Supervisors seek grant for KCAB

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County is pursuing grant funding on behalf of Keep Corinth-Alcorn Beautiful to support another household hazardous waste disposal event later this year.

The Board of Supervisors this week approved submission of the grant application seeking $25,000 from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.

“The community has now started to recognize this as an

annual event and save up their hazardous household items for this day for collection,” said Joanie Vaughn, representing KCAB. The event is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 23.

BES transforms into ‘Seussville’

BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

There was an undercurrent of excitement in the air that provided a holiday-like feeling at Seussville Friday — a.k.a. Biggersville Elementary School.

All week students at BES had activities planned in honor of the recent National Read Across America Day, which was also the birthday of the legendary children’s author know as “Dr. Seuss.”

While the day was celebrated nationally on March 2, the school wanted to extend it and honor the occasion by using the

week before spring break to celebrate literacy.

The week culminated in “Fantastic Friday” where students could dress up as their favorite book characters of any book, not just Dr. Seuss. Coordinators of the event scheduled a “character parade,” which was originally supposed to be held on the football field, but was held in the gym instead, due to rain the night before.

Students came out of the school and into the afternoon sunshine before the parade.

Laughter and excited chatter from students, both costumed

and not, bubbled up into the air like tiny “whos.”

As the students paraded into the gym, costumed teachers danced and kept up the spirit of a true celebration. There was reading, dancing, cheering and music.

“I’m sad it’s going to be over,” said BES and BHS Librarian and event coordinator Sonja McRight. She later added, “We have just had a really good week.”

The parade and the program in the gym were the pinnacle Please see SEUSSVILLE | 2A

New unemployment rates remain low

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Statewide unemployment numbers were released this week, and the new rates are some of the lowest reported in more than 13 years.

Although Alcorn County rates rose from December numbers, Mississippi’s unemployment rate remained steady.

For January Alcorn County’s non-seasonally adjusted rate was reported at 5.5 percent up from 5.1 percent in December. The county ranked 13th among the 82 counties, tying

with Tippah. Rates across the state ranged from 4.2 percent in Rankin County to 21.2 percent in Issaquena. Prentiss ranked 16th with 5.7 percent and Tishomingo ranked 26th with 6.1 percent.

First-time claims for unemployment insurance benefits in Alcorn County numbered 90 in January, compared to 60 a year earlier. Continued claims numbered 465, compared to 459 a year ago.

The county had 880 counted as unemployed for the month.

Those categorized as employed totaled 16,120.

Mississippi’s jobless rate was 6.1 percent and seasonally adjusted at 5.5 percent.

According to the Mississippi Department of Labor, the unemployment rate is Mississippi’s lowest since December 2003.

The labor force, which is made up of everyone who has a job or is looking for a job, increased in January by 7,700 to 1,291,200. Over the year since January 2016, the Labor Force grew by 5,300.

The number of people working in Mississippi rose in January by 7,300 to 1,219,700.

For the year since January 2016, employment in our state posted an increase of 12,600.

The number of unemployed Mississippians edged up in January by 400 to 71,500.

However, over the year since January 2016, the number of Mississippians without jobs fell by 7,300.

A separate sampling of employers indicated that the number of non-farm jobs rose in January by 500 to 1,145,500. Over the year since January 2016, the number of non-farm jobs was unchanged.

The school began with “Mixed-Up Monday” where students were read Fox in Socks and everyone was encouraged to wear crazy, mismatched socks, then came “Top-Hat Tuesday” where the book of the day was The Cat in the Hat and everyone could wear their favorite hats and they even made their own Dr. Seuss hats.

“Wacky Wednesday” came along with the book Wacky Wednesday being the theme for the day where the students could wear “wacky” clothes and “wacky” hair. “Theodore Thursday” had activities lined up such as “Get to know Dr. Seuss — Be an author and make your own book” and the children read The Sleep book and were encouraged to wear their favorite pajamas.

City elections set in Tishomingo County

Today in History

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Today is Sunday, March 12, the 71st day of 2017. There are 294 days left in the year.

The field is set for the upcoming Tishomingo County municipal election.

Most North Mississippi municipalities have elections in 2017 with the exception of Corinth.

Tishomingo County’s city elections are set for June 6.

Two challengers will face incumbent Mayor John Castleberry in Iuka.

Throwing their hat in the ring for the post include

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 12, 1947, President Harry S. Truman announced what became known as the “Truman Doctrine” to help Greece and Turkey resist Communism.

On this date: In 1857, the original version of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera “Simon Boccanegra” was poorly received at its premiere in Venice, Italy. (Verdi offered a revised version in 1881.)

In 1912, the Girl Scouts of the USA had its beginnings as Juliette Gordon Low of Savannah, Georgia, founded the first American troop of the Girl Guides.

In 1925, Chinese revolutionary leader Sun Yatsen died.

In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered the first of his 30 radio addresses that came to be known as “fireside chats,” telling Americans what was being done to deal with the nation’s economic crisis.

In 1938, the Anschluss merging Austria with Nazi Germany took place as German forces crossed the border between the two countries.

In 1940, Finland and the Soviet Union concluded an armistice during World War II. (Fighting between the two countries flared again the following year.)

In 1951, “Dennis the Menace,” created by cartoonist Hank Ketcham, made its syndicated debut in 16 newspapers.

In 1967, Gen. Suharto became acting president of Indonesia, replacing President Sukarno.

Bill Gurley and Diana Hester Turner.

Eight citizens will compete against each other in the race for Iuka’s five aldermen seats. Candidates include Martha Biggs, Duane Broadway, Kenny Carson, James Grisham, Joyce Park, Joel Robertson, Johnny Southward and Nancy South Stripling.

The Iuka police chief position is unopposed with long time chief Randy Stringer being the lone candidate.

son is unopposed and the town’s aldermen are also unopposed with Gary Harlan, Barbara Ann Oaks, Anne Taylor, Anthony Stone and Hal Southward.

In Paden, the town’s government will be Mayor Pam Oswalt and aldermen Jean Luttrell, Tony Faulkner, Carl Whitehead, Kristy Deaton and Jim Murphy.

Belmont and Golden will also see election action.

Mason Smith and Bud-

dy Wiltshire will compete for the Belmont mayor post, while the aldermen race in the county’s southeast town will include Sonya Harris, Mike Harris, Steve Ratliff, Brandon Pharr, Craig Bell, Scott Lucas and Ken Dulaney.

In Golden, Davy Ginn and Larry Bolton have qualified for mayor, while Stan Malone, Sherry Shook, Rebecca Ozbirn, Sandra Collumns and Linda Epps have qualified for aldermen.

Sponsors, teams sought for golf tournament

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Honoring the life and legacy of flight paramedic Tom Timms, the Air-Evac Life Team and Magnolia Regional Health Center EMS employees are organizing yet another event in his memory.

Set for 9 a.m. Friday, May 26, at Shiloh Ridge Golf Course, the 4th Annual Tom Timms Memorial Golf Tournament has been planned to coincide with National EMS (Emergency Medical Services) Week — a week which honors local EMS and lets them know the community is proud of the important work they do.

“We want to come together to celebrate Tom’s life and raise money for the community and profession that Tom cared so much for,” said Flight Nurse RN Ricki Barnett as he remembered his late friend and co-worker. “We have changed the format this year to a three-person scramble.

So, it will be a little bit different, but still have the same feel.”

The deadline for participants to register for

pickwicktreeservice@yahoo.com

PICKWICK TREE SERVICE

Timms the event is Friday, May 19 with a cost of $300 per team with mulligans included.

All players will be entered for door prizes.

Cash awards will be presented to the winners of the Longest Drive Contest, Closest to the Pin on all par 3 holes and several other exciting contests.

“A total of $5,000 in cash prizes was given out last year,” said Barnett who looks forward to the scramble. “We recommend those interested register as soon as possible before the available team entries fill up.”

Sponsorship opportunities are also available for the event. Businesses

and/or organizations can show support by sponsoring a hole on the golf course for $200 and have their company logo sign displayed at the hole. They can also choose to sponsor a team for $400 which includes the cost of entry for one team in the scramble and a company logo sign for one hole.

The event is the main fundraiser for The Tom Timms Memorial Fund which honors the life, values and character of Tom Timms.

Thanks to the help of sponsors, participants and volunteers the fund has donated over 20 AEDs to the community, lifesaving devices to the Corinth Police Department, Alcorn County Sheriff’s Office and Highway Patrol officers. It has also awarded over $10,000 in scholarships over the past three years.

“We are excited about this year and look forward to donating more to the community that Tom cared so much about,” said Barnett.

Applications for scholarship awards must be received by Friday,

March 31. Interested high school seniors pursuing an education in EMS or any medical field should go to the CREATE Foundation website and follow instructions to apply for the scholarship. This year, two scholarships will be awarded in the amount of $1,250 each.

A selfless individual with a big heart for others, Timms began his EMS career as a volunteer firefighter with Farmington F.D. in 2003 before becoming a Paramedic with MRHC where he served his community for nine years. In addition to MRHC he also worked for North Mississippi Medical Center, EMS in Iuka and at the time of his death was employed as a Flight Paramedic with Air-Evac Lifeteam (AE-58) of Corinth.

He enjoyed being a member of the Pig-Medic cooking team who will provide lunch at the golf tournament.

“Tom dedicated most of his time to helping others and has been dearly missed,” said Paramedic Doug Lomenick, who was one of Timm’s closest friends. “He was a great

“Last year we had 30 teams take part in the tournament and decided to move it up a day due to the rain, but ended up with a beautiful day to play golf,” said Barnett who is hoping for an even bigger turnout this year.

“We appreciate all the support the community has given us and look forward to another successful tournament.”

“We also want to say thank you to all our sponsors for making this event a possibility,” he added.

We speak of last weekend’s USSSA baseball tournament at the expanded recreational facility on four fields in the new complex on Droke Road Friday through Sunday. Jesse Bynum Field was also utilized.

Gate counts topped 1,700 spectators as 27 teams took their game to the new fields.

The area stayed packed all weekend, including through Sunday’s rainfall.

“You have to build your resumé up, and this is a step in that right direction since we plan to seek higher levels of play,” CorinthAlcorn Parks & Recreation Director Ray Holloway told the Daily Corinthian.

There is a balancing act between local recreation and the bigger events which drive economic benefits for local businesses and the city.

Holloway said the park’s focus is on recreation leagues and the tournaments are an added bonus.

When the expansion was planned, the addition of fields was touted as an economic benefit to the community. This added bonus was a selling point to spend the some $5 million when the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors first pitched the idea.

Weekend tournaments are a good way to fill up motel rooms and keep restaurants busy.

“Sports will help fill our hotels during the weekend when our occupancy rates are low,” Tourism Director Christy Burns told the Daily Corinthian. “We are excited about working with Ray to bring in more tournaments to Corinth in the near future.”

Tourism working with the park is a winwin situation.

Several notable tournaments are on the calendar for the spring and summer. Holloway expects more than 50 teams for the May 12-14 USSSA baseball AA qualifier for ages 7 to 14, which will be co-hosted with Booneville. It is followed the next weekend by a USSSA baseball world series qualifier.

On deck this summer includes a couple of state championships — the Babe Ruth baseball ages 13/14 on July 6-9 and the USA/ USFA fast pitch B and C on June 30-July 2.

Coming up to bat includes the USFA National Invitational Tournament June 23-25 and the MRPA softball North Mississippi Spring Classic on April 29-30.

The park made a pitch on the Mississippi Soccer Association north district soccer tournament for 2017 and struck out, but Holloway said it has unofficially been awarded to Corinth for 2018. That tournament will bring in about 60 teams and requires 11 fields.

Some of the baseball outfields will be set up for soccer to provide enough fields.

Kudos to Holloway and his staff.

We hope our local park continues in its allstar efforts.

Packed weekend tournaments lead to economic success.

Is a Korean missile crisis ahead?

To back up Defense Secretary “Mad Dog” Mattis’ warning last month, that the U.S. “remains steadfast in its commitment” to its allies, President Donald Trump is sending B-1 and B-52 bombers to Korea.

Some 300,000 South Korean and 15,000 U.S. troops have begun their annual Foal Eagle joint war exercises that run through April.

“The two sides are like two accelerating trains coming toward each other with neither side willing to give way,” says Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, “Are (they) really ready for a head-on collision?”

So it would seem.

It is Kim Jong Un, 33-year-old grandson of that Stalinist state’s founding father, who launched the first Korean War, who brought on this confrontation.

In February, Kim’s halfbrother was assassinated in Malaysia in a VX nerve agent attack and five of Kim’s security officials were executed with antiaircraft guns. Monday, Kim launched four missiles toward U.S. bases, with three landing in the Sea of Japan.

U.S. response: Begin immediate deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missile shield in Korea.

This set off alarms in China. For while THAAD cannot shoot down Scuds on the DMZ, its radar can detect missile launches inside China, thereby, says Beijing, imperiling her deterrent.

For accepting THAAD, China has imposed sanctions on Seoul, and promised the Patrick U.S. a comBuchanan m e n s u r a t e strategic reColumnist sponse.

Minister Wang’s proposal for resolving the crisis: The U.S. and Seoul cancel the exercises and North Korea suspends the nuclear and missile tests.

How did we reach this crisis point?

In his 2002 “axis of evil” address, George W. Bush declared, “The United States ... will not permit the world’s most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world’s most destructive weapons.”

He then launched a war on Iraq, which had no such weapons. But North Korea, hearing Bush’s threat, built and tested five atom bombs and scores of missiles, a few of intercontinental range.

Pyongyang has tested new presidents before.

In April 1969, North Korea shot down a U.S. EC-121 over the Sea of Japan, killing its entire crew. President Nixon, a war in Vietnam on his hands, let it pass, which he regretted ever after.

But this crisis raises larger questions about U.S. foreign policy.

Why, a quarter of a century after the Cold War, do we still have 28,000 troops in Korea? Not only does South Korea have twice the popu-

lation of the North, but an economy 40 times as large, and access to U.S. weapons far superior to any in the North.

Why should Americans on the DMZ be among the first to die in a second Korean War? Should the North attack the South, could we not honor our treaty obligations with air and naval power offshore?

Gen. James Mattis’ warning last month was unambiguous: “Any attack on the United States or our allies will be defeated and any use of nuclear weapons would be met with a response that would be effective and overwhelming.”

JFK’s phrase in the Cuban crisis, “full retaliatory response,” comes to mind.

Hence the next move is up to Kim. New tests by North Korea of missiles or atom bombs for an ICBM could bring U.S. strikes on its nuclear facilities and missile sites, igniting an attack on the South.

For China, this crisis, whether it leads to war, a U.S. buildup in the South, or a U.S. withdrawal from Korea, is problematic.

Beijing cannot sit by and let her North Korean ally be bombed, nor can it allow U.S. and South Korean forces to defeat the North, bring down the regime, and unite the peninsula, with U.S. and South Korean soldiers sitting on the Yalu, as they did in 1950 before Mao ordered his Chinese army into Korea.

However, should U.S. forces withdraw from the South, Seoul might build her own nuclear arsenal, followed by Japan. For Tokyo could not live with two Koreas possessing nukes, while she had none.

This could leave China contained by nuclear neighbors: to the north, Russia, to the south, India, to the east, South Korea and Japan. And America offshore.

What this crisis reveals is that China has as great an interest in restraining North Korea as do we.

While the United States cannot back down, it is difficult to reconcile a second Korean war with our America first policy. Which is why some of us have argued for decades that the United States should moves its forces out of South Korea and off the Asian continent.

Events in Asia -- Chinese claims to reefs and rocks in the South and East China Seas and North Korea’s menacing her neighbors -- are pushing us toward a version of the Nixon Doctrine declared in Guam in 1969 that is consistent with America first: While we will provide the arms for friends and allies to fight in their own defense in any future wars, henceforth, they will provide the troops.

Preserving life, a little longer

Prayer for today My Father, I would remember that my life may decline from the neglect of small things; for as thou dost nourish the wheat from flakes of snow, and supply the springs from drops of rain, so thou wilt strengthen my soul from every little blessing. I pray that I may not forget to watch my habits, and keep track of the hours that culture and sustain my life.

Amen.

A verse to share The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

BY DR. GLENN MOLLETTE Columnist

I’ve assured my wife that I will do everything to save and preserve her life should she ever be in a life and death scenario. Should she ever be in a hospital hooked up to wires and on the verge of death, doctors and nurses do not have permission to start pulling plugs and rushing hospice into the room. She has assured me the same support. We realize that death will come to both of us and neither of us wants to linger in a vegetative state. Of course we don’t know what the scenario will be and no one does. We do believe we deserve every chance to pull through if it’s possible.

In 2002, a doctor said this concerning the illness of my first wife, “She has fought a hard battle we can let her go on. Or, we can try to do everything we can to extend her life.” I opted for the latter. They actually extended her life at least a couple of weeks and she had numerous good visits with her family and two adoring sons. I know we tried every-

thing available to us to extend and save her life. Yet, I will never be free from the disappointment and pain that we could not cure her illness and save her.

My wife’s grandfather was about to be released from the hospital and seemed to be feeling great. They decided to keep him and soon it seemed they pulled hospice in and he was dead in a couple of days. Please don’t hear me speaking against hospice. I know they do a wonderful job in many scenarios. Frequently, they appear to be called in too prematurely.

It seems to me that doctors, hospital staff and nursing home staff get tired of some people and help them exit life. I realize you may yell that I’m wrong but I’m entitled to my opinion.

Medical insurance doesn’t pay forever nor does it cover any and every kind of treatment and option to extend life. When the medical insurance is shaking its head “no” to further treatments then what happens? Is this when life really ends?

I have eulogized over 400

funerals. I’ve made thousands of hospital and nursing home visits. So many times I have witnessed exhausted families and tired, overworked and underpaid intensive care staff caring for a patient who required painstaking treatment and attention. It was at these moments that it seemed I would hear “We have tried and done all we can do.” Next, would come the onslaught of morphine shots that were supposedly for pain but in reality they were the death nail to the helpless person who was being exited from life.

I don’t think you or any of us want to be held in this world helplessly tied to a ventilator and multiple devices. On the other hand I don’t think any of us would mind being plugged up a while if in a couple of weeks we might rouse up and be able to spend a few more months or weeks with our family, eating ice cream or even watching wheel of fortune.

This is all difficult stuff and I have dear family and friends very involved in the medical profession. I’m not

pointing fingers at you. I’m pointing fingers at all of us.

Fight for your loved ones and friends. Value, sustain and protect life as long as you can.

An old friend of mine died when she was about ninety years old. She lived alone.

She didn’t have much but she was faithful in church and stayed busy. She was so fortunate in that she was never in the hospital for any length of time. Nobody had talked to her in a couple of days and a friend decided she had better go see about her. She was dead. She was sitting in her chair, the television was playing and she was surrounded with books and newspapers.

She had passed on in the surroundings that were enjoyable and familiar to her.

I hope we can all be so fortunate.

Selmer, Tenn.

Unemployment rate goes to 8.6 percent SELMER, Tenn. — The unemployment rate in McNairy County continues to rise with the latest monthly figures showing a jump from January.

Tennessee’s Department of Labor and Workforce Development released numbers this week that show an increase of more than one percent from last month.

McNairy’s jobless rate in January is 8.6 percent, a jump of 1.1 percent over Decem-

ber’s rate of 7.5 percent. The unemployment rate for the same month last year was 7.4 percent.

The county had a labor force of 9,050 in January and 8,270 had jobs during the month.

This left 780 potential workers without a job in the first month of 2017.

All 95 counties in the state registered jumps in unemployment during January as Christmas workers lost their jobs.

McNairy County can take solace in the fact they are no longer listed in the Top 10 in the state for highest unemployment rate. Lake County has the highest jobless rate in the state at 11.3 percent.

Williamson County has the lowest unemployment rate in the state at 3.9 percent.

Deaths

LIBRARY CONTINUED FROM 1A

Aaron Coleman

A Celebration of Life service for Aaron B. (Abie) Coleman, 80, will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 18, at Shiloh Cumberland Presbyterian Church, where he was an active member. The Rev. LaMar Chamblee, Mr. Coleman’s pastor, will officiate the service.

Mr. Coleman died Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017, at Tippah Hospital in Ripley, after an extended illness. No more illness, no more pain and no more sorrow, peace is his for now and forever. Amen.

He was born July 7, 1936, to Aaron Bilbo Coleman and Mary Ferol Hughes Coleman. He attended Kossuth School, where he played football and was a member of the famous Aggie basketball team.

He attended Mississippi College in Clinton, where he received a degree in Chemical Engineering. He was employed by some of the top chemical companies in the U.S.A., and his work took him throughout the nation and abroad.

He was a people person. He never met a stranger and the stories he could tell about his work and travel were hilarious.

His favorite famous person was General George Patton. He probably watched that movie 20 times. If ever that was a fan of the Dallas Cowboys football team, it was Aaron. He was their number one fan. He was an avid golfer, and yes, he did have a hole-in-one. He loved to tell of the thrill he received from it.

The love in his heart was first for his church, his wife, his family and his friends.

Last but certainly not least, was his love for his loyal dogs, Coco and Patches, who watched over him during his illness.

Survivors are his wife, Jeannette K. Coleman; sons, Dr. Charles Coleman of New Orleans, La., and Jim (Dr. Kristin) Coleman of The Woodlands, Texas; daughter, Sally Coleman Elder (Bobby) of Clinton; grandchildren, Luke Elder of New Orleans, La., Millie Elder Craven (Jack) of Belgium, John Aaron Richards of Clinton, Kaitilun Coleman of New York, N.Y., Andrew Coleman of Los Angeles, Calif., and Clair Coleman of The Woodlands, Texas; step-grandchildren, Benjamin Smith of Corinth, and Rain Questa of San Diego, Calif.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Memorial contributions may be made to Shiloh Cumberland Presbyterian Church, the Cancer society, any children’s hospital or the donor’s favorite charity.

Margaret Bradley

Margaret Bradley, 83, died Saturday, March 11, 2017, at Mississippi Care Center in Corinth.

McPeters Inc. Funeral Directors will have the arrangements.

The miniature library looks like a very large birdhouse, but instead of feeding birds, it will have books to feed imaginations and enrich the minds of children in the Farmington area, where the library will be posted.

The tiny library will be part of a fast-growing non-profit organization that has created a database of free libraries where the idea is “take a book, leave a book.” People can borrow or donate a book at any time of day.

“Through Little Free Libraries, millions of books are exchanged each year, profoundly increasing access to books for readers of all ages and backgrounds,” according to the organization’s website at https://littlefreelibrary.org.

Troop leader Nikki Smith said her daughter, Ciara Smith, had seen one of the Little Free Libraries while they are on vacation and she loved the idea. The whole troop came together on the plan.

The library meets the needs of a community service project the troop needed to fulfill. Smith, who is the leader of the troop along with Ginger Radtke, explained that the girls were junior Girl Scouts (fourth and fifth graders) earning their Bronze Awards. The highest is the Gold Award and the Bronze is their first step toward their ultimate goal. She

said the project had to be permanent, sustainable and would serve the community.

There is another Little Free Library in Corinth, but the books were more oriented toward adult reading material and the troop wanted a library that was specifically for children, she said.

“This one will be kid-oriented,” said Smith.

The troop leaders said, to start stocking the library, each troop member will either donate a copy of their own favorite children’s book or purchase a copy of their favorite and donate it.

The troop chose Farmington Town Hall as the location for their library.

“We have been having our troop meetings there and they have been so good to us,” said Smith. She also pointed out that it was further out from Corinth and the troop felt it would give better access to books to children in that area who might find it more convenient than traveling to Corinth.

The girls in the junior Girl Scout troop drew up their request in a very official and organized manner when they put it before the Farmington Board of Aldermen at the last board meeting. The board approved the troop’s request.

Troop member Chelsey Thrasher said the troop hopes for an April 1 ribbon cutting.

Pence calls for support Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Vice President Mike Pence appealed for total GOP congressional support for a White House-backed health overhaul during a brief visit Saturday to Kentucky, where the Republican governor and junior senator are among the plan’s skeptics.

“This is going to be a battle in Washington, D.C. And for us to seize this opportunity to repeal and replace Obamacare once and for all, we need every Republican in Congress, and we’re counting on Kentucky,” Pence said at an energy company where business leaders had gathered.

He said President Donald Trump would lean on House Republicans — including two Kentucky lawmakers in the audience, Reps. Andy Barr and Brett Guthrie — to vote to replace former President Barack Obama’s law.

Pence’s trip was part of an effort to reassure conservatives who have raised objections to the House plan. In a sign of the high stakes, Pence’s motorcade passed a long line of demonstrators who chanted, “Save our care.”

SCHOOLS CONTINUED FROM 1A

1502, restoring $2.24 billion to spend using the current Mississippi Adequate Education Program. The same amount was given to public school funding this year, and still some $193 million short of full funding.

Sen. Rita Potts Parks (RAlcorn, Tishomingo, Tippah) said something had to be done in case a new formula isn’t put into place this year.

“Bottom line is we do not want to risk not having it in the budget in the event we don’t pass a new formula,” she said. “People would have gone crazy if there had not been money in that budget.”

According to local lawmaker Rep. Nick Bain (D-

We Want Call now to take Advantage of our Best Offer ever!

Alcorn), the top goal this session has always been to replace the 20-year-old formula with a new plan.

“Our schools deserve more funding,” he said.

“But we’ve been kept in the dark about what exactly is happening with the rewrites.”

The current formula calls for a certain amount of money each year, based on how much average school districts spend. Lawmakers have only met the target twice in 20 years. The bill now also includes $20 million to give promised bonuses to teachers in schools rated A or B, or schools that improve their ratings.

After the Senate committee acted last week, Republican Speaker of the House Philip Gunn said the formula may not be rewritten

662-287-6111

13 Weeks for only $24.95

before the regular session ends.

“It could be before we go home in three weeks and, if not, it would be, hopefully, shortly thereafter,” Gunn said.

Lawmakers embraced most of a proposal by nonprofit consulting group EdBuild. But they rejected a call to increase local contributions, which could force about 30 property-rich districts to raise taxes or cut spending.

Gunn said he still hopes to start phasing in a new formula during 2017-18.

The lack of a spending plan for 2017-2018 pressured lawmakers to act, because school districts want to know how much money to expect while planning for next year. Teachers’ contracts are typically signed in April.

Divorce debate The Senate revived a proposal last week to make divorce less complicated for victims of domestic abuse.

Senators added divorce provisions to HB 1356, a measure originally dealing with protective orders in criminal sexual assault cases. One ground for divorce under current law is habitual cruel and inhuman treatment. Senators removed “habitual.”

A House committee chairman had killed a Senate bill dealing with domestic abuse and divorce.

The House added to SB 2680 “abusive physical contact” as a ground for a divorce, as well as threats, stalking and financial abuse.

Both bills now say testimony of one credible witness would be allowed, and that could be the abuse victim.

The two chambers must agree on a single bill before anything could go to the governor.

The Senate advanced a possible school voucher bill last week that would let students with dyslexia receive public money to attend private or parochial schools that offer specialized services.

The bill, which would give each student about $5,000, would add grades 7 through 12 to an existing program for grades 1 through 6, and students could take the money to border areas of neighboring states.

Opponents believe the proposal could open the door to widespread vouchers.

“Senators were told during debate that this bill is not a voucher bill.

That, of course, is false,” said The Parent’s Cam-

paign’s Nancy Loome.

“Any bill that sends public, taxpayer funds to pay tuition at a private school is a voucher. That is precisely what this bill does.”

The Senate and House must agree on a final version before the bill could go to the governor.

Flag debate The House voted 57-56 this week to withhold proposed tax exemptions to public universities that refuse to fly the Mississippi state flag.

The bill was held for more debate, but House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Republican Jeff Smith said he will kill the bill by not bringing it up.

SB 2509 would provide tax exemptions for Mississippi State University and the University of Southern Mississippi, but it could be expanded to add other schools.

Sanctuary cities A bill to ban immigration sanctuary policies advanced last week in the House.

SB 2710 states cities, state agencies and public colleges can’t prevent employees from asking someone’s immigration status.

These public agencies also can’t give legal status to people who entered the country without permission, such as by issuing an ID card.

The bill now goes to the Senate for more work.

Roads and bridges House members amended SB 2939 last week to include a new proposal that addresses the state’s aging roads and bridges.

Representatives, including Bain and Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo), voted for a bill to borrow $50 million in bonds to pay for bridges, with half the money going to counties and half to cities.

The bill would earmark tens of millions of dollars for roads and bridges from taxes that companies, like Amazon, who voluntarily collect for internet sales. It also would put more money into transportation if the economy perks up and the state budget again grows at least two percent a year.

The budget fell short of that mark this year and last.

The bill returns to the Senate next week where Parks said she believes the amended changes will die.

Across the Nation Associated Press

Sheriff: Drunk man steals Keys forklift MARATHON, Fla. — Florida Keys authorities say a drunken man from Rhode Island stole a forklift and crashed into a gate, telling deputies he lost his car keys and needed something to drive.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office says in a news release that 44-year-old Edward Quinton of Greenwich, Rhode Island, told deputies he was in the Keys helping friends move.

Quinton was quoted as saying that after he lost his keys Thursday night, he needed a vehicle and took the forklift from a Marathon marina because he knew how to drive one. Quinton also told deputies he thought he could fix the damaged gate.

Breath tests showed Quinton’s blood-alcohol level was twice Florida’s legal limit. He faces drunk-driving, criminal mischief, burglary and grand theft charges.

Robust jobs report points to resilience WASHINGTON — U.S. employers added a robust 235,000 jobs in February and raised pay at a brisk pace — signs that a resilient economy has given many companies the confidence to hire in anticipation of solid growth ahead.

With the unemployment rate dipping to a low 4.7 percent from 4.8 percent, the job market appears to be fundamentally healthy or nearly so.

Friday’s employment report from the government showed that more people began looking for jobs last month, an encouraging sign that they’ve grown confident about their prospects.

Hiring was strong enough to absorb those new job seekers as well as some of the previ-

MLM

ously unemployed.

The picture of an economy on solid footing nearly eight years after the Great Recession ended has made it all but certain that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next week and signal the likelihood of additional rate hikes ahead.

February’s jobs report was the first to cover a full month under President Donald Trump.

During the presidential campaign, Trump had cast doubt on the validity of the government’s jobs data, calling the unemployment rate a “hoax.”

But just minutes after the report was released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time, Trump retweeted a news report touting the job growth.

AGs step up legal fight on travel ban SEATTLE — In stepping up legal challenges to President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban, Democratic attorneys general are trying to use the court system to thwart the executive branch in the same way their GOP counterparts did under President Barack Obama.

Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson said Thursday he was asking a federal judge to find that his order last month halting the old travel ban applies to the new one, too.

Ferguson’s action came a day after Hawaii launched its own lawsuit. Washington, Minnesota, Oregon, New York and Massachusetts planned to file a new complaint challenging the revised travel ban Monday. Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh announced in a statement Friday that Maryland plans to join the lawsuit filed by Washington state.

“My message to President Trump is: Not so

Across the State

fast,” Ferguson said.

Ferguson and his fellow Democratic attorneys general are now doing what Republicans did when Obama was in office — filing lawsuits to block policies.

Republican attorneys general took Obama to court over a variety of issues, most notably his health care legislation.

Attorneys general are the chief lawyers for state governments and can sue more broadly on behalf of their states. Most are elected and can act independently of their legislatures or governors, although Ferguson, for example, has the support of Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, also a Democrat.

Trump’s revised ban bars new visas for people from six predominantly Muslim countries: Somalia, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Libya and Yemen. It also temporarily shuts down the U.S. refugee program.

Demolition makes way for aquarium GULFPORT — Demolition work has begun to make way for the new Gulfport aquarium.

WLOX-TV reports the former home of Big Mike’s Speakeasy was demolished to make way for the aquarium.

An old restaurant, a nearby church and Masonic building will also be demolished to make way for the new construction.

The aquarium project will cover property from 23rd Avenue to the old Gulfport library location.

The demolition comes after the Gulfport City Council on Tuesday voted to unanimously to approve the $93 million budget for the aquarium project.

Mayor Billy Hewes called it a “monumental day.”

Man gets life in murder-for-hire case WIGGINS — A Biloxi man has been sentenced to life in prison without parole in a murder-for-hire case.

Jody Parks pleaded guilty to capital murder Friday in the January 2015 beating and stabbing death of Stone County businessman Timothy “Timmy” Garrison.

Parks, 23, has apologized for his part in the slaying, according to The Sun Herald.

Investigators say he was recruited to carry out the killing. Parks testified he never received the money he was promised for killing Garrison, WLOX-TV reported.

Garrison’s wife, Evelyn, and Parks’ cousin, Emmett Entrekin, are also charged with capital murder in the case. They remain jailed while awaiting trial in Stone County Circuit Court.

Evelyn Garrison has said her husband physi-

Self-driving cars may be on roads in 2017 LOS ANGELES — Cars with no steering wheel, no pedals and nobody at all inside could be driving themselves on California roads by the end of the year, under proposed state rules that would give a powerful boost to the fast-developing technology.

For the past several years, tech companies and automakers have been testing selfdriving car prototypes in neighborhoods and on freeways. But regulators insisted those vehicles have steering wheels, pedals and human backup drivers who could take over in an emergency.

On Friday, the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles proposed regulations that would open the way for truly driverless cars.

cally abused her, but Timmy Garrison’s relatives dispute that. She called authorities to report her husband had been killed.

Capital murder is a killing committed during the commission of another felony, which in this case was robbery.

Authorities at first thought Timmy Garrison had been shot because of his severe injuries, but later learned he had been bludgeoned with a baseball bat and stabbed.

Saturday school set to prepare for tests GREENWOOD — Leflore County schools are holding optional Saturday sessions to help students prepare for statewide testing.

The school district is in conservatorship, and officials are trying to improve the schools’ academic performance.

The Greenwood Commonwealth reports the Saturday sessions will last about three hours, and federal money will cover the costs.

Ilean Richards, the district’s conservator, said the sessions were requested by the principals of Claudine Brown, Amanda Elzy and Leflore County elementary schools and Amanda Elzy and Leflore County junior high schools.

Woman facing deportation freed JACKSON — An Argentine citizen who grew up in Mississippi and was detained after speaking out about President Donald Trump’s policies was released Friday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Daniela Vargas’ release from detention in Jena, Louisiana, doesn’t end the 22-year-old’s legal efforts to avoid deportation, her attorneys said.

“This does not in any way end the case,” said

Joshua Stehlik, a supervising attorney for the National Immigration Law Center. “We will still be pursuing the legal claims to challenge the order of removal.”

ICE spokesman Thomas Byrd confirmed Vargas was released but said he didn’t have any additional information.

Vargas’ lawyers said her order of supervision requires her to check in with an ICE office in Mississippi next month. It wasn’t immediately clear if there are other requirements, they said.

Her attorneys had petitioned ICE to release her about a week ago.

“This is an ICE decision to release her. This is not court-ordered,” Stehlik said.

Also on Friday, a federal district court judge transferred her emergency request to delay her removal to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, her lawyers said.

Parents indicted for neglect in fire deaths KOSCIUSKO — A Mississippi sheriff says a mother and father have been indicted in the fire deaths of three children.

Attala County Sheriff Tim Nail says Friday that 30-year-old Rachel Keith and 35-year-old John Leach each were indicted on three counts of felony child neglect.

Nail says three boys, ages 4 to 11, died in a fire that started Dec. 10 when they were home alone.

He says Keith and Leach were arrested Friday and are being held in the jail in neighboring Leake County, where Attala County usually sends people awaiting court appearances.

The couple is set for arraignment Monday before a circuit judge, and Nail says they are not yet represented by attorneys who could comment on their behalf.

Businessman focuses on addiction recovery; says prayer at state Capitol

BY ZACK STEEN Tommy Wilson led Mississippi House members in a word of prayer last Thursday.

The Corinth native’s love of Christ touches everyone he impacts from the Crossroads to the state Capitol.

“I know Jesus is the answer, and my desire is to share that with everyone,” said Wilson, who from age 15 to 30 was a hardcore drug addict and dealer. In 1998, after attending several church services with his wife, Wilson found God. “I watched God turn my life around,” he said.

“Nineteen drug-free years later, I am a satisfied customer of what He has done in my life.”

Wilson operates Living Free Ministries in Corinth where he helps people who are struck in the same place he used to be.

“The non-residential faith-based addiction recovery program is dedicated to helping people with life controlling is-

Program encourages students to eat together at lunchtime DEAR ABBY: Schoolchildren, especially middle school or high school students who may not be socially adept, often eat lunch alone because they don’t know what to do when it comes to joining other kids at the lunch table.

My grandson, who is Abigail on the auVan Buren tism spectrum, is one of them.

Dear Abby C l a s s mates would be doing a great service if they said, “Hey, ‘Josh.’ Come sit with me.”

It’s a small way to help others, and they could serve as examples/mentors.

Kids with autism or some other challenges can learn socialization from helpful peers who are good in this arena.

It’s lonely to eat lunch by yourself.

Please encourage your readers to consider this. -- SOMEONE WHO CARES IN SAN DIEGO DEAR SOMEONE WHO CARES: I’m glad to do that.

The pain of social isolation can last far beyond the elementary and middle school years and color a person’s

expectations of rejection into adulthood.

Much of it could be avoided if parents took the time to explain to their children how important it is to treat others with kindness.

In recent years, attention is finally being paid to this.

A national organization, Beyond Differences, started a program called “No One Eats Alone” that teaches students how to make friends at lunchtime -- which can be the most painful part of the school day.

It’s their most popular program, and schools in all 50 states participate.

For more information about the work they do, visit www.beyonddifferences.org.

It might be helpful if an adult family member discussed your grandson’s isolation with a counselor at his school.

Some schools have started programs in which children who sit alone are gathered together at lunchtime with a teacher or a school therapist so they are not isolated.

This creates a safe space for autistic children.

Regardless of how these lunches are organized, the presence of a trained adult is paramount.

DEAR ABBY: My son and daughter-in-law recently had a baby girl.

My daughter-in-law and her family have extreme OCD and are afraid of germs. I wash my hands all the time, but still she seems to cringe when I or anyone in my family holds the baby.

I want a relationship with my granddaughter.

I have expressed my concern to my son, but I don’t want to cause an argument.

How can I approach this without causing friction? -GRANDMA S. IN NEW YORK DEAR GRANDMA S.: Your daughter-in-law is a brand-new mother.

Many new parents are nervous about their babies being exposed to germs.

A way to approach it would be to talk with your daughterin-law in a non-confrontational way and tell her you have seen her reaction when you hold your granddaughter.

Explain that you are careful about hand-washing, and ask if there is anything else she feels you should do. It might make her feel more in control and put her mind at ease.

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).

There’s no joy in working for external approval. Even if you were to get the approval, the validation would be too superficial to conjure up any real satisfaction. For deeply satisfying results, do it for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you’re not seeing the situation as a game, how will you play to win? Plan several moves in advance. A temporary move backward can lead to a giant leap forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Everyone has different tolerances. You regularly take on work that others can’t deal with, and there is also someone who would take the jobs you don’t want. All you have to do is ask.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

No one (including you) knows all of you, though many will want to know more today as the reserved mood you’re in casts a fog of mystery wherever you go.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If someone gets frustrated with

you over something unimportant, it’s either not about that at all or not unimportant. Either way, you’ll meet frustration with patience, kindness and listening and defuse the whole situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

What you are doing must enrich people’s lives, or you won’t care to do it. The creativity and high standard of quality you bring to each endeavor will be essential to your success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). For you, romance isn’t so much a feeling you have about another person as it is a way of life. Your affection attracts beauty, and your beauty attracts affection.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Anyone who is informing you by telling you how to feel is not informing you. This applies to matters of news, gossip, interpersonal communication, art, commerce and more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Whether your efforts are good enough to win, to be

popular, to please -- this is not the point. The point is in making these efforts consistently and wholeheartedly until you finish what you started.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will choose your best response to events from a range of possibilities. From a calm and centered place, you will have many more options than the person who is emotionally entwined in what’s going on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). True love shouldn’t be stressful. It should relax you -- make you healthier even.

Love is healing. Amorous feelings have a mysterious way of adjusting your chemistry to support your immune system.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Avoid hearing or giving excuses; explanations will be equally unlucky today. On the other hand, it will be extremely lucky to acknowledge a less-than-optimal reality and describe how you’re going to make it right.

10A • Daily Corinthian

Leathers resigns Tishomingo County head football coach Preston Leathers has resigned and has accepted the position of offensive coordinator at 6A Northwest Rankin High School.

Leathers just completed his third season in Iuka where he fielded teams that enjoyed early season success but couldn’t get over the hump in division play.

The Braves will experience fresh competition in Division 1-4A in the Fall as Shannon, Itawamba AHS and Pontotoc move to Division 2 while new division-mates Byhalia, New Albany, Senatobia and Ripley move in. Corinth will remain along with TCHS to complete the six-team field.

Tishomingo County is currently searching for their next head coach.

Warriors bounce back to top Ripley

BY KENT MOHUNDRO kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Inclement weather threatened a full slate of baseball and softball games Saturday but most teams were able to finish their contests before the inevitable.

HS Baseball Corinth 3 Ripley 1 The Warriors were able to put Friday night’s disappointing loss to Tishomingo County behind them as they rebounded Saturday to clip the visiting Ripley Tigers 3-1 on a complete game fivehitter from starting pitcher Jackson Lancaster.

On a cold and drizzly day at Warrior Field, Corinth scored a pair of runs in the first three innings and with the way Lancaster was delivering the goods on the mound that’s all

they would need.

Lancaster threw 88 pitches during the seven-inning contest with an astonoshing 69 being strikes.

Coach Rob Scarbrough and his squad hit the road immediately after the game to drive to Nashville where they will catch a flight to much warmer Florida for the Disney Invitational Tournament starting Monday.

Alcorn Central 14 Horn Lake 5 The Golden Bears were scheduled to play a pair of contests in DeSoto County Saturday but due to wet weather played only one against the 6A Eagles.

Golden Bear starter Jared Bronson pitched a complete game five-hitter while his offensive teammates did a

number on the Horn Lake pitching staff as they coasted to a 14-5 victory at the Horn lake High School Field.

Leading 4-1 entering the top of the fourth inning Central exploded for nine runs to blow the game wide open.

The Bears scored a majority of those runs off walks and hit batters mixed in with a few base hits.

Coach Jared Bronson’s team will return to the field Tuesday at the Thrasher Spring Break Tournament.

HS Softball Kossuth 6 Corinth 5 In the first meeting this season between the two county schools, the Lady Aggies were one run better as they rallied from a 5-4 third inning hole.

Kossuth scored single runs

in the third and fourth innings to pull out the 6-5 win.

Pine Grove 18 Ripley 1 (4 innings) Pine Grove connected on 10 hits and picked up eight free passes against the Lady Tigers as they won 18-1 in a four-inning game.

The Lady Panthers jumped on the host school early opening up a 10-0 lead before Ripley had time to respond. The Lady Tigers scored a run in the bottom of the third before Pine Grove responded with an eight-spot for the final advantage.

Feigl dazzles in another Ole Miss shutout Ole Miss Sports Information

OXFORD — One night after an Ole Miss starting pitcher tossed 8.0 scoreless innings, another Rebel followed suit Saturday afternoon. Redshirt-sophomore Brady Feigl struck out 10 in the longest outing of his career to help the baseball Rebels (10-5) shut out Furman 5-0 at Swayze Field.

Feigl (2-1) nearly matched the numbers of Ole Miss ace David Parkinson from Friday night, going 8.0 innings and allowing only three hits and one walk. The Chesterfield, Missouri, native retired 24 of the 28 batters he faced, while reaching double digits in strikeouts for the first time

in his career. For the second consecutive day, Will Stokes secured the shutout by keeping the Paladins (8-6) off the scoreboard in the final inning of play.

In his second career start at first base, redshirt-sophomore Michael Fitzsimmons homered for the first time this season. His tworun home run in the second started the Ole Miss scoring.

While opportunities were few and far between, the Rebels took advantage of them with five runs on three hits. Each of the first five hitters in the lineup scored a run.

Despite being held scoreless, Furman saw a solid outing from Grant Scheurmann.

The left-handed starter went the distance, allowing five runs (three earned) on three hits and two walks over the 8.0 innings of work. Ole Miss made contact off him all day long, only striking out once as a team.

The Rebels jumped on board early thanks to a tworun homer by Fitzsimmons in the bottom of the second.

One inning later, two more runs came across to give Ole Miss a 4-0 lead. Ryan Olenek and Tate Blackman started the scoring frame with a single and a hit by pitch, respectively. Colby Bortles nearly left the yard, but his fly ball was caught on the warning track in right-center field and

allowed Olenek to advance to third. With runners on the corners, the pair of Rebels pulled off a double steal to add another run. Blackman slid safely into second, and Olenek scooted home on the throw down. With Fitzsimmons still at the plate, a sharply hit ball went right through the third baseman’s legs to bring Blackman home and double the Rebels’ advantage.

With a comfortable lead, Feigl went into cruise control. The redshirt-sophomore made quick work of the first 10 hitters he faced before Landon Kay ripped a single Please see FEIGL | 11A

— De’Aaron Fox took charge and made plays during a critical stretch on the way to a career performance. An early-morning shootaround helped remedy Malik Monk’s recent scoring woes.

Those initiatives by Kentucky’s talented freshmen duo positioned the No. 8 Wildcats to claim another Southeastern Conference Tournament championship.

Fox scored a career-high 28 points, including nine straight down the stretch, and Malik Monk added 20 to lift Kentucky past Alabama 79-74 in the SEC Tourna-

ment semifinal on Saturday.

The Wildcats shot 52 percent from the floor and 69 percent from the line after missing numerous chances that left openings for the pesky Crimson Tide to stay close. But Kentucky converted chances when needed, hitting 13 of 17 free throws in the final six minutes with Fox making 5 of 7 in particular and 11 of 15 overall.

Fox also converted a pair of 3-point plays — the biggest of which gave Kentucky a 6762 lead with 3:07 remaining — en route to 19 points after halftime.

“I just kept getting the plays and they kept the ball

in my hands,” said Fox, who made 8 of 12 shots. “When I know the coach is trusting me and my teammates are trusting me to keep attacking, doing what you’re doing, all I’ve got to do is just make the play.”

After combining for just eight points the previous two games, Monk snapped out of his funk to hit 6 of 14 from the field. Those baskets included a pair of 3-pointers that turned a 17-7 first-half deficit into a 33-32 lead.

Monk later followed a Fox jumper with two free throws with 1:13 left.

“I knew I had to get up and execute for the team,” Monk

said of the early practice. “If I get shots before the game, I just have a good game or have a better flow.”

Bam Adebayo had 10 points and nine rebounds to send top-seeded Kentucky (28-5) to Sunday’s championship game against No. 3 seed Arkansas, which beat Vanderbilt 76-62 in the other semifinal. The Wildcats will face the Razorbacks for the second time in three seasons in pursuit of their third consecutive SEC title.

Hog-tied: Arkansas routs Vanderbilt in SEC semifinals The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Moses Kingsley had 12 points and 13 rebounds as the thirdseeded Arkansas Razorbacks beat Vanderbilt 76-62 on Saturday in the Southeastern Conference Tournament semifinals.

The Razorbacks (25-8) won their third straight to reach the championship for the seventh time. They will play eighth-ranked Kentucky, a 79-74 winner over Alabama

, for the second time in three years Sunday.

Arkansas simply smothered Vanderbilt, especially in the paint where the Razorbacks had a 46-16 scoring edge.

Jaylen Barford led Arkansas with 18 points. Dusty Hannahs added 16 and Daryl Macon 15.

Playing a third game in as many days took its toll on seventh-seeded Vanderbilt (19-15). The Commodores

saw a three-game winning streak end after reaching the semifinals for the first time since 2013.

Riley LaChance scored 12 points for Vanderbilt. Joe Toye added 12, and Jeff Roberson and Matthew FisherDavis each had 10.

These teams won on each other’s floor during the season with Vandy a blown 15-point lead away from sweeping Arkansas.

This time, the Razorbacks

led 35-31 at halftime and took control with a 21-4 run to start the second half.

Vandy coach Bryce Drew tried to rest his starters where he could in the first half with Luke Kornet and Roberson playing only 12 minutes after each played at least 38 minutes in Friday’s overtime win over No. 17 Florida in the quarterfinals. It just wasn’t enough as the Commodores Please see HOGS | 11A

FEIGL CONTINUED FROM 10A

to left in the fourth. The blemish didn’t affect Feigl though, as he retired 12 of the next 13 Paladins.

In the top of the eighth, consecutive groundball base hits gave Furman a little life for the first time in the contest. Nonetheless, Feigl shut the door with a strikeout before a groundout to third ended the inning.

Ole Miss added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth for the game’s final five-run difference. Golsan led off the inning with a single and advanced to second on a passed ball. Back-

to-back flyballs, the latter a sac fly by Blackman, brought Golsan around the bases to make it 5-0.

Stokes finished the job with a scoreless ninth to solidify another shutout.

With the series finale tomorrow at 1:30 p.m., the Rebels will look to claim their third weekend sweep of the season. Freshman Greer Holston will make his second career start, while the Paladins will counter with senior Matthew Quarles.

For those who can’t make the trip to Swayze Field, you can catch the action on SECN+ or the Ole Miss IMG Sports Network.

KENTUCKY CONTINUED FROM 10A

Kentucky 33-28. But the Crimson Tide couldn’t get the basket when needed to overcome the Wildcats, who came through in the clutch for their 10th straight win.

“Give Kentucky credit,” Alabama coach Avery Johnson said. “They made some big shots.”

Big picture Alabama: The Crimson Tide did everything they needed to do, outscoring Kentucky 46-24 in the paint, its bench 22-9 and shooting 53 percent after halftime. For a while the SEC’s top scoring defense (64.1 points) seemed headed toward keeping Kentucky in check before

sending the Wildcats to the foul line.

Kentucky: Another slow start dug another early hole before the Wildcats answered with 11 straight points for the lead. They overcame another deficit in the second with timely stops along with several 3-point plays.

Senior moments Kentucky continues to get solid production from seniors such as Derek Willis and Dominique Hawkins, who combined for 13 points. Willis made a couple a 3-pointers, and Hawkins added two key baskets.

“It’s nice to have him,” coach John Calipari said of Hawkins.

HOGS CONTINUED FROM 10A

missed their first nine shots to start the game and the first six of the second.

Vandy used a 12-2 run to take its first lead but couldn’t hold it for long.

Barford scored seven of his 10 points in a quick spurt after a tie at 19 to put the Razorbacks ahead to stay.

Arkansas, outscored only three times in the second half all season, wound up leading by as much as 27. Vanderbilt used a 13-0 run late to make the final margin more respectable.

Big picture Vanderbilt: Bubble talk still surrounds the Commodores despite having six Top 50 wins, though three of those came at the expense of Florida. Now they have to wait and see if those wins and a victory over Iowa State are enough to put them into the NCAA Tournament for a second straight year.

Arkansas: The Razorbacks polished their tournament resume with a big win, and now they can take another shot at

Kentucky looking for the program’s second SEC tournament title and first since 2000. They were the No. 3 seed that year too.

Book tells true story of Wild West

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“Dodge City: Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and the Wickedest Town in the American West” by Tom Clavin c. 2017, St. Martin’s Press $29.99; 400 pages It’s only a piece of metal.

Star-shaped, circular, oval, or shield-like, it’s so small, it could fit in your hand or your pocket. It’s made of few letters, a few numbers, and a high shine that reflects lights – particularly blue and red ones, flashing.

It can call up respect, it sometimes attracts derision, it can calm turmoil, finish arguments and, in the new book “Dodge City” by Tom Clavin, a badge can be the stuff of legend.

Of all the towns that appeared in the West in the 1870s, why is there “immediate name recognition” for Dodge City?

The short answer, says Clavin, was that Dodge City might’ve been unremarkable, except for three “uncontainable” things that came together in one Kansas spot: “buffalo, railroads, and longhorn cattle from Texas.”

The junction of the three made Dodge City “a totally lawless young town,” and the perfect place for myths to be made.

But here’s the truth …

Born into a large family and raised in Iowa, Wyatt

Earp was “bold,” even as a child. He would tolerate no foolishness and embraced an “adventurous life” that ultimately led him west.

There, he lived and thrived in an area with a reputation for hard living and hard drinking, though Earp was a nearteetotaler.

Bartholomew Masterson (who later took the name William Barclay Masterson) was born in Quebec, Canada, and never quite got around to becoming an official U.S. citizen. He, too, was born into a large family and was said to love a good prank and a better joke; he also loved to hunt buffalo, which is how he reportedly met Wyatt Earp.

The two shared a type of Old West wanderlust and a sense of adventure.

Both moved restlessly from city to territory; Earp married and was briefly a father, while Masterson gained a reputation for being a gunfighter.

Both fell afoul of the law

for various crimes before settling down and becoming peacekeepers themselves. Each seemed to know that he could call on the other for help when needed – which is what happened in 1883 when the “wickedest” city in the West was out of control.

Much as I enjoyed the bulk of “Dodge City,” its subtitle is a bit of a misnomer.

This book is, indeed, the story of two historically-iconic men in a dusty Kansas town, but that’s not all. Clavin also writes of other Old West towns and about dozens of contemporaries of Masterson and Earp, which is necessary but can be overwhelming, too – especially since neither man stayed in place for very long.

Still, Clavin tells a lively tale that’s both entertaining and informative, with plenty of action and little-known information to keep a reader around. It’s those between-facts facts that prove the romanticism of the Old West is absolutely misguided.

Fans of Western U.S. history or lovers of Larry McMurtry novels should covet this nonfiction book; it’s everything you want it to be. If you’re unfamiliar with Old West history, however, “Dodge City” just might test your mettle.

Cleaning up the grounds Boy Scouts with Troop 123 were among volunteers participating in the Jacinto Foundation’s cleanup of the cour thouse and grounds last Saturday. Jacinto is preparing for the upcoming season and hosting a Running Wild Films movie production on March 20 and 21. “Saturday’s volunteers worked hard both inside and outside the courthouse, and we are extremely grateful to them,” said Beth Whitehurst, Jacinto Foundation executive director.

Alcorn Central Middle School students learn with new Walking Classroom Alcorn Central Middle School is thrilled to announce that students in the fifth grade classes are now getting fresh air and exercise while they learn.

Thanks in part to a grant from Mississippi Professional Educators (MPE) and a matching grant from The Walking Classroom, the fifth graders received one classroom set “Walkkit” audio players for a class of twenty five students that are preloaded with over 100 podcasts on topics including science, social studies, and language arts. Comprehension quizzes, discussion questions, and other supplemental materials are provided in a Teacher’s Guide.

The Walking Classroom is simple. Students take brisk 20-minute walks, as a class, while listening to the same custom-written, kid-friendly podcast. Each podcast begins with a brief health literacy message, and the lesson plans in the Teacher’s Guide help educators effectively discuss and review the podcast material. The program gets kids out of their seats and walking without sacrificing instructional time.

Mrs. Nancy Lambert, who initiated getting this program for the school, said she is very excited to give the students a chance to make use of this program during their library/ fine arts time.

“I think it will be a great addition to our curriculum, both for academics and to help students begin to think about their physical wellbeing as well.”

The Walking Classroom’s “Walk, Listen, and Learn” methodology combines listening with exercise to capitalize on the strong connection between physical activity and improved brain function, resulting in improved classroom per-

‘Beauty and the Beast’ to enchant a new generation

BY LINDSEY BAHR AP Film Writer

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

— In 1991, Disney struck gold with “Beauty and the Beast.” The film enchanted audiences and critics alike, and raked in several hundred million dollars along the way, but also upended expectations of what an animated film could be.

Not only did the New York Times theater critic controversially call it the best Broadway musical score of the year (spurring an actual Broadway show three years later), it also was the first-ever animated film to be nominated for a best picture Oscar.

Over a quarter century later, the legacy endures but times have changed, and there’s a new “Beauty and the Beast” on the block. Out March 17, the film is a lavish live-action reimagining of the “tale as old as time” with stateof-the-art CG splendor, Howard Ashman and Alan Menken’s classic songs and score (and a few new tunes with Tim Rice), and a modern social consciousness.

The film stars “Harry Potter’s” Emma Watson as the bookish heroine Belle, who yearns for adventure outside of the confines of her “small provincial town” and “Downton Abbey” alum Dan Stevens as the cursed and cold Beast. Their supporting cast is a coterie of veterans, including Kevin Kline (Maurice), Emma Thompson (Mrs. Potts), Ian McKellen (Cogsworth), Audra McDonald (Madame Garderobe), Stanley Tucci (Maestro Cadenza) and Ewan McGregor (Lumiere).

That Disney’s specific vision for “Beauty and the Beast” has lived on is no surprise, and its 13-year run on Broadway helped keep it in the cultural consciousness.

“It’s genuinely romantic, a genuinely beautiful story,” Menken said of its lasting appeal.

And then there’s the nostalgia aspect. For many (including the cast), this was a seminal childhood film.

Luke Evans (Gaston) saw it when he was 12, Josh Gad (LeFou) when he was 10, and Gugu

Mbatha-Raw (Plumette) when she was 8. Suffice it to say, they all knew the lyrics to the songs before they were cast.

The remake is also part of the Walt Disney Company’s ongoing strategy to mine their vaults for animated fare worthy of live-action re-creations.

“Mulan,” ‘‘The Little Mermaid,” ‘‘Aladdin” and “The Lion King” are just a few already in the works.

But that doesn’t mean there weren’t worthy updates to be made in “Beauty and the Beast.”

Director Bill Condon (“Dreamgirls”) delighted in rooting the story in a specific time and place — 1740 France — and adorning every last corner of the production with Rococo and Baroque details.

Technology advances allowed the production to render household objects that look believable when brought to life. The Beast’s look, meanwhile, was achieved by combining performance capture and MOVA, a facial capture system, meaning Stevens throughout production walked on stilts

and sported a prosthetic muscle suit with a gray body suit on top. (Yes, he danced in this getup).

The characters are more fleshed out as well.

The Beast gets a backstory. As does Belle, whose independence looked refreshingly radical in ‘91 and goes even further here.

“She’s a 21st century Disney princess. She’s not just a pretty girl in a dress,” Evans said. “She’s fearless and needs no one to validate her.”

That the woman behind the character is also the UN women’s goodwill ambassador only adds to its resonance.

“I think Emma’s an incredible role model for young girls, as somebody who has two daughters but also has a young son who I want to grow up with these values instilled,” Stevens said.

And, in a tribute to Ashman, who died of complications relating to AIDS at age 40 before the ’91 film came out, the production

even unearthed forgotten lyrics from his notes, which they’ve added to two songs in the new film — “Gaston” and “Beauty and the Beast.”

While many of the beats, and even lines, remain the same as in ’91, the world looks more diverse from the very first shots. Faces of all races can be seen both in the grand castle and the country town. “(Condon) wanted to make a film that was resonant for 2017, that represents the world as it is today,” said Mbatha-Raw. Much has been made, too, of LeFou’s subtle “gay moment,” which put the internet in a tizzy far ahead of anyone actually seeing the film. On one side, GLAAD was applauding, on the other, a Facebook page apparently belonging to the Henagar Drive-In Theatre in Henagar, Alabama, announced that it would not be showing the film.

Many in the production have backed away from

Dystopian fiction is selling like there’s no tomorrow

BY COLLIN BINKLEY Associated Press

BOSTON — Save the light reading for later. In 2017, dystopian fiction is all the rage.

Gloomy classics depicting societies gone terribly wrong have shot to the top of best-seller lists like Amazon’s in recent months, including George Orwell’s “1984” and Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” prompting publishers to ramp up production decades after the books were first released. Others have followed close behind, such as Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World,” Sinclair Lewis’ “It Can’t Happen Here” and Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451.”

Some nonfiction works in the same vein have seen similar resurgences, including Hannah Arendt’s 1951 “Origins of Totalitarianism.”

Longtime staples in English literature courses, dystopian works are attracting new attention from casual readers and social book clubs. Local theater groups are adapting versions for the stage.

College courses on dystopian classics are suddenly drawing long wait lists.

Much of the renewed interest has followed the November election of President Donald Trump, which publishers and scholars say is no coincidence.

“Definitely the election had an effect,” said LuAnn Walther,” editorial director of the paperback division at Knopf. “There’s fear out there about what is going to happen, and I think these predictive books are helpful to people who are looking for the dangers the future might hold.”

One edition of “1984” has seen sales jump by 10,000 percent since January, when Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway defended incorrect claims as “alternative facts” in a

TV interview. It instantly drew comparisons to the type of government manipulation Orwell wrote about nearly 70 years ago.

“That was so perfectly Orwellian, that truth is variable and can be changed, and that there’s a fact and then there’s a counter-fact,” said Peter Stansky, an Orwell biographer and a professor emeritus of history at Stanford University. “The current Trump situation has just caused a vast upsurge in interest.”

Other critics have said Trump’s views on immigration and the news media, while not unique, would fit neatly into the plot of a dystopian tale.

In college classes on dystopian works, students have been eager to draw their own parallels. Dozens of U.S. movie theaters are screening a film version of “1984” in April as a protest against many of Trump’s policies.

“Orwell’s portrait of a government that manufactures their own facts, demands total obedience and demonizes foreign enemies has never been timelier,” the group United State of Cinema, which is organizing the protest, wrote in a statement.

Those types of barbs are far from new in American politics. Critics of former President Barack Obama compared him to the watchful Big Brother in “1984” after a vast government surveillance program was detailed in 2013 leaks. Sales of the novel surged then, too.

In the case of Trump, some scholars say the comparisons are largely unjustified.

“On the face of it, there are absolutely no parallels,” said Robert Colls, a professor of cultural history at Britain’s De Montfort University who wrote a 2013 book on Orwell.

“Trump was elected, and as far as I know he hasn’t purged anyone or killed

anyone.”

Quentin Kopp, a leader of the nonprofit Orwell Society, said that there may be some similarities but that “it’s easy to overstate these parallels or dig too hard.” His group seeks to promote Orwell’s life and works but takes no political stance.

Some experts say readers often return to dystopian works during periods of great change, hoping to find out how they can avoid the nightmarish worlds the works depict.

Beyond the U.S. election, readers might be jarred by events like the global refugee crisis, some say.

“There’s a factor of activism that you can take away from reading dystopian fiction, reading it as a defense against who we might become,” said Therese Cox, a doctoral candidate teaching a course on dystopian fiction at Columbia University. “It speaks to impulses and fears that we’ve had for a very long time.”

Others say new adaptations of classic works have fueled renewed interest.

Hulu is releasing a TV version of “The Handmaid’s Tale” in April, telling the story of a woman in New England after an oppressive religious regime takes over. In June, a British stage production of “1984” is headed to Broadway.

John Morillo, who teaches a course on dystopias at North Carolina State University, said readers have long enjoyed dystopian fiction because it lets them experience the thrill of something horrific without the threat of real danger. But now he sees another benefit — it can offer readers a comforting reminder about the world today.

“Now maybe it’s a sense that, well, it’s still not that bad,” he said. “They can close this book and say, ‘Now there’s hope for the future.’”

Iconic rock arch from ‘Game of Thrones’ falls into sea at Malta Associated Press

VALLETTA, Malta — The Azure Window, a natural rock arch which jutted onto the sea off Malta and was a backdrop for the “Game of Thrones” TV series, has collapsed in a storm.

Malta Prime Minister Joseph Muscat tweeted his “heartbreaking” sad-

ness at the loss Wednesday of one of the main tourist attractions on the island of Gozo.

No one was injured.

Geologist Peter Gatt said the limestone pillar supporting the arch gave way.

He attributed the collapse to years of erosion by both under- and over-

ground sea swells.

The window also served as a backdrop in the 1981 movie “Clash of the Titans.”

With parts of the rock formation crumbling over the years, the government last month enacted €1,500 fines ($2,300) for anyone caught walking across the arch.

Crossword

the topic entirely.

“To define LeFou as gay ... nobody who sees the movie could define it that way. He’s enthralled with Gaston,” Menken said.

“I’m happy that LeFou is getting so much attention. But I pray that this stupid topic goes away because it’s just not relevant with any respect to the story. Even the one moment that’s being discussed is just a silly little wink. It’s nothing.”

For his part, Gad thinks it’s been “overblown,” too, and that the story is more about “inclusiveness” and not judging a book by its cover.

“It’s a story with a lot of wonderful messages, and, really once you watch the film, anyone who is wondering what it’s all about will understand that it’s a beautiful story, inclusive of everyone. It’s a legacy that I’m proud to be part of,” Evans added.

“But you can judge Gaston by his cover,” he said with a smirk. “That’s exactly who he is.”

In ‘Skull Island,’ Kong gets drafted into Vietnam

BY JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer

Not since Marlon Brando in “Apocalypse Now” murmured of “the horror” has such a brooding beast lurked deep within a war-ravaged jungle as the King Kong of “Kong: Skull Island.”

Yes, the big ape is back, this time with a rollicking Vietnam War backdrop and the Creedence Clearwater-thumping soundtrack to match.

The year is 1973, Nixon is pulling troops out of Vietnam and American explorer Bill Randa (John Goodman) has convinced a senator (Richard Jenkins) to bankroll a quick expedition on the way out to an uncharted South Pacific island where “myth and science meet.”

Unlike Brando’s Colonel Kurtz, we don’t have to wait very long for our

errand boys — a cobbledtogether team led by Lt. Col. Packard (Samuel L. Jackson) — to encounter Kong on the exotic island. No sooner has their swarm of helicopters penetrated the island’s permanently stormy perimeter is Kong swatting them away like flies, and the soldiers —fresh off the failed war — yet again find themselves in a gruesome quagmire.

What’s a gorilla got to do with Vietnam? Well, that’s the 800-pound metaphor in the room.

“Kong: Skull Island” is the latest in a long line of reboots going back to the 1933 original. The disappointment of Peter Jackson’s lavish but bloated 2005 attempt pushed producers to explore some other kind of evolution for the chest-pounding primate. Director Jordan

Vogt-Roberts (whose only previous feature was the indie comedy “The Kings of Summer”) has uprooted the tale from its imperialist origins (beware of what you plunder abroad) and commissioned Kong as a stand-in for the folly of Vietnam.

The shift, which follows a brief World War II preamble, gives “Kong: Skull Island” a strange and surreal energy. An “Apocalypse Now” with monsters is about as bizarre a fit as you’d expect. It is, at least, not the cookie-cutter monster movie it might have been, and Vogt-Roberts — who fills his movie with napalm gas, a chattering Nixon bobble head and fireballs in dense jungles — gleefully plunges into his cartoonish, digitally rendered heart of darkness.

The result is at turns

grim and goofy. “Kong: Skull Island,” penned by Dan Gilroy, Max Borenstein and Derek Connolly, is never quite sure which it wants to be, but VogtRoberts is having too much fun to care.

The team includes a British ex-spy (Tom Hiddleston, who tries to do little beyond handsomely smolder through the film), a self-described “anti-war” photojournalist (Brie Larson, mostly just running with the pack and, later, catching Kong’s eye), and a handful of Vietnam vets under Packard’s command.

The island, shot in Hawaii, is a verdant, mountainous paradise filled with not just Kong but other gargantuan creatures — a giant octopus, a long-legged spider — and, it turns out, John C. Reilly. He pops up as Hank

Marlow, a WWII pilot downed on Skull Island decades earlier, whose long years there have left him a little nutty.

There’s something here about the tragic sacrifices and wasted heroism of soldiers, used as pawns against the wrong foes.

Jackson’s Packard — a bloodthirsty cowboy who wants to stay in the rodeo — takes the mission as a happy reprieve from the peace time he fears, but his infantry men wish they could just go home.

Whereas Reilly’s instinct is to lean into the movie’s absurdities, Jackson (in fine, full-throated form) solemnly readies for a mano-a-mano showdown with Kong.

By then, it has turned out that Kong isn’t the real enemy, but Packard is undeterred. When others want to call in the cavalry,

he glowers: “I am the cavalry!”

Ultimately, the film’s Vietnam setting is less about warfare and history than finding an intoxicating canvas for a pretty old story. “Kong: Skull Island” is more about the monster clashes and, as the post-credit clip (a true commercial) proves, setting up future installments. A wider kaijuverse is planned.

King Kong, like many before him, has merely been drafted into a war not his choosing.

“Kong: Skull Island,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for brief strong language.”
