Alcorn residents hospitalized after crash

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Two Alcorn County residents were hospitalized following a collision in the Glen community.

Alcorn County Sheriff’s Office received the call about a crash

on County Road 352 at 3:29 p.m. on Monday.

According to investigating officers, the tan Ford Mustang driven southbound by George D. Harville II, 21, of Glen, collided head-on with a dark blue

Nissan Altima driven by Alison N. Wadkins, 19, of Iuka.

Both drivers were injured.

Wadkins was airlifted to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. Harville was transported via ambulance to Mag-

nolia Regional Health Center.

Judging from the tire marks on the road, it appeared the Mustang was traveling on the wrong side of the road at the time of the accident, said Deputy Caleb Marolt, one of the investigating officers.

TISHOMINGO — A Tishomingo police officer was seriously injured in a highway crash Saturday.

According to the Mississippi Highway Patrol, Officer Timothy W. Williamson, 47, of Iuka, is in serious condition with nonlife-threatening injuries at the Regional Medical Center in Memphis. He was initially taken by air ambulance to North Mississippi Medical Center and later transferred to the MED. The crash happened about 8:45 p.m. as Williamson, who was on patrol, was westbound on Mississippi Highway 30 near Mississippi Highway 25 in a 2006 Crown Victoria when an eastbound 2008 Nissan Altima crossed into the westbound lane and collided with the patrol car.

Joseph H. Kain, 21, of Burnsville, was the driver of the Altima. He was also taken by air to NMMC-Tupelo with serious but nonlife-threatening injuries. He was not wearing a seat belt.

The police officer was buckled and was removed from the vehicle by extrication.

MHP is investigating whether alcohol contributed to the crash.

Corinth sales tax collections rise

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth’s share of sales tax collections rose slightly this month as the fiscal year nears the midpoint.

The city received $542,836.64 in the mid-February deposit, an increase of 3 percent, or about $16,000, from the same month a year earlier. Two years ago, the month’s total was $556,037.77.

February usually brings the largest monthly total of the year, as its deposit reflects sales activity during the December Christmas shopping rush.

The increase was enough to take the year-to-date total from a slight loss to a slight gain in year-to-year comparisons, with $2.27 million, an increase of three-tenths of a percentage point.

The statewide trend was slightly positive.

Collections across Mississippi totaled $37.98 million, rising

1 percent from a year earlier.

Among 11 area municipalities, five posted gains and six had decreases.

The 2 percent tourism tax managed a slim increase of about four-tenths of a percentage point as it generated $79,798.85. Overall, its growth continues to outpace that of sales tax, with a yearto-date haul of $419,063.30, up 3.6 percent.

Other mid-February sales tax diversions to municipalities from the region: Booneville — $162,842.34 (-2%); Burnsville — $12,569.12 (-2%); Farmington — $4,215.90 (-22%); Glen — $1,648.60 (-21%); Iuka — $64,871.41 (-1%); Kossuth — $4,111.16 (+11%); Rienzi — $2,895.58 (-14%); Ripley — $115,555.91 (+3%); Tupelo — $1,898,407.49 (+3%); Walnut — $17,485.25 (+2%).

Sales tax figures are from the Mississippi Department of Revenue.

LINK art project Corinth High School art students and Corinth Elementary School third-graders teamed up recently to begin an art project. The elementary students were bused to the high school, one class at a time, where they were met by CHS Art Teacher Lynn Haynie and her students. While there, each elementary student was assisted by a high school student to create a small bowl from circles of clay. The younger students were able to pick out various stamps to decorate their bowls and make them uniquely their own. After allowing them to dry, Haynie and her students have fired the bowls in the high school’s kiln. The third-graders will eventually be able to paint them using a glaze and then the bowls will be fired again to give them a ceramic finish. The entire project is administered locally by LINK (Lead Inspire Nurture Kids) in an effort to bring more art activities into the schools in the Corinth and Alcorn districts. According to LINK President Laura Gilham, art teachers and local artists are recruited to work for at least one class period with the third-grade students at each of the six elementary schools on a visual arts project of some type. The project is part of LINK’s Arts Infusion program called “A Celebration of the Visual Arts,” and commonly referred to as the Artists in the Schools program.

Three arrested in multiple slayings in Memphis Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis police say they

have arrested three suspects in a killing spree that lasted two months and left

Turn from Evil Many are aware of the crimes and destruction that goes on in our town – communities – state and in all parts of the world. As the population grows – 7 billion plus, so does the wickedness grow. As we read our Bible, we learn about such in the past.

It is not a pretty picture. All kinds of wickedness is practiced openly. Many have lost the awareness of evil...just do not care.

Such does not make it right. We must look at all kinds of evil through the eyes of God – the Bible. Study – learn – obey to please God and to save our soul. The wise will take note and turn away from wickedness and to turn to God in obedience to His will.

How would you describe our world today? How would God look upon our community and all other parts of the World? We must allow God to identify and describe sin and its consequence.

We must not approve the things that God condemns. “The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous – but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” - I Peter 3:12. “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation – trials – and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgement to be punished” - II Peter 2:9.

Righteous exhaults a person – community or nation. Why should anyone want to turn from the Lord’s ways? Sin is a reproach – disgrace to all. We can learn from the Old Testament, valuable lessons.

The nation of Israel had turned away from God. The priest, spiritual leader. Turned away from God. How sad! The many religious leaders turn people away from God. How sad! Please read your Bible then you will know. The Lord sent Hosea to identify the way – word – of His people and issued a call to genuine repentance. “Hear the word of God, ye children of Israel; for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing and lying and killing and stealing and committing adultry, they break out and blood toucheth blood – violence prevails” - Hosea 4:1-1. Why would Israel want to live in such a way-ward-way? The reason is: “My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge; because thou has rejected knowledge – reverance – respect for God and His word – I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me; seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” - Hosea 4:6. That is God’s word.

four people dead. Another suspect is being sought.

The victims included a former Memphis police officer and an oil refinery worker.

Those arrested include Michael Dean, 24, Ashley Carver, 22, and Lewis Gibson, 21. All three were in custody Sunday on charges of first-degree murder and police said more charges were expected.

Online records for the Shelby County Detention Center did not list an attorney for any of the suspects.

Police said they were questioning Dean about the slaying of former Memphis officer Charles Jones when he told them details of the other killings.

“The suspects have proven that they are dangerous and reckless and have no regard for human life,”

car, the driver sped off.

Police were able to determine that the car the suspects were in, a 2002 Lexus, belonged to a former officer named Charles Jones, whose burned body was found Friday in Jackson.

Jackson police identified the driver as 18-yearold Demetreous Santiago and issued a warrant for his arrest.

before her father’s birthday celebration.

Evetts later moved to Kenosha, Wis., where he worked as a janitor in two hospitals before his retirement. After retiring, he moved back to Rienzi, where he resumed work-

ing with the soil as he had so many years before.

Evetts loved working with flowers, noted his daughter.

Evetts’ love for flowers — and hats — is wellknown to his caretakers at the Mississippi Care Center, which has been his home since July 18, 2006.

“He’s wonderful. He’s the sweetest, cutest little thing, and he always wears a hat,” Lacy Taylor, the unit manager for Evetts’ hall at the Care

Center, told the Daily Corinthian before the birthday celebration. “He loves unique hats. You do not see him when he does not have a hat on.”

Workers at the facility called Evetts “Pop.” In addition to his daughter, survivors include a son, Cecil Evetts of Russellville, Ala., eight grandchildren, 19 greatgrandchildren, 27 greatgreat grandchildren and a great-great-great grandchild.

School honors longtime basketball scorekeeper get my approval, but Chris is a good man and I appreciated him coming to talk to me.”

The present McNairy County Mayor, Ashe said he could not estimate how many games he has worked over his 54 years as scorekeeper. He remembers one stretch before school consolidation that he worked four straight weeks of county, district and regional tournaments.

While he has seen many good players during his tenure, he says McNairy Central’s Neal Walker and Marilyn Gilchrist were the two best players he saw play in the Roundhouse.

Walker and Gilchrist are still the school’s alltime leading scorers.

The most memorable moment for him came when his daughter Cynthia Ashe Droke sank two free throws with three seconds left to help MCHS beat county rival Adamsville.

“Coach Jerry Lott had suspended two players for that game and Cynthia came through to hit the game-winning free throws,” Ashe said.

A pair of region tournament games sticks out as the most memorable for Ashe. The Lady Bobcats defeated North Side in a six-overtime marathon in 1983, and the Bobcats beat Chester County in a three-overtime thriller in 1996.

Ashe laughed and said he had one disagreement with a referee over the years when the official called a foul on a player that was not in the game.

“I told him the player was sitting on the bench and could not have fouled, but he would not change his call,” said Ashe. “The bad thing is it was her fourth foul of the game!”

McNairy Central gave Ashe a plaque and a $200 gift certificate to show their appreciation for all of his years of dedicated service to the school’s basketball teams.

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — A labor of love and dedication to West Tennessee high school basketball for over half a decade was the reason that McNairy Central High School recently honored Wilburn Gene Ashe.

Ashe retired last year after serving 54 years as official scorekeeper for McNairy Central and the now defunct Selmer High School.

Ashe began his career as a fixture at the scorer’s table when he became a teacher at Selmer High in 1957. He laughed and said his pay for that night was getting in the game free.

While he did get paid $15 a game during the last few years at McNairy Central, Ashe does not remember when he started getting paid for his work. He will never pay to get in any future MCHS athletic event as a token of appreciation for his service to the school, according to MCHS Athletic Director Danny Day. “Wilburn Gene was very good at his job and I never had to worry about our scorekeeper,” said Day. “He had the respect of the officials and other coaches. He is my friend and has been very good to McNairy Central.”

Ashe made the decision last year to give up the duties of being the team’s scorekeeper at home games. He was replaced by Chris Whitten.

“I still enjoyed doing it, but I just felt it was time to let one of the younger people do it,” said Ashe. “I told Coach Day that I thought Chris would be a good one to do it. I did not want it to get to a point where someone would say ‘get that old man out of here!’”

Ashe said it meant a lot to him when Whitten came to him to make sure he wanted to retire before he would take the job.

“He did not have to

Corinth, Miss.

No quick fixes to our economy JACKSON — Stick around the Mississippi Capitol for a while, listen to a few briefings about finances, education levels and health statistics, and see if you can maintain a sunny, optimistic outlook about Emily the state’s economic future.

Wagster It’s not easy.

Pettus Mississippi has long been one of the poorest states in the Capitol Dome union.

Barring some miraculously good luck for this state, or a horrible turn of events for others, it’s hard to see the day when Mississippi will sit atop many favorable national rankings.

“Throughout entire decade through the 2000s, the economy really struggled,” state economist Darrin Webb told lawmakers in January. “We think this has to do with our lower human capital. We have less educated people than other states, we have less healthy people than other states, we have a very high rate of unwed motherhood. We think all that plays a role in this.”

He’s not the only one who’s noticed these things, of course.

Many of the issues are linked inextricably with poverty in a chicken-and-egg sort of way. Which came first? It’s hard to tell.

Politicians have been saying for generations that they want to improve Mississippi’s education levels.

While school officials point out that Mississippi’s standardized test scores have improved in many areas, so have the scores for many other states. Mississippi is chasing a moving target.

The state Department of Health and the Mississippi State Medical Association issued a report in mid-January showing that the state ranks at or near the top of lists for bad health indicators — infant mortality, high blood pressure, tobacco use and obesity.

High blood pressure, illnesses from smoking and side effects of obesity can be expensive to treat, and they can hamper people’s productivity.

Before ending his second term as governor in January, Republican Haley Barbour said he thinks the high rate of out-of-wedlock births is the state’s single biggest challenge, because children born in such circumstances often are more likely to live in poverty and are more likely to drop out of school.

Republican Phil Bryant, who became governor Jan. 10, has asked the state Department of Human Services and the state Health Department to come up with suggestions to reduce the teenage pregnancy rate. They’re scheduled to report to him by the final week of February.

During the economic briefing in January, Webb said Mississippi has a higher-thanaverage dependence on government transfer payments as a source of income. The transfers are government payments to individuals through Social Security, disability, welfare or unemployment. The 2010 statistics: ■ In the U.S., 64.8 percent of income was derived from earnings; 16.8 percent came from dividends, interest and rent; and 18.5 percent came from transfer payments.

■ In the Southeast, 64.7 percent of income was from earnings; 16.1 percent came from dividends, interest and rent; and 19.1 percent came from transfer payments.

■ In Mississippi, 60.8 percent of income was from earnings; 13.1 percent came from dividends, interest and rent; and 26.1 percent came from transfer payments.

In early February, state Treasurer Lynn Fitch told the House Ways and Means Committee that Mississippi is well below its constitutional debt limit, and it has a record of consistently making its monthly debt payments on time. It also has a strong bond rating.

Committee Chairman Jeff Smith, R-Columbus, asked Fitch what Mississippi could do to improve to its bond rating, which would reduce the long-term cost of borrowing money. Fitch said that might be difficult because ratings agencies don’t like to see a high poverty rate.

“They consider our low education level, too,” Fitch said, because that can affect the state’s overall earnings potential.

Prayer for today Amazing, loving Father, you are worthy of all glory, honor and praise. You have suffered immensely for our sake. We accept your love and offer ourselves to be transformed by it.

In Christ’s name. Amen.

This time, however, event that lit the fuse on the

things have become decidedly more complicated.

Instead of being one large group, persons claiming personal religious motivation in choosing a favorite candidate can be roughly divided into three subgroups.

These are the Catholics (the nation’s largest denomination), the traditional Protestant denominations and the increasingly independent Evangelicals that were identified earlier by Rove.

Would that the growing religious debate would be as simple as pegging the position of these groups. The issues that are being focused upon are largely related to women’s health issues.

That has energized female voters across all three religious categories. The effort

by GOP candidates to outdo one another in moving to the right on the political spectrum has served to turn up the temperature.

Catholic Rick Santorum, who is breathing down the neck of presumed frontrunner and Mormon devotee Mitt Romney, has come under particular scrutiny.

Numerous past statements in which he has voiced opposition to birth control in any form have come to light. Furthermore, in a recent speech, Santorum expressed opposition to insurance coverage for sonograms during prenatal care.

His reasoning was these procedures created the ra-

tionale for abortions when problems were detected.

Perhaps a bigger question than even the outcome of the 2012 elections is this: “What will be the status of the church once the smoke clears?” No battle of this magnitude is ever fought without winners and losers.

The Hartford Theological Seminary has conducted the Faith Community Today Survey series of America’s Congregations. This survey series was conducted over the decade culminating in 2010. Among the problems discovered in the surveys were, “a steep drop in financial health, continuing high levels of conflicts, aging memberships, fewer persons in the pews and decreasing spiritual vitality.”

Will the church’s increasingly fragile state enable it to survive if it becomes intertwined in the political process? The advice of our elders appears to have an abundance of merit. Not only do religion and politics represent difficult topics but, when mixed in the same high stakes contest the combination is absolutely volatile.

nian sense, intrinsically unAmerican.

Consider what it is these people are saying. They are saying that a respected publisher colluded with me to produce a racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic book, and CNN, Fox News, C-SPAN, Fox Business News and the 150 radio shows on which I appeared failed to detect its evil and helped to promote a moral atrocity.

If my book is racist and anti-Semitic, how did Sean Hannity, Erin Burnett, Judge Andrew Napolitano, Megyn Kelly, Lou Dobbs and Ralph Nader miss that?

How did Charles Payne, African-American host on Fox radio, who has interviewed me three times, fail to detect its racism?

How did Michael Medved miss its anti-Semitism?

Documented in the 488 pages and 1,500 footnotes of “Suicide of a Superpower” is my thesis that America is Balkanizing, breaking down along the lines of religion, race, ethnicity, culture and ideology, and that Western peoples are facing demographic death by century’s end.

Are such subjects taboo?

Are they unfit for national debate? So it would seem.

think the ideas that (Buchanan) put forth (in his book) are appropriate for the national dialogue, much less on MSNBC.” In the 10 years I have been at MSNBC, the network has taken heat for what I have written, and faithfully honored our contract.

Yet my four-months’ absence from MSNBC and now my departure represent an undeniable victory for the blacklisters.

The modus operandi of these thought police at Color of Change and ADL is to brand as racists and anti-Semites any writer who dares to venture outside the narrow corral in which they seek to confine debate.

All the while prattling about their love of dissent and devotion to the First Amendment, they seek systematically to silence and censor dissent.

I know these blacklisters.

They operate behind closed doors, with phone calls, mailed threats and offthe-record meetings. They work in the dark because, as Al Smith said, nothing un-American can live in the sunlight.

State Politicians pay to get secrets on

BY BILLY WATKINS The Clarion-Ledger

JACKSON — Matt Eichelberger, a 34-yearold attorney, has lived next door to Michael Rejebian in Jackson for four years.

“We hang out some, but I never really knew what he did for a living,” Eichelberger says. “About all I could tell you about Michael is that he likes tequila.”

The secret is out.

Rejebian, 53, and Alan Huffman, 56, of Bolton are the authors of the new book “We’re With Nobody,” which details their 18-year journey in the world of opposition research — being hired by a political candidate to uncover true secrets the opposition would desperately like to keep buried.

“Two guys traveling the country in a rented Hyundai,” Huffman laughs.

“That’s us.”

They will sign copies of their book at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Lemuria Books in Jackson.

“It was kind of shocking when I found out what Michael does,” Eichelberger says. “I didn’t even know he was interested in politics. But he’s good at what he does. I’ll call him now when I’m working on a case and say ‘I need to find this, tell me where to look.’

And he knows exactly where to go.”

Huffman and Rejebian have worked for more than 100 politicians — none of them, or their opponents, named in the book. “We didn’t want to do a ‘tell all’ but rather a ‘tell how’ book,” Rejebian says.

And they’re comfortable having their cover blown.

“I guess some might call it a calculated risk to do this,” Huffman says. “But let’s face it, we’re really not famous. Just because we’re going to be on The Daily Show and even if our book does well, it’s not like everybody in courthouses across America are going to recognize us. Truth is, most people know what’s

happening when strangers walk in and say ‘I’d like to see the tax records for so-and-so for the past 15 years.’ Nearly every candidate has opposition research done now.”

They worked together as reporters at The ClarionLedger during the 1980s.

“That was our training ground for what we do now,” Huffman says.

“Things that it would take most people a month to find, we can do it in a day.

What we’re doing now is really not much different than being a reporter. Instead of shipping your information, or story, to an editor, we ship it to a campaign and don’t get a byline.”

Scott Boyd, editor and publisher of The Beacon in Macon, worked with Huffman and Rejebian at The Clarion-Ledger.

“I’ve always admired their passion for seeking out the truth,” Boyd says.

“And the book is great — how they do it, why they do it and all the characters

they have encountered along the way.”

They don’t view themselves as “dirt diggers.”

“If people are going to pass laws that affect our country and states, then people deserve to know the truth about who they really are,” Huffman says. “We aren’t going to make anything up. So we say all the time, ‘If you’ve got nothing to hide, then you have no reason to fear us, because all we’re looking for is documented truth.’

“We’re not going to go into, say, the fact that a politician’s wife has been in recovery for alcoholism — unless that candidate is running on a platform that directly relates to that.

I don’t think we do much more than what most high school football coaches do every week, and that is scout the opponent.”

The book title comes from a line they have uttered hundreds of times.

“If people are going to pass laws that affect our country and states, then people deserve to know the truth about who they really are.”

Alan Huffman information on someone, it’s almost inevitable the person behind the counter is going to say ‘Now ... who are you with?’ And we always say ‘We’re with nobody,’ “ Huffman says.

“I’ve actually pointed at Michael on a few occasions and said ‘I’m with him.’

They usually just kind of stand there for a second, then go get the records we are looking for.”

They continue to be amazed at what people will share with them.

“I had the ex-wife of a candidate tell me that he hit her in an airport,” Rejebian says. “Well, we can’t just take her word for it.

So I called security at that airport and asked the guy who answered if there

had been a report filed on the incident. He called me back about an hour later and said, ‘Yeah, there is a report on this.’ It doesn’t always happen that easily, but you just don’t know what people will reveal unless you ask.”

Rejebian, a divorced father of two children, says their research method begins on the Internet.

“It’s notoriously unreliable, but it’s a starting point,” Rejebian says.

“Then we go to where the candidate lives. We go to the courthouse and check every document possible.

We check campaign contributions, their personal voting record, we check to see if they voted because I think that tells the public a lot.

Folk art society defends its ‘Oskar’ award Associated Press

WARSAW, Poland — Few would confuse the glitz of the Academy Awards with a ceremony held by a folk arts society in Poland, but Hollywood doesn’t want anyone else handing out Oscars.

So the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sci-

ences is demanding that Poland’s Association of Folk Artists stop giving out what it calls the “People’s Oskar.”

Waldemar Majcher of the Association of Folk Artists said Monday the dispute is the result a misunderstanding.

But he also questioned Holly-

wood’s demand.

Majcher said the “People’s Oskar,” was named after Oskar Kolberg, a 19th-century Polish ethnographer who wrote some 10,000 Polish folk songs. Still remembered and respected in Poland, Kolberg died in 1890.

Obama takes tougher stance on higher ed

BY KIMBERLY HEFLING Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Access to college has been the driving force in federal higher education policy for decades. But the Obama administration is pushing a fundamental agenda shift that aggressively brings a new question into the debate: What are people getting for their money?

Students with loans are graduating on average with more than $25,000 in debt. The federal government pours $140 billion annually into federal grants and loans. Unemployment remains high, yet there are projected shortages in many industries with some high-tech companies already complaining about a lack of highly trained workers.

Meanwhile, literacy among college students has declined in the last decade, according to a commission convened during the George W. Bush administration that said American higher education has become “increasingly risk-averse, at times self-satisfied, and unduly expensive.” About 40 percent of college students at four-year schools aren’t graduating, and in twoyear programs, only about 40 percent of students graduate or transfer, according to the policy and analysis group College Measures.

College drop-outs are expensive, and not just for the individual. About a fifth of full-time students who enroll at a community college do not return for a second year, costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars annually, according to an analysis released last fall by the American Institutes for

Research.

There’s been a growing debate over whether postsecondary schools should be more transparent about the cost of an education and the success of graduates. President Barack Obama has weighed in with a strong “yes.”

During his State of the Union address, Obama put the higher education on notice: “If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down,” he said. “Higher education can’t be a luxury— it’s an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.”

He wants to slightly reduce federal aid for schools that don’t control tuition costs and shift it to those that do. He also has proposed an $8 billion program to train community college students for high-growth industries that would provide financial incentives to programs that ensured their trainees find work. Both proposals need congressional approval.

At the same time, the administration is developing both a “scorecard” for use in comparing school statistics such as graduation rates as well as a “shopping sheet” students would receive from schools they applied to with estimates of how much debt they might graduate with and estimated future payments on student loans.

American’s higher education system has long been the backbone of much of the nation’s success, and there’s no doubt that a college degree is valuable. It’s now projected that students with a bachelor’s degree will earn a million more dollars

over their lifetime than students with only a high school diploma, Education Secretary Arne Duncan says.

But Obama’s statement to Congress jolted the higher education establishment, which believes that college isn’t just to create foot soldiers for industry and that the use of measured outcomes would hurt the humanities, meaning fewer students will turn to Shakespeare and instead study engineering, said Anthony Carnevale, director of the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University. The community has already been reeling over an earlier administration decision to require career college programs — many of which are at for-profit institutions — to better prepare students for “gainful employment” or risk losing federal aid.

“It’s the notion that the ...federal government will begin to say we want to know what we’re paying for and we want to make sure that people don’t pay for education programs that take them nowhere, especially if the program is supposed to get them a job, we want it to get them a job, Carnevale said.

Some fear that Obama might want to apply the “gainful employment” standards to traditional four-year degree programs. Robert Moran, director of federal relations at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, said reporting requires time and resources, and it’s even more difficult to gauge the success of a graduate with an English degree than someone with a very specific career certificate.

time, I finally had purpose and direction. My final job lasted 17 years.

I don’t mean to suggest “Wants to Enlist” suffers from the same disorder, but it deserves some consideration. — B.P.D. IN TENNESSEE DEAR ABBY: Once a job became routine, I lost interest. Eventually I found my way to higher education and a position where there are always new challenges. I now have a long-term and successful career.

Perhaps this 19-yearold should consider attending college even part-time — to satisfy her intellect while preparing for a more varied and challenging future. — BEEN THERE IN LAS CRUCES, N.M.

DEAR ABBY: “Wants to Enlist” may want to be tested for ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). For many years, I was misdiagnosed with a variety of mental health issues.

Then my husband read an article about adult ADD. After checking with my doctor, I was put on medication to see if it would help. I cannot tell you the difference it has made in my life. I’m calmer, happier and have more confidence than ever.

I hope this young lady will look into what might be causing her behavior because she will see how wonderful she is.

— HAPPIER NOW IN FLORIDA DEAR ABBY: I also had difficulty settling down in one place. My

solution was to become a traveling health care worker. I work for a contracting agency that sends me on three-month assignments all over the country. If I don’t like a facility, I know my time there will end soon.

There are local contracting agencies in larger cities if you don’t want to pack up and move. This job has been the answer to my dreams! — TRACY IN KINGWOOD, TEXAS

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s something you really want to do, so it’s a little odd that you have to talk yourself into

it. A good you-to-you talk in the mirror will do the trick to psyche yourself up for what you have to do.

Horoscopes by Holiday

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS The new moon hides under the surface of the Piscean sea. Instead of shining her light in the sky, she illuminates the dark waters of the soul.

With Neptune and the sun in Pisces, as well, the focus will be on our belief systems, especially the unconscious structures that so often go undetected until illustrated in our circumstances.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll meet people with whom you are compatible and also extremely similar in sensibility, values and experience.

Enjoy the feeling of belonging that comes with this connection.

TAURUS (April 20May 20). You may look back, but you will not stay back. You’ll assess what

the problem was yesterday, and you’ll decide that from now on things will be different. You have the courage of your convictions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You talk to people because they interest you, not because you want to make a sale. And yet, interacting successfully with others will broaden your financial horizons.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have the rare gift of being able to be completely objective about yourself. You’ll correctly evaluate your behavior to see whether it’s helping or hindering you, and you’ll assess what needs to change.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

The real you has nothing to do with the needs and insecurities, fears and foi-

bles by which you define yourself. There’s a secure and fearless self inside.

You’ll feel the presence strongly today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). English author and fellow Virgo Samuel Johnson said, “The future is purchased by the present.” You’ll be so aware of the possible repercussions of your actions that you’ll move extremely slowly and thoughtfully.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can’t change certain circumstances that govern your family life.

People did what they did, and the results are somewhat inevitable. What you can change is your attitude. You’ll make beauty out of the past.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). You have a talent for fixing things. Part

of your secret is that you act immediately, which is most often the best moment for mending. You know there’s no time to waste in getting angry with yourself or anyone else for what went wrong.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Success goes to those who dare to act.

So does failure. You’re likely not quite ready to take your chances. You’re right to hang back and study what’s working for others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You get the feeling that you’ll do your best work alone, and that’s absolutely correct.

But you still need people.

Try to be a part of a group, if only for a short amount of time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You can read

MSU trying to recover from skid Associated Press

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State’s once-promising season has been quickly derailed by a surprising threegame losing streak.

Now conversations about a deep run in the NCAA Tournament have suddenly turned into a debate if the Bulldogs (19-8, 6-6 Southeastern Conference) can make the tournament at all.

And things don’t get any easier when No. 1 Kentucky (26-1, 12-0) comes to town on Tuesday night, bringing its 18-game winning streak and multiple NBA prospects to Humphrey Coliseum.

“I’ve seen a lot of Kentucky teams and this may be as good as I’ve seen,” Stansbury said.

While Mississippi State

can’t be considered as talented as Kentucky, the Bulldogs do have a roster that comes closer than many others. Arnett Moultrie, Renardo Sidney, Dee Bost and Rodney Hood are all scoring in double-figures this season and many of them harbor professional aspirations.

Kentucky usually brings out the best in Mississippi State. The teams have split the past six in the series, with two of the past three going to overtime.

“They have the talent on the team. No one’s questioning it,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said. “I’m not. I’ve watched them. I think they’ve got a bunch of really good players, and any of them can go off at any point.”

But the Bulldogs haven’t

played well of late, losing three close games to Georgia, LSU and Auburn.

That’s a trio of SEC teams that has a combined 13-23 league record. The Bulldogs weren’t terrible in any of the losses — losing two of them in overtime — but that hasn’t done anything to soften the frustration. Stansbury was certain he had the talent and leadership to recover from the unexpected skid.

“I have confidence in us, that’s for sure,” Stansbury said. “Guys, it’s a fine line.

We wouldn’t have even been thinking about having these conversations if we make one more play in two games.

That’s what a fine line it is.

There’s two games we lose in overtime — it’s one play.”

While Mississippi State is

struggling, Kentucky is not.

The Wildcats have won nine of their 12 league games by double-digits.

Anthony Davis, a 6-foot-10 freshman, leads a young, talented roster with 13.9 points, 9.7 rebounds and 4.9 blocks per game.

Mississippi State’s got some talented big men as well, especially if Sidney is able to play after missing Saturday’s loss to Auburn because of back spasms. Senior guard Dee Bost said Sidney expects to play — and his wide 6-10, 285-pound body would certainly be useful if the Bulldogs want to pull off the upset.

“It’s very obvious against a Kentucky team that’s as talPlease see MSU | 9

Braves report with mostly same team Associated Press

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Looking around Atlanta’s spring training clubhouse, Jason Heyward sees most of the same faces that were there last September, when the Braves blew a seemingly comfortable lead in the playoff race.

Now, Heyward and his teammates are eager to prove that was the right call.

As pitchers and catchers got set for their first official workout Monday, the Braves have decided to stick with largely the same group that played so well most of the season — then frittered away

a commanding NL wild-card lead over the last month. The collapse was even harder to take when St. Louis claimed an improbable World Series championship after passing Atlanta on the final day.

“Everyone took it personally,” Heyward said, sitting at his locker Sunday.

Some teams might have opted for a major shakeup, or at least done some fairly significant tinkering. But the Braves, a franchise that always preferred a steady path over headline-grabbing moves, barely touched the roster over the winter.

Unless there’s an unex-

pected trade during spring training, the only significant changes will be rookie Tyler Pastornicky taking over at shortstop for Alex Gonzalez and someone — anyone — moving into the rotation to replace 17-game loser Derek Lowe, who was dumped on Cleveland even though the Braves will continue to pay most of his $15 million salary.

“I’m not surprised,” reliever Jonny Venters said. “I thought we had a great team last year. I know it didn’t pan out at the end of the year the way wanted it to, but we played good baseball most of

the year.”

Rather than shaking up the roster, the Braves are counting on several of the players they already have to put up much better numbers in 2012.

At the top of that list is Heyward, a rookie sensation two years ago and perhaps the most disappointing player in baseball last season. Bothered by an ailing shoulder early on in spring training, the right fielder got all out of whack with his mechanics, then had a meltdown of confidence that resulted in a

Arriving just as the morning sun crept above the horizon, and more than a week earlier than required, Pujols reported to training camp Monday with the Los Angeles Angels, who will pay the three-time NL MVP $240 million over the next 10 years to be the face of their franchise — and to hopefully bring them several World Series titles.

“I’m just really excited to be here, it feels good to be outside,” Pujols said during a news conference held

at a nearby luxury hotel.

“I’ve been training for three months, hitting in a cage in St. Louis, and it feels good to be here for some spring baseball.”

Although only the Angels’ pitchers and catchers had to be at camp this early, Pujols wanted to be there from Day One as well. That’s how the 32-year-old has done it since breaking into the big leagues in 2001 and he wasn’t about to change his routine.

He also felt it was impor-

tant to begin bonding with his new teammates, some of whom were caught staring at him from across the clubhouse.

Driving a black Mercedes still tagged with Missouri license plates, Pujols pulled into the players’ parking lot at 7:15 a.m. There were only a handful of fans waiting to catch a glimpse of the ninetime All-Star, who helped lead the Cardinals to a champion-

Fanning-Otis plans to retire Albert Pujols starts anew with Angels Associated Press

Associated Press

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State women’s basketball coach Sharon Fanning-Otis plans to retire at the end of the season.

Fanning-Otis has a 608-457 record over 36 seasons at Tennessee-Chattanooga, Kentucky and Mississippi State and is one of just 14 women’s basketball coaches with 600 career victories.

Fanning-Otis has won 281 games over 17 seasons with the Bulldogs, making the postseason 11 times, including six NCAA tournaments and the program’s only appearance in the round of 16.

TEMPE, Ariz. — Decked out in Angels’ gear from head to toe, Albert Pujols looked like the same slugger whose swing in St. Louis became as symbolic as the Gateway Arch.

With a halo-topped “A” logo on his cap, Pujols, his massive chest and arms filling out every corner of his red shirt, sat behind a microphone and excitedly announced the start of a new stage of his career.

“Here I am,” he said.

And here he goes.

ANGELS: Albert Pujols feeling as welcome as he would with the Cardinals CONTINUED FROM 8

ship last season before leaving the only baseball home he had known.

Pujols stopped in the equipment room and shook a few hands before heading to the clubhouse, where his locker is flanked by veterans Bobby Abreu and Torii Hunter.

“The guys are awesome,” Pujols said. “They well-received me as soon as I walked in there.”

Shortly after dressing, Pujols made an early request to one of the team’s media relations members.

“Let me take a peak of the ballpark,” he said before walking out a side door for his first look at Tempe Diablo Stadium, the Angels’ spring home, which is sure to be packed with fans throughout March.

It didn’t take long for Pujols to feel like he was part of the club.

During manager Mike Scioscia’s first team meeting, Pujols’ cellphone rang, earning the superstar his first petty fine, which according to a team official, will require him to buy his skipper lunch.

No major league manager had a more productive offseason than Scioscia. Angels owner Arte Moreno spent $320 million in signing Pujols, left-hander C.J. Wilson (5 years, $77.5 million) and reliever LaTroy Hawkins (1

year, $3 million).

Scioscia, entering his 13th season with the Angels, will have the luxury every game of penciling Pujols’ name onto his lineup card in the No. 3 spot and at first base.

“His whole game, not only being a presence hitting in the middle of the lineup, running the bases. He’s an offensive machine,” Scioscia said. “He’s a special player and special players are usually multidimensional, and Albert is.”

MSU: ‘I think we match up well with them,’ Bost said CONTINUED FROM 8

ented as they are that you need everybody you can possibly get,” Stansbury said. “And we don’t just need his body; we need his body to play well for us to have any kind of chance at all.”

MSU also has Arnett Moultrie, a 6-11 junior, who is averaging 16.5 points and 10.8 rebounds

per game. He also leads the conference with 15 double-doubles.

“I think we match up well with them,” Bost said.

“But we’re going to have to play some defense.”

And that’s been an issue. The Bulldogs are giving up more than 71 points per game in 12 conference games and have forced a league-low 100 turnovers.

Mississippi State has

been forced to be less aggressive on defense because of a thin bench, but Calipari said he still expects a tough game on the road against a team that’s been a recent nemesis.

“It’s a great little college town and the whole town shuts down for this game — they’ve been talking about it for months,” Calipari said. “They can’t wait.”

BRAVES: Heyward sharing duties with Matt Diaz CONTINUED FROM 8

hideous .227 average with just 14 homers and 42 RBIs. Things got so bad that Heyward wasn’t even a full-time starter coming down the stretch, sharing the duties with tradedeadline acquisition Matt Diaz and career minor leaguer Jose Constanza.

“This game is hard enough anyway. You’re going to have those spells where you get away from something, where you have those bad habits,” Heyward said. “But not being able to correct it because you’re hurt, well, that’s definitely not a fun game to play. Sometimes you need to push through those things. That’s living

and learning. At the same time, I’m fortunate to go through it at a young age.”

Indeed, Heyward is only 22 years old — hardly washed up after one poor season. If he gets back on track, or at least puts up stats more in line with his rookie year (.277, 18 homers, 72 RBIs), the lineup will look much more imposing than a year ago, when the Braves were able to score in spurts but never found any sort of consistency — especially in September.

From the looks of his chiseled frame, Heyward has gotten himself in the best physical shape of his young career. Now, if he can just rediscover his hitting stroke, which was his main focus during the off-

season.

“I told myself that I needed to start over,” he said. “Go back to your base and really be fundamentally sound. I’m paying a lot more attention to that right now, while trying to regain the feel that I had. I’m trying to go back to something that I already had, which is a good thing. I already had it. I’ve got it. I know what I need to do and how I need to do it. I’ve just got to get back to it.”

With the 25-man roster largely set, the major decisions of spring training will be on the fringes of the pitching staff. Who will be the fifth starter?

Who will take the last one or two spots in the bullpen?
