Volunteers Oh my gosh! Warriors win!!! prepare site for battle reenactment Volunteers from the Armies of Tennessee are working to prepare the battleground for the upcoming 150th Battle of Shiloh reenactment, one of two living history events slated to commemorate the Shiloh Sesquicentennial. At the reenactment site near Michie, Tenn., crews are working to clear areas for the battleground and camp sites, stockpiling hay for cavalry reenactors’ horses and running pipes to make fresh water accessible on the field, said Paul Alford, brigadier general of the Armies of Tennessee. The topography of the site coincides with key positions on the historic battlefield a few miles away, he said. “We’re right outside of Michie on close to 600 acres that’s almost identical to the Killing Field, the Sunken Road and the Bloody Pond at Shiloh,” Alford explained. The same site was used for the 140th and 145th Shiloh reenactments. Over 4,000 reenactors have signed on for the event. With the large number of “walk-ins” organizers are expecting, the number could increase to over 6,000. Alford said the Shiloh Sesquicentennial — the 150th anniversary of the battle — is contributing to the high level of interest and participation in the reenactment. “This is the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh, so it’s going to be a really big deal,” he

Avery Greene, the 4-year-old daughter of Corinth High School Head Basketball Coach Keith Greene, reacts to the Warriors’ 58-55 victory Monday night over Bay High School at the MSHAA State Tournament in the Mississippi Coliseum. Corinth is one of many Crossroads area teams playing for state basketball championships this week. Walnut and New Site battle for the 2A girls’ title today at 1 p.m.; area division foes Ripley and Belmont play for the girls’ 3A title at 7 p.m. tonight; while current state champ Booneville takes on Kemper County tonight at 8:30 p.m. for the boys’ 3A championship. Friday’s matchups for all the marbles include Biggersville vs. Coldwater at 2:30 p.m. for the boys’ 1A title; and Corinth takes on Amanda Elzy at 8:30 p.m. for the 4A title. Amanda Elzy is the team Corinth beat for the North Half Championship.

After riding a wave into the U.S. Congress in the 2010 mid-term election, Rep. Alan Nunnelee is making his case for reelection. The Tupelo Republican recently visited Corinth on a busy campaign day that included stops in New Albany, Ripley and Tishomingo County. Facing a contested Republican primary on March 13 and a Democratic challenger awaiting in the Nunnelee fall, Nunnelee said he expects the top issues of the campaign to be cutting federal spending, promoting job creation and repeal of the 2010 health care reform act. He believes he had a good first year, which included 21 town hall meetings in the district to get in touch with the people. “I’ve also spent this year learning the legislative process,” said Nunnelee. “I feel very fortunate — I was named to be on the appropriations committee as a freshman. That’s something that is very, very rare, particularly at a time when we shrunk the appropriations committee. I think I’ve laid the foundation to be in a position to represent north Mississippi and help make a difference.” His subcommittee assignments include agriculture, energy & waPlease see NUNNELEE | 2

Crossroads Antique Show makes debut in April BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Event organizers for the Antiques Crossroads Show — a spin-off of the popular and award-winning Green Market — are emphasizing the upcoming event’s purpose. “We want to be sure that people know it’s a shopping market,” said Program Director Karen Beth Martin. “It’s pretty much just like the Green Market, but instead of hand-made and home grown, we will be selling antiques.” The Antiques Crossroads Show will be held from 8 a.m.

“We want to be sure that people know it’s a shopping market. It’s pretty much just like the Green Market, but instead of hand-made and home grown, we will be selling antiques.” Karen Beth Martin CACVB program director until 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 21, at the Green Market location by the Crossroads Museum. The event’s name is a localized nod to the long-running PBS series “Antiques Roadshow.” But unlike the “Antiques Roadshow,” the Antiques Crossroads Show is all about buying and selling antiques

— not just appraising them. Martin, a long-time antiques enthusiast, said the new event was inspired by the many phone calls she has received from people wanting to sell antiques at the Green Market. Unlike Green Market, there will be no geographical limitations for vendors. Anyone from

anywhere can be a seller, Martin said, as long as they’re selling quality antiques. “We want to have a really high quality antique market,” she said. “We want items to be of a high quality, but that doesn’t mean it has to be all designer stuff — we just don’t want a bunch of broken bits and

pieces of stuff out there.” All items for sale at the Antiques Crossroads Show must be at least 20 years old. No reproductions or repurposed items are allowed. Item eligibility will be judged by members of the organizing committee. Collectible items — such as Strawberry Shortcake, Troll Dolls, Precious Moments, Coca-Cola, etc. — must not make up more than 25 percent of a vendor’s booth. This is also at the discretion of the organizing committee and will be moniPlease see ANTIQUES | 2

Saaaaaa-lute! Hee Haw show celebrates 25th year BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — A 25-year tradition in McNairy County will return this weekend with three performances of Hee Haw. The comedy and music shows will be held at McNairy Central’s Little Theatre as a benefit for the American Cancer Society. Hee Haw has been a staple in the spring every year in McNairy County since the first show was held in 1987. This program always serves as a great fundraiser for Relay For Life. Hee Haw raised over $18,000 last year and an average of over $23,000

annually over the past 12 years. The shows have generated over $600,000 for the ACS in the past 24-years. The fun will begin tonight at 6:30 p.m. with the Modern Woodmen special admission of $3. The Friday and Saturday shows begin at 6:30 p.m. Tickets cost $5, $3 for children and preschool children will be admitted free. “We are excited about doing the shows because we enjoy making people laugh,” said Jill Steele, who plays Nurse Goodbody and is the publicity director for Hee Haw. This will be

ter, and military construction & veterans — all important to the first congressional district, he said. Nunnelee believes he is well-qualified to continue to represent the district. He noted he has lived in the region for all of his life except about five years when he worked in Tennessee. “Secondly,” he said, “I started a small business. I know the challenges that come with starting a small business.” In the 1990s, he and his father founded Allied Funeral Associates and Allied Funeral Associates Insurance Company. He served 16 years in the Mississippi Senate for district 6 before his election to Congress. “I chaired the appropriations committee at what was the most difficult time in our state’s history since the Great Depression, and I think that’s helped me as I’ve gone to Washington,” said Nunnelee. When he took office in January 2011, he said

the general mood was that Washington had lost touch. “I still think the biggest issue on people’s mind is runaway federal spending, and this freshman class has been a part of changing the direction in Washington,” he said. “For the first time since the end of World War II, we have cut discretionary spending for two years in a row. We have changed the tone of the debate, and now the debate is not over how much more can we spend. The debate is, ‘OK, how much are we going to cut?” But he is opposed to shutting down the government, which he described as an extreme approach. “I think it’s irresponsible to shut down the government, particularly to shut down pay and supplies to men and women in the military,” he said. “That’s why I was willing to vote for some things that were less of a cut in spending than I would have preferred.” The representative said he will continue to oppose the health care

reform act and has voted 26 times either to repeal or defund it. He said the act “is a severe strain on job creation. Small businesses are afraid to hire people because they are afraid of what regulations are going to be put in place that will force them to provide additional benefits for new employees that they can’t afford to pay. Secondly, ‘Obamacare’ is going to gut Medicare ... and it’s going to ruin one of the best health care systems the world has ever known.” While there are difficult issues ahead, such as how to preserve Social Security, Nunnelee believes the American people are willing to accept some possibly uncomfortable changes. “I think the attitude of the country,” he said, “is, ‘Yes, I want to make sure that we as a country do the [challenging] things so that I hand off the country I inherited — a country where I know my grandchildren will be free; a country where I know my grandchildren will have the opportunities that I had.”

said. Work on the site is “coming right along,” he said, with the reproduction 19th century buildings already in place. Another work day at the site is scheduled for March 17. The Armies of Tennessee’s reenactment is scheduled for Friday, March 30, through Sunday, April 1. It will include “skirmishes” — non-historical battles for reenactors — on Friday night and Saturday morning, followed by recreations of key scenes from the Battle

of Shiloh on Saturday and Sunday. Reenactors will portray the battle’s opening on Fraley Field and the Confederate offensive that drove the Federal army back on the first day as well as the action at the Sunken Road and the Hornet’s Nest, featuring a 65-cannon recreation of Ruggles’ Battery. Sunday’s reenactment will portray the Union counterattack and resultant Confederate retreat from the field. “It’s all going to be within the scenario of the actual battle. It’s going to go basically like the Battle of Shiloh,” Alford said.

Alford emphasized that the Armies of Tennessee’s 150th Battle of Shiloh is a family-friendly event and encouraged reenactors to bring their wives and children. “Armies of Tennessee always holds familyfriendly events,” he said. “It’s going to be a really good time for all who are involved.” Primitive and modern camp sites will be available.

Kossuth Elementary School and school’s PTC recently collected non-perishable and canned food items for AMEN Food Pantry. It was not only a service to the community, but a way of showing the students the gift of giving back to others who are in need. The donation box, which was placed in Mrs. Traci Underwood’s art class, was filled to the brim by the end of donation time.

Pickin’ on the courthouse square has moved to a new location for the winter months to the old East Corinth School auditorium, corner of Third and Meeks Streets. Admission is free but a donation is taken for heating expenses to be able to get into a good warm place for the winter months. Pickin’ starts at 7 p.m. every Thursday night.

Aniston can’t save ‘Wanderlust’ Wanderlust, R, Jennifer Aniston, Paul Rudd, Alan Alda, Ken Marino, Joe Lo Truglio. Universal film; Director David Wain; length -98 minutes “Wanderlust” does not make the grade, despite the fact Jennifer Aniston always seems to draw a movie audience. I enjoy her humor and she is a beautiful woman. However, this movie cannot be salvaged with her presence. The premise appeared to be a fun look at the 1960s counterculture about hippies and dropping out of society for a less stressful existence. Unfortunately, “Wanderlust” did not give the audience very much of an in-depth story. It is full of vulgarity, drug use, nudity, and without sensible comedy. The dialogue is extremely elementary. The “R” rating should be for “rauncy.” The plot’s main characters are George (Paul Rudd) and Linda (Jennifer Aniston) who are married and living in New York City. The couple decide to purchase a mini loft close to a coffee shop where Paul enjoys the coffee. Mini loft really means “small.” George loses his job and Linda has not found herself yet. She has attempted several different occupations without success. Her last job was creating a documentary about penguins that she

tries to sell to HBO. A f t e r George and Linda discuss their preTerry dicament Burns they decide to visMovie Critic it George’s brother Rick (Ken Marino) in Atlanta. On their way to Atlanta they are accidentally forced to stay overnight at a commune called “Elysium.” Everyone there lives in the “hippy” past. Drugs, nudity, yoga and free love reign. The couple finally gets back on the road again for their trip to Rick’s house in Atlanta. Rick has a successful portable toilet business and probably the most disgusting individual in the world. George decides he cannot take anymore of Rick. He convinces Linda to return to those days of yesteryear where the hippies roam and the crazies play all day. He decides to give up the hustle and bustle of work life and commune with nature. It turns out George is not cut out for this lifestyle. George decides very quickly, he is not cut out for this lifestyle, but, alas, Linda has connected with this flashback from the 60s. She has tasted the Kool-Aid, and decides it is a hippie’s life for her.

“Wanderlust” is a movie on high octane ridiculousness. The question-mark star rating I have given the movie has to do with the final message of the movie. I struggled to find a positive comment about “Wanderlust.” The only redeeming factor in the entire movie is the message at the end, but the movie is not worth enduring to discover it.

Legislation reinforces stereotypes Mississippi’s Republican House members can say they have had their fun with an antiimmigrant bill, making a statement, while “checking off” one more item on their political wish list. But any more efforts this session to pass an Arizona-style law that is guaranteed to be opposed by the federal government, and only serve tarnish Mississippi’s reputation, should be shelved. State lawmakers have only to look to Alabama at how that fellow Southern state and neighbor has suffered for passing such a law. Implementation of parts of the law has been halted as federal courts review them; and much of what it passed is likely to be thrown out if the U.S. Supreme Court eventually rules on the Arizona law that modeled it. Why cause such confusion? Why subject this state to the same conflicts and turmoil, and for what? Don’t Mississippi lawmakers have enough serious issues to confront, such as dealing with a harsh economic situation? And such a bill could worsen that, too: A University of Alabama study found that Alabama’s law could cost that state $2.3 billion annually and result in the loss of 70,000140,000 jobs. Already in Mississippi, those opposing the House bill are garnering headlines. As The Associated Press reported, about 100 people gathered at the Capitol recently to protest. “The intent of the bill is to drive people of out of Mississippi, Latinos in particular. And we call that ethnic cleansing,” Bill Chandler, director of the Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance, said during the rally at the Capitol. The longer House Bill 488 stays alive in this legislative session, the more it will gain attention nationally by those looking to link current thinking with the old dark days of Mississippi segregation. Already, a “Walk Against Fear 2012” is planned March 11 to recreate James Meredith’s Walk Against Fear during the civil rights movement, to link the plight of immigrants (legal and illegal) and other historically oppressed groups. The House is only feeding such damaging comparisons. Mississippi has long worked to repair its reputation for the racial prejudice in the 1960s. Regardless of great strides, it sometimes seems an uphill battle. Do state lawmakers really want to reinforce old stereotypes just to make a partisan point? Do Mississippians want to pay that price? — The Clarion-Ledger, Jackson

But, if it is a bill to provide American soldiers with the equipment they need to fight a war, and somebody has put into it an earmark for a federal boondoggle in his district, are you going to vote against that bill and let American soldiers go into battle without all the equipment and supplies they need? Taking advantage of the public’s lack of knowledge is something that Barack Obama already does very effectively in his political propaganda. But is that something the Republicans want to imitate? It has worked during the primary season, when the media are perfectly happy to see Republicans destroying each other. But it will not work in the general election campaign, when even truthful criticisms of the president will have a hard time getting out through the media, which hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil when it comes to Obama. The pettiness and mudslinging during the Republican primary campaigns is especially irresponsible during a time when there are very serious problems that need to be addressed in a serious way. Discussions of particular

issues, one by one, often miss the larger point that goes beyond the issue at hand — namely, this administration’s steady movement toward arbitrary government that circumvents the Constitution. Nothing demonstrates this more starkly than the president’s arbitrary power to waive the requirement that employers have to provide ObamaCare coverage for their workers. That can be the difference between paying, or not paying, millions of dollars. What does that mean for anybody’s other rights? What does freedom of speech mean if criticizing the administration can mean you get no exemption, while your competitor who keeps quiet, or who praises the administration, gets a waiver? The Constitution requires “equal protection of the laws” for a reason. And what about nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran, the world’s leading sponsor of international terrorism? Is that not worth discussing in something other than sound bites?

Bush said his mother made him eat broccoli, but he never liked it. When he became president, he said it meant he no longer had to eat it. So people who might have been taken to religious services as children are now grown up and many feel they no longer have to “stomach” faith, or conform to a standard outside themselves. Some who grew up in a secular household are spiritually deaf. A general cultural morality is fast disappearing. The God gap will not be shrunk by politicians, though to rally “the base” they often talk as if it can. The goal of cultural transformation has historically been the work of clergy, whose “hellfire” messages scared people awake from their comfortable and what used to be called “sinful” lives. But this was before having a baby without a husband became an acceptable thing to do. Too many of today’s clergy seem preoccupied with

building personal empires and monstrous buildings. They go on costly TV instead of investing in the less visible “work of the church,” which is people, not brick and mortar. The first Christians met in homes, not megachurches. They took care of each other and did not rely on government to sustain them. Many pastors today dislike sermons about sin and repentance because it makes people uncomfortable. And so we get instead the discomfort of social decay and an ever-widening God gap. Materialism and pleasure contribute to social rot. Social rot precedes national decline. These have become our twin false gods; contemporary “golden calves,” as unable to produce satisfaction as the idols of biblical times. Most politicians won’t urge restraint or personal sacrifice and too many ministers allow the secular world to set their agenda. And so the God gap widens and the wisdom and understanding of the older generation goes unheard and unheeded.

State Briefs Associated Press

Lawmakers delay on phone dereg bill JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers are delaying action on a bill that would further deregulate AT&T as they try to work out changes to placate some opponents. The House Public Utilities Committee has put off action until Thursday after lawmakers balked Wednesday at voting for a heavily amended bill without more time to study it. Members of the state Public Service Commission remain opposed to House Bill 825, though. Amendments offered Wednesday would explicitly leave the responsibility for handling phone service complaints with the state Public Service Commission, and would leave the commission’s current authority over directing federal funds to extend service. Proposed changes also would strip out any changes to telephone switching charges, which some small telephone

companies perceive as a threat to their revenues. Â

Lewis sentenced in child’s death

Carey-McCray sentenced Lewis to 17 years in prison, with five suspended and 12 to serve. Â

Most taxpayers who failed to file have a three-year-window for claiming a refund. Â

GREENVILLE — A Washington County man has been sentenced to serve 12 years in prison for the 2009 death of a 2-year-old child. WXVT-TV reports that Greg Lewis was sentenced this past week by Circuit Judge Margaret Carey-McCray. Gary Lewis pleaded guilty on Feb. 13 to a charge of culpable negligence homicide in the September 2009 death of Kaylan Watson of Metcalfe. Lewis had been charged with murder. Authorities say Lewis was babysitting the toddler while the mother was at work. It was during this time the boy was injured and left him unconscious. The child died later at a Jackson hospital. Culpable negligence homicide means that Lewis didn’t do enough to save the child.

Non-filers of 2008 returns owed $8M

Marsalis beats Tye for Ripley mayor

JACKSON — The Internal Revenue Service reports 9,900 Mississippians who failed to file 2008 federal tax returns are owed more than $8 million in refunds. Dee Stepter, IRS spokeswoman for Mississippi, tells The ClarionLedger that the median potential refund is $591. She said a return must be filed by April 17 — this year’s tax filing deadline. Federal law requires the return be properly addressed, mailed and postmarked by the deadline. There is no penalty for filing a late return qualifying for a refund. Nationally, the IRS has more than $1 billion in refunds for 1 million people who did not file a tax return for 2008. It’s estimated half of these refunds are more than $600.

RIPLEY — Ripley businessman Chris Marsalis has defeated longtime city employee Breat Tye in Tuesday’s mayoral runoff. Complete but unofficial returns showed Marsalis with 947 to 442 for Tye. Affidavit ballots were to be counted Wednesday but election officials say they are not enough of them to change the outcome. Nine candidates were on the Feb. 14 ballot. Marsalis will serve the remaining term of Kerri Hill who died in December.

Tupelo schools have new leader TUPELO — Gearl Loden, in his third year of leading the Amory School District, has been hired as superintendent of the Tupelo Public

Schools. The announcement came Tuesday in Tupelo. Loden replaces interim Superintendent David Meadows. Former Superintendent Randy Shaver requested an early release from his contract last April after an unsettled tenure of less than two years that ended with an unpopular decision to replace a well-liked high school principal. Loden, a native of Mantachie, will start July 1. Loden’s four-year contract will pay him $182,000 annually.

Choctaws ink $78M deal with Trustmark PHILADELPHIA — The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians has signed a debt refinancing agreement for the Pearl River Resort in Neshoba County and the Bok Homa Casino in Jones County. The new loan is for $78 million at a 6 percent variable rate for five

years. The agreement was signed Tuesday by Chief Phyliss J. Anderson and officials with Trustmark National Bank in Jackson. Anderson says the deal gives the tribe financial stability. Last summer, Moody’s Investors Service downgraded $200 million in securities borrowed by the Choctaw Resort Development Enterprise. In late 2011, the tribal enterprise was removed from the credit watch list after it received a six-month extension on loans owed. Pearl River Resort encompasses the Silver Star Hotel and Casino, the Golden Moon Entertainment Arena and Hotel, Bok Homa Casino, Dancing Rabbit Golf Course and Geyser Falls Water Theme Park. The Choctaw Resort Development Enterprise’s previous term loan had a maturity date of May 4, 2012, for the Pearl River Resort and a maturity date of May 31, 2012, for the Bok Homa Casino.

Mother, child both born on leap day Associated Press

SADDLE RIVER, N.J. — A New Jersey mother born on Feb. 29 beat 2 millionto-1 odds when she had her daughter — who was also born on leap day.

Michelle Birnbaum of Saddle River tells The New York Post that she’ll use the occasion to teach her 4-year-old daughter, Rose, about science and the earth’s cycles around

the sun. Birnbaum turned 32 Wednesday, but celebrated for only the eighth time on the actual date. Leap year comes once every four years.

Midwest tornadoes leave trail of death, damage BY JIM SUHR AND JIM SALTER Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Ill. — Twisters roared through the nation’s heartland in the early morning darkness Wednesday, flattening entire blocks of homes in small-town Illinois and Kansas and killing at least nine people. Winds also ripped through the country music mecca of Branson, Mo., damaging some of the city’s famous theaters just days before the start of the busy tourist season. In Harrisburg, a town of 9,000 in southern Illinois, residents sorted through piles of debris and remembered their dead while the winds still howled around them. Not long after the storm, Darrell Osman raced to his mother’s home, arriving just in time to speak to her before she was taken to a hospital with a head injury, a severe cut to her neck and a broken arm and leg. “She was conscious. I wouldn’t say she was coherent. There were more mumbles than anything,” he said. “She knew we were there.” Mary Osman died a short time later. In Branson, an apparent twister seemed to hopscotch up the city’s main roadway. At least 37 people were reported hurt, mostly with cuts and bruises. “We were blessed with several things — the time of year and certainly the time of day, when people were not in their vehicles or outdoors,” said Mayor Raeanne Presley, noting that during Branson’s peak season, up to 60,000

visitors would have been in the city on any given day and staying in many of the hotels that were damaged. “If it was a week later, it’d be a different story,” said Bill Tirone, assistant general manager for the 530-room downtown Hilton hotel, where the intense winds shattered windows and sucked furniture away. Hotel workers were able to get all guests to safety. John Moore, owner of the damaged Cakes-nCreams ’50s Diner, said the tornado seemed to target the city’s main strip, plowing through the entertainment district and a convention center. “The theater next to me kind of exploded. It went everywhere,” Moore said. “The hotels on the two sides of me lost their roofs.” Back in Harrisburg, where six people were killed, scientists said the tornado was an EF4, the second-highest rating given to twisters based on damage. The storm was 200 yards wide with winds up to 170 mph, meteorologist Rick Shanklin said. The winds were strong enough to blow the walls off some rooms at the Harrisburg Medical Center, leaving disheveled beds and misplaced furniture. The staff had enough warning to move the most endangered patients. Then they heard the walls collapse, officials said. The hospital discharged patients who could go home or moved them to other medical facilities. But they also had to confront an influx of injured. “Helicopters have been

coming in and out here all morning,” said the hospital’s CEO, Vince Ashley. Osman and his sister sorted through twisted debris and chunks of pink insulation at the site of their mother’s duplex, looking for photos and financial records. They found 10 old picture slides that were among a collection of hundreds. Some were caked in mud and damaged by water. “My mother was a Christian,” Osman said. “I know she’s in a better place. That is the only thing getting me through this.” In Missouri, one person was killed in a trailer park in the town of Buffalo, about 35 miles north of Springfield. Two more fatalities were reported in the Cassville and Puxico areas. The tornado that barreled through the tiny eastern Kansas town of Harveyville was an EF-2, with wind speeds of 120 to 130 mph, state officials said. It left much of the community in rubble. The twisters were spawned by a powerful storm system that blew down from the Rockies on Tuesday and was headed toward the East Coast. Corey Mead, lead forecaster at the U.S. Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said a broad cold front was slamming into warm, humid air over much of the eastern half of the nation. At least 16 tornado sightings were reported from Nebraska and Kansas across southern Missouri to Illinois and Kentucky, according to the storm center, an arm of the National Weather Service.

MHSAA prefers feds handle case The Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi High School Activities Association is trying to get the case of a teen who was hospitalized by hazing moved to federal court, claiming that his request to have him transferred to another school is rooted in the No Child Left Behind law. Jeffery Dixon Jr. transferred to Poplarville High School after being punched by a teammate at Picayune Memorial High School in April 2011. Dixon is one of two former Picayune students

who have said they were hospitalized after being punched by bigger, older teammates in a long-running hazing ritual. After Dixon and a younger sibling transferred to Poplarville, the MHSAA ruled them ineligible to play sports. The Dixon parents have asked a Pearl River County Chancery Court for an order that would allow the youngsters to play sports at Poplarville. A hearing in that court scheduled for Thursday has been canceled. In documents filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Gulfport, the MHSAA asked

U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. to take over the case. The Mississippi Department of Education joined in the request. The judge has not ruled. Amy Dixon, Jeffrey Dixon’s mother, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that her attorney is reviewing the filing and will make the appropriate legal response in court in the best interest of her children. She said she hopes the case will remain in state court. The MHSAA contends in court documents the claim made by the family is an at-

Henry helps Rebels recover from 15 down The Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.— Terrance Henry smiled at the crowd and appeared as comfortable as anyone in Bud Walton Arena — with good reason. The Ole Miss senior converted a three-point play with 8.2 seconds left Tuesday night to lift the Rebels to a 7775 victory over Arkansas. Ole Miss (17-12, 7-8 Southeastern Conference) has won four in a row at Bud Walton Arena and has swept the season series with Arkansas three of the last four years. “I can’t explain it,” Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy said. “I just think that when we come in we’ve had some success because our kids have

been aggressive. “If you’re not aggressive on the road, you have no chance.” This one came in dramatic comeback fashion, with the Rebels trailing by 15 points midway through the second half before rallying. It also kept faint postseason hopes alive for an Ole Miss team that has won two straight after a three-game losing streak. Henry led the Rebels with 19 points, but none were bigger than his final basket and free throw. Ole Miss trailed 75-74 before Henry scored on the baseline and was fouled with 8.2 seconds remaining. His free throw put the Rebels up 77-75, and BJ Young’s last-second layup rimmed out for Arkansas (18-12, 6-9),

which has lost three in a row at home after opening the season 17-0. “We never wanted to give up,” Henry said. “That’s what type of team we are. We’re a grind-it-out team that is going to fight until the end. We pulled it out in the end.” Henry had plenty of help up front. The Rebels outrebounded the Razorbacks 44-35, led by a 16-point, 16-rebound effort from Murphy Holloway, and shot 58.1 percent in the second half after a 26.7 percent effort in the first half. Jarvis Summers added 17 points, 16 in the second half, and Reginald Buckner had eight points and 15 rebounds. Arkansas led 55-40 with

13:36 to go before faltering and falling to 17-3 at home. The loss was Arkansas’ sixth in its last eight games. Young led the Razorbacks with 19 points, but it was his final point-blank miss after driving through traffic that caused him to lie on the court moments after the final buzzer. “He’s hurt,” Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said. “All of our guys are hurt. He wanted to win this game, not only for our season but those seniors. “Those seniors started off the season with a win, and they wanted to end it winning at Bud Walton Arena. So they are hurt.” Please see REBELS | 9

Just 22, Braves’ Heyward looks for comeback The Associated Press

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Jason Heyward reaches into the basket, pulls out a ball, places it on the tee and stares out toward the empty mound. He sweeps the bat once in front of his knees, pulls it back behind his left ear, pauses briefly, then — after slightly lifting his right foot and rocking back on his left — unleashes a mighty swing at the motionless ball, sending it flying into the netting. Then he does it again. And again. And again. It is here, in the isolation of the batting cages just beyond the center-field wall of Champion Stadium, that the Reconstruction of the J-Hey Kid

takes place on a daily basis in spring training. “Just get a feel for what you want. Just tell yourself, oneon-one. Get in your own zone, put yourself in game situations,” Heyward said. “When you get in a game, you don’t want to think that much. That’s where you get your thinking done, in the cage.” Beyond the cage, the Atlanta Braves outfielder faces increasingly familiar questions. Is he the too-good-to-betrue phenom who hit a homer in his very first at-bat and Hank Aaron predicted could change the face of the game? Or is he the guy who looked so totally overmatched in his sophomore season that

he had to share outfield time with a career backup and a career minor leaguer? From all appearances, Heyward is staring out on a crucial season at the ripe ol’ age of 22. Just don’t tell him that. “I’m not even going to break it down that much for you,” he said when queried on any changes he has made this spring. “I’m not thinking about it as much as you are.” Much like the Jekyll-andHyde player he was over the last two years, Heyward can be a bit of an enigma away from the field, too. There are times he seems laid back and approachable, bantering easily at his

locker about the first dog he’s ever had, a 6-month-old Lab named Jhey (pronounced “Jay”). There are times when he’s snarky and abrupt, such as Monday when he came in from a workout and unleashed a string of snippy answers to such hard-hitting questions as whether he had any memories of ex-Braves David Justice and Fred McGriff, who are in for the week as special instructors. That doesn’t concern the Braves; they aren’t looking for Heyward to win any personality contests. Atlanta needs him to get back on the track to stardom Please see BRAVES | 9

sue over transfer CONTINUED FROM 8

tor Don Hinton has said Dixon didn’t meet the requirements for a hardship waiver, which he said is generally used for medical reasons. Hinton said MHSAA officials met with the Dixons in early February when the new school filed an appeal on Dixon’s behalf, but the association stood by its earlier denial. The association enforces state rules that prevent high school students from switching districts just to play sports, ostensibly to prevent star athletes from essentially being recruited by rival districts. The Dixons insisted their kids didn’t transfer to be on a better team. “We didn’t relocate for better athletic opportunities. We relocated to make sure they came home alive every day,� Jeffrey Dixon Sr. said in an email Tuesday. “We are hoping the judge sees this case for what it is; our children simply trying to get on with their life in the most normal way possible.� Picayune officials have declined to comment because the Dixons have sued over the allegations in a separate case. Picayune is a city of about 10,800 in Pearl River County, about 50 miles northeast of New Orleans. The Picayune High football team won the Class 5A state championship this past year. The baseball team has a history of high-caliber play, and won the state championship in 2002. That year the Maroon Tide was ranked No. 4 in USA Today’s national poll.

Mardracus Wade added 14 and Julysses Nobles 13 for Arkansas, which led 73-70 after a pair of free throws by Young with 1:51 left. After the Rebels went up 7473 after a tip-in by Holloway, Young was fouled and hit two free throws to put the Razorbacks ahead 75-74 with 13 seconds remaining. Henry answered on the other end, driving the baseline and connecting to give Ole Miss the lead for good with 8.2 seconds remaining. Arkansas led 35-26 at halftime, but the Rebels opened the second half with an 11-2 run to tie the game at 37. Buckner scored six points during the run, including the last two on a pair of free throws. Brandon Mitchell, the football team’s backup quarterback who joined the basketball team in January, scored all eight of his points in the second half — including a thundering onehanded dunk that put Arkansas up 47-37. Mitchell’s dunk was part of an 18-3 run that put Arkansas up 55-40.

he was on in 2010, when he broke into the big leagues with a bang. There were his mammoth drives in spring training and the 471-foot homer on opening day that had Aaron proclaiming Heyward could be the type of player who brought more African-Americans to the national pastime. At midseason, Heyward was voted to the All-Star team. Despite a thumb injury that kept him out of the midseason showcase and limited his effectiveness over the second half of the season, he still managed to hit .277 with 18 homers, 72 RBIs and an on-base percentage of nearly .400. He finished second in the NL rookie of the year balloting to San Francisco’s Buster Posey. Then, Year 2. Heyward hurt his right shoulder in spring training, though it would be a while before he revealed that information publicly. He started slowly, got into some bad habits, pressed to turn it around and only made things worse. Coming down the stretch, as the Braves fought desperately to hang on to the

Atlanta Braves wild-card spot, he was relegated to part-time duty, sharing right field with Matt Diaz and Jose Constanza. In the end, the Braves missed the playoffs on the final day after an epic September collapse and Heyward was left with dismal numbers: a .227 average, 14 homers, 42 RBIs and a .319 on-base percentage. Now comes Year 3. Everyone is eager to see which path Heyward takes: The one Aaron and others had projected, or the one taken by Jeff Francoeur, another supposedly can’t-miss hometown kid who went from the cover of Sports Illustrated as a rookie to being traded away at age 25 for a backup named Ryan Church. Heyward insists he’s approaching this season like any other. “I don’t feel any extra pressure, man,� he said. “I’ve just

Once you get here, it’s like, ‘Hey, let’s go play ball.’ ... That’s where the pressure is. We all feel the same way about last season. We all want to get into the playoffs. We all want to go far in the playoffs.� Of course, the Braves are betting on a Heyward comeback. But, not taking any chances, they brought in not one but two new hitting coaches this season — Greg Walker and Scott Fletcher — a realignment of the staff that was seen as largely Heyward driven. “We’re not asking him to win the Triple Crown or anything like that. We’re asking him to be the Jason Heyward we know and he knows can produce in the major leagues,� manager Fredi Gonzalez said. “I think he’s gonna be fine because ... he’s got ability, he’s got talent, he’s willing to work, and he’s willing to listen to Greg and Fletch.

Jones, who knows a thing or two about breaking into the big leagues with huge expectations, said the key for any young hitter is having a versatile swing — he refers to “hinges� in the wrist, shoulder, waist and hips — that allows for split-second adjustments. In Heyward’s case, the shoulder injury caused him to flatten out his arms, which essentially made 90 mph pitches seem 4-5 mph faster. Heyward seems to be addressing that problem. “He’ll get it done. He’ll get it back. He’s 90 percent back,� Jones said. Walker wants Heyward to forget about last season and figure out the things that worked so well his rookie year. “We went back and looked at 2010, when he was really good,� Walker said. “We said to him, ‘OK, this is what you did. You’ve done it before, so that’s you.’ We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel here. We’re not trying to change Jason Heyward. We’re trying to get him to maximize his potential. We showed him. We filmed him and showed him what he looks like now, and how he looked in 2010.�

ANTHONY DAVIS, KENTUCKY Davis did it all in Kentucky’s 83–74 win over Vanderbilt in Lexington. The freshman center scored a career-high 28 points (on 10-of-11 shooting), grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked five shots. Davis remains in a two-man race with Kansas’ Thomas Robinson for National Player of the Year honors.

MARCUS DENMON, MISSOURI His team came up short, but Denmon once again was tremendous in the clutch for Missouri. The senior guard scored 28 points, including five in the final 40 seconds of overtime. In two games against rival Kansas, Denmon scored 57 points and hit 20-of-31 shots from the field. SCOTT CHRISTOPHERSON, IOWA STATE One of the few non-transfers on Fred Hoiberg’s Iowa State club, Christopherson poured in a season-high 29 points to lead the Cyclones to a huge road win at Kansas State. Christopherson hit 10-of-13 from the field, including all five shots from beyond the arc. LADONTEAE HENTON, PROVIDENCE Henton scored 24 points and grabbed a season-high 15 rebounds as Providence held on for a 73–71 win at DePaul. Henton, a freshman swingman, buried an 18-foot jump shot with 1.7 seconds remaining to give the Friars their first win since Feb. 1. KENT BAZEMORE, OLD DOMINION Bazemore had a huge game for the Monarchs — he scored a career-high 37 points and grabbed 12 boards — but it wasn’t enough to beat surging Drexel. The Dragons closed out the regular season with a school-record 17th straight win, holding on to beat ODU, 73–72. BRADFORD BURGESS, VCU One of the few holdovers from VCU’s 2011 Final Four team, Burgess scored a season-high 31 points to lead the Rams to an 89–77 win over rival George Mason in the regular-season finale for both teams. VCU, 15–3 in the CAA, will be the No. 2 seed in the upcoming conference tournament. JOHN SHURNA, NORTHWESTERN Northwestern bounced back from an excruciating overtime loss at home against Michigan to defeat Penn State, 67–66, on two Shurna free throws with 2.6 seconds remaining. Shurna led the Cats with 23 points and six assists. GARRETT SIM, OREGON Playing in his final Civil War vs. rival Oregon State, Sim, a Portland native, scored a seasonhigh 25 points (on 10-of-14 shooting) to lead the Ducks to a 74–73 win in Corvallis. Oregon has played its way onto the NCAA Tournament bubble by winning four of its last five games. CAMERON MOORE, UAB The Blazers’ senior center scored 21 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as UAB held on for a 61–57 win at East Carolina. Moore has had a double-double in seven of his last eight games. CHRIS JOHNSON, DAYTON Dayton kept its NCAA Tournament hopes alive with a dominating 76–43 win over Massachusetts. Johnson led the way for the Flyers with 20 points and 11 rebounds. MOE HARKLESS, ST. JOHN’S St. John’s picked up its first win of the season vs. a ranked team, topping red-hot Notre Dame, 61–58, at Madison Square Garden. Harkless, a freshman from Queens, led the way for the young Red Storm with 22 points and nine rebounds. MATT GATENS, IOWA Iowa’s modest two-game winning streak ended at Illinois, but Gatens continued his hot shooting. The senior from Iowa City scored 22 points and hit 5-of-6 from 3-point range. Over his last four games, Gatens is averaging 26.5 points and shooting an amazing 72.7 percent (24-of33) from 3-point range.

THOMAS ROBINSON, KANSAS Hours after Davis’ breathtaking performance against Vanderbilt, Robinson countered with a 28-point, 12-rebound effort as Kansas rallied from 19 points down in the second half to beat rival Missouri in overtime before a frenzied crowd in Lawrence. Robinson sent the game into OT by converting a 3-point play with 8.3 seconds remaining in regulation.

Anthony Davis shows he’s far more than a shot-blocker. It’s New Orleans-or-bust for the talented Orange. The Spartans will be a popular pick to reach Final Four. KU ends the Border War series in grand fashion. Duke escapes in overtime vs. Virginia Tech. Heels are ultra-talented; will have to prove it in March. Tigers have to put collapse at KU behind them. Eagles have been Golden in Big East play. Buckeyes struggling at the wrong time of the year. Not too many will trust the Bears in the NCAA tourney. Hoyas are the least-talked about top-15 team. Shockers will be a factor in March. Veteran Badgers come through in clutch at Ohio State. IU makes a statement with impressive win at Minnesota. Cards complete season sweep over Pittsburgh. Wolverines can’t sustain positive momentum. Racers get some revenge with an easy win over TSU. Injury to big man Will Yuguete will hurt the Gators. Mike Moser could become a household name. Seminoles play their way out of ACC title race. Fighting Irish have suddenly hit a cold spell. Cavs remain limited on the offensive end of the floor. Commodores go toe-to-toe with Kentucky in Rupp. Fran Dunphy’s team is built to win in March. Royce White will be tough in the NCAA Tournament.

Pressure’s on WVU, Northwestern Which team is under the most pressure in this final week of the regular season? Patrick Snow: I think the West Virginia Mountaineers are under a ton of pressure if they want to make a fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. Bob Huggins’ club is currently tied for ninth in the rough Big East, and WVU has not been playing quality ball down the stretch. After starting the season at 15–5 overall and 5–2 in league play, the Mountaineers have lost seven of their last nine games. Those seven defeats include four home games, and WVU suffered a very tough loss last Friday after blowing an 11-point halftime lead against Marquette. Seniors Truck Bryant and Kevin Jones have led the team all season but have been inconsistent lately. WVU travels to South Florida on Saturday to face a Bulls club that has been very tough this season. A quality road win in the last regular-season game could be the difference-maker in getting the Mountaineers off the bubble, instead of missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since Huggins’ return to Morgantown. Mitch Light: There’s a bunch of options here, but I will go with Northwestern, which is scratching and clawing to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. The Wildcats are currently 17–11 overall and 7–9 in the Big Ten with an RPI of 43. They close the regular season with a home date with Ohio State on Wednesday and a tricky road game at Iowa on Saturday. If they beat Ohio State, they will be a virtual lock for the tournament. If not, however, Bill Carmody’s club will head to Iowa City in must-win mode against an Iowa team that beat Indiana and Wisconsin in its last two home games. There’s no denying that this will be a stressful week for everyone associated with Northwestern basketball. What conference tournament are you most looking forward to? Nathan Rush: The SEC Tournament is must-see TV. Kentucky is the

SATURDAY, MARCH 3 WEST VIRGINIA AT SOUTH FLORIDA It’s a matchup between two Big East bubble teams that would love to close the regular season with a win. It’s hard to say which team needs this game more. PITTSBURGH AT CONNECTICUT The Big East schedule-makers probably didn’t envision that these two teams would have a combined 21 league losses (at least) on the final weekend of the season. OKLAHOMA STATE AT KANSAS STATE Kansas State followed up wins at Baylor and Missouri by losing at home to Iowa State. Frank Martin is begging for more consistency from his team. SOUTHERN MISS AT MARSHALL Southern Miss is on the verge of its first NCAA appearance since 1991. Winning at Marshall isn’t a must, but the Golden Eagles could use another solid victory away from home. WASHINGTON AT UCLA Washington will be tough for the Selection Committee to evaluate. The Huskies have plenty of talent but lack quality wins. GEORGETOWN AT MARQUETTE Marquette has been one of the best teams in the nation over the past two months. Georgetown has the size to punish the Golden Eagles in the paint. This is an intriguing matchup. CINCINNATI AT VILLANOVA The Bearcats have been living life on the bubble for the past two months. They took a big step forward with a win over Louisville but followed up with a one-point loss at South Florida. NORTHWESTERN AT IOWA This could end up being the most important regular-season game in the history of Northwestern basketball. No pressure, Wildcats. VANDERBILT AT TENNESSEE The Commodores rolled past Tennessee with ease in Nashville, but the Volunteers have been a tough out in Knoxville. ALABAMA AT OLE MISS Bama heads into the final week of the regular season playing its best basketball of the season. Barring a collapse, Anthony Grant will have the Tide in the NCAAs for the first time since ’06. LOUISVILLE AT SYRACUSE Louisville had Big East bully Syracuse on the ropes at the Yum Center, but committed some costly turnovers late in the game. The Cards will have to be nearly perfect to win in the Dome. ARKANSAS AT MISSISSIPPI STATE The Bulldogs’ late-season slide has put them in must-win mode. Arkansas beat State by 10 in Fayetteville, but the Hogs have struggled mightily on the road. SETON HALL AT DEPAUL This is a tough spot for Seton Hall. A win at DePaul does nothing to enhance its NCAA Tournament profile, but a loss would prove fatal. SAN DIEGO STATE AT TCU Fort Worth has suddenly become one of the tougher places to play on the MWC circuit. The Frogs have defeated Colorado State, UNLV and New Mexico in consecutive home games.

Kevin Jones has been terrific as a senior, but his West Virginia Mountaineers are in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007.

prohibitive favorite to win the national championship. But can the Wildcats cruise to the SEC crown, as they have in each of John Calipari's first two seasons at UK? If they are tested in a do-or-die tournament setting, how will Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and the young Cats react? Also, the SEC has two of the more intriguing NCAA Tournament wild cards. Both Florida and Vanderbilt have the firepower to make a run in March. But if the Gators and Commodores don’t get hot at the right time, either (or both) could easily stagger early in the Dance. UF and VU are hit or miss. But which is it? Then there’s Alabama, a well-coached club that can stifle just about any offense on the right night. There is plenty of NCAA Tournament insight to be gleaned from the SEC Tournament — which, Nathan Rush 38-22

coincidentally, is in New Orleans, the site of this year's Final Four. Mitch Light: I think the Missouri Valley Tournament in St. Louis — or Arch Madness, as its called — will be fun to watch. The league has two very good teams at the top in Wichita State (16–2) and Creighton (14–4) and then incredible balance with five teams finishing in a tie for third place at 9–9 in the league. Wichita State is the obvious favorite, but Creighton boasts the Valley’s best player in sophomore forward Doug McDermott, the son of head coach Greg McDermott. Looking for a sleeper? Indiana State was a bit of a disappointment this season with an 8–10 league record, but Greg Lansing’s club returns most of the key players from last year’s team that won the MVC Tournament title and advanced to the NCAAs.

NORTH CAROLINA AT DUKE The stakes couldn’t be higher when these two arch-rivals get together Saturday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The winner will be the outright ACC regular-season champ and earn the No. 1 seed in the league tournament. TEXAS AT KANSAS Texas can wrap up an at-large invite with a win over Kansas in Lawrence. That, obviously, is no easy task. The Longhorns most likely will head to the Big 12 Tournament needing to win a few games to feel good about their NCAA chances. SUNDAY, MARCH 4 KENTUCKY AT FLORIDA Kentucky has already wrapped up the SEC title, but it’s always fun when the Wildcats and Gators get together in Gainesville. Florida could improve its seed a spot or two with a win. ILLINOIS AT WISCONSIN The Fighting Illini could play their way back onto the bubble with a win in Madison, but this team has done nothing to indicate that it’s good enough to beat the Badgers at the Kohl Center. VIRGINIA AT MARYLAND The Cavaliers are secure for now, but they could put themselves in an uncomfortable spot with losses to Florida State on Thursday and Maryland on Sunday. OHIO STATE AT MICHIGAN STATE Michigan State has already clinched at least a share of the Big Ten title. A second win over the Buckeyes could wrap up a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. PURDUE AT INDIANA Purdue has played its way into the NCAA Tournament by winning four of its last five games. The Boilers would love to get some revenge after losing to IU in West Lafayette in early February. NC STATE AT VIRGINIA TECH NC State has faded down the stretch, but the Wolfpack still have a pulse. Things can get interesting if they can beat Miami at home on Wednesday and close with a victory at Tech.

Gonzaga strains to keep alive NCAA tourney streak The Associated Press

SPOKANE, Wash.— Gonzaga’s run of 11 consecutive West Coast Conference regular season titles may be over, but the Bulldogs still have a streak of 13 straight NCAA tournament appearances to protect. Gonzaga (24-5, 13-3 WCC) takes a first step on Saturday when it plays in the semifinals of the WCC tournament in Las Vegas. The Bulldogs have a bye into the semis by virtue of

finishing second to Saint Mary’s in the regular season. The Bulldogs will face either BYU, San Diego or Pepperdine in the semis. The championship game is Monday. “We’re playing pretty good, but obviously there are a lot of good teams going down there in the conference tournament this year,” said Mark Few, who has never failed to take Gonzaga to the NCAAs as a head coach.

Unlike past years, when Gonzaga was often considered the prohibitive favorite to win the WCC’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, this year the Bulldogs face strong challenges from Saint Mary’s, BYU, Loyola Marymount and San Francisco. “There are probably four or five of them you can say have a shot at it,” Few said. Gonzaga has had a good season, although the Bulldogs have bounced in and out of the Top 25 several

times. Their losses were to No. 5 Michigan State at home, and at Illinois, Saint Mary’s, BYU and San Francisco. With an RPI in the low 20s, the Bulldogs stand a good chance of being invited to the NCAAs even if they don’t win the conference tournament. But they would prefer not to leave the survival of their streak to the whims of NCAA selectors. “We want to go down and protect our champion-

ship from last year,” Few said. Few has tinkered with his lineup this season, but now seems set on starting senior post Robert Sacre, junior forward Elias Harris and freshmen guards Kevin Pangos and Gary Bell Jr. Junior college transfer Guy Landry Edi has recently secured the fifth starting spot. Their postseason hopes rest heavily on the play of the 7-foot Sacre and 6-foot-7 Harris.

Sacre is averaging 12 points and 6 rebounds per game, and is second in team history in blocked shots. He has not dominated many games his senior year but remains the team leader and a media favorite. Sacre this week was named the WCC defensive player of the year. Harris, who is averaging 13 points and 8 rebounds per game, has played very well in the closing weeks, and was selected Tuesday for the all-conference team.

DEAR ABBY: Someone gave a very inappropriate eulogy for someone my family cares about dearly. Is it worth it to say something to him? “Alton” lost his mother, a really good person who was loved by many, and he attacked her during his eulogy. Alton shared quite a few details about his mother’s life that no one needed to know. But the bottom line is, she was a good person who made some mistakes toward the end of her life. Alton is arrogant and mean and has a long history of verbally attacking family members. People are still talking about the eulogy. There were individuals at the service who called him names, and a few walked out in tears. Word spread to people in other states within minutes after the service ended.

Is it worth pointing out to an arrogant jerk that his eulogy was appalling and has caused a lot of anger? Should one of us step forward and say something to him, or just chalk it up to “once a jerk, always a jerk”? — COULDN’T BELIEVE MY EARS IN ARIZONA DEAR COULDN’T BELIEVE YOUR EARS: I vote no, because I seriously doubt that anything you could say would shame an arrogant, mean jerk into admitting he made a mistake by speaking disrespectfully of his mother at her funeral. A better way to handle it would be for those who were offended to avoid him. A deafening silence may convey the message more loudly than words.

Horoscopes by Holiday BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Many professional organizations have laid claim to the month of March, declaring various focuses for the third month of the year. Whether you choose to acknowledge International Mirth Month, National Craft Month, Sleep Awareness Week, March Into Literacy Month (or None of the Above month), the trendy Gemini moon ushers in the new. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will find yourself in less than inspiring circumstances. The lack of stimuli presents a chance to daydream about pleasant places or recall a happy memory. TAURUS (April 20May 20). Just as every item you own needs a place where it belongs, every person in your life fulfills a role. You feel the roles shifting in interesting ways now. It’s as though your emotional life is getting reorganized. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Frustration is only a dead end if it causes you to quit. Don’t give up. Just because things aren’t coming together easily doesn’t mean they won’t come together at all. The next solution you try may work like a charm.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You like it when silly things happen. It makes for a good story later. There are people in your life who thrill to hear your stories, by the way. Call one of them tonight. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll give thought as to the functionality of things in your life. If they don’t serve an obvious purpose, you’ll be in just the kind of mood to lighten your load and throw them out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Time is one of the worst things to lose or waste, because there’s no way to get it back. That’s why it’s important to think ahead, make the best arrangements you can make and bring something to do while you wait. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Responsibilities come into play. You’ll do what it takes to maintain your lifestyle and relationships. You’ll take care of the things you own, and they will work for you for many years to come. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). You’ll enjoy your time alone today and realize how truly comfortable you are in your own company. It will be easier to be a good friend to others when you’re first a good friend to yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To outsid-

ers, you may appear to be easygoing, but you have a persnickety side, too. You are most discerning in matters pertaining to how you look, where you go and what you put in your mouth. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You’re even more powerful than usual, so be careful what you think about. Your thoughts have a way of becoming realities rather quickly. Fill your head with the outcomes you think you’d most like to occur. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Shake off the early morning’s dreamy mood, and get busy. Everyone knows that “someday” never comes — probably because it doesn’t exist. There is only today. Make concrete plans, and act on them. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Matters of scale will have a bearing on your situation. You can’t play small for big goals. You’ll go home with the prize if and only if the size of your game matches the game you’re in. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 1). A burden will be lifted in the next four

weeks. Giving credit where credit is due will bring luck. Often this will involve honoring the spiritual aspects of your life and the many ways love shows up in your world. Nature brings joy and healing through the spring. June brings an eye-opening journey. Aquarius and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 42, 35, 28 and 19. COSMIC CONFIDENCE: In the age of Facebook and YouTube, there are more opportunities than ever before to project yourself in a public forum. Whether in interpersonal dealings or in presenting yourself to the world at large, your astrological sign offers unique insight to help you gain the confident edge that will make others take notice and give you the right kind of attention. So what’s your cosmic advantage? If you would like to write to Holiday Mathis, please go to www.creators.com and click on “Write the Author” on the Holiday Mathis page.

CAN WE KNOW THE TRUTH? People today are living in the fast lane and are not taking the time to personally search for truth. A vast majority are depending on someone else to do their searching for them. God wants all men to come unto a knowledge of the truth according to 1 Timothy 2:4, “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”. The Bible would be worthless if it is not possible for one to know the truth. Jesus taught that it is possible for us to know the truth, “And ye shall know the truth., and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). Paul taught that we can understand the will of the Lord, “Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ (Ephesians 3:4). “Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is” (Ephesians 5: 17). The Bible refers to some who did know the truth, “I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth” (1 John 2:21). “Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth” (I Timothy 4:3). Since some in the past did know the truth, it is also possible for us to know the truth. Certain things are necessary in order for us to know the truth. Paul instructed Timothy to study and rightly divide the word of truth, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). Paul commended the people of Berea who heard him preach because of what they did. “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11). Paul was an apostle and inspired of God, but they checked for themselves to make sure that they were being taught the truth. Since human beings are not infallible, we need to check for ourselves to insure that we are hearing and obeying the truth. Our faith must be a first-handed faith and not a second-handed faith. Like Thomas who wanted to see for himself, we need to see things for ourselves to insure that we are saved and have the hope of heaven. The soul is the only part of us that is eternal and our most prized possession. Therefore, we should make every effort possible to insure the eternal destiny of the soul. If we fail to learn the truth, obey it and live by it, we will have an eternity of regret. All will appear at the judgment and be individually judged according to 2 Corinthians 5: 10, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” Do we know the truth and obey it?
