts were in trouble, people couldn’t even be bothered to watch the takeoffs and splashdowns on TV. With executions, the country doesn’t really want to be bothered with the details.

Mississippi has 49 people on Death Row. Death penalty proponents still hold political sway in the Magnolia State and the death penalty will remain legal here for the foreseeable future. That’s simply a fact.

House Bill 1305, which would have mandated execution secrecy in Mississippi, died in committee in the state Senate.

Those who oppose the death penalty have and will continue to use every means at their disposal to stop it. That includes information obtained through public records requests.

That is, as Judge Owens wisely noted, “the nature of the beast.”

Prayer for today My Father, thou hast taught me through the gifts of life, that there is no labor or price too dear to pay for love. I pray to love thee more that I may have more love to bestow on others. Amen.

A verse to share “Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?” Proverbs 30:4

Class, not race, drives trends In contemporary America, “the conversation about race” never ends. It fuels political debate and cable chatter, and practically every week some new outrage – real or imagined – is fodder for the hungry maw of the interminable conversation.

We don’t talk about class nearly as often, even though the bifurcation of American life along class lines continues apace, with distressing consequences for the state of the American Dream.

On the heels of conservative scholar Charles Murray’s “Coming Apart,” a much-discussed study of class divisions in white America, arrives “Our Kids” by the respected sociologist Robert Putnam of “Bowling Alone” fame. It paints much the same picture as Murray, with an emphasis on how the differences among highand low-income parents affect the prospects of their children.

Children of more affluent and better-educated parents have substantial, and growing, advantages, beginning with the fact that they are much more likely to grow up in stable homes.

Over and over, Putnam cites data showing collegeeducated and high-schooleducated parents sliding in different directions.

College-educated mothers delay childbearing about

six years later than they did 50 years ago, and thus tend to be better prepared; high-schoolRich e d u c a t e d Lowry moms have their kids National Review slightly earlier than 50 years ago, and a decade earlier than college-educated mothers.

Since the 1970s, nonmarital births have increased only a little among collegeeducated women, while they have risen inexorably among high-school-educated women.

Divorce has fallen among college-educated Americans since 1980, but continued to increase among the high-school-educated.

For all our obsession with race, class is asserting its predominance in these family trends. “College-educated blacks,” Putnam writes, “are looking more like college-educated whites, and less educated whites are looking more like less educated blacks.”

In part because of these family differences, there is an enormous, class-based parenting gap. “Increasingly,” according to Putnam, “parents from different social classes are doing very different things to and for

their kids, with massively consequential results.”

More affluent parents tend to have the wherewithal to engage in the intensive nurturing best-suited to giving their children the social, emotional and educational tools they will need to succeed later in life.

“The ubiquitous correlation between poverty and child development,” Putnam writes, “is, in fact, largely explained by differences in parenting styles, including cognitive stimulation (such as frequency of reading) and social engagement (such as involvement in extracurricular activities).”

Again, Putnam demonstrates a growing divide.

Family dinners are an important vehicle for conversation between parents and children. They had been declining as a practice since the 1970s, but the slide stopped among collegeeducated parents in the mid-1990s and continued among high-school-educated parents.

In the 1970s, parents of all classes were spending about the same amount of time with their young kids.

Now, college-educated parents spend about 50 percent more time with their infant or toddler on developmental activities like reading.

Kids from poorer house-

holds make up the time spent without their parents’ attention in front of a TV. More affluent families have been spending more money on child care and education for their children, while the lowest-income families have been spending less.

The difference in educational achievement between children from high- and low-income families has increased. “This class gap,” Putnam writes, “has been growing within each racial group, while the gaps between racial groups have been narrowing.” According to Putnam, a student’s socio-economic status is now more important than test scores in predicting whether an eighth-grader will graduate from college, a fact that should be a fire bell in the night for anyone concerned about opportunity in America.

What accounts for all these changes, and what policies might make a difference? Those nettlesome, weighty questions seem fit topics for a national conversation. But forgive me, I know we’re supposed to be talking about race. Pardon the interruption.

Influence of Senate Conservative Coalition wanes JACKSON — Nearly two years ago, the newly formed Mississippi Senate Conservative Coalition was preparing to make life uncomfortable for Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, a fellow Republican whom the coalition’s leaders viewed as too willing to work across party lines.

Now, the coalition has mostly unraveled, and seven of its 11 original members have even endorsed Reeves for re-election.

Some former coalition members say the organization, led by Republican Sen. Chris McDaniel of Ellisville, never lived up to its own billing as a study group to create serious policy proposals.

Republican Sen. Will Longwitz of Madison said he left the coalition within weeks.

“From the beginning, it was an organization to promote Chris McDaniel,” Longwitz told The Associated Press this past week.

“I don’t see anything they have accomplished. It’s just policy losses followed by political fundraising. You lose, you whine, you raise

money.”

In a separate interview with AP, McDaniel said Longwitz’s comEmily ments were Wagster “very disapPettus pointing ...

Will may talk Capitol Dome like he’s a conservative, but his record proves otherwise. That’s the primary reason he received a Republican primary opponent.”

McDaniel held a news conference in June 2013 to announce the coalition.

“All Republicans may not be conservative, just as all Democrats may not be liberal,” McDaniel said in response to questions about why a Conservative Coalition was needed in a politically conservative state that already has a Republicanmajority Senate and a Republican lieutenant governor.

At that point, the tea party-backed McDaniel was preparing to challenge longtime U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran in the 2014 Repub-

lican primary, but was still more than three months from announcing his candidacy. McDaniel ended up losing to Cochran in a bitter race he never conceded.

Reeves served two terms as state treasurer before defeating longtime state Sen. Billy Hewes of Gulfport in a contentious Republican primary for lieutenant governor in 2011. Hewes took the unusual step of announcing who would be on his leadership team if he were elected, and the list included McDaniel and Republican Sen. Michael Watson of Pascagoula as chairmen of powerful Senate committees.

So, from the beginning of Reeves’ term as lieutenant governor, McDaniel and Watson were outsiders.

Each got a chairmanship, but not nearly as good as the ones they would have gotten under Hewes.

The Conservative Coalition announced in 2013 consisted of one third-term senator, Perry Lee of Mendenhall; two second-term senators, McDaniel and Watson; and eight freshmen: Phillip Gandy of

Waynesboro, Josh Harkins of Flowood, Angela Hill of Picayune, Longwitz, Chris Massey of Nesbit, David Parker of Olive Branch, Tony Smith of Picayune and Melanie Sojourner of Natchez.

Reeves has been endorsed by 28 Republican state senators, including seven originally in the Conservative Coalition — Gandy, Harkins, Hill, Longwitz, Massey, Parker and Smith.

The coalition members who didn’t endorse Reeves are Lee, who’s not seeking re-election to the Senate; and McDaniel, Sojourner and Watson, who are running again.

McDaniel, Watson, Sojourner and Hill are the only coalition members who consistently stick together these days, but McDaniel said the group still exists.

“We all don’t think precisely the same way,” McDaniel said. “Some are more liberty-oriented than others.”

State/Nation

Across the Nation 2 boys father took found in Florida NEWTON, N.J. — Two New Jersey boys at the center of a custody dispute have been found unharmed in Florida with their father along with a fugitive wanted in Tennessee on sex charges, investigators say.

The monthlong search for the 8- and 7-yearold boys ended at the Royal Palm Inn in New Port Richey, Florida, late Wednesday night, Sussex County Prosecutor Francis Koch said. The children were safe and were placed with child protection investigators, Koch said.

The boys’ father, Kristopher Dohm, was arrested on charges of interference with custody and unlawful flight.

Dohm’s friend, Edward Tarras Jr., who faces nearly two dozen sex-related charges in Tennessee, including sexual exploitation of a minor, was also arrested after the joint investigation by federal, state and local law enforcement.

Tarras missed a court date in August and police in Tennessee said at the time that he cut off an ankle monitor and fled town, investigators said. He was then listed as one of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s most wanted fugitives.

Prosecutors previously said Tarras had lured teen girls through an Internet ad seeking models to photograph.

Tarras was appointed a public defender Thursday and was ordered held without bond in his first court appearance. Dohm’s first appearance in court was set for Friday. It wasn’t clear if Dohm had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.

Both men were jailed at the Pasco County Central Detention Center. Dohm also was being held without bond.

Dohm’s sons were reported missing by their mother Feb. 9, after she said they weren’t returned home by their father in violation of a custody agreement.

Baby death suspect claimed pregnancy LONGMONT, Colo. — Court documents say a Colorado woman accused of cutting open the belly of a pregnant woman and removing her unborn baby had told her own family that she was pregnant.

The documents obtained Thursday say suspect Dynel Lane asked her husband to accompany her to a prenatal appointment on Wednesday.

However, when he came home to meet her, the documents say she reported having a miscarriage and showed him a baby gasping for breath in a bathtub.

The baby did not survive. The child’s mother

is expected to recover.

Lane was arrested on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder and other charges.

A doctor told investigators the incision in the mother’s belly was well performed and would have required some research.

Zoo discovers bear is female, not male PHOENIX — The Phoenix Zoo is fessing up to what it calls an “embearassing” mistake regarding one of its animals.

Zoo officials say they were planning to transfer Luka to the Nashville, Tennessee, zoo when they recently discovered that the 2-year-old Andean bear is a female, not a male as thought.

According to the Phoenix Zoo, Andean bear cubs’ genitalia are highly undeveloped before age 2, making it very difficult to determine gender.

The zoo said employees there also hadn’t handled the bear much because it was doing very well with its mother.

The zoo said Luka still might go to Nashville, but now that they know she’s a she, it opens up other options for the bear’s participation in a breeding program.

ACLU suing feds for airport records NEW YORK — A civil rights group sued the federal government Thursday to try to force it to turn over information about airport “behavior detection” programs designed to spot passengers who are potential threats, saying they lead to discrimination.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit in Manhattan federal court, asking a judge to force the Transportation Security Administration to divulge how it runs the programs and the results they have achieved since they began in 2003.

Jennifer Queliz, a spokeswoman for government lawyers, said there was no immediate comment on the lawsuit.

The lawsuit said more information needs to be known about the Screening Passengers

by Observation Techniques program, also known as SPOT, as its techniques are criticized by government auditors, members of Congress and experts. It said the government has spent more than $1 billion on that program alone since 2007.

“What we know about SPOT suggests it’s a waste of taxpayer money, leads to racial profiling, and should be scrapped,” ACLU staff attorney Hugh Handeyside said in a news release.

He said government

School nickname drop brings protest LANCASTER, N.Y. — About 300 students walked out of their western New York school and through the streets on Thursday in protest of their district’s decision to retire the Redskins nickname because it offends some Native Americans.

At times chanting “Let’s go Redskins!” the students gathered at the start of school and walked into the village of Lancaster before returning to campus.

Among their signs were ones saying “School board speak with forked tongue” and “Once a Redskin, always a Redskin.”

The protest followed a vote earlier this week by the Lancaster Central School Board to retire the nickname after more than 60 years.

The suburban Buffalo district had been phasing it out the past few years but was under increasing pressure to do away with it altogether.

Inspection stickers could be eliminated JACKSON — Mississippi is poised to eliminate its $5 annual vehicle inspection sticker.

The House voted 1127 Thursday to approve the final version of a bill to wipe out the sticker.

A spokeswoman for Republican Gov. Phil Bryant says he intends to sign House Bill 982 into law. The sticker requirement will end July 1.

During the annual inspection, a driver must show that a vehicle’s headlights, turn signals, horn and windshield wipers are working.

House Transportation Committee Chairman Robert Johnson III, a Democrat from Natchez, says there’s not enough support in the Legislature to create a more thorough and expensive inspection process, so it makes sense to eliminate the sticker.

Court of Appeals plans college visit OXFORD — The Mississippi Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments on the campus of the University of Mississippi in April.

The court will be on the Oxford campus on April 21. The court periodically hears cases on college campuses as a teaching tool for students and the public.

At Ole Miss, a threejudge panel will hear arguments in a criminal appeal from Lauderdale County and a domestic relations case from Montgomery County.

The cases are among dozens the Appeals Court will consider during its March-April term.

Decisions are expected later.

The arguments will be heard in the Moot Courtroom at the Khayat Law Center.

He says the collaborations include training students and faculty from these institutions at Ole Miss and study abroad opportunities for Ole Miss students.

The initial African partners are Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia; the University of Benin and Federal University of Technology-Minna, both in Nigeria; the International Institute for Water and Environmental Engineering in Burkina Faso; and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in South Africa.

Murder-for-hire case hearing now in April WIGGINS -- A preliminary hearing for three people charged in a Ramsey Springs killing-for-hire plot, one of whom is the wife of the slain man, has been rescheduled for April 1.

The Sun Herald reports the hearing was scheduled for Thursday.

A Harrison County Justice Court official said Judge Ricky Farmer rescheduled the hearing because defense attorneys needed more time to prepare.

Jody Robert Parks, 21, is charged with capital murder in the Jan. 24 slaying of Timothy “Timmy” Garrison Sr. at a business Garrison owned with his wife.

Garrison’s wife, Evelyn Garrison, 51, and Parks’ cousin Emmett E. Entrekin, 64, are each charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Parks remains jailed without bond, and Entrekin and Evelyn Garrison are each jailed on $1 million cash bonds.

Authorities said the night of the slaying, Evelyn Garrison called 911 after finding her husband’s body in the front yard of their business.

West Point offering online fine payments WEST POINT — West Point residents now have an easier way to pay fines.

Police Chief Tim Brinkley tells WTVA TV they now have an online service that will allow people to pay fines rather than show up for court.

What’s called Court Solutions offers seven day, 24 hours a day access.

Courts are instantly notified of payments.

A receipt comes in the mail.

Brinkley says unpaid fines in the city have soared to $250,000. He says some date back to 2008.

Research vessel has much to offer USM HATTIESBURG — The Point Sur — the University of Southern Mississippi’s new research vessel — has already been around the block a time or two.

It was built in 1980, and was owned by the National Science Foundation until it was sold to the university earlier this year.

The Hattiesburg American reports Point Sur has three labs: a 488-square-foot main laboratory, a 96-squarefoot wet lab and a 120-square-foot electronics lab.

It can accommodate 13 researchers and technicians, and a crew of eight. For day trips, it can carry 40 researchers. The main deck covers 1,100 square feet.

Monty Graham, chairman of the Department of Marine Science at Southern Miss, says the acquisition of Point Sur will help the university enhance education and research opportunities for students and faculty.

Ole Miss partners with Africa colleges OXFORD -- Africa is opening up for University of Mississippi students to study, experience and learn firsthand about international issues.

The initiative was announced Thursday.

Provost Morris Stocks says in a news release that five African schools are partnering with Ole Miss for student and faculty exchanges, research partnerships and educational collaborations.

secrecy about documents related to the program “can’t hide the fact that there’s no evidence the program works.”

According to the lawsuit, the TSA trains and deploys “behavior detection officers” at airports to watch passengers in screening areas for behaviors that the government associates with stress, fear or deception. The behaviors can lead to secondary inspection and questioning and eventually to a law enforcement probe.

The ACLU said the Government Accountability Office and an independent scientific advisory group concluded there was no evidence that observing the behavior of people can isolate those who are deceptive. It said a report by the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general also could find no evidence the program worked.

Meanwhile, it said, complaints that additional questions and screening are unfairly falling on people of Middle Eastern descent, blacks, Hispanics and other minorities have arisen at several airports, including in Boston, Honolulu and Newark, New Jersey.

Does it really matter?

How many of life’s socalled disasters are actually worthy of your time, energy, and emotions?

It’s so easy to get worked up over some issue that ultimately fades to insignificance over time. It’s a waste to get caught up in turmoil over issues that don’t really matter in the long, or even short term.

The smallest incident has the potential to be upsetting.

Actions of close family and friends Bryan can be exGolden t r e m e l y irritating.

Dare to Live is Without Limits This because you have become conditioned to be triggered by behavior that has a tendency to get under your skin.

There are certain behaviors you are highly sensitive to, regardless of the source. Even complete strangers have the ability to produce a deleterious effect on you.

Always keep in mind that you have no control over someone else’s behavior, but you do have total control over your response.

Driving your car encapsulates the essence of this concept. It is an excellent opportunity to practice your assessment of what really matters. The paramount issue while behind the wheel is your safety.

Becoming embroiled in any altercation with rude or inconsiderate drivers has no upside. So, regardless of what another driver does, it doesn’t really matter. You have nothing to prove and any attempt to teach them a lesson starts a downward spiral.

You can get worked up at any time and any

Always keep in mind that you have no control over someone else’s behavior, but you do have total control over your response. place, even when you are supposed to be relaxing and having fun. Here are just some examples. At the movies, a really tall person sits in front of you. You go out for dinner and are served by an inattentive waiter.

Your children are unruly. At a social event, you get into an argument with some of your friends. You and your spouse get into an argument over which color to use for painting the living room. Bad weather has ruined your plans for the weekend.

Perhaps some of these examples seem idiotic, but it is astounding how many people become embroiled in negative emotions over stuff that doesn’t really matter.

Looking back, they may not remember why they got so upset, if they even remember the incident at all. For instance, there are people who have not talked to family members or friends for years on end and can’t tell you why.

Getting upset over things that don’t really matter is a conditioned response developed over many years. Since nothing will be gained by becoming upset, it’s to your advantage to alter your response.

To do this requires a shift in perspective.

You need to appreciate what is really important and valuable in your life. First and foremost is your well-being, both mentally and physically.

takes a measurable toll.

Symptoms include anger, anxiety, headaches, high blood pressure, ulcers, a lowered immune system, along with eating and sleep disorders.

Not only is your health constantly worn down, your agitation has a negative impact on those around you.

Your becoming agitated will not make anything better. This approach actually causes you to feel worse as your ability to think clearly drops, while your level of anxiety elevates.

The next time you are faced with an upsetting situation is an opportunity to practice altering your strategy. Instead of getting worked up the way you normally would, ask yourself, “Does this really matter?” Since the answer is invariably, “No,” let it roll off your back without getting under your skin.

There are no risks to this change in strategy.

There are no negative side effects. Your feeling better is the only potential outcome. You do have control over your response. Start exercising it.

White, 89, is set for 2 p.m. today at the Corinthian Funeral Chapel with Brother Joe Story officiating. Burial will be in Jerusalem Church of Christ Cemetery.

Visitation is from 11 a.m. to service time.

Mrs. White entered her heavenly home at MS Care Center on Tuesday, March 17, 2015. She was born in Alcorn County on Aug. 11, 1925, to Luther and Lovie Lamb Beene. She was a nurse aid for Whitfield and MS Care Center Nursing Homes and Magnolia Regional Health Center. She was a member of Jerusalem Church of Christ.

Mrs. White was preceded in death by her husbands, Charlie White and Ledford Parker; her parents; one brother, Elmer Beene; and a sister, Avis Parker.

Her memory will be carried on by her children, Annie Hale and husband George of Michie, Tenn., Willard Parker of Michie, Tenn., and Debbie Bennett of Nashville, Tenn.; four grandchildren, Sherry Hale Beard, Patrick Hale, Jonathan Bennett and Titus Bennett; great-grandchildren Cameron Beard, Bailey Beard and Miranda Hale; two step-great-grandchildren; three special nieces and nephew, Toby Beene and wife Carol, Linda McElrath and husband Steve and Kimble DeMoss and husband Todd; and a host of other friends and family.

called to the hospital where another officer had driven the child in his patrol car rather than wait for an ambulance.

“We were all hoping, but we also knew that it was going to take a miracle for that boy to live,” he wrote. “He was not granted that miracle.”

“Why did this boy have to die?” he continued. “Was it disrespect?

Drugs? A woman? Money? All stupid reasons to fire a gun anywhere near another human being, let alone children, but here we are again, with another child lost to violence.”

The young heart patient’s death rattled St. Louis, which has been enduring a crime surge. The 2014 homicide rate was one of the city’s highest in nearly two decades.

“There was a line drawn,” funeral director Ronald Jones said, referring to an unwritten code of the streets that protected the innocent from violence. “Kids, family — they were off-limits.”

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Don’t miss Crossroads Magazine 2015 Spring Edition, coming Saturday, March 28.

Casual remark cuts deeper than what friend intended D E A R ABBY: My wife, “Tina,” was very hurt by a friend recently.

Her friend “Sally” called Abigail her “cheap” a Van Buren during conversation (”she’s cheap Dear Abby like you”).

Sally didn’t intend it to be hurtful, just an illustration -- but my wife is very upset about it.

We use coupons when we grocery shop or dine out; we also watch our thermostats, recycle, etc.

On the other hand, we have sent our children to university without loans, our mortgage is paid off, we have traveled extensively and our net worth is north of a million dollars with no debt.

How do I make Tina realize that Sally’s comment should not upset her so? -- THRIFTY IN TEXAS DEAR THRIFTY: What happened was unfortunate because the problem may be that Sally simply chose the wrong word.

What she probably meant was that your wife is frugal.

The difference between “frugal” and “cheap” is that being frugal is a VIRTUE. Because Sally hurt your wife’s feelings, Tina needs to tell her how it made her feel so Sally

can apologize to her before it causes a permanent rift.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a teenage girl who has a fantastic life, a loving family, great grades in school and a nice house. I have a problem that seems to be taking over my life: I’m very anxious.

At first, it seemed I was just a worrywart, but lately, it’s been nuts. I’m terrified someone in my family is going to die and I worry obsessively over it. I try to think it’s going to be all right, but my anxiety just overtakes me.

I’m terrified of death and that my parents or my siblings will die tomorrow. I don’t know who to tell.

My parents freak out over the slightest thing.

Please help me. -- WORRYWART IN ARIZONA DEAR WORRYWART: Many young people harbor the same fear you have.

But because you say your parents tend to “freak out” at the slightest thing, I can’t help but wonder if a tendency toward high anxiety runs in your family.

Assuming that your family members are in good health, your preoccupation with the idea they might suddenly die should be discussed with a licensed psychotherapist. Ideally, you should tell your parents what’s going on, but if you’re afraid to talk to them and ask for help, then speak to a counselor at

school so the counselor can bring it to their attention. Because this is troubling you to the extent that you have written to me, please don’t procrastinate.

DEAR ABBY: How do you politely refuse to hug or shake someone’s hand because of a medical issue that lowers your resistance to infection?

I had a stem cell transplant 18 months ago because of a recurrence of Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

I’m now on a drug that keeps my white blood count low.

If I get a fever, I could end up in the hospital. I have been in remission for over a year and look healthy.

I don’t really care to get into a long conversation about my experience, but I don’t want to put myself at risk. How should I handle this without appearing rude? -- HOLDING BACK IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR HOLDING: Not extending your hand should send the message.

However, if you are pressed, tell a short version of the truth, which would be, “I can’t do that because I have a medical condition that prevents close contact.”

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You get a blast of cosmic sunshine and will continue to grow in vitality and power in the weeks to come. Already you may feel that you have the ability to see the potential in everything.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

When traffic lights aren’t working, the intersection becomes an every-man-for-himself situation.

This illustrates the importance of clear communication. Be the functioning traffic light.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Face-to-face meetings will be extremely effective and well worth the trouble taken to make them happen. What you do for them may soon fade from memory, but what you do with them will stick.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

It’s like you have a velvet sack full of money, only it’s not money. It’s actually something much more valuable because it’s a currency that translates in every country without conversion. It’s

love.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A young Walt Disney once claimed to love Mickey Mouse more than any woman he’d known. Similarly, you’re falling in love with one of your own creations, and it will bring you great joy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll use your natural comedic powers for good, helping people laugh at the absurd, the hypocritical and even at the painful experiences that go along with just being human.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Making people feel comfortable is a talent of yours, and you can put it to good use today, especially considering that one nervous person can ruin the vibe of the whole party.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In a way, you’re an avenger ready to balance the scales of justice, though you’re not sure yet which methods and weapons are likely to work best for the situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Because you enjoy the ordinary, you are more likely to observe and experience extraordinary events. You’re headed into a cycle in which life will delight you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The journalist Wes Izzard said, “If a man wakes up famous, he hasn’t been sleeping.” The hard work you do to gain attention for your cause, talent or project will pay off later.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). All relationships thrive on measured pacing. Reveal too much too soon, and the mystery is spoiled. Build anticipation instead. Make getting to know you a kind of adventure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

As the sun leaves your realm, simple efforts may seem to take too much energy. When you don’t feel like it, do it anyway.

Show up strong. Consistency will give more than it takes.

Apple is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable company, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean it wields the most influence. At least not in the Dow Jones industrial average.

The iPhone maker was added to the blue-chip average after the market closed on Wednesday, replacing AT&T. The Dow is a price-weighted average, which means that the higher a company stockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s price, the more influence that stock will have on the level of the Dow. Goldman Sachs currently has the highest share price in the Dow at $189.97. Apple shares closed at $127.50 on Thursday.

The least influential stock is General Electric. It closed at $25.33 on Thursday.

Wedding night disgusts engaged widow WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I am a 54-year-old widow living in a large and active retirement community. I am engaged to “Pete,” a 64-year-old man whom I’ve been seeing for a year.

We get along very well and have many common interests.

Pete has a 20-year-old mentally challenged son living with him, and we also get along fine. (My grown children live in another state.) Pete’s son would live with us after we marry, and I am OK with that. We’ve set a date and even had an engagement party. Now everything is turning into a nightmare.

Pete and I have had some heavy make-out sessions, but we have never had sex. He now tells me he cannot “perform.”

It doesn’t really matter to me, but he’s turning it into a huge problem. He says that in order to really be married, according to his religion, it has to be consummated, and that because he isn’t capable of doing so, his son should be his stand-in. Pete would be there to make sure everything was completed. I was shocked to say the least. He has told a number of our friends about this, and they think he’s crazy. They also think I’m crazy to still be with him. He says if I love him it won’t matter and that it is only a one-time thing.

Annie’s Mailbox Pete says this is “nonnegotiable.” I don’t want anything to do with it, but if I marry Pete, all of our friends will think I slept with his son, even if I haven’t.

If I’d known this before we got engaged, I never would have agreed to marry him.

I am in good health and do not need him financially. What do I do? — Upset in N.Y.C. Dear Upset: Leave.

Now. The reason various religions expect marriages to be consummated is to produce children. You are not going to do that, so Pete’s request is completely unreasonable. If he wants his son to have a sexual experience, he can hire a professional.

But you ought to get away from this nuttiness while you still can. We guarantee it won’t be the last crazy demand he makes.

Dear Annie: I know there are free and lowcost options for people who need counseling for depression. Do you know of any such resources for

couples who could use a marriage tune-up but don’t have much money?

— Daisy Dear Daisy: First check with your local YMCA or YWCA, as well as university counseling centers and your place of worship. Your county, state or city is likely to offer free or lowcost family counseling, which usually includes marriage counseling, and you may be eligible for those services. You also can look online to see whether there are community counseling centers in your area.

Worldwide Marriage Encounter (wwme.org) for Catholic couples is free, and there are other Marriage Encounter programs that are not faith-based and often operate on a small donation. Every marriage could use a “tune-up” now and then. Good luck.

Xavier’s inside-out beats Ole Miss The Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Having already dismissed the First Four’s comeback kids, Xavier now gets the NCAA Tournament’s little darlings.

Matt Stainbrook scored 20 points, Dee Davis added 17 and the sixth-seeded Musketeers beat No. 11 seed Mississippi 76-57 in the West Regional on Thursday.

The 6-foot-10 Stainbrook took advantage of his size in the post, making 8 of 10 shots in the paint and adding nine rebounds and five assists.

Davis was nearly as good from the outside, hitting 4 of 9 shots from 3-point range.

Coach Chris Mack pulled them to a rousing ovation

with 1:51 remaining and the game in hand.

“We did a good job sort of pounding the ball inside to begin with, and when we can do that and establish inside, then it really opens up the outside,” Stainbrook said. “Dee and a couple other guys were hitting some big shots outside to keep the floor stretched.”

Xavier (22-13) advanced to face 14th-seeded Georgia State on Saturday. The Panthers already had been the talk of the tournament, with oddly injured coach Ron Hunter on the sideline and former Louisville guard Kevin Ware in the starting lineup.

But Georgia State topped both those story lines with

a late rally against Baylor.

Hunter’s son, R.J., drained a 30-footer for the upset — a shot that literally knocked the father off his chair.

“We worry about what we need to do,” Xavier’s Remy Abell said. “We feel like if we take care of what we have to do on the offensive end and defensive end, then everything will take care of itself.”

The Musketeers did just fine against Ole Miss.

Xavier’s inside-out duo was considerably better than Mississippi’s two-man guard tandem of Stefan Moody and Jarvis Summers. They finished a combined 5 of 26 from the field. Moody led the Rebels (21-13) with 14 points on

5-of-18 shooting.

“We didn’t come with that fight today,” said Ole Miss forward M.J. Rhett, who finished with 12 points. “We just didn’t come prepared today — none of us.”

Maybe the Rebels had dead legs. After all, they exerted significant energy in overcoming a 17-point deficit to beat BYU in the First Four in Dayton, Ohio, about 43 hours earlier.

Ole Miss scored 62 points in the second half Tuesday night, boarded a flight to Jacksonville, got to bed about 5 a.m. Wednesday and spent the next 30 hours playing Please see XAVIER | 11A

The Mississippi State women have had plently to celebrate this season. They set program record for victories, both overall and in Southeastern Conference play (11), while earning the second-best seed in school history. MSU takes on Tulane today in the first round of the Spokane Region.

Duke, MSU ready for women’s openers The Associated Press

DURHAM, N.C. — This was Duke’s worst season in a while — and one of the best in Mississippi State history.

The fourth-seeded Blue Devils and fifth-seeded Bulldogs will be heavy favorites to win their NCAA Tournament openers Friday.

Duke (21-10) faces 13thseeded Albany (24-8) and Mississippi State (26-6) takes on 12th-seeded Tulane (2210) in the first round of the

Spokane Region.

Despite having a lower seed, the Bulldogs actually finished at No. 12 in the final Top 25 poll, four spots higher than Duke.

They set program record for victories, both overall and in Southeastern Conference play (11), while earning the second-best seed in school history.

The Blue Devils are making their 21st straight tournament appearance, but

this is their lowest seed since they were a No. 5 seed in 1997.

Unless they win the national title, they’ll finish with 11 losses — which they haven’t done since ‘97.

They’ve had about two weeks to refocus after a season that included two threegame losing streaks and a loss to Notre Dame in an Atlantic Coast Conference tournament semifinal.

“That was a rough thing

for us,” coach Joanne P. McCallie said Thursday.

“We had some great lessons learned from that, and we’ve had some time to take off and time to prepare.”

One of the biggest issues — once again — has been injuries.

The Blue Devils lost key post player Oderah Chidom to a season-ending shoulder injury. Past years have Please see MSU | 11A

Fathers, sons, upsets and overtimes in NCAA The Associated Press

Two wins by No. 14 seeds.

Two sons winning games for their father-coaches. Two overtimes. The team nobody thought belonged in the field winning a game. The Big 12 starting 0-3. And, heartbreak for Harvard. Just another opening day at the NCAA Tournament.

points and Lee finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Blazers who dominated the boards 52-37, including 19 on the offensive glass.

Morris finished with 15 points for the Cyclones, who were making a school-record fourth straight tournament appearance.

UCLA 60, SMU 59 South Region UAB 60, Iowa State 59 LOUISVILLE, Ky. — William Lee scored the last four points for the 14th-seeded Blazers in their upset win Thursday.

The Blazers (20-15) came in as one of the youngest teams in the field and with nobody having played in this tournament before. They wound up winning the program’s first NCAA game since 2005.

The third-seeded Cyclones (25-9) couldn’t hold onto a 55-51 lead with 3:13 left as the Blazers outscored Iowa State 9-4 down the stretch.

Robert Brown had 21

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Bryce Alford made four 3-pointers in the final 3:40, his last on a rare goaltending call with 13 seconds remaining, to push 11th-seeded UCLA to the upset.

All of Alford’s points came on nine long-range shots but his last attempt was the most debated as his shot from the left side was hit by SMU’s Yanick Moreira before it reached the rim. Officials awarded Alford, the son of coach Steve Alford, the basket, to the disbelief of SMU players and coach Larry Brown.

The sixth-seeded Mustangs

(27-7) had two shots to win in the final seconds, but Nic Moore missed a 3-pointer and then a 2-point attempt that sent the Bruins (21-13) into a wild celebration.

Norman Powell added 19 points for UCLA, the team many felt didn’t even belong in the field of 68.

Moore had 24 points, including six 3s.

Utah 57, Stephen F. Austin 50 PORTLAND, Ore. —Jakob Poeltl had 18 points and eight rebounds, and fifth-seeded Utah opened its first NCAA Tournament appearance in six years by holding off Stephen F. Austin.

The high-scoring Lumberjacks were a trendy pick in brackets across the country, but the Utes used their stout defense to hold the Southland Conference Tournament champions well under their season average of 79.5 points.

Ty Charles led 12th-seeded Stephen F. Austin (29-5) with

14 points.

Jordan Loveridge added 12 points for Utah (25-8), which will play the winner of the late game between No. 4 seed Georgetown and 13th-seeded Eastern Washington.

Utah had not won a tournament game since 2005.

Stephen F. Austin pulled off an opening-day upset last year as a No. 12 seed, ousting VCU 77-75 in overtime.

Midwest Region Notre Dame 69, Northeastern 65 PITTSBURGH— Zach Auguste scored 25 points, Jerian Grant added 17 and Notre Dame dodged a scare trying to erase its futile NCAA Tournament history.

The third-seeded Fighting Irish (30-5) returned to the tournament after a one-year absence. They have traditionally struggled in the tournament under coach Mike Brey.

catch-up.

“We can’t use that as an excuse,” Summer said.

“We put ourselves in this situation and we just had to bounce back, and we didn’t make it happen.”

The Rebels looked every bit like a tired team.

They missed 18 of their first 27 shots, with most of those by Moody and Summers.

They showed signs of life in the second half, even cutting an 18-point deficit to 60-50 with about 7 minutes to play.

No surprise, Xavier responded by going inside to Stainbrook.

He backed down Dwight Colby and got an easy basket near the rim.

Myles Davis followed with a 3 that made it a 15-point game again.

“It’s difficult because they were getting a lot of scoring in the low post from the big guy, and then whenever we tried to double-team him — he’s got a good IQ for the game — and he was just passing out to the guards, and they were making shots,” Sum-

Baseball mers said.

Trash talk Stainbrook’s only notable mistake came when he was called for a technical for jawing with Rhett in the second half. Asked what he said, Stainbrook responded that “it was something like, ‘Hey, I like your shoes,’ and he’s like, ‘Oh, I also like your shoes.’

And that’s just pretty much what happened.”

Stainbrook eventually offered a serious answer and called it a mistake.

“He dunked the ball on me and had a couple words for me and then I knew to come back was stupid,” he said.

“The second guy always gets noticed, so it was dumb on my part and disappointing.

That won’t happen again.

There won’t be any other technicals from me.”

been derailed by season-ending injuries to guards Chelsea Gray and Alexis Jones.

Factor in the abrupt transfer of freshman guard Sierra Calhoun and the season-ending knee injury suffered by reserve Lynee Belton, and this clearly isn’t the same Duke team that started the year.

“We’ve evolved since then,” McCallie said.

“The team has been resilient and tough, and people have stepped up.”

The same goes for Mississippi State. Behind freshman forward Victoria Vivians, a 15-point scorer, the Bulldogs finished 11-5 in SEC play and earned

their best seed since they were a No. 3 in 2003.

“This season has been very special for us,” SEC co-coach of the year Vic Schaefer said.

“Obviously, it’s a very special team.”

Quarterback McCoy re-signs with Redskins The Associated Press

WASHINGTON —The Washington Redskins have re-signed freeagent quarterback Colt McCoy, who started four games for the team last season.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

McCoy, 28, appeared in five games overall in his first season with the Redskins, completing 91 of 128 passes (71.7 percent) for 1,057 yards, with four touchdown passes, three interceptions and a team-high passer rating of 96.4.

The McCoy signing means, at least for now, the trio of quarterbacks who started games for last year’s 4-12 club will return, including 2012 first-round draft pick Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins.

Head coach Jay Gruden said last month during the NFL scouting combine that Griffin would enter the season as the starter.

Griffin, who dislocated his ankle in Week 2 against Jacksonville, moved in and out of the starting lineup last season.

He finished 2-5 as a starter for a club that was last in the NFC East for the sixth time in seven seasons.

When Griffin went down, Cousins relieved him and led Washington to a Week 2 win, but

then went 0-4 before being pulled at halftime against Tennessee.

McCoy engineered a comeback win over the Titans and an upset victory the following week at Dallas before Griffin returned.

McCoy would later start games from Week 13-15 before being placed on injured reserve due to a neck injury.

Washington owns the fifth overall pick in the upcoming draft. Recent speculation has centered on what the team might do if Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota of Oregon is available.

McCoy is entering his sixth NFL season and his second with the Redskins after joining the team as an unrestricted free agent last April.

In 33 career games with 25 starts, he has completed 501 of 831 passes (60.3 percent) for 5,458 yards, 25 touchdowns and 23 interceptions.

McCoy played at Texas (2006-09), completing 1,157 of 1,645 career passes for 13,253 yards with 112 touchdowns and 45 interceptions.

He added 447 rushing attempts for 1,571 yards and 20 touchdowns.

A third-round pick by Cleveland in 2010, McCoy played three seasons for the Browns before being traded to San Francisco in April 2013.

NCAA CONTINUED FROM 10A

since 2001. Scott Eatherton had 18 points and David Walker had 15 for 14th-seeded Northeastern (23-12) which gave the Irish fits and threatened to keep Notre Dame’s March malaise going.

With a chance to tie it at 67-all with less than 10 seconds left, Quincy Ford lost control of the ball — and the Huskies lost their chance at pulling off the shocker.

Auguste, who made 10 of 14 shots, sealed it with two free throws.

Butler 56, Texas 48 PITTSBURGH — Kellen Dunham scored 20 points, including a pivotal 3-pointer with 1:18 to play, to lift sixth-seeded Butler (23-10).

The Longhorns (2014) added to a miserable day for the vaunted Big 12. Texas joined Baylor and Iowa State, both No. 3 seeds, as early tournament exits.

Jonathan Holmes led the Longhorns with 15 points and Isaiah Taylor added 14 but Texas shot just 34 percent from the field and turned it over 15 times while failing to make it beyond the first weekend of the NCAAs for the seventh straight year.

A pullup jumper by Taylor drew Texas within 4443 with 2:42 to play but the Longhorns never got closer. Dunham knocked down a free throw and then hit a 3-pointer from the right wing to make it 48-43.

Cincinnati 66, Purdue 65, OT

LOUISVILLE, Ky. —Troy Caupain got Cincinnati to overtime with his buzzerbeating layup, then Coreontae DeBerry helped the eighth-seeded Bearcats beat No. 9 seed Purdue.

The Bearcats trailed by seven with 48.5 seconds left in regulation and forced overtime with a 10-3 run. Caupain’s driving layup banked off the glass, rolled around and hit the glass again — staying on the back rim for a moment — before falling through. That sent the Bearcats celebrating while officials reviewed the play to make sure Caupain did beat the buzzer.

In overtime, DeBerry scored four of his 13 points helping Cincinnati take a lead it wouldn’t lose again. Vince Edwards’ would-be tying 3 hit off the rim at the buzzer for the Boilermakers (21-13).

The Bearcats (23-10) will play either No. 1 Kentucky or Hampton on Saturday in the Midwest Region.

West Region North Carolina 67, Harvard 65 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Justin Jackson hit a tying jumper in the final minute and then had a fast-break dunk to help fourth-seeded North Carolina edge 13th-seeded Harvard.

The Tar Heels (25-11) wasted a 16-point, second-half lead and briefly trailed before Jackson came to the rescue to save the day.

Siyani Chambers’ fourpoint play put Harvard ahead 65-63 with 1:15 remaining.

It was the only lead of the game for the Ivy League champions.

Jackson finished with 14 points and Marcus Paige had 10. Chambers misfired on a pair of 3-pointers in the closing seconds, and the Crimson’s final chance for victory — Wesley Saunders’ shot from beyond the arc — bounced off the back of the rim.

Saunders led Harvard (22-8) with 26 points.

Georgia State 57, Baylor 56 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —R.J. Hunter kept firing away, eventually lifting Georgia State over Baylor and knocking his father right off his seat. Hunter’s 3-pointer with 2.7 seconds remaining capped a comeback from a 12-point deficit and lifted the 14thseeded Panthers over the third-seeded Bears.

With Ron Hunter working the sideline in a rolling chair less than a week after tearing his left Achilles tendon celebrating Georgia State winning the Sun Belt Conference championship, R.J. shrugged off a poor shooting performance to come through when his team needed him most.

Baylor (24-10), which got 18 points and 15 rebounds from reserve Taurean Prince, did not score after going up 56-44 on two free throws with 2:54 remaining.

The junior guard’s steal and layup trimmed Baylor’s lead to 56-53, and he drained an NBA-range 3 for the win after the Bears’ Kenny Chery missed the front end of a 1-and-1 that could have put the game away for the Bears.

Hunter finished with 16 points on 5-of-12 shooting.

Arizona 93, Texas Southern 72 PORTLAND, Ore. — Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had 23 points, 16 in the first half, along with 10 rebounds for secondseeded Arizona.

Pac-12 freshman of the year Stanley Johnson added 22 points for the balanced Wildcats (32-3), who led by as many as 27 points. Madarious Gibbs had 15 points for 15thseeded Texas Southern (22-13), which won an automatic bid as the winner of the Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament. Brandon Ashley added 14 points for Arizona, which won its 12th straight.

Texas Southern was making its second straight appearance in the tournament.

Ohio State 75, VCU 72, OT PORTLAND, Ore. — D’Angelo Russell scored 28 points and rallied 10th-seeded Ohio State from an early 12-point deficit for the overtime win. Russell regrouped from a blow that sent blood streaming down the left side of his face near the end of regulation.

He made 10 of 20 shots, including 4 of 7 from 3-point range, and added six rebounds, two steals and two blocks to bring the Buckeyes (24-10) back in both halves and overtime. Amir Williams added 13 points, and Jae’Sean Tate scored 12 to help Ohio State avoid a second straight one-anddone showing in the tournament.

Melvin Johnson had 17 points for the seventhseeded Rams (26-10).

Do Common Core naysayers know the standards?

Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t students be required to read complex, challenging texts containing academic language?

Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the teaching of reading, writing, and speaking be grounded in evidence from texts, both literary and informational, in order to help students become proficient readers and writers?

Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t students be able to build knowledge by sifting through content-rich informational texts?

These three questions comprise the three key shifts of English Stacy literacy in Jones C o m m o n Core State The Dowtowner Standards, w h i c h have been implemented by a majority of states across the nation, in order to more consistently prepare stu-

dents for postsecondary education and a viable career after high school.

The goals of Common Core literacy amount to little more than common sense objectives: students should be able to read complex texts; they should be able to read, write and speak grounded in evidence from literary and informational texts; and they should be building knowledge through the reading of content-filled informational texts.

Beyond those overarching ideas, the English Language Arts (ELA) standards get more specific, breaking down into categories. At the high school level (grades 9-12), the five categories are as follows: Reading â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Literature, Reading â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Informational Text, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language.

Under the category of Reading â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Informational Text, grade 11-12 ELA students would be required to â&#x20AC;&#x153;develop claim(s) and counterclaims fairly and thoroughly, supplying the most relevant evidence

for each while pointing out the strengths and limitations of both in a manner that anticipates the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge level, concerns, values, and possible biases.â&#x20AC;? Essentially, these skills form the underpinning of effective argumentation.

Under the Speaking and Listening category, one standard requires grade 11-12 ELA students to â&#x20AC;&#x153;propel conversations by posing and responding to questions that probe reasoning and evidence; ensure a hearing for a full range of positions on a topic or issue; clarify, verify, or challenge ideas and conclusions; and promote divergent and creative perspectives.â&#x20AC;? Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the ability to contribute to such discourse one of the requirements of being an educated, thinking citizen participating in informed conversations in a thriving democracy?

In the Language category, a standard requires grade 11-12 students to be able to â&#x20AC;&#x153;acquire and use accurately general academic and domain-specific words and phrases,

sufficient for reading, writing, speaking, and listening at the college and career readiness level; demonstrate independence in gathering vocabulary knowledge when considering a word or phrase important to comprehension or expression.â&#x20AC;?

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we want all of our students to know and be able to use a wide range of vocabulary words, including both academic and discipline-specific, as well as to be self-directed in selecting the appropriate words in the context of the communication?

I am a high school English instructor, but I am also versed in the English Language Arts Common Core State Standards at that level. As a Core Coach, I am trained by my state department of education to learn and re-deliver content connected with those standards to fellow teachers in my state, and I fail to see the problem with the standards in which I am versed, as well as why some Mississippi legislators are so adamant about rewriting them.

Yes, we need accurate tests that will measure student achievement of those standards, and there are problems with some of the current Common Core-aligned assessments. Yes, there is much timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;too much timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;devoted to assessing those standardsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so much that the numerous state tests sometimes take away from instructional time.

Yes, there is a great deal of state funding apportioned to testing companies for those assessments. Yes, teachers are held much too accountable on evaluations in terms of connecting teacher effectiveness and student achievement on a single assessment at the end of a course. All of those related issues are hurdles that can be overcome, though, if legisla-

tors deal with them intelligently.

However, I see very little that is wrong with the Common Core State Standards themselvesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at least the standards that pertain to my area of expertise, secondary English. I have yet to hear one legislator explain specifically what is wrong with the standards themselves.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we want our students to be able to read and write effectively at high academic levels?

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we want them to be able to sift through evidence and construct cogent arguments? As an educator, I certainly do, and I know that the Common Core State Standards have the potential to take my students significantly beyond the old state standards that preceded Common Core and were assessed by multiple choice testing.

Helping students become proficient in the skills outlined by Common Core standards benefits us all, as we all should be productive, informed members of our society.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why legislators deem Common Core standards so ineffective.

However, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not yet convinced that that is exactly the case; I have a feeling that the backlash against Common Core amounts to little more than political pandering to some ignorant faction.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not convinced that the brunt of legislators who so vehemently criticize the standards could even name any of them.

Therefore, I have to wonder whether they would be able to adequately demonstrate them themselves.

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A much-hailed law that restricted the opening of new stand-alone fastfood restaurants in one of the poorest sections of Los Angeles did not curb obesity or improve diets, a new study found.

City lawmakers passed the zoning ordinance in 2008 that limited the opening or expansion of fast-food outlets in a 32-square-mile area south of Interstate 10 that struggles with high obesity rates and other health problems.

Rand senior economist Roland Sturm said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no evidence that diets have improved more in South LA. Obesity and overweight rates have not fallen.â&#x20AC;?

Health experts said a single intervention would not reverse the obesity problem. People also have to exercise and make lifestyle changes, they said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about limiting unhealthy food, but increasing access to healthy food,â&#x20AC;? said Alex Ortega, a professor of public health at the University of California, Los Angeles, who had no role in the study.

Rand researchers reviewed permits issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, which inspects food outlets. There were no licenses for standalone fast-food restaurants, but chains opened 17 new outlets in strip shopping centers and food courts in South Los Angeles from 2008 to 2012.

Almost half of the new food permits were for convenience stores that sell soda and junk food, the study found.

Are we now living in a world of non-thinkers?

In the late 1990s I taught journalism, part-time, to high school students.

I am not Gary a certified Andrews teacher. However, I did at Devotionals that time have over 25 years of journalism experience and was considered a professional in the field. This qualified me to help our local high school, which was short a teacher.

It was refreshing to be with most of these students. It was a challenge to be around some of the others. School had changed so much from my days of high school and college.

Having no textbooks for this elective course, I had to bring in materials I had gathered over my print media span and use it to the best of my ability. The students were hungry for what I had to say, but did not appreciate the fact that I made them write a lot of stories, read a lot of material, but most of them really hated my spelling tests.

They couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe juniors and seniors in high school had to take spelling tests, which were desperately needed. Most of them did not want to think on their own.

They wanted every answer given to them and it bothered them that I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that.

I thought students needed to learn the way I did when I was in school.

I used riddles and puzzles and made them figure them out. One puzzle I gave was very hard and the answer

Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Proverbs 1:17; Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Daniel 1:17; Tuesday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ecclesiastes 1:1-11; Wednesday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Daniel 1:1-20; Thursday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Luke 6:39-40; Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hebrews 6:1-12; Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; John 13:12-17. to it was very tricky. I challenged them with this puzzle and made the statement that the first one with the correct answer, I would give an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? grade for that semester. The worst thing I did was allow them to work on it overnight instead of in class.

One student brought the puzzle back with the accepted answer. No one else in class got the answer. I knew this student and his parents and knew his parents worked the puzzle for him.

True to my word I gave this student an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? for the semester even though he was barely above failing.

I tell this story because a couple of years later I ran into this student, who was a stock person for a local retailer. He spoke to me and told me he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate me giving him a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bâ&#x20AC;? for the year. He thought I should have given him a better grade.

My reply to him, which I said in haste, was that he was correct. I should have given him what he earned. The only way he was awarded the grade he got for the year was because of the promise I made, during the first semester, for the first one to get the answer to the puzzle, which he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

change weekly. The prayer breakfasts are being held at the American Legion Building on Tate St. in Corinth. Post membership is not required to attend. Donations for breakfast will be accepted. For more information, call 662-462-5815.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You were once aliensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; serves as reminder we are all immigrants Am I the only person who gets tired of hearing people complain about aliens and â&#x20AC;&#x153;illegalâ&#x20AC;? immigrants?

Sure, I know Lora Ann some of the immigrants are in AmerHuff ica without going Back Porch through the â&#x20AC;&#x153;legalâ&#x20AC;? process required to be in line for citizenship in this country. I also know that some of these folks did probably come here with ill intentions. â&#x20AC;Ś But I also believe the vast majority came to the United States in desperate hope of finding a better way of life and making money to improve living conditions for their families. Most of them are hard workers and really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care what the temperature is or what the task is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asked to do. They get busy and do it!

Are you ever reminded of the verses in the Bible which tell us not to â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrong or oppress an alien, because you were once aliens in the landâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? speaking of when the Israelites were aliens in Egypt. They were treated well in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;foreign landâ&#x20AC;? until Joseph died and eventually younger Egyptian leaders, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember Joseph, took over and began to oppress the Israelites to the breaking point.

The words â&#x20AC;&#x153;you were once aliensâ&#x20AC;? always reminds me that there are none among us, except the Native Americans, whose ancestors were not once an alien or immigrant in this country. And yes, there were probably some of them who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fill out the necessary paperwork.

At least, we know the first explorers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. They were just happy to make a new discovery.

History tells us that the first â&#x20AC;&#x153;pilgrimsâ&#x20AC;? who landed in America would not have survived if the

do on his own. At this time he was walking away but I had to tell him his grades were below normal and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he really earned. Be grateful for what I gave you!

There are so many in our country who are just like this young man. They want all the answers given to them so that they can prosper at someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expense. They are not willing to put forth the effort of trying to solve their own problems, let alone, anyone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problem. It is all about them and if anyone tries to help or teach them something new, they are not interested.

This young man has very successful and well educated parents. His brother is a highly motivated coach and teacher. I wish I knew where this young man is today and I hope that he continued to get an education and learned to listen from those who are more experienced than he is.

I know he went to church and I hope he learned from where true wisdom comes.

In Proverbs 1:7 it tells us, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.â&#x20AC;?

Prayer: Father God I give you all of the praise for where I am today. Thank you for your word and thank you for leading me. I pray that I will and can be the example you want me to be. Amen.

Native Americans had not shown mercy and taught them how to grow vegetables and forage for food. Then eventually, after receiving good things from the natives and gaining a little ground, more immigrants arrived and soon an infant nation began to develop.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too bad the pilgrimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; descendants soon forgot they themselves were once immigrants and began to act like they owned the whole country, leading to oppression for the Native Americans. The Indians were gradually pushed off their God-given land. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to think about it so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually read all the stories and history of the ordeal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too depressing!

I do, however, try to put myself in the shoes of the underdog â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether Native American or immigrant of today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and believe they deserve mercy and kindness unless they have done some terrible crime against someone. All of our ancestors were once immigrants in some category, and history records that many of them went through tough times and suffered ridicule and prejudice.

My motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ancestors were Irish and I understand that many of the Irish settlers were treated very badly when they first tried to make their way in this new land.

Reports say that when â&#x20AC;&#x153;help wantedâ&#x20AC;? signs were posted in the northeast offering new jobs, many of the signs read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Irish need not apply.â&#x20AC;?

How sad is that! â&#x20AC;Ś So before we start judging the newcomers to this country, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take a look back at our own roots. We might find some things we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know or have conveniently forgotten. If our ancestors hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been allowed to come into this â&#x20AC;&#x153;land of plenty,â&#x20AC;? we ourselves would be in one of those â&#x20AC;&#x153;foreignâ&#x20AC;? countries today, probably dreaming of a better day and better way.
