Severe storms sweep through South; 5 killed

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS AND JAY REEVES Associated Press

JACKSON — A Mississippi woman who desperately tried to direct rescuers to her sinking vehicle after it skidded into a rain-swollen creek was among five people killed in storms across the South.

Jacqueline Williams, 52, was running a newspaper delivery route when her car slid off a road into a creek in her hometown of Florence before dawn Monday, authorities said. She dialed 911 from the car as it went down, said Rankin County

Coroner David Ruth.

Ruth said Williams was trying to relay her location to a dispatcher as the car settled into the swirling waters. “She was trying to tell the dispatcher where she was, and she could actually hear the sirens,” Ruth said.

The two lost contact, and Ruth said a swift-water recovery team later found Williams’ body in the creek outside the car.

Florence Police Chief Richard Thomas said the current where Williams died was fast and strong.

He said authorities got a call from a woman saying her car was being swept into the water.

Authorities immediately began looking but couldn’t find her in time. Records from the county’s 911 center show the first call came at 4:35 a.m., responders were dispatched within 17 seconds and arrived at 4:42 a.m.

“It was really quick,” Thomas said.

Williams’ body was eventually recovered, and authorities pulled her small vehicle out of the water about three hours later.

Hood awaits office budget

BY SARAH SMITH Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi attorney general said Monday that he hopes cooler heads will prevail and the Legislature will pass a budget for his office.

Lawmakers finished their threemonth regular session last week without funding Attorney General Jim Hood’s office or the Department of Transportation.

Republican Gov. Phil Bryant will have to call a special session to set those budgets before the fiscal year begins July 1.

Hood, the only Democrat in statewide office, said he would prefer that Bryant call a session just for the funding bills.

Two big priorities in the Legislature — an education funding rewrite and a long-term plan to fund Mississippi’s ailing highways and bridges — did not happen during the regular session. A

multiyear plan to pay for highways and bridges was a particular sticking point between the House and the Senate.

“I’m going to keep doing my job and they can keep playing the games they’re playing over there,” Hood said of the Republican-led Legislature. “When people start leading for political reasons, or giving tax cuts or passing legislation for political reasons, the people suffer.”

Hood made his remarks during a news conference to kick off National Crime Victims’ Rights Week in Mississippi. The conference honored victim advocates and survivors of domestic violence and other crimes.

As Hood made a case for lawmakers to set a budget for his office, he pointed out that the attorney general’s office is responsible for crime victims’ compensation and for compensating both injured policeman and firefighters.

BATTLE CONTINUED FROM 1

enacted include the Battle of the Hornets Nest at 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 8 and the Battle of Grant’s Counterattack at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 9. The battles will take place on Joe Dillon Road in Michie, Tenn.

Gates open each day at 9:30 a.m. with a Ladies Tea scheduled for 11 a.m. on Saturday and a church service planned at 10 a.m. on Sunday.

A Military Ball is also slanted for 8 p.m. on Saturday night in the activity tent.

“The reenactment will feature more than 40 pieces of artillery. Some will be horse-drawn,” said Zeckman. “Both days will feature encampments and other activities throughout the day before and after the battles.”

Spectators can gain access into the battle area each day. Adults are $10 per day, children 6 to 17 are $5 per day and children under 6 can enter for free. Parking will also be charged at $5 per vehicle, per day. Due to the remote location, only cash will be accepted.

“The long range forecast looks good,” added Zeckman. “I think everything is setting up for a good battle.”

The Atlanta Campaign Inc. is a nonprofit corporation whose mission is to educate students and help preservation and restoration projects with a monetary donation wherever and whenever possible.

“We are a corporation owned by local reenactors in the Atlanta area,” said Zeckman. “After everything has been paid after a reenactment, we donate any raised funds to Civil War Trust projects.”

“We’re really excited about coming to Tennessee for the first time. Shiloh and the surrounding region is a beautiful area we can’t wait to work in. We’ll spend the entire week at Shiloh getting ready for two amazing days of battles for the public.”

Earl Zeckman Atlanta Campaign co-chairman Zeckman said his company has been producing reenactments for more than 14 years in the Atlanta area.

Next weekend’s Shiloh battle will be their first venture into Tennessee.

The two-day reenactment is only a portion of the full slate of events planned for the anniversary weekend.

The National Park Service has 21 different hikes, programs and tours scheduled for April 5-9 at Shiloh National Military Park.

The reenactment is not held on National Park Service land.

Judge delays trial for Rolling Fork mayor JACKSON — A judge is delaying the trial of a Mississippi Delta mayor accused of defrauding the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Hinds County Circuit Judge Winston Kidd on Monday put off the trial of Rolling Fork Mayor Eldridge “Butch” Walker. He will set a new date soon.

Walker’s attorney, Carlos Tanner, argues state prosecutors haven’t shared all evidence. He points to a press release announcing the federal court conviction of Kayla Lindsey that says Attorney General Jim Hood’s office helped investigate that case.

Lindsey and Marlene Williams have pleaded guilty to making false statements to the bank.

They controlled a nonprofit that disbursed grants to contractors.

Walker’s October 2015 indictment charges him with submitting a false invoice for $5,800 in unnecessary home repairs on a Rolling Fork home, and conspiring with Williams to get paid.

Monument unveiling honors slain deputy PHILADELPHIA — Family and friends of a Neshoba County deputy sheriff who was ambushed and killed in the line of duty in

1927 dedicated a monument in his memory at Burnside on Saturday in hopes that he will never be forgotten.

John Adam Myers, the former deputy, was ambushed by a moonshiner on his way into town on Oct. 7, 1927, to deliver depositions in a criminal case.

The ambush occurred near the entrance to what is now Burnside Lake Park where the monument was dedicated.

Myers’ great-grandson, Paul Hanser, formerly of Philadelphia and now of Wimberley, Texas, spearheaded the dedication, telling those in attendance that he read once that a man never dies if his name is spoken.

JACKSON — A lesbian couple from Mississippi traveled to Texas and spent their second wedding anniversary watching arguments in a court case that they believe could affect whether they face officially sanctioned discrimination in their home state.

Brandiilyne MangumDear said she and her wife, Susan Mangum, were married in California in 2015, a few weeks before the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The Mississippi Legislature in early 2016 passed a law that would let merchants and government employees cite religious beliefs to deny services to same-sex couples.

Gay and straight plaintiffs sued the state of Mississippi, and a federal district judge halted the law before it could take effect in July 2016, ruling that it unconstitutionally establishes preferred beliefs and creates unequal treatment for LGBT people.

Columbus Senior project focuses on reading, boosts library COLUMBUS — Seniors in the Heritage Academy Class of 2017 will leave a Literacy Legacy to benefit not only future classes but also youngsters in the community at large. Since the beginning of the academic year, the senior class project has weekly paired Heritage 12th-graders — Reading Buddies — with elementary students at Franklin Academy to strengthen youngsters’ reading skills. Class members read to children at pediatric clinics as well, and volunteer with Friends of the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library monthly book sales.

They also raised $11,000 to enhance the HA high school library and make a donation to the Edwina Williams Endowment for Children’s Literature.

“First and foremost, the mission of our project is to expand and help emphasize the importance and fun of literacy throughout Columbus,” said HA senior Reed Hairston, project publicity cochair. The result has proven positive for both the seniors and the children they are partnered with.

“I love what I’ve seen in the

community,” said project sponsor Lynn Sneed, who teaches at Heritage. She also has a son in the Class of ‘17. “They sit down one-on-one and read AR books with elementary students and help them on their AR goals. I’ve loved to see how they interact.”

Reading Buddies like HA senior Olivia Laws like being part of the outreach. “It’s been such a privilege to be able to read to the children at Franklin and watch them improve every week,” she said.

“They have been such a blessing,” Franklin Academy Librarian Rebecca Houston said of the seniors. “They’ve really gotten the kids excited about reading.

The kids love it.” She noted the friendships that have formed and a willingness on the part of some of the older students to spend extra time working with their elementary buddies, including helping with reading fairs.

Literacy Legacy fundraising began in the fall with yard sales, bake sales and appeals to local businesses. Dollars raised have made possible updates underway at the HA library, to include technology upgrades, supplies, tables, books, shelving and a new mural.

Funds collected also allowed the class to make a $1,000 contribution to the Edwina Williams Endowment in February.

Going out to speak with businesses gave seniors experience in presenting themselves in a professional setting, Hairston noted. It also demonstrated to the class that community businesses care enough to make a difference.

Seniors like that Literacy Legacy extends beyond the boundaries of the Heritage campus.

It’s also a partnership between private and public schools, Sneed said.

Senior Class President Hollis Phillips said, “My favorite thing is that we aren’t just helping students at Heritage; we

Corinth, Miss.

Mississippi’s MLK-Lee day persists after decades JACKSON — Mississippi and Alabama are the only remaining states with a single holiday, in January, to honor both Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert E. Lee. Arkansas also had the dual Emily holiday for the civil rights leadWagster er and the Confederate genPettus eral, but Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson recently signed a Capitol Dome bill removing Lee. The law also expands requirements for what Arkansas schools will teach children about the Civil War and civil rights.

“I expected this debate would divide us, but instead during the debate we listened to each other and the conversation brought us together,” Hutchinson said before signing the bill March 21.

No bills were filed in Mississippi this year to remove Lee from the state’s dual holiday, and some lawmakers say they don’t expect to see a change anytime soon.

The chairwoman of the Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus, Democratic Rep. Sonya Williams-Barnes of Gulfport, said a bigger concern for caucus members is removing the Confederate battle emblem that has been on the state flag since 1894.

“It does seem like the remainder of the nation is moving forward as Mississippi continues to live in the past and remain last,” Williams-Barnes said of Arkansas moving to a holiday only for King.

Mississippi enacted a law in 1987 to create the dual observance by adding Martin Luther King Jr. to the Robert E. Lee holiday that had existed since 1910.

Democratic state Sen. Hillman Frazier of Jackson, who was in the state House at the time, sponsored the legislation and it was ignored by leadership the first year. Black lawmakers filibustered to bring attention to the push for a King holiday. Frazier said creating a dual holiday was a way to address criticism Mississippi could not afford another paid day off for government employees.

Democratic Rep. Ed Blackmon of Canton was in the House when the dual holiday was created. He said this year that he thinks Mississippi is “a couple of election cycles away” from removing Lee from the dual holiday.

“Nobody celebrates Robert E. Lee,” Blackmon said. “There are no barbecues held. There is no speechmaking or merrymaking. ... There are no Robert E. Lee sales at the mall. I just don’t believe there is that strong emotional attachment to Robert E. Lee as there is to the (state) flag.”

To be fair, some people do celebrate Lee — and not only on a single day.

“January is the month we honor Generals Robert E. Lee & Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson,” the Mississippi Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans says on its website.

Biloxi officials were on the receiving end of a social media storm this year when a city Twitter account said local government offices would be closed for “Great Americans Day” when most of the nation was honoring King.

The name came from a city ordinance adopted in 1985 — two years after creation of the federal holiday honoring King. Just before this year’s MLK holiday parade in Biloxi, the City Council voted to ditch “Great Americans Day.” As he signed the bill in Arkansas, Hutchinson said he was not looking to re-evaluate any other symbols of the Civil War, including Confederate memorials or a star on the Arkansas flag that represents the Confederacy.

Even if Lee were to eventually be removed from the holiday, the state still has a holiday to mark its attempt at secession. State employees get a paid day off the last Monday in April — Confederate Memorial Day. Emily Wagster Pettus has covered Mississippi government and politics since 1994.

Minor told Mississippi’s story well OXFORD — The phone rang.

“Chah-lie? Bill Minor.

Listen. You got that all wrong.”

This is my 31st year. Back in 1986, when I asked colleagues around the state if there was room for another opinion columnist, more than one encouraged me to chime in, candidly adding that Minor “couldn’t last much longer.”

Well, he did.

More than three decades longer. Plenty long enough to let me know when I got something right or, more memorably, when I didn’t.

As we all know, Wilson F. Minor, who died last week at the age of 94, was the venerable dean of Mississippi journalism in 1957, 1967, 1977 ….

His mind held more firstperson detail of this state’s history than any other, and his gift of recall was without parallel.

That phone call?

If memory serves — and mine is no match for his — I had referenced a provision in the state’s 1890 Constitution, perhaps as it related to casino development. Minor told me my interpretation was wrong and explained why it was wrong. I was chagrined, of course, and wanted to ask him if his views were based on being in the room when the document

was written, but I didn’t.

He was the dean, after all. Respect.

M i n o r was as genCharlie erous with Mitchell his compliments as he Columnist was with his corrections.

Through the years, I would get calls or notes when he felt a necessary observation had been made, adequately supported by fact.

It’s not clear why the times he was ticked off bubble up, but they do. Not too many years ago in a column about how elections can be structured, I mentioned that Mississippi had once “flirted” with a primary system similar to Louisiana’s. I thought “flirted” was a fine word, given that the state never actually used nonpartisan primaries (except in judicial voting), but “flirting” gave Minor apoplexy. He devoted his entire next column to explaining why “flirting” was the wrong word. Called me out by name.

Perhaps it’s perverse, but it was kind of an honor to be taken to the verbal woodshed in such a public way by Bill.

Of course, there were times when Minor made mistakes. They weren’t mistakes of memory, but in

stringing things together.

His detractors seized upon his mistakes as proof of incompetence. A reality in this business is that readers are skeptical (which is a good thing) and an error in a date, a name or even grammar becomes amplified to the point where the writer’s entire body of work is unjustly discredited.

Anyway, I can’t think about Minor without remembering the tonguein-cheek description of a newspaper journalist written by New York Herald Tribune city editor Stanley Walker about the time Minor was born: “What makes a good newspaperman? The answer is easy. He knows everything. He is aware not only of what goes on in the world today, but his brain is a repository of the accumulated wisdom of the ages.

“He is not only handsome, but he has the physical strength which enables him to perform great feats of energy. He can go for nights on end without sleep.

He dresses well and talks with charm. Men admire him; women adore him; tycoons and statesmen are willing to share their secrets with him.

“He hates lies, meanness and sham but keeps his temper. He is loyal to his paper and to what he looks

upon as his profession; whether it is a profession or merely a craft, he resents attempts to debase it.

“When he dies, a lot of people are sorry, and some of them remember him for several days.”

Two portions of that description that resonate for Minor. The first is energy.

Most tributes have appropriately recalled his big stories, but most journalism is, well, mundane. Covering politics and the Legislature is not for people who want a thrill-a-minute life. More significantly, Minor worked diligently to expose officials who played the public for suckers. He was the bane of two-faced suits of any political stripe because he would tell his readers what they had said and how it didn’t fit with what they did. Those who didn’t practice what they preached knew Bill Minor was a reporter to avoid.

Truth-tellers had nothing to fear. He also rode herd on the state’s media.

As for the “several days” part, I have to believe Minor will be remembered much longer, especially by those of us he inspired. For generations, he held up a mirror to Mississippi, and invited us to make it better.

The crisis of Trumpism Trumpism is in crisis.

This isn’t a function of poll numbers, or any melodrama of the past months, but something more fundamental: No officeholder in Washington seems to understand President Donald Trump’s populism or have a cogent theory of how to effect it in practice, including the president himself.

House Speaker Paul Ryan isn’t a populist and doesn’t want to be a populist. He has spent his adult life committed to a traditional limited-government agenda. He crafted his own platform during the campaign, the so-called Better Way agenda, to differentiate congressional Republicans from Trump.

Trump, for his part, has lacked the knowledge, focus or interest to translate his populism into legislative form. He deferred to others on legislative priorities and strategies at the outset of his administration, and his abiding passion in the health care debate was, by all accounts, simply getting to a signing ceremony.

In light of all this, the product of the Ryan-Trump

partnership was a health care bill bizarrely at odds with a national election ReRich p u b l i c a n s just Lowry had won on the National strength of Review workingclass voters.

Under the GOP replacement, fewer people would have had coverage, and workers further down the income scale would have been particularly hard hit. Neither of these facts seemed to exercise the White House, at least not enough to try to do anything to fix them.

Maybe Ryan doesn’t “get” the new political reality created by Trump’s victory, as the president’s boosters like to say. But what excuse does the president himself have for not getting it, either?

A President Trump acting more in keeping with his free-floating reflex to take care of people, as expressed in speeches and interviews, would have

pushed the health bill to the left. But Trump so far hasn’t followed the logic of his own politics in dealing with Congress.

His path not taken would have been to give an inaugural address with less carnage and more kumbayah. Immediately invite Chuck Schumer to the White House and tell him, “Chuck, you’re not leaving this building until we agree on an infrastructure package.” Take the resulting bigspending proposal and dare the GOP to defy him. Pass it with a bipartisan coalition.

Now that the initial health care bill has gone down, there’s loose talk from the White House of wooing Democrats, but a lot has transpired the past few months that makes this much harder.

And Trump’s style of politics is not well-suited to bipartisanship. Democrats tend to be fond of Republicans like John Kasich and Jon Huntsman, who are determinedly inoffensive and loath to touch hot-button issues. Trump is neither. He could propose a $2 trillion infrastructure bill funded

by forced requisitions from Wall Street bankers and Democrats would probably say, “Hell, no.”

In any case, the White House is moving on to tax reform. This, too, may end up running in well-worn GOP ruts. Trump executed a hostile takeover of a Republican Party that was obsessed with the 1980s and cutting marginal tax rates.

Now, the Republican Plan B is revisiting the tax reform of 1986 with ample cuts in marginal tax rates.

If things continue to go badly over this first year, it’s easy to see Trump turning to the New York Democrats in his White House. This would entail less emphasis on trade, immigration and fights with the mainstream media, and more emphasis on a nonideological economic boosterism.

The range of possible outcomes of the Trump presidency is still wide. Unexpectedly, one of them is that his most die-hard populist supporters will eventually be able to say that Trumpism, like socialism, hasn’t failed, it’s just never been tried.

Gorsuch temporarily blocked Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Democrats claimed the votes they needed Monday to block President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, but the victory was only fleeting, setting up a historic showdown with Republicans who intend to rewrite Senate rules and muscle Neil Gorsuch onto the high court.

The coming fight was assured as the bitterly divided Judiciary Committee voted 11-9, along party lines, to send Gorsuch’s nomination to the full Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has vowed he will be confirmed on Friday.

Short of the 60 votes needed to overcome procedural hurdles, McConnell is ready to lead Republicans in a unilateral voting change so significant in the rules-conscious Congress that it’s been dubbed the “nuclear option,” lowering the confirmation threshold to a filibuster-proof simple majority in the 100-member Senate.

Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware became the key 41st vote for the

Boiler blast in St. Louis wounds 4 and kills 3

BY JIM SUHR Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An explosion launched a van-sized boiler through the roof a St. Louis box company and slammed much of it down onto a laundry business across the street on Monday, killing three people and injuring four others, authorities said.

One person died in the blast about 8 a.m. at the Loy-Lange Box Co. and two others were killed when a large piece of the boiler crashed into the nearby Faultless Healthcare Linen building’s office area, Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson said.

The explosion appears to have been an accident, but investigators were trying to pinpoint what caused the cast iron boiler — estimated to weigh a ton to a ton and a half — to explode, Jenkerson said. The blast occurred in a largely industrial area of south St. Louis.

Democrats Monday, declaring during committee debate that Gorsuch’s conservative record showed an activist approach to the law and that he evaded questions during his confirmation hearings. Coons also said that Republicans’ treatment of former President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, left lasting scars after they denied him so much as a hearing following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia early last year.

“We are at a historic moment in the history of the United States Senate” due to actions by both parties, Coons said. “We have eroded the process for reaching agreement and dishonored our long traditions of acting above partisanship.”

By day’s end, 43 Democrats had said they won’t support Gorsuch.

The long-term consequences of the coming confrontation could be profound, as the rules change Republicans intend to enact would apply to future Supreme Court nominees, too, allowing them to be voted onto the court without any

O’Reilly, ex-Fox chief hit with more sex allegations

BY DAVID BAUDER Associated Press

NEW YORK — A Fox News contributor came forward to level more sexual-harassment allegations against deposed chief executive Roger Ailes on Monday, two days after it was revealed the network’s most popular on-air personality, Bill O’Reilly, has settled multiple complaints about his own behavior with women.

O’Reilly returned to the air on Monday following a weekend report in The New York Times that he and his employer had paid five women $13 million to settle allegations of sexual harassment or other inappropriate conduct by Fox’s ratings king. He made no mention of the case on his show.

Meanwhile, the lawyer for another woman who says she was punished for rebuffing O’Reilly’s advances called on New York City’s Human Rights Commission to investigate O’Reilly’s be-

input from the minority party. And though predicting a justice’s votes can be difficult, confirmation of the 49-year-old Gorsuch is expected to restore the conservative majority that existed while Scalia was alive, which could then be in place or even expand over decades to come as some of the more liberal justices age.

For Republicans and Trump, Gorsuch’s confirmation will be a moment of triumph, a bright spot in a troubled young administration that’s failed on the legislative front with the health care bill and is under investigation over Russia connections. The nomination of Gorsuch, by contrast, has won universal praise from Republicans, some of whom call his appointment Trump’s best move so far as president. Gorsuch has spent more than a decade on the federal appeals bench in Denver where he’s issued consistently conservative rulings, and he appeared on Trump’s list of potential candidates partly generated by the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation during the campaign.

havior.

The new lawsuit against Ailes was brought

by Fox’s Julie Roginsky and is notable because it accuses Fox’s current management of trying to cover up for Ailes.

Roginsky said Ailes, who lost his job last summer following sexualharassment complaints he has denied, suggested she have sex with “older, married, conservative

men.” She said Ailes would insist upon a kiss hello at their meetings, requiring her to bend over so he could look down her dress.

She was seeking a permanent role on Fox’s show “The Five.” But after an April 2015 meeting at which she turned down Ailes’ advances, he wouldn’t meet with her again, and she never got the regular role, she said.

Jesus’ Word: God’s Last Word God has said his last word in Jesus Christ. “Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world” (Heb. 1:1-2).

Moses’ Law was of divine origin, being “delivered by angels” (Acts 7:53). “It (the law) was put in place through angels” (Gal. 3:19).

Hebrews, therefore, refers to the law as “the message declared by angels” (2:2). But then shows Christ, and the word spoken through Christ to be much greater. Christ is “much superior to angels” (Heb. 1:4), who are God’s servant messengers (Heb. 1:14), because Jesus is God’s Son (Heb. 1:5).

At Jesus’ transfiguration, Peter proposed three tabernacles, one each for Moses, Elijah and Jesus. Moses and Elijah disappeared, only Jesus remained, and God said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him” (Matt. 17:5).

Jesus’ word through the apostles does not allow for substitution.

“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel - not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you. Let him be accursed” (Gal. 1:6-8) Nor does it allow for additions. God made a promise to Abraham and to us, and the law which came 430 years later cannot change that promise. “To give a human example, brothers, even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified” (Galatians 3:15).

Later revelations are unnecessary. Those who think they hear God speaking directly to them today are likewise mistaken.

Jesus is the embodiment of truth (John 14:6). He came into to bear witness to the truth (John 18:37). He and His Spirit-of truth inspired (John 16:13) holy apostles and prophets (Ephesians 3:5) gave us God’s final and complete revelation, once for all. No need to look for another. Hear Him!

Today

Eye on trade Economists predict that the nation’s trade deficit narrowed in February after spiking the previous month.

The trade gap increased to $48.5 billion in January as a flood of imported mobile phones, oil and foreign-made cars offset a small gain in U.S. exports. It was the largest monthly gap since a deficit of $50.2 billion in March 2012. The Commerce Department is expected to report today that the trade deficit shrank to $46 billion in February.

Macau’s odds improve Macau is back on a winning streak.

The former Portuguese colony, which years ago surpassed the Las Vegas Strip as the world’s biggest casino market, is recovering from a prolonged slump.

The tiny Chinese city’s gambling revenues bottomed out last summer after two years of contraction triggered by an anticorruption crackdown.

Revenues have now expanded for six straight months and analysts expect that luck to hold when official figures for March are released.

Savvy investors have been rewarded for wagering

on Hong Kong-listed casino operators such as Sands China, Wynn Macau and MGM China, whose shares have rallied since July. Macau accounts for the bulk of profits for their Las Vegas-based parent companies.

However, it’s unlikely Macau will return to the supercharged growth of its boom years.

Wealthy mainland Chinese gamblers haven’t yet returned en masse to play VIP baccarat. New resorts have brought an oversupply of hotel rooms. And competition for Asian gamblers is growing as places like Japan move to legalize casinos.

Casino revenue monthly change

VIP Baccarat quarterly revenue

Macau’s gross gambling revenues shrank dramatically as China’s corruption crackdown crimped lavish spending by wealthy VIP baccarat-playing gamblers they’re now recovering.

Grandparents’ pink grad gift comes right out of the blue Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

D E A R ABBY: My daughter is graduating from high school in May. She has been accepted to a prestigious u n i v e r s i t y, entirely due to her own hard work and dedica-

tion.

My father-in-law recently informed us that his new wife had selected our daughter’s graduation present, and they are excited to give it to her.

They chose a pink luggage set.

My husband and I are mystified about why they decided this would be the perfect gift for our daughter.

We know she will be embarrassed -- but gracious -- if she receives this gift in front of our family and friends on graduation day. We would like to spare her the awkwardness and having to return an inappropriate gift.

Abby, would it be rude of us to strongly encourage them to rethink their gift? How do we broach the subject so we don’t cause hurt feelings or a rift? We are grateful for their generosity, but we know the gift won’t suit our grad. -- MYSTIFIED MOTHER

DEAR MOTHER: I do not advise your becoming involved with this.

Warn your daughter in advance what the gift will be so she isn’t caught flat-footed on graduation day.

If she chooses to exchange the luggage for something she feels will be more appropriate, she should do so.

Luggage that stands out like a sore thumb may be easier to spot on an airport carousel, but it can also be more vulnerable to theft than something that blends in.

DEAR ABBY: I have a tough problem. I care very much for my girlfriend.

She keeps me in check and does everything for me.

However, my best friend’s sister and I are extremely close.

By close, I mean we have conversations about how things would be if we were dating.

We have so much fun together.

We never, ever argue, whereas my girlfriend and I are constantly fighting.

I legitimately want the other girl, but I don’t know what I should do. -- SCARED AND STUCK IN ST. PAUL DEAR SCARED AND STUCK: You are a free man, neither married nor engaged.

Because you have romantic feelings for someone else, gather your courage and level with

your girlfriend. Tell her that while you appreciate everything she has done for you, you want to be free to date other people and think she should, too. The news will probably come as a shock to her, but it’s the honest thing to do and better for both of you.

DEAR ABBY: My ex-husband recently died, and I have just learned he had an illegitimate son 25 years ago. The son tracked me down wanting to know things about his biological father. My late husband and I had two children before this one was born. So, do I tell my children they have a half-brother and his aunts they have another nephew? -- TRACKED DOWN IN ILLINOIS DEAR TRACKED DOWN: I see no reason to make any announcements right now. Keep the news to yourself until you are sure that the man wants more contact with his relatives and isn’t just looking for medical information that could affect him.

You also should make absolutely certain that he truly IS your late husband’s son by discussing it with an attorney before sharing any news or details.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The question on your heart is a good one. So good, in fact, that there are more elements affecting the matter than you can imagine. Just keep thinking like you are. You’ll be a part of a change.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

At any point in a relationship, someone loves harder. Which one is loving harder? You. You seem to be always loving harder. What is going on with this?

Back off. Receive.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Health has many levels. Certainly it’s not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The health you are striving for is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Your day will center on one idea.

This contemplation will guide your action. It will change your conversations. It will change the order in which you do things.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The heart of ambition beats loud

in you today. You’ll get up to the mountain peak and realize there’s a higher one over yonder. A panoramic view from the top will make all of this climbing worth the effort.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’re very careful about what you require of others, asking only things that you’ve personally endeavored. “Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn’t have to do it himself.” -A.H. Weiler LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Some say knowledge is good and ignorance is evil. Others suggest that there’s nothing more dangerous than a little bit of knowledge. Since you can’t unknow things, be careful about what you try to learn. Follow your moral compass.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Much can be accomplished through lists and organized efforts, but even the most extensive list cannot control the uncontrollable. You’ll be dealing with forces that can’t be tamed

via writing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Whatever the problem is, you can make it better. Maybe you can’t solve it today, but you can improve things. Take the big issue and make it smaller. If it’s still too big, make it smaller still, until it’s small enough to solve.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve done the research, and you’ve put your theories to the test. Now you know how to go about the job. In order to take it to the next level, teach your way and learn theirs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

It’s pretty clear that the people around you have a different set of rules. If you play by those, you won’t achieve to the heights of your ability. Take charge. Set the bar for yourself, and set it high.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll swim between two schools of thought today. One is very logical; the other is intuitive. The numbers won’t lie, but they’ll never tell the whole story, either.

Don’t worry, take in a game I prefer to be happy rather than sad but sometimes I have trouble being happy.

How about you?

Back in the 1980’s singer/ musician Bobby McFerrin released a feel-good tune using just his voice..no instruments.

It swept the nation and Kent captured our Mohundro attention.

I heard it Sports Editor on the radio again over the weekend and it reminded me that when things don’t go your way, or if you have serious setbacks and problems in your life, we can all choose to take the high road and be positive about anything in life.

‘In this life we have some trouble, if you worry you make it double, don’t worry-

Kent’s Corner be happy.

Cause when you worry your face will frown and that will bring everybody down, so dont worry- be happy.

My intention in this brief column is not to preach but to encourage you to slow down and enjoy life. Take in a concert or maybe a nice dinner with your significant other.

If you don’t have a significant other just enjoy some alone time or spend time with a family member you don’t see very often.

Or here’s a brilliant idea: take in a ballgame.

You might be surprised just how much better attending a sporting event will make you feel. Even if you don’t have kids in school, most of us know or are related to someone who has a son or daugh-

ter playing sports in some league or other.

Shoot, take a road trip to St. Louis or Atlanta for an MLB contest.

I’m amazed with the number of older people who attend ballgames that go just because they want to. They enjoy it. I have been witness to this over the years. It happens and it’s a good thing.

Sports, if you don’t let yourself get emotionally involved, can be good for the soul. Yelling at umpires or getting angry because your team didn’t get the call takes all the fun out of it and causes stress on the heart.

Whenever you find yourself taking in a game, whether it’s t-ball or high school, try hard not to become disgusted and discouraged. Take McFerrin’s advice: ‘Don’t worry- Be happy.’

One of the primary reasons I enjoy what I do for a living

is the pleasure and joy I get out of being around young people and covering their games. I also enjoy meeting and talking to the mom’s, dad’s, coaches and anyone else in attendance.

For me, you’ve probably heard me say this before and it won’t be the last time: there’s absolutely nothing like being on the sideline of a high school football game or in the high school gyms for basketball games. That goes for any other sport as well.

In my opinion, it’s therapeutic. Or at least it should be.

Which leads me to my final point for this week’s Kent’s Corner: Mississippi State basketball.

I was overwhelmed at the number of fans of ‘other schools’ who jumped on the Lady Bulldog bandwagon Please see CORNER | 9

MSU’s NCAA run might be sign of things to come The Associated Press

Mississippi State’s unexpected presence on the biggest stage in women’s basketball might be a sign of good things to come for the program.

The Bulldogs burst into the ranks of the nation’s elite with a run through the NCAA Tournament that ended with a 67-55 loss to South Carolina in the national championship game on Sunday. But the title game did little to take the shine off a breakthrough season, which included a stunning 66-64 overtime win over UConn on Saturday that broke the Huskies’ record 111-game winning streak.

It was one of several impressive wins for a program

that had never been past the Sweet 16 until this year. Mississippi State also knocked off Washington, which had the nation’s leading scorer Kelsey Plum, and beat Baylor in the Elite Eight.

“These kids believed. They made it happen,” Mississippi State coach Vic Schaefer said.

“We didn’t get here by accident. We came through a really tough regional. These kids deserve all the credit for that.”

Now the Bulldogs are out to prove they weren’t a oneyear wonder.

Many of the team’s best players during its 34-5 season will be back next season, including point guard Morgan William — who hit

the buzzer-beater to knock off UConn — leading scorer Victoria Vivians and 6-foot-7 forward Teaira McCowan.

The Bulldogs do lose a solid senior class that includes Dominique Dillingham, Ketara Chapel, Breanna Richardson and Chinwe Okorie. All four were consistent contributors.

But nine players will be back. Schaefer said he made it clear in the postgame locker room that he doesn’t expect much — if any — dropoff.

“You nine that are now sitting here, we’re good enough,” Schaefer said. “I have a heck of a team coming back.”

It’s been a quick rise for the Mississippi State program,

which has usually been an afterthought in the Southeastern Conference until Schaefer arrived. He’s built a powerhouse over five seasons, with 13, 22, 27 and 28 wins in his first four seasons before the program-record 34 wins this year.

The 56-year-old Schaefer has also made women’s basketball a hot ticket in Starkville. Mississippi State averaged more than 6,600 fans at Humphrey Coliseum, including a sellout crowd of 10,500 when the Bulldogs hosted Tennessee during the regular season.

Rooker named SEC Player of the Week Mississippi State Sports Information

STARKVILLE — The leader in nearly every offensive category, junior first baseman Brent Rooker has been named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week following a week in which he posted a 1.000 slugging percentage with 17 total bases.

Rooker becomes the first to win multiple SEC Player of the Week awards this season (Feb. 17), which brings his career count for such honors to three.

State is fresh off a 4-0 week highlighted by a sweep of No. 19 Ole Miss on the road, which stretch MSU’s current win streak to seven games, six of which coming from back-to-back SEC series sweeps.

Rooker went 7-for-12 (.412) at the plate over the week with all of his hits having been for extra bases (five doubles, one triple and one home run) for five RBIs. The slugger also registered three multi-hit games and two multi-RBI games on the week. His hot week led to an extension of his careerbest 14-game hit streak

and a 16-game reached base streak.

Looking at 2017 as a whole, Rooker leads the SEC in batting average (.422), slugging percentage (.890), onbase percentage (.511), RBIs (43), doubles (18), total bases (97) and stolen bases (14). Rooker ranks second in hits (46) and home runs (9).

His 18 doubles lead the nation, while his .890 slugging percentage ranks third and his.422 batting average sits 12th in Division I baseball.

Rooker and the rest of the Bulldogs will return to the field on Tuesday, April 4 at 6:30 p.m. CT for the first of two midweeks in two days for MSU against the Golden Panthers at Dudy Noble Field.

as they upset defending champion and former No. 1 UConn and played South Carolina for the national championship Sunday night.

I saw comments from Ole Miss, Tennessee, Alabama, Southern Miss, Memphis and Kentucky fans where the key hashtag was #hailstate.

You saw them too didn’t you? How many times do you think that’s ever happened before?

It put a smile on my face and in my heart to

see that kind of unity and passion for one common cause. And unless you’re just a pure hater (and I certainly hope that’s not the case) you probably felt the same way.

So see..there it is.

Sports can bring us together and be inspirational as well.

I truly hope you have a fantastic week. Try not to let your worries get you down. But if you find yourself in need of some encouragement and happiness I hope to see you at the game.

Til next time…

fit for Mississippi State and his catchphrase of “Praise the Lord and go ‘Dogs” has become a standard greeting and farewell for fans. The coach also expects his players will be accessible to fans.

“Coach Schaefer has us up in the stands hugging babies, kissing babies, hugging people,” Dillingham said. “I think it’s our family atmosphere and how personable we are with our fans. I think it’s just grown every year.”

Now Schaefer and

Mississippi State have to figure out a way to get past South Carolina in the SEC and at the national level. Schaefer is 0-9 against the Gamecocks and 124-42 against everyone else.

Schaefer said South Carolina was simply a little better than Mississippi State on Sunday.

“I’m disappointed we didn’t play better for you,” Schaefer said.

“It wasn’t that we didn’t try. Again, you have to take your hats off to South Carolina and Dawn Staley for a tremendous effort today.

“But we’ll be back.”

Dealing with a political climate WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I need a pep talk, and I imagine millions of others do, too. I am an informed and involved citizen, and I care passionately about this country.

I’m glad to call it my home.

But lately, with the polarized political climate, I’ve been coming to blows (not literally) with neighbors, friends and even family members over issues I never realized we disagreed about before.

Without getting too much into the specifics, I just can’t understand how these rational people can hold these beliefs. I’ve read that one mustn’t allow politics to affect friendships, but how is that possible when a “friend” or neighbor believes and parrots false truths and reveals herself to be a total hypocrite?

Limiting how much “news” and media I take in only makes me feel like an ostrich with my head in the sand. I feel that I’m contributing to the problem if I don’t stay involved and informed. But how do you stay involved, voice concern and not feel utterly helpless and completely stressed out? — Political Stress Case Dear Political: It’s easy to get into a tizzy when we’re debating ideas. But if we focus more on actions, on the good we can do and the good others are do-

Dear Annie ing, I think we’ll find we have more in common than we believe.

For instance, before you learned that their politics were so different from yours, you probably considered your neighbors to be decent people. That decency is still there if you look for it.

I’m not saying that ideology isn’t important or that it doesn’t have real-world consequences. But focus your energy on effecting change where you can do so without driving yourself crazy.

(Read: not in a shouting match with your uncle.) Volunteer in your community. Canvass for a local politician whom you believe in.

Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Tired and Exhausted,” the mom whose son is struggling with addiction. I was in her shoes 15 years ago, when my son was 23 years old. I was emotionally and financially drained. I was a prime candidate for a mental health intervention myself.

I went to an addiction counselor, who recommended that I go to Nar-

Anon meetings. I resisted the idea for three months but finally went, vowing just to listen, not share my story. Everyone was so nice and welcomed me, and there was no pressure to speak. Much to my surprise, I knew right away that I was in the right place.

I talked about my son, his addiction, the ways he was using me, his swinging door at the jailhouse and my depression. Long story short, I learned that I cannot help my son and I needed to stop enabling him. I got a Nar-Anon sponsor and eventually got my peaceful life back.

“Tired and Exhausted”: If you want to live your remaining years on your son’s roller coaster, keep doing what you have been doing. If you want to live your remaining years in peace, get to a Nar-Anon meeting ASAP, continue going to meetings even if your son is clean and sober, get a sponsor, and follow the Nar-Anon program for the rest of your life. NarAnon saved my life and my sanity. — Thankful Dear Thankful: I’m sure your letter will resonate with many readers who have been made desperate by a loved one’s addiction.

Nar-Anon is a great organization.
