More so this year then ever thanks to the Crossroads area’s abnormally harsh winter. Alcorn School District students have missed seven full days and have had one delayed start during the current 201415 school year due to weather related reasons. Most recently last week, when county students were released both Thursday and Friday due to icy road conditions. The two extra days off set up an extended Spring Break period as students will not return to session until March 16. “We’ll be able to make up a few of those missed days with backup days already built into the schedule,” said Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith. “Three missed days will be made up, so right now we will only have to schedule class on four off days.” Smith confirmed students will be in session on Good Mon- day, April 6, while other make up days will be announced soon. In the Corinth School District, class isn’t canceled as often.

Adapting to some of those changes is the motivation behind proposed revisions to Corinth’s decades-old C-3 Central Business District zoning regulations. “There are some places where the current ordinance is no longer appropriate,” said Dave Huwe, director of community development and planning. “Fillmore Street is no longer the Highway 45 route, so there are no longer gas stations in the downtown, Staff photo by Steve Beavers Trauma Program Manager Christie Bradley (right) goes over trauma protocol with Charge Nurse Sonya Butler.

The revisions will specifically prohibit the operation of gas stations.

Creating cancer survivor kits for the brave women currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments, Johnson hand-delivered the 23 bags on Thursday, Feb. 12. Each bag included a blan- ket, scarf, turban, Germ-X, Kleenex, gum, hard candy, a crossword puzzle, pens, a nail file and hand lotion. “I got people to sponsor a bag and then supplied the items inside the bags,” said Johnson. “I also included a card for each person which included a bible verse and uplifting note.

Each of them with a desire to see women come to know Jesus Christ. “Our goal in coming together was to knock down dividers,” said Katie Rippy. “We all have the same heart and want women to make a connection and see themselves as the body of Christ.” Similar events brought the four together. Oakland Baptist Church and Tate Baptist Church had scheduled women’s events for the same weekend. Instead of following through with the different events, the groups decided to partner with each other. “We want to equip women to live out their purpose,” said Alisha Kirkland with Tate Baptist Church. “The whole movement is about the body of believers comPlease see MINISTRY | 3A Staff photo by Steve Beavers A quartet of women from different churches have come together to see women in the area come to know Jesus Christ.

Expressing excitement for Corinth Theatre-Arts upcoming Production of “Alice in Wonderland,” Guest Director Bryan Essary proudly announced the cast for his show on Wednesday. “This has undoubtedly been the hardest casting I have ever done. 56 fabulous actors auditioned for 44 spots, which is actually more than the script called for. I had already added to cast,” he said. “We now have 60 characters. Yes, there will be some doubling … having said that, everyone got a spot.” Based on the beloved 1865 novel by Lewis Carroll and adapted by Anne Martens, “Alice in Wonderland” will hit the stage in late April. The play will not be a youth stage production as originally announced by CT-A on its website. “We decided to leave the kiddos out of this one, but stay tuned,” said Essary. “The ‘Lion, Witch and Wardrobe’ auditions are May 4 and 5.” Cast list Cheshire Cat – Dan Marsh White Rabbit – Melinda Nall Alice – Claire Smith Caterpillar – Leland Hendrix • Legs – Olivia Lee • Legs – Olivia Knight • Legs – Maisy Jane • Legs – Taylor Poindexter • Legs – Kynleigh Huff • Legs – Monica Serina Carreon • Tail – Jake Pearson Cook – Angelica Hernandez Frog Footman – Kevin Stockton Heart Card Soldier 1 – Billy Towery-Baswell Duchess – Della Miller Humpty Dumpty – David Copenhaver Pink Flower – Meridith Nall White Flower – Piper Bradshaw Yellow Flower – Alysabeth Nunley Rose Flower – Leah Petty Violet Flower – Lainie Jarman Blue Flower – Zaquariya Patterson Orange Flower – Ashlyn Strickland Purple Flower – Chloe Wilbanks Red Flower – Reece Morrical Seven of Spades Gardner – Dustin Binger Heart Card Soldier 2 – Tom Soltz Heart Card Soldier 3 – Aaron Dean Heart Card Soldier 4 – Daniel Brown Mad Hatter – Philip Henson Hare – Brandon Strickland Dormouse – Will Senf Queen of Hearts – June Plaxico King of Hearts – Randy Duke First Lady – Valerie Knight Diamond lady – Megan Joyce Diamond Lady – Jan Soltz Diamond Lady – Glynis Bradshaw Diamond Lady – Channing Palmer Knave – Christopher Walters Courtier – Christopher Walters Ten of Clubs Executioner – Jacob Dooley Tweedledum – Tresa Condra Tweedledee – Melissa Lambert Five of Spades Gardner – Cat Simmons Two of spades Gardner – Marleah Morris Nine of Spades Gardner – Casey Zappa First Heart Child – Taylor Poindexter Second Heart Child – Monica Serina Carreon Third Heart Child – Maisy Jane Fourth Heart Child – Jake Pearson Turtle – Jennifer Strachan Gryphon – Will Pearce “Did you remember to turn your clocks forward one hour?” Selmer Member FDIC Finger Savannah Corinth w w w. h o m e b a n k i n g c o . c o m Michie EQUAL HOUSING LENDER Sunday, March 8, 2015 Today in History Today is Sunday, March 8, the 67th day of 2015. There are 298 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 8, 1965, the United States landed its first combat troops in South Vietnam as 3,500 Marines arrived to defend the U.S. air base at Da Nang. On this date: In 1862, during the Civil War, the ironclad CSS Virginia rammed and sank the USS Cumberland and heavily damaged the USS Congress, both frigates, off Newport News, Virginia. In 1917, Russia’s “February Revolution” (referring to the Old Style calendar) began in Petrograd; the result was the abdication of the Russian monarchy in favor of a provisional government. The U.S. Senate voted to limit filibusters by adopting the cloture rule. In 1944, two days after an initial strike, U.S. heavy bombers resumed raiding Berlin during World War II. In 1971, Joe Frazier defeated Muhammad Ali by decision in what was billed as “The Fight of the Century” at Madison Square Garden in New York. Silent film comedian Harold Lloyd died in Beverly Hills, California, at age 77. In 1975, the first International Women’s Day was celebrated. In 1979, technology firm Philips demonstrated a prototype compact disc player during a press conference in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. In 1983, in a speech to the National Association of Evangelicals convention in Orlando, Florida, President Ronald Reagan referred to the Soviet Union as an “evil empire.” In 1999, baseball Hall-of-Famer Joe DiMaggio died in Hollywood, Florida, at age 84. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush said authoritarian rule in the Middle East had begun to ease, and he insisted anew that Syria had to end its nearly three-decade occupation of Lebanon. One year ago: Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, a Boeing 777 with 239 people on board, vanished during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, setting off a massive search for its whereabouts. (To date, the fate of the jetliner and its occupants has yet to be determined.) Local/State Officials want $290,000 seized during drug bust DISTRICT CONTINUED FROM 1A brownfield assessment grant that may help set the stage for redevelopment of some of the former gas station sites within the district. The revised ordinance would also specifically prohibit coinoperated laundromats and would exclude previously allowed enterprises including car washes, auto sales and repair, hospitals and motels. The ordinance would newly allow auto detailing shops with adequate on-site parking, clothing alteration shops, medical clinics, dental clinics and dance studios. As currently written, the ordinance allows both hotels and motels, but the parking associated with motels is no longer desirable for the area, said Daily Corinthian • 3A Huwe, and motels would be excluded. Second-story residential occupancy would be allowed with approval of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Off-street parking would be required during business hours to accommodate customer parking. The ordinance would also exclude outside sales on the front and side yards and associated sidewalks and drives. Shortterm sales events sanctioned by Main Street Corinth would be an exception. The district would continue to allow antiques shops, appliance sales, art studios, bakeries, banks, dry cleaning and dyeing establishments, florists, office buildings, restaurants, banquet facilities, printing and publishing establishments, and indoor theaters. Associated Press JACKSON — The state Bureau of Narcotics is seeking to overturn a judge’s ruling that its seizure of cash and other items during a drug bust in 2013 was illegal because the search warrant failed to include a description of the place to be searched. At the center of the case is $293,270 seized from a north Mississippi apartment. The Narcotics Bureau wants to keep it. A Quitman County judge has ordered the agency to give the money back to Bobby Ray Canada and Beverly Turman. The Mississippi Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments in the case for April 20 in Jackson. Law enforcement officers served the warrant on the Crenshaw apartment where Canada and Turman lived on Aug. 16, 2013. The warrant said the purpose of the search was to establish that the two were drug dealers. In addition to the cash, officials seized a gun. The attorney for the couple, Ja’Nekia W. Barton of Clarksdale, argues law enforcement officers entered the apartment with an invalid search warrant and everything they seized must be returned. Narcotics Bureau attorney Pelicia E. Hall agreed the search warrant was faulty but was not illegal. BRADLEY CONTINUED FROM 1A ma Program Manager and Stroke Coordinator. “My co-workers are like family.” In her job, Bradley does a lot of data collection for the state trauma program. She became a Registered Nurse in 1989 and over the past 25 years she has worked in Women’s Health, Outpatient Surgery, Quality/ Performance Improvement and Case Management. “I have always wanted to be in the medical field,” said the mother of two. “I basically grew up here and enjoy knowing patients are getting the care they need.” Bradley, employed at MRHC for 28 years, is heartfelt about the State of Mississippi Trauma Program. “She has a passion for what she does,” said co-worker Anna Palmer. “Christie is determined to see patients get the best care they can get.” The award winner also gets to work with numerous other hos- Packed in colorful Thirty-One bags, 23 cancer survivor kits were delivered to chemo patients at Corinth’s West Clinic on Thursday, Feb. 12. BAGS CONTINUED FROM 1A days. So, I really wanted to encourage them and make their day a little bit better.” According to Johnson, others across the state had made similar donations, inspiring her to follow suit. “People volunteer all the time at the West Clinic and want to help, Staff photo by Steve Beavers but don’t know how,” she said. “Everybody knows someone effected by cancer whether it be a past or present personal battle, a loved one lost to the disease or a friend, neighbor or church member still fighting. I felt it was a great way to give back because we can all relate in some way to the journey they go through.” Magnolia Regional Health Center Trauma Program Manager Christie Bradley was named the hospital’s employee of the year. pital employees in her job. “The trauma program is the hub of the hospital and allows me to work with all the departments in the facility,” said Bradley. Bradley, who is the mother of Marlee – a freshman at Ole Miss – and Stone – a seventh grader at Kossuth Middle School, enjoys taking part in the community and school events. The time allows her to provide injury prevention education to the different groups. She is also a mentor to new nurses and students considering the medical profession. “I am so humbled to have been chosen by my co-workers and peers,” she Bradley, a member of Tuscumbia Baptist Church. “I feel privileged to work for an organization which cares so much about its employees.” Other nominees for the honor and the department they work include: Carey Houston, Maintenance; Lee Ann Kay, LDRP; Angela Avent, Materials; Amanda Meeks, MICU; Cory Grace, Cancer Center; Brittanni Lynch, Employee Pharmacy; Denise Davis, Cath Lab; Debbie Chatham, Speciality Clinic; Debra Simning, 5 Tower; Jamie Henson, SICU and Lisa Latch, IT. MINISTRY CONTINUED FROM 1A ing together,” added Jodie Marsh with Calvary Baptist Church, who along with Tate’s Ginger Jones make up the quartet. “Each of us is made different,” said Jones. “But God is putting us together because we all have the same heart for women’s ministry.” Their cause led to the “Colored in Prayer Pray Day” and “IF: Corinth Ladies” events. “We want women to understand who they are in Christ,” said Rippy, who is the director of the Girls Prayer Group (GPG) at Oakland. “We want them to rock who Christ made them to be.” GPG is hosting “Colored in Prayer” on March 20-21. Cost to attend the two days is $15 and includes a T-shirt and pasta dinner. Deadline to register and receive a T-shirt is March 15. The final registration date in March 18. “Friday we will eat, worship, laugh and study God’s word,” said Rippy. Kristin Wilson, director of Generation M Ministry, and Lesa Floyd Schwartz, director of Women’s Ministry at Mobberly Baptist Church in Longview, Texas, are slated to speak during the 6-9 p.m. Friday night event. Oakland’s Youth Girls Band will lead the singing. Childcare will be provided for ages six and under. Those who are in need of childcare are asked to register with the office at Oakland. Saturday will be a time of praise and prayer, according to Rippy. The Saturday session is 10 a.m. through 12 p.m. “There will be prayer walk on the grounds of Oakland followed by an optional 100-meter color run at the end,” said Rippy. “Physical fitness is not required … if someone needs assistance, we will make a way because we want women there.” “IF: Corinth Ladies” is scheduled for April 10-11 at Tate Baptist. Friday’s session is slated for 6-9 p.m. while Saturday’s time is 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Deadline to register is April 5. Lunch will be provided on Saturday. Women can register and inquire about childcare via email at ifcorinthladies@gmail. com. “IF: Gathering is an online devotional for women started by author Jennie Allen of Austin, Texas,” said Jones. Allen started the online study to create opportunities for conversation, serve as reminders for what God has done, and further equip and unleash ministries in places around the world. “IF exists to inspire women to ask themselves about their beliefs in God,” added Kirkland. “Women should live like God is real and recognize where we are struggling with unbelief and how Jesus can help us overcome.” Four video sessions led by Allen and other nationally known Bible teachers such as Angie Smith, Rebekah Lyons and Christine Caine are planned for the two days. Rippy will be in charge of worship. “This goes beyond Baptists or any other denomination,” said Kirkland. The two events are just the start, according to the four women. “These events are the result of women in the area praying for years for God to do a work among us,” said Rippy. “Only God knows what it is, but we don’t want to limit ourselves … we want it to go beyond these events and ourselves.” Southern Carports Stop the Harassment & Keep your Property Timing is Everything QUICK - EASY - LOW COST Affordable flexible payment plans ZERO down payment gets you a fresh start with • Garages • Carports • Utility Buildings • Barns Concrete & Insulation Available FREE DELIVERY & SET UP Locally owned and operated! 101 West College Street, Booneville, MS P.O.

Our View School trustee remains a very important job The community was left with more questions than answers after the recent meeting by the Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen on an appointment to the Corinth School District Board of Trustees. No agreement was reached, so let’s begin some dialog as to who our aldermen have in mind for the position and why each trustee candidate is being nominated. And why the current trustee is not being recommended by some board members. Here is what transpired at the recent meeting. The seat currently held by Ann Walker, board president, is up for appointment. Three nominations came to the table — Walker, Lafayette Jourdan III and Rachele Taylor — but no second to the motion was made for any of the three. The attempt to make an appointment came with an unusual procedural twist. Three board members who have family members working in the school district recused themselves — Mayor Tommy Irwin and Aldermen Chip Wood and Ben Albarracin. This left Alderman Michael McFall to preside as mayor pro tem. Each of the remaining aldermen who could have voted nominated a different person. Alderman at Large Mike Hopkins nominated Walker, who has served several terms and is interested in being reappointed, he said. Ward 4 Alderman J.C. Hill nominated Lafayette Jourdan III, a retired businessman. Ward 1 Alderman Andrew “Bubba” Labas nominated Rachele Taylor, an engineer. After that stalemate, City Attorney Wendell Trapp said his research on this rare voting situation found that the board members who recused themselves could then participate in the vote. Those members returned to the board room and decided that they were not prepared to take action, with Irwin expressing a desire to interview the candidates. Trapp said the board is not bound by the prior nominations when the issue is considered again. We fully agree with our mayor. Interviewing the candidates is a great idea. But let’s take it a step further. Not only should nominees be interviewed in a public setting, but have them bring their resumes. After every potential candidate has been interviewed, each alderman needs to address why they nominated the person. What is their interest in the Corinth School District? Why do they want to serve? What qualities do they have to make them a good school board member? And we would like to hear from Ann Walker, who serves as board president and has been a trustee for many years. Being a school trustee is a thankless job, but it’s an important position. Our youth are our future. We would like to know more about the people our city leaders want to be in charge of the future direction of the Corinth School District.

A verse to share “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” — Malachi 3:10 Return of the Clinton scandals The grim forced march to a Hillary Clinton coronation just got a little grimmer. The Hillary email scandal – on top of the revelation of continuing foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation while she was secretary of state — is a nice reminder for Democrats about what they are signing up for. The Clinton Restoration will require routinely defending the indefensible. It will require recalibrating all legal and ethical standards to suit the personal and financial interests of the Clintons. The Clintons come from the Frank Underwood school of politics. What unites Bill’s roguish charm and Hillary’s relentless determination is an eye for the main chance, with adherence to the rules optional. Hillary Clinton’s self-serving email arrangement is not the worst example, but it is textbook. Pretty much anyone in government knew that if you used your private account for official business, you had to copy your government account for record-keeping purposes. But Hillary didn’t even have a government account. For this to have been an innocent oversight, we’d have to believe that Hillary – intimately familiar with the workings of government Rich since at least Lowry 1979, when Bill became National Review governor of Arkansas, and with the federal government since at least 1993 — didn’t know how government email worked. And that she happened to set up her own private email account with a server in her own house, registered under a pseudonym, in a fit of technological absent-mindedness. As The Associated Press notes, homemade servers are inferior to professional facilities that “provide monitoring for viruses or hacking attempts, regulated temperatures, off-site backups, generators in case of power outages, fire-suppression systems and redundant communications lines.” All of these were mere details compared with the one overwhelming advantage of her own server that clearly trumped every other consideration: “impressive control over limiting access to her message archives,” in the words of the AP. Impressive, indeed. The New York Times relates all the information requests that have been stymied. Congressional investigators seeking documents related to Benghazi in 2012 didn’t get emails from her account until last month. A reporter from Gawker couldn’t get correspondence between Clinton and former White House aide Sidney Blumenthal. Requests from The Associated Press have been stymied. Same with those of the conservative groups Citizens United and America Rising. The surest way in Washington to have a Freedom of Information Act request go unanswered was to make one of the self-described most transparent person in American public life. Recently, Clinton turned over to the State Department 55,000 pages of emails, and now she says she wants them released. But it is her flunkies who decided what to give the department. This is transparency Clinton-style. The defense from Clinton world has been that everyone conducts official business on private email, so what’s the big deal? But her predecessor, Condoleezza Rice, and her successor, John Kerry, both managed to use government accounts. Colin Powell used a personal account – which was wrong, too, although it was prior to National Archives regulations in 2009 clarifying rules for preservation of private emails when used for official business. Hillary Clinton clearly trampled all over those rules. The legal debate is now whether she merely violated the spirit of the law or actually broke it, the perpetual question with the Clintons. If Democrats have liked what they’ve seen from Hillary the past couple of weeks, they should relish the prospect of the next two years, when any revelation can instantly put them back in Clinton scandal-defense mode. This is the future they are choosing, apparently without even bothering to consider an alternative with less baggage or higher standards. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: [email protected].) Live like Venus, keep your eye on Mars “Americans are from Mars and Europeans are from Venus,” wrote Robert Kagan in “Of Paradise and Power,” published in 2003, just as the United States went into Iraq. Americans, he wrote, see themselves in “an anarchic Hobbesian world,” where security and a liberal order depend on military might, while Europe is “moving beyond power into a self-contained world of laws and rules and transnational negotiation and co-operation.” A dozen years later, Europeans and not a few Americans have been asking how well Mars has been working out for America. But Americans and an increasing number of Europeans should also be asking — when they think enough about it to ask — how Venus is working out for Europe. Not so well, is the obvious answer. If America’s economic growth has been sluggishness, with high unemployment and withdrawal from the work force, most of Europe hasn’t been growing at all, with unemployment, especially among the young, remaining perpetually high in much of the continent. Europe’s recoil against Mars and embrace of Venus is understandable. In the early summer of 1914 Europe seemed on top of the world, economically advanced, increasingly politically democratic, culturally Reece Terry Mark Boehler publisher [email protected] editor [email protected] Willie Walker Roger Delgado circulation manager [email protected] press foreman confident. Then Europe plunged into what turned out to be 31 years of horrifying war, Michael political turBarone bulence and economic Columnist depression. Europeans lost confidence in their civilization and have never fully regained it. In the quarter-century after 1945, Western Europe recovered economically, growing faster than the United States, and drew closer to achieving American standards of living. Then, around 1970, Western Europe used its regained prosperity to finance leisure — fewer working hours, longer vacations, early retirements — while Americans started working longer hours and producing more. With the fall of Communism in 1989-91 Europe’s problems seemed solved. NATO and the EU could be, and were with considerable success, expanded east to include Soviet satellites and the three Baltic republics. There seemed no need to fight violent wars or risk nuclear annihilation anymore. No need to work very hard: The welfare state will provide. No need to have many children: Most nations’ birth rates fell below replacement, leaving fewer workers to pay for those welfare benefits in the thendistant future. Problems would be solved by mandarins, operating with minimal democratic feedback out of EU offices in Brussels. Their favorite solution for powering Europe’s economies was a single currency, the euro. Most of Europe joined; Britain, thanks to Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown, stayed out. This Venusian Europe supposed that violence and genocide in the former Yugoslavia could be quelled by conferences and resolutions. It turned out to take air power and ground troops, eventually provided by the United States. After the Sept. 11 attacks, much of Europe joined the United States in Afghanistan and Iraq. But most European nations’ military contributions were minimal, and Europe soon tired of these seemingly unwinnable wars. Mars seemed in decline, Venus in the ascendant. The 2008 financial crisis and the increasing aggression of Vladimir Putin’s Russia have been disastrous for the Venus dream. The euro proved to be a misbegotten project: a single currency for stubbornly diverse nations with different economic needs has produced not prosperity and unity, but stagnation and division. The resulting crisis has dragged even Germany, with its strong work ethic and re- World Wide Web: www.dailycorinthian.com To Sound Off: E-mail: email: [email protected] Circulation 287-6111 Classified Adv. 287-6147 formed labor laws, down to zero growth, while youth unemployment is around 50 percent in Southern Europe and bank deposits are rapidly oozing out of Greece. And the dream of expanding NATO and the EU ever eastward has run up against someone with quite another vision. Russian troops gobbled up part of Georgia in 2008. Only thinly disguised, they have been ravaging Ukraine since February 2014. Russia annexed Crimea last March. Europe’s response has been Venusian, as has been the Obama administration’s, despite the American and British guarantee of Ukraine’s borders in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. Military intervention is ruled out; military aid has been limited to things like Meals Ready to Eat and winter blankets. There’s a danger that Putin will move surreptitiously into the Baltic states — NATO members whom the alliance is pledged to defend. It’s hard to live like Venus when Mars is marching into your neighborhood.

Sunday, March 8, 2015 State/Nation Across the Nation Associated Press Director announces CIA reorganization WASHINGTON — Director John Brennan has ordered a sweeping reorganization of the CIA, an overhaul designed to make its leaders more accountable and close espionage gaps amid widespread concerns about the spy agency’s limited insights into a series of major global developments. Brennan announced the restructuring to the CIA workforce on Friday, including a new directorate devoted to boosting the CIA’s computer hacking skills. He said the move comes after nine agency officers spent three months analyzing its management structure, including what deputy CIA director David Cohen called “pain points,” organizational areas where the CIA’s bureaucracy does not work efficiently. Briefing reporters with Cohen at CIA headquarters this week, Brennan said the changes are necessary to address intelligence gaps that the CIA is not covering. He lamented that there is often no single person he can hold accountable for the spying mission in any given part of the world. “There are a lot of areas that I would like to have better insight to, better information about, better access to,” Brennan said. “Safe havens, denied areas. Whether because we don’t even have a diplomatic presence in a country, or because there are parts of countries that have been overrun and taken over by terrorist groups and others.” Charges expected against Menendez WASHINGTON — Sen. Bob Menendez, under federal investigation for his relationship with a Florida doctor and political donor, is expected to face criminal charges in the coming weeks, a person familiar with the matter said Friday. The disclosure came as Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, said he will give a statement to reporters in his home state after his office issued a statement saying all of his actions have been appropriate and lawful. The person discussed the expected filing of charges on condition of anonymity because the investigation is pending. The Justice Department’s decision to move forward with a criminal case was first reported by CNN. Attorney General Eric Holder, in South Carolina with President Barack Obama on Friday, declined to say whether he has authorized criminal charges against the senator. Menendez, who served for more than a decade in the House of Representatives before his election to the Senate in 2006, is the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He has been critical of the Obama administration’s negotiations with Iran on its nuclear program and outspoken in opposition to normalizing relations with Cuba. He has been dogged for more than two years by questions about his ties to Dr. Salomon Melgen, a Florida ophthalmologist as well as a friend and political donor whose medical office was raided by Florida authorities two years ago. 7 injured when roof collapses at party SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Seven people were hospitalized after a garage roof collapsed during an early St. Patrick’s Day party at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. The Tribune of San Luis Obispo reports that one person’s thigh was impaled by a piece of debris early Saturday. Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center spokesman Ron Yukelson says six others were treated for cuts and bruises. None of the injuries are life-threatening. San Luis Obispo police Capt. Chris Staley says three people have been arrested for misdemeanors. The San Luis Obispo Fire Department tweeted that the scene is under control. The university says it is working with police, and it has opened its own investigation that could result in disciplinary measures. Man gets $95,000 for impounded car NEW YORK — A jury has awarded a New York City man named James Ferrari $95,000 three years after police on Long Island seized and auctioned off his Ferrari sports car following a drunken driving arrest. The New York Post reports Saturday the Manhattan real estate broker was pulled over in his 2003 Ferrari Modena in Suffolk County in 2009. A county court justice ruled officers were right to seize the $110,000 vehicle and a 2012 forfeiture proceeding resulted in Ferrari surrendering the title of his Ferrari. County officials then auctioned off the car. The ex-owner then sued in federal court. Three years later a judge ruled county officials went too far and a jury awarded the payout. Industries battered by heavy snowfall BOSTON — Every work day lost during New England’s historic winter has meant millions of dollars out of the regional economy. Analysts say Massachusetts alone suffered roughly $1 billion in lost wages and profits. Retailers and restaurants were among the hardest hit, but hotels, transportation companies and other travel and tourism businesses struggled too. Manufacturers report they’re just starting to catch up on back orders. Economists expect the ripple effects of New England’s storms will be felt nationally, but it’s not clear to what degree. It certainly won’t be as bad as last year’s “polar vortex” that swept the nation. The bright side: Many industries will eventually recoup most lost productivity. Health care, financial and information technology workers have muddled through by telecommuting or working longer hours. Maine may be 1st to tax nonprofits AUGUSTA, Maine — Nonprofit organizations across the country are closely watching Maine as it considers becoming the first state to impose property taxes on hospitals, private colleges and summer camps. Republican Gov. Paul LePage’s proposal has sparked a fiery debate in Maine over what impact nonprofits have on their communities and whether they should have to shoulder the costs for municipal services they consume. It’s also raising questions about whether other states will follow suit if LePage’s effort is successful. LePage says that nonprofits need to chip in for services like police, firefighters and snow removal. Daily Corinthian • 5A Across the State Associated Press Supplier of execution drug must be named JACKSON — A judge has rejected the Mississippi Department of Corrections’ attempt to keep secret the pharmacy that supplies a crucial execution drug. In a Friday ruling, Hinds County Chancery Judge Denise Owens wrote that arguments by prison system lawyers to justify withholding information are “baseless.” Attorney General Jim Hood’s office argued in a Monday hearing that Owens should declare the information secret and said that those suing to have it released were trying to halt executions in Mississippi. “Executions are controversial,” Owens wrote. “And so are policies and procedures and drugs used during executions. But the court cannot allow fear to control the flow of information from a public agency simply because of the controversial nature of the information.” Finding that the department broke the state’s public-records law, Owens instructed officials to release the information and ordered the state to pay attorney fees of the Roderick and Solange MacArthur Justice Center. That group originally sought the records and then filed suit when the Corrections Department released 10 pages with partially redacted information. Owens also wrote that the department violated the law by not giving legal explanations as to why it redacted information. “Today Chancellor Owens issued a speedy and thorough opinion which vindicates the principle that these are the people’s records which cannot be kept secret,” Jim Craig, the MacArthur center’s co-director, said in a statement. Jan Schaefer, a spokeswoman for Hood, wrote in an email Friday that his office would appeal and would ask Owens to halt the release of records during the appeal. Craig has said he would oppose such a stay; he said Hood is stalling to buy time to change state law. At issue is the identity of the pharmacy providing pentobarbital, a barbiturate used to render prisoners unconscious before they are injected with a paralytic agent and a heart-stopping drug. In 2012, the state bought pentobarbital from a compounding pharmacy in Grenada, called Brister Brothers, which mixed the drug. After Craig’s group discovered the name following an earlier records request, state lawyers said the pharmacy refused to make further sales and that the drugmaker cut off its supply to Brister Brothers. State lawyers said it was important to preserve the ability to buy the drug. Nationwide, concerns have been raised about botched executions because of novel drug combinations, as older sets of drugs become unavailable. Ohio, Oklahoma and Arizona have all experienced problem-filled executions. Anthony bribery plea now set for Tuesday GULFPORT — A Pass Christian contractor’s guilty plea on bribery charges is now set for Tuesday. Sean H. Anthony last week agreed to be charged without an indictment on one felony count of conspiracy to commit bribery and pleaded not guilty before Magistrate Judge Robert Walker. U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden had been scheduled to take Anthony’s guilty plea the same day, but recused himself. U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett is now scheduled to preside Tuesday. Anthony faces up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines. The charge says Anthony bribed two leaders of the Harrison County Utility Authority. A former Harrison County supervisor pleaded guilty to taking bribes from Anthony while the authority’s former executive director has pleaded not guilty to charges he took bribes from Anthony. Hearing set in school desegregation case GREENVILLE — A federal judge has set a five-day hearing as she considers a new order in a 50-year-old desegregation case involving the Cleveland schools. U.S. District Judge Debra Brown scheduled the hearing to begin May 18. The federal government and the local district would put on witnesses and bring evidence to support their contrasting desegregation plans. Brown warned lawyers for both sides not to seek further delays. “In light of the age and nature of this matter, the deadlines set in this order (and in previous orders) will not be changed absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances justifying such relief,” Brown wrote Tuesday as she set the hearing and procedural deadlines. She said that she would revisit the chance that both sides could mediate their differences either after the evidence discovery process is completed or after the hearing. The Cleveland school district wants to leave federal oversight that has been in place since 1969, after plaintiffs sued in 1965 to end white-only and black-only schools. The Justice Department wants Brown to order the Cleveland schools restructured so that all students in grades 6-12 would attend one middle school and one high school beginning in 2016-2017. Clarksdale shooting results in 2 deaths CLARKSDALE — Clarksdale police are investigating a shooting that has left two people dead. WMC-TV reports the shooting happened Saturday morning. According to the Coahoma County Coroner, the shooting happened in the 600 block of Mississippi Street. Police have not released details of the shooting or the victim’s names. They say they have no one in custody, but the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation will help in their investigation. Reward offered for info on man’s death MCCOMB — A reward for information that will help authorities solve the death of a 68-yearold man whose bulletriddled body was found in southern Pike County has risen to $3,000. Southwest Mississippi Crimestoppers Chairman Sam Sanders says his group initially put $2,000 into the fund. Donations from the community made up the rest. Donations can be made to State Bank & Trust in McComb or through Crimestoppers. The Enterprise-Journal reports Leroy McCray’s body was found Jan. 27, three days after his family reported him missing. A sheriff’s deputy on patrol found McCray’s body on the side of the road, not far from his van, which had been burned. Authorities say McCray died of multiple gunshot wounds. Officials have been unable to determine a motive. CIVIL WAR RELIC SHOW Kid’s Exchange March 14TH & 15TH CROSSROADS ARENA CONVENTION CENTER 2800 S.

Shortly after their marriage, Billy joined the US Air Force. His basic training was at Lackland AFB, San Antonio, Texas. After Billy finished basic training, she joined him at his next assigned duty station.

Some of the places they lived included South Carolina, Colorado, Oklahoma, Florida, Massachusetts and Turkey. The Lord blessed Sue and Billy with three children, a boy and two girls. They named the boy Darrell Ray, the oldest girl LucretiaLynn and the youngest girl Cheryl Ann. During Billy’s service career, Sue worked at various jobs. Her favorite jobs were the various accounting functions on the Air Bases. If she could not find an accounting job, she worked at various positions to help with the family finances. Billy retired from the Air Force on July 1, 1973. They purchased land and moved to Corinth. Billy farmed, raised cattle and went into the trucking business.

SCHEDULES CONTINUED FROM 1A County roads are often more treacherous after snow and ice storms then city roads, making travel to and from school harder. During the current 2014-15 school year, city schools have missed five days which is above average. “It has been a very unpredictable winter,” said the district’s marketing manager Taylor Coombs. “With two days built into the calendar, we generally do not have to make up extra days. In fact, we haven’t used them in the last few years.” Things will change this spring, when city schools will be forced to schedule school on three normal off days. Corinth and Alcorn County snow days will be discussed among the Magnolia state’s political leaders next week. District 2 Rep. Nick Bain (D-Alcorn) and District 1 Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo) will meet with members of the Mississippi Department of Education to discuss the different options local schools have to make-up the many days missed. “We want to try to find a way to modify or forgive the school days missed,” said Bain. “We are not sure if something can be done this late in the session, but we want to un- derstand the options. It’s more serious this year thanks to the large number of days most school districts have had to miss due to the weather.” A handful of other legislators representing northern counties will also join Bain and Carpenter at the meeting. “I think legislatively we need to change the way things are done — the way days and student time is counted,” said Bain. “There has to be a fair option and hopefully we can figure out how to help parents and the school districts.” Current Mississippi law says students have to attend school 180 days per school year. Adding minutes to days to makeup Magnolia Funeral Home Pre-plan with is pleased to announce missed time is not currently allowed. “I hope our representatives can do something about the missed days. We can’t do anything about the weather, we are responsible however for the safety of the children and the staff we serve,” added Smith. “I had rather make up the time then take a chance with people’s lives.” Despite a change on the state level, makeup snow days are expected to be announced at each district’s upcoming school board meetings. The Alcorn School District will meet Monday at 5 p.m., while Corinth School District’s March meeting is unscheduled.

Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and about 100 members of Congress were converging on the town of roughly 20,000 to commemorate “Bloody Sunday,” the day in 1965 when police attacked marchers demonstrating for voting rights. The violence preceded the Selma-to-Montgomery march, which occurred two weeks later. Both helped build momentum for congressional approval of the Voting Rights Act later that year.

It was a festive atmosphere with vendors selling souvenirs commemorating the violent confrontation. Madeline McCloud of Gainesville, Florida, traveled overnight with a group of NAACP members from central Florida to get to Selma for the day. McCloud said she’s both honoring the past and teaching young people about the importance of protecting civil rights. “I marched with Dr. King in Albany, Georgia,” she said. “For me this could be the end of the journey since I’m 72. I’m stepping back into the history we made.” McCloud traveled with Dennet Sails, who at 40 is trying to teach young blacks about what it took to gain equal rights. “I want to make sure I understand the past so I can plan the future,” said Sails, of Tampa, Florida. The congressional delegation will include U.S. Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, an Alabama native who was among the marchers seriously injured in the violence 50 years ago. 662-594-3011 (LISTINGS FOR FRI. 3/6-3/8/2015) CALL THEATRE OR GO TO MALCO.COM FOR SHOW TIMES *CHAPPIE (R) *UNFINISHED BUSINESS (R) *FOCUS (R) *THE LAZARUS EFFECT (PG-13) *MCFARLAND.

Owners of local formal wear store prepare for retirement BY KIMBERLY SHELTON [email protected] Dressing others for some of life’s most memorable moments, Bill and Teresa Tennyson owners of B&J’s Formals will close the doors on a 32-year-long labor of love when they retire by the end of the year. “The business has been a great joy for me,” said Teresa Tennyson. “God has blessed us and prospered our venture far beyond my wildest dreams.” Leaving behind a legacy of honesty, sincerity and friendliness, the prom and pageant rental boutique, located just north of Corinth at 353 Hwy 2 has expanded its operations over the years. After growing the formal wear business from just sewing and alterations for the public in a modest 840 square-foot Farmington area building in 1983, the business now sits in a spacious 15,000 square-foot shop where they sale and rent all types of formal attire. Their offerings include bridal, prom and pageant wear for all sizes, beginning at 6 month-old infants to a 32 in women’s. Tuxedos range in size from 12 monthold infants to a men’s size 66. “I have loved designing and creating dresses and working with all our wonderful customers through the years. Some of our employees have become like part of our family,” said Teresa as she reflected upon time she considers well spent. Due to the declining health of her husband Bill Tennyson over the last 12 years, the seamstress decided it was time to turn her attention away from the business. “His medical issues have become more critical recently,” she explained. “God has sustained us through all of Bill’s health problems, including several back surgeries, heart bypass surgery and many others, but I feel it is time to retire and focus on spending more time with him.” Now in the process of putting the property and business up for sale, the owners of B&J’s Formals hope whoever purchases the store will continue their vision. “I would love to find someone who would have the same love and dedication for the business as I have had to buy it and keep it as a formal wear shop,” said Teresa. “It would mean a great deal to me.” Staff photos by Kimberly Shelton Above, Alex Oliver, 13, of Adamsville, Tenn., tries on her pageant dress and accessories at B&J’s Formals.

The program, called Honoring the Veteran, provides a donation in the veteran’s name to support the work of specific charities that work on behalf of other veterans and their families. “Families of veterans are seeking meaningful, unique ways to create a lasting tribute to their loved one,” says Jim Calvary, owner. “When they take advantage of our Honoring the Veteran program, they know that they are making a valuable contribution that “It’s just another way for us to thank the men and women who have honorably served our country.” Jim Calvary Magnolia Funeral Home owner touches the lives of thousands.” The program allows families to choose from three charities: The American Red Cross, which provides disaster relief and humanitarian aid worldwide; Vietnam Veterans of America, the only national organization exclusively dedicated to supporting Vietnam-era veterans and their families; or the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, which preserves and tells the stories of the many amphibious invasions of World War II. “The best part of the Honoring the Veteran program is that the donation is made at no cost to the family. We’ve partnered with Aurora Casket Company; when our families choose an Aurora casket or urn, Aurora makes the donation on their behalf. It’s just another way for us to thank the men and women who have honorably served our country,” said Calvary. Magnolia Funeral Home has also created a service display room to showcase the merchandise and services specially tailored to provide for the families of those who have served our country and communities. They invite the public to come by and learn more. Magnolia Funeral Home, located at 2024 Hwy 72 East Annex, Corinth , has been serving families in the surrounding community for more than 22 years. For more information about Honoring the Veteran contact the funeral home at 662286-9500 or visit them on the web at magnoliafuneralhome.net.

Productivity falling faster, labor costs up MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON — U.S. worker productivity was even weaker than first thought from October through December while labor costs rose at a faster rate. Productivity declined at an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the fourth quarter, weaker than the 1.8 percent drop that was estimated a month ago, the Labor Department said Thursday. Labor costs rose at a 4.1 percent rate, faster than the 2.7 percent increase first estimated. Weaker productivity and higher labor costs could spell inflation troubles for the economy. But analysts say that the changes in the fourth quarter are temporary and not an indication that inflation is about to be a problem.

Danny Bedwell, District 1 Congressional Candidate, small business owner, and retired Navy diver will be presenting his plans for protecting our liberties, and restoring the Republic. All questions welcomed, regardless of political affiliation. Financial Solutions with a Smile and a Handshake FMBank Mobiliti +DUSHU5RDG6XLWH &RULQWK06 6WHYHQ'+HIQHU&)3 )RRWH6WUHHW &RULQWK06 U.S. economist at Global Economics, said that 2014 was the fourth straight year that productivity has run below its average over the past decade of 1.5 percent. Handler said the recent strong employment growth represents a challenge for companies to make sure they are utilizing their new hires in the most effective manner. But he predicted that the new workers will gain the skills they need to be more productive and this will help push productivity up to a range of 1.5 percent to 2 percent starting in 2016. Job growth picked up significantly last year and unemployment stood at 5.7 percent in January, an improvement from the high of 10 percent unemployment hit in late 2009. Even with the labor market improving, economists expect it will be some time before labor costs accelerate to a rate that will be a problem. For all of 2014, labor costs were up a modest 1.8 percent after a slight 0.2 percent gain in 2013. Productivity for all of 2014 was up just 0.7 percent, similar to the 0.9 percent gain in 2013. Local Banking, Wherever You Are. (ULF05XWOHGJH&)3 $$06 &KULV0DUVKDOO Analysts had expected the revision for productivity would be weaker than the first estimate, reflecting the fact that the government last week revised its estimate for economic growth, as measured by the gross domestic product. The GDP, the nation’s total output of goods and services, was revised down to growth of just 2.2 percent in the fourth quarter, slower than the initial estimate of 2.6 percent. Productivity is the amount of output per hour of work and with less output in the fourth quarter, productivity was revised lower as well. The Federal Reserve closely watches developments in productivity and labor costs for any signs that wage pressures are rising to unwanted levels. But at the moment, the Fed is more worried that wages are not rising fast enough rather than rising too quickly. For all of 2014, labor costs were up a modest 1.8 percent after a slight 0.2 percent gain in 2013. Productivity for all of 2014 was up just 0.7 percent, similar to the 0.9 percent gain in 2013.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Don’t miss Crossroads Magazine 2015 Spring Edition, coming Saturday, March 28. Casual friendship may grow in wake of husband’s illness DEAR ABBY: I recently learned that the husband of a friend of mine has cancer. She shared the information with me during our last meeting. I was shocked and hardly knew how to respond. She is not a close friend, but we are fond of each other and enjoy getting together for a drink every now and then. Abigail I want to let Van Buren her know that I’m thinking Dear Abby of her and that I’m available if she needs anything, but I’m afraid of saying something cliched or insensitive. What is the most tactful way to do this? -- CHALLENGED IN OKLAHOMA DEAR CHALLENGED: Contact your friend. Tell her you were shocked by the news she gave you, which may have been a cry for help. Make a point of staying in touch by calling to ask how she and her husband are doing. Tell her you know she may be overwhelmed, and volunteer to bring food if she’s too busy or stressed to cook, run errands for her or even do the laundry if her hands are full with caregiv- ing. I can almost guarantee that if you do, you and this lady will be close friends in the future regardless of the outcome of her husband’s illness. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 48-yearold woman. Occasionally, I suffer from night sweats and have had a couple of hot flashes. My husband enjoys turning on the mattress heater in our bed. He has turned my side on by mistake a few times, which caused me to roast and have an uncomfortable night. Even when he heats only his side it’s too hot for me. I wake up sweating and see him lying naked, with all his covers flipped onto me! I have suggested he cuddle with me if he’s cold. But he insists on using the electric heater. I don’t see any reason to waste the electricity, especially when it makes me uncomfortable. I am thinking about separate beds. Please help. -- OVERHEATED IN IDAHO DEAR OVERHEATED: Separate beds might be a good idea. That’s a practical solution for some couples. But before making the investment, have a talk with your doctor about your hot flashes (if you haven’t already), because they may be caused by hormonal changes in your body, and he or she may be able to recommend a medication that can help with them. DEAR ABBY: What do you think of people who show up at graveside services for “family only”? Recently, a friend passed away. She didn’t want a funeral. The family announced there would be a service at the grave for family only, followed by a small reception for family and friends. Well, some of the “friends” showed up at the service anyway. One of them stated, “But she was like a sister to me!” I felt it was an intrusion. The family was gracious enough that they didn’t let these people know their presence wasn’t welcomed. What do you think, Abby? -- FAMILY FRIEND FROM MAINE DEAR FAMILY FRIEND: Oh, my. Of course it was an intrusion. The person who was conducting the service should have spoken up and “reminded” the attendees that the interment was for family only so the family wouldn’t be placed in an awkward position. 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). Sometimes it’s fun, but more often, making yourself remarkable takes arduous effort. Because you’re willing to go through the difficulty of mastering your talent, you’ll take the praise and awards in stride, too. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have limits just like everyone else, but your limitations are not where you think they are. In fact, the boundaries are so movable, you shouldn’t even think about them. Instead, follow your curious mind. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You want truth. You want it more than money or even love. It’s not an everyday quest. There are times when too much truth can be a burden. But it’s perfect for now, and you’ll get what you seek. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is no reason to feel lost in the big world or afloat in the vast universe. Because the only thing you can experience right now is you, assume you’re at the center of it all, and turn it into a place that reflects you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll find the outside world to be neither inherently helpful nor hurtful, and neither is it beautiful or ugly. Rather, it’s a neutral place awaiting your take on it. Once you decide what you want to see, you’ll see it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re a kind of one-man band now, using technology to do many things at the same time. Does it have to be this way? It’s certainly less complicated than it would be otherwise. At least you don’t have to report to anyone else. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re curious about what you can become through thinking and action. Answer: anything you want to be, but not everything you want to be. You’ll focus on one thing and deliver. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will air grievances and let them go. That doesn’t mean you’ll go back to the way things were before the problem came up. Relationships will heal, but the healing will change them, too. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The natural world is a living mystery, full of clues. You’ll read the signs in nature and feel a great sense of connection when you figure out where those signs are pointing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you had a personal sound effect today, it would be the sound of tumultuous applause, because so much of what you do will be met with enthusiastic approval. Your status is on the rise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There is not another church or creed on Earth that could inform you as well as your own intuition. It may be telling you to “do nothing at all,” and if so, that is as valid an instruction as any. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The ocean tide may be mighty, but it’s a kind of drone really, obeying the gravitational pull of the moon. You and the moon have something in common now. You’re both more powerful than you realize. 10A • Daily Corinthian State Tournament Quarterfinal games: Boys at Jackson State University, Girls at Mississippi Coliseum.

A blue-clad sellout crowd cheered loudly as the final seconds wound down on the eight-time NCAA champions’ milestone achievement. Play- ers soon donned blue T-shirts with “31-0” in white and the phrase “not done yet.” Towns, who missed last month’s matchup in Gainesville with strep throat, was essential in getting the Wildcats going toward history with 10 first-half points. He also grabbed six rebounds that were critical in helping Kentucky (31-0, 18-0 Southeastern Conference) slowly pull away. Kasey Hill scored 15 points and Dorian FinneySmith had 12 for Florida (1516, 8-10), which couldn’t keep up with the Wildcats’ depth in the final 10 minutes. The Ga- tors were outscored 46-13 in bench points alone and shot just 43 percent. Aaron Harrison added nine points while Willie CauleyStein and Andrew Harrison each had eight for Kentucky, which shot 47 percent and outrebounded the Gators 3126. Cauley-Stein had seven rebounds, while Towns had six of the Wildcats’ eight blocks.

GLASGOW, Scotland — The Bryan brothers kept the United States alive in the Davis Cup on Saturday, and buried some bad memories in the process. Bob and Mike Bryan held off a comeback by scratch pairing Jamie Murray and Dominic Inglot to win the doubles against Britain in five sets, reducing the Americans’ deficit to 2-1 in the first-round tie. The 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-7 (8), 9-7 victory ensured the chestbumping Californian twins, who are the most successful doubles partnership in the Open era with 104 ATP titles, still have never lost after going two sets up. And it made amends for tough five-set losses to Brazil and Serbia in 2013, the only other occasions they were taken the distance in Davis Cup. “We’d lost a couple of heartbreakers,” Mike Bryan said, “and we said to each other, ‘Let’s erase that pain.’” It may have only delayed the inevitable for the U.S. team, though. Britain remains the big favorite to advance to a quarterfinal Please see BRYANS | 11A Trade-happy West teams make big offseason moves BY JANIE MCCAULEY AP Baseball Writer PEORIA, Ariz. — Bud Black practically skipped off to practice despite the gray skies, eager to take the field for another day of spring training drills in the desert with his rebuilt San Diego roster. Who could blame the skipper for being a little more lively? He has the highest expectations for San Diego in years and an entirely new starting outfield, one that both Black and newcomer Matt Kemp rank right up there with the best in baseball. Clubs traded up and down the California coast in recent months. They dealt players to division rivals. Forgive yourself for mixing up just who went where in a wild winter of change — especially in California. Looking around the West, and the NL West in particular, dozens of familiar faces began playing Cactus League games this week in new uniforms. Even Chip Hale, Arizona’s first-year manager, left his job as Oakland bench coach to lead the Diamondbacks. Barry Zito, last in the majors pitching with the Giants in 2013, is trying for a comeback with his original Athletics team. The trade-happy A’s made an unprecedented — yes, even for them — nine swaps involving 27 players this actionpacked offseason. The Dodgers and Padres struck major deals within the division. Black’s organization was so busy he now might offer, “No trades, no transactions,” during his daily spring updates. “I was excited,” Black said of watching the overhaul by general manager A.J. Preller. “We’ve still got to catch two teams, the World Series champions and the Dodgers, who won 94 games.” Los Angeles sent Kemp farther south in Southern California to the Padres, who were in need of a power bat. The Dodgers picked up shortstop Jimmy Rollins from the Phillies. “It’s like the power’s shifting out West, where it was East for sooo long,” Rollins said. “And even if it wasn’t East, the perception was it was the East, doesn’t matter if it was true.” Please see TRADE | 11A Rangers ace Yu Darvish might need Tommy John surgery BY DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer SURPRISE, Ariz. — Rangers ace Yu Darvish might need season-ending Tommy John surgery after an MRI exam revealed partially torn ligaments in his troublesome right elbow. Texas general manager Jon Daniels said Saturday that Darvish could try to pitch through the injury, rest it for up to four months or undergo surgery. Daniels said the club would get a second opinion this weekend but indicated surgery may be the preferred option. “The concern with the first two options is, are you delaying the inevitable?” Daniels said. Darvish, a three-time AllStar, was shut down for the final seven weeks last season with inflammation in the same elbow. He underwent an MRI exam around Thanksgiving that came back clean, and had not experienced any trouble in workouts and bullpen sessions. He first felt tightness while warming up in the bullpen before Thursday’s game against Kansas City. He throttled back to protect the elbow while throwing 12 pitches in his only inning. Afterward, Darvish said through a translator he did not think the injury was serious. He had an MRI was late Friday. “I will be disappointed if I have to miss this season, but I want to look at all the options including getting a second opinion before I make a final decision,” Darvish said in a statement Saturday. “My heart is with my teammates and our focus remains on accomplishing our goals.” Darvish will remain at camp while a second surgeon studies the MRI exam results. If surgery is required, it would likely happen in the next couple of weeks. That could give Darvish enough time to fully recover before the start of next season. “Given the news, he’s handled it extremely well,” Daniels said. “He’s very pragmatic about it. He’s talking to the people he’s close to before making a decision.” The news is a significant blow to the Rangers, who went through a devastating series of injuries last year. The club set a record for most players on a 25-man roster in a single season, and needed 40 pitchers to get through 162 games — three of them position players. The starting rotation alone required 14 different pitchers, nobody making more than 25 starts. Darvish was limited to 22 starts between neck stiffness that caused him to miss the beginning of the season the elbow inflammation that caused him to be shut down late in the season. He was still effective, going 10-7 with a 3.20 ERA. But he seemed to lack the same kind of life on his pitches that he had his first two years, when he was in the running for rookie of the year and then logged more than 200 innings while leading the majors in strikeouts. 11A • Daily Corinthian Scoreboard 31-0 Auto racing Spring: Kobalt 400 lineup CONTINUED FROM 10A squad trying to avoid being a footnote in Kentucky’s historic quest. Florida trailed just 3027 at halftime but led several times thanks to aggressive play on both ends. The Gators scored 10 points off seven Wildcats turnovers, outscored the Wildcats 11-2 on the break and forced the action inside, leading to an 18-16 advantage in the paint. Michael Frazier II’s return from a seven-game absence because of an ankle injury meanwhile contributed to Florida’s perimeter game that was effective in offsetting Kentucky’s other strengths. His 3-pointer early in the first half provided a 1917 lead as well as an option the Wildcats had to account for. Kentucky eventually clamped down inside defensively and asserted itself on the other end for several key baskets and a lot of free throws. The Wildcats made 12 of 16 from the line to pull away and take their place in program history. Lanter, Brian Long and Sam Malone entered the game with 12 points and 12 rebounds in 49 games combined, yet still were honored as Wildcats heroes in a pregame ceremony. Long and Malone were part of the 2012 title team and last year’s runner-up squad that included Lanter, a Lexington native who transferred from junior college. Coach John Calipari even started them to the surprise of many, though not for long as Cauley-Stein, Aaron Harrison and Lyles replaced the trio of walk-ons 90 seconds in. They re-entered in the final minute. Tip-ins Florida: The Gators finished 5 of 11 from 3-point range but shot just seven free throws, making three. Kentucky: The Wildcats’ bench dominated Florida 22-5 in the first half. ... Lyles’ 10 first-half points were a career best for the first 20 minutes.

TRADE CONTINUED FROM 10A Oakland shipped off a trio of All-Stars in third baseman Josh Donaldson to the Blue Jays, outfielder Brandon Moss to Cleveland and catcher Derek Norris to San Diego. That was just the start of it for general manager Billy Beane. A’s assistant GM David Forst can chuckle now about the constant dealing of players that topped even some of Oakland’s busiest winters in the past. “We had a lot of fun, for sure,” Forst said. “We worked a lot this offseason, both on and off the field. This was as busy as we’ve been, for a reason. We felt at the end of last year that we had a team that probably wasn’t going to go in the right di- rection in 2015.” Manager Bob Melvin had to check the backs of jerseys to learn all the names of his new players at FanFest last month. “You notice it because you hear about it,” Angels slugger Albert Pujols said of the switcheroos. “Obviously, the National League and the American League West have done some huge moves. I think it’s going to be two good divisions to watch. It seems like over the last four years that’s how it’s been.” Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez will put the NL West up against any other division in baseball. The Giants have won three of the past five World Series, while Los Angeles is defending division champ. BRYANS CONTINUED FROM 10A against France because Andy Murray, the former Wimbledon and U.S. Open champion, is playing John Isner in the first of Sunday’s reverse singles. Isner lost a grueling five-setter against James Ward that lasted almost five hours on Friday, hurting him mentally and physically. “I don’t think Isner will be back-flipping out of bed to play Andy tomorrow,” said Jamie Murray, the older brother of Andy. The tie is following a similar course to last year’s, which Britain won 3-1 in San Diego after winning both of the Friday singles and losing the doubles. The U.S. has been 2-0 down on 40 occasions in Davis Cup play, and has come back to win only once — in 1934 against Australia in London. Britain has never lost from 2-0 ahead. The Bryans dropped their rackets to the ground and did their trademark chestbump after Mike served out for the match, which lasted 3 hours, 39 minutes at Emirates Arena. “It’s the biggest luxury a captain can have,” U.S. captain Jim Courier said of the twins. “It’s a virtual guaranteed point.” It was closer than expected.

Murray struggled with his serve early on and his first four service games were broken, ultimately costing Britain the first two sets. Inglot, for his part, said he was too fired up after the national anthems and missed some easy volleys. Perhaps taking inspiration from Ward’s revival the previous evening, Murray and Inglot stepped up their intensity, and Murray’s serving improved markedly. Mike Bryan was broken in the fourth game of the third set as the Britons made the set score 2-1, then they clinched a tense tiebreaker on a Murray backhand volley in the fourth. The home crowd got louder. An animated Andy Murray was unable to stay sitting on the sideline. “It was pretty obvious to me that we are a tighter team than the Americans,” Jamie Murray said. The fifth set went with serve until the Bryans went after Murray’s serve in the 15th game, although it was Inglot who made the errors this time — four times at the net.

Calling it a sad day, team owner Jim Irsay announced Friday that the Colts would part ways with one of the greatest receivers in franchise history. Wayne will become an unrestricted free agent next week. “Reggie is one of the greatest men to ever wear the horseshoe, and we have been blessed to watch him play for the past 14 years,” Irsay said in a statement. “When he first took the field with us in 2001, we knew this day would eventually arrive. That reality is one of the things that makes pro football such a tough busi- ness.” The decision should not have come as a major surprise to Colts’ fans. Despite having one of the most storied careers in franchise history, the 36-year-old Wayne was slowing down. He missed the last nine games in 2013 with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and was hobbled during the second half of last season with a torn left triceps. The result: His record streak of 82 consecutive games with three or more catches ended in December. In Indy’s three playoff games, Wayne had one catch for 12 yards. Until getting hurt, the New Orleans native had produced incredible numbers. He’s second in franchise history in receptions (1,070), yards receiving (14,345), touchdown catches (80) and 100-yard games (43). Peyton Manning and Wayne formed the NFL’s second-most prolific quarterback-receiver duos in completions (953) and yards (10,602), trailing only Manning and former teammate Marvin Harrison. He played in more games (211) and won more game (143) than any player in Colts’ history, had four 100-catch seasons, eight 1,000-yard seasons, six Pro Bowl selections, 12 playoff appearances and one Super Bowl ring. If Wayne doesn’t play again, he will retire at No. 7 in NFL history in receptions and No. 8 all-time in yards receiving. He is leaving Indy in the same heartbreaking manner as Manning, Harrison and Dwight Freeney -- without a retirement ceremony. The loss of Wayne will be felt. “He was that consistent leader,” said Gary Brackett, Indy’s defensive captain who was let go in the 2012 salary purge that also included Manning. “It’s very rare in sports that your leader is also a Hall-of-Famer. Reggie was always a guy you could rely on. Guys gravitated to him because he did things the right way.” He did it for all the right reasons, too. In 2012, when Irsay and general manager Ryan Grigson cleaned house to rebuild, Wayne turned down the chance to make more money and play for a “contender” so he could finish his career in Indy and help Chuck Pagano, an old friend, make the most of his first head coaching job. 12A • Sunday, March 8, 2015 • Daily Corinthian Don’t miss your opportunity to be a part of this year’s Inspiration for the Family.

The homeowner and Euclid police suspect the eggs are launched a block or two away, the Northeast Ohio Media Group reported. Albert Clemens Sr. said whoever is responsible has “phenomenal” accuracy, launching five or six at a time and often hitting the front door of the green, two-story home that he and his late wife bought nearly six decades ago. The after-dark attacks sometimes sound like gunshots as eggs splatter on the aluminum siding, creating a residue that strips the paint, he said. He used to clean up each time but quit because it happens so often. His insurer won’t settle a claim until police catch the vandal or vandals, so Clemens is waiting until then to make repairs. But he refuses to move from the home he shares with his adult daughter and son, on a corner less than a mile from the police station. “I would live and die in this house — but it’s been kind of a nightmare,” Clemens told the media group. Officers haven’t determined a suspect or specific motive, though they have suspicions. “Somebody is deeply, deeply angry at somebody in that household for some reason,” Lt. Mitch Houser said. Police traced the eggs to a local Amish farm, but fingerprinting shattered shells proved useless because egg proteins destroy DNA. Door-to-door questioning yielded no tips, and a $1,000 reward for information remains unclaimed. “The person or people who are doing it have remained very tight-lipped apparently,” Houser said. “I would imagine it would be hard to keep a secret of something that had been done hundreds of times and for nobody to step forward to talk about it.” Malfunctioning sign sends mixed message Associated Press MIAMI BEACH — A sign welcoming tourists to Miami Beach briefly offered visitors a confusing message. The flashing, portable sign along the Julia Tuttle Causeway on Tuesday read: “Welcome visitors! Prohibited.” It was supposed to flash this message on three different screens: “Welcome visitors! Prohibited on the beach: glass, metal, alcohol and Styrofoam.” By Tuesday evening, city officials had apologized for the error and the sign was removed to be corrected. 1B • Daily Corinthian Features Sunday, March 8, 2015 1955 Rock Hill Rockets Greg Curry shared this old photo of the 1955 Rock Hill Rockets local baseball team and he needs some help from Daily Corinthian readers.

Barry offers humorous take on life in new book BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez “Live Right and Find Happiness (Although Beer is Much Faster” by Dave Barry c.2015, Putnam $26.95 225 pages Life, Liberty , and the Pursuit of Happiness. The Declaration of Independence says those are things you get just for living here. But did you ever notice that the third one takes some work? You have to pursue happiness, but how can you chase something so ethereal? Dave Barry has some ideas for you. And in his new book “Live Right and Find Happiness (Al- though Beer is Much Faster),” you’ll catch them. Contrary to popular belief, money can buy happiness. The truth, says Barry, is that you “need a really large quantity of it.” And if you don’t have money, “you’re going to have to face the harsh truth: You need more beer.” And yet, sometimes Barry wonders if he’s really happy, in the way he was when he was “young and carefree and basically an idiot.” He envies his daughter for the fun she has, just like he envies his Greatest Generation parents for the fun they made years ago. David Beckham, though: Barry envies him because he’s “considered to be the hottest man on Earth by essentially every woman on Earth…” Including Barry’s wife, who’s a soccer writer for a major newspaper. Not that he’s bitter about it… Maybe happiness comes with a driver’s license. Barry’s daughter is awfully excited about that, even though “there isn’t anybody that the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles doesn’t think can drive a car.” If it was left up to Barry, at any rate, Sophie would drive a 1961 Plymouth Valiant station wagon for awhile. But seriously (if that’s possible here), our parents had much more fun than we’re having, maybe because “They were just not as into worrying as we are today.” In Brazil , they know what happiness is, whether their soccer team wins or not (preferably not “not”). Russians are people just like us – they love their families, they want nice things, they hate referees – and they certainly seem happy. On the other hand, happiness is not found on TV or through the American Dream, and it’s definitely not found in DIY stores. Maybe happiness is found with family, past and present, near and far. “If not, there’s always beer.” Take a hike around any bookstore, and you’ll see that the Self-Help section is pretty good-sized. It can be difficult to know which book will make the most impact on your life, so why not make it easy for yourself? Just grab “Live Right and Find Happiness (Although Beer is Much Faster)” and call it even. I’m kidding: this book will be found in the humor section. Still, the point is that author Dave Barry will make you happy laughing at his rants and hilarious (but spot-on) observations about, well, just about everything from high school nerdiness to Vladimir Putin. Nothing’s safe from his gentle pokes – and that includes your heart, at the end of this book. That’s typical, vintage, perfect Barry and fans are going to love it. If that’s you, then “Live Right and Find Happiness (Although Beer is Much Faster” is a book to pursue. The Mill at Mississippi State: ‘It’s really coming together’ BY SLIM SMITH The Commercial Dispatch STARKVILLE — For long-time developer Mark Castleberry, The Mill at Mississippi State University represents the most challenging project of his career. For starters, the $55-million project began as three separate projects and will ultimately be six. The financing — a combination of private and public funding — has been a challenge even for the experts Castleberry has used to sort through the complex procedures. He’s had to walk the fine line between the restrictions that govern renovation of the historic Cooley Building and transforming the massive building into a state-ofthe-art convention center and office development. In a field where every surprise has a price-tag attached to it, he’s had some of that, too. Yet, on a recent tour the project, none of those challenges seem to register on Castleberry’s face. Why is this man smiling? “Well, it’s not like doing a strip mall, you know?” he said. Indeed, Castleberry said the unique challenges the project have presented have been an awful lot of fun, especially now that parts of the projects are nearing completion. The three-story, 456-space parking garage should be completed on May 7. The centerpiece of the project, the venerable old Cooley Building (The Mill), will open later that same month. In fact, the first of four tenants already under contract, the MSU-operated nSPARC research company, is set to move into a sprawling office complex on the second floor by the end of May. The third part of the project, the 105-room Courtyard by Marriott Hotel has a contract deadline of Oct 1., but Castleberry is optimistic the work will be finish earlier to take advantage of the crowds that pack town during MSU football season. Work on three additional projects on the property that were not part of the original plan will begin soon, although there is no timetable for completion as of yet. The new projects are a 6,500-square-foot fine dining restaurant and a 4,000-square-foot casual dining restaurant located on either side of The Mill and a four-story mixeduse structure that will include 20 condominiums and retail space. “It’s really coming together now,” Castleberry said. “It’s really getting to be a lot of fun walking around now because you can really see it for what it’s going to be. It’s taking form.” “I can see this being a place for special events. It has sort of a tavern-feel to it and I think it would be great to treat it along those lines. It could be used for small private parties, things like that. That would be fun.” Mark Castleberry Real estate deveoper Castleberry is far from the only person who is eager to see the project finished. The Mill at MSU has been a dream of both the university and the city of Starkville for a dozen years now as leaders in the city and the university recognized the strategic value of the old building as both a gateway to the university and the city and a way to integrate the two entities. Plans to develop the MSU-owned property began in 2003, but the project existed only on paper for years due to difficulty in acquiring financing. The recession of 2008 put the project on hold indefinitely. It wasn’t until September 2012 that signs of life began to emerge, when Castleberry was chosen to take over as the project developer. After months of weaving through the labyrinth of agreements, deals, requirements and negotiations, work officially began on the project in May 2014 as a collaboration among the university, the city of Starkville, the State of Mississippi and private investors. That, upon completion, the actual construction will be finished in less time than was required to put the deal in place speaks to the complexity of the project. The centerpiece of the project is the 93,000-square-foot Cooley Building, long referred to — although incorrectly — as The Cotton Mill. Built in 1902 and expanded in the 1920s and 1940s, the building was constructed as a textile factory called The John M. Stone Cotton Mill. The cotton was not milled at the site, however. The factory was where the cotton was turned into fabric until 1962, when the business closed. Mississippi State purchased the building in 1965, and renamed it after the school’s former utilities superintendent, E.E. Cooley. The building was used as the university’s physical plant until 2012. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The building’s historic status has presented its own challenges, but also opportunities, Castleberry said. “The National Park Service has been very involved in the process,” he said. “Their goal is to maintain the historical integrity of the building. They want it to look as it looked when it was built when it comes to the major components. That’s presented some challenges, but at the same time, I think keeping some of those original ideas really make the building interesting.” One of the most obvious nods to history is the paint on the interior brick walls and the ceilings of the 93,000-square-foot building. “Everything has to be painted white,” Castleberry said. “Back when it was built, the idea was that white paint maximized the natural light that came through all these windows. It seemed odd at first, but now that we see it, it still makes a lot of sense.” The biggest challenge, Castleberry said, is maintaining the original components of the structure and transforming it into a modern, efficient facility. Much attention has been paid in blending the old with the new. There are open spaces, breezeways, odd little nooks and crannies that turn what could have been cookiecutter office space into something unique. Nowhere is that more evident than in the tower that looms far above the building. “Everybody calls it the clock tower, but there never was a clock in it,” Castleberry said. “Really, the tower was the building’s emergency fire system. The water was stored there in the event of a fire, which makes sense for a textile factory.” Castleberry said he hopes to light the tower. “At night, you can see it from far away,” he said. “It’s pretty impressive.” Another quirky part of the building is its “upper basement,” a dark, lowslung 3,200-square-foot space. “I can see this being a place for special events,” Castleberry said. “It has sort of a tavern-feel to it and I think it would be great to treat it along those lines. It could be used for small private parties, things like that. “That would be fun,” he said. You could say that about the entire project. “Yeah, it has been fun,” Castleberry said. “It’s been a lot of work and we’ve had some challenges, but mostly, it’s been fun.” 2B • Sunday, March 8, 2015 • Daily Corinthian Community Events Republican Meeting The Alcorn County Republican Party will meet on Thursday, March 12 at 6 p.m. in the Corinth Library.

Harrison Ford finds his answer in a pilot’s license and the freedom to take to the skies. But with adventure comes risk, just as Han Solo, Indiana Jones and other daring movie characters Ford brought to life realized. On Thursday, one of Hollywood’s pre-eminent stars added a plane crash to an aviation record that includes both mishaps and service to others. Ford, 72, who battled Hitler’s henchmen in “Raiders of the Lost Ark” as dashing archaeologist Jones, was flying a World War II-era plane when it lost engine power shortly after takeoff from Santa Monica Municipal Airport near Los Angeles. He crash-landed on a golf course nearby. Bystanders who feared the aircraft might explode or catch fire pulled the actor from the wreckage, and doctors who happened to be playing golf gave him aid, Los Angeles fire officials said. An ambulance then took him to a hospital in fair to moderate condition. “He had no other choice but to make an emergency landing, which he did safely,” Ford spokeswoman Ina Treciokas said. He is expected to make a full recovery, she said in a statement Thursday. No one on the ground was hurt. Ford’s son Ben tweeted Thursday evening from the hospital: “Dad is ok. Battered, but ok! He is every bit the man you would think he is. He is an incredibly strong man.” Ben Ford’s publicist, Rebecca Brooks, verified the tweet Friday in an email to The Associated Press. Harrison Ford had a cut to his forehead and scraped arms, but it wasn’t clear what inter- Cryptoquip nal injuries he may have received, Los Angeles Assistant Fire Chief Patrick Butler said. “He wasn’t a bloody mess. He was alert,” Butler said. Ford told the airport tower about 20 minutes after his 2 p.m. takeoff that he had engine failure and was making an immediate return, according to a recording posted by LiveATC.net. The plane had been flying at about 3,000 feet and hit a tree on the way down, according to witnesses and officials. The plane, a yellow 1942 Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR, had damage mostly confined to the front. “I would say that this is an absolutely beautifully executed — what we would call — a forced or emergency landing, by an unbelievably well-trained pilot,” said Christian Fry of the Santa Monica Airport Association. Charlie Thomson, a flight instructor at the air- port who saw Ford take off, said engine failure like Ford’s does not make the plane harder to maneuver. “It just means you have to go down,” he said. Among the first people to reach Ford was a spinal surgeon hitting the links, who said he was stunned to discover the actor at the plane’s controls. Dr. Sanjay Kahurana said he saw the plane “drop like a rock” about 50 yards in front of him. He ran to the plane and found the pilot stunned and complaining of pain below his waist and with a deep gash in his scalp. Kahurana and other golfers pulled him from the wreckage, and the doctor assessed his condition. That’s Kahurana realized who he was treating. The airport’s single runway sits amid residential neighborhoods, and city leaders and many residents advocate closing it, citing noise and safety concerns. Other planes have crashed into homes, and four people died in September 2013 when their small jet veered into a hangar and caught fire. Ford, who plays the swashbuckling Solo in his fourth “Star Wars” movie set for release in December, shuns attention to his private life but has been publicly effusive about his love of flying. After arriving in his own plane at a 2001 fundraising gala for Seattle’s Museum of Flight, Ford said he was glad to help “engage kids in the romance and the mystery and the adventure of flying. ... I know what it means.” Ford got his pilot’s license in the 1990s and has made headlines, though he had never been significantly injured. In 2001, he rescued a missing Boy Scout with his helicopter. Nearly a year before, he rescued an ailing mountain climber in Wyoming. In 2000, a gust of wind sent a six-seat plane Ford was piloting off a runway in Lincoln, Nebraska. He and his passenger were not injured. He has also volunteered his services during forestfire season, when helicopters are busy battling blazes. The actor, who is married to Calista Flockhart of “Ally McBeal” fame, has said his rescues “had nothing to do with heroism.” “It had to do with flying a helicopter. That’s all,” he said. The National Transportation Safety Board investigation could take up to a year before a final report. NTSB investigator Patrick Jones said the agency would look at “everything: weather, man, the machine.” Ford last year wrapped “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which was briefly suspended when Ford suffered a broken leg during shooting. He costars in a romance fantasy, “The Age of Adaline,” due out April 24. Virtual reality creators question control BY DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer SAN FRANCISCO — At the Game Developers Conference, it’s easy to imagine what virtual reality will look like when it eventually hits the marketplace. What it will feel like, however, is an entirely different matter. From wand-shaped controllers to motiondetecting sensors, VR creators are trying out all sorts of input methods on the road to bringing the immersive technology into consumers’ homes. For decades, to interact with virtual worlds depicted on television and computer screens, gamers had to rely on either hand-held controllers with an assortment of buttons, directional pads and analog sticks, or a keyboard coupled with a mouse. The head-mounted VR displays that intentionally obstruct users’ vision are providing new challenges for designers seeking to create a sense of presence on the screen. While creators agree that boosting frame rates and lowering latency as much as possible are key to achieving realistic imagery that won’t leave users feeling queasy, there’s no such consensus on just how they should interact with what’s displayed inside the goggles. “For us, it’s a choice we want to give the player,” said Elisa Di Lorenzo, business development manager at Untold Games, developer of the VR adventure “Loading Human.” In the latest demonstration of the game, users can simply look at the direction they want their avatar to move, or more precisely, they can push a joystick on a controller to go there. During a demo of the latest Project Morpheus VR prototype at this week’s annual gathering of game designers, Sony employed a pair of its wand-like PlayStation Move controllers, whose illuminated bulbs are tracked by the PlayStation Camera, to serve as hands in a VR shootout simulation. In another showcase involving toying with tiny robots, a VR rendition of the traditional DualShock 4 controller for the PlayStation 4 could be glimpsed in concert on screen, with floating text indicating each button’s duty. “It really just depends,” said Richard Marks, director of research at Sony Computer Entertainment America. “I think with DualShock 4 and Move, we have good coverage for a number of experiences, but it’s a big area of research, for sure. It’s not done. That’s not a problem that’s been solved.” Oculus VR, which launched the latest VR frenzy three years ago with the introduction of the first Oculus Rift prototype, has yet to land on a formal control scheme. The headset has been demonstrated at trade events with various controllers. The most precise and immersive solution could actually be a combination of several different systems. In a demo of the HTC Vive, a newly unveiled headset from the smartphone manufacturer and game distributor Valve, a pair of wandshaped gizmos similar to Move controllers was matched with a set of motion-detecting sensors positioned on top of shelves at opposite ends of a room. On screen, the controllers depicted hands in various environments, like a cartoony kitchen and a fantastical dun- geon. They also served as floating tools used to create a three-dimensional painting. Meanwhile, the sensors simultaneously tracked the user’s movement in a 15-by-15-foot space, with an on-screen grid popping up if an actual real-world wall was nearby. “When I could walk around the room in the Valve demo, I cared a lot less about the resolution and everything else on screen because it was really intuitive,” said Alasdair Coull, head of research and development at Weta Digital. The company partnered with Oculus and Epic Games for a passive VR encounter at GDC with the dragon Smaug from “The Hobbit” films. Other solutions on display at GDC included the latest rendition of the Virtuix Omni, a treadmill-like contraption that tracks users’ feet. At nearly 150 pounds, it’s both the bulkiest and safest solution because users’ movement is restricted. “There’s are a number of VR games close to being finished, so it’s really a question now of if the technology is going to further improve,” said Simon Carless, executive vice president at UBM Tech Game Network, which hosts GDC and other technology conferences. That answer should come soon. HTC and Valve plan to release Vive later this year, while Sony announced this week that Project Morpheus is due in stores the first half of 2016. Oculus VR hasn’t said when the Rift will be available to consumers. There’s another unanswered question looming over all these devices: How much will this cost? No one is saying yet. Bruce Willis to star in play of King’s ‘Misery’ Associated Press NEW YORK — Bruce Willis will make his Broadway debut this fall in a tale of torture and suspense — a stage adaptation of Stephen King’s novel “Misery.” Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures said Wednesday the “Die Hard” star will star opposite Elizabeth Marvel in the story of a murderous fan united with her beloved romance novelist. William Goldman has once again adapted the book. His previous film adaptation, based on Stephen King’s celebrated novel, was directed by Rob Reiner and released in 1990, starring James Caan and Kathy Bates, who won an Academy Award. Dates and a theater will be announced later. The action takes place in a lonely, snow-encased town. While driving on an icy road, novelist Paul Sheldon skids, crashes and is pinned in his car, with his new manuscript tucked away in his nearby briefcase. Annie Wilkes, his socalled No. 1 fan in the world, finds him, frees him from the car and takes him to her home to nurse him back to health. All is fine until she reads the new book in which the author has killed off a heroine named Misery who has appeared in a string of romances. Sheldon is faced with his biggest challenge ever — to revive Misery and write another novel. In the process, he must figure out how to outsmart his captor and escape. The play will be directed by Will Frears. Marvel’s other Broadway credits include “Picnic” and “Other Desert Cities.” King hasn’t had much success on Broadway, with his “Carrie” in 1988 considered a legendary flop. 4B • Sunday, March 8, 2015 • Daily Corinthian 0232 GENERAL HELP ANNOUNCEMENTS 0107 SPECIAL NOTICE GARAGE/ESTATE 0151 SALES GARAGE/ESTATE 0151 SALES YARD SALE SPECIAL BUTLER, DOUG: FoundaANY 3 CONSECUTIVE tion, floor leveling, DAYS bricks cracking, rotten w o o d , b a s e m e n t s , Ad must run prior to or day of sale! shower floor.
