Lights, action, Jacinto! CPD probe shots

fired at residence

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Police Department is investigating shots fired into an occupied home and an occupied vehicle Monday evening.

Capt. Dell Green said it was reported at 7:10 p.m. in the 1200 block of Buchanan Street. No one was injured.

Green said witnesses re-

ported that a black, four-door passenger car pulled up to the residence, and a black male exited the vehicle and fired multiple shots, striking the home and vehicle. The auto struck by shots was in the driveway of the residence.

No further description was available on the suspect.

Historic courthouse to be used in film

“It’s exciting to me, because I have been doing tours in that courtroom for 30 or more years now.

The court day was a big day, and people would turn out in their best clothes, and it was packed.”

jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

“On the trial date, all seats in the courtroom were filled for over an hour before the opening of the proceedings. Without electricity, the only cooling devices were human hands waving hats and fans vainly trying to stir the stuffy air, saturated with the odor of tobacco and sweat, with faint occasional wafts of an alcohol scent.”

Running Wild Films will come to the Jacinto Courthouse in March to capture that scene for its next movie project, “Blood Country,” a tale of murder set in the small south Mississippi town of Oakdale in Lawrence County in 1884. It is based on true events told in Robert E. Jones’ short story “The Outlaw,

Governor orders another round of budget cuts

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant is making the third round of spending cuts since the budget year started in July, and the fifth round in the past 14 months.

Bryant, a Republican, announced $43 million in cuts Tuesday, saying tax collections remain short of expectations. It is just under a 1 percent reduction for most agencies.

Bryant also said he is moving $7 million out of the state’s rainy day fund. Without that,

cuts would be larger.

He cited state economist Darrin Webb’s report to lawmakers last week that Mississippi has “struggled to gain momentum” since 2000, and that Mississippi’s economy continues to lag behind that of the nation and the region.

“Additionally, the state economist does not foresee an uptick in revenue for the remainder of the fiscal year,” Bryant wrote Tuesday in a letter to the state fiscal officer, Laura Jackson.

The budget started at $6.4 billion, and Bryant had to cut

$57 million in September because of an accounting error made when legislators were writing the spending plan last spring. He cut $51 million in January, and pulled just over $4 million from the rainy day fund. The latest action brings the total to $151 million in cuts during the first eight months of the fiscal year.

Student financial aid and schools for the blind and deaf are exempt from the new cuts.

Also exempt are the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Child Protec-

tive Services and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.

Some programs were exempt from cuts in January, including the school funding formula; courts and prosecutors; and parts of the Department of Public Safety. Bryant said those are being cut one-half of 1 percent in the new round.

“It is tempting to leave things along and hope for revenue collections to improve and offset the shortfall we are experiencing; however, I feel it is imperative that we take action based

on the best possible information available,” Bryant wrote.

“If we postpone spending reductions until later, then state agencies must make relatively larger cuts and will have less flexibility/time to handle the necessary cuts.”

State law requires a balanced budget. Some programs, including the Division of Medicaid, had already requested millions more dollars to pay for their expenses through June 30. Lawmakers have not made final decisions about those requests.

Cigarette, gas tax provisions bill killed 4 slain in home

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — A Mississippi House leader reversed course Tuesday and blocked a bill that could have led to higher gasoline and cigarette taxes.

Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jeff Smith, R-Columbus,

killed House Bill 1733 by choosing not to bring it up for a vote in the full House. The move came a day after his committee passed the bill without having details about it.

The bill had vague provisions that could have been updated later to include tax increases for gasoline or cigarettes.

Smith would not say

what prompted him to reverse course and kill the bill.

Smith brought the House a separate bill Tuesday with $50 million in bonds to pay for local roads and bridges.

House Bill 1732 passed by a wide margin but was held for more debate.

The House also passed House Bill 1734 , which

included $45 million in bonds for Ingalls Shipbuilding and bonds for universities and community colleges. The state had previously pledged three stages of bond money for Ingalls, one of the largest private employers in the state. This would be the third stage.

The bill was also held for more debate.

3rd person sentenced Bill would cut more in cat scalding case industry property tax Associated Press

MOSS POINT — A third person in Mississippi has been sentenced to jail for the scalding of a caged cat in a video posted online.

Police say the cat died after being doused with boiling water in December.

News organizations report a Moss Point city judge on Tuesday sentenced 23-year-old Karmen Coleman to 30 days in jail. She pleaded guilty to rendering criminal assistance by

videotaping the scalding.

On Feb. 7, 24-yearold Laderrick Rostchild was found guilty of aggravated animal abuse, and was sentenced to six months in jail.

His uncle, 43-year-old Larry Rostchild, pleaded guilty to simple abuse and was sentenced to 30 days in jail.

Judge Keith Miller ordered each of the three to do 200 hours of community service. The men must do theirs at the local animal shelter.

JACKSON — Mississippi senators want more industrial projects to qualify for property tax breaks.

Senate Bill 2939 , which passed the Mississippi Senate on Tuesday, lowers the threshold to qualify for a fee in lieu of taxes from $100 million to $60 million.

Under such an arrangement, the Mississippi Development Authority negotiates a tax rate as low as one-third of normal taxes, for up to

10 years. The breaks had been reserved for very expensive developments.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Joey Fillingane, a Sumrall Republican, says lawmakers should lower the cap, but isn’t sure of the right level. The bill originally set a $25 million threshold, but Fillingane says that’s too low.

Sen. Angela Burks Hill of Picayune and Sen. Chris McDaniel of Ellisville voted present. All other senators supported the bill.

Pickett. Ward said Kierra Durr’s 3-year-old daughter was not shot and survived.

Demetrus Durr told local media that the victims were his mother, two sisters and his nephew.

“I want to know who did it. Whoever did it, they don’t deserve to live,” he told The Meridian Star.

“Justice is going to have to be served.”

Neighbors suspected something was wrong when no one had heard from the family Tuesday morning.

“Nobody was answering the phone or the door,” said Irene Harrison, who lives nearby on the same rural road.

Police were called and a deputy discovered broken glass. He and a second deputy forced their way inside, finding the bodies.

“This is a shock to everyone,” Harrison said.

Officials worked at the crime scene for hours Tuesday, setting up a tent as they search the property for evidence. Calhoun said the bodies have been taken to Mississippi’s state crime lab for autopsies.

During his presentation requesting $5,000 in advertising funds, Kitaif pointed out that the upcoming rodeo is the first PRCA sanctioned event in the area since 2005.

“We’re the NASCAR of the rodeo business. This [the rodeo show] is what you see in Las Vegas,” said Kitaif. “It is a big undertaking to bring a show of that size.”

He pointed out that he has an aggressive multi-media advertising schedule planned, which is a necessity for an event his production’s caliber.

The board approved $2,000, with an additional $3,000 incentive dependent on rodeo-related hotel room usage. Tourism will give the event $50 for every motel room booked for the rodeo.

JACKSON — A 5-yearold boy and his mother, grandmother and aunt were all shot to death at their home in eastern Mississippi, authorities said Tuesday.

The bodies were found in the community of Toomsuba, near the Alabama state line, and investigators are pursuing “numerous leads,” Lauderdale County Chief Sheriff’s Deputy Ward Calhoun told The Associated Press.

Calhoun said deputies are questioning people, but have no suspects yet.

Officials believe the killings took place sometime Monday night. They didn’t find any signs of forced entry.

“We’re leaning more toward somebody who knows the family or is known by the family,” the deputy noted, saying a random killing appeared unlikely.

The slain were identified as 65-year-old Edna Durr, her daughters Tomecca Pickett, 42, and Kiearra Durr, 27.

Also killed was Pickett’s 5-year-old son, Owen

Johnson said there could be multiple events depending on how many UTV’s are registered. He said that several had already registered for the RZR racing.

Registration will end Thursday at 5 p.m. for the UTV races. The registration is $45 and is broken down as a $20 pit pass and a $25 registration fee. Anyone who registers after Wednesday, Feb. 22, will have an additional $15 late charge added to the registration fee. The only requirements, according to Johnson, is that the driver’s wear helmets and the UTV’s have doors and seat belts.

Johnson said Inter-

ested racers will need to come to the Crossroads Arena box office and register or get registration information and a registration form off of their Facebook Events page — Mega Monster Mania Vol. 2. He said there are daily updates on the page.

In addition to all the other racing events, Johnson said there will be a monster ride truck available again with proceeds benefitting childhood cancer. The rides will be an additional $10 outside of the regular racing activities.

Today in History

Daily Corinthian • 3A

Across the Region Rienzi Two Rienzi residents arrested for grand larceny

Today is Wednesday, Feb. 22, the 53rd day of 2017. There are 312 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 22, 1732 (New Style date), the first president of the United States, George Washington, was born in Westmoreland County in the Virginia Colony.

On this date: In 1862, Jefferson Davis, already the provisional president of the Confederacy, was inaugurated for a six-year term following his election in November 1861.

In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge delivered the first radio broadcast from the White House as he addressed the country over 42 stations.

In 1959, the inaugural Daytona 500 race was held; although Johnny Beauchamp was initially declared the winner, the victory was later awarded to Lee Petty.

In 1967, more than 25,000 U.S. and South Vietnamese troops launched Operation Junction City, aimed at smashing a Vietcong stronghold near the Cambodian border. (The communists were driven out, but later returned.)

In 1980, the “Miracle on Ice” took place in Lake Placid, New York, as the United States Olympic hockey team upset the Soviets, 4-3.

(The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.)

In 1997, scientists in Scotland announced they had succeeded in cloning an adult mammal, producing a lamb named “Dolly.” (Dolly, however, was later put down after a short life marred by premature aging and disease.)

RIENZI — According to Prentiss County Sheriff’s Deputy Phillip Owens and Prentiss County Constable Sammy Henderson, two people were taken into custody on Thursday, Feb. 16.

Timothy Steven Johnson, 33, and Rachel Leanne Hedrick, 28, both of Johnson Googe Street in Rienzi, were taken into custody by police.

Charges were pressed against the two and warrants were issued for grand larceny.

Johnson and Hedrick Hedrick were accused of damaging rental property.

Both cases were presented to the Prentiss County Grand Jury.

Booneville Fourth arrest made in January kidnapping BOONEVILLE — The Daily Journal reports that a Prentiss County man was charged Tuesday in connection with a mid-January kidnapping near Marietta.

According to Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar, this is the fourth and final arrest in connection with a Jan. 13 ordeal at a residence on the south end of the county. During the early

morning hours, Prentiss County 911 received several calls about a possible kidnapping taking place at a residence on County Road 5471.

Matthew Glenn Arnold, 33, of County Road 1123, was arrested by deputies late Monday night at his residence. He was charged with two counts of kidnapping and is being held on a $50,000 bond.

Also charged with two counts of kidnapping in connection with the same case are Andy Ambrocio, 23; Anthony Gene Floyd, 26; and Jamie MacAuthor Wills, 45.

Ripley Former owner of Cardinals Drive-In dies RIPLEY — The Southern Sentinel reports that James E. “Jimmy” Fisher, the fomer owner of Cardinals Drive-In, has died.

Fisher passed away on Wednesday, Feb. 8 at North Mississippi Medical Center.

The long-time restauranteur owned and operated businesses in Booneville, Ripley, Baldwyn and Corinth.

An avid Mississippi State fan, he sponsored and supported various youth and adult sports activities. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends and was a member of Thrasher Baptist Church.

He was laid to rest on Saturday, Feb. 11 in the Prentiss Memorial Garden Cemetery.

Saltillo Head-on collision in Saltillo kills two SALTILLO (AP) — Two people are dead and another injured

following a head-on wreck Monday afternoon in Saltillo.

Police Chief Grant Bailey said vehicles driving in opposite directions on Highway 145 near Bauhaus Drive collided shortly before 5 p.m. One person was pronounced dead on the scene.

Another died later from the injuries. A third person was taken to the North Mississippi Medical Center in serious condition.

The deceased were 87-yearold William Wardlaw and his 84-year-old wife Joann, according to Lee County Coroner Carolyn Green.

“We’re still looking into it, but one of the vehicles veered over into the other lane,” Bailey said. “We will try to reconstruct the accident to figure out what happened.”

The accident remains under investigation.

Tupelo Comic Con set for April; volunteers needed TUPELO (AP) — Organizers of the 2017 Tupelo Comic Con are looking for a few good volunteers.

This year’s event will be expanded to two days, April 1-2, and the celebration of science fiction, fantasy, games, comics and cosplay will be staged at Tupelo Furniture Market Building No. 5.

“We went a little smaller last year because we didn’t know how many people would be there,” said Jamey Nunley, head organizer.

The 2016 event at Link Centre sold out within the first hour. The furniture market will provide more space for gaming rooms, panels and more, so there’s a need for volunteers to make sure things go smoothly.

“Our volunteers will receive a full refund for their two-day passes after they finish working their shifts,” said Nunley, adding that volunteers will be expected to work two four-hour blocks.

Weekend passes are $25/ advance and $30/at the door.

The one-day price is $20 for Saturday and $15 for Sunday.

To purchase tickets or volunteer, visit www.tupelocomiccon. org or the Tupelo Comic Con page on Facebook.

The website also includes information about special guests, including Walter Jones, the original Black Power Ranger, Mira Furlan, an actress from “Babylon 5” and “Lost,” and Chuck Huber, a voice actor with “Dragon Ball Z” and other anime titles.

Andrew Hackard from Steve Jackson Gaming Co. is expected to attend. Nunley said Hackard is known as the “Munchkin Czar” because he oversees the hit game about dungeon adventures.

In addition to board games, organizers decided to add video games to the 2017 event, and a pair of professional gamers are scheduled to attend.

In a change inspired by feedback from last year, there will be two cosplay contests. One will judge how costumes are made, and the other will focus on how they look.

“You can’t just buy a costume and win the one contest,” Nunley said, “but you can just buy a costume and win the other.”

The event also will feature vehicles taken straight out of pop culture, including a “ScoobyDoo” Mystery Machine, a “Back to the Future” car and a van from “Jurassic Park.”

“That’ll be fun,” Nunley said.

Corinth, Miss.

A new direction on education American public school students fall well behind students around the world in math and science proficiency. This is not debatable. According to the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Cal Study and the Progress in InThomas ternational Reading Literacy Study, both cited in The New Columnist York Times in 2012, “Fourthand eighth-grade students in the United States continue to lag behind students in several East Asian countries and some European nations in math and science, although American fourth-graders are closer to the top performers in reading.”

In California, the number of credentialed math and science teachers is actually declining, reports the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

Newly installed Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, believes at least two factors have contributed to these and other problems in American education -- lack of school choice and the failure of top-down policies dictated by Washington.

A U.S. News and World Report story in 2015 confirms her view that there is little connection between achievement and the amount of money spent: “The U.S. spends significantly more on education than other OECD countries. In 2010, the U.S. spent 39 percent more per full-time student for elementary and secondary education than the average for other countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.”

DeVos wants to give more power to the states to set education priorities: “I think the more states and locales are empowered to innovate and create and are unencumbered by unnecessary regulations and sort of beaten into compliance mentally vs. a can-do and results-oriented mentality, it’s been repeatedly demonstrated that any type of top-down solution, no matter where you try to employ it in government, it’s not successful.”

While acknowledging that resistance from teachers’ unions and some members of Congress is strong (she notes the hypocrisy of those who can afford to send their children to private schools, yet oppose allowing poor children and their parents to choose better schools), she believes a growing number of people are getting behind school choice: “We had an example of that in Florida where over 10,000 parents and students marched in Tallahassee against (a) lawsuit that the teachers union had filed, which of course, has been dismissed, thankfully.” The lawsuit tried to block a school voucher program.

DeVos cites data she says shows that particularly low-income parents “at a level of almost 75 percent to 80 percent embrace the idea of giving more choices and empowerment.” She notes that while school choice for all is the goal, the Every Student Succeeds Act (a reauthorization of the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act) has a provision “that will allow states that are particularly innovative to implement some choices ... on a very local level. And I am very much going to encourage them to take the ball and run with it as far as possible.”

DeVos believes that not teaching values and character development in our politically correct age is a “significant factor” contributing to lack of achievement in many schools. She also says she has found a few “moles” (my word) in the department who are committed to her not succeeding and pledges to do whatever can be done to render them ineffective.

DeVos believes the protests during and after her confirmation were not “spontaneous, genuine protests,” but are being “sponsored and very carefully planned. We’ve seen enough written that they want to make my life a living hell. They also don’t know what stock I come from. I will not be deterred from my mission in helping kids in this country.”

Prayer for today My Father, may my daily work not be the means of separating me from thee, but may I have thee for my companion through my work. Forbid that I should ever submit to despair from weakness of body, but that I may be blest and grow strong as my spirit lives in thee. Amen.

A verse to share Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORDwill renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

—Isaiah 40:30-31

Is a Trump-Putin detente dead?

Among the reasons Donald Trump is president is that he read the nation and the world better than his rivals.

He saw the surging power of American nationalism at home, and of ethnonationalism in Europe. And he embraced Brexit.

While our bipartisan establishment worships diversity, Trump saw Middle America recoiling from the demographic change brought about by Third World invasions. And he promised to curb them.

While our corporatists burn incense at the shrine of the global economy, Trump went to visit the working-class casualties.

And those forgotten Americans in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin, responded.

And while Bush II and President Obama plunged us into Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Syria, Trump saw that his countrymen wanted to be rid of the endless wars, and start putting America first.

Moreover, that 67-yearold NATO alliance that commits us to go to war to defend two dozen nations, not one of whom contributes the same share of GDP as do we to national defense, is “obsolete.”

Many of these folks are

freeloaders, said Trump.

He hopes to work with Russia against our real enPat emies, alBuchanan Qaida and ISIS. Columnist This was the agenda Americans voted for. But what raises doubt about whether Trump can follow through on his commitments is the size and virulence of the anti-Trump forces in this city.

Consider his plan to pursue a rapprochement with Russia such as Ike, JFK at American University, Nixon and Reagan all pursued in a Cold War with a far more menacing Soviet Empire.

America’s elites still praise FDR for partnering with one of the great mass murderers of human history, Stalin, to defeat Hitler. They still applaud Nixon for going to China to achieve a rapprochement with the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century, Mao Zedong.

Yet Trump is not to be allowed to achieve a partnership with Putin, whose great crime was a bloodless retrieval of a Crimea that had belonged to Russia since the 18th century.

The anti-Putin paranoia

here is astonishing.

That he is a killer, a KGB thug, a murderer, is part of the daily rant of John McCain. At the Munich Security Conference this last weekend, Sen. Lindsey Graham promised, “2017 is going to be a year of kicking Russia in the ass in Congress.” How’s that for statesmanship.

But how does a president negotiate a modus vivendi with a rival great power when the leaders of his own party are sabotaging him and his efforts?

As for the mainstream media, they appear bent upon the ruin of Trump, and the stick with which they mean to beat him to death is this narrative: Trump is the Siberian Candidate, a creature of Putin and the Kremlin. His ties to the Russians are old and deep. It was to help Trump that Russia hacked the DNC and the computer of Clinton campaign chief John Podesta, and saw to it WikiLeaks got the emails out to the American people during the campaign. Trump’s people secretly collaborated with Russian agents.

The epidemic of Russophobia makes it almost impossible to pursue normal relations. Indeed, in reaction to the constant attacks on them as poodles of Pu-

tin, the White House seems to be toughening up toward Russia.

Thus we see U.S. troops headed for Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, NATO troops being sent into the Baltic States, and new tough rhetoric from the White House about Russia having to restore Crimea to Ukraine. We read of Russian spy ships off the coast, Russian planes buzzing U.S. warships in the Black Sea, Russians deploying missiles outlawed by the arms control agreement of 1987.

An Ohio-class U.S. sub just test-fired four Trident missiles, which carry thermonuclear warheads, off the Pacific coast.

Any hope of cutting a deal for a truce in east Ukraine, a lifting of sanctions, and bringing Russia back into Europe seems to be fading.

Where are the voices among Trump’s advisers who will tell him to hold firm against the Russophobic tide and work out a deal with the Russian president?

For a second cold war with Russia, its back up against a wall, may not end quite so happily as the first.

Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of the new book “The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority.”

Public deserves the facts on Flynn In an environment where every day has felt like a month and almost every news cycle has something that the media consider a potentially administrationshaking disaster, we finally have something worthy of the perpetually screaming headlines -- a national-security adviser getting fired under a haze of suspicion about his dealings with Russia.

This is gobsmacking by any standard. Michael Flynn, a Trump loyalist constantly at the candidate’s side over the past year, couldn’t even last four weeks. His ouster coincides with reports in The New York Times and by CNN about contacts between Trump aides and Russian officials during the campaign that play into the darkest suspicions about the administration.

Although Trump’s critics are already vested in the most dire scenario -- Dan Rather has it all pegged as the next Watergate -- the spectrum of possibilities here is quite broad, ranging from a major scandal to a complete fizzle.

Flynn may have flatly lied about a crystal-clear conversation with Russian Ambassador Rich Sergey KisLowry lyak about sanctions National out of his Review own cognizance of guilt, or he may have inadvertently relayed incomplete information about an ambiguous conversation and watched the situation spin out of control. Which is it?

The Times story about communications between Trump advisers and Russians stipulates that it’s unclear that the conversations had anything to do with Trump, a rather large caveat in the splashy report. If it turns out the contacts did relate to Trump, they could be explosive; if they didn’t, they might be much ado.

Which is it?

More broadly, the people around Trump may have been complicit in a Russian assault on the integrity of our election process, or malicious anti-Trump bu-

reaucrats are piling unwarranted insinuations atop fragmentary information, or something in between, or all of the above. Which is it?

All of this obviously demands serious investigation on Capitol Hill. Not a pretending-to-investigateso-we-can-say-we’re-investigating probe, but an honest-to-goodness attempt to get to the bottom of the whole fetid matter.

The public deserves to know the facts, and even if Republicans wanted to look the other way, the trial by leak will continue every day in the press.

It is not to excuse Flynn’s ineptitude or what appears to have been his deception to note the disturbing nature of the campaign against him. It made use of what is supposed to be the very most sensitive and carefully guarded information gathered in our surveillance of foreign officials to destroy his public career.

There is much about his rapid downfall that still doesn’t add up. His alleged legal vulnerability was a potential violation of the Logan Act, which forbids

private interference in U.S. foreign policy. The Logan Act is literally never prosecuted, and is seemingly left on the books solely to give op-ed writers and cable-TV talkers an excuse to suggest that people they don’t like might have broken the law.

Let’s get everything related to this affair on the record in a full, reliable manner. Let’s see the transcripts of Flynn’s calls with Kislyak, now that the entire world knows that they exist. Let’s hear from Flynn, and Paul Manafort, and Roger Stone, and anyone else in the Trump orbit who might have been talking to the Russians. Let’s get a detailed accounting of how the Russians went about their hacking, and why we know it was them.

Let’s air it all out. It’s unlikely that anyone will agree on all the facts or what they mean, but litigating it publicly beats the shadow game currently being played by anonymous sources. The leaks may make for fascinating reading, but they aren’t how a great republic should conduct its business or pursue the truth.

NEMCC stages spring production of comedy For the Daily Corinthian

BOONEVILLE — Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Division of Fine Arts will stage the Don Zolidis comedy “Current Economic Conditions,” on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday in the Hinds Hall Auditorium.

Curtain rises on the evening performances at 7 p.m. The Sunday matinée performance begins at 2 p.m.

Northeast’s veteran drama/

speech instructor Christopher J. Schager of Oxford will serves as the director.

Admission is free to Northeast faculty, staff and students with a current Northeast identification card and is only $5 for general public admission.

After losing her low-level job in the publishing industry, 26-year-old Lily has no choice but to move back in with her well-meaning but neurotic parents. A series of disastrous in-

terviews and her parents’ strict house rules have Lily feeling more like a troubled teenager than an employable young woman -- and the Justin Bieber posters in her old bedroom aren’t helping. Will she find a job before she loses both her sanity and her dignity?

“We’ve been waiting to get to this play for a while,” Schager said, “a funny comedy for anyone with adult children living at home.”

Included in the cast are Alysabeth Nunley of Corinth, Alex Trullet of Guntown, Brandon Strickland of Corinth, Bronson Woodruff of Corinth, Caitlin Garrett of Baldwyn, Christopher Eric Hughes of Ripley, Daniel Steckbauer of Olive Branch, Destiny Hall of Walnut, Gabe Morris of Olive Branch, Madeline McCain of Olive Branch, Jordan Mitchell of Hollywood, Ala., Marshall Grooms of Kossuth, Michael Blankenship of

Marietta, Brannon Morgan of Dumas, Rose Wheat of Byhalia, Shelev Walton of Oxford, Telisa DeBerryof Holly Springs, Truli Strickland of Booneville and Jeremy Taylor of Iuka.

Due to the subject matter, the play is not recommended for children under age 8.

$3M grant to provide pre-K prep Ferris honored at awards For the Daily Corinthian

OXFORD — A three-year, $3 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation will help University of Mississippi faculty provide educators across the state with specialized training to use new research and meet upcoming training demands facing the early childhood education workforce.

The funds will be awarded in $1 million increments over the next three years to the North Mississippi Education Consortium, or NMEC, which is housed on the university’s Oxford campus and will host a variety of training opportunities with faculty support from the UM Graduate Center for the Study of Early Learning.

“We are creating a system of training to build certain capacities in school districts,” said Cathy Grace, the Graduate Center’s co-director. “Different training opportunities will allow both teachers and principals to get information that is appropriate to their role. We also want to inform teachers of what will be expected of them by the state as it changes its requirements and evaluations.”

Starting in 2018, the Mississippi Department of Education will require all the state’s public school teachers to hold a special license

15

endorsement to teach in any public early childhood classroom. Training opportunities to be provided with the new funding will provide multiple options for teachers to meet this requirement.

Grace describes the initiative as a “bundle of strategies,” with the aim of supporting high-quality pre-K classrooms. The focus will be exposing both teachers and administrators to the latest research in neuroscience and professional practice related to the rapidly evolving field of early childhood education.

The training programs planned in conjunction with MDE will benefit assistant teachers, teachers, principals and school superintendents working with pre-kindergarten students. These opportunities, scheduled in various locations across the state over the next three years, can train hundreds of early childhood teachers and school administrators on the most effective teaching practices for young children.

Online staff development courses designed for teachers seeking to receive their pre-K endorsement will also be offered. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact NMEC or visit the Graduate Center website to get specific training information.

These opportunities will

utilize state resources, as well as bring in national experts in early childhood education and school administration, and will be based on proven strategies that have yielded increased student outcomes and engaged families in communities.

According to the National Institute for Early Education Research, several studies show that quality preschool programs can produce lasting gains in academic achievement, including gains in reading and mathematics.

The studies also indicate that every $1 invested in public pre-K education generates a $7 return in the form of longterm cost savings.

The School of Education also offers two programs that can help teachers earn a preK license endorsement from MDE, including its online Master of Education degree in early childhood education, as well as 12-hour undergraduate endorsement program.

“We, at the North Mississippi Education Consortium, are excited to be a part of this grant opportunity,” said Susan Scott, program coordinator at NMEC. “As educators, we see the value of early childhood education and the impact it has on the educational achievement of Mississippi’s children.”

OXFORD — William R. Ferris, pre-eminent scholar of Mississippi’s rich culture, music and folklore, has been documenting the lives of Mississippians for more than 50 years.

The Mississippi Arts Commission honored him with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2017 Governor’s Arts Awards on Feb. 16.

Ferris is a scholar, author, documentary filmmaker and founding director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi. For him, the award is linked to the center in a deep and wonderful way, as well as to the Oxford community.

“It’s a tremendous honor, and I know it would never have happened without the work I was blessed to do at the University of Mississippi and at the center,” Ferris said. “It was a special period in my life that connected me to Mississippi in ways that were very special and very moving, and I know full well that the friendships I was able to share there are a big part of why I was selected for this honor.”

He is an author of 10 books.

The award is an opportunity to look back and appreciate more deeply what one’s life’s work represents, since in the moment, totally engaged and working, it can be difficult to see where things will land, said Ferris, who was on the Ole Miss faculty from 1979 to 1998.

Southern studies students are leading various areas in new and exciting ways, said Ferris, who keeps up with the program’s stu-

dents and alumni.

“I look around the state, the region and the nation and know there are powerful voices that were shaped at the center and by the Southern studies program,” he said.

Ferris grew up on a farm south of Vicksburg and developed an early love of storytelling, books, art and music. In 1997, he became chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities under President Bill Clinton.

Since 2002, he has served as Joel Williamson Eminent Professor of History and senior associate director of the Center for the Study of the American South at the University of North Carolina.

“When I first found myself out in the cultural landscape of Mississippi’s vast richness, Bill was already there, established and knee-deep in the exploration of art and culture,” said Malcolm White, executive director of MAC. “Bill is a pathfinder and an icon of this work, and I am proud to be at the helm of MAC on this occasion of his recognition.”

Other award recipients were Sammy Britt, Excellence in Visual Art; Vasti Jackson, Arts Ambassador; Lucy Richardson Janoush, Arts Patron; Jaimoe Johnie Johnson, Excellence in Music; and the Mississippi Opera, Artistic Excellence.

“Because these six recipients have made a significant and lasting impact on our state’s arts culture, it is fitting to recognize them during Mississippi’s bicentennial celebration,” White said.

Court split in case of death near border

BY MARK SHERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Examining a tragic shooting death on the U.S. border with Mexico, a divided Supreme Court on Tuesday puzzled over the rights of foreigners to sue in American courts.

The case involving a Mexican teen slain by a U.S. Border Patrol agent’s gunshot, which traveled across the border, elicited questions about how a ruling could affect victims of American drone strikes. The court battle over President Donald Trump’s ban on travelers from

seven majority Muslim nations also lurked in the background: While the legal issues are different, both issues have courts weighing the rights of foreigners.

A 4-4 tie could provide Judge Neil Gorsuch an early opportunity to cast a key vote if he is confirmed to the court before the term ends in late June.

Tuesday’s case arose from a June 2010 shooting in the wide, concrete-lined ditch — actually the dry bed of the Rio Grande river — that separates El Paso, Texas, from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

EDGESTON CONTINUED FROM 1A

The Board of Aldermen unanimously appointed Edgeston on Tuesday. She fills the school board seat being vacated by Jerry Finger, who has been serving as board president. After 10 years on the board, he did not seek reappointment.

A 1999 Corinth High School graduate, Edgeston has three daughters ages 14, 11 and 7, giving her one child at each of the three campuses.

She is a proud Warrior alumnus.

“I love Corinth schools,” said Edgeston. “I think over the past several years there have been great im-

provements. I love what they’ve done with the new schedule.”

She is also glad to see a technical track in place for students who may not be college-bound.

Edgeston continues to be active with the We Are Corinth group, which is working for positive changes in the South Corinth area.

Finger had his last regular meeting with the school board on Feb. 9. Superintendent Lee Childress and trustees Dennis Dilworth, Frank Davis, Chip Peterson and Becky Null thanked him for his service to the school district.

Edgeston’s five-year term begins March 1.

Trump puts focus on Sweden

BY MATTI HUUHTANEN Associated Press

HELSINKI — When a riot broke out in a predominantly immigrant Stockholm suburb this week, the biggest surprise for many Swedes was that a police officer found it necessary to fire his gun.

For U.S. President Donald Trump and his supporters, however, the episode appeared to confirm Trump’s vague observation two days earlier that the Scandinavian country was at risk of becoming a breeding ground for extremist attacks.

It’s true that Sweden, which prides itself on welcoming newcomers, is seeing a new kind of

urban unrest. The combination of the country’s open-door policy and comparatively heterogeneous culture has led to frictions, especially in areas where many long-time immigrants feel disempowered.

Yet its problems with crime, poverty and violence are no greater — and potentially much less — than in the United States and other countries with home-grown gangs as well as waves of new arrivals — and Trump’s focus on Swedish issues has left many people there puzzled.

This week’s trouble started when police arrested a drug crime suspect in Rinkeby late Monday. Rioters threw rocks at police, set cars on fire and looted shops, but no one

was injured. Similar episodes of unrest have happened sporadically in Sweden, especially in immigrant neighborhoods.

The flash came two days after Trump suggested during a Saturday rally in Florida that Sweden could be the next European country to suffer the kind of extremist attacks that have devastated France, Belgium and Germany.

“My statement as to what’s happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @ FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden,” Trump tweeted after he mentioned at the rally that something terrible had befallen the country the night before.

some attention to the historic courthouse.

“It’s exciting to me, because I have been doing tours in that courtroom for 30 or more years now,” said Executive Director Beth Whitehurst. “The court day was a big day, and people would turn out in their best clothes, and it was packed.”

Because there wasn’t much in the way of entertainment during those times, sessions of court had good attendance.

Filming begins in Mississippi on March 13 and will be in Jacinto on March 20.

“It’s based on one of those stories where truth is just stranger than fiction,” said Whitehurst.

It centers around feuding brothers, a rather grisly murder and the

Health Care For The Entire Family

trial that follows.

After reading the short story, Mills, who adapted the screenplay, felt “this is just too perfect to not make into a movie,” he said. “I almost didn’t even want to write a screenplay, it was so good. It’s just unbelievable, the turn of events that happened with the murder and the trial that comes out of it. I saw it as a Mississippi western.”

Locals will have the chance to get involved as unpaid extras for the courtroom scene.

“We need a crowd of people,” said Mills, as well as sources who might provide appropriate costuming.

Whitehurst estimates more than 50 people will be needed to fill the courtroom and for milling around outside the courthouse. But they will have to look the part.

“If you’ve ever watched ‘Little House on the Prairie,’ that’s what people are going to need to wear,” she said.

Nothing, including overalls, should be made of denim.

The scene will need people of all ages, both sexes, Caucasian and African-American.

Several other Mississippi locales will feature in the film.

“We’re going to shoot some in Lawrence County, because that’s where it took place,” said Mills.

“We’ll also be filming a little bit in the Jackson area, and a good portion of the shoot is going to happen near Greenwood in the Delta.”

It is the first of four movies Running Wild plans to make in Mississippi during the next two years.

The company started in Phoenix in 2010 with the mission to tell Arizona stories. But Mills has family in Mississippi in Brookhaven, and he gradually began to make connections in the state.

“We decided to kind of start doing what we did in Arizona in Mississippi, as

Running Wild’s “Don’t Come Around Here” just premiered at the Oxford Film Festival and took the prize for best Mississippi feature.

It was around the beginning of January that the Jacinto Foundation first heard from the independent filmmakers, who were scouting for locations. Whitehurst believes “Blood Country” will be the first movie to film in Alcorn County since “Tomorrow,” the well-regarded 1972 adaptation of a William Faulkner story starring Robert Duvall.

The Jacinto Courthouse makes an appearance in the movie, and local film buff Alan Simmons, playing a reporter, can be seen sliding down the bannister.

In preparation for the movie and opening for the season, the Jacinto Foundation will host a work day for cleanup on Saturday, March 4, beginning at 9 a.m.

Those interested in participating as extras should contact Whitehurst at 286-8662. Updates on the movie are at facebook. com/bloodcountryfilm.

PROBE CONTINUED FROM 1A

Suspect still sought The police department continues to seek the suspect in a Feb. 13 shooting that injured two people in a home at 1219 Mitchell Street. Jamar Allen, 30, no street address available, is suspected of shooting into the home after an earlier dispute.

He is described as a black male standing approximately 6 feet tall and weighing 145 pounds.

Across the Nation Associated Press

Lawmakers fear backlash from raise ST. PAUL, Minn. — Want to complain to your legislators about wage stagnation?

Chances are they’ve gone just as long — maybe longer — without a raise.

Although most state legislatures have direct control over setting their own salaries, the potential backlash from constituents poses a daunting deterrence — particularly at a time when private sector pay barely keeps up with inflation.

Missouri legislators rejected an increase in January after sometimes heated debate, extending their streak without a pay raise to more than a decade.

Legislatures in Minnesota and New York haven’t hiked pay for nearly 20 years. Connecticut lawmakers, who earn just $28,000, have actually proposed cutting their own pay.

Kim Norton, a Minnesota Democrat, said she decided not to seek another term in the state House, and the $31,000 salary was a factor.

Norton described struggling with her children’s college costs and having to put down extra money on a mortgage because her employment was only guaranteed for two years.

Ex-white supremacists help others exit groups ATHENS, Ga. — The Celtic cross tattoo on Shannon Martinez’s leg gives away her past.

A victim of sexual assault at age 14 and never quite able to meet her parents’ expectations, Martinez sought out other angry teens. By 16, she was a skinhead spouting white supremacist rhetoric, giving stiff-armed Nazi salutes and tagging public property with swastikas. She favored racist fashion statements — like the symbol on her right calf.

Fortified by the love of an adopted family, Martinez left the skinheads behind. Today she’s helping others do the same as part of an emerging U.S. movement that helps people quit hate organizations.

Airlines sell cheaper economy-class fare DALLAS — American and United have started selling cheaper “basic economy” fares as they battle discount airlines for the most budgetconscious travelers.

American announced early Tuesday that it began selling the new fares for flights starting March 1 on 10 different routes from its hub airports in Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia and Charlotte, North Carolina.

United followed suit later in the day, posting reduced fares on some flights from Minneapolis to seven of its hub cities including New York, Chicago and Los Angeles for travel starting April 18.

Basic economy fares come with severe restrictions. Buyers can’t pick a seat when they buy the ticket, they’re in the last group to board, and they can only carry a small item that fits under their seat. With a few exceptions, they must pay extra to check a wheeled bag that other economy-class travelers can put in the overhead bin.

But the fares are cheaper.

The savings over a regular economy ticket appear to range from about $24 to $40 for a round-trip ticket on American and United.

Yahoo salvages Verizon deal SAN FRANCISCO — Yahoo is taking a $350 million hit on its previously announced $4.8 billion sale to Verizon in a concession for security lapses that exposed personal information stored in more than 1

billion Yahoo user accounts.

The revised agreement, announced Tuesday, eases investor worries that Verizon Communications Inc. would demand a discount of at least $1 billion or cancel the deal entirely.

The hacking bombshells, disclosed after the two companies agreed on a sale, represent the two biggest security breaches in internet history.

The breaches raised concerns that people might decrease their use of Yahoo email and other digital services that Verizon is buying.

A smaller audience makes Yahoo’s services less valuable because it reduces the opportunities to show ads — the main reason that Verizon struck the deal seven months ago.

5 rescued from swollen creek SAN FRANCISCO — Fire crews rescued residents from a San Jose neighborhood inundated by water from an overflowing creek Tuesday after earlier saving five people who were stranded by flooding at a homeless encampment along a creek in the city.

The rescues came after a series of heavy storms drenched already soggy Northern California.

The rescued residents had to be taken to dry land and rinsed off to prevent them from being sickened by floodwaters that had traveled through garbage, debris and over sewer lines, San Jose Fire Capt. Mitch Matlow said. Helicopter footage showed people being escorted from the neighborhood on boats passing by submerged vehicles throughout the neighborhood.

Firefighters were going door-to-door to alert residents because the city does not have sirens or another emergency warning system, San Jose spokesman David Vossbrink said.

In the San Joaquin Valley in California’s agricultural heartland, farmers used their tractors and other heavy equipment to help shore up an endangered levee along the San Joaquin River.

Across the State Associated Press

Sheriff: Man kills co-worker, runs away HOLLY SPRINGS — Authorities have arrested a man who they say fatally shot a co-worker in northern Mississippi.

Marshall County Sheriff Kenny Dickerson tells news outlets that 27-year-old Lamont Burchett and 26-year-old Deandre Jones — both of whom worked for an armored car manufacturer — had exchanged some words, prompting Burchett to go to his car Monday morning and return with a gun. Authorities say Burchett approached Jones and shot him multiple times in the head and body. Jones later died at a hospital.

Deputies say Burchett fled the scene but he was arrested a few hours later at an apartment complex in Memphis, Tennessee.

Dickerson says Burchett will be charged with murder when he is returned to the state. It is unclear whether he has an attorney.

Death penalty ruled out in double slaying GULFPORT — Prosecutors have decided against seeking the death penalty against two men charged with killing another man on the Mississippi coast in 2014.

The decision means 20-year-old Rashad Johnson and 22-year-old Jalen Williams will face a maximum penalty of life without parole if convicted of capital murder in the slaying of 41-yearold Lamont Hayes of Gulfport.

The men were teenagers when they were charged with fatally shooting Hayes during a burglary and attempted robbery almost three years ago.

Johnson and Williams were supposed to go on trial this week in Harrison County, but a judge delayed the case because a relative of a witness had a medical emergency.

The trial is now set for March 20. Both men have pleaded not guilty.

and Lawrence County emergency responders ended successfully when a Mississippi man was discharged from a Jasper hospital after a hiking injury in Bankhead National Forest.

The rescue of John McBride, 49, of Jackson, began Sunday afternoon, and finished at 10:15 a.m. Monday when he was taken by ambulance from the Thompson Creek Trailhead in the Sipsey Wilderness to Walker Baptist Medical Center.

McBride, an architect, injured his right ankle Sunday about 5½ miles from the trailhead while walking with six other hikers. Fellow hiker Griffin Hatcliff said members of the hiking group from the First Presbyterian Church in Jackson were on their way to Big Tree when McBride apparently lost his footing on a slippery log and his ankle made contact with the ground in an awkward position. Hatcliff said the incident happened about 2:30 p.m.

Big Tree in the Sipsey Wilderness Area of the Bankhead National Forest is the largest poplar tree in the state and among the largest in the Southeast. It is a popular destination for Bankhead hikers.

Shifting load kills truck driver BOGALUSA, La. — State police in Louisiana say a log truck driver from Mississippi was killed when he applied his brakes to avoid a collision and the load on his truck shifted, crashing into the cab.

The victim of Monday afternoon’s accident was

identified as 30-year-old Christopher Rex Blansett of Sumrall, Mississippi.

A state police news release said Blansett was attempting to pass a Ford Explorer that had been travelling slowly, partially on the right shoulder, while eastbound on Louisiana Highway 10. Troopers said the Explorer abruptly turned left to enter a private drive.

Blansett applied his brakes to avoid hitting the Explorer, causing the load shift.

State police said the Explorer driver, 36-yearold April Bertoniere of Bogalusa, provided a voluntary breath sample, which showed no alcohol present. The investigation was continuing Tuesday.

Co-op to document electricity’s early days JACKSON — An electric cooperative in central and south Mississippi is reaching out to its members to hear about the time when they or their relatives received electricity from the co-op for the first time.

The Southern Pine Electric Power Association, which was started in the 1930s, is seeking to both tell the story of its origin and to share the stories of the people who worked to bring electricity to the state’s rural areas.

To tell that story, Southern Pine is requesting photographs, copies of newspaper clippings, memorabilia, and typewritten narratives of individual recollections of receiving electricity.

Contributions can be sent to Jan Collins, P.O. Box 60, Taylorsville, MS 39168.

Today

Eye on the Fed The Federal Reserve issues today the minutes from its recent meeting of policymakers.

After the two-day meeting last month, the central bank left a key interest rate unchanged, but pointed to improved sentiment among consumers and businesses. It also said it had become more confident that inflation will reach its 2 percent target. Still, the Fed offered no hints about when it will resume raising rates.

Key to wife’s hoarding may be in her genes D E A R ABBY: My wife and I and our 13-year-old son live in a nice home we have Abigail been remodfor the Van Buren eling last eight years.

Dear Abby The problem is, my wife has a hard time getting rid of anything, and she constantly brings home “new projects” that take up space but never get done.

At one point, we hired a professional organizer because we had reached the point of having “goat trails” as the only means of navigating our way around the house.

We also have a barn that is chockablock full.

I have heard that the root cause may be due to an anomaly on a chromosome.

How should I approach my wife about getting some genetic testing done?

Her mom is also a professional pack rat.

The clutter is taking its toll on our relationship -- we are in marriage counseling -- and on our family. We have so much stuff I can’t breathe. -- SUFFOCAT-

ING IN MONTANA DEAR SUFFOCATING: It is interesting that your wife’s mother also has this problem.

Hoarding is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, which can run in families, and has been known to be associated with depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder.

It couldn’t hurt if your wife had genetic testing done, but the suggestion might be better coming from the marriage counselor rather than from you, because if she hears it from you, she might become defensive or resistant.

DEAR ABBY: I have worked at the same small company for 25 years. All but one of the employees have been with this company for more than 20 years. “Grace” has been here only three years.

She is pleasant, funny, trustworthy and easy to be around.

However, she never brings her own lunch.

If something is in the refrigerator, she feels it is fair game to eat it. If I bring something she wants, she will come up to me, take the bag and ask, “What’s for lunch this week?”

I keep snacks in my desk, and she knows which drawer I keep them in.

When I reach for something to hold me over, sometimes the

drawer will be empty and the bag will be on her desk or in her trash. It infuriates me.

I have made subtle comments on how this upsets me. I have progressed to no longer bringing my lunch.

I know she can afford her own lunch.

She earns more than I do and doesn’t have children or a mortgage. How do I tell this woman to keep her hands off my lunch and snacks? -- HUNGRY IN HOUSTON DEAR HUNGRY: How “trustworthy” can Grace be if she steals your food?

When her outrageous behavior and petty thievery started, you shouldn’t have hinted -- you should have TOLD the woman to keep her hands off your lunch and out of your desk drawers. If she didn’t respect your wishes, you should have reported it to your supervisor or your boss.

It’s still not too late to do that, and I suggest that if there isn’t a policy in your company handbook pertaining to this kind of pilfering that one be included.

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).

Everybody needs somebody, and you’re the somebody who is so needed now that somebody else seems fastened to you. Being needed so intensely could bring up mixed feelings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Money isn’t inherently emotional, but somehow it will end up being a hot-button topic today.

You’ll be the reasonable one; you know to separate your own value from the monetary one in question.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

There’s something you want that requires a lot more attention than you planned to give it. Until you can lend full focus, it will remain out of reach. The question now is: How badly do you want it?

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’re not the casting director for every scene in the grand play of life. But when you do have the power, use it. Surround yourself with nice people and you won’t have to teach people to be nice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You

don’t befriend anyone just because you think it will take you places. However, there are some special friendships that generate such a fantastic energy that you can’t help but soar upward, regardless of your original intention.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Hesitate and you will lose the opportunity, or worse, cast doubt in the mind of the one who’s doling it out. Today’s one of those times to just say yes.

You’ll learn all you need to know along the way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Higher learning will be featured in your day. This may be costly in values of time, energy and money, but you’ll never be sorry, as your richer life will eventually reflect all the potential benefits of the effort.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

As it is with everyone, your powers of magnetism ebb and flow.

They are flowing now. You may notice that you’re getting special treatment. Enjoy this, and don’t give into the temptation to play

William Byron readies for next step

William Byron, 19, recorded seven victories last season in trucks.

Last year, having little experience other than that gained by racing online, Byron found himself behind the wheel of a Kyle Busch Motorsports truck in the Camping World Truck Series. Busch’s trucks are the best in the business, and much was expected from the then-high school senior.

And Byron responded in a big way, winning a circuit-high seven races.

Now he’s moved on to another challenge — driving an Xfinity Series car for JR Motorsports, one of the strongest teams in that series. JR Motorsports is owned and managed by Dale Earnhardt Jr., his sister Kelley Earnhardt Miller and Earnhardt’s Cup team owner, Rick Hendrick.

William Byron, at the tender age of 19, has had to deal with some pressurepacked situations in his brief career as a NASCAR driver.

New limits on damaged cars

Teams will have just five minutes to get their cars ready for racing again following damage suffered on the track.

NASCAR officials have instituted a new Damaged Vehicle Policy for all three of its top series.

The changes are aimed at keeping patched-up cars off the track, since many of those cars often bring out more cautions as patched pieces come loose and litter the track. `Under the new rules, teams will be given five minutes to fix damage, and the repairs must be done on pit road.

If the car is taken to the garage or if repairs take longer than five minutes, it will not be allowed to return to the race.

Repaired cars still must maintain the minimum speed established for that event.

Other malfunctions such, as electrical issues, can be repaired without penalty.

The new policy comes a few weeks after NASCAR modified the points structure so that finishing positions 36 through 40 receive only one point each.

That change removed the incentive for a team that wrecks early in a race to try to patch up the car to gain a handful of positions, since they often were unlikely to make up more than four positions after a lengthy garage stay.

Regan Smith, right, interviews driver William Byron during a segment for FOX that will air during the network’s race coverage at Atlanta Motor Speedway in early March. just haven’t had the stars line up to race with him, but they did this year.”

Benton and Smith have an understanding that if Smith were to get a chance to return to Cup, the truck schedule will be amended.

“I’m sitting back and waiting to see what opportunities present themselves on the Cup side,” Smith said.

“And Ricky has allowed me to be flexible on that.”

Smith also said that if a high-profile driver needs a substitute, he’d be available.

“I’d like to not just be a [substitute], but if that’s what it takes to get back to a more permanent full-time basis, then yeah,” he said, adding that he’s still working behind the scenes to return to Cup full time. He said that at age 33, he still has some good years left.

Smith will also race the No. 92 truck, seen here at New “Some of that is sitting back and getting the financial Hampshire last season, for Ricky Benton Racing in the resources where they need to be to make a real run Camping World Truck Series.

Medical staff will now travel to all Cup races For years NASCAR has relied on local doctors, who deal with injuries from accidents on a daily basis, and those doctors will remain part of the medical staff for races.

“This partnership further strengthens NASCAR’s medical response capability, making our well-established medical response system even better,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR’s executive vice president and chief racing development officer, in a news release.

AMR, a subsidiary of Envision Healthcare, already provides EMS support at many NASCAR races.

NASCAR has joined other racing circuits such as the IndyCar Series by employing a traveling medical staff.

The sanctioning body announced last week that American Medical Response will supply a doctor and a paramedic for each Monster Energy Cup race weekend.

They will join a local medical team that includes experienced emergencyroom physicians.

Many drivers have asked for years to have a traveling medical team that would be familiar with each driver’s medical history.

at the Cup level,” he said. “There are some pretty big spreads in what each car is capable of. Timing was good to sit back and see how things play out this year.”

So to start the season, he’ll be more like a fan, watching the Cup races on TV, which he says will be another learning experience for him.

“I’ll have to discover it as I go,” he said. “I’m going to get to see things from an angle that I haven’t seen in the past.

“I’m curious to see what that’s like. I wasn’t running on Sundays for a while when I was running Xfinity Series, and it definitely gives you a different perspective of Sunday’s races and how they play out on TV, what they look like and what parts were maybe more exciting and what parts were a little dull.”

Smith said he believes the recent changes announced

by NASCAR, especially those that will break each race up into stages, will make racing more appealing to people like him who are watching on TV. “The changes made will be good changes going forward,” he said, adding that he’s anxious to see how it all plays out. “Even when I’m not racing, I’m still watching and heavily invested.

“I love racing. It’s what I do.”

American Medical Response provided an early look at its new response vehicle on the company’s Facebook page.

The Clash kicks off 2017 NASCAR season The 2017 NASCAR season kicks off Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway with the 39th running of the nonpoints Clash. The race for pole winners from the previous season, former Clash winners and a few select others, has run under several names over the years, but is returning to its original moniker, albeit with Advance Auto Parts as the sponsor instead of Busch.

There are 17 drivers expected to compete in the 75-lap run, including Alex Bowman, who earned his spot by winning the pole for the fall race at Phoenix, and Daniel Suarez, who will replace the retired Carl Edwards.

Bowman will drive the No. 88 Chevrolet, while its regular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., a Clash winner in 2003 and 2008, will serve as a race analyst on the FOX broadcast.

Suarez will drive the No. 19 Toyota that was formerly driven by Edwards, but now is Suarez’ full-time ride.

Denny Hamlin is the defending Clash winner.

Regan Smith has played a lot of roles since he first showed up on the NASCAR scene back in 2002. He’s raced in all three of the top divisions, and has a Cup win in the 2011 Southern 500 at one of auto racing’s toughest tracks, Darlington Raceway. He has six Xfinity Series victories, all with JR Motorsports.

He’s been the go-to guy for several top teams when a top-shelf driver is unable to compete. He’s filled in for Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch and Kyle Larson in recent seasons.

He famously came out on the losing end of one of the more controversial finishes in NASCAR history back in 2008 at Talladega, where, as a Cup rookie, he appeared to have won the fall race there only to be penalized for going below the yellow line, even though it appeared to most that he was shoved down there by eventual winner Tony Stewart.

Smith has appeared as an analyst on broadcasts about NASCAR racing, and last week, during a test at Atlanta Motor Speedway, he interviewed Xfinity Series rookie William Byron.

“This is first time I’ve actually done an interview,” Smith said after completing his assignment for FOX, which plans to air the segment when the circuit moves to Atlanta the first week of March. “It was a learning experience seeing an interview from that side of table, instead of being the one answering the questions.”

Smith raced in Cup last year for Tommy Baldwin’s underdog Cup team, which is not competing this year.

Currently, Smith’s only on-track plans are to drive the No. 92 truck for team owner Ricky Benton in the Camping World Truck Series. Last year, with Parker Kligerman at the wheel, Benton’s truck finished third at Daytona in the season opener and eighth in the next two races at Atlanta and Martinsville, respectively.

“Right now, we’re planning on 12 races,” Smith said.

“Maybe if we win one or two early on, we’ll get to do them all. Ricky has been a friend for a long time. We

Corinth, Biggersville win, advance

BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth answered two probing questions Tuesday night as they played their first round north half game against Yazoo City at Warrior gym.

Corinth 76 Yazoo City 63 First, could they function and win against a quality opponent without their second leading scorer and a top reserve. Second, who would step and and be counted on to fill the void created by those losses.

Playing without starting guard Jon D Warren and key reserve Michael White, the Warriors did just fine, thank you, as they pulled away in the second half to dispose of a pesky Indian squad that stuck to Corinth like bees on

honey all night.

The Warriors handed coach Keith Greene his 282nd victory at CHS and advanced to play at Leake Central Saturday with a 7663 win. Now the Tribe is one victory away from making a return trip to Jackson for an opportunity to defend the 4A state crown they won against McComb last season.

“I thought Will (Gardner) and Jawon (Shields) stepped up huge for us tonight with Jon D out sick,” said Greene.”And we had some freshmen like DT Sheffield and Tameron Patterson, who don’t get to play key minutes normally, play big roles tonight as well.”

“That team (Yazoo City) is really hard to play against and they get after you. It’s always good to win and ad-

vance and I’m glad to be playing again this Saturday.”

With Warren home sick (remember he played ill this past Friday against Shannon in the Division 1-4A tournament in Fulton), Gardner stepped up and showed the Indians there was more to him than just being a shooter. He handled the ball and drove the lane successfully on several occasions and drove inside against the big boys in the third quarter to put Corinth back on top after they fallen behind by a bucket.

And he did it with authority.

Late in the game, when all was decided except the final score, he took the ball hard to the hoop against Yazoo City’s big 6’5 center Chavis Ranks and threw the ball off

the backboard while falling to the floor after being fouled.

The ball fell through the hoop and star junior guard Tada Stricklen excitedly gave the 6’1 junior a hard chest bump and shouted his approval of the way Gardner took control of the situation.

Stricklen paced Corinth with 24, while Gardner added 21 and Shields bagged 10 The Warriors will next travel to Leake Central, a 50-37 winner over Lafayette County, on Saturday evening beginning at 7 PM. Leake Central is in the Carthage area, close to Philidelphia.

Lady Bulldogs No. 2 in USA Today coaches poll Mississippi State Sports Information

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State women’s basketball is the No. 2 team in the nation!

The Bulldogs earned another program-record ranking Tuesday as State climbed into the second spot in the USA Today Coaches Top 25 Poll. MSU remained No. 3 in Monday’s Associated Press ranking.

Vic Schaefer’s squad rallied for tough wins against

Georgia and Texas A&M last week to improve to 27-1 overall and 13-1 in SEC play. State took sole possession of first place in the league standings heading into the final week of the regular season.

State’s first victory in College Station clinched the Bulldogs a Top 2 seed in next week’s SEC Tournament in Greenville, S.C. The Bulldogs also moved up to No. 2 in the NCAA’s final Top 16 reveal on Monday.

The Bulldogs’ No. 2 ranking comes in its 52nd-straight week in the poll. MSU has been in the Top 5 for 12-consecutive weeks and the Top 10 for 16 in a row.

Mississippi State can clinch a share of its first SEC regular-season championship Thursday when it heads to Lexington to face a Kentucky squad that moved into the Associated Press poll at No. 22 on Monday. Tip for that contest, which will be

streamed online on SEC Network +, is set for 6 p.m. CT. The Bulldogs return home Sunday to close the regular season against Tennessee.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies’ latest injury reports need a second glance, they appear a bit suspect.

Nobody is listed as hurt or nursing an injury. If someone is out, it’s simply for rest.

No knee problems requiring forward Chandler Parsons to sit. No ankle issues for reserve forward Brandan Wright. No lingering problems from point guard Mike Conley’s broken back earlier this season, and no more groin issues for defensive stalwart Tony Allen.

There’s not even foot problems for All-Star center Marc Gasol.

Having no injuries to report is a relief for a team that has been hit hard the last two years. The Grizzlies are 34-24 and sixth in the Western Conference heading down the stretch.

“I think our chemistry is starting to come,” forward Zach Randolph said.

“Guys are starting to fill into their roles and starting to play a lot better, especially on the defensive end.”

It was just a year ago on Feb. 20, 2016, that Gasol

had season-ending surgery to repair his broken right foot, sending the Grizzlies spiraling into a historical season for injuries that finished with Memphis using an NBArecord 28 players. Memphis limped into its sixth consecutive playoff appearance and was mercifully swept out of the first round by the San Antonio Spurs.

Memphis’ injury woes seemed to pick up where last season left off for the first three months of this season. Conley missed 11 games, nine with broken vertebrae in his lower back. Wright, hampered by knee issues after signing with Memphis in 2015, dealt with left ankle issues the first 49 games. Parsons, the Grizzlies’ major free agent acquisition last offseason, missed 17 games with knee problems and still doesn’t look completely healed.

That left Memphis with only nine players for a few games.

“It’s nice to have more bullets, definitely,” firstyear coach David Fizdale said. “It was fun winning with the Nasty Nine, but it didn’t feel good going into every game with the Nasty Nine, I tell you that.”

Fizdale, hired away from Miami where he assistant head coach, has had players miss a combined 130 games forcing him to adjust lineups regularly while settling into his first head coaching role. As the Grizzlies prepare for the stretch run, Fizdale says he feels prepared for anything.

“I think that was the good part about everything that has happened

to us this year,” Fizdale said. “It has prepared me for different things. Our team doesn’t panic when guys go down or when we have to rest a guy. I think that part of it was good for me from a learning standpoint.”

Gasol has recovered so well that he made his third All-Star appearance Sunday. He is averaging 20.6 points and 6.2 rebounds, along with 4.3 assists. At Fizdale’s urging, Gasol has added a new weapon to his post play and midrange jumpers. The 7-foot-1 Spaniard has converted 77 3-pointers this season - a stark improvement from the 12 combined over his previous eight seasons.

Conley also has improved, averaging 19.3 points and 6.2 assists shooting 41 percent from outside the arc. He says he doesn’t notice the back bones he broke Nov. 28 against Charlotte at all.

“I (don’t) think twice about going in the paint or anything,” Conley said.

“I’m excited about that and looking forward to a healthy second half.”

With 24 games left, Memphis is only two games behind the Los Angeles Clippers for the No. 4 seed and home-court advantage to start the playoffs. The Grizzlies, who visit Indiana on Friday night, also have an eight-game lead ahead of Denver for the final playoff spot, putting them on course for a seventh consecutive postseason appearance. Only San Antonio and Atlanta have longer active streaks in the NBA. If the Grizzlies’ current run of good health continues.

Rich potato gratin an indulgent side dish

Taste of England Bow to the king of British street food: fish and chips

BY THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA Thanks to our global food community, we have more opportunities than ever to sample cuisines from the farthest corners of the world. Even in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smallest towns, food lovers are exploring traditional Indian, Ethiopian, or Spanish tapas restaurants, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re constantly on the hunt for our new favorite.

As our palates grow accustomed to savory spices and tongue-numbing chiles, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to forget the classics of our close friends just across the pond.

With quirky names like Bubble and Squeak, Bangers and Mash, and Toadin-the-Hole, we love traditional English fare for its comfort food appeal.

When we think of classic English food, our minds wander to freshly made sausage, creamy potatoes, and rich gravy.

Flaky, tender cod in a crispy batter, served alongside twice-fried potatoes (fries, not chips, which are crisps. Got it?).

Fish and Chips Start to finish: 1 hour Servings: 4 2 pounds of skinless and boneless cod or hake fish Oil, as needed for frying Tempura Batter (recipe follows) Dipping Sauce (recipe follows) All-purpose flour, as needed Chips (recipe follows) Clean the fish and cut it into 3-inch x 11/2 -inch rectangles.

Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F. As the oil is heating, prepare tempura batter and dipping sauce.

Place all-purpose flour into a sealable plastic bag.

Place a piece of fish into the bag and shake it until the flour completely coats the fish.

Dip the fish in flour to coat it and shake off excess flour and dip it into the batter. Remove the fish using tongs and briefly let any excess batter drip off. Carefully lower the battered fish into the hot oil. When it starts to bubble, release it.

Cook until golden brown, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Place on a paper towel to soak up excess oil.

Serve hot with chips and dipping sauce.

Tempura batter Makes 4 servings 3 eggs, beaten 1 pint sparkling water 11/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder Mix all ingredients in a bowl large enough to dip the pieces of fish.

Set aside.

Dipping sauce Makes 4 to 6 servings 1 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup sour cream 3 tablespoons chopped tarragon or chopped thyme 3 tablespoons chopped parsley 2 tablespoons minced shallot 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 2 teaspoons finely chopped capers 3 finely chopped white anchovy fillets Tabasco, to taste Salt, to taste

Serves 10 to 12 Start to finish: 1 hour 30 minutes 21/2 cups heavy whipping cream 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon minced garlic 3 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes 11/2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme 1 teaspoon coarse or kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper  Preheat the oven to 400 F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.

Combine the cream, butter and garlic in a medium saucepan and bring to barely a simmer over medium high heat. Remove from the heat.

While the mixture is heating, peel the potatoes and slice them very thinly.

Combine the cheese, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Spread out half of the potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the cheese mixture.

Repeat with the remaining potatoes, and then the remaining cheese mixture. Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes, and press down on the potatoes to make sure they are mostly submerged in the liquid.

Bake on a lower rack in the oven for about 60 to 65 minutes, until the top is golden brown, and the potatoes have absorbed most of the cream and are very tender; a knife should slide in easily. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.

Chips Makes 4 servings 6 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 5-inch x ½-inch rectangles Oil, as needed for frying Pinch of salt, and as needed for seasoning Rinse, drain, and dry the potatoes thoroughly. (Alternatively, the potatoes may be held in cold water until ready to cook. Dry them thoroughly before cooking, or the oil will splatter when they are added to it.)

Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or a 14-inch wok, preferably one with a handle, over high heat until it reaches 300 degrees F. Add the potatoes, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for approximately 15 minutes, gently jiggling the pan from time to time. Do not stir, to avoid breaking the fries. Remove the fries from the oil.

Increase the heat of the oil to 375 to 400 degrees F. Add the fries back into the oil, stirring occasionally, and cook until golden brown, approximately 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly. Season with salt and serve immediately. Â

Dear Annie: I am 13 years old, and I have a problem that I am too embarrassed to talk about with anyone at home or school.

My stepbrother is 19 years old, and he enlisted in the Army after he graduated from high school.

I don’t know why I feel this way, but I am scared to death that something bad is going to happen to him.

Sometimes it keeps me up at night because I have dreams that he is either taken prisoner or killed.

I was fine when he first enlisted, but he is now overseas, and I am scared all the time.

I have never been like this before, and I can’t talk about it because I am afraid people will laugh at me and think I am a baby.

“Justin,” my stepbrother, is my best friend.

When I was 8 years old, his dad married my mom.

He told me that day that I was now his little brother and he will always be there for me.

Nobody ever had a better big brother.

I love him and look up to him as my role model.

I have learned a lot from him over the years,

Dear Annie and I miss him so much.

What can I do to stop expecting something bad to happen? — Scared and Worried Dear Scared: Justin sounds like a true American hero and an amazing brother.

It is understandable how his Army service overseas causes you to worry.

To calm your fears, try to keep in touch with him as much as you can.

Skype and FaceTime are great.

If you can’t do video chats, write to him often via email or good old-fashioned postcards.

It would really help if you shared your fears with your parents.

I promise they won’t think you are a baby.

In fact, they will probably think you are very mature for being able to express your feelings and worries. My bet is that they share some of the same feelings, and you could all be

helping one another.

When the bad thoughts come in your head, try to say, “Stop.”

Notice them in your mind and think about something peaceful that you enjoy.

What your stepbrother is doing is incredibly courageous, and I know you have the bravery inside you to fight your fears.

Dear Annie: I thought your advice to the parent of the 23-year-old daily marijuana user was perfect.

You said not to focus so much on getting him to stop — which would only make him fight back harder — and instead let him learn from his own mistakes.

I’d just like to add that one other thing that might be important for the son to understand as he enters the world of work is that many employers require a drug test as part of the hiring process.

It would be a tough way to learn the lesson his father is trying to teach him. — A Former HR Executive Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.
