People of the Crossroads Ruby Mowrey, Corinth Ruby Mowrey has enjoyed two careers. Originally born and raised in Alabama, she moved to Pace, Fla., in 1969. She worked for a convenience store chain for many years, then in in 1990, she changed her entire career. She became an over the road truck driver. Mowrey has traveled all 48 states, Alaska and Canada. She enjoyed her career for about a decade. The last six months, before retirement, she drove and delivered firetrucks and ambulances for E-ONE Emergency Vehicles. She told of a firetruck she drove to Las Vegas, Nev., that had “tires taller than my head.” She also, to visit her son in the military, got to travel to Spain, accompanied by her sister. “Not bad for one of 10 children of an Alabama sharecropper,” she said a grin.

form with us. It opens more possibilities and adds texture and variety to a flute concert,” stated Campbell.

The program is titled “The Moody Flutes, Volume 2” and includes a variety of musical eras and styles. From the middle ages to Bach, from a piper entertaining rural shepherds to the sounds of New Orleans, and wrapping up with soulful jazz and a little swinging gospel, this short concert is sure to entertain the listener. The music should last approximately 30 minutes.

Flutist Thomas is a senior at Adamsville High School

The magical music of the flute will be celebrated this week in the latest installment of the Corinth Music Club’s concert series.

The club will present a free Mid-Morning Concert at 11 a.m.

Tuesday in the historic Fillmore Street Chapel in downtown Corinth.

This month’s concert features area flutist Bobbi Campbell and two of her private flute students, Natalie Thomas and Alaina Wilder. Sara Ellington and Bevin Wilder will assist by playing the piano accompaniment on some of the pieces.

Across the State Associated Press

Law threatening to close clinic blocked JACKSON — A federal court on Friday permanently blocked Mississippi’s law that threatened to close the state’s only abortion clinic by setting a hospital-privileges requirement the clinic couldn’t fulfill.

The ruling comes eight months after the U.S. Supreme Court blocked a similar law in Texas.

In a statement, Center for Reproductive Rights President and CEO Nan-

cy Northup called the ruling the latest victory for women’s health and rights. “Our landmark win at the Supreme Court last summer continues to reverberate across the nation,� Northup said. “Any politician trying to roll back women’s constitutional rights should take notice and remember the law is on our side.�

An emailed request for comment from Republican Gov. Phil Bryant’s office was not immediately returned.

Bryant has said the law he signed in 2012

was designed to help women.

Texas fugitive dead after police pursuit MCCOMB — Authorities say a man wanted for a double homicide in Texas is dead after a pursuit in Mississippi.

Mississippi Bureau of Investigation spokesman Warren Strain tells WLBTTV seems to indicate the man shot and killed himself Friday after leading state troopers on a high-speed chase.

Highway Patrol spokesman Cpl. Brandon

Fortenberry tells The Enterprise-Journal that troopers received word the suspect, traveling in a white Ford Escape, had crossed the Mississippi-Louisiana line on Interstate 55 about 4:33 p.m. About a mile south of Summit, he went into a field where he apparently shot himself about 5 p.m.

Strain says his agency working with Texas authorities to positively identify the man, who’s suspected of killing two people Wednesday in the Austin area over an apparent business dispute.

MAYOR Alaina Wilder CONTINUED FROM 1A

blessed to be around people that have been very generous to us, and the people of Glen are just really special people.�

He and his wife bought property in Glen about 10 years ago and built a home in the town a few years later.

This will be Beavers’ first experience as an elected oďŹƒcial. “I realize we don’t have a great amount of funds, but I think a lot of things can be done to bring out the beauty that exists inside of Glen and be able to make it one of the favorite small towns in Mississippi,â€? he said.

Glen collects no property tax, leaving the town’s share of sales tax as the main revenue source. With a new Dollar General open, the town hopes that revenue will be on the rise.

One of the things Beavers would like to see

Municipal leadership for 2017-2021 Glen Mayor - Danny Beavers Aldermen - David J. Derrick, David Scott Derrick, Frances J. Null, Ruth V. Seller, Shirley Tutor

Kossuth Mayor - Donald R. Pace Aldermen - Steve Jones, Jerry Strickland, Dusty Essary, James Allen, Paul Rollison the town work on is improvements at the Glen crossing on Highway 72 such as lighting to make it safer. “My thing is public safety,� he said. “That’s what I’ve lived and breathed for years.

There’s more than just police work to public safety. We can do some things to improve the community.�

Other ideas are adding fire hydrants, starting a cleanup campaign on the highway, developing the

town’s Civil War history, and finding a use for the closed Glendale school building. “The school issue, I think that’s going to be a pretty hot topic,� said Beavers. “There’s a chance there to be able to do something for not only our community but surrounding communities.�

The current mayor, John Little, took oďŹƒce when his father, Bobby, died early in his third term. Little said the timing is right to move on.

He feels he carried out some of his father’s main goals, including paying o the debt on the municipal building, which will happen within a year, and securing a Dollar General store for the town.

Little’s business is requiring more of his time these days, and he also wants to to devote more time to his children. “I enjoyed being the mayor, but I am ready to give it to somebody else,� he said. “I believe Danny will do a good job. He’s energetic and his heart is in it.�

Little praised the aldermen for their eorts. “In 12 years, we’ve never had a ‘no’ vote,â€? he said. “They are all good people and have the town’s best interest at heart.â€?

Members of the Glen Board of Aldermen will be David J. Derrick, David Scott Derrick, Frances J. Null, Ruth V. Sellers and Shirley Tutor. Retiring from the board is John Sellers, who has been an alderman since the town’s incorporation in 1993. David Scott Derrick is the newcomer to the board.

In Kossuth, Mayor Donald R. Pace will advance to a fifth term.

On the Board of Aldermen, incumbents Steve Jones, Jerry Strickland, Dusty Essary and James Allen will be joined by Paul Rollison, a former aldermen. Longtime Alderman Ken Rainey did not seek another term.

The new term of office begins July 3.

Corinth, Miss.

Don’t let Senate parliamentarian kill repeal effort for the ACA She has the whole world in her hands.

Her name is Elizabeth MacDonough.

A graduate of ultra-liberal Vermont Law School, she was tapped by Senator Harry Reid to be the Senate parliamentarian in 2012. Now, as long as the Senate Republicans allow it, she can decide the fate of the efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Her job right now is to determine which elements of the Republican Obamacare replacement bill are budgetary and which are normal legislation. Only the parts she deems to be budgetary are allowed to pass with only a simple majority. The rest requires 60 votes, a political impossibility in the current environment.

At issue is the list of 10 “essential” services that the Obamacare statute requires be included in any health insurance plan offered through the exchanges. This list drives premiums and deductibles up to levels most people cannot afford, forcing them to opt out of the system. A downward spiral ensues: The risk pool becomes sicker and older, and the premiums keep going up, further reducing the pool of the young and the healthy.

Given her liberal roots, MacDonough is likely to rule that 60 votes are needed to dilute the requirement, which would be fatal to reform. If the Senate passed the reform bill without cutting the required services, the new system would fall victim to the same spiral that doomed the old one, leaving the cost too high and the ranks of the insured too thin.

What most younger couples want is catastrophic coverage. But Obamacare does not permit it unless you are under 30. And why do 60-year-olds need maternity care coverage? Why does everyone need insurance covering substance abuse therapy or mental health?

They don’t. But because of MacDonough’s opinion, they might have to buy the extra coverage or have no insurance at all.

Sen. Ted Cruz asks the key question: Why listen to her?

By a simple majority, the Senate Republicans can overrule the decision of the parliamentarian and Obamacare reform will likely pass and be effective.

All the problems conservatives have with the proposed bill by Paul Ryan are due to its failure to cut the list of services in deference to the parliamentarian’s likely ruling. The house speaker dares not pass a bill the Senate can’t, so Ryan didn’t touch the required services list. That led to CBO’s pessimistic report about the number of people who would be uninsured and the high cost of the Ryan replacement.

Sweep aside Elizabeth MacDonough’s ruling and it all goes away.

Who died and left her in charge?

Prayer for today Creator of all, I do know that if I may hold myself close enough, I can hear restful music through the breeze, and find secrets in the flowers and leaves. I rejoice that thou hast made the woods and rivers that thou dost love, so I too might possess them, and not be a tenant of them only. May I look and study deeper the things which bring me closer to thee. Amen.

A verse to share So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

2 Thessalonians 2:15

Response to Carson’s remarks unfair Dr. Ben Carson, in a speech before employees of Housing and Urban Development, the department he now runs, likened slaves to “immigrants”: “That’s what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity.

There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder, for less. But they, too, had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, greatgranddaughters, might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land.”

Carson got hammered.

Late-night comic Trevor Noah said: “It makes them sound like they work at Wal-Mart. ... Calling slaves ‘immigrants’ is like saying: ‘It’s not kidnapping.

That person just got a free vacation in a basement.’ ...

Slaves weren’t immigrants.

Because an immigrant has choice. They choose the country they’re going to because they hope it will bring them a better life. Saying that slaves are just another group of immigrants erases how black people were uniquely oppressed in America. It helps justify blaming African-Americans for their hardships.”

Actress Whoopi Goldberg said: “Were the slaves really thinking about the American dream? No, because they were thinking, ‘What the (expletive) just happened?!’ You know, when

people immigrate, they come with the idea that they’re going someplace for a better Larry life. ... It’s Elder v o l u n t a r y . ... How does Columnist he miss what slavery is?!

How does he miss that no slave came to this country willingly? ... Ben, ‘Roots.’

Watch ‘Roots.’”

TV personality Star Jones tweeted: “No way in the world he is that friggin ignorant.” Using the pile-ofexcrement emoji, she called the renowned neurosurgeon “(expletive) for brains.” She ended the tweet: “#UncleTom thy name is #BenCarson.”

Rep. Keith Ellison, DMinn., insists that Carson’s “slave equals immigrant” perspective means he is unqualified to lead HUD because Carson “doesn’t know how urgent it is to confront racism” in housing: “It’s disturbing to me, and it should be to every American, not just black Americans. ... For him, the HUD secretary, to have a stunning misunderstanding of history like that, is really, really striking. ...

And so for the HUD secretary not to get that means that he doesn’t know how urgent it is to confront racism and discrimination in housing, which is a very scary thing for the HUD secretary to not understand.”

Following the uproar, Carson posted this clarification on Facebook: “The slave narrative and immigrant narrative are two entirely different experiences. ...

The two experiences should never be intertwined, nor forgotten, as we demand the necessary progress towards an America that’s inclusive and provides access to equal opportunity for all.”

One slight problem.

The “insensitive” and “demeaning” slave-equalsimmigrant argument was made on a number of occasions by President Barack Obama: “It wasn’t always easy for new immigrants,” Obama said at a 2015 naturalization ceremony for new citizens. “Certainly it wasn’t easy for those of African heritage who had not come here voluntarily, and yet in their own way were immigrants themselves.

There was discrimination and hardship and poverty.

But, like you, they no doubt found inspiration in all those who had come before them. And they were able to muster faith that, here in America, they might build a better life and give their children something more.”

In fact, according to the Federalist, Obama likened slaves to immigrants on 11 different occasions.

“Whether our ancestors landed on Ellis Island,” said Obama, “or came here on a slave ship or crossed the Rio Grande, we are all connected to one another. We rise

and fall together.”

Goldberg, Noah, Jackson and Ellison were obviously occupied the 11 times Obama showed he “doesn’t know how urgent it is to confront racism.”

Why the silence over Obama’s many slaveequals-immigrant comments versus the desk pounding by the same critics when Carson says the same thing? Carson represents an existential threat to the left. He is deadly to their cause – a black man, raised in poverty by a hardworking, welfare-abstaining single mom who taught her children to embrace hard work and education. The left believes that blacks are perpetual victims of slavery, Jim Crow and racism. It is vital for the existence of the Democratic Party to convince blacks to vote like victims in need of protection from the racist, sexist retrogrades known as Republicans. So black conservatives like Carson, who argues that welfare creates dependency, who demands choice in K-12 education and who believes hard work wins, must be attacked, marginalized and dismissed as “against their own people.”

McCain hijacks Trump’s policy “The senator from Kentucky,” said John McCain, speaking of his colleague Rand Paul, “is working for Vladimir Putin ... and I do not say that lightly.”

What did Sen. Paul do to deserve being called a hireling of Vladimir Putin?

He declined to support McCain’s call for a unanimous Senate vote to bring Montenegro into NATO as the 29th member of a Cold War alliance President Trump has called “obsolete.”

Bordered by Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo and Albania, tiny Montenegro has a population roughly that of D.C., and sits on the western coast of the most volatile peninsula in Europe.

What strategic benefit would accrue from having Montenegro as an ally that would justify the risk of our having to go to war should some neighbor breach Montenegro’s borders?

Aflame with ethnic, civil and sectarian war in the 1990s, the western Balkans are again in political turmoil.

minister who resigned on election day in October, claims that he was targeted for assassinaPat tion by RusBuchanan sia to prevent Montenegro’s Columnist accession to NATO. Russia denies it. But on the Senate floor, McCain raged at Rand Paul: “You are achieving the objectives of Vladimir Putin ... trying to dismember this small country which has already been the subject of an attempted coup.”

But if Montenegro, awash in corruption and crime, is on the verge of an uprising or coup, why would the U.S. issue a war guarantee that could vault us into a confrontation with Russia – without a full Senate debate?

Is no one besides Sen. Paul asking the relevant questions here?

President Trump should tell the Senate: No more admissions to NATO, no more U.S. war guarantees, unless I have recommended or ap-

proved them. Foreign policy is made in the White House, not on the Senate floor.

Indeed, what happened to the foreign policy America voted for – rapprochement with Russia, an end to U.S. wars in the Middle East, and having rich allies share more of the cost of their own defense?

It is U.S., not NATO defense spending that is rising to more than $50 billion this year. And today we learn the Pentagon has drawn up plans for the insertion of 1,000 more U.S. troops into Syria. While the ISIS caliphate seems doomed, this sixyear Syrian war is far from over.

From our longest war, Afghanistan, comes word from U.S. Gen. John Nicholson that we and our Afghan allies are in a “stalemate” with the Taliban, and he will need a “few thousand” more U.S. troops – to augment the 8,500 President Obama left behind when he left office.

Some 5,000 U.S. troops are in Iraq, helping to liberate Mosul from ISIS. In Kabul, Baghdad and Damascus, terrorist bombings are a

In and around the waters of the Persian Gulf, United States warships are harassed

by Iranian patrol boats, as Tehran test-fires anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles to send the Americans a message: Attack us and it will not be a cakewalk war.

Winning is giving 100 percent

BY JIMMY C. REED Columnist

In reading and writing, I found rhyme and reason, but not in arithmetic.

One afternoon, when Jaybird and I were lounging on his front porch looking across my father’s Mississippi Delta farm, I told him that my teacher’s explanation of percentages went right over my head.

The wise old black man, my boyhood best friend and mentor, was the most gifted teacher I have ever known, and as was the case so many times before, he filled another gap in my education.

“Let’s say you’ve got $100, and I borrow it all. That’s a hunnud pussent. If I borrow $50, that’s fifty pussent; if you loan me $10, that’s ten pussent. But, if you remember what I always taught you — don’t never borrow and don’t never lend — and you don’t loan me no money, why, that’s zero pussent.”

Jaybird’s lessons were unforgettable, especially the one for overcoming life’s challenges: Work hard, succeed; hardly work, fail.

My school’s spelling bees demonstrated this truth. In the third grade, I won easily by spelling a word the other finalists misspelled, and looked forward to

the next contest.

I wasn’t counting on Velma Jane, whose dad had recently moved his family from Michigan to Mississippi. Her accent cracked me up, and I was convinced that anyone who talked that funny couldn’t be smart. Shy, skinny, pigtailed, and freckled, she kept to herself, always reading books.

In the fourth grade spelling bee, Velma Jane and I were the finalists. We swapped rounds, spelling difficult words, such as aardvark, bivouacking, bourgeois, and chandelier. Then I misspelled “chauffeur.” Velma spelled it correctly.

“That funny-talking girl beat me, Jaybird,” I sniffed.

“Did you practice?” My silence answered.

“Do what she does — practice every day. She put forth a hunnud pussent; you put forth zero pussent.” His words hit home.

One day, I saw Velma Jane in study hall, flipping through a dictionary, randomly selecting pages. When I asked what she was doing, her friendliness surprised me.

“This is how I practice spelling,” she said. “I learn so many words this way. Let me show you.”

From then on, we took turns using her technique and calling out words to each other. We

learned and had fun at the same time.

At the next bee, Velma Jane and I eliminated everyone and squared off again. Something had changed, though. I didn’t want her to win, but didn’t want her to lose either. She thought the same about me. The reason was obvious: We’d become best friends.

An appropriate word — selflessness — stumped me. I was sad about losing, but glad for her; she was happy about winning, but sad for me.

When Jaybird asked how the spelling bee turned out, I shrugged and said, “Velma Jane won.”

“You ain’t mad?”

“No. I don’t feel like I lost — I gave it my all.”

The beloved old black man pulled me close, looked me in the eyes and said, “You didn’t lose because you gave a hunnud pussent.

That’s what winning takes.”

Gatsby Gala enters 11th year STARKVILLE — For the 11th consecutive year, the Charles H. Templeton Ragtime and Jazz Festival is bringing the spirit of the late 19th and early 20th centuries to Mississippi State University’s Mitchell Memorial Library March 30-April 1.

This year’s activities begin on the 30th at 6 p.m. with the popular Gatsby Gala fashion show. Members of the MSU Fashion Board will model approximately 20-30 creations inspired by the 1920s.

Patrons are encouraged to dress in 1920s attire for the event.

Charles Freeman, MSU assistant professor of fashion design and merchandising and university Fashion Board adviser, said the original garment designs are created by MSU students enrolled in freshman through se-

nior-level design courses taught by Catherine Black, a visiting professor in fashion design and merchandising.

The School of Human Sciences also will sponsor a historic exhibit in the library’s third-floor John Grisham Room featuring 1920s apparel and accessories.

Under the guidance of adviser Lynette McDougald, members of the university’s Student Chapter of the American Institute of Floral Designers will gain hands-on experience while decorating the library with floral designs popular in the 1920s.

Jeff Barnhart of Mystic, Connecticut, returning festival solo artist and artistic director, will provide music for the Gala.

Researchers to meet, discuss water issues STARKVILLE — Water.

How can something so simple be so complex?

Researchers with expertise in a wide range of water-related issues will converge this month for the SEC Academic Conference to discuss the often complex issues related to the earth’s most life-giving resource.

Anna Linhoss, a Mississippi State assistant professor of agricultural and biological engineering and chair of the conference organizing committee, said she looks forward to meeting the best scientists in the Southeast and anticipates learning more about cutting-edge research from colleagues at other SEC universities.

“The Future of Water: Regional Collaboration on Shared Climate, Coastlines and Watersheds” is the theme of this year’s conference that will focus on research collaboration.

Mississippi State University will host the March 27-28 event, and the new SEC Academic Conference is set to showcase SEC university research in areas of critical importance within the region and around the nation.

Linhoss’s own research focuses on hydrodynamic and water quality modeling, and her projects con-

centrate on areas such as the Gulf of Mexico and Florida’s Biscayne Bay. The University of Florida doctoral graduate said hydrodynamic modeling simulates the currents and movements of water.

Linhoss earned a master’s degree at the University of Georgia and an undergraduate degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She joined MSU’s Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering in 2013.

Among her research projects is an examination of sand erosion from Deer Island, a barrier island that buffers Mississippi’s coastline. Her research team is utilizing cuttingedge sediment tracers to map the flow of currents and predict sand transportation. She is seeking practical methods to preserve the environment and save the state money on conservation costs.

“The reason we’re tracking sand movement is because we spend a lot of money putting sand back on beaches, and it’s getting washed away. And so if we can understand strategic ways and places to put that sand, then hopefully we can spend less money and less effort re-nourishing our beaches,” Linhoss explained.

GOP at odds over Medicaid

BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The House GOP health care bill has competition from other Republicans, a group of governors who’ve made their own proposal about how to overhaul Medicaid for low-income people.

They’re hoping GOP senators will find their ideas more persuasive.

It’s a gradual approach, with additional options for states. It’s likely to involve more federal spending than the House bill, but also keep more people covered.

In the end, though, the governors are still talking about fundamental change.

Four GOP governors are pushing the plan, saying they represent most of the 33 Republican state chief executives. There’s no inkling of any involvement by Democratic governors, and it’s hard to conceive of such major changes without them.

Medicaid is a federal-state program that covers more than 70 million low-income people, about 1 in 5 Americans. Beneficiaries range from elderly nursing home residents to newborns. Former President Barack Obama expanded the program in his health care law, to mainly help low-income adults with no children living at

home. About half the 31 states that accepted the expansion have Republican governors.

The House Republican bill would start by repealing Obama’s Medicaid expansion. More significantly, it would limit overall federal spending on Medicaid going forward. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says the proposal would result in a cut of $880 billion from projected Medicaid spending from 2017 to 2026.

By that year, 14 million fewer people would have Medicaid coverage, and program spending would be about 25 percent lower than what’s currently projected.

Trump wants 30-foot-high wall

BY ALICIA A. CALDWELL Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration wants to build a 30-foothigh border wall that looks good from the north side and is difficult to climb or cut through, according to a pair of contract notices posted to a government website further detailing President Donald Trump’s promise to build a “big, beautiful wall” at the Mexican border.

The notices were made public late Friday by Customs and Border Protection, the Homeland Security Department agency that will oversee the project and eventually patrol and maintain

the wall. The proposals are due to the government by March 29.

One of the CBP contract requests calls for a solid concrete wall, while the other asks for proposals for a seethrough structure. Both require the wall to sunk at least six feet into the ground and include 25- and 50-foot automated gates for pedestrians and vehicles. The proposed wall must also be built in a such a way that it would take at least an hour to cut through it with a “sledgehammer, car jack, pick axe, chisel, battery operated impact tools, battery operated cutting tools, Oxy/acetylene torch or other similar hand-held tools.”

BOONEVILLE — Leroy Williams, 78, died Saturday, March 18, 2017 in Tupelo.

Funeral arrangements are incomplete with Patterson Memorial Chapel.

ally harm law enforcement officers, firefighters or emergency personnel,” said Bain. “The best part is there wasn’t much debate. It seems everyone agreed that Mississippi needs more Blue Lives Matter laws in place.”

The bill would expand the state’s existing hate crimes law, which enhances penalties for crimes committed because of a victim’s race, religion, national origin or gender.

Proponents have said the “Back the Badge Act” was created in response to the killings of police officers last year in Dallas and Baton Rouge.

Another tragedy happened in Mississippi earlier this week when two volunteer firefighters were struck by a vehicle and killed in Sumrall.

HB 645 is now headed to the governor to possibly be signed into law, and if passed, Bain said it could one of the best new laws put into place later this year.

Gov. Phil Bryant, who started his career as a deputy sheriff, will likely sign the bill which would become law on July 1.

During his State of the State speech in January, he mentioned the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agent Lee Tartt, who was killed in the February 2016 standoff and shootout in Tishomingo County. Three other officers were wounded.

“Across our nation, law enforcement is under attack,” Bryant said then.

“Here in Mississippi, most of our citizens continue to support and respect the men and women who wear the badge and protect and serve.”

Bain said he agrees with the governor’s statement.

“It seems like most Mississippians care deeply about our law enforcement and their safety,” Bain said. “It’s sad the same thing can’t be said about other parts of the country.”

“Back the Badge” originally proposed tripling the penalties for attacks on law enforcement officers, firefighters or emergency workers — in or out of uniform. Senators changed that to double penalties, and the House accepted that change.

According to the final version, the bill can’t be

interpreted to limit the constitutional right to free speech — an addition that addresses concerns about the possibility of people being punished for protesting police behavior.

During earlier debates, some members in both chambers raised concerns about harsh treatment of African-Americans by police officers.

According to current law, aggravated assault — a broad crime that generally covers violent attacks that don’t kill a victim — is punishable by up to 20 years in prison for most cases, or 30 years if the victim is on a list that includes law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency workers.

It was not immediately clear whether the penalty would be 40 years or 60 years under “Back the Badge.”

Lottery is almost dead A Gaming Commission appropriation bill was looked at closely last week, during the final few days to consider such bills.

SB 2986 was amended as a last ditch effort by some lawmakers to establish a state lottery. The amendment died, however, ending another chance to enact a Mississippi lottery.

“There’s still a few chances left for it to come back this session. If not, I’m certain it is a measure that will be back next year,” said Bain, who is one of the many Democratic lawmakers against creating a lottery.

Flag push fails Two Senate bills which would have required state schools to display the Mississippi state flag in order to receive state money also died last week.

The bills acted to withhold a tax break from universities that don’t fly the flag.

All eight of Mississippi’s public universities have stopped flying the flag, which prominently features the Confederate battle emblem.

MSU doctor didn’t disclose probe EAST LANSING, Mich.

— Records show a Michigan State University doctor resigned after learning the school was considering her termination because she didn’t disclose that USA Gymnastics was investigating Dr. Larry Nassar.

The Lansing State Journal reports that documents obtained from Brooke Lemmen’s personnel file through the Freedom of Information Act reveal she also removed patient records at Nassar’s request.

Nassar was a sports doctor at Michigan State and USA Gymnastics. He’s charged with molesting gymnasts who came to him for treatments for hip and back injuries.

Dozens of former female athletes also are suing him for alleged assaults. Nassar has denied wrongdoing.

Prairie dogs helped to aid ferrets CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Feeding vaccine nuggets to prairie dogs could help bring back a species of prairie weasel that almost went extinct.

Scientists thought the black-footed ferret was extinct until a Wyoming ranch dog brought a ferret home in 1981.

One of the biggest barriers to restoring the black-footed ferret to Western ranges is plague, a disease that kills prairie dogs by the thousand. Black-footed ferrets feed almost exclusively on prairie dogs, meaning plague can leave ferrets without enough to eat.To help black-footed ferrets, the

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and others plan to vaccinate prairie dogs against plague in several Western states later this year.

They will use all-terrain vehicles and possibly drones to disperse vaccine pellets across as much as 40 square miles of ferret habitat.

Uber’s final frontier: Upstate New York BUFFALO, N.Y. — Thousands of college basketball fans flying into Buffalo for early round NCAA tournament games landed squarely in the middle of New York’s big debate over whether to permit Uber in upstate New York.

Uber and Lyft are both banned outside of New York City, leaving upstate New York as the largest area in the continental U.S. where the app-based ride-hailing companies are banned.

A vote by state lawmakers to allow Uber and Lyft to expand into cities like Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse could be weeks away.

Many local leaders say upstate deserves to have the same modern transportation options enjoyed elsewhere in the country.

Previous attempts to authorize the upstate expansion have failed under pressure from taxi cab owners and lawmakers who want stringent regulations.

A bill to make anything less than $500 a misdemeanor sailed through the Republicancontrolled Senate this year, but was stymied in a GOP-led House committee.

Critics say Virginia’s policy is overly harsh without doing anything to prevent crime.

Virginia retailers say shoplifters are often part of organized retail crime rings and are well aware of the state’s larceny threshold. They say the policy deters theft.

Travel ban fight personal for Chin HONOLULU — For Hawaii Attorney General Douglas Chin, the fight against President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban is personal. Born in Seattle to Chinese immigrant parents, Chin recalls being one of a few Asian students in his high school.

Moving to Hawaii in 1989 and experiencing the state’s ethnic diversity was the first time, he says, he no longer felt like an invisible minority. He says Hawaii’s small Muslim population is the invisible minority he’s fighting for.

A federal judge in Honolulu granted his request to temporarily block the latest executive order.

From the courthouse, he went to his office, then to Waikiki, where he was hosting a gathering of attorneys general from Western states because he’s chairman of the group.

Woman locked up for toilet-water meth GULFPORT — A woman arrested after federal agents drained buckets of meth-laced toilet water from her home is heading to prison.

The Sun Herald reported that a judge gave 40-year-old Chiquita Acker of Pearlington, Mississippi, the maximum of 10 years in prison and a $5,000 fine after she pleaded guilty to sale of a controlled substance.

Federal agents arrested Acker in April 2016 as they said she tried to sell methamphetamine at a Gulfport truck stop. Other agents went to her house and heard a toilet flushing. They ripped open the pipe and drained three gallons of toilet water, which tested positive for meth.

Two other people — 36-year-old Tosh “Bugga” Humphrey of Slidell, Louisiana, and 41-year-old Roy “Red” Tatum, 41 of Palestine, Texas — were arrested and are serving five-year sentences.

Lawsuit over Katrina claims stays alive JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court won’t dismiss a state lawsuit against an insurance company over Hurricane Katrina claims.

Interviews set for JSU presidency JACKSON — College Board trustees say they expect to begin conducting interviews to find a new president of Jackson State University in April.

Higher Education Commissioner Glenn Boyce announced the plans at Thursday’s trustee meeting.

Candidates seeking “best consideration” were supposed to apply

by Friday, but applications will be accepted until the post is filled.

A 33-member campus advisory committee will meet to recommend finalists. Trustees led

by C.D. Smith of Meridian would conduct initial interviews April 19 and 20 in Jackson. Board members typically hold a second round of interviews later.

Carolyn Meyers resigned as president of the 10,000-student university last year after trustees intervened in JSU’s finances, citing dwindling cash reserves.

Former U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige is serving as interim president but isn’t eligible for the permanent post.

Groups seek to open 9 charter schools JACKSON — Nine charter school operators say they’re interested in opening new schools in Mississippi, although none of them currently run a charter school anywhere.

Charter schools are

operated by private, nonprofit groups using public money. Mississippi allows such schools to open without permission from the local school board in districts that have an academic rating of “D’’ or “F.” The state’s Charter School Authorizer Board announced Friday that two of the schools are proposed for the Jackson school district. Others are proposed for Canton, Clarksdale, Columbus, Drew, Durant, Greenwood and Magnolia.

Mississippi’s process has heavily favored experienced operators in the past. Startup groups have had trouble proving they have the money and institutional heft to run a school that meets Mississippi’s standards.

All groups must submit full applications by May 9 containing educational, financial and operational plans. Some are likely to drop out along the way or be cut later for incomplete plans. The board is scheduled to vote on proposals Sept. 11, after reviewing applications.

Ex-deputy going to prison on tax fraud HATTIESBURG — The former chief deputy sheriff of a south Mississippi county and his wife are going to federal prison for tax evasion.

U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett on Friday sentenced former Forrest County Chief Deputy Charles Bolton to 45 months in prison. Local media report that his wife, Linda Bolton, was sentenced to 30 months.

The Boltons were convicted Sept. 15 in federal court on five counts of filing false tax returns.

Charles Bolton was also convicted of four counts of tax evasion.

Doug Jumper navigates a drone which will help his firm market properties for sale.

Realtor uses drone to promote properties

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

As a real estate broker, Doug Jumper never expected to add “pilot” to his credentials.

But that is the reality now as Jumper Realty & Associates adds drone photography and video to its services. As a user of a drone for commercial purposes, Jumper was required to obtain an FAA sUAS (small unmanned aircraft systems) pilot license.

“Drone photography is becoming more broadly used in bigger markets, and we’re proud to say

that we’re the first firm, to my knowledge, to bring it here,” said Jumper. “With it, we are able to shoot HD 4K video and stills of large land tracts, estate homes and commercial property.”

Demonstrating use of the drone behind his office on South Harper Road, Jumper uses a controller with his iPhone attached. The phone’s screen shows the view through the camera on the belly of the small flying machine. It ascends straight upward, sounding like a horde of angry bees. Jumper navigates

it to the west until it is over the firm’s Pinnacle property on South Tate Street, where he can survey the work in progress below.

Drones are making it much easier to obtain good shots of larger properties without getting large aircraft involved.

“Some of those properties like farm tracts, commercial tracts and commercial buildings, they don’t necessarily photograph well from the ground, but you can get some really great aerial shots with these things,” said Jumper.

The service is available to anyone who lists with the firm at no additional charge.

“I think clients are looking for that extra edge in marketing, especially on a larger property,” he said.

The view from a camera sweeping along the lake’s edge at a Pickwick waterfront property could make a difference.

“We’ve got clients that have homes with anywhere from 5 to 40 acres,” said Jumper. “It will be ideal for that.”

And one more bonus: “It’s a lot of fun to do,” he said.

Wal-Mart buys clothing seller ModCloth Associated Press

NEW YORK — WalMart has bought trendy clothing seller ModCloth, part of a big push to pick up smaller online brands as it tries to make headway against Amazon.

The company declined to specify the price on the deal that closed Friday, saying only that it was in the same range as its previous two purchases of online businesses. Those were $51 million and $70 million.

Wal-Mart is working hard to attract younger

and more affluent shoppers, but winning over ModCloth’s devoted customers, fans of its vintage-inspired patterned dresses, inclusive sizing and community feel, may be a challenge. Many expressed their disappointment on social media when they heard talk of a deal with Wal-Mart.

Bentonville, Arkansasbased Wal-Mart said ModCloth will continue to operate as a standalone and complementary brand to its other ecommerce sites, and will

bring experience and talent to strengthening the company’s fashion business aimed at millennials.

Independent designers who sell on ModCloth’s site, it said, will gain the opportunity to expand their reach.

ModCloth CEO Matthew Kaness, his executive team and the company’s 300-plus employees will stay based in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Pittsburgh, and will join Wal-Mart’s U.S. ecommerce retail organization.

Wal-Mart spent more than $3 billion for upstart Jet.com last year and since then has purchased other smaller companies, including online footwear retailer ShoeBuy.com and the outdoor gear seller Moosejaw.

Marc Lore, the founder of Jet.com who is now CEO of Walmart.com, said last month that the company was still looking for new startups to purchase.

ModCloth, founded in 2002, has one physical store in Austin, Texas.

Tables show seven most current contracts for each future. Grains traded on Chicago Board of Trade; livestock on Chicago Mercantile Exchange; and cotton on Intercontinental Exchange.

Signature pieces ousted from Monopoly game Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The boot has been booted, the wheelbarrow has been wheeled out, and the thimble got the thumbs down in the latest version of the board game Monopoly. In their place will be a Tyrannosaurus rex, a penguin and a rubber ducky.

More than 4.3 million voters from 146 countries weighed in on which tokens they wanted to see in future versions of the property-acquisition game, which is based on the real-life streets of Atlantic City. Pawtucket, Rhode Island-based Hasbro announced the winners Friday morning.

Jonathan Berkowitz, Hasbro’s senior vice president of marketing, grew up playing the game with his family.

“While I’m sad to see the iconic thimble, boot, and wheelbarrow tokens go, it will be fun to have some new, fan-sourced tokens in the mix,” he said. “Personally, I’ve al-

ways especially liked the boot token, but I’m excited to move onto the T. rex.”

There were 64 contenders, including a winking emoji, a hashtag, a clunky ‘80s-style cellphone and a pair of bunny slippers.

The existing Scottish Terrier, battleship, racecar, top hat and cat tokens will carry on.

The Scottie was top dog in the competition, leading all contenders with 212,476 votes. The T. rex was second with 207,954, and the hat was third with 167,582. The car was fourth with 165,083; the ducky was fifth with 160,485; the cat was sixth with 154,165; the penguin waddled into seventh place with 146,661; and the battleship made the final cut with 134,704 votes.

The closest unsuccessful candidate was the tortoise, which fell nearly 5,700 votes short.

A rain boot got the least support, with 7,239 votes.

The next version of the game will go on sale with

the new tokens in the fall.

The board game was “born” on March 19, 1935, when Parker Brothers acquired the rights to it. In the decades since, an estimated 1 billion people have weighed the merits of buying up utilities and

railroads or trying to hit it big with Boardwalk hotels.

The original 10 tokens were an iron, purse, lantern, racecar, thimble, shoe, top hat, battleship, cannon and a rocking horse.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Don’t miss a special expanded edition of the Daily Corinthian coming Tuesday featuring lots of local columnists, features and more.

Dispatcher pleads for help clearing emergency lines D E A R ABBY: I’m a 911 dispatcher and I am shocked by the abuse of the 911 system. We are Abigail here to help times of Van Buren in emergency, but our lines Dear Abby are continuously tied up by people who don’t have one.

PLEASE help by passing along this plea to your readers: 1. Please don’t call to ask for phone numbers; we are not Information.

2. If you are on a speakerphone or shouting, WE CAN’T HEAR YOU CLEARLY! We know you are upset, but we can’t help if we can’t understand where you are or what type of assistance you need.

3. Do not assume that our computers can pick up your location. We can get an idea of where you are, but there is no guarantee that the information is accurate.

4. Every question we ask is important. You may not think so, but we wouldn’t ask if the information was not vital.

5. And please, don’t call us asking for directions or the time!

A dispatcher’s job is to keep our responders and the public

safe. When our lines are tied up by people who abuse the system, we are unable to help those in dire need of our help.

We spend our days dealing with high-stress situations, and we do our best to guarantee a safe outcome for everyone involved.

Please respect the 911 emergency system and call only for true emergencies. — 911 DISPATCHER DEAR 911 DISPATCHER: I’m printing your letter because it boggles my mind that anyone would be so stupid or inconsiderate as to deliberately call the emergency phone number asking for directions or the time. It is my understanding that some of the 911 systems are antiquated, and too many calls can tie them up, leaving someone with a real emergency unable to get through. In times like that, minutes can be critical. Perhaps the problem would be solved if callers who did not have a true emergency were fined for doing so — since I’m sure you have the number from which the call was placed.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been together for 10 years and have four children.

Two years ago, we went through a rough patch and separated.

After working through our problems, we moved back in together recently.

Over the last few months, I have noticed that I become depressed whenever he’s around.

It’s nothing he does. He’s nice and has improved himself over the last two years, but I miss living without him. I wish we would get a divorce so I could go back to living with just my children.

Do I feel this way because of low self-esteem, or is it something else? I’m not sure what to make of it, and your advice would be greatly appreciated. — SECOND THOUGHTS IN OHIO DEAR SECOND THOUGHTS: It appears that although you and your husband worked through your problems enough to move back together, there’s still more work to be done to repair your relationship.

Be careful what you wish for.

Whether your attraction to him has simply grown stale or you have fallen completely out of love with him, I can’t guess. But with four children in the picture, I hope you will schedule some sessions with a licensed marriage counselor before making any final decisions about making that wish of yours come true.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

What do you do when the results don’t match up with your dreams? Dream differently.

Dream bigger, smaller — and if this reality still can’t find a place in your visions, maybe it’s not worthy of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ve a talent for objectivity, especially when it comes to viewing your own life. This is a rare perspective, so take advantage. What will matter to you about your current scene when you look back on it five years from now?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When you’re not immediately good at the task, this is an opportunity to learn, meet people, connect. There’s nothing wrong with being a little bit helpless at times.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

We don’t always know what’s best for ourselves, but giving one another the benefit of the doubt will be key today. You’re supportive and open-minded because right now agreement

isn’t so important as finding a way to get along.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you can’t manage to get rid of the old to make way for the new, don’t worry. The rotten past may just break down to a most nutrient-rich soil to grow a future that is very much to your liking.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Your modesty is a lovely quality in most situations, but it could hurt your status if you don’t publicly own your work and properties now. Claim the credit that’s due to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

When people feel at home around you, you usually take it as a compliment -- until boundaries are crossed and some get too familiar. They need a bit of training; you’ll lay it down.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Your mission is one of noble intent. It won’t be without its pitfalls, but by the end of the day, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you did your job well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If there’s some favorite

thing of yours that you’ve been overusing lately (something you consume, a show you watch or a person you rely on), you’ll now have more self-control on the matter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Certain people make you feel more alive. It’s quite human to feel the spark of attraction even under circumstances that are less than totally appropriate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Debate the critics. If you don’t have any real ones, debate the critic you imagine. A good argument will be excellent for your productivity. Set a time limit for the exchange, and then send the critic away when it’s done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It is a quirk of human nature to blame those we have harmed and then dislike them for existing as a sign of our imperfection. It is also a quirk of human nature to rise above the quirks of human nature (which you will do beautifully).

Cardinals end Bears’ winning streak An Alcorn Central batter is frozen as he watches a fastball go by that was just inside. Despite the overnight rains that cancelled a majority of local games on Saturday, Alcorn Central was still able to get their game in at Adamsville, Tenn. The Bears saw their four-game winning streak come to an end as they fell 5-4 to the Cardinals. Other games played Saturday featuring local squads were McNairy Central’s 10-0 softball shutout of Tishomingo County in Selmer after the Booneville Tournament was washed out and Bonneville’s 8-6 baseball win over Tishomingo County County in Booneville.

Bulldogs host DePaul in NCAA 2nd round The Associated Press

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State is proud of its home court advantage in the NCAA Tournament and hopes to pack a crowd of 10,000 into Humphrey Coliseum on Sunday.

No matter how many fans are in the seats, DePaul probably won’t be intimidated.

The Blue Demons know a few things about sending a hostile crowd home unhappy.

Second-seeded Mississippi State (30-4) hosts DePaul (27-7) on Sunday with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line.

The Bulldogs beat Troy 11069 on Friday in the first round while the seventh-seeded Blue Demons beat Northern Iowa 88-67.

“They’re comfortable in this environment,” Mississippi State coach Vic Schaefer said.

“And honestly, that’s not good for us. I think they’re comfortable being the underdog.”

DePaul has reached the

Sweet 16 three times in the past six years. Each time, the Blue Demons won the second round game by defeating their opponent on their home floor — Penn State in 2011, Duke in 2014 and Louisville last year.

Senior guards Brooke Schulte and Jessica January were part of the teams that beat Duke and Louisville.

“I don’t think there’s necessarily a secret — it’s just about being consistent and doing the little things you’ve done over the entire year,” January said. “It’s a fun environment.

We’re excited to play in front of a lot of fans, even if they’re not fans for us.”

DePaul coach Doug Bruno said he tries to schedule a few difficult non-conference games each season to prepare his team when an upset opportunity arises in the NCAA Tournament.

“Just because we’ve done it in years past doesn’t mean we’ll do it tomorrow,” Bruno

said. “But one thing I think does put players in a position to play in this environment is playing a very difficult nonconference schedule.”

DePaul played non-conference games against several nationally-ranked teams this season, including UConn, Notre Dame, Syracuse and Baylor. The Blue Demons went just 1-3 in those games, but the experience was valuable.

“We just play DePaul ball, go in fearless, have an edge and be ready to play,” Schulte said.

Here are a few other things to watch in Sunday’s second round game: ROLE PLAYERS — Mississippi State and DePaul both got big contributions from surprising players in their first round wins. The Bulldogs’ Blair Schaefer scored a career-high 21 points while freshman Ameshya Williams added 15 points in just nine

minutes on the court. Blue Demons’ guard Tanita Allen came off the bench to score 25 points while Lauren Prochaska scored a season-high 12 points and had six assists.

THE BIG 3-0 — Mississippi State won its 30th game of the season on Friday, which is a school record. The Bulldogs have set a program record in wins during three straight seasons — they won 27 two years ago and 28 last year.

LINEUP MYSTERY — Vic Schaefer used a surprise starting lineup for Mississippi State’s first round game against Troy. Usual starters Victoria Vivians, Dominique Dillingham and Chinwe Okorie came off the bench and usual reserves Blair Schaefer, Ketara Chapel and Roshunda Johnson started. Vivians — who leads the team by scoring more than 16 points per game — was effective in 16 minutes off the bench, scoring 13 points.

Lady Vols rebound in the 2nd half to top Dayton The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — It’s been an up-and-down season for Tennessee, so it figured the Lady Vols would start their NCAA Tournament run in a similar fashion.

Diamond DeShields scored 24 points to lead fifth-seeded Tennessee to a 66-57 first round victory over Dayton on Saturday.

The Lady Vols (20-11) used a strong second half to pull away from the 12th-seeded Flyers (22-10), shooting 52 percent after halftime to earn the victory. DeShields and Mercedes Russell wouldn’t let the Flyers couldn’t mount a comeback.

They scored 23 of Tennessee’s 37 points in the second half to lead the way.

For DeShields, the daughter

of former baseball star DeLino DeShields, she said the second half play came from what she learned from watching her father and brother play ball.

“When you’re on the big stage, you can’t shy away from that,” said DeShields, who made 8-of-14 shots.

Tennessee shot 70 percent in the third, with DeShields getting two jumpers 26 sec-

onds apart that gave the Lady Vols a 46-41 lead with 4:09 left. Dayton never got any closer the rest of the way.

“You got to credit her,” Dayton coach Shauna Green said.

“I thought our defense was good, and we contested (those shots) the way we wanted to contest it. She rises up high, Please see REBOUND | 11A

Ole Miss’ streaks end in loss to No. 15 Vanderbilt Ole Miss Sports Information

OXFORD — After going 48 consecutive innings without allowing a run, the No. 14 Ole Miss baseball team saw its streak come to an end Saturday afternoon at Swayze Field.

With the wind blowing out to right field, No. 15 Vanderbilt used its lefty-heavy lineup to hit three home runs and take game two of the conference series, 6-2. The setback also ended a five-game winning streak for the Rebels (13-6, 1-1 SEC).

The Commodores (13-7, 1-1 SEC) scored three runs in the

fourth to end a scoreless streak of 48.0 innings by Rebel pitching. Brady Feigl (2-2) allowed four runs on five hits in 5.1 innings of work as an Ole Miss starter surrendered a run for the first time in 52.2 innings over the past eight games.

Will Golsan went 2-for-4 as the leadoff hitter to pace the Ole Miss bats. Thomas Dillard added a homer for the Rebels, his third of the season.

Left-handed hitters Will Toffey, Stephen Scott and Jeren Kendall accounted for the three Vanderbilt home

runs, all to right field. Righty Patrick Raby (3-2) earned the win, giving up two runs on four hits in 6.0 innings.

Feigl held Vanderbilt without a hit through the first three frames, and Ole Miss scored first with a run in the third.

Kyle Watson walked before advancing into scoring position on a wild pitch. A sacrifice bunt by Cooper Johnson moved his teammate 90 feet away from home. With the infield coming in for a play at the plate, Grae Kessinger hit a chopper right to the second

baseman. As Watson sped towards home, the throw went wide of the plate as both runners were safe. The failed fielder’s choice gave the Rebels a 1-0 lead.

The Commodores countered with three runs to take their first lead of the series and end the scoreless innings streak by Ole Miss pitching.

Following a base hit to start the inning, Vanderbilt belted back-to-back homers courtesy of Toffey and Scott. Despite Please see STREAK | 11A

Dayton: The Flyers entered the tournament among the top teams in the country in shooting defense, but Tennessee was able to use its size, namely the 6-6 Russell and the 6-3 Nunn, to offset the Flyers’ post players. Saicha Grant-Allen averaged 10 points and 8.8 rebounds a game, but the 6-5 center finished with just six points and a season-low one rebound.

Meanwhile, Nunn pulled down 15 boards, while Russell got 10.

Tennessee: The Lady Vols may not be as powerful as they once were, but they’re still hard to beat early in the tournament. With the win Saturday, Tennessee, the only school to make every tournament, is now 29-1 in first round games.

“If I can just get them to act like the tournament’s all year round, I’d be in business,” Warlick said.

and she made plays.”

Dayton started the game miserably. After getting two free throws in the opening 14 seconds to take an early lead, the Flyers made just one of their first 16 shots. That enabled the Lady Vols to take an 18-4 lead after a Schaquilla Nunn layup with 1:33 left in the opening quarter.

But that’s when Tennessee went into a cold streak of its own. The Lady Vols made just 4-of-16 shots in the second quarter. The Flyers went on a 9-2 run midway through the period, with Jordan Wilmoth’s 3-pointer cutting Tennessee’s lead to just 25-22 with 2:21 remaining in the half. They continued chipping away from there, with Lauren Cannatelli’s free throws with 16 seconds left tying the game at 29.

Tennessee coach Holly Warlick said her team has had moments this season where the team has checked out mentally in games. However, that wasn’t the case Saturday.

“I was just pleased with how they played and how they finished the game,” she said. “It’s a product of how we’ve been practicing.”

Dayton again took the lead in the opening seconds of the third quarter, on an Alex Harris layup. However, the Flyers scored just three points

over the last six minutes of the quarter as Tennessee led 51-42 after three.

Russell and Nunn finished with 14 each.

Harris and JaVonna Layfield led the Flyers with 10 points each. Harris also grabbed 14 rebounds.

the rough start to the inning, Feigl remained calm and retired three straight hitters to end the inning.

Another Vanderbilt run in the sixth made it a 4-1 game, but It looked as if Ole Miss would answer in the bottom half of the inning. However, the Rebels ran into some trouble on the base path. With runners on first and second, Tate Blackman singled to left, but Watson was thrown out at home on a dart from the Vanderbilt left fielder. Ryan Olenek tried to slide safely into third, but a good throw by the catcher back to the bag was enough to get him out as well. Raby finished off the inning as the visitors held a three-rush cushion.

Dillard sliced into the lead with a solo blast to right field in the seventh, but Vanderbilt got the run back in the eighth to keep the margin at three. Ole Miss threatened in the bottom half by bringing the tying run to the plate

in Bortles. The senior gave one a ride to the wall in right-center, but it found the glove of JJ Bleday for the third out. It was a tough day for right-handed hitters due to the wind direction, and Bortles felt it all day long by hitting three balls that ended up on the warning track.

Kendall gave Vanderbilt an insurance run in the ninth, sending a homer into the visitors’ bullpen. Moving from the designated hitter spot to the mound, Reed Hayes wrapped up the game by leaving two Rebels on base.

Both teams will attempt to win the SEC opening series tomorrow in the rubber match. The top-15 battle will air live at 3 p.m. on SEC Network, the first nationally televised game of the season for Ole Miss.

Two freshmen will battle it out on the mound as Will Ethridge makes the first weekend start of his young Rebel career, going against Vanderbilt freshman Drake Fellows.

Supercharge your life Are you getting the results you want in life?

Have you attained your goals? Is your timeline working? If you cannot answer yes to these questions, or your progress is too slow, there is something you can do. You can supercharge yourself in order to achieve more than you thought possible.

A supercharged car engine is faster and more powerful than a standard motor. A car containing a supercharged engine has substantially enhanced speed and performance.

When you supercharge yourself your accomplishments grow.

Supercharging yourself involves consciously focusing your attitude, thoughts, and actions in a positive direction. Your attitude, thoughts, and actions determine the direction and success of your life. When you have a burning desire to reach your objective, you have begun the supercharging process.

Positive self-talk is supercharging. Always tell yourself what you can do, and will do. Tell yourself you are willing to do whatever it takes to reach your goals. This strategy programs your mind to work towards success.

There are many people who take the opposite approach by imposing limits on themselves. They create their own barriers, which prevent them from living the life they want.

They tell themselves why they can’t accomplish their objectives. Their self-talk is always negative. This strategy not only impedes progress, it makes success impossible. You cannot and will not accomplish something you believe to be impossible.

Supercharging yourself is dependent on maintaining a positive, Bryan can do atGolden t i t u d e .

This inDare to Live Without Limits cludes the essential elements of drive, discipline, and determination. Drive is the force which gets you moving forward no matter what. Discipline enables you to consistently make progress over the long haul, regardless of how long it takes. Determination enables you to keep going in spite of any problems, obstacles, or challenges you encounter.

Get rid of all excuses.

All that is important is what steps are necessary for success. Reasons to succeed always outweigh excuses for failure. Justifying why something isn’t working gets you nowhere fast.

Use your time wisely.

Have clearly defined goals and remain focused on them. Concentrate on productive behavior, which moves you closer to your objectives. Eliminate unproductive tasks, which accomplish nothing. Don’t waste time, it goes by too fast.

Education is a lifetime pursuit. Learn from past mistakes, don’t lament them. Repeat strategies which work, while eliminating failed behavior.

Learn from other people’s experiences. Simple observation teaches you which approaches are effective and which ones are not. Study other successful people. Learn from what they have accomplished.

Emulate their successful behavior.

Become a great listener.

Listening is essential for learning. Listening gets you lots of valuable information you would otherwise miss. Ask successful people for advice, and listen to their reply.

Be confident in yourself and your abilities.

Ignore critics who tell you all of the reasons you won’t, or can’t succeed.

You do have within you what it takes to achieve your goals. Enthusiasm is a vital component of your supercharging process.

Be solution oriented, rather than problem oriented. There is a solution to every problem.

Your objective is finding it. Supercharged people don’t allow obstacles to stop them. They devote whatever energy it takes to keep moving forward.

Always get back up whenever you fall. If you stay down, you have chosen failure.

Doing what you love to do creates passion. Passion supercharges you.

Passion creates excitement. Passion fuels your drive, discipline, and determination. When you are on a path you are passionate about, you are unstoppable.

Supercharging yourself involves redirecting the energy you are already using in a more effective manner. Using this strategy is proven to generate awesome results. Go ahead and start supercharging yourself today.

Farmer reflects on importance of water

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“Never Curse the Rain: A Farm Boy’s Reflections on Water” by Jerry Apps c.2017, Wisconsin Historical Society Press $22.95 / 145 pages

Y

our eyes are on the forecast.

Depending on what it says, you’ll either approve or scowl. You don’t want your plans ruined but here’s the thing: you know that weather changes and you can’t do anything about it anyhow.

So read the new book “Never Curse the Rain”

by Jerry Apps, and learn to appreciate what comes from the skies.

Growing up on a farm in north central Wisconsin, Jerry Apps remembers the importance of water. One of his first memories of the liquid, in fact, was when his little brother was sick: there was an emergency rite performed and, because he was standing nearby, 4-year-old Apps was conveniently baptized, too.

His father, knowing how essential moisture is to crops and livestock, always admonished Apps and his brothers to “never curse the rain.” He understood, says Apps, that “the farm’s need for water must come before the family’s hopes and wishes.”

There were times when rain didn’t come.

Apps remembers when the windmill didn’t turn and the cows bawled

their thirst.

His father first hauled water from a neighbor’s farm; when that wasn’t enough, he purchased a second-hand gaspowered pump that, with “wheezing and kabooming,” saved the livestock until the wind and rains returned.

Theirs was an otherwise good well, 180 feet down and dug by hand in the late 1800s. The family was lucky; Apps says he knew of farmers who had to relocate their homesteads when wells went bad.

As for indoors, Apps recalls how he and his brothers hauled water from an outdoor pump for indoor use. Saturday was bath day and Monday was wash day, which meant multiple trips with heavy pails. Other days, they carried water for cooking, drinking, and washing-up. Apps says he was grown and gone before his parents had indoor plumbing in the house; the barn had it first.

But water wasn’t

important just on the farm. Apps writes of fishing in local lakes, of visiting the waterpowered mill, camping in the rain, afterchores swimming on hot summer days, and the blessed relief of a night-time thunderstorm.

Do April showers bring May flowers?

They say it’s so. You have a few weeks before you’ll know for sure. In the meantime, might as well read “Never Curse the Rain.”

For the average reader, this book is like the literary version of comfort-food: put it in your hands, and you’ll feel as though you’re wrapped in Grandma’s hand-knitted afghan while sipping tomato soup on a gray day.

Apps will do that to you; he’s a consummate storyteller who can sadden you on one page, tickle your funny bone two pages later, and astound you with facts in between.

His memories evoke a time many readers have only learned about in books.

For those who share the memories, this book is like a handshake from a friend.

There are, therefore, two distinct audiences for “Never Curse the Rain”: 16-to-35year-old readers, and anyone who’s 36-to104. If you fit inside those basic groups, the forecast for this book is sunny.

Our local team is here to lend you our expertise.

Changes to ACA will have effects

BY TRUDY LIEBERMAN Rural Health News Service

Republican efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare are getting lots of media attention.

But like most reporting on major issues, the coverage is about who’s up, who’s down, who wins, and who loses. Explanations of how proposals will affect people will get short shrift.

I’ve heard from readers complaining about Obamacare and from some who praised it. This column will tackle some of those concerns and explain the potential effects of the legislation that has so far been okayed by two Congressional committees.

The bill that may reach the president could be very different in specifics, but the primary goal - to reduce government healthcare spending and encourage more personal responsibility in choosing healthcare arrangements is not likely to change.

Will I continue to receive subsidies? Like Obamacare, Republican proposals call for tax credits to help people buy coverage, but there are significant differences.

Obamacare policies are pegged to income with those at the bottom of the income scale getting larger credits.

Those credits get smaller as income rises and phase out when families and individuals have incomes greater than 400 percent of the federal poverty level. (This year that’s $97,000 for a family of four and $47,000 for individuals.)

The GOP proposal ties credits to age: individuals under 30 would receive a $2,000 credit with the amount gradually rising until someone age 60 and

older can receive a $4,000 credit. The credit phases out for individuals with incomes of $75,000 and for families filing joint returns with income of $150,000.

Each family member can receive a credit, but a maximum of five people in one family can get a credit of up to $14,000. Credits don’t take into account regional differences in medical costs. A credit for a family living in a lowcost area in the Midwest would be the same for a family living in high-cost city like Los Angeles.

Credits also may not be worth as much to older people even though their dollar amount may be greater. Why? Currently insurers can charge an older person three times more than a younger person for the same policy. Under Trumpcare, they can charge five times more.

An analysis just released by the consulting firm Oliver Wyman found that Republican tax credits would have a major impact in rural areas where insurance premiums now are often higher and people are older and poorer. A larger proportion of people may do worse. Jeanne Lambrew, a senior fellow at The Century Foundation, says large premium increases could also cause a disproportionate number of healthy rural Americans to drop coverage potentially causing insurance markets in rural areas to unravel.

Will coverage for pre-existing conditions continue? Proposals still require insurers to cover people no matter how sick they are. But if people let their insurance lapse for 63 days, they will have to pay a 30 percent pen-

alty when they buy a new policy.

Will I have more choice of more insurers? Today consumers in one-third of all U.S. counties have a choice of only one Obamacare insurer, and if they want to use their tax credits, they must buy from the sole insurer. Under GOP plans people may have more choice because they can use their tax credits to buy any policy an insurer wants to sell, but they can’t use them to buy abortion coverage. Under Obamacare the value of the plans is standardized; for example, all silver plans must cover 70 percent of someone’s costs. But such standardization would disappear under the new law making it difficult to shop.

Will I have to pay for benefits I don’t need? The ACA calls for an essential benefit package so insurers could not exclude services like mental health treatment and maternity care. For now the GOP plan continues the essential benefits, but that could change.

What about rising premiums and higher cost sharing? Premiums, deductibles, and other cost sharing will continue to rise because medical inflation continues to rise.

Neither Obamacare nor Republican proposals include serious provisions for containing costs.

Although limits on outof-pocket spending would continue, those limits increase each year, causing families to pay higher and higher amounts out of pocket.

Will you be better or worse off under the Republican plan? Write to Trudy at trudy.lieberman@gmail.com.

Mrs. Moss showed all of the third grade how to cut the plastic bags up and showed them how to crochet them together. The students LOVED getting to be a part of this.

He is well-known for his work ethics in class and sports. “He is a very respectful young man, who understands the importance of being in attendance at school and doing his very best work,” said BHS principal Pete

Seago.

Community service for Hamlin includes volunteering in the Architecture Walk in 2015 and serving as a mentor 2015 to present. He works at Zaxby’s in Corinth.

Hamlin plans to attend Northeast Mississippi Community College to study criminal justice.

After college, he plans to work as a Mississippi state trooper or game warden for the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.

While working in one of these fields, he plans to expand his education in forensic analysis.

MSU launches biomedical engineering degree program STARKVILLE — The Bagley College of Engineering at Mississippi State University has expanded its undergraduate degree offerings to include a new opportunity in biomedical engineering.

The approval made by the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning Board of Trustees will allow Mississippi State students to formally enroll as biomedical engineering majors during the 2017 fall semester. With the introduction of a biomedical engineering degree, the Bagley College of Engineering now offers 12 different undergraduate degree opportunities across eight departments of study.

“The Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering is one of the fastest growing, most diverse departments in our college and also within Mississippi State University,” said Jason Keith, dean of the Bagley College of Engineering.

“The addition of the biomedical engineering degree should lead to even greater student interest, while also aiding with faculty recruiting.”

The inclusion of biomedical engineering (BME) as an undergraduate degree program is not a new concept for MSU engineering faculty or students. In addition to an existing graduate degree in BME, Bagley College’s Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering has also offered a degree in biological engineering with a concentration in biomedical engineering since 2004.

The growing interest and enrollment in biomedical engineering courses made its inclusion as a degree program a natural progression for the MSU engineering program. biomedical engineering programs, was active in preparing the curriculum and the new program proposal to the IHL Board of Trustees.

He has high hopes for how an undergraduate program in biomedical engineering will enhance the Bagley College of Engineering.

“I believe it will have a strong, positive impact (on MSU’s Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering),” said Elder. “The new program has the potential to enhance student recruitment by presenting a clearer career path in regard to pursuing a degree in biomedical engineering, compared to a concentration in BME.” To expand engineering electives, and in anticipation of potential degree opportunities, the BME concentration curriculum was altered in 2015, therefore requiring no additional changes to become an undergraduate degree-granting program.

“Because they are following the exact same curriculum, we expect many students to transfer to the BME major from the concentration and graduate in the spring of 2018,” said Elder.

The growing interest and enrollment in biomedical engineering courses made its inclusion as a degree program a natural progression for the MSU engineering pro-

gram.

Elder also thinks the addition will increase opportunities for students, after they obtain a BME degree from MSU. “I believe an actual degree in biomedical engineering will increase the competitiveness of our students in the job market, and will increase our visibility to the biomedical industry, which may lead to more opportunities for students, such as internships or research partnerships,” Elder said.

Career opportunities look bright for biomedical engineers, as the development of new medical technology pairs with an aging population.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a growth of 23 percent in the employment of biomedical engineers from 2014 to 2024, with potential employment environments ranging from government regulatory agencies and manufacturing facilities to medical, educational and research institutions.

‘Saturday Night Live’ to air live Associated Press

NEW YORK — After 42 seasons, “Saturday Night Live” is trying something new: airing live to everybody.

For the first time, “SNL” will broadcast live simultaneously across the U.S.

for its final four shows of the season, NBC announced Thursday.

Until now, viewers in the Mountain and Pacific time zones have seen the show not as it aired “live from New York,” but on tape delay.

The new live-for-all policy will apply to episodes telecast April 15, May 6, May 13 and May 20.

Each show will air at 11:30 p.m. (Eastern), 10:30 p.m. (Central), 9:30 p.m. (Mountain) and 8:30 p.m. (Pacific). In the

Anniversary

Mountain and Pacific time zones, the show will repeat at 11:30 p.m.

Hosts for these editions will be, respectively, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Pine, Melissa McCarthy and, for the season finale, Dwayne Johnson.

Trio Depeche Mode hopes to inspire more thought

BY MARK KENNEDY AP Entertainment Writer

NEW YORK — Depeche Mode’s new album kicks off with a dire warning that we’re going backward as a society. Things go quickly downhill from there.

“Spirit” then tells us we’ve been lied to and advocates revolution, convicts everyone of treason and urges selfish scum to turn their guns on themselves — and that’s just the first four songs.

“First and foremost, we wanted to make a fun album,” deadpans chief songwriter Martin Gore.

“That was a joke.”

The gloomy British electronic trio resurfaced this month with its first new music in four years and the timing seems impeccable. The dozen new dark songs seem the perfect soundtrack to a world rocked by Brexit and Donald Trump.

“It’s a little bit of a heavy listen,” acknowledges lead singer Dave Gahan. “Look, that’s what we do. It’s about creating these atmospheres with this backdrop of the world we’re living in.”

“Spirit” continues the band’s evolution in alternative-rock under the new guidance of producer James Ford, who has worked with Florence and the Machine and the Arctic Monkeys.

Band member Andy Fletcher said Ford, who also played drums on many of the tracks, managed to “freshen us up a bit.” The songs are drenched in dread, slithering synths and strong hooks, exploring everything from trickle-down economics to heartbreak.

Gore, who had a hand in nine of the tracks, said the album might sound like a reaction to recent politi-

cal and cultural shocks but was actually written in the second half of 2015 and early 2016.

“The world was still in a mess then and it was quite depressing to me. I felt that I couldn’t just ignore it. If I was going to actually write and be honest to myself I had to kind of like face it,” he said.

“I wanted to say that I feel that we’ve lost our way a bit, that mankind has lost its way spiritually. I’m not talking from any denomination here. I just mean in a general sense and by pointing that out, maybe it just gets people to think a bit.”

Depeche Mode will go on the road — their Live Nation-backed, 28-show North American tour starts in Salt Lake City in August — mixing the new songs with their go-to anchors, including “I Feel You” and “Walking In My Shoes.”

Shaquille O’Neal furnishes home of Atlanta girl who survived dog attack Associated Press

ATLANTA — Shaquille O’Neal has bought new furniture for the family of a 5-year-old Atlanta girl who survived a dog attack that left another child dead.

WAGA-TV reports Syari Sanders returned home this week after be-

ing hospitalized since the Jan. 17 attack. Sanders and 6-year-old Logan Braatz were walking to a bus stop when they were attacked by two dogs.

Braatz died from his injuries.

The dogs’ owner has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and

reckless conduct.

O’Neal met Sanders and her family at an Atlanta furniture store and picked up the tab for new items. The family tells WAGA that the former NBA star and current TNT analyst has been involved with the family since the attack.

Dan Stevens breaks out behind the effects

BY LINDSEY BAHR AP Film Writer

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

— When Dan Stevens met his “Beauty and the Beast” co-star Emma Watson in preproduction, she wanted to get to work analyzing the story and the themes.

He just wanted to talk about her U.N. speech about gender inequality.

“It was so impressive and so mighty in its message. I was so blown away by it,” Stevens said recently.

He quickly realized that her ideas actually did apply to the film too.

Between the spoiled Beast, the sleazy Gaston, the gracious Maurice and others, Stevens began to think about just how many different types of masculinity are on display in the film, which opens in theaters Friday.

“Looking at these little elements of the patriarchy that she can smash through on her quest through the movie and the challenges presented to her as a girl, they tally so beautifully with Emma’s project,” Stevens said. “I love storytelling and fairy tale and myth and getting to grips with those fundamental elements is something that I really get a kick out of.”

At 34, Stevens is perhaps still best known for his role as Matthew Crawley on the PBS period series “Downton Abbey,” which he somewhat infamously left five years ago to pursue other things stateside.

In the interim, the Eng-

lish actor has found roles in edgy indies, like the home invasion thriller “The Guest,” and even in campier family fare like “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb” as the overconfident Lancelot.

Now Stevens is on the verge of becoming a household name with a leading role on FX’s edgy comic book series “Legion” and, of course, “Beauty and the Beast” — by far his highest profile role since “Downtown.”

Ironically it’s also one where his face is largely hidden for most of the film.

“It’s still my face driving it,” Stevens said, insisting that his friends and family have said they can definitely tell its him behind the facial capture technology that turns the blonde-hair blueeyed human male into a horned and hairy beast.

Besides, it allowed him to focus on the performance in the eyes — something he studied in Jean Marais’ performance in Jean Cocteau’s 1946 version of “Beauty and the Beast” to prepare.

“It was very important to me to preserve the beast’s soul through the eyes,” Stevens said. “It’s kind of the last human quality that he has shining through.”

As a father to three children with wife and singer Susie Hariet — Willow (7), Aubrey (4), and Eden (10 months) — Stevens has an added interest in balancing hard R-rated genre work with more

family-friendly fare.

“I almost certainly would have said yes to this whether I had kids or not, but it is a big factor and informs some of my choices for sure these days,” the actor said.

He would often bring his kids to the “Beauty and the Beast” set to see him in action.

“I love it when crew members or other cast members bring their kids on,” he said. “It helps you remember why you’re making it and who you’re making it for.”

It also made for some amusing observations from his children.

Stevens’ costume consisted of stilts and a cumbersome grey muscle suit that the visual effects people would eventually use to morph him into the Beast in post-production.

“My daughter said I looked like a hippo,” he said. “It helped with that Beast feeling of feeling monstrous and like he didn’t fit in.”

With four other projects in various stages of post-production, from a role in a historical drama about Thurgood Marshall to the rom-com “Permission” and “Legion’s” renewal for a second season, Stevens is doing what he’s always wanted.

“I’m having a great time just exploring a number of different areas that I never dreamed I’d get to explore,” Stevens said.

“And, hopefully, slipping into some quite unrecognizable roles.”

The Beast isn’t a bad start.

“I try and find songs from some other albums that will relate to what we’re doing now,” said Gahan, who mused that “Everything Counts” would sit nicely with the new tracks.

50th wedding anniversary Danny and Gail McGrath will celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary with a reception from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 25 at Foote Street Church of Christ. The couple requests that no gifts be brought. The attendance of loved ones is enough.
