Northeast president retiring in June

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Johnny Allen has announced plans for retirement.

Allen, who has served as the ninth president of the college since 2004, informed the college’s board of trustees he plans to step down from the school’s top job on June 30.

A native of Biggersville, Allen is

one of only two NEMCC alumnus to serve as president of the school. His long history with the college began as an instructor of agriculture and natural science from 1982 to 1990.

He then moved into administration, serving as dean of instruction and vocational technical director from 1990-2003 and vice-president of instruction and student services from 2003-2004. His career in education

began as an agriculture teacher at Alcorn Central High School where he taught from 1978-1982.

A release from the college notes Allen has led with a commitment to the students, faculty and staff and to the fiscal condition of the school.

Under his leadership the college expanded its footprint to include campuses in Corinth and New Albany and completed several major

construction and renovation projects including the T. Jack Ramsey student services building.

Allen and his wife of 38 years, the former Christi Cartwright of Booneville, have two children, Jessica Morris, a science teacher at Thrasher school and John Allen Jr., an agriculture instructor at Jumpertown High School. He also has one granddaughter, Laura Kate Morris.

ACHS Senior Sounds brings ’80s to life

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

There is no need for the world wide web when it comes to taking a look back at the 1980s.

Alcorn Central High School is set to take individuals back to the period with its annual Senior Sounds production.

“Glory Dayz” hits the stage for three consecutive nights at the Corinth Civic Center Coliseum beginning today at 7 p.m. Performances are also scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

“The show will remind the audience what all happened during the 1980s,” said director Twila Bridges. “The kids will be singing and rocking to

80s music as they go back in time.”

The decade began with the popular video game, Pac-Man being released. Rubik’s Cube also debuted during 1980.

“E.T.” was released in 1982 as was Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

In 1984, the PG-13 movie rating was created. The following year, “Back to the Future” – starring Michael J. Fox – hit theaters and the new Coke debuted.

“The kids really bond during Senior Sounds,” said Bridges.

“They know the end of their high school time is close and they are excited to do the shows.”

The annual event has been moved up this year, Normally, done in May, the annual performances are being staged earlier due to state testing and athletic postseason events.

Tickets for the any of the three performance nights can be purchased by going to www. seniorsounds.net.

Seats closest to the stage are $12 with the rest of the seating available for $10.

Online ticket sales will be closed at 3 p.m. each day.

“I recommend getting there early,” said Bridges.

DVDs can also be ordered.

According to Bridges, the DVDs will be available the night of graduation.

Corinth police are searching for two suspects wanted in connection with a Wednesday afternoon shooting on Cass Street which left two victims injured.

According to Police Chief Ralph Dance, one or two gunshots were fired into a Mercury Grand Marquis sedan in the South Gate Shopping Center parking lot between McDonald’s and Belk around 5:45 p.m.

Two individuals were injured by gun fire.

“The victims left the Cass Street area heading to the hospital when they lost control of their vehicle,” said Dance. “According to the victims, no one

was chasing them.”

The driver lost control of the vehicle and wrecked at Gaylean Road and U.S. 72 near the Crossroads Chevrolet dealership.

One victim was airlifted to Regional One Health in Memphis, while the second victim was transported to Magnolia Regional Health Center.

“Although there are a lot of pieces to this puzzle, we do not at this time believe this shooting was gang-related,” added Dance.

Police are looking for a black Ford pickup with one driver and one passenger.

Commission focuses on future of county

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Commission on the Future of Alcorn County continues the work of steering the community to a better quality of life.

“What I’ve seen here all day today has been incredibly impressive to me,” said Brent Christensen, executive director of the Mississippi Development Authority, during the commission’s annual meeting Tuesday evening. “The communities that are best at economic development are the ones where the private sector and the public sector leadership are all on the same page, and it’s readily apparent. When you all have prospects that come to your community, you can’t fake that.

They’ll know. You’re not faking

it here, and it’s readily apparent.”

The commission gathered to reflect on progress of the past year with brief reports from each of its task forces in the areas of strengthening families, Excel by 5, dropout prevention and GED recovery, education, workforce development, city and county long-term planning, and infrastructure.

The newest task force deals with workforce development, and the new mobile training lab of Northeast Mississippi Community College was on hand at Corinth High School to show one of the ways the task force sees progress being made. CHS seniors and juniors toured the lab earlier in the day.

New permit process underway for alligator hunting in state

Keesler keeps squadron with 10 transport planes

BY MATT SIGLER For The Associated Press

NATCHEZ, Miss. — With growth comes change, and that is no different when it comes to alligator hunting.

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks recently announced there will be a major change in how alligator hunters will receive tags.

“The changes won’t be final until May, but it has been approved by the commission and goes through a 30 day comment period,” Mississippi Wildlife Fisheries and Parks alligator program coordinator Ricky Flynt said.

Previously, hunters received tags based on a

lottery. But now, hunters will have to be on their toes if they want to be able to hit the swamps.

“We decided to go on a first come first serve purchase process,” Flynt said. “The customer is required to pay for their permit and the alligator hunting license at the same time. All the permits will go on sale at the same time on July 14.”

“The changes came about, first, for the fact that the procedures in place like the drawing and training class were set up early on, when we had a much smaller opportunity as far as permits and interest in alligator hunting,” he said. “The growth and interest in it has out-

grown that system, and we are seeing a need to end increased participation among people being picked.”

Flynt said each hunter is allowed to buy one permit in one zone.

“There are seven zones in the state,” he said.

“There are no changes with the zones and the number of permits remains the same. The process is just changing.”

Flynt said the population of alligators in the state is still healthy, but believes keeping an eye on numbers is important.

“The population is still quite abundant, and I don’t believe the amount of harvesting occurring on a statewide basis is detrimental,” he said.

BILOXI — Keesler Air Force Base in south Mississippi will keep the 815th Tactical Airlift Squadron and its 10 transport planes, federal officials said Tuesday.

The Air Force had considered moving the squadron to another state, but announced Tuesday that the group will remain at Keesler. The C130-J planes are known as “Flying Jennies.”

Republican Gov. Phil Bryant and members of Mississippi’s congressional delegation had tried for more than three years to persuade the Pentagon to keep the squadron at Keesler.

In a joint statement, Republican Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker and Republican Rep. Steven Palazzo praised the Air Force announcement.

“The Air Force proposal to relocate aircraft from south Mississippi never made sense from an op-

erational or taxpayer perspective, two points that we’ve stressed from the beginning,” said Cochran, the Senate Appropriations Committee chairman. “The reexamination and rejection of that plan is the right decision, and I look forward to additional conversations with the Air Force to ensure the manpower and mission of the 815th Tactical Airlift Squadron are fully restored.”

The Mississippi congressional delegation put restrictions in a defense bill that required the Air Force to give detailed reports to Congress about the feasibility of moving the 815th away from Keesler. The restrictions banned the Air Force from moving the planes until after the reports were filed.

Wicker said the decision to keep the planes at Keesler brings stability to the base and surrounding communities.

“We successfully made

the case that the transfer of the planes would not achieve the savings the Air Force seemed to suggest,” Wicker said.

“This was not an easy fight, but it was one that needed to be fought.”

Palazzo, whose district includes Keesler, called Tuesday’s announcement “a great victory for south Mississippi.”

“For more than three years we have demanded the Air Force provide adequate justification for moving our C-130Js,” Palazzo said. “With today’s confirmation that Keesler’s planes will stay where they belong, we can finally put this issue to bed.”

Bryant said he joined with leaders of other Gulf Coast states in pushing to keep the transport planes based where they can help with hurricane response.

“This is outstanding news for Keesler, the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the entire state of Mississippi,” Bryant said.

need another organization necessarily to start a tutoring program or a mentoring program, but we do need volunteers.”

Christensen praised the group’s commitment to making the best of available resources.

“More resources will come as economic development comes, and imagine what you’ll be able to do then,” he said.

The MDA chief also spoke about the state’s marketing efforts and in-

dustrial recruitment.

Of the latter, he said the recent Avectus project in Corinth has been a highlight.

“That is a project that will pay dividends for this community for decades to come, I have no doubt,” said Christensen. “For us to have played a small role in that is incredibly fulfilling to me.”

The commission is a special project of CorinthAlcorn Reaching for Excellence.

able in their new school setting and encourage excitement within their family for the educational experience they will receive at our school,” she added. “ We want our students to look forward to coming to kindergarten and for their families to understand how deeply we care for and look forward to having their chil-

dren in our classrooms.”

Items necessary for registration are: ■ Birth Certificate ■ Social Security Card ■ MS Immunization Form 121 ■ Two proofs of residency (Accepted documents are: A lease agreement, water/sewer bill, electric bill, mortgage document/ property deed, cable/satellite bill, or homestead exemption/land taxes.)

The registering student must also be present.

“We are very excited and hopeful to have a wonderful community turn-out for this event,” said Wamsley. “Those who are unable to attend can register their kindergartner in the ACES office during regular school hours from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday until the end of the school year.”

Employers “aren’t coming if we can’t provide them a good, stable, prepared workforce,” said Ronnie Sleeper, task force chairman.

Speaking about dropout prevention, Terry Cartwright said in many cases the community simply needs more people to get involved.

Today in History

Across the Region

Today is Thursday, April 16, the 106th day of 2015. There are 259 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On April 16, 1945, during World War II, a Soviet submarine in the Baltic Sea torpedoed and sank the MV Goya, which Germany was using to transport civilian refugees and wounded soldiers; it’s estimated that up to 7,000 people died. U.S. troops reached Nuremberg. U.S. forces invaded the Japanese island of Ie Shima (ee-eh sheemah). In his first speech to Congress, President Harry S. Truman pledged to carry out the war and peace policies of his late predecessor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

On this date: In 1789, Presidentelect George Washington left Mount Vernon, Virginia, for his inauguration in New York.

In 1879, Bernadette Soubirous, who’d described seeing visions of the Virgin Mary at Lourdes, died in Nevers, France.

In 1912, American aviator Harriet Quimby became the first woman to fly across the English Channel, leaving Dover, England, and arriving near Calais, France, in 59 minutes.

In 1947, the French ship Grandcamp blew up at the harbor in Texas City, Texas; another ship, the High Flyer, exploded the following day (the blasts and fires killed nearly 600 people).

In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote his “Letter from Birmingham Jail” in which he said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

In 1972, Apollo 16 blasted off on a voyage to the moon with astronauts John W. Young, Charles M. Duke Jr. and Ken Mattingly on board.

In 2007, in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history, student Seung-Hui Cho (sung-wee joh) killed 32 people on the campus of Virginia Tech before taking his own life.

BOONEVILLE — Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Campus Country has been steadily climbing over the year and the group will finally reach its destination today.

In its final Showtime of the year entitled “Stairway to Heaven,” Campus Country will ascend throughout the genres of music and end with the event’s title piece.

Curtain rises on the final Showtime at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6 p.m. Admission is free to Northeast faculty, staff and students with a current college identification card and is only $5 for the general public.

However, before the final climb, members of the group will take a break at base camp and perform an acoustic pre-show starting at 6:20 p.m. to warm up for the final show.

“Last year, Karly (Clayton) had the idea of doing an acoustic “pre-show” before the final Showtime of the year to give the departing group members one extra chance to showcase their talents,” said Northeast Campus Country director Chris Dunn. “I really liked the concept and the audience responded very positively. So, we’ll be continuing that tradition. The group members work these songs up inde-

most country songs. ‘Stairway to Heaven’ is simply the next song in this tradition.

“It features challenging instrumental work and great vocals. I believe this is the song that our audience will remember this year’s group by; and hopefully, leave them wondering which ambitious song we’ll do next.”

However, Dunn does promise that the version’s performance of “Stairway to Heaven” will not last as long as the record 17 minutes with a seven-and-a-half minute guitar solo as Led Zeppelin is famous for doing to the song that was voted as No. 3 on the 100 Greatest Rock Songs in 2000 by VH1 and was named the thirty-first best song out of Rolling Stone’s “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.”

While “Stairway to Heaven,” is the show’s title piece and the season ending song, Dunn wants to assure fans that the ensemble has not lost its country roots along the way and has over half the set list either classic or modern country hits.

Campus Country’s country hit list includes “Something Bad,”

by Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood, “Broken Wing,” by Martina McBride and raises the tempo with “Cheater, Cheater,”

by Joey and Rory, which be-

pendently outside of our regular rehearsal time. This is a chance to see just how talented these students are even without my direction.”

Campus Country’s acoustic pre-show will allow members to display their musical talents before the final Showtime and give them one more time to perform on the stage in Seth Pounds Auditorium.

Nevertheless, the show’s title piece is what Dunn is talking about and has hinted at a production surprise or two during the performance of the final song of the performance. Nonetheless, “Stairway to Heaven,” also sees the group continue its tradition of iconic songs throughout the ages.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to have singers and musicians talented enough to pull off some truly iconic songs by some legendary bands. In the past few years we’ve played ‘Hotel California’ by the Eagles, ‘Freebird’

by Lynryd Skynyrd, ‘Something’

by The Beatles, ‘Carry on Wayward Son’ by Kansas, ‘House of the Rising Sun’ by The Animals, and ‘Somebody to Love’ by Queen,” Dunn said. “Although these songs aren’t from the country genre, they’ve showcased the group in a way not possible with

came a smash hit once the duet performed the song on Country Music Television’s (CMT) “Can You Duet!”

McBride’s version of “Broken Wing,” will be performed by the only third-year member of the group – Paige Johnston of Kossuth, who has been with the program as long as Dunn has and is known to have a large vocal range.

In addition to “Cheater, Cheater,” Campus Country keeps with the country tone with Aaron Tippin’s hit, “Kiss This,” which helped propel the artist to Nashville fame and made Tippin into an entertain that just celebrated twenty-five years in the country music industry in 2015.

Shania Twain and Billy Currington’s “Party for Two,” Rascal Flatts’ “I Won’t Let Go,” along with “Keep on Lovin’ You,” by Steel Magnolias, “Paint Me a Birmingham,” by Tracy Lawrence and “I Believe It,” by Jo Dee Messina all help the group climb up the steps to the end of the Showtime.

Working off the success of Hailey Carmack’s version of The Crabb Family’s “I’m Going Home with Jesus,” which closed out the February Showtime, Dunn has added five contemporary Christian songs to the final Showtime set list.

Application deadline for Frazier scholarship nears

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

The local Kiwanis Club hopes to serve the children of Alcorn County.

The club is again seeking applications from high school seniors for their annual Leon Frazier Memorial Scholarship.

“We hope to reward 10 scholarships to Corinth and Alcorn County high school graduates of $1,000 each this year,” said Scholarship Chairperson Judy Glenn. “Home school and private school students first admit-

ted to a college or university in 2015 may also apply.”

-- even those students who have already received other scholarships including the tuition guarantee program from Northeast Mississippi Community College,” added Glenn.

The money awarded from the scholarship can be used toward tuition, books, supplies and anything else needed for a college education.

“This scholarship program is made possible thanks to the sponsors and event-goers of our annual Leon Frazier Memorial Gospel Singing,” said Glenn.

Clintons’ brothers unlike any others

BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

“Brothers will be brothers” seems to be the message of Todd Purdum’s article about the Clinton siblings. Comparing Hugh and Tony Rodham and Roger Clinton to the likes of Donald Nixon, Sam Johnson and Billy Carter misses the point. The brothers may be similar, but the way the president or candidate treated them is quite different — and that’s the problem.

Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter and Lyndon Johnson treated their brothers as embarrassments, concerned that their rogue, off-theshelf conduct would reflect poorly on their administrations.

But Bill and Hillary Clinton have gone out of their way to empower their siblings, granting pardons to their clients, introducing them to money-making opportunities and even counseling them to strike while they can still exploit their relationship with the president.

In describing the “latest imbroglio involving Hillary Clinton’s brother Tony Rodham,” Purdum notes Tony’s efforts to get a visa approved for a foreign investor in Clinton friend and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s company while his sister was secretary of state.

But he fails to mention that it was Bill Clinton himself who got the Chinese investor together with Rodham and McAuliffe at the Clinton Global Initiative in Hong Kong in 2008, just days after Hillary’s nomination as secretary.

Purdum speaks of Bill’s embarrassment at his brother Roger’s drug arrest while he was governor, but has no comment on the finding of the House Committee and Government Operations in its 2002 report that Bill actually quotes Roger Clinton as saying that the president “advised him to use his connections to gain financial advantage.” Roger was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to seek pardons for 13 clients.

Nor does the article by Purdue tell the full story about the cash-for-visa scandal involving Tony Rodham. At least one of the visa applications was for a vice president of Huawei Technologies, a Chinese telecom company that has been accused of spying on American industries, pirating American technologies and providing crucial equipment to our enemies.

Huawei has been trying for years to do business in the U.S., but we won’t let it in because of its history of cyber spying and reported closeness to the Chinese military. But Tony was all too happy to help Huawei.

Except for stints as a prison guard, bouncer and private investigator, Tony’s career has been completely based on his family connections. But Tony’s been a busy man lately.

He also picked up a seat on the Board of a company that received the permit to mine for gold in Haiti, again exploiting and making money, this time off Bill’s role as the savior of Haiti after the devastating earthquake there.

How did Tony get the gold-mining gig? At a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative, where he met the chief executive of the Delaware-based VCS Mining Company.

The embarrassment caused to previous presidents hit them with little warning. But Bill and Hillary have had more than ample evidence of their shenanigans. And, by opening doors, making introductions, granting pardons and the like, the former first couple are enablers, not bystanders.

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

Prayer for today Almighty God, may I ever know the generous glow that comes with an overwhelming desire to cultivate the soul. With hope may I find the way through the darkness that leads to immortality, even if I may have to experience the weariness that may accompany it.

Amen.

A verse to share “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.” — Revelation 1:5

Hillary is new and improved Most of us get only one chance to make a first impression. But Hillary Clinton gets as many chances as she wants.

She has invented herself almost as many times as Thomas Edison tried to invent the light bulb.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. America is a land of reinvention. Our forefathers and foremothers came here to build fresh, new lives, unfettered by the past.

So as Hillary, as her campaign refers to her, officially runs for president (again), she is allowed to adopt a new persona (again).

Now, as “Saturday Night Live” deftly satirized over the weekend, she needs to be “personal,” “intimate,” “natural” and “hilarious.”

And Hillary was all of these things Sunday. Not in real life, of course, but in a video – a video put together in advance and tweaked, massaged and edited for days and days.

That Hillary’s presidential announcement video could be mistaken for a drug commercial was no accident. Well, not so fast there. Ads are not real life.

They are how we wish real life to be.

During the ad, Hillary is shown listening and nodding as ordinary voters talk to her. Which is the point.

This time around, the campaign is not about Hillary. It is about us! The American

voter!

Hillary is merely our champion, and she desperately needs to hear Roger our ideas, Simon thoughts, positions and Columnist viewpoints so she can provide what we need.

That is why she is going on a “listening tour” of key caucus and primary states.

What does Hillary not already know, however?

Hillary is ferociously wellbriefed for every event. But how do you brief somebody to listen? And “humble” can be hard to practice when you have spent your adult life being “experienced.”

If she was so ready to answer “the 3 a.m. phone call” and save the world eight years ago, what is she unprepared for now?

No matter. Running for president is a performance, and this time, Hillary is going to master the performance. People will talk to her, and she will nod and tell a scripted joke, and that will get on local TV. And only then will she be ready to deliver the “big” speech, which is why she started her campaign on video and not in front of a real crowd of real people.

Her campaign has worked enormously hard to lower expectations about Hillary’s

ability to perform in person.

She must learn and prepare, her handlers say.

Oh, puh-leeze. Gimme a break. Hillary Clinton has been making darn good “big” speeches for years.

Remember her concession speech on June 7, 2008?

“Although we weren’t able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you it’s got about 18 million cracks in it!” she told a roaring crowd at the National Building Museum in Washington.

“And the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next time.”

Well, this is next time, and you know what? The path is a lot easier. Not just because Hillary has kept in shape by knocking down quarter-million-dollar speeches for the past two years.

No, this time the path is easier because for another Democrat to beat her in Iowa would take a miracle.

Martin O’Malley or Jim Webb could catch fire there on a personal level. Iowans often admire scrappy candidates. But what they lack is what Barack Obama had in 2008: millions and millions of dollars and an experienced campaign team that knows how to build the ground game that is essential to winning in Iowa’s arcane caucus process.

On Jan. 26, 2007, Hillary began her previous listening tour in Iowa.

At a town hall meeting in a high-school gym in Des Moines, a man, who identified himself as a Gulf War veteran, asked her whether the surge of new troops to Iraq was “going to be enough.”

Instead of answering, Hillary replied with “thanks so much for your service” and then talked about how she visits military hospitals and believes that America needs to provide good medical care for its veterans.

That was not what he asked.

In the one-hour meeting, Hillary did not mention Iraq a single time. She mentioned ethanol twice.

But today the Iraq War is ancient history (she hopes), and all she has to do is appear to be humble and hilarious, knowledgeable yet not all-knowing.

Last time, before she went to that town hall meeting, she went to Democratic state headquarters to meet with party activists. When asked about the war there, she said, “There are no doovers in life.”

Oh, but there are. There have to be. Hillary Clinton’s future depends on it.

It’s a good time to live in Mississippi

BY WYATT EMMERICH The Northside-Sun

April is under way and it’s a good time to live in Mississippi. The temperature is perfect and it’s inspiring to see nature’s annual renewal.

My week started with a call from David Jordan, longtime state senator from Greenwood. He was planning to honor veteran journalist Bill Minor at the Capitol and wanted me to be there because of the long association of the Emmerichs and Bill Minor.

Bill has known three generations of Emmerichs, starting with my grandfather Oliver. Indeed, my grandfather, father and Bill went through some tumultuous times during the civil rights strife. He has always been kind and gracious to me and my family. I was honored to stand by the podium in the state Senate chambers as Bill Minor was presented an honorary plaque from the Senate.

Although Bill has always been more to the left than any of the Emmerichs, we always respected his journalism. He calls it as he sees it and pulls no punches.

That’s the way it should be.

Through it all, all three generations of Emmerichs have sided completely with Bill’s attitude about race: That no Mississippian

should ever be denied anything based on the color of their skin.

Last year, I was honored to win the Bill Minor award for investigative journalism. It came with a $1,000 check. Yes! Bill’s remarks were funny and insightful. His mind is sharp as ever, even if his mobility is limited by a wheelchair.

Bill noted that when he first covered the Legislature 50 years ago, there were still brass spittoons.

It was nice to be with David Jordan. He gave me a signed copy of his book, From the Mississippi Cotton Fields to the State Senate, a Memoir. Sen. Jordan has been the key African American activist in Greenwood for many years.

When my father bought the Greenwood Commonwealth, he began covering Jordan’s Voter League meetings regularly, much to the ire of more conservative Greenwood readers.

Jordan was always eager to take up the cause if he believed racism was afoot.

This led to various boycotts and threats of boycotts.

Critics accused Jordan of overplaying the race card.

I enjoyed reading David’s book. He comes across exactly as the David L. Jordan I have always known over these years. Although my

father, and later Greenwood editor and publisher Tim Kalich, have taken Jordan to task editorially countless times, I admire him as a man who has been committed to doing what he believed was right. He has championed the cause of African Americans in Greenwood and Mississippi. Our society is better for it.

There are many out there who have cussed Minor and Jordan over the years for their partisan attacks. But one man’s partisan attack is another man’s courageous confrontation. God made us all different for a reason.

Times change and old soldiers ride toward the sunset. Bill Minor and David Jordan fought courageously for what they believed was right. Whatever ideological disagreements I may have had with them over the years does not negate this reality. There probably won’t be anyone to replace either one of them and there may be no need, because of what they did.

As for me, I feel blessed to have known such convicted characters. I was honored to spend a morning with them and stand by their sides during the ceremony.

What is it about human nature that makes us so opinionated? Why do we so often couch our comments in negativity? How can we

World Wide Web: www.dailycorinthian.com To Sound Off: E-mail: email: news@dailycorinthian.com Circulation 287-6111 Classified Adv. 287-6147

have such diametrically different opinions?

Perhaps I am used to partisan battles because of the decades I spent debating my mother, who was a cardcarrying bleeding-heart liberal. How many nights did we go at it? Hundreds, a thousand? I learned from her that you can disagree vehemently and still love one another intensely.

What I would give for just one more of those nightlong political debates.

I have pretty intense political beliefs. I believe the Founding Fathers of this country got it right: individual rights, limited government, liberty and freedom over centralization, bureaucracy and forced equality. The great success of America, to me, is validation of the correctness of their ideas.

But ... our Founding Fathers never dealt with the abomination of slavery. Nobody has exclusive claim to all the answers.

It is a yin and yang, a balance, an ebb and flow. As we debate how our society should be, we should try to not lose sight of the importance of basic civility and kindness, all the while also appreciating that intensity of conviction has its place as well. Above all, we should thank God every day we have the freedom to debate.

State/Nation

Across the Nation Associated Press

Congress OKs bill reshaping doc fees WASHINGTON — Conservatives hated that it’s expected to swell federal deficits over the coming decade. Liberals complained that it shortchanged health programs for children and women.

But after years of complaints and failed efforts, huge majorities of both parties in Congress finally banded together and there was no stopping the “doc fix.”

The Senate gave final approval late Tuesday to the $214 billion bipartisan measure, which permanently recasts how Medicare reimburses doctors for treating over 50 million elderly people. It also provides extra money for health care programs for children and low-income people, which Democrats coveted, and imposed higher costs on some higher-income Medicare beneficiaries, which Republicans touted as a victory.

Most immediately, the bill prevented a 21 percent cut in those physicians’ Medicare fees that would have hit home Wednesday when a federal agency planned to start making payments reflecting that reduction. That would have ensured a flood of complaints from doctors and senior citizens that lawmakers dearly wanted to avoid.

Cuba to be cut from terror sponsor list WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, the White House announced Tuesday, a key step in his bid to normalize relations between the two countries.

The terror designation has been a stain on Cuba’s pride and a major stumbling block for efforts to mend ties between Washington and Havana.

In a message to Congress, Obama said the government of Cuba “has not provided any support for international terrorism” over the last six months. He also told lawmakers that Cuba “has provided assurances that it will not support acts of international terrorism in the future.”

Shooting suspect hitchhiked south GOLDSBORO, N.C. — The man accused of killing a community college worker said the motorcycle he used to get away broke down along Interstate 95 and he walked 30 miles before a woman headed to Florida gave him a ride, according to a police report released Wednesday.

The woman picked up the 20-year-old Stancil, whose face and neck are covered in dark, self-administered tattoos. She didn’t know he was armed with a knife and had almost $500, the report by Volusia County Beach Safety officers said.

The driver was headed to Key West, Florida, but dropped Stancil off in Daytona Beach, where he was found sleeping on the beach Tuesday morning. When officers approached him, he pulled the knife but dropped it when an officer drew his gun. He was arrested without incident, the police report said.

Stancil is awaiting extradition back to North Carolina, where he is accused of fatally shooting 44-year-old Ron Lane, a print shop director at Wayne Community College.

Obama advocates middle class plans CHARLOTTE, N.C. — President Barack Obama is drawing contrasts between his tax policies and those of the Republican leaders in Congress.

Obama says he has proposed cutting taxes for working families while Republicans want to cut them for the wealthiest families.

Obama is using Wednesday’s federal income tax filing deadline to draw attention to his proposals to help families pay for child care, college tuition and retirement.

Congress hasn’t embraced any of the president’s ideas. At the same time, the House is expected this week to pass a bill repealing the estate tax.

Obama says eliminating the estate tax would help just a few thousand wealthy households at a cost of $270 billion to the government.

He says for the same amount of money 44 million families would benefit under his proposals.

Rights, kids’ health clash in vaccine bill SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California lawmakers are hearing renewed discussions on a bill that would prevent parents from seeking vaccination exemptions for their children because of religious or personal beliefs.

The Senate Education Committee on Wednesday became the second legislative body to consider the measure that has sparked a debate pitting personal rights against public health.

Supporters say the bill would increase the number of schoolchildren who are vaccinated in the wake of a measles outbreak that started at Disneyland in December.

Carl Krawitt, of Corte Madre near San Francisco, told lawmakers he feared for his 6-yearold son’s life during the outbreak because the boy, Rhett, couldn’t be vaccinated while he was treated for leukemia.

Imperiled insect’s plight draws suit BILLINGS, Mont. — Wildlife advocates want a judge to force federal officials to decide if a rare aquatic insect that’s found only in Montana’s Glacier National Park should be protected under the Endangered Species Act. The Center for Biological Diversity says in a lawsuit filed Wednesday that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service failed to follow through on a 2011 finding that protections might be needed for the western glacier stonefly.

The stoneflies were first identified in 1963.

They live in streams fed by cold water from glaciers in northwest Montana.

Those glaciers are predicted to disappear by 2030, in part because of climate change. Researchers say the stoneflies also could disappear.

Yet it’s uncertain what can be done to preserve them. If they were transferred to different streams, researchers say they might not survive.

Bryant: No plans for special session JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant says he has no plans to call a special legislative session anytime soon.

Bryant says Wednesday that good news or bad news could prompt him bring lawmakers back to the Capitol.

The good news would be an economic development project requiring state financial incentives. The bad news would be response to a natural disaster.

Legislators ended their three-month regular session two weeks ago.

Bryant says he’s disappointed they didn’t put $50 million into a workforce training program or renew tax credits for restoration of historic buildings. If there’s a special session, he says he could ask them to do those things.

Dispute over juvenile detention resolved GREENWOOD — The Leflore County Board of Supervisors has approved a consent decree that will place the local juvenile detention center under Department of Justice oversight but allow the county to avoid litigation.

The Greenwood Commonwealth reports the settlement will resolve federal allegations, raised after a 2009 visit, that conditions at the facility violated the constitutional rights of youth detained there.

Leflore County operates the facility. The settlement covers policies, procedures and training at the facility. A lawsuit has not been filed.

The DOJ identified problems ranging from guards regularly shackling juveniles to metal beds, arbitrary use of punishment, a lack of mental health services for suicidal youths and inadequate educational offerings at the facility, especially for juveniles with learning disabilities.

Missing man found in Mississippi Sound BILOXI — Harrison County authorities say a body recovered from the Mississippi Sound is that of a missing Louisiana man.

Coroner Gary Hargrove tells WLOX TV the body of 26-year-old Ronald Whitaker, of Terrytown, Louisiana, was pulled from the water by Biloxi rescue teams Tuesday afternoon.

Hargrove says it’s very likely Whitaker ended up in the water behind the Hard Rock Casino garage Sunday morning.

Counties to adopt new 911-call system NATCHEZ — Natchez and Adams County are switching to a new emergency 911-call system that officials say will provide greater flexibility and better response time for emergency responders.

The Natchez Democrat reports the switch to the new $230,000 system will happen Tuesday.

The new system has shared software between the jurisdictions that allows dispatchers to select a button that will transfer to the correct office and continue recording calls. Calls from landlines are automatically directed to the correct jurisdiction.

Deputies: Man found asleep in stolen car SAUCIER — Harrison County sheriff’s deputies have arrested a Stone County man after finding him asleep in a stolen car parked at a Saucier business.

The Sun Herald reports 25-year-old Russell Howard Jennings, of Perkinston, was arrested early Tuesday morning after deputies noticed a 2011 Honda Accord at Saucier Cycle Supply and it matched a car reported stolen from Copiah County.

Sheriff Melvin Brisolara says Jennings was listed as a fugitive on a charge of auto theft in Copiah County.

Conviction upheld in sex attack on girl JACKSON — A federal appeals court has upheld the conviction and sentence of man for the sexual assault of a 4-year-old girl in Mississippi.

A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans denied arguments Tuesday from Marco Laquin Rogers that his sentence was too harsh and the evidence didn’t prove his guilt.

Rogers, now 29, was sentenced to 40 years in prison in 2013. A federal jury in Jackson convicted him on charges of trafficking of a minor child and production of child pornography.

Authorities say Rogers and another man attacked the girl at a Jackson hotel room in May 2012 after Rogers, who was acquainted with the child’s uncle, brought her to Mississippi from Memphis, Tennessee, under the guise of taking her to a party.

Small aircraft lands on Capitol lawn Prosecutor OK

BY ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Police arrested a man who steered his tiny, oneperson helicopter onto the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, surprising spring tourists and prompting a temporary lockdown of the Capitol Visitor Center.

Capitol Police didn’t immediately identify the pilot or comment on his motive, but a Florida postal carrier named Doug Hughes took responsibility for the stunt on a website where he said he was delivering letters to all 535 members of Congress in order to draw attention to cam-

paign finance corruption. “As I have informed the authorities, I have no violent inclinations or intent,� Hughes wrote on his website, thedemocracyclub.org. “An ultralight aircraft poses no major physical threat — it may present a political threat to graft. I hope so. There’s no need to worry — I’m just delivering the mail.�

Capitol Police identified the aircraft, which sported the U.S. Postal Service logo and landed about half a city block from the Capitol building, as a “gyro copter with a single occupant.�

House Homeland Security panel Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Tex-

as, said the pilot landed on his own, but that had he made it much closer to the Capitol authorities were prepared to shoot him down. “Had it gotten any closer to the speaker’s balcony they have long guns to take it down, but it didn’t. It landed right in front,�

McCaul said.

The White House said President Barack Obama had been briefed on the situation.

Witnesses said the craft approached the Capitol from the west, flying low over the National Mall and the Capitol reflecting pool across the street from the building. It barely cleared a row of trees and a statue of Gen. Ulysses Grant.

John Jewell, 72, a tourist from Statesville, North Carolina, said the craft landed hard and bounced. An officer was

already there with a gun drawn. “He didn’t get out until police officers told him to get out. He had his hands up’� and was quickly led away by the police, Jewell said. “They snatched him pretty fast.�

Elizabeth Bevins, a tourist from Atlanta, said she was standing across the street from the Capitol when the little helicopter flew in around 20 or 30 feet high, and it “just sort of plopped down on the lawn.�

Police with rifles yelled at the pilot not to move and told bystanders to run with their heads down, said Nora Neus, 21, a junior at the University of Virginia who was in town for a job interview. “I thought it was a joke at first. My next thought was this is something really bad,� she said.

Spring Sandal Sale Savings up to

in Bobo slaying

BY ADRIAN SAINZ Associated Press

DECATURVILLE, Tenn. — The complicated case of three men charged in the disappearance of a Tennessee nursing student four years ago will move forward after a judge signed off on the appointment of a special prosecutor.

Circuit Court Judge C. Creed McGinley ruled Wednesday there were no irregularities in the appointment of Jennifer Nichols to handle the criminal case related to the disappearance and slaying of Holly Bobo in Decatur County. It was the first hearing since December in the case, which stalled as the appointment was challenged by lawyers representing Zachary Adams and his brother John Dylan Adams.

McGinley’s ruling allows for more hearings to be scheduled in the case, which has seen a highly-publicized dispute between prosecutors and investigators and the suicide of a man once considered a key witness.

Meanwhile, defense attorneys have complained that prosecutors and investigators have failed to provide evidence their clients were involved in Bobo’s disappearance and death. They have filed motions to have the charges dismissed.

Bobo was 20 when she disappeared from her home in April 2011. Her brother told police he saw

a man dressed in camouflage leading her into the woods near her home in Parsons, about 110 miles east of Memphis. Bobo’s disappearance and the subsequent lengthy search attracted national attention as authorities distributed posters with her photograph throughout the South. Signs calling for “Justice for Holly� are still posted along streets in Decatur County.

Last September, authorities said two men searching for ginseng found Bobo’s skull in a wooded area not far away from her house.

Zachary Adams has been charged with murder and kidnapping. His brother has been charged with raping Bobo. A third man, Jason Autry, also has been charged with murder and kidnapping.

All three men have pleaded not guilty. No trial date has been set.

Nichols replaces Decatur County District Attorney Matt Stowe, who recused his office from prosecuting the case after a dispute with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation about how the agency was handling the investigation. TBI Director Mark Gwyn — who has said the Bobo investigation has been the most exhaustive and expensive in agency history — had announced he was suspending all work on the case after Stowe accused TBI agents of misconduct.

The dispute was resolved after Stowe stepped down.

The celebration of a lifetime begins here.

Columbine survivor among theater shooting jurors

BY SADIE GURMAN ANDÂ DONNA BRYSON Associated Press

CENTENNIAL, Colo. — A union plumber, a schoolteacher and a survivor of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre were among the 19 women and five men chosen as jurors in the death penalty trial of Colorado theater shooter James Holmes.

The 12 jurors and 12 alternates were picked Tuesday after a selection process that began Jan. 20 and was among the largest and most complicated in U.S. history, experts said.

Holmes is charged with killing 12 people and wounding 70 others in the July 2012 attack in suburban Denver. His attorneys don’t dispute that he pulled the trigger but say he was in the grips of a psychotic episode when he slipped into the packed movie the-

ater and opened fire.

Jurors will decide whether he was legally insane at the time. If they find him guilty, they must also decide whether he should be put to death or sentenced to life in prison without parole.

The jurors All 24 will sit through the entire trial. Neither the group nor the public will know who is a primary juror and who is an alternate until the case is handed over for deliberations.

The jury also includes a Denver Public Schools employee, a person with depression and a businesswoman who cares for her elderly parents.

Line of questioning Attorneys on Tuesday questioned the 93 remaining jurors about

their interpretations of the law, how they would gauge witnesses’ and experts’ credibility, and whether they could handle serving on such a high-profile trial.

District Attorney George Brauchler characterized it as a “four- to five-month roller coaster through the worst haunted house you can imagine.�

He asked prospective jurors if they could serve even if they hear no evidence of a motive because prosecutors are required to prove only the 165 charges against Holmes — not why they believe he committed the crimes.

Holmes’ attorney, Tamara Brady, focused on perceptions of Holmes and whether the candidates could be objective given the litany of charges against him and the public scrutiny they will face.

She asked how they felt

listening for nearly two hours as Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. read the charges, including each victim’s name. She wondered if prospective jurors would be too sympathetic to survivors.

She said she was nervous “about whether Mr. Holmes can get a fair trial in this case or whether it’s just too big.�

Juror concerns Potential jurors told attorneys they worry about what their neighbors might think if they reach an unpopular verdict and whether reporters would harass their families.

One man said he was reassured when the judge told him steps were taken to shield his identity. And many pledged they would not let their decisionmaking be influenced by concern about what others think.

Other candidates expressed trepidation about hearing graphic testimony and perhaps being overwhelmed by emotion.

views on the death penalty and mental illness.

Court officials initially summoned an unprecedented 9,000 people.

What’s taken so long?

What about other large trials?

Some prospective jurors have asked the judge why it has taken nearly three years for the case to come to trial.

Samour has said it’s not an unusual amount of time for a trial this complex. The death penalty and insanity plea introduced complicated and time-consuming legal requirements.

After nearly three months, and almost three years since the mass shooting, the jurors were chosen from among hundreds who filled out written questionnaires, then returned for one-on-one sessions, where they were questioned about their

In the amount of time it has taken so far in Colorado, federal jurors in Boston have convicted marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Tsarnaev’s admission that he participated in the April 2013 bombings and that his brother, Tamerlan, was the mastermind accelerated the case.

The Texas trial for the killer of a former Navy SEAL depicted in the movie “American Sniper� was complicated by publicity about the film.

But jury selection moved quickly because it didn’t involve concerns about the large number of people affected by the crime.

Police use of stun guns eyed in officer-involved killings

BY JEFFREY COLLINS ANDÂ JOHNNY C. CLARK Associated Press

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — Before a bystander’s video led to his murder charge and firing, North Charleston Police Officer Michael Slager said he killed a fleeing suspect in a traffic stop after a struggle over his Taser.

Along with other worrisome aspects of the shooting of Walter Scott, Slager’s attempt to subdue him with a stun gun points to a policing paradox that has civil rights advocates alarmed.

Promoted as tools to avoid lethal force, stun guns can sometimes become part of a deadly equation. The Associated

Press found at least seven other fatal shootings of black men by police in confrontations involving stun guns in recent years.

These immobilizing weapons are useful, but can give officers “a really false reassurance that you have more control over a situation than you do,� said Eugene O’Donnell, a former New York City police officer who now teaches at the city’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

Slager was charged with murder and fired from the North Charleston Police Department after a bystander’s iPhone video captured him shooting a fleeing Walter Scott in the back after failing to subdue him with a Taser.

“Officers need to be spending more time deescalating situations, instead of resorting to the use of this very convenient tool,� said Emma Andersson, a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union.

Stun guns have become an extremely common policing tool, deployed in more than 15,000 U.S. law enforcement and military agencies, according to a 2011 National Institute of Justice report.

TASER International Inc. says it has sold more than 800,000 of its devices to law enforcement agencies, which have used them more than 2.3 million times in the past 20 years.

The overall record

shows Tasers are “safe, effective and accountable,� said Steve Tuttle, a spokesman for the Scottsdale, Arizona-based company. “But it’s not a magic bullet. ... There is no magic bullet.�

Stun guns can save lives by enabling officers to subdue people without serious injuries, although the ACLU and Amnesty International say hundreds have died from the shocks alone. The device’s makers counter that Tasers are safe against otherwise healthy targets if not used repeatedly.

Still, the potential for deadly consequences has prompted many law enforcement agencies to strictly limit how officers use them. Stun

guns “should be used as a weapon of need, not a tool of convenience,� say guidelines developed in 2011 by the U.S. Justice Department.

The National Institute of Justice report found that field experience with stun guns indicates that short-term exposure is safe in the vast majority of cases.

But NIJ-funded research in 2012 from Michigan State University, looking at more than 10,000 use-of-force cases in a half-dozen cities, came to a more nuanced conclusion: Stun guns make citizen injuries more frequent, even as they halve the rate of injuries to officers, from 10 percent to 5 percent.

Citizens are injured 41 percent of the time when stun guns are used to subdue them, compared to 29 percent when they weren’t, the report said.

Some police agencies have adopted polices in line with the ACLU’s key recommendation: that Tasers should only be used to counter an immediate threat to life or safety, as an alternative to deadly force.

The Taser policy North Charleston issued in 2009 sets a much lower standard: Officers may use a stun gun “to take a subject into custody� or overcome “passive physical resistance� from a person who “does not make any attempt to physically defeat the officer.�

Cats chat with us through meows, blinks, roving whiskers

BY SUE MANNING Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — When it comes to cats, those meows mean ... well, a lot of things.

With each purr, yowl or even blink, felines are saying, “Hello,� ‘‘Let’s snuggle� or “Beat it, Mom.� For the increasing number of pet owners who want to connect with their often-aloof fur babies, experts say there’s something to gain from those attempts at communication.

Cats are very independent, and so they are

easily misunderstood, says Dr. Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA and author of the new National Geographic book “How to Speak Cat.� He aims to unravel the mystery by helping people discern what cats are trying to convey.

Crafty kitties can make 16 different meow sounds and usually only unleash them when people are around, he said. Meows can be their way of saying feed me, pet me or let me out, and hardly ever get

exchanged between cats.

That’s because cats learn they can get something desirable from people if they meow, said Dr. Bonnie Beaver, executive director of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists and a professor at Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. She also wrote the 2003 textbook “Feline Behavior.�

The meaning of a scratch or a hiss is pretty clear, but cats can talk in more subtle ways — with their eyes and tails. A slow blink from a feline, for example, is like

a wink between friends, Weitzman said. “Blinking is like a kitty kiss,� he said.

And extending their tails straight up equates to a human handshake, he said. A cat perks up that appendage as it approaches to show it’s happy to see you.

Susan McMinn, 55, of Tryon, North Carolina, was eager to try the slowblinking exercise with her Siamese cat, Jade, after reading the book. “I sat and blinked slowly at my cat, and she blinked right back. I know she

loves me, of course, but now I feel I understand her communication even more,� McMinn said.

Even ear and whisker movements signify something worth listening to. If a cat’s ears are flat, don’t get close because it’s scared or facing a fight, Weitzman said.

A kitty is happy, calm or friendly when its whiskers are naturally out to the side. Twice as thick as a human hair and rooted three times as deep, the whiskers guide them, help them with prey and show how they are feeling.

Learning to communicate with cats becomes even important for those who adopt a pet based only on the color or breed they want versus a connection with the animal.

At Happy Cats Sanctuary in Medford, New York, a potential owner might ask for a “white cat with fluffy fur,� said Melissa Cox, director of communications and development.

She tells them not to go by looks alone because the true indicator of compatibility is spending time with a cat and getting to know it.

Mattel reports financial results for the first quarter today.

The world’s largest toy maker is expected to announce a smaller quarterly loss than a year earlier but lower revenue. The company has undergone a management shake-up since it reported in January that sales of Barbie and American Girl toys fell during the holidays. Earlier this month, Mattel named Christopher Sinclair as its permanent CEO.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE:

04/16/15

Reader inquires how to work with his family Dear Annie: I have Annie’s up.After 20 years of marhelped my wife’s daughriage, my husband decidter and family financialed he needed to get away ly many times over the Mailbox and start a new life with past 15 years. Eighteen months ago, I loaned them $600, and they promised they would pay me back. (My previous loans were gifts.)

The daughter’s husband has a well-paying job, but he is slow to repay this loan. Three months ago, I received a check for $40, along with more empty promises to pay off the rest. I haven’t seen any additional money. It is just another lie.

I was warned not to loan them money, but emotions got the better of me.

What should I do?

How can I ever trust them again? — Played for a Fool Dear Played: You are being too hard on yourself.

You love your wife and care about her child, so you have helped them financially.

This is not a bad thing.

The problem is that the “kids” are not responsible enough to repay the loan.

Talk to them. Say that you are going to set up a payment schedule, and ask how much they can afford to pay every month.

No matter how little the amount, agree to it and say you expect to see it on the first of every month until the loan is repaid entirely.

If they miss a payment, call and remind them.

Be nice about it, but insistent, no matter how much they try to wriggle out of it. You can even set up an automatic payment plan that would take care of it without any reminders at all.

The trick is to be firm, but kind. No accusations or guilt. If they repay the entire loan without griping, we’d say you can trust them to do so again.

But if they give you a hard time or refuse to cooperate, you’ll have to put your backbone in place and tell them the remaining $560 is a gift, but there will be no more. And mean it.

Dear Annie: Your column gets me started every morning. Here’s a good one in response to the letter from “Daisy” about a marriage tune-

a new wife -- especially since he had already found one. He told me I had been a perfect wife and mother, so he wanted me to have the house, the car and money to live on. After recovering from the shock and getting a good job, life went on for me.

After two years, he came knocking on my door with a toilet under his arm, saying he heard I needed a new one. So I let him do the repair job, and he proceeded to tell me about his unhappy married life and that he was getting a divorce.

He was a good repairman and an excellent mechanic, so I suggested he come back home to be my live-in handyman.

It worked out great for another 20 years, and I saved a lot of money on repairs. Good things always happen if you wait.

— Satisfied Dear Satisfied: We love it! Your husband apparently had a classic midlife crisis. You were wise, not only to be patient, but to move on with your life without bitterness.

Not every ex-husband turns out to be a good handyman.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Watch for the Daily Corinthian Dining Guide coming out on Saturday, April 25.

Girl’s embarrassment is signal it’s time for a shaving lesson D E A R ABBY: My husband and I are having a disagreement about one of our daughters Abigail (we have Our Van Buren three).

8-year-old is very hairy.

Dear Abby It is noticeable, and she doesn’t like wearing shorts, skirts or dresses because of it.

Her classmates tease her about it.

I want to teach her how to shave her legs or show her how to use hair remover. Her father is angry that I want to “do this” to his little girl.

I was a hairy child as well, and I was teased about my hairy legs and my unibrow, which my parents wouldn’t let me shave or pluck. I remember how painful it was, how upset it made me and how different I felt from my classmates because of it. I told myself as a child that when I grew up, I’d never let my daughter go through the same torment.

I still feel that way.

Should we wait a few more years, or should I buy the products I need and teach her what she’ll be doing for the rest of her life? -- HAIRY SITUATION

IN ARIZONA DEAR H.S.: Your husband may mean well, but he may not realize what being the object of ridicule can do to a little girl’s self-esteem. You’re that child’s mother, and you know what to do -- so do it. Sometimes girls have to stick together, and this is one of them.

DEAR ABBY: After 26 years of marriage, I recently left my husband.

We live only a few blocks away from each other, so we run into each other often at the store, the gas station, everywhere.

My problem is more about running into some of the women he cheated on me with.

One of them always ends up at the same shopping center or restaurant I happen to be at.

She thinks I don’t know who she is.

At first I didn’t want to say anything to her, but now it has really gotten to me.

What can I tell her the next time she meets up with me?

I want to keep myself from yelling at her.

Please help me. -- CAN’T FIND THE WORDS IN HOUSTON DEAR CAN’T: You don’t know whether the woman your ex cheated with is stable or some kind of wing nut.

Sometimes it’s safer not to be able to “find the words” rather than pick a fight. My advice is to avoid her as much as possible.

DEAR ABBY: I recently took a long international flight. The man sitting next to me coughed during the eight-hour flight without once covering his mouth.

What is a polite way to tell someone to cover his/her mouth when coughing? Two days into my trip, I developed a fever and a bad cough, so it seems he passed his illness on to me. -- FEVERISH FLIER DEAR FLIER: Your seat partner showed an extreme lack of consideration not only for you, but also for other passengers seated in his immediate vicinity -- and it’s very possible he infected others besides you. It is not impolite to ASK people who cough and sneeze to please cover their mouth so you won’t catch what they have, and that’s what you should have done right away, or ask to change your seat if an unoccupied one was available.

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).

Take on the small challenges that will be easily won. Building up a track record of success will give you the confidence you need to take on the more remarkable and difficult opportunities coming your way in the near future.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Today feels a bit like throwing a party. Seldom does the host enjoy it while it’s going on, and yet somehow the memory is often worth it because a party happened where there wouldn’t have been one before.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The to-do list is important, but not as important as the spiritin-which-things-are-done list. If trying to check too many items off causes you to lose your temper, it’s not worth the effort.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

People are paying attention to you today, and they might even be taking pictures. So enjoy the attention, and don’t do anything you wouldn’t want blasted on social media.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll contribute to the harmony of the world, not by donating tons of money or completing a mission in a foreign land, but by having a stellar attitude. You’ll get along with everyone you meet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Other people’s feelings about what a human deserves in life will influence you. Entitlement is a disease, and it’s contagious.

Be careful who you spend time with. Prize humility and modesty.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Maybe everyone in your group doesn’t fit together. Some of them don’t even get along.

That’s where you come in.

You’re inclusive; you set a tone; you’re the gel that makes this work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

As your project evolves, so will your opinion of it. That’s why it’s good to leave yourself an out.

Don’t talk in terms that are too concrete or make long-term commitments today. Leave yourself wiggle room.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). People around you will struggle to do a job. Knowing when to help and when to let them learn on their own (and have the satisfaction that comes from this process) will be tricky. But if you’re mindful, you’ll nail it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Most bad choices begin with needlessly putting oneself in a dangerous environment or, more specifically, in bad company. As adventurous as you are, there are places you shouldn’t go.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Why is the circuitous path so appealing? Because your curious mind needs to know the bigger picture of how and why things work. For today, let yourself investigate your whims.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Your loved ones sense it: You’re happy when they are happy. If it makes them smile, you’ll buy it.

Just know that you don’t always have to foot the bill. They really want to spend time with you.

Cubs may be ready to call up slugger Bryant The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Could Kris Bryant make his Chicago Cubs’ debut as early as Friday?

The Cubs placed infielder Tommy La Stella on the disabled list Tuesday because of right ribcage inflammation and recalled left-hander Zac Rosscup from Triple-A Iowa.

Chicago manager Joe Maddon said “it’s possible” the Cubs could add an infielder for Friday’s game against San Diego.

Cubs President of Baseball

Operations Theo Epstein didn’t discount the possibility another infielder could join the team by the time the homestand ends Sunday. Asked about Bryant potentially making his debut this weekend, Epstein said he didn’t “want to speculate.”

“It depends on what’s happening with the roster, what’s happening with his development,” Epstein said. “We don’t know yet.”

Friday is day 13 of the season, which means Bryant could at most ac-

cumulate 171 days or of major league service.

Since 172 days counts as a year, keeping Bryant in the minor leagues through Thursday ensures Bryant could not be eligible for free agency until after the 2021 season.

Bryant hit .425 for the Cubs in spring training with nine homers and 15 RBIs in 40 at-bats and entered Tuesday batting .381 at Iowa with two homers and seven RBIs in five game.

Adding Rosscup gives

the Cubs 13 pitchers but leaves them short in the infield with Mike Olt battling a right wrist injury after getting hit by a pitch last weekend.

Maddon wouldn’t say whether the Cubs considered bringing up an infielder Tuesday, saying “today was about a pitcher.” The Chicago bullpen has been taxed to start the season, throwing 212⁄3 innings in six games.

FALL RIVER, Mass. — Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison Wednesday for a deadly late-night shooting, sealing the downfall of an athlete who once had a $40 million contract and a standout career ahead of him.

Hernandez, 25, who had been considered one of the top tight ends in professional football, shook his head, pursed his lips and sat down after the jury forewoman pronounced him guilty in the slaying of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old landscaper and

amateur weekend football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee.

Hernandez’s mother, Terri, and his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, cried and gasped when they heard the verdict.

Hernandez, his eyes red, mouthed to them: “Be strong.

Be strong.” Lloyd’s mother also cried.

Jurors deliberated for 36 hours over seven days before rendering their decision, which also included convictions on weapons charges.

“The jury found that he was just a man who committed a brutal murder,” District Attorney Thomas Quinn said after the verdict. “The fact that

he was a professional athlete meant nothing in the end.”

Lloyd was shot six times early on June 17, 2013, in a deserted industrial park near Hernandez’s home in North Attleborough. The motive has never been explained.

Police almost immediately zeroed in on the former Pro Bowl athlete because they found in Lloyd’s pocket the key to a car the NFL player had rented. Within hours of Hernandez’s arrest, the Patriots cut him from the team.

The team declined to comment on the verdict.

Prosecutors presented a wealth of evidence that Hernandez was with Lloyd at the

time he was killed, including home security video from Hernandez’s mansion, witness testimony and cellphone records that tracked Lloyd’s movements.

Hernandez’s lawyer, James Sultan, acknowledged for the first time during closing arguments that Hernandez was there when Lloyd was killed.

But the attorney pinned the shooting on two of Hernandez’s friends, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, saying his client was a “23-year-old kid” who witnessed a shocking crime and did not know what to do. Wallace and Ortiz will Please see LIFE | 13

Northeast Mississippi Community College sophomore Reid Price will lead the Tiger and Lady Tiger tennis teams into the 2015 Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges (MACJC) State Tournament which begins today in Tupelo.

Price leads NE into State Tournament

BY BLAKE D. LONG NEMCC Sports Information

Reid Price wielded a winning record for the second consecutive campaign. He went 4-3 as a sophomore and compiled an overall regular season mark of 11-8 in his outstanding career with the Tigers.

“It’s been a tougher year because the competition has been a whole lot more stiff,” Price said. “But I’ve been really blessed to do good in singles. I’ve been able to play some people that are better than me and sometimes come out on top.”

Price and his Northeast Mississippi Community College teammates are set to

compete in the 2015 Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) State Tournament.

The event begins this morning at Rob Leake City Park.

Price has three straight victories to his credit as the playoffs commence. He started his current stretch with incredible come-from-behind 1-6, 6-2, (11-9) decision versus Jon Morgan Bell of Northwest on March 16.

The Alcorn Central High School graduate garnered triumphs over the Rangers’ Tyler Newman 6-1, 6-3 and Robert Strong of No. 25 East Central 6-3, 3-6, (10-7) in his most recent outings.

Booneville’s Wesley Tye

is knotted with Price for the most solo wins for Northeast with four. He has conquered two foes from teams in the ITA’s latest rankings, including DeAngelo Vaxter of No. 17 Mississippi Gulf Coast and No. 24 Copiah-Lincoln Community College’s William Pennington.

Noah Wright prevailed over three adversaries during his final campaign at his hometown institution. He could easily have five victories this season, but two of his losses were in the 10-point tiebreak set.

“I’m optimistic about having multiple players advance,” said Northeast head coach Ben Shappley. “We can

be pretty good if all cylinders are clicking.”

On the women’s side, Lindsey Clark is ready to showcase her vast improvement on the courts at the grandest stage for tennis in the Magnolia State.

The Olive Branch native did not participate at all against singles competitors at the prep level. Fast forward two short years and Clark carries the best individual record for the Lady Tigers in one-on-one contests into the postseason.

“It was a huge adjustment just because you can’t hit in the doubles lines,” said Clark.

“But with practice I got used Please see PRICE | 13

Arkansas hoops junior Qualls turning pro The Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Michael Qualls entertained Arkansas fans for three seasons with his variety of powerful dunks.

The high-flying forward announced Wednesday he was taking his rim-rocking ways to the pros, skipping his final season of eligibility following a breakout junior season.

Qualls averaged 15.9 points per game this season for the Razorbacks (27-9), who reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008. He made his announcement one day after Southeastern Conference Player of the Year Bobby Portis said he was leaving Arkansas for the NBA after his sophomore season.

“After sitting down with my

family, I felt the best decision for me is to continue my basketball career as a professional,” Qualls posted on Twitter.

“I’m ready to provide for my family and my son.”

Qualls had 91 dunks during his three seasons with the Razorbacks, none more dramatic than a two-handed putback with 0.2 seconds remaining in overtime to give Arkansas

an 87-85 win over Kentucky last season.

The 6-foot-6 forward averaged 11.6 points per game as a sophomore before emerging as one of Arkansas’ most consistent performers this season. He was a second-team All-SEC selection, averaging 5.3 rebounds per game and Please see QUALLS | 13

A day later, Carrasco doesn’t recall line drive The Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco realizes how fortunate he was to escape serious injury after being struck in the face by a line drive Tuesday.

“It’s part of the game,” he said Wednesday. “I got a scare, but everything came out OK.” Carrasco doesn’t recall being hit by Melky Cabrera’s

line drive in the first inning of a 4-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox. The ball glanced off his glove and right hand before hitting him on the right side of the face. Carrasco fell to the ground in front of the mound with a bruised jaw.

Manager Terry Francona and head athletic trainer James Quinlan rushed to Carrasco, as did several teammates.

“I remember James came to me and started talking,” Carrasco said. “That’s the part I remember. When I got hit I saw everything blurry and I blacked out.”

Carrasco said both sides of his face were sore but he felt fine otherwise.

Francona said Carrasco will have his next start pushed back from Sunday at Minnesota to Monday at the the

White Sox. “It’s already behind me.

I’m getting ready for my next start,” Carrasco said.

Carrasco watched a replay Wednesday morning, but has no plans of seeing it again.

“It’s in the past,” he said with a laugh.

Carrasco was carted off the field. He was taken to a hosPlease see RECALL | 13

to it. I just stayed focused this year and told myself I was going to do a lot better.” Clark is solid at the No. 6 position for Northeast with a 4-3 ledger. She carried a threematch winning streak into the final week of the regular season before it ended at the hands of East Central Community College’s Kristine Jenkins in a tough 7-5, 6-4 loss.

She defeated Northwest Mississippi Community College’s Kendall McCoy in straight sets twice during that span.

Clark also claimed an outstanding 6-3, 7-5 victory over Aygul Brown of Hinds Community College, which appears at No. 18 in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) national poll.

Clark also captured another marquee triumph earlier in the campaign versus No. 21

Itawamba Community College’s Katey Gardner with identical 6-4, 6-4 sets. She is 2-2 against opponents from nationally ranked squads.

A pair of freshmen in Kerston Jumper and Alma Manzano follow Clark with two wins apiece. Jumper fills the top spot in the lineup for the Lady Tigers while Manzano is penciled in at No. 3 slot. Saltillo’s Jumper won her Northeast debut on February 13 against Jordan Baker of Holmes Community College. She used that momentum to down Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College’s Hannah Wegner 7-5, 6-7 (7) less than one week later. Manzano had a great series of meetings with Northwest’s Macey Magee during the annual series between the two rivals. The Belmont product grabbed the first match 6-4, 6-6 (7-3) before falling in the second tilt 4-6, 6-7 (8-6).

scoring a career-high 30 points in an overtime win over Alabama on Jan. 22.

Qualls had 20 points in the Razorbacks win over Wofford to open the NCAA Tournament, and he followed that with 27 points and 10 rebounds in a season-ending loss to North Carolina.

He scored in double figures in all but six games this season and was sixth in the SEC in scoring.

“We certainly wish Mike all the best as her pursues his basketball career after college,” coach Mike Anderson said.

“I know this was a difficult decision for Mike, but one he ultimately thought was best for him. Mike has improved so much since he arrived on campus three years ago, and hopefully that progression continues.”

pital, but X-rays and a CT scan were negative.

Carrasco said he had about 20 messages on his cell phone from concerned family members who watched the game.

“My wife was crying and my kids were crying, but I told them I was OK,” he said.

Francona said it was “miraculous” that Carrasco was feeling so

Qualls averaged only 4.6 points per game in limited minutes as a freshman, but he already showed the explosive athleticism that would make him a fixture on national highlight shows across the country.

The Shreveport, Louisiana, native talked often during his time at Arkansas about the pride he felt being a father to his son, Michael Qualls Jr., and Wednesday’s decision should help Qualls take care of him in the immediate future — whether that’s in the NBA or overseas.

“I can’t say thank you enough to the Razorbacks fans,” Qualls said.

“Coming in as a kid from Louisiana, they embraced me from the start like I was one of their own and have always shown me an amazing amount of support.

That means a lot to me, and I’ll forever be a Razorback.”

well after the scary incident.

Carrasco, who signed a $22 million, four-year contract last week, became the third Cleveland player to get hurt in recent days. Catcher Yan Gomes was placed on the disabled list Sunday with a sprained knee and could miss two months.

Also, All-Star left fielder Michael Brantley has missed four straight games with a bad back.

stand trial later. Prosecutors have suggested Lloyd may have been killed because he knew too much about Hernandez’s alleged involvement in a 2012 drive-by shooting in Boston that killed two. But they were not allowed to tell the jury that because the judge said it was speculation.

As a result, they never offered jurors a motive beyond saying Hernandez appeared angry with Lloyd at a nightclub two nights before the killing.

In the 2012 case, Hernandez is accused of gunning down a pair of men over a spilled drink at a nightclub.

All 12 jurors and three alternates spoke to reporters Wednesday, saying they were shocked by the defense admis-

Phelps confirms he’s aiming for Rio The Associated Press

MESA, Ariz. — Michael Phelps is aiming to compete in a fifth Olympics next year in Rio, although the 18-time Olympic champion won’t swim in the world championships this summer.

Phelps confirmed his intention to make one last run at the Olympics on Wednesday.

“You guys heard it here first,” he told reporters at Skyline Aquatic Center, where he will be competing in his first meet since serving a six-month suspension by USA Swimming after a second drunken driving arrest last fall.”

“I am looking forward to next year. I don’t think it’s too hard to really realize why I came back.”

But Phelps said he won’t be swimming at the world meet in Russia in August as part of the punishment set forth by the sport’s U.S. governing body. He had already qualified in three events before being banned from the last major international meet before the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

“I really enjoy being on those trips,” he said.

“That’s why it is painful to think that I won’t have the chance to compete at worlds.”

There had been infor-

mal discussions about Phelps being reinstated to the U.S. team for worlds, but it would have meant removing swimmers that were named to the team in his absence.

“By no means do I want this to be a distraction from the team,” he said.

“No way would I ever want to displace a member of that team.”

Instead, he plans to compete at U.S. summer nationals in San Antonio, Texas, during the same time as worlds.

Phelps is back in Arizona, where he attended 45 days of inpatient alcohol rehabilitation after being arrested on DUI charges

in his hometown of Baltimore last September. He offered no specifics about his treatment, which he continued in Maryland.

He also enrolled in Alcoholics Anonymous.

“The last couple of months have probably been the hardest I’ve ever had to go through in my entire life,” he said.

“I take full responsibility for all of my actions. I’ve hurt a lot of people and it’s been terrible.”

The 29-year-old swimmer was sentenced to 18 months of probation. He said he’s done more growing up in recent months than he has in his entire life.

sion that Hernandez was at the scene of the killing — an acknowledgement that they said helped confirm that he was guilty. They also described how the judge talked to them privately after they reached their decision and told them about other allegations and evidence not presented in the case, including the 2012 slayings and the last texts Lloyd sent minutes before he died saying that said he was with “NFL.” The jurors said that information reaffirmed their feeling that they had made the right decision.

In the Lloyd killing, the defense argued that investigators fixated on Hernandez because of his celebrity and conducted a shoddy investigation in their zeal to confirm their suspicions.
