Corinth firefighter killed in wreck BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

KOSSUTH — A Corinth firefighter died from injuries sustained in a one vehicle wreck Wednesday morning. Corinth Fire Department En-

from Union Baptist Church on County Road 560. Authorities were alerted of the wreck when a passerby called 911 during the early morning hours. “Ronald was a like a brother to us all,” said Corinth Fire

gineer Ronald Franks, 41, was confirmed dead at the scene by Alcorn County Coroner Jay Jones. Franks was found inside his wrecked vehicle several hours after the accident about one mile

Chief Billy “Lucky” Briggs. “We couldn’t have asked for a better firefighter.” Franks, who was employed with the fire department for almost seven years, drove a fire truck for Fire Station #3 on

Norman Road. “It’s like losing a member of the family,” added Briggs. “He’ll certainly be missed.” Funeral arrangements are incomplete with Magnolia Funeral Home.

Ice Storm of 2015 ACE: 2,500 lost power

Agent: Most trees seem OK

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Memories of Ice Storm ’94 flooded those without power Monday as a winter storm brought cold temperatures and dumped less than an inch of freezing rain on the area. ACE Power confrimed 2,500 customers were without power at the peak of the storm. “Outage calls started coming in pretty fast around noon Monday,” said Jason Grisham, manger of engineering at ACE. “Our crews did an excellent job. They worked from lunch time Monday until about 5 p.m. Tuesday to get almost everyone back online.” The ice and snow accumulation created power outages due to heavy ice on the power lines and fallen trees and tree limbs. “We know it’s very cold on our customers, but we were working around the clock as hard as possible to get everyone’s power restored,” Grisham said, who remains on call for ACE 24/7 in case of any system issues. “We are quite fortunate it wasn’t any worse.” Power was restored to most of customers within three hours. A handful of customers are still without power today.

all over the county,” Gibens said. “The outages weren’t really in an exact area. We had a lot of little outages spread out across the county.” Gibens commended ACE Power crews for getting everyone back online quickly. “Crews were dispatched out fast and did a remarkable job

Most trees are expected to recover from the damage of Monday’s ice storm if they aren’t dealt another blow with the storm expected to hit the MidSouth on Friday. “Right now, we’re sitting pretty good, but if we were to get any more ice it could cause some major issues as far as tree tops and power outages, not to mention damage to landscaping plants,” said Patrick Poindexter, extension agent with the Mississippi State University Extension Service in Alcorn County. He hoped for more melting to occur before Friday’s storm, which is forecast to include ice accumulations. In his estimation, the Monday storm does not begin to compare to the damage wrought by Ice Storm ’94. “There have been some limbs that have broken out of some rather large trees, but not to the point that you’re going to

Ice lingering on trees and plants Wednesday made for some picturesque scenes when the sun showed its face for awhile. More snow and ice is forecast for the area today and Friday. “About a dozen customers had meter base damage where an electrician is necessary to help restore power,” he said. “Those customers are still waiting on electricians to finish their work and once we get the call, we will be back to restore their power.” Grisham said ACE called in help from Lee County’s Tombigbee Electric Power Associa-

tion. “Tombigbee sent a line crew and a couple of service crews. They helped us replace about ten poles that had damage from the storm,” Grisham added. Alcorn County Director of Emergency Services Ricky Gibens said his office received calls all day Monday. “There were power outages

Area murder case goes Meet the director: Casey Duke to state Supreme Court BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

A Prentiss County man serving a life sentence without parole for capital murder was scheduled to have his case heard this week by the Mississippi Supreme Court. Charles David Burleson II is seeking a new trial in the 2010 death of Stephen Holley of Thrasher. Burleson was convicted in October 2012 of capital murder in the case and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Jeremy K. Huguley was also originally indicted for capital murder in the death. He later pleaded guilty to second degree murder and was sentenced to serve 40 years in prison. Stephen Holley, 45, a disabled furniture factory worker, died at the North Mississippi Medical Center Friday, May 21, 2010, from an assault at his home in Thrasher on May 15, 2010. Prosecutors said he had been struck by a metal object and robbed. At trial the prosecution ar-

gued Burleson and Huguley went to Holley’s home, took items from the home and during that time Holley was beaten and left unconscious. They noted it was not necessary to determine who struck the fatal blow, but rather only to show the defendant was a party to the crime that led to the victim’s death. In his appeal to the state Supreme Court Burleson’s attorney argues the trial jury should have been provided with an instruction regarding how to consider circumstantial evidence, the trial court should not have allowed the indictment to be amended to charge him as a violent habitual offender and the trial judge should not have admitted evidence regarding a gun found in the defendant’s possession which was not relevant to the crime charged. The Supreme Court was scheduled to hear oral arguments in Burleson’s appeal on Tuesday and will hand down its decision in the case at a later date.

Homeschooled from kindergarten onward by a wise, intelligent and open-minded teacher she calls mom, Corinth-Theatre Arts’ newest director Casey Duke caught the acting bug at an early age. The only child of two engineers at ThyssenKrupp Elevators, Duke recalls her mother’s involvement with CT-A’s guild, while her father has performed in several plays over the past three years. “I actually started out here at CT-A, and would have majored in English had I not gotten involved during my last year of high school,” said Duke, who graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in theatre from the Mississippi University for Women in May of 2014. I had previously completed a lighting internship at Lees-McRae Summer Theatre in North Carolina.” Following graduation, the theatre major returned to Lees-McRae as their Master Electrician, then before moving straight on to Goodspeed

play required in her college directing class, among other senior-level undergrad projects and served as the Assistant Director for CT-A’s production of “Footloose” in 2012. Describing her directing experience thus far as overwhelmingly positive, the director had nothing but love for her cast, home theatre and community. “Everyone is so on board with the project and ready to do as much as they can to make it happen. The thing that’s easy to forget about our community theatre for us professionals is the level of commitment to the art, and for the art’s sake,” she said. “You don’t get as much of that in the big leagues. It’s really the reason we all started doing this in the first place, and it’s nice to be reminded.” “If it weren’t for CT-A, I would have never gone into theatre,” added Duke. “My first plays here were ‘Charlotte’s Web’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’ when I was maybe seven or eight.

Oscars draw attention to film diversity issue BY JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer

Cat of the Week Rag Doll is this week’s Daily Corinthian Cat of the Week. Her hair is so soft and she is searching for her forever home. For more information about Rag Doll or any other adoptable pets, contact the Corinth Alcorn Animal Shelter at 662-284-5800.

NEW YORK — It was a year ago that Lupita Nyong’o, shortly before winning the Academy Award for best supporting actress in “12 Years a Slave,� gave a speech about what she called “dark beauty.� Nyong’o, who so dazzled Hollywood and the Oscar-viewing public through awards season, spoke tenderly of receiving a letter from a girl who had been about to lighten her skin before Nyong’o’s success, she said, “saved me.� The letter struck Nyong’o because she recognized herself in that girl: “I remember a time when I too felt unbeautiful. I put on the TV and only saw pale skin.� The Mexican-born, Kenyan-raised actress was

a central part last year to an Academy Awards flush with faces uncommon to the Oscar podium. What a difference a year makes. This year’s Oscars repeat a stubborn pattern that has plagued the Academy Awards throughout its history: Whenever change seems to come, a frustrating hangover follows. “Every 10 years, we have the same conversation,� Spike Lee, a regular witness to the sporadic progress, has said. Seldom have such fits and starts been starker than this Oscars, coming a year after a richly diverse Oscar crop. In Sunday’s Academy Awards, all 20 acting nominees are white, a result that prompted some to declare that they would boycott this year’s ceremony.

The lack of nominations for “Selma� director Ava DuVernay and star David Oyelowo were a particular flashpoint, viewed by many as unjust oversights not only because they merited honoring, but because their absences furthered an ignoble Oscar history. “I was surprised but then I wasn’t,� said Darnell Hunt, a UCLA professor and director of the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies, who co-authored a 2014 diversity report on the film and TV industries. “What we saw in terms of the nominations this year was business as usual. What we got was more or less an accurate reflection of the way the industry is structured and the way the academy is populated.�

see any major economic losses with tree farms and things along that line,� he said. He is getting some questions from people concerned about small pines with bent tops. “Once this ice melts off, those trees should respond and straighten back up,� he said. Pines suffered the most damage as a long period of freezing rain created a glaze on the trees. “The cedar trees, they are pretty flexible,� said Poindexter. “They should respond fine once we get out of this weather pattern and things start warming up a bit.� He did spot a Bradford pear tree that split down the middle. “They are notorious for being weak-middled, and if they get any type of little groove up in that top, that will create a weak point and the wind can split them,� he said. Just two or three more hours of freezing rain could have had a much worse outcome with many more trees losing their tops. “We really dodged a major bullet,� said Poindexter. According to the National Weather Service Memphis Forecast Office, Corinth was in a narrow band of half inch or more ice accumulations on Monday. The small swath of heavy ice included northern parts of Alcorn and Tippah counties and southern McNairy and Hardin counties in Tennessee and extending west to the Tunica area.

getting lines back up and working,� said Gibens. “All agencies in the city and county actually did a great job responding and taking care of problems.� Monday’s storm wasn’t as bad as Gibens expected and he hopes the second round of possible freezing rain and snow doesn’t cause more problems.

“Hopefully, the ice left over from Monday will thaw before this second round gets here,� he added. “It really hasn’t been a bad winter – other than a few cold days, I think most of what we consider a bad winter has happened this week.� With extremely low subzero temperatures forecasted for Wednesday, according to the Na-

A slight chance of snow is likely tonight with a low of 16. Friday’s forecast includes a 70 percent chance of freezing rain, sleet and snow with a high of 31. New ice and snow accumulation is expected with less than one inch possible. Friday night’s forecast calls for more freezing rain and ice as temperatures begin to rise overnight. “We are ready for the possible second round,� said Grisham. “Trucks are fueled, backup generators are ready and we have all equipment checked just in case we get anything Friday.� Grisham said Monday’s event was no where close to Ice Storm ’94. “There were very few customers in the county

that even had power in 1994 after the storm hit and more than half of those customers were without power for two weeks,� he said. “If we had something even close to that bad now, I know we would be more than prepared. I feel like the vast improvements to our system and the difference in technology would help us be able to restore power much fasted than we were able to in ’94.� Saturday may be the area’s best chance of melting away the ice. A high of 52 along with a 90 percent chance of rain will bring a warm up to the area. Rain continues Sunday with a chance of snow and highs in the mid 40s.

Campus Country keeps fans moving

Today in History Today is Thursday, Feb. 19, the 50th day of 2015. There are 315 days left in the year. This is the Lunar New Year of the Goat.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 19, 1945, Operation Detachment began during World War II as some 30,000 U.S. Marines began landing on Iwo Jima, where they commenced a successful month-long battle to seize control of the island from Japanese forces.

On this date: In 1473, astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Torun, Poland. In 1881, Kansas prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. In 1915, during World War I, British and French warships launched their initial attack on Ottoman forces in the Dardanelles, a strait in northwestern Turkey. In 1934, a blizzard began inundating the northeastern United States, with the heaviest snowfall occurring in Connecticut and Massachusetts. In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, clearing the way for the U.S. military to relocate and intern Japanese-Americans during World War II. In 1959, an agreement was signed by Britain, Turkey and Greece granting Cyprus its independence. In 1976, calling the issuing of Executive Order 9066 “a sad day in American history,” President Gerald R. Ford issued a proclamation confirming that the order had been terminated with the formal cessation of hostilities of World War II. In 1997, Deng Xiaoping, the last of China’s major Communist revolutionaries, died at age 92. In 2008, an ailing Fidel Castro resigned the Cuban presidency after nearly a half-century in power; his brother Raul was later named to succeed him.

BOONEVILLE — Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Campus Country shook up the local music scene in the fall when it shifted its traditional Saturday Showtime dates to Thursdays. Northeast’s Campus Country wants to keep fans moving tonight with its February Showtime. Curtain rises on the Showtime at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free to Northeast faculty, staff and students with a current college identification card and is only $5 for the general public. “The spring semester is when I allow the group to branch out a little bit more,” said director Chris Dunn. “At this point, everyone has months of experience and we can tackle more ambitious songs and arrangements.” One way Campus Country keeps fans coming back to shows is by mixing up the set list and the February Showtime is no different. As members of the group enter their second semester of the year, Dunn allows them more freedoms and grants the ensemble a chance of adding their favorite songs to the set list. “Although we still play a lot of material from the country music catalog, the group members really enjoy when we add a pop or rock song into the set list,” Dunn stated. “I think our audience appreciates it as well. We’ve been garnering much higher levels of Northeast student attendance this year.” From mainstream hits to Campus Country member written songs, tonight’s Showtime has it all. One of the big name draws from the set list for the upcoming Showtime is a tune by

Grammy-award winning artist Sam Smith as the ensemble puts its spin on the hit “I’m Not the Only One.” Smith just captured four of the top awards at the 57th annual Grammy Awards by taking the Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album of the Year honors. “One of my favorite things about a group like Campus Country is how quickly we can cover new music. We’ve been playing ‘I’m Not the Only One’ for a few weeks already,” Dunn said. “It just worked out that Smith won so many awards shortly before our Showtime. It was also great to see Paramore win Best Rock Song for ‘Ain’t It Fun’ and Carrie Underwood win Best Country Solo Performance for ‘Something in the Water’ as we played both of those songs on our December Showtime.” Other points of mention come in the middle of the set list as Campus Country is slated to perform one of its own member’s songs, “Going On,” by Ben Ricketts. Ricketts, an electric guitarist from Corinth, is best known for his unique blend of pop and electronica but has taken the microphone for Campus Country before when performing “Something,” by The Beatles, during the final Showtime of the 201314 academic year. Campus Country will also honor its traditional music heritage when the band breaks out the banjo and upright bass toward the latter portion of the show as the group continues with band member contributions to the set list with Mumford and Sons’ “Little Lion Man.” “A relatively new tradition in Campus Country is giving the band members an opportu-

nity to take over on lead vocals on any song of their choosing in the spring semester. I really enjoy Ben’s music and we’re playing one of my personal favorites from his catalog,” Dunn explained. “Rusty (Robbins) decided to take on ‘Little Lion Man,’ which is the perfect opportunity to showcase a different instrumentation for the group. Blake (Huffman), our lead guitarist, just recently began learning the banjo. And although I’ve played upright bass for years, I actually haven’t played it with Campus Country yet. To my knowledge, this will be the first time in some years to see an upright bass during a Campus Country performance.” In addition to Sam Smith’s “I’m Not the Only One,” Rickett’s “Going On,” and Mumford and Sons’ “Little Lion Man,” the February 19 Showtime includes nearly 20 additional songs from a myriad of musical genres such as Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban’s “We Were Us,” Citizen Way’s “How Sweet the Sound,” and Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered.” Northeast’s Campus Country will also play country favorites such as “Your Side of the Bed,” by Little Big Town and a pair of Rascal Flatts hits, “Let It Hurt” and “I’m Moving On.” Keying on its female vocalists, Campus Country has also scheduled LeAnn Rimes’ “Nothin’ Better to Do,” Gretchen Wilson’s “I’m Here for the Party,” Carrie Underwood’s “Undo It,” and the soulful sounds of Sara Evans’ “I Could Not Ask For More.” “Since I’ve taken over as director, I’ve had such great female vocal talent,” Dunn said. “They can sing anything from the powerful to the soulful. They also do

a great job of singing songs traditionally performed by male vocalists which helps keep our set lists varied.” Hunter Hayes’ “I Want Crazy,” Lucy Angel’s “Stripes” and Gloriana’s “Trouble” all make their initial appearances on the Campus Country set list for the February Showtime as well. Campus Country will pick up the tempo with “Brick by Boring Brick,” by Paramore and then throw it back to the early part of the 21st century as Nine Days’ “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” rocks Seth Pounds Auditorium. After picking up the tempo, Northeast’s Campus Country will finish with a trio of heartfelt pieces such as “I’m Going Home with Jesus,” by The Crabb Family, “Go Rest High on That Mountain,” by Vince Gill and Jeff Buckley’s “Hallelujah.” Buckley’s version of the Leonard Cohen song has been featured in a variety of hit television programs like “The West Wing,” “Scrubs,” “House,” “Cold Case,” “ER,” “Ugly Betty” and “Criminal Minds” and was featured as one of Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time.” “Jeff Buckley was such an amazing talent and I’ve always been a big fan of his version of ‘Hallelujah’, so I was really excited when Michaela asked to sing it,” Dunn said. “I’ve heard it covered by many different artists and bands, but I’ve never heard a version quite like ours. Nolan (Hill) and I came up with some really cool grooves for it and the singers have just been nailing it. It’s a very dynamic and wellrounded arrangement. It’s the perfect song to end a show.” Campus Country will complete its 2014-15 Showtime schedule on Thursday, April 16.

Some universities adding student activity charges BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Four of Mississippi’s public universities are likely to begin charging student activity fees this fall, moving further away from the state’s onetime policy of tuition including all charges. The College Board on Wednesday approved Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi to add $5-a-semester fee, and for Jackson State University and Mississippi Valley State University to add $10-a-semester fees. Board members must approve the fees again later. The board also gave final approval Wednesday for Delta State University to begin charg-

ing a $50-a-semester facilities fee, joining the Mississippi University for Women, Ole Miss and MSU. Facility fees began in fall 2013, changing the policy of generally charging for only tuition, room and board. The universities say student groups need more money. Delta State plans to spend facilities money on renovations and upgrades. Higher Education Commissioner Bounds said student government presidents first made the request. Students at MSU, Valley and JSU have voted in referenda to support the increases. Davis Rogers, president of Ole Miss Associated Student Body, said that the money would be

used to increase funding for student groups, late-night programming, and outside speakers paid for by students. “Currently our universities have hundreds of student organizations and not enough funding to fund them,” Rogers told the board. “It’s difficult for them to make an impact with the small amount of money they have.” The fees are projected to generate an additional $155,000 a year at MSU, an additional $201,000 a year at Ole Miss, an additional $190,000 a year at JSU and an additional $44,000 a year at Valley. In each case, the money will be used to increase funding, not replace money currently being spent. JSU Student Government As-

sociation President Keonte Turner said that students and administrators would not discriminate among the viewpoints of groups in handing out the money. Rising college costs at Mississippi’s eight public universities have far outstripped increases in family income in recent years. MSU Student Association President Brett Harris said the proposed fees are lower than at many universities. “We wanted to make sure this isn’t creating a financial burden for students,” Harris said. Delta State expects to generate $300,000 from its facilities fee. Additional universities are expected to add facilities and student fees in the near future, officials said.

Corinth, Miss.

Convicted killer catches another appellate break STARKVILLE — News that the state Supreme Court has granted convicted quadruple murderer Willie Jerome “Fly” Manning of Starkville a new trial in two of those murders rocked this community this week. Emotions for and against Manning’s journey through the appellate process in the two murder cases runs high. The inmate’s supporters take heart from his recent victories in the courts. The law enforcement community and those Sid Salter who remembers his victims are angered by the rulings. Columnist Manning’s sojourn has been anything if not dramatic. In 2013, Manning came perilously close to meeting the executioner as punishment for the 1992 murders of Mississippi State University students Jon Steckler and Tiffany Miller. Manning got an 11th-hour stay of execution on an 8-1 decision by the state’s highest court after issues were raised by Manning’s attorneys challenging the testimony of FBI agents regarding ballistics and hair analysis used to convict him in the Steckler-Miller murders. At the same time, statements by state Attorney General Jim Hood, District Attorney Forrest Allgood and former Oktibbeha County sheriff Dolph Bryan that Manning’s conviction was based on substantially more evidence than those issues were ignored by the majority of the court. Or at the very least, the state’s high court had a rather sudden change of heart. That 8-1 state Supreme Court ruling to stay Manning’s schedule 2013 execution came less than two weeks after the same court ruled 5-4 on April 25, 2013, that there was “conclusive, overwhelming evidence of guilt” presented to an Oktibbeha County jury during Manning’s original trial. It’s been over 20 years since Steckler and Miller were murdered on Dec. 11, 1992. Manning was convicted of murdering the two students in 1994. According to trial transcripts, the young couple was last seen alive in the early morning hours of Dec. 11, 1992, outside of Steckler’s fraternity house near the campus. The couple left the house around 1 a.m. in Miller’s car. At 2:15 a.m., Steckler’s body was discovered in the right hand lane of a county road. Near his body, authorities found a gold token, three shell casings, and a projectile. Steckler’s injuries were consistent with having been run over by a car at a low speed. Miller’s body was discovered in the nearby woods. She had been shot twice in the face. Miller’s car was discovered in front of an apartment building nearby. On the pavement near the driver’s side door, coins were found as well as a ring identified as belonging to Miller, all about 100 yards away from Miller’s residence. The damning evidence against Manning was his own attempt to sell certain items belonging to his victims. In the period between the time Steckler and Miller were killed and when Manning went to trial and was convicted for their murders, he was accused of a second grisly murder. Less than six weeks after the students were killed -- on the evening of Jan. 18, 1993 -- elderly mother and daughter Emmoline Jimmerson and Alberta Jordan were found dead in their Brooksville Gardens apartment. Police found no signs of forced entry, and the apartment was not ransacked. Both women had been beaten about the head, and their throats were slashed. Manning appeals in the Steckler-Miller murders remain unresolved. Now, Manning gets a new trial in the Jimmerson-Jordan murders. Former Starkville police chief David Lindley told The Columbus Dispatch in 2013 his recollections about the murders of the two elderly women: “Lindley said Manning knew the mother and daughter, Emiline Jimmerson and Alberta Jordan, and beat them to death before he slit their throats and took a small sum of money. “They were very nice women, just sweet little old ladies,” Lindley said. “He beat them to death with a laundry iron and then cut their heads almost off. He slaughtered them for very little money.” Manning’s criminal record goes back to the mid-1970s, when he was broke into a store in an attempt to steal a motorcycle. “Fly” was six years old at the time.

Prayer for today Lord God, I pray that I may not rest my hope in self alone, but know that the greatest joy is in the hope of the world. Help me to have faith in mankind; and with a loyal heart and a brave spirit be as kind to the world as I can. Amen.

A verse to share “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” — 1 Corinthians 10:13

The Olympian pose of Vox Obama The world will little note, nor long remember, the interview the liberal “explanatory” news site Vox conducted with President Barack Obama. It was notable only for how perfectly it matched man and the medium. The president has had plenty of worshipful media coverage, certainly back when “hope and change” wasn’t so risible. But none has ever been so in keeping with his own self-image and pose as the dispassionate, above-it-all paragon of reasonableness. The Obama of the Vox interview is the only rational guy in town. Vox Obama is a nonideological devotee of facts. Vox Obama speaks in dulcet tones. Vox Obama has data sliding beside his face to prove his points! Vox called the video clips of its interviews “films.” They had dramatic cutaways and soothing music, as well as cute gizmos and other supporting material flashing on the screen to illustrate the wisdom and correctness of everything Obama said. The videos could have been produced by a naively progressive Leni Riefenstahl, provided she believed in the totemic power of tables and graphs. “I’ve seen,” Jack Shafer observed in his assessment

for Politico, “subtler Scientology recruitment films.” The conceit of Vox Rich O b a m a Lowry making his sagacious National Review o b s e r v a tions from an impossible height of data-driven Olympian purity is ridiculous. President Obama is obviously – although word hasn’t reached him yet – a grubby politician like any other. The Vox interview landed as former Obama strategist David Axelrod’s memoir hit the shelves with the “news” that prior to coming clean in 2012, President Obama lied when he said that he opposed gay marriage. Axelrod relates that after one “awkward” public exchange over his faux position, Obama complained, “I’m just not very good at bull---ing.” Don’t be so hard on yourself, buddy. Obama lied quite ably. His lines on marriage were as superficially reassuring and sincere as when he said that if you like your health-care plan you can keep your health-care plan, or any of the other dishonesties integral to the Obamacare

debate. Now, for someone paying very close attention, the president’s statements were never credible. He said he favored gay marriage on a 1996 questionnaire, and his administration soon did all it could to unravel the legal basis of traditional marriage, even while the president professed his devotion to it. It’s quite rich to have Axelrod write a book titled “Believer,” wherein he reveals a deception by the man we’re all supposed to believe in. The president, Axelrod explained on “Morning Joe” the other day, was merely trying “to square” his real view with public opinion, and he was “frustrated” that he had to deceive. The implication is that the president’s lies are forgivable because it is so hard for Vox Obama to exist in a fallen political world. Obama, after all, is a pragmatist who has to deal with the opposition of rank dogmatists. Back in 2009, Axelrod deemed Obama “a committed, practicing nonideologue.” Days prior to his first inaugural, Obama called for “a new Declaration of Independence,” to leave behind “ideology and small thinking.” This from a man who was about to use every

ounce of power afforded to him by unified Democratic control of Congress to pass the leftmost legislative agenda feasible. We are supposed to believe that more spending, taxes and regulation is just what common sense dictates – always and forevermore. The nonideologue pose is a long-standing part of progressivism’s intellectual marketing strategy. As Jonah Goldberg writes in his book “The Tyranny of Cliches,” “Pragmatism is the disguise progressive and other ideologues don when they want to demonize competing ideologies.” Vox Obama loves the disguise. He professes his deep-held belief in nothing other than the facts, but he ignores ones that are inconvenient. He advertises his own reasonableness, yet considers the opposition almost by definition illegitimate. He assumes the mantle of pragmatism, although he has fixed philosophical beliefs that won’t give way no matter what. For all his self-styled thoughtfulness, Vox Obama is closed-minded and small.

Hiding our pleasures My New Orleans friend Johnny keeps trying to pull me into the spirit of Carnival, with all of its debauchery and abandon, and I desperately want to oblige. Something about my uptight upbringing reels me back every time. With Johnny inviting me to great parades and parties, not to mention the Mississippi Coast’s assortment of Mardi Gras galas, I have had every opportunity to embrace a tradition completely alien to my childhood. Most fun was alien to my childhood. In Montgomery, Ala., where I grew up, we didn’t know Mardi Gras from Marty Robbins. It might as well have been a pagan ritual on Mars. Oh, there was plenty of drinking and dancing and what-naturally-evolvesfrom-dancing going on – don’t get me wrong. But we Baptists were adept at hiding our sins, keeping the booze in the car trunk and the rest out of the city

streets. It has been my goal for years to stray as far from that hypocritiRheta cal stance Johnson as possible. Which is Columnist why, at this late date, I’m trying to get together a gypsy girl costume for the New Orleans Saint Anne parade. John swears it’s the best walking parade there is. I own some black boots and a scarf, so I figure I’m halfway to looking exactly like Esmeralda – or at least her grandmother. Why, oh, why did I wait to get to this age to go to a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade? When I was 16, Esmeralda would have been a walk in the park – or the Bywater. Now that I’m 62, the challenge is enormous. I’ve always loved costumes and dressing up as someone else. I was lucky to be a kid before Hallow-

een was deemed dangerous and of-the-devil. Even we Baptists went door to door begging, not a big leap from proselytizing. This was long before you could drive to the nearest discount store and find a ready-made-in-China costume. We had to come up with our own. One year I’d go as a hobo, the next a princess. Hobo, princess, the same seamless rotation went on for years. The princess look appealed to me the most, but it was much easier to navigate the dark streets as a hobo. Now I’m trying to channel my Princess Past in preparing my gypsy costume. I never won the best costume award at the elementary school’s carnival, but that didn’t much matter. What mattered was my belief that I should have. The judges simply got it wrong. I felt lovely and royal. It was a bit of method acting before I’d ever heard of

the term. If you feel like a princess, you look like one. Maybe the same will hold for Esmeralda. As fate would have it, Ted Turner decided to televise “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” last week. I got a good look at Maureen O’Hara, the beautiful redhead, as the loose and limber Esmeralda. Every man in Paris was in love with her. Ah, the inspiration. With my healthy imagination, a lot of makeup, a dirt cheap skirt and a wig, this thing is going to happen. By the time you read this, I’ll have danced in the streets at my first-ever Mardi Gras parade, in costume, albeit a timid one. If the Esmeralda gig doesn’t work, next year I’ll go as the Hunchback.

Man sells watch for $35,000 profit PHOENIX — A watch collector spotted a rare Swiss timepiece in a Phoenix secondhand store, bought it on sale for $5.99 and then sold it for $35,000. Zach Norris said he went to a Goodwill store in January to look for a golf cart but took some time to peruse the watch section. Norris said he was excited when he recognized the 1959 JaegerLeCoultre diving watch “I’ve found some stuff in the past that I have been really excited about and stoked, but this is one of those things you’re like, ‘One day, one day it will happen,’ and it happened for me,â€? Norris told the TV station. Â

Biden’ odd moves give leaders pause WASHINGTON — Here’s the thing about impromptu moments in politics: Often they work, sometimes they fall flat, but occasionally they turn out downright awkward. Vice President Joe Biden learned that the hard way Tuesday — twice. Hosting a White House summit on violent extremism, Biden sought to draw a parallel between Minneapolis, where local leaders are working to prevent radicalization of Somali youth, and his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, which Biden said also has a “large, very identifiable Somali community.� “I might add, if you ever come to the train station you may notice that I have great relations with them, because an awful lot of them are driving cabs, and are friends of mine,� Biden said. His audience — a group of religious and community leaders, many of them Muslim or of African descent — responded with muted, uncomfortable chuckles as Biden continued without skipping a beat. “For real. I’m not being solicitous, I’m being serious,� he said. To some, the observation smacked of a well-publicized gaffe that then-Sen. Biden made in 2006, when he

told an Indian-American supporter that in Delaware, “you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.â€? Â

Bush: Brother made ‘mistakes’ in Iraq CHICAGO — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Wednesday that “there were mistakes made in Iraqâ€? during his brother’s administration, offering the critique during a wideranging speech on foreign policy that comes as part of his run-up to a likely presidential campaign. Speaking to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, Bush said during a question-andanswer session after his speech that intelligence about Saddam Hussein’s possession of weapons of mass destruction was not accurate, and the U.S. initially failed to create an environment of security in the country after removing the Iraqi leader from power. But Bush praised former President George W. Bush’s decision to “surgeâ€? troops into Iraq in 2007, which added roughly 20,000 troops to the American forces in the country in an effort to improve security. He called it “one of the most historic acts of courage politicallyâ€? of any president. Â

Police say Afroman struck fan on stage BILOXI — Rapper Afroman punched a female fan on stage during a concert and was charged with simple assault, police said. Afroman, who is best known for his Grammynominated hit “Because I Got High,â€? was arrested Tuesday night and his show in Biloxi show was canceled. He was later released after posting $330 bond, said Biloxi Police Chief John Miller. A video posted online showed a girl dancing next to Afroman as he was playing guitar and him punching her, knocking her off her feet. The 40-year-old rapper, whose real name is Joseph Foreman, apologized on his Facebook page and later told TMZ that two girls had been dancing on stage and a man had been heckling him throughout the show. He said he thought the girls had left the stage, and when someone bumped him, he thought it was the man. “I thought it was that guy,â€? he said. He said the early show during Mardi Gras gave him anxiety and he didn’t have time to eat dinner and “medicate, get right.â€? Â

Cash kept at pump staying in pockets WASHINGTON — In recent months, the stage seemed set for American consumers to do what they’ve traditionally done best: Spend money — and drive the economy. The lowest gas prices in five years had given people more spending money. Employers added over 1 million jobs from November through January, the best threemonth pace in 17 years. Businesses even raised pay in December. Economists had forecast that last week’s retail sales report for January would show a healthy rise. And yet — to the surprise of analysts — consumers have held their wallets closely. Even though Americans spent $6.7 billion less at gas stations in January than they had two months earlier, the extra cash didn’t get spent anywhere else: Retail sales, excluding gas, fell slightly from November to January.

public schools will get another year where they get to keep high grades even though test scores indicate lower ratings. In a news release Wednesday, the state Department of Education said that federal guidelines include a “pause� in state grading systems for one year because of the switch to new tests in most states. The grades that were assigned in Mississippi last fall had a similar provision, where grades only changed if schools improved, because the state was using its old tests even though schools had switched over to teaching material based on the Common Core State Standards. Officials have warned that they expect scores to drop sharply under the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers

State Auditor Stacey Pickering says the case is one of poor bookkeeping dating back to 2007. Pickering says said the money will likely be placed in a fund set up by a judge for those who lost it including the State of Mississippi and the county. Pickering says between August 2007 and January 2013, Witt’s office failed to settle money in a timely manner that was collected for redemption of delinquent taxes in property tax sales.

No relief: Cold lingers over much of country The Associated Press

Low temperatures gripped much of the South, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Wednesday, freezing and refreezing snow and ice and making roads hazardous for those who’d ventured out. In many areas, the cold was expected to stay for days. The refreeze has already played out over and over in New England,

where mountains of snow are piled high. Here’s a look at how people are handling the weather:

Rush hour warnings In the Baltimore-Washington region, officials urged commuters to leave early and avoid a snowy rush hour. Forecasts called for a possible 1 to 2 inches of

21st Century Headlines #1 It seems that everywhere we turn these days, folks are concerned about the state of our society. Whether in the larger cities, or smaller towns, or even in rural America, there are abuses of every sort, burglaries, shootings, stabbings, bank robberies--- and the list goes on and on. Government leaders and concerned citizens’ groups gather for town hall meetings and they like express their concerns over the out-of-control situation. What has happened in our country and in us as individuals to bring us to this condition, and what can really be done to help? The root of our problems and therefore the solution is not political, though it will impact our political views. It is not our socio-economic status, though it may impact that part of our life, nor is it in the color of our skin, though it will most assuredly affect our relations with one another regardless of our color. First of all, we must return to God’s law and a Biblical standard of morality. In Romans 1:28 Paul said to the Gentile world, “they did not like to retain God in their knowledge.” Verses 21 and 22 point out that they “know God”, yet “glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened” and “professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” What follows in verses 28-32 is a long and ugly list of sins that sounds like they were lifted right out of our newspaper headlines. Since the early 60’s there has been an orchestrated, concerted, and obvious move away from God’s name and His law in our land, and if we look at the available data, there has been a marked increase in crime and corruption, including, but not limited to the murder of the innocents. (Roe vs. Wade 1973). No mere lip service will suffice, but a genuine repentance at the individual level and a determination to accept the authority of God and the Lordship of Jesus Christ as set forth in scripture. To be continued next week. You are invited to study and worship with us at the Danville Church of Christ.

snow between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., with low visibility, high winds, and falling temperatures. Combined, that can make for slick roads and dangerous driving conditions. Transportation officials say it’s bad timing for a snowstorm.

Toilet snowplow Talk about a pooper scooper. A man in suburban Washington, D.C., attached a plow to the motorized toilet, which he had already made for a

parade this past summer. David Goldberg of Rockville, Maryland calls the contraption “Loo-cy,” and it comes complete with a toilet paper stand and a magazine rack. Goldberg posted a YouTube video of himself sitting on the commode while plowing about 4 inches of snow Tuesday in front of a hardware store he owns in Bethesda, Maryland

site that suggested potential visitors should go to the Florida Keys? Well, its website crashed. Bruce Stoff of the Ithaca-Tompkins County Convention and Visitors Bureau says nearly 150,000 views crashed the site on Tuesday afternoon. On Sunday, Visitithaca. com posted images of Key West and provided links to Florida Keys websites. The site said, “We surrender” and “Winter, you win” and suggested that a visit to Key West was a better option than frozen central New York. The upside: Stoff says his office fielded numerous inquiries about tourism in upstate New York.

Don’t jump Boston residents overwhelmed by massive snowfalls the last month have been recording videos of themselves jumping out of windows and into snowbanks, and Mayor Marty Walsh wants them to cut it out. Walsh chastised thrillseekers who’ve been filming themselves performing the frosty feat and then posting the videos on social media websites Walsh says, “It’s a foolish thing to do, and you could kill yourself.” He said Monday the stunts are dangerous as city workers struggle to clear snow-clogged streets and deal with snowbanks 10 feet high.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Crossroads Magazine - 2015 Medical Guide will be in the Daily Corinthian on Saturday, Feb. 28. You don’t want to miss Staff Writer/Photographer Zack Steen’s feature story about Leonard Pratt, M.D.

Compulsive shoplifter knows it’s wrong, but just can’t stop D E A R ABBY: I need help! I have shoplifted several times. I was caught and have a police Abigail record. I am Van Buren aent.grandparI know it’s wrong, Dear Abby and I don’t do it all the time. Is this a mental disorder, or am I just being stupid? If I know this is wrong, why do I keep doing it? And where do I start to look for help? -- STICKY FINGERS DEAR STICKY FINGERS: Some people shoplift because they are criminals, some do it for “thrills,” and others do it to make up for something else that is missing in their lives. Because you know what you are doing is wrong, would like to understand your compulsion and want to stop, the person to discuss this with is a psychologist. Your physician can refer you to one, or contact your state psychological association to find someone in your area. DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend and I have called it quits after three years. Distance was the main reason. It wasn’t a bad breakup, but it’s still a difficult transition for both of us. She

would rather we not see or speak to each other for a while to let things heal. Her birthday is coming up soon, and I don’t feel right not acknowledging it. Her special day means a lot to her, and I still love and respect her for who she is. Is sending a card and gift appropriate, or should I just leave her be? -- DISTANCE WAS THE REASON DEAR DISTANCE: Send a birthday card and tell her that because the day is special, you couldn’t let it pass unacknowledged. It shouldn’t be necessary to send a gift in light of the fact that you are no longer a couple. DEAR ABBY: My daughter is getting married in September. In June, she’s planning to have a bachelorette party in Mexico. My husband and I have never been to Mexico and thought, “Why not kill two birds with one stone?” Because I’m afraid of flying, I want my husband and son to also go to Mexico, but stay at a different resort. The party is only for three days, so when everyone else goes home, my husband and I will extend our stay. I have gone on girl vacations to Las Vegas before, where my husband has traveled with me and then gone and done his own thing. We would meet up after the girl vacation.

I don’t see a problem with his traveling to Mexico, but my daughter absolutely objects. What do you think? -- NO PROBLEM IN COLORADO DEAR NO: Could this be a telltale warning sign of a budding bridezilla? Your daughter appears to be making a problem where none exists. If your husband and son will stay at a different resort, they might as well be back in the states. That they are in Mexico shouldn’t inconvenience or inhibit your daughter at all. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO MY ASIAN READERS: The Lunar New Year begins today. This year is the year of the goat. People born in the year of the goat are gentle, serene, calm and mild-mannered. They are creative, persevering, resilient and possess excellent defensive skills. They prefer to be in groups and work in teams and, I am told, they can be flirtatious. A happy, healthy and prosperous new year to all who celebrate it. -- Love, ABBY Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you fight with yourself, at least fight fair! In the latest youon-you battle, only one of you will be left standing. The good news is that this transformation probably won’t be painful, just awkward. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your eyes are open to a clearer, faster, more direct way to happiness. Tonight, those close to you will benefit from your wave of crazy generosity. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). For your life to be happy, it must be full. And for your life to be full, it must be happy. Therefore, the most important move to make in the name of living a full life is the one you believe will bring the most happiness. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In Internet-speak, NSFW translates to “not safe for work.” You may feel that your entire mood isn’t safe for work today, as you would like to tell a lot of people how you really feel. However, your self-control will be rewarded.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When people make you mad, and they will, try to stay calm. It’s fine for you to be angry, but you’ll lose your power and status if you show it too much. One strategy that works is simply walking away. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Attractive solutions abound. Sometimes things look good because they are good. Just because something has a pretty sheen to it doesn’t mean you should automatically be suspicious. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Seize the opportunity to explore your talents. This is best done by trying new things without a worry or care about who is watching or what they’ll think. You’ll make friends along the way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Today’s activities will not be what you would normally consider cause for celebration. And yet, you’ll celebrate them anyway. That’s what makes you awesome. Someone new will want to join in with all of that fun

you’re having. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). All it takes is one sound decision to usher more love and money into your life. It’s not a hard one to make, but it does require humble learning and the tenacity to see this cycle through to the final stages. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a weird way of working through things, and you should trust that however different it may be from the way others do it, it’s still a good way for you. You’re an original, you know! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You deal with life according to how you feel about it at the moment, and there will be several moments of the day that are highly charged. Emotional distancing may be in order. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The new people coming into your life have no idea who you are, so feel free to playfully create an accurate picture for them. You’ll do quite a lot in the name of fun!

Wal-Mart’s latest quarterly earnings are projected to fall from a year earlier. The retail giant issued a lower-than-expected fourth-quarter profit outlook in November, citing the impact of fierce holiday discounting. Wal-Mart reports financial results today. Besides earnings, investors will be listening for an update on the company’s new financial service, which allows customers to pick up their tax refunds in cash at its stores.

pet. For instance, the consumer products giant, Colgate-Palmolive, generated $2.2 billion in revenue from its pet nutrition products in 2013. That represents 13 percent of its sales. And J. M.

Many investors probably don’t know which companies stand behind the goods and services they use to care for their family

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I have been married to “Bob” for 11 years. Once we had our son, “Jack,” everything changed. Bob found excuses not to be home, worked all kinds of overtime or had to “go somewhere.” I can count on one hand the times he did anything with Jack or was even home on a weekend during our son’s first five years. Jack is now 8 and has no real relationship with his father and no desire for one. When he was little and asked where Daddy was, I covered for Bob, but now that Jack is older, he knows what’s what. The kid is no dummy. Things continue to get worse. Bob accepts no responsibility for his son. He makes nearly twice my salary, but won’t give me a dime toward Jack’s clothes, shoes or school supplies, let alone birthday presents, although he wants his name on the gifts. He even tries to get out of paying for groceries and babysitters. Bob pays the mortgage and the taxes. Everything else is my responsibility. I carry Jack on my health insurance. I also don’t like to leave Jack alone with his father. If anything goes wrong, Bob blames Jack and ends up hollering at him for ridiculous things like forgetting to turn off a light or not wanting to go to the

Annie’s Mailbox store with him, and then lays a guilt trip on the boy, saying, “Don’t you want to spend time with me?” I have tried talking to Bob about this. I tell him it is the parents’ responsibility to make time for their children, not the other way around. He refuses counseling, saying he doesn’t need anyone to tell him how to raise his kid. Jack already has anger issues and acts out. I am ready to give up on our marriage. Bob and I are more like roommates than spouses. Any advice? -- Sinking Ship in Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: Bob withholds funds for the support of his family and either neglects or yells at his son. These things can be interpreted as forms of abuse. Bob has no interest in counseling because he has no interest in being a better father. Sometimes leaving this type of situation is healthier than staying. Please get counseling for yourself and for Jack and decide your best course of action.

Dear Annie: I’ve been dating “Joe” for a year. We are both divorced parents. My children are in college, and Joe’s 17-year-old daughter lives with him. “Tawny” is a nice young lady, but she relies on us to provide her with a social life. Tawny attended one semester at a nearby community college. She was fired from her job and basically sits at home all day. She rarely does housework. I understand that she is bored and lonely and have suggested she do some volunteer work to get out and meet people. Joe is as frustrated as I am. He has spoken to Tawny about it, but nothing has changed. I don’t mind including her in our plans once in a while, but she expects to go everywhere with us and has attitude if she’s not invited. She even follows us from room to room. Joe has asked me to move in with him, but I don’t want to end up resenting Tawny and creating problems with our relationship. -- Help Dear Help: Please do not move in with Joe. Instead, suggest that Tawny get counseling for what could be depression and to help her gain focus. That girl needs guidance, and Joe isn’t providing it.

Summers trying to find game down stretch BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

Mississippi’s Jarvis Summers is struggling through his senior season while dealing with a variety of nagging injuries and a wayward shooting touch that have kept his production well below last year’s levels. Yet the Rebels — for the most part — continue to win. Coach Andy Kennedy said that’s a testament to the senior point guard’s willingness to do other things — distribute the ball and play good team defense — and a deep roster that has taken more of the scoring load.

“If you would have told me, with the type of year statistically that Jarvis has had, that we would be sitting here right here right now (with this record), I would have said you have lost your mind,” Kennedy said. “But we’ve just got more guys. I think this group is deeper and more versatile.” But for Ole Miss (17-8, 8-4 Southeastern Conference) to achieve its goal of making the NCAA tournament for the second time in three years, Kennedy knows it would help if Summers found his shooting touch during the final three weeks of the regular season.

The Rebels travel to face rival Mississippi State (12-13, 5-7) on Thursday. The Bulldogs have won five of their last nine after starting conference play with three straight losses. The 6-foot-3 Summers is the SEC’s active career leader in scoring with more than 1,500 points and was superb last season as a junior, scoring 17.3 points per game while shooting nearly 49 percent from the field. But those numbers are down dramatically this season — 13 points per game and 35.1 percent shooting. He’s had a few good mo-

ments — like 23 points in an overtime loss to No. 1 Kentucky and 22 points in the first meeting against Mississippi State — but he’s been mostly relegated to a role player. Stefan Moody leads the team with 17.5 points per game during conference play. Kennedy said the physical issues Summers dealt with early in the season have mostly disappeared. Now it’s just a matter of regaining confidence. Summers has scored in double figures just once over the past five games and Please see SUMMERS | 11

Injuries robbing SEC women’s teams of stars The Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Southeastern Conference women’s basketball race is turning into a battle of attrition. When Tennessee center Isabelle Harrison tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee Sunday, she joined Kentucky point guard Janee Thompson and Georgia’s Shacobia Barbee among notable SEC players with season-ending injuries. “It does seem like there have been a few more” inju-

ries than usual, Georgia coach Andy Landers said, “and the ones there have been have been significant.” Injuries will impact teams’ postseason runs. The SEC is trying to earn a berth the Final Four for the first time since Tennessee and LSU got there during the Lady Vols’ 2008 championship season. Texas A&M won the 2011 national title, but as a Big 12 member. Other teams across the country also have endured in-

jury problems. For example, North Carolina forward Xylina McDaniel, the 2013 Atlantic Coast Conference rookie of the year, hasn’t played for the 17thranked Tar Heels since injuring her lower right leg on Dec. 21. Texas, which once was ranked as high as third, has tumbled out of the Top 25 since losing forward Nneka Enemkpali to a torn ACL. But the SEC has been hit particularly hard. “Is that maybe just because

we’re such a physical conference?” Tennessee forward Cierra Burdick asked. “I don’t know. That’s tough to say. We’ve taken some hits. But I think great teams take hits and they keep moving forward and they bounce back.” No. 2 South Carolina (24-1, 12-0 SEC) has stayed pretty healthy in its quest for a second straight conference title, but other schools haven’t been as fortunate.

Rotation iffy as Cardinals begin spring training The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals dealt starting pitching, seemingly an area of strength, to fill a sudden void when promising outfielder Oscar Taveras died in a car accident. Jason Heyward strengthens a lineup that underperformed last year and takes over the right field spot the Cardinals had been saving for Taveras. Heading into spring

training, the rotation seems just a bit iffy. The two-time defending Central Division champions are accustomed to making deep October runs, with 11 postseason appearances the last 15 years. Still, a team can’t have enough arms this time of year. Michael Wacha is coming off a shoulder injury that sidelined him most of the second half of the season and will

be monitored closely. Carlos Martinez is an unknown as the replacement for departed Shelby Miller. “We’re giving Carlos a great opportunity, but opportunity is just that,” manager Mike Matheny said. “You’ve got to make the most of it.” Lefty Jaime Garcia feels strong, for now, following surgery to relieve nerve compression. Even ace Adam Wainwright

arrives with a bit of baggage. Though the procedure was deemed minor, the 20-game winner is coming off elbow surgery for an injury that at the end of the NL championship series left him unable to flip the pop top on a can of soda. Wainwright, too, will be scrutinized coming off yet another heavy workload. Please see CARDS | 11

Knicks’ Anthony to have season-ending knee surgery The Associated Press

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Carmelo Anthony will have season-ending surgery on his left knee. The New York Knicks announced the decision Wednesday. President of Basketball Operations Phil Jackson said a timetable for Anthony’s recovery couldn’t completely be determined until after the surgery, but early indications were that he could be back on the court in four to six months, which would have him ready for training camp. Jackson said he anticipated

the procedure, which will include a left knee patella tendon debridement and repair, would be performed this week. “It’s obvious that he physically can’t do the things that he’s capable of doing, so this is a necessary step for him to take, I think, in order for him to get to the level that he’s capable of getting to,” coach Derek Fisher said. Anthony has had pain for most of the season but continued to play despite the Knicks’ league-worst 10-43 record. He was able to start in Sunday night in the All-

Star Game at Madison Square Garden but appeared to be struggling, scoring 14 points on 6-of-20 shooting. Jackson said he talked to Anthony last month, after he had missed six straight games, about scheduling the surgery — though said the Knicks were comfortable with Anthony taking part in the All-Star Game. “I had a meeting with him when we were in London and we discussed this process of having the surgery sooner than later,” Jackson said, “because we know that the process can

take some time for rehab and getting back on the court and we wanted him to be able to make a full recovery and be ready for this coming season.” Anthony did not speak to reporters Wednesday. He finished his 12th NBA season averaging 24.2 points and 6.6 rebounds in 40 games. The two-time Olympian turned 30 in May, two months before signing a fiveyear, $124 million contract in July, but Jackson said he was confident the former scoring champion would make a full recovery.

missed a potential gamewinner on Saturday in a 71-70 loss to Arkansas. It was a 12-foot jumper in the lane that’s usually right in Summers’ comfort zone, but it bounced off the back of the rim just before time expired. “Physically, I think he’s in a good place,” Kennedy said. “I just think we’d all like to see the ball go in. And if it did, he would be back to the Jarvis we’ve all come to know.” In the meantime, the Rebels have received production in different areas. Moody, a junior college transfer, has improved as the season’s progressed and

become the team’s leading offensive option. His go-ahead 3-pointer with less than 10 seconds left lifted the Rebels over Florida last week. A surprisingly productive frontcourt has been consistent during conference play. M.J. Rhett, Sebastian Saiz, Dwight Coleby and Anthony Perez have combined to average about 25 points per game and all four are shooting at least 50 percent from the field. “If (Summers isn’t) making shots — that’s why we’re a team,” Moody said. “The rest of the team has to pick it up, not just an individual person.”

nessee (22-3, 12-0) lost its leading scorer and rebounder Sunday when Harrison tore her ACL in a 72-58 victory over No. 11 Kentucky, which was ranked 10th at the time. Tennessee forward Jasmine Jones, who started six of the Lady Vols’ first 11 games, also is out for the season with concussion-related symptoms. Tennessee announced before the season it was redshirting reserve center Mercedes Russell due to foot problems. The Lady Vols host Alabama (13-14, 2-10) on Thursday before visiting South Carolina on Monday in a game that likely will determine the SEC regular-season champion. Lady Vols coach Holly Warlick wants her team to respond the way it did against Kentucky.

“I haven’t heard anybody feeling sorry for themselves or saying, ‘We’re in trouble,’ “ Warlick said. “They’re fighters. After Izzy went down, I thought we fought. We very easily could have folded our tent and got home, and we took it to another level, a level that I haven’t seen all year.” Missouri (14-12, 4-9) has lost point guard Lianna Doty to a torn Lisfranc ligament and forwards Kayla McDowell and Bri Porter to torn ACLs. Kentucky (19-6, 8-4) has been playing without Thompson since she dislocated her left ankle and broke her fibula Jan. 11. Makayla Epps has averaged 20 points per game since taking over as Kentucky’s starting point guard, helping the Wildcats go 5-3 in Thompson’s absence.

CARDS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10

Lance Lynn and veteran John Lackey are proven innings eaters who’ll help in that department. Still, don’t be surprised if the Cardinals need some of their surplus arms like lefties Marco Gonzales and Tyler Lyons. “We have to be very, very aware of what we see. And if something has to cause us to take a break, I believe we have some great options,” Matheny said. The first workout for pitchers and catchers is Friday with the first fullsquad workout set for Feb. 25. Things to watch for this spring: Clutch bats: The average with runners in scoring position plummeted last year, and the offense dropped about one run per game. Among the potential tweaks is shifting Kolten Wong to leadoff and moving two-time All-Star Matt Carpenter down in the order to capitalize on power potential. “I don’t remember ever being part of a team that had to grind like we did last year,” Matheny said, “where every game was that close, where everything hinged upon one play, one pitch right down to the last out.”

Better bench: Matt Adams has struggled against left-handed pitchers and might have to split time with slugging Mark Reynolds, the top upgrade on the bench. The team has vowed to live with Reynolds’ high-strikeout, low-average profile for the power tradeoff. St. Louis trailed the National League with 105 home runs last season. Outfielders Peter Bourjos and Randal Grichuk, both of whom started at times last season, further strengthen Matheny’s options. Bullpen shuffle: Jordan Walden, also acquired in the Atlanta deal, is penciled in to replace departed Pat Neshek as the set-up man for Trevor Rosenthal. Another offseason pickup, Matt Belisle, figures to help in long relief or as a spot starter. Besides ability, Matheny is counting on both to add veteran presence. Selling Heyward: The Cardinals have a history of persuading newly-acquired players to stick around longterm. Mark McGwire, Scott Rolen and Jim Edmonds, to name a few, all said yes to the nightly unconditional love at Busch Stadium that’s part of the package.

Browns coach: Manziel in ‘better place’ The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Browns coach Mike Pettine said Wednesday he believes quarterback Johnny Manziel is in a “better place” since entering a treatment program earlier this month. Manziel, his family and the team have not said why he sought help. Pettine did not provide any additional details about the reasons, citing privacy concerns, and that there was no timetable for his return. But on the first big day of this week’s NFL scouting combine, Pettine said he visited the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner last week. “He’s in a much better place now than when he went in,” Pettine said. “He’s very determined to come out of it in a much better way.” That might be the best possible news for Cleveland, which has used 22 different starting quarterbacks since the franchise returned to the league in 1999. Manziel came to last year’s combine with the reputation of a big-time playmaker and a frequent partier, a combination that scared away some wary teams, but Cleveland chose “Johnny Football” with the No. 22 overall pick. He looked unprepared and overmatched in his first career start, throwing two interceptions in a 30-0 loss to Cincinnati. The next week at Carolina, Manziel injured his hamstring on a running play before halftime. He didn’t play again. Manziel was fined later by the Browns for missing a medical treatment before the season finale at Baltimore. After apologizing to Cleveland’s fans and his teammates for being a distraction, he promised to change. Over the next couple of days, photos of Manziel appeared on Instagram, showing him in a Houston nightclub and in Aspen, Colorado -- all before choosing to enter treatment. Pettine was sked if the Browns make a mistake in vetting Manziel. “I think we had the same information everyone else in the league had,” he said. “It turns out to be a deeper-rooted thing than we thought.”

Pettine said it was Manziel’s decision to seek help and that he and the team fully support the effort. Manziel is only part of the Browns’ offseason mess. Leading receiver Josh Gordon has been suspended again for violating the league’s substanceabuse policy and will miss

the entire 2015 season. NFL officials also are investigating whether general manager Ray Farmer broke the rules by sending text messages to the Browns sideline during games. “I wasn’t thrilled about it,” Pettine said when asked about his initial re-

action to the texts. “But Ray and I have had a very clear conversation about it, and he apologized not only to myself but others in the organization.” Pettine added: “We’re waiting for the league to hand down the punishment, and we’ll accept whatever it is.”

Texas A&M rallies for 68-62 win over LSU Tigers The Associated Press

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — When Kourtney Roberson was asked if he was more pleased with scoring 16 points for Texas A&M or holding LSU’S Jordan Mickey to just six, the smile that spread across his face at the mention of Mickey’s name answered the question better than any words could. “I think the key was getting Mickey out of his game and slowing him down,� Roberson said. Danuel House scored 20 points, including a pair of key free throws late, and

Texas A&M rallied for a 68-62 win over LSU on Tuesday night. Mickey entered the game leading the Tigers with 17.1 points and 10.8 rebounds a game. He managed just four rebounds to go with his six points in dealing with a suffocating rotation of defenders led by Roberson. “His defense sparked it,� Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy said. “To limit them to 62 says a lot about what he did defensively.� Texas A&M (18-7, 9-4 SEC) trailed by eight points with 12 minutes left before using a big run

to take the lead. Then the teams exchanged the lead several times before a three-point play by Roberson put A&M up for good, 64-61, with less than two minutes remaining. Jarell Martin made 1 of 2 free throws for LSU before an A&M charge gave the Tigers the ball with 53.9 seconds left. Jalyn Patterson missed a jump shot in the lane and the Tigers had to foul. House made a pair of free throws and Jalen Jones added two more to secure the win. Martin’s 13 points led LSU (18-8, 7-6),

which missed its last seven shots. “Down the stretch, those guys made some tough plays in the end when it counted,� LSU coach Johnny Jones said. “We just didn’t execute enough plays to get out of there with a victory.� A 3-pointer by Tim Quarterman gave LSU a one-point lead with about 5 minutes remaining, but the Aggies scored the next three points to regain the lead at 61-59. Martin sunk a pair of free throws with 2:31 left to tie it up before Roberson’s play.

Texas A&M used a 12-0 run to erase an eight-point deficit and take a 54-50 lead with about nine minutes remaining. House got hot to lead the Aggies in that time and scored eight points, highlighted when he drove in the lane and made a layup as he was fouled and fell hard to the ground. Josh Gray finally broke their scoring drought with a layup with 8:41 left. That was the first of six straight points for LSU to put the team up by two points. In the first half, the Ag-

gies led by four before using a 10-3 run to extend their lead to 21-10 with 11 minutes left. House had two 3-pointers in that span, and his second one came on an off-balance shot that swished through the net as he crashed to the court. Jones made a free throw for A&M before the Tigers went on another run.

Up next: LSU: Hosts Florida on Saturday. Texas A&M: Visits South Carolina on Saturday.
