Snow days shuffle school schedules
BY ZACK STEEN
zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
Each year snow days are often a hot topic among students,
parents and school administrators. 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.

City considers revised
business district rules
BY JEBB JOHNSTON

As time moves on, so does
the character of the city.
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

Christie Bradley is committed

One person at a time.
Bradley was recently honored for her dedication by being named Magnolia Regional
Health Center Employee of the
Year.
“Magnolia is like my second
home,” said Bradley. “There is a
tight bond here and I work with
some really good people.”
Bradley, a Kossuth High
School graduate, started work-

high school. She began her tenure at the hospital in 1986 as
nurse assistant.

The proposed changes will
go to a public hearing in the
next meeting of the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen at 5
p.m. on March 17.
The changes, which would
rename the area the Downtown Business District, are
also needed in light of progress the city has made with
downtown revitalization and
historic preservation, said
Huwe.
The revisions will specifically prohibit the operation of
gas stations. The city holds a

Ministry breaks down barriers for women
BY STEVE BEAVERS
sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
A single cause has brought
four local women together.
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

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.”

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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

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-

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.

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.

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.

Deaths
Etta Sue Lindsey
Etta Sue Lindsey died March
5, 2015 at her residence. She
was born May 3, 1935, in a
sharecropper’s cabin near Gurdon, Ark.
Her parents were Maston
and Georgia Legate. Sue was
the next to youngest of nine
children. Times were very
hard and money was scarce.
At a very young age, her family
moved to Idabel, Okla., where
they continued to do sharecrop
farming.
Sue grew up around Idabel
and went all 12 years of school
in the Idabel School System.
She always lived in the country and rode the school bus to
school. At that time, country
kids were considered as living
on the wrong side of the track,
so to speak.
Her mother died when Sue
was 13 years old and she had
to assume all of the household
chores for her father and brother. The other siblings all had
married and moved away, except the younger brother Jimmy. He had a medical problem

and was sent to live at a boy’s
school in Pauls Valley, Okla.,
and later to the State Hospital
in Vinita, Okla. Life was very
hard on the farm and she had
to keep up with her school lessons, along with all the household chores.
Sue married Billy Ray Lindsey, at the age of 17 on July 26,
1952. 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.
Billy transferred to many different places throughout his
27 year career, but they always
stayed together, except when
his overseas tours were remote. 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. She acquired a
position as Accounting Supervisor and Office Manager for
the Larry James OldsmobilePontiac-Cadillac
dealership.
Sue remained at the dealership
for more than 20 years, until it
went out of business in 1996.
After the dealership closed,
she worked part time with the
city and county schools, in the
lunch department. Sue retired
at the age of 62.
Sue was a member of Oakland Baptist Church and was
very active in several departments. She was devoted to her
family. She enjoyed spending
time with all the grandchildren
and was always there for them.

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

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.

Thousands to mark
Selma anniversary
BY JAY REEVES
Associated Press
SELMA, Ala. — Thousands of people gathered
in Selma, Alabama on
Saturday morning ahead
of a speech by President
Barack Obama at the
50th anniversary of a
landmark event of the
civil rights movement.
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.
Dozens of charter
buses from across the
country and thousands
of people poured into
the west Alabama town

hours before Obama’s
speech. 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.

Owners of local formal wear store prepare for retirement
BY KIMBERLY SHELTON
kshelton@dailycorinthian.com
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.”

In a continued effort to
serve America’s heroes
Magnolia Funeral Home
has recently initiated a
new program to provide a
charitable contribution in
the name of veterans they
have the privilege to serve.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Trey
Lyles scored 14 points, KarlAnthony Towns added 13 with
nine rebounds and No. 1 Kentucky pulled away from Florida 67-50 on Saturday to complete the storied program’s
first unbeaten regular season.
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.
For 30 minutes this game
resembled last month’s battle
in Gainesville, when the Gators gave the Wildcats one of
their biggest challenges this
before Kentucky eventually

they were taken the distance in Davis Cup.
“We’d lost a couple

that pain.’” It may have
only delayed the inevitable for the U.S. team,
though. Britain remains

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.”

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.

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

half. ... Lyles’ 10 first-half
points were a career best
for the first 20 minutes.

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

Angeles is defending division champ.

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.

— the only times they
teamed up previously was
for three ITF junior events
in 2002-03 — and the
right hand-left hand combination took time to get
used to each other’s style.
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.

Colts parting ways with wide receiver Wayne
BY MICHAEL MAROT
AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis gave Reggie
Wayne the answer he
didn’t want to hear.
They don’t want him
back. 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.

Police stumped
by egg attacks
Associated Press
EUCLID, Ohio — An
85-year-old man says
his suburban Cleveland
home has been pelted
with eggs several times a
week for a year, and police haven’t been able to
crack the unusual case despite stakeouts, questioning neighbors, installing a
surveillance camera and
even testing eggshells as
evidence.
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.

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.”

Harrison Ford’s love of flight marked by mishaps, service Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — When
a man battles Darth Vader, Nazis and other evildoers for work, what does
he do for fun? 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.
