Mother-daughter murder trial begins BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com
BOONEVILLE — Proceedings began Tuesday in the retrial of a Prentiss County woman accused of murder in the shooting death of her mother in 2010. Prosecutors described the crime as a deliberate murder in the course of an argument between the two women, while defense attorneys argued it was a tragic accident that happened during a struggle for a
“She never thought that the child she gave life to would be the one that would take her life.” Kimmi Kitchens Assistant District Attorney, Prentiss County weapon. A mistrial was declared last October in the first trial of Rebecca Lynn Jones after she fell ill following the second day of the trial and was hospitalized
in Alabama. She was later released from the hospital and ordered held without bond until the conclusion of her second trial. Jones was charged in the
May 2010 death of her mother, Jane Jones, who was shot twice at her home at 439 Highway 4 East, Booneville. A jury of seven men and seven women (including two
alternate jurors) was seated for the start of the new trial around 3 p.m. Tuesday after a daylong jury selection process. Assistant District Attorney Kimmi Kitchens told jurors in her opening statement Rebecca Jones had a lifelong problem with drug and alcohol abuse that led to problems in all of her relationships and caused her mother to have to step in and take control of land Please see TRIAL | 3A
Public records sought in case Police investigate where principal was dismissed second shooting BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
A local attorney has submitted a letter requesting public records from the Alcorn County School District. Attorney Joseph Wallace sent the letter to the Alcorn County Board of Education — in care of the board attorney — on Monday. Signed by eight parents of Alcorn Central Middle School students, the letter requests documents and records related to the investigation, suspension and termina-
tion of former Alcorn Central Middle School principal Dan Burcham. The letter also asks for all documents and records relating to any breach or potential breach of the privacy of ACMS students, whether or not such a breach of privacy is related to personnel decisions affecting the former principal. According to the request letter, the records should be released because their disclosure is of great public interest to the parents of ACMS children and

Tourism sponsors Farmington event BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
The Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau Board approved a $5,000 sponsorship for the Battle of Farmington Reenactment, slated for mid-Septemeber. Farmington Mayor Dale Fortenberry submitted the funding request at Tuesday’s meeting of the Tourism Board. At its beginning in 2007, the Farmington reenactment was produced by local volunteers. Only 40 reenactors participated, and all were from Mississippi. By last year the event had grown to include over 600 reenactors from 16 states, some traveling from as far away as Gettysburg and Fort Worth, Texas. “This year we believe we could have 1,200 to 1,500 reenactors,” said Fortenberry. The event is sponsored by the Blue-Gray Alliance, one of the largest living history groups. The Blue-Gray Alliance has pledged to make Farmington one of its yearly events. “The reason they want to come here, it’s not because the size of Farmington, but because a lot of their ancestors fought here in 1862,” said Fortenberry. All of the sponsorship money will be spent in advance on advertising and promotion for the event, the mayor said. The majority of the money will be spent locally, the only exception being the purchase of ads from the Civil War Courier and the Civil War News, the nation's two primary reenacting
publications. As in previous years, there will be no reenactors fee and no admission for the Farmington reenactment. “We don’t do this for the money,” said Fortenberry. “It’s for the history and heritage of our community.” A unique part of the Farmington reenactment is the emphasis put on its school days — the day-long events held for area schoolchildren. Last year approximately 2,200 students from grades 4 through 7 attended the two-day school days segment of the reenactment. “This year it looks like we’re going to three days,” said Fortenberry. “If we take all comers, we’ll have 3,000 kids over the three days.” In total, the event will include three days of school days and two days of reenactments. The major emphasized how much potential for growth the Farmington event has demonstrated — and how important the reenactment can be for the local economy. “You’d be surprised at how many people want to come here,” Fortenberry said. “The people will stay here, shop here.” Fortenberry said he can see the event quickly growing to draw 4,000 people a year to Alcorn County. “We haven’t even scratched the surface of what the Civil War could do in this area,” he said.

McClain’s sophomore classmate Madison Bickert plans on using her art talents to help the
shelter. “I believe more people will show up to adopt animals when the shelter is fixed up more,” said Bickert, who plans on putting designs together for five of the rooms at the facility. “I might be over my head, but I have all kinds of ideas to go along with the theme.” Please see SHELTER | 6A

Today in history Today is Wednesday, Feb. 20, the 51st day of 2013. There are 314 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 20, 2003, a fire sparked by pyrotechnics broke out during a concert by the group Great White at The Station nightclub in West Warwick, R.I., killing 100 people and injuring about 200 others.
On this date: In 1792, President George Washington signed an act creating the U.S. Post Office. In 1809, the Supreme Court ruled that no state legislature could annul the judgments or determine the jurisdictions of federal courts. In 1839, Congress prohibited dueling in the District of Columbia. In 1862, William Wallace Lincoln, the 11-yearold son of President Abraham Lincoln and first lady Mary Todd Lincoln, died at the White House, apparently of typhoid fever. In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt signed an immigration act which excluded “idiots, imbeciles, feebleminded persons, epileptics, insane persons� from being admitted to the United States. In 1933, Congress proposed the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to repeal Prohibition. In 1944, during World War II, U.S. bombers began raiding German aircraft manufacturing centers in a series of attacks that became known as “Big Week.� In 1962, astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth as he flew aboard Project Mercury’s Friendship 7 spacecraft. In 1965, the Ranger 8 spacecraft crashed on the moon, as planned, after sending back thousands of pictures of the lunar surface. In 1971, the National Emergency Warning Center in Colorado erroneously ordered U.S. radio and TV stations off the air; some stations heeded the alert, which was not lifted for about 40 minutes. In 1998, Tara Lipinski of the U.S. won the ladies’ figure skating gold medal at the Nagano Olympics; Michelle Kwan won the silver.

belonging to her as well as eventually take custody of the defendants daughter. Kitchens said Jane Jones tried her best to care for her daughter. “She never thought that the child she gave life to would be the one that would take her life,� she said. The simmering hostility between the two women came to a head on the night of the shooting when Rebecca Jones went to her mother’s house to confront her after being told Jane Jones was planning to sell some land that Rebecca Jones had given her control of. Kitchens told the jury Rebecca Jones came to the house armed and during the argument that ensued she fired

two shots, striking her mother, and then left the house. “As her mother lay in the floor with two bullets, dying, bleeding, the defendant walked out the door leaving her mother to die,� she said. Kitchens said the evidence will show there was no sign of a fight or struggle in the home and no evidence the defendant attempted to help her mother. She instead left the home and only returned a short time later after fleeing from the scene. Defense attorney Rob Laher acknowledged the history of conflict between the two women and his client’s history of drug abuse. He told the jury the evidence will show the lifelong conflict between mother and daughter stemmed from Jane
Jones’ difficulty in dealing with the death of her other daughter, who was killed in an accident. “Jane took the pain of losing her other daughter out on Becky,� said Laher. He said at the time of the shooting Rebecca Jones had gotten her life straightened out, was off drugs, and was in a healthy relationship with a man from Alabama. Laher said the defendant had come to Booneville that day to visit friends and family and had stopped by her mother’s home to check on her because she was concerned about things she had heard about her mother’s recent actions. Laher said during the course of the visit the women talked about the land and other issues and when Rebecca Jones
got up to leave an argument began and they struggled for the gun Rebecca kept in her purse for protection after she had been attacked several years before. “There was a struggle for the gun,� he said. During the struggle the gun went off and Jane Jones was struck. He said the defense will show Rebecca Jones then panicked and left, but returned after coming to her senses and realizing she had done nothing wrong. The first day of the trial ended with testimony from Sheriff’s Deputy Tammy Johnson, the first officer on the scene, who described arriving and seeing Rebecca Jones drive back up to the home. She said she took Jones into custody and then entered the home, where she found
Jane Jones on the floor of the living room with two gunshot wounds. Johnson said Jane Jones told her there had been an argument and the gun went off. She then began asking for help as her condition deteriorated. Johnson testified there was no sign of a physical struggle in the home and Rebecca Jones showed no physical or emotional signs of having been in a fight. On cross examination by Laher, Johnson agreed she did not know the normal condition of the home or Jones’ normal demeanor but said there was no damage to the home to lead her to believe a struggle had taken place. Testimony in the trial is scheduled to continue this morning in Prentiss County Circuit Court.
ly, but let’s say a teacher turned out to be a Martian. And then the school district terminated the Martian teacher. Well, if any child was the victim of Martian plasma or there was even a potential for Martian plasma exposure, the school district could not claim that employee/ employer confidentiality prevented disclosure of potential exposure to Martian plasma,� said Wallace. “I say that not to joke about a serious matter but to simplify the point.� Wallace emphasized that the public records request is for records dealing with a potential breach of privacy. “Just like anything else that affects parents and students, if information like this exists, that information should be released by the school district as soon as possible,� Wallace said. “If there are any records relating to a potential breach of privacy, I think the school district has no choice but to release those records. They can redact any references to particular personnel, and then release a redacted version of the records that discusses only potential privacy issues.� In the request letter, Wallace points out that even if breach of pri-
vacy allegations are unfounded and no records reflect any impairment of students’ and parents’ rights and interests, the atmosphere of uncertainty is such that the educational welfare of the students has been compromised, and full disclosure is essential if the school is to ever get back to educating students in a stable atmosphere. The letter closes with a request for the school board to produce the re-
cords in electronic or paper format no later than the 12-day compliance period for a Mississippi Public Records Act request. It states a chancery court action to compel production of the documents may follow, should the board fail to comply. “The board attorney has 14 days to respond to our request,� said Wallace. “What happens next will depend upon the outcome of the school district’s in-
vestigation and their response to the records request. But if anything involving a potential breach of student privacy comes to light, the school district will need to take steps such as holding public forums and offering individual counseling. And that should happen as soon as possible. There are more important interests at stake than employer/employee confidentiality.�
RECORDS CONTINUED FROM 1A
rights should countervail any other interest favoring confidentiality of records.� On Friday school board attorney James Price confirmed Burcham’s termination as of last Wednesday. Burcham’s dismissal followed the announcement at the school board meeting on Feb. 11 of the principal’s suspension with pay for the course of an investigation. Price refused to discuss the origin of the complaint that led to the investigation — or any other details. The Alcorn County School District’s silence on the matter has raised concerns throughout the community. Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith sent a letter home to parents on Monday stating she is not aware children’s privacy at any time was invaded in the locker rooms or in the restrooms and that “employer and employee confidentiality� prevents the school district from releasing more information. Wallace said the parents’ most pressing concerns are unrelated or only incidentally related to the former principal’s personnel records. “Hypothetically, for instance, and this is sil-

Dance said the investigation revealed that Hill was apparently retaliating for an earlier assault on himself. About an hour to 90 minutes earlier, he was involved in an altercation on Meigg Street in which he was injured. Hill was looking for the assailant when he stopped his vehicle alongside the vehicle driven by Stovall at Proper and Young and opened fire with a .40 caliber handgun. Dance said it appears Hill believed the assailant was in the vehicle with Stovall. After the shooting, Stovall briefly drove fur-

Police are seeking the subject who made the earlier assault on Hill for questioning. Stovall “was in pretty bad shape,� said Dance. “The Magnolia ER did a terrific job of working on this guy and saving his life.� Detectives Fred Serio and Dell Green are also working the case with Dance. Police are also seeking Francisco Elizalde, a Hispanic male, and a second suspect whose name was not available in connection with the Saturday non-fatal shooting of Jesus Perez at a residence on Norwood Drive.

Corinth, Miss.
Mullins has helped boost state education JACKSON — Over the past three decades in Mississippi, few people have matched Andy Mullins’ expertise in education policies and practices. Mullins, 65, will retire June 30 from most of his responsibilities at the University of Mississippi, where he’s chief of staff to the chancellor, associate professor of education and liaison to the Legislature. He will continue working part-time with the Mississippi Teacher Corps, which trains college graduates to work as educators in some Emily of the most impoverished Wagster school districts in one of the Pettus impoverished states in the nation. Capitol Dome Mullins was one of the “Boys of Spring,” the young staffers who helped Democratic Gov. William Winter persuade recalcitrant lawmakers to pass the Education Reform Act of 1982. (The pejorative nickname was tagged on the group by a longtime senator who had little love for them. They embraced it.) The Education Reform Act had 17 programs or studies, including the requirement for public schools to offer kindergarten. There’s still no mandate for 5-year-olds to attend kindergarten, only for schools to offer it. Educating little children might not sound subversive now, but Mullins said: “Kindergarten was a threat to the hegemony of the old ruling elite of the Delta.” Delta lawmakers held top posts in the 1982 Legislature, and they came from the white gentry in a largely agricultural region with a significant black population. The U.S. Supreme Court ordered an end to racially segregated public schools in its 1954 ruling on a Kansas case, Brown vs. Board of Education. However, it was the early 1970s before Mississippi schools finally made serious efforts to integrate. The Education Reform Act, a dozen years later, was considered by many lawmakers who’d been in office when segregation was the norm. After Winter left office, Mullins worked for one other governor (Democrat Bill Allain, who served from 1984 to 1988, following Winter), three state superintendents of education and three Ole Miss chancellors. Mullins completed a doctorate in higher education administration in 1992 and is codirector of the Teacher Corps. Along with Tom Burnham, a former state superintendent of education, he co-founded the Mississippi Principal Corps, which teaches leadership and management skills. Mullins was the point person in bringing a 2008 presidential debate to Ole Miss. He has been involved in William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation and the Lott Leadership Institute, both on the Oxford campus. He also has worked with the privately funded Barksdale Reading Institute, which focuses on improving youngsters’ literacy skills. In an interview this past week, Mullins told The Associated Press that the Principal Corps was founded in response to a chronic complaint he heard from Teacher Corps participants, about working with “poorly trained, overworked, stressed-out principals.” Teacher Corps participants have expressed two other chronic frustrations over the years, he said. One is about the wide range of reading levels in any given classroom: Some high school students might be ready to do collegelevel work, while others might not be able to read at fifth grade level. The other is about the “crab-in-the-bucket effect” of middle school and high school students who try to prevent academically talented peers from advancing, by making fun of the smart kids or even shunning them. “If you’ve seen crabs in a bucket — if one tries to get out, the others pull it back,” Mullins said. “It’s very depressing.” Mullins said he uses his behind-the-scenes experience in politics as he teaches future educators. They, too, must know how to give and take. “Gov. Winter taught me a valuable lesson,” Mullins said. “You don’t burn bridges. The guy who votes against you today may vote with you tomorrow.... You learn to compromise. Compromise is how you get things done.”

Democrats fear GOP’s Hispanic double threat Just as Lenin’s body remains on public display in Russia, because one never knows when he might be useful to rally the masses, so, too, does the ghost (but thankfully not the body) of the late Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.) remain a useful symbol for Democrats in Washington. Senators Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) are the latest to summon McCarthy’s ghost. After Sen. Ted Cruz, (R-Texas), asked defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel whether he had been compensated by foreign interests hostile to the United States for speeches he made in which he seemed to favor their aspirations, Boxer said of Cruz’s tenacious questioning, “It was really reminiscent of a different time and place, when you said, ‘I have here in my pocket a speech you made on such and such a date,’ and of course nothing was in the pocket. It was reminiscent of some bad times.” McCarthy said “hand,” not “pocket,” but why quibble? That Democrats over the years have filibustered and smeared some people nominated by Republican presi-
dents as “out of the mainstream,” or “extremists” (remember Robert Bork?) does Cal not register Thomas on the media hypocrisy Columnist meter, but hypocrisy is sometimes bipartisan, so let’s move on to a more important topic. Why do Democrats fear the double threats of Ted Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.)? A day after the State of the Union address, CNN ran a chyron that questioned whether Rubio’s reach for a bottle of water during his pointed response to President Obama’s speech might have been a “careerender.” Democrats wish. After becoming the first Hispanic to win a Senate seat in Texas, Cruz told CBS News, “I think the values in the Hispanic community are fundamentally conservative, but you’ve got to have candidates that connect with that community in a real and genuine way and communicate that the values between the candidate and the community are one and the same.”
This is what Cruz and Rubio are doing. They don’t use their heritage as a wedge to divide; rather they are using it as an avenue for communicating ideas to those who share that heritage -- and to a wider audience -- in ways that can improve everyone’s life. Cruz talks about “opportunity conservatism,” a phrase that contrasts with some Democrats’ apparent belief that the federal government should reign supreme. Cruz and Rubio are dangerous to statists because they speak of things that ignited the Reagan revolution, including the belief that the power to improve your life is in you, not in Washington. If those who have placed their faith and trust (and votes) in President Obama and the cult of big government awaken to the idea that only they have the power to change their circumstances, they won’t need politicians. Such an awakening will not bode well for Democrats whose political careers are often about bigger and more encroaching government and penalizing the successful with ever-higher taxes and burdensome government
regulations. Democrats aren’t likely to sit still and allow Cruz and Rubio’s ideas to reach not only Hispanics, but the rest of America. Their ideas are more powerful than the weapons used by Democrats in their race and class warfare where people are seen not as individuals, but as voting blocs. That is why much of the media seems to focus on trivialities, rather than on what Rubio and Cruz are saying. Some conservatives like to summon the ghost of Franklin Roosevelt whose programs could be said to have sparked the modern entitlement mentality. For liberals, it’s McCarthy. Both should be returned to the history books and removed from contemporary political debate. With McCarthy, it probably won’t happen because Cruz and Rubio threaten to damage the Democrats’ base, and they can’t have that. For some Democrats it’s more about political power and reliance on dysfunctional government, than about ideas that work.

The words are full of easy-loving and harddrinking. It’s standard country fare, K.T. Oslin meets Gretchen Wilson. But it’s wise not to confuse Yvette’s original songs with Yvette the person. If you only read the resume, you might expect to meet a dilettante. Except Yvette isn’t dabbling, she’s conquering worlds, sometimes two or three a day. A teacher, single mom, author and classically trained pianist who somewhat by chance ended up playing bass guitar with several famous Cajun bands, these days Yvette has turned her dead-eye sights on country. A mutual friend introduced me to the music. It is industrial-strength, my brand. Later, when Yvette invited me to her grandparents’ house that she renovated for an amazing craw-

fish breakfast she cooked, I thought of another singer, Patti Austin, who brags in Rheta song: I can Johnson cook, too, as well as the Columnist rest.... Yvette’s newest country CD is “No Man’s Land,” the aptly named album from a female’s perspective, a hardbitten female who has about had it with men. “I’d Love to Lay You Down,” for instance, talks of laying her man down in “a house with no windows, about six feet under the ground sounds good to me.” That kind of thing. Again, the cynical songs sound nothing like the cheerful former beauty queen dishing up etouffee and explaining herself in a modest, funny way. From a family of musicians, she played piano and woodwinds through high school but preferred sports. After school, she abandoned music.
Years later, when her father had brain cancer and she stayed with him a lot, the athletic Yvette had to find a substitute for the competitive volleyball that had been an outlet for her energy. She bought a bass guitar. It was off to the races. She’s spent years playing with the best Cajun bands: Lafayette Rhythm Devils, Balfa Toujours and the allfemale group Bonsoir, Catin. What’s new, at least only three years old, is the songwriting part of the equation. That, even for enthusiastic Yvette, once seemed formidable. And then at a songwriting course she took in her “spare time,” an instructor unlocked the secret: “All you’ve got to do is just pay attention.” While camping, she started thinking about how today’s children didn’t stay and play in the woods. She put her thoughts down on paper, picked up her acoustic guitar and “Where Memories Are Gold” became her first original song and wound up on her first solo album, “Should Have

Known.” That album sent her to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and created national buzz. “The songs just come, I don’t know from where,” she says. “The other day I was cooking, and I had to stop and grab my guitar. I ended up with a song and burnt meat.” That supper was a rare failure. Her new children’s book, “The Ghost Tree,” already is selling well, and Yvette somehow juggles a solo career, her Cajun bands, mothering her teenaged drummer son Trevor and teaching. She even teaches university courses in songwriting and signing for the deaf. “My grandmother used to tell me I had to slow down, make choices,” she says. “I never could.” Some hope she never does.

Little urgency to avoid spending cuts WASHINGTON — Ten days before a new deadline for broad, automatic government spending cuts, the sense of urgency that surrounded other recent fiscal crises is absent. Government agencies are preparing to absorb an $85 billion hit to their budgets, and politicians, at least for now, seem willing to accept the consequences. President Barack Obama, back from a Florida golfing weekend, warned Tuesday that “people will lose their jobs� if Congress doesn’t act. But lawmakers weren’t in session to hear his appeal, and they aren’t coming back to work until next week. Still dividing the two sides are sharp differences over whether tax increases, which Obama wants and Republicans oppose, should be part of a budget deal. Obama cautioned that if the immediate spending cuts — known as sequestration — occur, the full range of government will feel the effects. Among those he listed: furloughed FBI agents, reductions in spending for communities to pay police, firefighters and teachers, and decreased ability to respond to threats around the world. Aides say Obama is ready to take his case more directly to the public in an effort to pressure Republicans, either by traveling to vulnerable states or, as the White House often does, through local media interviews. They say neither Obama nor White House officials are now engaged in direct negotiations with Republican leaders. “So far at least, the ideas that the Republicans have proposed ask nothing of the wealthiest Americans or the biggest corporations,� Obama said. “So the burden is all on the first responders, or seniors or middle class families.�

The spending cuts, however, aren’t perceived to be as calamitous as the threatened results of recent fights over the nation’s borrowing authority and the “fiscal cliffâ€? that would have cut spending and increased tax rates on all Americans paying income taxes. Failure to raise the debt ceiling would have left the government with no money to spend on myriad programs and could have precipitated an unprecedented default. The fiscal cliff had the potential of setting back the economic recovery. Â
Allen retirement opens command slot WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is looking for a new candidate to lead American and allied forces in Europe after his first choice, Marine Gen. John Allen, bowed out Tuesday and announced his intention to retire for what he called personal reasons. The move further clouds the picture for Obama as he repositions key figures on his national security team and in key military leadership roles. The White House is fighting for Senate confirmation of Chuck Hagel as defense secretary; a confirmation vote was stalled last week by Republicans but is expected to happen next week. Obama also is switching commanders at Central Command, which is responsible for U.S. military operations throughout the greater Middle East, and Africa Command. After meeting with Allen at the White House, the president issued a brief statement praising Allen’s service. He called the 57-year-old Allen “one of America’s finest military leaders, a true patriot, and a man I have come to respect greatly.� Allen appeared to be a shoo-in as the next top commander of allied forces in Europe. Obama nominated him last Oct. 10, but in November

Consultant to redo Natchez city code NATCHEZ — The city of Natchez has hired a consultant to help officials rewrite the local guidelines for building codes, new construction, signage and the various zoned districts in the city. Former city planner Phil Walker of the Walker Collaborative, a consulting firm in Nashville, Tenn., tells the Natchez Democrat that he’ll meet with a local steering committee. The committee is comprised of private businesspeople, tradesmen, historic preservationists and others. Mayor Butch Brown says the city wants a code that is more userfriendly for developers, builders, designers, property owners and others. A presentation of the project for the public is scheduled for Wednesday at City Hall. Walker says after the meetings he’ll write a report that looks at the major sections of the code and what areas could be improved. Â
Winfield wants documents hidden VICKSBURG — Attorneys for Vicksburg Mayor Paul Winfield have asked a judge to seal some court documents in Kenya Burks’ sexual harassment lawsuit. Winfield is also asking a federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit. Specifically, the Vicksburg Post reports that Winfield wants sealed documents in which Burks lists 15 names of people she says have information about her alleged affair with the mayor.
Burks is suing Winfield and the city for more than $1.5 million. She has claimed she was subjected to a hostile work environment and retaliation after what she says was a consensual affair soured. Winfield has denied claims of sexual relations. Burks held her job title from July 2009 to April 2011. A trial is scheduled Feb. 10, 2014, before U.S. District Judge David C. Bramlette. Â

Prosecutors say when Thornton was arrested his blood alcohol level registered 0.185, well above the legal limit of 0.08 percent.

They have also called on lawmakers to strengthen the penalties for various violent crimes and require those convicted to stay in prison longer. Â

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta stunned many by announcing that Allen was being investigated for potentially inappropriate email exchanges with a Florida socialite, Jill Kelley. Panetta put Allen’s nomination on hold. Last month, shortly before Allen completed a 19-month tour as the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, the Pentagon announced that Allen had been cleared of any wrongdoing and the White House said it was prepared to re-nominate him for the Europe job. Even so, it was not clear that Allen would choose to go ahead with a Senate confirmation hearing, given the nature of the email probe. An Iraq war veteran with a reputation as an astute strategist, Allen took over in Kabul in July 2011, succeeding Gen. David Petraeus, who quit to become CIA director. Allen relinquished command Feb. 10 to a fellow Marine general, Joseph Dunford. Allen said retiring from the military was “the only choice I could make.� Although he did not explain his reasons in detail, he said “my primary concern is for the health of my wife, who had sacrificed so much for so long.� He served 38 years in the Marine Corps. In retiring, Allen passed up Obama’s offer to promote him to the Europe job, which is one of the more prestigious jobs in the military. It carries the dual responsibilities of commanding NATO troops from allied headquarters in Belgium and heading the U.S. European Command, a separate organization based in Germany. The U.S. has about 80,000 troops based in Europe.

House panel seeks over $184 million JACKSON — House committee members want the state to borrow more than $184 million, mainly for new buildings at Mississippi’s community colleges and public universities. However, it remains unclear what Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves will agree to. In 2012, the House and Senate couldn’t agree how much to borrow, and the state authorized no new borrowing for the first time

release date as Aug. 20. The Federal Bureau of Prisons doesn’t comment on transfers until they have taken place. Minor, 66, was a decorated Vietnam veteran who built a small law firm on the Mississippi Gulf Coast into one with a national reputation and made millions of dollars in tobacco, asbestos, medical-malpractice and car-safety lawsuits. He was convicted on corruption charges in 2007 along with former Harrison County judges Wes Teel and John Whitfield. Minor was convicted on charges ranging from racketeering to bribery and Teel and Whitfield were convicted of mail fraud and bribery. However, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals later threw out the bribery convictions and the men were resentenced in June 2011. Minor, who was serving the longest sentence, was resentenced to eight years, down from 11. Teel has already been released from prison. Whitfield is in a halfway house in Montgomery, Ala., and scheduled for release in June, according to prison records.

Today
Spotlight on new homes In 2012, homebuilders broke ground on the most new homes and apartments in four years. But economists anticipate that homebuilders got off to a slower start last month than in December, when housing starts hit a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 954,000. That pace is nearly double the recession low reached in April 2009. The Commerce Department is expected to report today that housing starts in January declined to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 910,000.

Winning mental edge can lead to success Successful people have a winning mental edge that helps them overcome failure, solve problems, and reach their goals. We can learn from their examples and then apply the same winning mental edge to our own lives. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of people achieve success. The only difference Bryan between those who Golden are sucDare to Live cessful Without Limits and others is the way they think. The Hartford Insurance company conducted a survey of 100 new college graduates in the early 1950s. The college graduates
were asked one question, “Will you achieve your financial goals within your working lives -- within 40 years?� Every one of them answered yes. After 40 years went by, in the early 1990s, the Hartford went back to determined what had happened to the 100 graduates. Here are the results: One of them was wealthy, four were financially secure, six were still working, 35 had died, and 54 were broke. Only five out of 100 had achieved their goals of 40 years ago. Although not everyone measures success financially, this study demonstrates that only a minority of people actually accomplish what they set out to do. It’s a winning mental edge that makes the difference between success and failure. In 1983 Tami
Oldham and her boyfriend were 19 days into a 30-day trip from Tahiti to San Diego in a 44-foot sailboat. They were hit with a category 4 hurricane that capsized the boat and washed her boyfriend overboard. Inside the boat, Tami was knocked unconscious for 27 hours. The boat had righted itself, but the mast had snapped. She fought the desire to give up, set up a makeshift mast and sail, rationed her supplies, and sailed 1,500 miles to Hawaii over 40 days. Here are some stories of other successful people. See if you can figure out who they are. This person had a bit of a rough start. A newspaper editor fired him because “he lacked imag-
ination and had no good ideas.� Following that, he started a number of unsuccessful businesses that didn't last too long, ending in bankruptcy and failure. However, he kept plugging along, and eventually found a recipe for success that worked. Walt Disney. This fellow was a poor learner. He was 4 years old before learning to speak. He could not read until he was 7, causing his teachers and parents to think he was mentally handicapped, slow, and even anti-social. As he got older, he was expelled from school and was refused admittance to a polytechnic school. Although it took him longer than normal, he did catch on in the end. Albert Einstein. He was another slow
learner. As a child, he never did particularly well in school. Later, he was put in charge of running the family farm. But he failed miserably, so poorly in fact that his uncle sent him off to college where he finally did well. Isaac Newton. His teachers thought he was “too stupid to learn anything.� He attended public schools for only about three months. A teacher told his mother that he was confused and couldn't learn. He fared no better at work. He was fired from his first two jobs for not being productive enough. He failed numerous times at many things he attempted. Thomas Edison. The manager of the Grand Ole Opry fired him after just one perfor-
mance telling him, “You ain't goin' nowhere, son. You ought to go back to drivin' a truck.� Elvis Presley. The formula for a winning mental edge is simple. Your attitude determines your actions, which lead to results, which determine success. Also, add in determination and persistence. Incorporate this formula into your life and you too will have a winning mental edge.

Foundation works on blight-free chestnut tree Associated Press
VERONA — North Mississippi Research and Extension Center forestry specialist John Kushla says he’s excited to be documenting four crossbred chestnut tree seeds donated by master gardener Reginald Rose. American chestnut trees were once common in the northeast, but an airborne fungus that arrived in the early 1900s on Asian nursery stock had killed an estimated 3.5 billion by 1940. “I think this is kind of exciting,� Kushla told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. “I went through forestry school, but never got to see an actual chestnut tree. They were already gone. Occasionally we’d see a stump or the occasional sprout.� Now he will document what happens to the seeds, which cost Rose $75 each and were planted Feb. 8 at the center in Verona. Rose is a member of the American Chestnut Foundation, which has been working since 1989 to cross Chinese-Amer-

ican hybrids resistant to the blight with American chestnuts. The idea was to produce a tree that was more American with each generation but still resistant to blight. “We had to tell them where we were going to plant them, we had to agree to take pictures every year and annually report the condition of the trees,� Rose said. “This is really a scientific experiment.� Kushla told Rose not to get his hopes too high. “He said to count on one seed for the birds, one will die and maybe the other two will make it,� Rose said. “But I’m hopeful. Every generation of seeds is a little bit better, a little more resistant to blight.� At 72, Rose said he knows he won’t be around to see the trees get very big, if they grow at all. “I’ll never see them to fruition, but maybe my grandchildren will,� he said. “My youngest two grandchildren are 6 and 9. They are the ones who will enjoy seeing these trees.�

Boyfriend’s X-rated experience leaves girlfriend feeling blue DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Doug” (24), and I (22) have been in a long-distance relationship for a year, but we were friends for a couple of years before that. I had never had a serious relationship before and lacked experience. Doug has not only been in two other long-term relationships, but has had sex with more than 15 women. One of them is an amateur porn actress. I knew about this, but it didn’t bother me until recently. Doug had a party, and while he was drunk he told one of his buddies — in front of me — that he should watch a certain porn film starring his ex-girlfriend. It made me feel awkward. The next day he apologized. Of course, having learned her name, I couldn’t help myself from searching for her on the Internet. Now I can’t stop comparing myself to her, and I feel intimidated and frustrated. I have been struggling with how to get over it. Doug has told me many times that he loves me and I believe him. But those stupid, drunken comments really knocked me down. How do I get over my boyfriend’s past? — ECLIPSED BY A “STAR” IN NEW YORK DEAR ECLIPSED: A giant step in the right direction would be to quit comparing yourself to a porn actress. In his
addled condition, your immature boyfriend couldn’t resist bragging to his buddies Abigail because he Van Buren thought it would impress them Dear Abby with his prowess. If he had serious feelings about her, he would still be with her, not in a relationship with you. That said, it would be in your best interest to find out if this woman really was a “girlfriend” or one of his one-night stands. If he is in a long-distance relationship with you and tends to be promiscuous, you should be more concerned about his judgment than how to get over his past. DEAR ABBY: We have always purchased rather than leased our cars. One of them has 225,000 miles on the odometer and is running well. I have two friends who lease expensive foreign cars. Keeping the mileage down on their cars is important to them, especially when it comes time to return them at the end of the lease. Because of this, I find myself driving more often than I should. One friend attends a
weekly meeting with me, and we’re supposed to take turns driving each other every other week. But somehow I end up at the wheel more often. I’d hate to start writing down our outings, but I’m beginning to feel used. While I respect their decision to lease expensive new cars, it is not my responsibility to keep their expenses down. Both of these women are in a better financial position than I am, although we are all “comfortable.” Any ideas about how to approach this without seeming petty? It has been going on for a long while and is starting to bother me. — DRIVEN TOO FAR IN LONG BEACH, CALIF. DEAR DRIVEN TOO FAR: If you feel that you are being taken advantage of, then you probably are. I recommend you wean these ladies off your chauffeur services by being less available when they need a ride. And if you are asked why, remind them of your original agreement to share the driving duties 50-50. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)
Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). The “you and me against the world” mentality is not going to get you very far. If you feel that the current is against you, it might be time to turn around and go with the flow. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your inclination is to persist. Since it’s in your very nature to keep going until the job is finished, you must take care to make sure the job you take on is worth doing in the first place. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Good fortune comes your way. Don’t be too quick to share. This bounty is for you. Accepting your fair share now will allow you to be much more generous later when you can really afford it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll return to an old pattern. There’s the possibility of getting back together with an ex or coming back to a job you held in the past. You’ll pick up right where you left off.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Deals come together. You’ll be in a position to name your price. Start in the middle instead of starting high. You could get more than what’s absolutely fair, but it won’t benefit you in the long run. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Secrecy among the higher ranks is not usually a good sign. Open communication is healthier. Much good can come from well-informed teams working together. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just because ideas are crazy doesn’t mean they are false or won’t work. Things have been greatly improved by crazy ideas before, and the next one just might come from you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Playfulness is more interesting than drama. Taking creative endeavors too seriously drains them of their vital essence. You’ll develop your talents with a light heart. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). There’s power inside your vocal cords. Slow, deliberate, confident speech will cinch a deal. A few words are enough to convey your strength; whereas, over-talking would indicate weakness. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be patient. It makes no sense to continue doing what’s not working. Instead of waiting for results that aren’t coming, change your action and go for different results. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re back to becoming a student of your surroundings. Your environment is what it is. Instead of trying to manipulate it, you try to know it. With understanding comes power. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A failed experiment has more to teach you than a successful one. Review what happened, and identify the contributing factors. Knowing what doesn’t work brings you to what does.

Pole vault In historic first, Danica leaps to next level
F
or the first three days of Speedweeks at Daytona, all the buzz was about Danica Patrick and what she was doing off-track, specifically her romance with fellow Sprint Cup rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr. But after Sunday’s pole qualifying for the 55th annual Daytona 500, the talk shifted to Patrick’s activities on the track. She made NASCAR history by turning a lap at 196.434 miles per hour to win the pole for the 500. She became the first woman to win the pole for a race in the series now known as Sprint Cup. And she became the first driver since Jimmie Johnson in 2002 to win the pole for the sport’s most prestigious race in their rookie season. Patrick broke the qualifying record for females held by Janet Guthrie, who qualified ninth at Bristol and Talladega in 1977. She will start the 500 alongside outside polesitter Jeff Gordon, and the remainder of the starting lineup will be determined after Thursday’s Budweiser Duels. Like many a Daytona pole winner before her, Patrick gave much of the credit to her crew, led by veteran crew chief and Daytona Beach resident Tony Gibson. “I appreciate the recognition, but it really falls, as I think I said before I went out on the track, 90 percent on Tony [Gibson] and his guys, everybody that gives me the car to go out there and be fast, and maybe 10 percent on me,” Patrick said. “All I have to do is think about going out there, being smooth, not letting the car bind up, running on that yellow line. “Outside of that, I think it shows how wellprepared Tony and everybody was, how strong the Hendrick engines are, how good the new Chevy SS is. We’ve been fast since practice in January.” Gibson said Patrick, who will start on the pole for the first Budweiser Duel qualifying race on Thursday and on the pole for the Daytona 500 no matter where she finishes in the Duel, understated her contribution to the final result. “It’s more than 10 percent because you can

(NASCAR photos) put a good product out there, but if you don’t have the person to drive it, put everything else together, it can really damage your day,” he said. “We just gave her a product that was really good and she took it the rest of the way. It’s more than 10 percent, I promise you. It’s 50/50.” Gibson also pointed out that Patrick had a lot on the line, not just because of her gender but because of her lack of a guaranteed starting spot for the 500. “I’m proud of her,” he said. “I know there was a lot of pressure on her to come here and qualify well, in the top six, to lock us in. I’m proud of her to carry that weight on her shoulders. She didn’t falter. She did everything right. She hit her marks, hit her marks on the shifts, and here we are.” Patrick, who also made history for women by leading laps in the Indianapolis 500 and by winning an Indy car race in Japan, attributed her recordbreaking racing career in large part to fast cars, to her upbringing and to her ability to perform at a high level while under the glare of the spotlight that comes with being a high-profile female performer in a mostly male sport. “First and foremost, I grew up with good values and good goals,” she said. “I was brought up to be the fastest driver, not the fastest girl. That was instilled in me from very young, from the beginning. “Then I feel like thriving in those moments where the pressure’s on, has also been a help for me. I also feel like I’ve been lucky in my career to be with good teams and have good people around me. I don’t think any of it would have been possible without that. “For those reasons, I’ve been lucky enough to make history, be the first woman to do many things. I really just hope that I don’t stop doing that. We have a lot more history to make. We are excited to do it.”
NOTEBOOK
If it walks like a duck, it can win In recent years, being a lame duck in NASCAR hasn’t been the performance killer many assume it might be. Several soon-to-be-splitting drivers and race teams have had strong runs of late. In 2011, after being dismissed from his job as Tony Stewart’s crew chief, Darian Grubb led Stewart to five Chase wins and the championship. Last year, in his final year at Roush Fenway Racing before moving to Joe Gibbs Racing, Matt Kenseth won two Chase races. This past Saturday night, Kevin Harvick, starting his final year at Richard Childress Racing before moving to Stewart-Haas Racing, won the Sprint Unlimited. It was his third win in the past five of the non-points Sprint Cup season openers. “I don’t think it’s been that big of a deal,” Harvick said of his lame-duck status during his winner’s interview. “Kenseth did a great job with his situation [last year].” Harvick said that he still wants to win even though he’s leaving, and the people on his team that are staying put feel the same way. “The atmosphere is great, honestly,” he said. “Everybody is just working toward the same goal – that’s winning the races. We have to be professional anyway, whether it’s lame duck or not. You can call it whatever you want, we’re going to have a [whole] lot of fun racing, having a good time, doing our jobs ... “We’re all here to do a job, and we have a responsibility to the people that are spending millions of dollars on the side of that car to do it as best we can.” Harvick’s crew chief Gil Martin said he feels the same way. “This [sport] is too hard to be miserable,” he said. “It’s too hard of work not to come out and try to win. That’s not in [Harvick’s] nature. That’s not in our team’s nature to try not to win. “Anybody that thinks just because of what the situation is that anybody’s going to lay down, they’re sadly mistaken, because we’re going to try to win this championship … We’re going to do whatever it takes to win it. That’s pretty well the bottom line.” And Harvick, who has spent his entire Cup career in Childress’ No. 29 Chevrolet, said there are other reasons for wanting to succeed this year. “Pride also comes in there pretty good, too,” he said. “It’s fun to prove people wrong.”
Townley: Truck win ‘priceless’ Camping World Truck Series driver John Wes Townley, who was criticized earlier in his career for wrecking too many race cars, made all the right moves in Saturday’s Lucas Oil 200 ARCA race at Daytona International Speedway. Townley, driving a Toyota for Venturini Motorsports, started from the pole, then held off all challengers to get his first major racing victory and Venturini’s first at Daytona. His previous best finish was a third place at Daytona in 2010. “Personally, this is priceless,” Townley said. “I almost wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world except my family. It’s a real honor to win at Daytona.” Kyle Larson, who plans a full Nationwide Series campaign this year, finished second. Martinsville Speedway track president Clay Campbell was 14th, and former Sprint Cup driver James Hylton, now 78, finished 26th in his final run at Daytona. He’s set to retire at the end of the season after 50 years of racing in NASCAR and ARCA.
After Car of Tomorrow, Gen-6 heads back to the future NUMERICALLY The Sprint Unlimited and its 19 participants offered the first clues to how the new Generation 6 race car will perform during this week’s Daytona 500, and the early indications are that the race will play out much like those of seven or eight years ago, before the introduction of the Car of Tomorrow. “It’s going to be a pack [of cars], absolutely,” said Unlimited winner Kevin Harvick, who beat Greg Biffle and Joey Logano to the finish line as the two challengers both recorded career-best Unlimited finishes. “I don’t think there’s going to be too many chances. You’ll see some cars break away. I think if you turn on a 2000 race, one of those races, it’s going to be very similar … [and] you’re going to have a lot more advancing of positions when you get so many cars out there.” Unlimited runner-up Greg Biffle predicted that drivers will be able to move up in the middle groove, a tactic the late Dale Earnhardt used with great success back in the day. “There’s going to be a middle,” he said. “I went up the middle a few times. Some guys tried it and made it work. The middle actually worked OK for me.” The Gen-6 car has a shorter rear spoiler than the CoT, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. said he noticed the difference in the Unlimited. “With this little spoiler on the back, it’s really easy to lose the draft because the air gets to your nose pretty quick,” he said. “The distance of the draft isn’t as far back as it used to be off the car in front of you, so you can lose it pretty easily. You have to be real careful. Me and the No. 99 [Carl
Dale Earnhardt Jr. drives of the No. 88 Chevrolet on Saturday during practice for this Sunday’s Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway. (NASCAR photo) Edwards] both lost it right there at the end of the second segment [of the Unlimited].” Handling was a non-issue in the Unlimited as chilly, nighttime temperatures made for good grip for race cars, but Denny Hamlin predicts that won’t be the case on Sunday in the Daytona 500. “I think if we get any kind of sunny 70 degree day or so at the [Daytona] 500, handling will be an issue just halfway through a fuel run,” he said. With complete race cars and key components of them being in short supply due to the switch to a new car, there was relatively little risk-taking dur-
ing the practices leading up to the Unlimited, as teams didn’t want to overburden fabricators already swamped trying to get fleets of cars prepared for the upcoming season. “You’re just so short on cars, you didn’t want to take any chances,” Harvick said. But once the green flag dropped for the Unlimited, it was time to try some moves with the new car. “You knew if you tore that car up, you didn’t need it anymore,” he said. One team that was in a fix for race cars was the No. 78 team of driver Kurt Busch. He wrecked one in practice and another in the Unlimited. Richard Childress, whose shops build cars for the No. 78 team, said late Saturday that his crew would work overtime to get Busch the equipment he needs for the Daytona 500. “We’re going to help them in any way we can,” he said. “We’ll probably have one of those cars back [Sunday], repaired.” Changes to the interiors of the Gen-6 cars were a factor in a couple of incidents early in Speedweeks. Matt Kenseth said that was a factor in a crash he caused during practice for the Unlimited. Kevin Harvick said the locations of the mirrors is one of the issues. “The first five or six times I looked for the mirror, it was in a different spot, and I didn’t see it because it wasn’t there,” he said. “I heard Matt [Kenseth] talking about it. Both wrecks have happened because of that left-side mirror, things being different compared to what they were in the past.”

Warriors roll into quarters BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Corinth found itself in two early three-point deficits, then the recent trends continued. The Warriors rebounded for an 11-point just before the break, then closed the third quarter on a 20-0 run in dispatching of Caledonia 75-46 in the opening round of the boys’ Class 4A North Half Tournament on Tuesday. Corinth (24-6) earned the host roll for the final three rounds of the State Tournament qualifier with its 18th consecutive home win. The Warriors will face New Al-
bany at 4 p.m. on Thursday in another elimination. Other Thursday games include Noxubee Co.-Lafayette Co., Rosa Fort-Shannon and defending state champion Amanda Elzy and Houston. Corinth scored eight straight, including a Desmin Harris dunk, to erase Caledonia’s early 6-3 lead. Raheem Sorrell scored seven of his eight first-quarter points as the Warriors took a 19-13 lead after one. Caleb Brown kept Caledonia in the game in the first half. The sharp-shooter scored 13 points in the second to help offset a 26-point quar-
ter by the host club. Corinth took a 45-32 lead into the break, with Brown accounting for 19 of his teams points. The Warriors fourheaded frontcourt monster of Kendrick Williams (9), Sorrell (6), Terrel Payton (4) and Antares Gwyn (2) combined for 21 of Corinth’s 26 secondquarter points. Caledonia cut one point off the halftime deficit before Corinth exploded for 20 unanswered points the final five-plus minutes of the third. Corinth forced 11 turnovers -10 of them steals -- in blowing the game open. The 20-0 run, which in-
cluded six each by Jose Contreras and Jazz Garner, made it a 69-37 game after three complete. Corinth missed its first eight shots of the fourth and turned the ball over three times in the same span. The Warriors didn’t score until the 2:46 mark of the fourth on an and-one by Williams, but still maintained a 32-point lead at that point. Tyler Armstead got a friendly roll at the buzzer to provided Caledonia with its final points. While it had no impact on the outcome, it Please see WARRIORS | 13A

Lions hit 100 in tourney opener BY DONICA PHIFER dphifer@dailycorinthian.com
BIGGERSVILLE -— The last home game for the Biggersville Lions ended in another win, a 105-44 thrashing of the Vardaman Rams. The triple digit score marks the fourth occasion in the 2012-2013 season where Biggersville has accomplished such a feat. The Lions fell into a 7-0 slump to open the game, Tyran Davis posting the first basket of the night for the home team following a string of steals from the Vardaman starting five. Shaun Watson tied the game up at 7 before Emmanuel Simmons nailed one in the paint to give the Lions their first lead at 11-9. Daniel Simmons also contributed to the lead, earning back to back steals from the Vardaman offense as the first quarter closed with a 22-12 score. A game high 36 points fell for BHS in the second quarter, Jaylon Gaines leading the charge with 12 points en route to a 58-22 half-time score. The third quarter saw more of the same, a 26-point third quarter

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Laurence Bowers had 17 points plus 10 rebounds and Missouri erased a 13-point deficit in the second half to rally past No. 5 Florida 63-60 on Tuesday night. Phil Pressey added 10 assists, seven points, six rebounds and three steals for Missouri (19-7, 8-5 SEC). The Tigers didn’t have Bowers a month ago in a 31-point blowout loss at Florida. Mike Rosario had 14 points for Florida (21-4, 11-2) but missed a 3-point try at the buzzer. The Gators had won 13 of 14 and led 49-36 with 10:51 left, then hurt themselves at the foul line. Florida missed five straight free throws in the second half, three times on the front end of one-and-ones. The Gators made six of 12 foul shots overall, while Missouri was 12 of 15. The Tigers improved to 15-0 at home this season.

STARKVILLE — Coach Rick Ray’s first season at Mississippi State keeps getting worse. Not only are the Bulldogs mired in a 10-game losing streak that’s lasted more than a month, but Ray suspended sophomore forward Roquez Johnson indefinitely on Monday for breaking team rules. That leaves just five scholarship players and two walkons remaining as Mississippi State (7-17, 2-10 Southeastern Conference) prepares to face Alabama (17-8, 9-3) on Wednesday. It’s the latest setback in a season full of suspensions, injuries and just plain bad basketball. The Bulldogs have
the time to their game-high 19 points and a 39-35 lead. The Tigers bounced back, tying up the game at 42 in the fourth quarter on a shot from leading scorer Xavier Appleberry. Central saw one last opportunity to overtake Ruleville, John Works coming up with a lay-up to cut the Tigers lead 48-47. Ruleville advanced quickly, posting a 9-4 run in the final three minutes, four being from the foul line. Appleberry led over both teams with 16 points, while

Mississippi State’s dreadful season continues Associated Press
Victor Oladipo’s go-ahead putback, dunk and free throws in the final minute lifted top-ranked Indiana to a 72-68 win over No. 4 Michigan State on Tuesday night. Indiana (24-3, 12-2 Big Ten) broke a first-place tie in the conference. The Hoosiers had lost 17 straight — since 1991 — on the road against the Spartans. The Spartans blew opportunities at the line. Trailing by three with 3.7 seconds left, Gary Harris was fouled on a 3-point attempt. He missed the first one and then after making the second, missed the third on purpose. Indiana got the rebound and Oladipo hit two free throws to seal the win.
Emmanuel Simmons goes for two during the Biggersville Lions’ first-round game of the Class 1A North Half Tournament on Tuesday. The Lions defeated Vardaman 10544 to advance to the second round, where they will play host team Ingomar at 4 p.m. Thursday.
seven games remaining, and if they lose them all, they’ll be the first team since the SEC started in the 1930s to lose 24 games in a season. That’s not the kind of record-setting Ray had in mind when he took the Mississippi State job last spring. But he’s made it clear he has certain rules on and off the court — and he’s not willing to budge just because it could cause a few more losses. “I think it is guys trying to get used to my expectations for them off the court,” Ray said. “We all know what the expectations are on the court but it’s them trying to figure out what they can get away with ... The answer is — nothing.”
Johnson’s suspension comes barely a week after junior guard Jalen Steele was suspended — also for breaking team rules. Ray hasn’t ruled out Steele’s return for the Alabama game, but the coach is fully prepared to go to Tuscaloosa with just seven players available, including three freshmen. The lack of experience and depth, even before the suspensions of Johnson and Steele, has crippled the Bulldogs. Ray dismissed guard Shaun Smith and forward Kristers Zeidaks before the season started because of breaking team rules and then season-ending injuries to Andre Applewhite and Jacoby Davis further depleted the
roster. And that was before the season even started. Mississippi State’s 10 straight losses have come by an average of 21.2 points per game. The Bulldogs are among the worst teams in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio and are shooting barely 40 percent from the field, including just 27.8 percent from 3-point range. But Ray says one of Mississippi State’s biggest issues isn’t a lack of talent. It’s a lack of leadership that isn’t going to come any time soon. “It’s too much to ask incoming guys like Colin Borchert, Trivante Bloodman and the Please see STATE | 13A

securing an 84-39 lead. For the second time in the season, senior Blake Stacy knocked in the 100-point basket for the Lions with just under 90 seconds of play left. At the foul line, Biggersville also dominated with an 11 of 17 or 64-percent while the Rams finished with 4 of 10 for 40-percent. Vardaman’s Dontae Walker led for the Rams at 16 points, followed by Quan Cummings with 13 to round out double digits. Daniel earned first among the Lions with 26 points, followed by Emmanuel at 16, Gaines at 15, and Slater Huggins with 13. Darian Barnett posted 11, while Blake Stacy rounded out those in double digits with 10 points. The Lions, who currently average 78.9 points per game, advance to the second round of the 1A North Half Tournament. Biggersville will travel to Ingomar on Thursday, February 21 for a 4 p.m. tip off against the Falcons, who are hosting the remainder of the tournament.

Native azaleas are easier to grow than many gardeners realize. Their blooms are colorful but small, so they are often overlooked.
Photos by MSU Extension Service/Gary Bachman
Piedmont or honeysuckle azalea are fragrant flowers primarily found in shades of pink and rose with white accents.
Native azaleas add charm, early color to gardens Many Mississippians are anticipating the first signs of the spring show put on in our landscapes by the popular, but nonnative Southern Indica azaleas. These shrubs hide behind their evergreen foliage, waiting to Gary dazzle us Bachman with color. S o m e Southern gardeners Gardening consider native azaleas hard to grow, so we don’t see these varieties as much in Mississippi landscapes. Several species of native azaleas thrive in the Southeast. They may not be as showy as their evergreen cousins, but native azaleas are stunning in their own right. All native azaleas are deciduous and are in the genus Rhododendron. The 15 species of native azaleas have bloom times from late March through
summer. There are two early-blooming azaleas native to Mississippi. Rhododendron canescens is commonly called piedmont azalea or honeysuckle azalea. Flowers are primarily shades of pink and rose with white accents. Driving across the Florida Panhandle this past weekend, I saw some great-looking honeysuckle azalea growing at a rest stop. As an added treat, these flowers are very fragrant and are pleasant on an early-morning garden stroll. Rhododendron austrinum or Florida flame azalea has a range of colors that includes yellow, orange and fiery red. What makes these early-blooming native azaleas really interesting is the sequence the flower buds go through before blooming. The first sign that something special is about to occur is when the flower buds swell from tight little clusters. These buds are a combination of flower and foliage, and
they swell until they appear about to burst. The flowers bloom on nearly naked stems. The flower buds on the outside of the cluster open first, followed by those in the middle. Flowers can be up to 11⁄2 inches across, but it is the stamens and pistils that add charm and interest. These structures extend out of the flower, giving it a delicate texture. Growing native azaleas in containers can cause problems if you decide later to transplant the azalea into the ground. The root system of these plants is very fine and delicate and can actually stick to the inside of the container. Removing the plant from the container can damage these fine roots and make replanting unsuccessful. Native azaleas grown in containers can be removed, but it must be done carefully. Before attempting to remove the plant, soak the entire container in a bucket of water. Once you have the
Florida flame azalea is another native azalea that comes in a range of colors from yellow to orange and fiery red. container off, never cut or slice the root system like we do many other landscape plants. The damage may be irreversible. When you have the plant out of the container, choose a landscape location that has filtered
sunlight. Native azaleas thrive along the edges of woodlands, so be sure to plant yours in this type of location. Planting natives in the correct places goes a long way toward ensuring you’ll have early-spring
flowering from the native azaleas in your garden or landscape. (Dr. Gary Bachman is an associate Extension research professor of horticulture at the Coastal Research and Extension Center in Biloxi.)
Sportsman Banquet on Saturday has events for entire family BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian
SELMER, Tenn. — The opportunity to help a great ministry and have a fun time with the family will bring people from all over the Crossroads area to the 2013 Sportsman Banquet. The event is set for Saturday at McNairy Central High School and the McNairy County Fairgrounds. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Lauren King Ministries and the Ronald McDonald House in Memphis. Anita and the late Larron King formed Lauren King Ministries 13 years ago to help the RMH. The ministry provides a meal once a month for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House. Admission will be $20, and children 6-and-under will be admitted free. The ticket will include an evening meal. “If Larron were here today, he would say ‘it’s not about the money … it’s about Jesus,’” said Steve King, one of the event organizers. “We need to get tickets into the hands of people who need to hear the gospel.” Chris Whitten, another event organizer, said there will be something for everyone in the family. There will be a skeet shoot with a shotgun for a prize and an archery shoot with a cash prize. The TWRA will provide deer scoring at 2 p.m. Linda Brewer, of Duk Dog Retrievers, will provide a demonstration with her labs for one hour beginning at 2 p.m.
There will be fun things for the children to enjoy like a rock climbing wall and all types of inflatables. Randy Parrish will do one of his amazing paintings and then the painting will be auctioned off. Robert Bradow of CrossHeirs Ministry will be the speaker to help close out the activities of the day. Bradow’s outreach ministry has touched many people over the years. Whitten said there will be 14 guns given away during the day. A couple more gifts will include a safe and a crossbow. For more information, call Whitten, 901-8260923, or King, 731-6102820. Information can also be found on Facebook. Advance tickets can be purchased at Top O’ the River in Michie; Emily’s House of Style, All-State Insurance, Henry Furniture, Floral Connections, T&T Gro. in Selmer; Ramer Station Restaurant, Lonnie’s in Corinth; B & B Outdoors in Henderson and AJ Sports, Main St. Salon in Adamsville and Awards in Bolivar.

Oscar-nomiated films are hits, too, for a change BY JAKE COYLE AP Entertainment Writer
NEW YORK — How accurate is “Zero Dark Thirty�? Is “Lincoln� an epic of historical recreation or a high school history lesson? What did you think of “Django Unchained�? Can we get Anne Hathaway something to eat, already? As a crop, this year’s nine best picture nominees has been one of the most talk-provoking, opEd-generating bunches in recent Oscar history. From “Argo� to “Life of Pi,� they’ve largely been popular at the box office, too. This year, the question “Have you seen ...?� has been a frequent one, and often the reply has been positive. The movies have been debated, criticized, mulled over and tweeted. Above all, they’ve been relevant.
That hasn’t always been the case, particularly in years where most bestpicture candidates — and this is no slight to their worthiness — have struggled to surpass $100 million at the domestic box office. Last year, of the nine nominees, only “The Help� managed to pass that threshold. This year, five have (“Argo,� “Les Miserables,� “Lincoln,� “Django� and “Life of Pi�) and two more are very close (“Zero Dark Thirty� and “Silver Linings Playbook�). Many of this year’s nominees have done particularly well overseas. Ang Lee’s “Life of Pi� has proved an international juggernaut, approaching $600 million worldwide. The most heartwarming story of this year’s Oscars isn’t necessarily the 9-year-old star of “Beasts of the Southern Wild,�
“I have great hope that the films this year that did all this business will spawn more adult films and more films that have thoughtful content.� Peter Guber Chairman, Mandalay Entertainment Quvenzhane Wallis. It could very well be the pervasive success of serious films for adults. Part of what makes this year’s class remarkable is that they aren’t obvious box-office draws. Westerns are supposed to be dated. Excessively detailed stories about congressional politics aren’t usually popcornmunching hits. Religiousminded films centered on an unknown young actor and a digital tiger adrift on a boat don’t typically steamroll like a superhero
blockbuster. “The movies worked,� Harvey Weinstein, cochairman of the Weinstein Co., which released “Silver Linings Playbook� and “Django Unchained,� said at a recent Producers Guild of America event. He called the best picture nominees “the best collection of movies we’ve had in 20 years� and claimed the studios have a new boldness to “just go for it.� That’s probably overstating the artistic drive of the studios, which are already on to releasing their typical mid-winter dreck ahead of their bloated summer franchise films. But the studios are also well represented at this year’s Oscars: Warner

Bros. has “Argo,� Universal has “Les Miserables,� Disney has “Lincoln,� Fox has “Life of Pi� and Sony has “Zero Dark Thirty.� Several of those films were produced with outside financing, but they all benefited from the strong distribution and marketing of a major studio. It all points to strong health for Hollywood: A star-studded awards gala of nine varied movies to cap a boffo 2012. The year’s domestic box office hit a record $10.8 billion and the number of tickets sold increased for the first time in three years. “The good news is there’s a robust body of moviegoers seeing quality films. That’s the real story,� says Peter Guber, the veteran producer and chairman of Mandalay Entertainment who produced the best picturewinning “Rain Man,� among others. “I have great hope that the films this year that did all this business will spawn more adult films and more films that have thoughtful content. I hope that will be the case, I really do,� says Guber. “But if you look at the lineup for this year, what you’ll see is sequels, remakes, re-dos, prequels and franchises.� This year’s class is still missing a heavyweight, like “Avatar� or “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King� (which drive viewers to the telecast), or the drama of something like Kathryn Bigelow and “The Hurt Locker� going up against ex-husband James Cameron and “Avatar.� “Argo� vs. “Lincoln,� as many believe the competition has come down to, “is not much of a horse race,� Gruber says. That idiosyncratic movies by talented filmmakers from Ang Lee to Quentin Tarantino can be so lucrative, albeit not
on the scale of the $1.1 billion-making “Skyfall,� suggests that risk-taking can pay off. (There still are cautionary tales like Paul Thomas Anderson’s “The Master,� which earned only $25.7 million worldwide, a fraction of its budget.) The trend for adult dramas had been going in the other direction, prompting worries about the diminishing appeal of the theatrical experience in a time of ceaseless digital entertainment, the loss of independent studios specializing in films for adult audiences, and television’s rise as the first destination for today’s best dramas. All of those concerns still have credence, but much of the critical discussion in 2012 turned not merely cynical but downright dismal. Many, including New Yorker critic David Denby (who released the book “Do the Movies Have a Future?�) pondered the shrinking stature of movies in American public life. But at least this Oscar’s batch has vibrancy, with films that have provoked audiences. Bigelow crafted “Zero Dark Thirty� as an almost documentarylike early draft of history, leading up to the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. She intended, she said, “to ask the audience to lean into their own conclusions� — and, boy, have they. No movie has been more hotly debated, from the corridors of Washington to the multiplexes of suburbia. At a time when teenager-targeted extravaganzas increasingly crowd out quality films for adults, this year’s best picture films made the argument for being a little daring. “Every movie is unknown,� said Lee. “If it’s known, then no studio would lose money.�

Study: Better TV might improve kids’ behavior BY DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP Associated Press
SEATTLE — Teaching parents to switch channels from violent shows to educational TV can improve preschoolers’ behavior, even without getting them to watch less, a study found. The results were modest and faded over time, but may hold promise for finding ways to help young children avoid aggressive, violent behavior, the study authors and other doctors said. “It’s not just about turning off the television. It’s
about changing the channel. What children watch is as important as how much they watch,� said lead author Dr. Dimitri Christakis, a pediatrician and researcher at Seattle Children’s Research Institute. The study involved 565 Seattle parents, who periodically filled out TV-watching diaries and questionnaires measuring their child’s behavior. Half were coached for six months on getting their 3-to-5-year-old kids to watch shows like “Sesame Street� and “Dora the Explorer� rather than
more violent programs like “Power Rangers.� The results were compared with kids whose parents who got advice on healthy eating instead. At six months, children in both groups showed improved behavior, but there was a little bit more improvement in the group that was coached on their TV watching. By one year, there was no meaningful difference between the two groups overall. Low-income boys appeared to get the most short-term benefit. “That’s important because they are at the
greatest risk, both for being perpetrators of aggression in real life, but also being victims of aggression,� Christakis said. The study has some flaws. The parents weren’t told the purpose of the study, but the authors concede they likely figured it out and that might have affected results. Before the study, the children averaged about 11⠄2 hours of TV, video and computer game watching a day, with violent content making up about a quarter of that time. By the end of the study, that increased by up to 10 minutes.
Those in the TV coaching group increased their time with positive shows; the healthy eating group watched more violent TV. Nancy Jensen, who took part with her daughter, now age 6, said the study was a wake-up call. “I didn’t realize how much Elizabeth was watching and how much she was watching on her own,� she said. Jensen said her daughter’s behavior improved after making changes, and she continues to control what Elizabeth and her 2-year-old brother, Joe, watch. She also decided to
replace most of Elizabeth’s TV time with games, art and outdoor fun. Another researcher commended Christakis for taking a look at the influence of positive TV programs, instead of focusing on the impact of violent TV. “I think it’s fabulous that people are looking on the positive side. Because no one’s going to stop watching TV, we have to have viable alternatives for kids,� said Dr. Michael Rich, director of the Center on Media and Child Health at Children’s Hospital Boston.
