Man pleads guilty to murder Preston Lee Pegg Jr. gets life sentence in wife’s slaying BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Preston Lee Pegg Jr. pleaded guilty Thursday morning to capital murder in the killing of his wife and was given a net sentence of life plus 20 years in custody with no possibility of parole. Pegg, 38, appeared in Alcorn County Circuit Court before Judge Thomas Gardner to plead guilty

to one count of capital murder enhanced by firearm possession and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in the killing of his wife, Joanna Denise Pegg, on July 30, 2010. Gardner imposed the state’s recommended sentence of life in custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections without the possibility of parole plus 10 years for the en-

hanced murder charge and another 10 years on the firearm possession charge. He was also ordered to pay $6,500 to the Mississippi Crime Victims Compensation Fund for the victim’s funeral expenses. The additional 20 years are consecutive to the life sentence. Pegg was to be transferred immediately to MDOC custody. He had prior felony convictions

in Alcorn County of burglary and grand larceny and pending felony charges of rape and statutory rape in McNairy County, Tenn. In a brief remark to the court, Pegg said he attempted suicide around July or August. Pegg’s attorney told the court that one of the defendant’s reasons for pleading Please see PEGG | 2A

Man gets 12 years in kidnapping, burglary case BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

A Booneville man has been sentenced to a total of 12 years in prison for his role in the 2009 kidnapping and robbery of an elderly Prentiss County man and his daughter. Anthony Branch, 43, pleaded guilty to two counts each of kidnapping and burglary and larceny of a dwelling and one count of armed robbery Thursday in

Prentiss County Circuit Court, bringing to a close his role in a case that began in June 2009 when he and two others broke into the neighboring homes of the woman and her father, tied them up and forced them at gunpoint to drive into town to cash a check. The daughter was able to escape from the vehicle and alert bank employees and the suspects then fled the scene. They were arrested by the Pren-

tiss County Sheriff’s Department in April 2010 following a lengthy investigation. Branch was sentenced by Judge James Roberts to 20 years in prison with 12 suspended and eight to serve on each of the two counts of kidnapping with both sentences to run concurrent, 20 years in prison with 16 suspended and four to serve on each of the two counts of burglary and larceny of a

dwelling with both sentences to run concurrent and 20 years in prison with 12 suspended and 8 to serve on the charge of armed robbery. He also pleaded guilty to one count of manufacturing marijuana and was sentenced to 3 years in prison on that charge. The kidnapping sentence and the armed robbery sentence run concurrently and consecutive to the burglary sentence and the marijuana sen-

tence runs concurrent with all other sentences. He will have 12 years to serve, along with five years of post release supervision, fines, restitution and court costs. He will receive credit for the two years he has been in jail since his arrest. The daughter, Cathy Weeks, testified during Thursday’s plea hearing that the crime has Please see SENTENCE | 2A

Corinth to close street for work BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The city of Corinth plans to close a stretch of Proper Street to through traffic next week for a sewer line replacement necessary before the street is improved. The closure beginning Monday will be from the Young Street intersection to the Cruise Street intersection while the sewer department replaces 400 feet of deteriorated sewer line. The city will limit access to only those who live or work on that section of Proper. “The bulk of the sewer line to be replaced is located from just west of Fulton Street to just west of Young Street,” said Dave Huwe, director of

Teddy Bear Olympics Kindergarten students at Corinth Elementary School recently participated in the Teddy Bear Olympics. The games were 10 minutes each with kindergartners rotating as a class to each room. All games included some sort of learning activity. One of the games was sight word cake walk while another one had students, and their stuffed teddy bear pals, acting out a word they drew from a pile such as “march” or “draw,” as shown by teacher Delia Curtis. Each kindergarten teacher and assistant had a different activity in their room. Student Abby Ross shows her excitement over the Teddy Bear Olympics.

The closure will not interrupt the city’s normal garbage pickup schedule. The city has notified the school district so that bus arrangements can be made.

5 grants available for potential homebuyers BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

Those looking for a little help in taking their first step toward the American dream are encouraged to apply for assistance through a grant program aimed at homebuyers. The homebuyer assistance program offers qualified buyers up to $14,999 to be used as a down-payment on a home loan. Darlene Grimes with the Northeast Mississippi Planning and Development District (NEMPDD) explained the program is designed to help those who are ready and able to obtain a home loan but lack the down payment. Alcorn County currently has funds available to assist five more homebuyers and must close out the grant by June, so they are strongly encouraging anyone who thinks they might be eligible to obtain an application for the program.

“It is USDA’s goal to ensure that we use CRP to address our most critical resource issues.” Michael Scuse Acting Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services in CRP plant long-term, resource-conserving covers to improve the quality of water, control soil erosion and develop wildlife habitat. In return, USDA provides participants with rental payments and cost-share assistance. Contract duration is between 10 and 15 years. Producers with expiring contracts and producers with environmentally sensitive land are encouraged to evaluate their options under CRP. Producers also are encouraged to look into CRP’s other enrollment opportunities offered on a continuous, non-competitive, signup basis. Currently, about 30 million acres are enrolled in CRP; and contracts on an estimated 6.5 million acres will expire on Sept. 30. Offers for CRP contracts are ranked according to the Environmental Benefits Index (EBI). USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) collects

data for each of the EBI factors based on the relative environmental benefits for the land offered. Each eligible offer is ranked in comparison to all other offers and selections made from that ranking. FSA uses the following EBI factors to assess the environmental benefits for the land offered: ■ Wildlife habitat benefits resulting from covers on contract acreage; ■ Water quality benefits from reduced erosion, runoff and leaching; ■ On-farm benefits from reduced erosion; ■ Benefits that will likely endure beyond the contract period; ■ Air quality benefits from reduced wind erosion; and ■ Cost. Over the past 25 years, farmers, ranchers, conservationists, hunters, fishermen and other outdoor enthusiasts have made CRP the largest and one of the most important in USDA’s conservation portfolio. CRP continues to make major contributions to national efforts to improve water and air quality, prevent soil erosion by protecting the most sensitive areas including those prone to flash flooding and runoff. At the same time, CRP has helped increase populations of pheasants, quail, ducks, and other rare species, like Please see CRP | 3A

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Acting Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services (FFAS) Michael Scuse announced today that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will conduct a four-week Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general signup, beginning on March 12 and ending on April 6. CRP has a 25-year legacy of successfully protecting the nation’s natural resources through voluntary participation, while providing significant economic and environmental benefits to rural communities across the United States. “It is USDA’s goal to ensure that we use CRP to address our most critical resource issues,” said Scuse. “CRP is an important program for protecting our most environmentally sensitive lands from erosion and sedimentation, and for ensuring the sustainability of our groundwater, lakes, rivers, ponds and streams. As always, we expect strong competition to enroll acres into CRP, and we urge interested producers to maximize their environmental benefits and to make cost-effective offers.” CRP is a voluntary program available to agricultural producers to help them use environmentally sensitive land for conservation benefits.

shaken her sense of security and left her with continuing flashbacks and nightmares. “The events on June 26, 2009, have left me with an overwhelming distrust of everyone. I have never experienced such a betrayal of trust, especially in someone that we considered a family friend,” she said. Weeks said they were close to the Branch family and her father even carried a picture Branch had given him of one of his young daughters in his wallet. She said she has also seen her father deteriorate physically and emotionally over the course of the past two years and the crime has left emotional scars that have yet to heal. Weeks said she and her father have been forever changed by what happened. “I’m not sure that I will

ever be able to put this completely behind me, but I do know that it has forever changed my life,” she said. Weeks told the judge she does agree with the sentence recommended by the district attorney’s office. Roberts then imposed that recommended sentence. Branch declined to speak at the hearing but his attorney, Ronald Michael, spoke on his behalf saying his client regrets what happened and agreed to enter his plea in part based on a desire to spare the victims the stress and emotional pain that would come from having to relive what happened during a trial. “He is very remorseful for the pain here. Mr. Branch has had the ability to be a good father, a good husband and a member of the U.S. military, but unfortunately we are here now,” said the attorney. Judge Roberts told

Branch he believes the sentence received is a “pretty good deal” for him and that he should consider the fact that he could easily be facing even more serious charges. “It’s maybe only by the grace of God that you’re not here on a capital murder charge or something nearly as bad,” said Roberts. The judge said he hopes the conclusion of the case can help bring closure to all those effected by the crime. Two other defendants in the case still await sentencing. Quincy Miller and Jason Young entered guilty pleas to two counts of kidnapping, two counts of burglary and larceny of a dwelling and one count of armed robbery in October 2010. At the time both agreed to cooperate in any prosecution of Branch and their sentencing was deferred until the resolution of Branch’s case.

guilty was a strong desire to keep his daughter from having to testify in a murder trial. An agreed statement of fact read before the court said that Pegg cut his wife’s throat with a box cutter or similar instrument and shot her with a rifle before putting her in the bed of his pickup truck and driving to Alcorn County, where he again shot her, resulting in her death. The firearm was a .22-caliber rifle. The initial assault occurred in Michie, Tenn.,

before Pegg drove to the Rock Hill area of Alcorn County, where he again shot her on County Road 157. She was shot in the head and the chest, according to law enforcement reports at the time. Pegg was arrested by the Corinth Police Department, which had been alerted of a possible homicide in McNairy County. An officer spotted the suspect’s vehicle at Mississippi Highway 2 and North Shiloh Road. Police said the man yelled, “I did it! I shot her,” when he got out of the truck, and the officer found Joanna Pegg’s body in the bed of

Joanna Pegg and her seven-year-old daughter met with the defendant at a Michie residence. The daughter told police that her parents got into a verbal argument before the assault occurred. Pegg took his daughter to a relative’s home before driving to Alcorn County. Joanna Pegg, 37 at the time of her death, had worked as a Dollar General store manager in Michie, Tenn.

Hang-up calls plague 911 BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com

Prentiss County E-911 continues to remind parents about the problem of 911 hang-up calls received from children. One recent day 33 hang-up calls were received, with 27 of the calls coming from one phone, said 911 dispatcher Butch Owens. “The parent did not realize the child was play-

ing with the phone,” he said. Thanks to GPS the residence could be located. It was necessary for an officer to visit the residence and explain the parent could be charged with making abusive calls to an emergency telephone service if the hang-up calls continued. The third offense is a felony, he said. “Parents don’t realize

what their children are putting 911 dispatchers through. It can cause a real emergency call to be put on hold. When they say ‘seconds count’ in an emergency — they do count,” Owens said. Parents should teach their children to only call 911 during a real emergency, he said. Parents are also urged to remove batteries from old cell phones if they al-

low children to play with them. Even without the SIM card, 911 can still be called. There have been instances when 911 has received 40 to 50 calls a day from children playing with cell phones. The problem seems to be getting worse, he said. Last year, Prentiss County 911 received 5,339 hang-up calls, Owens said.

Ole Miss’ solar-power complex shines Special to the Daily Corinthian

OXFORD — By 11 a.m. on one recent sunny day, the Center for Manufacturing Excellence at the University of Mississippi had generated 57 kilowatt-hours of electricity, enough power to run the center’s administrative offices and classrooms, or to brew 1,986 cups of coffee. With the installation of more than 400 photovoltaic solar panels complete, the year-old building is the largest roof-mounted solar power complex in the state, said James Vaughan, CME director. A renewable energy grant from the Mississippi Development Au-

thority helped make the project possible. The $529,395 grant was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and the CME matched it with $176,465 from university funds. Joule Energy LLC of New Orleans installed multiple types of panels in December. “The first 392 solar panels produce 245 watts each, and the remaining 39 produce 340 watts apiece, which generates roughly 108 kilowatts of electricity,” Vaughan said. With its advanced construction, the CME is one of six buildings at Ole Miss certified as meeting standards of Leadership

in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, said Jim Morrison, UM director of strategic planning and campus sustainability. “With half-a-dozen LEED buildings on campus today and three Green Globe buildings under way, we are thrilled to see how these technologically advanced buildings are strengthening our ability to optimize our operational efficiency and to advance our commitment towards a more sustainable campus,” Morrison said. What’s more, having a solar-powered building is also an excellent teaching device for CME,

which offers a “hands-on education in a traditional style,” Vaughan said. CME faculty and staff have already started monitoring energy usage with an interactive kiosk, which updates stats hourly, daily or monthly. These statistics will be available on the center’s website soon, Vaughan said. The CME program began in fall 2010 with 27 freshmen from nine states. In fall 2011, 36 freshmen enrolled in the program. (For more information on the CME, contact Ryan Miller at 662-9152632 or go to http:// www.olemiss.edu/ depts/cme/index.html.)

the sage grouse, the lesser prairie chicken, and others. Highlights of CRP include: ■ CRP restored more than two million acres of wetlands and two million acres of riparian buffers; ■ Each year, CRP keeps more than 600 million pounds of nitrogen and more than 100 million pounds of phosphorous from flowing into our nation’s streams, rivers, and lakes. ■ CRP provides $1.8 billion annually to landowners—dollars that make their way into local economies, supporting small businesses and creating jobs; and ■ CRP is the largest private lands carbon sequestration program in the country. By placing vulnerable cropland into conservation, CRP sequesters carbon in plants and soil, and reduces both fuel and fertilizer usage. In 2010, CRP resulted in carbon sequestration

equal to taking almost 10 million cars off the road. In 2011, USDA enrolled a record number of acres of private working lands in conservation programs, working with more than 500,000 farmers and ranchers to implement conservation practices that clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and prevent soil erosion. Moreover, the Obama Administration, with Agriculture Secretary Vilsack’s leadership, has worked tirelessly to strengthen rural America, implement the Farm Bill, maintain a strong farm safety net, and create opportunities for America’s farmers and ranchers. U.S. agriculture is currently experiencing one of its most productive periods in American history thanks to the productivity, resiliency, and resourcefulness of our producers.

Budget requests need to stick to bottom line Mississippi’s budgeting process has drifted far, too far from the bottom line. As a prime example, we cite the state Department of Health, which contends it needs at least $30 million to meet basic needs and an additional $6 million from the state to match a $13 million grant for life-saving medications. Yet some members of the Legislature have countered with a proposed budget of less than $21 million. That would be the smallest amount the Health Department has received from legislators since 1990. State Sen. Terry Burton, R-Newton, vice chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, admits his colleagues probably will not slash their contribution to the Health Department by more than a third. Burton anticipates an appropriation of about $28 million. So why these pointless proposals and counter-proposals? Just so one side can scream while the other side squeezes? State officials have a good idea of how much tax revenue will be available to appropriate each session. So why can’t budget discussions stick to that bottom line? If it looks like revenue will be down, then no agency should expect, much less request, additional funding. Instead, agencies should trim their spending requests to match the anticipated diminished flow of tax revenue. And if revenue is projected to grow, agencies could make well-documented requests for increased funding -- although it would be preferable to wait and see if revenue really does increase. But contemplating cuts as drastic as 30 percent is pure political theater and it undermines the serious work that putting together a budget ought to be. Earning the money to pay taxes is hard work for most Mississippians. Watching state officials, whether elected or appointed, play games with how those tax dollars are spend is not entertaining. The Sun Herald, Biloxi

Letter to the Editor To the editor: Why do some elected officials wait until they are elected to show their true colors? For example, like Corinth city alderman Chip Wood. We folks in the county can’t vote on the mayor, aldermen or chief of police. But city folks can vote on district supervisors and sheriff. We are still governed by them. As for people in the county having big orange upside down buses in their yards as Wood suggested, has anyone looked at rundown property areas in Corinth? Several city streets are slums, and drive down U.S. 72 for some beautiful views in the city. There are more eyesores in town than I have seen in the county. Clean up your front porch, Alderman Wood! As for liquor, I am totally against it. It should have never been created. I can tell you for a fact it ruins families and lives. It has happened within my family. Why should people suffer because of alcohol? If a restaurant wants to come here, why do they have to sell liquor? Why can’t selling food be enough? Do we really need people going to eat and getting liquored up and then get behind the wheel of a vehicle? Don’t we have enough accidents without throwing this in the mix? Right now, if you want liquor, you have to travel for it. With gas prices high like they are, it makes people think, do I need gas or liquor? If a restaurant wants to sell liquor, do we really need this kind of place in Corinth? Do we really need another restaurant? Get us real jobs! Teresa Ellsworth Corinth

Prayer for today Gracious God, help us not to focus on past hurts but to turn our eyes to you so that we can clearly see and accept your grace. Amen.

In California, an element of farce has been added to the impending economic tragedy, if the envisioned high-speed rail system actually materializes. The first leg of the system is planned to run between Fresno and Bakersfield. If those names don’t ring a bell with you, there is a reason. They are modest-sized communities out in the agricultural San Joaquin Valley, well removed from San Francisco or Los Angeles. You can bet the rent money that high-speed rail traffic between Fresno and Bakersfield will never come within shouting distance of covering the operating costs. Some people have analogized putting such a rail line between these two towns to the infamous “bridge to nowhere” in Alaska. Why are they doing it? Because they can. If they began this project where they want it to go -between San Francisco and Los Angeles -- they would run into so much opposition from the environmentalists, and from local poli-

ticians influenced by the environmentalists, that the delays could take the highspeed rail advocates beyond the time limit for using the federal subsidy money. But the green fanatics have not yet taken over politically out in the San Joaquin Valley. The only reason for even thinking about building a high-speed rail line between Fresno and Bakersfield is just to get the project underway with federal money, making it politically more difficult to stop the larger project for a similar rail line between San Francisco and Los Angeles. In other words, they are going to start wasting money out in the valley, so that they will be able to waste more money later on, along the coast. This may not make any sense economically, but it can make sense politically for Jerry Brown and Barack Obama. An old song ended, “You’ve been running around in circles, getting nowhere — getting nowhere very fast.” On high-speed rail.

Conceived in the spirit of a bill of attainder -- let’s tax that guy -- the Buffett Rule makes about as much public policy sense as one would expect. How would it affect the federal fisc? Although the Obama administration hasn’t yet bothered to write down its signature proposal, it is estimated it will raise roughly $40 billion a year. With the Buffett Rule in effect, the deficit in fiscal year 2011 would have been $1,240,000,000,000instead of $1,280,000,000,000. Will it make the tax system fairer? The system is already fair, if by that you mean steeply progressive. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the top 1 percent pays on average 18.8 percent of its income in federal income taxes, the broad middle pays 4.2 percent and the bottom 20 percent gets more money back than it pays in. When all federal taxes are taken into account, the top 1 percent pays almost 30 percent -- Obama’s magic number. Do taxes on capital gains desperately need raising? They are already scheduled to go up, whatever happens to Warren Buffett. Obama’s health-care reform alone

will bring the capital-gains rate in 2013 to 18.8 percent. If the Bush tax cuts expire, as they are set to do in 2013, the rate will hit 25 percent. The Buffett Rule is politically seductive dressing for another increase in taxes on investment income at a time when too many businesses are sitting on cash instead of investing it. It will further complicate a tax code so intricate that, according to The New York Times, even Mitt Romney’s fearsome accountants couldn’t accurately figure out his liabilities and had him pay $44,000 more than he owed last year. It could well have perverse effects like its forebear in writing applause lines into the tax code, the alternative minimum tax; sold as a way to hit 155 rich people, the tax grew into a monster targeting the upper middle class in blue states. The Buffett Rule, in short, is a suitably meretricious proposal for a meretricious presidency. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

State Pardoned killer to fight return to Mississippi BY HOLBROOK MOHR Associated Press

JACKSON — A convicted murderer who left Mississippi after being pardoned by former Gov. Haley Barbour seems poised to fight attempts to force him to return from Wyoming. Joseph Ozment’s attorney, Robert Moxley, told The Associated Press on Thursday that he will defend Ozment’s freedom if he decides to try to stay in Wyoming. The 40-yearold is not a fugitive and no warrant has been issued for his arrest. However, a legal challenge to the pardons is headed for the Mississippi Supreme Court next week. It’s far from clear what might happen to those who were freed from prison by the pardons, such as Ozment. Ozment worked as a

trusty at the Governor’s Mansion before he was pardoned last month in the final days of Barbour’s second term. He had dropped out of sight by the time state Attorney General Jim Hood persuaded a judge to order Ozment and four others to check in daily with corrections officials and attend hearings. Initially there was no vehicle to force Ozment comply with the judge’s order because, as a civil matter and not criminal, he would first have to be served with a summons. Though Hood used the term “manhunt” to describe the search for Ozment, all his investigators could do when they found him was to serve a summons to appear for hearings in Hood’s civil lawsuit. Ozment was served with the papers Sunday in Laramie, Wyo.

“We are advising him as to all of his options and whatever he decides to do we support his decision,” said Moxley, an attorney from Cheyenne, Wyo. “We stand ready to defend this young man’s freedom come hell or high water.” During a news conference Thursday in his office, Hood said he’ll seek a contempt order if Ozment misses a court hearing, but he wouldn’t say if there’s anything he can do to enforce it in Wyoming. But if the pardons are voided, Hood said, Ozment “will be an escapee and we’ll arrest him as soon as we can lay hands on him.” Hood said that if Ozment has been reformed and is a good person, then he’ll show up to court. “We’ll see what kind of man he is,” Hood said. Matt Steffey, a constitutional law professor at Mis-

sissippi College, said there is little authorities can do to force Ozment to return at this point. Even if he missed a court hearing and was held in contempt, authorities’ ability to enforce a Mississippi contempt citation would be “extremely limited” in another state. However, if he was held in contempt and returned to Mississippi he could be arrested. “I know of no precedent or authority to remove someone against their will on the basis of a contempt citation from another state,” Steffey said. “If his pardon is ultimately invalidated, then there are avenues to seek extradition.” Ozment was sentenced to life in prison in 1994 for killing Ricky Montgomery during a robbery at a store in Desoto County, a northern Mississippi county that’s a bedroom commu-

nity south of Memphis, Tenn. Moxley called Ozment an exemplary prisoner who earned four college degrees and worked his way up to the coveted trusty position at the Governor’s Mansion. Mississippi governors for decades have traditionally given some kind of early release to those trusties. Many, like Ozment, are convicted killers. Hood is challenging the pardons based on the argument that many of the 198 people who Barbour pardoned didn’t properly publish notices for 30 days in newspapers based in communities where their crimes took place. Most of those pardoned had been out of prison for years, some since the 1960s and 1970s. Many were convicted of relatively minor crimes and have not been repeat offenders.

Ten people who received pardons were still in jail at the time. Ozment and four other Governor’s Mansion trusties were pardoned and released. But five other inmates are being held in jail on a temporary restraining order issued by Hinds County Circuit Judge Tomie Green. Green had scheduled a hearing on the matter for Friday, but the Supreme Court stepped in and took over the case late Wednesday. Moxley said he’s been disappointed by Hood’s rhetoric, including suggestions to reporters that Ozment has a white supremacist tattoo. Moxley pointed out that Ozment is engaged to a black woman who he met through a friend he made in prison. “He feels like labeling him as a member of a white supremacist group was irresponsible and reckless.”

State universities say financial aid fund running on empty Associated Press

JACKSON — Recipients of state scholarships could see their aid packages trimmed unless the Mississippi Legislature puts more money into financial aid. That includes the more than 20,000 students who receive the Mississippi Tuition Assistance Grant. That money goes to full-time students with 2.5 grade point averages. Freshmen and sophomores get $500 a year, while junior and seniors get $1,000. Gov. Phil Bryant pro-

posed holding the amount the state puts into student aid level at $26.9 million. But Higher Education Commissioner Hank Bounds told lawmakers Thursday that won’t be enough to cover the costs of all the scholarships mandated by the Legislature. Bounds also predicted that if Bryant’s budget is adopted, universities would average “doubledigit” tuition increases next fall, to try to make up the cuts the Republican governor has proposed. Bounds said that univer-

sities are also concerned about retaining good professors because pay lags averages in the South. Since financial aid was cut several years ago, officials have been using money collected from state student loan repayments to supplement scholarship funds. That’s allowing the College Board to spend more than $31 million on scholarships this year, instead of just the $26.9 million appropriated by the state. Bounds said that nest egg is being rapidly depleted, leaving the budget short of

money beginning next fall. The fund covers not only the tuition grants, but a number of other programs

Bank robber says she needed dentures Associated Press

WAYNESBURG, Pa. — A woman who appeared to not have any teeth in surveillance photos from a bank robbery last month has confessed, apologized and told police she planned the heist because

she needed the money for dentures. Evelyn Marie Fuller, 49, remained in a jail Wednesday unable to post bond on bank robbery and other charges filed a day earlier by police in Waynesburg, in western Pennsylvania,

where she’s accused of robbing the First National Bank on Jan. 20. Arresting Officer Tom Ankrom said Fuller, of Carmichaels, about 10 miles east, explained her motives when she confessed to the crime.

AG Holder, Republicans clash over documents BY PETE YOST Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder clashed with Republicans at a House committee hearing Thursday over demands that the Justice Department turn over more documents about a flawed gun-smuggling investigation. Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will do what is necessary to force the Justice Department to produce information on its handling of congressional inquiries on Operation Fast and Furious. The attorney general said he will consider Issa’s demand. But he said the department, with one exception, was inclined to follow a longstanding tradition of withholding internal documents about how to respond to congressional inquiries in order to preserve the ability to get candid advice from top officials. “I think you’re hiding behind something here,” Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., told Holder. “You ought to give us the documents. ... It appears we’re being stonewalled.” Issa has threatened to seek a contempt of Congress ruling against Holder for failing to provide the material. The lawmaker alleges the Justice Department is engaging in a cover-up. “This has become political, that’s fine,” Holder said at the hearing, but there is no attempt “at a cover-

amounts of information” about Fast and Furious itself. The department says a Feb. 9 deadline set by Issa is too soon to process “the broad scope of the committee’s requests.” Some 6,000 documents have been produced. At his daily briefing, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Holder has cooperated with Congress and “the politicization of this is pretty apparent.” He said President Barack Obama thinks Holder is doing an excellent job and won’t agree to calls by some GOP members for Holder’s ouster. Though neither side said so, negotiations are almost certain to be the next step. Before the hearing started, Issa introduced Holder to federal agent John Dodson, a whistleblower in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives who told Congress a year ago about the use of a tactic known as gun-walking in the Phoenix-based Fast and Furious investigation. This tactic allows suspected “straw” buyers of weapons to walk away from gun stores with their purchases, rather than arresting them there. Instead, agents tried to track the low-level buyers

and the guns to smuggling ringleaders and financiers, including Holder Mexican d r u g cartel leaders, who have long eluded prosecution for their role in the flow of guns into Mexico. Straw buyers are those who discreetly purchase guns on behalf of someone else. ATF’s Phoenix division has tried this tactic, with minor variations, in at least four investigations beginning in 2006 during the George W. Bush administration. It began three such probes under Bush before launching Fast and Furious in the Obama administration. All of the probes encountered problems. In Fast and Furious, agents lost track of nearly 1,400 of the more than 2,000 guns purchased by suspected straw buyers. Some 700 guns connected to suspects in the operation have been recovered in Mexico and the U.S., some at crime scenes, including the one near Nogales, Ariz., where border agent Brian Terry was murdered in December 2010. A month after Terry’s death, Congress began hearing of problems with the probe. Under pressure from lawmakers, Holder has shaken up the leadership of ATF, and the Justice Department’s inspector general also is investigating the operation.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has more than doubled, to about 21,000 names, its secret list of suspected terrorists who are banned from flying to or within the United States, including about 500 Americans, the Associated Press has learned. The government lowered the bar for being added to the list, even as it says it’s closer than ever to defeating al-Qaida. The size of the government’s secret no-fly list has jumped from about 10,000 in the past year, according to government figures provided to the AP. The surge comes as the government says it’s close to defeating al-Qaida, after killing many of its senior members. But senior officials said the threat does not stop there. “As long as we sustain the pressure on it, we judge that core al-Qaida will be of largely symbolic importance to the global jihadist movement,” Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Congress on Thursday. “But regional affiliates and, to a lesser extent, small cells and individuals will drive the global jihad agenda.” Those are the people added to the no-fly list, current and former counterterrorism officials said. Most are from other countries; about 500 are Americans. “Both U.S. intelligence and law enforcement communities and foreign services continue to identify people who want to cause us harm, particularly in the U.S. and particularly as it relates to aviation,” Transportation Security Administrator John Pistole said in an interview. Affiliated terror groups in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Algeria and elsewhere, as well as individuals who ascribe to al-Qaida’s beliefs — “All are in the mix,” said Michael Leiter, former di-

“It’s a secret list, and the government puts people on it without any explanation. Citizens have been stranded abroad.” Nusrat Choudhury ACLU Attorney rector of the National Counterterrorism Center. “And no one is claiming that they are shrinking.” The flood of new names began after the failed Christmas 2009 bombing of a Detroit-bound jetliner. The government lowered the standard for putting people on the list then scoured its files for anyone who qualified. The government will not disclose who is on its list or why someone might have been placed on it. Among the most significant new standards is that now a person doesn’t have to be considered only a threat to aviation to be placed on the no-fly list. People who are considered a broader threat to domestic or international security or who attended a terror training camp also are included, said a U.S. counterterrorism official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security matters. The Christmas attack led to other changes in how the U.S. assembles its watch list. Intelligence agencies across the government reviewed old files to find people who should have been on the government’s terror watch list all along, plus those who should be added because of the new standards put in place to close security gaps. The Nigerian man who pleaded guilty in the Christmas 2009 attack over Detroit, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, was listed in a large U.S. intelligence database that includes partial names and relatives of suspected terrorists. That database is a feeder to the broad terror watch list, of which the no-fly list is a component, but only when there

is enough information linking the person to terrorism. Officials believe the U.S. had enough information about Abdulmutallab at the time to put him on the broader terror watch list, which would have helped the intelligence community catch him. After the Christmas attack, “We learned a lot about the watch-listing process and made strong improvements, which continue to this day,” said Timothy Healy, director of the Terrorist Screening Center, which produces the no-fly list. As agencies complete the reviews of their files, the pace of growth is expected to slow, the counterterrorism official said. The American Civil Liberties Union has sued the government on behalf of Americans who believe they’re on the no-fly list and have not been able to travel by air for work or to see family. “The news that the list is growing tells us that more people’s rights are being violated,” said Nusrat Choudhury, a staff attorney working for the ACLU’s national security project. “It’s a secret list, and the government puts people on it without any explanation. Citizens have been stranded abroad.” The government will not tell people whether they’re on the list or why they’re on it, making it impossible for people to defend themselves, Choudhury said. People who complain that they’re unfairly on the no-fly list can submit a letter to the Homeland Security Department, but the only way they’ll know if they’re still on the list is to try to fly again, she said.

After employers created 200,000 jobs in December, economists said the recovery in hiring might just last. It was the sixth month in a row that there were at least 100,000 new jobs. And it was the longest streak since 2006, the year before the recession began.

The ISM looks at services

Another look at December Factory orders

The Institute for Supply Management has already reported that the manufacturing sector had its fastest growth in seven months during January. It looks next at the service sector. Economists expect the ISM to have more good news. They estimate that its service sector index rose to 53.2 from 52.6. The index covers companies like banks, health care providers and retailers. Service companies account for 90 percent of the nation’s work force.

Even though we’re already get- Month-over-month change ting readings on how manufacturing did during January, the 2.1 2.1% Commerce Department’s report est. on factory orders for December 1.5 matters. It’s broader than the department’s look at durable goods orders, which came out last week. It looks at orders for 0.1 -0.1 -0.4 food, clothing, chemicals and other goods that have a shorter life span than computers, cars J A S O N D or heavy machinery. Look for another gain.

La. Tech player dies; autopsy pending The Associated Press

RUSTON, La. — Louisiana Tech running back Tyronne Duplessis died Thursday morning after medics responded to an emergency call at his off-campus apartment. Hazel Woods, the chief investigator for the Lincoln Parish coroner’s office, said the cause of death was not yet known and an autopsy is pending. Ruston police Lt. Tim Parker said authorities are not investigating at this time and are awaiting the coroner’s report. “Tyrone was a valuable part of this football family,” Bulldogs coach Sonny Dykes said. “This is a tragic, senseless loss, but he made a lasting impact on this team, univer-

sity and everyone that knew him.” A roommate of Duplessis made the emergency call after the running back woke up with chest pain, Louisiana Tech spokesman Patrick Walsh said. The 21-year-old Duplessis, a third-year student from New Orleans, recently completed his sophomore season of eligibility. Dykes has informed his players of Duplessis’ death and the team held a meeting to discuss it. The university has also made grief counselors available to the team. “We were deeply saddened,” Louisiana Tech President Dan Reneau said. “Tyrone was not only a valu-

able member of our football program, but much more importantly, he was a valued member of the Tech Family. This is a painful loss for our campus community and our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.” Duplessis played in two games last season as he sought to come back from a knee injury that sidelined him in 2010. As a true freshman in 2009, he had 70 carries for 277 yards and returned four kickoffs for 88 yards. That season, he ran for a career-high 75 yards on 14 carries against Hawaii. He also had 17 carries for 65 yards at then-No. 9 LSU, helping Louisiana Tech hold a 13-10 lead at halftime before the Tigers

came back to win 24-16. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tyrone and his family,” Athletics Director Bruce Van De Velde said. “Tyrone was a special young man who was loved and respected by the Tech Family. He will be dearly missed, but I am sure his teammates and friends will honor and remember him through their commitment to fulfilling their potential.” Duplessis was recognized as an all-state running back at O.P. Walker High School, where he won a state championship in 2007. He is survived by his parents, George and Mary, and two siblings, George III and Levoneshia Dixon.

Two Lakers, two Clippers help L.A. fill up All-Star lists The Associated Press

NEW YORK— From Kobe Bryant to Chris Paul, Blake Griffin to Andrew Bynum, the NBA AllStar game is shaping up as an L.A. story. Two Lakers and two Clippers were voted as starters Thursday for the game, the first time in 15 years that two pairs of teammates have been voted to start for one conference. Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant prevented a clean Los Angeles sweep of the Western Conference starting lineup by earning a forward spot for the Feb. 26 game in Orlando. Dwight Howard of the host Magic — unless he’s traded first — was the overall leading votegetter with 1.6 million. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are

going together again from Miami, while MVP Derrick Rose of Chicago and New York’s Carmelo Anthony round out the East starters. The Clippers and Lakers are developing a spirited rivalry this season, but they’ll have to get along for a night to give the West a second straight win in the NBA’s midseason event. Bryant and Paul will be in the same backcourt two months after the NBA, as owners of the Hornets, killed a trade that would have sent Paul to the Lakers. Instead, he was dealt shortly after to the Clippers, and he has teamed with Griffin to make them one of the league’s most exciting and improved teams, leading the Pacific Division over their Staples Center co-tenants.

“It’s something you should take to heart, that I take to heart.” Derrick Rose Chicago Bulls Griffin and Bynum are firsttime starters, while Bryant earned his record-tying 14th consecutive nod. It’s the first time since 1997, when Houston had Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley, and Seattle sent Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp, that two pairs of teammates have been voted to start for one conference. Bryant joins Shaquille O’Neal, Jerry West and Karl Malone —

all one-time Lakers — with his 14th straight starting nod. He earned his fourth All-Star MVP award last year, equaling Bob Pettit’s NBA record. Bynum grabbed the starting center spot that for years went to Yao Ming, who retired last summer. Griffin was chosen as a reserve forward last year, when he became the first rookie All-Star since Yao in 2003. Starters were chosen by fan balloting, and none of the races was close. The reserves will be chosen by voting of the head coaches from each conference and will be announced next Thursday. Bryant led all West players with nearly 1.6 million votes. Rose collected 1.5 million to finish third among all players, a year after

becoming Chicago’s first starter since Michael Jordan. “I remember not being in the All-Star game, just wanting to be in the game. It’s something you should take to heart, that I take to heart,” Rose said before the Bulls’ game against the Knicks. “Just want to accomplish something special while I’m in the league, and one of the accomplishments is being on the AllStar team.” Howard will make his fifth consecutive start, and his status will provide much of the intrigue surrounding the event. He has told the Magic he wants to be traded and they have given his agent permission to talk to select teams, putting the franchise in a difficult position of deciding whether it should deal its star.

The Associated Press

ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Braves righthander Tommy Hanson said Thursday his right shoulder is feeling good and he expects to be on a regular routine for the start of spring training. Hanson enjoyed a strong first half of the 2011 season, posting a 10-4 record and 2.44 ERA. He made only five starts after the All-Star break due to persistent pain in the shoulder. A small tear was found in his right rotator cuff that did not require surgery. He was 1-3 with an 8.10 ERA after the break. He did not pitch after Aug. 6. Hanson resumed throwing last month. He said before working out at Turner Field Thursday his outlook for the season continues to rise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely feel a lot more optimistic now than a couple months ago or even last month,â&#x20AC;? he said. Hanson said he is throwing on his normal offseason schedule and expects that to continue when Braves pitchers and catchers report to spring training on Feb. 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on a normal schedule right now and I feel good, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that will change,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on a normal schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My shoulder feels really good. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been off the mound a couple times and it feels really good.â&#x20AC;? The 6-foot-6 Hanson walked into the clubhouse with a thick beard and his hair reaching almost to his shoulders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to cut it all off,â&#x20AC;? he said with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let me keep it.â&#x20AC;? Hansonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hair was the least of his worries when last season ended. There were concerns the shoulder might require surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no idea last time I talked to you guys what was going to happen or how I was going to feel,â&#x20AC;? he told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m definitely glad that I feel good now and everything has been going good and I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be on a normal schedule.â&#x20AC;? Hanson is an important part of the rotation. He has won at least 10 games in each of his three seasons and has a career 32-22 record with a 3.28 ERA. He was on pace for his best season before the shoulder problems. He said he worked this winter on back exercises designed to help his shoulder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just going to be a constant thing with my back,â&#x20AC;? he said of the new routine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not bothering me now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing all my exercises theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been having me do, and it seems to help.â&#x20AC;? Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez and pitching coach Roger McDowell also will be closely watching Tim Hudson and Jair Jurrjens when camp opens. Hudson had surgery in November to repair a herniated disk in his back. Thanks to a troublesome right knee, Jurrjens, like Hanson, spent most of the last two months of the 2011 season on the disabled list.

Lady Vols falter at home against South Carolina BY BETH RUCKER Associated Press

Associated Press

Pat Summitt, Tennessee womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach, sits on the sideline in the first half of Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Southeastern Conference game against South Carolina in Knoxville, Tenn. South Carolina beat the No. 8-ranked Vols, 64-60.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At the beginning of the season, the Tennessee Lady Volunteers said they wanted to win a championship in honor of coach Pat Summitt. Instead, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just finding new ways to frustrate her and the rest of their coaches. The eighth-ranked Lady Vols lost to 64-60 to South Carolina on Thursday night, marking their first Southeastern Conference home loss in four seasons and first loss to the Gamecocks since 1980. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew what they could do. We just were flat, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an answer for it. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an answer for it,â&#x20AC;?

associate head coach Holly Warlick said, shaking her head. Tennessee (16-6, 7-2) boasts the toughest schedule in the nation this season but has been flat against many of the stronger opponents it has faced in the first season since Summitt announced sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been diagnosed with early onset dementia, Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s type. Already this season, the Lady Vols ended their two-year SEC winning streak with a loss at Kentucky. They suffered their secondworst margin of defeat and logged their lowest point total ever in a loss at Notre Dame. Tennessee hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dropped a SEC game

at home since a loss to LSU on Feb. 14, 2008, and hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost to South Carolina since a 5652 victory on Jan. 23, 1980, when Warlick was a point guard for Tennessee. The Lady Vols had won 40 straight meetings since then, the second longest streak by one team over another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad our players got a chance to experience this experience, knowing the tradition of Tennessee,â&#x20AC;? South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By far, this is the biggest win of my career.â&#x20AC;? During the team shootaround on Thursday, Staley, South Carolina assistant coach and former Lady Vol

Nikki McCray and the rest of the Gamecocks presented to Summittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Tyler a $20,000 check to the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association in honor of the Hall of Fame coach. The Gamecocks (18-5, 7-3) were down 60-55, when Ashley Bruner hit a layup with 3:18 to play. The basket launched a 9-0 South Carolina run to close out the game, and Ieasia Walker hit the goahead layup with 2:15 to play. The Lady Vols had led 57-50 with 5:02 to play in the back-and-forth game, but a layup by Walker and a 3-pointer by Grant, one of seven by the senior, fired up the Gamecocks bench.

No. 12 Florida tops Gamecocks for 6th straight BY MARK LONG Associated Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kenny Boynton scored 24 points, Bradley Beal had his fourth double-double and No. 12 Florida beat South Carolina 7466 Thursday night for its sixth consecutive victory. The Gators (18-4, 6-1 Southeastern Conference) swept the Gamecocks (9-12, 1-6) for the first time since 2008 and extended their home-winning streak to 18 games. Florida had to grind one out. The Gators led by 17 points

midway through the first half, but South Carolina slowly whittled it down to five with 2:51 remaining. Brenton Williams had a chance to make it a five-point game with 1:13 remaining, but he missed the first of two free throws. Williams also had a costly turnover on the previous possession. He was 2-of-9 shooting. Florida made 11 of 12 free throws in the final 1:09 to close it out. Bruce Ellington led South Carolina with 15 points. Damontre Harris and Malik Cooke

added 12 each. The Gamecocks squandered several chances in the final few minutes. Maybe the toughest to swallow was when Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Erving Walker came up with a loose ball â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Gators seemingly got all of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and found Beal slicing through the lane. Beal dunked the ball, got fouled and completed the three-point play to put the Gators up 59-50. Beal finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Walker had 14 points, seven assists and four rebounds.

The Gators built their big lead with a huge rebounding advantage and by making four of their first seven 3-point attempts. But they went cold from long range in the second half and finished 7 of 28 from behind the arc. South Carolina couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take advantage after digging a huge hole. Florida dominated the opening 10 minutes. The Gators made 3-pointers, got every loose ball and took advantage of a 14-1 rebounding margin to build a 27-10 lead.

Chamber amends constitution ‘Looking for a master . . . ’ (Source: The Vidette, Iuka, July 29, 1965) C of C first meeting of year has good turn-out; committees named; constitution amended At the annual meeting of the Iuka Chamber of Commerce held Tuesday night at Sands restaurant, approximately 25 members voted to amend the organization’s constitution and by-laws to suit current situations. P.O. Beard, newly elected president, presided, and expressed his appreciation for the honor of being named to lead the Chamber of Commerce. Among other business conducted was the assigning of members to various committees. Named to the Industrial committee were Norvel Counce, chairman, Cecil Brown, Frank Crossett, Elmus Curtis, and E. C. Holtsford. Named on the Finance committee were Bob Brown, chairman, Elmus Curtis, H. F. chambers, F. L. Oaks, and Troy Holtsford. Named on the Merchants committee were Frank Burns, chairman, C. B. Reid, Leon Phillips, Charles Robbins, and H. W. McGill. Named on the Membership committee were Clyde Plaxico, chairman, E. C. Bonds, Bobby King, Kell Milligan, and W. J. Pyle. Named to the Legislative committee were Kelly Segars, chairman, J. C. Byrd, Sam Kimberley, H. M. Biggs, and George Page. Named to the Agriculture committee were Percie Stricklen, chairman, Bill Brinkley, W. A. Rhodes, L. C. Moser, V. L. Adams, and Frank Shoffner. Named to the Program committee were Ben McRae, chairman, Gene Jourdan, Sanders James, Travis McGaughy, and Auston Curtis. One point brought up in discussion was the fact that, according to the con-

stitution and bylaws, during recent years, the full number of direcRaNae tors has not Vaughn been elected. This Historically the Speaking was case in the recent election. Therefore, President Beard, acting in accordance with the constitution, appointed eight additional members to the board to conform with constitution requirements. Those elected this year were Norvel Counce, Cecil Brown, Paul Edmondson and George Page. Members appointed as directors at Tuesday night’s meeting were Reuben Grisham, E. C. Holtsford, Frank Burns, Dewitt Bean, Bill Moore, Sam Curtis, Percie Stricklen and James L. Broughton. Twelve members comprise the board of directors. Another item of business was the annual Christmas parade. The group voted unanimously to sponsor a parade this coming Christmas. Only stipulation was that plans be formulated no later than August so that ample time will be allowed for all clubs, groups, and individuals who wish to participate will be notified so they may arrange their schedules. The Christmas parade was assigned to the program committee to work out details and supervise all aspects of the project. Also, to come before the membership meeting was Iuka trade days promotion. This project was assigned to the Merchant’s committee headed by Frank Burns. This committee is to determine the kind of sales promotion and set a date or dates. The president read a letter that had been received from the Albuquerque,

N. M., Chamber of Commerce announcing plans for appreciation night for the Albuquerque Dodgers. The letter stated that each played on the team would be recognized and suggested that the Iuka Chamber of Commerce might wish to contribute a gift that would be presented to Iuka’s Tommy Dean who is now playing shortstop for the Albuquerque Dodgers. In the discussion that followed, it was pointed out that Iuka had great pride in Tommy and that publicity given Iuka and all of Mississippi by his skill as a player was of great value. A motion was made, seconded and carried that the Chamber of Commerce send a $25.00 Savings Bond to be presented to Tommy during the Appreciation Night ceremonies in Albuquerque. The program will be held on Monday night, August 9. A motion was also made and carried that the Iuka Chamber of Commerce discontinue use of the signs at the intersection of the highways. It was pointed out that these signs cost $24.00 a month and that since they had been up 2 years, further use would be of very little benefit. The group also voted to increase activity in the Mississippi Merit Community program. This had been a project of the Chamber but in recent months action has been at a standstill. President Beard pointed out that the constitution and by-laws designated 4 membership meetings a year and that the board of directors is to meet one time each month. He announced that the next membership meeting will be held in October.

I’m a pet lover, pure and simple. I’m fond of all the standard types – dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, even goats. I’m less enamored with those you can’t hug, like slimy little fish and snakes, although I know folks who swear they’ve bonded with both. I’m not big on messy birds either, but I’ve known people who adore their birds, like a friend’s elderly aunt whose parrot, Will, finally keeled over and broke his neck following too much love and affection ... and chocolate, my friend suspects. Once Will had torn up a Styrofoam cup after devouring a heaping helping of chocolate ice cream. He liked to do that, eat the ice cream and then tear the cup to shreds. My friend was squatting, cleaning up the mess, when Will flew down and parked nearby to observe the clean-up. “Whatcha doin’?” he squawked. “Whaddaya think I’m doing, you — bird?” my friend squawked back. This was standard behavior for Will, and he was lucky, according to my friend, that his neck wasn’t broken years earlier than the date of the fatal fall. So yeah, there are pets ... and then there are pets. I listened to “Fresh Air” on Public Radio the other day. An author/animal expert was being interviewed, mainly about his new book on dog discipline, but he also revealed his strange (okay, I thought it was strange) attraction to rats. He has several pet rats, and he gushed

at length about what delightful pets they are. U p o n l o ng Beth intoo k i the Jacks subject of rats Snippets pet further, I discovered that thousands of relatively sane folks in the U.S. have rats for pets, including celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Nicole Richie, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kim Basinger, Clint Eastwood and Paris Hilton. Paris Hilton? Well, I said “relatively sane.” And I’m not talking about hamsters. Hamsters and rats aren’t the same. I had hamsters when I taught school, much to hubby G-Man’s distress (he chased one with a broom one night), and they’re different. No, sir, I don’t do rats, but if the idea interests anybody, I can tell you some stuff. I have done my homework on rats. Here are facts from About.com: The average life span of a rat is two to three years, although the longest living pet rat (according to the Guinness Book of World Records) didn’t expire ’til past his seventh birthday. His name was Rodney. Their furry little bodies are usually from 9 to 11 inches, but the tail adds another 7 to 9 inches. Lovely. Males are called bucks, females are does, and babies are pups or kittens. Awww… Rats reach puberty at six to eight weeks of age, and females go into heat every four to five days. The females may seem agitated or restless during this time. No comment. According to leading

animal behavior experts, rats are smart and social, curious, quickly tamed and easy to care for, although they need at least an hour of free time out of their cages to roam and romp around the house -nice if you like the patter of little feet. And they’re nocturnal, which means they like to scamper here and there after dark. Rats love to nibble playfully on their masters -- obviously that would be a distraction in the middle of the night. Because they’re social animals, they need other rats for company. A pet lover shouldn’t have just one. Groups are ideal. (Yeah, like fire ants.) What about physical characteristics? Is this important? Sure. You want a firm, wellrounded body on your animal, and the nose, ears, eyes and rear end should be “clean and free from discharge.” I should say so. “Many owners,” says the article at About.com, “compare the companionship of a rat to a dog.” So if you’re seeking something lovable and your Chihuahua is too big, scout the ratteries in your area -- or you might consider adoption. There actually are shelters that care for orphaned rats, but you must be careful because those that are rescued might be “skittish and shy.” Never fear, if you’re patient you can calm the aggressive ones. Wear gloves ... and, oh yeah, hide the broom from your spouse/roommate! (Beth Boswell Jacks is a freelance writer and newspaper columnist from Cleveland.

For more information, call Chris Grimes, 662415-6987.

Do you take your children to church? A sad situation that happens m o s t e v e r y Sunday Gary morning Andrews is when parents Devotionals send their children to church to learn from the fellowship, the Bible teachings and the sermons of the preachers, but will not darken the doors themselves. They feel they are doing their parental duty of ensuring their children go to church, and to some extent they are. They have a desire their children learn about God instead of teaching them about God. On many occasions these children are forced to go and on these same occasions these children build up a resistance to God’s word that will stay with them throughout their entire life. The greatest gift and expression of love par-

Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday - Mark 5: 18-20; Monday - Acts 10: 1-2; Tuesday - Acts 16: 31-34; Wednesday - 1 Timothy 3: 4-5; Thursday - Proverbs 15: 27; Friday - Proverbs 31: 10-15; Saturday Luke12:49-53 ents can give their children about church, is to take them and be a part of the fellowship. It should be a family time. It should be a time when the mother and father express their belief in Jesus and not afraid to tell the world. Their children should see this in them. Many of the broken homes in today’s society could have been salvaged had these families gone to church and worshiped together. Today’s youth, either through their being forced to attend church against their will or not being taken to church at all, only learn what the world is about and, sometimes, will never hear about the saving grace of Jesus Christ. The world simply doesn’t teach it in the open anymore.

What is worse in today’s society is that the liberals and atheists have taken a stand to rid Christ out of schools, government offices, and work places, because they are offended. In most cases these people were probably raised without Christian parents. In some cases these adults of today may have had Christian parents who forced them to go to church and forced religion down their throat until they pushed it away. In today’s society look at what these people are doing to all of the people through their complaining and law suits. What greater love can there be on earth than parents loving their children enough to share the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Re-enforcing

this love is the taking of your children to church and worshipping with them. Teaching them right from wrong is best learned from example. The family that prays together stays together! In Mark 5:19 Jesus said, “Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he had had mercy on you.” Prayer: Lord God I pray that everyone will have the opportunity to know you personally. I pray that I will not be a deterrent to anyone about loving and knowing you. Amen. (Corinth native Gary Andrews is a religion columnist for the Daily Corinthian.

N.Y. student loses case involving religious message in speech BY DAVID L. HUDSON JR. A school district in Craryville, N.Y., did not violate a former middle school student’s First Amendment rights when the principal told her to omit religious sentiments from her speech at a graduation-type event, a federal court has ruled. The student, known in court papers as A.M., earned the right as copresident of her class to deliver a message at the annual “Moving Up Cer-

emony” in 2009 at Taconic Hills Central School District. A.M. asked her English teacher to review her proposed speech. The last line of the speech read: “As we say our goodbyes and leave middle school behind, I say to you, may the Lord bless you and keep you; make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.” The English teacher

told A.M. to consult with the principal. Her school counselor gave her similar advice. Principal Neil Howard allegedly told A.M. that the last line “sounded too religious” and should be omitted. A.M.’s mother requested that Superintendent Mark Sposato review the matter. Sposato agreed with Howard. A.M. delivered her message without the last line at the event. Soon, however, she

sued the school district, Howard and Sposato in federal court, contending that they violated her free-speech rights. Specifically, she alleged that they discriminated against her on the basis of her religious viewpoint. U.S. District Judge Gary L. Sharpe of the Northern District of New York granted the school defendants summary judgment in his Jan. 23 ruling in A.M. v. Taconic Hills Central School District.

Sharpe said the school had a legitimate educational purpose in preventing the religious message from being spoken. Sharpe noted that the school district had received complaints about a Christmas tree from the parents of a Jewish student and complaints from the parents of a Jehovah’s Witness student regarding the school’s Halloween activities. “Given the past complaints Taconic received

from the parents of the Jewish and Jehovah’s Witness students, and their desire to avoid violating the Establishment Clause, its decision to edit the last sentence of A.M.’s speech was reasonable,” he wrote.

The person in charge of the church email added me to the announcements list, and sent every email as a cc instead of a blind copy. Now people I never gave my email address to (and would not have given it to) are replying “all,” sending messages to everyone and emailing me directly. It bothers me that they do this.

Horoscopes by Holiday BY HOLIDAY MATHIS When Neptune was first discovered in 1846, the gassy giant was shifting from Aquarius to Pisces — like he is now. Today, Neptune moves into the spiritual water sign of Pisces, and this time, he’s planning to stay for 14 years. ARIES (March 21-April 19). The balance of nature requires that nothing is “all good.” That’s why you fully appreciate the examples of extreme kindness and integrity that show up in your life today. TAURUS (April 20May 20). There are things you wouldn’t recommend to your friends or family but that you choose for yourself nonetheless. It’s a function of being intimately acquainted with your own taste and tolerances. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You appreciate one who is charming and clever, but what you love most is when those qualities are coupled with a large dose of practicality. It’s the doers who change the world. CANCER (June 22July 22). You’ll be creative. Much of what you dream up would take so much time and energy to pull off, that you’d hardly find joy in it. But there’s

at least one idea that you can implement now to instantly improve your life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is nothing to be resolved in this day’s work. Rather, you’ll get the most out of the day if you keep exploring. You’ll enjoy testing out your various options and courting new ambitions as well. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Plan a trip, preferably involving a plane. An aerial view of your life on earth will have an expansive influence on your mindset. The bigger you think, the bigger you’ll accomplish. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). New patterns are forming in your life. It will be nearly impossible to tell where you are in a cycle until you’re reasonably deep in the sequence. Stay aware; assume the best and march on. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). There will be much that gets lost as people try to relay information verbally. Written correspondence is better, but the best way of all is to show how everything relates in action. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are being subtly influenced to step up your game. You realize that the competition is stiff and that the other players are in it to

win. You’ll send quiet signals that say, “Bring it on.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You might not be entirely proud of your production level thus far this week, but go easy on yourself. You tend to forget that you need recreation in your life, too. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Depending on the route, a step sideways is sometimes the best way to move up. You could really use a map, at least figuratively. Ask around to see if anyone knows the lay of the land. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Know what your unique offerings are. Not everyone can do what you’re doing. Others may have the resources, but they don’t think like you, and that’s what makes the difference. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 3). You’re not afraid to surrender yourself to admiration, and your enthusiasm attracts new connections and friends. Financial and personal growth opportunities come to you in March. You’ll stand behind your loved ones in April and cause them to strive. You’ll make a game-changing discovery in May. WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES:

You’ll say what you feel and be received in the best possible way. TAURUS: You’ll give positive feedback and raise the esteem of someone for whom you care deeply. GEMINI: You’ll provide many kinds of support for the one you love, including financial. CANCER: Keep giving where you see a need. Someone is falling in love with your heart of gold. LEO: You’ll try new things, and you may not like them, but you’ll be invigorated by the experience. VIRGO: Your investigations will prove fruitful. LIBRA: Being loved is about feeling good about yourself when you’re with the other person. SCORPIO: You have a genuine interest in getting to know people, so you’ll find it easy to strike up conversations. SAGITTARIUS: Your fiery passion will have the perfect target. CAPRICORN: Everyone needs to feel worshiped once in a while, and it’s your turn. AQUARIUS: Someone is making you wait for what you want. PISCES: You love people for who they are.
