Community mourns loss of character Memorial service for McPeters will be held Wednesday BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com
The Corinth area community is mourning the loss of one of its most flamboyant and colorful town characters. Long-time funeral director Bill McPeters died Saturday in a care facility in Baldwyn after a long recovery process following an accident Oct. 17 where he suffered severe burns on his legs. McPeters turned 90 on Feb. 18. A community-wide surprise birthday party and tribute was planned, but had to canceled after the accident. He leaves behind his wife Judy; his daughter, Kayo McPeters; son, Mark Matthews and wife Carley; daughter Marcy Matthews Hinton and husband Tom; grandchildren, Caitlin McPeters Voyles, Thomas Hinton, and Will Matthews; and an estimated 10,000 families whose descendants trusted the funeral director to care for them during an emotional time of grief and loss over so many years. Family wants the community to know his funeral services were considered for a larger venue due to the crowd expected, but in the end Bill would want it to be at the place he called home -- McPeters Funeral Directors. A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday at McPeters, immediately followed by a Celebration of Life event at Refreshments, Inc. “The outpouring of support from the community has been humbling,” said Judy McPeters. “Bill would be so proud. We appreciate what everyone has done for us since the accident and now during our time of grief.” He was the state’s oldest active and licensed funeral director and was working daily at the funeral home until the accident.
Alcorn 4-H will host horse clinic BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
The Alcorn County 4-H Chapter is getting back in the saddle. The local chapter is hosting the 4-H Horse Clinic on March 12-13 at the Crossroads Arena. “The clinic is for 4-H members, but youth ages 8-18 can sign up for 4-H and attend the clinic,” said 4-H agent Tammy Parker of the event which is also open for members in Benton, Prentiss, Tippah and Tishomingo counties. Day 1 of the clinic will cover halter/showmanship, performance events (western/gaited pleasure) and trail. Day 2 will consist of roping and speed events. Both day of events are set to start at 9 a.m. An adult program will be offered from 6-7 p.m. on March 12. Purina Mills’ Jon Law will present the adult portion -Feedology 201 -- prior to a goat tying segment from 6-8 p.m. “The clinic is free and members are encouraged to bring their horse, but it is not required,” said Parker. Parker will give a rulebook review -- Ethics & Attire -- from 9-10 a.m. on the first day of the event. Trent Barnett and Nick Simmons will cover the perforPlease see HORSES | 2
He was known for his limegreen hearse, purple market scheme and light, benevolent attitude, surprise gift giving, cigars, practical jokes, hats with feathers, scarves as belts, rosecolored glasses, brightly colored suits, red snake skin books and black label bourbon. His stand-out-in-the-crowd disposition and sometimes outspoken opinions at times left him at the center of attention. McPeters’ “Love, Bill” downtown benches once created an uproar, while his joke to rob a bank backfired and he found himself in jail, but later freed after a judge’s tongue lashing. He wrote comic strips in his newspaper advertising in the 1980s and once placed an ad asking people to respect all lights while driving, red, blue -- and purple -- revealing his mission to ask motorists to respect the deceased. Almost everyone has a Bill McPeters story and those close to him say another like him will never be. “He was my hero,” said Steve Holland, “both personally and professionally. He is the most unique human being I have ever known.” “Bill is a Southern icon in the undertaking trade,” added Holland, owner of Holland Funeral Directors in three northeast Mississippi cities and a 30-year state representative from Lee County. “He lived his life his way, but he always had other people’s interest at heart first.” “He was a true gift to the people of Alcorn County,” added the friend, who said he had over 100 good Bill McPeters stories, several of which would need to be “off the record.” For long-time friend and retired Methodist minister William “Bill” Kemp of Holly Springs, it was Bill’s attention Staff photo by Mark Boehler

Supervisors OK new 911 director BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Alcorn County has a new 911 director. The Board of Supervisors approved interim director Kim McCreless to the position following the recommendation of the 911 Board. “The board felt she was doing a good job and had really turned the place around,” said 911 board chairman Rickey Gibens. “Kim has always been our go-to person and we feel we are headed in the right direction with her on board.” McCreless, who has 18
years experience as a dispatcher and deputy director, will be left at her current rate of pay until supervisors meet to discuss salary. She has been serving as deputy director since the resignation of Teresa Burns on Dec. 31. “She has really made a lot of improvements during a short time,” Gibens told the supervisors. Magnolia Regional Health Center President/CEO Rick Napper informed supervisors that MRHC will be receiving a national award for its accomplishments to implement technology solutions that have the
ability to improve patient safety and quality of care. The Stage 6 award will be presented by HIMSS Analytics Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Adoption Model at its annual conference in Orlando, Fla. next year. Only 476 hospitals in the United States carry a Stage 6 designation. “That puts us ahead of 4,500 other hospitals in the United States,” said Napper. “We know it takes executive commitment, support and a great team of healthcare professional to achieve this advanced level,” said HIMSS President/
CEO Stephen Lieber in a letter to the hospital informing it of the honor. In other board business: ■ Five bids were opened in the board’s’ intention to borrow $500,000. Supervisors voted to accept Regions Bank low bid 1.05 percent. ■ Approved Jay Hatcher being hired as a part-time dispatcher by 911.

Relic show coming to convention center BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
The Corinth Civil War Relic & Militaria Show and Sale is coming this weekend to the Crossroads Arena Convention Center. Now in its fourth year, the annual event gets bigger and better each year, said show co-director Buddy Ellis, an avid relic hunter and longtime member of the Col. W.P Rogers Sons of Confederate Veterans camp, the group that puts on the event. “The show is definitely growing,” said Ellis. “The first two years we didn’t sell out.
Last year we sold out the last vendor table the day before the show. This time we sold out all our tables two weeks ago. We’ve still got people calling about tables.” The event will feature a huge variety of Civil War-related items for sale — historical firearms, swords and knives, bullets, clothing, books, display cases, photos, relics of camp life, flags and much more. Vendors from as far away as Indiana, Virginia and Louisiana have signed up for the Corinth Civil War Relic & Militaria Show and Sale. For the first time ever, the show and sale will also in-

clude a metal-detector dealer who is traveling from Oklahoma to be part of the event. “It’s probably going to be the best lineup of dealers we’ve had, with the best quality of relics,” said Ellis. Alan Wandling, a collector from St. Louis, Mo., will return to the show for the second year with the officer’s sword that belonged to Col. W.P. Rogers, a Confederate hero killed in the Battle of Corinth and the namesake of the local SCV camp. The 48th Tenn. Regiment of reenactors will be on hand with a demonstration of camp life in an effort to recruit more
troops for their unit. Like last year, Lost Cause: A Confederate String Band — a group of local period musicians — will play their brand of homespun Confederate songs near the entrance to the Convention Center. Show and sale organizers are expecting the biggest turnout ever for this weekend’s event. “We’ve been getting phone calls from all over, from Birmingham and Huntsville and all over Mississippi, from people enquiring about the show,” said Ellis. “A lot of people are

CT-A looking for adults to audition for serious role BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Corinth Theatre-Arts is looking for adult actors to join an upcoming production with an especially serious subject. Auditions for “Whose Life is it Anyway?” continue tonight starting at 6 p.m. at the Crossroads Playhouse. Penned by British playwright Brian Clark,
“Whose Life is it Anyway?” tells the story of Ken Harrison, a successful sculptor who was rendered quadriplegic in a car accident and wishes to die. From the setting of Ken’s hospital room, the play grapples with both sides of the controversy surrounding euthanasia — and how much control a government should have over its
citizens’ lives. CT-A Artistic Director Cristina Skinner is looking for 14 actors, roughly half male and half female, ages 18 and over, to bring the play to life. “We’re looking for adults who are interested in talking about responsibility,” Skinner said. The auditions will include a cold reading,
meaning that actors do not need to memorize lines to prepare. As the play is set in 1960s England, actors should bring their best British accents. Roles up for grabs include nurses, doctors, a lawyer and the quadriplegic character at the center of the play. Technical Director David Maxedon emphasized
that anyone interested in auditioning shouldn’t be intimidated about not knowing much about this particular play. “It’s well written, easily followed and deals with the question we will all have to answer someday,” Maxedon said. “All over 18 and encouraged to come and audition.” “Whose Life is it Any-
way?” is a CT-A Second Stage production and is not recommended for children. It will contain mild language and mild adult content. The play takes the stage on April 12-14. (For more information call the Crossroads Playhouse at 287-2995 or visit www.corinththeatrearts.com.)
Leaders promote goals through Leadership programs BY LINDA BREAZEALE MSU Ag Communications
MISSISSIPPI STATE — Some people never stop looking for opportunities to advance their goals, especially those recruited for leadership classes. Ryan Akers and Chance McDavid are two representatives of the Mississippi State University Extension Service who are taking part in the Leadership Mississippi program. Lynn Darling, director of the MSU Early Childhood Institute, is also in the 2013 class. After one meeting, they have set their sights on expanding their professional agendas across the state. Akers, assistant Extension professor of community preparation and disaster management, described the program as
an opportunity for him to learn how communities across the state are preparing for potential disasters. “After just one meeting, I’ve talked to another participant, Sandra Hodge, who is director of the Mississippi Red Cross,” he said. “This gave me the opportunity to introduce her to some of my programs, and hopefully set the stage for working together in the future.” McDavid, senior Extension associate and regional broadband coordinator based in Raymond, said he hopes to enhance his professional network with other community and business leaders across the state. In his current job, McDavid partners MSU’s Extension Center for Technology Outreach
and the Office of the Governor to help communities improve their access to and use of broadband services. “With more than 900 Leadership Mississippi alumni, this group is a great way for me to build relationships to impact our state by strategic service projects and initiatives to improve the quality of life for the state’s residents,” McDavid said. “Helping improve access to and adoption of broadband connections can generate a number of positive impacts in communities, such as education and economic development.” With more than 30 graduating classes since 1974, Leadership Mississippi is the second oldest statewide leadership program in the nation.

Teen dating violence shows warning signs of danger BY KAITLYN BYRNE MSU Office of Ag Communications
MISSISSIPPI STATE — Teen dating violence occurs more often than most people realize, but there are usually warning signs. Cassandra Kirkland, family life specialist with Mississippi State University’s Extension Service, said one out of every three teenagers has experienced some form of abuse in a dating relationship. “Abuse of any kind, including emotional, physical and sexual abuse, is absolutely unacceptable and nonnegotiable,” she said. “It is important for individuals to remove themselves from abusive situations and relationships.” Kirkland said friends and family members often overlook the warning signs of potential abuse. Targets of abuse often exhibit a loss of friends, a drop in grades, a lack of interest in extracurricular activities and unexplained bruises and scars. “Dating violence is one
of the most significant causes of depression in teens,” she said. “Perpetrators of domestic violence tend to isolate their significant other from family and friends.” She said the abusive partner may call the target multiple times throughout the day and night, and it is likely that the abuser comes from an abusive family. Violent behavior in relationships tends to increase, and the first indication of any of the warning signs of abuse should be used as evidence to leave the relationship, Kirkland said. Kirkland said violent outbursts are often followed by a “honeymoon period,” during which the abuser will try to make amends. Ultimately, though, the tension will build again and result in another abusive outburst. “Individuals may need both emotional and physical support to get out of an abusive situation,” Kirkland said. “They can find support from friends,
family members and domestic violence shelters. Also, they should not believe the myth that things will get better in an abusive relationship; oftentimes, the abuse escalates.” She said she advises teens to establish clear boundaries in romantic relationships. They should to talk to friends, family members and trusted adults about questionable behaviors they observe in potential relationship partners, such as attempts to control the relationship and isolate the target from friends. Mills said most communities have resources for victims of dating violence, and she encourages victims to reach out to someone they trust for help.

is an annual program of the Mississippi Economic Council conducted by the M.B. Swayze Educational Foundation. Darling said she plans to develop relationships with business and community leaders to increase support of early childhood education. She said this is an educational, economic and social issue, and all communities benefit when young children are enrolled in highquality programs. “Extensive research in early childhood education demonstrates the critical role early learning experiences play in the lives of individuals. Young children who attend high-quality, earlycare and education centers are more prepared for school and more likely
to graduate on time, pursue higher education and have higher earning over their lifetimes,” Darling said. “They are also less likely to repeat a grade or drop out, less likely to become teen parents and less likely to be incarcerated or have substance abuse problems.” Akers said each participant will be exploring his or her individual concerns or issues. “While there are other content areas in Leadership Mississippi, the program will give me a platform to develop and sustain community resilience in a disaster and work with people across the state who deal with emergency management initiatives,” Akers said. Akers said the first meeting addressed the

to detail which always caught his eye. “He paid attention to details like no other,” said Kemp, who has officiated at many funerals during his career. “He was a very thoughtful and attentive funeral director. Everything was first class.” Kemp grew up with Bill and the two have always remained friends. “I never met a funeral director as good as Bill,” added the minister. “He was quite a fellow in so many ways.” McPeters partner and funeral director Harold Jones of Memorial Funeral Home in Corinth said Bill needs to be remembered for his ability to mentor others. “He was always a mentor, someone who would mentor young men and women entering the profession,” noted Jones. “He was the greatest mentor that ever was. He had a special gift.” Bill was also good at his job, noted Jones. “Every funeral had to be a celebration of life -- each and every one had to be special in its own way,” added the funeral director. “I don’t know anyone who had more dignity toward grieving families.” Lifelong friend Johnny Ross said Bill will be greatly missed. “He was a very unique person,” said Ross, municipal court judge for both Corinth and Farmington and a former chancery court judge. “He was a very
Bill McPeters interesting and fun person to be around.” Like Jones, Ross recalled Bill’s dignity toward others. “He served many, many families with dignity,” added Ross. “He will be missed by all people.” Close friend Neal Biggers called Bill “generous, kind and compassionate ... with flamboyant personality traits.” “He was such an interesting person,” added Biggers, a U.S. district judge in Oxford. “That’s what attracted people to him.” “Where ever he went, he made people smile,” said Biggers.

MDOT launches bicycle benefits poster contest The Mississippi Department of Transportation is partnering with Saris Cycling Group, a manufacturer of bicycle racks and cycling training products, to launch a poster contest to get fifth graders to think about the benefits of riding a bicycle. The contest calls for 5th grade students to create a poster around the theme “Bicycling makes life better.” The purpose of the contest is to promote youth
riding bicycles as a way to lead a healthy lifestyle. The contest entry deadline is April 1. One winner will be selected from each state to receive a bike, bike light, and helmet. One National winner will win a trip to the 2014 National Bike Summit in Washington, DC and their school will receive a bicycle rack that provides space to park twenty bikes and a bike/walk tracking system called The Hub.
“Mississippi is making a concerted effort to improve the health and wellness of its young citizens,” said Mississippi Transportation Commission. “This contest is a great way to encourage youngsters to ride bicycles and engage in physical activity particularly as an alternative means of transportation to and from school.” “The contest provides a fun activity to get students excited about learning and
provides teachers a creative way to introduce healthy living concepts,” said SCG Advocacy Coordinator Heather Fortune. “This is a great way to encourage fifth graders to simply think about the places a bike can take them, for fun or for transportation.” “With spring right around the corner, this is a great opportunity to get our students thinking about bicycling,” said Lindsey Netherland, MDOT Bicycle/
Pedestrian Coordinator. “Bicycling is a great way for students to enjoy exercising while having fun at the same time.” The deadline for the poster contest is April 1.

Producers dictate MSU’s agriculture annual priorities BY LINDA BREAZEALE MSU Ag Communications
VERONA — When agricultural producers speak, Mississippi State University listens. About 300 commodity producers, crop consultants and MSU representatives met on Feb. 21 at the North Mississippi Research and Extension Center in Verona for the annual Producer Advisory Council meeting. The meeting has been held for more than half a century to give farmers the opportunity to express agricultural needs to their land-grant institution. “Mississippi State exists to help farmers and landowners throughout the state,” said George Hopper, director of the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station and MSU’s Forest and Wildlife Research Center. “This is your opportunity to tell us how we can help you produce your crops.” Hopper, who is also dean of MSU’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and College of Forest
Resources, asked farmers to help recruit students to pursue degrees in agriculture-related fields. “A role of MSU is to produce future agriculture leaders. We need you to encourage the next generation to follow in your footsteps,” Hopper said. “When they come to you and express an interest in agriculture, don’t try to talk them out of it. Send them to us. We will prepare them for career success.” Steve Martin, newly appointed head of the North Mississippi Research and Extension Center, said the annual meeting provides MSU with the opportunity to share progress since last year’s meeting. “This meeting gives our researchers and Extension agents the opportunity to respond to growers’ concerns, both during the meeting and in the year to come,” he said. “We also have the opportunity to report accomplishments. It’s a two-way street.” Mike Sullivan, state farm program director for the Farm Service Agency,

and U.S. Congressman Alan Nunnelee spoke to the producers. Nunnelee provided an overview of legislative agricultural concerns, including the new Farm Bill, Environmental Protection Agency issues, the estate tax, minimum wage and sequestration. Following their comments, they stayed to listen to each commodity group’s report. The following commodity meeting presenters delivered reports: Aquaculture – Mark Koehn of Chickasaw County requested research to decrease losses caused by Aeromonos, a new disease impacting catfish. The group also requested research on protein amounts in feed based on fish sizes. Beef – Jacob Megehee of Noxubee County expressed the need for continuing forage research, especially seeking plants with strong root systems that will hold up to cattle traffic pressure. Producers also want MSU’s help in finding a consistent winter perennial to help producers cut down on feed
costs. The group requested area educational programs about preconditioning, vaccination programs and handling issues. They expressed the need for more food animal veterinarians. Cotton – Joe Camp of Itawamba County requested more research on resistant weed management and aggressive monitoring of resistant and nonresistant plant bugs. The group also expressed the need for a cotton breeder to work on varieties for the Hill section of the state. Dairy – Patrick Gallop of Monroe County reported the need for MSU’s help to stabilize the industry and make it sustainable. Equine – Eddie Turner of Monroe County requested more efforts to address the College of Veterinary Medicine’s costs and services for horse owners. He said the group is pleased the university is about to hire an equine specialist and requested assistance in promoting equine events and recruiting the next generation for horse ownership and activities.

Additionally, he requested that the university hire a regional specialist for northeast Mississippi and use the pecan grove at the research station near Brooksville for educational programs. Goats and sheep – Jimmy Howell of Calhoun County said producers need help establishing a contact system. Special research needs include parasite control and forage issues related to browsing animals. He also requested an agricultural engineer to design a “goatproof hay ring” to reduce wasted feed.

Mississippi keeps some control of local issues JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers get hopping mad when Washington tries to tell the state what it can or can’t do. But, they’ve been plenty willing this session to make the state government exert similar Emily control over local government. Wagster The House passed a bill that Pettus says cities and counties can’t ban junk food or limit the size Capitol Dome of soft drinks. If the bill becomes law, it would mean, for example, that the tiny Delta town of Alligator couldn’t put a local regulation on the sale of Kool-Aid pickles in convenience stores or impose the same kind of no-big-sodas rule that Mayor Michael Bloomberg set in New York City. The House and Senate each passed its own bill to pre-empt cities and counties from setting a local minimum wage, though there’s been little effort to do so. Some lawmakers say local governments should be able to make these decisions if they want, but supporters of the ban — who are more vocal — say local rules would impose unfair burdens on businesses and create a confusing patchwork for developers trying to lure industries to the state. Lawmakers maintain tight control over local option sales taxes, rejecting for the umpteenth year a proposal to let cities set a 1 percent sales tax. This year’s plan would’ve required a local election, with at least 60 percent of voters approving the tax before it could be imposed. It also said that the tax would be time-limited and for specific projects: Once a park is built or a water system is repaired, the tax would disappear. Because legislators said “no,” cities still need to come to the Capitol, individually, and ask in their nicest voices if they can — pretty please with sugar on top — set some sort of local tax. This usually takes the form of a tourism tax, an extra penny per dollar for hotel nights or restaurant meals. Lawmakers have shown a willingness to allow tourism taxes on a case-by-case basis, but usually with the proviso that the tax expires after a certain number of years. Two House bills that died would’ve made Mississippi thumb its nose at the federal government. One would’ve created a state commission to try to nullify some federal laws. Another would’ve prohibited the state from enforcing any federal limits on guns. Rep. Ed Blackmon, D-Canton, said federal law takes precedent over conflicting state laws. “From a constitutional standpoint, that’s been resolved a long time ago,” Blackmon said. During debate on food labeling, Rep. Gregory Holloway said local governments shouldn’t be allowed to randomly regulate things like the size of soft drinks. “If you want to go eat 20 Big Macs, you can eat 20 Big Macs,” said Holloway, D-Hazlehurst. Democratic Rep. Omeria Scott, who’s running for mayor in her hometown of Laurel, opposed the bill. “Given that Mississippi is the fattest and most unhealthy state in the USA, I don’t think we should take a tool away from them if they should choose to use it,” she said. Holloway told The Associated Press this past week that he believes businesses could’ve been harmed if local governments were allowed to set food regulations. No toy in a kids’ fast-food meal in, say, Jackson? Customers would drive to Ridgeland to get the food and toy, and the Jackson business would lose money. “I do think the Legislature should reserve or retain some authority or decisions over political subdivisions,” Holloway said. “Political subdivisions,” in legislative speak, means cities or counties. “We don’t want political subdivisions doing different things,” Holloway said. It’s a sentiment he shares with many, if not most, of his Capitol colleagues.

For Obama, politics trumps governing BY MICHAEL BARONE Do we have a president or a perpetual candidate? It’s not an entirely unfair question. Even as Barack Obama was warning of the dreadful consequences of the budget sequester looming on March 1, he spent days away from Washington, apparently out of touch with Democratic as well as Republican congressional leaders. In the meantime, Obama fans were lobbing verbal grenades at none other than The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward. His offense: He’s continuing to make it clear, as he did in his book “The Price of Politics,” that it was Obama’s then-chief of staff and now Treasury Secretary Jack Lew who first proposed the dreaded sequester. This inconvenient fact threatens to interfere with the ready-for-teleprompter narrative that Republicans want to cut aid to preschoolers to save tax breaks for corporate jets. It appears that Obama prefers delivering such messages to crowds of adoring supporters over actually governing. His theory seemed to be that if he kicked his job approval rating up a few points, Republicans would
agree to the revenue increases he is promoting, just as they agreed to a tax rate increase in the “fiscal cliff” showdown. But his job rating continues to hover just above 50 percent. That’s not enough to compel cooperation. In addition, his campaign rhetoric undercuts his credibility with politicians of the opposite party and perhaps of his own. It’s not that these people resent being criticized. They understand that that is part of the game. But the substance of the criticism suggests the president is not serious about public policy. Take that old chestnut about corporate jets. The actual issue here is about depreciation — over how many years can a purchaser deduct the cost of a corporate jet? Do you have to spread out the deduction over seven years? Or can you take it all in five? No doubt, serious arguments can be made for one view or the other. As they can for the depreciation schedules of hundreds or thousands of products. Lawyers and lobbyists can make a living doing this. But the bottom line is that the amount of revenue at stake is small, pathetically small next to trillion-dollar
federal budget deficits. Obama keeps talking about corporate jets because it tests well in polls. And that’s the reason, I think, he keeps talking about universal preschool, not just for disadvantaged children. Polls show that large majorities of Americans would be willing to have more government money spent for preschool for disadvantaged children. The impulse to help adorable but needy little kids is very strong. Unfortunately, the evidence that preschool programs do any permanent good for such children is exceedingly weak. Preschool advocates point to a 1960s program in Ypsilanti, Mich., and a 1970s North Carolina program called Abecedarian. Research showed those programs produced lasting gains in learning. But no one has been able to replicate the success of these very small programs staffed by unusually dedicated people. Mass programs like Head Start don’t work as well. Kids in such programs seem to make no perceptible lasting gains. That’s too bad, because disadvantaged kids need help. So why is Obama emphasizing universal preschool,
which would cost a lot more than preschool for the disadvantaged? The reason, I suspect, is that you would have to hire lots more credentialed teachers, which means you would get lots more teachers union members. Teachers union leaders would love to see more dues money coming in, and to channel more to the Democratic Party. To my suspicious eye, the preschool proposal doesn’t make much sense as policy, but it makes a lot of sense as politics. Demagoguery about preschool and corporate jets is not going to convince Republicans that Obama can be a reliable negotiating partner. Instead, it reinforces the evidence that he never will be. We need serious changes in public policy, as Obama’s Simpson-Bowles Commission recommended. But this president doesn’t seem much interested in that kind of governing.

Creating alarm is how budget politics work Back in my teaching days, one of the things I liked to ask the class to consider was this: Imagine a government agency with only two tasks: (1) building statues of Benedict Arnold and (2) providing life-saving medications to children. If this agency’s budget were cut, what would it do? The answer, of course, is that it would cut back on the medications for children. Why? Because that would be what was most likely to get the budget cuts restored. If they cut back on building statues of Benedict Arnold, people might ask why they were building statues of Benedict Arnold in the first place. The example was deliberately extreme as an illustration. But, in the real world, the same general pattern can be seen in responses to budget cuts. At the local level, the first response to budget cuts is often to cut the police department and the fire department. There may be all sorts of wasteful boondoggles that could have been cut instead, but that would not produce the public alarm that reducing police and fire protection can

produce. And public alarm is what can get budget cuts restored. The Obama administraThomas tion is followSowell ing the same pattern. The Columnist Department of Homeland Security, for example, released thousands of illegal aliens from prisons to save money — and create alarm. The Federal Aviation Administration says it is planning to cut back on the number of air traffic controllers, which would, at a minimum, create delays for airline passengers, in addition to fears for safety that can create more public alarm. Republicans in the House of Representatives have offered to pass legislation giving President Obama the authority to pick and choose what gets cut -- anywhere in the trillions of dollars of federal spending -- rather than being hemmed in by the arbitrary provisions of the sequester. This would minimize the damage done by budget cuts concentrated in limited
areas, such as the Defense Department. But it serves Obama’s interest to maximize the damage and the public alarm, which he can direct against Republicans. The sequester creates more visible damage and more public alarm than if the president were given the authority to trim a little here and a little there in the vast trillions of dollars spent by the government, to make a relatively small “cut” that still leaves total spending higher than last year. Obviously Obama wants public alarm, which he can use to help defeat the Republicans in the 2014 elections, so that Democrats can take back control of the House of Representatives. When Obama was offered the authority to make the spending cuts wherever he chooses, anywhere in the government’s multi-trillion dollar budget, it was the only power that this power-grabbing president has rejected. Why? Because with this new power would go responsibility for the consequences of his choices. And responsibility for consequences is precisely what both the Obama administration and the Sen-

ate Democrats have been avoiding for years, by refusing to pass a federal budget, as required by the Constitution of the United States. Democrats prefer to get the political benefits from handing out goodies, while Republicans can be blamed for not subsequently raising enough taxes to pay for the Democrats’ spending spree. If Obama succeeds in maneuvering the Republicans into positions that cause them to lose control of the House of Representatives in the 2014 elections, then as a president who never has to face the voters again, he would be in an ideal position to create a big spending liberals’ heaven. But it will be far from heaven for the economy, with Obama-appointed bureaucrats burying businesses in red tape and jobkilling costs, while expanding the size and arbitrary powers of government. We could become the world’s largest banana republic. (Daily Corinthian columnist Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

Pentagon to furlough teachers, commissary WASHINGTON — The Pentagon will furlough about 15,000 military school teachers and staff around the world because of the automatic budget cuts that took effect last Friday, but spokesman George Little said Monday the department will manage the process so the schools don’t lose their accreditation. Little said the military will also close all of the commissaries on bases around the world for one extra day each week. They are currently open six days a week. The furloughs will occur at schools on military bases around the world that serve the children of military personnel posted there. The teachers and staff are Defense Department employees. Because the length of the school day can’t legally be shortened, teachers and staff will likely have to take one unpaid day a week off to meet the furlough requirements. The Pentagon said that each school may handle the staff shortfall differently, perhaps having classes double up or using administrators or other teachers to stand in for absent coworkers. “We’re going to do everything we can to manage the furlough process in a manner that enables military children to receive an accredited school year for this academic year,” Little told reporters. He added that summer school also will continue to be offered.
Obama nominates 3 to Cabinet-level posts WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama signaled his willingness to tackle climate change with his pick of Gina McCarthy to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, one of three major appointments he announced Monday. A 25-year veteran of environmental policy and politics, McCarthy has worked for Republicans and Democrats, including Obama’s presidential rival, Mitt Romney, who tapped her to help draft state plans for curbing the pollution linked to global warming. Along with McCarthy, Obama nominated MIT nuclear physicist Ernie Moniz to lead the Energy Department and Wal-Mart’s Sylvia Mathews Burwell to head
the budget office. McCarthy, 58, a Boston native, has led the EPA’s air pollution division since 2009, ushering in a host of new rules targeting air pollution from power plants, automobiles, and oil and gas production.
Scientists say baby with HIV looks cured WASHINGTON — A baby born with the virus that causes AIDS appears to have been cured, scientists announced Sunday, describing the case of a child from Mississippi who’s now 2 1/2 and has been off medication for about a year with no signs of infection. There’s no guarantee the child will remain healthy, although sophisticated testing uncovered just traces of the virus’ genetic material still lingering. If so, it would mark only the world’s second reported cure. Specialists say Sunday’s announcement, at a major AIDS meeting in Atlanta, offers promising clues for efforts to eliminate HIV infection in children, especially in AIDSplagued African countries where too many babies are born with the virus. “You could call this about as close to a cure, if not a cure, that we’ve seen,” Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, who is familiar with the findings, told The Associated Press. A doctor gave this baby faster and stronger treatment than is usual, starting a three-drug infusion within 30 hours of birth. That was before tests confirmed the infant was infected and not just at risk from a mother whose HIV wasn’t diagnosed until she was in labor. “I just felt like this baby was at higherthan-normal risk, and deserved our best shot,” Dr. Hannah Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at the University of Mississippi, said in an interview. That fast action apparently knocked out HIV in the baby’s blood before it could form hideouts in the body. Those so-called reservoirs of dormant cells usually rapidly reinfect anyone who stops medication, said Dr. Deborah Persaud of Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. She led the investigation that deemed the child “functionally cured,” meaning in long-term remission even if all traces of the
virus haven’t been completely eradicated.
Forbes: Carlos Slim world’s richest man NEW YORK — Mexico’s Carlos Slim remains the world’s richest man for the fourth year in a row, according to Forbes, while Warren Buffett dropped out of the top three for the first time since 2000. And Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg saw his ranking drop 31 spots as his net worth declined by $4.2 billion. A record 1,426 people around the world made Forbes magazine’s latest annual tally of billionaires, up 16 percent from last year. Their average net worth was $3.8 billion, rising 3 percent from 2012. The total net worth for the list’s billionaires was $5.4 trillion compared with $4.6 trillion a year ago. The U.S. continued to house the most billionaires in the world, with 442 of them. It was followed by the Asia-Pacific region, with Europe rounding out the top three. There were 210 new faces on the list, with Forbes saying many were helped by rebounding equity markets and strong consumer brands.
Jury sees sick images at trial NEW YORK — Prosecutors finished presenting evidence to a jury hearing the cannibalism conspiracy case against a New York police officer Monday after showing jurors a video of a screaming woman, made to appear as if cooking over an open flame, and other disturbing images from websites devoted to torturing and eating women. The government rested a week after it began trying to prove that Officer Gilberto Valle tried to conspire with others on the Internet to kidnap, kill and cannibalize six women, including friends and his wife. As soon as the government finished, defense lawyers asked the judge to acquit their client, saying prosecutors failed to present sufficient evidence to let a jury decide whether Valle planned to carry out a crime. A judge reserved decision.

Regulators to consider Kemper rate increase JACKSON — Utility regulators will be asked again Tuesday to approve a rate increase to repay money Mississippi Power Co. has borrowed to build a coal-fired power plant in Kemper County. The unit of Atlantabased Southern Co. wants a total rate increase of 21.6 percent, or $171.6 million. For an average residential customer, that’s projected to work out to about $31 a month, on top of what they’re currently paying, according to a company filing. Because Mississippi Power has proposed to lower the amount that it collects for fuel and for other rates, the net effect would be an 18 percent increase. Higher bills would start in April under the company’s plan. The Public Utilities Staff, which examines filings, has largely recommended that commissioners concur. It’s the second time that the Mississippi Public Service Commission will be asked to approve a plan to start paying for the $2.88 billion plant, which Mississippi Power calls Plant Ratcliffe. The PSC rejected the first request, leading to a lawsuit that was settled with commissioners, who could vote on the request Tuesday, but have 10 more days to decide. The settlement said that Mississippi Power can only include $2.4 billion of the plant’s cost, plus the projected $377 million costs of the adjoining lignite mine and pipelines, in a traditional rate structure. Mississippi Power will earn a rate of return — a measure of profit — on the amount included in rates. The utility, which serves 187,000 customers in 23 counties, plans to sell up to $1 billion in bonds to pay for costs incurred above $2.4 billion on the plant, collecting from customers to pay principal and interest, but not for any profit. That arrangement was blessed in a law signed last month by Gov. Phil Bryant. Mississippi Power said the bonding will save customers $1 billion over the decades-long life of the plant. The company said it expected to sell $700

Lawmaker: gas tax increase needed JACKSON — A top lawmaker says Mississippi needs to increase its gasoline tax to pay for highway and bridge maintenance, but he concedes there’s little chance of it happening this year. House Transportation Committee Chairman Robert Johnson said Monday that 40 percent of Mississippi’s major roads and 28 percent of its highways are in poor or mediocre condition. He also says 25 percent of bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. Mississippi’s tax on gasoline and diesel fuel has been 18.8 cents per gallon since 1987. Johnson, D-Natchez, filed a bill this year to increase the fuel tax. It died last week in the House Ways and Means Committee, and Johnson said there’s little chance it’ll be revived. Still, he said he’s trying to keep conversation about the subject alive, in hopes that industry groups and average citizens will tell lawmakers that safe roads and bridges are important to the state’s economic future. Under President Dwight D. Eisenhower more than 50 years ago, the U.S. was a world leader in developing an interstate highway system, Johnson said. “Now, we’re at a point where we won’t do anything. I just don’t understand it,” he said Monday during a forum sponsored by Mississippi State University’s Stennis Institute of Government and the Capitol press corps. In 1987, the Mississippi Legislature approved an extensive program to build four-lane highways, with construction funded by a fuel tax increase. The tax increase was supposed to disappear once the program was completed, but lawmakers in 1994 voted to make the tax openended to pay for more highway construction. Johnson said Mississippi needs to spend about $385 million more a year for road maintenance. Republican Dick Hall,
the central district state transportation commissioner, has been making speeches the past several months to push for a gasoline tax increase. He said the 1987 highway program provided a boost to the state’s economy.
Lawyer wants delay in state gun case GULFPORT — Court records say an attorney wants to delay the trial in a Mississippi gun case. George Lewis Blackledge III is charged with possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of controlled substances. A complaint in U.S. District Court in Gulfport says police found illegal drugs and 17 guns at Blackledge’s home in Biloxi on Jan. 23. Blackledge’s lawyer says in court records that he’s waiting for the government to turn over evidence and needs time to review it. The trail is set for April 1. The complaint also says authorities found a note in which Blackledge says he was wrongly accused of inappropriate conduct with a girl. The complaint says the note discussed killing police officers if they tried to arrest him.
Slain candidate beaten, burned JACKSON — The body of a slain Mississippi mayoral candidate was beaten and burned, a family member said Monday. Marco McMillian’s godfather, Carter Womack, said McMillian’s family received the information from the Coahoma County coroner. Coroner Scotty Meredith declined to comment Monday, and a spokesman for the Coahoma County Sheriff’s Department had no immediate comment. But a person with direct knowledge of the investigation confirmed to The Associated Press that McMillian had some bruises and there were burns on at least one area of his body. The person wasn’t authorized to publicly comment and spoke on condition of anonymity. The cause of death has not been released. An autopsy was performed, but toxicology tests are pending, and Please see STATE | 6

Does the Bible Recommend Drinking Alcoholic Beverages? Does the book of Proverbs recommend “strong drink” for those who are depressed Please explain Proverbs 31:6-7. “Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more” (Prov. 31:6-7) What does this passage mean? Does it encourage drinking alcoholic beverages to relieve depression? When studying any passage, we must consider an important rule of interpretation. We must read passages with difficulties, or those employing figurative language (e.g., in the case of biblical poetry), with extra care. These passages will not give us a different moral perspective from that which we find elsewhere in scripture. A difficult text must not be made to contradict clear, easy-to-understand passages. Remember that the biblical emphasis on alcohol is this: > “Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise (Prov. 20:1) > Paul warns that drunkards will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:10; Galatians 5:19-21). Depression and poverty are no license to sin. What does this puzzling passage mean, then? Let us look at the context. The heading states, “The words of King Lemeul. An oracle that his mother taught him.” What did the king’s mother teach him about alcohol? Did she suggest that kings shouldn’t drink (vs. 4-5) but for everyone else it is acceptable (vs. 6-7)? Did she approve of the “Why lie-It’s for beer” slogan (as one street corner, cardboard sign read)? Was she offering a program for the down and out? Let’s take a careful look at this motherly advice. “It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink, lest they drink and forget what has been decreed and pervert the rights of the afflicted” (vs. 4-5). The king’s mother advised him to stay away from alcohol. It impairs judgement. It leads to improper decisions. This would not only affect Lemuel as a king, but it would also adversely affect the people he governed. By way of contrast, there are people who “drink to forget”. “Let them do it”, she says, “but as for you, manage the stress of your position to rule with equitable justice.” Duane Garrett, Professor of Old Testament at the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, summarizes the context. The queen-mother does not recommend a free beer program for the poor or justify its use as an opiate for the masses; her point is simply that the king must avoid drunkenness in order to reign properly. The comparison to the suffering poor and to their use of alcohol is meant to awaken Lemuel to the duties that go with his class status rather than to describe some kind of permissible drunkenness. (“Proverbs,” The New American Commentary, Vol. 14. Broadman: Nashville, p. 246). What about the Christian? If a king needs clear thinking and sound integrity, serving the civil interests of people, does not the Christian need sober thinking and virtuous influence in serving the spiritual interests of people (cf Matthew 5:13-16; 28-19; Ephesians 5:18; 1 Peter 2:11-12)?

where it continues to maintain its standard of excellence. In 1992, the business was sold; however, after retiring for a few years in Florida, McPeters and his wife, Judy, who joined McPeters Funeral Directors in 1979, returned to Corinth to manage the business, which continues to carry the family name. By his side in the business, Judy has described her husband as a caring, generous man who always was “the same with everybody,” stating he always did little things for people, “usually hiding his kindness” even from her. His generosity, many say, stemmed from the fact that he always embraced other’s sadness as well as their needs. Daughter Kayo also states that these acts of kindness define her father. Mr. McPeters was a member of First United Methodist Church and attended Covenant Presbyterian Church. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of McPeters Funeral Home on February 2, 2005, he was recognized by the Mississippi Legislature for “Outstanding Service by a Funeral Director,” honoring his professionalism and high standard for excellence. Described as a “colorful and unique undertaker,” the declaration praised him as “the cornerstone of compassion and service and the bedrock of generational success in Corinth and surrounding areas.” In addition to his profession, he served as a member of the Ambulance Service and the Magnolia Hospital Board. In addition, due to his love for animals, he was cofounder of the Alcorn County Humane Society and helped establish the Corinth Horse Show. Mr. McPeters is survived by his wife Judy; his daughter, Kayo McPeters; son, Mark Matthews and wife Carley; daughter Marcy Matthews Hinton and husband Tom; grandchildren, Caitlin McPeters Voyles, Thomas Hinton, and Will Matthews. He is preceded in death by his mother, Ione McPeters; father, James R. McPeters, Sr.; and sister, Sara Nette Donachy. Officiating the service will be Reverend Dennis Smith, Dr. Don Elliott, Dr. Prentiss Gordan and Reverend Ralph Culp. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Corinth Animal Shelter or the charity of one’s choice. Condolences can be made at www.mcpetersfuneraldirectors.com

authorities say it could take two weeks to get those results. Womack said the coroner told family members that someone dragged McMillian’s body under a fence and left it near a Mississippi River levee last week. McMillian, 34, was a candidate for mayor of Clarksdale in the Mississippi Delta. “We feel that this was not a random act of violence based on the condition of the body when it was found,” said a statement released by his campaign. The slaying received significant attention, in part, because McMillian’s campaign said he was the first openly gay, viable candidate for public office in Mississippi. Sheriff’s deputies last week charged 22-year-old Lawrence Reed with murder in the case. An investigation began Feb. 26 after Mc-
Millian’s SUV slammed head-on into another vehicle on U.S. Highway 49 near the Coahoma and Tallahatchie county lines.
Man to plead guilty for immigrant smuggling JACKSON, Miss. — Federal court records say a man intends to plead guilty in a case in Mississippi in which he’s charged with transporting illegal immigrants. A criminal complaint in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Miss., says Armando Alvarado was taking four illegal Mexican immigrants from Texas to Georgia when he was pulled over in Mississippi on Aug. 23. The complaint said Alvarado was stopped on Interstate 20 near Brandon, Miss. Alvarado previously pleaded not guilty in the case. A court filing Monday said he intends to change his plea. The complaint also said Alvarado has a history of smuggling illegal immigrants.

Tax bills for rich families approach 30-year high BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The poor rich. With Washington gridlocked again over whether to raise their taxes, it turns out wealthy families already are paying some of their biggest federal tax bills in decades even as the rest of the population continues to pay at historically low rates. President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress say the wealthy must pay their fair share if the federal government is ever going to fix its finances and reduce the budget deficit to a manageable level. A new analysis, however, shows that average tax bills for high-income families rarely have been higher since the Congressional Budget Office began tracking the data in 1979. Middle- and lowincome families aren’t paying as much as they used to. For 2013, families with incomes in the top 20 percent of the nation will pay an average of 27.2 percent of their income in federal taxes, according to projections by the Tax Policy Center, a research organization based in Washington. The top 1 percent
of households, those with incomes averaging $1.4 million, will pay an average of 35.5 percent. Those tax rates, which include income, payroll, corporate and estate taxes, are among the highest since 1979. The average family in the bottom 20 percent of households won’t pay any federal taxes. Instead, many families in this group will get payments from the federal government by claiming more in credits than they owe in taxes, including payroll taxes. That will give them a negative tax rate. “My sense is that highincome people feel abused by being targeted always for more taxes,” Roberton Williams, a fellow at the Tax Policy Center, said. “You can understand why they feel that way.” Last week, Senate Democrats were unable to advance their proposal to raise taxes on some wealthy families for the second time this year as part of a package to avoid automatic spending cuts. The bill failed Thursday when Republicans blocked it. A competing Republican bill that included no tax increases also failed, and the automatic spending cuts began taking effect Friday.
“I am prepared to do hard things and to push my Democratic friends to do hard things.” Barack Obama President The issue, however, isn’t going away. Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress insist that any future deal to reduce government borrowing must include a mix of spending cuts and more tax revenue. “I am prepared to do hard things and to push my Democratic friends to do hard things,” Obama said Friday. “But what I can’t do is ask middleclass families, ask seniors, ask students to bear the entire burden of deficit reduction when we know we’ve got a bunch of tax loopholes that are benefiting the well-off and the well-connected, aren’t contributing to growth, aren’t contributing to our economy. It’s not fair. It’s not right.” On Sunday, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Republicans are committed to reducing the budget deficit without raising taxes again. In a separate broadcast interview, White House economic adviser Gene
Sperling called that position unreasonable. The Democrats’ sequester bill included the “Buffett Rule,” named after billionaire investor Warren Buffett. It gradually would phase in a requirement that people making more than $1 million a year pay at least 30 percent of their income in federal taxes. The rule targets millionaires who make most of their money from investments — capital gains and qualified dividends, which have a top tax rate of 20 percent. “It’s fairness,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. “We’re not raising taxes with the Buffett rule as much as we are correcting an inequity in terms of, one guy can be working at one end of the hall and because he’s working with hedge funds, he gets taxed at 20 percent. Another guy at the other end of the hall is on a salary at an insurance company and he has to pay (39.6 percent). That’s just not fair.”
On average, households making more than $1 million this year will pay 37.2 percent of their income in federal taxes, according to the Tax Policy Center. But there are exceptions. For example, the Internal Revenue Service tracks tax returns for the 400 highest-paid filers each year. Those taxpayers made an average of $202 million in 2009, the latest year available. Their average federal income tax rate: 19.9 percent. That’s still higher than the tax rate paid by most middle-income families, but not by much. The middle 20 percent of U.S. households — those making an average of $46,600 — will pay an average of 13.8 percent of their income in federal taxes for this year, according to the Tax Policy Center. Over the past three decades, the average federal tax rate for this group has been about 16 percent. The Associated Press analyzed two sets of data to compare tax burdens over time. The CBO produces data from 1979 to 2009; the center has overlapping data from 2004 through 2013. Both get tax data from the IRS, but they use slightly different methodologies to calculate fed-
eral tax burdens. Still, their numbers track closely enough to make some general observations. For example, it is clear that for 2013, average tax bills for the wealthy will be among the highest since 1979. It also is clear that federal taxes for middle- and low-income households will stay well below their averages for the same period. Liberals and many Democrats say rich families can afford to pay higher taxes because their incomes have grown much more than incomes for middle- and low-income families. Average after-tax incomes for the top 1 percent of households more than doubled from 1979 to 2009, increasing by 155 percent, according to the CBO. Average incomes for those in the middle increased by just 32 percent during the same period while those at the bottom saw their incomes go up by 45 percent. “You’ve got to think about the context,” said Chuck Marr, director of federal tax policy for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal think tank. “We just had three decades in the United States where we had a tremendous increase in inequality.”
Memphis makes progress in fight against infant mortality BY ADRIAN SAINZ Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Smiling mother Tasha Henderson and her baby gently touch foreheads, a tender moment that almost didn’t have a chance to happen. Six-month-old Trenton is a symbol of Memphis’ success in fighting infant mortality. A decade ago, babies born in the city and surrounding Shelby County were statistically more likely to die in the first year of their lives than any other populous county in the U.S. Nearly 15 of every 1,000 infants were dying before the age of 1 — a worse rate than some developing countries. The Shelby County health department made saving babies its goal, enlisting help from national and community organizations, social workers, faith-based groups, businesses and hospitals. They sought to improve what experts call the “social determinants” of health, including education, income and living conditions. Other keys were good nutrition and stress management for expecting mothers. With the efforts in place, Shelby County’s infant mortality rate dropped by nearly a third en route to its lowest recorded level in 2011. The improvement equates to 74 more babies surviving to their first
birthday. While the national infant mortality rate also fell over that period, it was a much more gradual drop. One key to the Memphis-area efforts has been pinpointing at-risk mothers such as Henderson and giving them intense attention, education and counseling during and after pregnancy. Henderson, a smoker with three older daughters, faced significant obstacles. She had lost her job and was evicted from her apartment. The baby’s father was gone. High blood pressure, breathing trouble and other issues led her to a highrisk pregnancy clinic. She was suicidal and considering an abortion. Enter the Shelby County Health Department, which assigned a counselor to guide Henderson through a stressful pregnancy. The counselor visited Henderson’s apartment each month and urged her to eat healthy foods, attend her doctors’ appointments and take her medications. She gave Henderson her cell phone number and urged her to call any time. “I was very, very stressed out and going through depression,” said the 39-year-old Henderson, who quit smoking during her pregnancy. Her counselor zeroed in on that. “That was her main focus, that I wasn’t

I could talk to her about any issues that I was having and she tried to calm me down and help me be happy with my pregnancy.” Henderson’s mental state improved, and Trenton was born with club feet but otherwise healthy. The counselor visits were provided by the county and partly funded by grants from the federal Healthy Start initiative, which also helps cover prenatal care costs. It’s one of several home visitation programs available in the county. Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital has three home visitation programs, including one that meets with low-income teenage mothers. Another of the hospital’s programs is targeting families in low-income apartment complexes with high dropout, crime and pregnancy rates. The increase in such outreach efforts in Shelby County was aimed at paring an infant mortality rate that stood at 14.9 deaths per 1,000 live

at the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. The result is a broad, multidimensional approach in many cities. Most programs offered by Shelby County and Tennessee come at no cost to the pregnant woman. They are funded by grants, tax dollars and private donations. Under a state program called TENNderCARE, employees call about 40,000 mothers throughout the state each year to talk with them about nutrition, breastfeeding and regular doctor’s visits. A separate campaign targets preventable, sleep-related deaths. Madlock applauds her county’s Centering Pregnancy program, which creates a support group of pregnant women based on their delivery dates. The women attend pre-natal doctor’s visits together and build relationships that lead to honest discussions about their pregnancies. “That becomes a support system,” Madlock said. “It normalizes some of the experiences they may be having.” Le Bonheur uses fetal MRIs and other technology to diagnose and treat babies still in the uterus to reduce premature births and low birth weights, said hospital president Meri Armour.

births in 2003. That rate was higher than French Guiana, Kuwait, Lithuania and other developing nations. Shelby County, which includes Memphis, ranked worst in infant mortality in 2003, according to an Associated Press analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data for large U.S. counties with more than 12,000 births that year. Ranking just below were the counties that include Detroit, Philadelphia and Milwaukee, along with Prince George’s County, Md., in suburban Washington. Now, Shelby County health department figures show that the 2011 infant mortality rate had dropped to 9.6 per 1,000 births — the lowest on record. The other communities have taken similar approaches to Shelby County, and their infant mortality rates have also improved. Statistics for 2011 weren’t available for all counties. “To see it finally move consistently in the right direction and hit a low
that this community has never before seen, is really a testament of what can happen when a community really develops public will to make something happen,” said Yvonne Madlock, director of the Shelby County Health Department. Work remains, though. Memphis still is above the national infant mortality rate, which was 6.05 for every 1,000 live births in 2011, according to the CDC. The national rate was 6.84 in 2003. In Shelby County, the death rate among black babies in their first year was 13 per 1,000 births in 2011. That is down from 21 per 1,000 births eight years earlier, but there still is room for improvement, Madlock says. Entrenched social problems of poverty and unequal access to care remain woven into the problem, both in Memphis and nationally, said Kathleen Buckley, director of the National Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Program. “These are not easy issues to solve. They are part of a larger problem,” Buckley said. Public health officials around the country have been looking beyond medical care to a broad list of factors that can improve infant mortality — including social influences, said Diane Rowley, professor

The dividend trap Dividend investors often set their sights on the highest yields. But therein lies a trap, experts say. A stock’s dividend yield is the amount of the annual dividend divided by the share price; so when the stock’s price falls, its yield rises. Also, dividend yields don’t indicate how expensive a stock is relative to the company’s earnings. The popularity of stocks with the highest dividend yields has caused many of their price-earnings ratios to jump. Consider Duke Energy (DUK), a utility with a 4.4 percent yield. It trades at 22 times its earnings per share over the last 12 months. That’s higher than its 5-year average of 18 times earnings. Not only that, Duke’s P/E ratio
is now above the Standard & Poor’s 500 index’s ratio of 15. At the end of 2009, it was roughly the same as the market’s. This follows a similar pattern for many of the highest-yielding companies. After trading with P/E ratios lower than the market for more than a decade, the highestyielding stocks in the S&P 500 now have a higher P/E ratio, says Chris Petrosino of the quantitative strategies group at Manning & Napier. For stocks with attractive yields and P/E ratios, investors are advised to look outside of the top tier of dividend payers. Within a ranking of the S&P 500 by dividend yield, the stocks ranked 101 through 200 on average are still trading at lower P/E ratios than the S&P 500.
Attractively priced
These three stocks offer dividend yields greater than the 2.2 percent average of the S&P 500, and a price-earnings ratio lower than the 15 carried by the S&P 500. MONDAY’S CLOSE

Find good company in solitude through an active imagination DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are expecting our first child (a boy) later this year. How do I teach my son to enjoy solitude and his own company? Too many people today turn on the radio or TV because they can’t appreciate the quiet. I want my little one to have loving friends, but also periods of quiet, reflective fun time by himself. My husband and I grew up with siblings, but he hates solitude while I find lots of activities to do by myself. I am never lonely. What’s the difference between solitude and loneliness? — SOLITARY WOMAN IN OTTAWA, CANADA DEAR SOLITARY WOMAN: The difference between solitude and loneliness depends on how an individual handles being alone. Some people find silence threatening, while others -- like yourself -- need it to recharge their batteries. For your son to be at ease when he’s alone, ration his television time. Read to him so he’ll learn to appreciate the entertainment books provide. Give him items to play with that foster creativity, such as clay, paints and paper, a cardboard box he can pretend is a playhouse or a spaceship. (You may find he prefers it to whatever toy the carton contained.) If he’s encouraged to use it, his imagination will flourish. DEAR ABBY: My father-in-
law, “Earl,” is an alcoholic and an avid gun enthusiast. He owns many weapons; I don’t know the exAbigail act number. has been Van Buren He accumulating ammunition Dear Abby at an accelerated rate because he’s afraid that large clips will soon be banned. He drinks to excess and becomes belligerent and angry when drunk. Last summer, during one of his moments of inebriation, he shot a gun into the air as a “surprise” to the eight family members who were sitting within two to 10 feet of him. He takes pride in the fact that his guns are kept loaded, as “what good is an unloaded gun?” On two separate occasions, I know for a fact that a loaded gun was found unsecured in his home. When my husband and I travel with our children, ages 7, 5 and 4, to visit his family, we stay in Earl’s home. I feel the combination of alcohol and loaded, unsecure guns is not safe for my children. I have suggested to my husband that we stay in a hotel during our visits from now on. The problem is, my husband is unable to stand up to his father. He told me that when he tried
talking to him about his concerns, Earl called him a “wimp.” Please tell me how to get through to my husband. I don’t want to alienate his family, and I do want my children to have a relationship with their grandfather. — GUN-SHY IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR GUN-SHY: I’m sorry to say that your father-in-law may have your husband pegged accurately. A man who would allow his small children to stay in the home of an alcoholic who keeps unsecured, loaded weapons around is a wimp. There are responsible gun owners, and there are individuals like your alcohol-soaked in-law, who seem to have never learned that a bullet fired into the air must fall down somewhere and could kill or injure someone. Your husband doesn’t have to “stand up” to his father. All he has to do is make a hotel reservation and be sure the children spend no unsupervised time with Grandpa. To do anything less is child endangerment. Because your husband is unwilling to be the strong one, the responsibility for your children’s lives now falls to you.

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). Because the times have changed so much, new rules are more than necessary; they are essential to an orderly existence. And you’ll be in a position to decide just what those rules should be. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll only follow methods that make sense to you. If you find yourself questioning each move a leader makes, it’s a sign that you’re following the wrong person. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your guiding planet, Mercury, is backing into an auspicious arrangement with Venus. This may inspire you to take an alternative route to love. Your game is atypical, and that’s why it will work. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll hold on to high aspirations even while being swept into the demands of daily life. Certain low-level tasks must be handled if you’re to be a successful human being!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Weariness happens. It’s a function of working day after day, week after week without a break. Since you’ll be planning the future today, build a few breaks into the schedule to avoid future episodes of weariness. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The Mercury retrograde will help you see a relationship more clearly. Taking things out of context can be quite effective in helping you get to a “eureka!” moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Someone might be sentimental about the way things used to be, but this is neither reasonable nor useful. So much has happened to change your approach. The best you can do is set an example by embracing the times. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be happy for the temporary nature of some work. You’ll be glad when the jobs come, and today, even gladder to see them go. Think of today as character building. Tomorrow brings more satisfying endeavors.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll meet new people and form an immediate impression -like a line drawing in a coloring book. Subsequent information will color in the picture, but that initial form will hold true, so pay attention. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A rebellious motive emerges in you. Why you suddenly have no desire to fall in line is a bit mysterious and perhaps a moot point. When you’re not into it, you’re not into it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No matter how well you think you know a person, there is always more to discover. And new people in your scene will be just the catalyst necessary to bring out a different side in someone you know well. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A certain project requires skills you do not yet possess. Instead of looking for a partner to fill the role, get some training. You’ll find that you are more talented than you know!

Warriors advance to finals Free-throw success gives Corinth boost BY DONICA PHIFER dphifer@dailycorinthian.com
JACKSON — They did it again. The Corinth Warriors secured their third consecutive, and eleventh overall, appearance in a state championship basketball game following a 54-45 victory over the Laurel High School Tornadoes. Raheem Sorrell lead all scorers at 15 points, and seven rebounds. The Tornadoes leading scorer, Deshon Bayless pulled in a double-double at 13 points and 12 rebounds, including six offensive pulldowns. Locked in at 14 points each at the end of one period, Corinth edged out Laurel for a 23-21 lead, helped by the 43-percent field goal shooting from the Warriors. Free-throws proved a different story, both teams only making one shot out of four attempts for Corinth and eight for the Tornadoes. The Warriors changed the mark in the second half, putting up 15 of 20 at the line en route to the nine-point win. “We always look at the clock and try to know the free-throw situation. We just told them look, its that type of game and we’ve got the make some - there are some hard fouls coming...” Heach Coach Keith Greene said of the team. Laurel finished the night with a 31-percent total at the line, making 6 of 19 attempts despite 20 offensive rebounds that gave up multiple shot attempts and extra looks for the team. “They really abused us on the glass in the first quarter...where we couldn’t get a rhythm down but we really did a better job in the second half about stopping their second chances,” Greene said. Down 35-34 heading in the fourth, Terrel Payton provided the two-point floater to send the Warriors back on top. With free-throws falling in, the Warriors held at least a

The win places the Warriors back into the championship game and provides a rematch with reigning Class 4A State Champion Amanda Elzy. Elzy, who won the 2012 contest in a 56-47 decision, defeated Corinth in a 57-45 loss during the North Half Tournament finals. Coach Greene isn’t letting history bother him.
“People like to talk about history and past games but the only thing that matters is those 32 minutes on Friday night and how you perform that day. We know it’s going to take a great effort on our part, but I wouldn’t have it any other way and I’m sure they wouldn’t either,” Greene said. The Warriors return to Corinth today after spending the night in Jackson, and will
focus their energy towards the upcoming game beginning on Wednesday with a light workout and shoot-around practice. The Class 4A Championship Game will be played on Friday, March 8 at 8:30 p.m. at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson.

Lions grab first victory of season BY DONICA PHIFER dphifer@dailycorinthian.com
BIGGERSVILLE — The third inning had proved to be the Lady Lions undoing in the first two games of the season, but the third game was the charm as Biggersville nabbed a 17-0 shutout game against Blue Mountain on Monday night. Pitcher Taylor Beth Nash earned her first no-hitter of
the season for the three inning game, striking out five and walking three others. Nash also hit a double in the first inning, scoring the first two runs for the Lions with the RBI. Biggersville’s eight runs in the first inning would be passed by a nine run second inning, most earned from steals on wild pitches. Elly Nash, pinch-hitting

Diggins leads ND women past UConn in 3 OTs BY TOM COYNE The Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Skylar Diggins found another way to beat Connecticut — maybe the toughest way yet. The second-ranked Fighting Irish trailed by six in the first overtime Monday night, then five in the second overtime before finally beating the third-ranked Huskies 96-87 in three overtimes Monday night to win Big East regularseason title outright for the second straight year. “We were done in regulation and the first and second overtimes. We just clawing away and got them to miss some free throws,” Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said. “What a battle.” The Fighting Irish (28-1, 16-0) went undefeated in the conference for the first time since joining in 1995-96 and became the first team to win six of seven games against Connecticut (27-3, 14-2) in more than two decades. Dig-
gins finished with 29 points and 11 rebounds and Kayla McBride added a career-high 26 points before fouling out. UConn coach Geno Auriemma was pleased with his team’s effort, but disappointed the Huskies couldn’t come up with a big play when they needed one. “We couldn’t finish it off,” he said. “Every opportunity we had to put it away we let it slip away from us.” The Irish took their first lead in overtime when Kaila Turner hit a free throw 18 seconds into the third overtime. After Kelly Faris answered with a bank shot for the Huskies to regain the lead, the Irish took over. Ariel Braker starter it with a free throw, then Jewell Loyd muscled in a basket inside and nearly a minute later added a pair of free throws to give the Irish an 87-83 lead. Diggins then stole the ball from Breanna Stewart and scored on a fastbreak layup, then Braker,
Diggins and Natalie Achonwa each made two free throws to put the game away. The Irish managed to win despite going just 1 of 12 from 3-point range and being outshot 46 percent to 39 percent, but the Irish forced 35 turnovers. Achonwa added 17 points and eight rebounds for the Irish. The Huskies missed three free throws in the first overtime, including one by Morgan Tuck that would have given the Huskies a four-point lead with 13 seconds left. McBride then hit Notre Dame’s only 3-pointer with 8 seconds left to tie the score at 71 and force the second overtime. “I saw they were doubleteaming Sky and I had taken the ball out and it was basically a one-on-one situation,” McBride said. “I saw and opening and took it.” Diggins, playing in her final game before her hometown crowd, said the Irish never
gave up. “We’re all competitors from the head coach all the way down to the end of the bench. And we always feel like we can find a way to win,” she said. “That’s the mindset of our team.” The Huskies got up by five in the second overtime, but then had three turnovers and a missed free throw. “How many chances can you have?”Auriemma asked. “You’re on the road against a really good team. You might get one chance. You might get two chances when it really matters. But you’re not going to get unlimited chances.” Especially with Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley sitting on the bench after fouling out in the closing seconds of regulation. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis led UConn with 26 points, Faris added 21, Dolson had 12 points and Hartley finished with 10. “An amazing win,” McGraw said.
