20% chance of snow

Chilling memories of ice storm 1994 fi lled the minds of Crossroads residents this past weekend as the National Weather Service issued a win-ter weather watch.

The storm was predicted to dump more than 3 inches of snow and ice on the area today. The NWS recalled the watch early Monday, issuing a new statement calling for only a slight chance of frozen precipi-tation.

John Moore III, a meteo-

rologist with the NWS, said a strong arctic cold front com-bined with an upper level disturbance might produce a dusting for North Mississippi, but new models showed the heaviest precipitation chances would be much further south.

“Central Mississippi will see the greatest chance,” Moore said.

Today’s local forecast calls for a 20 percent slight chance of snow with a high of 34. To-night could see snow or sleet. A 40 percent chance is possible with a low of 27.

Wednesday’s forecast calls for a 30 percent chance of sleet or freezing rain with highs in the high 30s and lows in the 20s.

This week marks the 20-year anniversary of ice storm ’94, the major ice storm that crip-pled North Mississippi in Feb-ruary 1994.

The ice storm was very un-usual in size and the amount of precipitation that fell. It was the result of an abnormally large “overrunning” of mois-ture that moved into cold air ahead of a front, according to

the National Oceanic and At-mospheric Administration.

The ice storm covered parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Louisi-ana and Tennessee, but Missis-sippi was the hardest hit.

The heaviest amounts of precipitation was reported in North Mississippi, as the storm dumped close to 6 inches of ice on the Crossroads.

On the morning of Feb. 10, 1994, ACE reported 100 per-cent of homes in Alcorn County had no power. Hundreds were

Actress Marilyn Monroe once said that a smile is the best makeup any girl can wear.

So, start perfecting your walk and fl ash those pearly whites.

The Miss Mississippi Prelimi-nary pageants are quickly ap-proaching.

The Miss Alcorn County and Outstanding Teen Alcorn County and the Miss Historic Crossroads and Outstanding Teen Historic Crossroads Pag-eants, all preliminaries to the Miss Mississippi Scholarship Pageant will be held on Feb. 15 at the Corinth Coliseum Civic Center.

Corinth has held the prelimi-nary pageants for the past 29 years and is excitedly awaiting this year’s pageants.

“It’s a fairytale for any girl,” said coordinating assistant, Joyce White. “They have a won-derful year of traveling and learning ahead.”

Up until 5 years ago, con-testants were between 17 to 24 years old. However, Miss Amer-ica started an Outstanding Teen Pageant making it possible for girls 13 to 17 years old to participate in the scholarship program, which raises money for The Children’s Miracle Net-work.

“We are all volunteers,” said White. “Everyone from the co-ordinators to the people who help get the girls ready.”

“Regardless of whether they

win, every girl on stage is my girl,” she added. “This is some-thing that runs in our blood. I get all excited.”

Contestants usually travel from Vicksburg to Orlando, Fla., but this year, the pageant is returning home to the Atlan-tic City boardwalk.

“Mississippi is very much welcomed because we are one of the top leaders in scholar-ship money,” said White. “We give money to our non-fi nalists as well.”

Interviews will begin on Sat-urday at 1 p.m. Each girl will be given a time to meet with the judges for a short presenta-tion in which each contestant will share her platform, com-munity service work and show how much she knows about the city and state that she is to rep-resent.

There is a $100 sponsor fee for all girls who enter the pre-liminary pageants. The fee goes straight into the scholarship funds.

Doors will open two hours before the show which will be-gin at 7:00 p.m.

Tickets will be $10 for adults and $5 for students. There is no charge for pre-schoolers.

“It is such a wonderful expe-rience for the girls and young women, said Director, Marga-ret Henry. “We invite everyone to come out and be a part of it.”

Where love and faith cross paths with murder is the point you will fi nd local author Pat Trainum.

“Shadows of the Past” – penned under the writer’s maiden name of Patricia Brad-ley – takes readers on a journey of characters Taylor Martin and Nick Sinclair.

Set in Logan Point, Miss., Taylor is a psychology profes-sor and criminal profi ler who prides herself on being able to solve any crime.

“The one crime she desper-ately wants to solve is what happened to her father,” said Trainum of her debut novel. “He disappeared and she wants to know why, but as she stalks the truth of the past, someone is stalking her.”

Nick, who pens mystery nov-els for a living, is also dealing with a search of his own. Fol-lowing the death of his wife, a tragedy he believes he could have prevented, Nick sets out to fi nd the only family he has left.

“Nick realizes he can’t pro-tect his family,” said Trainum. “He has to trust God to do that.”

When the two characters cross paths, Nick only seems to fi nd trouble.

“God is watching over us even when it doesn’t feel like it,” said the Corinth writer in explaining what she wants readers to take from the pub-lication. “Our self worth comes from him.”

“Shadows of the Past” has garnered several awards. The novel won the 2008 Maggie in the Inspirational category. It also took home fi rst place in the 2012 Touched By Love and Daphne du Maurier contests. “Shadows of the Past” was a 2012 Genesis award fi nalist and was bronzed in the Frasier contest.

“Each book teaches me something,” said the former abstinence educator whose second book in the series – “A Promise to Protect” – is due for release in October. “It’s about taking characters to different levels so readers can relate … if readers do not care about the character, they will put the book down.”

“Shadows of the Past” has re-

ceived a good review from USA Today.

“Fans of Dee Henderson and Brandilyn Collins will fi nd a kindred voice in newcomer Patricia Bradley’s well-crafted romantic suspense debut and should watch for what crime comes next to Logan Point,” said the review.

Trainum has also been named an “author to watch” along with getting several four and fi ve star ratings.

“Writing is the hardest work I have ever done,” said the 69-year-old author. “To me, writing is watching a movie in my head.”

Several of 34-year writing veteran’s short stories have also been published in Wom-an’s World.

Trainum will have a book signing on Saturday at Books-A-Million in Corinth. The event is set for 2-4 p.m. Books are available at Books-A-Million, Walmart, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and LifeWay.

“I have always loved sus-pense and fi nding out who did it,” she said. “My advice is to learn the craft in whatever you want to do then trust God … honoring Him through my writing is my top priority.”

A state of emergency was declared and the area experienced gasoline and food shortages. Business-es and schools were shut-down for up to two weeks. Parts of Alcorn County would not see electricity restored for up to three weeks.

The storm only lasted around 36 hours, but caused catastrophic damage that took the area months to recover. Signs of damage were still visible one year later.

Mississippi reported $1.3 million in urban tree loss and $500 million in utility damage.

More than $3 million in damage was caused in the fi ve states effected, nine people were killed and more than two mil-lion customers were without power at the height of the storm.

Today in

history

Today is Tuesday, Feb. 11, the 42nd day of 2014. There are 323 days left in the year.

 Today’s Highlight in

History:

On Feb. 11, 1812, Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry signed a redistricting law favoring his Democratic-Republi-can Party — giving rise to the term “gerryman-dering.”

 On this date:

In 1858, a French girl, Bernadette Soubi-rous, reported the first of 18 visions of a lady dressed in white in a grotto near Lourdes. (The Catholic Church later accepted that the visions were of the Vir-gin Mary.)

In 1862, the Civil War Battle of Fort Donelson began in Tennessee. (Union forces led by Brig. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant captured the fort five days later.)

In 1929, the Lateran Treaty was signed, with Italy recognizing the in-dependence and sover-eignty of Vatican City.

In 1937, a six-week-old sit-down strike against General Motors ended, with the compa-ny agreeing to recognize the United Automobile Workers Union.

In 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet leader Josef Stalin signed the Yalta Agreement during World War II.

In 1963, American author and poet Sylvia Plath was found dead in her London flat, a sui-cide; she was 30.

In 1964, The Beatles performed their first American concert at the Washington Coliseum in Washington, D.C.

In 1979, followers of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini seized power in Iran.

In 1989, Rev. Barbara C. Harris became the first woman consecrated as a bishop in the Epis-copal Church, in a cer-emony held in Boston.

In 1990, South Af-rican black activist Nelson Mandela was freed after 27 years in captivity.

 Ten years ago: Cable

TV giant Comcast Corp. launched a hostile bid to buy The Walt Disney Co. for more than $54 billion (Comcast later dropped its bid).

Five years ago: Stew-art Parnell, owner of Peanut Corp. of Ameri-ca, repeatedly invoked his right not to incrimi-nate himself at a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing on a salmonella out-break that had sickened hundreds.

Booneville proposes tax incentives

BOONEVILLE — The city of Booneville is considering options to boost recruitment of new businesses.

Mayor Derrick Blythe asked the board to con-sider at a future meet-ing a proposal for a tax incentive package to bring new business to the city.

Blythe said it’s vital the city take a proactive approach to recruiting businesses.

“We’ve got to funda-mentally change the way Booneville attracts business,” he said.

The mayor is working with the Mississippi Development Authority, the Prentiss County De-velopment Association, the county tax asses-sor’s office and board attorney Daniel Tucker

on the details of the plan and he hopes to present a detailed pro-posal to aldermen in the near future.

FLORENCE, Ala. — The University of North Alabama Studio Jazz Band will celebrate the music of love and the romantic spir-it of Valentine’s Day with a special public performance at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 13, at Norton Auditorium on the UNA campus.

The Shoals Area Big Band will join the UNA Ensemble as special guests for “Love and All That Jazz,” an evening of love songs and popular swing-music standards. Founded by the late Dr. Lyman Mitchell in 1979, the Big Band includes UNA professors, former UNA band members, local business owners, studio musicians, music educators and several fi rst-class musicians from outside the Shoals.

“The Shoals Area Big Band is a special group of musicians like none other,” according to Dr. Lloyd Jones, an associate professor of music and UNA’s director of bands. “The members enjoy com-ing together and enter-taining audiences with the uniquely American art form – jazz, and more spe-cifi cally, big-band swing.”

Throughout its history, the Big Band has raised more than $80,000 in scholarship funds for the UNA band program. The group includes three original members: Dr. Jimmy Simpson (lead alto saxophone and clarinet), former chair of the UNA music department; Dr. Edd Jones (trumpet and arranger), former director of UNA’s band program; and UNA graduate Edsel Holden (trumpet and vo-cals). Many other current members joined the Big Band soon after its forma-tion, including Mitch Ri-gel (drums), Terry Ownby (lead trumpet), Rick Burks (saxophone) and Dr. Lloyd Jones (saxophone and current leader).

“Still other members have joined by fi lling in as substitutes during re-hearsals,” Lloyd Jones ex-plained, “and as positions became available, they gained membership as regular performers. The more seasoned players have helped the younger players become strong performers through the years, and that tradition has lasted for 35 years.”

Jones added that he knows of no other big band in the region with

that history of consistent musical longevity.

“Dr. Lyman Mitchell re-ally had a passion for big-band swing,” he noted, “and his legacy is this out-standing organization. He really meant a lot to the members – and to UNA – and we are proud to have been associated with him.”

A highlight of the concert promises to be Jones’ ar-rangement of “The Story of Jazz,” a musical history of the jazz form and its many genres, including New Or-leans Dixieland, ragtime, Chicago Dixieland, boogie-woogie, swing, bebop, cool jazz, funk, fusion, Latin jazz and even third-stream Jazz.

“ ‘The Story of Jazz’ is a real treat for the students and the audience alike,” Jones explained. “We’ll take a single melody, which is based on the blues, and perform it in various styles to demonstrate how jazz music has changed through the years. All the contrasting styles are still around today and have infl uenced virtually every form of popular contempo-rary music and even classi-cal music. It is amazing to hear how the approach to jazz changed from region to region throughout the United States during the 20th century.”

The concert program will also include a salute to swing master Benny Goodman, the music of Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Chuck Mangione, Gordon Goodwin, Harry James, Count Basie, Duke Elling-ton and more.

“We have a very talent-ed group of student per-formers this year,” Jones concluded. “Many will be featured as soloists dur-ing various portions of the concert. Additionally, our vocalist, Miss Kayla Flannagan of Athens, will be featured on sev-eral outstanding arrange-ments by Dave Roberson, including Billy Joel’s ‘Just the Way You Are.’ “

Admission is $15, $5 for students (must show I.D.) and free for military and children under the age of 10. Tickets can be purchased online at www.una.edu/music-theatre (service fee will apply), at Kennedy-Douglass Center for the Arts in downtown Florence, or at the door. For more in-formation, call the UNA Department of Music and Theatre at 256-765-5122.

The ice storm of 1994 was one of the most beautiful sights I had ever seen.

Every tree branch, every telephone wire, every bench and birdbath was covered in a beautiful layer of ice.

I was fascinated by the ice until the next day when I heard the fi rst breaking limb. It sounded like a small cannon had fi red in the distance.

The hushed silence that a layer of ice and snow had created was broken by the sound of limbs breaking off and falling to the ground. The limbs fell on the wires and then the wires fell. That peaceful silence became ominous when there was no radio, television, or tele-phone service due to the fallen wires.

I felt isolated.Several older people at church told the

story of a previous ice storm with much the same effect that lasted for over a week.

In the olden days, they said, they would take a horse’s curry comb and cut the bris-tles down, fasten those to the bottom of their shoes, and use them to walk on the ice.

We, of course, had no curry combs in 1994, so we had to walk the best that we could. Many people fell on the ice and broke their arms, legs, or collarbones.

Everyone knew that salt was the way to melt ice on concrete. What we didn’t know was that table salt was not the right kind to use, because table salt will dissolve concrete. Several sidewalks and steps were permanent-ly pitted when people put table salt on the ice.

Because of the damage to the power lines, there were many people who lost electrical power for heating. Even fi re place inserts use electricity for the blowers. Fortunately, I heat with propane and the house stayed warm during that time, but other people who used electricity were facing a very cold prospect.

Many had to move in with friends to stay warm. Portable kerosene heaters were in great demand at hardware stores. Of course, that also meant a search for a source of kero-sene.

As the week wore on, the food in refrigera-tors and freezers started to spoil, so people had to begin cleaning them out.

Long lasting damage to the trees became evident after the ice began to melt.

As people cleared the debris of fallen tree limbs, many realized that the tops of trees had also broken out completely. A lot of these “topped” trees died during the next year or two. Twenty years later you can still see a tree here and there that was deformed by the ice storm of 1994.

As the weather warmed, pipes that had not been heated started breaking. Houses were fl ooded when water pipes broke. Floors and ceilings were ruined. Plumbers worked over-time. Hardware stores did a booming busi-ness. Insurance agents were swamped with claims.

The beauty of the ice storm was trans-formed into a dangerous and complicated disaster that took many years to repair.

Prayer for today

A verse to share

JACKSON — A fi gura-tive self-destruct switch is turned on at many state agencies in Mississippi.

No time bombs are tick-ing in the offi ce buildings that overlook the Capitol. But laws that authorize many agencies specify a date that the law will be re-pealed and the agency will cease to exist.

Those repealers are tradi-tionally one of the ways that the state’s powerful Legisla-ture has kept departments and commissions on a short leash. Because agencies must return every few years to have their operating au-thority renewed by the Leg-islature, lawmakers get a guaranteed chance to make changes in an agency’s mis-sion or pressure agency heads to operate differently.

The power of the repeal-er was illustrated in 2013 when Democratic lawmak-ers used an effort to renew the state Medicaid agency to push Republicans to ex-pand the Medicaid program and add another 300,000 low-income people to its rolls. The additional cov-erage is an option under the federal health overhaul

that Presi-dent Barack O b a m a signed in 2010.

Unable to get the votes in the House to renew M e d i c a i d during the

regular session, Gov. Phil Bryant was forced to call a special session to renew Medicaid authorization. Lawmakers voted to renew the program only in June, two days before the pro-gram would have run out.

During the special ses-sion, House Republican leaders tried to remove the repealer from Medicaid, but Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and the Senate put it back in. They’ll be debating Medicaid again this year, because the agen-cy is supposed to dissolve on July 1. Precedent sug-gests a court could keep the agency alive, at least for a short time, if necessary.

But, burned by the Med-icaid experience, House Republican leaders have decided to turn off the self-destruct sequence at some agencies. They’ve proposed

removing repealers on vari-ous agencies and laws, as well as some reverters — measures that take away authority to spend or bor-row money.

“It was a policy decision on the agencies that were go-ing to be here,” said House Ways and Means Commit-tee Chairman Jeff Smith, R-Columbus, explaining that House Republican leaders no longer see the need for routine repealers on parts of state government that have existed forever.

“This is very innocuous,” Smith argued.

But if the overall effort is successful, such a move would be a signifi cant — and voluntary — surrender of power from Mississippi’s traditionally strong Legisla-ture to its traditionally weak executive branch.

House Democrats see it as another effort to run over the minority. With re-pealers, any member gets a chance to offer an amend-ment on the fl oor to alter an agency or add a new re-sponsibility. But without the repealer, they would have to rely on the goodwill of a committee chairman to

bring forward a bill to do what the member wants.

“The only reason we get to address the needs in other areas is because there was a reverter or there was a repealer,” said Rep. Bo Eaton, D-Taylorsville, ar-gued last Wednesday before the House. “These repealers are for you, so you can ad-dress issues that affect your people.”

Arguments by Eaton and other Democrats success-fully defeated an effort to remove the reverter from the Emerging Crops Fund, which makes low-interest loans to farmers to build chicken houses. House Bill 381, which contained the language, was held for fur-ther action by the House.

Some other bills remov-ing repealers have passed the House, though. They likely face a hard road in the Senate, where Reeves likes to keep a close eye on state agencies. Until he chang-es his mind, lawmakers will leave the self-destruct switches on.

House seeks to end self-destruct switch

In a world where Woody Allen can get a lifetime achievement award at the Golden Globes at the same time his adopted daugh-ter accuses him of sexually abusing her when she was a child (Allen has repeatedly denied it), and where a fi lm “The Wolf of Wall Street” sets a record for use of the F-word, it is a wonderment that an obscure, low-budget fi lm called “Alone Yet Not Alone” has had its Best Original Song Oscar nomi-nation withdrawn for alleg-edly violating ethical rules.

The Los Angeles Times writes that Cheryl Boone Isaacs, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, “told The Times that the ‘key point’ in the academy’s nullifi ca-tion of (songwriter Bruce) Broughton’s nomination was its violation of Rule 5.3, requiring that the credits of composer and lyricist be removed from the DVD of eligible songs sent to mem-bers of the music branch.

“‘The idea,’ Isaacs says, ‘is that people are voting solely for the song and not who wrote it.’ By emailing branch members, Brough-ton, a former academy gov-ernor and current member of the music branch’s ex-ecutive committee, violated that anonymity.”

Big-budget fi lms spend large amounts of money

campaign-ing for Os-cars with full-page ads in Variety and other trade pub-l i c a t i o n s , as well as glitzy parties for Acad-emy mem-

bers. Studios send DVDs “for your consideration” to members of the Screen Ac-tors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Art-ists (AFTRA). Is any of that campaigning anonymous? How does a low-budget fi lm with far fewer resources get noticed, if not by campaign-ing? Why does emailing voters, even if a technical-ity was breached, violate the rules when splashy ads, parties and the mailing of DVDs to Academy mem-bers do not?

One clue may be in the visceral reaction to the fi lm itself from the secular-pro-gressive left. It is a movie made by a Christian group. Despite a record of large profi ts and high TV ratings for fi lms with a Christian message, they continue to embarrass some fi lmmak-ers, who apparently think Americans spend their days swearing at one another, having promiscuous sex, shooting people, blowing

up stuff and driving fast.In a smarmy article on

The Daily Beast website titled “Bible Thumpers’ Os-car Fail,” the fi lm is char-acterized as having been made by an independent group headed by a “sug-ar daddy of the religious right” and members of “the right-wing evangelical fi lm-making world.” Maybe the fi lm should be rated “W” for wholesomeness and its message about God not abandoning people in dis-tress. Does the secular left fear such a fi lm might lead some people to rely on a power higher than the fed-eral government?

It’s doubtful any of the fi lm’s critics have seen the movie as it had only a one-week run last September in selected cities to qualify for Oscar consideration. A wider release is scheduled for this summer, but the secular left only has to hear “evangelical,” “conserva-tive” and above all “Chris-tian” to set them attacking like rabid dogs.

If anyone cares about the fi lm’s plot at this point, the website Yahoo! Movies de-scribes it as “...an alleged true-life tale from 1755 of two young sisters kidnapped by Native Americans after a raid on their family farm.” The girls maintain their faith, which helps them endure and overcome their

circumstances. The production com-

pany, Enthuse Entertain-ment, based in San Anto-nio, Texas, describes itself as making “God-honoring, faith-based, family-friendly fi lms that inspire the hu-man spirit to seek and know God.” Given this parentage, it’s a miracle the song was nominated.

The title song is sung by painter, author and speaker Joni Earackson Tada, a quadriplegic, who is known and respected among many evangelicals. Whether “Alone Yet Not Alone” deserves an Oscar should be up to the voters, not the Academy hierarchy. Whatever its merits, the title sounds more appealing than the 2005 Best Original Song winner, “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp.”

Maybe the only bad pub-licity is no publicity. The controversy over this song has lifted the fi lm from obscurity. Regardless, the Academy should restore the song’s nomination because of the clear advantage in money, promotion -- and, yes, campaigning -- that other nominated songs have enjoyed.

First West Nile viruscase in Mississippi

JACKSON — The Mississippi State De-partment of Health is reporting the state’s first human case of West Nile virus for 2014.

The reported case is in Hinds County.

The state health de-partment only reports laboratory-confirmed cases to the public. In 2013, Mississippi had 45 West Nile cases and five deaths.

State Epidemiologist Dr. Thomas Dobbs says while it seems surprising for a case to be reported given all the winter weather the state’s had this season, it serves as a good reminder that the virus can occur year-round.

 Trial date pending in Grenada death

GRENADA — Grenada County Circuit Court re-cords show one of the men facing a capital mur-der charge in the death of Grenada Police Capt. John Wayne Haddock has been competent to stand trial.

Documents filed this past week show Kyle David Wendt was ex-amined by a forensic psychologist at the Mis-sissippi State Hospital in Whitfield and found competent.

A trial date is pending.Authorities say Wendt

was driving the vehicle that struck Haddock as the officer attempted to lay spikes across Highway 8 West to stop a high-speed chase, on Oct. 7, 2011.

Also facing a capital murder charge is Thom-as Leland Lee of West Monroe, La. Wendt is from Colorado Springs, Colo. Both are being held without bond in the county jail.

 Cold weather taxesnatural gas system

OLIVE BRANCH — The extremely cold weather this winter has put peo-ple in Olive Branch on notice that the pressure capability of the natural gas system needs im-provement.

It’s been about a month since the first severe cold snap, when a smattering of homes and businesses began to experience low pressure, and less heat.

With everyone using more heat, the system was taxed. Demand was too great at some points, particularly on the edges of the system.

There also was con-cern about the future, as the growing community results in more homes

and businesses on the gas system.

The Commercial Ap-peal reports Mayor Scott Phillips has city workers examining the system at critical points.

 Exhibit dedicationset at Camp Shelby

HATTIESBURG — A new exhibit at the Mis-sissippi Armed Forces Museum at Camp Shelby will be dedicated Thurs-day to the late Air Force Reserve Lt. Col. David Anthony Williams.

Williams worked with Mississippi Power Com-pany from 1966-2004.

Williams served as a reconnaissance pilot with the Mississippi Air National Guard’s 186th Aerial Reconnaissance Group in Meridian from 1964-1974. He trans-ferred to the Air Force Reserve in 1974 and re-tired in 1991.

Williams was killed in an aviation accident in 2012. The materials for the ex-hibit were provided by his widow, Carol Williams.

Congress reports no big breakthroughs

WASHINGTON — Little more than a week after Groundhog Day, the evi-dence is mounting that lawmakers have all but wrapped up their most consequential work of 2014, at least until the results of the fall elec-tions are known.

“We’ve got a lot of things on our plate,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said recently when asked what Congress will be busy with this year, but he predicted no break-through accomplish-ments on immigration, taxes or any other area.

Immigration legisla-tion is hardly the only area where inaction is the likeliest outcome.

A Senate-passed bill has fallen into the con-gressional equivalent of a black hole in the House, where conserva-tive critics cite a chang-ing series of reasons for not wanting to take action.

Initially, they said they didn’t want to vote on a bill because they oppose amnesty for immigrants living in the country illegally. Then they observed it would be a political mistake to shift focus away from their own opposition to the health care law, which unites them, and turn it onto an issue that divides them. Most recently, Boehner, who has said repeatedly he wants to pass an immi-gration bill, has joined others in citing a lack of trust with Obama as a reason for inaction.

If immigration legisla-tion is moribund in the House, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has made it clear he doesn’t intend to seek passage of a sec-ond Obama priority, this one a bill to facilitate passage of trade deals with Europe and Asia.

The legislation is opposed by large seg-ments of organized labor, the very unions that Democrats will be counting on to pour money and manpower into their bid to hold control of the Senate in the November election.

Republicans need to gain six seats to win a majority. They say they increasingly are bullish about their prospects, what with the country generally pessimis-tic about the future, Obama’s favorability ratings well below the levels of his re-election campaign and contro-versies afflicting the president’s health law.

 Parachute accident kills Utah woman

A Utah woman at-tempting a parachute jump near Zion Na-tional Park died when her parachute failed to open, park officials said.

Amber Bellows fell about 2,000 feet to the ground Saturday after-noon. The 28-year-old had been attempting the jump from Mount Kinesava, in the south-ern part of the park fa-mous for its soaring red rock formations.

Bellows hiked to the top of the mountain Sat-urday morning with her husband, 29-year-old

Clayton Butler. The Salt Lake City couple had married just two weeks before.

Bellows jumped first, around 4 p.m., but her parachute did not open. Her husband jumped after her but could not reach her body. It took him two hours to hike down the mountain and notify park officials.

Officials began a helicopter search on Sunday morning and found Bellows’ body by 10 a.m.

Park officials said Bellows had been an ex-perienced BASE jumper. BASE stands for Build-ing, Antenna, Span, Earth — the different platforms used by jump-ers.

BASE jumping is banned in Zion, and this is the first time a jumper has died.

 Boston-area hotelsfill fast for marathon

BOSTON — Hotels in the Boston area already are almost booked to capacity more than two months before the first Boston Marathon since two explosions at the finish line last year, tourism officials say.

About 36,000 run-ners are expected to compete in the April 21 race, 9,000 more than last year. That includes about 4,500 who were stopped by officials before completing the race after the pressure cooker bombs went off, killing three people and injuring more than 260.

Interest from families, fans and the media also is expected to be high, putting additional strain on hotels.

Animal shelter remains closed

KILN — The Hancock County Animal Shelter temporarily closed its doors last week as it dealt with an unknown illness that was making dogs there sick.

Director Toni Accardo

tells The Sun Herald she believed 39 dogs were sick with “dog flu” or ca-nine influenza, but tests sent to the state lab re-turned inconclusive.

Accardo had said shelter workers noticed late last week the dogs were getting sick and attempted to treat them with fluids and antibiot-

ics. The shelter was also sterilized with bleach.

Accardo said dogs had fevers and were suffering from nasal discharge, coughing, sneezing, vom-iting and diarrhea.

Alaska Airlines flightforced to land

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Of-ficials say a Honolulu-bound Alaska Airlines flight was forced to re-turn to San Jose, Calif., after a power problem.

Alaska Airlines spokes-woman Bobbie Egan says Flight 837 touched down safely at Mineta San Jose International Airport around 9:40 a.m. Monday, a little less than two hours after it took off. It was able to taxi to a gate under its own power.

There were no reports of injuries. Egan says the flight was carrying 132 passengers and six crew members, who will be put on another plane slated to leave San Jose at 10:45 a.m.

She says the power problem was temporary and affected a redun-dant navigation system, but the captain decided to turn around out of an abundance of caution.

Kraft Singles to loseartificial ingredients

NEW YORK — Kraft is removing artificial preservatives from its most popular individually wrapped cheese slices, in the latest sign that companies are tweaking their recipes as food la-bels come under greater scrutiny.

The change affects the company’s Kraft Singles in the full-fat American and White American va-rieties, which Kraft says account for the majority of brand’s sales. Sorbic acid is being replaced by natamycin, which Kraft says is a “natural mold inhibitor.”

Kraft’s decision comes as a growing number of Americans try to stick to diets they feel are natu-ral. That has prompted a number of food makers to change their recipes.

The new Kraft pack-ages come stamped with a red circle noting they have no artificial preser-vatives or flavors.

Getting Lost in the “Woulds”Perhaps it has happened to you before. While you’re out hunting or camping, you look up and realize you have no idea how to get back to your base camp. It is a scary thing to get lost in the woods and not have any idea of how to get out. But an even greater danger is posed to those who get lost in the “spiritual woulds.: Note the following examples:

Don’t allow yourself to get caught up in the “woulds” and be lost forever. Follow Jesus and be led into life everlasting.

I would obey the gospel but... And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and

wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Acts 22:16. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:16

I would attend worship services but... And let us consider one another in order to stir up love

and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25

For in fact the body is not one member but many. 1 Corinthians 12:14

I would have better friends but... Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” 1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the

way of evil. Proverbs 4:14

I would tell my friends the gospel but... Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your

good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16

I would study my Bible more but... All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profi table

Mississippi State recog-nized 1964 physical edu-cation graduate and Delta businessman Michael W. “Mike” Sanders of Cleve-land as its national alum-nus of the year during the MSU Alumni Association 2014 awards banquet.

“We are proud to salute Mike Sanders on behalf of Mississippi State Univer-sity for his success as an entrepreneur and for his loyal lifelong connection with his alma mater,” said Jeff Davis, executive di-rector of the MSU Alumni Association. “Of our near-ly 128,000 living alumni, Mike is a distinguished selection for Alumnus of the Year.”

Sanders is the former longtime president and CEO of Jimmy Sand-ers Inc., one of the Mid-South’s largest agricul-tural input supply and distribution businesses. He is now semi-retired following a 55-year career in various capacities with the company.

Since its 2012 sale to Pinnacle Agriculture Holdings, he now serves as a consultant for the company and is a mem-ber of Pinnacle’s board of directors.

“It is with pleasure that I accept this great honor bestowed upon me by Mississippi State Univer-sity,” said Sanders. “MSU taught me life lessons I

have carried with me, and I am forever grateful for my association.”

Since 1969, Mike has been married to the for-mer Nan Long, a Delta State University English graduate and an artist. He has three children, Michael W. Sanders and Amanda Sanders Turner, both of Cleveland, and Ellen Sanders Voelkel of Baltimore, Md., and six grandchildren.

The Sanders’ philan-thropy extends to the arts, the community, and their universities.

At Mississippi State, Sanders has served on the boards for the Alum-ni Foundation, the MSU Foundation and the Bull-dog Club. Since gradua-tion, he has been a mem-ber of the MSU Alumni Association and affi liated with the Bolivar County Alumni Chapter.

Sanders attended Mis-sissippi State on a dual scholarship for football and track. Although his football career ended due to injuries early in his col-lege days, Mike ran track and sprinted for most of his time at MSU. In his sophomore year, he and fellow members of the MSU track team com-peted to win the 1962 SEC championship.

Over his lifetime, Sand-ers has generously sup-ported MSU athletics and

has made transforma-tional gifts to the Track and Field program.

His giving also extends to an MSU scholarship, which assists students across the university.

Along with the nation-al alumnus recognition, each of MSU’s eight aca-demic colleges honored a graduate for outstand-ing personal, professional and community achieve-ments.

The new MSU alumni-of-the-year group in-cludes:

Mississippi State University honors alumni

WASHINGTON — An American citizen who is a member of al-Qaida is actively planning attacks against Americans over-seas, U.S. offi cials say, and the Obama adminis-tration is wrestling with whether to kill him with a drone strike and how to do so legally under its new stricter targeting pol-icy issued last year.

The CIA drones watch-ing him cannot strike be-cause he’s a U.S. citizen and the Justice Depart-ment must build a case against him, a task it hasn’t completed.

Four U.S. offi cials said the American suspected terrorist is in a country that refuses U.S. military action on its soil and that has proved unable to go after him. And President Barack Obama’s new policy says American sus-pected terrorists overseas can only be killed by the military, not the CIA, cre-ating a policy conundrum for the White House.

Two of the offi cials de-scribed the man as an al-Qaida facilitator who has been directly responsible for deadly attacks against U.S. citizens overseas and who continues to plan at-tacks against them that would use improvised ex-plosive devices.

But one U.S. offi cial said the Defense Depart-ment was divided over whether the man is dan-gerous enough to merit the potential domestic fallout of killing an Amer-ican without charging him with a crime or trying him, and the potential in-ternational fallout of such an operation in a country that has been resistant to U.S. action.

Another of the U.S. of-fi cials said the Pentagon did ultimately decide to

recommend lethal action.The offi cials said the

suspected terrorist is well-guarded and in a fairly remote location, so any unilateral attempt by U.S. troops to capture him would be risky and even more politically explosive than a missile strike.

Under new guidelines Obama addressed in a speech last year to calm anger overseas at the ex-tent of the U.S. drone cam-paign, lethal force must only be used “to prevent or stop attacks against U.S. persons, and even then, only when capture is not feasible and no other rea-sonable alternatives exist to address the threat ef-fectively.” The target must also pose “a continuing, imminent threat to U.S. persons” — the legal defi -nition of catching some-one in the act of plotting a lethal attack.

The Associated Press has agreed to the gov-ernment’s request to withhold the name of the country where the suspected terrorist is be-lieved to be because of-fi cials said publishing it could interrupt ongoing counterterror operations.

The offi cials spoke on condition of anonym-ity because they were not authorized to discuss the classifi ed drone targeting program publicly.

House Intelligence

committee chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., complained last week that a number of terrorist sus-pects were all but out of reach under the admin-istration’s new rules that limit drone strikes based on the target’s national-ity or location. Two of the U.S. offi cials said the Jus-tice Department review of the American suspected terrorist started last fall.

The senior administra-tion offi cial confi rmed that the Justice Depart-ment was working to build a case for the presi-dent to review and decide the man’s fate. The of-fi cial said, however, the legal procedure being followed is the same as when the U.S. killed mili-tant cleric and former Virginia resident Anwar al-Awlaki by drone in Ye-men in 2011.

The offi cial said the president could make an exception to his policy and authorize the CIA to strike on a onetime basis or authorize the Pentagon to act despite the possible objections of the country in question.

The Justice Depart-ment, the Pentagon and the CIA declined to com-ment.

If the target is an Amer-ican citizen, the Justice Department is required to show that killing the person through military

action is “legal and con-stitutional”— in this case, that the Pentagon can take action against the American, as the admin-istration has ruled him an enemy combatant under the Authorization for Use of Military Force, a reso-lution Congress passed a week after the 9/11 at-tacks to target al-Qaida.

Mary Ellen O’Connell, a professor of international law at the University of Notre Dame, said there is a school of thought that the Obama admin-istration’s drone policy is “lawless.”

“Why should the Jus-tice Department issue the execution warrant for anyone abroad? The fact that they give extra scru-tiny only because he’s an American exacerbates this negative impression,” O’Connell said.

U.S. drones have killed four Americans since 2009, including al-Aw-laki, who the adminis-tration said was actively plotting to kill U.S. citi-zens.

U.S. offi cials said both Senate and House ap-propriators have blocked funding to transfer the CIA’s stealth RQ-170 drone fl eet to the Pen-tagon. Lawmakers have also objected to the shift, arguing that the CIA has more experience fl ying drones.

BY KEN SWEETAssociated Press

NEW YORK — The stock market ended up more or less where it be-gan Monday in a quiet day for investors who had little economic data or company earnings to react to.

Analysts said the mar-ket is likely to remain in a holding pattern until traders hear from Janet Yellen in her fi rst testi-mony before Congress since becoming head of the Federal Reserve.

After spending most of the day lower, the Dow Jones Industrial average turned slightly higher in late trading and closed up 7.71 points, or 0.1 per-cent, at 15,801.79.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 2.82 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,799.84 and the Nasdaq composite rose 22.31 points, or 0.5 percent, to 4,148.17.

The tech-heavy Nas-daq was pushed higher by Apple, which rose $9.31, or 2 percent, to $528.99. Apple rose af-ter the activist investor Carl Icahn said he has dropped his shareholder proposal to force Apple to increase its stock buy-backs. Apple recently disclosed it had bought $14 billion of its own stock.

Yellen, who started her term as head of the cen-tral bank this month, is scheduled to testify be-fore Congress on Tuesday and Wednesday. Yellen’s comments will be closely watched, especially af-ter recent disappointing economic news and the Fed’s decision to further reduce on its monthly bond purchases.

Despite recent volatil-ity in the market, inves-tors believe that Yellen will likely continue her predecessor’s plan to continue winding down the Fed’s economic stim-ulus program. Last week, the Fed cut its bond pur-chases to $65 billion a month.

“We should expect more volatility as the Fed transitions away from its (economic stimulus plan),” said Doug Cote, chief investment strate-gist at ING Investment Management.

Investors got a respite

from a recent deluge of earnings and economic reports. Wall Street re-mains in the middle of earnings season, when the bulk of the nation’s publicly traded compa-nies report their quar-terly results. Only two out of the 55 companies announcing this week reported their results Monday: the toy maker Hasbro and the industri-al conglomerate Loews Corp.

Hasbro rose $2.27, or 5 percent, to $52.36. Hasbro’s said its fourth-quarter profi ts fell from a year ago, due to a slow holiday season, but it also boosted its dividend and issued a bright out-look for 2014.

Loews, which owns a variety of businesses including insurance, oil drilling and hotels and resorts, fell $1.92, or 4 percent, to $43.26. The company reported a loss of 51 cents a share, due to some one-time charg-es tied to its ownership of insurance company CNA Financial.

So far this quarter, 344 members of the S&P 500 index have reported their results. While the earn-ings results have been solid — up 8.1 percent from a year ago, accord-ing to FactSet — many companies have been lowering their forecasts for 2014. Fifty-seven companies have cut their forecasts for 2014, while only 14 have raised them, according to Factset.

“The guidance for the upcoming quarters has not been good at all,” said Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist with S&P Capital IQ.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Repub-lican lawmakers in Tennessee on Monday threatened that the state could turn off the spigot of incentives for Volkswagen if workers at the German auto-maker’s plant decide this week to approve union representa-tion.

State Senate Speaker Pro Tem Bo Watson in a news confer-ence in Chattanooga called the United Auto Workers campaign at the plant “un-American.”

“Should the workers at Volk-swagen choose to be represent-ed by the United Auto Workers, any additional incentives from the citizens of the state of Ten-nessee for expansion or other-wise will have a very tough time

passing the Tennessee Senate,” he said.

About 1,500 out of the 2,500 employees at the plant are eli-gible to vote in the three-day union election that begins Wednesday. Volkswagen an-nounced earlier this year that a new SUV model will be built either in Chattanooga or in Mexico.

Gov. Bill Haslam’s offi ce did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Re-publican governor last year in-sisted that state incentives are not contingent on the union be-ing rejected at the plant.

But state House Speaker Beth Harwell, a Nashville Republi-can and close Haslam ally, told The Associated Press on Mon-

day that she shares concerns about a UAW victory at the plant.

“It would defi nitely put those (incentives) in jeopardy,” she said. “That would jeopardize a very good arrangement for Volkswagen to locate here.”

“And I hate that, because I want Volkswagen here, we’re so proud and honored to have them here,” she said. “But unionization is a huge setback for our state economically.”

Volkswagen received a more than $500 million incentive package as part of its decision to build the plant in Chattanoo-ga in 2008.

The UAW vote would be the fi rst step toward creating a German-style “works council”

at the plant, which would rep-resent both blue and white col-lar employees on issues such as working conditions and plant effi ciency, but not wages or benefi ts.

Under Tennessee law, work-ers would not have to join the union to be represented.

German law gives labor rep-resentatives half the seats on the Volkswagen’s supervisory board, where some powerful members have raised concerns about the Chattanooga plant being alone among the com-pany’s large factories without formal labor representation.

The UAW vote would be the fi rst step toward creating a Ger-man-style “works council” at the plant which represents both

blue and white collar employ-ees on issues such as working conditions and plant effi ciency, but not wages or benefi ts.

Under Tennessee law, work-ers would not have to join the union to be represented.

U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, who last year said Volkswagen would be-come a “laughingstock” for en-tering negations with the UAW, had announced last week that he would curtail public com-mentary on the process while the election was underway.

But in response to what he called the UAW’s attempts to use his position to try to silence other critics, the former Chat-tanooga mayor said he will hold a news conference Tuesday to “ensure my position is clear.”

Lawmakers: UAW threatens VW incentivesAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — When Janet Yel-len makes her fi rst public remarks Tuesday since succeeding Ben Ber-nanke as Federal Reserve chair, her every word will come under scrutiny.

Will she embrace all of Bernanke’s policies? When will the Fed raise short-term interest rates? Is she worried about the economy or the stock market?

Don’t expect many direct answers when Yellen addresses a House Fi-nancial Services Committee hear-ing. Her replies will most likely boil down to a single overarching point: The Fed will keep all its options open depending on how the economy evolves.

Even so, anticipation of Yellen’s testimony is running high, given concerns about the economy and the job market, turmoil in global markets and uncertainty about her direction at the Fed.

After a rocky 2014 so far, nervous investors will be paying particularly close attention. They want to know whether Yellen might deviate from the message the Bernanke Fed sent late last year: That Fed offi cials think the economy’s outlook is bright enough to withstand a slight pull-back in their stimulus but that rates should stay low to fuel a still-subpar economy.

The occasion is the Fed’s twice-a-year report to Congress on interest-rate policy and the economy. After Tuesday’s House hearing, Yellen will address the Senate Banking Com-mittee on Thursday. Next month, she’ll preside over her fi rst Fed

meeting and hold her fi rst news con-ference.

Yellen, 67, the fi rst woman to lead the Fed in its 100 years, was sworn in Feb. 3 for a four-year term. As vice chair for three years and long a leading economist, she has given speeches and addressed congressio-nal committees.

But as Fed chair, considered the world’s most powerful economist post, the spotlight will burn much brighter.

“A new Fed chair’s fi rst testimony is always a testing period,” said Di-ane Swonk, chief economist at Me-sirow Financial.

Below are issues Yellen will likely be pressed on this week. For each issue, here is what investors would like to hear and what Yellen is likely to say.

Outlook for economy

■ Investors: The Dow Jones in-dustrial average has sunk nearly 5 percent this year in part because sectors of the economy like manu-facturing have shown signs of weak-ening. Investors worry that 2014 may not be the breakout year for the economy that many had foreseen. They hope Yellen will signal that she expects a more robust economy in 2014 after 4? sluggish years of recov-ery from the Great Recession.

■ Yellen: She won’t likely disap-point. It’s the nature of Fed leaders to err on the side of optimism. A downbeat message could derail con-fi dence and potentially send mar-kets tumbling. Yellen will probably

refer to what the Fed said in a policy statement last month: Encouraging trends in consumer spending and business investment suggest that growth was picking up — at least be-fore 2014 began. Yellen will surely be asked about the January jobs report, which showed lackluster hiring for a second straight month. She may stress the solid hiring in sectors like manufacturing and construction.

Emerging markets

■ Investors: Investors have yanked money from emerging econ-omies from Turkey to Argentina. They’ve done so in part because they fear that a pullback in the Fed’s stimulus will send U.S. interest rates up and draw investor money from overseas in search of higher returns. Currency and stock values in emerg-ing markets have dropped. The Fed made no mention of this develop-ment in its most recent policy state-ment, leaving investors unsure how concerned Yellen and the Fed might be.

■ Yellen: She may point out that some developing nations have moved to support their currencies by boosting rates and pursuing eco-nomic reforms. She may also note a sometimes-forgotten fact: That the Fed’s mandate is to maximize em-ployment and keep prices stable in the United States, not the rest of the world. But Yellen will likely assure investors that the Fed is monitoring emerging markets for any signs that turbulence there might be harming the U.S. economy.

JACKSON — Developers are rushing to stake a claim to Mississippi’s tourism tax develop-ment incentives, even as lawmakers must de-cide whether to extend the tax credits.

The Mississippi Development Agency has now awarded up to $155 million in potential subsidies for three malls since the sales tax re-bate program was widened last year to include “cultural retail attractions.”

Under the terms of the law, which was ex-panded to cover shopping centers in 2013, the state will return 80 percent of sales taxes col-lected at a development over 10 years, until the total collected reaches 30 percent of the con-struction price.

If lawmakers don’t act to extend the tax cred-its, they will run out on July 1. House Bill 1233, sponsored by Rep. Rita Martinson, R-Madison, would extend the program by three more years. After a lawmaker questioned the bill last week, it was moved to the bottom of the House calen-dar. Thursday’s deadline for House consider-ation could pass before lawmakers get to it.

Martinson said she thinks incentives have been helpful, but said there’s some sentiment to let the lures run out.

“We might even think about letting it go,” she said. “It might be at the point to sit back and see what we’ve done.”

Many economists voice doubts about sub-sidizing retail development. Good Jobs First, a nonprofi t group that is skeptical of business subsidies, is particularly critical of giving money to retailers, saying they don’t pay well or create spinoff jobs.

The fi rst retail development to qualify for the widened incentives was Pearl’s Outlets of Mis-sissippi, where Spectrum Capital could get up to $24 million of its $80 million investment back. That mall opened in November.

Since then, Memphis developers have won certifi cation for the proposed Outlet Shops of the Mid-South in Southaven, which could get $34 million of its $113 million construction cost.

Now, the third and largest development has been certifi ed. CBL & Associates has been ap-proved for up to $96.3 million of a projected $321 million investment for the Gulf Coast Gal-leria, which it hopes to build in D’Iberville.

MDA has also certifi ed developers of a pro-posed Westin hotel in downtown Jackson to collect up to $15.7 million from their proposed $52.3 million investment.

Hotels, museums and other tourist attractions were already eligible for the rebates before last year, but may not reach the 30 percent ceiling. Jackson’s King Edward Hotel had only collected $1 million of up to $19.5 million by the middle of 2013.

Through mid-2013, the program had paid out only $20.8 million. Of that, almost 75 percent went to another stage of the Pearl development including a Bass Pro Shops store and the Trust-mark Park baseball stadium.

WASHINGTON — Look no fur-ther than your dinner plate to un-derstand how the new farm bill af-fects you.

About 15 percent of the money in the legislation signed into law Fri-day by President Barack Obama will go to farmers to help them grow the food you eat. Most of the rest of the money in the almost $100 billion-a-year law will go to food stamps that help people buy groceries.

Five ways the farm law affects what is on your plate:

■ Where you shop: The law in-cludes incentives for farmers mar-kets and makes it easier for food stamp recipients to shop there.

■ The main course: Most of the subsidy money benefi ts produc-ers of the main row crops — corn,

soybeans, wheat, cotton and rice. Most corn and soybeans in the U.S. are grown for animal feed, so those subsidies keep costs down for the farmers and the livestock produc-ers who buy feed for their beef cat-tle, hogs and chickens. Corn is an ingredient in hundreds if not thou-sands of processed foods you buy in the grocery store.

■ Fruits and veggies: Most fruits and vegetables don’t get gener-ous subsidies like the staple crops do. But starting in the 2008 farm law, fruit and vegetable producers began getting more of the share, including block grants, research money and help with pest and dis-ease mitigation. Money for these “specialty crops” was expanded in the new law.

■ Milk: It’s unclear if the price

of a gallon of milk will be affected by the law. Unlike the rest of ag-riculture, dairy farmers have had more of a rough go in recent times, facing price collapses and shutter-ing dairies in the past fi ve years. To prevent that from happening again, the bill gets rid of current subsidies for dairy and creates a type of insurance that pays out when the gap between the price farmers receive for milk and their feed costs narrows.

■ Dessert: The law leaves intact the government’s sugar program, which supports prices and protects growers from foreign competition. Candy makers and other food and beverage companies have said government protections for sugar farmers artifi cially restrict sup-plies.

What’s for dinner? The farm bill has big impactAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — In the 4 1⁄2 years since the Great Recession ended, millions of Americans who have gone without jobs or raises have found themselves wondering something about the economic recov-ery:

Is this as good as it gets?It increasingly looks that

way.Two straight weak job

reports have raised doubts about economists’ predic-tions of breakout growth in 2014. The global economy is showing signs of slowing — again. Manufacturing has slumped. Fewer peo-ple are signing contracts to buy homes. Global stock markets have sunk as anx-

iety has gripped develop-ing nations.

Some long-term trends are equally dispiriting.

The Congressional Bud-get Offi ce foresees growth picking up through 2016, only to weaken starting in 2017. By the CBO’s reckon-ing, the economy will soon slam into a demographic wall: The vast baby boom generation will retire. Their exodus will shrink the share of Americans who are working, which will hamper the economy’s ability to accelerate.

At the same time, the government may have to borrow more, raise taxes or cut spending to support Social Security and Medi-care for those retirees.

Only a few weeks ago, at least the short-term view looked brighter. Entering 2014, many economists predicted growth would top 3 percent for the fi rst time since 2005. That pace would bring the U.S. economy near its average post-World War II annual growth rate. Some of the expected improvement would come from the government exerting less drag on the economy this year after having slashed spending and raised taxes in 2013.

In addition, steady job gains dating back to 2010 should unleash more con-sumer spending. Each of the 7.8 million jobs that have been added pro-

vided income to someone who previously had little or none. It amounts to “adrenaline” for the econ-omy, said Carl Tannen-baum, chief economist for Northern Trust.

And since 70 percent of the economy fl ows from consumers, their in-creased spending would be expected to drive stron-ger hiring and growth.

“There is a dividing line between a slow-growth economy that is not satis-factory and above-trend growth with a tide strong enough to lift all the boats and put people back to work,” said Chris Rupkey, chief fi nancial economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. “That number is 3 percent.”

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE:

Edited by Rich Norris and Joyce Nichols Lewis

xwordeditor@aol.com

Dear Annie: A few years ago, my wife went out of town for a confer-ence. A month after she returned, I was on our computer and noticed that she hadn’t logged out of her email. My curiosity got the best of me, and I saw that she had traded emails with an old boy-friend. I then discovered that the two of them had met while she was at the conference. One of her last emails to him said, “I still have feelings for you.”

On the advice of a mar-riage counselor, I was direct with her about it. She claimed nothing hap-pened and that they only met for dinner and said she would never contact him again. She also was angry that I had invaded her privacy.

Last year, my wife and I hit a rough patch. I got suspicious of her behav-ior and checked her cell-phone. I saw that she had exchanged multiple texts with this same guy. Again, she claims nothing hap-pened, the texts were in-nocent and I had no right to snoop.

My wife knows the password to my email, and I never lock my cell-phone. All of my commu-nication is an open book. Meanwhile, she now locks her phone and has multiple email accounts. I understand the need for a little privacy, but I don’t believe you should be hiding things in a com-

mitted relationship. My wife is angry that I don’t trust her, and I’m having trouble dealing with this. Any advice? -- Broken Up

Dear Broken: We don’t trust your wife, either. She promised not to contact this man again and then did so and hid it from you. She locks her phone and has mul-tiple email accounts to which you appar-ently do not have the passwords. Worse, to defl ect blame, she accuses you of snoop-ing. There may not have been a sexual af-fair, but it defi nitely sounds like an emo-tional attachment. Please go back to your counselor and ask your wife to come with you. The two of you need a refresh-er course on how to make your marriage work and regain trust.

Dear Annie: I own a small casual restaurant in a small town. People order at the counter and then take their food to a table to eat.

In the past couple of years, I’ve noticed more people bringing in food from other establish-ments and eating at our place. I don’t understand

why people think it’s OK to take advantage of an eating establishment like this. Don’t they realize that the owner is paying for the incidental items they use, such as napkins? Don’t they see that they are taking up space that could be used by people who are actually helping to pay the bills incurred by the restaurant? Am I looking at the situation in the wrong way? -- No Free Lunch

Dear No: We sus-pect most people have no clue that this is an inconvenience to you. There are some estab-lishments that allow people to sit for ex-tended lengths of time without ordering, but we know of none that encourage you to bring your own food. Most restaurants re-quire a minimum or-der to justify the use of the space. We sug-gest you implement this policy with a sign at each table and at the cash register. You may have to approach fl outers with a bill, but word will get around.

Dear Abby

Horoscopes

Boards for the Corinth School District and Alcorn School District were expected to meet

Monday night. Look for coverage this week.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re not afraid of working hard. You’ve done it before, and you know that it’s worse in your mind than it is in reality. Yes, the idea of hard work is scarier than the work itself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It feels strange to be praised for something you did so long ago that you can hardly identify with it anymore. And yet, you can’t expect everyone to be up-to-the-minute with your life, so you’ll gladly accept the good will.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The most important task of the day looms large in your mind, and yet there’s something you’d rather be doing. Well, who said it was the most important, anyway? If it wasn’t you, your resistance may be warranted.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). True, planning will be key to the fi nal execution of your project. But too much planning is a dan-ger, too, as the plan takes up so much energy that there’s little left to take action.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Love is distracting, especially if it’s new and unexplored. Your heart, body and mind are eager for dis-covery. How far to take this and when to rein it in will be the main questions of the day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can work solo for hours and hours and never get lonely. In fact, you prefer to work alone now. A deep and abiding respect and love for yourself will carry you through.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The role you play in a person’s life will be greatly amplifi ed if that person happens to be a child. The young, inexperienced and impressionable need a positive example, and today you’re it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The fearlessness you show through your physical body is experienced in your emotional body as excitement and fl ow. You’ll make several decisions very quickly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The job on the table is

mysterious; it involves unknown elements and a different skill set from the one you currently possess. Don’t let that stop you, and don’t wait until you know what it’s about to get started.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What’s the use of doing good work if nobody sees it? You don’t like to promote yourself, but now you’ll be doing the world a real disservice if you don’t show people what you’ve been doing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People only lie when they are afraid. There’s someone who isn’t being totally truthful with you. Think about what this per-son is afraid of. If you can ad-dress that fear and reduce it, you’ll get the truth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Are the lines in the road rules or guidelines? Your opinion on this matter is refl ected in the way you navigate the road of a relationship. Under what circum-stances would you dare to cross the lines?

DEAR ABBY: My best friend of 20 years, “Claire,” has suffered bouts of depression ever since I have known her. She recently confi ded to me that her brother had repeatedly sexually abused her as a child.

When she went to her mother for help, her mother told her she needed to “thank God that it was happening because it would make her a stronger person.” Her mother is dead now, but her father is still alive. I am furious at him for allowing the abuse to happen under his roof.

Abby, the family acts like it never happened! Claire invites her dad to events we plan to-gether like birthdays. How do I attend knowing what I know? I don’t want to sit across a table from him.

My husband is an abuse survi-vor and feels even more strongly than I do. It has made get-togeth-ers miserable for us. Should we just smile and pretend we don’t know because we can’t fi ght my best friend’s fi ght for her? How do we get over the anger? -- CON-

FUSED IN OKLAHOMA

DEAR CONFUSED: Years ago, someone explained to me that depression is anger turned in-ward. Your friend is enduring these bouts of depression be-cause she was never allowed to express her anger where it be-longed -- at her brother and her mother. Whether the mother ever

told her hus-band what was going on, or whether it was the con-tinuation of a long fam-ily tradition of sexual abuse, is s o m e t h i n g we don’t know. But if you haven’t

suggested to Claire that she could benefi t from counseling, you should.

As to you and your husband participating in these family gatherings, my advice is to stop doing it. Celebrate special oc-casions with your friend right before or after these occasions; many people have pre- or post-birthday get-togethers, and that’s what I recommend in a case like this.

DEAR ABBY: I recently be-came involved with a longtime female friend of mine when she was in town. I have always loved “Miranda” as a friend, but now I also feel attracted to her as a potential perfect match.

The problem is she lives far away. We keep in touch almost daily. I love that, but it makes me miss her, and I end up thinking about her all day, which doesn’t help. She says she has feelings for me, too, but “the timing isn’t

in our favor.”What can I do to go about my

day without letting thoughts of Miranda rule my brain? I am 27 and haven’t felt like this about anyone before. We’ll see each other in a couple of months and the time couldn’t be crawling by any slower.

Abby, are long-distance rela-tionships even worth trying? --

ANXIOUS IN COLORADO

DEAR ANXIOUS: Of course they are. As the saying goes, “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Years ago, couples who were separated by distances courted via the mail. In fact, some of them wrote beautiful poetry and love letters that are classics. (Check out the letters of Victorian writers Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning.) Couples separated by war before the invention of the Internet also managed to nurture relation-ships that led to marriage.

So consider yourself lucky that you and Miranda can be in touch every day, even though at this point it’s frustrating. As to the problem of her dominating your thoughts all day, a way to deal with it is to STAY BUSY.

Local schedule

For the second Winter Olympics in a row, Maria Hoefl -Riesch of Germany won the gold in the women’s super-combined, which con-sists of both the downhill and the slalom. Nicole Hosp of Austria got the silver and Julia Mancuso of the United States got the bronze for her fourth career Olympic medal in Alpine skiing, twice as many as any other U.S. wom-an.

Short-track results

Canada got its fi rst gold medal of the games as vet-eran short-track speedskater

Charles Hamelin won the 1,500 meters for his third dif-ferent Olympic title. Russia got its fi rst short-track medal ever, thanks to Viktor Ahn, who captured the bronze for his adopted country. He won three golds for his native South Korea, but after miss-ing the Vancouver Olympics, he changed his name and moved to Russia.

NYET for Bjoerndalen

Norway’s Ole Einar Bjoern-dalen just missed what would have been a record 13th Win-ter Olympic medal, fi nishing fourth in the men’s biathlon 12.5-kilometer pursuit. The

event was won by Martin Fourcade, giving France its fi rst gold. His teammate, Jean Guillaume Beatrix, picked up the bronze. Bjoerndalen has several more shots in Sochi to win the medal that would put him one ahead of cross-country skiing great Bjoern Daehlie.

The brothers

not Karamazov

Michel Mulder edged his teammate Jan Smeekens by 12-thousanths of a second in the men’s 500, and Mulder’s twin brother Ronald got the bronze as the Dutch scored another speedskating sweep.

The Netherlands also went 1-2-3 in the men’s 5,000 and took the top spot in the women’s 3,000 at the Sochi Games.

Scorcher in Sochi

Temperatures at the Win-ter Olympics soared to 61 de-grees F along the Black Sea coast, while it was well above freezing in the nearby moun-tains, where skiers were put-ting snow in their racing suits to cool down and ski jumpers were landing in puddles.

The weather could get even warmer by the end of the

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn has reserva-tions about the new baseball the col-lege game plans to use beginning in 2015.

Speaking at the Razorbacks’ me-dia day, Van Horn said the new ball — which features fl atter seams — is only a start on the path toward using the same baseball the professionals use.

“I think it’s going to be the same ball with fl at seams,” Van Horn said. “We need to use a fl at-seamed ball that’s a little harder.”

The NCAA Division I baseball committee voted unanimously in November to allow conferences to adopt the new ball for regular-sea-son play next year. The ball, shown by researchers to fl y farther, will be used during the NCAA baseball tournament in 2015.

A raised-seam ball is now used in the college game.

Dialed-back bats were put into play in 2011, leading to a drop in offense to levels not seen since the wooden-bat era before 1974. An American Baseball Coaches Asso-ciation survey last fall found that 87 percent of coaches who responded wanted to make the change in balls.

“We’re not using the rock baseball that they use in the big leagues, or in the minor leagues,” Van Horn said.

BOONEVILLE — Missis-sippi Sports Hall of Fame in-ductee Bonner Arnold made a bold statement in 1973 when women’s basketball was re-born at then-Northeast Mis-sissippi Junior College.

“I feel like it will grow stronger and in future years I think it will contribute to Northeast,” Arnold said while serving as Northeast’s athlet-ic director.

The legendary hoops coach could not have been more right. The Lady Tigers have claimed the school’s only na-tional championship, three National Junior College Ath-letic Association (NJCAA) Region 23 titles, 10 Mississip-pi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) State Tournament crowns and are 16-time North Divi-sion champs.

Now, the team that started what has become one of the Magnolia State’s most deco-rated programs on the hard-wood is getting back together.

The 1973-74 edition of the

Lady Tigers will hold a 40-year reunion on Monday, February 17 on the Booneville campus.

Ingomar’s Shirley White, one of 13 members of that squad, felt the time was per-fect to bring a group of ladies that she described as being great teammates together again.

“It’s important to me that we renew those friendships,” she said. “We were sisters and

because of that camaraderie we developed over that year with us being the fi rst team and us setting that standard we became a close knit fam-ily.”

Women’s basketball as an intercollegiate sport was abolished by each of the state’s two-year colleges fol-lowing the 1954-55 season.

Arnold resurrected the pro-gram that he had led as coach in the late 1940s and early

1950s and tabbed Millard Lo-thenore as the new headman of the Lady Tigers, or Tiger-ettes as they were called then.

Lothenore constructed a roster for that campaign com-prised solely of individuals from Northeast’s local fi ve-county district.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Sev-en more Tennessee football players have received cita-tions in connection with a party that led to the arrests of two current players and one former Volunteer.

A police report fi led by the Knox County Sheriff’s Offi ce states that linebackers Curt Maggitt, Jakob Johnson and Jalen Reeves-Maybin were cited for providing alcohol to underage people. Offen-sive lineman Dontavius Blair, defensive lineman Malik Brown, cornerback Justin Coleman and defensive end Dimarya Mixon were cited for underage consumption.

Linebacker A.J. Johnson and former linebacker Don-tavis Sapp were arrested on charges of purchasing alco-hol for a person underage

and resisting arrest. Nose tackle Danny O’Brien was charged with criminal imper-sonation, resisting arrest and underage consumption of al-cohol. Johnson and Sapp are 22 years old. O’Brien is 20.

The arrests of Johnson, Sapp and O’Brien were an-nounced Sunday morning. The citations of the other players were revealed when the police report was released late Sunday evening.

Knox County Sheriff’s Of-fi ce spokesperson Hillary Coward said that people who receive citations are given a later booking date rather than being taken into custody immediately.

Offi cers say they received a call about a loud party at a Knoxville apartment and re-sponded at about 12:02 a.m. Sunday. Sapp said he’d quiet

the party down, but offi cers someone turned the music up as they were leaving. Offi -cers also said they later heard about a fi ght in the area.

The report by Offi cer John Sharp stated that Sapp tried to pull away as they attempt-ed to secure him. Sharp said Johnson also grabbed him by the shoulder in an attempt to keep Sapp from being de-tained. Sharp said he pulled Johnson to the ground as Of-fi cer Keith McFarland took control of Sapp, but Johnson “continued to resist arrest by pulling away and rolling around.”

The report also states Sapp and Johnson provided alco-hol and marijuana to numer-ous underage individuals, including at least one minor. Offi cers said they observed marijuana residue in a pipe,

but “the pipe was destroyed by the residents of the apart-ment as the ownership of the apparent drug paraphernalia could not be determined.”

Offi cers say O’Brien pro-vided identifi cation indicat-ing he was over the age of 21, but further investigation showed he was actually 20. The report said O’Brien “had a very strong odor of alcohol on his breath and became combative” as offi cers took him into custody.

Sapp, Johnson and O’Brien have all been released.

“We are aware of the situ-ation and are still in the pre-liminary stages of gathering all facts and information,” Tennessee coach Butch Jones said in a statement released by the university Sunday.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Chaunc-ey Billups is nearing the end of a dis-tinguished career and he has seen enough to realize that change can come at any time in the NBA.

Still, when the Detroit Pistons fi red Maurice Cheeks after only 50 games as coach, he was surprised.

“I think, fi rst of all, everybody was a little caught off guard,” Billups said. “It’s the NBA. You never know what’s going to happen.”

That’s especially true when it comes to Detroit coaches, who have been coming and going with alarming fre-quency. It’s been a decade since Bil-lups led the Pistons to the 2004 NBA title. They haven’t made the playoffs

Pistons try to stay focused after firing

Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. — Derek Jeter says the New York Yankees have no choice but to move forward now that Alex Ro-driguez has accepted his sus-pension for the 2014 season.

Rodriguez ended his ex-tended and acrimonious fi ght with Major League Base-ball on Friday, withdrawing a pair of lawsuits that were fi led in an attempt to over-turn a season-long ban for his involvement in the Bio-genesis scandal — the longest penalty in the sport’s history related to performance-en-hancing drugs.

Jeter spoke Monday at the Yankees’ minor league com-plex. He said he has texted

with A-Rod since the law-suits were dropped.

Rodriguez was given a 211-game ban last year by base-ball Commissioner Bud Selig that was reduced to 162 plus the 2014 postseason by arbi-trator Fredric Horowitz. A-Rod sued MLB and the union in federal court in Manhat-tan, claiming the arbitration process was fl awed. Rodri-guez’s lawyers fi led notices of dismissal in both cases.

“He’s not here for this sea-son, so we’re going to have to fi nd ways to win with the team that we have,” Jeter said Monday at the Yankees’ minor league complex. “It’s a complicated situation, but it’s pretty much played out.

That’s what has happened.”Rodriguez was given a 211-

game ban last year by base-ball Commissioner Bud Selig that was reduced to 162 plus the 2014 postseason by arbi-trator Fredric Horowitz. A-Rod sued MLB and the union in federal court in Manhat-tan, claiming the arbitration process was fl awed. Rodri-guez’s lawyers fi led notices of dismissal in both cases.

Jeter has texted with Ro-driguez since the decision to end the lawsuits came about.

“You’d have to ask him how he feels about it, if he’s glad that it’s over with,” Jeter said. “It’s a situation that he has to deal with. Now it’s over and it’s done with, and

we’ll move on from there. But you’d have to ask him how he feels about that.”

Rodriguez will be 39 when eligible to return in a year. The Yankees owe him $21 million in 2015 and $20 mil-lion in each of the fi nal two seasons of a record $275 mil-lion, 10-year deal.

“We have very high stan-dards and expectations within our football pro-gram at the University

of Tennessee, and ap-propriate action will be taken.”

Johnson made a team-high 106 tackles last fall in his third season as a

starter. He had 138 tack-les in 2012 and ranked fourth among all Foot-ball Bowl Subdivision players with 11.5 tackles per game. Johnson an-

nounced last month he would return for his se-nior season rather than entering the NFL draft.

O’Brien made 12 tack-les and played in all 12

games in a reserve role as a redshirt freshman last season. Sapp closed his career last fall by starting 12 games and making 66 tackles.

“The bats aren’t too bad, to be honest with you. That ball’s the issue.

“If we used the big league ball, we’d be fi ne. Because it’s a little golf ball is what it is, or a big golf ball.”

At last year’s College World Series, there were three home runs hit in 14 games — the fewest since there were two in 1966. The .234 CWS batting av-erage was the lowest since it was .227 in 1974, the year metal bats replaced wood.

Van Horn said his pri-mary concern about the lack of offense is that the recent surge in the game’s popularity will be affected by dwindling scoring.

“I just don’t want fans running off because the game’s getting boring,” Van Horn said. “I love bunting and defense and small ball, but I don’t want people leaving in the seventh inning when you’re down three be-cause they think you can’t hit a three-run homer anymore.

“That’s a little bit of my fear for the future of the game.”

The Tigerettes won their initial game back from the 17-year hiatus at Meridian Community College on November 6, 1973 by a score of 58-53.

Northeast also beat Meridian with a 53-44 decision in its fi rst home

contest one week later and started the season on a six-game winning streak after a 60-57 victory over Northwest Mississippi Community College in December.

Current Northeast head coach Brian Alexander is eager to welcome these women back to the col-lege and gymnasium that they called home for a pe-

riod of one-to-two years.“From my perspective,

we’re always excited to welcome our Lady Tiger alumni back,” he said. “It’s just a great thing to refl ect upon the suc-cess they had while they were here and to see how they’ve been productive citizens in our communi-ties.”

All members of the

1973-74 team and their families are invited for this special event. A re-ception will be held on the third fl oor of Waller Hall, located directly across the street from Bonner

Arnold Coliseum, at 4:30 p.m. on the 17th.

The squad will then be recognized at halftime of the Lady Tigers’ 5:30 p.m. matchup against Holmes Community College.

The U.S. has two gold and three bronze, and

host Russia has one gold, two silver and three bronze.

since 2009 and are now changing coaches for the fourth time since then.

Cheeks was fi red Sun-day, a move that was un-expected despite Detroit’s continuing struggles. The Pistons were 21-29 enter-ing Monday night’s home game against San Anto-nio. They were only a half-game out of a playoff spot — thanks to the glut of me-diocre teams in the East-ern Conference — when Cheeks was let go.

“It was defi nitely a sur-prise to me,” forward Greg Monroe said. “You never want to see anybody lose their job.”

Monroe has seen plenty of that since the Pistons drafted him in 2010. His rookie season was the second and fi nal year of John Kuester’s tumultuous coaching tenure, then De-troit gave Lawrence Frank two years as well before fi r-ing him.

Cheeks didn’t even get half that — a sign that own-ership and the front offi ce may feel it’s time for this team to make the transi-tion from rebuilding to winning.

“Ownership’s message was really — they want to give us the best opportuni-ty to be successful, which is respectable from our per-spective,” said the 37-year-old Billups, who has played in only 19 games for De-troit this season. “They want us to know that they believe in us, and they ex-pect a certain degree of commitment.”

Francisco Cervelli, who broke his right hand April 26, and then was sus-pended for 50 games on Aug. 5 following MLB’s

investigation of the same Florida anti-aging clinic that ensnared Rodriguez, is also doing early work. “Last year was a disaster,
