Strong storm hammers Corinth Straight-line winds cause major damage in downtown area BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Some business owners awoke to storm damage early Saturday morning. The Corinth Machinery building, MS/TN Wholesale Florist and Lil’ Chicago appeared to be the heaviest hit by wind damage. “It appears that it was straight-line damage,” said Danny Gant, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Memphis. “We haven’t been out to check on it, but nothing on radar appeared to be tornadic.” “The storm happened just prior to 3 a.m.,” said Alcorn County Emergency Management Director Ricky Gibens. “It lasted 3040 minutes, then was over.” The roof of the florist business — located on South Parkway next to the railroad — and debris from Lil’ Chicago were blown into the west parking lot of the Northeast Mississippi Business Incubator on Proper. Lil’ Chicago had its front awning ripped away, causing a minor water leak, along with its roadside business sign blown off. “I got here around 3:39 a.m. and the front of the roof was gone and there was glass everywhere,” said Kristie Kyle, daughter of owner Charles Hudson. “The parking lot was covered with debris ... it was ugly out there.” Kyle’s son, 6-year-old Bryson, chipped in to help in the cleanup by carrying limbs and parts of the sign around back as the restaurant got ready to open at 11 a.m. “The damage seemed to follow a line from the Corinth Machinery building to South Parkway,” said Corinth Street Department Commissioner Jim Bynum. “We had trees down at Tate and Penn along with Fulton and Proper.” Cindy’s Place, on Tate Street, also had part of its roof blown away. Damage was suffered at Jake’s along with Taylor Heating & Air. A giant tree on Fulton Street caused damage to a

Stanford wins back-to-back bees Local legislators weigh
in on Barbour’s pardons

KOSSUTH — The spelling king now resides in Kossuth. John Riley Stanford won the Alcorn County Spelling Bee for a second straight year with his correct spelling of “doubtful” earlier this year. Over the last two years, Stanford has left no doubt who is the top speller in the county. “The words weren’t as hard this year,” said Stanford, who won last year as a sixth-grader at Rienzi Elementary. “There might have been a couple of words that I didn’t know that other students had to spell.” Please see BEE | 2A

In the aftermath of Haley Barbour’s controversial signing of almost 200 pardons upon his exit from office, local legislators are focusing on the governor’s clemency process. Four of the cases are from local counties, according to records filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter, House representative from district 1, said that he believes distinctions should be made in what kinds of criminals the gov-
ernor is allowed to pardon. “Our constitution right now states the governor has that power, but in my own opinion, a heinous crime like rape, murder or child molestation should not receive a pardon,” he said. Carpenter said he believes there are cases that warrant a governor’s pardon. “On the other hand, a prime example is an 18-year-old kid, he sells drugs and he’s got a felony for the rest of his life. If he rehabilitates and he’s 47 years Please see PARDONS | 2A

January is National GLAUCOMA Awareness Month
Dr. John Shipp, M.D.
Glaucoma is called "the sneak thief of sight" since there are no symptoms and once vision is lost, it's permanent. Vision loss begins with peripheral or side vision, so if you have glaucoma, you may not notice anything until significant vision is lost. The best way to protect your sight from glaucoma is to get a comprehensive eye examination. Then, if you have glaucoma, treatment is available to save your vision. Glaucoma can be hereditary. So if members of your family have glaucoma, you are at a much higher risk than the rest of the population. --- To schedule an appointment for you or your loved one please call, (662) 286-6068.

Camp Shelby MP shot, saved by vest Associated Press
CAMP SHELBY — An MP at the Camp Shelby military base was shot by someone at the base’s north gate but was saved by the protective vest he was wearing. Camp Shelby officials said the shooting happened Friday night. Officials at the camp
south of Hattiesburg said the officer was making a routine security check at the base’s North Gate around midnight when he was shot. The officer’s name was not released. He was taken to Forrest General Hospital as a precaution, and was released. A search was on for the suspect.

It took 21 rounds for the seventh-grader to go back-to-back for the spelling championship, besting 49 other competitors along the way. Stanford, who plays basketball at Kossuth Middle School, moves onto the Mid-South Spelling Bee for a second consecutive time after claiming $50 for winning the local title. “Spelling isn’t an issue for him,” said KMS Reading teacher Wendy Kelly. “He is now getting 12th grade spelling words ... there aren’t any words he can’t spell.” Stanford moved to Kossuth Middle School this year after taking home the championship while at Rienzi. Last year, he correctly spelled “omission” for

old right now, living a productive life as a good citizen and that felony may be keeping him from getting a good job or taking his kid hunting, for instance,” said Carpenter. “That’s the folks I believe the governor should still have the power to pardon.” He said another factor that contributed to the outcry was the lack of strict adherence to the constitutional requirements for a pardon. The constitution has to be followed to the letter, Carpenter emphasized, including giving a 30-day notice to victims and their families. “The mom of one victim found out when she read it in the newspaper. I can’t imagine how that feels, you know? Your daughter’s killer is about to be released — and you read it in a newspaper,” he said. Carpenter said he was aware of an effort to enact a more rigid process a governor must follow to make a pardon. He supports making each pardon subject to the approval of a five- or six-person parole board. While he feels the system needs some tweaking, Carpenter does not
support a n y changes to the state constitution. “ I don’t feel like we need Arnold to be changing our constitution. I feel like it needs to be looked at with a better Bain microscope before someone is pardoned,” he said. District 2 Rep. Nick Bain supports legislation to limit a governor’s power to pardon. Bain said he supports the legislation filed by Bay St. Louis Rep. David Baria — three bills that call for a change to the state’s pardon process. “He’s got some legislation trying to limit the pardon power — not take it away — but to make it to where there’s a little more safeguards,” Bain said. “On other thing he wants to do away with is the governor’s ability to par-

Tracy Arnold, the represenParks tative f r o m district 3, said he is in favor of more regulations and a better way of notifying crime victims and their families. He also believes the victims and their families should be allowed to address the governor after he states his intentions to make the pardon. “They might be able to sway his opinions,” Arnold said. Sen. Rita Potts Parks supports a review of the process but no change to the state’s constitution. “I do not believe the constitution needs to be rewritten at this time,” Parks said. “If my colleagues wish to review the clemency process, I believe the Senate will do that. These bills will receive consideration as the session progresses.”

Caterpillar commends employees Special to the Daily Corinthian
Caterpillar recently honored employees in its Corinth and Booneville facilities with the 2011 Caterpillar Foundation Community Service Award. The team was recognized for a “culture of service,” supporting charitable organizations, schools and other worthwhile causes with numerous examples of volunteerism. The nomination detailed many specific acts performed as a group and independently. “The hard work, generosity and kind hearts of these employees benefit a broad scope of individuals and causes.” Examples include Relay for Life teams, donations of Christmas gifts through Angel Tree programs and an annual food drive prior to Thanksgiving. Team members support schools by tutoring, judging science fairs, speaking to classes and purchasing school supplies for children in need. Participation in blood drives and community clean-up efforts were mentioned in the nomination, in addition to individuals who serve as volunteer firefighters and coaches for youth athletic teams. This year, Caterpillar employees in Mississippi also devoted supplies, food and many hours of personal time to help storm victims in devastated areas such as Smithville. In honor of the 2011 U.S. Team award recipient, the Cat Foundation will donate $25,000 to charity on behalf of the Corinth and Booneville facilities. This donation provides employees with yet another opportunity to support their communities. The Boys and Girls Club of Boon-
eville and the Lighthouse Foundation in Corinth will each receive $10,000; the Selmer locations of the Exchange Club Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse and the Women’s Resource and Rape Assistance Program (WRAP) will receive $2,500 each. The Caterpillar Foundation Community Service Award recognizes employees who exemplify Commitment — one of the company’s four guiding values — in their communities. The company’s Code of Conduct states: “As individuals and as a company, we contribute significant time and resources to promoting the health, welfare and economic stability of our communities around the world. We encourage all employees to participate in community activities that promote the common good.” Greg Folley, Caterpillar Vice President with responsibility for the Remanufacturing and Components Division, congratulated the team in Corinth and Booneville for this award. “You should be proud of the work you’re doing to strengthen your communities and help those in need. This award is recognition that you’re truly setting the example for our value of Commitment in your communities.” The Caterpillar Remanufacturing operation returns end-of-life components to “sameas-when-new” condition in terms of reliability, durability and performance. Remanufacturing reduces waste, minimizes the need for raw materials to produce new parts and supports the Caterpillar value proposition of providing customers with the lowest life cycle cost over the life of a product.
Borsig: MUW needs men — and women Associated Press
COLUMBUS — Mississippi University for Women president Jim Borsig says with a focus on student recruitment almost anything is on the table. Borsig said in a civic club speech last week that includes discussions about reinstating sports and trying to appeal more to male students. Student enrollment remains heavily tipped toward women, with men making up only 17 percent of the student population.
The Commercial Dispatch reports that Borsig doesn’t see that as a hindrance to recruitment because he doesn’t see men and women in competition. “The women’s mission is a mission for MUW, but it’s not the only mission,” he said. MUW has an enrollment of about 2,600. Education plays a key role in the state’s economic development, Borsig said, and for Mississippi to remain competitive, colleges will have to produce a well-trained work force.

A few words in defense of negative campaigning BY MICHAEL BARONE
Those who take a certain pleasure in denouncing the evils negative political advertising should have spent the last week in South Carolina. They could have plunked down in front of TV sets, especially during morning, early evening and late evening news programs, and by adroit use of the remote control seen one negative spot after another. They could have watched again and again the Ron Paul campaign’s stinging denunciation of Newt Gingrich for, among other things, taking $1.6 million from Freddie Mac. They could have seen a similar assault on Gingrich from the pro-Romney Restore Our Future super PAC (by the way, how do you restore something which by definition doesn’t yet exist?). They could have taken delight in the Rick Santorum campaign’s ad highlighting similarities between Mitt Romney’s record on issues and that of Barack Obama, or in Paul’s stinging ad denouncing Santorum as a “big government conservative.” All of these ads, you may notice, targeted the three candidates who, coming out of Iowa and New Hampshire, were considered by themselves and others as having some chance of winning the nomination: Romney, Gingrich and Santorum. Left largely unattacked were Paul, who confesses he has no chance to win, and Rick Perry, who withdrew Thursday morning. There is a near-unanimous sentiment among the high-minded that negative advertising is a bad thing. It pollutes the air even more than carbon dioxide. It breeds cynicism about politics and government. It is somehow unfair. In response, let me say a few words in praise of negative ads. First, elections are an adversary business, zero-sum games in which only one candidate can win and all the others must lose. Sometimes it’s smart for competitors to concede points to their opponents. But it’s irrational to expect one side to sing consistent praises of the other. In second-grade elections, it may be considered bragging to vote for yourself. But it is silly to expect adults to behave this way. It is especially foolish to expect that candidates who seem headed to win elections should escape criticism on television. Every candidate has weak points and makes mistakes. It’s not dirty pool for opponents to point them out. Second, it is said that negative ads can be inaccurate and unfair. Well, yes -- but so can positive ads. An inaccurate or unfair ad invites refutation and rebuttal, by opponents or in the media, and can boomerang against the attacker. So candidates have an incentive to make attacks that can be sustained. Sometimes voters respond negatively even to fair attacks. That’s why in multicandidate races, an attack by candidate A on candidate B can hurt A as well as B, and end up helping candidate C or D. That’s why many campaigns hesitate before attacking. And it also gives them a motive to make attacks that can be sustained because they are accurate and fair. Third, advertising is not always decisive. Other things can matter more. The barrage of negative ads against Gingrich hurt him in Iowa and New Hampshire, but in South Carolina (which has not yet voted as I write) it did not prevent him from overtaking first Santorum and drawing even with Romney in the polls. Debate performances trumped attack spots. Behind the disdain of the high-minded for negative campaign spots is a fear that they will erode Americans’ faith in politics and government. These folks like to cite polls showing Americans once had great confidence in institutions and that now they lack it. But polls have been showing lack of faith in institutions going back to the late 1960s. The only time when pollsters found high levels of confidence was when the questions were first asked in the 1950s. That was during the two decades when American institutions — big government, big business, big labor — enjoyed enormous prestige after they led the nation to victory in World War II and presided over the unexpected growth and prosperity of the postwar era. I strongly suspect that if you could go farther back in history and ask those same questions, you would find that during much of our history, most Americans were grousing about politicians and complaining about government.

Mansion ‘trusties’ best left in the past STARKVILLE — If there was a silver lining to the flap over former Gov. Haley Barbour’s end-of-term pardons, clemencies and medical releases of state inmates, it is that the controversy struck the death knell of the practice of having state prison inmate “trusties” living and working at the Mississippi Governor’s Mansion. After slavery ended in the South and Reconstruction began, the region’s sordid history of convict leasing was just coming into full swing. Under the system, private parties were able to “lease” convicts from the state for hard labor in private enterprise -- in other words, slavery as punishment for a crime. It was a source of state revenue. It was a source of cheap labor. Because of those two facts, the convict leasing system was also a source of untold corruption. What if there wasn’t enough convict labor to meet the demand from the private sector? An examination of the state’s prison population growth shows that in
the decade from 1870 to 1880, the state’s prison population quadrupled. But the Sid Salter convict labor situaColumnist tion in that era also had the impact of pitting the state’s wealthy Delta planters against the state’s small farmers in the state’s hill counties. David M. Oshinsky detailed the conflict in his 1996 book “Worse Than Slavery: Parchman Farm and the Ordeal of Jim Crow Justice” when he noted: “By 1890, these conflicts threatened to split both the Democratic Party and its solid white façade. The small farmers, feeling squeezed and cheated, were demanding reform . . . to their thinking, the forced labor of black prisoners had enriched a clique of arrogant planters and businessmen at the expense of everyone else.” The Mississippi Constitutional Convention of 1890
voted to make it illegal to lease or hire state convicts after Dec. 31, 1894. Oshinsky observed: “The delegates did not vote for immediate abolition because there was no place to put the prisoners.” The expectation, the author noted, was that the state would absorb the former leased convicts into a state prison farm. Parchman Farm was originally established in 1901 just for that purpose. Off the books, however, convict leasing continued for some time well into the next century after the 1890 Constitution had outlawed the practice. The “trusty” system evolved from the state’s convict leasing and labor system and was always a vestige of Jim Crow and the perpetuation of the state’s plantation mentality from the 1800s. But by the time Haley Barbour became governor, the mansion trusty system in Mississippi had evolved much like convict labor programs at other state governor’s mansions and not just in the old Confederate South. A similar program in
Ohio drew criticism in 2010 under former Gov. Ted Strickland. Missouri, Nebraska, Kentucky and other states have used mansion trusty systems. But Kentucky eliminated their program of using trusty labor at the governor’s mansion in 1980 when an inmate murdered a young woman in the neighborhood near the mansion. If the use of convict labor is justified from a fiscal standpoint at the Governor’s Mansion, so be it. But those convicts should operate within the state’s existing parole system without the expectation of special privileges or the guarantee of a pardon. Frankly, new Gov. Phil Bryant was exceedingly wise to conclude that in 2012 in a state trying desperately to move beyond its stereotypes, the notion of state inmates working in the “big house” is one that Mississippi can do very well without moving forward.

Who really wants war with Iran? On Sept. 21, 1976, as his car rounded Sheridan Circle on Embassy Row, former Chilean ambassador Orlando Letelier was assassinated by car bomb. Ronni Moffitt, a 25-year-old American women who worked with Letelier at the leftist Institute for Policy Studies, died with him. Michael Townley, an exCIA asset in the hire of Chile’s intelligence agency, confessed to using anti-Castro Cubans to murder Letelier, in what was regarded as an act of terrorism on U.S. soil. Which raises a question: Are not the murders of four Iranian scientists associated with that nation’s nuclear program, by the attachment of bombs to their cars in Tehran, also acts of terrorism? Had the Stalin- or Khrushchev-era Soviets done this to four U.S. scientists in Washington, would we not have regarded it as acts of terrorism and war? Iran has accused the United States and Israel of murder. But Hillary Clinton emphatically denied any U.S. complicity: “I want to categorically deny any United States involvement in any kind of act of violence inside Iran.” “The United States had absolutely nothing to do with this,” added National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor, “We strongly condemn all acts of violence, including acts of violence like this.” Victoria Nuland, Clinton’s spokeswoman at State, denounced “any assassination

or attack on an innocent person, and we express our sympathies to the family.” Pat The assassiBuchanan nated scientist was a superviColumnist sor at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility that hosts regular inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency. If Iran is building a bomb, it is not at Natanz. U.S. denial of involvement leaves Mossad as the prime suspect. Israel has not denied it, and this comes at a sensitive time in U.S.-Israeli relations. In Foreign Policy magazine, author and historian Mark Perry, claiming CIA documentation, alleges that Mossad agents in London posed as CIA agents and contacted Jundallah, a terrorist group, to bribe and recruit them to engage in acts of terror inside Iran. Jundallah has conducted attacks in Sistan-Baluchistan province, killing government officials, soldiers, and women and children. According to Perry, when George W. Bush learned of the Mossad agents posing as CIA while recruiting terrorists, he “went totally ballistic.” Yet Meir Dagan, head of Mossad at the time, denies it, and, ironically, has called any Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities “the stupidest thing I have ever heard.” Who is telling the truth?
We do not know for sure. What we do know is that “Bibi” Netanyahu is desperate to have the United States launch air and missile strikes to stop Teheran from becoming the world’s ninth nuclear power. And he is echoed not only by U.S. neocons, but GOP candidates save Ron Paul. Nor should we be surprised. To bring America into its war with Germany, Winston Churchill set up William Stephenson, “A Man Called Intrepid,” with hundreds of agents in New York to engage in everything from bribery to blackmail of U.S. senators to get the United States to enter the war and pull England’s chestnuts out of the fire. This is what desperate countries do. And while America First kept us out of the European war until Adolf Hitler invaded Russia, ensuring that Russians, not Americans, died in the millions to defeat him, eventually America was maneuvered into war. Whoever is assassinating these Iranian scientists, be it homegrown Iranian terrorists, Jundallah at the instigation of Israel, or Mossad, the objective is clear: Enrage the Iranians so they strike out at America, provoking a U.S.Iranian war. Is such a war in America’s interests? Consider. While U.S. air and naval power would prevail, Iranian civilians would die, as some of their nuclear facilities are in populated areas. Moreover,

we cannot kill the nuclear knowledge Iran has gained. Thus we would only set back their nuclear program by several years. And a bloodied and beaten Iran would then go allout for a bomb. The regime, behind which its people would rally, would emerge even more entrenched. U.S. bombing did not cause Germans to remove Hitler or Japanese to depose their emperor. And we lack the ground troops to invade and occupy a country three times the size of Iraq. All U.S. ships, including carriers in that bathtub the Persian Gulf, would be at risk from shore-based anti-ship missiles and the hundreds of missile boats in Iran’s navy. Any sea battle would send oil prices to $200 and $300 a barrel. There goes the eurozone. Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Shia of the Saudi oil fields and Bahrain, home port to the Fifth Fleet, and Iranian agents in Afghanistan and Iraq could set the region aflame. As America started up the road to Baghdad in 2003, Gen. David Petraeus is said to have asked, “Tell me how this ends.” Before some agent provocateur pushes us into war with Iran, Congress should debate the wisdom of authorizing President Obama, or anyone else, to take America into her fifth war in a generation in the Middle and Near East.

State For some, pardons stress redemption, not freedom BY HOLBROOK MOHR Associated Press
WESSON — When Thomas Ailes heard from a friend that he’d been pardoned for a marijuana conviction from the 1970s, he didn’t wait for the Mississippi Parole Board to mail him the paperwork. He jumped in his blue Dodge truck and drove an hour to the capital to pick it up himself. On an unseasonably warm morning this past week, the Vietnam veteran kicked back on his front porch in the tiny town of Wesson and proudly displayed Executive Order
No. 1083, one of nearly 200 pardons former Gov. Haley Barbour signed in his final days in office. “I’m going to have about 10 copies of this bad boy made. And this one here is getting framed,” Ailes said. The pardon isn’t lifechanging for Ailes, 61. He’s been out of prison since 1977. He’s disabled, so it won’t help him land a job. He never lost his right to vote. “I just wanted the same clean record I had when I joined the Marines,” he said. “I wanted it so I can clear my conscience.” Ailes’ hopes may be
dashed. The Mississippi attorney general’s office is trying to have dozens of pardons thrown out, including his. In the shadows of the national headlines and angry reaction from victims of heinous crimes, there are many like Ailes, searching for redemption, not freedom. Barbour, a two-term Republican governor, has been criticized for granting so many pardons and for giving them to people convicted of serious crimes like murder and rape. Among those pardoned were trusties — prisoners so trusted that
they are allowed to work at the Governor’s Mansion. Some lawmakers have vowed to craft legislation that would limit the governor’s pardoning powers. Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps has said that since he began working in the prison system in the 1970s, he did not know of any trusties who went back to prison for new crimes after being granted full pardons. Most of the pardons were for lesser crimes, some dating back decades. Four men who benefited from Barbour’s pardons were convicted of crimes in the 1960s
Speaker names state House committee chairs BY JEFF AMY Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn named leaders for the House’s 40 committees Friday, allowing the chamber to move ahead with business. With the GOP takeover of the House, Republicans were named to head all of the major committees. Unlike four years ago, though, when Democratic Speaker Billy McCoy froze out GOP members from chairmanships after they failed to depose him, Republican Gunn of Clinton named Democrats to head 10 committees, compared to 30 for Republicans. “I want a team that is capable and will help move Mississippi forward,” Gunn told reporters after the announcements.
The assigning of members to committees in the House, where Republicans seized a majority for the first time since Reconstruction, took two weeks longer than in the Senate. Gunn said party affiliation, along with regional balance, were factors he considered in making his choices. The split of House committee chairman is more in favor of the GOP than in the Senate, where Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, also a Republican, named 18 of 39 chairs as Democrats. New committee leaders for some of the House’s most prominent committees include: ■ Appropriations, Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville. ■ Ways and Means, Jeff Smith, R-Columbus. ■ Judiciary A, Mark
Baker, R-Brandon. ■ Judiciary B, Andy Gipson, R-Braxton. ■ Education, John Moore, R-Brandon. Gunn said many people recommended Frierson and Smith to him as chairmen of the two money committees. He noted each had served on their respective committees for years. All of the men who ran against Gunn to be the Republican choice for speaker are in charge of powerful House committees. Besides Frierson, Smith and Moore, Rep. Mark Formby, R-Picayune, was named earlier as chairman of the House Rules Committee. Republicans chose Gunn as speaker in November, several days after the state election. When the 2012 session opened Jan.
3, he was elected without opposition from Democrats. House members said they had little advance notice of their assignments, which Gunn said he was tweaking as late as Friday morning. “I didn’t have a clue,” said Rep. Hank Zuber, R-Ocean Springs, named as chairman of the Banking and Financial Services Committee. Democrats were mixed in their reactions. “The Democrats fared well in being members of committees, if not chairmen,” said Rep. Greg Holloway Sr., D-Hazlehurst. Holloway, a former Jackson State University employee, said he was pleased to be named vice chairman of the Universities and Colleges panel.
— one for arson, two for burglary and one for robbery. More than four times that many were convicted of crimes in the 1970s, and even more in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Barbour has said 189 of the people who got reprieves were already out of prison, like Herbert Lowery of Vicksburg. Lowery was 30 when he was busted for delivering marijuana and admitted he was looking for fast money to build a house and start a family. A shameful mistake, he called it, saying he’s never even smoked pot.
Now 64, Lowery served less than a year in 1979 and hasn’t been in trouble since. But the felony conviction was a haunting embarrassment. Like Ailes, the pardon isn’t likely to have much effect on Lowery’s life. He too is disabled, from heart surgery and lung cancer. He’s an avid hunter, but a judge restored his right to own a gun years ago. He’s been voting ever since he got of prison. “I just wanted to clear my name before I died,” Lowery said. “I’m so ashamed of what I did.”

Robber rode skateboard to banks Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — Mexico City police say they have arrested a would-be bandit who rode his skateboard to bank robbery attempts. Police say Sergio Ledesma and his skateboard have been turned over to prosecutors after he al-
legedly attempted to rob two banks by whispering threats to tellers. Police say the teller at the first bank simply acted as if he hadn’t heard Ledesma, who then skated off to a second bank. The second teller told police Ledesma appeared
to whisper a threat. So the teller set off a silent alarm, and counted out the money while the would-be robber waited patiently. Police said Friday Ledesma was still waiting when they arrived and arrested him.

State of the Union to offer economic plan BY BEN FELLER Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Vilified by the Republicans who want his job, President Barack Obama says he will stand before the nation Tuesday night determined to frame the election-year debate on his terms, promising that his State of the Union address will offer an economic blueprint that will “work for everyone, not just a wealthy few.” In a video released Saturday to millions of campaign supporters, Obama said he will concentrate on four areas designed to
restore economic security for the long term: manufacturing, energy, education, job training and a “return to American values.” The prime-time speech will be not just about the year ahead, but will try to make Obama’s case for a second term. “We can go in two directions,” the president said. “One is toward less opportunity and less fairness. Or we can fight for where I think we need to go: building an economy that works for everyone, not just a wealthy few.” That line of argument
about income equality is emerging as a defining theme of the presidential race as Republicans are in their own fierce battle to pick a nominee to challenge Obama in the fall. By notifying the millions of supporters on his email list, Obama gave advance notice to his Democratic base and trying to generate an even larger audience for Tuesday’s address. The president’s preview did not mention national security or foreign policy, and he is not expected to announce new initiatives on those front in a speech focusing on the economy.
Northwest storm cuts power; thousands try to stay warm BY JONATHAN J. COOPER AND MANUEL VALDES Associated Press
SEATTLE — Tens of thousands of Pacific Northwest residents faced the prospect of a chilly weekend after a powerful storm brought snow and ice and left a tangle of fallen trees and damaged power lines. Several Oregon counties saw their worst flooding in more than a decade. The National Weather Service forecast more rain and winds gusting as high as 40 mph Saturday in Western Washington, a combination that could bring down even more snow-laden and ice-damaged trees. Nearly 230,000 customers were without power late Friday night in Western Washington, about 220,000 of them Puget Sound Energy customers.
The utility has brought in repair crews from across the West and planned to field more than 800 linemen on Saturday, in addition to tree-trimming crews, spokesman Roger Thompson said. “The wind is a wild card that could set us back,” he said, adding PSE hoped to have the majority of the outages restored by Sunday, although some customers will probably be without power into early next week. The Weather Service predicted weekend lows in the mid-30s. Several warming shelters have been opened in the area to aid people whose homes are without heat. Despite warnings from emergency officials, the first cases of possible carbon monoxide poisoning surfaced Friday night. Two families in the Seattle suburb of Kent were taken to hospitals af-
ter suffering separate cases of possible poisoning. Both had been using charcoal barbecues indoors for heat. The storm was already blamed for three deaths. A mother and her 1-year-old son died after torrential rain on Wednesday swept away a car from an Albany, Ore., grocery store parking lot. An elderly man was fatally injured Thursday by a falling tree as he was backing an all-terrain vehicle out of a backyard shed near Seattle. On Washington’s Mount Rainier, a blizzard kept rescuers from searching Friday for two campers and two climbers missing since early this week. Just east of that region, about 200 skiers and workers were able to leave the Crystal Mountain ski resort after transportation officials reopened the area’s main highway, closed two days earlier by fallen trees.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Ashley Tatum was three months behind on utility payments after leaving her job at a coffee shop because of pregnancy complications. The mother of two owed $648, and the tough economy did not offer many options. The Milwaukee resident had one small reason to hope: The winter has been mild and her heating bills low, offering an unexpected chance to catch up on overdue payments. “It was helpful because then I wouldn’t have to stress about getting all this extra money,” she said. Although there have been some cold snaps and storms, the moderate weather has been a boon to millions of Americans, allowing

But few have been more grateful than low-income families, who are getting a break from high heating costs. Tatum first noticed the lower charges in November. Her bill covering most of December was $164, less than half the price from a year earlier. “I was surprised,” Tatum said. “I called my sister and said, ‘Girl, is your bill cheaper, too?’ I’m happy that we had those nice warm days.” Initially, forecasters made grim predictions that this winter could rival or exceed the cold, snowy assault of 2010-11. But average temperatures have been well above normal across the Upper Midwest and Northeast. Combined with a lack of snow and ice, the unsea-

Judge denies BP request to penalize Halliburton NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge shot down BP’s request to penalize Halliburton for allegedly destroying damaging evidence about the quality of its cement slurry that went into drilling the oil well that blew out last year and caused the na-
sonable conditions have been a blessing for many families who normally devote much of their budgets to natural gas, propane or heating oil. In Michigan, temperatures have been 15 percent above normal since October, and plentiful fuel supplies are driving down natural gas prices. “It’s helping all customers,” said Judy Palnau, spokeswoman for the Michigan Public Service Commission. Utility company Consumers Energy says its 1.7 million natural gas customers in Michigan are paying about 20 percent less than a year ago. The average residential bill for January will be $112, down from about $140. Marc Ryan of Traverse City is living in a friend’s trailer for the winter. His latest utility bill was for $90 — about $25 less than last year.

Mississippi State tops Vandy 78-77 in OT BY TERESA M. WALKER Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Dee Bost scored on a layup with 51.8 seconds left in overtime and No. 18 Mississippi State edged Vanderbilt 78-77 Saturday night, snapping the Commodores’ eight-game winning streak. The Bulldogs (16-4, 3-2 Southeastern Conference)
won in Memorial Gym for the first time since 2004 and snapped their own threegame skid in Nashville. They appeared headed toward another loss after trailing 3928 at halftime. Vanderbilt (14-5, 4-1) had plenty of chances to extend its winning streak but missed three shots after Bost’s layup, the last a 3-point at-
tempt by John Jenkins that hit the front of the rim just before the buzzer. Bost scored 24 points, reserve Jalen Steele added 15, and Arnett Moultrie had his 11th double-double with 21 points and 14 rebounds. Jenkins led Vanderbilt with 21 points, Jeffery Taylor had 19, and Festus Ezeli had 12 points and 14 re-

Corinth’s Aundrea Adams tries to get past Kossuth’s Darbie Coleman during the eighth-grade girls’ championship. Adams scored a game-high 19 points in the Lady Warriors’ 43-32 win.
KOSSUTH — Corinth Middle School answered the challenge. After watching the Warriors and Lady Warriors sweep the high school version of the Alcorn County Tournament for just the second time in school history, Corinth prevailed in all four title matches at the Middle School event on Saturday. CMS topped Kossuth in three of the four bouts and got past Alcorn Central in the other. Semifinal action was staged Monday and Thursday at Kossuth High School. The contestants in the eighth-grade title games earned a spot in the annual Five County Tournament — Alcorn, Prentiss, Tippah, Tishomingo and Union — to be played January 24-28 at the Bonner Arnold Coliseum on the campus of Northeast Mississippi Community College. ■ The seventh-grade boys’ contest went down to the wire with Kerrigan Maness’ banker from 3-point range providing the final margin in a 33-30 decision over Kossuth. A pair of free throws by Kossuth’s Trip Campbell and a single effort by Maness forged a 30-30 tie and set the stage for a thrilling finish. Maness led all scorers with 21 points, including 10 of his team’s 15 in the fourth quarter. Kennedy Dye and Nick Wilcher tallied 10 each for Kossuth. Please see ACT | 9A
Henry’s 24 leads Ole Miss past Georgia 66-63 BY GEORGE HENRY Associated Press
ATHENS, Ga. — Terrance Henry can’t really say why Ole Miss struggles so badly at the free-throw line. As long as the Rebels win, however, Henry believes his team will be just fine. “We’re used to it,” Henry said. “That’s our M.O. We grind it out on defense, take what we can get on offense. It
wasn’t new to us, so we were used to a game like that.” Henry scored 24 points, Nick Williams and Murphy Holloway added 12 and Mississippi held off a late surge from Georgia for a 66-63 victory on Saturday. The Rebels (13-6, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) have won two straight and three of four. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
finished with 25 points and Gerald Robinson had 19 for Georgia (10-9, 1-4). “No one is happy,” Robinson said. “Almost doesn’t count in basketball. We just lost. We didn’t put ourselves in position to win the game. We didn’t finish like we should have.” Ole Miss’ Jarvis Summers made one of two free throws to give the Rebels a 10-point
lead with 47 seconds remaining, but Henry and Summers showed why their school ranks last in SEC’s freethrowing shooting, combining to miss their next four foul shots as Georgia twice cut the lead to two points in the final 23 seconds. “It’s certainly not the way we would have drawn up finPlease see HENRY | 9A

HENRY: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;People make shots. People make runs, but like I said, we ended strong.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; CONTINUED FROM 8A
ishing the game,â&#x20AC;? Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but the bottom line is they got it done.â&#x20AC;? With 9 seconds left, Henry hit one free throw but missed the second attempt. Dustin Ware grabbed the rebound for Georgia and made a long pass to Robinson in the right corner, but Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-point attempt bounced off the rim. Nemanja Djurisic picked up the loose ball on the left side, but he launched a 3-point attempt that bounced off the rim and was pulled down by Henry at the buzzer. A few more good free throws would have given the Rebels a more comfortable margin, but they went 20 of 35 from the foul line. Sum-
mers and Reginald Buckner combined to go 4 of 15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guys that just have to step up and make them,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made some at the end to push it to three. That was big for us. Terrance made that last one, so they had to take a 3.â&#x20AC;? Buckner, the SECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading rebounder, finished with six points and 10 boards. Georgia, which never led after Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jumper made it 8-7 early in the first half, continued to struggle offensively. The Bulldogs began the game ranked last in SEC scoring (61.9 points) and managed to lower the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst field-goal percentage to 39.9 percent after hitting just 23 of 63 attempts.

out the game. The Bulldogs spent many possessions passing the ball around the perimeter, winding down the shot clock and then firing up a low-percentage shot. Defensively, the Bulldogs gave the Rebels too many open looks by not disrupting their passing lanes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very disappointing the way that we played for most of the game today,â&#x20AC;? Georgia coach Mark Fox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We scratched and clawed our way back, but you have to play every minute of every game to win in this league. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve to win the game.â&#x20AC;? Ware went 0 for 7 beyond the arc and is now 6 for his last 31. Demarco Coxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layup with 14:24 remaining gave Ole Miss its biggest lead at 14.
The Rebels improved to 12-2 when leading at halftime. Henry, who scored 15 points in the first half, looked as if he had put the game out of reach with a jumper that made it 62-50 with 1:11 remaining. Williams was disappointed that Ole Miss allowed the Bulldogs to work their way back in the final minute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were back on our heels, and I guess you could say we were playing not to lose because we were up so much,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They got some momentum and hit some shots. It happens in college basketball. People make shots. People make runs, but like I said, we ended strong. Georgia hosts No. 2 Kentucky on Tuesday. Ole Missâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next game is Thursday at home against No. 17 Florida.

I work in the fast food industry, and on behalf of my fellow workers, may I dish out the following: Please have a general idea of what you’d like before you reach the speaker. The corporate office has us on a timer, which starts ticking as soon as you pull up. Please be patient. We know you’re tired of waiting behind the car ahead of you, but we’re trying our best to make sure you get quality food. If you have a large order or a special request, please come inside to order if possible. The people in the car behind you are waiting for their food, too. Speak clearly (but don’t yell!) into the speaker. Also, although it may seem cute to you, I can barely understand your 4-year-old when she asks me for her kiddie meal. If you can’t hear yourself over your car radio, I can’t either. But if you’re talking on your cellphone or to someone in your vehicle, I can hear you — and I’ve heard some wild stuff.
If it’s raining, please turn off y o u r w i n d shield Abigail wipers beVan Buren fore you reach my Dear Abby window. Otherwise, I get splashed. Finally, please treat me with respect! Yes, I know I “only” work the drive-through at your local burger joint, but you want that burger, don’t you? — WORKING THE WINDOW IN GEORGIA DEAR WORKING THE WINDOW: I hope your letter will be taken to heart because it deserves to be. Personnel in the food service business often must deal with customers who are less than at their best — people who are stressed, hungry and more — but that’s no excuse to treat the server rudely. Your suggestions are good ones, to which I would add that “please” and “thank you” are always appreciated. Now, may I please have a double with extra-crispy fries? Thank you. DEAR ABBY: I am a

Four outstanding area high school seniors have been selected to receive the prestigious Good Citizen Award presented by the LaSalle chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution for the 2011-2012 school year. They are Molly Grace White at Alcorn Central High School, James Daniel Haworth from Corinth High School, Tyler Jake Pittman from Kossuth High School and Christopher Lee Bishop from Biggersville High School. The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution selects the award recipients from three nominations made by teachers at each area high school. The senior class at each school then votes for its choice to represent the school. Students elected are asked to briefly describe how they feel about the four qualities of a good citizen — dependability, service, leadership and patriotism — and how they are important. The students reveal how they have tried to exhibit these qualities in their lives and their relationships with others. White, the daughter of Bryan and Jenny White, has been a class representative for Alcorn Central’s student government association since her freshman year. As a member of Future Business Leaders of America, she placed third in regional competition for impromptu speaking. She is also a member of the math team, Mu Alpha

Check out 5 great movies about airplanes BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic
LOS ANGELES — “Red Tails,” in theaters this weekend, is about the first black fighter pilots in the United States: the Tuskegee Airmen who finally saw battle in the skies over Europe during World War II. It’s a story that’s very much worth telling; the film itself, however, is hokey and old-fashioned. Still, it’s a good opportunity to take a look at five movies about airplanes that really do soar: ■ “Airplane!” (1980): Not just one of the best airplane movies ever, not just one of the best comedies ever. This is one of my absolute favorite movies ever, regardless of genre. When the LA Film Critics Association asked its members to fill out a questionnaire and choose one movie everyone should see, I didn’t
pick “Citizen Kane.” I picked this. It’s a dead-on spoof of all those 1970s “Airport” disaster movies, the one to which all subsequent parodies have aspired. The tone is so perfect, the cast is so great, and the script is so jammed with classic lines. And while the whole exercise is completely silly, “Airplane!” is also very precise in its language, in the details within the sight gags. This kind of comedy is really hard to do just right without going overboard; the writing-directing team of Jim Abrahams and David and Jerry Zucker found that balance. ■ “Wings” (1927): This was the first film to win the Academy Award for best picture and the only silent film ever to achieve that honor. A restored print of “Wings” recently was shown to a packed house at the Motion Pic-
ture Academy with live organ accompaniment, and it was a huge treat to see it in that setting. This tale of World War I fighter pilots, starring Charles Rogers, Richard Arlen and an insanely adorable Clara Bow, was at the time the most expensive movie Paramount had ever made. The budget was set at $1.2 million but it ballooned to $2.1 million. Director William Wellman insisted that his actors take flying lessons so the aerial scenes would look more realistic, and to this day they remain thrilling. “Wings” is also notable for the presence of a young Gary Cooper, although he’s only in it for about two minutes; Arlen’s Boston terrier gets more screen time. ■ “United 93” (2006): Paul Greengrass’ reenactment of the hijacking of United Airlines Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001, which
crashed into a Pennsylvania field after passengers foiled the terrorist plot, sounded like a daunting prospect. We know all too well how it’s going to end long before it begins, and his documentary-style realism would surely add to the agony. But it is that very realism and Greengrass’ respectful attention to detail that make it impossible not to feel engrossed with every fiber in your being. “United 93” provokes a rare physical reaction: It makes your muscles tense up, makes you sit straight-backed in your seat, digging your nails into the armrests. Many films purport themselves, in blurb-friendly verbiage, to be edge-ofyour-seat thrillers. This one really is. ■ “Top Gun” (1986): This is the 1980s in film form: all the bombast and patriotism, all the big hair
and shoulder pads, with Tom Cruise at the height of his powers playing a fighter pilot named — in all seriousness — Maverick. Cruise was still young and sexy back then, and “Top Gun” wasn’t exactly subtle in celebrating his cocky, brash screen persona. Or as his superior puts it in scolding him: “Son, your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash.” Cruise, Anthony Edwards and Val Kilmer play students at an elite flying academy. Cruise wins over his instructor (Kelly McGillis) by getting an entire bar to sing “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” to her. It’s big and cheesy and totally irresistible. ■ “North by Northwest” (1959): This is a cheat, I will acknowledge that. But the crop-duster scene is so iconic that when I think of movies about airplanes, I think of this. It
isn’t just one of the most famous scenes in an Alfred Hitchcock film, it’s one of the most famous scenes in film history, period. Cary Grant, a victim of mistaken identity who finds himself wrongly accused of murder, goes on the run. In his hunt for clues to the mystery he’s gotten himself tangled in, he winds up on a rural highway in the middle of nowhere, where he’s repeatedly buzzed by an armed crop-dusting plane. Decades later, this sequence remains chilling, with the menacing whirr of the plane’s engine and the crunch of Grant’s feet desperately pounding the dirt providing an increasingly tense rhythm. Think of any other examples? Share them with AP Movie Critic Christy Lemire through Twitter: http://twitter.com/christylemire.
Legendary singer Etta James dies from leukemia complications BY NEKESA MUMBI MOODY AND ROBERT JABLON Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Etta James’ performance of the enduring classic “At Last” was the embodiment of refined soul: Angelic-sounding strings harkened the arrival of her passionate yet measured vocals as she sang tenderly about a love finally realized after a long and patient wait. In real life, little about James was as genteel as that song. The platinum blonde’s first hit was a saucy R&B number about sex, and she was known
as a hell-raiser who had tempestuous relationships with her family, her men and the music industry. Then she spent years battling a drug addiction that she admitted sapped away at her great talents. The 73-year-old died on Friday at Riverside Community Hospital from complications of leukemia, with her husband and sons at her side, her manager, Lupe De Leon said. “It’s a tremendous loss for her fans around the world,” he said. “She’ll be missed. A great American singer. Her music defied category.”
James’ spirit could not be contained — perhaps that’s what made her so magnetic in music; it is surely what made her so dynamic as one of R&B, blues and rock ‘n’ roll’s underrated legends. “The bad girls ... had the look that I liked,” she wrote in her 1995 autobiography, “Rage to Survive.” ‘’I wanted to be rare, I wanted to be noticed, I wanted to be exotic as a Cotton Club chorus girl, and I wanted to be obvious as the most flamboyant hooker on the street. I just wanted to be.” “Etta James was a pioneer. Her ever-changing

Everyone does not value friendliness and good cheer the same. The Aquarius energy takes hold, encouraging every person to extend good will and kindness to the extent that they are able. It is the eve of the new moon in Aquarius, and the timing is perfect to decide what your contribution to humankind will be over the next four weeks. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will get the sense that you don’t need a special key to unlock your destiny. You are the key. Remember when you used to believe in your own powers? Get back to that belief. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your internal engine is revved up and ready to go, but the street is blocked off due to construction. You can find another route on your own, but it will be easier if you ask for directions. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What builds character doesn’t have to be earth-shattering. You’ll make lasting change in small increments. It just feels right to you to try to improve yourself on a daily basis. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Solving problems is what makes you smarter. Instead of seeing a problem as frustrating, you’ll see it as an interesting little challenge. This new point of view will support your success. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re naturally competitive, and this means you are bound to be jealous every once in a while. It’s a helpful state if you use it properly. Let your envy inform you as to what improvements
you want to make in your own life. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have a style all your own that is constantly developing. Because you know yourself and what you like, what you produce will be more interesting, specific and effective. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You might be having fun with a new venture, though it’s not really paying you back as of yet. Make adjustments. Don’t put any more money into this until it starts making dollars sense. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re trying to look on the bright side, but certain pessimists have your ear. There’s some good in this. A kernel of gloomy knowledge could help you take preventive action. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You feel the moment is right, and you act on it. This decisiveness will make you a great leader. But first, you’ll lead yourself. Filled with the passion of your conviction, you’ll push through to the end you desire. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll give a little more of your heart, fully knowing that this makes you vulnerable to being hurt. The benefits will outweigh the risk. Love requires you to be courageous. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Creating your ideal world takes initiative, drive and imagination. You have plenty of all three qualities now. You’ll welcome spontaneity and seize the chance for fun this afternoon. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may have the impulse to save things that will not really be useful to you in the end. If you’re not totally convinced of the inherent value of something, discard it. If you don’t love it, lose it.

sound has influenced rock and roll, rhythm and blues, pop, soul and jazz artists, marking her place as one of the most important female artists of our time,” said Rock and Roll Hall of Fame President and CEO Terry Stewart. “From Janis Joplin to Joss Stone, an incredible number of performers owe their debts to her. There is no mistaking the voice of Etta James, and it will live forever.” Despite the reputation she cultivated, she would always be remembered best for “At Last.” The jazz-inflected rendition wasn’t the original, but it
would become the most famous and the song that would define her as a legendary singer. The tender, sweet song belied the turmoil in her personal life. James — born Jamesette Hawkins — was born in Los Angeles to a mother whom she described as a scam artist, a substance abuser and a fleeting presence during her youth. She never knew her father, although she was told and had believed, that he was the famous billiards player Minnesota Fats. He neither confirmed nor denied it: when they met, he simply told her: “I don’t
remember everything. I wish I did, but I don’t.” James recorded a string of hits in the late 1950s and ‘60s including “Trust In Me,” ‘’Something’s Got a Hold On Me,” “Sunday Kind of Love,” “All I Could Do Was Cry,” and of course, “At Last.” In 1967, she cut one of the most highly regarded soul albums of all time, “Tell Mama,” an earthy fusion of rock and gospel music featuring blistering horn arrangements, funky rhythms and a churchy chorus. A song from the album, “Security,” was a top 40 single in 1968.

FaithPointe Church FaithPointe Church invites you to come and enjoy the Life-Changing Ministry of Jerry Savelle as he teaches you from God’s Word how to win in life. Childcare will be provided for ages 6 and under. Date: Tuesday, January 24th. 2012 Time: 7:00 PM Place: FaithPointe Church 440 Hwy 64 East Adamsville,TN 38310 For additional information call the church office at: 731-632-4999 or visit our website at www.faithpointechurch.com. Dr. Jerry Savelle was an average, blue-collar man who was struggling and needed God’s help. While he considered himself a “nobody,” when he became a believer God told him not to worry about it because He was a master at making champions out of nobodies. God has since taken Dr. Savelle from being a constant quitter to a man who knows how to stand on the Word of God until victory is experienced. Because of the life-changing combination of God’s faithfulness and Dr. Savelle’s “no quit” attitude, his life is totally different than it was thirty-eight years ago. Since 1969, Dr. Savelle has been traveling the world teaching people how to win in life. Dr. Savelle has ministered in more than three thousand churches in twenty-six nations, and has overseas offices in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and a mission’s outreach in Tanzania, Africa. God has used Dr. Savelle to impact people who are burned out on religion and who have backslidden in their walk with God, as well as Christians who have a need to hear the Word of God presented in terms applicable to their lives, dreams, and destinies. He is the host of the Jerry Savelle Ministries television broadcast which airs in two hundred countries worldwide. Dr. Savelle is the author of more than forty books, including his bestsellers, If Satan Can’t Steal Your Joy, He Can’t Keep Your Goods and Called to Battle, Destined to Win. He and his wife Carolyn also serve as founding Pastors of Heritage of Faith Christian Center in Crowley, Texas.
