BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Potentially icy conditions are expected to continue today.

On Monday afternoon, the National Weather Service Memphis Forecast Office posted a winter storm watch for

this morning until 6 p.m. today in Alcorn County for potential freezing rain accumulations. A winter weather advisory had been posted through 9 a.m. today.

NWS expects another upper level disturbance to bring a

new round of precipitation, and potentially icy troubles, to the Mid-South.

Following possible ice accumulations last night, new accumulations of at least one quarter inch are possible today.

Trees, power lines and elevated

road surfaces are the first to be affected by ice accumulations.

Precipitation should diminish by the evening.

After a weekend of heavy rains accompanying a cold front, more precipitation followed on Monday in the form

of sleet, freezing rain and a few snow flakes.

Some bursts of sleet came in the late morning and early afternoon, prompting both the city and county school disPlease see WEATHER | 2

Thieves continue to target area Dollar General stores.

The latest heist took place Friday when subjects broke out the front glass and got away with cash from the store’s safe in New Albany.

Locally, investigators with the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department continue to look for clues in the break-in of a Dollar General in Kossuth.

Arena prepares for farm show

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Equipment began rolling in and the telephone started ringing off the hook in preparation for the Alcorn Farm & Machinery-Home & Outdoor Show.

Monday was the start of a busy week at the Crossroads Arena as farm equipment was

being moved in for the show that kicks off Thursday and continues through Saturday.

“We have been pretty much flooded by calls from last-minute vendors,” said arena operations manager Greg Moss.

The Tri-State Flywheels Antique Tractor Club already had around six tractors on the arena

floor by midday Monday. The 30-member club is set to have close to 12 antique tractors ready for the show by Thursday.

Those attending the farm show can expect to see anything from a 1954 Model 40 John Deere to a 1949 Allis-Chalmers.

“We continue to work with other local agencies to solve the case,” said Reggie Anderson, investigator with the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department. “Any assistance the public can give us would be appreciated.”

City will consider board appointments

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

New appointments to the boards of Crossroads Arena and the Corinth School District are on the agenda today for the Board of Aldermen.

The city board will hold a regular meeting at 5 p.m.

The arena board has a vacancy as a result of the recent passing of Joe Franks, who

was appointed last July for a five-year term that began Aug. 22 and runs through 2017.

That seat on the board is a joint appointment with the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors.

Also up for consideration is the seat on the Corinth School District Board of Trustees Please see CITY | 2

Alliance particpates in Capital Day events

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Representatives from The Alliance traveled to Jackson last week to discuss Northeast Mississippi’s economic development with state leaders.

The trip was centered around Capital Day, a yearly meeting put together by the Mississippi Economic Council. Alliance president and chief operating officer Gary Chandler and 2013 Alliance CEO Brett Marlar joined the administrators, legislators and other leaders on Thursday.

“It’s great to see our leaders transcend county lines — and party lines — to work to better Alcorn County and the surrounding areas as a whole,” said Marlar.

The day began with a lineup of speakers at the Capitol. Gov. Phil Bryant, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves,

Secretary of State Delbert Hoseman and House Speaker Phil Gunn spoke were among the statewide leaders who spoke to Capital Day attendees about issues pertinent to the upcoming legislative session.

“They spoke about items relative to the upcoming session, like charter schools,” Chandler said. “Also, economic development and jobs are always a hot topic with any administration or legislative session.”

Later in the day, the Alliance president and CEO had an opportunity to briefly meet with the governor and his staff to discuss issues facing the area, including the potential expansion of existing industry, projects carrying over from 2012 and altogether new projects.

Gas prices predicted to decrease in 2013

Corinth husband, wife arrested for selling controlled substance

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

BY JONATHAN FAHEY AP Energy Writer

NEW YORK — At least gasoline should cost you less in 2013.

Hamburger, health care and taxes are all set to take a bigger bite out of the family budget this year. But drivers’ annual gas bills are expected to drop for the first time in four years.

Forecasters say ample oil supplies and weak U.S. demand will keep a lid on prices. The lows will be lower and the highs won’t be so high compared with a year ago. The average price of a gallon of gasoline will fall 5 percent to $3.44, according to the Energy Department.

“Everything is lining up to lead to softer prices this year,” said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service.

That would still be the third-highest average price ever. But a discount of 19 cents per gallon from 2012 would save the typical household $205 this year and free up $25 billion that could go instead to restaurants, malls or movie theaters — the kind of

consumer spending that accounts for 70 percent of American economic activity.

“It’s a little benefit to the economy, and it’s a little more reason the Fed doesn’t have to worry about inflation,” said James Hamilton, an economist at the University of California at San Diego who studies energy prices.

Forecasters caution that they can’t predict other factors like Middle East tensions, refinery problems or hurricanes along the U.S. Gulf Coast — in other words, the same events that caused gasoline prices to spike in 2011 and 2012. Any or all of those troubles could crop up again in 2013 and push pump prices above last year’s record average of $3.63 a gallon.

The government expected gas to average about $3 during 2011.

Then came the Arab Spring, which included the shutdown of Libya’s oil production. Oil prices shot up, and gasoline averaged $3.53 for the year. The government’s forecast for last year also turned out to be too low, by 18 cents per gallon.

And, Hamilton said, consumer spending might not see a boost from lower gasoline prices because most Americans will be paying higher taxes. The expiration of last year’s payroll tax reduction will cost an extra $579 for households making $40,000 to $50,000 in 2013, according to the Tax Policy Center, a non-partisan Washington research group.

But after average gas prices rose in 2010, 2011, and 2012, a little relief will be welcome in 2013.

Gas prices set records each of the past two years for a few reasons.

Global demand has risen as the developing economies of Asia, Latin America and the Middle East burn more gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. At the same time, unrest in the Middle East has sparked fears of widespread supply disruptions in a region that produces a quarter of the world’s oil.

That makes traders willing to pay higher prices up front for oil as a way to protect against possible dramatic price spikes in the future.

coming back.”

Larry Nelms was busy unloading his lawn mower pullers for the show.

“The show drew a lot of people last year,” said Nelms. “There were so many people, they talked my ears off.”

Nelms will have around nine of his pullers for individuals to check out.

“This is going to bring a lot of people,” he said. “If you are thinking about buying something to use in the spring, you will have a selection of things to look over this weekend.”

The auction, set for Saturday from 10 a.m.

until 5 p.m., has already $5 million in equipment committed.

Greg Peterson, aka Machinery Pete, will be filming segments for his “Machinery Show” that is televised on RFD-TV over the weekend.

Inside the facility, vendors will have many items on display.

“There will be everything from lawn mowers to barbecue grills inside and even some arts and crafts,” added Moss.

Cost share program still available for Tarebreeches Creek landowners For the Daily Corinthian

The Natural Resources Conservation Service is still accepting applications to help producers protect and improve soil and water resources within the Tarebreeches Creek watershed.

The watershed includes land that drains into a stream, creek or water body that flows into Tarebreeches Creek. This land is located northwest of Corinth and includes parts of the Gift and Holly communities.

Funds are made possible under a Section 319 Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency and are administered through the Mississippi Soil and Water Conservation Commission. The Commission was organized to assist local soil and water conservation districts with programs to help local farmers improve and protect soil and water quality in their respective counties.

The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality has been monitoring this watershed’s water quality over the past year to obtain levels of fecal coliform, nitrates and phosphates and sediment. This watershed was impaired enough for the agency to approve this watershed for funding installation of best management practices. Local landowners in this drainage area may install practices such as water troughs, heavy use areas, cross fencing, grade stabilization structures, tree planting and nutrient management.

Cost share for eligible practices is 60 percent federal funds and 40 percent local landowner funds. Each approved practice has components set forth that are eligible for cost share. The value of land taken out of production will be considered a component in the installation of structural practices only.

“The 319 Program helped me improve my grazing system,” local landowner Leamon Talley said. “This conservation investment allows me to rotate cattle between pastures, have a safe and environmentally-friendly area to feed cattle and provides adequate water for each pasture cell.”

Many landowners have already participated in this beneficial program to improve their cropland and pasture land. Funding is limited and will be available for only a short time.

Interested producers in this watershed should call or visit the local NRCS office located at 3103 Mullins Drive in Corinth or phone them at 662-2877223 Extension 3.

All programs are voluntary and offer sciencebased solutions that benefit both the landowner and the environment.

In Thaxton, the crime happened on Dec. 10 about 3:43 a.m. In both crimes, video shows two individuals involved with tying a chain to the safe and pulling it out through the front door.

In New Albany, thieves broke out the front glass around 5:30 a.m. before taking money from the safe. The safe was not taken in this theft. Thieves managed to get the safe open and take the cash that was inside.

“We haven’t had any weather-related problems yet,” Police Chief David Lancaster reported at 3 p.m. “We still need to watch the bridges and overpasses.”

He was concerned about conditions worsening, particularly after sunset and into this morning.

County supervisors were also keeping an eye on conditions. In the 2nd district, Supervisor Dal Nelms said bridges at Central School Road and U.S. 72 and on County Roads 306 and 309 appeared to be in the early stages of icing at mid-afternoon.

Law enforcement agencies in both Alcorn and Pontotoc counties believe their crimes could involve the same subjects. Both crimes saw a pair of while males enter the front doors of the store and tie some sort of logging chain to the safe. The safe was then pulled through the doors by a white pickup, causing major damage to the the front of each store.

Influenza activity is widespread across most of the United States, including the Crossroads area in Tennessee and Mississippi, and more flu activity overall than in recent flu seasons.

The Department of Health urges all who have not yet received a flu vaccine to get one now to help protect vulnerable people around them, their families and themselves from the flu virus.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that people who have had this year’s vaccine are about 60 percent less likely to have to visit a medical provider for treatment of influenza illness than unvaccinated people.

“We expect several more weeks of influenza activity, so we want everyone who hasn’t yet been vaccinated to do so now,” said Health Commissioner John Dreyzehner, MD. “People who are still unvaccinated are at the most risk of getting sick and spreading the virus to others..”

For those who do fall ill with the flu, treatment with antiviral medication may help.

Antiviral medications can reduce the length and severity of illness when started early, ideally within 48 hours of onset of illness.

People at high risk for developing serious complications from the flu,

such as young children, pregnant women, people age 65 and older, and those with chronic health conditions, should contact their health care providers to learn if antiviral medication or other treatment is recommended, noted Dr. Dreyzehner.

“Classic symptoms of the flu include fever, body aches, sore throat and cough. Anyone at high risk of serious illness who thinks they may have the flu should contact their healthcare provider promptly to determine if treatment with an antiviral medication could help them,” said Kelly Moore, MD. People who are sick should stay at home to recover, and to prevent spreading illness to coworkers and others.

TDH recommends not returning to work or school until 24 hours after your fever goes away in order to minimize the chances of spreading the flu to others.

It’s also important to practice good health habits to protect yourself from the flu and other winter viruses and to prevent spreading them to others if you do get sick.

Good health habits include frequent hand washing with soapy water, keeping hands away from your face, getting plenty of rest, eating a healthful diet and covering coughs and sneezes with a sleeve or tissue, noted Dr. Moore.

Lawmakers’ jobs are both boon, conflict

BY JEFF AMY JACKSON — It’s the strength and the weakness of a citizen legislature — many Mississippi lawmakers have other jobs back home.

A strength, because it gives them knowledge of particular subjects they make laws on. A weakness, because it can make them look like they’re pulling for their own self-interest when they’re in Jackson.

“In most jobs your experience is considered an advantage,” said Natalie Wood, a policy specialist with the National Council for State Legislatures. “But in legislatures, sometimes it can be considered a liability.”

The two sides of that coin were on display on the first day of the 2013 Mississippi Legislature last week, as the House Insurance Committee considered proposals to regulate special deals cut by drug plans with chain and mail-order pharmacies.

The committee includes two pharmacists — Republicans John Read of Gautier and Bobby Howell of Kilmichael. Read, according to his 2011 economic interest disclosure, works as a pharmacist for Fred’s Super Dollar. Howell, according to his statement, is retired.

Committee members faced appeals from pharmacists, especially those who own independent drug stores, to force drug plan managers to deal with all pharmacies on equal terms. The state already has a law that’s supposed to allow any drug store to participate in any insurance plan that the drug store accepts the terms of. But pharmacists say it’s not working, as plan managers push beneficiaries toward exclusive deals with chains and mail-order pharmacies.

Also sitting in on the meeting was Rep. Forrest Hamilton, R-Olive Branch. A former drug store owner, he still works part-time as pharmacist at a psychiatric hospital. That means changes in how drug stores get paid wouldn’t affect his income.

“I don’t have a dog in this, but I understand both sides and both issues,” Hamilton said.

He’s all for restrictions on special deals, not because it would benefit his former colleagues, other independent pharmacists, but because he says it’s good for the public.

“The No. 1 thing I think we need to be concerned about is the welfare of our constituents,” Hamilton said.

Pharmacist-legislators are far from the only lawmakers who might have to vote on regulating their own profession. Many Mississippi legislators are retired, but others work as lawyers, real estate agents, farmers, accountants, ministers, homebuilders, teachers, even paramedics, undertakers, exterminators and optometrists.

For example, House Insurance Committee Chairman Gary Chism, R-Columbus, is an insurance agent. He has long wanted to make it harder to evade Mississippi’s mandatory auto insurance law. That would benefit drivers who collide with others who are now uninsured. But it could also help Chism sell more auto insurance.

Wood, who works for NCSL’s center for ethics and government, says Mississippi is not unusual.

“With citizen legislatures, but with all legislatures, it’s an issue,” she said. “Conflict of interest is the most common ethical dilemma that legislators face. Conflicts are not good or bad. It’s how you handle them.”

In Mississippi, both legislative rules and state ethics law say lawmakers shouldn’t vote on issues in which they have a financial interest.

State ethics law says officeholders can’t use their office to gain financial benefits for themselves, their families or their businesses.

Officials can’t vote to send money directly to their business, but it may be legal for them to take regulatory actions that benefit their industry in general.

But knowledge of an industry can benefit the public. In Mississippi, most legislative committees don’t have staff members to research issues. Lawmakers often rely on lobbyists or government officials to explain proposals. Lawmakers with professional experience can test those claims against their own knowledge.

Prayer for today Lord -Jesus Christ, your blood washes away our sins and reconciles us to you. May we never get used to the wonder of a God who gives his own life for those who are killing him. Amen.

Bryant’s education plan offers workable solutions JACKSON — Pacing back and forth as he talked in front of the state’s most influential business group with his ever-present Western boots polished to a blinding shine, Gov. Phil Bryant appeared well at ease in his role as salesmanin-chief for his “Education Works” agenda as the 2013 legislative session.

Bryant used his time addressing the Mississippi Economic Council’s “Capital Day” event to urge the state’s business community to embrace his $26 million education plan – one that relies on some substantive basic reforms that have eluded the state for years but that seem – in most cases - infinitely doable from a political standpoint.

As an organization that has a half-century track record of both talking the talk and walking the walk in supporting public education in Mississippi, MEC was the perfect forum for Bryant to make his pitch.

The MEC has honored the state’s best and brightest high school scholars with

STAR (Student-Teacher Achievem e n t Recognition) student status Sid Salter for the last 46 years.

Columnist Mississippi State University President Mark Keenum reiterated MEC’s status as a business group that values education when he unveiled a new MSU scholarship program that will offer MEC’s STAR students $6,000 in additional scholarships. In doing so, MSU becomes the first Mississippi university to make that investment as an effort to keep the state’s best students in Mississippi to pursue their educations.

Bryant told the MEC crowd that he struggled as a child with reading before a teacher recognized that he in fact had dyslexia.

“I just thought I was dumb,” Bryant said. “The teacher knew better and told me so.” Bryant went on to tell the familiar story of

his diesel mechanic father’s support of his family and the dignity of jobs produced from vocation, technical and workforce training.

But Bryant’s “Education Works” focus is what he called the “literacy crisis” and the consequences of the continuation of Mississippi’s long history of so-called “social promotion” — passing students to the next grade when they are not academically prepared to do work on that new grade level.

Bryant said: “Data show that 46 percent of thirdgraders and 78 percent of fourth-graders in Mississippi are not proficient in reading. The problem only gets worse as students pass to the next grade, and by eighth grade, a student who couldn’t read proficiently in third grade is four times more likely to drop out of school than his peers.”

The “Education Works” agenda has other main points: Raising standards for teacher and a teacher merit pay pilot program; continuing early childhood education efforts; increas-

ing school choice through charter school legislation and open enrollment; and a program that would provide $10 million in tax credits to individuals or businesses who donate funds for students in low-performing school districts to attend private schools.

With Republicans in charge in both houses of the Legislature, much of Bryant’s plan should win legislative support. But there are policy disagreements over charter schools among GOP colleagues — and the open enrollment proposals are certain to generate criticism in some circles.

The MEC crowd by and large liked what they heard from Bryant as he made his pitch. One line in particular that drew applause was this one: “We have 152 walls that we build around these school districts, and we won’t let students in or out.

I want to change that.”

History suggests entitlement era is winding down

BY MICHAEL BARONE It’s often good fun and sometimes revealing to divide American history into distinct periods of uniform length. In working on my forthcoming book on American migrations, internal and immigrant, it occurred to me that you could do this using the American-sounding interval of 76 years, just a few years more than the Biblical lifespan of three score and 10.

It was 76 years from Washington’s First Inaugural in 1789 to Lincoln’s Second Inaugural in 1865. It was 76 years from the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse in 1865 to the attack at Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Going backward, it was 76 years from the First Inaugural in 1789 to the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, which settled one of the BritishFrench colonial wars. And going 76 years back from Utrecht takes you to 1637, when the Virginia and Massachusetts Bay colonies were just getting organized.

As for our times, we are now 71 years away from Pearl Harbor. The current 76-year interval ends in December 2017.

Each of these 76-year periods can be depicted as a distinct unit. In the colonial years up to 1713, very small numbers of colonists established separate cultures that have persisted to our times.

The story is brilliantly told in David Hackett Fischer’s

“Albion’s Seed.” For a more downbeat version, read the recent “The Barbarous Years” by the nonagenarian Bernard Bailyn.

From 1713 to 1789, the colonies were peopled by much larger numbers of motley and often involuntary settlers — slaves, indentured servants, the unruly Scots-Irish on the Appalachian frontier.

For how this society became dissatisfied with the colonial status quo, read Bailyn’s “Ideological Origins of the American Revolution.”

From 1789 to 1865, Americans sought their manifest destiny by expanding across the continent. They made great technological advances but were faced with the irreconcilable issue of slavery in the territories.

For dueling accounts of the period, read the proAndrew Jackson Democrat Sean Wilentz’s “The Rise of American Democracy” and the pro-Henry Clay Whig Daniel Walker Howe’s “What Hath God Wrought.”

Both are sparklingly written and full of offbeat insights and brilliant apercus.

The 1865-1941 period saw a vast efflorescence of market capitalism, European immigration and rising standards of living. For descriptions of how economic change reshaped the nation and its government, read Morton Keller’s “Affairs of State and Regulating a New

Society.”

The 70-plus years since 1941 have seen a vast increase in the welfare safety net and governance by cooperation between big units — big government, big business, big labor — that began in the New Deal and gained steam in and after World War II. I immodestly offer my own “Our Country: The Shaping of America From Roosevelt to Reagan.”

The original arrangements in each 76-year period became unworkable and unraveled toward its end.

Eighteenth-century Americans rejected the colonial status quo and launched a revolution and established a constitutional republic.

Nineteenth-century Americans went to war over expansion of slavery. Early 20th-century Americans grappled with the collapse of the private sector economy in the Depression of the 1930s.

We are seeing something like this again today. The welfare state arrangements that once seemed solid are on the path to unsustainability.

Entitlement programs — Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid — are threatening to gobble up the whole government and much of the private sector, as well.

Lifetime employment by one big company represented by one big union is a thing of the past. People who counted on corporate

or public sector pensions are seeing them default.

Looking back, we are as far away in time from victory in World War II in 1945 as Americans were at the time of the Dred Scott decision from the First Inaugural.

We are as far away in time today from passage of the Social Security in 1935 as Americans then were from the launching of post-Civil War Reconstruction.

Nevertheless our current president and most politicians of his party seem determined to continue the current welfare state arrangements — historian Walter Russell Mead calls this the blue state model — into the indefinite future.

Some leaders of the other party are advancing ideas for adapting a system that worked reasonably well in an industrial age dominated by seemingly eternal big units into something that can prove workable in an information age experiencing continual upheaval wrought by innovations in the market economy.

The current 76-year period is nearing its end. What will come next?

Mayor running for council post LAUREL — Laurel Mayor Melvin Mack may be leaving the mayor’s office but not politics.

Mack said that he will not seek re-election but will, instead, run for a vacant city council post.

Mack plans to run for the city’s ward seven post held by Councilman Trey Chinn. Chinn recently said he was not running again. Mack’s home is in ward seven.

“My family and I started talking about it and I decided I would run for a councilman position,” Mack said.

Mack served on the Jones County Board of Supervisors for eight years and on the Laurel City Council for eight years.

“Now that I’ve served in both positions, I know more,” Mack said. “The council has more authority than the mayor. As mayor, you have to have at least four votes to get something approved. The council position will allow me to concentrate on ward seven.”

Mack was elected to his first term as the first African American mayor of Laurel in 2005 and reelected in 2009.

As mayor, Mack said he concentrated on paving city streets and improving the city’s infrastructure with the ongoing water and sewer improvement projects.

Second suit involving fatal frat fire settled OXFORD — The second of two wrongful death lawsuits filed in the aftermath of a 2004 fatal fire at the Alpha Tau Omega house on

the University of Mississippi campus has been settled.

Jordan Williams of Atlanta, Ga., Howard Stone of Spencer, Va., and Will Townsend of Clarksdale died in the early morning fire on Aug. 27, 2004.

The Stone family’s suit was settled out of court last year, with terms undisclosed.

William M. Quin II, attorney for Williams’ family,said that the lawsuit has been “settled in principle.” He says within several weeks that papers will be filed with Lafayette County Circuit Court asking for the case to be dismissed.

Quin declined to discuss the settlement agreement.

Vicksburg police seize 7 pounds of meth VICKSBURG — Vicksburg police have seized a suitcase with seven pounds of methamphetamine after stopping a tour bus Monday on Interstate 20.

Police Capt. Bobby Stewart said that the drugs were found in piece of luggage with no name on it.

High court will referee equity case JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court will hear a civil dispute between a former samesex couple.

Mona Cates and Elizabeth Swain split in March 2006 after nearly six years together. Swain sued Cates seeking reimbursement for investments made in property during their partnership, according to court documents.

The case was heard by the Tate County Chancery Court, which ruled partially in Swain’s favor and awarded her

The Tornado passenger bus company is based in Dallas and runs passenger routes from Mexico to the Southeast and Midwest.

Stewart says about 30 people were on the bus, which was headed from Texas to North Carolina.

He says no one was arrested.

Police say the meth was found when the bus was stopped by Officer Wesley Miller and his K-9 partner, Thor, a 1-yearold German shepherd.

$44,995 in damages.

The issue was appealed to the Mississippi Court of Appeal, which reversed the lower court’s ruling last April.

The Supreme Court last November agreed to hear the case.

Court spokeswoman Beverly Kraft said that the Supreme Court has not yet scheduled oral arguments in the case.

The case is not on the court’s January-February docket.

According to court documents, Cates and Swain met in 2000 and by the end of the year had moved in together in a home Swain purchased in Pensacola, Fla. Cates provided earnest money, made the sole contributions to the cou-

ple’s joint checking account and paid $11,000 to trade in Swain’s vehicle for another, documents show.

Meanwhile, Swain paid the mortgage on the Florida home, and the couple jointly purchased other vehicles and made improvements to the home, the records show.

The house was sold — with Swain receiving about $32,000 in equity — when the couple moved to Seattle in 2003, according to the court documents.

Cates then purchased a home for $200,000, with Swain giving her a check for $34,000 representing the equity from her Florida home.

And two years later, the couple relocated

to Cates’ native Mississippi, where Cates purchased a $350,000 home.

Olive Branch becomes more bike-friendly OLIVE BRANCH — Olive Branch will likely be improving bicycle access to roadways soon, using an $189,600 grant from the state Department of Transportation.

The Board of Aldermen is scheduled to accept the grant at its meeting today. The city must match the grant with $47,400 for construction.

The 10-foot-wide bike and pedestrian lane is set to run from the soccer park on Church Road to Craft Road, where the city’s first bike lane lies.

Obama dodges criticism about lack of diversity

BY JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Deflecting criticism about a perceived lack of diversity in his second-term Cabinet, President Barack Obama on Monday urged Americans not to rush to judgment about who he will appoint to replace departing members of his team.

In a declaration tinged with the rhetoric of his re-election campaign, Obama asserted: “We’re not going backwards, we’re going forward.”

Scrutiny has been mounting over the number of women and minorities that will surround the nation’s first black president in his second term.

Cabinet members who are departing at the end of his first term — including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — are being replaced largely by white males. But in the final White House news conference of his first term, Obama brushed off that criticism, asking for critics to hold their tongues until the remaining vacancies have been filled.

“I’m very proud that in the first four years, we had as diverse, if not a more diverse, a White House and a Cabinet than any in history,” Obama said. “I intended to continue that, because it turns out when you look for the very best people, given the incred-

“We’re not going backwards, we’re going forward.”

President Barack Obama ible diversity of this country, you’re going to end up with a diverse staff.”

Running through a list of high-profile positions filled by women during his first term — such as Clinton and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius — Obama said women comprised 50 percent of his White House staff during his first four years, not to mention the two women he nominated to fill Supreme Court vacancies.

Obama’s appeal for patience was unlikely to quell the concerns of members of his own party who have publicly fretted whether Obama’s Cabinet and the tight cadre of advisers who will have his ear over the next four years will end up almost entirely male and white, in stark contrast to the diverse coalition of women, Hispanics and minorities that helped give Obama a second term.

“It’s as embarrassing as hell,” Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., one of the longest-serving AfricanAmericans in Congress, said last week.

Obama nominated Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry to replace Clinton at the State Department after U.N. Ambassador

Susan Rice, who is black, asked for her name to be removed from consideration. Republicans had blasted Rice over her initial comments about the attacks on Americans in Benghazi, Libya.

Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, who is Hispanic, stepped down last week, adding to a list of departures that includes EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, who is black. Obama has not yet announced who he will nominate to fill those roles. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is staying for Obama’s second term.

The president has announced his picks to fill two other top jobs, nominating former Sen. Chuck Hagel to run the Defense Department and Obama’s chief of staff, Jack Lew, to serve as Treasury secretary. Two leading candidates to replace Lew at the White House are both men.

Attorney General Eric Holder, who is black, and Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki, who is of Japanese-American descent, will stay on. A spokesman for Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Monday that he too will keep his job.

al dialogue to help prevent similar tragedies.

Parents held photos of their children, spoke in wavering voices, cried and hugged.

“I do not want to be someone sharing my experience and consoling another parent next time. I do not want there to be a next time,” Hockley said.

The group did not offer specific remedies, saying it wants to have openminded discussions about a range of issues, including guns, mental health and safety in schools and other public places. Several speakers said they did not believe there was a single solution.

“We want the Sandy Hook school shootings to be recalled as the turning point where we brought our community and communities across the nation together and set a real course for change,” said group cofounder Tom Bittman.

Adam Lanza, 20, shot his way into the school on Dec. 14 and killed 26 before committing suicide as police arrived. He also killed his mother at their Newtown home.

in American history, and the prospect of Afghans assuming a lead role in the fighting.

“My observation about Afghanistan at this point is this is the first time I’ve left there with a sense of optimism,” he told reporters in a conference call. “I think there’s a widely held view among the American military leaders there — we met with Gen. (John) Allen — that this has a very great potential for a happy ending after 2014, provided we have a residual force that we can provide for training.”

The United States now has 66,000 troops in Afghanistan. The U.S. and its NATO allies agreed in November 2010 that they would withdraw all their combat troops by the end of 2014, but they haven’t decided on the scope of future missions to contain al-Qaida and the size of a remaining force.

WASHINGTON — Suicides in the U.S. military surged to a record 349 last year, far exceeding American combat deaths in Afghanistan, and some private experts are predicting the dark trend will grow worse this year.

The Pentagon has struggled to deal with the suicides, which Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and others have called an epidemic. The problem reflects severe strains on military personnel burdened with more than a decade of combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, complicated by anxiety over the prospect of being forced out of a shrinking force.

Pentagon figures obtained Monday by The Associated Press show that the 349 suicides among active-duty troops last year were up from 301 the year before and exceeded the Pentagon’s own internal projection of 325. Statistics alone do not explain why troops take their own lives, and the Pentagon’s military and civilian leaders have acknowledged that more needs to be done to understand the causes.

Last year’s total is the highest since the Pentagon began closely tracking suicides in 2001.

It exceeds the 295 Americans who died in Afghanistan last year, by the AP’s count.

Boy convicted of killing white supremacist dad RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A boy who was only 10 when he fatally shot his white supremacist father was convicted Monday of second-degree murder by a judge who said the child knew what he did was wrong.

Riverside Superior Court Judge Jean Leonard weighed the severity of the crime versus whether the amount of abuse and neglect suffered by the boy, now 12, played a significant role in the slaying of 32-yearold Jeff Hall, a regional leader of the National Socialist Movement.

Leonard noted the boy lay in bed, waited for the right moment and shot his dad at point-blank range with the “bad gun” — a .357 Magnum — while he slept on a sofa in the family home.

“This was not a complex killing,” said Leonard, who heard the case without a jury. “He thought about the idea and shot his father.”

The boy’s stepmother told authorities that Hall had hit, kicked and yelled at his son for being too loud or getting in the way. Hall and the boy’s biological mother had previously gone through a divorce and custody dispute in which each had accused the other of child abuse. She initially told authorities she had killed Hall but then quickly retracted her statement. She was not charged in the case.

Defense attorney Matthew Hardy said because of the abuse his client learned it was acceptable to kill people who were a threat. The boy thought if he shot his dad, the violence would end, Hardy said.

Also at issue were the father’s racist beliefs.

Hall, who said he believed in a white breakaway nation, ran for a seat on the local water

Elder Bush leaves Houston hospital HOUSTON — Former President George H.W. Bush was released from a Houston hospital and went home Monday after spending nearly two months being treated for a bronchitis-related cough and other health issues, a family spokesman said.

Bush, 88, the nation’s oldest living former president, was admitted to Methodist Hospital on Nov. 23. His stay included a week in intensive care last month.

Bush had been in the hospital for about a month before his office disclosed in late December that he was in intensive care because physicians were having difficulty controlling a fever that developed after the cough improved.

His office said on Dec. 29 that he had been moved back to a regular hospital room. Since then, his condition has continued to improve and he has been undergoing physical therapy to rebuild his strength.

Bush’s office said he was treated for a bacterial infection, along with the bronchitis and cough.

Group launches anti-violence plan NEWTOWN, Conn. — Nicole Hockley says she still finds herself reaching for her son’s hand or expecting him to crawl into bed with her for a hug before school.

“It’s so hard to believe he’s gone,” said Hockley, whose son Dylan was among the 20 first-graders and six adults killed by a gunman a month ago at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

She was among several parents to speak Monday at the launch of Sandy Hook Promise, a group calling for a nation-

Toyota retakes global auto sales crown DETROIT — Toyota has once again dethroned General Motors as the world’s top-selling automaker.

The Japanese company sold 9.7 million cars and trucks worldwide in 2012, although it’s still counting.

GM sold 9.29 million.

Both companies saw higher sales, but Toyota’s growth was far larger as it rolled out new versions of popular models like the Camry.

GM executives promised sales growth this year, especially in the U.S. GM was the top-selling carmaker for more than seven decades before losing the title to Toyota in 2008. GM retook the sales crown in 2011 when Toyota’s factories were slowed by an earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The disaster left Toyota dealers with few cars to sell. The company has since recovered.

Today

Weaker sales expected Investors will await Forest Laboratoriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; latest earnings results today with tempered expectations.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the drug maker cut its annual net income forecast and lowered its sales estimates in October, citing lower sales of its Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease drug Namenda and other products, along with greater expenses and higher taxes. The company has been grappling with growing competition from generic versions of its former best-seller, the antidepressant Lexapro.

Spring season outlook?

Holiday shopping

Wall Street anticipates that Lennar's fiscal fourth-quarter earnings will surpass its results from a year earlier.

The homebuilder has benefited from a gradually improving housing market over the past 12 months that's fueled demand for new homes. Investors will be listening today during Lennar's earnings conference call to see if management gives its outlook for the upcoming spring home-selling season.

Economists will get more evidence today to help them gauge how sales fared during the holiday shopping season.

The Commerce Department is due to report retail sales figures for December. Early reports suggest that the U.S. holiday shopping season was respectable, but not robust. In one measure of holiday spending, retail sales rose only 2.5 percent for the November and December period, boosted by a last-minute shopping surge.

Kentucky still in search of team chemistry

BY GARY GRAVES Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Calipari is hoping his young Kentucky Wildcats finally get the message after their latest lesson in what it takes to win .

His team appeared to be progressing from a disappointing nonconference showing. Then came Saturday’s loss to Texas A&M — Kentucky’s first at home in Southeastern Conference play under Calipari.

The Wildcats (10-5, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) believe there’s time to regroup and fulfill expectations of winning another league title, and Tuesday night’s game against Tennessee (8-6, 0-2) offers a good opportunity to reboot.

Calipari hopes that the 83-71 loss to the Aggies will finally help his young Wildcats squad understand and “buy in” to his philosophy of being successful through commitment, hustle and trust — traits Kentucky has sporadically demonstrated this season.

Armstrong ‘sorry’ to Livestrong staff

BY JIM VERTUNO Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas — Lance Armstrong stopped at his Livestrong Foundation before heading to an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Monday and delivered an emotional apology to staff members, some of whom broke down in tears, a person with direct knowledge of the meeting told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussion was private.

Stripped last year of his seven Tour de France titles because of doping charges, Armstrong addressed the staff and said, “I’m sorry.”

The person said the disgraced

cyclist choked up and several employees cried during the session.

The person also said Armstrong apologized for letting the staff down and putting Livestrong at risk but he did not make a direct confession to the group about using banned drugs. He said he would try to restore the foundation’s reputation, and urged the group to continue fighting for the charity’s mission of helping cancer patients and their families.

After the meeting, Armstrong, his legal team and close advisers gathered at a downtown Austin hotel for the interview. The cyclist was to make a limited confession

to Winfrey about his role as the head of a long-running scheme to dominate the Tour with the aid of performanceenhancing drugs, a person with knowledge of the situation has told the AP. Shortly before the interview began around 1 p.m. local time, nearly a dozen of Armstrong’s closest friends and advisers gathered in the hotel lobby and were escorted to the room where the taping was taking place.

The group included Armstrong attorneys Tim Herman and Sean Breen, along with Bill Stapleton, Armstrong’s longtime agent, manager and business partner. All declined comment.

Winfrey and her crew had earlier said they would film the session, to be broadcast Thursday, at Armstrong’s home. As a result, local and international news crews were encamped near the cyclist’s Spanish-style villa before dawn.

Armstrong still managed to slip away for a run despite the crowds outside his home. He returned by cutting through a neighbor’s yard and hopping a fence.

During a jog on Sunday, Armstrong talked to the AP for a few minutes saying, “I’m calm, I’m at ease and ready to speak candidly.” He declined Please see ARMSTRONG | 9

Golden era for QBs, great stories around NFL

BY RACHEL COHEN Associated Press

NEW YORK — The two kids from Northern California burst from NFL afterthought to championship contender in eerily similar fashion a decade apart.

Tom Brady and Colin Kaepernick, each playing in a conference title game this weekend, are bookends to a fortuitous moment in quarterback history. On one side are the likes of Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, still scintillating in their mid30s.

On the other are Kaepernick, a second-year player, and the brilliant class of rookies with Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson leading their teams to the playoffs.

Young, old and in between,

the current crop of NFL quarterbacks is not only deep but dynamic and diverse.

“We’re in a little bit of a boom right now. We’re flowing a little bit, especially young players,” Hall of Famer Steve Young said last week.

“If those guys continue to develop, we’ll have a period of time here, kind of a Camelot of quarterbacking.”

The depth of the position shows in the other two guys joining the Patriots’ Brady and the 49ers’ Kaepernick in the conference championship games. Atlanta’s Matt Ryan and Baltimore’s Joe Flacco were first-round draft picks in 2008, and for all their successes, they’re probably low on the list when fans think of the most dominant NFL quarterbacks.

Yet here they are a win away

from the Super Bowl after leading stirring comebacks that answered many doubts about each.

Quarterback has long been the glamour position of all of sports, but it seems even a bit more glamorous right now.

Rule changes favor a wideopen passing game, which makes a superior quarterback more valuable. Colleges and high schools run more sophisticated offenses, and the best athletes gravitate to quarterback then develop into polished passers who happen to be able to scramble.

“I can’t remember — even though this is a quarterbackdriven league — as many remarkable and compelling stories on the quarterback side as you’re seeing this year,” CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus said.

There was that brief stretch less than 15 years ago when Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson won Super Bowls, and it seemed perhaps championship teams didn’t need a star at the position. Since then, here’s the roll call of victorious quarterbacks: Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, both Manning brothers, Brees and Aaron Rodgers.

Twenty-five of the 46 Super Bowl MVPs have been quarterbacks, but now it’s five of the last six. In the half-dozen years before that, four were nonQBs, including two defensive players.

“It ebbs and flows, no question. There’s some dark times where you have two or three guys that can truly do it,” said Young, Kaepernick’s forerunner as a dual-threat San FranPlease see GOLDEN | 9

Twins caravan stirs excitement, despite tough sell

BY DAVE CAMPBELL Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — In the sunshine of spring training, fresh-start excitement emanates from all major leagues teams.

The Twins fire up the optimism earlier than that, even in the frozen dark of a January morning in Minnesota.

Their annual winter caravan began on Monday, with manager Ron Gardenhire in the first group to go out.

“You start talking baseball and you get to see all the players, and it kind of gets you really pumped up for it,” Gardenhire said. “And you get excited to get down there and get going again. We have a lot to prove and a lot to do.”

Gardenhire joined new bench coach Terry Steinbach, middle infielder Brian Dozier, television announcer Dick Bremer and a handful of other Twins employees at the K-TWIN radio station studio

across the street from Target Field. With a cup of coffee in his hand, Gardenhire was his usual joking, jovial offseason self. He recounted his recent travels, including motorhome trips to Oklahoma and California with his wife and mother.

“I found out what DEF is: diesel exhaust fluid,” Gardenhire said. “And if you run out of it, your engine stops.

I didn’t run out, but it was flashing. I’m going, ‘What ... is this?’”

The Twins, coming off consecutive finishes of 99 and 96 losses, are counting on a smoother ride in 2013. Gardenhire is in the final year of his contract, with notable improvement by the team likely necessary for him to be retained.

But as the 12th-year manager prepared to get on a luxury bus for a four-day journey around southern Minnesota, northern Iowa and eastern

South Dakota, he said his enthusiasm wasn’t deterred by a club currently in developmental mode.

“You’re always teaching them, and it’s a constant.

They’ll tell you, ‘You never stop learning the game,’” Gardenhire said.

This ritual of reconnecting with fans over five states is designed to stir interest in the upcoming season, and that’s a harder sell for the Twins these days. But with a revamped coaching staff, a rotation that will likely be 80 percent new and the probability of significant roles for some of the organization’s top prospects, there are plenty of potential reasons to follow this team, even if the playoffs don’t appear to be a realistic goal.

Gardenhire lamented the loss of outfielders Denard Span and Ben Revere in separate trades, but that was the price required to fetch some front-line starting pitching.

Alex Meyer and Trevor May aren’t part of the plans for this year, but Vance Worley, also acquired from Philadelphia for Revere, is. Free-agent signings Kevin Correia and Mike Pelfrey are also slotted in with Scott Diamond, their closest to a staff ace last season.

“We can score runs. We just needed to stay in the games a little bit longer, and hopefully that’s what we’ve accomplished. We’ll see,” Gardenhire said.

The Twins also aimed to give Gardenhire some more support, so they hired two former players, Steinbach and hitting coach Tom Brunansky, as part of a staff shakeup that left only pitching coach Rick Anderson returning to the same job. Steinbach will work closely with the catchers. That can’t hurt the team’s beleaguered starting pitching, Please see TWINS | 9

CONTINUED FROM 8

cisco QB and now an ESPN analyst.

Jimmy Johnson, who won two Super Bowls with future Hall of Famer Troy Aikman as his quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, was talking to Bill Belichick last summer about the recent shift. Belichick has won three championships with Brady, but even as of a few years ago, both coaches believed a title was possible behind a strong defense and running game.

Not anymore, they agreed.

“Now, the only thing that matters is if you get a great quarterback,” said Johnson, now a Fox commentator.

Of this year’s playoff teams, the only one without great stability at quarterback was Minnesota. And the Vikings had a guy named Adrian Peterson.

The bottom of the standings is full of clubs with uncertainty at the position: from the Chiefs and Jaguars to the Eagles, Cardinals and Jets.

This year, 20 quarterbacks started every regular-season game, nearly two-thirds of the league.

TWINS CONTINUED FROM 8

which ranked third-to-last in the majors last year with a 4.77 ERA. “I enjoyed, when I was catching, the mental part of the game.

Game calling, setting up hitters and going with your gut feeling and trying to pick up on what the hitter might be tipping off, what they’re trying to do, what the situation is,” Steinbach said, adding: “I just think that there’s things the catchers can look for and pick up on and hopefully try to work that guy.”

Angry husband leaves home to find a friendly welcome DEAR ABBY: Recently my husband, “Byron,” and I had an argument, and he took off in his truck. He didn’t return until after work the following day. He had he spent the night at our friend “Arlene’s” house.

She is divorced and lives alone.

Byron assures me “nothing happened” between them. I want to believe him, but ever since this incident, Arlene will not look me in the eye or speak to me.

I love Byron and trusted him until now. It hurts to think that our marriage may be ruined over a stupid argument. I know he was intoxicated, but why did he choose to go to her home? – BROKEN-

HEARTED IN W Y O MING DEAR B R O K E N Abigail HEARTVan Buren ED: He chose to Dear Abby go to her h o m e (even drunk as a skunk) because he knew he would be welcomed. It’s also the reason Arlene can’t look you in the eye. Marriage counseling for you and Byron may help you put this to rest. If he refuses to go with you, go without him.

P.S. It appears Arlene has an agenda of her own – and Byron may be one of the items on it. You’d be wise to delete her from

your list of friends.

DEAR ABBY: I have always been touched by the acts of kindness stories in your column. When I was 20, I went into New York City to attend classes. Upon my arrival, I was mugged in the bus station.

It was rush hour and I was too scared to scream.

After the mugger ran off, I picked up the few belongings that had fallen out of my handbag, walked across the street and down the stairs to the subway. It was then I realized I had no money to buy a token. I started crying and couldn’t stop.

A middle-aged woman with a friendly smile arrived and stayed at my side until the authorities arrived. She calmed me

down and wouldn’t leave until she knew I was in safe hands. Before she left, she slipped some money into my pocket.

After Sept. 11, I heard people say how “surprised” they were that New Yorkers “came together.” Not me, Abby. I have known since the day I was mugged that there are only a few bad apples in the Big Apple. I hope my good Samaritan will see your column and realize what her compassion and generosity meant to me that day and ever since. – STILL COMMUTING IN NYC DEAR STILL COMMUTING: Thanks for an upper of a letter, which proves that kindheartedness is universal -- and not

DEAR ABBY: Please help me and thousands of other payroll administrators with a public service message. I will be sending out W-2s this month to current and former employees. Last year, I got back about 10 percent of these W-2s because employees have moved and left no forwarding addresses. Often the phone has also been disconnected.

Please remind anyone who has changed jobs and moved in the past year to make sure their former employer has their new address so their W-2 will arrive on the first try. I have a stack of these forms that have never been

claimed by former employees and no idea how to contact them. – PAYROLL ADMINISTRATOR, FORT PAYNE, ALA. DEAR ADMINISTRATOR: I’m pleased to pass along your message.

The W-2 is proof the government needs to verify what someone has been paid and what has been withheld by the employer.

Employers are required to provide one.

The Pisces Moon is a spiritual teacher. She reminds us that the wild moments you create outside of yourself bring only temporary release.

True freedom comes from bringing your inner world to a state of harmony. The expansive, unlimited joyful feeling was always there inside you, waiting for you to tap in.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your senses are ready to take life in high definition. Sounds sparkle and colors appear brighter. This may have something to do with that interesting someone you keep running into.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have plenty of charm to at your disposal, and you can dish it generously when needed. However, right now you may find that life is a lot less complicated if you simply tell the far-less charming truth about things.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People seem to think you’re some kind of super hero these days.

You’ll warm into the day, determined not to let a loved one’s long list of expectations overwhelm you.

CANCER (June 22July 22). True history can be hard to find.

Happy New Year At the beginning of a New Year, it is always good to take heed to some exhortations from the word of God. The Bible - “and the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, this month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you” (Exodus 12:1-2).

The following is an acrostic of Happy New Year to point out some of the exhortations. All can be helped by reading the scripture references.

H-old fast to your faith. Heb. 10:22-25, Lk. 18:8, 2 Tim. 4:7 A-ssemble with the saints when they meet.

Heb. 10:25 P-ray earnestly every day. Matt 7:7, 11 P-repare to meet thy God. Amos 4:12 Y-ield not to temptation. Matt. 26:41; James 1:13-16; Heb. 4:15 N-eglect not your talents. Matt. 25:14-30 E-xamine yourself daily. 2 Cor. 13:5 W-ork deligently for the Lord. I Cor. 15:58 Y-ield your members to righteousness. I Cor. 15:34; I Tim. 6:11 E-xercise thyself to Godliness. I Tim. 4:7 A-im at sinless perfection. Heb. 6:1 R-edeem the time. Eph. 5:16; James 4:12-14 Happiness is a choice - a wise choice, Becoming a Christian is a choice, yes, a wise choice. Start the New Year off right. Hear the word of God - Believe the word - repent of a sinful life - Confess your faith in Christ - be baptized for remission of sin. Can we helpgive us a call. What can we learn? To obey Christ is a wise choice. Read your Bible every day. Welcome to Northside

Even those who are trying to stick to the facts cannot form an entirely impartial version. Listen for the spin and put everything in a context.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Just as soon as you figure out which job to do, you’ll get it done. The hard part is the forethought. Take all the time you need to get organized and prioritize your efforts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You’ll be reviewed by your toughest critic — you! Did you do a great job? Yes, of course you did. Is there room for improvement?

Yes, as usual. You should really give yourself a raise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Saying “no” is freedom. If you can’t say “no” or if you believe you can’t, you’re in prison. Exercise your right to disagree, decline or walk away. To liberty!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). No one can make you want something you don’t or be interested in something that doesn’t interest you. Your attractions come naturally and for reasons that are mysterious even to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are several people who have the credentials you need to fulfill a certain job.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No one can tell you who you are. You can’t blame the ones who try, nor can you take their comments too personally.

Their suggestions have nothing to do with you really.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Romantic attention will make you swoon inside, though it’s likely that your outside will remain unfazed. It has to be this way if you’re to stay in control.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re all heart now, overflowing with feeling and filled with passion for your endeavors. The Moon in your sign will embolden you all day and into tomorrow morning.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 15). This year puts you in touch with the simple pleasures that make you happy.

You’ll find yourself wanting fewer things, talking less and enjoying the spaces in your schedule. Others sense how centered you’ve become, and you’ll be offered what seemed withheld from you before. March and July bring financial bonus.

Cancer and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 23, 50, 1 and 17.

Man pardoned by Barbour involved in fatal shooting JACK ELLIOTT JR. Associated Press

JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; One of the ex-prisoners who received a full pardon last year from then-Gov. Haley Barbour was involved in exchange of gunfire that killed another man last week, a northern Mississippi sheriff said.

Calhoun County Sheriff Greg Pollan said Wayne Thurman Harris of Slate Springs and Chris McGonagill of Calhoun City got into an argument at a cookout and both of them fired guns. Both men were wounded, McGonagill fatally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to put it all together. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a puzzle,â&#x20AC;? Pollan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know Harris was hit once

in the leg and McGonagill about six times.â&#x20AC;?

Pollan said no charges have been filed because he has not had a chance to interview Harris.

McGonagill died about 1 a.m. Friday at Baptist Hospital in Oxford. Harris was being treated at the North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo.

The incident took place about three miles south of Calhoun City on Mississippi Highway 9. Calhoun City is about 150 miles northeast of Jackson.

Harris received a full and unconditional pardon from Barbour on Jan. 10, 2012. Pollan said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and state documents show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Harris had completed his sentence for sale of mari-

juana when the pardon was issued.

State prison system records show Harris was sentenced in Calhoun County on Jan. 19, 2001, for the sale of marijuana to 20 years in prison, with five years suspended conditioned upon his completion of three years post release supervision.

He was given an official release on Dec. 21, 2007.

Convicted felons typically are not allowed to possess firearms, but Pollan said that does not apply in Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; case because of the full pardon he received from Barbour.

Pollan said at least three other people were at the cookout when the argument began.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anyone else was involved,â&#x20AC;? he said He said investigators determined that McGonagill was carrying a 9mm pistol and shot Harris at least once in the leg. He said Harris pulled a .22-caliber rifle out of his truck, which was parked nearby, and fired at McGonagill, striking him multiple times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point we know at least 13 total shots were fired,â&#x20AC;? Pollan said. However, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cannot confirm who fired first.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once I talk to (Harris) weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet with the district attorney and go over the case and decide then about charges,â&#x20AC;? the sheriff said.

Barbour, a Republican,

sparked an uproar when he pardoned nearly 200 people as his second term was ending in January 2012. The total included four convicted murderers and a robber who worked as inmate trusties at the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mansion.

Crime victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advocates and families across the state called for the pardons to be revoked.

Barbour has said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at peace with the pardons because his Christian faith teaches about redemption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe in second chances and I try hard to be forgiving,â&#x20AC;? Barbour said in an interview last year.

The issue went to the Mississippi Supreme Court which ruled last

March that the pardons were valid.

Barbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions also prompted a short-lived legislative debate about changing the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pardoning powers. However, lawmakers made no changes.

Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s custom of using convicted killers and others serving long sentences as workers at the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mansion is somewhat unusual. For decades, it was the custom of governors to grant those workers some type of early release.

Gov. Phil Bryant, a Republican who succeeded the term-limited Barbour, stopped the program. He also said he would not issue such pardons.

NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As rain followed rain in southwest Louisiana, crawfish farmers saw their livestock swim over the levees around their ponds while fish swam in to feast on those remaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though a road may be passable, a bridge can ice quickly causing drivers to lose control quickly causing accidents and injuries,â&#x20AC;? the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency cautioned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very important that our residents remain weather aware during the next 24 to 48 hours,â&#x20AC;? said agency Director Robert Latham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As is typical in our state, we could experience a wide variety of weather threats including winter weather, ice, flood-

ing and severe thunderstorms.â&#x20AC;?

Rain is in the forecast at least until Wednesday in the southwest and possibly into Thursday in southeast Louisiana and south Mississippi, meteorologists said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a warm rain â&#x20AC;&#x201D; temperatures in southeast Louisiana dropped from the mid-70s to the mid50s as a cold front moved through Sunday, said meteorologist Robert Ricks in Slidell, La. Parts of southwest Louisiana got up to a foot of rain last week. And more was coming.

In the Jefferson Davis Parish town of Lake Arthur, Mayor Robert B. Bertrand suggested on Saturday that people in lowlying areas leave town. On Sunday, he said there was some street flooding and

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very important that our residents remain weather aware during the next 24 to 48 hours.â&#x20AC;?

Robert Latham Director Mississippi Emergency Management Agency water in at least one house in an area along the lake, where water had come over the levees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water in yards along the lake but not in homes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too bad as long as water doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue to come up,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our pumps have kept the town mostly water-free.â&#x20AC;?

Although more rain was likely, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;at least the windâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of the north.â&#x20AC;?

South winds will push water farther up the streams and bayous, but a north wind will help push it out toward the Gulf of Mexico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All it needs to do is go

down two or three inches and we could all breathe a little easier.â&#x20AC;?

Those south winds brought water higher than David Savoy of Church Point had ever seen it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had water over the slab of the carport one time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one inch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that was during a hurricane. I had water a foot deep over my carport this time,â&#x20AC;? he said.

It also flooded about 35 percent of his crawfish ponds, which cover 1,700 acres. One problem, he said, is that crawfish do better in lower areas, which

are the ones that flood first.

At one spot, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could have just scooped them out and filled a 5-gallon bucket with little crawfish, the size of my little finger, with one big scoop.â&#x20AC;?

Those are just the crustaceans heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hoped to harvest later in the year. Another big problem is that water high enough for crawfish to leave means that fish can swim in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we call gully perch, catfish, buffalo fish, garfish â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all tend to swim over those levees,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buffalo fish as long as my arm get in on two inches of water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they eat, man.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in heaven. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eat until you have nothing left. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to get them out of there.â&#x20AC;?

Stephen Minvielle, who farms 80 acres of crawfish in New Iberia and is director of the state Crawfish

Research and Promotion Board, estimated that perhaps 10,000 to 25,000 of Louisianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 250,000 acres of crawfish ponds were under water.

His own ponds were safe so far, he said, but about half of his two neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 700 acres of ponds had been flooded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put in extra time when I built them 12 years ago, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I went that extra foot higher,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Southeast Louisiana only got about a half-inch or so of rain by Sunday afternoon, meteorologist Phil Grigsby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting the rain to be a bigger issue tonight and tomorrow. The frontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to stall.â&#x20AC;?

That could bring 1 to 2 inches of rain, possibly up to 3, in southeast Louisiana and south Mississippi, he said.

Freezing cold grips West Coast, some citrus groves damaged Associated Press

FRESNO, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As an unusual cold gripped the West Coast for the fifth day, some California citrus growers began to see damage on Monday while strong winds added to the misery of bundledup city residents.

The extreme chill in the West comes as the Eastern U.S., from Atlanta to New York City, is seeing spring-like weather.

In the San Joaquin Valley, where farmers are fighting to protect about $1.5 billion worth of citrus fruit on their trees, Sunday temperatures dropped to 25 degrees in some areas and stayed low longer than previous nights.

Prolonged tempera-

tures in the mid-20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or below cause damage to citrus crops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was our coldest night to date,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Story of Exeter-based California Citrus Mutual, an association of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3,900 citrus growers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think mandarin growers are going to see a range of significant damage, enough that they will have to separate their crops.â&#x20AC;?

Mandarins are more susceptible to cold than other citrus and start to freeze at about 32 degrees, Story said. Because many mandarin trees were planted in recent years as the fruitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity soared, they are grown in colder areas outside the traditional citrus belt.

Other citrus crops saw little or minimal damage, Story said. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high sugar content in oranges helped protect them, he said, because sugar inhibits freezing.

Growers deployed wind machines to keep the warm air closer to the ground and irrigation to raise the temperature in the groves. Rows farthest away from the protection could be damaged, Story said. And farmers who do not have wind machines could lose crops.

Lindsey-based Robert LoBue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who grows 1,000 acres of citrus, including mandarins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said wind machines were critical in his groves, but saving the crop doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come cheap. LoBue runs one

wind machine for every 10 acres and has to employ a crew to man them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very diligent, we run the wind and water all night,â&#x20AC;? LoBue said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending thousands of dollars to protect these crops.â&#x20AC;?

And farmers are on the hook for a fifth cold night: a freeze warning remains in effect until 10 a.m. Tuesday for central California.

In Southern California, strong winds helped to keep crops out of danger by keeping the cold from settling.

Temperatures in downtown Los Angeles plummeted to 34 degrees, breaking the previous record of 36 degrees set on Jan. 14, 2007.

Winds gusted to 41

mph in Riverside, while Santa Ana and Van Nuys reported gusts to 26 mph.

In Angeles National Forest, where overnight temperatures have been dropping into the 20s, Arcadia hiker Danny Kim, 28, was found Sunday night after surviving 26 hours in the frigid West Fork wilderness. Kim was airlifted to a hospital for treatment of hypothermia.

The body of a homeless man was found just before dawn Monday on a Los Angeles Skid Row sidewalk, but it was unclear if the death was caused by the record cold.

In Beverly Hills, fans brought heavy coats and scarves as they waited along the red carpet hoping to catch glimpses

of stars arriving for the Golden Globes ceremony Sunday evening. Some of the actors shivered but werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather be nippy than boiling hot,â&#x20AC;? said actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who arrived in a strapless dress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not wearing any leggings or long underwear.â&#x20AC;?

In San Diego, zookeepers offered extra heat and shelter for some animals.

The cold air was flowing east into neighboring Arizona, where metropolitan Phoenix was marking one of its coldest stretches in years. Temperatures over the weekend dipped to 30 degrees at Sky Harbor International Airport and fell well below zero in mountainous Flagstaff.
