The Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter is now charging for animal intakes.

The decision was made late last week by the shelter’s board of directors who said charging will help cover new labor costs due to the lost of otherwise free inmate labor.

“We have had so much trouble getting and keeping inmates lately,” said the shelter’s 70-year-old volunteer director, Charolette Doehner. “It’s hard to run a business when we don’t know if we’re going to have employees every day.”

The shelter began charging $15 per animal at intake this week. Proof of Alcorn County residency is also required.

“We truly hate to do this, but we have no other answer right now. Due to our lack of inmate labor, funding and the excessive number of animals already at the shelter, we must enact these changes,” said the director.

People who wish to bring dogs or cats to the shelter will also need to call ahead and ar-

Men charged with setting trucks on fire

TUPELO — The new Tupelo Police Department headquarters got high marks from the public Monday afternoon, according to the Daily Journal.

Following a ceremonial ribboncutting, the police department’s administrative staff took small groups on tours of the new building, including areas that the public normally would not get to see.

The $10 million, two-story building at the corner of Front and Franklin streets in downtown

Tupelo has been discussed for more than two decades. It took two rounds of bond money, plus land and cash forfeited in a government sting operation to come to fruition.

Around the same time the city issued bonds to pay for a new police station in 2007, the department got involved with a joint investigation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. That undercover operation led investigators to 25 states and resulted in nearly four dozen arrests, said Police Chief Bart Aguirre.

Officials broke ground on the new building in April 2015. After several months of delays, officers began moving into the new building in December 2016.

With the heating of the day, conditions may be favorable for an increase in severe weather potential over northeast Mississippi, with large hail, damaging winds and a tornado or two possible.

Storms should exit the area by mid to late Wednesday afternoon.

“Following a strong cold frontal passage Wednesday afternoon and

evening, breezy conditions and low humidity will spread through the Mid-south,” added NWS. Showers and thunderstorms are expected Wednesday mainly before 1 p.m. Chance of precipitation is 80 percent with highs in the 70s.

Rainfall amounts could be close to one inch. Winds could be up to 15 mph out of the south-southwest.

Wednesday night forecast includes clear skies with a low near 35.

A nearby vehicle was damaged as well.

A witness came forward and provided details to investigators about the incident, leading to the duo’s arrest.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, March 1, the 60th day of 2017. There are 305 days left in the year. Today is Ash Wednesday.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 1, 1867, Nebraska became the 37th state as President Andrew Johnson signed a proclamation.

On this date: In 1932, Charles A. Lindbergh Jr., the 20-month-old son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh, was kidnapped from the family home near Hopewell, New Jersey. (Remains identified as those of the child were found the following May.) In 1954, four Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire from the spectators’ gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives, wounding five members of Congress.

The United States detonated a dry-fuel hydrogen bomb, codenamed Castle Bravo, at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

In 1957, “The Cat in the Hat” by Dr. Seuss was released to bookstores by Random House.

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed an executive order establishing the Peace Corps.

In 1967, U.S. Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, D-N.Y., accused of misconduct, was denied his seat in the 90th Congress. (The Supreme Court ruled in 1969 that Powell had to be seated.)

In 1971, a bomb went off inside a men’s room at the U.S. Capitol; the radical group Weather Underground claimed responsibility for the predawn blast.

In 1981, Irish Republican Army member Bobby Sands began a hunger strike at the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland; he died 65 days later.

In 1997, severe storms hit Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi, and spawned tornadoes in Arkansas blamed for two dozen deaths.

Ten years ago: Tornadoes killed 20 people in the Midwest and Southeast, including eight students at Enterprise High School in Alabama.

KOSCIUSKO — Former Alcorn School District Superintendent of Education Gina Rogers Smith has been released as superintendent for the Kosciusko School District.

According to a statement released by the Board of Trustees of the Kosciusko School District this week, Smith’s final day will be June 30.

The statement also said it was a “mutual agreement” between the two parties to part ways.

The Board of Trustees will immediately begin a search for a new superintendent.

Smith served as superintendent of Alcorn schools for four years prior to losing her bid for reelection to current ASD superintendent Larry B. Mitchell.

A former Biggersville Elementary School principal, Smith served 17 years in the Alcorn school system.

effort. Over 23,000 Americans were killed, injured or missing after the two days of intense fighting at Shiloh,” added Blackburn.

The legislation will ensure the legacy of the sacrifices made at Shiloh will be preserved for future generations to appreciate and experience, she said.

“It will give the National Park Service the authority to preserve more than 2,100 additional acres of the historic Shiloh National Military Park at the Fallen Timbers, Russell House and Davis Bridge battlefields,” noted the congressman.

“Over 500,000 people visit Shiloh each year. Expanding the park to include these battlefields will create an even stronger incentive for people to visit the area and learn about Tennessee’s rich history,” she said.

Shiloh Battlefield is celebrating its 155th annivesary this year with activies from April 5-8, including 23,000 luminaries from 6-10 p.m. on Saturday, April 8.

Grant paves way for preservation of old jail

SHILOH, Tenn. — U.S. Congressman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) applauds passage of H.R. 88, the Shiloh National Military Park Boundary Adjustment Act. This legislation incorporates some of the pivotal areas of the Battle of Shiloh that lack adequate preservation; including the battlefields at Fallen Timbers, Russell House, and Davis Bridge into the Shiloh National Military Park so that they may be preserved for future generations of Americans to experience.

“I am grateful to my colleagues for their support in passing my legislation- H.R. 88 the Shiloh National Military Park Boundary Adjustment Act. My legislation is a step forward in better preserving the historical legacy of Tennessee and the United States as a whole,” said Blackburn. “The Battle of Shiloh, fought on April 6-7, 1862, was one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War up to that point.”

“At the end of two days of gruesome back and forth fighting on the fields of Shiloh, Tenn. - General Grant’s Union Army was victorious and Confederate forces withdrew towards Corinth, Mississippi. The defeat had a cascading effect that eventually led to the fall of Vicksburg in July 1863, permanently dividing the Confederacy and crippling the southern war

SELMER, Tenn. — Buford Pusser is big in McNairy County.

The chamber of commerce is taking advantage of the popularity of the historic former sheriff.

McNairy County Tourism Director Jessica Huff received a $50,000 Tourism Enhancement Grant on Monday from the State of Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development to assist in the preservation of the old jail atop the courthouse.

Huff plans to turn the old jail into an experience center revolving around Pusser.

“This a great occasion and I am real excited about what is about to transpire,” said McNairy County Mayor Ronnie Brooks. “The jail is going go be a major attraction ... Jessica hit a home run in her first time out.”

Floor to ceiling photos of Pusser will be placed around the cell block. Information panels and new windows are also also included in the preservation.

Tourists will be able to experience Pusser’s time as sheriff on their way to the old jail as photos of the former sheriff will be in the elevator, according to

School district releases ex-Alcorn superintendent

Huff.

“It will be an experience,” said Huff. “We aren’t stopping here and have a lot of other plans.”

Pusser served as sheriff in McNairy County from 1964-70.

He died in an automobile accident on Aug. 21, 1974. His old office in the courthouse basement has already been preserved.

“Buford Pusser wasn’t perfect,” added Pusser historian Steve Sweat. “But good, bad or wrong, he is McNairy County history.”

Pusser became famous after the “Walking Tall” movie trilogy was released by Bing Crosby Productions in the 1970s. The first movie was based on the “The 12th of August” book

by W.R. Morris which followed Pusser’s exploits as sheriff in his battle with illegal activity along the state line.

“It is amazing of the interest after all of these years,” said Pusser’s daughter Dwana Pusser Garrison. “I am proud to be from McNairy County.”

The tourism grants help counties and cities improve local assets to increase economic impact of tourism.

“Tourism is a huge economic driver,” said State of Tennessee Community Development Director Jody Sliger.

Sliger was on hand to present the chamber with the check.

“This is just the beginning,” said Eddie Crittendon, McNairy County Economic Development & Chamber of Commerce CEO. “Our whole thing is to bring people to the county and them spend money.”

The goal is to have the old jail open by the Buford Pusser Festival in May.

Starkville Man faces assault charge; bond set at $100,000 STARKVILLE — The Starkville Police Department arrested a 23-year-old man last week and charged him with aggravated assault.

Oxford Two men charged in residential burglary OXFORD — Two men from Oxford are accused of breaking into a home and pistol whipping

the person living there.

Justin Hilliard, 27, of Oxford and Demarquis Gipson, 22, of Oxford are charged with burglary.

The incident happened Sunday at a house on Pegues Road.

Oxford police say the two men forced their way into the victim’s house and hit the victim multiple times with a handgun in the face.

This incident is believed to be connected to an argument between these three men during the past weekend.

The victim was taken to Baptist Hospital for treatment and later released.

Hilliard and Gipson’s bonds were set at $100,000.

Tupelo Man sentenced in 2014, 2016 police pursuits TUPELO — A man who prompted police pursuits in 2014 and 2016 pleaded guilty to four felonies and will spend the next 15 years in prison, reported the Daily Journal.

John Wesley Newell, 54, of Mooreville, entered guilty pleas Monday afternoon to assaulting an officer, felony fleeing and two counts of possession of a firearm by a felon. The charges were in connection with a September 2014 high speed chase that ended with a foot chase and Newell being shot by a Lee County deputy and an October 2016 high speed chase that ended with Newell wrecking on Highway 363 east of Saltillo.

Senior Circuit Court Judge Thomas Gardner sentenced Newell to 15 years without the possibility of early release. In addition, Newell was given another 15 years suspended.

In the 2014 incident, Newell fled Tupelo police, wrecked his car and fled on foot in a heavily wooded area. When encountered by a Lee County Sheriff’s deputy hours later, Newell raised a gun at the officer, who shot and wounded Newell. A grand jury cleared the deputy of any wrongdoing in the shooting.

Judge Gardner dismissed that case when it had not gone to trial 17 months later. Weddle was successful in getting the charges put back on the docket.

In October 2016, Tupelo police tried to pull over Newell in East Tupelo. He fled, leading law enforcement on a chase that went into Itawamba County. He eventually wrecked after running over spike strips deployed by a Lee County deputy.

His vehicle crashed into a tree and caught fire, but he was not seriously injured.

Letter to the Editor

It’s time to stand with God and with Rienzi There’s been a lot of talk in Rienzi about some God hater complaining to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen concerning a Christian Flag waving over the Veterans Monument located in that town. This complaint was followed by a letter of intent from the Freedom from Religion Foundation to file charges against the Town citing that a religious Symbol on Public Property is not Constitutional The word “Religion” is mentioned one time in our Constitution and that’s in the first Phrase of the First Amendment which is in two parts. The first part reads “ Congress Shall Make no Law Respecting the Establishment of a Religion.” How can flying a Christian Flag be construed as Establishing anything, much more Christianity which was Established 2,000 years ago. The second part is easy to read and to the point: “Nor Prohibiting the Free Practice Thereof.” Is forcing the removal of a Christian Symbol from Public Property “Prohibiting the free Practice Thereof?” I believe it is and this writing proves it.

So now let’s put it together: “Congress Shall Make no Law Respecting the Establishment of a Religion, Nor Prohibiting the Free Practice Thereof” The Amendment was penned to ensure that Government wouldn’t be allowed to create a State Church but couldn’t stop Americans citizens from creating one. There is no such thing as a “Separation of Church and State” except in the delusional minds of a very small minority of God hating people who I sincerely hope learn the Truth This and every other act by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Freedom from Religion Foundation is a direct threat to our Christian Faith and it’s Biblical. Try 2 Timothy 3:12 for starters I stand with our Lord and Savior and the Town of Rienzi. Maybe you should too. God Bless you all in Jesus Holy and Powerful Name Bobby McDaniel Corinth

Be careful with Internet sales tax Mississippi’s revenue commissioner has given state lawmakers more reason to be cautious about counting on internet sales taxes to beef up the ailing state treasury.

Herb Frierson has acknowledged that his plan to require large e-commerce companies to remit sales tax to Mississippi is contrary to a 25-year-old U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

There is a nationwide effort to get the Supreme Court to reconsider that decision, which is pinching the states financially and putting brick-and-mortar stores at a competitive disadvantage. Frierson said that by adopting the regulation he has proposed, it assures Mississippi will have a seat at the table as the states try to persuade the high court that e-commerce is no longer an infant industry meriting special protection.

This legal fight could take a while to resolve.

Thus, about the only extra revenue Mississippi can count on from internet sales is what Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, has voluntarily agreed to collect and remit, starting this month. That’s estimated to run $15 to $30 million a year, a sizeable sum but probably only a half or a fourth of what’s potentially out there.

For now, online sales taxes should be treated as a potential windfall to be used to close short-term budget gaps or cover onetime expenditures. It should not be counted on to fund any recurring expenses or long-term projects, such as road and bridge repairs, as the House proposes. To do so could put an entire program at risk with one adverse court decision.

Prayer for today Almighty God, grant that I may never be so discouraged that I feel my life has been spent. Help me to so live, that I may not follow into hopeless days, but look for the bright and beautiful in to-morrow. Forgive me for all that I have asked for and accepted through willful judgment, and make me more careful in selecting my needs. Amen.

A verse to share I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High.

—Psalm 7:17

Deconstruct the administrative state Steve Bannon blew a dog whistle for constitutional conservatives when he spoke of “deconstructing the administrative state” at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Although not everyone got the reference. Trump haters interpreted the line as an incendiary call to decimate the federal government, when “the administrative state” was a more specific reference to a federal bureaucracy that operates free of the normal checks of democratic accountability.

The administrative state has been called “the fourth branch” of government. It involves an alphabet soup of executive agencies that wield legislative, executive and judicial powers and thus run outside of and counter to our constitutional system. The agencies write “rules” that are laws in all but name, then enforce them and adjudicate violations.

Boston University law professor Gary Lawson describes how this works in the case of, for instance, the Federal Trade Commission: “The Commission promulgates substantive rules of conduct. The Commission then considers whether to authorize investigations into whether the Commission’s rules have been vio-

lated. If the Commission authorizes an investigation, the investigation is conductRich ed by the Lowry C o m m i s sion, which National reports its Review findings to the Commission. If the Commission thinks that the Commission’s findings warrant an enforcement action, the Commission issues a complaint. The Commission’s complaint that a Commission rule has been violated is then prosecuted by the Commission and adjudicated by the Commission.”

Welcome to government by commission. James Madison called such an undifferentiated accumulation of powers, which the Constitution is meant to avoid, “the very definition of tyranny.” In his epic scholarship on the administrative state, Philip Hamburger argues that it is “a version of absolute power.” Constitutional law arose, Hamburger writes, to check the prerogative power of the British crown, and now the federal bureaucracy is replicating that prerogative power in extralegal practices.

If progressives in the

Trump years were truly concerned with reaffirming the democratic accountability, they’d be delighted with a prospective deconstruction of the administrative state.

But they built it and rely on it. A century-old ideological project, its roots are in the Progressive Era, and it grew apace during the New Deal and the Great Society.

The idea was to circumvent the frustrations of constitutional government, with all its natural obstacles to action, and to institute rule by experts.

The administrative state is the friend of anyone hoping to aggrandize government. President Barack Obama would have been hobbled without it. He used the Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Communications Commission to institute sweeping new regulatory regimes on carbon emissions and the internet. He imposed his preferred social policies on schools and universities through “dear colleague” letters issued by middling bureaucrats. The administrative state was exactly what he needed -- a way to govern without Congress.

A hostility to the administrative state isn’t necessarily a natural for Trump, who isn’t a limited-government conservative or a constitutional purist. Yet he

campaigned against regulation, he scorns the elite, and federal bureaucrats have already made clear their desire to frustrate his plans.

Dethroning the administrative state fits into a populist program to restore power to the people through their elected representatives.

It is chiefly Congress that needs to reassert itself vis-a-vis the administrative state. It has delegated its legislative powers over the decades, and needs to pull them back. As Adam White writes in an essay for City Journal, it should pass the REINS Act to require congressional approval for major new regulations. It should revisit laws like the Clean Air Act and the Communications Act of 1934 that give regulators too much leeway. It should limit the deference that courts give to administrative agencies.

None of this is the stuff of fire and brimstone, rather the mundane work of slowly lurching the wheels of the federal government back onto a constitutional track.

Something as entrenched as the administrative state won’t be “deconstructed” in one presidential term, or two. If it can be dialed back, though, it will be a significant victory for oldfashioned representative government.

Trump should work for better relations with the press Before becoming a newspaper columnist I was a broadcast news reporter for local TV stations and occasionally appeared on the NBC radio and television networks. I have some experience at being on the receiving end of hostilities directed at the media.

At a pro-Nixon, pro-Vietnam war rally I covered in the early ‘70s, a demonstrator looked at the NBC logo on my microphone and called me a “communist.”

We had never met. He knew nothing about my politics or the quality of my reporting.

He assumed that because I was covering the event for NBC I must be a left-wing radical.

While there is little doubt in the minds of most conservatives that a large majority of reporters and anchors at the national level hold liberal views, the way labels are applied to journalists does little to improve the quality of journalism, a profession that was once considered a craft before it became big business, eventually devolving into just another political megaphone.

tion has probably extracted maximum benefit from its frontal assault on Cal the media. It Thomas will not win converts by Columnist continuing the bashing.

Even press critics must acknowledge that a free press is essential to a strong democracy.

Here is my proposal to simultaneously preserve and strengthen democracy, while encouraging the media to do a better job.

Reporters, producers and TV bookers are people with families and, in my experience, a sense of duty. Mostly, they are friendly people who are interested in finding and reporting the truth.

Granted, their view of truth might be far different from most conservatives, but let’s start there.

The administration and other press critics should make a list of federal programs and the philosophies associated with them and conduct an objective study

as to whether they have produced the advertised results. Feelings, intentions, even ideology should have no part in the study. Did the program and associated spending solve a problem?

In terms of social services, were sufficient numbers of people helped and did those programs assist recipients to escape from government assistance and find jobs, or did they result in people becoming addicted to government, reducing their motivation?

How credible is it that someone would favor a program or support a philosophy that costs too much and delivers too little? Is the private sector having greater success in achieving certain desired ends far better than government? Many states are doing better than Washington in solving some problems. National reporters could be shown what success looks like outside the Beltway. They might ask members of Congress why they won’t embrace these models in the states they and their colleagues represent.

I have never seen anger and opposition convert any-

one. Persuasion requires a relationship that includes respect for the other person and learning how they arrived at their point of view.

I suspect most people don’t take the time to contact, much less develop relationships with journalists, or even know many people with views different from their own. Find something you can admire in a journalist’s reporting and send them a note that says so. It can include a suggestion of something they might have missed in their coverage.

A reporter is more likely to consider such a suggestion if it is accompanied with praise, rather than a heavy dose of bile.

The media aren’t going away and while conservatives can -- and should -continue to call out errors and bias, they ought to be at least as interested in changing hearts and minds, even minds that already seem made up.

Wine and Jazz event raises money for state park

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

PICKWICK — Attendees were transported to the “Big Easy” as they popped corks for cause during the 6th Annual Friends of Pickwick Landing State Park Wine Tasting.

Held at the State Park Inn, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 18, the “Wine & Jazz” event featured a great selection of wines, live music and a taste of New Orleans.

Dishes on the Cajuninspired menu included

muffaletta dip, Jambalaya-stuffed peppers, Crawfish Monica, corn maque choux and New Orleans barbecue shrimp.

Fruit, cheese, veggies, dips, olives and antipasto skewers were also served.

Bread pudding, King cake squares, banana pudding and other decadent desserts capped the meal.

Wine labels included but were not limited to Smoking Loon, Stella Wines, West Tennessee Crown, Cedar Chest Liquors and Amber Falls

Winery.

Live musical entertainment was provided by the “Harvey Thompson Jazz Trio”.

“The band was fabulous and over the top,” said Event Chair Sheri Rinks.

“We had a tremendous crowd and the event was a huge success.”

“Thanks to the efforts of all involved, we were able to raise approximately $6,000 after expenses for the park,” she continued.

“The New Orleans-inspired cuisine was delectable and we are so grate-

ful to the Captain’s Galley for catering it for us.”

With approximately 180 to 200 people in attendance, the night was well attended with many requesting that the Friends consider holding the event more often.

“I was asked if I would think about doing it once a month and I said ‘No’,” said Rinks with a laugh.

“It is a lot of fun, but too much of an undertaking to do so often.”

As their largest fundraiser of the year, the Friends group seizes the

opportunity each year to educate others on the highlights and offerings of the park. 100 percent of the proceeds after expenses directly benefit the park.

A 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, the Friends seek to provide beautification and other needs which are not funded by the state. Some of their past and ongoing projects and events have included Christmas in the Park, the lighting of the arch at the park’s entrance, the purchase of canoes and

paddles and the making loading of backpacks with educational materials, binoculars and wildlife books for children staying at the park with their parents.

A plan is currently on the table to build a House of Prey next to the park office.

“We are so thankful for all those who came out and supported our efforts to raise money for our beautiful park,” said Rinks. “We look forward to doing it again next year.”

Carnival season ending as Lent begins PwC, the academy

BY REBECCA SANTANA AND JANET MCCONNAUGHEY Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — The trumpets and horns from the marching bands blared. The crowd screamed for beads.

People paraded in costumes ranging from the politically-charged to the whimsical. And despite all the noise a 2-year-old napped.

Fat Tuesday, which marks the end of the Carnival season, started before dawn in New Orleans and wraps up with a ceremonial clearing of Bourbon Street at midnight before the fasting season of Lent begins Wednesday.

The festivities were marred in the Alabama beach town of Gulf Shores where police said a car participating in the city’s Fat Tuesday parade accidentally plowed into a band, injuring 12 people.

But in New Orleans and

elsewhere the day was marked by frivolity and fun with locals and tourists watching parades and dressing up in funky costumes.

The Clements family has been staking out the same bit of St. Charles Avenue sidewalk for more than 50 years to watch the krewes of Rex and Zulu parade. The extended family had a dozen children with them — including 2-year-old Cecile Gros who lasted until about noon before falling asleep. Her mother, Alison Gros, recalled coming one year when she was nine months pregnant.

“If I’d delivered on Mardi Gras I wanted to name her Marty — Marty Gros. But my husband didn’t really go for it. And she was born two weeks later,” she said.

Other children had also partied till they napped, sleeping in parents’ arms or strollers. Mardi Gras

may be a bawdy party in the French Quarter, but outside the Quarter, it’s often a family affair with parents dressing up their children in costumes or putting them on ladders to catch beads and trinkets.

Carnival season kicked off Jan. 6, and Fat Tuesday is generally a holiday for people in the New Orleans area. One reveler, Craig Channell who was visiting from Tampa, Florida, described it as “the one time of year people can act like fools and get away with it.”

The biggest parades take place along the St. Charles Avenue parade route, where the Krewe of Zulu kicked things off, followed by the Krewe of Rex. Pete Fountain’s HalfFast Walking Club strutted from the famed Commander’s Palace restaurant to the French Quarter, tossing beads and doubloons to record-

ings of his music. Fountain, a clarinetist, died in August of last year, but the club members — decked out from hat to shoes in nearly fluorescent lime green — were carrying on the tradition.

They dubbed it “Walking in the Limelight with Pete.”

Last year’s Mardi Gras took place on a chill February morning but the weather this year was balmy. Keyshaun Morgan, wearing short and a halter top, said she couldn’t remember the last time she’d been able to wear shorts on Fat Tuesday.

“It’s lovely. Thank you, Jesus, for this weather!” she exclaimed.

In another part of the city, people dressed in costumes took part in the St. Anne’s parade — an eclectic walking parade that starts in the Bywater and Marigny neighborhoods and ends in the French Quarter.

SHELTER CONTINUED FROM 1A

range a specific date for intake.

Doehner said most shelters throughout the state charge at least $15 per animal. Some charge as much as $75 per animal.

“Hopefully this will only be short term. Our costs are increasing every day, and while we planned to have several employees on payroll we did not know that all inmates would be pulled from us, forcing us to hire more people to help run the shelter,” she said.

According to Doehner, it takes at least six part-time employees and one full-time employee to operate the local shelter, which currently houses more than 300 dogs and cats. The additional labor has caused the shelter’s payroll and payroll taxes to increase to more than $6,000 a month.

“The funding we receive monthly from the City of Corinth, City of Farmington and Alcorn County (Board of Supervisors) to operate is only $8,200. With the added payroll costs, we don’t even have enough left over to pay all of our

bills,” said Doehner. “With utilities and medical costs, we are really struggling.”

Doehner said times have been much better.

“Beginning in 2011, we were receiving six or seven inmates from the Justice Center everyday,” she said. “It has dwindled down to zero or just one or two on the weekend.”

Doehner said she was told by supervisors during budget talks last fall that the shelter would receive three inmates daily throughout the year.

“Every year it’s the same thing ... we beg the county for funding and we beg the county for inmates – this year, they told us we were lucky to even get funded,” said Doehner.

“The supervisors have asked us not to charge for intakes, but if we don’t, the only other option is closing the doors.”

Earlier this month, Sheriff Ben Caldwell told the Board of Supervisors that his facility has been averaging 14 to 16 inmates from the Mississippi Department of Corrections who are available for labor. It started at 20 inmates for which the

county gets no reimbursement and has decreased as some have been transferred or ran into trouble.

“We’re doing the best we can with what we have,” Caldwell told the board. “We try to prioritize the county government first and then the other organizations. I wish we had 50 or 60 like we used to have.”

Some positive things are happening at the shelter.

Fundraising and donations from individuals continue to help feed and care for some animals.

The shelter was recently chosen

by Magnolia Regional Health Center’s employees as their charity of the year. Funds generated by hospital staff will go to buy new Igloo dog houses desperately needed at the shelter.

Doehner is also writing grants.

“CARE Foundation just awarded us $1,000 for heart worm testing, which is needed for any animal we send to other recuses up north,” said Doehner.

release statements on Oscars blunder Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The full text of Monday’s statement from accounting firm PwC on the best picture debacle of Sunday’s Oscars: “PwC takes full responsibility for the series of mistakes and breaches of established protocols during last night’s Oscars. PwC partner Brian Cullinan mistakenly handed the back-up envelope for Actress in a Leading Role instead of the envelope for Best Picture to presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. Once the error occurred, protocols for correcting it were not followed through quickly enough by Mr. Cullinan or his partner.

We are deeply sorry for the disappointment suffered by the cast and crew of “La La Land” and “Moonlight.” We sincerely apologize to Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Jimmy Kimmel, ABC, and the Academy, none of whom was at fault for last night’s errors. We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to each of them for the graciousness they displayed during such a difficult moment.

For the past 83 years, the Academy has entrusted PwC with the integrity of the awards process during the ceremony, and last night

we failed the Academy. “ The full text of Monday’s statement from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences: “We deeply regret the mistakes that were made during the presentation of the Best Picture category during last night’s Oscar ceremony.

We apologize to the entire cast and crew of La La Land and Moonlight whose experience was profoundly altered by this error. We salute the tremendous grace they displayed under the circumstances. To all involved — including our presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, the filmmakers, and our fans watching worldwide — we apologize.

For the last 83 years, the Academy has entrusted PwC to handle the critical tabulation process, including the accurate delivery of results. PwC has taken full responsibility for the breaches of established protocols that took place during the ceremony.

We have spent last night and today investigating the circumstances, and will determine what actions are appropriate going forward. We are unwaveringly committed to upholding the integrity of the Oscars and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.”

Order Trump declares ‘time to join forces’ signed on black colleges

BY JULIE PACE Associated Press

BY ERRIN HAINES WHACK Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday aimed at signaling his commitment to historically black colleges and universities, saying that those schools will be “an absolute priority for this White House.”

HBCU presidents are hoping Congress will bolster Trump’s actions to strengthen the schools with dramatically increased funding in the upcoming federal budget.

They are calling for $25 billion for infrastructure, college readiness, financial aid and other priorities. Under President Barack Obama’s administration, historically black colleges and universities received $4 billion over seven years.

“The next step is the budget. You cannot have mission without money,” Thurgood Marshall College Fund President Johnny Taylor told reporters outside the White House after the signing ceremony.

Many of the college presidents also went to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to lobby Congress for more funding. Taylor said the $25 billion is needed to make up for years of underfunding and would cover the country’s more than 100 HBCUs. Several presidents and HBCU advocacy organizations echoed Taylor’s sentiments.

“This is a great day for my membership and a great day for America,” said Lezli Baskerville, head of the National Association For Equal Opportunity in Education, an umbrella group for public, private and landgrant HBCUs.

WASHINGTON — Heralding a “new chapter of American greatness,” President Donald Trump stood before Congress for the first time Tuesday night and issued a broad call for overhauling the nation’s health care system, significantly boosting military spending and plunging $1 trillion into upgrading crumbling infrastructure.

Striking an optimistic tone, Trump declared: “The time for small thinking is over.”

Trump’s address came at a pivotal moment for a new president elected on pledges to swiftly shake up Washington and follow through on the failed promises of career politicians. His opening weeks in office have been consumed by distractions and self-inflicted wounds, including

the bungled rollout of a sweeping immigration and refugee executive order that was blocked by the courts.

Trump, who typically relishes flouting political convention, embraced the pomp and tradition of a presidential address to Congress. He stuck largely to his script, made occasional overtures to Democrats and skipped the personal insults he so often hurls at his opponents.

The president was greeted by enthusiastic applause as he entered the House chamber, though it was filled with Democrats who vigorously oppose his policies and many Republicans who never expected him to be elected. Most Republican lawmakers have rallied around him since the election, hopeful that he will act on the domestic priorities they saw blocked during

President Barack Obama’s eight years in office.

Topping that list is undoing Obama’s signature health care law and replacing the sweeping measure. Trump offered a basic blueprint of his priorities, including ensuring that those with pre-existing conditions have access to coverage, allowing people to buy insurance across state lines and offering tax credits and expanded health savings accounts to help Americans purchase coverage. He suggested he would get rid of the current law’s requirement that all Americans carry insurance coverage, saying that “mandating every American to buy government-approved health insurance was never the right solution for America.”

Making a direct appeal for bipartisanship, Trump turned to Democrats and said, “Why not

join forces to finally get the job done and get it done right?”

Democrats, now firmly ensconced in the minority, sat silently while Republicans stood and cheered. Some wore blue, pro-health care buttons that read “Protect our care,” and dozens of Democratic women wore white in honor of the suffrage movement.

Trump was vague in his call for tax reform, another Republican priority. He promised “massive tax relief for the middle class” and a reduction in corporate tax rates, but glossed over how he would offset the cuts.

The president also urged Congress to pass a $1 trillion infrastructure package financed through both public and private capital.

“The time has come for a new program of national rebuilding,” he said.

Conservatives rebel over Trump attacking promised health care plan entrenched practice

BY ERICA WERNER AND ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republicans confronted a conservative rebellion in their own party Tuesday over their long-promised plans to repeal and replace the health care law, and beseeched President Donald Trump to settle the dispute.

In his first speech to a joint session of Congress Trump embraced a key element of the emerging House GOP health plan, in comments that cheered Republican House leaders and could help bring conservatives back in line.

Trump’s remarks were short on details, but for the first time he announced his support for tax credits to help consumers buy health care.

House GOP leaders are structuring their health plan around those tax credits, but they’ve been running into trouble with conservatives in the House and Senate who say they amount to a costly new entitlement.

“We should help Americans purchase their own coverage, through the use of tax credits and expanded Health Savings Accounts - but it must be the plan they want, not the plan forced on them by the government,” Trump said as he called on Republicans to make good on long-held promises to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care law and replace it with something better.

The comments, cheered by many Republicans in the House chamber as

Democrats sat silent, came amid roiling debate on Capitol Hill as conservatives revolt over the tax credits and threaten to vote down a leadership plan taking shape in the House.

“He’s the leader on this issue right now; he’s the one that’s got to hold us together,” Rep. Dennis Ross of Florida said ahead of the speech as he left a meeting during which he said Republican leaders urged the rank-and-file to “’stay strong’” on health care and told them: “’Now is not the time to back down.”

The dispute comes a month into Trump’s presidency, and seven years after the Affordable Care Act passed a Democratic-controlled Congress with Barack Obama in the White House.

Now the Republicans are in charge of the White House and Congress. Yet, having spent all those intervening years promising to uproot the law and replace it with something better, they find themselves flailing and divided at the moment of truth.

“What the president can say is that the plan that gets presented to the conference is the one you need to vote ‘yes’ on,” GOP Rep. Bill Flores of Texas said ahead of the speech. “That’s how he can be helpful.”

Trump didn’t go quite that far, but he did back principles enshrined in the emerging House GOP plan, and leadership aides immediately cheered his remarks, especially his support for tax credits.

of Washington leaks

BY DAVID BAUDER AND JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press

NEW YORK — When White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer wanted to crack down on leaks last week, he collected his aides’ cell phones to check for communication with reporters. The crackdown quickly leaked.

Spicer’s losing round in Washington’s perpetual game of information whack-a-mole was hardly a surprise. In trying to plug leaks from anonymous sources, President Donald Trump and his aides are going after one of the most entrenched practices in Washington politics and journalism, an exercise that has exposed corruption, fueled scandals and spread gossip for decades.

But the practice has created several headaches for the new president, leading Trump, just weeks into his presidency, to publicly vow to try to punish “lowlife leakers” in his own administration.

“Let their name be put out there,’ Trump said before the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, accusing reporters of making up

anonymous sources and stories. He declared reporters shouldn’t be allowed to use sources “unless they use somebody’s name.” “‘A source says that Donald Trump is a horrible, horrible human being.’ Let ‘em say it to my face.”

But Trump’s administration has not been practicing what the boss preached. Despite the president’s anger about unnamed sources, White House budget officials insisted on anonymity Monday as they outlined details of Trump’s spending plans to reporters on a conference call. The budget officials ignored requests to put the briefing on the record.

Several anonymously sourced stories have driven Trump coverage: revelations that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had lied about conversations with Russians about sanctions; details of private phone calls Trump had with leaders of Australia and Mexico; draft memos of policy plans for actions like rounding up undocumented aliens.

Student gets books as consolation prize LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A University of Louisville student disqualified after hitting a half-court shot to win a basketball contest will get a consolation package for missing out on the $38,000 prize.

The Courier-Journal reported that the university’s athletic department is paying for sophomore Jackson Logsdon’s books and meal plan for the next two years.

Logsdon made a layup, free throw, 3-point shot and a half-court shot during halftime of the women’s home basketball game Thursday.

But the contest prohibited participants from playing high school basketball within the past six years. Logsdon played basketball in high school and said he never claimed he didn’t play previously. He says he knew it would be unlikely he would collect the prize.

Korbut’s gold medal nets $66,000 How much is a 1972 gold medal won by Soviet gymnast Olga Korbut worth? According to a recent auction, $66,000.

Korbut let go of five of her medals, including the gold she won in team competition in 1972.

Heritage Auctions said in a release Tuesday her 1976 gold was auctioned for more than $57,000 last weekend.

Korbut, nicknamed “The Sparrow from Minsk,” sprang onto the Olympic scene by performing acrobatics no one had seen before. She won three golds and a silver as a 17-year-old at the 1972 Munich Games, and added a gold and silver at Montreal in 1976.

Korbut, who lives in Arizona, says she sold her medals to share her Olympic experiences, not because she is in any sort of financial crisis.

Plane crashes into homes, killing 3 RIVERSIDE, Calif.

— Three people died and two were injured, one critically, when a small plane carrying them home from a cheerleading competi-

tion slammed into two Southern California homes and sparked a raging fire, authorities and witnesses said.

The twin-engine plane with five occupants had just taken off from Riverside Municipal Airport at 4:40 p.m. Monday intending to return to San Jose after the weekend Disneyland event when it crashed about a mile away in the residential neighborhood, Riverside Fire Chief Michael Moore said.

One of the survivors was hospitalized with critical burns and the other was in stable condition, police Officer Ryan Railsback said Tuesday. He said both were adult women recovering after undergoing surgery.

The remains of an adult woman were removed from the wreckage, which was still smoldering the morning after the crash, Railsback said.

The bodies of an adult man and a female teenager remained the site of the crash that destroyed two suburban houses and sent debris flying down the block of single-family homes.

One of the plane’s propellers landed on a rooftop.

“It’s unrecognizable really as a plane,” said Railsback, who added that it was “remarkable” no one on the ground was hurt.

Engineered potatoes receive approval BOISE, Idaho — U.S. officials say three types of potatoes genetically engineered to resist the pathogen that caused the Irish potato famine are safe for the environment and safe to eat.

The approval by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration late last week gives Idaho-based J.R. Simplot Company permission to plant the potatoes this spring and sell them in the fall.

The company says the potatoes contain a potato gene resistant to late blight.

Late blight is pathogen that caused the Irish potato famine.

Fungicides have been used for decades to prevent the blight.

The genetically engineered potatoes will require half of the fun-

gicide normally used by potato farmers.

The company says the potatoes also have reduced bruising and black spots and enhanced storage capacity.

Taco truck serves stranded drivers SEATTLE — A taco truck that became stranded in a massive Seattle traffic jam came to the rescue of hungry drivers by opening up and serving lunch on the interstate.

A tanker truck carrying propane rolled over on Seattle’s Interstate 5 on Monday morning, shutting area roads for about eight hours amid concerns about a hazardous materials spill.

While waiting in the jam, Rachel McQuade tells The Seattle Times (http://bit.ly/2ljsqUg ) she spotted someone walking back to her car with a to-go box of food. She says she then headed over to the Tacos El Tajin truck herself and ordered two steak and two chicken tacos for her husband.

Pot lights vex ham radio operators AUGUSTA, Maine — Retired Coast Guard officer Roger Johnson sometimes notices a harsh buzz when he turns on his amateur radio, and he blames high-powered lighting used to grow pot.

Amateur radio operators say the legalization of marijuana is creating a chronic nuisance thanks to interference caused by electrical ballasts that regulate indoor lamps used to grow pot. The American Radio Relay League wants the Federal Communications Commission to take a stand against devices that give off much more interference than federal law allows in homes.

Ham radio operators generally say they don’t have a problem with pot but worry amateur growers may not be aware that cheap ballasts can have phony FCCcompliance stickers.

The operators point out they serve as backup communication during emergencies — but concede it’s unlikely any lighting devices would still be on if the power goes out.

Reward $22,500 for suspect in death JACKSON — Authorities in Mississippi have announced a large increase in the reward for information leading to the arrest of a 28-yearold man suspected in the death of his girlfriend.

Police are seeking Alex Bridges Deaton in connection with the death of 30-year-old Heather Robinson. Robinson was found dead Friday at her apartment in Rankin County.

Her car, a white 2012 GMC Arcadia sports utility vehicle, was missing.

The Mississippi Department of Public Safety said in a Monday news release that the reward in the case has been increased from $2,500 to $22,500.

Deaton also is a suspect in the shooting of a woman who was jogging early Friday in Rankin County.

Domestic abuse divorce bill stalls JACKSON — A bill adding domestic abuse as grounds for divorce has died in committee.

Senate Bill 2703 , which passed the Mississippi Senate, wasn’t taken up Tuesday by the House Judiciary Committee Division B at a deadline for legislation to move ahead.

Committee Chairman Andy Gipson, a Braxton Republican, says domestic abuse is already covered under “habitual cruel and inhuman treatment.”

He says the bill doesn’t define domestic abuse narrowly enough.

Mississippi currently has 12 reasons for divorce, including adultery, impotence and habitual drunkenness. But people can struggle to divorce if both spouses don’t consent.

Senate Bill 2702 died in the Senate. It would have added separation for three months without intent to return as grounds for divorce.

Editor who pushed for justice dies GULF BREEZE, Fla. — Mississippi editor Stanley Dearman, who pushed for justice in the murders of three civil rights workers, died on Saturday in Florida. The death of the 84-year-old

was announced by the newspaper in Philadelphia, Mississippi, that he once published.

Dearman wrote articles and editorials in The Neshoba Democrat that helped lead to conviction of a former Klansman in the 1964 killings. His funeral and burial will be Tuesday in Philadelphia.

The civil rights workers — Andrew Goodman, James Chaney and Michael “Mickey” Schwerner — disappeared on June 21, 1964. A deputy sheriff in Philadelphia had arrested them on a traffic charge and released them, but not before alerting a mob.

Their bodies were dug up 44 days later under a dam, after Mississippi’s then-governor claimed their disappearance was a hoax.

The murders inspired the 1988 film “Mississippi Burning.”

In 1967, the federal government charged 18 people with depriving the workers of their civil rights. Only seven were convicted.

Dearman purchased the Democrat in 1966 and ran it for 34 years.

After his retirement, he became a founding member of the Philadelphia Coalition, a multiracial citizens’ group that pushed for further prosecutions in the killings.

“Come hell or high water, it’s time for an accounting,” Dearman wrote in a 2000 editorial in the Democrat.

Natchez, Vidalia to discuss recycling NATCHEZ — Although Adams County is ending its curbside recycling pilot program, the City of Natchez is continuing its program.

And, the city plans to host a meeting in April, along with neighboring Vidalia, Louisiana, to discuss the future of recycling in the area.

The Natchez Democrat reports Adams County Board of Supervisors plans to discontinue curbside recycling April 1 for the 500 houses in its pilot program. County Administrator Joe Murray has said the county is paying $10,000 annually for the program and only 100 houses are participating.

Natchez Mayor Darryl Grennell said the city curbside recycling program, which began in 2013, would continue.

He said the April meeting will be in partnership with the City of Vidalia, which no longer has a curbside recycling program.

Deep South states at risk for storms BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The National Weather Service says Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia are all at risk for severe weather today.

The Storm Prediction Center says a weather system moving eastward across the Deep South could spawn severe thunderstorms with high winds and isolated, brief tornadoes.

The areas at greatest risk include northeastern Mississippi, northern Alabama, and the northwestern corner of Georgia. The chances of strong storms are lower near the coast.

Forecasters say there’s an enhanced risk of severe weather from eastern Tennessee all the way north to West Virginia.

Woman weighs getting involved in neighborhood case of abuse D E A R ABBY: I have always tried to be a compassionate person.

I have experienced a Abigail lot of abuse, Van Buren and I’m sensitive to others who go Dear Abby through it. A man across the street from me has been arrested three times in the last six months for domestic abuse.

I rarely see a woman there, so I don’t know if the victim is a woman or a child. I moved into the neighborhood only six months ago. My elderly mother lives here with me.

I’m torn about what to do. My heart says I should reach out to the people who live there and make friends with them. My head says stay out of their business because I don’t need the drama.

How do we as a society not turn a blind eye to abuse in our neighborhoods and still protect ourselves and loved ones? I don’t want to put my mother or myself in jeopardy, but I don’t want the person/people in that house to think they are alone.

-- NO MORE IN TEXAS DEAR NO MORE: While I applaud you for being so caring,

for your own safety, I caution you to proceed very slowly in getting to know these people.

Some communities provide anonymous tip lines so citizens can report a crime without endangering themselves or their families. The best thing you can do is to keep your eyes open and if something is happening, call the police and report it. If it involves a child, contact child protective services.

DEAR ABBY: My parents and I were always close. However, recently they stole my debit card, my PIN and child support check. They forged my signature and spent the entire check, which was more than $1,000.

I am always lending them money. I have never said no when they needed it. To top it off, they lied to me about the check for an entire month. I only found out when I turned the fraud in to the bank and heard it was my parents who had committed it.

Now my account is frozen and I am wiped out. I have two kids and one on the way, and recently I lost my job. My mother keeps trying to make me feel guilty for turning them in and doesn’t understand why I am mad. I am having trouble forgiving them. I am just so angry. Should I forgive them, or do I have the right to be mad? -- FORGIVE OR FORGET IN MICHIGAN

DEAR FORGIVE OR FORGET: One of the hallmarks of abusers is that they try to make their victims think the abuse was in some way their own fault.

Your mother fully understands why you are angry.

You must not allow her to make you feel guilty.

Your parents stole from you and their grandchildren. They appear to have no conscience.

Now you know what they are capable of, it is important that you keep your distance from them, or they’ll do it again.

DEAR ABBY: Can an atheist be a godparent? -- WONDERING IN WISCONSIN DEAR WONDERING: Yes. Today, the word “godparent” does not always have explicitly religious overtones. A godparent can be anyone the parents trust to take care of their child in the event of the parents’ deaths.

However, the potential godparents and the child’s parents should discuss this in detail before any decision is made about conferring such an honor and responsibility.

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). If you can win small, you can win big. You’ll do both. Along the way, you’ll also lose on either side of the equation, and that’s just part of it. The important thing is to have courage and take none of it personally.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You may want to be different, but the point of the game isn’t to change yourself. This is about accepting yourself more and more fully. As you do this, you’ll become increasingly powerful.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Don’t worry if your focus of interest isn’t everyone’s today. A subject doesn’t have to be broadly trending to be absolutely compelling. It only has to be fascinating to you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The challenge is simple. The circumstance is straightforward.

It’s something to be protective of because this dynamic can change in an instant -- the instant a complicated person gets involved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may be changing the world, but

it’s difficult to see the change over the course of a day. That’s where hope and faith come in and on days like today it’s hard to generate that on your own.

Stick by the hopeful, faithful people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s as though there’s something in you that doesn’t like to be too good for too long. It’s the quality that keeps you absolutely riveting to some people around you. So go on and spice it up.

They’re expecting you to bring the fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Nature is one way, the facts of which cannot be changed today. However you can use what nature gives you in a way that enhances and improves your experience.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Your life is your own recipe. You may pull inspiration from various places -- the internet, fiction, friends -- but ultimately no one has the exact instructions for this dish. It’s your own magnificent creation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). You would pass one of your responsibilities onto another if there were someone around who could handle it half as well.

Alas, this is important, and if it’s to be done right, it is to be done by you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some jobs are important and urgent and must be completed quickly, for better or worse, to serve the bigger picture. Other jobs are even more important and must be handled right no matter how long that takes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

When people act right because they are afraid to do something wrong, it doesn’t count as virtuous. The true mark of good character is one who feels they have a full range of choices and yet they still choose right.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

No one can blame you for being a little extreme today. When all goes well, drudgery will be redeemed by success, and the parts remembered will be the dazzling highs and the dismal lows, not the tedium in between.

Kurt Busch emerges late to win a wild Daytona 500

.XUW %XVFK FHOHEUDWHV ZLWK KLV FUHZ RQ WKH LQĂ&#x20AC;HOG DW 'D\WRQD ,QWHUQDWLRQDO 6SHHGZD\ DIWHU ZLQQLQJ WKH 'D\WRQD RQ 6XQGD\ It also was the ďŹ rst Cup race to be divided into three stages, with top ďŹ nishers earning points in all three segments. The caution breaks associated with the segments, coupled with an unusually large number of crashes that involved more than half the ďŹ eld, pushed the race to nearly four hours in overall length.

The sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., made his return to competition after missing half of the 2016 season due to a concussion only to drop out midway after a crash.

One of the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newcomers, Chase Elliott, won the pole and his qualifying Duel and was in position to win in the closing laps, but then ran out of fuel while leading with three laps to go.

There were also some bright spots for old-timers in the sport.

One of the enduring images from the race likely will be the pitroad victory celebration of Buschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veteran crew chief Tony Gibson, who grew up in the shadows of Daytona International Speedway.

Finishing in the top ďŹ ve were two of the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-time car owners â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Wood Brothers, NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest continuously operating team, ďŹ nished second with their driver Ryan Blaney, while Richard Pettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famed No. 43 came home fourth with Aric Almirola at the wheel.

But for Kurt Busch, who has had an up-and-down career on and off the track, a win in the Daytona 500 ended years of frustration in the Great American Race.

Busch never led a lap until the ďŹ nal one. Ahead of him in the closing laps were Kyle Larson and Martin Truex Jr. Larson was the ďŹ rst to fall, running out of fuel.

Truex Jr., with heavy damage to the front of his No. 78 Toyota from an earlier incident, was no match aerodynamically for Busch, whose main damage was on the sides of his car, not the front and rear, which are the most aero sensitive. (Truex eventually ran out of fuel, too.)

Busch took the lead just as Blaney, with drafting help from Joey Logano, surged into second. Blaney appeared poised to take the lead, but his only remaining drafting help was from third-running AJ Allmendinger. However, by that point, both of them were sputtering along low on fuel. So Busch drove unchallenged to the checkered ďŹ&#x201A;ag. It was his ďŹ rst win at either Daytona or Talladega, the two tracks where restrictor plates are used to slow speeds and where teamwork is the key to victory.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the runner-up in the 500 before, including 2008, when he pushed his then-Penske teammate Ryan Newman to victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always looked for Newman to hang out with me in 2009, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;11, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;12, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;13, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;14,â&#x20AC;? Busch said with a chuckle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was never there. Everybody is very selďŹ sh in this garage.â&#x20AC;?

Busch also ďŹ nished second to Michael Waltrip in 2003, and to Jeff Gordon in 2005.

In 2007, he had a car capable of winning, but wrecked with Tony Stewart, who now is his car owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a tough defeat because one of us should have ended up in Victory Lane that day,â&#x20AC;? he said.

In 2011, he won the Clash, his qualifying Duel and was running third on the last lap of the 500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t close the deal in 2011,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That one stung the most.â&#x20AC;?

Through it all he never gave up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to have a top team,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stewart-Haas has been that for me. This year, all the pieces came together. You always have to believe it can happen.â&#x20AC;?

For Gibson, who has been a part of Daytona 500-winning teams before, but never as a crew chief, it was an emotional victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was born in Halifax Hospital across the street,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mom retired from [Daytona International Speedway]. My dad raced all his life. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had some great drivers drive his stuff. ... â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growing up, where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at today, my wife, Beth, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been my biggest supporter for the last 26 years, sticking with me when things are bad ... All those emotions just clamp on you at one time. It takes a few minutes for it to sink in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty incredible.â&#x20AC;?

Ryan Reed puts Roush Fenway Racing back in Victory Lane When Xfinity Series driver Ryan Reed got his first series win at Daytona International Speedway in 2015, it was mostly a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

On Saturday, he got his second win at Daytona, and his second in the series, by making all the right moves to outmaneuver a group of experienced drivers in the final laps of the Powershares QQQ 300.

Reed, who races despite having Type 1 diabetes, put a key block on Kasey Kahne to hold the lead, then kept Kahne and the rest of the pack at bay over the final lap and a half to secure the win.

It was the first victory for Reedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roush Fenway Racing team since Chris Buescher won an Xfinity race at Dover International Speedway on May 30, 2015.

The race was a wreck-fest at times, which several drivers attributed to a new aerodynamics package that made the rear end of the cars more unstable and thus harder to drive.

There were several multi-car crashes, including two that brought out the red flag and halted the race for a total of 46 minutes. Reed was involved in one of those incidents, at Lap 104. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a lot of very aggressive driving, I felt like, and by myself at parts,â&#x20AC;? Reed said in his winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once I kind of got shuffled out early trying to be aggressive, I took a step back and felt like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, you know what? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just calm it down, get to the end of this thing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Kahne finished second ahead of Austin Dillon, who was driving a badly damaged car, Brad Keselowski and Brendan Gaughan.

In somewhat of a repeat of Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Camping World Truck Series race, one driver led the most laps and won the first two stages, but wrecked before the finish.

On Friday, that driver was Johnny Sauter; on Saturday, it was Elliott Sadler.

Sadler led a race-high 40 laps, but was collected in a crash and finished 24th.

But with his points earned from winning the first two stages, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still third in the standings, 14 points behind the leader, Reed.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to NASCAR racing for the first time since being sidelined by a concussion midway through the 2016 season ended in a crash on the 105th lap of the Daytona 500.

Earnhardt was running with the leaders when Kyle Busch suddenly spun sideways due to a flat tire. Several drivers slammed into Busch, including Earnhardt, who briefly ended up on his leftside wheels before striking the outside wall.

His No. 88 Chevrolet was too damaged to continue, but Earnhardt did not appear to be injured. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what happened there with 'DOH (DUQKDUGW -U VPLOHV SULRU WR 6XQGD\¡V [Busch]; he just got 'D\WRQD turned around,â&#x20AC;?

Earnhardt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried to get the wheel turned and get down the race track, but I lifted off the gas to miss it, and got on the splitter a little bit and the car went straight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We jumped him, and got in the wall a little bit. Wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too hard of a hit. We thought we could get the car fixed, and get back out there and see what we could do with the rest of the day and make up some spots maybe, but there is just too much damage.â&#x20AC;?

Earnhardt said that despite the premature end to his race, he felt his comeback was a success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really enjoyed the whole week,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of fun.

Everybody was looking forward to getting back to the race track. It meant a lot to me. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just sorry we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to deliver a better result today for all our fans and everybody that was looking forward to today. ... â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luckily the hit wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that hard and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to get to Atlanta and compete again. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a fun season, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got pretty high spirits. This was not the result we wanted today, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great week.â&#x20AC;?

Kaz Grala becomes youngest-ever winner at Daytona Camping World Truck Series rookie Kaz Grala steered his way through a violent last-lap crash in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona International Speedway to get his first win in a major NASCAR series.

Grala, from Westborough, Massachusetts, also became the youngest winner of a major NASCAR race at Daytona at 18 years, 1 month and 26 days. Earlier Friday, he had earned that honor for a Daytona pole-sitter.

Gralaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Truck Series colleague Cole Custer holds the overall age record for a win at 16 years, 7 months and 28 days. Custer won at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, a one-mile oval. NASCAR allows drivers as young as 16 to compete on road courses and ovals under 1.1 miles. Drivers must be 18 to race on bigger tracks such as Daytona.

That last-lap wreck on the backstretch was touched off when Grant Enfinger bumped Ben Rhodes in an apparent attempt to give him a drafting boost. But Rhodes lost control and spun, collecting a host of drivers that included veterans Johnny Sauter, Timothy Peters and Matt Crafton. Craftonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck went airborne, flipped over and landed on Sauterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck.

There were no injuries reported.

Austin Wayne Self emerged to finish second over Chase Briscoe, while John Hunter Nemechek recovered from a spin just a few laps earlier to finish fourth ahead of his father, Joe Nemechek.

Grala said in his winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interview that his GMS Racing team prepared a fast truck, which made up for his lack of experience on a superspeedway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like I had all the pieces I needed, other than that key experience piece,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout the beginning of the race, I got some of that experience â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not nearly as much as a lot of those guys out there, but enough to feel like I had my bearings slightly.â&#x20AC;?

Sauter, the defending series champion, finished 15th after the last-lap wreck, but under NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new format, which breaks races up into stages, he had something to show, pointswise, for his early dominance of the race.

Sauter won the first two stages, which earned him 20 championship points plus two playoff points. He leaves Daytona second in the standings, 14 points behind Grala.

Correction It was recently reported that the Biggersville Lions last trip to the state tournament in Jackson was the 201213 season when they won it all.

The Lions also made the quarterfinals in Jackson last season (201516) after defeating Shaw in the second round. They ended up dropping their first game at the “Big House.”

The Lady Lions also advanced to the state semifinals before being eliminated by eventual state 1A champion Boggue Chitto.

We apologize for the error and are happy to make the correction.

What’s Going On Around Here?

BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Spring doesn’t officially begin until later this month, but spring sports are in full swing right now as all area teams kicked off their respective baseball and softball sesons this past week.

And don’t forget about track, golf and tennis.

Last weekend saw a handful of baseball squads begin their seasons at the Booneville Classic at Harold T White Stadium.

Alcorn Central split a pair of conests on Saturday, dropping their opener to defending state 1A champion East Union 7-1 before bouncing back in the next game to de-

feat Walnut 10-2 and hand the Wildcats their first loss.

Speaking of Walnut, coach John Meeks, who also doubles as the head football coach of the Wildcats, watched his team win their opener 10-2 over Jumpertown before falling to the Golden Bears.

Host Booneville split a pair of games, losing their opener to Tishomingo County 11-1 before bouncing back to topple Sheffield (Ala.) 11-0.

Tishomingo County won both of their contests in convincing fashion, beginning with their 10-run victory over the Blue Devils and then a 7-0 blanking of TCPS in the late game finale Saturday.

Corinth was also in ac-

tion last weekend in Tupelo, where they lost their opener to Saltillo 4-2 before rebounding to defeat the homestanding Golden Wave 7-3 in the nightcap.

Thrasher won both of their opening games in the Thrasher Classic, defeating Blue Mountain 17-2 and then topping Shannon 2-0.

Biggersville played their season-opener at home but lost to Cherokee (Ala.) 11-0.

There were also numerous softball openers during the past weekend and several area teams got off to a good start as they seek to win division titles in May.

Powerlifting The Mississippi 3A power-

lifting North Half meet will get underway this Friday at Kossuth High School and the public is invited.

The event will begin at 11 a.m. at the Kossuth High School gym with admission being $5 at the door. Teams from Kossuth, Alcorn Central, Booneville, Aberdeen, Belmont, Nettleton, Charleston, Water Valley, Independence, Ruleville, MS Palmer and more will be on hand.

Crayton was a McNairy County sports trailblazer

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

While she was still too young to have a driver’s license, one Guys teenager helped pave the path for other young AfricanAmerican girls to play high school basketball in McNairy County.

There is likely no one else in the county who can say they played a more key role in integration than Charlotte Avery Crayton. She broke the color barrier for the Ramer basketball girls during the 1968-69 season in the final year of the high school.

Crayton did the same the

next season at McNairy Central because she was the lone African-American on the team in 1969-70. It is appropriate to recognize Crayton’s achievements during just-completed Black History Month.

It is no surprise the Avery family was a big part in sports integration in our school system. The family was well known for their love for God, education and basketball.

If there was a roll call for the “first family” of basketball in McNairy County, the Avery family would be one of the families in the room.

Sadly for McNairy Central,

Eboni Crayton (Charlotte’s daughter) and Erika Wright Donnell (Charlotte’s niece) were the last Avery family members to wear blue and gold until the next generation.

“The path to being the first African-American to play at Ramer was very exciting for me to try out and make the team.

It was very easy,” Crayton said.

“I already knew Gloria Smith, Kathy Hamm and a few others, but did not have a relationship with any of the older players, and we had a veteran team my freshman year.”

Crayton said the players meshed together once they got

to know each other. Their main goal was to get through the tough practices under coach Marvin Williams.

“We did not have time to dislike each other because we were too tired and mad at him,” she laughed. “He always had us in superb condition and that helped us win more games.”

Her dedication to Williams is evident because he helped guide her through what could have been a tumultuous time in her life.

She played guard in the three-on-three style of basketPlease see CRAYTON | 13A

Ole Miss begins spring football practice Ole Miss Sports Information

OXFORD — Ole Miss hit the practice fields to officially open 2017 spring football drills on Tuesday.

The team will train throughout the month of March and into early April, culminating with the annual Grove Bowl on Saturday, April 8.

Head coach Hugh Freeze addressed the media prior to Tuesday’s practice.

Among the top things to look for this spring are the return of senior running back Jordan Wilkins and sophomore running back Eric Swinney to help bolster the Rebels’ rushing attack, senior defensive end Marquis Haynes leading the way for the defense, and sophomore Shea Patterson taking his next steps as the Rebels’ signal caller.

Below is an outlook and

position-by-position breakdown heading into spring ball.

2017 Spring Outlook After Ole Miss made a bowl game and improved its win total in each of Hugh Freeze’s first four seasons, the Rebels are looking to bounce back from a tough 2016 campaign and return to their winning ways.

The Rebels head into

spring ball with a number of new faces on the coaching staff and will seek a renewed vigor following last fall’s 5-7 season that saw Ole Miss upend nationally ranked Georgia at home and Texas A&M on the road.

New offensive coordinator Phil Longo has a lot to work with in order to keep the Rebels among the naPlease see SPRING | 13A

Rooker named National Hitter of the Week Mississippi State Sports Information

STARKVILLE — In advance of the first road trip of the young season, Mississippi State outfielder Brent Rooker was named National Hitter of the Week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and head coach Andy Cannizaro met with the media to preview the upcoming three-game series at Oregon.

On Monday, Rooker was named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week and

a National Player of the Week

by Collegiate Baseball, following a three home run, 14 RBI week that included a 4-for-4, eight RBI game on Friday vs.

Indiana State and a 4-for-4, six RBI encore vs. Marist on Saturday.

With a .474 batting average on the week (9-for-19), Rooker also posted a .583 on-base percentage on the week and a 1.158 slugging percentage. On the year, Rooker leads the SEC in RBIs (17), total bases (27) and stolen bases (eight), while

ranking second in doubles (five).

Rooker is also nominated for the USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award Gold Standard Performance of the Week.

Fans can vote for Rooker here and the winner will be announced on Thursday.

Cannizaro, along with outfielder Jake Mangum, infielder Luke Alexander and pitcher Peyton Plumlee met with the media on Tuesday to talk about State’s upcoming three-game weekend series at

Oregon. The series marks the first games away from Dudy Noble Field for the Bulldogs this season.

It was announced that Plumlee (2-0, 0.64 ERA) will get the start vs. the Ducks on Saturday, while LHP Konnor Pilkington (1-1, 3.18 ERA) will remain the Friday starter.

Sunday’s starting pitcher is to be announced.

The three-game series against Oregon will open Friday at 8 p.m. at PK Park in Eugene.

South Carolina tops Mississippi State The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Sindarius Thornwell scored 17 of his 22 points in the second half and Duane Notice hit a foul shot with 3:11 left that put South Carolina ahead for good in a 63-57 victory over Mississippi State on Tuesday night.

Notice added his only basket, a 3-pointer with 2:12 to go, that extended the lead for the Gamecocks (22-8, 12-5 SEC) who won the second-most Southeastern Conference games in their history and clinched one of the top

four seeds for next week’s league tournament. Not that it was easy.

Mississippi State (1415, 5-12), playing without injured leading scorer Quinndary Weatherspoon, erased a 10-point deficit midway through the half and took a 52-50 lead on Tyson Carter’s 3-pointer with 4:29 to go. But Thornwell tied things up with two foul shots before Notice’s go-ahead free throw.

Mississippi State finished with 20 turnovers as it lost its seventh straight and ninth in the past 10 games.

CRAYTON CONTINUED FROM 12A

ball and still wishes she had gotten to play more of a role on offense in high school. Crayton was twice named All-State while at McNairy Central.

“Charlotte was one of the best players I ever coached,” Williams said.

“She could have played guard or forward, but we needed her more on defense. Charlotte would shut down whichever player I asked her to guard.”

Crayton began school at St. Rest Elementary in Guys and attended there from the first- through fifth-grades. She was then moved to Ramer School after a number of neighborhood schools in the county were closed because of integration. Crayton’s aunt, Lois Avery, was the principal at St. Rest.

The conversation gets emotional when Crayton talks about her beloved parents, the late Albert & Ora Avery.

The Averys raised seven children.Five of the seven followed the family tradition of being educators as teachers. Crayton teaches at Selmer Middle School.

She and her sister Sheila Durr were on the same staff at SMS. Her sisters — including Durr, Beverly Ratliff and Donna Wright — have retired as school teachers.

Wright runs a daycare in Corinth. Pamela Young teaches in the Memphis school system, Kim Wright works for NASA as an engineer. The only brother, Larry Avery, passed away on June 28. 2016.

“Coach Williams, a great coach, saw something in me as a sixth-grader and encouraged me,” remarked Crayton. “I had won so many races in my first Ramer Field Day that I eased up to let others have a chance to win a race.

Coach came over to me and told me to win every race. I never forgot that and won every race after that.”

A teenager and a freshman at the time, Crayton did not think about the historical significance of

what she was doing as a basketball player at Ramer in 1968.

“I was not worried about black and white issues, I just knew we had the same purple jerseys.”

You could almost see the goosebumps pop up on her arm when she said it.

“If we keep talking about this, I’m going to start crying,” she commented.

Ramer was just a threeyear stop for Crayton on her way to McNairy Central. She made it clear she loved her years at Ramer and how that time prepared her for life at McNairy Central.

Crayton also bragged on her junior high basketball coaches Bip Stanfield and Billy Armstrong for their coaching and fundamentals at Ramer.

Crayton enjoyed her years at MCHS. She later played college basketball at Jackson State Community Colllege and University of Tennesee-Martin.

She laments the fact women’s basketball did not grow until after she finished her career.

She has been married to Harry Crayton for 37 years. They have three children, Jermaine, Skylar and Eboni.

“If I helped any young African-American or any young girl to know that when the opportunity is there, you have to be ready,” said Crayton. “I believe that every girl possess indestructible strength that allows them to not settle for average. Bring your best to the moment.

Then, whether it fails or succeeds, at least you will know you gave it all you had. I tell my children and my students to set your goals high and then work hard to achieve them.

“My parents instilled in our home that it is not differences that divide us, it’s our inability to recognize, accept and celebrate those differences.”

Crayton is a great example of someone who took lessons taught by her parents and is passing them on to other generations.

Miscues plague Rebels in loss to Memphis Ole Miss Sports Information

OXFORD — The No. 8 Ole Miss baseball season saw its unbeaten start to the season come to an end Tuesday evening as Memphis claimed a 9-6 win at Swayze Field. The Rebels (7-1) could not overcome four errors that led to five runs for the Tigers (5-2).

Ole Miss and Memphis scattered nine hits apiece throughout the contest, including a game-high three by junior second baseman Tate Blackman.

Freshman Grae Kessinger added his first home run of his Rebel career with a three-run shot in the second inning, while junior Kyle Watson went 2-for4 in a multi-hit performance.

With Will Ethridge a late scratch as the probable starter due to the flu, fellow freshman Greer Holston (0-1) was called upon to make his first career start. Holston pitched four innings on short notice and struck out four Tigers looking. Two other freshmen pitched in the contest as Houston Roth tossed 2.2 scoreless innings of relief, and Oxford native Jason Barber made his debut in

the ninth.

Andy Bowman, Colton Neel and Alec Trela recorded multi-hit games for Memphis. Bowman hit two doubles, while Neel and Trela both hit home runs. The Rebels pegged Memphis starter James Muse for four runs in 2.0 innings, but the lefty duo of Drew Crosby and Hunter Smith pitched 5.0 scoreless frames. Jonathan Bowlan (3) pitched the ninth to earn the save.

Holston retired the side in the first, and the Rebels wasted no time putting a run on the scoreboard. As the leadoff hitter, Blackman singled to left before advancing to second after a Ryan Olenek walk. The pair of Rebels advanced 90 feet each after a failed pickoff at second, and Ole Miss took advantage of the miscue. Will Golsan hit a ball to center field deep enough to score Blackman and give his team a 1-0 after the first inning of play.

The lead didn’t last long as Memphis answered with three runs in the top of the second. The Tigers used an RBI and two sacrifice flies to take a 3-1 lead, but the Rebels coun-

tered to turn the game back in their favor. Chase Cockrell took one for the team, getting hit by a pitch, and Watson doubled down the left field line. With two ducks on the pond, Kessinger left the yard with a three-run blast into the Ole Miss bullpen. Just like that, the Rebels had the lead back at 4-3.

Memphis added runs in back-to-back innings to regain a one-run advantage, 5-4. Neel homered down the left field line in the third, while the Tigers’ third sac fly of the game broke a 4-4 tie in the fourth. The visitors looked to build their lead one inning later, loading the bases with one out against reliever Andy Pagnozzi. However, the righty worked out of the jam, striking out the slugger Bowman to keep Memphis scoreless in the frame and the deficit at one.

An error-filled sixth inning allowed three more runs to cross the plate and increase the Memphis lead to four, 8-4. Three unearned runs were surrendered due to three errors made around the

infield.

Ole Miss cut into the margin in half with a pair of runs in the bottom of the eighth. Colby Bortles and Cole Zabowski started the scoring frame with a couple of singles, while Cockrell moved the two over on a groundout to the pitcher. With a grounder to the right side of the infield, Nick Fortes knocked in Bortles, and Zabowski scored on a wild pitch during the next at-bat.

Memphis added an insurance run in the ninth on a solo blast by Trela.

Bowlan, the Tigers’ closer, sent the Rebels down in order to earn the save.

Looking to get back to their winning ways this weekend, Ole Miss will hit the road for the first time this season to participate in the Shriners Hospitals for Children College Classic (March 3-5).

Competing in one of the most prestigious regular season tournaments in the country, Ole Miss will face three Big 12 teams in Baylor (March 3), No. 10 Texas Tech (March 4) and No. 1 TCU (March 5) at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas.

clude Jacob Peeler (wide receivers), Bradley Dale Peveto (linebackers/special teams) and Freddie Roach (defensive line).

Ole Miss welcomes back 60 lettermen and 11 position starters from last season, including five starters on the offensive side and six on defense.

It’s an exciting time of year as the weather begins to warm up and the trees and flowers start to

bloom once again.

And a variety of sports to boot. There’ll be something for every fan to choose from with at least five sports blending together at the same time.

Good luck to all our area schools in your endeavors for athletic excellence and possible state berths.

Vermillionaire cuphea is one plant that has definitely earned its spot in my landscape. This is a heat-loving plant that flowers from spring to frost. Last year, Vermillionaire flowered all the way into November in my coastal Mississippi garden.

It produces abundant fiery, hot yellow, red and orange tubular flowers up and down the stems and all over the entire plant.

It literally was a mound of flowers and quite the sight all summer long in my garden. The flowers are butterfly and hummingbird magnets.

Vermillionaire is a nice-sized plant that is great in patio containers. By the end of summer, mine reached about 3 feet tall with an almost equal spread growing in a large container in my landscape. Plant in the full sun for the best flowering and tighter growth.

It will really put on a show

Vermillionaire is a nice-sized plant that is great in patio containers.

By the end of summer, mine reached about 3 feet tall with an almost equal spread growing in a large container in my landscape. with consistently moist soil and regular feeding.

Vermillionaire cuphea is perennial in zones 8a and warmer, but you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disappointed growing it as a flowering annual.

Flowering Landscape Shrub Category Conversation Piece Azalea is a great alternateseason-blooming azalea that displays gorgeous flowers in midspring and then again in the fall.

The flowers are amazing and typically almost 4 inches across. But whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most unique about Conversation Piece is that the flower colors are diďŹ&#x20AC;erent on the same plant. One shrub will display flowers from dark pink to nearly white, while another will have flowers ranging from variegated to white splashed with dark center blotches. It is truly a conversation piece!

This azalea is perfect for small landscape spaces, and it typically matures at about 3 to 5 feet tall and wide. Be sure to plant in landscape beds with good drainage but even, consistent soil moisture. Always add a layer of mulch. For azaleas, I particularly like using pine straw.

or balcony will love this award-winning cucumber. Patio Snacker lives up to its name, as it is a terrific producer in a tight space.

The plants produce a short, 3- to 5-foot vine that is perfect for trellising. The vigorous plants bear fruit that are perfectly crunchy and not bitter when picked at under 1 1/2 inches wide and 6 inches long. Patio Snacker is â&#x20AC;&#x153;parthenocarpic,â&#x20AC;? meaning it produces fruit without insect pollination, making it perfect for an urban home garden. If consistently picked, these plants will continue to produce cucumbers all summer long.

These plants are ideal to plant in 3- to 5-gallon containers, with one plant per container.

Fruit Tree Category Japanese persimmon, also known as oriental persimmon or Fuyu persimmon, is the final Mississippi Medallion winner this year. Its fruit look like squat, flattened, orange tomatoes.

This generally small tree from Asia produces sweet and juicy fruit.

Its flavor is quite unlike our native persimmons, which have unripe fruit with a lot of pucker power. These trees are easy to grow. Since they have few pests, the trees require minimal maintenance.

The fall foliage can range from red to orange.

When the fruit are ripening in the fall, they look like little pumpkins hanging on a tree.

Look for these and other Mississippi Medallion plants at your favorite local nursery and garden center.

Banana oat muffins make a quick breakfast Banana oat breakfast mini-muffins

BY MELISSA Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ARABIAN Associated Press

Like many families, we try to minimize the amount of processed sugar we eat.

But, it is lurking everywhere, and we are eating far more processed sugar than our grandparents did. How to combat this trend that seems to have sneaked up on us?

A few ideas: First, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s read the ingredient list and nutritional information on labels of every single food item we put in our carts. That sounds like a lot of work, but as we get familiar with our favorite foods, the task will become less daunting.

Second, buy more foods without labels. When we buy whole foods and then cook them ourselves, we know exactly what is going into them. Third, favor sugar from natural, unprocessed, whole sources. While fruit-sweetened foods still have sugar, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a highly-processed derivative, and it brings with its sweetness a full set of other

nutrients. Bananas, apples and dates bring vitamins, PLQHUDOV DQG ÂżEHU DORQJ ZLWK their sugars. Try recipes using them as sweeteners.

Last, keep production of treat items in-house, meaning make less healthy items homemade, so you can control what goes in. Craving brownies? Make them at home, so at least you see exactly what is going into

the recipe, and you can even search online for slightly healthier version if you want.

My banana oat morning PLQL PXĚ&#x2021;QV GRQÂśW XVH DQ\ white processed sugar, and yet are just sweet enough to scratch the sweet-tooth itch.

I usually bake a batch or two and freeze them for a quick breakfast or snack. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re small so they thaw in minutes.

Servings: 26 muffins Start to finish: 40 minutes 1/2 cup (gently packed) pitted dates 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or other oil or butter) 2 medium bananas, ripe, roughly chopped 2 eggs, room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 11/4 cups rolled oats 3/4 cup almond flour 11/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the wet ingredients: Place the dates in a small bowl and pour 1/2 cup boiling water on them and let them sit for 5 minutes to soften.

2QFH VRIW SRXU RĚ&#x2020; WKH excess water (do not drain; leave them very wet), and use a fork to smash the dates

gently into a loose paste. In a stand mixer using the whisk attachment (or hand mixer), mix the date paste, coconut oil and bananas on medium high speed until soft and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each one, and add the vanilla. Prepare the dry ingredients: Place the oats in a dry blender or food processor and pulse until oats become a coarse powder.

Pour into a bowl and add DOPRQG Ă&#x20AC;RXU EDNLQJ SRZGHU and soda, cinnamon, and salt and whisk to mix. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients half at a time, mixing after each addition. If the dough becomes too thick for the whisk attachment, fold in using a rubber spatula.

Craving a taste of Ireland? Try warm, rich scones

Celebrate St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with seared lamb chops and mint herb sauce

BY SARA MOULTON Associated Press

St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, aka the Feast of St. Patrick, is devoted not only to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the wearing oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the green,â&#x20AC;? but the eating of the green. Both customs nod to the color of the shamrock, one of the great totems of Ireland, of which Patrick is the patron saint.

Like the shamrock, mint is green, which helps to explain why recipes for lamb with a sweet-and-sour mint sauce abound in Ireland (and throughout the British Isles).

My version of the sauce isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sweet but it is bright green, GHHSO\ Ă&#x20AC;DYRUIXO DQG UHIUHVKLQJ a tangy complement to some thin and crispy lamb chops.

The lamb chops available in our supermarkets usually come from America or New Zealand.

American chops tend to be ODUJHU DQG PLOGHU LQ Ă&#x20AC;DYRU EXW either kind would be delicious here. I call for these rib chops to be pounded, which creates more surface area, which means a more delicious crust on the chops once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been seared in the skillet.

If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to spring for rib chops â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they can be a tad pricey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; use shoulder chops instead. Shoulder chops

are tasty, but the bone in the center of the chop will prevent you from pounding them.

Because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thicker than the pounded rib chops, they require a little more cooking time.

What to serve with these chops? Irish tradition calls for potatoes. Just slice some Yukon Golds about 1/4-inch thick, toss them with oil, salt and pepper, and roast them in a 400 F oven until golden.

Seared lamb chops with mint herb sauce Start to finish: 40 minutes.

Servings: 4 1/2 cup finely chopped mint 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 2 tablespoons minced shallot 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon salt Eight trimmed, Frenched rib chops (about 2 ounces each) Black pepper In a small bowl combine the mint, parsley, 3 tablespoons

of the olive oil, shallot, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic and salt; set aside.

Working with one chop at a time, sprinkle it generously on both sides with water. Place the chop in a large re-sealable bag or between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound the chop using either a meat pounder or a rolling pin until it is 1/4-inch thick.

Repeat the procedure with the remaining chops. Pat them all dry.

In a large skillet heat half the remaining oil over high heat.

Season half the chops with salt and pepper on both sides and add them to the pan. Saute until nicely browned, about 1 minute a side. Transfer to a platter and keep covered loosely with IRLO 3RXU RĚ&#x2020; WKH IDW DGG 1/4 cup water and simmer to clean the SDQ 'XPS RĚ&#x2020; WKH ZDWHU DQG wipe out the skillet. Repeat the procedure with the remaining chops and the remaining oil. Transfer the chops to the platter and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving. Add any juices from the platter to the herb mixture.

To serve, transfer two chops to each of four plates and top each portion with a heaping spoonful of the mint herb sauce.

Is it not enjoyable to take advantage of another cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday to explore new recipes and treat yourself to something delicious?

It is.

And is St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day not right around the corner?

Moist, biscuit-y Irish scones, lashed with rich butter and a few slices of smoked salmon top my list of Irish culinary yearnings this March 17.

European-style butter PDNHV D ELJ GLĚ&#x2020;HUHQFH in this dish; it has a slightly higher butterfat content than everyday supermarket butter.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sticking close to the theme, look for good Irish butter.

The less you handle the dough the better. Over-mixing will activate proteins in the Ă&#x20AC;RXU PDNLQJ WKH EDNHG goods a bit tough. The dough might seem a OLWWOH VWLFN\ WKDWÂśV ÂżQH just work quickly and nimbly, and make sure the work surface is ZHOO GXVWHG ZLWK Ă&#x20AC;RXU Lightly dust the top of the dough too so that \RXU ÂżQJHUV ZRQÂśW VWLFN to it when you pat it out for cutting into circles.

These scones are not too sweet, as their LQWHQGHG ÂżOOLQJ LV VPRNHG VDOW\ ÂżVK EXW if you want scones to slather with butter and jam, you might add another tablespoon or two of sugar.

Irish scones with smoked salmon Makes about 10 scones Start to finish: 25 minutes 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for patting out the dough 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt

3/4

cup (11/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1 cup milk, preferably whole 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk About 3 tablespoons softened unsalted butter for serving 1/2 pound good-quality smoked salmon Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Turn the dough RQWR WKH Ă&#x20AC;RXUHG ZRUN surface, and roll or pat it out to 11/4-inch thick.

Cut out 21/2-inch circles with a biscuit cutter, as close as possible to one another. Gently pat together the scraps so they are 11/4-inch thick, and repeat. Place them on the prepared baking sheet at least 1 inch apart. Beat the egg with 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl, and use a pastry brush to lightly brush the top of each scone with the egg mixture.

Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Split them with a fork, or cut them with a sharp knife, spread the butter evenly between the scones, layer some salmon onto each bottom half, and place the scone tops over the salmon.

Estate planning is an unpleasant task WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: After a difficult life, I was fortunate to meet and marry the perfect man. He is everything I dreamed of and more. We are blessed with a daughter, who is now doing well at a prestigious university.

Our now-empty nest has been nice and intimate.

I was a stay-at-home mom during our daughter’s school days, and since our girl went away to college, I have been a stay-at-home wife, supporting my husband the best I can and doing my best to make the few hours he has away from work enjoyable and happy.

But there is one problem we have. He refuses to talk about making plans for how our affairs should be taken care of upon our death.

He is in his late 50s, and I am in my 60s. We both are blessed with good health, but I know we will not live forever.

But anytime the subject comes up, he shuts down and goes to bed without any discussion. To his credit, he is always short of sleep because of his career, which he is passionate about and I support.

He is so generous and dedicated, but this is one subject he will not deal with. We have no will or trust, but I get the feel-

Dear Annie ing he would be fine with anything I would want to arrange financially. As far as what to do with our bodies upon death goes, though, that’s something we would need to decide on together.

Even though I am older than he is, my family has a history of living long, and his family does not.

And there is always a possibility we will go at the same time in some kind of accident.

I wouldn’t want my grieving daughter to have to decide what to do with our bodies on top of everything else she would have to deal with. I love this man so much, but I don’t know what to do about this. How can I handle this? — Very Happy Family Dear Happy: Marriage makes life a tag-team sport. Estate planning isn’t one of your husband’s strong suits, whether it’s because he simply feels too tired to face such a big task or he’s uncomfortable with the subject of death.

Fortunately, you seem equipped to tackle this challenge on behalf of you both.

Tell your husband that you’ll prepare a draft of the will and that he can simply sign off on it or make revisions before it’s finalized. My guess is that he’ll be relieved.

Once the will is behind you, you’ll have the peace of mind to enjoy the rest of your lives together even more.

Dear Annie: I’m a 75-year-old retired teacher. It doesn’t bother me when a store clerk calls me “honey.” I’m fine when the young woman who works in my husband’s nursing home refers to me as “dear.”

If the receptionist at my hair salon greets me with “sweetie,” no problem.

The waitress at my favorite lunch counter often says, “Hi, love. What are we going to have today?”

I smile and give her my order. I can’t understand why so many older women make a kerfuffle about nothing. You can call me “honey” anytime. — Bonnie in Plattsburgh, N.Y. Dear Bonnie: Your laid-back attitude is refreshing — but I assure you, it isn’t just women making kerfuffles.
