City Hall to have new board room

Clay Hughes of CKH Inc. shows Alderman Mike Hopkins the sound equipment being installed at the podium in the new board room at Corinth City Hall.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen is taking business to the next level at City Hall.

In its next meeting at 5 p.m.

Tuesday, the board will meet for the first time in its new board room upstairs in the former municipal courtroom. The move is being made to provide more space and better acoustics for spectators.

Building Inspector Philip Verdung has led the construction project for the past few months. On Friday, Clay Hughes was working on one of the final touches — installing a sound system and microphones so that statements by the board

and anyone addressing the board will be easily heard.

Hughes said the system will include a wireless microphone for those addressing the board and four to six ceiling-mounted speakers. He hopes to have the sound system programmed and ready by Tuesday’s meeting.

Next door, the former municipal judge’s office is being transformed into a conference room.

The old board room has been gutted and is awaiting construction of new offices to house the mayor and mayor’s secretary.

Magazine honors Corinth native Pitts Man known for music, poetry, writing, art

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Oxford American — described in its motto as “The Southern Magazine of Good Writing” — dedicated its 13th annual “Southern Music CD” to a Corinth native, Jimmy “J.E.” Pitts.

The CD accompanied the magazine’s annual music issue — dedicated this year to the music of Mississippi.

“This year’s CD is dedicated to our former poetry editor and colleague, Jimmy (J.E.) Pitts, music lover & music player extraordinaire, who believed in the power of art, no matter how messy,

and who believed in this project, no matter how imperfect, and who was born in Corinth, Miss., in 1967, and died in OxPitts ford, Miss., in 2010,” the dedication said. “Jimmy, you gave the people what they wanted!”

The multi-talented Pitts is remembered by his friends as

a man with an inexhaustible supply of energy and a neverending drive to create. Oxford American founder and editor Marc Smirnoff first got to know Pitts during their college years at Ole Miss.

“Jimmy was a poet, painter, songwriter, editor, and probably more. Last time I was in Oxford the town’s resident hippie (and former mayoral candidate) Ron Shapiro said to me: ‘Jimmy made art every day. Think of that: he made art every day’,” said Smirnoff. “As Please see PITTS | 2A

Corinth’s bid to earn its first 4A state title in any sport came up short with a 2-1 loss to Bay in Clinton. For the complete story, see sports inside today.

SELMER, Tenn. — More than likely, Tom Brady or Eli Manning will be leading a game-winning drive in Super Bowl XLVI. First Baptist Church of Selmer is taking different approach on Super Sunday. When the church breaks huddle today, it will be setting out on a far greater route — a drive to win souls.

“Historically, super bowl parties are held all over town,” said church pastor Bro. Mark Thompson. “We wanted to do something that would get people excited about church.”

Worship Minister Bryan Essary came up the game plan of having Souper Bowl Sunday where the church divides all of its Sunday School classes and forms a Blue and Red Team.

Relay for Life team captains will gather

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Relay for Life organizers will discuss this year’s effort in the war against cancer at an upcoming meeting.

The Relay for Life Team Captains Meeting will be held from noon until 1 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 24, at the MSU Extension Service.

“We’re going to talk about where everybody’s at in the fundraising,

new teams that are possibly on board and teams that are on board,” said Kristin Chittom, community representative for the Mid-South Division of the American Cancer Society.

The group will discuss fundraisers and designating teams and individuals to contact survivors about participating in Relay for Life.

Another topic of discussion will be the search for a church that is willing to

host the annual survivors’ dinner.

“We definitely need support and help in that area,” Chittom said.

They will also discuss the effort to go into schools to spread awareness and encourage support for Relay for Life, and an upcoming meeting to request the support of Magnolia Regional Health Center.

The team captains will talk about ideas for fol-

lowing this year’s theme: “Cancer Never Takes a Holiday.” At the annual Relay events, each team will decorate its booth in varying ways that follow the year’s theme. For the 2012 event, each team will choose a different holiday as the theme for its booth.

Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society’s primary volunteerdriven fundraising event.

Started in the United

States, it has spread to 21 countries. While the main objective of Relay for Life is to raise money for cancer research and cancer patients, the event is also held to spread cancer awareness, celebrate the lives of survivors, remember people who have lost their lives to the disease and build community unity in the fight against cancer.

Relay for Life has raised an estimated $3 billion

for the American Cancer Society to date.

The 2012 Relay for Life of Alcorn County event will be held Friday, June 1, at Crossroads Regional Park.

To sign up for a holiday or for more information contact Kristin Chittom at 662-844-8544 or send an email to kristin.chittom@cancer.org.

and break area. A small break room across from the old conference room is now serving as an office for the police department. It includes a computer so that officers can file reports or meet with individuals there

without returning to the justice center.

City Clerk Vickie Roach said an office may also be set up for the new security guard, Buddy Kemp.

Some other shuffling is still forthcoming. The Department of Community Development and Planning may move to

another office, and the fire department will use some of the former police department space once it is fully cleaned out.

To get to the new board room, take the stairs at the main City Hall entrance. The board room is immediately at the top of the stairs.

Banks bring gifts to Headstart During the recent holiday season, representatives from six Corinth banks and one credit union came to the Corinth Headstart Center and brought gifts for the children of the Corinth center. The children were very excited to find gifts under the trees in their classrooms with their names on them. Representatives from the businesses included (back row, l to r): Matt Quinn, CB&S; Ellis Rhett, BancorpSouth; David Dixon, Regions; John Butler, Home Bank; and Greg Kiddy, BancorpSouth; and (front row, l to r): Erin Parrish and Kayla Latch, Commerce National; and Mandy Corbin, Southeast Financial Credit Union.

somebody who was once Jimmy’s roommate I can attest to that.”

To Smirnoff, Pitts’ best talents were in poetry in painting.

“Some of his paintings are absurdly great,” Smirnoff said.

Pitts’ only formal art training consisted of five years of art classes in the Corinth school system.

His paintings are in the folk art style, with simple, almost childish shapes that convey deep emotions despite their explicit simplicity.

“Pitts the folk artist is a whacked-out, irrepressibly, upside-down visionary,” wrote Smirnoff in a Fall 2005 column dedicated to his friend. “His paintings of zombies, ghosts, country politicians, robots, hillbilly musicians, dinosaurs, trick-or-treaters, astronauts, priests, rollercoasters, and distorted cows and dogs have the magic to transport witnesses — suddenly, and by the seat of our pants — to a time and perspective when those subjects held us in thrall, or real fear. With a tantalizing, supernatural directness,

his pictures beckon us to a world we have almost entirely abandoned.”

Pitts described the sources of his inspiration in his artist bio on the website for the Attic Gallery, a Vicksburg art gallery that was the first to pick up on Pitts’ paintings: “I take inspiration from the things around me, daily life, and memory: though some of my work is pure fantasy, and deservedly exists in its own separate dimension,” Pitts wrote.

Pitts’ creations have found several famous admirers, including movie director Robert Altman and country singer Marty Stuart, who both own Pitts paintings.

He was also a published poet, with works appearing in many literary reviews, including the prestigious journal “Poetry.”

He was awarded a Literary Arts Fellowship for Poetry from the Mississippi Arts Commission in 2006. His first collection of poem, “The Weather of Dreams,” was published in 2007.

In addition to encouraging his friend Smirnoff during the founding days of the Oxford American, Pitts was the co-founder of The Weekly Planet, an alternative paper, and

was a co-founder and poetry editor for the literary journal Vox. He was poetry editor for the Oxford American for a decade.

Pitts wrote prolifically, with an unflagging drive to put words on paper.

“He wrote poems, short stories, song lyrics, letters and postcards, oneliners, quotes [...], titles, lists, much etc.,” Smirnoff wrote in a column paying tribute to his late friend.

“He worked on several book-length projects, including a true-crime account, two memoirs, two novels, and an autobiography — perhaps the only one in literary history whose narrative began before the narrator’s birth.”

One of his book-length projects focused on the death of his mother. Although he didn’t find out until his mid-30s, Pitts was adopted. One day he got a phone call from a sister in Corinth he’d never known about, and learned of his real mother, who died in mysterious circumstances in a Corinth-area hotel when Pitts was a toddler.

In the years before his death, Pitts struggled with kidney failure, which left him gaunt and weak. He died Aug. 19, 2010, at his home in Oxford. Friends and family celebrated his life four days later at the Powerhouse Community Arts Center in Oxford, home of the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council. Afterward, a graveside service followed in Oxford Memorial Cemetery.

Pitts’ life ended while he was still relatively young, but the Corinth-born artist’s spirit survives in his creations — and with the people who knew him.

“He had more energy than anybody,” said Lesley Silver, owner of the Attic Gallery. “And it feels like his spirit is strong and he’s still here.”

Corinth, Miss.

The truth behind five simple sentences Even circular emails contain truth from time to time. I’ve received one particular email a number of times, have always agreed with it, but have only recently verified the original source. Five simple sentences: Daniel “You cannot legislate the Gardner poor into freedom by legislating the industrious out of it.”

Columnist “You don’t multiply wealth by dividing it.”

“Government cannot give anything to anybody that it doesn’t first take from somebody else.”

“Whenever somebody receives something without working for it, somebody else has to work for it without receiving.”

“The worst thing that can happen to a nation is for half of the people to get the idea they don’t have to work because somebody else will work for them, and the other half to get the idea that it does no good to work because they don’t get to enjoy the fruits of their labor.”

Pastor Adrian Rogers, Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis, Tenn., penned those words in a 1984 sermon.

These truths contradict socialist progressive rhetoric and policies claiming government can and should lift the poor out of poverty by taking money away from the wealthy and distributing it “fairly” to those in need.

Put another way by Karl Marx in 1875, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

When government teaches the poor they are entitled to benefits, those citizens become more dependent on the government for their livelihoods and less dependent on their abilities to meet their own needs.

Progressives are using the “wealth gap” to divide Americans. Make no mistake, progressives are not trying to unite us.

They are making great efforts to divide us for political gain. They’re promising to take money from “millionaires and billionaires” and redistribute it fairly to those in need.

Ain’t gonna happen! Never has happened, and never will happen!

Americans need jobs not benefits. We need opportunities to make money to provide for our own families, not more government programs promising to redistribute money from the wealthy to the needy.

Socialist progressives say, “We know you earned your money, but you’ve made so much money you need to share the wealth with those less fortunate. We’ll pass laws to take your excess money and make sure the needy get their fair share.” They’re trying to take more money away from those who work in order to spend more in government programs.

More government programs mean more government rules, and more rules mean businesses have more expenses which cost them profits.

We do want businesses to profit, don’t we?

When businesses profit, they grow and add jobs. When government creates more rules and regulations, government necessarily restricts businesses’ ability to profit and grow, and the economy stagnates at, say, 1.7 percent growth.

Socialist progressives in Washington have produced more rules and regulations harmful to businesses in the past three years than Washington created in eight years under the Bush administration. That’s why the economy has stagnated and businesses are not creating more jobs.

Progressives have nearly ruined our economy particularly during the past three years because they don’t understand the truths of five simple sentences.

The correlation between the state’s poverty rate and the state’s education attainment numbers are undeniable. With 21.8 percent of Mississippians living in poverty, 20.5 percent of the state’s population over the age of 25 has less than a high school education. A total of 51.2 percent of Mississippians over the age of 25 have a high school diploma or less formal education.

The legacy of the South as it evolved from an agrarian economy in the last century was to compete for industrial jobs primarily by offering cheap labor. That model

is forever broken by the fact that cheap and plentiful labor is available overseas. To compete as a state and as a region for the jobs of the future, Mississippi and our neighbors must set about constructing a new economic development model.

That new model must offer an educated workforce nimble enough to utilize state-sponsored workforce training and to utilize the ongoing research of comprehensive state universities as incubators for new and evolving industries.

Quality jobs follow quality schools.

In other words, the road to future opportunity, growth and jobs in Mississippi runs through classrooms from pre-kindergartens to graduate schools.

With more opportunity, growth and jobs, there will be less poverty, more taxpayers, and perhaps an ultimate reprieve for Mississippi from the dubious title of “the poorest people in America.”

ing their health care is literally unconscionable. ... This represents a challenge and a compromise of our religious liberty.”

Where do Obama and Sebelius get the power to do this?

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, signed into law on March 23, 2010, the colloquial name for which is “Obamacare.”

NARAL Pro-Choice America is celebrating the new policy. Planned Parenthood’s president, Cecile Richards, calls it a “health care issue… based on what’s best for women’s health.”

Others have argued that many Catholic women practice birth control.

But that Catholics choose to ignore doctrine does not justify the U.S. government imposing on Catholic institutions a policy that violates Catholic teaching.

Even Washington Post liberal E.J. Dionne, in a Jan. 30 column titled “Obama’s Breach of Faith,” charges that the president “threw his progressive Catholic allies under the bus….

“Speaking as an American liberal who believes that religious pluralism imposes certain obligations on government… the Church’s leaders had a right to ask for broader relief from a contraception mandate that would require it to act against its own teachings.”

Why did Obama do it?

meant leaving Archbishop Dolan with egg all over his face. Obama, calculatedly, came down on the side of those he believes to be more crucial to his re-election.

This affront should tell the Catholic hierarchy, if they did not already know, where they stand in the party of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Kathleen Sebilius. And where they sit — in the back of the bus.

Yet if the bishops will look upon this crisis of conscience, this insult, as an opportunity, they can effect its reversal and recapture a measure of the moral authority they have lately lost.

Not only should the bishops file suit in federal court against the president and Sebelius for violation of the constitutional principle of separation of church and state, they should inform the White House that no bishop will give an invocation at the Democratic Convention.

Then, they should inform the White House that in the last two weeks of the 2012 campaign, priests in every parish will read from the pulpit at Sunday mass a letter denouncing Obama as anti-Catholic for denying the Church its right to live according to its beliefs.

If Obama loses the Catholic vote, he loses the election.

The White House will come around, fast. Rely upon it.

State Inmate asks US high court to stop execution

BY HOLBROOK MOHR Associated Press

JACKSON — Attorneys for Mississippi inmate Edwin Hart Turner are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to block his execution next week, arguing he’s so mentally ill that he shot himself in the head as a teenager and was left permanently disfigured.

Turner, 38, is scheduled to be executed Wednesday at 6 p.m. There’s a separate petition before a federal court in Jackson, Miss., where a hearing was scheduled later Friday.

The petition with the Supreme Court was filed Thursday. It says “Turner suffers from an inherited and chronic mental illness” that impaired his ability to understand right and wrong and the consequences of his actions.

Court records say Turner killed two Car-

roll County men in 1995 while robbing gas stations with his friend, Paul Murrell Stewart. Turner allegedly shot the men at close range with a 6mm rifle. The robberies were said to have netted about $400.

Stewart testified against Turner and was sentenced to life.

James Craig, a lawyer with the Louisiana Capital Assistance Center, argues in the petition to the Supreme Court that Turner inherited a mental illness like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia from his father. Hart has attempted suicide several times, including putting a rifle in his mouth and shooting himself in the head when he was 18 years old. He was left permanently disfigured.

“Hart was infamous in his small Mississippi town because he wore a towel wrapped around

his face at all times to hide the disfigurement.

Not only was he wearing a towel at the time of the killings, he was wearing a jacket that said ‘Turner’ on it,” Craig said in the filing. “At trial numerous witnesses testified that they knew of Hart and his towel before the incident, and each easily identified Hart — who was sitting at the defense table shrouded in his signature towel.”

Turner had spent three months in a mental institution and was released six weeks before the killings, the filing said.

The document also said Turner’s grandmother and great-grandmother on his father’s side were both schizophrenic and spent years in and out of the state mental hospital.

Turner’s father was killed in 1985 when he shot a gun into a shed full of dynamite, causing an explosion, in what rela-

tives described as a “successful, albeit passive, suicide attempt,” according to the document.

In arguing that Turner was irrational, Craig said there was no need for him to rob the stores because he was financially secure due to his father’s death.

“Mississippi is but one of 10 states who permit the execution of one who, like Turner, suffers from a serious mental illness at the time of his conduct at the time of the offense,” according to the legal filing.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that executing a mentally ill person amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, which is forbidden under the Constitution.

The Mississippi attorney general’s office didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment but has said in the past that courts have previously

rejected Turner’s arguments about mental illness.

Court records said Turner and Stewart were drinking beer and smoking marijuana on the night of Dec. 12, 1995, when they decided to rob a store. They picked Mims Turkey Village Truck Stop on U.S. Highway 82 in Carroll County, where 37-year-old Eddie Brooks was working a late shift.

Authorities said Turner shot Brooks in the chest and became enraged when he couldn’t get the cash register open. Turner “placed the barrel of his gun inches from Eddie Brooks’ head and pulled the trigger,” according to court records.

The two men drove about four miles down the road to Mims One Stop, where Everett Curry, a 38-year-old prison guard, was pumping gas. Stewart went inside to rob the

store, while Turner forced Curry to the ground at gunpoint.

“As Curry was pleading for his life, Turner shot him in the head ... then ran into the store and ordered everyone to get down, and pointed his gun at a man inside ...

Stewart urged Turner not to kill anyone else since they already had the money that they came for,” the court records said.

Turner’s trial was held in Forrest County, where he was convicted of two counts of capital murder and sentenced to death on each count.

The arguments being made in U.S. District Court also include claims about Turner’s mental illness, but those are based on alleged restrictions the Mississippi Department of Corrections places on prisoners being evaluated by their own medical and mental health experts.

Man gets DUI between applying for, getting pardon

BY HOLBROOK MOHR Associated Press

BRANDON — Former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and parole officials said Saturday that they didn’t know a man was charged with DUI after a fatal wreck that happened between the time he applied for a pardon and the time Barbour granted it.

The Parole Board investigated Harry Bostick’s application for pardon from a felony DUI and sent a fa-

vorable recommendation to Barbour on Sept. 30.

The crash happened the next month, and Barbour signed the pardon two months later on Jan. 10.

Parole Board Chairwoman Shannon Warnock and Barbour’s spokeswoman said Saturday they didn’t know about Bostick’s most recent DUI charge or the wreck because it happened after officials investigated the pardon request.

The accident killed

18-year-old Charity Smith.

Bostick is charged with DUI, but not with causing her death.

“The arrest did not result in any notification to the Parole Board or to the governor’s office,” Warnock said Saturday.

Neither the teen’s parents nor Bostick could be reached Saturday by The Associated Press.

The pardon won’t wipe out the new DUI charge, and it’s not yet known if Bostick will face more

charges related to the crash.

A former U.S. attorney was among those supporting Bostick’s pardon.

People who supported Bostick’s pardon said he was a former IRS investigator whose life spiraled out of control after his son died in a house fire and he went through a divorce. They said he had been sober and was turning his life around.

Bostick was sentenced in May 2010 for his third felo-

ny DUI. He was sentenced to five years in an intensive supervision program and ordered to participate in the Lafayette County Drug Court program. His pardon paperwork shows he was supposed to be in the drug program until March 2013.

“In reviewing Mr. Bostick’s case, Gov. Barbour took the Parole Board’s recommendation into consideration, and he wasn’t aware of the subsequent charge,” Barbour’s spokes-

woman, Laura Hipp, said in a statement.

Man downs record 337 chicken wings Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Competitive-eating champ Takeru Kobayashi conquered Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual gustatory gorge-fest by eating 337 chicken wings in a half-hour before a crowd of nearly 20,000 at Wing Bowl XX. The Japanese phenom demolished the record of 255 set last year by Jona-

than â&#x20AC;&#x153;Superâ&#x20AC;? Squibb.

The Friday morning extravaganza drew thousands to the Wells Fargo Center before sunrise to watch competitors stuff themselves with chicken wings.

Kobayashi claimed a $20,000 cash prize for his victory. It was the sixtime Nathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hot Dog eating contest champâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

first time competing at Wing Bowl, though he consumed a cheesesteak in 24 seconds as part of an eating exhibition last year.

Squibb had been trying to win his fourth consecutive Wing Bowl crown, but the Berlin, N.J., man finished a distant second with 271 wings.

BY ALICIA A. CALDWELL Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Border Patrol agents have racked up daily overtime at a cost of about $1.4 billion in the past six years while the number of arrests of illegal border crossers has fallen to the lowest level in nearly 40 years, an Associated Press analysis of agency records finds.

Since the 2006 budget year, the agency charged with stopping would-be illegal border crossers and smugglers from making it into the U.S. over land and sea borders has spent more than $1.4 billion on what is described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;administrative uncontrollable overtime,â&#x20AC;? according to the data provided by the Border Patrol. In practical terms, agents average two hours a day in overtime.

That means agents can earn anywhere from 10 percent to 25 percent extra pay an hour for the first two hours of overtime, with the extra cash being steadily reduced every hour after that because of complicated overtime rules. Over the course of a year, an agent can earn about $15,000 more than the base salary, which for a more experienced agent is typically over $60,000 a year. Agents are limited to $35,000 in overtime annually.

The cost of overtime rose from about $155.8 million in 2006 to more than $331 million in 2011.

That increase coincides with the addition of about 9,000 agents in the past six years and the drop of apprehensions to a nearly 40-year low, from more than 1 million arrests in 2006 to about 340,000 in 2011.

Border Patrol Deputy Chief Ronald D. Vitiello said patrolling the border can be an unpredictable job that requires longer hours from agents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The uncontrollable nature of the work is inherent in the primary duty of a Border Patrol agent and must be performed in order to get the job done,â&#x20AC;?

Vitiello said, adding that anything from making an arrest to talking to witnesses can keep an agent

on duty beyond a scheduled shift. Often it stems from charging the Border Patrol for the time spent driving from a remote location to an agentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home base or staying late to finish the paperwork from an arrest or seizure of illicit cargo.

Still, with the government facing record deficits and the Department of Homeland Security likely to see more cuts, a system that builds in overtime the same way on the busy U.S.-Mexico border as it does on the relatively sleepy U.S.-Canadian border raises questions.

Most illegal border crossers are apprehended along the 2,000-mile long Mexican border in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. In the budget year that ended in September, 18,506 agents made a combined 327,577 apprehensions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an average of nearly 18 apprehensions per agent. The agency spent about $283 million on overtime.

But along the northern border there have been far fewer arrests, a statistic long used to judge the amount of illegal activity along the borders. Patrolling about 4,000 miles of border with Canada, 2,237 agents made 6,123 apprehensionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; an average of about three arrests per agent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in 2011. For example, the 201 agents in the Houlton Sector in Maine arrested just 41 illegal border-crosses.

Agents on the northern border earned a combined $37 million in overtime pay.

The more than 200 agents assigned to the Border Patrolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headquarters also made a combined $4.8 million in overtime last year.

Vitiello defended the long hours and said agents need to have a strong presence on the border. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regardless of the level of illegal cross border activity, agents are responsible for securing the border against all threats,â&#x20AC;?

Vitiello said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means that agents must have the flexibility to develop intelligence, act on that intelligence, interact with the community and work with their law enforce-

ment counterparts on illegal activity that has a nexus to the mission.â&#x20AC;?

As for those agents assigned to headquarters, Vitiello said they also cover shifts around the clock, including stints in the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation room.

T.J. Bonner, a retired Border Patrol agent and former president of the agentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union, said daily overtime is necessary to make sure any gains made in securing the border arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just punch in for an eight-hour day and go home,â&#x20AC;? said Bonner, who spent his career in the once-bustling San Diego sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have gaps at shift change, they (criminals) are going to exploit that gap.â&#x20AC;?

Vitiello said the agency is looking at possible changes that would impact overtime, including shifting to 10 hour shifts for four days a week. No final decisions have been made.

Sharon Snellings, Customs and Border Protectionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy assistant commissioner of human resources, said agency officials also are looking at shifting to another type of overtime system used by other law enforcement agencies that she said could save the agency about $70 million a year.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has said that her department is constantly looking for ways to trim its multibillion budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every element of the federal government has an obligation to find ways to do what we do more efficiently and in a more cost effective manner,â&#x20AC;? Napolitano said in a speech this past week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been looking for these ways for three years.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everything ... itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cutting down expenses related to procurement, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing certain things with IT which are cutting the costs of that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eliminating you know, subscriptions to unnecessary periodicals. We are finding that we can get leaner and meaner. And we will continue to do that.â&#x20AC;?

Napolitano did not mention cutting staff or spending for manpower.

Olive Branch pony farm a ‘family thing’

BY RAINA HANNA The Commercial Appeal

OLIVE BRANCH — Sally Ross Davis, Joanna Wilburn and Dr. Ruth Wilburn can tell you as much about every Welsh pony they have ever owned or bred as they can any member of their family.

The three sisters are the proud owners of Rollingwoods Farm in Olive Branch.

“The ponies are like our children,” Ruth said.

“Most of them were born here, and you’d know everything about your children — their lineage, their personalities and what they are capable of.”

The sisters, three of the four daughters of JoAnn and Billy Wilburn of Yazoo City, Miss., can remember breaking horses for their dad, who liked to ride hunters. Hunters, or hunting class horses and ponies, compete in arenas and are judged primarily on temperament, movement and ways of jumping fences.

The Rollingwoods ponies are divided into two classes: hunters and carriage driving horses depending on their size, temperament and abilities.

Currently, there are around 40 ponies at the farm but many others raised there have been sold or are on lease to other farms.

Ruth, a veterinarian and owner of Olive Branch Animal Clinic, started breeding ponies about 30 years ago. Her 30-acre property includes the clinic, a house, pasture land, stable and a large indoor training facility.

“People gave me ponies that were crippled or old because they couldn’t take care of them and I could, being a vet. So I got a brood mare and started to breed them. To be registered as Welsh ponies, the offspring only have to have one Welsh pony parent,” she said.

Soon, Ruth was known around the area not just

for her veterinary skills, but for her Welsh ponies.

Working full-time at the clinic and managing the breeding, she soon needed more help with the ponies and courted younger sister, Sally, to join her.

Sally is now in charge of buying, selling and leasing the ponies. Middle sister Joanna came on board later after a divorce left her looking for a new place to live. She now lives in the house on the property and is in charge of hunter and carriage training.

“I like to say that Ruth dragged Joanna and I into the business kicking and screaming. But actually, that’s not true; it’s just what I like to say. Really, we are very close and we work well together because we each have a part of the business we are responsible for,” Davis said.

Besides their Rollingwoods duties, Davis and Joanna also have fulltime jobs. Davis is a tax auditor for the state of Mississippi and Joanna is

a freight facilitator.

The fourth Wilburn sister, Stacy West, doesn’t ride. Her teen daughter, Kelli West, has taken quite an interest.

Rollingwoods ponies are known for temperament above all other things, closely followed by athletic ability. The ponies also have the benefit of extreme socialization.

“We use to call it ‘Turnerising’ after my son Turner’ now we call it ‘Masonizing’ after my younger son,” Davis said. “The kids kick balls around and sometimes at the ponies. They’ve skateboarded under them and jumped on them backward.”

The result is ponies that are comfortable around children and protective of them. For the entire family, the farm is more about their affection for each other and the ponies than a moneymaking enterprise. Like other businesses, theirs has tapered off in the difficult economy.

Lightning Crashes Warriors fall short in 4A title match

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

CLINTON — There was plenty of lightning Saturday at the Class 4A boys state soccer championship.

The Corinth Warriors just couldn’t bottle any.

Corinth finally ran out of late-game magic, falling to Bay High School 2-1 in the second of six championship games at Clinton High School.

The match was welcomed by rain and wind at the outset and delayed for about an hour at half due to lightning.

The Warriors (17-3-2) never led in the title match. Bay (167-1) took a 1-0 lead into the break with a goal in the 26th minute.

“We were wet in the first half and just tried to survive,” said Corinth coach Gregg Parker.

“In the second half we played well, we just had some calls that didn’t go our way.”

Halftime was extended with play suspended about an hour due to lightning. The stadium was also cleared as a mean storm front rolled through the area.

Corinth, seeking its second state title and first in 4A, evened things four minutes into the second half on John Mathis’ 33rd goal of the season. The senior, who suffered a broken collarbone one month and one day prior to Saturday, braved the wet surface on a bad ankle that was reinjured against Pontotoc on Tuesday in the North Half championship.

Bay reclaimed the lead five

minutes later. The Tigers lofted a corner kick past the goal and a good header redirected it into the back of the net.

Corinth got a handful of looks at a game-tying goal, but this time the Warriors were denied of any late-game heroics in the playoffs.

“Their goalie did a good job,” said Parker.

The Warriors came through with late goals in their previous two games to reach the title match. Corinth scored in the final minute against Florence to send the game into overtime, then avoided an extra session with Pontotoc by scoring in the final seconds.

Parker had noted his clubs resolve all season and was still singing their praises after a tough loss.

“They never quit,” said Parker. “I’m extremely proud of them.”

Corinth won the 1A/2A/3A title and set a school-record with 21 wins two years ago and fell just short of a return trip to the title game last season.

Despite being moved up to 4A this year, the Warriors put together another strong season, going unbeaten in Division 1-4A. Prior to Saturday, Corinth’s lone losses came to 5A Starkville in the seasonopener and at 6A DeSoto Central in a shoot-out.

Heading into Saturday’s contest, the Warriors had yet to lose this season with Mathis on the field, going 14-0-2. The All-State performer tallied 103 goals over 61 games the past three seasons.

Scoreboard

MSU survives against Auburn

THE FINE PRINT PRO FOOTBALL NFL playoffs

Associated Press

STARKVILLE,— The first 3-pointer was within the flow of the offense, but the next two were executive decisions

by Dee Bost.

The high-arching shots splashed through the hoop, Humphrey Coliseum erupted and No. 22 Mississippi State was on its way to a 91-88 victory over Auburn on Saturday afternoon.

“I was feeling it so I just pulled it,” Bost said.

It was that kind of shooting night for Mississippi State.

Arnett Moultrie led the team with 21 points and Renardo Sidney added 17 as the Bulldogs won for the fifth time in seven games.

While the big men were productive, it was Bost’s three consecutive 3-pointers to open the second half that turned Mississippi State’s 44-43 halftime deficit into a 52-44 lead. The Bulldogs never trailed again, shooting a torrid 60.4 percent (29 of 48) from the field, including 63.2 percent (12 of 19) from 3-point range.

That kind of shooting touch usually indicates an easy game. But Mississippi State still had to sweat out the final minutes due to some missed free throws and defensive lapses.

“We got the ball around the hole a bunch and we got fouled a bunch,” Mississippi State coach Rick Stansbury said. “We just didn’t make our (free throws) and get separation like we needed to.”

Bost finished with 15 points, making 4 of 6 from beyond the 3-point line while also adding seven assists. Rodney Hood added 11.

Mississippi State (18-5, 5-3 Southeastern Conference) got off to a good start on its three-game homestand that continues Thursday against rival Mississippi. But Auburn made things interesting in the final minutes — and Mississippi State seemed almost intent on helping the Tigers back into the game.

Hood got a technical foul while Bost and Moultrie fouled Auburn shooters on 3-point attempts. The Bost foul was particularly harmful, because it meant he fouled out 3:26 remaining. The Bulldogs don’t have another healthy true point guard, making do with Brian Bryant and Steele handling the responsibilities.

Then there was the Bulldogs’ sometimes shaky defense.

“Offensively, Auburn can get on a roll, and they got on a roll tonight,” Stansbury said. “They got to the free throw line against us more than any other team (this season) and that’s a bad stat.”

Auburn (13-10, 3-6) was led by Varez Ward, who scored a season-high 24 points off the bench. Kenny Gabriel added 22 points and 11 rebounds.

Bost is a 6-foot-2 senior who is moving higher on Mississippi State’s career record lists with each passing game, but his final season has been a bit of a struggle, especially when it concerns his shooting touch. He was making just 38.6 percent from the field this season, including 32.9 percent from 3-point range before Saturday’s outburst.

Moultrie was his usual productive self, going 7 of 13 from the field and 7 of 11 from the free-throw line. He also grabbed seven rebounds.

Sidney had one of his most productive games of the season, making all five of his shots, including a 3-pointer Mississippi State led for much of the first half, shooting 63 percent. But Auburn was nearly as good, making 53.6 percent (15 of 28) of its field goal attempts, including a 3-pointer by Gabriel at the buzzer that gave the Tigers their lead.

The Bulldogs had a week of rest coming into Saturday’s game, and needed it considering injuries and ineffective bench players have limited coach Rick Stansbury’s playing rotation to seven players.

Auburn’s 88 points were a season high. The Tigers fought back from a 13-point deficit, but simply couldn’t make enough stops on the defensive end to get a road victory.

“We made shots but we didn’t defend,” Auburn coach Tony Barbee said.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Andrew Steele hit a jump shot and 1 of 2 free throws in the final 31 seconds of the second overtime, lifting Alabama to a 69-67 victory over Mississippi on Saturday night.

Steele picked up a loose ball just before the shot clock ran out and drilled a long jumper for the Crimson Tide (15-7, 4-4 Southeastern Conference), which has won two straight after a four-game losing streak.

Jelan Kendrick then missed a shot for the Rebels (14-8, 4-4) and they sent Steele to the line. His first foul shot bounced off the rim and back in to make it a twopossession game.

Trevor Releford also made 1 of 2 from the line after that, and Jarvis Summers hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer for Ole Miss for the final margin.

JaMychal Green led Alabama with 16 points and 12 rebounds before picking up his fifth foul just 24 seconds into the second overtime.

Mitchell scored 14 points after coming off the bench for the first time this season.

He had made just 15 of 50 shots over the previous five games, and coach Anthony Grant went with a starting lineup that included three freshmen.

Charles Hankerson Jr. supplied a second-half spark and finished with 10 points.

Releford had seven points, five steals and four assists.

Nick Williams, a Mobile, Ala. native, led Ole Miss with 19 points. Terrance Henry added 14 while Reginald Buckner collected 11 points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots before fouling out in the first overtime.

Neither team got a field

goal in the second overtime until the 2:19 mark. Then, Releford got a steal and passed to Steele to start a fast break. Steele found Mitchell, who slammed it into the basket for a 63-62 lead.

The Rebels missed a shot and Hankerson couldn’t hit a 3-pointer for the Crimson Tide. Mitchell was fouled chasing down a long rebound, making both free throws for a 65-62 lead with 1:18 remaining.

Henry scored on a quick drive and Alabama worked 34 seconds off the shot clock before Steele salvaged the possession.

Steele rejoined the team in January after getting medically cleared to return after sustaining multiple concussions, and has supplied a steadying presence for a team that started a trio of freshmen. He had seven

points, including several of the game’s biggest.

In the first overtime, Henry blocked a Nick Jacobs shot to give the Rebels the ball with 16 seconds left.

Ole Miss had to inbound the ball when Releford knocked it away with 4.2 seconds left. Henry fired it in to Summers who lost control of the ball streaking toward the basket.

Green’s desperation jumper at the buzzer missed.

Mitchell punched the ball loose from Henry and Levi Randolph raced for an uncontested layup with 1:48 left to give Alabama a 54-51 lead.

Henry tied it with a basket and free throw at the other end with 57 seconds to play.

Alabama got to run the clock down after a foul, but Randolph missed a baseline jumper at the buzzer to send it to overtime.

Hunting small game makes for legitimate excuse Area deer and duck seasons have come and gone, but in no way does that mean sportsmen have to suppress their primal urge to hunt until the opening of turkey season later on or, even later, upon arrival of the new fall hunting seasons.

Plenty of small game hunting opportunities can still be had.

The Mississippi rabbit and squirrel seasons go through Feb. 28, and its quail season comes to a close at the end of the day on March 3.

Quail season has already concluded in Tennessee — like it really matters anyway unless you’re hunting on a reserve — and sportsmen have until Feb. 29 to hunt for rabbits and squirrels.

Hunting for small

game in the latter part of the season when I was growing up was a David lot differGreen ent then it is now.

Outdoors Of course there was a huntable population of quail back then, but that’s not what I’m talking about. Small game was pursued much more vigorously, whether hunting with a dog or the old fashioned way, which in turn made the hunting much tougher at the tail end of the season.

Success was usually limited due to reduced remaining small game populations, which also made it a no-brainer to

start focusing on other sports.

In no way is that the case today. Sportsmen these days have a much better chance of a successful outing during the last weeks of season since small game hunting receives little attention while the big game seasons are ongoing.

That translates into higher game populations with better odds for success.

Late season is prime time for using a dog, but let’s assume you don’t have access to a good hunting dog, which you probably don’t.

There is the old-fashioned way of stomping on brush piles trying to flush and shoot a rabbit as it comes out to one side.

stand comes together with big pine timber or in a tract of mixed pine and hardwood.

Squirrels tend to feed heavily on pine cone seeds when the acorn crop is all but depleted.

Another good reason for giving small game hunting a try, other than the enjoyment and the likelihood of success, is you can scout for other game as you go.

While walking through the thick bottoms and wooded hills, you can take note of turkey signs for the upcoming season, or quite possibly, locate a killer deer stand site for next fall.

Many sportsmen put off chores and their better half’s projects until after deer season is over.

Small game hunting

provides a legitimate excuse for prolonging the work even longer.

But as you make your escape and begin to tell your significant other you are going out to get a fix on your primal urge by doing some small game hunting, better make sure they are not standing near a somewhat heavy object easily accessible that can be thrown as you head out the door!

Or easing around silently, ever so slowly, while scanning the woods or sitting motionless with your back up against a tree where a good population of squirrels is known. These methods can and will produce good results.

The mild, rainy weather and the saturated ground we’ve had are perfect conditions to still-hunt for squirrels.

But instead of scouring the treetops as you would in early fall, pay close attention to the ground ahead.

The trees’ fruit has long since fallen and squirrels will be rummaging the forest floor in search of left-over nuts.

Whether you are a photographer, a hunter or just like viewing wildlife on a sunny afternoon, anyone who has spent time overlooking a food plot will have a deep appreciation for wildlife plantings.

Food plots are very attractive to wildlife enthusiasts because they can supplement daily nutritional needs at a low cost.

These plots can be designed to serve as a source of food and cover. Wellmanaged food plots have the potential to not only increase the wildlife population and their quality of health, but can also increase our opportunities for wildlife viewing.

To aid landowners who would like to plant wildlife food plots, Wildlife Mississippi is continuing its popular Wildlife Habitat Seed Program.

make seed available at a minimal cost.

The Wildlife Habitat Seed Program is designed to provide an incentive for landowners to establish and maintain food plots that will yield a variety of benefits to the landowner as well as to the species of wildlife he or she is managing.

Corn, soybean and grain sorghum will be available through Wildlife Mississippi’s Spring 2012 Wildlife Habitat Seed Program. All seed has been treated and has good germination rates.

Wildlife Mississippi will also be taking pre-orders for winter wheat which will be distributed in the fall.

If planted properly, the various types of seed will be utilized by a variety of species of wildlife. Whitetailed deer, turkeys, bobwhite quail, mourning doves, waterfowl and many species of song-

birds will benefit from the plantings of the seed that is offered.

The guidelines regarding this program are simple and easy to follow.

Anyone interested in obtaining seed should send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Wildlife Mississippi with a request for an order form and planting recommendations for the seed. Wildlife Mississippi will be taking orders until March 9, 2012. This will allow Wildlife Mississippi to place the orders in a timely manner to ensure that they will be filled in time for the planting season.

Shipping and handling charges incurred by Wildlife Mississippi are included in the price of the seed. The costs will be $18.00 per 50 lb. bag for corn, $12.00 per 50 lb. bag for sorghum, $12.00 per 50 lb. bag for soybeans and $9.00 per 50 lb. bag of winter wheat.

At this ladies salon, it’s more than just a haircut There aren’t many errands I look forward to as much as having my hair cut at Linda Harwell’s salon in Selmer, Tenn.

She’s a fine stylist, a grand human being and a natural cut up. Folks come to Linda’s, I suspect, not just for the privilege of receiving the expert ministrations of her flying fingers, but to be entertained.

Last time I dashed in for a trim, her small shop was crowded. We had one lady getting her hair combed out, another perched under the dryer, and a third who’d finished up her errands earlier than expected.

“Tell the truth, Louise.

You just wanted to get out and about.”

“No, Duane sent me out to do a bunch of things he

didn’t want to do. This is after I spent all morning painting the kitchRyland en.” “ R e Bruhwiler minds me Columnist of Horace,” chimed in another. “All I have to do is sit down and Horace comes up with a long list of stuff he wants me to do.

Right then.”

(I am, of course, changing the names of the participants in this conversation, husbands included.)

As we nodded, Beth Ann shrugged her shoulders up to her ears and grimaced. She’d overdone it raking leaves a day or two before, and that darn bra strap sure dragged

against her sore muscles.

She wished she could just take it off and leave it at home. Of course, if she were at home, she certainly wouldn’t be wearing one. She’d probably be in her pajamas.

Everybody chuckled.

We knew all about spending the day in our pajamas.

“So,” Beth Ann continued, “I used to keep my bra hanging on the doorknob. When somebody knocked, I’d grab it.

By the time I opened the door, I might be straightening out my shirttail, but I’d have my bra on.”

A friend of hers, Frances added, would get to working in the garden, find that darn bra so uncomfortable she’d take it off and leave it dangling in the pea vines. Forget all

about it till she was busy with dinner, then send one of her kids outside to fetch it.

Beth Ann said, “Just put duct tape on the relevant spots.”

She caught my pained expression.

“Oh no!” she said. “On the undershirt. You know, your camisole.”

The lady under the dryer shook her head. Duct tape wouldn’t work for her, she said. We didn’t know anything about uncomfortable till we had to deal with a falsie.

It took me a minute to realize she meant a prosthesis, not just a padded cup. “That hot rubber rubbing and chafing. . .” She shook her head.

We stopped grinning and shook our heads sympathetically.

That led to the story about Bobbie’s sister who could not swim but went watersliding with the kids wearing her prosthesis. “That first slide, her boob slid right out of her swimsuit.” She managed to grab it and stuff it back in place before anybody noticed, but when she plunged down that slide a second time, she had one hand pinching her nose shut and the other clasping the falsie.

Things were going fine ’till she reached the squiggly part of the slide and she started coming unglued. When she hit the water, she was still discombobulated but had enough presence of mind to continue her death’s grip on both her nose and her falsie, scared, on the one hand, that she’d get

water up her nose and choke or, on the other, embarrass herself to death.

Floundering around half drowned, she heard the lifeguard yelling in her ear: “Ma’am! Ma’am! Just stand up!” Turns out she was drowning in waistdeep water.

That’s when she decided to go through reconstruction.

And that’s when it was my turn to set myself in Linda’s chair, so I took my glasses off and set my spiral down and stopped taking notes.

U.S. wants Alzheimer’s treatment by ’25 Tax Refund? Put it to work!

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Effective treatments for Alzheimer’s by 2025? That’s the target the government is eyeing as it develops a national strategy to tackle what could become the defining disease of a rapidly aging population.

It’s an ambitious goal — and on Tuesday, advisers to the government stressed that millions of families need better help now to care for their loved ones.

“What’s really important here is a comprehensive plan that deals with the needs of people who already have the disease,” said Alzheimer’s Association president Harry Johns, one of the advisers.

Already families approach the advisory committee “reminding us of the enormity of our task,” said Dr. Ron Petersen, an Alzheimer’s specialist at the Mayo Clinic who chairs the panel.

The Obama administration is developing the first National Alzheimer’s Plan to address the medical and social problems of dementia — not just better treatments but better day-to-day care for dementia patients and their overwhelmed caregivers, too.

The plan still is being written, with the advisory panel’s input. But a draft of its overall goals sets 2025 as a target date to have effective treatments and ways to delay if not completely prevent the illness.

Some advisory members said that’s not aggressive enough, and 2020 would be a better target date.

“We want to be bold,” said Dr. Jennifer Manly of Columbia University.

“We think the difference of five years is incredibly meaningful.”

Regardless, an estimated 5.4 million Americans already have Alzheimer’s or similar dementias — and how to help their

families cope with day-today care is a priority, the advisory committee made clear Tuesday.

The disease is growing steadily as the population ages: By 2050, 13 million to 16 million Americans are projected to have Alzheimer’s, costing $1 trillion in medical and nursing home expenditures. That doesn’t count the billions of dollars in unpaid care provided by relatives and friends.

Today’s treatments only temporarily ease some dementia symptoms, and work to find better ones has been frustratingly slow. Scientists now know that Alzheimer’s is brewing for years before symptoms appear, and they’re hunting ways to stall the disease, maybe long enough that potential sufferers will die of something else first. But it’s still early-stage work.

Meanwhile, as many as half of today’s Alzheimer’s sufferers haven’t been formally diagnosed, a recent report found.

New rules, tests proposed for public aid

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — People who receive public assistance would be subject to random testing for drugs or nicotine and would have to perform community service under new requirements being considered by Mississippi lawmakers.

Officials say some ideas are already being carried out, while others could be blocked by federal regulations.

One bill would require people on public assistance to do 20 hours a week of community service.

Another says food stamps, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, could be spent only on healthful foods or beverages. The Mississippi Department

of Human Services says, however, that the state can’t put such restrictions on SNAP, which is fully funded by federal dollars.

Other bills propose random drug testing of people applying for public aid. A federal judge last fall issued a temporary injunction blocking Florida’s 2011 law that required drug testing as a condition for receiving welfare.

The Mississippi DHS already requires adult welfare recipients who are capable of working to perform 20 or 40 hours a week of work, school or community service, said Charlie Smith, a former lawmaker who works as legislative liaison for the agency. He said DHS moved to that policy about six months ago for recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families,

or TANF — the aid commonly called welfare.

The number of hours required depends on the age of a TANF recipient’s dependents. Those with younger children have shorter hours.

The Republican sponsors of the community service bill, Sens. Nancy Adams Collins of Tupelo and John Polk of Hattiesburg, said in separate interviews that they believe such service would help people develop job skills and make contacts that could help them find jobs to become self-sufficient.

“I worked in the welfare office in the Louisiana Delta when I was young.

I was a case worker,” Collins said. “I have seen sometimes a generational cycle — the government will give a handout but not a hand up in order to en-

courage them to use their gifts and abilities.”

Polk, who used to run his family’s sausage company, said he believes doing volunteer work helps people realize they can help others.

“For some people welfare, unfortunately, has become a way of life, for whatever reason,” Polk said. “Maybe this will help them on understanding a career track, maybe they’ll have more self-esteem.”

Smith said putting a 20-hour community service requirement into law could diminish the current requirements for work, school or volunteer work — the opposite of what the senators intend.

Rims Barber, who has lobbied for generations on behalf of the poor, said he believes the bill plays on worn-out stereotypes

about the needy being lazy.

“It’s the old ‘welfare queen’ crap,” Barber said.

“I call it the ‘20 hours of slavery’ bill.”

The bill, in its current form, would not exempt people because of age or physical impairment, although Collins and Polk said those changes could be made. It also does not specify which types of public assistance would prompt the community service requirement, meaning it could cover a wide range of programs, including Medicaid, the federal-state health care program for the needy, aged, blind and disabled and for families with young children. A significant number of Medicaid recipients are in nursing homes and others have long-term illnesses.

Jackson resident Scott M. Crawford, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2002, said he enjoys doing volunteer work but he has good days and bad days with MS. Although he is not on Medicaid, he said some people with disabilities might find it difficult to commit 20 hours a week, even if their health coverage depended on it.

“I wonder exactly how this proposed bill would protect the dignity of people, who, through no fault of their own, cannot contribute the prescribed 20 hours,” Crawford, 46, said in an email to The Associated Press. “Precisely how are those decisions to be made, and what administrative costs will there be trying to enforce this otherwise well-intentioned law?

World not quite as hot in 2011

BY SETH BORENSTEIN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The world last year wasn’t quite as warm as it has been for most of the past decade, government scientists said Thursday, but it continues a general trend of rising temperatures.

The average global temperature was 57.9 degrees Fahrenheit, making 2011 the 11th hottest on record, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said. That’s 0.9 degrees warmer than the 20th century average, officials said. In fact, it was hotter than every year last century except 1998.

One reason 2011 was milder than recent years was the La Nina cooling of the central Pacific Ocean.

La Ninas occur every few years and generally cause global temperatures to drop, but this was the

warmest La Nina year on record.

And 2011 also was the warmest year on record for Spain and Norway, and the second warmest for the United Kingdom.

In the United States, it was only 1 degree above normal, which made it the 23rd warmest on record.

But 17 cities — including Houston, Miami, Trenton and Austin — had their warmest years.

This marks the 35th straight year that global temperatures were warmer than normal. NOAA’s records for world average temperatures date back to 1880.

“It would be premature to make any conclusion that we would see any hiatus of the longer-term warming trend,” said Tom Karl, director of NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center. “Global tempera-

tures are continuing to increase.”

NASA, which calculates global temperatures in a slightly different way, announced essentially the same temperature for the year. But NASA’s recordkeeping calls it the ninth warmest ever.

Both NASA climate scientist James Hansen and University of Victoria’s Andrew Weaver said they expect that in the next few years the world will set yet a new record high temperature. 2010 tied for the hottest on record.

NOAA also released new figures for extreme weather. The agency recalculated the number of billiondollar weather disasters in the U.S., bumping the total from 12 to 14. Officials added Tropical Storm Lee, which dumped rain from Maryland to New England in September.

Playing ‘Miss Fix-It’ irks woman DEAR ABBY: My livein boyfriend is a total ditz when it comes to challenges. He claims it’s because he’s a city boy, but I think it’s just plain laziness. When something needs to be repaired, he looks the other way and expects me to be “Miss Fix-It.” It doesn’t matter what’s wrong — the car, the washer, plumbing, even issues with bills. It becomes my job.

I want him to challenge himself sometimes. I’ve never known a man who won’t venture into something that’s not familiar.

Is there anything I can say or do to let him know I want him to help, or am I stuck with a male damsel in distress? -- ROLEREVERSAL IN BRIDGEPORT, CONN. DEAR ROLE-REVERSAL: I’m sure you have told your boyfriend more than once that you want him to help. If he is as lacking in mechanical and organizational ability as you have implied, perhaps it’s better that you be the fixer than have him destroy whatever needs to be repaired.

Because you feel you’re

b e i n g taken advantage of, have him call a repairman and Abigail pay for Van Buren the service calls.

Dear Abby And while you’re at it, start a list of the positive things he adds to your relationship. If you come up with a minus instead of a plus, perhaps you should throw him back and keep fishing.

DEAR ABBY: My niece, “Sara,” is considerably overweight at the age of 9. I’m becoming very concerned that she’ll become diabetic by the time she’s in her teens. She has a horrible habit of literally shoveling food into her mouth as fast as she can, sometimes with both hands. She’s obviously eating too quickly to stop when she’s full. Now that she’s no longer a little girl, what was a bad habit has turned into disgusting table manners.

I live far away, so I have few opportunities to suggest that she slow down

or “take princess bites.”

Her mother is very resentful of criticism, and she’s allowing Sara her bad habit. I’m worried not only about my niece’s poor table manners, but also her health. Any suggestions? -- WORRIED AUNT, TUPELO, MISS. DEAR WORRIED AUNT: Is Sara’s mother obese? If so, the problem may be not only the speed with which your niece is eating but also what kinds of foods she’s being served at home.

Be smart and don’t make this about disgusting table manners. Because you’re concerned about your niece’s health, talk to both parents and ask what Sara’s pediatrician says about her weight and what possible solutions have been suggested. But do not make it appear that you’re criticizing their parenting or they’ll shut you out.

DEAR ABBY: People occasionally tell me I look like a famous person. They can be mere acquaintances, people I don’t know or people I don’t want to know. I’ve never seen the resem-

blance, and since this famous person is known for poor judgment and bad behavior I regard it as an insult.

People seem shocked when I respond with an insult. How do they expect me to respond? I can’t imagine walking up to someone and saying, “You look like ...” even if it were true. This is finally starting to bother me.

How should I respond?

— NOT VILLAINOUS — YET DEAR NOT VILLAINOUS (YET): People may be shocked when you answer them with an insult because they were not trying to be insulting. Rather than become defensive, try this: Smile and say, “You know, I hear that all the time. But I assure you we are not related — and I don’t act like ____ either. “ (Dear Abby is written

5 football stars who became movie stars

BY CHRISTY LEMIRE Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Super Bowl Sunday is upon us, a special, heartwarming time to gather with friends, eat too much queso and make ridiculous side bets on how long the national anthem will last and who will be forced to punt first.

It’s also a good time to reflect on the many, many football players who’ve branched out into movies.

We’d be here all day if we pondered college standouts like John Wayne and Dwayne Johnson, so we’re sticking strictly to the NFL. ■ O.J. Simpson: We really can’t ignore him. So instead, let us now harken to a simpler, happier

time, when O.J. was best known as a charismatic rental-car pitchman and sometime actor. Simpson had already begun his acting career before he retired, playing a security chief in “The Towering Inferno” (1974) and an astronaut in “Capricorn One” (1978). Probably his most famous film performances came in the “Naked Gun” trilogy, in which he played Frank Drebin’s best friend and partner, Nordberg, who often found himself in awkward situations.

■ Jim Brown: Spike Lee devoted an entire documentary, 2002’s “Jim Brown: All-American,” to Brown’s accomplishments on and off the field.

One of the greatest run-

ning backs in football history, Brown played nine seasons with the Cleveland Browns, from 195765. His confident persona drew the attention of a Hollywood agent, who thought he’d be perfect for action films. Brown was a revolutionary presence on the screen — a virile, almost threatening black man, in contrast to the sophisticated characters Sidney Poitier played.

And in movies like the 1969 Western “100 Rifles,” he did something previously unheard of: an interracial love scene (with Raquel Welch).

■ Carl Weathers: Come on, he’s Apollo Creed!

And he was in “Predator.”

Weathers started out as a star linebacker at San

Civil Wars blur Grammy lines

BY CHRIS TALBOTT Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Even Grammy voters don’t know what to do with The Civil Wars.

The duo has been nominated for best folk album and best country duo/ group performance, two categories that bear little resemblance to each other. Fellow nominees run the spectrum from Kenny Chesney to Eddie Vedder to Gillian Welch and Fleet Foxes.

And John Paul White and Joy Williams love it.

“We kind of had a little bit of a grin between the two of us and our team as well about that, too,” Williams said. “I think it’s fun the fact that we can’t be pigeon-holed into one or the other. That’s just fine with us.”

“We’re going for best dance recording next

year. We’re going to do a dubstep record,” White joked.

The truth is they don’t have time to record an album right now.

The Civil Wars were one of music’s underground success stories of 2011. The pair of hardworking, long-toiling solo artists joined together as a songwriting partnership and found the next step in their performance careers. Championed by Taylor Swift, Adele and dozens of other artists, it’s been a nonstop acceleration as they continue to sell copies of their 2011 debut album “Barton Hollow,” tour the United States and Europe, and collaborate with artists they never would have expected.

They recently debuted “Safe & Sound,” their “Hunger Games”

soundtrack song with Taylor Swift, live at Ryman Auditorium with a surprise visit from the pop star. And they unveiled the new documentary soundtrack for “Finding North” which they co-wrote with T Bone Burnett at Sundance.

They’ll leave for their first European tour about two weeks after the Feb. 12 Grammy ceremony in Los Angeles.

They hope to spend time there with fellow nominee Swift, a close friend. Swift knew each as a solo artist, and was instrumental in drawing attention to them at a pivotal point in the duo’s career. “I love The Civil Wars because they’re such a perfect example of two people who seem to be absolutely meant to make music together,” Swift said in an email.

Horoscopes Sunday, February 5, 2012

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some people will work themselves half to death for love and approval. You, on the other hand, will work because it’s what you do. It brings you satisfaction to be in action. Any appreciation you gain in the process is a bonus.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When you get frustrated with the people you know, you consider strangers in a new light. Today’s opportunity will come from one of the billions of people you don’t know yet.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Keep the productivity coming, even when the work you’re turning out is less than thrilling. There is a learning curve, and you’re not on the other side of it yet. Eventually, quantity will breed quality.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Anger is tricky. Sometimes you can get mad at someone for a reason you know is completely ridiculous, and yet you’re still mad. That’s when you need a solo round of vigorous exercise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Creative talent isn’t just about playing an instrument or buying decor. Your creative talent will come out in interesting ways, especially having to do with conversational wit and motivating people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The strange way things unfold may cause you to feel taken aback or emotionally thrown for a loop. You could find yourself saying “ha-ha” when you want to be saying “aha” or vice versa.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Say what’s on your mind, and don’t worry

about whether you sound smart or cool. Far better to be warm and genuine than to hang back in a cloud of aloof self-consciousness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re a tough judge of character, especially your own. What you expect of yourself is sometimes unreasonable, though that doesn’t always keep you from achieving it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Someone else’s experience and opinion of you is colored by your enthusiasm and level of engagement. This will make the difference between being “in” and being “out.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). All the best games have difficult odds.

They wouldn’t be appealing otherwise.

“Persistence in the face of failure is often the key to eventual success, except in skydiving.” — Robert Mankoff.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may love the one who loves you back, but mutuality is not the reason for your affection. Your pure love is not based on what the other person feels or does for you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Plan a dinner party. Don’t wait around until you meet the funniest, smartest people in the world so that you can have the best dinner party since the dawn of time. This thinking leads to a frozen dinner for one.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Last week’s Neptune transit was monumental in that the change will color the next 14 years. And yet because Neptune is so distant and slow moving, the effects of this momentous astrological shift will be far too subtle to notice in these early weeks. Rest assured, small events are lining up to bring a change.

Cryptoquip

Diego State University before going on to an extremely brief pro career with the Oakland Raiders in the early ’70s. After a couple years in the Canadian Football League with the BC Lions, Weathers retired to pursue acting full-time in 1974. His most important role has been as Rocky Balboa’s nemesis and eventual friend in the first four “Rocky” movies; the character died in “Rocky IV.” His first crack at playing the lead, 1988’s “Action Jackson,” didn’t go so well. But he’s rebounded nicely, including playing a version of himself as Tobias Funke’s acting coach on a few episodes of “Arrested Development.”

■ Terry Crews: I would

argue that Terry Crews is better-known now as an actor than as a football player. He’s done everything from dopey comedies (“Soul Plane,” ‘‘White Chicks”) to bombastic action movies (“Terminator Salvation,” ‘‘The Expendables”). Whatever movie he’s in, he’s a welcome sight with his mix of intimidation and self-aware humor. He’s also carved out meaty television roles for himself on “Everybody Hates Chris” and “Are We There Yet?” Oh, yes, and he played football. He was a defensive end and linebacker for the (then-Los Angeles) Rams, San Diego Chargers and Washington Redskins over three seasons.

■ Alex Karras: You may

know him best for his television work as Emmanuel Lewis’ adoptive dad, Mr. Papadapolis, on the ’80s sitcom “Webster.” But before that, Karras put together more of an eclectic filmography than most football players who become movie stars.

Karras was an All-Pro defensive tackle who played 12 seasons for the Detroit Lions between 1958 and 1970. Even before his football career was over, he played himself in 1968’s “Paper Lion.”

Famously, he punched a horse as the fearsome but dimwitted Mongo in Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles” (1974). Karras played the sheriff in “Porky’s” and a closeted gay bodyguard in “Victor/Victoria.”

‘Chronicle’ elevates found-footage idea

BY CHRISTY LEMIRE Associated Press

It owes a great debt to the found-footage concept behind “The Blair Witch Project,” has some of the aesthetic and tonal touches of “Cloverfield” and probes the same sorts of philosophical notions about the burden of power that serve as the basis for the “X-Men” series.

And yet, “Chronicle” still has enough energy and ingenuity to serve as thrilling entertainment all its own.

First-time feature director Josh Trank and writer Max Landis have come up with a clever way to tell a hand-held, point-of-view story without relying on the same old grainy, headache-inducing shaky-cam techniques we so often must endure: The camera can levitate. Because the three teenagers who take turns operating it have acquired the power of telekinesis.

These are three recognizable high school types: nerdy loner Andrew (Dane DeHaan), popular athlete Steve (charismatic Michael B. Jordan) and Matt (Alex Russell), Andrew’s scholarly cousin. One night in the woods outside a party, they happen to come together to discover a hole in the

ground and decide to explore it. Since Andrew chronicles everything with his video camera, he documents what they find: some sort of glowing cosmic thing which fascinates them, and also gives them the ability to move and manipulate things with their minds.

Rather than embark on some important superhero adventure, they do what regular kids would do. They mess with people at Wal-Mart. They toy with pretty girls. They get really good at beer pong. They become emboldened individually and egg each other on — and they find that this new gift is like a muscle that gets stronger the more they use it. Eventually they figure out how to fly, which provides some of the film’s most exciting and startling moments and also marks the beginning of the end of all their seemingly harmless, adolescent fun. “Chronicle” gets dark quickly, especially as the put-upon Andrew finally comes into his own physically.

The third act goes a little haywire, especially as the camera device collapses in favor of various points of view. Still, this is an auspicious beginning for a couple of exciting, young filmmaking voices.

0180 Instruction

Top 10 Reasons For Reading A Newspaper: 1. My newspaper has never crashed, gone down or flashed animated ads at me.

2. Anywhere I travel, my newspaper goes with me. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a laptop or a wireless connection or a PDA. 3. I can read my newspaper while standing, while eating, while riding a bus, but not while driving my car, which is just as well since I should be paying attention to the road.

4. If I read a story I like, I can tear it out and save it, and not have to pay to read it 30 days later.

5. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to sign in or customize or register or remember passwords to read my newspaper. And I often enjoy articles in my newspaper on topics I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be interested in.

6. My newspaper has high-resolution pictures and type on large pages that load almost instantly, making it easy to browse and enjoy.

7. My newspaper is cheap, disposable and easy to replace. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lost or stolen, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no big deal.

8. My newspaper is not made of unrecyclable toxic materials.

9. If my newspaper makes a mistake, the correction is posted with an explanation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sneaky applied to the original story after Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read it.

10. I can read my newspaper sitting outside on a nice day in the sun, even if a breeze is blowing, because I know how to fold a newspaper.
