Jail officer charged with bringing in drugs
BY BRANT SAPPINGTON
[email protected]
A correctional officer at the Alcorn
County Jail is accused of bringing
multiple types of drugs, along with
alcohol and a cell phone, into the facility for the use of inmates.
Alcorn County Sheriff Ben
Caldwell said Ethan Wayne Little,
24, was arrested Saturday for allegedly bringing methamphetamine,
cocaine, marijuana, alcohol and a
cell phone into the jail. The items
were packaged to be slipped to inmates, said the sheriff.
Little is charged with possession
of methamphetamine with intent
to distribute, possession of cocaine
with intent to distribute, possession
of marijuana with intent to distribute and conspiracy to introduce
contraband into a correctional facility.
Bond had not been set Saturday
morning and he was being held in
the county jail.
Caldwell said the arrest comes as
the result of an investigation into
contraband in the jail by sheriff’s
department investigators.
“We absolutely will not tolerate
this behavior,” he said.
He said he’s disgusted by the behavior of the employee and they
will aggressively prosecute anyone
involved in this type of activity.

A majority vote on Monday
will determine the future of two
Alcorn County schools.
Last month, all but one board
member gave Superintendent
Larry B. Mitchell the OK to
continue research into cost savings associated with the closure
of both Glendale and Rienzi Elementary School.
Now the board is set to vote
on whether to actually close
the schools during the regular
monthly meeting of the Alcorn
School District Board of Education on Monday at 5 p.m.
During a special called meeting with the public on Thursday, Glen parent Jody Emerson
presented budget numbers and
information he learned during
weeks worth of research.

A County Road 640 resident is asking the county to
partially close the road to help
keep away undesirables.
Hugh Coleman made the
request before the Alcorn
County Board of Supervisors
this week. The board wants
to give it some thought before taking action. The area is
near Rainey’s Sod Farm in the
western part of the county.
“On several occasions,
people have broken into my
grandmother’s old house,”
said Coleman.
Other family members in
the area have experienced
vandalism and theft of property, he said.
Coleman showed a photo of
a bullet hole in a family home.
It is a low-traffic area, and
the closure would not affect
property owners’ access, he
said.

■ Fourth District Supervisor
Steve Glidewell notified the
board of drainage issues on
several roads that will require
work on private property to
correct. The roads are 523,
614, 632 and Ellsworth Road.
The roads are holding water
and eroding, creating safety
issues, he said.
“If it is a drainage issue that
has impacted the integrity of
the road or creates some sort
of hazard, then the attorney
general has been fairly clear
that you can do what is necessary on private property,” said
Board Attorney Bill Davis.
■ The board approved renewals on several contracts
for the correctional facility.

NE camp offers taste of manufacturing
BY STEVE BEAVERS
[email protected]
A group of underprivileged
youth are getting a chance to
learn the nuts and bolts of the
manufacturing business.
The 4th Annual NEMCC
Manufacturing Camp will let
youngsters age 10-16 see how
businesses in the field operate.
“Campers will design and
build a product, experiencing
for themselves the world-class
technology available to them locally,” said camp director Beverly Harris. “This gives them a
chance to learn about our thriving manufacturing businesses
because so many youth are not
privileged enough to know of
the opportunities which are
available in this area.”
Campers will get to take tours
at a major manufacturing plant
such as Kimberly-Clark, accord-
ing to Harris.
“The camp is designed with
hopes to inspire these youth
to work toward careers within
their own community,” added
Harris.
The group will also learn to
create a product by design engineering and see it through to
production in manufacturing
machining.
The camp — held June 2024 at Northeast at Corinth — is
open to kids in Alcorn and Prentiss counties. Northeast’s annual event is solely run by the
NEMCC staff and community.
“Our hope is they learn the
importance of gaining relationships and having the teambuilding skills to be successful
in a work environment,” said
Harris.
Northeast was among 33 winners of a Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs (NBT) grant to have the
camp.
The grants, ranging from
$1,000 to $2,500, for a total of
$66,000, were awarded by NBT
to community and technical
colleges offering day camp experiences that introduce young
people ages 12 to 16 to careers
in manufacturing and engineering.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A group of lawyers seeking $2.3 million for their work overturning Tennessee’s ban on same-sex marriage are overbilling
taxpayers, according to Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery. Slatery says they only deserve
$1.1 million.
The Tennessean reports that a court document
unsealed last week shows Slatery arguing that lawyers who worked in other states involved in the historic civil rights case asked for less money.
The filing from the state says the legal team “ballooned to 19 attorneys, billing a total of nearly 6,000
hours.”
U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger will determine
the amount of fees the lawyers should receive.
The group argues that the large legal force was
necessary because the state continued to defend the
ban.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A coalition of environmentalists is sounding the alarm about a plan the Tennessee
Valley Authority is considering for storing coal ash involving 10 cites.
The TVA is closing down ash storage at 10 power
plants.
The Southern Environmental Law Center and 10
other groups are warning there is a danger that toxic
chemicals at sites near rivers in Tennessee, Kentucky
and Alabama will leach into groundwater if TVA decides to leave the ash in place, drain it and cover it. The
groups say it would be safer if TVA moved the ash into
lined storage facilities
A TVA spokesman says the agency has not made a
decision yet on what to do.
The spokesman said federal environmental officials say either method of storage is safe if done
properly.

Today in
History
Today is Sunday,
March 13, the 73rd day
of 2016. There are 293
days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight
in History:
On March 13, 1996,
a gunman burst into an
elementary school in
Dunblane, Scotland, and
opened fire, killing 16
children and one teacher
before killing himself.
On this date:
In 1781, the seventh
planet of the solar system, Uranus, was discovered by Sir William
Herschel.
In 1865, Confederate President Jefferson
Davis signed a measure
allowing black slaves to
enlist in the Confederate States Army with the
promise they would be
set free.
In 1925, the Tennessee General Assembly
approved a bill prohibiting the teaching of the
theory of evolution. (Gov.
Austin Peay signed the
measure on March 21.)
In 1946, U.S. Army Pfc.
Sadao Munemori was
posthumously awarded
the Medal of Honor for
sacrificing himself to
save fellow soldiers from
a grenade explosion in
Seravezza, Italy; he was
the only Japanese-American service member so
recognized in the immediate aftermath of World
War II.
In 1980, Ford Motor
Co. Chairman Henry Ford
II announced he was
stepping down, the same
day a jury in Winamac,
Indiana, found the company not guilty of reckless homicide in the fiery
deaths of three young
women in a Ford Pinto.
In 1995, two Americans working for U.S.
defense contractors
in Kuwait, David Daliberti and William Barloon,
were seized by Iraq after
they strayed across the
border; sentenced to
eight years in prison,
both were freed later the
same year.

suspect, police say
BOONEVILLE — A
woman who helped a
man wanted for armed
robbery flee from law enforcement last week now
faces felony charges.
Brandy May Penry Taylor, 39, of 116 Dudley
Rd., Booneville has been
charged with one count
of felony fleeing and one
count of hindering prosecution, said Booneville
Police Chief Michael
Ramey.
Taylor was arrested
on March 2 after fleeing
from police attempting
to make a traffic stop.
A passenger in her
vehicle, Jimmy Penry,
bailed out and managed
to escape from police in
the area of County Road
1000. Ramey said Penry
is wanted in connection
with the armed robbery
of an individual in Booneville last year.
Bond for Taylor was
set at $5,000.
Confederate statue’s
plaque gives context
OXFORD — Installation has begun on a
plaque that will provide
historical context for the
Confederate statue at
the entrance to Lyceum
Circle at the University
of Mississippi.
Construction should
be complete by month’s
end. The inscription
engraved on the plaque
reads:
“As Confederate veterans were passing from
the scene in increasing
numbers, memorial associations built monuments in their memory
all across the South.
This statue was dedicated by citizens of Oxford
and Lafayette County in
1906. On the evening of
September 30, 1962,
the statue was a rallying
point where a rebellious
mob gathered to prevent
the admission of the
University’s first African
American student. It
was also at this statue
that a local minister implored the mob to disperse and allow James
Meredith to exercise his
after that long night, Meredith was admitted to
the University and graduated in August 1963.
“This historic structure is a reminder of the
University’s past and of
its current and ongoing
commitment to open its
hallowed halls to all who
seek truth and knowledge and wisdom.”
The creation of the
plaque is in response to
a key recommendation
of the 2014 action plan.
“Our university has
worked hard to recognize our history while
also living up to our
promise as one of America’s most hospitable,
welcoming and inclusive
institutions,” Chancellor
Jeffrey S. Vitter said.
“The placement of this
plaque puts this statue
into proper context and
affirms, as in our UM
Creed, our respect for
the dignity of each person.”
Many hours of study
and thought have gone
into the design and
wording of the plaque,
Vitter said.
“I would like to
thank the committee
members, Drs. Donald
Cole, Andy Mullins,
Charles Ross and David
Sansing, who were appointed by Dr. Morris
Stocks to draft the language of this plaque,”
he said. “They have
done an outstanding job
of balancing history and
perspective, and we owe
them our thanks for their
thoughtful work.”
“The benefit of placing a plaque at the
Confederate statute on
campus provides context and helps us better
understand our past,”
said Sansing, emeritus
professor of history.
“Neither the statue nor
the plaque answer all
the questions about our
past. The placement of
this plaque is just one
example of the univer-
sity fulfilling its mission as an educational
institution by pursuing
knowledge and understanding.”
“The key unifying feature of this committee is
that we all love the University of Mississippi,”
said Cole, assistant
provost and assistant to
the chancellor for multicultural affairs. “As we
worked together to carefully choose the wording
for the plaque, we really
wanted anyone who read
it to know it to be truthful.”

Emma, William top
Tenn. baby names
Tennessee parents
have voted and placed
incumbents Emma and
William at the top of the
poll of names chosen for
babies born in 2015.
Votes are tallied by
the dedicated team in
the Tennessee Office
of Vital Records, which
registers some 240,000
new records of births,
deaths, marriages and
divorces every year.
New Tennessee parents followed tradition
in choosing names for
their children in 2015,
with only one new name
getting enough votes to
break into each list last
year. William has now
been the top name chosen for baby boys born
in Tennessee for nine
straight years. Emma
has been the most popular name for Tennessee
baby girls since 2011.
The top 10 names
Tennessee parents
chose for their new babies born in 2015 are as
follows (in order): (Girls)
Emma, Olivia, Ava, Harper, Abigail, Sophia, Elizabeth, Isabella, Madison,
Emily; (Boys) William,
James, Elijah, Mason,
Noah, Liam, Jackson,
Jacob, John, Carter.
Both the boys’ and
girls’ name lists include
new candidates in the
number 10 spots this
year: Emily collected
enough votes to break
into the ranking as the
number 10 name for
girls; Carter is the newcomer as the number 10
name for boys. All other
names on the 2015 top
ten list are unchanged
from the previous year,
although some have
moved in the rankings. Data on Tennessee’s
most popular baby
names are pulled from
birth certificates, which
are issued by the TDH
Office of Vital Records.
This office is charged
with maintaining the integrity of approximately
15 million records, which
can include issuance and
amending records such
as birth and death certificates and records of
marriages and divorces
that occur in Tennessee.

Our View
Harper, oh Harper,
where art thou
Harper?
The intersection of Harper Road and Proper Street in Corinth just isn’t the same.
Ole “Harper” has gone missing and it’s tugging at our dog-loving heartstrings as to what
happened to him.
Some say there are probably bigger issues
to debate in the Cross City, which is without
its stray dog who has captured the hearts of
many as he roamed freely along Harper Road
for at least a decade.
With over 12,000 views, Harper’s story in
the Daily Corinthian on-line edition gives
credit that many people want to know what
happened to the happy-go-lucky canine who
has managed to dodge capture all these years.
We know of several people who have
searched for Harper, fearing him dead. Social
media reports have gone wild, but rumors of
Harper’s death after being hit by a vehicle
cannot be verified.
A regular sight at the intersection, the beloved canine has walked the length of Harper Road for so long that he was eventually
named for it.
With the dog presumed to have been taken,
residents and visitors alike are asking, who
could have taken Harper, and why?
Volunteer Director Charlotte Doehner with
the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter may have
the answer, she told the Daily Corinthian recently.
An older gentleman paid the shelter a visit
and he was very upset and concerned about
Harper’s well-being, claiming the shelter was
not doing enough for him, said Doehner.
The man was concerned about Harper
in the cold elements, but he didn’t know
Corinth’s most known breaker of the leash
law was the best kept canine in Corinth.
He gets food, water and lives with pillows
and blankets in his dog house under the
bridge near the intersection. With medicine
slipped into his food, he even had medical
care.
Not long after Doehner’s talk with the man,
Harper came up missing.
Over the years, both the shelter and
Corinth animal control have made numerous
attempts to get Harper off the streets, but to
no avail.
Believed to be a collie and lab mix, Harper
is also known as “Lucky.”
The father of at least five, Harper has a
look-alike son called “Harper Junior” and has
even had his own Facebook page for years.
If Harper is OK, we as a community need
closure. The person who might have him can
stay anonymous.
Please step forward and tell us Harper is
OK.
That’s all we are asking.

Only Republicans can save Democrats
Random thoughts on the
passing scene:
The presidential election
prospects for the Democrats are so bad this year
that only the Republicans
can save them – as Republicans have saved them before.
Will a Supreme Court

justice rule that an “under-representation” of any
group is evidence of discrimination?
Here is a trick question: What percentage of
American households have
incomes in the top 10 percent? Answer: 51 percent of
American households are
in the top 10 percent in income at some point in the
course of a lifetime – usually in their older years. Those
who want us to envy and resent the top 10 percent are
urging half of us to envy and
resent ourselves.
His Super Bowl win gave
retiring quarterback Peyton
Manning his record 200th
victory. But it may also have
benefitted losing young
quarterback Cam Newton,
by giving him a very sobering experience after his exhilarating 17 and 1 season.
Over the course of his career, Cam Newton may become an even greater quarterback than he would have
been without this setback
early in his career.
According to the Washington Post, record numbers
of
college

Many Americans were
not only saddened but angry that Iran publicized
photographs of captured
American sailors weeping.
But do you think that Reverend Jeremiah Wright was
saddened and angry? What
about his 20-year disciple in
the White House? Let us not
forget that President Obama
voluntarily humbled himself
— and America — by bowing
to foreign leaders.
People who are willing to
consider virtually any conceivable excuse for criminals’ acts cut no slack at all
for decisions that police have
to make in a split second,
at the risk of their lives. For
some people, it is not enough
that cops put themselves at
risk to protect the rest of us.
They want cops to risk their
lives for the sake of handling
criminals more gently.
What are the chances that
the world’s greatest violinist
would make a good quarterback? Or that the world’s
greatest quarterback would
make a good violinist? Why
then would anyone think
that a successful businessman would make a good
president – especially when
he is demonstrating almost
daily why he would not?
Many people, including
Senator Bernie Sanders,
repeat incessantly that the
economic system is “rigged”
by the rich — without providing either specifics or
evidence. The latest figures
I have seen show that the
400 richest people in the
world have recently lost $19
billion on net balance. If
they have rigged the system,
they have certainly done a
very incompetent job of it.
If you listen carefully to
what Senator Marco Rubio
says, he is not for instant
amnesty. He is for amnesty
on the installment plan,
though of course he would
not call it that. Does anyone
who knows anything about
politics seriously believe
that “legalization” of illegal
immigrants will end that
issue, without turning into
citizenship over time?
At last we have reached
the point where we can say,
“Next year this time, Obama
will not be president.” But
the disasters he leaves behind will plague us for years
to come. And some of those
disasters may strike even
before he is gone.
Some countries in Europe
have sealed their borders
against refugees from the
Middle East, as the Soviet
Union once sealed its borders against people getting
in or getting out. But somehow it is said by some to be
impossible to seal our border with Mexico.
When the Whigs could
not get their act together
on the crucial issue of their
day — slavery — that led
some Whigs to leave the
party and form the Republican party, with Lincoln as
its candidate for president.
Today’s Republican party
has repeatedly failed to get
its act together on immigration. That has produced the
current divisiveness that
may threaten them with the
fate of the Whigs.
Historians of the future,
when they look back on
our times, may be completely baffled when trying
to understand how Western
civilization welcomed vast
numbers of people hostile
to the fundamental values
of Western civilization,
people who had been taught
that they have a right to
kill those who do not share
their beliefs.

Is political system on life support in America?
STARKVILLE — When I
went to my polling place on
Tuesday, I approached the
process with a feeling I’ve
really never experienced
since casting my first ballot
almost 40 years ago.
I had to confront the reality that for perhaps the first
time in my life, I really was
not excited about voting for
any of the choices available
to me for the highest office
in the land. And it wasn’t
that some were more or
less likeable than others or
of the familiar process of
holding one’s political nose
and choosing the lesser of
underwhelming candidates.
No, it was more a matter
of admitting that “none of
the above” was where both
my heart and my head were
on this otherwise gorgeous
Tuesday morning.
I voted. I chose. My father
and other veterans fought
too hard and sacrificed too
much for me to take the
right to vote as less than a
sacred duty of citizenship.
But I certainly didn’t leave
the polling place with the
feeling that I had contributed much to the future
awaiting the future generations of my family.
And driving to work, I
confronted a more ominous
question: Is the traditional
two-party system in America on life support? Are we

headed
to
some sort of
European
parliamentary system
where coalition governSid Salter ments arise
Columnist from electoral chaos and
where power
sharing leads to a peculiar
kind of inertia in government?
But then I realized that I’d
answered my own question.
Our two-party system was
one that worked because of
the competition of dueling
political, social, and economic philosophies.
That competition, however, was uniquely tempered
by the notion that when
the electoral dust settled,
the ruling party got about
the business of governing
in concert with the losing
party – the so-called “loyal
opposition.”
For my generation, that
partisan relationship was
exhibited most readily by
Republican Ronald Reagan and Democratic House
Speaker Thomas P. “Tip”
O’Neill. Despite a divided
government, Reagan and
O’Neill were able to govern
by compromise, negotiation and a realization that
the interests of the country
weren’t served by the poli-
tics of personal and partisan destruction.
Yet over the last 20 years,
we have reach a point that
for many, the partisan path
is a path of such ideological purity that merely winning an election isn’t good
enough. For these voters,
they want the political
houses of their opponents
burned down and if the
country gets singed a little
in the process, so be it.
The tone and tenor of
the 2016 presidential campaigns in both parties has
taken on the feel of television wrestling shows.
What has passed for public
discourse in this election
cycle has run the gamut of
misogyny, racism, personal
insults that demean virtually everyone, and a meanspirited lack of hope and
promise for the future of
our nation that is nothing
short of depressing.
Temper the present dung
heap of debates, town hall
meetings, and staged candidate rallies with the residue of distrust in the basic
mechanics of voting – think
hanging chads, Diebold voting machines, and the Florida recounts – and you have
a recipe for the present embarrassment of an election.

not over how it benefits or
harms citizens but on how
it injures or rewards politicians or their parties, the
basic function of government – to protect and serve
the citizens – simply gets
lost in the shuffle.
Despite the confusion and
seemingly rudderless feel of
the presidential primaries,
the Democratic and Republican parties will produce
nominees and those nominees will meet in the general election. A third party
candidate may yet rise and
some believe that candidate
may rise from among candidates already on the nation’s political stage.
What is less predictable is
the impact of this election on
political behavior by the voters. A little food for thought.
In 1992 and 1996, Bill Clinton won huge electoral vote
victories but never carried a
majority of the popular vote
in either election.
Elections, finally, are
about numbers and political operatives who know
how to manipulate those
numbers. In both parties,
the numbers remain largely
up for grabs.

ing zone,” Thomas Perry’s “Forty Thieves,” a suspense thriller
of detective fiction. To my surprise, I sat down and read about
half the book in one day. (My
eyes haven’t forgiven me yet.)
What surprised me most, I
think, was the way in which
Perry makes his characters believable. The novel, like many
of this genre, begins with an unsolved murder, but the private
detectives (a married couple)
have such an interesting rapport with each other that their
conversations are often funny.
Shortly after they begin their
investigation, they begin to be
hunted by a pair of assassins
(also a married couple).

I’ve also been impressed with
the way Perry writes the action
scenes. Maybe it’s because I
grew up with action movies, but
I normally find action scenes
in books to be a little boring.
Describing car chases and
shootouts certainly requires a
different technique when they
take place on a page instead of
a screen, and Perry proves to
be quite adept at keeping the
reader engaged.
In addition to these, I’ve recently read two of our new
nonfiction titles, Brant Pitre’s
“The Case for Jesus” (that I discussed in our last article) and
“The Name of God is Mercy,”
a collaboration of Pope Francis
and Vatican journalist Andrea
Tornielli. While both books are
religious nonfiction, the former is a scholar’s analysis on
the historical claims of Christ,
while the latter is a conversation with the pope on the topic
of mercy. As one may infer from
the title, Pitre makes the case
for the historical accuracy of
Christ’s claims to divinity. For
students who wish to study the
opposing viewpoints, I would
suggest pairing this book with
those written by Bart Ehrman
or Reza Aslan, both of whom
make the case against Christ’s
divine claims (all available
through your Corinth Library).
I recommend “The Name of
God is Mercy” for anyone who is
interested in the person of Pope
Francis and his emphasis on
the theme of mercy (he recently
announced a “Year of Mercy” to
focus on this topic throughout
2016). Conversational instead
of scholarly, this book is perfect
for those who are not familiar
with the Bishop of Rome, as well
as for those who enjoyed John
Paul II’s 1995 book “Crossing
the Threshold of Hope.”

Fiance accused of Life gives lesson on who’s the real sheriff
Pete and Tump were nose to nose,
terrorism charge
circling like two fighting cocks about

enters guilty plea
between them, I commanded,
BY JIMMY REED
Columnist

Associated Press
JACKSON — A young
Mississippi man pleaded
guilty Friday to a terrorism-related
charge,
months after authorities
said he and his fiancée
thought about using their
honeymoon as ruse to go
to Syria to join the Islamic
State.
Muhammad Dakhlalla,
23, pleaded guilty to providing material support
to terrorism and faces
up to 20 years in prison,
$250,000 fines and lifetime probation. His sentencing date hasn’t been
set.
His fiancée, Jaelyn
Delshaun Young, is accused in new court documents of being the mastermind of the plan to
join the Islamic State. Her
trial is set for June 6.
Both remain jailed
without bail in Oxford.
The couple was arrested Aug. 8 before boarding
a flight from Columbus,
Mississippi, with tickets
for Istanbul. Authorities
say they contacted undercover federal agents
last year, seeking online
help in traveling to Syria.
The two, at one point, told
federal agents posing online as recruiters for the
Islamic State that they
planned to disguise their
journey to Syria as a honeymoon.
The couple’s arrest
stunned their families.
Dakhlalla is a 2011 psychology graduate of Mississippi State University
who grew up in Starkville,
a son of a prominent figure in the college town’s
Muslim community. He is
the youngest of three sons
and was preparing to start
graduate school at Mississippi State.
Young, a sophomore
chemistry major from
Vicksburg,
was
the
daughter of a school administrator and a police
officer who served in the
Navy reserve. She was a
former honor student,
cheerleader and homecoming maid at Warren
Central High School.

couple’s attempt to join
the Islamic State, saying
she had already expressed
an interest in converting
to Islam even before she
began dating Dakhlalla in
late 2014.
The papers confirm
that both Young and Dakhlalla left farewell letters “that explained they
would never be back, with
Young acknowledging her
role as the planner of the
expedition and that Dakhlalla was going as her
companion of his own
free will.”
The court papers reiterate earlier government
claims that Dakhlalla,
in online contacts, told
an FBI employee that he
was good with computers
and media and wanted to
contribute to the Islamic
State’s struggle. Court
papers say Dakhlalla
said online that he wanted to become a fighter
and learn “what it really
means to have that heart
in battle.”
The plea agreement
drops a related charge
against Dakhlalla, cutting the possible length of
any imprisonment. However, in the plea agreement signed Wednesday,
Dakhlalla and his lawyer
acknowledged that the
sentencing recommendation would be adjusted
upward because terrorism is involved.
My lifelong best friend and mentor Jaybird warned me not to be
deputized, but our little Mississippi Delta farming community was
too far out for the law’s long arm
to reach quickly, so I let the sheriff
talk me into carrying a badge.
“Purty soon, we might git a
chance to see jes’ how tough a lawman you are,” the old black man
said, as I was leaving for church
one Sunday morning. “Once agin,
Tump Thompson is tryin’ to court
Pete Plugg’s daughter, Lottie Mae.
I’ll let you know if trouble starts
brewin’.”
Pete hated Tump, a ne’er-dowell city slicker, and was determined not to let him anywhere
near Lottie Mae, but since ladies
love outlaws, Tump was the only
suitor she paid attention to.
I strutted into the Lord’s House

The preacher told that wonderful story about how Jesus suffered
and died on the cross and returned
to Heaven to wait for us. After
the last hum of the last hymn, we
farming folks talked weather and
crops a bit, then went our separate
ways. I looked forward to one of
Mama’s big Sunday meals.
Jaybird was waiting. “Tump’s

’nother.”
Pete was a mechanic, and his
backyard was cluttered with junk
cars, spare parts, jacks, hoists …
and Woof — a huge hound, part
Mastiff, part woolly mastodon —
whose sole purpose was protecting his master’s junkyard, a job he
truly loved.
When I pulled up, Lottie Mae
said, “Things is gittin’ clean out
of hand in Daddy’s junkyard. You
might oughta call the law.”
Humph! What did she think I
was? Patting the badge confidently, I strolled around back.
Pete and Tump were nose to
nose, circling like two fighting
cocks about to fricassee each other. Stepping between them, I commanded, “Break it up, boys – I’m
the law.”
I turned to Tump, whose eyes
were as red as maraschino cherries and whose 100-proof breath
would have defoliated cotton.
Flashing my badge, I said,
“Tump, by the authority vested in
me….”
That’s all I had time to say before we were on the ground, grappling fiercely with each other, roll-
ing over and over.
Lottie Mae Plugg was right.
Things were clean out of hand, and
I wasn’t exactly getting the upper
hand either. Then a third combatant entered the fray — Woof!
Tump forgot all about me and
sprinted straight to the nearest
tree. When the sheriff arrived,
that’s where he was … staring
down in abject terror at Woof’s
glistening, salivating fangs.
“Lord, Son, what happened?”
Mama asked, staring woefully at
the coat, with ripped-out elbows
and missing gold buttons.
“Mama, please don’t ask,” I
groaned. “How about we just give
thanks for this meal and eat?”
The next day, I mailed the badge
back to the real sheriff.

Trump rejects calls to temper tone
Associated Press
VANDALIA, Ohio — One
day after well-organized
protesters
led
Donald
Trump to cancel a campaign
rally before it even started,
the Republican presidential
front-runner coldly rejected
calls on Saturday to temper the tone of his events.
He called such protesters a
“disgrace” and blamed them
for fueling violent confrontations at his rallies.
The intensity of the hostility Trump faces among
those opposed to his candi-
dacy was underscored Saturday morning in Ohio.
Secret Service agents
briefly rushed the stage
to form a protective circle
around Trump after a man
leapt over a barricade and
charged toward the billionaire businessman.
The man, later identified
by authorities as Thomas
Dimassimo of Fairborn,
Ohio, was able to physically
touch the stage before he
was tackled by security officials. He was later charged
with disorderly conduct and
inducing panic.
Trump’s rallies in recent
weeks have been marked by
frequent clashes between
his supporters and protesters, many of whom are
young African-Americans
and Latinos. Earlier this
week, video footage captured a white man punching
an African-American protester as police led him out
of a North Carolina rally.
On Saturday, Trump’s
rivals for the Republican
nomination harshly criticized Trump for what had
been taking place at his
events.
But Trump on Saturday
rejected the suggestion that
he or his supporters were
to blame, instead laying responsibility at the feet of
protesters he panned as “a
disgrace.”
“They want me to tell my
people, ‘Please be nice.’ My
people are nice,” Trump
said.
Trump also railed against
the protesters for preventing him from speaking Friday night in Chicago.

agreed they were in the dark
on debt details until Emerson posted the information
on social media earlier in
the month.
“After a short two-hour
meeting with Mr. Mitchell
and school district accountant Kimberley Woodard,
I am proud to inform the
public of the entire truth,”
he said.
According to Emerson,
the school district’s debt
is broken up into four accounts.
Account No. 1 has a balance of $2 million and is
scheduled to be paid in full
in February 2018.
“This is the bond that was
floated to build gymnasiums
for Kossuth and Alcorn Central high schools,” he said.
“Payment is $525,000 per
year and is held out of the
state funded money given
to all school districts. After
2018, the Alcorn County
School District will have
over $500,000 going back
to the bottom line to utilize
however it deems.”
Account No. 2 has a balance of $1.43 million and is
set to expire in 2022.
“This is a three mill tax
levy that is used over time
for operations,” said Emmerson. “It is my understanding that this is a revolving credit account the
district uses for unbudgeted
expenses and will never be
removed as debt.”
Woodard added, “Funds
from this account were also
used for improvements and
additions at Alcorn Central
Middle School, Kossuth
Middle School, the Biggersville High School gym and
the central (district) office.”
Emerson said debt account No. 3, originally over
$1 million, now has a balance of $58,020 and is
scheduled to be paid in full
next month.
“This account was used
for buses,” Woodard added.
Finally, account No. 4 is

possibly the school district’s
worst and most upsetting
debt.
“Originally a $2.16 million
loan in 2010, this account
has a balance of $1.584
million,” said Emerson.
“Scheduled to be paid in
2025, this debt is for Johnson Controls to upgrade our
schools air conditioning,
lighting and other electrical
components.”
Emerson said it was stated that Johnson Controls
would pay for itself within
10 to 15 years by saving electricity.
“It was reported that the
school district would save
an estimated $156,000 to
$196,000 per year, which
was their selling point to
the board at the time, on its
budgeted $780,000 electricity, natural gas and propane usage,” said Emerson.
“Using the district-supplied
numbers, we have actually saved $164,678 — some
$300,000 short of the projected savings.”
Using the average savings
so far and only the initial investment of $2.16 million,
the school district’s return
on investment will take
more than 39 years.
Board President Carroll
Morton said the board will
seek more information on a
guarantee of savings issued
by Johnson Controls.
“They (Johnson Controls)

our savings ... I think we
all reconsidered that (vote)
once that statement was
made — that their accountability standards (forecasted
savings) is what ever they
determine,” said Morton.
According to Woodard,
the district is not in default
on any of the current loans.
However, the district can’t
afford to add new roofs on
school buildings on the Alcorn Central and Kossuth
campus without floating another loan. It is believed that
roof additions is one reason
school closures are being
addressed.
More than 100 people
gathered inside the board
room for the Thursday night
meeting, which featured
public comments from more
than 15 supporters begging
the board to keep the two
schools open.
During
the
meeting,
Mitchell also said no teachers would lose their job if
Glen and Rienzi are closed.
He said pre-K classrooms
would be transferred from
Rienzi to Biggersville.
The superintendent also
confirmed students currently at Glendale would attend
Alcorn Central and students
currently at Rienzi would attend Biggersville.
Emerson closed out the
meeting.
“We are in debt and this
is why — all information we
show know, but I ask why
should Glen and Rienzi pay
the penalty for bad financial
decisions made in the past?”
he said. “We are all common
folks and we have to go in
debt in order to pay for the
things that we need.”

Man dead in boat
collision on river NEW YORK — One
person is dead and
two more are missing
after authorities say a
tugboat overturned and
sunk on New York’s
Hudson River following
a collision with a barge
north of New York City.
WABC-TV in New York
reports the collision
happened early Saturday morning near the
spot where the new Tappan Zee Bridge is under
construction.
Two people have
been pulled from the
water. WABC reports
that one person died on
the way to the hospital,
the other survived. The
U.S. Coast Guard says
searchers are looking
for two more people in
the water.
Snowmobile strikes
two Iditarod teams
ANCHORAGE, Alaska
— Officials in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race
say a person on a snowmobile early Saturday
morning purposely struck
two teams in the race.
A dog on the team of
four-time champion Jeff
King was killed.
Two other dogs on
King’s team were injured. King received
medical attention at the
village of Nulato.
A dog on the team of
Aliy Zirkle also received
what was described as
a non-life-threatening
injury.
Race officials say
the snowmobiler made
repeated attempts to
harm Zirkle and her
team.
Riders glad to hear
rail strike averted NEWARK, N.J. — Riders were expressing
their thanks and relief
Saturday after learning
that New Jersey Transit
and its rail workers had
reached a tentative deal
to avert a strike that
was due to start Sunday morning.
They also were
thrilled to hear Gov.
Chris Christie say that
they won’t have to worry
about fare hikes for a
while to cover the cost
of the settlement.
The deal, announced
Friday between the
transit agency and its
rail workers, averted a
strike that would have
thrown Monday’s commute into New York into
chaos. It put to rest a
dispute that has been
percolating for nearly
five years, when the
last contract expired.
“There’s no way I
would have even tried to
get to work on Monday.
It would have been a
zoo,” Ron Simmons, a
Hamilton Township resident who works for a financial firm in New York
City, said Saturday while
waiting for a train on the
Trenton transit center.
Emerson, Lake and
Palmer founder dies NEW YORK — Keith
Emerson, the keyboardist and founding member of the 1970s progressive rock group Emerson, Lake and Palmer,
died Thursday at home
in Santa Monica, California. He was 71.
The death was announced on Emerson,
Lake and Palmer’s veri-
Daily Corinthian • 7A
Across the State
fied Facebook page Friday. No further details
were provided.
“We ask that the family’s privacy and grief
be respected,” the post
read. An email to the
band’s management
company wasn’t immediately returned.
Emerson, Lake and
Palmer included vocalist/bassist Greg Lake
and drummer Carl
Palmer.
Palmer said in a
statement that he was
“deeply saddened to
learn of the passing
of my good friend and
brother-in-music.”
Reported runaways
actually kidnapped VESTAL, N.Y. — A pair
of teenage sisters who
were reported as runaways last year actually
had been abducted by
a family acquaintance,
and a telephone tip
led to their rescue this
week, authorities say.
Fifteen-year-old
Ky-Lea Fortner and
13-year-old Shaeleen
Fitch-Fortner were found
Wednesday night in Vestal, and a suspect has
been arrested, as well
as the girls’ mother,
who’s accused of helping in the kidnapping,
authorities say.
The sisters were living with a foster family
less than 10 miles away
in Binghamton in April
2015 when they were
reported as runaways,
state police said.
The acquaintance,
29-year-old Amanda
Hellman, is accused
of kidnapping them on
their way to school and
holding them against
their will for 11 months.

Mississippi residents
watch rising waters Residents in Louisiana
and Mississippi were
taking stock of damage
Saturday after a massive deluge of rain submerged roads and cars,
washed out bridges and
forced residents to flee
homes.
The rain and flooding
is part of a weather system that has affected
Louisiana, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Tennessee
and Alabama. At least
three people have died
in Louisiana alone.
In Mississippi, officials
said as many as 1,000
residents could see their
homes flooded by the
rising Leaf River in Hattiesburg, Petal and surrounding areas.
As the Leaf River rose
north of Hattiesburg,
Mississippi, 26-year-old
Rebecca Bruce and her
fiancé grabbed what they
could and left the shed
where they live. She says
she has a book bag full
of dirty clothes and was
lucky to get that.
Bruce was among
about 20 people in a
Red Cross shelter in the
Forrest County Community Center on Saturday,
as creeks and rivers continued to rise after torrential rains across the
Deep South.
Mississippi’s emergency director says the
state is dealing with the
most widespread flooding since Hurricane Isaac
dumped more than 2
feet of rain throughout
the state. But Lee Smithson says it’s not as bad
as expected, because
heavy rain expected
across the Mississippi
Gulf Coast never materialized.
Woman accused
of insurance fraud JACKSON — A 34-yearold Laurel woman has
been arrested on a
charge of insurance
fraud.
Attorney General Jim
Hood says Arnisha Dean
is accused of making
a false and fraudulent
statement to her insurance company, United
Automobile Insurance
Company. Hood said
Friday that Dean bought
insurance online on a
vehicle and minutes
later filed a claim for
damage to a vehicle that
had been wrecked a few
hours earlier that same
day.
Dean was booked into
the Jones County Jail.
Her arraignment is set
for March 15. It was not
immediately known if
Dean is represented by
an attorney who could
comment on her case.
If convicted, she faces
up to three years behind
bars and $5,000 in
fines.
Suspect in shooting
of officer surrenders JACKSON — A man
wanted in connection
with a shooting that injured a Jackson police
officer has surrendered.
Authorities tell WAPTTV that Rashad R. Caston turned himself in Friday. He faces charges of
aggravated assault on a
police officer, attempted
armed robbery of an individual and burglary of an
occupied dwelling.
Officer Abe Gines,
an eight-year veteran,
responded to an armed
robbery call at an apartment complex Wednesday morning. When he
entered an open door, a
suspect emerged from
behind him and fired.
Gines was grazed by
a bullet. He has since
been released in good
condition.
Police Chief Lee Vance
says Gines ran after
Caston following the
shooting but lost him as
he ran through a creek.
Vance praised Gines as
“brave enough to continue the chase despite”
being wounded.
Businessman found
guilty of 13 counts PLYMOUTH, Ind. — A
jury has convicted a businessman on 13 counts
alleging he used a northern Indiana company to
steal hundreds of thousands of dollars.
A Marshall County jury
found 63-year-old David
A. Ferguson of Mississippi guilty Thursday of
charges including theft,
receiving stolen property
and corrupt business
influence.
Marshall County Prosecutor E. Nelson Chipman
Jr. said the former CEO of
Stone Creek Homes and
another executive abruptly shuttered the company
in May 2012, took more
than $250,000 from at
least two customers without fulfilling orders, and
failed to pay employees
some of their paychecks
and insurance premiums.
The company made
mobile living quarters for
workers in oil and gas
fields.
Ferguson is due to be
sentenced April 14.

struments and Fairchild
Semiconductor
battled
for a decade in court over
who came first and deserved the patent, deciding amid the wrangling
it was best to work out a
licensing deal for both
companies.
Amron said his idea
in 1973 came about with
chewing gum. He was
looking for a way to stick
a note on his refrigerator for his wife and used
gum, providing inspiration for the adhesive he
would use on his Presson Memo. That year he
took the sticky notes to a
New York trade show and
met briefly with two 3M
executives, Amron said,
but nothing came of the
meeting.
Fry and Silver came up
with what 3M originally
called the Press ‘n’ Peel
memo pad in 1974, but it
wasn’t brought to the market until 1977 and didn’t
really take off until 1980,
when it was renamed the
Post-it Note. It’s now one
of the top-selling items in
3M’s consumer products
division, which in 2015
earned $4.4 billion for all
products, company figures show.
Post-it Notes have become so iconic that in the
1997 movie “Romy and
Michele’s High School
Reunion,” the title characters, played by Lisa
Kudrow and Mira Sorvino, claim credit for inventing them to impress
their former classmates.
It was also in 1997 that
Amron sued 3M claiming
he was the true inventor.
The case was settled, and
Amron agreed to release
the company from any fu-
ture claims, which intellectual property lawyers
say could make his new
Florida lawsuit difficult to
win.
“I would predict what
he has left perhaps is the
enforcement of a settlement agreement but not
the claims he is pursuing,” said Miami attorney
Jeffrey Feldman, who is
not involved in the case.
“The first thing I would
want to know is whether
or not there was an agreement between them regarding who was allowed
to say what.”
Amron said the agreement was that neither
could claim credit because, years earlier, a
Swiss inventor had supposedly devised a similar
product. But that turned
out to be a less-useful
adhesive, not the entire
sticky note, and Amron
said he felt 3M used the
Swiss tale to trick him
into the settlement — and
is now breaching that deal
by claiming credit for the
product.
No trial date is set for
Amron’s lawsuit, which
survived a 3M initial attempt last month to get
it thrown out based in
part on the prior settlement of similar claims. A
federal judge has ordered
both sides into mediation
to possibly reach a settlement and set various legal
deadlines through December of this year.
Meanwhile, 3M continues to invent things. According to the company’s
year-end 2015 statement,
565 U.S. patents were
granted to 3M — bringing its total to more than
105,000.
Insurance co-ops lost millions last year

FORT
LAUDERDALE,
Fla. — Alan Amron has
invented a battery-powered squirt gun, a digital
photo frame, even a laser
system that may someday
provide a visible firstdown line for fans inside
NFL stadiums. He holds
40 U.S. patents, but he’s
most interested in an
invention for which he
gets no credit: the Postit Note, that ubiquitous
sticky-back product made
into a worldwide success
by the 3M Company.
Amron, 67, says he invented what he called
the Press-on Memo in
1973, a full year before
3M scientists developed
what later became known
as the Post-it Note. Although Amron settled a
previous lawsuit against
3M, he’s suing again in
federal court in Fort Lauderdale. He says the company breached its previous agreement not to take
credit. The settlement is
confidential.
Now Amron wants
$400 million in damages
— and something he says
is even more important to
him.
“l just want them to admit that l am the inventor
and that they will stop
saying that they are the
inventor,” Amron said in
a recent interview. “Every
single day that they keep
claiming they invented it
damages my reputation
and defames me.”
3M, based in Maplewood, Minnesota, is one
of the 30 companies that
make up the Dow Jones
Industrial Average on
the New York Stock Ex-
change. The maker of
Scotch tape, Ace bandages, sandpaper, films,
office products, window
insulation, paint remover
and hundreds of other
products earned more
than $30 billion in revenue in 2015, according
to the company’s website.
The company says Postit Notes were invented by
3M scientists Arthur Fry
and Spencer Silver, both
members of the National
Inventors Hall of Fame.
Silver came up with the
adhesive — one that could
be used over and over yet
not mar surfaces to which
it attached — and Fry the
idea of using it for the
small, yellow squares of
paper to become stickyback notes.
“3M developed Post-it
Notes without any input
or inspiration from Mr.
Amron and it is false and
misleading for him to
state or suggest that he
created, invented, or had
any role in the product’s
development,” said company spokeswoman Donna L. Fleming Runyon in
an email. The company
declined to comment further on the lawsuit.
Fry, now 84 and retired, is named as a defendant in Amron’s lawsuit, but Silver is not. Fry
did not respond to an
email and a phone message seeking comment.
Silver also is retired, Runyon said.
The history of invention is full of people
competing for credit for
the same idea, and often
things come about because smart people are
working separately. Take

The Affordable Care
Act’s health insurance coops absorbed deep financial losses last year, and
2016 is shaping up to be
a make-or-break year for
these nonprofit alternatives to traditional insurers.
Officially called Consumer Operated and Oriented Plans, these stillfledgling insurers were
devised during the ACA’s
creation to inject competition into insurance
markets. But they have
struggled from the start
to build a customer base
from scratch and deal
with higher-than-expected expenses, among other
problems.
Heading into their third
full year of operation, the
co-ops are adding customers and improving
their coverage, but they
also face the end of some
government programs designed to support insurers as they build business
on the ACA’s public insurance exchanges. They will
have to determine soon
whether their businesses
can stand on their own
and compete with more
established carriers.
“Plan year 2016 is a critical year for these co-ops
— they must move from
startup to stability and
improve their financial
capabilities,” said Kevin
Counihan, CEO of the
federal exchange operator
HealthCare.gov, during a
Thursday hearing held by
the Senate’s Homeland
Security & Government
Affairs Committee.
A dozen of the 23 coops created under the law
have closed, and many
of the survivors lost well
over $20 million last year,
according to recently filed
annual statements compiled by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners.
But the co-ops also hit
a growth spurt and now
cover more than 350,000
people, or nearly triple
their total from 2014. Enrollment is growing better
than expected and patient
populations appear to
be getting younger and
healthier in some cases.
That can help cut future
expenses.
Our clients’
interests come first.

Plus, the co-ops are
learning more about their
patient population, which
can help them price future
coverage to cover claims.
These insurers knew
2015 would be ugly, according to Kelly Crowe,
CEO of the trade association the National Alliance
of State Health Co-Ops.
But she said last year’s
numbers don’t reflect
where the co-ops stand
today. Crowe noted that
many are growing methodically and adding
more stable, employersponsored coverage.
“We’re optimistic that
they will continue to grow
and be a viable alternative for people in selecting their health care,”
she said. “They are still financially fragile, though.
There obviously is still
some risk there, as there
is with any start up business.”
Maryland’s Evergreen
Health Cooperative did
the best of the remaining
co-ops in 2015, booking
a loss of $10.8 million.
Land of Lincoln Mutual
Health Insurance Co. in
Illinois lost $90.8 million.
Maine’s
Community
Health Options made
$7.3 million in 2014 but
lost $74 million last year.
More than half of that
stemmed from a reserve
the insurer set aside to
cover future losses.
Both the Maine and Illinois co-ops say higherthan-expected costs hurt
them in 2015.
Hospital and medical
expenses for Community
Health Options more
than doubled to $354.7
million, something CEO
Kevin Lewis attributes in
part to pent-up demand
from people who had
been waiting for coverage in order to seek treatment. A nearly $55-million reinsurance payment
from the federal government helped ease that
blow.
But that program,
which aims to help insurers pay big medical bills,
will end after this year.
Maryland’s Evergreen
Health should turn a profit in 2016, according to
CEO Dr. Peter Beilenson.
He said $7.3 million
of Evergreen’s 2015 loss
came from a payment the
insurer had to make for
a federal risk adjustment
program. That program
aims to help insurers with
high-cost patients by giving them payments from
carriers with healthier patient populations.
Beilenson and other
co-op leaders say the formula for calculating this
risk adjustment is skewed
to favor established insurers, and they are talking
with government officials
about adjusting it.
Evergreen
Health
wound up running a
profit in three of the last
six months of 2015, and
Beilenson said its newer enrollees have been
healthier than initial customers who signed up for
coverage because they
needed care right away.
Montana Health Cooperative also might turn a
profit this year, according to CEO Jerry Dworak.
The insurer lost about
$40.7 million last year,
but Dworak said $31 million of that came from a
charge it took when the
federal government delivered only a fraction of
a payment due under another program designed
to limit insurer losses.
The co-op raised premiums 36 percent on average without losing any
business. It also dropped
an unprofitable plan and
caught a break when a
state Medicaid expansion
took away high-cost patients.
“Everything we’ve done
seems to be working,” he
said. “Of course, we won’t
know for sure for several
months ... but so far, we
have seen a positive turn
from 2015.”

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian
Watch for the Daily Corinthian Crossroads Magazine
Family Edition coming out on Sunday, March 27.
There will be stories about Kossuth native Jill Haley
doing well with makeup, costume and wig design

Friends are stymied on how
to help wife in bad marriage
DEAR ABBY: How can I help
a friend who needs to stand up
for herself and file for divorce?
Her husband is in a high-profile job that’s connected with
hers.
He has been having an affair with a
co-worker
for
years,
and he is
verbally and
sometimes
physically
abusive.
She
has
Abigail called the
Van Buren police twice,
but
didn’t
Dear Abby
press charges.
Friends
are running out of sympathy,
but don’t know how to help her.
Is it wrong to report his behavior to his employer even though
he might get fired because of
it? -- NEEDS TO STAND UP
DEAR NEEDS TO STAND
UP: As your friend may probably be already aware, abuse
doesn’t stay at the same level.
It can escalate from verbal
abuse to pushing and slapping
to serious physical harm and
sometimes even death.
That’s why this woman’s
friends should assure her they
stand with her, and try to convince her to contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline
(800-799-7233; thehotline.org)
and arrange a safe and effective escape plan.
Trained advocates at the hotline have told me that not every
caller will leave after the first -or even the second -- episode
of violence, but at least she will
know what she needs to do.
If she comes to you injured,
get her to an emergency room
for treatment and so that her
wounds can be photographed.
If she shows up at work with
bruises, it’s time to talk to human resources to see if you
can get her some help, but I
would not advise contacting
her husband’s employer.
DEAR ABBY: I’m a happily
married gay man living in metro Atlanta.
My 50th high school reunion
is approaching and I want to
take my husband.
The reunion is being held in
a small rural town in the Midwest.
Of course, I haven’t lived
there in 50 years, but I go there
occasionally for family events.
I come from a large family,
lots of brothers and sisters,
nieces and nephews, and
grandnieces and grandnephews, many of whom still live in
my hometown.
I don’t know if all of them
know about my situation and
I’m not that concerned, but I
am concerned about smalltown gossip that can be meanspirited. I wouldn’t want anyone to be hurt.
I know my relatives interact
professionally and personally
with some of my classmates
and their descendants.
Am I being overly concerned,
or should I just go and let the
chips fall where they may?
That’s the thing about coming out as gay -- it’s an ongoing process, even at my age.
-- GAY GRADUATE IN GEORGIA
DEAR GAY GRADUATE: Go
to the reunion, take your husband and have a good time.
If anyone has a problem with
the fact that you are homosexual and married, do not make it
your problem.
We can’t control what someone might say behind our
backs.
But whatever is said is a reflection on the speaker -- not
us or our relatives.
Because people live in small
towns does not mean they are
all small-minded.
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known
as Jeanne Phillips, and was
founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear
Abby at www.DearAbby.com or
P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles,
CA 90069.
Horoscopes
ARIES
(March
21-April
19). You might do things you
wouldn’t normally do to accommodate someone -- nice of you,
but don’t expect a return on this.
Your payback will be purely spiritual, and therefore it’s up to you
to interpret as you will.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
If you don’t know the answers
yet, don’t worry. You always
find help when you need it. Furthermore, a quick review of the
hits and misses of the last few
weeks will reveal a single, clear,
obvious and empowering goal.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
There is someone out there
who is trying to help you but is
over-helping you instead. The
crazy energy of this feels repellent. Heed the warning in that
feeling.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Life is a journey, and you’re not
wed to the road map. You’re
not even wed to the road itself.
Your vehicle is capable of an
off-roading adventure, and it’s
about time that you went on
one.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Make
yourself comfortable. This won’t
require money. What’s really
needed is some organization.
You have everything that’s required. All you have to do is
quiet your brilliant mind.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Homogeny is the enemy of perspective. You won’t have to go
out of your way to find someone with a different point of
view. And when you find such
a person, don’t hesitate to ask
everything you’ve been wondering about.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
don’t need to jump in and save
the day. In fact, you’ll be better
off hanging back and waiting
to see what’s really necessary.
Play it cool in every way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
While you follow the leader, are
you wishing that you were the
one bringing everyone along
on this tour? It’s a lot of work to
be in that position, but you’re almost ready for it ... almost!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Your family now extends
past the one you were born into.
Most of the people around you
are people you chose in some
fashion. Your relationship with
extended family will greatly influence your day.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You’ll take on a responsibility in order to give another
person a break. This is among
the absolute sweetest things
you can do for a loved one, and
hopefully you’ll be shown the
level of appreciation you so deserve.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You might have to remind
someone of the agreement that
was made. You’re both thinking
of it differently. Forgetfulness
(not malice) is at the root of this.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
The best wrestlers know that
not everything is worth going
to the mat over. Love thrives
because you know how to pick
your battles, and you pick very
few of them, if any at all.

No. 17 Texas A&M tops LSU by 33
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tonny Trocha-Morales scored 13
points as No. 17 Texas A&M
trounced LSU and freshman
star Ben Simmons 71-38 on
Saturday to reach the Aggies’
first conference tournament
championship game since
1994.
The Aggies (26-7) will play for
the Southeastern Conference
Tournament title on Sunday after sharing the regular-season
crown with No. 16 Kentucky.
They will face either the Wildcats or Georgia.
Texas A&M hadn’t reached a
conference tourney championship since losing to Texas 22
years ago in the Southwest Conference. Now, after its eighth
straight victory, it is one win
away from adding its first tournament title since 1987.
The Aggies announced a new
five-year deal with coach Billy
Kennedy before tipoff, and then
they proved he deserved it by
routing the last team to beat
them back on Feb. 13.
Jalen Jones added 12 points
and Admon Gilder had 10. The
Aggies not only held LSU to a
season-low in both points and
made field goals (13) but also
the fewest points scored by a
team in any major conference
this season, according to STATS
LLC.
Simmons finished with 10
points and 12 rebounds for
fourth-seeded LSU (19-14).
The Tigers beat the Aggies 7671 in Baton Rouge but looked
nothing like that team in this
game.
The Aggies missed five of
their first six shots before Trocha-Morelos hit a 3-pointer that
woke them up with 13:29 left,
starting them on what wound
up a crushing 32-5 run. Gilder
punctuated the performance
by beating the buzzer with a
3-pointer for a 35-13 lead at intermission.
LSU led 8-3 in the opening
minutes and had a 13-5 edge
in rebounding when TochaMorelos hit his second 3 to tie
it up at 9 with 11:40 left in the
half. That’s when the Tigers’
mistakes caught up with them
and LSU fell apart with a simply
ghastly performance. The Tigers
wound up with more turnovers
(11) than made shots (five) by
halftime as they missed their final 14 shots.
Tim Quarterman hit two 3s
within the first 2 minutes of the
second half to pull the score to
39-19. The Tigers never got any
closer. Texas A&M spent much
of the second half throwing
down big dunks that had the
Aggies jumping up and down on
the bench. A free throw by Kyle
Dobbins off a technical on Simmons gave the Aggies their biggest lead at 68-28 with 3:05 left.
cuse had been the fewest points
scored by a team in the ACC, Big
12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or
SEC until this game. The Tigers’
previous season low for points
scored was 57, when they lost
to the Aggies on Jan. 19 in College Station. ... Their previous
low for made shots was 19 on
Nov. 30 against the College of
Charleston. They wound up 13
of 63.
Texas A&M: The Aggies will
be playing in their sixth conference tournament final and first
in their fourth trip to this tournament. They haven’t won a
tournament title since beating
Baylor in 1987. ... The Aggies
outrebounded LSU 52-40 and
outscored the Tigers’ bench 4210.

Harvick rates
favorite label
for Phoenix
Associated Press
AVONDALE, Ariz. — Kevin Harvick’s dominance
amazes Carl Edwards.
Jimmie Johnson shrugs
while making Harvick the
favorite on Sunday.
When NASCAR comes
to Phoenix International
Raceway, all drivers chase
Harvick, who has won a
record seven Sprint Cup
races in the desert.
“I think really at this
time in the sport for anyone to be that dominant at
a track it really must have
something special,” Edwards said. “Yeah, I think
the whole field is chasing
those guys and chasing
Kevin and that 4 car at this
track.”
There might be some
hope for the field heading
into Sunday’s 312-mile
race. Kyle Busch, who will
be on the pole, noticed
Harvick’s Chevrolet “was
a little off” on Friday when
he qualified 18th.
But there was Harvick
on Saturday morning with
the second-fastest car in
practice on the mile oval
behind Kurt Busch.
Harvick followed that by
posting the fastest speed
in the final practice session at midday, with track
conditions most resembling those of Sunday afternoon’s race.
“It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I guess if I’m forced
to, the No. 4 car is the one
that we’ll all be paying
close attention to,” Johnson said.
It’s true that when Harvick makes his 500th consecutive Cup start, he won’t
be the defending champion at Phoenix for the
first time since November
2013. His four-race win
streak was snapped last
fall when Dale Earnhardt
Jr. won the rain-shortened
race.
Harvick still led the most
laps and finished second.
“For me personally, this
is a fun place to come just
for the fact that I started
racing here in the mid’90s,” Harvick said. “You
still see some of the same
fans and people that followed your career up
through the ranks.”
The Bakersfield, California, native went from minor league races at Phoenix to dominating this
track after it was repaved
in 2011.
Now Harvick, who has
finished fourth, sixth and
seventh in the first three
races of the season, is
looking to lock up a spot
in the season-ending
Chase for the Sprint Cup
with a track-record eighth
win.
“We grew up on a lot of
these flat style-type tracks,
short tracks, up and down
the West Coast,” Harvick
said. “For whatever reason, all the flat tracks have
just kind of still fit my driving style throughout the
years, whether it be here
or Loudon.
“But obviously this
place, we have had a lot
more success than some of
the others.”
Here are some other
things to watch on the
second leg of NASCAR’s
three-race
Southwest
swing:
Steering Wheel: Expect Johnson to be extra
careful locking in his steering wheel after it came off
in his hands in qualifying
Friday, leading to a scary
wreck.
“I was sitting there with
no steering and no steering wheel and staring at
the blue wall,” Johnson
said. “I was along for the
ride at that point.”
Johnson, who took the
blame for the incident, was
forced to a backup car and
will start at the rear of the
field. He was 13th fastest in
the final practice.
JGR Up Front: Joe
Gibbs Racing took the top
three spots in qualifying,
with Edwards joining Kyle
Busch on the front row
and Denny Hamlin starting third.
New Rules: It will
be the first test for NASCAR’s new downforce
and aerodynamics package on a mile track. Goodyear has also brought new
tires to Phoenix. Drivers
indicated it has been slick
in the fourth turn.
Harvick’s Task: Harvick will have to weave his
way through the field from
the 18th spot.
“I would not discount
him being able to drive up
from his starting position,”
Kyle Busch said. “I don’t
think you can ever count
out Harvick.”
Kentucky rallies
past Georgia
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
Jamal Murray scored 26
points, Tyler Ulis added
25 and both keyed a late
11-3 run that helped No.
16 Kentucky put away
Georgia 93-80 in Saturday’s semifinal of the
Southeastern
Conference Tournament.
Isaiah Briscoe’s putback with 8:16 left put
the Wildcats up 68-67
and Murray followed
with two free throws.
After Houston Kessler’s
jumper got Georgia
within one, Ulis scored
five points while Murray
made a layup during the
critical run that pushed
second-seeded Kentucky
ahead to stay and into
Sunday’s championship
against top-seeded Texas A&M.
Briscoe (12 points) was
also important down the
stretch with a jumper
and feed to Marcus Lee
for a dunk as Kentucky
(25-8) had to work hard
to make its third straight
SEC final.
Yante Maten had 20
points, J.J. Frazier 19
and Kenny Gaines 16
for sixth-seeded Georgia
(19-13), which led most
of the game before faltering down the stretch.
Derek Willis came off
the bench to score 14
points and grab seven rebounds. Alex Poythress
added 10 points for Kentucky, which used 56
percent shooting in the
second half to finish 29
of 58 for the game.
Though
Georgia’s
NCAA prospects remained to be determined, the Bulldogs
succeeded in giving Kentucky a game for more
than 30 minutes. But the
physical strain of playing a third game in as
many days and second
in less than 24 hours appeared to catch up with
the Bulldogs.
Georgia controlled the
tempo and the momentum, answering every
Kentucky challenge with
a basket or rebound that
had a blue-clad crowd at
Bridgestone Arena anxious.

SEC Tournament keeps shaking up bubble
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
There may be no tournament more volatile than
the Southeastern Conference, where it seems just
about every outcome has
some effect on the NCAA
Tournament’s
ever-expanding bubble.
Georgia knocks off
South Carolina, sending
its stock soaring while
making everyone take a
closer look at the Gamecocks.
Kentucky puts the final
dagger in Alabama, giving
hope to dozens of other
teams hoping for an atlarge bid.
And Texas A&M buries
Florida, potentially keeping the Gators out of the
dance.
Toss in LSU’s victory
over Tennessee to keep
the NCAA Tournament
dreams of standout freshman Ben Simmons alive,
and the quarterfinals Friday played havoc with
bracketologists
everywhere.
“It’s really good for our
players to focus on their
next opponent, and at
the end of the day, we’re
hopeful that those things
take care of themselves,”
Tigers coach Johnny
Jones said of his team’s
NCAA hopes.
“I thought we played
a really good basketball
team in Tennessee today
and that’s where their
focus had to be,” he said.
“They knocked off a very
good Vanderbilt basketball team yesterday, and
I thought our guys had to
stay engaged.”
On Saturday, LSU was
drilled by Texas A&M in
one semifinal. Kentucky
defeated Georgia in the
other.
As for the rest of the
league’s bubble-dwelling
teams? A nervous wait for
Selection Sunday.
The Gamecocks (24-8)
have only beaten Texas
A&M in the RPI’s top 50,
a sorry strength of schedule will do them no favors.
The Crimson Tide (1814) seemed like an NCAA
Tournament lock before
their months-long swoon
hit. Florida (19-14) has a
strong schedule but poor
results against the best
foes.
“I hate to be generic,”
Gators coach Mike White
said, “but I just think
there’s so many teams in
this league that, if given
the opportunity, would be
really competitive in the
NCAA Tournament.”
On the rise
Michigan. The Wolverines (22-11) stunned No.
10 Indiana in the Big Ten
quarterfinals, the kind of
signature win that may
have gotten them safely
into the field. Michigan
can be more certain by
beating No. 13 Purdue in
Saturday’s semifinals.
Davidson. The Wildcats
(20-11) are crashing the
Atlantic 10 party at the
Barclays Center in Brooklyn, beating St. Bonaventure in the quarterfinals.
Now, the Bonnies (228) are left on the bubble
while Davidson tries
to play its way into the
NCAA Tournament.
Dayton and Saint Joseph’s. Speaking of the
A-10, those two took care
of business with their
quarterfinal wins. Now,
the Fliers (25-6) and
Hawks (25-7) have built
strong cases for at-large
bids — they face each other in the first of the semifinals Saturday.
San Diego State. The
Aztecs (25-8) beat Nevada in the Mountain
West semifinals, but they
remain on shaky ground.
Winning their league
tournament would take
all the stress out of Selection Sunday.
Fading hope
Ohio State. The Buckeyes (20-13) no-showed
against
second-ranked
Michigan State in an 8154 loss. It was the kind of
listless performance that
NCAA Tournament se-
lection committees were
sure to notice.
Houston and Tulsa. It
was a rough day for the
American with the Cougars (22-9) falling to woeful Tulane and the Golden
Hurricane (20-11) losing
to Memphis. Hey, maybe
everybody was too busy
talking about UConn’s
four-overtime
thriller
over Cincinnati to notice?
George
Washington.
For all the teams rising
in the A-10, there had to
be somebody falling. The
Colonials (23-10) were it,

1607 South Harper Rd., Corinth
STONY BROOK, N.Y. —
Everybody wanted a photo
with the hero and Jameel
Warney was happy to oblige.
With a net around his
neck and an MVP trophy in
his arms, Stony Brook’s unstoppable big man obliged
fan after fan. Warney and
his teammates were in no
rush to leave the floor. The
Seawolves had been so close
to winning this championship and earning this NCAA
bid before, they clearly
wanted to savor the accomplishment.
Nobody was more responsible than Warney, who
scored 43 points to set an
America East Tournament
record and lead Stony Brook
to an 80-74 victory against
Vermont on Saturday.
Top-seeded Stony Brook
(26-6) had reached the tournament final four times in
the last five seasons, including the last two years, and
lost each time — each defeat
seemingly more excruciating than the last. Last year, a
3-pointer with just seconds
left by Albany kept the Seawolves out of the NCAAs.
“I think you have to go
through last year, even
though no one wants to
hear it, to get to this place to
not make these same kind
of mistakes,” Stony Brook
coach Steve Pikiell said.
From heartbreak has
come resolve, the Seawolves
say, and they needed it
against Vermont. They were
down 15 in the second half,
but Warney’s inside game
was too much for thirdseeded Catamounts (21-13).
Carson Puriefoy contributed 23 points and some big
free throws down the stretch
for Stony Brook.
Instead of thinking, ‘Oh,
no, not again,’ it was just the
opposite from Stony Brook.
“My mindset was we’re
not going to let this happen,” said Puriefoy, a senior
like Warney who was down
to his last shot at the NCAA
Tournament.
Vermont went up by 13
with 16:00 left in the second
half when Bell-Haynes got a
runner in the lane to bounce
through. Pikiell called timeout and the crowd was
stunned silent — for a few
seconds.
Stony Brook’s 4,100-seat
on-campus arena still has
the smell of new plastic
seats two years after a major renovation, and it was
jammed with red-clad fans.
The Long Island school has
invested heavily in athletics
in recent years and residents
of the suburbs that surround
this campus, 60 miles east
of Manhattan, have mostly
embraced the attempt to
bring big-time college sports
to Suffolk County.
Stony Brook tied it at 61
with 6:19 left on a short
jumper by Rayshaun Mc-
Grew, the other star senior.
When Warney made a free
throw with 5:59 left, Stony
Brook led 62-61.
The Seawolves and their
fans, so desperate to finally
break through and play the
main stage of March Madness, would have to endure
another nervous finish.
Warney got free down the
baseline and put the Seawolves up 73-70 with 2:01
left. Then it was Warney
again, this time securing a
rebound with one hand and
flipping it back to make it
75-72.
Warney said Pikiell told
him before the game he
would need at least 20 shots
from the three-time conference player of the year. “I
was like, I don’t know if I can
do that,” said Warney, who
was 18 for 22 from the field.
Two more free throws by
Puriefoy with 46.4 second
left made it a two-possession game, 77-72. Of course,
it was Warney to all but finish it off, grabbing another
rebound for an easy putback
with 20 seconds left to make
it 79-74.
“He played out of his
mind,” Vermont’s Ethan
O’Day said. “He did whatever he wanted.”
And what he wanted to
do when it was over was to
bask in the moment with
fans. “If they need more
pictures,” Warney said, “I’ll
take them.”
Tip ins
Vermont: Forward Darren Payen took a hard fall
when he was fouled going
up for a fast-break dunk late
in the first half. The 6-foot8 Payen landed hard on his
side and back, stayed down
for a couple minutes but
walked off slowly without
assistance. Roland Nyama
was given a flagrant. Dre
Wills made one free throw
and Everett Duncan hit a 3
on the ensuing possession,
which gave Vermont a seven-point lead. Wills had a layup on a runout as time expired to put the Catamounts
up 36-27 at half. Payen
started the second half.
Stony Brook: Pikiell is a
former UConn player and
assistant coach, and former
Huskies great Jim Calhoun
was at Stony Brook to watch
his protege.
Up next
Stony Brook is off to the
NCAA Tournament, and the
Seawolves don’t care where
they’ll play. “We’ll worry
about next week later on
down the road,” Pikiell said.
If Vermont wants to play
in the postseason, the NIT
might not be an option.
Maybe another tournament
will invite them.

Columnist shares story of life with dogs
BY KIMBERLY SHELTON
[email protected]
From cold wet noses to
excitedly wagging tails,
author Rheta Grimsely
Johnson pays tribute to
the four-legged companions of her life in her latest book titled “The Dogs
Buried Over the Bridge”.
Conjuring images of a
ceramic St. Bernard bank,
generous pans of cornbread and one big galoot
named Monster, the longtime dog owner relates
her joys and heartaches as
she continues to navigate
through life’s uncertain
waters, almost always
with a dog by her side.
“For me, a significant
pet must be a dog. Anything else is a weak substitute, a decaffeinated
coffee. I love dogs. Dogs
with their dignified silence. Dogs with their total lack of pretension and
hypocrisy,” she writes. “I
have had, and have, a cat.
Cats have an angle. Dogs
are guileless. Dogs and
dogs along are requisite
in my household.”
Bringing her readers
along for the journey,
Johnson welcomes them
into a “select fraternity
that pledges love to a
creature whose days are
numbered and whose
needs are many”.
Beginning as a “starry-eyed” newlywed who
delays finishing college
to start a newspaper on
Georgia’s idyllic St. Simmons Island, the syndicated columnist winds
her way through other
“Southern
newspapers
large and small,” eventually ending up in “dogfriendly” Fishtrap Hollow, (near Iuka).
“Longtime readers of
my column always ask
about its frequent dateline, Fishtrap Hollow.
They seemed to want to
know more,” said the author. “In response, I’ve
given them this new book
about my nearly 30 years
in North Mississippi near
Pickwick Lake and Iuka.
I feature the critters and
people that make my old
dark hollow a beautiful
and lively place.”
Filled with cherished
memories and colorful
canine antics, the book
also identifies dogs as
metaphors for love, loss
and life.
“Over the years, I have
found it harder and harder to separate the humans from the dogs. That
would be like separating
the past from the present, or memory from reality. Why bother anyway?
Maybe all we are is an
amalgamation of the animals we have loved, the
things they have taught
us. Certainly we learn
more from them than
they do from us.” said the
dog owner.
Born in Colquitt, Ga.,
and reared in Pensacola,
Fla., and Montgomery,
Ala., Johnson discovered
her true home when she
moved to Mississippi in
1979.
Having spent most of
her adult life writing for
newspapers all over the
South, the writer has written columns pretty much
exclusively for the past 34
years. Her first book was
a collection of columns
called “America’s Faces in
1987.” She is also proud
to have written the only
authorized biography of
“Peanuts” creator Charles
Schulz, the 1988 “Good
Grief.”
Her other works include, “America’s Faces”
(1987) “Georgia” (2000),
“Poor Man’s Provence:
Finding Myself In Cajun
Louisiana” (2008) , “Enchanted Evening Barbie
and the Second Coming” (2010) and “Hank
Hung the Moon and
Warmed Our Cold, Cold
Hearts” (2012). Her first
play, “Hiram: Becoming
Hank Williams,” about
the country singer’s early
years, premiered in Alabama last month.
A lark rather than a
nightingale, the author
prefers to write in the wee
hours of the morning as
opposed to night.
“If I try and wait ’til
noon or later, nothing
gets written,” she said. “I
don’t need vistas or a fancy office. I have a corner
in my bedroom at both of
my homes where I write.”
“If someone would lock
me in a closet, that would
work best of all,” she added.
Rheta’s advice to others
who wish to become published authors: “Listen to
other people, to their stories and manner of speaking. We live in a region of
storytellers, and I’m not
“The Dogs Buried Over the Bridge” relates the life story of nationally syndicated columnist Rheta Grimsley
Johnson through tender tales of her canine companions.
“Over the years, I have
found it harder and harder to
separate the humans from
the dogs. That would be like
separating the past from the
present, or memory from
reality. Why bother anyway?”
Rheta Grimsley Johnson
Author and syndicated columnist
talking about published
authors,” she said. “The
South is rich in evocative language and tangled
lives. It all makes for good
reading, but you have to
hear it first.”
Autographing her newest novel, Johnson will
hold a book signing at the
Iuka Library at noon on
Tuesday, June 21.
Hardbacks are $26.95,
the amount you’d probably spend on lunch with
friends, and are available for purchase online
at blairpublisher.com or
wherever books are sold.
The book is not available
in paperback, but can be
bought as an eBook.
Syndicated today by
King Features of New
York, Rheta’s columns
appear in 50 newspapers
nationwide,
including
“Daily Corinthian”.
The columnist currently splits her time between
Iuka and Pass Christian
where she resides with
her husband, Hines Hall
– a retired Auburn University history professor,
their cat Oatmeal, and
their dogs Hank and Boozoo.
Author Rheta Grimsley Johnson has won numerous awards while reporting for regional newspapers
and in 1981, was inducted into the Scripps Howard
Newspapers Editorial Hall of Fame.
New book offers touching journey through Alzheimer’s
BY TERRI
SCHLICHENMEYER
The Bookworm Sez
“Before I Forget” by
B. Smith & Dan Gasby
with Michael Shnayerson, foreword by Rudolph
Tanzi, PhD
c.2016, Harmony Books
$25.00 / $33.00 Canada
322 pages
You can’t remember
what you came into the
room for.
That happens with
disturbing
frequency.
Forgetting your glasses,
losing your keys, it really bothers you because
you’re not sure if it’s a
normal part of aging or
something else. And in
the new book “Before I
Forget” by B. Smith &
Dan Gasby with Michael
Shnayerson, the worry
isn’t yours alone.
For most of her life, B.
Smith was a whirlwind of
activity. She was a model, and had her own line
of household goods, TV
shows, and restaurants
she co-owned with her
husband, Dan Gasby. She
was known for her sense
of style and her elegance.
And then, a few years
ago, something uncharacteristic began to happen:
the woman who was put
together, inside and out,
began to display emotional outbursts, use inappropriate language, and her
fashion sense faltered.
Her memory faded until it
frightened the couple and
they sought help.
Smith, as it turned out,
had mild-stage Alzheimer’s.
A take-charge kind of
guy, Gasby did his research.
“Some 5.2 million
Americans are living with
Alzheimer’s,” he says; half
a million people die of it
every year. Perhaps due
to higher rates of diabetes
and heart disease, it hits
the black community the
hardest: by age 85, “half
of all African Americans
have it.”
Knowing the facts
can be empowering, but
they don’t make deal-
ing with the disease any
easier. Smith lost things
constantly;
“hoarded”
clothing, to Gasby’s irritation; and, though she
was previously fastidious,
ignored sloppiness. She
shut family out physically
and friends, emotionally.
Long-ago
recollections
were sharp, but her shortterm memory was all but
lost.
When things got worse
and Smith was inadvertently put in a dangerous
situation, the family found
expert advice, only to learn
that there was little they
could do. Alzheimer’s has
no cure. It can barely be
“managed.” They would
just have to deal with the
day-to-day challenges and
learn to cope…
Of his wife, and their
plans one day, author Dan
Gasby says, “She sits…at
the breakfast table, the
love of my life, waiting
quietly for me to tell her
what to do.”
Is there a sentence
more heartbreaking than
that? I don’t think so, and
you’d be likewise hardpressed to find a book
that will affect you more
than “Before I Forget.”
Would you blame anyone if you saw a pity-party in this book? Probably
not, but there’s no whining in Gasby’s words, nor
will you find “poor me”
in what B. Smith contributes (with Michael Shnayerson). Instead, there’s
resignation here; a we’llget-through-this wrapped
in a love story that gets
more and more poignant
as the story progresses.
Gasby, who is fierce about
Alzheimer’s
education,
also offers up-to-date information and advice on
what worked for him and
Smith, and what doesn’t.
Without being a spoiler,
there is no happy ending
to this book, save but the
sheer love that makes
it soar. If you’re an Alzheimer’s caretaker, or
are facing the disease
yourself, you absolutely
will want this memoir.
“Before I Forget” is a book
you never will…

The
following
local residents have received their degree from
Western Governors University (WGU). The university held its 30th semiannual commencement
ceremony in Orlando on
Feb. 6 and celebrated the
graduation of more than
7,300 graduates.
Amy Wilkins of Corinth
has received her Bachelor
of Science in Nursing.
Corbit
Wallace
of
Corinth has received his
Bachelor of Science in
Business - Human Resource Management.
The university awarded
4,557 undergraduate and
2,759 graduate degrees
in business, information
technology, K-12 teacher
education, and health care
professions,
including
nursing.
Graduates reside in all
50 states, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, as
well as Armed Forces

Health
Drug coupons mask the real price of medicines
BY TRUDY LIEBERMAN
Rural Health News Service
What would make your
medicines cheaper?
That’s a question Americans are asking every
time they go to the pharmacy and find the price
of a maintenance drug
they’ve been taking has
doubled or tripled, or
that a new medicine, like
one of the new diabetes
drugs, their doctors have
prescribed is beyond their
means.
Increasingly the answer
from the drug industry,
which pretty much can
charge whatever it wishes,
is more patient assistance
programs that come in the
form of coupons, co-pay
cards, or vouchers to help
people buy their drugs.
People needing help can
also apply directly to a
pharmaceutical company, and if their income is
low enough, the company
simply sends a supply of
medicine to their home or
doctor’s office. How many
times have you heard on
TV that AstraZeneca can
help?
The coupon, co-pay
route to helping patients
is easiest to understand.
The industry calls the
coupons “pay-no-more “
cards telling patients they
will pay no more than
$50 or $100 for a prescription. Discounts vary
by the type of drug. Some
work like airline loyalty
programs: Buy so many
drugs and get the next
one free.
E-vouchers are more
complicated and hardly
transparent. A pharmacy
sends a prescription to a
middleman vendor. The
vendor works with the
drug company to figure
out how much of the patient’s cost sharing that’s
required by the insurer
it will pay on the patient’s behalf. Rules and
amounts patients receive
vary depending on the
kind of drug.
Andrew Pollpeter, a
senior principal with the
Amundsen Group, an
IMS Health Company,
told me the company sets
the amount of the voucher, and the patient doesn’t
know much about it. But,
he said, “they are happier
when they see a lower copay.”
All this sounds great for
patients, right? It may
not be in the long-run.
Recently the Oversight
Committee of the House
of Representatives held
hearings on the high price
of pharmaceuticals. It
found that one company
tried to divert attention
from the high price of its
drugs by publicizing its
patient assistance programs.
Committee
member
Eleanor Holmes Norton,
D-DC, was blunt when she
questioned one company
executive who was testifying. “In other words, instead of keeping the price
so it could be purchased
by patients and hospitals,
you went to patient assistance programs to try to
obscure the price.” Hol-
mes Norton got the point:
No matter the kind of assistance program, the underlying price of the drug
remains high.
Patient assistance programs are nothing new.
Several years ago I sat
next to a drug company
executive at a dinner and
asked him why his company made it so hard for
poor people to qualify for
assistance. (The requirements can be difficult to
meet.) He replied that if
the company were more
generous, it would hurt
the bottom line.
The bottom line is still
all-important, but today drug makers have a
PR problem. They need
to appear more benevolent. There’s genuine
public backlash against
their companies’ pricing
strategies, and Congress
is asking questions. By
becoming more “patient
centric,” a word they use
to describe their marketing path, they look like
good guys while keeping
prices high and profits up.
Drug companies have
another problem patient
assistance programs aim
to solve. Large numbers
of patients are not taking
their medicines as their
doctors ordered, either
because they can’t afford
them or because the medicines make them sick.
No matter the reason, it
translates into lost sales.
Stats from the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics show that only
25 percent of patients
with drug deductibles will
most likely still be taking
their brand name drugs
after six months compared with 40 percent in
plans without such deductibles.
The rate at which patients don’t pick up with
meds at the pharmacy is
60 percent higher for new
patients with brand drug
prescriptions and drug
deductibles than those
who don’t have drug deductibles. “If patients
walk away, they frequent-
ly don’t come back with
an alternative prescription,” says Pollpeter.
According to Matt Lamkin, an assistant professor
at the University of Tulsa
College of Law who studies this issue, drug companies believe “they are leaving billions on the table”
when patients don’t take
their pills. Trying to help
more people stay on their
meds “reframes the goal of
boosting sales as a goal of
public service,” he told the
health news site STAT.
Transforming
drug
companies from bad
guys to good guys with
the magic of PR will help
some patients get cheaper
medicines and no doubt
boost sales. It will do little
to get us out of the bigpicture jam. Drug prices
are still too high and out
of reach for too many
Americans.

Study backs new method Overall fitness, body fat key for health
for matching kidneys
BY LAURAN NEERGAARD
AP Medical Writer
BY LAURAN NEERGAARD
AP Medical Writer
WASHINGTON — Nearly 1 in
3 patients who needs a kidney
transplant is especially hard to
match, and new research suggests a painstaking treatment
to help those patients tolerate
an incompatible organ is worth
considering.
More hospitals have begun
offering so-called desensitization therapy to help high-risk
patients who have a willing
but non-matching living donor
receive an organ their bodies
otherwise would reject. Some
specialty centers have reported
success but it wasn’t clear how
well the approach would work
when used widely.
Now an analysis from nearly
two dozen transplant centers
found patients who took that
chance had better long-term
survival than those who stayed
on the waiting list, whether
or not they eventually found a
match from a deceased donor.
“Desensitization is still not
for every transplant center,”
said senior author Dr. Dorry
Segev of Johns Hopkins University, which helped pioneer
incompatible transplants. But
the findings show “you don’t
need a compatible living donor
to make a transplant happen
today — you just need a living
donor.”
The study is published in
Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine.
More than 100,000 people
are on the national waiting list
for a kidney but just 17,878
transplants were performed
last year, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing.
More than 12,000 were kidneys
from someone who just died;
the rest come from living donors, considered the optimal
kind.
Finding a match goes beyond
blood and tissue type. Some
patients are “sensitized,” their
bodies abnormally primed with
antibodies that can immediately attack many donated kidneys. Pregnancy, blood transfusions, a previous transplant and
longer time spent on dialysis all
can trigger production of those
antibodies.
Those patients sometimes
achieve transplants through kidney exchanges that widen the
organ pool by mixing up pairs
of would-be donors and their recipients for better matches.
The other option is desensitization: Patients take potent
immune-targeting medications
and have their blood filtered to
remove specific antibodies that
would target their living donor’s
kidney. If they had to wait for a
deceased donor, the antibodies
could form again. Infection is a
risk, and desensitization adds
thousands of dollars to a transplant’s cost.
Segev’s team analyzed records of 1,025 patients around
the country who received incompatible living-donor transplants. They were compared to
groups of similarly ill patients
who remained on the waiting
list in hopes of a match from a
deceased donor.
After eight years, 76 percent
of the desensitized patients who
got incompatible transplants
were still alive, he reported.
That compares with 63 percent survival in a group where
just under half of those waiting
eventually got a deceased-donor transplant — and 44 percent survival among those still
waiting without a transplant.
The study shows the technique “may save lives and may
be cost-effective over time,”
Dr. Lionel Rostaing, a kidney
specialist at France’s Toulouse
University, wrote in an accompanying editorial.
WASHINGTON — The bathroom scale may show a good
number but how much of that
weight is fat, not muscle? New
studies are adding to the evidence that the scale doesn’t always tell the whole story when
it comes to weight-related
health risks.
Keeping body fat low is more
important for healthy aging
than a low overall weight, researchers reported Monday in
the journal Annals of Internal
Medicine. A separate study
found young people who aren’t
physically fit are at greater risk
of developing Type 2 diabetes
later in life even if their weight
is healthy.
Here are some things to
know:
Isn’t BMI important?
Yes. Body mass index, or
BMI, is a measure of a person’s weight compared to
their height. For many people,
that’s plenty of evidence to
tell if they’re overweight or
obese and thus at increased
risk of heart disease, diabetes
and premature death. Generally, a BMI of 25 and above
indicates overweight, while
30 and above indicates obesity. Someone who is 5 feet, 9
inches would hit that obesity
threshold at 203 pounds.
Not a perfect measure
Some people have a high
BMI because they’re more
muscular. More common are
people who harbor too little
muscle and too much body fat
even if their BMI is in the normal range.
Body composition shifts as
we age, with the proportion
of muscle decreasing and the
proportion of body fat increasing. That slows metabolism,
making it easier to put on
pounds in middle age even if
people haven’t changed how
they eat or how much they exercise.
diabetes risk — regardless of
whether the men were normal
weight or overweight. Scoring
low on both added to the risk.
Fat findings
Dr. William Leslie of the
University of Manitoba wondered if poorly measured body
fat might help explain the
controversial “obesity paradox,” where some studies have
suggested that being moderately overweight later in life
might be good for survival. He
tracked 50,000 middle-aged
and older Canadians, mostly
women, who’d undergone
screening for bone-thinning
osteoporosis. Those screening
X-rays — known as DXA for
dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry — measure bone and
also allow an estimation of fat.
A higher percent of body fat,
independent of the person’s
BMI, was linked to reduced
survival, Leslie reported. Risk
began rising when body fat was
in the range of 36 percent to 38
percent. Interestingly, being
underweight also was linked to
reduced survival, possibly reflecting age-related frailty.
“It’s not just the amount
of body you’ve got, but what
you’re actually made of,” Leslie concludes.
And fitness time counts
A high BMI is one of the
biggest risk factors for Type 2
diabetes. But a second study
reported in Annals Monday
suggests people can still be at
risk if they’re skinny but not
physically fit.
Researchers in Sweden and
New York checked records
of about 1.5 million Swedish
men who at age 18 received
medical exams for mandatory
military service, and tracked
how many developed diabetes
many years later.
Low muscle strength and
low aerobic fitness each were
associated with an increased
What do
the findings mean?
For diabetes, “normalweight persons may not receive appropriate lifestyle
counseling if they are sedentary or unfit because of
their lower perceived risk,”
wrote obesity specialist Peter
Katzmarzyk of Louisiana’s
Pennington Biomedical Research Center, who wasn’t involved in the study.
That study also suggests fitness in adolescence can have
long-lasting impact.
And Leslie said doctors
should consider patients’ body
composition, not just weight,
in assessing their health.
How to tell
Most people won’t benefit
from a DXA scan for fat, said
Dympna Gallagher, who directs the human body composition laboratory at Columbia
University Medical Center and
thinks those tests are more for
research than real life.
Other methods for determining body composition
range from measuring skinfold thickness to “bioimpedance” scales that use a tiny
electrical current, but all have
varying degrees of error, Gallagher said. Plus, normal body
fat varies with age and there’s
no agreement on the best cutoffs for health, she said.
Her
recommendation:
Check your waistline, even if
your BMI is normal. Abdominal fat, an apple-shaped figure,
is riskier than fat that settles
on the hips. The government
says men are at increased risk
of health problems if their
waist circumference is larger
than 40 inches, and 35 inches
for women.
Peanuts for babies? Studies back early-prevention strategy for allergies
BY LINDSEY TANNER
AP Medical Writer
CHICAGO — Two new studies bolster evidence that feeding
babies peanuts or other allergyinducing foods is more likely
to protect them than to cause
problems.
One study, a follow-up to
landmark research published
last year, suggests that the early prevention strategy leads to
persistent, long-lasting results
in children at risk for food allergies. It found that allergy protection lasted at least through age 5
and didn’t wane even when kids
stopped eating peanut-containing foods for a year.
That means at-risk kids who
don’t want to eat peanut butter
on a weekly basis can safely take
a break, at least for a year.
The second new study suggests that the early strategy
could also work with eggs, an-
other food that can cause allergies in young children. It found
that allergies to peanuts and
eggs were less common in young
children who started eating
those foods at 3 months of age
than in kids who as infants received only breast milk.
Food allergies are common,
potentially serious and sometimes deadly. They’re becoming more prevalent in children
in many countries, affecting up
to 8 percent of kids under age
3. About 2 percent of U.S. kids
have peanut allergies.
The results from last year’s
study prompted a sea change in
experts’ approach to preventing
these allergies. It was the first
“to show that early introduction of peanut can prevent the
development of allergy to it,”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of
the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases, said in
a statement.
It also led to new draft guidance issued Friday by a panel
convened by Fauci’s agency.
The recommendations include
giving at-risk kids peanut-containing food as early as 4- to
6-months of age. Infants at risk
are those with severe skin rashes
or egg allergies; allergy tests are
recommended beforehand.
The agency will issue final
guidelines after a 45-day comment period. The draft guidance
echoes advice issued last year by
the American Academy of Pediatrics in response to the study.
That study involved more
than 600 at-risk British infants.
By age 5, peanut allergies were
much less common in children
who had started eating peanutbased foods before age 1, usually
peanut butter or a peanut-based
snack, than among children
who’d been told to abstain.
The follow-up involved most
of those children. After a year
off, an additional three kids in
both groups tested positive for
peanut allergies. The allergies
remained much less common in
the early peanut eaters — affecting just under 5 percent of those
kids versus almost 19 percent of
the others.
The results suggest that early
introduction of allergy-inducing
foods results in “true tolerance”
in at-risk kids, said Dr. Stacy
Dorris, an allergist at Vanderbilt
University Medical Center. She
was not involved in the research.
The second study involved
1,300 study breast-fed British
children randomly assigned to
get several types of allergy-inducing foods or just breast milk.
The strongest results were
with peanut-based food and
eggs but there was one hitch.
About 60 percent of the early
eaters didn’t stick to the program. Some may have had immature swallowing skills; some
doctors don’t recommend starting solid foods until around 4
months of age. But it’s possible
some parents stopped giving
solid foods because they noticed
allergy-like symptoms, which
may have included false alarms,
said Dr. Gideon Lack, a King’s
College London researcher who
led all three studies.
The results suggest feeding
these foods to at-risk infants is
safe, but often not feasible in
infants so young, said Dr. Gary
Wong, a Hong Kong pediatrician. Still, Wong said the new
studies confirm that the old approach to preventing food allergies is probably obsolete.
“Evidence is really building
up. It appears early introduction
would be better off than avoidance,” said Wong.

Singer recalls Cuba show, gives advice to Stones
BY MESFIN FEKADU
AP Music Writer
NEW YORK — Chris
Cornell remembers the
challenges that he and
members of Audioslave
faced when they were
planning a free concert
in Havana a decade ago,
and he’s encouraging the
Rolling Stones to tell their
musician-friends to perform in the country that
once persecuted young
people for listening to
rock music after the band
visits later this month.
In 2005, Cornell, Tom
Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk flew
to Cuba in the Miami
Heats’ jet and filmed their
visit and outdoor concert
in Havana for a DVD, all
while Fidel Castro still
ruled.
Cornell said the band
spent $1 million to fund
the concert at the AntiImperialist Tribunal.
“It wasn’t easy ... but we
figured out how to do it,”
he said.
On March 25, the Rolling Stones will perform
a free show at Havana’s
Ciudad Deportiva, becoming the most famous
act to play Cuba since its
1959 revolution.
“What about all these
other enormous bands?”
Cornell said of encouraging other acts to perform.
“Particularly, I was
thinking British bands,
Australian bands that
have sold millions and
millions of records that
can afford to go play for
this audience — how
come no one has come?
And I sort of halfway assumed because we did it,
in probably the most difficult way possible, people
would follow, and I’m
kind of surprised that it’s
taken this long, but I am
superhappy that the Rolling Stones are doing it!”
Cornell added that Cu-
Cryptoquip
“I really didn’t think the same
after I left (Cuba). I really
understood what music is and
how it’s that language that
everybody speaks no matter
what other audible language
you speak.”
Chris Cornell
Lead singer, Audioslave
ban fans are “amazing
people and they deserve
to see every rock band
that you or I or anybody
else gets to see.”
The Cuban government
has eased restrictions on
the arts and recently has
allowed more large gatherings not organized by
the state. Colombian singer Juanes drew more than
a million people to a show
titled “Peace without
Frontiers” in Havana’s
Revolution Plaza in 2009,
and Diplo, the Grammywinning electronic DJproducer, recently performed in Havana with
his group, Major Lazer.
The Stones, who will
perform three days after
President Barack Obama
visits Havana, are expected to draw a large crowd.
“I think that they’re just
going to have a fantastic time and they should
just use up every second
that they’re there and not
sleep and just be there
talk to any strangers,” he
added.
Cornell and his former
bandmates visited art galleries, radio stations, theaters and music schools.
A government official accompanied the band and
crew as they shot footage
for the live concert and
documentary, “Live in
Cuba.”
“She was in charge of
making sure it was OK, everything we did, and if she
said ‘yes’ the camera was
on,” he said. “We didn’t try
to sneak anything.”
Cornell, 51, said he
wants to go back to Cuba
and tried to plan another
concert five years ago, but
it didn’t pan out.
“I really didn’t think the
same after I left,” he said.
“I really understood what
music is and how it’s that
language that everybody
speaks no matter what
other audible language
you speak.”

with the Cuban people,”
Cornell said. “I also think
that upon their exit they
need to ... tell all their
friends in the music business and all their friends
who are in bands who can
afford to follow suit, and
go right in and play music
for the Cuban people.”
The
Soundgarden
frontman said that planning the 2005 show —
with the help of the U.S.
State Department — was
trying and unpredictable.
He said that although
the U.S. was OK with the
band’s five-day visit, “Fidel Castro hadn’t decided
if it was going to work for
him or not, and they were
reviewing our music and
the tone of it.”
“From the American
side, there was definitely
a lot of caution. They told
us that our rooms would
likely be bugged, they
told us we would likely be
followed ... (and) not to
NEW YORK — It doesn’t
take a high-tech headset
to see that virtual reality is the rage. It’s being
touted as the future for
all things sensory, from
games to film and television, from storytelling to
visual art.
My response as a television critic — and as
a dyed-in-the-wool TV
viewer — is to ask what
this all means to me.
I am not typically an
early adopter. My beat
as a journalist isn’t newfangled gadgetry. I’m a
TV-centric content guy,
scrambling to keep up
with the torrent of programs that, however
more plentiful and varied
their providers, still contain themselves in two dimensions.
Even so, VR seems a
force to be reckoned with.
So I grabbed a Samsung
Gear VR headset for a
maiden voyage.
Virtual reality is the
link to an alternate reality, and instantly I’m all in!
For example, I find that a
wooded, birds-twittering
forest on a sunny day is a
far more agreeable environment than my stuffy
apartment. And that’s
even before Reese Witherspoon appears over a
rise and, puffing with her
backpack, rests herself on
a nearby rock.
In character from her
2014 film “Wild,” she is
bedraggled but radiant
and seems close enough
and real enough to bother for a sip of her water. Alas, all too quickly
Witherspoon
resumes
her solitary trek, vanishing through trees in the
opposite direction too absorbed in her odyssey to
have paid me any notice.
But a dinosaur does.
With “Jurassic World:
Apatosaurus,” I am in
a different kind of forest, stationed a few yards
from a colossal dozing
reptile sprawled on the
forest floor. Then, dur-
ing this two-minute interlude, it blinks awake,
clambers to its feet, spots
me and, staring me right
in the face, takes a curious
sniff.
These adventures pale
in wonder to Cirque du
Soleil’s “Kurios: Cabinet
of Curiosities,” which
sweeps me into a wondrous spectacle. Beautiful
and dazzlingly weird, the
dozen-and-a-half
performers cavort on a stage
where they accept me as
a spellbound intruder.
They put on quite a show.
Or, maybe more accurately, many shows. As
I share their 360-degree
space, where and what I
look at is up to me. I am
free to bob and swivel my
head to fix my gaze on
anyone or anything. I literally get to call the shots.
And after a half-dozen
viewings, with my attention leap-frogging from
one direction to another,
I still can’t take it all in.
If joining a famed entertainment troupe is remarkable, an even bigger
blast is gaining entry to a
painting by Vincent Van
Gogh.
Thanks to a VR reimagining of Van Gogh’s 1888
“The Night Cafe,” I can
take my place within the
brushstrokes of the Café
de la Gare and its scattering of tables and chairs,
billiard table and lone patron come to life.
But there’s more to
explore than the single
room the painting has
immortalized. Through
a doorway in the corner,
I can stray into a neverbefore-seen side room,
where a pianist plays a
melancholy tune and —
lo and behold — Vincent
himself sits listening
while meditatively smoking his pipe.
Unlike VR video captured with stationary
360-degree
cameras,
this Van Gogh tribute is
more like a video game,
letting me interact more
authentically with my
surroundings. I can step
up to a table or a person,
but no farther, as if these
objects were really in my
way. And unlike many VR
experiences, this one is
open-ended. I am free to
linger in this otherworldly, painterly realm to my
heart’s content. At this
cafe, there is no last call.
And I am in no hurry to
leave.
Why would I? Despite
the possible onset of a
headache or queasiness
(nothing comes without
a price, including this
technology in its infant
stage), VR is a habitat of
countless possibilities, an
exhilarating refuge that
yanks me from the sidelines and thrusts me into
the action.
Could VR ever become
the default mode for its
audience? I can imagine
a time when immersion
in VR might be as normal
a state of self-imposed
isolation as earbuds piping music from an iPod is
now.
But more pertinent
to me, a television guy,
is this question: As VR
evolves as technology and
art, what will be its impact
on the act of vegging out
with old-fashioned TV?
Television has long
reigned as the province
of the couch potato, viewing passively while free to
do other things: answer
email, fix a snack or just
nurse a beer. But lost in
VR’s altered state, I could
easily miss my mouth
when trying to take a sip.
VR demands full commitment.
Could be, as VR comes
of age, television will become not quite old hat,
but instead what radio
became with TV’s birth:
an atmospheric add-on,
just one part of the everyday sensory mosaic. Similarly, TV, with its grip
on public consciousness
downgraded, might be
recast as an omnipresent
supplement to real life.
Not
supplementing,
but supplanting real life:
That’s what VR aims to do.
Aubrie Sellers debuts gritty new sound
BY KRISTIN M. HALL
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
Aubrie Sellers’ debut album, “New City Blues,”
introduces her as a musician that seamlessly links
the indie rock enclave
of East Nashville to her
country roots in Texas.
It’s a sound she’s branded
“garage country,” a blend
of fuzzed-out electric guitars, high-energy rock ‘n’
roll and Sellers’ country
vocals and songwriting.
“I was born in Nashville, but my whole family is from East Texas, so
I consider myself a dual
citizen,” said the 24-yearold Sellers, who will play
South by Southwest in
Austin, Texas, on Friday.
Onstage, her strong
and steady voice, with
just the slightest twang,
goes toe-to-toe with layers of reverb and thumping drums. But offstage,
Sellers says she was shy
and didn’t start singing in
front of others until she
was well into her teens.
“There’s a lot to live up
to when three of your parents are successful in the
music business,” she said.
Her mother is Grammy-winning
country
singer-songwriter
Lee
Ann Womack. Her father,
Jason Sellers, is a country
songwriter who has cowritten singles for Jason
Aldean, Reba McEntire,
Rascal Flatts and Thompson Square. Her stepfather, Frank Liddell, is an
award-winning producer
who helped Miranda
Lambert become a star.
She wrote or co-wrote
all 14 songs on the album,
which range from the
headbanger “Paper Doll”
to the dark and moody
“Liar Liar,” which she
wrote with singer-songwriter Brandy Clark.
