Students won’t make up snow days BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth School District students will not have to make up this winter’s snow and ice days. Following an attorney general’s opinion and guidance from the Mississippi Department of Education, the school board on Monday amended the school

calendar to 177 student days to reflect the inclement weather waiver. Corinth students missed five days during a series of winter storms in late February and the first week of March. The calendar had two built-in snow days, leaving three days the district would otherwise have been

forced to reschedule. While state law requires a 180-day calendar, it contains some apparently conflicting provisions dealing with inclement weather. The AG’s opinion was sought by the state to clear that up. In order to get the waiver, the district had to submit docu-

mentation showing the superintendent has the authority to declare a weather emergency and close school. Districts that do not have have a written policy giving that authority will have to make up missed days up to four in total. If more than four were missed, those districts have the option

of adding an hour or more to school days to make up the rest. If the storms had hit earlier in the year, the outcome might have been different for Corinth students. “If this had happened, let’s say, in January, and we had Please see SCHOOLS | 2A

Timber company adds over 50 jobs BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

A Crossroads area timber company is helping grow the economy with a multi-million dollar expansion that will add over 50 new jobs. Pro South has announced plans to add a sawmill to its facility on new Highway 30 in Prentiss County, a $2.75 million investment by the company that will bring 57 new jobs. The diversified timber company operates logging, trucking, timber purchasing and

wood yard services divisions. The new sawmill will produce a variety of processed lumber and timber products. “We are excited about the future of our company and for the new job creation in our own hometown as a result of this latest sawmill project,” said Pro South President Russell Stites. “By diversifying our business, we are seeking to provide enhanced job security and longevity for all of our employees, new Please see JOBS | 2A

Valerie Norton knew at a young age she wanted to be a doctor. Her mother has the picture to prove it. “I always wanted to be like my family doctor,” said Dr. Norton, D.O. “He (Dr. David Walt) looks a lot like Santa Claus and is the type person who always knows who you are every time he sees you … he was who I wanted to be.” Dr. Norton, a Cleveland,

Miss. native, came to Magnolia Regional Health Center for her third year of medical school in 2010. An internal medicine physician who works only with adults, she completed her three years of residency in July of 2014. “My husband (Allen) and I knew we wanted to stick around here,” said Norton. “Allen and I are both smalltown people and the medical advancement here in Corinth just pulled me in.” Dr. Norton, who graduated

Magna Cum Laude with a BS degree in Biology from Delta State University, settled on Magnolia Regional Health Center after completing her Medical Degree at Kansas City University of Medicine & Biosciences, Kansas City, Mo. “Corinth was close to home,” said Norton, a current member of the Mississippi Osteopathic Medical Association, American Osteopathic Association and American College of OsPlease see NORTON | 2A

Two people are charged with kidnapping after their alleged victim escaped from their vehicle at a Corinth convenience store. Keith Allen Dotson, 29, and Alicia Denise Dotson, 46, of Prentiss County were arrested Monday and charged with kidnapping. Bond has not yet been set and both remain in custody. Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar said the pair are accused of kidnapping an adult male on the night of Sunday, March 1. Witnesses called Corinth police after they saw

the victim escape from the accused kidnappers and struggle as the suspects attempted to regain control of him. The victim was transported to Magnolia Regional Health Center to be treated for his injuries. Investigators with the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department developed information leading them to a residence on County Road 8401 in Jumpertown where additional evidence was found linking the Dotsons to the kidnapping. Tolar expressed appreciation for the Corinth Police Department’s assistance in the case.

Water line flushing ‘on tap’ for April BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Fresh and clean. The City of Corinth Gas & Water Department will begin the process next month to ensure their approximately 7,500 customers continue to receive that type of water. Beginning in April, the department is starting the annual process of flushing its water distribution system throughout the city. The procedure is expected to continue into May.

“It generally takes about five to six weeks,” said assistant general manager Chris Latch. “We try to do it about the same time every year.” A pair of gas and water employees are slated to handle the process of flushing around 1,000 hydrants. The routine procedure is set to start around 8 p.m. and continue until 5 a.m. “It’s done at night to minimize the inconvenience to our customers,” said Latch. “We hope most people will be

through washing clothes and taking baths by around 10 p.m.” Work to flush the system starts on a Sunday night and goes through Thursday evening. “This is something we have been doing since about 1998,” said Latch. “It’s a recommended practice by the health department and helps condition the water pipes … it is also a good program for us check the condi-

Ole Miss defends chancellor firing tions.” A review completed in September by the Ridgeland-based accounting firm of Matthews, Cutrer and Lindsay found numerous violations of College Board policy. All contracts over $100,000 are to be voted on by the board, as well as most leases. In at least six cases, UMMC sought retroactive approval for contracts and leases. But in more than 60 other cases, no approval was ever sought, the firm said. In other cases, contracts had no spending limits or completion dates, or showed that UMMC spent more than the amount negotiated by itself or the state’s Department of Information Technology Services. In at least 29 cases, contracts expired and UMMC continued paying vendors on a month-to-month basis without board approval. Board members told Jones in an executive session last Thursday that they didn’t intend to renew his contract, which expires in September. On Friday, they voted 9-2 to begin a search for a new chancellor. The move took many Ole Miss supporters by surprise. Jones had been chancellor since 2009, and led UMMC before then. Jones and his supporters reject the idea that

JACKSON — Members of Mississippi’s College Board said they aren’t backing down from a decision to seek a new chancellor for the University of Mississippi, despite rising criticism of the move. Board members, commenting publicly after an executive session lasting more than an hour, said Dan Jones never resolved problems with contract and financial management at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. The members said the board had pushed repeatedly for a resolution of those problems without success over the years. “This led to our conclusion that the only practical way to deal with this ... was to make a change in the institutional head,” said Alan Perry, the board’s incoming president. But supporters of the chancellor said he has been a strong leader and are resisting moves to force him out. UMMC has a budget of $1.6 billion this year, about 38 percent of the entire budget of $4.2 billion for all eight universities, and Perry said trustees wouldn’t be doing their job if they didn’t “exercise our appropriate control over their financial transac-

tion of our hydrants.” According to Latch, it is necessary to periodically flush water through the main lines in order to protect the quality of drinking water. The volume of water released through a fire hydrant quickly flushes off sediment which accumulates on the bottom of the water mains and helps keep the water in the sys-

tem fresh and clean. Customers are advised the flushing could cause a temporary discoloring of water in certain areas. Individuals should check household water before using. Should a red-water problem persist, customers can call the gas and water department at 286-2263 during the regular business hours of 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on Monday-Friday.

some sufficient holidays or some sufficient time to make up these three days, I would say we should then give strong consideration to doing that,” said Superintendent Lee Childress. “Because of this happening at the end of February and the first of March and happening right before spring break, it just wasn’t logical to go during spring break.” Many people already had plans for spring

calling for Jones’ reinstatement. “I think their decision was egregious and without foundation,” Khayat said. Anthony Papa, president of the Gertrude C. Ford Foundation, said Monday that the foundation will retract the $20 million it’s promised for a new science building at Ole Miss unless the College Board retains Jones. “For them to treat him this way, I just think it’s a dirty trick,” Papa said. Papa said he wasn’t coordinating his opposition with other donors, but wants to. “The large donors need to get together and discuss this and see what we can do about it,” he said. Barksdale said he wasn’t sure if he would withhold his money, because it could hurt students who benefit from scholarships. As such donors mull their options, Perry is appealing for people to take a step back. “We were trying to do our best to make the best decisions we can for the University of Mississippi and its staff,” he said. “It will do no good to anyone, least of all Ole Miss, to continue in a prolonged and rancorous public dispute. More injury can be done than I expect any of us can imagine.”

additions and long-termers alike, that make this growth opportunity possible.” Local officials greeted the announcement with enthusiasm. “The Prentiss County Board of Supervisors is always pleased to see a local company be successful and grow. We are excited about the job opportunities that this project represents and we hope to see more in the future,” said Board of Supervisors President Mike Kesler. Prentiss County Development Association Executive Director Leon Hays said they’re grateful to everyone involved in helping the local company continue its investment in the community. “PCDA is proud to have another home grown success story continue to be realized in Pro South. We value the partnerships that were utilized at the state and local levels to make this expansion possible. Most of all we are grateful for the promise job growth available to the residents of Prentiss County,” said Hays. The Mississippi Development Authority played a key role in supporting the transportation and reassembly of equipment for the project and in assisting with workforce training. “MDA is dedicated to strengthening the state’s economy through investment and job creation, and we are glad to have assisted Pro South as it grows in Prentiss County and provides nearly 60 new job opportunities for the area’s residents,” said MDA Executive Director Brent Christensen. “We thank our partners at Prentiss County and the Prentiss County Development Association for working with us to help this great company expand.” Governor Phil Bryant expressed appreciation for the company’s investment. “I am grateful to the Pro South team for its commitment to Mississippi and Prentiss County. Part of what makes Mississippi work is the continued growth of existing businesses,” said Bryant “I am very pleased to see Pro South expand and wish the company continued success in north Mississippi.”

the problems are serious enough to deny him a new contract. Jones said in a phone interview that he should be judged on his larger successes. “I kept asking the board to look at the macro markers, the macro indicators,” he said. Venture capitalist and major donor Jim Barksdale, who attended Monday’s meeting, said he serves on a financial advisory committee at UMMC and agreed with Jones’ assessment. “The things he listed are, in my opinion, things you just take care of,” Barksdale said. “You don’t fire someone.” Faculty and students vow continued protests. It’s unclear if they can create enough pressure to lead the board to reconsider, but they’re hauling in big names including former star quarterback Archie Manning, whose family recently agreed to help solicit donations for UMMC. “It is my hope that somehow the decision not to renew Dr. Jones’ contract can be reconsidered if possible,” Manning said in a statement. “I know full well how rare it is to find a talented, caring, and dedicated leader.” The alumni association and former chancellor Robert Khayat are also

In light of the developments at the state level, the Alcorn School District Board of Education had a special meeting scheduled Tuesday evening to consider the missed days. The county school board had already scheduled several make-up days.

teopathic Internists. “My sister lived in Tupelo and was about to have a baby at the time, so it worked out perfect.” During her five years in the area, Norton has already built relationships with many patients. “I am a people person,” she said. “I really like patient care and want to get to know them … I have always been the type of person who looks at patients as being part of my family.” The personal touch with patients matters, according to Norton. “We laugh, joke and cry together,” she said. “When you can do that, it makes the hard times better.” Being only 31 years-old, Norton said it took some time for patients to warm up to her. “The first thing they say is ‘you are awful young,’” she said with a smile. “I try to learn as much about them as I can. It takes a little bit, but I am able to get close to them and they trust me.”

Dr. Valerie Norton believes in the personal touch with patients. The doctor doesn’t beat around the bush though when it comes to the wellbeing of her patients. “I am straight forward with them,” she said. “If they need to quit smoking, that’s what I am going to tell them to do.” Norton, expecting her first child in May, spends at least 12 hours a day

Today in History Today is Wednesday, March 25, the 84th day of 2015. There are 281 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 25, 1965, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. led 25,000 people to the Alabama state capitol in Montgomery after a five-day march from Selma to protest the denial of voting rights to blacks. Later that day, civil rights activist Viola Liuzzo, a white Detroit homemaker, was shot and killed by Ku Klux Klansmen as she drove a black volunteer to the airport.

On this date: In 1306, Robert the Bruce was crowned King of Scots. In 1634, English colonists sent by Lord Baltimore arrived in presentday Maryland. In 1776, Gen. George Washington, commander of the Continental Army, was awarded the first Congressional Gold Medal by the Continental Congress. In 1865, during the Civil War, Confederate forces attacked Fort Stedman in Virginia but were forced to withdraw because of counterattacking Union troops. In 1911, 146 people, mostly young female immigrants, were killed when fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Co. in New York. In 1915, the U.S. Navy lost its first commissioned submarine as the USS F-4 sank off Hawaii, claiming the lives of all 21 crew members. In 1924, the Second Hellenic Republic was proclaimed in Greece. In 1947, a coal mine explosion in Centralia, Illinois, claimed 111 lives. In 1954, RCA announced it had begun producing color television sets at its plant in Bloomington, Indiana. In 1975, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia was shot to death by a nephew with a history of mental illness. In 1985, “Amadeus” won eight Academy Awards, including best picture, best director for Milos Forman and best actor for F. Murray Abraham. In 1990, 87 people, most of them Honduran and Dominican immigrants, were killed when fire raced through an illegal social club in New York City.

Event to talk crisis, outlook overseas Staff Reports

Attendees will gain new insight into the growing crisis overseas and the future outlook for Israel as they gather in the banquet room of the Crossroads Arena for the Inaugural Israel / Middle Eastern Conference. Slated for 6 p.m. on Thursday, the patriotic meeting will break down political barriers and bring together citizens from all parties. Sponsored by the Alcorn, Prentiss, Tippah and Tishomingo Republican Party as a gift to their neighbors and fellow Americans, the conference encourages patriotic unity and mutual respect. “Regardless of race, background or creed, we want everyone to be there because we are all Americans,” said Mike Stewart. “This is something which affects each and every one of us and we as countrymen and women need to stick together.” Supporting the Combat Soldiers of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), Mr.

Seth Baron, Executive Director of Friends of the Israeli Defense Force (FIDF), South East Region will travel from Atlanta, Georgia specifically for the conference. “Personally, I am very pleased to have been invited to speak at this conference as I represent the soldiers who serve in the IDF,” said Baron who will be the keynote speaker. “I will address the threats which face the State of Israel, explain how FIDF assists the soldiers and tell a few stories about the soldiers who serve.” According to Baron, Israel continues to face strategic threats on a day-to-day basis, with Hezbollah to the North in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza and a horrible Civil War raging in Syria. “It is the brave men and women of the IDF that continue to protect the Holy Land of Israel, all religious sites and its citizens,” he said. “They deserve our support.” The executive director described Iran as the single biggest issue facing

the Middle East today. “Israel is continually threatened to be wiped off the face of the earth. As Israel’s strongest ally, we in the United States must do everything in our power to make certain Iran does not become a nuclear state,” said Baron. “In the meantime, our support of the IDF is tantamount to the future of Israel.” Continuing the informative session, Retired Brigadier General Robert F. Thomas, Director of State Resources in the Mississippi National Guard will speak on America as it sits at a critical crossroads, poised for National disintegration or National unity. “Each of us must understand that we, ourselves define the future of the United States of America,” said Thomas. “We as Americans must be aware that the only thing necessary for evil to grow and mature is for good people to do nothing; a concept not new to us, for patriots such as George Washington,

cally one message: removing the Infidel from their lands (later, destroying the Infidel, so they won’t come back). That was like Nancy Reagan’s ‘Just Say No’ campaign; a negative message with no positive element.” “IS offers nothing less than the reestablishment of the glory of Islam. That is a whole different ballgame. That is not ‘Just say No’ – that is just say yes and is a much stronger, more positive message. It’s one that inspires pride,” he continued. “We will look at this theory in more detail, and explore possible solutions.” With limited seating, guests are encouraged to arrive early at the conference and are invited, but not obligated to bring sandwiches, finger-foods, drinks and utensils. “We are planning for a large turn-out and hope everyone will join us as we inspire unity and patriotism during this free event,” said Stewart. “It is going to be interesting as well as educational.”

Purifoy’s work on display at weekend concert The Associated Press

COLUMBUS — On the eve of the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War’s final knell, the Columbus Choral Society, together with visiting singers from Tennessee, Florida and the Golden Triangle area, and the Starkville/MSU Symphony Orchestra, will present “Chronicles of Blue and Gray” March 28. Composer John Purifoy’s work is, in part a musical setting of Francis Miles Finch’s poem “The Blue and the Gray.” On April 25, 1866, women in Columbus gathered to place flowers on the graves of not only Confederate but also Union soldiers at what is now Friendship Cemetery. The act of treating the dead as equals, despite the lingering rancor of war, made national headlines. On reading of it in the New York Tribune, Finch, a lawyer in Ithaca, New York, was inspired to write his poem. The decorating of graves in Columbus is often cited as an origin of Decoration Day, later renamed Memorial Day. A native of Canada, Columbus Choral Society director Alisa Toy wasn’t aware of the local significance when

she discovered Purifoy’s work while searching for a keystone piece for the Columbus-based group. The first time she brought it to rehearsal the emotional response from chorus members let her know it was a meaningful choice. “It is moving, powerful and beautiful — and the messages contained in it are still so pertinent today,” said Toy. “It was absolutely our signature piece in every way, shape and form.” Toy’s choosing that particular music before she was even aware of the specific link is only the first in a string of improbable occurrences. It includes Purifoy discovering the Choral Society through a YouTube video of its singers performing an excerpt, which led to an invitation to perform “Chronicles of Blue and Gray” with others at Carnegie Hall this past June and meeting the composer. That led to Saturday’s concert, which will bring Purifoy himself full circle, one might say, to the place that helped inspire his work from afar — to the hospital town that nursed soldiers from both sides

WHAT: “Chronicles of Blue and Gray” WHO: Columbus Choral Society, with area choirs and visiting singers, and Starkville/MSU Symphony Orchestra WHEN: Saturday, March 28, 8 p.m. WHERE: Mississippi University for Women’s Rent Auditorium, Columbus TICKETS: Free to attend, but tickets are required to ensure seating. after the bloody Battle of Shiloh, to the gravesites decorated almost 150 years ago, and to the home, Twelve Gables, where four women first met to plan it, unknowingly inspiring a poem. A mass choir of at least 130 singers and a 35-piece orchestra will bring the hour-long composition to Whitfield Hall’s Rent Auditorium on the Mississippi University for Women campus Saturday at 8 p.m. The performance includes audio and visual displays relating to the era.

The one-time event will usher in Columbus’ 75th anniversary of its Spring Pilgrimage of antebellum homes and sites. “This is a once-in-alifetime event,” said Toy, of the presentation sponsored in part by the Leslie Threadgill Foundation, Columbus-Lowndes Convention & Visitors Bureau and Columbus Cultural Heritage Foundation. Purifoy’s work was commissioned by the Knoxville Choral Society to honor its conductor and artistic director, Dr. Eric Thorson. The Tennessee ensemble gave the world premiere performance of the piece in November 2012. “Chronicles of Blue and Gray” weaves American folk songs, spirituals and rallying and battle cries with tunes and lyrics from the Civil War period. Texts from Lincoln’s inaugurals, the Gettysburg Address, the Emancipation Proclamation, secession proclamations, soldiers’ letters and Finch’s poem are set to musical choral statements. “I lived with the poem and these texts for a long time,” said Purifoy, who composed the piece over

a two year-period. “I wept many tears as I wrote it.” For Columbus history teacher and choral society member Deb Shelton, the impact of Purifoy’s entire piece is strong. “The mixing of the music and the history for me is almost impossible to put into words. I’ve taught this my whole life, trying to help my students to think about this and understand it and what it meant. This brings it home, makes it more real. This is an inspired event,” she said. By rough count, more than 1,000 headstones in Friendship Cemetery mark the final resting places of Civil War soldiers. The Union dead were long ago relocated to burial sites nearer their homes. The names and markers, and thousands more like them throughout the country, are at the heart of “Chronicles of Blue and Gray.” Saturday’s concert commemorates the sesquicentennial of the end of a terrible war and honors the brave ladies in a small Mississippi town who decorated the graves of those who gave their lives from both armies.

Clintons have carefully cloaked foreign money BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

Bill and Hillary Clinton have carefully cloaked the foreign money they’ve accepted in the garb of charitable fundraising. But alongside the hundreds of millions donated to their Foundation were tens of millions of personal income from foreign sources, devoid of disguise, a naked example of using political power for personal enrichment. Nowhere has this transaction been as apparent as in their relationship with the United Arab Emirates. In return for millions in speaking and consulting fees related to the UAE — fees that went right into their personal bank accounts — the former president and secretary of state — and possible future president — showered favors on the rulers that run this repressive and anti-Semitic government. It’s hard to grasp the distinction — if there is any – between fees Bill earned and outright payments to his wife for her influence. For example, during, his wife’s tenure as secretary — Bill collected $1,175,000 for three speeches in the UAE. One, for $500,000 from a government agency — the Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Data Initiative, was OK’d by the State Department ethics police. That was the quid (along with the $8 million to $30 million sent to the Foundation by the UAE). The quo was an ongoing campaign to rehabilitate the image of this regime that ranks in Freedom House’s second-lowest category in human rights. After the revelation that two of the 9/11 hijackers — and much of the money that financed them in the U.S. — came from the UAE, the Emirates needed a major image upgrade. Enter Bill Clinton. In 2002, he began speaking in the UAE and recognized the potential gravy train. That is also when he joined billionaire Ron Burkle’s Yucaipa Co. That was the Clinton’s real gold mine, netting them more than $15 million from 2002-2007. His buyout in 2008 was estimated at up to $20 million. Bill was indispensable: He delivered Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, Prime Minister of Dubai, to Yucaipa and a three-way partnership began among Burkle, Clinton and the sheik to create an offshore sovereign fund. In 2005, Clinton advised Dubai on the controversial Dubai port deal. Hillary publicly opposed the deal, but didn’t oppose the $10 million that had already gone into their accounts from Yucaipa. Clinton continuously raised the profile of the UAE by creating a Clinton Scholarship Program at the American University in Dubai and partnering with two other Dubai based firms – GEMS schools and the Varkey Foundation. His take from them is unknown. He made introductions and brought in close associates as investors in the UAE like Teneo, NYU and McLarty Associates. Bill’s a real regular over there. On Monday, he was in Dubai, speaking alongside the sheik at the Hult International Business School, a partner of the Clinton Global Initiative. But it was Hillary who did the heavy lifting in delivering to the UAE what it most craved – international respect. In September 2012, the secretary of state hosted a Global Infrastructure Conference at the State Department for 90 CEOs or high-level American executives to learn about investment opportunities in the UAE and three other countries. Seven UAE officials joined Hillary in addressing the conference. Several months later, Hillary promoted the first Global Entrepreneurship Summit, also sponsored by the State Department, in Dubai, bringing investors and entrepreneurs from all over the world into the UAE. Now, finally, the UAE was publicly legitimized by the U.S., during Hillary’s last days in office. Bill and Hillary set up a gigantic moneymaking machine, trading on her power as secretary of state and her potential to be the next president. The question for us is: Are we willing to let them take it to the next level? (Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer.

Will the GOP kick it away? With Hillary Clinton scrambling to explain her missing emails, much of America is wailing, “Please don’t make us watch this movie again!” Why, then, would the Republican Party, with a chance to sweep it all in 2016, want to return us to the nightmare days of George W., which caused America to rise up and throw the party out in 2006 and 2008? Do Republicans really believe that America wants a return to the Cold War with Moscow and new and larger hot wars in the Middle East? With President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry seemingly about to conclude a deal to freeze Iran’s nuclear program, House Speaker John Boehner invited Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu to use the State of the Union podium to call Obama and Kerry naive and trash their deal as paving the ayatollah’s way to an atomic bomb. For the U.S. House to invite a foreign leader to come into its chambers and see that leader, on national television, mocking U.S. foreign policy to wild cheering was something few of us expected to see in our lifetimes. Came then the astonishing letter drafted by Tom Cotton, a 2-month-old senator who makes Ted Cruz look like Ramsey Clark, that was signed by 47 Republicans. Sent to the ayatollah and

mullahs, the Cotton letter instructed Iran that any deal signed by Kerry might not Pat be worth the Buchanan paper it was written on. Columnist Congress could reject the deal, said the 47, and a new president in 2017 could cancel it with “the stroke of a pen.” The letter’s purpose was the same as Bibi’s purpose — to scuttle, sabotage and sink any U.S. nuclear deal with Iran. But if there is no deal and Iran returns to enriching uranium to 20 percent, we are on the road to war. Is this what America has to look forward to if it votes GOP? GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, mulling a presidential run, has called Kerry “delusional” and charged Obama with timidity. Why? Because, said Lindsey, “he didn’t call Putin the thug that he is.” Is this what America wants, a president who will call the ruler of Russia, who has thousands of nuclear weapons and is supported by 85 percent of its people, a “thug”? Is that presidential leadership? How does name-calling advance U.S. interests? At the Munich security conference in February, Sen. John McCain compared the negotiations in

Minsk, Belarus, among German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and Vladimir Putin to what happened in Munich in 1938. Yet the Minsk truce is holding. Ukrainians are not dying, as of today. And the Germans are meeting to bail out Ukraine and prevent that bankrupt country from going belly up. Yet last week, McCain said German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier belongs “in the Neville Chamberlain school of diplomacy.” Said McCain, this “is the same guy that refuses – and his government – to enact any restrictions on the behavior of Vladimir Putin, who is slaughtering Ukrainians as we speak. He has no credibility.” A former presidential nominee, McCain is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Does he speak for the party? Will America applaud an arms airlift to prod a destitute Ukraine into fighting Russia to reimpose Kiev’s rule over the Russian-speaking Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea, in a war Ukrainians cannot win and NATO Europe will not fight? Yet undeniably, inside the GOP, the day of the hawk is again at hand. Sen. Cotton, whose tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan give him a street cred that other GOP hawks do not have, is mak-

ing no apologies, not backing down, driving the debate and being emulated by the GOP presidential hopefuls. Sen. Rand Paul signed his letter, as did Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. And the Republicans are betting, probably correctly, that the invitation to Bibi to dis Obama and elevate the menace of Iran will sit well with a Jewish community that historically votes Democratic. But short-term gains could be canceled out by long-term losses. If Kerry comes home with a deal to which Germany, Britain, France, Russia, China and the U.N. Security Council have signed on, will Congress spend two years trying to scuttle it? Will Congress refuse to lift sanctions on Iran even if all our principal allies have done so? In addition to bellicosity, the GOP seems to suffer from inconsistency. Even as it seeks to strip Obama of his power to close a deal with Iran, it is trying to give him a blank check to fight ISIS. And who is fighting the Islamic State today in Tikrit, Iraq? The Shiite militia and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Will Hispanics fire up America? “Firing up America” is the cover line on the March 20 issue of The Economist, heralding a 16-page special report on America’s Latinos. Its tone is resolutely upbeat — perhaps a bit too much so. “America is lucky to have millions of energetic young people filling its schools with kids who will eventually pay taxes and fund pensions and health care for the old,” The Economist writes. “Like other immigrants, they talk a lot about the American Dream. By that they mean the baby boomers’ hopes of home ownership, a college education and upward mobility.” Unfortunately, it’s not clear how many young Hispanics will achieve those elements of the American dream or whether they’ll provide quite as bounteous a source of funding for Social Security and Medicare as The Economist’s cheery summary suggests. As the article notes, successive generations of Hispanics are not, so far, turning out to be as upwardly mobile as some other immigrant groups. Secondgeneration Hispanics have more negative health outcomes, higher divorce rates and higher incarceration rates than their immigrant

elders. In my 2001 book “The New Americans,” I likened the Hispanic imMichael migrants of Barone today to the Italians who Columnist came through Ellis Island a century ago. Both came from low-trust societies; both tended to have close family ties and a willingness to work hard. Both headed to big metro areas with lots of job opportunities. But so far the Hispanics who crossed the southern border don’t seem to have moved upward as rapidly as Italian-Americans did in the last century. There are some encouraging signs, as The Economist points out. Teenage pregnancy rates have been declining among Hispanics, as among blacks and nonHispanic whites. Perhaps as they grow older, these Millennials’ marriage rates will be higher and divorce rates lower than those who are just a little older. We can hope, but we don’t know. What we do know is something The Economist mostly skates over: The vast immigration from Latin America, mostly from Mexico, between 1982 and 2007, is

over — at least for now. Net migration from Mexico in 2007-12 was zero, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. One result is that an increasing majority of young Hispanics here were born here, and so are U.S. citizens. That means that, absent a new wave of illegal immigrants, the debate over legalization and/or a path to citizenship will become less relevant over time. The immigration restrictionists who argued that the “pause” in immigration after the restrictive 1924 legislation encouraged assimilation now have something like the pause for which they called. At the same time, racial quotas and preferences give Hispanics – or at least Hispanic group leaders and politicians – a vested interest in maintaining a separate racial identity. The federal government created the Hispanic category in the 1970s on the theory that Hispanics had suffered or would suffer similar adverse treatment to that of blacks. Historically, that’s wrong: Slavery and segregation, as black history scholars rightly teach, were unique. AntiHispanic segregation was spotty and had essentially disappeared before the 19822007 immigration wave. An interesting question

going forward is the persistence of Hispanic identity. One-quarter of recent Hispanic marriages have been to non-Hispanics. Will their children identify themselves as Hispanics on Census forms? Census bureaucrats are contemplating rewriting their questions so more people will describe themselves as both Hispanic and non-white. That points to an America in which a majority of citizens are classified as minorities eligible for benefits and preferences. As Christopher Caldwell argues in the Claremont Review, there is a tension between that state of affairs and the national motto of e pluribus unum. The Economist rightly argues that America’s Hispanics can be a national asset. But how much of an asset depends on whether they can be assimilated and encouraged to move upward as the Ellis Islanders were a century ago.

Tennessee shooting kills one, hurts four CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Police say one person has died and four others were injured in a shooting near a college campus in northern Tennessee. Clarksville Police spokeswoman Natalie Hall says officers responded just before 9 p.m. Monday to a report of shots fired. She says although the shooting happened about two blocks from Austin Peay State University, police have no reason to believe it had anything to do with the school. Hall says 27-year-old Vincent Pardue died, and the others were taken to area hospitals with “serious injuries.” Police said the five were having a cookout at a home when they came under gunfire. Police are searching for a white Kia Soul seen leaving the area.

Bombers fired 56 bullets at police BOSTON — The Boston Marathon bombers fired 56 bullets at police during a violent confrontation days after the 2013 attack, a ballistics expert testified Tuesday during the federal death penalty trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. State Police Lt. David Cahill said 56 shell casings from a 9mm semi-automatic Ruger handgun were found at the scene of a battle in Watertown between Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan, and police April 19, 2013.

The same Ruger gun had been used to kill Massachusetts Institute of Technology police Officer Sean Collier hours earlier, Cahill said. Police fired 210 bullets during the battle, the lieutenant said. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s lawyers say it was Tamerlan who shot Collier and used the gun during the battle with police. Dzhokhar is charged in the bombings, in Collier’s shooting and in the Watertown confrontation. Tamerlan, 26, died after the shootout. Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured in the marathon bombings. A close friend testified last week that he let Dzhokhar borrow the Ruger handgun about two months before the marathon bombings after Dzhokhar told him he wanted to rob some students from the University of Rhode Island. The friend, Stephen Silva, said he asked Dzhokhar repeatedly to return the gun to him, but he “kept coming up with excuses” for why he did not bring it back.

Spinach recalled after listeria scare SAN FRANCISCO — Three organic food companies that use spinach in their food have recalled hundreds of thousands of items over listeria concerns. Organic food company Amy’s Kitchen has voluntarily recalled about 74,000 cases of frozen and prepackaged products containing spinach. It comes after one of Amy’s suppliers is-

sued a recall notice saying the Petalumabased company may have received organic spinach possibly tainted with the bacteria that causes listeria. U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials are aware of the recall. The disease can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Sheen to receive honorary degree DAYTON, Ohio —The University of Dayton will give actor Martin Sheen an honorary degree in recognition of his activism for peace, social justice and human rights. Born Ramon Estevez, Sheen grew up near the Catholic university and had attended the Catholic Chaminade high school but wanted to pursue his acting career. He has said the Marianist teachings he was exposed to helped shape his social beliefs. Sheen’s many acclaimed roles have included performances as president in the TV series “The West Wing,” a killer on a violent spree in the movie “Badlands” and a soldier on a grim mission in “Apocalypse Now.”

Coroner: Keyboard duster killed teen KILN — Authorities say a teenage boy died Sunday apparently as a result of inhaling aerosol computer keyboard duster. According to local media reports, Hancock County Coroner Jim Faulk identified the victim as 14-year-old Charles Stroud of Picayune. Faulk says Stroud showed signs of inhaling the chemicals found in an air duster or gas duster, used to clean computer keyboards. Faulk says butane is one among the chemicals found in the air

duster and it along with others can deprive the brain of oxygen. Stroud was taken to Hancock Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

No wrongdoing seen in jail inmate death GULFPORT — A Harrison County grand jury has found no foul play in the death of a jail inmate who became ill and was taken to a hospital Aug. 5, 2013. The Sun Herald reports the finding of no criminal conduct in the death of Gregory Lynn Woodall, 50, was released by the District Attorney’s Office on Monday. Authorities said Woodall was having trouble breathing and was taken to Garden Park Medical Center in Gulfport. At the time, Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove said Woodall died “of natural disease progression.” The ruling was one of three involving deaths included in the final re-

port of a grand jury that ended its six-month term in Gulfport this month. The rulings were partial reports containing few details.

Utah to use firing squads if drugs unavailable The Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah became the only state to allow firing squads for executions if lethal injection drugs are unavailable when Gov. Gary Herbert signed a law approving the method,

even though he has called it “a little bit gruesome.” The Republican governor has said Utah is a capital punishment state and needs a backup execution method in case a shortage of the drugs persists. “We regret anyone ever

commits the heinous crime of aggravated murder to merit the death penalty, and we prefer to use our primary method of lethal injection when such a sentence is issued,” Herbert spokesman Marty Carpenter said. How-

ever, enforcing death sentences is “the obligation of the executive branch.” The governor’s office noted other states allow execution methods other than lethal injection. In Washington state, inmates can request hanging. In New Hampshire, hangings are a fallback if lethal injections can’t be given. The firing squad also is on the books in Oklahoma — but as a third option to be used only if the courts someday find lethal injection and electrocution unconstitutional. The firing squad could be bumped down even further, to Oklahoma’s fourth option, if lawmakers approve a bill that

would authorize the use of nitrogen gas as another possible method. Utah’s use of firing squad carries no such legal caveat. Under the new law, inmates would be executed by firing squad if the state is unable to get lethal injection drugs a month in advance. The proposal’s approval represents the latest example of frustration over botched executions and the difficulty of obtaining lethal injection drugs as manufacturers opposed to capital punishment have made them off-limits to prisons.

use of trained marksmen is faster and more decent than the drawn-out deaths that occur when lethal injections go awry — or even if they go as planned. Ray said he wants to settle on a backup method now so authorities are not racing to find a solution if the drug shortage persists. Ray didn’t return messages seeking comment Monday. Opponents say firing squads are barbaric, with the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah saying the bill makes the state “look backward and backwoods.” Utah lawmakers stopped offering inmates the choice of firing squad in 2004, saying the method attracted intense media interest and took away attention from victims. Utah is the only state in the past 40 years to carry out such a death sentence, with three executions by firing squad since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. The last was in 2010, when Ronnie Lee Gardner was put to death by five police officers with .30-caliber rifles. Gardner killed a bartender and later shot a lawyer to death and wounded a bailiff during a 1985 courthouse escape attempt.

What the Selma march means today 150 dead BY ANNA MCCOLLUM Guest Columnist

Despite the ice storm in Oxford just days before, it was ideal weather in Selma, Alabama, when I arrived on March 6. Driving into town, I was surprised to find my surroundings so attractive. Spanish moss drips from trees there, and colorful, historic buildings in pristine condition line Broad Street all the way to the Alabama River, where they nearly spill over the bank and the road turns into the Edmund Pettus bridge. I didn’t know what to expect from this trip, accompanied by five students from Birmingham Southern College. I wasn’t sure what I was looking for in Selma. I just wanted to be there, to recognize what had taken place, to walk across the very bridge so many had 50 years prior. Ultimately, though, I came back with stories to tell of people. People that came from all over the country, from different racial groups, and for different reasons that connected them with Selma. The first of these was George Mauldin. He approached our group at the Selma Interpretive Center, gesturing to a figure in the iconic photograph of the marchers cresting Edmund Pettus bridge on Bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965. “That’s my brother,” he said, pointing to a face just two or three people behind Hosea Williams and John Lewis, the leaders of the march. George had already graduated high school and was serving in the Army when Bloody Sunday occurred, but his little brother, Charles, was still home in Selma. At 17 years old, Charles lined up with the multitude of marchers and then witnessed a pivotal moment in the history of the United States. George said his brother wasn’t beaten that day, but he was still hurt. “You know how they talk about post traumatic stress disorder for military people? I think that’s one of the things he suffered from,” George said. “They don’t really talk about it that much.”

Charles wasn’t the only Mauldin who made history books, according to George. Ardies Mauldin, George and Charles’ mother, became the first person to register to vote in the state of Alabama under the Voting Rights Act. “Who was the second person?” George asked. “No one ever talks about number two. Number two was Thomas Mauldin, my father. He made the big mistake of opening a door for a lady … She made the history books because she was number one.” Pam Tau Lee had less direct ties to Selma than George Mauldin, yet they are equally significant. Chairperson of the Chinese Progressive Association in San Francisco Chinatown, the 67-year-old had traveled across the country to be in Selma. There, she represented Asians for Black Lives, a branch of Black Lives Matter that she and others began. “Selma is a way for me to pay homage to the thousands of people before Selma and the thousands of people after Selma who have given and dedicated their lives and have died, and the children, the men and the women,” Pam said. “But also, because of the voter rights. It set a pathway for the non-English speaking communities who are citizens — some of these ballot things and that whole system is kind of complex — to fight for multi-lingual voting rights.” And although Pam’s cause is a continual effort into the future, no one had sacrificed for the movement like Mary Liuzzo Lilleboe and Tony Liuzzo have. On March 25, 1965, their mother Viola was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan. She became the only white woman killed in the Civil Rights Movement. Although Viola had a husband and five children, she left her home in Detroit after witnessing Bloody Sunday on television. In Selma, Viola was able to help transport people involved in the movement who didn’t have cars. The night she was killed, she was taking a black man from Selma

to Montgomery via Highway 80. Allegedly, a Klan car came up beside her, and one of the men took a shot. When Viola was killed, her car ran off the road. Her passenger, however, remained unharmed. Back in Detroit, Viola’s husband got a phone call. By that time, though, news of her death had already spread. “When [my father] turned the lights on in the house at midnight March 26, the press were at our door because they released all the information to the press before they told the family,” Tony said. The crime was solved nearly overnight, for there had been an FBI informant riding in the Klan car. “We did think that Gary Thomas Rowe, who was an FBI informant, was a hero,” Mary said. “Unfortunately, the FBI came and took over the investigation, and never took fingerprints off the weapon. The same informant that was in the car with the Klan when my mother was killed was also implemented in the Birmingham church bombing. He was the guy on the front of Life magazine beating the freedom riders.” The Liuzzo children knew something was not right about their mother’s case. Tony began looking into the files on her murder and soon noticed chilling discrepancies. There were bruises on Viola’s arm. There was blood running straight down the car door when, had the car been moving, blood would have streaked down the side. Certain pieces weren’t fitting together. “I know for a fact that my mother was not driving when she was murdered,” Tony said. The children of Viola Liuzzo ended up suing the FBI. “We lost the trial and were charged $79,000 in court costs for filing frivolous laws against the government,” Mary said. But an offer was made: If the Liuzzo children dropped the case, the fee would be waived. “And we did,” Mary said. “I mean, we were pretty defeated after that.”

They haven’t given up, however. The children of Viola Liuzzo are still searching for answers about what really happened to their mother. “Don’t believe everything’s rosy,” Mary said. “It isn’t. We’re starting a campaign: Be Brave. Be brave enough to find that truth you don’t want to see.” I think that without that bravery, Selma would be just another dot on the Alabama map. It would be given no second thought by historians, civil rights workers or even the president of the United States. But instead, Selma is not only a place, but a symbol now, and its significance is unique to every person connected to the Edmund Pettus bridge in one way or another. The mass exodus after President Obama’s speech Saturday clogged Selma’s small roads, and traffic set us back an hour. It gave me an opportunity to reflect, though, and I realized that to me, the symbol of Selma is a lesson that continues to be learned. If it weren’t for what happened in Selma 50 years ago, what would my life look like today? I was born in Mississippi and go to school at Ole Miss, after all. Black people in my state have the right to vote, and my university is integrated. Strides have been made. However, we are not finished learning from Selma. And I, in particular, can learn from the people I met there. From the Mauldins: to stand up for what’s right. From Pam Tau Lee: to fight for others. And finally, from the Liuzzos: to be brave. Maybe if we take those lessons to heart, one day we’ll be able to say that we’re finally finished learning. Thank you, Selma.

in French Alps crash The Associated Press

SEYNE-LES-ALPES, France — A Germanwings jet carrying 150 people from Barcelona to Duesseldorf slammed into a remote section of the French Alps on Tuesday, sounding like an avalanche as it scattered pulverized debris across a rocky mountain and down its steep ravines. All aboard were assumed killed. The pilots sent out no distress call and had lost radio contact with their control center, France’s aviation authority said, deepening the mystery over the A320’s midflight crash after a surprise 8-minute descent. The crash left officials and families across Europe reeling in shock. Sobbing, grieving relatives at both airports were led away by airport workers and crisis counselors. One German town was rent with sorrow after losing 16 high school students coming back from an exchange program in Spain. “This is pretty much the worst thing you can imagine,” a visibly rattled Haltern Mayor Bodo Klimpel said at a hastily called press conference. As helicopters were deployed to reach the crash site, German Chancellor Angela Merkel urged reporters not to speculate on the cause. “We still don’t know much beyond the bare information on the flight, and there should be no speculation on the cause of the crash,” she said. “All that will be investigated thoroughly.” Lufthansa Vice President Heike Birlenbach told reporters in Barcelona that for now “we say it is an accident.” In Washington, the White House said American officials were in contact with their French, Spanish and German counterparts. “There is no indication of a nexus to terrorism at this time,” said U.S. National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan.

“I don’t have symptoms.” FACT: Colorectal cancer doesn’t always cause symptoms, especially early on.

“I’m only 53, I’m too young” FACT: Screening is recommended for men and women beginning at age 50.

“Why Should I Get Screened?” “I can’t afford this “It doesn’t run in test!” my family.” FACT: Most insurances now cover colon cancer screenings.

FACT: Most colorectal cancers occur in people with no family history.

Colorectal Cancer Screening Saves Lives Colorectal cancer is the 2nd leading cancer killer in the U.S. But it can be prevented. Screening helps find precancerous polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer. Screening can also find colorectal cancer early, when treatment is most effective.

• When discovered in its early stages, colorectal cancer is upp to 90% curabble. • Men and women age 50 and older should be screened regularly. • Colonoscopy is the most effective screeningg procedure when performed by an experienced gastroenterologist specializing in endoscopy.

Manufacturing barometer Economists project that U.S. durable goods orders edged higher last month. The Commerce Department reports today its tally of February durable goods orders. Orders to U.S. factories for long-lasting manufactured goods rebounded in January, notching the biggest gain in six months. The 2.8 percent increase in total orders was heavily influenced by a surge in demand in the volatile commercial aircraft category.

Dividend cuts? Commodities have taken a hit. The price of copper is down 17.6 percent since the beginning of last year, and the price of oil has been cut in half. Freeport-McMoran is a global natural resources company with mining operations as well as oil production facilities. And it is lower commodity prices that led the company to cut its quarterly dividend by 84 percent Tuesday.

The May 1 dividend payment to shareholders will be for 5 cents per share, down from 31.25 cents. Even so, Freeport-McMoran stock closed down only slightly Tuesday as many viewed the move as a prudent one. Analyst Christopher LaFemina of Jefferies reiterated his â€œbuyâ€? rating, noting that the dividend cut helps protect the companyâ€™s balance sheet until conditions improve in 2016. Historically there havenâ€™t been many dividend cuts in the energy sector, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices, but the sharp slide in oil prices may lead to more.

Average mortgage interest rates are hovering near historically low levels just as the spring home-buying season gets started. But has that spurred more would-be homebuyers to apply for a mortgage? Not consistently. The Mortgage Bankers Associationâ€™s weekly survey of mortgage applications has mostly been down in recent weeks. The MBAâ€™s latest home loan applications figures are due out today.

Crude oil cache The Energy Department reports its latest tally of U.S. crude oil stockpiles today. The nationâ€™s crude oil supplies rose two weeks ago by 2.1 percent to 458.5 million barrels. That translates to an increase of about 9.6 million barrels. An increase in the nationâ€™s crude oil inventories typically reduces the price of oil. Crude oil stocks have been rising weekly since early January.
