Bond has been denied for a man charged with capital murder. Justice Court Judge Jimmy McGee rejected the bond motion of Michael Lee Meeks on Tuesday afternoon. Meeks, 24, is charged with
Gray’s 155 County Road 171 home on Saturday around 12:30 p.m. Both were expected to have been dead for several days. Meeks, on probation with the Mississippi Department of Corrections for shooting into an occupied dwelling, was arrested in Littleville,
Ala. and charged with felony possession of a firearm. The .22 caliber firearm found in his possession is believed to be the gun used in the double homicide. Funeral services for Williams, 50, are set for 2 p.m. Friday at Magnolia Funeral Home. The retired con-
struction worker is survived by two daughters and a son, all of Florence, Ala. A private memorial service for Gray will be held at a later date. Gray, 56, was a retired factory worker and is survived by a daughter, two sons and eight grandchildren.

Corinth Coca-Cola 10K co-coordinator Amy Smith shows off the new bright shirts for the May 2 event.
10K goes bright lime green BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
The Corinth Coca-Cola 10K is taking the splash for safety. When the starter’s gun goes off on May 2 for the 34th running of the 6.2-mile run, runners/walkers will be more visible thanks to race T-shirts. The 2015 design is a bright lime design with a coke bottle cap in the center with a splash of lime behind the cap. “We are trying to do something to keep runners safer on the course,” said race co-coordinator Amy Smith. “This is the first time we have gone bright and we think they will be more visible.” Organizers are over halfway
to the 1,500 limit of the annual race through downtown Corinth. As of Wednesday, 775 had registered for the run. Those who want to participate in the 10K must register online. The race has gone to strictly online registration this year. “The number is up 23 percent from last year and we haven’t really advertised it yet,” said Smith. Things will start to get busy next week with packets being put together. Cost to enter the 10K will also increase next week. Currently, race registration is $20. The price goes to $25 starting on Monday, April 13.
The last two years registration has been capped at 1,500. Over 1,000 runners have registered the last four consecutive years. “Last year, we reached the 1,500 mark a week before the race,” added Smith. Co-sponsored by MRHC, the Classic 10K is called “one of the 100 great short races” by Running Times. More than $6,000 in cash prizes will be awarded. Prize money will be awarded to the top three places in eight different divisions and in age groups 25 and over. (To register for the 34th Annual Corinth Coca-Cola 10K go to coke10k.com.)
Corinth police identified two suspects charged in an armed robbery on Wednesday and two others arrested in a separate burglary case. The armed robbery of an individual happened Tuesday afternoon outside a Waldron Street residence where a man was working on a car. The suspects were arrested later on Dorsey Street without incident and charges were filed Wednesday. Detective Dell Green said Edmon Morgan, 29, of Mitchell Street, and Taderrius Scruggs, 21, of Dorsey Street, are each charged with armed robbery. They remained in custody as of 4 p.m. Wednesday with bond set at $50,000. They approached the man on Waldron Street and asked to use his cell phone. After
pulling a gun, they took his phone and wallet. In the separate burglary case, Carl Conner, 22, of Dennistown Road, is charged with burglary of a residence, and Lashawn Adams, 25, also of Dennistown Road, is charged with accessory after the fact. Green said neighbors observed black males loading a television into a vehicle at a Blasingame Street address on April 1. When they saw they were being watched, they left, with one fleeing on foot. Another car picked up the one who fled on foot. Officers identified the suspects and located them at a Shiloh Road residence the next day. Adams was apprehended at the residence while Conner fled on foot and was caught a couple of blocks away, said Green.
Aldermen consider change in beer law BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
The Corinth Board of Aldermen will consider an ordinance amendment to accommodate specialty beer stores. Brandy and Jeff Phillips, owners of the Wine Barn on Highway 72 West, want to open a specialty craft beer market next to the existing business. They approached the city board with the request on Tuesday.
Currently, under the city’s code regulating beer and liquor, such a store would be required to have 50 percent of the sales as non-beer items and 65 percent of the floor space occupied by non-beer items. With no plans to sell convenience store fare or other items, that doesn’t fit with the Phillips’ plan. The question had arisen Please see BEER | 2
County seeks bids Law helps families with autism care for garbage pickup BY ZACK STEEN

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
With bids in hand for new garbage trucks, the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors decided to take proposals for sanitation service. The board on Monday voted to table the truck bids and seek proposals for garbage collection. The county currently handles its own garbage collection with three trucks that are in need of replacement. After
reviewing the bids for new trucks, Supervisor Jimmy Tate Waldon said he is concerned the bid specifications needed to be better tailored to the county’s needs. The county has bids in hand from Tri-State Truck Center and Ingram Equipment for the lease-purchase of trucks and trade in of the existing trucks.

State Sen. Rita Potts Parks (R-Alcorn, Tippah, Tishomingo) authored the Senate version of the new Mississippi law that will require all health insurance plans to cover autismrelated treatment.
A new bill set to be signed into law next month will require all Mississippi health insurance plans to cover autism-related treatment. District 4 Sen. Rita Potts Parks (R-Alcorn, Tippah, Tishomingo), who authored the Senate version of the bill, is excited her home state has finally joined the nationwide movement for autism care. “Autism-related treatment has become a critical issue in the state in recent years,” said Parks. “Some families have had to pay more than $30,000 in out-of-pocket expenses for services.

Rinehart suggested the board look at a policy providing compensation for law enforcement officers injured in the line of duty. It would call for the county to provide a third of the worker’s salary while workers’ compensation would pay 66 percent. However, the county would be eligible for reimbursement through the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office as the result of a recent state law. It must be a full-time, certified officer, the sheriff said. Attorney Bill Davis said the percentage may vary, but it gives
the county the option to make up the difference to cover the officer’s salary. The board delayed acting on the policy to allow further study. Supervisor Lowell Hinton said he likes the idea but expressed concern that the policy needs a limit so the county doesn’t have an open-ended commitment. The City of Corinth recently adopted such a policy. The board also approved the use of the courthouse grounds for the National Day of Prayer activities on May 7 and received a quarterly update from Magnolia Regional Health Center.

nally help these families.” The bill extends health insurance coverage to autism services, including Applied Behavior Analysis, also known as ABA therapy. It will also force providers to obtain state licenses. The bill restricts coverage to children ages 2-8, but ongoing treatments can continue after that age cap if deemed medically necessary. “It has been a long jour-
ney,” said Parks. “After fighting with big insurance companies on this for several years, I’m so happy we have become the 39th state to make autism-related treatment a priority.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 10,000 children in Mississippi are living with autism, which causes mild-to-profound deficits in language and socialization. There is no known cure, but research has shown that early and
extended access to ABA therapy can lessen the disorder. “I have no doubt that this will help these children become more independent and productive citizens of our state,” added Parks. “I have several constituents in North Mississippi with children who suffer with the disorder.” Parks credits Ripley resident Quess Hood for first asking her to supprt an autism insurance coverage law. “I have never met a
man with such passion for something,” said Parks. “His son has autism, and he never gave up supporting the bill. I was blessed to have the help of Quess and his family while working on getting this law passed.” Parks said she’s grateful to have support this year from leadership within the state, as well. “I want to thank both Gov. Phil Bryant and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves for making this a priority this year,” she added.
he said. In other business before the board: ■ The proposed C-3 zone changes for the Central Business District were again continued as another request for more time for review was made. ■ Street Commissioner Philip Verdung requested permission to have Cook Coggin Engineers prepare a design plan to correct a serious drainage issue on Little Zion Road in the north part of the city, but
the board is requesting an estimate before giving the OK. “At some point in the near future, what we’re going to be looking at is we’re going to lose the road, and we’re just going to have to block that road off at the culvert,” said Verdung. The problem is a “drastically undersized” culvert that has been patched many times in an area where water frequently tops the road. The street
department had been moving toward a fix with a box culvert until learning that the classification of the drainage channel would require a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers. “The requirements that go along with that push the scope of work outside of what we can realistically do within our department,” said Verdung. He wants to have the project shovel-ready as a funding source is sought for the project.

whether such requests could be considered on a case-by-case basis. “I don’t think you can just do what we refer to as a variance,” said City Attorney Wendell Trapp. “I think you could amend this ordinance and add a section that deals with specialty craft beers.” The proposed amendment needs to be put in writing and presented at the board’s next meeting,

Today in History
BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Today is Thursday, April 9, the 99th day of 2015. There are 266 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On April 9, 1865, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia.
On this date: In 1913, the first game was played at Ebbets Field, the newly built home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, 1-0. In 1939, singer Marian Anderson performed a concert at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. after being denied the use of Constitution Hall by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1940, during World War II, Germany invaded Denmark and Norway. In 1942, American and Philippine defenders on Bataan capitulated to Japanese forces; the surrender was followed by the notorious Bataan Death March. In 1945, German pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 39, was executed by the Nazis at the Flossenburg concentration camp. In 1959, NASA presented its first seven astronauts: Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard and Donald Slayton. In 1965, the newly built Astrodome in Houston featured its first baseball game, an exhibition between the Astros and the New York Yankees, with President Lyndon B. Johnson in attendance. (The Astros won, 2-1, in 12 innings.) In 1983, the space shuttle Challenger ended its first mission with a safe landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. In 1996, in a dramatic shift of purse-string power, President Bill Clinton signed a line-item veto bill into law. (However, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the veto in 1998.)
Arch Bullard is addicted to helping people. The Corinth lawyer and former assistant district attorney is hoping to get more opportunities to help as District Attorney. Bullard celebrated his candidacy for 1st Judicial District Attorney during a campaign kickoff on Tuesday at The Franklin Courtyard. “There is no greater joy than helping victims as a prosecutor,” said Bullard before over a hundred supporters. “I want to return to the DA office and do what I do best.” Bullard brings an impressive resume into the race for DA. The Millsaps College graduate has 15 years of felony prosecution experience since he was hired by former District Attorney John R. Young in 1996. He has handled countless criminal cases from capital murders and child sexual assaults to burglaries and drug offenses. “Arch knows how to try a case,” said Young on Tuesday. “I have seen him do it … no one can prepare as much as he does.” Bullard, past President of the Prosecutors’ Association, came to Corinth

Hillary is stuck BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists
Politicians depend on their ability to maneuver as their most basic survival skill. Force them to stand and exchange blows without the ability to shift their ground and they are as helpless as a kitten. Presidents, for example, fail when they get stuck and can no longer maneuver, as with Johnson on Vietnam, Nixon on Watergate, Carter on the hostages, Reagan on Iran-Contra, Bush on taxes, Clinton on Monica, and Bush Jr. on Iraq. Now, Hillary is stuck over the emails. Her ability to maneuver is lost, and her campaign comes down to a simple mantra: “I erased the emails. There’s nothing there you wanted to see. Trust me.” Hillary’s tactic of hiding at home in Chappaqua coming up occasionally to tweet, offering up to 140 characters to show she’s still alive, isn’t working. She is getting pounded each day in the media. Nobody believes her explanations. About half the voters in the key swing states of Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania told Quinnipiac pollsters that they do not find the former Secretary of State “honest and trustworthy.” And a recent poll by CBS showed that while voters believed by 49-38 that “convenience” rather than “concealment” was her motive for using a private server, this does nothing to justify her erasure of 30,000 emails. For that, she has no explanation other than repeating that they are none of our business. Voters aren’t buying that. Under the constant attacks and disclosures, Hillary offers no defense -- and not even any offense -- against the Republicans. The bad polls and the nervousness of the Democrats will combine to force the candidate-in-hiding to come out in public, announce her candidacy and campaign. While going public is the only real option for Hillary at this point, it will prove counter productive and only mire her more deeply in the email mess. Hillary is truly stuck. Nothing she says about any other topic will be covered, and the chance for the media to question her will just expose her to more negative coverage about the emails. She has already shown her difficulty in handling questions without proper scripting. She has nowhere to turn. Nowhere to hide. The question looming over the presidential race is: How much can the Democratic Party take before it comes up with a default candidate? Will they get serious about finding an alternative to Mrs. Clinton or are they willing to bet that the bleeding staunches and the wound heals? The extent of the catastrophe, should the scandal drag out and the negatives continue, that would befall the Party cannot be overstated. The elections of 1974, the postWatergate wipeout of Republicans, will seem minor compared to what will happen to Democratic Congressional and Senate candidates in 2016 if Hillary leads the party into disaster. Democrats seem impervious to negatives about Hillary. Through thick and thin, they appear willing to stick with her. So lets rephrase the question and ask Democrats whether they think Hillary can win with her current baggage. As the evidence mounts that she cannot and her announcement of candidacy just pushes her lower and lower, likely they will come to their senses and look for an alternative before it is too late. As Congressional hearings come and Hillary looks worse and worse in the witness chair, it will likely dawn on even the most dedicated of the party faithful that the jig is up. Even if their own admiration for Hillary is undimmed, the prospect of carrying her into the election will appear increasingly daunting. And Democrats have to win in order to survive. Politics, for them, is no spectator sport. Its their living, their entitlement checks, their government handouts. They cannot afford, literally, to lose. Hillary may become a luxury they cannot afford. (Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill. His wife, Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant.)
Prayer for today My Father, I pray that it may be mine to have the recollection of happy deeds, and not the memory of unkept promises. Help me to remember that one act is worth a thousand intentions, and that memory is the storehouse that supplies old age. Make me careful of my memory, that it may not be burdened. Amen.
A verse to share “And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.” Malachi 1:5
Yellowhammer.com pulls best April Fools’ stunt STARKVILLE — In my days in the newspaper business, I always enjoyed April Fools’ Day editions. Perhaps my best effort came in the early 1990s – during the height of President Bill Clinton’s administration – when I outed Forest, Mississippi resident Doris Mowrey as one of the former Arkansas governor’s “lovers.” I ran the story Page One, accompanied by photo of Doris with Slick Willie. It was a long, detailed story with quotes from Doris and the president. The readers ate it up, and no one had more fun with the April Fools’ joke than did Doris Mowrey – who was a happily married white-haired retired lady who was a friend of mine from the Forest United Methodist Church choir. Doris loved to laugh and we had fun in choir. We took part in a church Easter musical one year in which she played my sister. That was it. From that day forward, she called me “Brother.” But the fake Doris-loves-Clinton story was priceless. Doris was a ham in a badly-Photoshopped
depiction of the “lovers” and she actually contributed some really funny Sid Salter quotes. Over in Columnist N e w t o n County, former Newton County Appeal publisher Jack Tannehill offered a different kind of story on April 1 years ago. In Jack’s story, a motorist pumping gas at a local filling station discovered a large diamond lodged in the opening to his gas tank after he finished filling up his car. Jack produced photographic evidence of the “rock” as well. But in recent memory, no news outlet has pulled a better April Fools’ Day story than did the popular website Yellowhammer.com over in Birmingham. Their April 1 postings included the story: “BREAKING: Bentley makes it official, switches to Democratic Party.” The story, written by Cliff Sims, went on to detail the supposed fact that Republican Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley had switched to
the Democratic Party. Sims wrote: “Bentley’s Party change is the culmination of a political metamorphosis that has seen the two-term governor go from running for re-election on a “no new tax” pledge to proposing a massive $541 million tax increase.” The Bentley party-switch story was – like the story of my friend Doris and Bill Clinton – a total fabrication. But the fact that Bentley had bucked the Republican Party in proposing a $541 million package of tax increases was absolutely true. Bentley’s tax hike proposal included the largest components of new revenue from an increase of the state sales tax on automobile sales from 2 percent to 4 percent, which would generate an estimated $200 million, and an increase in cigarette and tobacco taxes, which would generate an estimated $205 million. Clearly, while Bentley’s party-switch was fake, the changed philosophy on taxes from his 2014 re-election campaign gave the April Fool’s story extra credence. Back across the state line
in Mississippi, the Mississippi Legislature had completed their regular session duties and face only the possible prospects of a single-issue special session to deal with a workforce program. Unlike Bentley, Mississippi’s Republican leadership wasn’t talking about tax hikes even as an April Fool’s gambit. Despite record funding for public education, GOP majorities in the Mississippi Legislature squared off over tax cut strategies and could not reach strategic agreement on three different tax cut plans. While the political focus will remain on Mississippi lawmakers failing to “fully fund” the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, the fact is that lawmakers returned to the same two funding priorities that seem to always dominate in Mississippi – Medicaid and education. That’s no April Fool’s tale, either. (Daily Corinthian columnist Sid Salter is syndicated across the state. Contact him at 601-507-8004 or sidsalter@sidsalter.com.)
Mississippi is truly God’s country BY WYATT EMMERICH The Northside-Sun
Last week was a big week in Mississippi. It was when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. According to Wikipedia, Mississippi leads the nation in churchgoing with 63 percent going to church each week. That beats the number two Alabama by a whopping five percentage points. The national average is 42 percent. More than 90 percent of Mississippians believe in God. Eighty percent of Mississippians are Christians. You could say that Mississippi is truly God’s country. In a world of seven billion souls, 2.2 billion are Christians. This is followed by 1.6 billion Muslims and a billion Hindu followers. Secular agnostics and atheists are another billion. Europe is the least religious continent. In 2010, Gallup polled Europeans with the question, “Does religion occupy an important place in your life?” In France, 73 percent said no. In England, 71 percent said no. How appropriate that the celebration of Easter comes just as life is blooming anew with the unfolding miracle of spring. What a miracle. How does a flower bloom? How does the rain fall so softly? How does the rotation of our planet occur in such an ex-

ceedingly precise manner? Through advances in physics, we have learned that the universe is tuned precisely or it could not exist. Matter would collapse upon itself or quarks would fail to bond or the universe would expand into nothingness. Dr. Hugh Ross gives an example of the least fine-tuned of the above four examples in his book, “The Creator and the Cosmos.” One part in 10 to the 37th power is such an incredibly sensitive balance that it is hard to visualize. The following analogy might help: Cover the entire North American continent in dimes all the way up to the moon, a height of about 239,000 miles (In comparison, the money to pay for the U.S. federal government debt would cover one square mile less than two feet deep with dimes.). Next, pile dimes from here to the moon on a billion other continents the same size as North America. Paint one dime red and mix it into the billions of piles of dimes. Blindfold a friend and ask him to pick out one dime. The odds that he will pick the red dime are one in 10 to the 37th power. Then there are the odds of a planet in the universe evolving intelligent life. The book “Rare Earth” written by two University of Washington astrophysicists delves
into this topic. As far as we know, there are 10 septillion stars in the universe. That is 10 to the 23rd power. In other words, 10 times 10, 23 times. That’s a lot. But in “Rare Earth,” the authors document at least 23 unique events that had to occur before advanced life on Earth could develop. If you have 23 such preconditions, then the probability of another Earth is one-tenth to the 23rd power - 10 septillion. Many of the mandatory preconditions for advanced life on Earth were much less probable than one in 10. In a nutshell, we are probably alone in the universe. For instance, our Milky Way galaxy is unusually hospitable for life. Most galaxies are more compact, meaning a higher density of stars. More stars means more nearby exploding stars called supernovas. One supernova within a few million light years will “sterilize” all life with its gamma rays. In addition, in most galaxies, stars are so closely packed together that the stars affect each others’ gravitational pull, preventing the kind of stable orbits necessary for life to evolve. If the Earth was any closer to the sun, its rotation would synchronize with the sun. So not only is our huge moon necessary, but the Earth must be in an exceedingly

narrow window of distance to the sun. Without plate tectonics and a unique set of elements and atmospheric events, the Earth would be far too cold or hot for advanced life. No other planet in the solar system has either. The list of improbable events is long. Which brings me to the resurrection, without which Christianity is the biggest fraud in the history of the world. Many atheists cannot believe in the miracle of the resurrection, despite being surrounded by miracles, despite being a walking, talking miracle. Seeing is believing? Our eyes see less than one-hundredth of one percent of the electromagnetic spectrum. We are, for all intents and purposes, blind. Logic? Human rationality? Our brains are completely limited by their design and structure. Our reality is merely what we say it is. Human reality is an utter illusion. If God is so real, why doesn’t he appear before us? He did. Two thousand years ago and the world was changed forever. This spring, open your eyes. Maybe you’ll see a butterfly – a creature that started out in the dark, dank dirt only to be transformed and reborn into a creature of miraculous beauty gliding through sunlight.

Tsarnaev convicted on all charges BOSTON — Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted on all charges Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombing by a federal jury that now must decide whether the 21-year-old former college student should be executed. Tsarnaev folded his arms, fidgeted and looked down at the defense table as he listened to one guilty verdict after another on all 30 counts against him, including conspiracy and deadly use of a weapon of mass destruction. Seventeen of those counts are punishable by death. The verdict — reached after a day and a half of deliberations — was practically a foregone conclusion, given his lawyer’s startling admission during opening statements that Tsarnaev carried out the attack with his now-dead older brother, Tamerlan. The two shrapnelpacked pressure-cooker bombs that exploded near the finish line on April 15, 2013, killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 other people, turning the traditionally celebratory home stretch of the world-famous race into a scene of carnage and putting the city on edge for days. In the next phase, which could begin as early as Monday, the jury will hear evidence on whether Tsarnaev should get the death penalty or spend the rest of his life in prison.
Burger King finances Burger, King wedding SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Burger King is paying the expenses and providing gifts for the wedding of an Illinois couple with an interesting connection to the fast food restaurant chain. Joel Burger and Ashley King accepted the company’s proposal this week. The State JournalRegister reports that the couple has been known as Burger-King since they were in the fifth grade together, in New Berlin near Springfield. The couple announced their engagement this spring with a
photo next to the sign at a local Burger King restaurant. Although a woman’s name usually comes first in an engagement announcement, they decided to flip their names. A Burger King spokesman says the company felt an overwhelming urge to help the happy couple celebrate their upcoming marriage. The Burger-King nuptials will be held July 17 in nearby Jacksonville.
400-pound alligator moved to preserve GROVES, Texas — A 400-pound alligator safely hauled out of a Southeast Texas pond has a new home at a tourist attraction that caters to gators. Gator Country preserve owner Gary Saurage said Tuesday that the 11-foot reptile joins more than 400 other alligators at the preserve in Beaumont, Texas. Saurage got the animal after a landowner in nearby Groves called about an aggressive alligator in a rural pond where children swim. Saurage went to the swampy site to rope and remove the male alligator, which he estimates is 35 to 40 years old.
Mother sentenced for fatal poisoning WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — A woman convicted of fatally poisoning her 5-year-old son with salt in his hospital feeding tube got a break on her murder sentence Wednesday because she suffers from a mental illness she has refused to acknowledge, the judge said. Lacey Spears, 27, of Scottsville, Kentucky, was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison for the 2014 death of Garnett-Paul Spears at a suburban New York hospital. Prosecutors said the mother force-fed high concentrations of sodium through the boy’s stomach tube because she craved the attention his illness brought to her, especially through her heavy posting on social media. Acting state Supreme Court Justice Robert Neary said Spears’ crime was “unfathomable in its cruelty” and brought her son “five years of torment and

pain.” But he said he was not imposing the maximum 25 years to life because “one does not have to be a psychiatrist to realize you suffer from Munchausen by proxy.” Munchausen by proxy, now known clinically as factitious disorder imposed on another, is a disorder in which, in some cases, caretakers purposely but secretly harm children and then enjoy the attention and sympathy they receive.

Leland OKs curfew for 18 and younger LELAND — Underage Leland residents now have an 8 p.m. curfew until the end of the school year. The Delta Democrat Times reports the curfew will require those 18 years and younger to be off the streets by 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and by 10:30 p.m. on weekends, until the end of the school year. Police Chief Billy Barber says exact dates for the duration of the curfew have yet to be determined. Those found out past the curfew will face a fine up to $500.
Agents taught Malia how to drive WASHINGTON — Some teenagers get driving lessons from their parents. Other teens are taught by licensed instructors. But Malia Obama isn’t your average 16-yearold: Her driving lessons were provided by the U.S. Secret Service. Asked who taught Malia how to drive, first lady Michelle Obama told celebrity chef and daytime talk-show host Rachael Ray in an interview that it was the armed agents who provide around-the-clock security for the family. “The Secret Service, actually, because they wouldn’t let me in the car with her,” Mrs. Obama said in an excerpt of the interview that was released by Ray’s program. The full interview is set to air Thursday. Mrs. Obama hasn’t driven herself in seven or eight years, she said.
Family of man found hanging seeks details JACKSON — Lawyers hired by the family of a black man found hanging in Mississippi say they are hiring independent experts to conduct an investigation separate from the one pursued by state and federal authorities. Attorney Dennis Sweet IV said Wednesday that family members do not believe 54-year-old Otis Byrd died by suicide. Byrd was found hanging near his home in Port Gibson last month. Authorities are trying to determine if he was killed or took his own life. The FBI told The Associated Press that the agency shared autopsy results with the family less than a week after Byrd was found. Attorney Dennis Sweet III says the family has not given autopsy results to him or the other attorneys.
Ferguson voters add blacks to council FERGUSON, Mo. — Two black candidates were among three people elected to the Ferguson City Council Tuesday, tripling AfricanAmerican representation in the St. Louis suburb where poor race relations have been a focal point since the August shooting death of an 18-year-old black by a white police officer. The election means that half of the sixmember city council in Ferguson, a town where two-thirds of the 21,000 residents are black, will now be African-American. The lone black incumbent councilman was not up for re-election. The mayor, who could break any tie votes, is white.

Suit seeks resumption of conjugal visits JACKSON — A federal magistrate judge will determine if Mississippi inmates have a protected right to conjugal visits. An inmate makes that argument in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court against the Department of Corrections and former corrections chief Christopher Epps. Epps ended the more than a century-old practice of allowing conjugal visits for inmates on Jan. 31, 2014. At the time, Mississippi was one of only six states to allow conjugal visits, and the practice is forbidden in federal prisons. New Mexico stopped the visits last May despite criticism from some civil rights groups, while only four other states — California, Connecticut, New York, and Washington — still allow the practice. In Mississippi, conjugal visits were allowed only for married, minimumsecurity inmates who haven’t violated rules in the previous six months. Epps said he believed the visits helped keep families together and reduced sexual assault among prisoners. But Epps said with the focus on trimming prison expenses, the benefits didn’t outweigh the costs. Epps resigned last November, and he pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges six weeks ago. His sentencing is
pending. Inmate Jehoikeem Mulazeem, who is listed in Department of Corrections’ records as Charles Daniels, wants the visits to resume. The practice of conjugal visits in Mississippi has never been adopted by law, and a written policy wasn’t created until the 1980s.
School employees to make up lost days HERNANDO — Employees in the DeSoto County school system will have to make up days missed because of bad weather. Students are not being required to make up the missed days. The Commercial Appeal reports the state attorney general’s office has issued an opinion that employees must make up days missed because of bad weather in February and March because state workers cannot be paid for days not worked. Superintendent Milton Kuykendall told school board members Tuesday that a plan on how to make up the lost time will be presented to board members for approval. Kuykendall said the plan probably will involve professional development days that employees can attend. “We’ll do what we need to do to comply with state law,” he said. Like other districts throughout Mississippi, the DeSoto schools missed multiple days because of ice and snow during February and March. One day was made up on a Saturday, and district officials had scheduled other makeup days on Saturdays and by adding a day at the end of the school year.

‘Mockingbird’ production at risk in Lee’s hometown BY JAY REEVES Associated Press
MONROEVILLE, Ala. — Each spring when the azaleas bloom, attorney Atticus Finch, daughter Scout and other characters from “To Kill a Mockingbird� come to life on the courthouse lawn in the Alabama hometown of author Harper Lee, who will release a sequel to her classic novel in July. Townspeople, all volunteers largely without theater experience, join together annually to perform a stage version of Lee’s story of racial injustice in the Deep South. The play opens outside the courthouse and ends in the same courtroom that was a set model for the Hollywood version of the book.
The production is a point of civic pride that draws crowds from across the globe and helps fill motels, restaurants and shops in otherwise sleepy Monroeville, a town of 6,300 in southwest Alabama. This year’s shows opened Wednesday with a performance for schoolchildren from as far away as Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. Other shows have been sold out for weeks, partly because of excitement created by word of Lee’s unexpected “Mockingbird� follow-up — “Go Set a Watchman.� Yet the play, now in its 26th season, may eventually be coming to an end. Organizers haven’t been able to obtain rights to produce the play beyond 2015, records show, and a person involved
“HAVE A BLESSED DAY� It is not uncommon at all for people in our day, usually when they are leaving our presence, to say to us, “Have a blessed day.� A customer who regularly comes in the store where I work always says it, and I know he means it. WOW! What a great thing to wish for others!! What a great thing to pray for others. With all the bad we hear, isn’t it refreshing to hear something good!? Psalm 1 begins with the phrase “Blessed is the man who...,� and then proceeds to inform us about those who are truly blessed, not only in this life, but in the life to come. The psalmist says to be blessed I must not listen to the advise, or counsel, of the ungodly, stand in the way of sinners, or “sit in the seat of the scornful.� Be cautious about what we hear and heed, and our association with those who could lead us astray. Paul warned, “Evil company corrupts good habits� (I Corinthians 15:33 New King James Version) Conversely, the psalmist says of the blessed man, “but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.� (verse 2) By reading what God tells me in his word, meditating upon it, and then putting that into action in my life, I am bringing upon myself the blessing of God. James says, He who looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work. this man will be blessed in what he does.�(James 1:25) “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.� (psalm 1:3) A life “rooted� in God’s will, and “watered� by the wellspring of divine wisdom is a life that will flourish spiritually and bring forth an abundance of fruit to the glory of God. Jesus said in John 15:8, “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.� In the last three verses the psalmist shows what happens in the end to those who do not have the blessings of God in their life. They are ‘like the chaff which the wind driveth away�, and� the way of the ungodly shall perish.� It is our prayer that we would all listen to God and “have a blessed day� We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ.

in the delay is the same person who came under scrutiny after discovering “Watchman� and alerting a publisher: Lee’s attorney Tonja Carter. Probate Judge Greg Norris in Monroe County is working with Carter to obtain permission to stage “Mockingbird� in 2016. Tonja Carter’s husband has been appointed to the board that oversees the play, but the future of the production is in “limbo,� according to minutes from a March meeting of directors of the Monroe County Heritage Museum. The museum puts on the play each year. Norris declined to comment on specifics of the talks Tuesday, saying only that he’s hopeful the play will continue in the downtown amphitheater where it’s currently staged. “We want the play for our community. It makes people proud,� Norris told The Associated Press. Carter, who has handled business affairs for
the famously private author for several years, didn’t return a message seeking comment. Neither did the president of the Illinois-based Dramatic Publishing Co., which licenses the play. But friction isn’t anything new between Lee and the museum, located in the old Monroe County Courthouse where the play is put on each year. In 2013, Lee sued the museum over “Mockingbird� souvenirs sold in its store after seeking a federal trademark for the title of her book when it is used on clothing. The lawsuit came after the museum opposed the application, saying souvenir sales were vital to its operation. The legal dispute was settled, but news of the unexpected follow-up novel by Lee once again put a spotlight on Monroeville’s most famous resident. Questions arose among some friends and longtime acquaintances about
,?BGCQ 2CESJ?P 0PGAC &MMRUC?P
whether the 88-year-old author — who hadn’t previously revealed plans to publish a second book and now lives in an assisted living center — was competent to make the decision to release “Watchman,� which was written in the 1950s before “Mockingbird.� The upcoming book is described as being set 20 years after Finch — based upon Lee’s attorney father — defended a black man wrongly accused of raping a white woman in Maycomb, a fictional town based upon Monroeville. In “Watchman,� Finch’s daughter Scout returns home to her childhood home as an adult. The state of Alabama has closed an investigation into possible elder abuse involving Lee, but the author has yet to comment publicly aside from statements released by Carter or publisher HarperCollins. Lee has suffered a stroke and is nearly deaf; friends say she reads with large magnifier. No one recalls Lee ever attending a play performance in Monroeville,
but organizers say some of her relatives have seen the show. The Wednesday performance included the debut of three child actors who portrayed Finch’s two children and their friend Dill and included homey touches such as a log truck rumbling by as the first act began on the courthouse lawn. The thought of a spring without the play and the business it generates sends chills through area merchants like book retailer Spencer Madrie. Madrie’s Ol’ Curiosities and Book Shoppe just off the square has sold more than 5,000 advance copies of “Watchman.� With multiple performances in April and May, the play will generate about $204,000 in ticket sales this year. The museum typically pays around $16,000 in licensing fees for “Mockingbird,� and revenues also help pay for the upkeep and operation of county historic sites including the old courthouse, where the dome is gleaming white after a $13,480 paint job that was completed last week.

Former slave’s story resurfaces Associated Press
APPOMATTOX, Vir. — A Civil War cannonball that ripped through Hannah Reynolds’ master’s cabin made her a footnote of misfortune, the lone civilian death at the Battle of Appomattox Court House. She died a slave at 60, hours before the war to end slavery unofficially came to a close. A century and a half later, Reynolds’ story is being rewritten: Newly discovered records show that she lingered for several days — long enough to have died a free woman. This new historical narrative has made Reynolds, along with Confederate General Robert E. Lee and Union Gen. Ulysses Grant, one of the central figures in commemorative activities marking Lee’s surrender
at Appomattox, Virginia, starting Wednesday. Friday night, a eulogy in period language will be delivered over a plain wooden coffin representing Reynolds’ remains, a 100-member gospel choir will sing spirituals and 4,600 candles will be lit to represent the slaves in Appomattox County who were emancipated by Lee’s surrender to Grant, his Union counterpart. The Reynolds story has also inspired some soul searching in this rural county in Virginia’s tobacco belt where black and white students were taught in separate schools more than a century after Lee’s farmhouse surrender and where discussions of race are approached delicately, if not at all. “It’s hard to bring up. It’s even harder to get an honest and open dis-
don’t know me and you can’t judge a book by its cover.� Students also visited the school-turned-museum where black students were educated, attended a panel discussion featuring students who attended classes there to learn of their experiences, and discussed the era of segregation with their elders. Pastor Alfred L. Jones III remembers student unease about race issues when he taught history at Appomattox High. Now retired, he’s a genealogist who brought the Reynolds story to life and has worked with others in this county of 15,000 to make the legacy of the Civil War relevant through the Civil Rights movement and beyond. The Reynolds story, he says, was “hidden in plain sight.�
cussion of it,� said Joseph Servis, an advanced placement U.S. history teacher at Appomattox High School. His students wrote essays drawing on their experiences, black and white, with race. “To me, this is what history should be,� Servis said. “To challenge yourself and be a little uncomfortable and ask yourself questions you might not like the answers to.� For some students, their experiences were all too familiar. Melody Burke, 16, wrote of how another teacher questioned whether she was up to the class work. She was the only black student in the class and the only one who was questioned, she said. It only strengthened her resolve, she said, to “prove to her you really
Elks Lodge donation The Elks Lodge 2573 recently had a fundraiser that raised $2,000, and the money was divided among several areas. $1,000 was given the Elks local scholarship fund. This money is given annually to local deserving students. $500 was given to CAUSE (Corinth Autism Understanding Support and Education) and $500 was given to the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter. Accepting the check for the Corinth Alcorn Animal Shelter are Luke and Charlotte Doehner. Shown are (from left) Luke Doehner; Rusty Stephens, Elks Exhaulted Ruler; Charlotte Doehner; and Bob Lipford, Elks Trustee.
Creek impact The cost-share program of the Alcorn County Soil and Water Conservation District and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has made landowners happy. The Tarebreeches Creek program has helped producers protect and improve soil and water resources within the watershed. The above photos – taken on land farmed by Steve Wilbanks – are evidence of the impact of the program. The first picture (above left) shows the gully that was in need of repair. Runoff water was leaving the field in an unsafe manner and created this gully. The second picture (above right) shows the riser pipe being installed. The gully was dug out and elevation found for riser pipe. During excavation, subsurface water flow became problematic and had to be addressed. Tile drain was installed at different levels to aid in removing water from the site. A concrete foundation was poured in place to secure and steady the pipe so soil could be back-filled around the pipe. The third picture (left) shows the practice installed. Once the levee was built and all dirt work completed, the disturbed area was seeded and mulched to protect the structure and reduce sediment being deposited into Tarebreeches Creek.
1st District congressional candidates voice platforms Associated Press
PONTOTOC — Twelve of the 13 candidates running in a special election in Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District appeared Tuesday at an event in Pontotoc. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reported the candidates had six minutes each to speak. Although candidates run without party labels in special elections, most in the race identify as Re-
publicans. One, Walter Zinn, is a Democrat. The winner will succeed the late Republican Rep. Alan Nunnelee, who died in early February. The special election is May 12, and a runoff is June 2. Columbus businessman Boyce Adams touted his experience as a small Mississippi business owner that has allowed him to see firsthand the burden and challenges regula-
tions are placing on Mississippians every day. “We have a great opportunity to get this country back on track, to get America back to work and to get Mississippi back to work,� Adams said. Republican state Sen. Nancy Collins of Tupelo emphasized her experience in state government and voting record for conservative values, but said she doesn’t consider herself a career politician
as much as someone who has held a variety of careers in her lifetime. “I stood up to politicians in Jackson, and I’ll do the same in Washington,� Collins said. Tupelo dentist Ed Holliday emphasized his constitutional conservative values, such as protecting the sanctity of life and the definition of marriage being between a man and a woman. “When Washington is
not working, the worst thing we can do is to send another politician to Washington,� Holliday said. Emergency room physician Dr. Starner Jones of Pontotoc said his experiences in fixing people in the medical profession could translate to the same in Washington by taking on responsibilities from a new perspective, not as a politician. “America is in a state of
crisis,� Jones said. “These politicians aren’t fixing a thing.� District Attorney Trent Kelly of Saltillo touted his military and combat service as giving him the onthe-ground experience needed to make tough decisions in Washington, but quickly clarified that those decisions would be made using his strong religious beliefs. “I love this great nation. We’re not broke.�

Today
Economic bellwether Wholesale companies have been increasing their stockpiles only modestly in recent months in response to weak sales. Stockpiles held by wholesale businesses rose 0.3 percent in January after no change in December and a 0.8 percent November increase. Sales of wholesale goods plunged in January by the largest amount in six years. The decline marked the fourth consecutive month that sales fell. The Commerce Department reports February figures today.

On target? Do you have enough money to retire? Its a question everyone wants to be able to answer “yes,� but it’s one many people don’t want to think about. That’s where target-date mutual funds come in. Investors pick a fund that's pegged to the year they plan to retire. When that target date is far off, such a fund keeps nearly all of its assets in stocks. It then shifts more of the portfolio into bonds and other safer investments as the planned retirement-year approaches. Target-date funds took in $49 billion in new money last year; growing their total assets to $706 billion. The marketplace is dominated by Vanguard, Fidelity Investments and T. Rowe Price, which collectively control 71 percent of target-date fund assets, according to Morningstar. But are the funds any good? Target-date fund performance can vary widely, even for the same target year, so a blanket answer doesn’t fit. When selecting a fund investors need to look beyond the target year and understand how quickly, or slowly, the portfolio shifts on a scale from aggressive to more conservative holdings.

Woman asks what to do about online love interest WIZARD OF ID
DILBERT
GARFIELD
FORT KNOX
PICKLES
Dear Annie: Eight months ago, I met the love of my life online. Everything started off great. “Jay” and I chatted every day. However, at one point, a past lover of his intervened and warned me about some of his “issues.” I became a little bit paranoid and asked Jay to explain his side of things. He didn’t want to at first, but he finally relented, and we continued on. I told him I loved him. Three months ago, Jay decided there was no way we could be anything more than friends. I struggled with just being friends, but eventually, I accepted it. Now, Jay seems to be making more and more friends and is phasing me out. One of my dearest friends died last week, and Jay hasn’t bothered to provide any comfort. I would cease all communication, but it would be difficult because the Internet community we belong to includes many mutual friends and chat forums. Should I remain socalled friends or just let him go? — Confused Web Reader Dear Confused: Please let him go. Jay is not the love of your life. You have confused the excitement of your initial contact with love, but now you have seen Jay’s true
Annie’s Mailbox character. He isn’t interested in having a romantic relationship with you. If you think you can remain part of the same Internet community and not pine over him, fine. Try to ignore him as best you can. Otherwise, please expand your online presence so you aren’t as dependent on this particular community of people. Dear Annie: I dread going to my niece’s first baby shower. At the last one I went to that included our family, there were older mothers who proceeded to tell horror stories about labor and delivery. No one needs to hear the in-depth details of their birth process, and especially not a first-time mother. Some people speak before they think. How can I politely get them to shut up? — Dreading Showers Dear Showers: If someone should start replaying the details of their birth experience, it’s perfectly OK to say, in mock horror, “Heavens! Please don’t discuss that in
front of all of us! A baby is a wonderful gift, and we all want ‘Suzie’ to look forward to the experience. I know you don’t mean to be so negative about it.” They may insist they are only being informative, but new mothers are nervous enough without adding to their worries by relaying stories about what could possibly go wrong. Of course, some stories are funny or uplifting, and those should be encouraged. Dear Annie: Thanks for printing the letter from Magi Linscott, encouraging kids not to smoke. I quit smoking more than eight years ago, and I am so glad. I now know what my late father used to experience after he quit and then smelled cigarette smoke: He got sick. I do, too. I cannot believe this is what I used to smell like. My wife told me I stopped wheezing in my sleep within two weeks of quitting. And my VA health care providers are very happy with me. If you’re still smoking, STOP! Don’t say it’s impossible. I smoked two packs a day for 40 years. Thanks for letting me vent, Annie. — Grateful Ex-Smoker in Campbellsville, Ky.

Favorite uncle reveals himself with shocking text message D E A R ABBY: I am heartbroken. I have an uncle “Tony” I’m close to, who is like my best friend. I was sendAbigail ing Van Buren tureshimof pic-a football game Dear Abby and he sent me back a very inappropriate picture of himself. He says it was a “mistake,” that it was supposed to go to his wife, but the text message he sent with it showed different. I don’t want to be around him. I’m disgusted and hurt over this. I need advice. What do I do? -- HEARTBROKEN IN GEORGIA DEAR HEARTBROKEN: Share the photo and texts with your parents and ask what they think about them. Then ask if they think you should forward the picture and text message to your aunt with a note explaining Uncle Tony said they were meant for her, and you didn’t want her to miss them. Because he makes you uncomfortable, listen to your intuition and keep your distance because what he did was appalling. DEAR ABBY: I’m a female
working full-time in an office with all men. Yesterday afternoon, I ate a salad that contained several varieties of beans. I was standing outside my boss’ office, laughing at a joke one of the salesmen was telling when the beans got the best of me and I passed gas. I was mortified and wanted to sink through the floor! I patted the salesman on the arm and said, “I guess that’s what I think of the joke,” and walked back into my office. I didn’t know what else to say or do. Today I can’t look either of them in the face. Since this seems to be something that happens to older people (I’m 69), and it’s something we often don’t have total control over -- please tell me how to “recover.” If this should happen again, what on earth does one say or do? -- BEANS, THE MUSICAL FRUIT DEAR B.T.M.F.: Stop beating yourself up over this. Expelling gas is normal. According to the National Institutes of Health, the average person passes gas about 14 times a day -- although probably not as spectacularly as you did. If it happens again, don’t try to be funny. Just say, “Excuse me,” and if the “toot” is a fragrant one, distance yourself.
I’m positive that would be appreciated. DEAR ABBY: We are planning to give a joint baby shower next month for two sisters-in-law who are expecting their babies three weeks apart. The joint shower is a necessity because some of the relatives will need to travel quite a distance to attend. Most of the guests know both girls, but some will know only one of them. Is there a way we can word the invitation so these guests won’t feel obligated to “gift” both babies? Any suggestions will be gratefully appreciated because we are stumped. -- STUMPED IN OHIO DEAR STUMPED: Put nothing on the invitations themselves mentioning gifts. However, it is acceptable to include an INSERT along with the invitation that states gifts for both babies are not expected. If the shower is going to be a large one, you could email the guests to relay the information. However, if it will be relatively small, pick up the phone and call. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are some difficult things about life that don’t get easier; they just get different. Try to get comfortable with the situation. This will have nothing to do with acquiring resources and everything to do with acceptance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s so much entertainment in the playground of your mind that you may be content to stay in and enjoy your mental process. However, push yourself to go out -- you’ll have more fun. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be careful how you lay out your opinions. When you describe things, you create an idea of them in the minds of others, and that will strongly influence what happens next. CANCER (June 22-July 22). This isn’t always the case, but in today’s scenario, your tremendous expectations of people will contribute favorably to the outcome. You’ll choose your associates well, and they will rise to the
occasion you picture. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have to own something before you can give it away. Today this is also true of happiness. Be happy in yourself first, and then you’ll be able to make someone else happy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Stop judging yourself so harshly. You may think it’s keeping you to a higher standard, but it’s not. Being mean inside your head won’t help. Would you say those things to anyone else you love? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Uncomfortable feelings are part of the survival instinct package you were given when you were born. Whatever you feel, hundreds of thousands of others are experiencing a similar feeling right at this moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Filtered through the lens of negative thoughts, your environment won’t look as chock-full of opportunity as it really is. Shake it off so you can see possibilities.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Looking busy is better than idleness on display; however, you prefer to actually do something useful. Useful activities create a circuit that brings the energy you expend right back to you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can’t do anything about your starting position today, but you can pick up from wherever that is and move consistently forward. Keep your eye on the destination. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The idea you abandoned many moons ago can still be revived. It was a good idea then, and the new twist you’ll think of could make it even better. Brainstorm with a Libra or Leo. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Love isn’t going to sneak up and surprise you today, but if you make an effort to create playful communication and a tender dynamic, you might be favorably impressed by what develops out of the effort.

» MVP, CY YOUNG CANDIDATES
2015 Predictions NL EAST
AL EAST
David Ortiz
The Tigers have won four AL CENTRAL consecutive American League 1. DETROIT Central titles, and a fifth is 2. CHICAGO* most likely in the cards. 3. KANSAS CITY However, the Tigers’ best 4. CLEVELAND hitters—Miguel Cabrera 5. MINNESOTA and Victor Martinez— are aging, and former ace Justin Verlander is coming off two sub-par seasons by his lofty standards. New ace David Price replaces Max Scherzer, but the key to the season will be Detroit’s suspect bullpen. The White Sox were aggressive in the offseason with the additions of starter Jeff Samardzija and closer David Robertson. The Royals, coming off of a tough Game 7 loss in the World Series, will again rely on speed, defense and their deep bullpen.
Miguel Cabrera
AL WEST
After the signing of Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson a few years ago, the subsequent addition of Josh Hamilton and the emergence of superstar Mike Trout, most Angels fans certainly expected a World Series title by now; or an appearance in the Fall Classic at the very least. The rotation of veteran Jered Weaver, Wilson, Matt Shoemaker and Garrett Richards will determine just how far the Angels fly this season. The Seattle Mariners will be on the Angels’ heels all season, and are likely the league’s second-best team. Seattle features an MVP candidate in Robinson Cano and Cy Young candidate Felix Hernandez. The up-and-coming Astros were certainly encouraged by finishing ahead of Texas last season, but the Rangers appear to have a healthier lineup in 2015. 1. LOS ANGELES 2. SEATTLE* 3. TEXAS 4. HOUSTON 5. OAKLAND
*wild card teams
The Washington Bryce Harper Nationals were the darlings of the 2014 preseason, and are repeating again this season. Whether they can become darlings of the postseason remains to be seen, but we believe 2015 is the Nationals’ year. The addition of Max Scherzer deepens an already strong rotation. Miami and New York have bright futures that give supporters optimism. The Marlins should be exciting offensively with Dee Gordon atop the lineup in front of rising star Christian Yelich and slugger Giancarlo Stanton. Closely watched stories in this division will be the return from Tommy John surgery of the Mets’ Matt Harvey and Jose Fernandez of Miami. 1. WASHINGTON 2. MIAMI 3. NEW YORK 4. ATLANTA 5. PHILADELPHIA
NL CENTRAL
The St. Louis Cardinals have played in the last four NLCS, yet the veteran-laden team led by ace Adam Wainwright is hungry for another World Series. Newcomer Jason Heyward takes over in right field, and Carlos Martinez will take Shelby Miller’s spot in the rotation. Very little else has changed in St. Louis from last season. The Pirates feature one of the best outfields in baseball with Starling Marte, Andrew McCutchen and Gregory Polanco. The Bucs may not have enough pitching to compete with the Redbirds. The Chicago Cubs drew attention over the winter with the hiring of manager Joe Maddon and the signing of ace Jon Lester. 1. ST. LOUIS 2. PITTSBURGH* 3. CHICAGO 4. MILWAUKEE 5. CINCINNATI
Adam Wainwright
So, what do the Los Angeles Dodgers do with an apparently limitless payroll after winning consecutive NL West titles? Make dramatic changes, that’s what. Gone are former MVP Matt Kemp from the outfield and Hanley Ramirez from shortstop. Veterans Jimmy Rollins and Howie Kendrick will take over in the middle of the infield and Rookie of the Year candidate Joc Pederson takes over center field. There are few 1-2 punches better than starting pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke. The Giants, even with the loss of third baseman Pablo Sandoval will be tough to beat. The rotation and bullpen are among the deepest in the league. The San Diego Padres made strides over the winter with the Clayton Kershaw additions of Kemp and starter James Shields.

1. Mike Trout, Los Angeles The reigning AL MVP posted arguably his thirdbest season last year to capture the award. At age 23, his best is still ahead of him. He has averaged 35 doubles, 31 homers and 118 runs over the first three full seasons of his career. 2. Robinson Cano, Seattle The second baseman has finished in the top six in MVP voting each of the last five years. His time will come, and it may be in 2015. 3. Jose Abreu, Chicago The 2014 Rookie of the Year is a seasoned veteran now.
1. Giancarlo Stanton, Miami The stout slugger was on track for the award last year when a horrific injury ended his season on Sept. 11 when he was hit in the face with a pitch. Stanton led the NL with 37 homers and a .555 slugging percentage. 2. Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh The Pirates’ centerfielder led the circuit with an .410 on-base percentage and .952 OPS.
AL CY YOUNG CANDIDATES
NL CY YOUNG CANDIDATES
Expectations rising every season. Redbirds should stay perched atop the NL Central. Joc Pederson will help fans quickly forget Matt Kemp. Kole Calhoun is catalyst atop the lineup. Bullpen could be Achilles heel for otherwise strong club. ROY Jose Abreu must continue to dominate. Rotation lacks a true ace, but features strong depth. Made few upgrades over the winter. If rotation excels, this will be a fun summer in Pittsburgh. Deepest rotation in American League. Pagan, Panik, Pence and Posey pack a powerful punch. Have improved win total for five consecutive seasons. Bautista, Donaldson and Encarnacion comprise a tough trio. Will A-Rod’s return be a distraction or non-issue? So, how soon will Kris Bryant be called up? Additions in outfield improve offense, destroy defense. Improving Tribe left behind in tough division. Rebuilding around Evan Longoria and young pitchers. Tied with Houston for the longest active streak of losing seasons. Dee Gordon, Christian Yelich could combine to steal 100 bases. Injury bug bit hard last season and claimed Yu Darvish in 2015. Paul Goldschmidt is a solid MVP candidate. Carlos Gomez may be most exciting player in the league. Closer Craig Kimbrel could be trade bait this season. Punchless Reds also lack pitching depth. Houston has rising stars all over the field. Youngsters beginning to pay dividends. Can Troy Tulowitzki stay healthy this season? Ace Sonny Gray will find little run support. Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee not likely to be in Philly all season.
Consecutive winning seasons as a manager for Terry Francona of the Cleveland Indians. Francona led the Red Sox to eight straight winning seasons before joining the Indians in 2013. The skipper began his managerial career in Philadelphia with four consecutive seasons with 85 or more losses.

NUMBERS GAME
1. Felix Hernandez, Seattle The tough righthander led the American League in both ERA and WHIP last season, and garnered 13 of the 30 first-place votes for the Cy Young award. He won the award in 2010 and has finished second twice. 2. David Price, Detroit Price, who won the award in 2012, is now the ace of the Tigers and should pile up some wins. 3. Chris Sale, Chicago Sale suffered a broken foot early in spring training while moving furniture, but is expected to be at full strength by the end of April.
3. Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles The reigning MVP would be the only pitcher to win back-to-back MVP awards in more than 60 years. 1. Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Kershaw has been as dominant over the past three seasons as any pitcher since Sandy Koufax in the early 1960s. It’s unlikely another pitcher will wrestle this award away from him. 2. Jordan Zimmermann, Wash. Zimmermann, one of three aces on the Nationals, has posted a 33-14 record over the past two seasons with a 1.080 WHIP. 3. Adam Wainwright, St. Louis The leader of the Cardinals’ staff has finished second and third in Cy Young voting the last two years.
PROSPECTS TO WATCH Kris Bryant, Chicago Cubs Fans had to have had their heads buried not to know what Bryant accomplished with the bat in spring training. The Cubs are delaying his arrival in order to keep another year of control down the road. But he belongs in the big leagues already. Byron Buxton, Minnesota He battled through a wrist injury last season and missed time after suffering a concussion in an outfield collision. But he has Gold Glove potential and immense talent at the plate. Joc Pederson, Los Angeles Dodgers The Dodgers are handing him the keys to center field this season, and he shouldn’t disappoint. Carlos Rodon, Chicago White Sox With a fastball in the upper 90s and a devastating slider, Rodon could find his way to the majors this season with improvement of his offspeed stuff.
TRIVIA CORNER After making 14 consecutive Opening Day starts at shortstop for the Philadelphia Phillies, Jimmy Rollins will suit up for the Dodgers this season. Can you name the two players with the longest current Opening Day start streaks with their current teams? Written and compiled by Charlie Miller. Follow Charlie on Twitter: @AthlonCharlie. Email: Charlie.Miller@athlonsports.com TRIVIA ANSWER: David Wright has made 10 straight starts at third base for the Mets, and Yadier Molina has been behind the plate for the Cardinals every Opening Day since 2005.
No longer is the American League East the best division in baseball. The 1. BOSTON quintet is not even the best in the AL. 2. BALTIMORE But it may be the most competitive 3. TORONTO this season. After winning the 4. NEW YORK 2013 World Series, the Boston 5. TAMPA BAY Red Sox fell to fifth last season. Free agents Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez join David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia to immediately turn this lineup into a juggernaut— if they stay healthy, which is a big if. The Orioles finished 25 games ahead of Boston last season, and with the healthy return of catcher Matt Wieters and third baseman Manny Machado, Baltimore hopes to replace the loss of slugger Nelson Cruz. Toronto and New York both have a few too many holes in their pitching staffs.
Longtime catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who retired at the end of the 2014 season, will not be behind the plate on Opening Day for the first time since 2000. Pierzynski had made 14 consecutive starts on Opening Day for five different clubs. He started three Opening Days for Minnesota, one for the Giants, then eight for the White Sox, one for Texas and last season for Boston...The last shortstop other than Jimmy Rollins to start for the Phillies on Opening Day was Desi Relaford, who made three OD starts for the Phils from 1998-2000...Alex Rodriguez, perhaps the most famous con man in American sports, needs just seven home runs to pass Willie Mays for fourth on the all-time list. With 27 RBIs, A-Rod will move past Yankee legend Lou Gehrig for fourth on the all-time RBI list. A 28th run batted in and Rodriguez will pass Barry Bonds for third place. And the slugger needs just 61 hits for 3,000 in his checkered career...San Francisco ace Madison Bumgarner was unworldly during the 2014 postseason, leading the Giants to their third World Series title in five years. So what can the Giants expect from their ace this season? Recent history suggests that Bumgarner may suffer ill effects from the heavy workload last season. In 2003, a young Josh Beckett led the Marlins to their second World Series title and struggled through a 9-9 season in 2004. In 2008, Cole Hamels was dominant for the Phillies, garnering MVP awards for both the NLCS and World Series. Hamels followed up with the worst season of his career, going 10-11 with a 4.32 ERA in 2009.

Cubs add portable potties to ease bathroom lines The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Relief of a different sort arrived Wednesday for fans at Wrigley Field. The Chicago Cubs installed 72 portable restroom units at Wrigley Field before Wednesday’s game with St. Louis, hoping to end the long lines experienced by many fans at times during the season opener Sunday night. The second-oldest stadium in the major leagues to Boston’s Fenway Park is undergoing a massive
renovation. Portions of one men’s room and one women’s room on the left side of the main concourse were scheduled to be unavailable until May or June, and there was a problem Sunday in the women’s restroom on the left side of the upper deck. The result were waits of up to an hour at some restrooms, with some fans resorting to using cups to relieve themselves. Many photos were posted to social media sites, an unwelcome issue for the Cubs
as they opened their season with a new manager and their perennial high hopes. “There are going to be growing pains, building pains — however you want to say it — with the ballpark,” general manager Jed Hoyer said. “Unfortunately, we caught that a little bit on opening day. Hopefully, we’ll get all that stuff behind us and focus on the players. Our team is what you want to talk about, not bathroom lines or port-a-potties.” Carl Rice, the Cubs’ vice
president of ballpark operations, said the team had been clear that there would be a shortage of the usual restrooms as the season began. But the need surprised even the Cubs. “When we started to lose the bathrooms in the left-field upper deck and sent fans down to the concourse, it created even more gridlock,” he said. “We did not expect that we were going to have the situation we had and in hindsight we should have had the portable rest-
rooms here.” All 72 portable units were installed along the left side of the ballpark. Rice said the total number of “fixtures” out of commission because of the renovations is 72 (38 men’s and 34 women’s) and the construction schedule has been extended. Work will now be allowed to go on during games to speed up the process. There were no apparent issues on Wednesday. With a crowd about half the size of the 35,000 in
attendance for the opener, waits were short. The Cubs are in the first phase of what is expected to be a four- or five-year process of renovating the ballpark, which opened in 1914. Some have speculated that the team should have moved elsewhere — either U.S. Cellular on the South Side or Miller Park in Milwaukee — to allow the work to get done faster and without playing games in a construction zone. Rice said there are no plans to move any games.

AC clubs sweep 3rd straight meet BY H. LEE SMITH II
For the Daily Corinthian
lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
BLUE MOUNTAIN — Parrish Tice, one of north Mississippi’s top high school guards, has signed a basketball scholarship with Blue Mountain College. Tice, a 5-8 guard who played at Kossuth High School, averaged 24.8 points a game for the Lady Aggies this year. “Parrish is an outstanding person, excellent student and tremendous basketball player,” BMC coach Lavon Driskell said. She scored more than 30 points nine times in her final regular season, including 38 points in a loss to Nettleton and 40 in a win over Corinth. Tice had a four-game stretch in January when she scored 31, 33, 33 and 31 points. “Parrish will fit well in our system and with our team,” said Driskell “She knows how to score and will be a positive contribution to our BMC campus and women’s basketball program.”
Alcorn Central managed to do plenty of damage in a shortened meet. After rain washed out the majority of the field events, six schools returned to Iuka for the 11 running events in the Tishomingo County High School Invitational. “We started back up with the 3200 run and all the running events were completed with no more delays,” AC Coach Bobby Purvis said of the TuesdayWednesday affair. The Bears, now 18-0, compiled 132 points to more than double up Itawamba AHS who was a distant second with 61 points. The Lady Bears, also 18-0,
totaled 123 points -- 47 better that the Lady Indians. “We were very pleased with the number of points we were able to total while scoring only 11 of the 17 events,” said Purvis. Kossuth (57) finished third in the girls’ competition, while the Aggies (24) were fifth. • The Central boys totaled seven first-place finishes out of 11 events, including the 4x200 and 4x400 relays. They failed on their bid in the 4x100 following a disqualification for dropping the baton. Samuel Holley and Brandon Turner paced the individual honors with two titles each. Holley took the 800 and 1600 run -- setting a school
record in the latter with a time of 4:46.5 -- while Turner swept the hurdle events. • The AC girls claimed six firsts out of 11 events, including the 4x400 relay. Mallory Wigginton and Ashlee Manahan led the way with two individual titles each. Wigginton swept the hurdle events, while Manahan took the 800 and 1600 runs. Boys Team 1. Alcorn Central 132, 2.

Masters offers a learning curve for most The Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods was the exception. Ben Crenshaw was closer to the rule. Woods joined up with Crenshaw to play the back nine Wednesday on the final day of practice for a Masters that is shaping up as a mystery in many ways. They are Masters champions with multiple green jackets. What separates them is how soon they got them. Crenshaw had to suffer
a little before he could celebrate his first major. He was a runner-up four times in the majors, including a playoff loss to David Graham at the PGA Championship, before he broke through in 1984 at Augusta National. He won another one in 1995. Woods wasted no time. He won the first major he played as a pro by setting 20 records in his 1997 Masters victory, and that was only the start. He already had eight majors before he recorded his first
runner-up finish. He had four green jackets before he turned 30. More players have taken the Crenshaw route. Tom Watson. Nick Price. Phil Mickelson. Adam Scott. The group even includes Jack Nicklaus, who was a 20-yearold amateur when he finished second behind Arnold Palmer in the 1960 U.S. Open. Nicklaus played that day with Ben Hogan, who also had a chance to win until he hit into the water on the 17th hole at
Cherry Hills. Hogan said after the round, “Don’t feel sorry for me. I played with a kid today who could have won this Open by 10 shots if he had known now.” Nicklaus figured it out. Also on that list is Rory McIlroy, who returns to the scene of his greatest lesson in a major. He was a 21-year-old with a four-shot lead at the Masters in 2011, ready to be crowned Please see MASTERS | 13

Huskies fans celebrate 10th women’s title The Associated Press
STORRS, Conn. — UConn students on Tuesday repeated what has become an annual tradition of storming the court at Gampel Pavilion after watching their Huskies win another national championship. The game was played almost 1,300 miles away in Tampa, but more than 2,000 fans gathered at the Huskies’
home arena to watch the game on three large screens set up on the arena floor. They began chanting “I believe that we will win,” after the Huskies took a 13-point lead late in the second half. They rushed to the floor as the final seconds wound down and began bouncing up and down as “We Are the Champions” blared from the arena’s speakers.
The party then spilled out onto Fairfield Way, where there was more music and dancing to celebrate the women’s 10th title and third in a row. “It never gets old,” said Dan Byrd, a sophomore from Cheshire. “This is the third (title) game I’ve been to, and it’s great every single time.” The students began lining up in the rain outside the
arena more than two hours before the scheduled tip, and once inside, treated it as a home game. They stood and faced the flag in the arena during the national anthem, chanted “Let’s go UConn,” when the game was tight, and even fought over T-shirts fired into the crowd.

Johnson talks Final Four, football and Duke The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala .— Avery Johnson envisions leading Alabama basketball deeper into the NCAA Tournament than it’s ever been and ambitiously chooses fivetime national champion Duke as his model program. Johnson, who was formally introduced as the Crimson Tide’s coach on Wednesday, fully embraces the prospect of coaching at a school which
boasts arguably college football’s equivalent of Duke hoops. He met with football coach Nick Saban — ‘Bama’s version of Coach K — for about 30 minutes before taking the podium. “Coach Saban, with his personality and all his success, that doesn’t scare me,” said Johnson, a close friend of New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton. “It’s like a magnet for me. I’ve had my own
success. I’ve gone places a lot of coaches haven’t gone before and I have my own personality. With a guy like coach Saban, that was one of the things that attracted me to the University of Alabama. “I was going to get interviewed by some other power 5 conferences that didn’t have the program like the University of Alabama. I think it’s a huge plus.” Johnson, 50, takes over a
hoops program that’s been to the NCAA Tournament only once since 2004 after a couple of years out of coaching. The 16-year NBA player received a six-year contract worth about $2.8 million annually, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because Alabama doesn’t Please see JOHNSON | 13

the next big thing in golf, when he shot 80 in the final round. He handled the collapse with remarkable poise, said he would learn from his mistakes. And then he posted scoring records at Congressional two months later in the U.S. Open. “A lot of that win has to do with what happened at Augusta,” McIlroy said. The Masters is even more meaningful now. It the only major keeping him from the career Grand Slam, and McIlroy will be the clear favorite when the Masters begins Thursday. “Everything I’ve done, all the work I’ve done gearing up for this week has been good,”
McIlroy said. “I’m just ready for the gun to go off on Thursday.” The expectations are higher than ever for McIlroy, and lower than ever for Woods, who is competing for the first time since Feb. 5. That’s when he walked off the course at Torrey Pines to work on a game that had become so bad that hardly anyone recognized it. Woods has shown much improvement in three days of practice, including the nine holes he played with Crenshaw and Jordan Spieth. McIlroy and Woods, even at different ends of the spectrum, have dominated the talk so much this week that a large group of contenders have largely been ignored.

cheerleaders and dance team performed during timeouts. The school has made a tradition of opening the basketball arena for title games. Senior Hillary Kranz of Colchester has been to four in the past four years, including two a year ago when both the men and the women won NCAA championships. “From the time I was little, I had UConn onesies, UConn sweat-
shirts,” she said. “This is my last game ever at Gampel before I graduate. It’s been very full circle.” This was the 14th championship for UConn’s basketball teams. The women improved to 10-0 in title games. The men are 4-0. “UConn is the basketball capital of the world,” said Tim Lim, 21, a junior from East Bay, California, who was decked out in a blue wig and sunglasses, with a blue and white lei around his neck.

release contract details until they’re approved by the trustees’ compensation committee. His former coach at Southern, Ben Jobe, was on hand, along with onetime Tide coaches Wimp Sanderson and C.M. Newton. Jobe recalled his former player setting up tutoring programs, collecting food for the needy and starting a Big Brother program at Southern, then paying for seven or eight kids to attend the university. “He established so many things students
don’t even think about,” Jobe said. “Those things are still in place.” Johnson said he had “a burning desire” to get back into coaching and make his first foray into the college ranks after attending most of his son Avery Jr.’s games last season at Texas A&M. Athletic director Bill Battle gave him that chance. Johnson, who also was coaching the Nets when they moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn, led the Mavericks to their first NBA Finals in his debut season in 2006 after getting promoted from assistant.

NFL hires Thomas, 1st female official The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Sarah Thomas saw the New York City area code pop up on her phone and started praying it was the NFL calling to say she’d been hired as a full-time game official. Not because that would make her the first woman to hold the job. Her hopes were those of any longtime official on the cusp of working at the sport’s pinnacle. Thomas will be a line judge for the 2015 season, the league announced Wednesday. She’s proud to serve as an example that anyone can succeed in any endeavor. But breaking down barriers was just a byproduct of her goals, not the goal itself. “It’s just a mindset of an official that you don’t want to be seen or noticed,” Thomas said on a conference call with reporters. Then again, the NFL doesn’t typically host a conference call for a newly hired official. The 41-yearold Thomas was both selfassured and self-deprecating in fielding questions, unfazed by the attention but also trying to deflect it. She’s already become the first female official at the major college football level and the first to work a bowl game. Thomas expects to still wear her hair tucked inside her cap. She started doing it on a suggestion that it would keep her from sticking out, though these days it’s more about
habit than an attempt to blend in. “I think my hair’s the least of my concerns,” Thomas said, laughing. “I know that I will probably stand out being the first,” she added, “but as far as players and coaches, I’ve been around a good little while, and I think they know who I am and just want to make sure I can do my job.” Thomas was in the league’s officiating development program in 2013 and ‘14 and
has worked at minicamps, training camps and exhibition games. She has officiated for Conference USA since 2007, with assignments including the Senior Bowl, the Pizza Bowl, the Fight Hunger Bowl, the Medal of Honor Bowl, and the league championship game in 2010 and ‘14. Thomas officiated two seasons in the United Football League, which is now out of business. “If you look at Sarah’s background and her jour-
ney to get here, this is not something that happened overnight,” said Dean Blandino, the NFL’s vice president of officiating. “She’s been officiating 20 years and been on our radar screen for 8-9 years.” Thomas worked a Ravens preseason game last year, and coach John Harbaugh said that “she might be one of the better ones we’ve had.” “She’s a good ref,” he added, “so it was a good choice.”
