The Board of Supervisors wants some items fixed at the Alcorn County Justice Center before releasing retainage funds to the contractor. The board agreed that a detailed list of issues should go to the contractor along with a letter from the board attorney before release of remaining retainage of $46,494.49 to Flintco. Warden Doug Mullins advised the board of a number of issues including roof leaks, video cameras not functioning, a hole in the ceiling of the medical room, an issue with some tile, a lighting problem in the courtroom and inaccessible air filters in the HVAC. Mullins reported the state inmate census stands at 299 with another 58 in the work center. The state reimbursement for December was $265,548.46, and the city of Corinth was billed $31,000 for housing inmates. The county needs $223,000 monthly to pay the construction note. In other business this week: ■ Tax Collector Larry Ross presented a revised budget to the board. He withdrew his previous request of a budget increase of $13,720 in order to keep outgoing collector Greg Younger on the payroll for several months to assist in the transition. The revised budget changes some line items but makes no change to the bottom line. Ross said he will use $6,900 out of the budget to keep Younger on staff as long as those funds will cover. Ross said he is maintaining all of the existing staff in the collector’s office. ■ The board reappointed J.C. Hill and Thomas Coleman to the board of directors of the Northeast Mississippi Planning and Development District. For public official slots on the board, supervisors reappointed Jimmy Tate Waldon and appointed Dal Nelms. ■ The board heard a presentation from NaturChem, a business that wants to provide roadside turf growth management.
Corinth board Former House speaker reflects on career schedules four public hearings BY BRANT SAPPINGTON
bsappington@dailycorinthian.com
The Corinth Board of Aldermen this week scheduled public hearings for a new group of properties that are under scrutiny for cleanup. The hearings will coincide with the next regular board meeting at 5 p.m. on Feb. 7. The properties are: ■ The former Bonanza and Green Onion Grill location on U.S. Highway 72 — Code Enforcement Officer Kim Ratliff said the property has a safety hazard with some exterior lights on poles that are in danger of falling. ■ 402 Penn Street — Some cleaning has been done on this property at the corner of Meigg Street and Penn Street but not to the extent that the city desires. With a brick home on the lot, the property is fenced and posted “for sale.” ■ Corner of Fleming Street and Fillmore Street — Ratliff said this overgrown lot is in a high-visibility area. It is near the railroad but is not railroad property.
THRASHER — Almost a third of a century ago, a young man named Billy McCoy was elected to the state legislature with a simple but powerful focus in mind. “I was just not satisfied with what was happening in our part of the state. I felt like many things could be done to improve the situation. We were not even the status quo,” he recalled recently as he relaxed on his farm at Thrasher. The start of the new year brought a close to McCoy’s 32-year career as the representative for Mississippi’s third district, including eight years as speaker of the house — one of the most powerful positions in the state. Along the way McCoy has played a role in some of the most important legislation ever passed in the state, helping to pave the way for better roads, better jobs, better medical care and better lives for the people of Mississippi. He’s seen the state grow beyond its rural roots to one that is now among the most successful in the nation in economic development. McCoy’s district included southern Alcorn County, including the Rienzi

it was something state legislators would be looking at in the future. “We want to listen to the civic leaders and the county leaders, but it’s a work in process,” Carpenter said. “I look forward to working with a united effort for the betterment of the city and the county, and we’ll have to look at this issue and see what happens.” Carpenter represents east Alcorn County and portions of Tishomingo County. He was recently re-elected to a second fouryear term. District 4 Sen. Rita Potts Parks and district 2 Rep. Nick Bain voiced their opposition to the city-only vote. “Current law addresses this issue, and I don’t see the need to develop a new one,” Parks said. “I believe all of Alcorn County can work together to move the district forward.” Parks represents Alcorn County and portions of Tishomingo and Tippah counties in the state senate. She was first elected to the office in November.
Bain said he supports the current law that is in place to give voters the opportunity to bring liquor to Corinth. “I’m not going to be in favor of changing that law or being responsible for bringing liquor to Corinth,” Bain said. “My position is, there’s a law in place — I’m not going to be in favor of changing that law.” The freshman representative from Corinth noted that a city-only liquor vote is a very sensitive issue and potentially divisive for the county and the city. “This issue can divide people faster than anything I know of,” he said. “I can tell you from who I’ve talked to down here with the work we’re doing down here that jobs and industry are far more likely going to come to a place that is unified and together than a place that’s hostile, where there’s a lot of division between the city and county.” Bain represents a large portion of Alcorn County, including Corinth. Tracy Arnold, the representative from district 3, said he has not been con-
tacted or asked to originate legislation for a Corinth liquor vote, but he would take a stance against it — the same as he did when the question of legalizing alcoholic beverages was raised in his native Prentiss County. “We fought that battle in Prentiss County and the City of Booneville many times, and being a pastor I’m not interested in it at all,” he said. “In the past I’ve stood boldly against the alcohol agenda in Prentiss County and the City of Booneville.” Arnold’s district includes southern Alcorn County and a large portion of Prentiss County. If the effort to attain legislative approval was successful, it would give Corinth an exception to the requirement for a countywide vote on the sale of liquor. Corinth was a wet county for 21 years until 1989, when Alcorn County voters ended liquor sales and, in a city election, Corinth voters said “yes” to beer sales. Referendums on the sale of liquor in 1993 and 2005 failed to pass.

the support of the community,” said Hurst. “A lot of families have been helped through the proceeds of the store.” All money made through the thrift store goes back into the community, funding such Lighthouse projects as the Toy Store, after school tutoring and summer camps. “We put out new items daily and have specials every Wednesday,” added Hurst. An array of items are available at the store situated in the former home of Spice of Life.
Shoppers can find clothing, glassware, furniture, jewelry, shoes, accessories, books and bedding at the store. “Everything from A to Z,” said the store manager. “Not only do we carry a large quantity, but the quality is amazing.” Hurst and assistant manager Willie Key are two of the four employees of the store. Volunteers have also played a big part in the store success. “They have been unreal,” said Hurst of the many volunteers. “Churches and youth groups as well as individuals have all played a
part.” Those wanting to donate to the thrift store can do so by dropping them off at the store during working hours or by putting them in the store’s drop box out front. The store can also come and pick up larger items such as furniture and appliances. “This is helping so many and it also allows me to do what I love,” said Hurst. (The Lighthouse Family Thrift Store is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. The store is closed Sunday and Monday.

area, and most of Prentiss County. William Tracy Arnold was elected to the seat in November and has begun his first term. “We have spent a third of a century working together,” he said. “It’s taken a long time, but Mississippi now competes with any state or any nation in the world,” he said. McCoy’s departure from the capitol marks a rare moment in the state’s history where a member of his family has not been serving in the legislature. For 60 of the past 80 years, someone in his family has held the position of lawmaker including his uncle, Rep. George Denson and his cousin, Charlie McCoy who served in both the Mississippi House and Senate. McCoy’s father, Elmer McCoy held the district 3 seat in the house from 1936 until 1953. He fondly recalls childhood visits to Jackson, riding the train to the capitol and staying in the boarding house across the street. Even after his father’s departure from the legislature, he remained involved in state government working with the state audit department and later as a charter member of the Public Employee Retirement System board and he would often take young Billy with him to Jackson on his travels. “I’ve been in the room with every governor since (Fielding L.) Wright in 1947,” he said. McCoy began his career as an agriculture teacher, he then went on to work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a loan
officer and spent 12 years as an auditor for the state audit department. In 1967, he and his wife, Edith, bought their farm at Thrasher where they raised cotton by hand and grew their own food. “We raised every bite of food we ate. I worked like a dog just trying to scratch out a living,” he said. In 1980 he ran for and was elected state representative. When he first got to Jackson his singleminded determination to make a difference in the state often left him frustrated as he learned the reality of making progress through the legislative process. “I left just madder than a devil every Friday. I felt like I was a failure,” he said. “I’m a fence builder. I’m used to starting something and getting it done and I was impatient with the process. It’s a long and painful process.” Over time he would learn the system and learn how to put his intense focus and determination to use. “God didn’t make me pretty or smart or sexy or none of that, but he made me tough so I just get in there and hang in there until I get it done,” he said. Looking back on his career, McCoy is quick to focus on the big successes. He played a key role in the 1987 highway program that established a network of quality fourlane highways across the state including throughout Northeast Mississippi that has served as a major engine for economic development in the state for the past two decades. He said the vision for the act started with the
“The good outweighs the bad as I look back on all this experience. It’s been a good ride. I’ve had a wonderful life and wonderful family.” Billy McCoy Former state legislator idea of just adding a couple of main roads and it grew over time into a major statewide project. “It was just a mighty act and we devoted so much time to it. It was the cando spirit that got this state moving. We said we can do it,” he recalled. Another key infrastructure program is the stateaid program for rural bridges which spends approximately $20 million annually on upkeep and replacement of bridges throughout the state. “It would have bankrupted the counties to replace all these old bridges,” he said. McCoy also points to successful programs to provide firetrucks to volunteer fire departments, restore courthouse and school buildings throughout the state including in Alcorn and Prentiss counties, bring in industry, preserve the state’s civil war battlefields, rebuild the fire damage Thrasher school, obtain grant funding for buildings and infrastructure improvements in small municipalities throughout the area and other key projects. He said he’s proud of efforts to keep existing industry and bring in new jobs. One of his proudest accomplishments is efforts to improve the mental health program in the

just like my daddy would. It was pretty special,” he said. McCoy said he and others in the legislature have worked hard over the past few years to make sure the lessons learned after Katrina have not been forgotten. They’ve helped establish a statewide emergency communication system capable of operating in the aftermath of a major disaster and providing key lines of communication for responders to get the help they need to the people affected. The longtime legislator said he has no regrets as he settles in back home at his farm and prepares to spend time with his friends and family. “The good outweighs the bad as I look back on all this experience. It’s been a good ride. I’ve had a wonderful life and wonderful family,” he said. McCoy said the center of that family through all these years has been his wife of 48 years, Edith, who has stood by him and supported him in all he’s done. “You cannot do what I’ve done and be successful, you can’t be gone for a third of century and having to face what we face as politicians without tremendous family support. So many people have lost their families when they go down there. I’ve seen many families broken up because of that lifestyle,” he said. McCoy said he couldn’t have done it without his strongest supporter. “She’s my biggest political ally. She’s such a kind person but she will literally cuss somebody out for attacking me,” he said.

state including the establishment of the Crisis Intervention Center in Corinth and group homes throughout the state for mentally challenged adults. “When I went to the legislature, the mental health program in this state was a shame. Now we’ve got one of the finest mental health systems in the country,” he said. He’s also very proud of work to improve the Booneville/Baldwyn airport. The recent completion of the Highway 30 bypass around Booneville is also a key success story and one that did not come without a lot of hard work by many people throughout the area. “I’m very proud of the Highway 30 bypass. I worked for 12 years on that, me and lots of other people too, and I had to be mean about it,” he said. While McCoy’s role in headline making projects and programs may be his most visible legacy, he’s proudest of the opportunities he’s had to directly help individuals and families in his district. Whether it was making sure someone in need received their disability payments, helping a deserving individual get a job or a college scholarship, or countless other areas of service, McCoy has kept his focus on be-
ing a truly local representative. “I’ve answered over 5,000 requests from individuals. This is not the big stuff, but it’s big to them and if it’s big to them it’s big to me. I’ve been a personal representative for the people,” he said. McCoy has also seen the state through numerous natural disasters, including the devastation left behind by hurricane Katrina and the more recent powerful floods and tornadoes that have swept the state. He said his method in the wake of disasters has always been to work quietly behind the scenes to make sure those responding have what they need. “I tried not to make any kind of publicity stunt. I just go in very quietly with my members and see what’s happened and see if I can help in some way,” he said. He recalled in 2005 heading to Jackson to begin helping with the Katrina aftermath almost before the wind died down. Three days after the storm he flew to the coast with Governor Barbour and the first lady. “There’s no way to describe what that looked like. It was 85 miles of nothing. Just total devastation for 85 miles,” he said. During the trip he met with President George W. Bush who pledged to help the state recover. “I thanked him for coming to our state. He said, ‘Mr. Speaker, it’s my state too and I’m going to do anything within my power and might to make a difference for this country.’ When he got ready to leave he hugged my neck

Microgardens can stop winter blues Winter can be hard on avid gardeners because cold temperatures prohibit many gardening activities. They may become bored, restless and perhaps even show irritation at the slightest annoyance. These are classic symptoms of gardening cabin fever. For the active gardener, it only gets worse when all those catalogs start arriving. A simple cure is to bring the garden indoors until spring arrives. Many of those incoming catalogs offer indoor gardening options that border on the extravagant, with fancy grow lights, recirculating pumps and special growing pods. But an indoor garden can be as simple as some fresh microgreens on the windowsill in a pot. In fact, having a microgreens garden in the winter is the perfect way to satisfy the need to garden and to have delicious and nutritious salads at the same time. Microgreens are colorful and take as few as seven days to produce a wonderful addition to the dinner table. Asian greens such as bok choi, cole crops such as cabbage or broccoli, or foliage of carrots, radish, Swiss chard or beets are often used. Herbs like basil -- the lemon or lime basil selections work quite well indoors -- cilantro and parsley can be grown indoors. Lettuce is not a good choice, as the plants tend to stretch too much when grown indoors. Growing microgreens is
easy and requires only a small space on a windowsill or under a light. Any Gary size conBachman tainer will do. Small Southern containers Gardening will provide enough to spice up a single dinner or salad. If you use bedding plant flats, you can grow enough to supply fresh microgreens throughout the week. Always grow your microgreens in a good potting mix marketed to be used in containers. Thickly sprinkle seeds of your favorite greens on the surface of the moistened growing mix. Because the plants are small and you will harvest them after only a short period of time, overcrowding will not be a problem. You actually want your container to be thick and lush with the growing microgreens. Gently tap the seeds into the soil and cover. A large zip-top bag covers containers well, while a plastic dome is ideal if you are using a bedding plant flat. The seeds will start to germinate after a couple of days, and most greens will be ready to start harvesting after seven days. Some microgreens, such as beets or basil, take 21 days before they are ready to harvest. Sow seeds weekly to ensure a steady supply of micro-
Deaths Mary Porter
Funeral services for Mary A. Hardin Porter, 85, are set for 1 p.m. today at McPeters Funeral Home Chapel. A graveside service follows at 1 p.m. Saturday at Woodlawn Cemetery in Columbia. Mrs. Porter died Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012, at Magnolia Regional Health Center. She was a retired restaurant manager for Hardees and a member of Wheeler Grove Baptist Church. Survivors include a nephew, Rodney L. Hardin of Corinth; a brother, James Hardin (Dixie) of Corinth; and two great-nephews, Phillip and Andrew Hardin. She was preceded in death by her husband, Harry Gene Porter, and her parents, Filmore Baxter and Lula Hardin. Bro. Joe Loncar will officiate. Visitation was Thursday. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Mike Rogers
A memorial service for Michael Lamar “Mike� Rogers, 55, of Corinth, is set for 2 p.m. today at McPeters Funeral Directors Chapel. Mr. Rogers died Thursday, Jan. 12, 2012, in Corinth. He was a former employee of Brown Shoe Company, Cortelco of Corinth for 17 years, Rogers and Shoney’s restaurant. Survivors include his mother, Joann Dickey Rogers of Corinth, and a brother, Joel White (Alecia) of Cullman, Ala. Bro. Wayne Isbell will officiate the service. Memorial contributions may be made to a charity of choice.
Growing microgreens indoors requires only a small container and a light source. These Red Choi are growing in bedding plant trays. greens and keep you free of cabin fever. The best way to water your microgreens is to place the container in a saucer, add water to the saucer and let plants soak up water from the bottom. Because the plants are small, sprinkling from the top will beat them down. If you plan to grow more than just a few containers over the winter, consider ordering
your seed in bulk quantities to save money. However, buying individual packets from the garden center is a great way to try a variety of microgreens. So if you are exhibiting any of the symptoms of gardening cabin fever, try growing some of these fresh microgreens indoors. Not only will you scratch that gardening itch, but you’ll have some tasty salads this winter, too.
Legendary bluesmen memorabilia find permanent home Special to the Daily Corinthian
OXFORD — The rare and valuable memorabilia of two legendary bluesmen have found a home in the Blues Archive at the University of Mississippi, thanks to two patrons who donated the materials. Thousands of items once owned by singersongwriters Percy Mayfield and Lowell Fulson were donated by Mick and Molli Kolassa to the archive housed in UM’s J.D. Williams Library. The collection includes a variety of items, including handwritten lyrics penned by Mayfield, photographs of the various musicians and family members, correspondence, contracts and much more. “To have the memorabilia of these two blues legends in the Blues Archive is really an honor,� said Kolassa, founder and chairman of Medical Marketing Economics LLC. “It was the last
wish of Tina Mayfield, who was married to Mayfield and romantically involved with Fulson before she died, for these items to be permanently located here. I’m pleased that I was able to fulfill her desire and add yet another outstanding collection to the archives’ world-renowned repository.� Among Mayfield’s best known songs are “Hit the Road, Jack,� which was recorded and made popular by Ray Charles, and “Sugar Mama/Peachy Papa.� Fulson’s major hits include “Reconsider, Baby,� which was covered by Elvis Presley and Eric Clapton. “Percy Mayfield was known as the ‘poet laureate of the blues,’� said Gregory Johnson, UM blues curator and associate professor. “The handwritten lyrics are interesting because some of them were written on whatever he happened to have available when

an idea struck him. One is written on an airplane ticket envelope; another is on hotel stationary. “ “Lowell Fulson was one of the most well-known West Coast blues musicians. One of B.B. King’s first big hits was a cover of Fulson’s song ‘Three O’Clock Blues.’� Tina Mayfield donated a collection of materials related to Percy Mayfield in the 1980s. She discussed donating the remainder of both materials also, but passed before she had the opportunity to do so. “Someone else purchased Tina Mayfield’s estate,� Kolassa said. “At the urging of Michael Upton (UM Foundation development officer), I bought it from him and gave it to the archive.� “This collection really helps round this existing collection out,� Johnson said. “The Blues Archive is always seeking out new collections to help us maintain a thorough re-
source for blues scholars around the world.� Born in northwestern Louisiana, Mayfield began his performing career in Texas and then moved to Los Angeles. In 1947, a small record label, Swing Time, signed him to record “Two Years of Torture.� The song sold steadily over the next few years, prompting Art Rupe to sign Mayfield to his Specialty Records label in 1950. Although his vocal style was influenced by such stylists as Charles Brown, Mayfield did not focus on the white market as did many West Coast bluesmen. Rather, he sang blues ballads, mostly his own songs, in a gentle vocal style. His most famous recording, “Please Send Me Someone to Love,� a No. 1 R&B hit single in 1950, was widely influential and recorded by many other singers. A 1952 auto accident left him seriously injured, including a fa-

Born on a Choctaw reservation in Oklahoma, Fulson moved to California, forming a band that soon included a young Charles and tenor saxophone player Stanley Turrentine. He recorded
for Swing Time Records in the 1940s, Chess Records (on the Checker label) in the 1950s, Kent Records in the 1960s and Rounder Records (Bullseye) in the 1970s. His most memorable and influential recordings included “Three O’Clock Blues� (now a blues standard), the Memphis Slimpenned “Everyday I Have the Blues,� “Lonesome Christmas,� “Reconsider Baby� (recorded in 1960 by Presley and in 1994 by Clapton) and “Tramp� (co-written with Jimmy McCracklin and later covered by Otis Redding with Carla Thomas, ZZ Top, Alex Chilton and Tav Falco). Fulson died in Long Beach in March 1999 at age 77. (For more information about UM’s Blues Archive, go to http://www. olemiss.edu/depts/general_library/archives/ blues/ or call 662-9157753.)

Senate bills revisit familiar themes Already a number of bills have been introduced in the state Senate, which is off to a faster start this legislation session than the House. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves knew since the November general election that he would be able to appoint Senate committees and chairmen, and he did it expeditiously. It’s understandable that the House is a little behind on getting organized. Although it was an almost foregone conclusion that Philip Gunn, the Clinton Republican, would be elected speaker, it still wasn’t a done deal until the Legislature convened in January. So Gunn, to his credit, wasn’t presumptuous enough to go about announcing committees before he was elected speaker. Some of the Senate bills already in the hopper revisit familiar Republican themes that may get more traction this year since they also control the House. These include curbing the attorney general’s authority to contract with private lawyers and initiating new state laws dealing with illegal immigration. There also are bills putting further restrictions on abortions. And lawmakers in both parties and both branches of the Legislature are likely to introduce legislation dealing with the governor’s right to pardon and suspend sentences. It’s difficult to predict this early what will pass the Legislature before the session is over. But here’s a prediction on a couple of Senate bills that won’t pass: One would reduce the size of the Mississippi Senate from 52 to 40 and cut legislative pay. Another would reduce the state House of Representatives from 122 members to 70 and the Senate from 52 to 30. Not only will those two bills — which actually make sense — not pass, they won’t even be seriously discussed. Enterprise-Journal, McComb

when she tried to get her job back at the church’s school in Redford, Mich., following a medical leave. When the school refused to dismiss Perich’s temporary replacement and rehire her, she filed an employment discrimination claim, which violated Lutheran doctrine that says, “disputes over ministry should be resolved (internally) ... and not by civil courts.” The Supreme Court did not rule on whether Perich was wrongfully terminated, but instead on whether she had the right to sue at all for employment discrimination. In ruling, the Court upheld what is known as a “ministerial exception,” which allows religious bodies to make their own personnel rules in order to promote their religious beliefs without government interference. The Obama administration had argued the church enjoys no special protection under antidiscrimination laws. In its unanimous ruling, the Court rejected that argument as “untenable.” It will be interesting to see if the “ministerial exception” can be extended to the Obama healthcare law in the event it withstands constitutional challenge. A decision is expected this
spring. The Health and Human Services Department, under the pro-choice Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, is trying to require that health insurance policies include contraceptive and abortion services. Churches will supposedly be exempt from this requirement, but other religious organizations like universities and hospitals will not be. As Matthew J. Franck wrote last week in the Catholic scholarly publication First Things, “The only “religious exception” offered so far by the Department of Health and Human Services to its contraceptive coverage mandate is an exemption so narrow, for religious organizations that employ and serve only their own coreligionists, that even the ministry of Jesus would not qualify.” There is the potential for further advancement on life and education issues if the Republican presidential candidates talk of informed choice when it comes to abortion and education for children fortunate enough to have been born. That is, if they are smart enough to do so. Readers may e-mail Cal Thomas at tmseditors@tribune.com.

Concordia apparently made sure the age of chivalry was good and dead by pushing it over and trampling on it in their heedless rush for the exits. The grounded cruise ship has its heroes, of course, just as the Titanic had its cowards. But the discipline of the Titanic’s crew and the self-enforced chivalric ethic that prevailed among its men largely trumped the natural urge toward panicked self-preservation. Women and children went first, and once the urgency of the situation became clear, breaches weren’t tolerated. The crew fired warning shots to keep men from rushing the lifeboats. In an instance Daniel Allen Butler recounts in his book, “Unsinkable,” a male passenger trying to make it on one lifeboat was rebuffed and then beaten for his offense. The survivor statistics tell the tale. More women from third class — deep in the bowels of the ship, where it was hard to escape and instructions were vague or nonexistent — survived than men from first class. Almost all of the women from first class (97 percent) and second class (84 percent) made it.

As Butler notes, the men from first class who were lost stayed behind voluntarily, true to their Edwardian ideals. They can look faintly ridiculous from our vantage point. Benjamin Guggenheim changed into his evening clothes that night: “We’ve dressed in our best and are prepared to go down like gentlemen.” Who would you rather have around your wife or daughter, though, when there is only one slot left on the lifeboat? Old Guggenheim in his white tie and tails, or the contemporary slob in his Bermuda shorts and flipflops? The Titanic went down, they say, to the strains of the hymn “Nearer, My God, to Thee” as the band courageously played on. It lent a final grace note to the tragedy. Today, we don’t do grace notes. We’ve gone from “Women and children, first,” to “Dude, where’s my lifeboat?” As the women of the Costa Concordia can testify, that’s a long way down. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

State Mississippi economy ‘feeble’ but slowly recovers BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi’s economy is slowly recovering but remains “feeble,” an expert told lawmakers Thursday. House and Senate leaders said they’ll keep that in mind as they write a budget over the coming months. State economist Darrin Webb said Mississippi ended 2011 on a strong note, with 3.4 percent growth in the final quarter. That was the strongest three-month period since the second quarter of 2010. “We’ve seen gains in employment the past three months, but as you
can see the recovery has really been pretty feeble,” Webb said during an economic briefing at the Capitol. Webb said he expects slow economic growth in 2012. He also said he expects the state to meet its anticipated level of revenue collections for the fiscal year that ends June 30. State Treasurer Lynn Fitch, who also spoke during the briefing, said Mississippi maintains a strong bond rating and is well below is constitutional debt limit — two positive bits of news. “We’ve been very good at paying our debt,” Fitch said. However, she said the
state ranks higher than she’d like on two measures. In both measures, Fitch said it’s best to be ranked 50th and worst to be first. ■ Mississippi is 16th in the amount of tax-supported debt per capita. In 2010, the most recent year available, Mississippi had $1,534 in debt per person compared to the U.S. median state debt of $1,066 per person. ■ Mississippi is 14th in tax-supported state debt as a percentage of personal income. In 2010, Mississippi’s level was 5.1 percent, while the U.S. median level was 2.8 percent. Webb told lawmakers that Mississippi began to
lose manufacturing jobs starting around 1994, after enactment of the North American Free Trade Agreement. The manufacturing job losses in the late 1990s were offset by growth in casinos that were new to the state. “Throughout entire decade through the 2000s, the economy really struggled,” Webb said. “We think this has to do with our lower human capital. We have less educated people than other states, we have less healthy people than other states, we have a very high rate of unwed motherhood. We think all that plays a role in this.” He said employment in
Mississippi peaked in May 2000, declined through June 2004 and then improved modestly until February 2008. After that, Mississippi steadily lost jobs until February 2010; at that point, there were 76,800 fewer jobs in the state than there had been in February 2008. Job growth has been slow since then. In November 2011, there were 55,400 fewer jobs than there had been in February 2008. Webb said it could be 2014 before Mississippi returns to a pre-recession level of annual economic growth. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and House Speaker Philip Gunn, both Republicans
and both new in their leadership jobs this year, said that because of the sluggish economy, lawmakers need to be cautious while writing a budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. They face a May 1 deadline. “The budget negotiations this year are going to be very difficult, as we’re going to be dealing with significantly less money this year than we had last year, and that’s a trend that’s certainly occurred over the last several years, and it looks like it’s going to continue,” said Reeves, who presides over the Senate. Gunn said House budget writers are going to be “very frugal.”
Officials crack down on cellphone usage in prisons Associated Press
JACKSON — Beginning in February, Mississippi inmates caught with cellphones will lose all privileges. Also, they won’t be allowed to purchase items from the commissary, the prison store and they won’t be allowed to use the regular prison phone. Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps told the Clarion-Ledger that loss of six months’ trusty time already is among the penalties. Epps said “Zero Privilege Units” will be located at each of the state’s three prisons — Parchman, Greene County and
Rankin County. “We realize we have a problem and we are doing something about it,” Department of Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps said. “This will send a strong message.” MDOC’s confiscation of at least 3,400 cellphones from inmates and Facebook pages created using smartphones from behind prison walls are behind the increased discipline, despite best efforts to keep cellphones out. Cellphones are “the biggest contraband items that we have,” said Epps. “It’s a national problem in corrections,” he said. Epps said over the
past two years, at least two inmates were updating their Facebook pages from behind prison walls in Mississippi using smartphone technology on cellphones smuggled into them. Last year, MDOC had 70 Facebook pages deactivated. In October, MDOC officials contacted Facebook’s corporate office and asked that the account of convicted murderer Jonathan Davis be deactivated. Until that point, Davis, 27, had been on the page and updating it since he arrived at the State Penitentiary at Parchman in
2004. Davis was convicted of 2002 capital murder in Lauderdale County. In November 2010, MDOC officials also had another convicted killer’s Facebook page deactivated. William Joseph Hogan, 30, had been corresponding on his Facebook page since he was sent to prison in 2009. Hogan was convicted of the 2008 murder of his wife in DeSoto County. Family members of the victim alerted prison officials to Hogan’s Facebook page. Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes has said the social networking site
will work with law enforcement and other officials to shut down inmate Facebook pages. In August 2010, MDOC launched the first cellphone detection/management system in the nation at Parchman. The managed access system intercepts all incoming and outgoing cellphone signals and allows prison authorities to manage calls that are not allowed and those that are allowed by pre-entering the allowed cellphone numbers in the system. Since its installation, the system has blocked about 1.8 million illegal cellphone calls and text
message, Epps said. The system recently was upgraded to manage 3G technology, and a fulltime managed access technician has been hired to maintain and monitor it.

Obama, GOP reviving tussle over oil pipeline BY MATTHEW DALY Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and Congress are back where they were before Christmas, locked in an election-season tussle over a proposed 1,700-mile oil pipeline from Canada to Texas. Republicans hope to again force Obama to make a politically risky decision, while he is seeking to put it off until after the November election. Obama blocked the $7 billion Keystone XL pipeline on Wednesday, at least temporarily, but Republicans immediately signaled their intention to try again to force the issue. Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said he will call Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who recommended Obama’s rejection, to testify at a hearing as early as next Wednesday, the day after Obama gives his State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress. “This is not the end of the fight. Republicans in Congress will continue to push this because it’s good for our country and it’s good for our economy and it’s good for the American people,” especially those who are out of work, said House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio. Republicans are looking to drive a wedge between
“This is not the end of the fight. Republicans in Congress will continue to push this because it’s good for our country and it’s good for our economy and it’s good for the American people.” John Boehner House Speaker just that Wednesday, generating intense reaction from all sides. “This announcement is not a judgment on the merits of the pipeline, but the arbitrary nature of a deadline that prevented the State Department from gathering the information necessary to approve the project and protect the American people,” Obama said in a written statement. “I’m disappointed that Republicans in Congress forced this decision.” Newt Gingrich, campaigning for the GOP presidential nomination in South Carolina, called Obama’s decision “stunningly stupid,” adding, “What Obama has done is kill jobs, weaken American security and drive Canada into the arms of China out of just sheer stupidity.” Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney said the decision was “as shocking as it is revealing. It shows a president who once again has put politics ahead of sound policy.”
Obama and two key Democratic constituencies. Some labor unions support the pipeline as a job creator, while environmentalists fear it could lead to an oil spill disaster. The plan by Calgarybased TransCanada Corp. would carry tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada, through a 1,700-mile pipeline across six U.S. states to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast. Obama was already on record as saying no, for now, until his administration could review an alternate route that avoided environmentally sensitive areas of Nebraska — a route that still has not been proposed. But in an unrelated tax deal he cut with congressional Republicans, Obama had been boxed into making a decision by Feb. 21. The deal required that the project would go forward unless Obama declared by that date that it was not in the national interest. The president did
Miss America confronted family pain with pageant BY OSKAR GARCIA Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — The nation’s newest Miss America is a 23-year-old Wisconsin brunette who had long conversations with her family mulling whether or not to make her father’s jail time for mail fraud the heart of her campaign in the beauty pageant. While her competitors pushed platforms including promoting the health benefits of milk and protecting the environment, Laura Kaeppeler said she wants children of incarcerated adults to feel less alone, to have mentoring and as much of a relationship with their parents as possible.
“There are many of you out there — and I was one of them — but it doesn’t have to define you,” Kaeppeler told The Associated Press after winning the crown and $50,000 scholarship on Saturday night. To win, she said beauty queens and politicians should remember they represent all Americans, sang an opera song and strutted in a white bikini and black evening gown. Her looks, smarts and personal vocation impressed a panel of seven celebrity judges enough to give her the next year with the title. “What happened with my father is not what my year is going to be focused
on,” she said. “It’s going to be focused on looking forward and moving to the future because that’s what my family has done and that’s what I’ll encourage others to do, as well.” Kaeppeler estimated that there are more than 2 million children with a parent in jail. Kaeppeler’s father, Jeff Kaeppeler, told the AP he served 18 months in federal prison for mail fraud, a sentence his daughter said started as she was graduating high school and entering college. Jeff Kaeppeler said when his daughter approached the family about making the personal topic
her chosen platform, they supported it even though they knew it would be discussed publicly. “It taught us that God can turn anything into good if you let him,” he said. “Laura is totally on board with that idea. She let that drive her and inspire her this past year to get ready for this. “We’ve seen a miracle,” he said while waiting backstage for a news conference in which his daughter called him her “best friend” and briefly took pictures with him onstage. “I love you,” he whispered to her as dozens of cameras snapped photos.

“There are many of you out there — and I was one of them — but it doesn’t have to define you.” Laura Kaeppler Miss America le. Her bid lasted through swimsuit, evening wear, talent and interview competitions that saw cuts after each round. She was asked minutes before being crowned whether Miss America should declare her politics. “Miss America represents everyone, so I think the message to political candidates is that they represent everyone as well,” she said. “And so in these economic times, we need to be looking forward to what America needs, and I think Miss America needs to represent all.”
Thompson came in second, while Miss New York Kaitlyn Monte placed third. Kaeppler introduced herself to pageant viewers by referencing her home state’s Green Bay Packers, the NFL’s defending Super Bowl champions. “If you’re watching, Aaron Rodgers, call me,” she said, referring to the football team’s superstar quarterback. She was good enough during preliminary competitions to be chosen as one of 15 semifinalists who moved on to compete in the pageant’s fina-

General Electric’s fourth-quarter earnings will give a snapshot of two big sectors of the world economy: manufacturing and lending. Manufacturing readings have been stronger the past few months. And banks have been reporting that they made more loans the last three months of the year. Financial analysts expect a modest rise in GE’s earnings. If the company beats the forecasts, that could give stocks another kick higher.

Key meetings in Europe Investors have been buying stocks this year on optimism that Europe will resolve its debt problems. We’ll see if that progress continues when officials of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund arrive in Greece to negotiate terms for a second bailout of the country. The officials will also check on how Greece is doing with its pledge to cut its budget deficit.

SALT LAKE CITY — Sarah Burke was an X Games star with a grass-roots mentality — a daredevil superpipe skier who understood the risks inherent to her sport and the debt she owed to it for her success on the slopes. The pioneering Canadian freestyler, who helped get superpipe accepted into the Olympics, died Thursday after a Jan. 10 crash during a training run in Park City, Utah. Burke, who lived near
Whistler, in British Columbia, was 29. “Sarah was the one who, in a very positive way, stood in the face of adversity and asked, ‘Why not?”’ said Peter Judge, the CEO of Canada’s freestyle team. “What she would have wanted was for her teammates and others in her sport to stand up and also say, ‘Why not?’ To benefit from the significant opportunities available to them, being able to compete in the Olympics and the X Games. Those were the things she
wanted and cherished and fought for.” A four-time Winter X Games champion, Burke crashed on the same halfpipe where snowboarder Kevin Pearce sustained a traumatic brain injury during a training accident on Dec. 31, 2009. Tests revealed she sustained “irreversible damage to her brain due to lack of oxygen and blood after cardiac arrest,” according to a statement released by her publicist, Nicole Wool, on behalf of the family.
She said Burke’s organs and tissues were donated, as the skier had requested before the accident. “The family expresses their heartfelt gratitude for the international outpouring of support they have received from all the people Sarah touched,” the statement said. Judge said the accident did not come on a risky trick, but rather, a simple 540-degree jump that Burke usually landed routinely. Please see BURKE | 9A

BOONEVILLE — One Alcorn Countian and four others from the region were among the signees announced by Northeast Mississippi Community College softball coach Jody Long on Thursday. Northeast inked eight total players for the 2013 season. A signing ceremony was held Wednesday in the Black and Gold Room in the Haney Union on the Northeast campus. “It is a great class,” Long said. “We lose 12 sopho-
mores off our 2012 squad so we are very excited about signing eight today.” The majority of the class, six of the eight, came from within Northeast’s five-county district — Alcorn, Prentiss, Tishomingo, Tippah and Union counties. In addition to signing six in-district athletes, the veteran Lady Tiger mentor was able to sign Haleigh Moffett out of West Lauderdale and Trenisha King from Colbert Heights, Ala. Kossuth’s Dana Glissen was the lone Alcorn County signee. During the 2011 cam-
paign the outfielder hit .381 (24-of-63), helping Steve Lyles’ Lady Aggies to a 16-6 mark and a 9-1 record in Division Glissen 1-3A, which earned the team a playoff berth. During her junior campaign, Glissen scored 14 runs while driving in 16 more and banged out four two-base hits.
Other signees from the region included Booneville catcher Emily Horn, Walnut outfielder Becky Robinson, catcher Gracie Michael of Wheeler, and pitcher/ infielder Dannah Glover of Tishomingo County. The other in-district signee was Myrtle utility player Kiana Judon. “I know it was a lot of work for everyone involved,” Long said. “However, to have a large group like we had today with former, current and future players along with parPlease see SOFTBALL | 9A
Manning returns to practice after 1-day bug Associated Press
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tough luck, Frisco fans. Eli Manning’s tummy is just fine. The New York Giants quarterback was back at practice Thursday after missing part of the previous day’s workout with “a stomach bug.” “I’m 100 percent,” Manning said after practicing for Sunday’s NFC title game against the 49ers in San Francisco. “I had a full practice today, did everything, took every rep. I feel good.” Manning felt sick after waking up Wednesday. He “toughed it out” and attended team meetings and took part in the walk-through portions of practice before
letting backup David Carr handle the live snaps. “It wasn’t going well so I tried to be smart,” said Manning, who received intravenous fluids after leaving practice Wednesday. “It was Manning fortunate it happened on a Wednesday and not later in the week.” Manning texted coach Tom Coughlin late Wednesday evening and told him he was feeling better. “When he got to work today, he had a nice break-
fast and seemed to do fine,” Coughlin said. “He is not quite himself, but almost.” There was almost no chance Manning would miss the game because of a stomach virus. After all, his streak of 128 straight starts, including playoffs, is tops in the NFL. A shoulder injury in 2007 didn’t sideline him and a foot injury two years later couldn’t keep him off the field. Manning took over as the active leader in consecutive quarterback starts at the beginning of the season when his brother, Peyton, was sidelined after neck surgery. Manning downplayed his illness and the fuss it created.
It marked the first time this season that he was listed on the team’s injury report. “I didn’t watch too much TV so I didn’t see the attention it was getting,” he said. “You know, when you get into big games like this any little thing that pops up people make a big deal about. We can put it behind us now and focus on the game.” Kevin Gilbride said that Manning took great offense when the offensive coordinator told him he looked pale before practice Thursday. Manning shot back that’s the way he always looks in the winter. Tackle David Diehl said there has been a little bug going around.

Ole Miss ends five-game skid vs. No. 18 Bulldogs Associated Press
OXFORD, Miss. — Mississippi State’s won a lot of games and built quite a resume so far this season. One of the few blemishes is the lack of a Southeastern Conference road victory. The 18th-ranked Bulldogs came up empty once again Wednesday night, losing 7568 to rival Mississippi at Tad Smith Coliseum. Mississippi’s Reginald
Buckner scored a career-high 19 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in a surprising offensive display as the Rebels snapped a five-game losing streak to the Bulldogs. “It just comes down to toughness,” Mississippi State’s Rodney Hood said. “We haven’t been playing our type of basketball on the road. We have to play with toughness, we have to get stops consecutively, they’ve
been getting baskets too easy on us and it’s something we have to work on.” Buckner’s career has been built on defense, but Mississippi’s career blocked shots leader came through on offense this time, shooting 8 of 10 from the field as the Rebels shot 50 percent (27 of 54) as a team. “He was tremendous,” Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. “Obviously the differ-
ence in the game.” Nick Williams added 17 points, Jarvis Summers had 12 and Ole Miss (12-6, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) beat its in-state rival for the first time since 2009. Renardo Sidney led Mississippi State (15-4, 2-2) with 17 points while shooting 6 of 12 from the field. Arnett Moultrie had his ninth double-double of the season with 10 points and 12 rebounds.

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gary Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health has taken a turn for the worse. The 57-year-old Hall of Fame catcher, diagnosed last May with a malignant brain tumor, received results of his latest MRI exam Thursday, according to the online journal of his daughter, Kimmy Bloemers. She writes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I could say that the results were good. ... There are now several new spots/tumors on my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain.

Carter had the MRIs Friday in North Palm Beach, Fla., and the results were sent to his doctors at Duke University for evaluation. A day earlier, he fell at a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment and completely tore a rotator cuff, Bloemers wrote, adding that he also fell on Christmas Eve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very painful and needs surgery, but all dad can do right now is rehab to heal,â&#x20AC;? she wrote.

Jeremy Forster, the program director for U.S. Freeskiing and U.S. Snowboarding, said freeskiers would remember Burke â&#x20AC;&#x153;first, as a friend, and then as a competitor who constantly inspired them to do greater things.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was a leader in her sport, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge loss for the freeskiing community,â&#x20AC;? Forster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am eternally indebted to Sarah for what she has done for this sport,â&#x20AC;? said American superpipe skier Jen Hudak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every turn I ever make will be for her.â&#x20AC;? Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death is sure to re-ignite the debate over safety on the halfpipe. Pearceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he has since recovered and is back to riding on snow â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was a jarring reminder of the dangers posed to these athletes who often market themselves as devil-may-care thrillseekers but know they make their living in a far more serious, and dangerous, profession.

MELBOURNE, Australia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rafael Nadal moved into the fourth round of the Australian Open without dropping a set or showing any signs that a freak knee injury is bothering him. Second-ranked Nadal had a 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 win Friday over Slovakiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lukas Lacko, the last qualifier in the draw, and will next play either John Isner or Feliciano Lopez. Nadal, who won the 2009 Australian title but has gone out in the quarterfinals due to injuries in the last two years, felt a crack and then sharp pain in his right knee while sitting in a chair at his hotel on the weekend and was concerned that he might not be able to play in his opening match. Medical tests didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show any serious damage, and he has had the knee heavily taped in his three matches since. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The knee is fine ... fourth round here, and I have a good feeling,â&#x20AC;? the 10-time major winner said. Nadal is on the same

There is no promise of another tomorrow The loss of a loved one is devastating and creates many questions. The most common question is “Why?” God gives no reason why He takes our loved ones, parents, children, relatives, our friends, our acquaintances, and even our enemies home. Some leave this earth at an early age and for many this is very hard to accept and the human nature in most people is to question God on His choice. Death is hard on everyone, however, the ones who know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior realize death is not permanent for God’s children. It is especially hard when the loss of a young person happens. It is a tragic loss for the family, but it is also a terrible loss for society. Questions come from everyone, even seasoned Christians, asking why God would take such a young life. The hurt is devastating. The grieving process lasts for a longer period of time and for family members, especially parents, this sometimes never ends. Something we all should remember is God did not promise us a tomorrow here on earth. However He did promise us eternal life if we believe in Him and ask Him to be Lord and Savior of our lives. As a child growing up
in church and a Christian family I was taught the words of John Gary 3:16. “For Andrews God so loved the Devotionals world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Losing a loved one is hard, however we have to rely on the comfort only God can give and praise Him for His promise of knowing we will once again be with that loved one in God’s great kingdom. Another scripture passage I was taught at an early age was Psalm 23. The fourth verse says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” What great passages to learn as a child and take with you all through life. As believers in Christ Jesus, we all understand our journey on earth is only a temporary time. Death will come to all of us, some sooner then we want to happen. We all have to realize on God’s great reunion day, we will once again be reunited
Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday -- Hebrews 2:10-18; Monday -- John 8:48-51; Tuesday -- 1 Corinthians 15:50-54; Wednesday -- 1 John 5:13-15; Thursday -- Psalm 49:12-15; Friday -- Hosea 13:14; Saturday -- Isaiah 25:7-9 with all of those who have gone on before us. Death is inevitable and when we lose a loved one, we should grieve and cry and show our emotions. These are natural actions God allows us to have, but we should all remember this is not the end. Prayer: “Father, thank you for loving us and giving us a lifetime on earth. Thank you for our loved ones, the ones who we knew and loved here on earth who have gone on before us. Thank you for the assurance we will once again be reunited with them in your presence in your time. Amen.” (Corinth native Gary Andrews is the new religion columnist for the Daily Corinthian. Now retired, the Yazoo City resident spent 35 years in the newspaper and magazine business. A deacon and Sunday School teacher in his church, much of Andrews’ family are still residents in Alcorn County.)
A lesson from King’s legacy: Lay a foundation for the future BY DEVIN GOLDEN The Commercial Dispatch, Columbus
Otis Moss III asked for one thing: for those listening to “make a way” for future generations. Moss, the senior pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, was the keynote speaker during Monday’s Dream 365 Commemorative Breakfast Program, which is the culminating event in a five-day celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. Moss gave a rousing speech about paving the way with good for others to follow. Moss told the audience that there was always someone to come before, someone to “make a way” for current and future generations. “We are all called to
make a way,” Moss said. “Sometimes, in our own particular ego, we think that we’re the end-all, beall and nothing ever happened before us.” This also holds true for King, Moss said. While celebrating and remembering King on MLK Day, Moss asked people to recognize that someone came before him and allowed him “to be the prophet that we know today.” That person was the Rev. Vernon Johns, who was the pastor at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala., before King became the pastor. “He was always fighting with the deacon ministry and said, ‘If we’re going to be God’s people then we need to change our ways in Montgomery, Ala.’” Johns was asking ques-
tions in the 1930s and 1940s about whether heaven was segregated, Moss said, but “the deacons got him out” and searched for a young preacher who would “listen to them.” According to Moss, that paved the way for King. After the program, Amy Clark, a Franklin Academy fifth-grade teacher, said Moss’ message is something she can relate to her students. “I have to remind them to be the best you that they can be,” she said. Marvin Clark of West Point echoed the positive reflections about the keynote speaker. “It was a really inspirational message from Rev. Otis Moss. I hope it inspires me to go out and open doors for others,” he said.

Many years ago when I was growing up in Sunday School, our teacher shared with us a handy and reliable guide for our prayer lives. For a long time, I followed the pattern of the fingers on my hand to remember all the different things I needed to focus on in my prayers. Sometime last year, a friend forwarded me an email with the exact prayer guide I had learned as a child. Readers who might be looking for a way to teach children how to pray might want to share this example of looking at their own hands to help them when they talk to God. 1. The thumb is nearest us so we begin by praying for the people closest to us. They tend to be important and easiest to remember, so we pray for our loved ones first of all. 2. The next finger is
the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, lead and heal, including Lora Ann teachers, Huff d o c t o r s and minisBack Porch ters. They point others in the right direction and need our prayers as they lead. 3. The next finger is the tallest finger, representing our leaders. Pray for the president and important leaders in our world and businesses. These folks shape our nation and guide public life -they need God’s guidance. 4. The fourth finger is the ring finger. It is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will attest to. It reminds us to pray for those who are weak, sick, in trouble or in pain.
5. Lastly is our little finger -- the smallest finger of all, which is where we place ourselves in relation to God and others. As our pinkie reminds us to pray for ourselves lastly, our children should be taught it is always very important to ask for God’s guidance and help in every area of our personal lives and situations. This is a guide that worked when I was growing up and still works today. It’s easy to learn and remember and is a sure way to teach young hearts how to think of others and how to approach a loving heavenly Father with love and confidence.

In order for him to control her, he needs to keep her dependent. If he senses that she’s nearing a point where she can support herself and the children without him, he could explode. Make sure she knows how to contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline. The toll-free number is 800-799-7233. The experts there can help her formulate as safe an escape plan as pos-
sible. DEAR ABBY: I am currently in a relationship that has become a roller coaster ride for the last few months. My significant other is always accusing me of cheating. He also starts arguments for no reason. Sometimes I wonder if he is having an affair and trying to throw the blame on me for his guilt issues. What do you think? — ARGUED OUT IN INDIANA DEAR ARGUED OUT: That’s very possible. Another reason might be that he’s no longer interested in you and wants to break up. Rather than tolerate his emotional abuse, take the bull by the horns and ask him. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes by Holiday BY HOLIDAY MATHIS The sun’s transit into Aquarius brings a groovy, laid-back feel to the day. It’s as though it’s too soon to tell what tone to take into the new era. Personal interest takes a back seat to a feeling of community. Everyone relaxes a bit to observe what the others need and want. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Just because it’s the way you’ve always been doing it doesn’t mean it’s the way you have to do it today. Nothing is written in stone. Agreements are broken every day. TAURUS (April 20May 20). If it’s not going right, you’ll recognize the problem and take action to reverse the trend. Take care not to say “maybe” when what you really mean is “no way.” GEMINI (May 21-June 21). No matter how perceptive you are at judging people, you’ll make a mistake or two along the way. You won’t be sorry if you err on the side of belief. No one will ever fool you twice though. CANCER (June 22July 22). The Latin expression quid pro quo means “something for something.” You’ll get the feeling that someone is doing a favor for you because they expect one immediately from you in return. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll enjoy home decorating and arranging your domestic scene in a way that is pleasing to you and anyone lucky enough to come into your world. You are naturally good at creating an open, friendly environment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). You’ll learn form others as you have conversations that bounce more or less equally from person to person. The one who drones on and doesn’t lob the conversational ball back is not being open to learning. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The question of whether to add a new gadget to your scene will come up. Do only what seems absolutely necessary. If you keep it simple you’ll limit the chance for unnecessary problems. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Disable your call waiting for a while and do the equivalent in other areas of your life as well. Arrange things so that once you are really involved in an activity you are unlikely to be interrupted. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have strong instincts about money now. You’ll make a plan and follow through with it, and soon money will flow to you through new channels. You have a good use for it, too. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Just because you
share the same bloodline with a person doesn’t mean that you have similar beliefs. Talks on the topic of religion or politics can lead to trouble among family members. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Certain promises have been made, and this is an excellent time to collect on favors, material items and money owed to you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll easily fall into the tendency to put too much pressure on yourself. Don’t require that you others like and admire you. Mix and mingle with the simple intention of having a good time. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 20). You’ll be a person of action right from the start of your new year, and you’ll approach your endeavors with great energy and speed. WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: You’ll be drawn to the finer things and whether or not you can technically afford them, they will be yours. TAURUS: You’re ready to form a deep and
lasting bond and will wait patiently until the other person is ready as well. GEMINI: Love is more exciting when you don’t know exactly how another person feels about you. CANCER: Discussions about money are likely to put a damper on romance, but you can easily avoid the topic. LEO: Someone you wouldn’t expect looks forward to seeing your smile every day. VIRGO: You’ll be admired for your sharp wit and ability to use it appropriately. LIBRA: Platonic ties are favored, and your friend’s friend will
become your friend, too. SCORPIO: You like to be complimented to a point, but it can be embarrassing when someone goes over the top, especially in public. SAGITTARIUS: You want freedom and privacy. You’ll be attracted to those who are likely to give you space. CAPRICORN: You’ll send out subtle signals that you may not be fully aware of. AQUARIUS: You seek regular contact with the important people in your life. PISCES: You’ll educate yourself about the interests of another person — that’s love.
