THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — It’s one month and counting before the 2016 New Or-leans Jazz and Heritage F e s t i v a l returns to the Fair-g r o u n d s R a c e Course.
Organizers Tuesday released the coveted “cubes,” which show per-formance times and stag-es for this year’s artists, including Stevie Wonder, Pearl Jam, Snoop Dogg, Nick Jonas, J. Cole, Bon-nie Raitt and Beck.
Festival producer Quint Davis said Tuesday was the day that everything comes together and fits for festival-goers.
“What you see is a big jumble of names, up until today,” Davis said during a press conference at the Fair Grounds. “You have no idea of how they go to-gether and who’s where. You don’t know that there will be Big Freedia, Re-birth Brass Band and
Snoop Dogg. You don’t know that Walter (Wash-ington) will be playing with the Isley Brothers and Maze.
“You don’t know not to miss Kermit Ruffin’s trib-ute to Louis Armstrong or that Tab Benoit brings in Nathaniel Rateliff and then Van Morrison. But that’s what happened here today for us. Now you will see the festival. How these acts fit together and how these acts combine, this is what the show is.”
In addition, festival pro-ducers announced a few changes in hopes of avoid-ing a repeat of last year’s Elton John-induced grid-lock at the Acura Stage, the event’s largest.
In 2016, no chairs, blan-kets or tarps will be per-mitted anywhere on the dirt track that encircles the Fair Grounds infield. The Advocate reports the “standing room only” ar-eas in front of the three main stages — Acura, Congo Square and Gen-tilly — also have been ex-panded.
Scene&Seen ST. PADDY’S ZUMBAGreen was the theme at the St. Patrick’s Zumba Night of Magic at the East Columbus Gym March 17. “We rocked it, sweated — even tried a little Riverdance — and had a grand time!” said Bonnie Patridge.

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUSThe Associated Press
JACKSON — Attorneys are arguing about whether a federal court has the power to decide if the Confederate battle emblem should be removed from the Mississippi flag.
The state attorney general’s office, arguing on behalf of Re-publican Gov. Phil Bryant, said flag design should be decided through the political process, not by a judge.
Carlos Moore of Grenada, a private attorney who sued the governor over the flag, said the federal court has standing to
decide questions his suit raises. Moore is asking U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves to declare the flag an unconstitutional ves-tige of slavery.
Reeves ordered both sides to file arguments over whether the federal court is the proper place to consider arguments about design of the last state flag with the rebel emblem — a red field with a blue X topped by 13 white stars. The judge has not said when he will rule.
If Reeves rules that the court lacks standing to decide ques-tions about the flag, he could dismiss the lawsuit. If he de-
cides the court has standing, he could hold a hearing for attor-neys to make more arguments.
The Mississippi flag and the public display of other Confed-erate symbols have been debat-ed since June, when nine black worshippers were massacred at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. The man charged in the slayings had previously posed in online photos holding a rebel flag.
Since the Charleston attack, several Mississippi cities and counties, and some universities, have stopped flying the state flag. However, leaders of the Re-publican-controlled Legislature said they couldn’t get consen-sus this year on bills that would have either redesigned the flag or taken state money away from
public entities that refuse to fly the current banner. Moore filed his lawsuit days after bills died.
In arguments Monday, Moore wrote: “The question before the court is whether the inclusion of a symbol of the Confederate States of America in the official state flag of Mis-sissippi is a badge, incident, or vestige of slavery that operates to deprive plaintiff (Moore) of the equal protection of state law, by suggesting that he is a sec-ond-class citizen when he enters public property on personal or professional business.”
Douglas Miracle, a special as-sistant attorney general, wrote that Reeves should follow the political question doctrine, “the admonition that courts not ad-judicate matters of generalized
grievances more appropriately addressed in the representative branches.”
Miracle also wrote that the lawsuit fails to show Moore has suffered a particular harm be-cause of the flag.
“Plaintiff’s alleged injury — fear for his safety — is precisely the type of speculation and con-jecture the Supreme Court has rejected,” Miracle wrote.
Moore wrote that the flag cre-ates a hostile work environment for him in courthouses where it flies, and that “anxiety has cre-ated more stress in my life and has probably contributed to or caused the exacerbation of med-ical ailments, including but not limited to hypertension, insom-nia and abnormal EKGs.”
Attorneys argue over court role in Miss. flag disputeAttorney general’s office: Design should be decided by political process, not by a judge
BY JEFF AMY AND NASSIM BENCHAABANEThe Associated Press
JACKSON — A Mis-sissippi Senate commit-tee Tuesday proposed to ban elected officials and candidates from spending campaign money on them-selves, after Associated Press and Clarion-Ledger reports highlighted wide-spread personal use.
The Senate Elections
Committee amended House Bill 797 to say cam-paign money can’t be used for purposes including rent, gasoline purchases, car payments or loans to candidates. The bill also says candidates can’t cash out campaign accounts at career’s end. The AP reported Sunday that at least five former Missis-sippi officials in recent years cashed out more
than $50,000.Rep. Hank Zuber,
R-Ocean Springs, said the news reports helped thaw longstanding resistance to making changes.
“It was well worth the wait,” Zuber said. He re-peatedly introduced un-successful proposals to ban personal use of cam-paign funds and cashing them out when officials retire. “For me it’s an is-
sue of what is right and moral, and reinstating confidence in the political process.”
Candidates would still be able to spend the mon-ey on “ordinary and nec-essary expenses of a can-didate or officeholder.”
The bill moves to the Senate for further debate. Prospects may be cloudy in the House, though. House Apportionment and Elections Commit-tee Chairman Bill Denny, R-Jackson, declined com-ment on the Senate pro-posal because he hadn’t seen it, but his committee
Tuesday called for a study of campaign finance prac-tices, with a committee to report proposals by Oct. 15.
“The best way to do it isn’t amendment by amendment when we don’t really have a handle on the issue,” Denny said. “We don’t yet know what the whole picture is.”
Mississippi is one of only five states that still allow elected officials to pocket campaign money for personal use during or after their careers, based on a survey by the National Conference of
State Legislatures and AP research. The others are North Dakota, South Da-kota, Wyoming and Vir-ginia.
Experts say the lack of legal safeguards could erase the line between campaign contributions and bribery.
“It erases the distinc-tion between the political candidate and the person,” said Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. “The money might mean more to the candidate be-cause they would know they could use it later.”
Miss. senators seek to end personal campaign cash use‘For me it’s an issue of what is right and moral, and reinstating confidence in the political process’

AROUND THE STATE
Adams County votes to raise smoking age to 21
NATCHEZ — Teens in Adams County itching to buy that first legal ciga-rette the second they turn 18 will have to wait at least three more years — at least outside the Natchez city limits.
The Natchez Democrat reports the Adams County Board of Supervisors vot-ed Monday to raise the le-gal tobacco use age to 21.
The catch to the ordi-nance, however, is that it doesn’t apply inside the Natchez city limits be-cause under state law the city has local control.
Under the adopted measure, anyone who sells tobacco products to
someone younger than 21 will be subject to a $500 fine and a 30 day ban from employment at any tobac-co retailer for the first offense and a $1,000 fine and a 90 day ban for the second and subsequent offenses.
Commercial air service returns to Tupelo April 5
TUPELO — City offi-
cials and Contour Airlines are giving travelers a sign that commercial air ser-vice will soon resume at Tupelo Regional Airport.
WTVA-TV reports Contour flew one of its nine-passenger planes in Tuesday for the public to tour. It’s one of two that will be used when flights start April 5 to and from Nashville.
Contour says it will offer 30 flights a week with $18.99 one-way fares during April to encourage people to try the airline. Those fares increase to $49 one way after April 30.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSON — An inno-cent bystander was killed when his car was struck by a suspected shoplifter leading police on a chase from a suburb into Missis-sippi’s capital city, police said Tuesday.
The chase Monday
night happened less than three months after Jack-son City Councilman Ken-neth Stokes said police chases from suburbs into Jackson are endangering people. Stokes suggest-ed in January that people throw rocks, bricks and bottles at officers chasing misdemeanor suspects
into the city.Lonnie Blue Jr., 34, of
Braxton, died when his car was struck by a fleeing vehicle in west Jackson, authorities said. Stokes said Blue’s family told him that Blue was on his way home from work when his car was hit.
“This man is dead and we warned them and told them that something bad was going to happen,” Stokes told WAPT-TV Tuesday. “How many peo-
ple come home from work and get the death penal-ty?”
Clinton interim police chief Mike Gill said offi-cers tried to stop a vehi-cle leaving Wal-Mart after a report that a computer and other electronic devic-es had been stolen in the suburban store, but the vehicle kept going and of-ficers chased it into west Jackson. Gill said officers followed state law during the pursuit.

AREA OBITUARIES
BY JENNIFER KAYThe Associated Press
MIAMI — Bob Adel-man, a photographer who documented the civil rights movement across the Deep South, has died at age 85.
Adelman was pro-nounced dead at his Miami Beach home Saturday af-ternoon, according to Mi-ami Beach Police spokes-man Ernesto Rodriguez. An autopsy is pending and Adelman’s death remains under investigation, Ro-driguez said.
Adelman volunteered his services as a photogra-pher to the Congress of Ra-cial Equality, the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and other civ-il rights organizations in the 1960s. The work put him on the front lines of the civil rights movement, frequently in the company of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., whom he called “Doc.”
“Now they seem like momentous events. At the time, they were cov-ered in the back pages of newspapers, for the most part. The only time blacks appeared in newspapers at that time was when there was violence,” Adelman told The Associated Press in 2014.
He went on to shoot the covers of national maga-zines and the front pages of national newspapers, but he always considered himself an activist.
Among Adelman’s
best-known images were a shot of King and his wife, rain dampening their clothes, leading a crowd on a march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, in 1965.

TORONTO — Rob Ford, the pugnacious, populist former mayor of Toronto whose career crashed in a drug-driven, obscenity-laced debacle, died Tuesday after fight-ing cancer, his family said. He was 46.
Ford rode into office on a backlash against urban elites. He cast an image sharply at odds with Cana-da’s reputation for sedate, unpretentious politics. His tenure as mayor of the country’s largest city was marred by revelations about his drinking prob-lems and illegal drug use. He was repeatedly video-taped and photographed while intoxicated in pub-lic.

BY BREE FOWLER AND BRANDON BAILEYAP Technology Writers
NEW YORK — For more than a month, federal investigators have insisted they have no alternative but to force Apple to help them open up a phone used by one of the San Ber-nardino shooters.
That changed Monday when the Justice Department said an “outside party” recently showed the FBI a different way to access the data on the phone used by Syed Farook, who with his wife killed 14 people in the Dec. 2 attack.
The magistrate judge in the case postponed a hearing scheduled for Tuesday and gave the government two weeks to test its method. But federal officials have been mum about who came forward and what method they’ve proposed. Here are some of the leading options outside experts think the FBI might be ex-ploring.
Back up and attackOne likely scenario involves mak-
ing multiple copies of the iPhone’s flash memory, which investigators could use to restore the phone’s data should they inadvertently trigger the phone’s “self-destruct” feature by making too many wrong guesses at the passcode.
That feature doesn’t actually erase all the files on the iPhone. Instead, it erases a section of the iPhone’s memory that contains one of the keys necessary to unlock the data on the phone. This section, known as the “effaceable storage,” sits in a memory chip that theoreti-cally could be removed and plugged into a reader device that’s capable of electronically copying what’s stored on the chip — and then replacing the data if it’s been erased.
While the technique hasn’t been proven for this purpose, forensic expert Jonathan Zdziarski said it was demonstrated in a widely cir-
culated video that shows a Chinese smartphone vendor using a similar procedure to install more memory capacity on an iPhone.
Reset the countA more nuanced approach would
involve isolating the portion of the phone’s memory where the count of how many passcode attempts have been made is stored, said Ajay Aro-ra, CEO and co-founder of Vera, an encryption software company.
In theory, the person working on the phone would then be able to reset the count each time it approached 10, allowing investigators to make an infinite number of guesses.
“This is more technical and a little more difficult, because you’d have to isolate the section,” he said. Apple hasn’t provided any maps to show where that data is stored. The main problem: The FBI would run the risk of losing information if something went wrong.

READER COMMENT
OUR VIEW
Falcons bring celebration home to their fansAs midnight approached
on the evening of March 12 at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson, a celebration broke out on the court.
The Columbus Falcons had just turned back Starkville High School in a fiercely contested, if less than artistic, Class 6A Boys Basketball Championship game.
As soon as the final sec-onds of that 37-33 victory ticked away, the Columbus players, coaches and a few dozen of their most devoted fans emptied onto the court to celebrate.
As post-game celebrations go, it was fine.
But given the historic nature of the victory, a bigger celebration seemed in order.
That moment came Tues-day night, as the city of Columbus staged a “Celebra-tion of Champions” Parade downtown. The parade, which included the Columbus High Band and ROTC, city and school officials and — of course — the players and coaches, drew hundreds of fans who turned out on a pleasant evening to acknowl-edge the historic feat.
The Falcons claimed their first state championship with the win over Starkville. Based on the prevailing mood
during Tuesday’s parade, they are not content with just one title. With a strong nucleus of returning players, CHS hopes repeat the feat next year.
It’s best not to get too far ahead, though. The Falcons and their fans should enjoy the moment.
They should also remem-ber how they got here.
Some championship teams roll through the competition and impose their dominance through the playoffs.
But for the Falcons, the journey was far more diffi-cult — never more difficult than in the title game against Starkville, which was bidding
for back-to-back titles.The game was nothing
short of a war, with both teams imposing their de-fensive will on the other, as the low score indicated. That the Falcons were able to overcome an eight-point third-quarter deficit in such a low-scoring game is testament to their mental toughness, poise and determination.
Hard-fought victories are always the sweetest, of course. Tuesday’s parade was a fitting way to share those emotions with their fans.
We congratulate the Falcons, and we also pause to acknowledge other champi-
ons from our area: Columbus Christian Academy boys basketball team; Oak Hill Academy girls basketball team; Hebron Christian girls basketball team; and Hebron Christian boys basketball team. Each of them won state championships in their Mississippi Association of Independent Schools classifi-cation.
We also would like to point out that the both the girls and boys teams from West Lown-des High School made it to postseason play in Jackson.
It was a great day to be a Falcon on Tuesday, and great seasons for many area teams.
Voice of the people‘The Secret of Magic’
Re: Jim Terry’s response to Rufus Ward’s column on the treatment of German POWs kept in Aliceville, Alabama (Local voices: Tell the whole story on black World War II veterans, March 16).
In his letter Mr. Terry points out the disparate ‘Southern hospitality’ shown German POWs kept in Aliceville, versus American heroes with dark skin returning home to Mississippi following WWII.
Mr. Terry might have mentioned the remark-able book. The Secret of Magic by Deborah John-son. This recent novel is a work of consumate skill and certainly merited winning the Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction, in 2014.
Whether you wait for the movie version (surely there will be one if only for a scene that rivals one in The Godfather by Mario Pucci), or you read The Secret of Magic for yourself, be warned you will not want to put the book down until the end.
You are not likely to be disappointed. It’s a fine example of high drama by a local writer describ-ing in scary detail the fate of a medal-wearing black officer heading home to Mississippi at the end of the war. With echoes of a Greek tragedy no less, the hero’s father takes on a daunting task: to avenge his son.
Ms. Johnson wrote and researched the story in Columbus where she now lives. In a prior career, the author lived in Rome and worked for Vatican Radio. Her previous novel, The Air Between Us, draws on the life of a respected surgeon practic-ing in Nebraska, her father.
You are obviously a learned historian and your commentary was very informative. Just in case you didn’t know about this book, I hope you will want to discover for yourself an interesting writer doing interesting work right here in our home-town today. History comes alive in The Secret of Magic.

CAMPAIGN 2016
The rule-or-ruin Republicans“Things reveal them-
selves passing away,” wrote W. B. Yeats.
Whatever one may think of Donald Trump, his campaign has done us a service — expos-ing the underbelly of a decaying establishment whose repudiation by America’s silent majori-ty is long overdue.
According to The New York Times, super PACs of Trump’s GOP rivals, including PACs of candidates who have dropped out, are raising and spending millions to destroy the probable nominee.
Goals of the an-ti-Trump conspirators: Manipulate the rules and steal the nomi-nation at Cleveland. Failing that, pull out all the stops and torpedo any Trump-led ticket in the fall. Then blame Trump and his followers for the defeat, pick up the pieces, and posture as saviors of the party they betrayed.
This is vindictiveness of a high order.
It brings to mind the fable of the “The Dog in the Manger,” the tale of the snarling cur that, out of pure malice, kept the hungry oxen from the straw they needed to eat.
Last week came reports on another closed conclave of the “Never Trump” cabal at the Army and Navy Club in D.C. Apparently, William Kristol circulated a memo detailing how to rob Trump of the nomination, even if he finishes first in states, votes and delegates.
Should Trump win on the first ballot, Kristol’s fallback position is to create a third party and recruit a conservative to run as its nominee.
Purpose: Have this rump party siphon off enough conservative votes to sink Trump and give the presidency to Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose policies are more congenial to the neocons and Kris-tol’s Weekly Standard.
Among the candidates Kristol is reportedly proposing are ex-Gover-
nor Rick Perry of Texas and former Senator Tom Coburn of Okla-homa, both respected conservatives.
Kristol contends a third-party conserva-tive candidate can win.
He can’t be serious. It is absurd to think Gov. Perry, whose poll numbers were so low that he dropped out of the race last September without winning a sin-gle primary, caucus, or even a delegate, could capture the White House on a third-party ticket.
Perry would not even be assured of win-ning his home state.
Trump and Perry would split the conser-vative vote in the Lone
Star State and deliver its 36 elector-al votes to Clinton, thus assuring a second Clinton presidency. Does Perry want that as his legacy?
As for Coburn, he is not national-ly known. But his name on the bal-lot would take votes, one-for-one, from the Republican nominee.
How would that advance the causes for which Tom Coburn has devoted all of his public life?
Indeed, if the supreme imper-ative for Kristol and the “Never Trump” conservatives is to defeat him, they have become de facto al-lies of George Soros and MoveOn.org, Black Lives Matter and Occu-py Wall Street — and the party of Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton.
However, if the oligarchs, neo-cons and Trump-loathers, having failed to stop him in Cleveland, collude to destroy the GOP ticket in the fall, they have a chance of succeeding. And Clinton’s super PACs would surely be delighted to contribute to that cause.
But, again, what will they have accomplished?
Do they think that Republicans who stay loyal to the ticket will not see them for the selfish, rule-or-ruin, wrecking crew they have
become? Do they think that if a Trump-led ticket is defeated, they will be restored to the positions of power and preeminence that a majority of their fellow Republicans have voted to strip away from them?
The Beltway has to come to terms with reality. It has not only lost the country; it has lost the par-ty. It is not only these elites them-selves who have been repudiated; it is their ideas and their agenda.
The American people want their borders secured, the invasion stopped, the manufacturing plants brought back and an end to the conscription of our best and bravest to fight wars dreamed up in the tax-exempt think tanks of neocon-servatives.
Trump is winning because he speaks for the people. Look at those crowds.
Establishment pundits are now wailing that they have gotten the message, that they understand that they have not been listening.
But still, they refuse to act on this recognition.
In June of 1978, Gov. Jerry Brown of California, who had fought tirelessly against Prop-osition 13, which would slash property taxes across California, did a U-turn when it passed in a landslide. And Brown himself implemented the tax cuts he had opposed.
He got the message and acted on it.
One sees none of this flexibility in the Beltway establishment, none of this acceptance of the new reali-ties, only obduracy.
Donald Trump is only the mes-senger.
If these conservative defectors from a ticket led by Trump collude with Democrats, by running a third party candidate to siphon off Trump’s votes, they may succeed.
But they delude themselves if they think they will have solved the problem of their own irrelevance, or that they have a future.
The party will survive. They won’t.

From our websiteThe following is an edited selection of reader
comments posted at the end of stories and columns published on-line. More can be found at www.cdispatch.com. Voice of the people: Judith L. Coleman
Tro705: Sounds like you were parked on private property. If the fellow was paying rent on the building then he has the right to have your car towed.
Unfortunately there was no sign pointing out that this was a private parking area and you did learn an expensive lesson.
frank: I must admit I always thought law enforcement was required to intervene before a car could be towed. I have had the occasions to have a vehicle removed when blocking a door to my business and always called the police first. On the surface it appears that towing a vehicle that you don’t own or hold a note on, without going through law enforcement, would be grand theft. I am surprised a towing company would do the job on just a person’s word and without law enforce-ment or a repo order.
Mississippi senators: Next president should nominate justice
KJ705: The American people did have a say in who should choose the next SC justice: during the last presidential election cycle. There is no “bipar-tisan practice of leaving a Supreme Court vacancy untouched during an election year.”
Just because somebody repeats a fiction doesn’t mean that reporting that statement is responsible. There is no need to aid and abet politicians in their quest to misinform the public.
matt2021: Republicans are passing up on a moderate, but what happens when Hillary is elected. Shall we wait another eight years? It is my hunch that the Republicans will try to wait it out to see what happens with the election and then If Hillary wins they will try to ram through Obama’s nominee. I think if not confirmed by October, he should withdraw from consideration.

JACKSON — Mississippi sena-tors have killed a proposal to expand medical exemptions to some of the strictest childhood vaccination re-quirements in the nation.
Senate Education Committee Chairman Gray Tollison, R-Oxford, said he was persuaded by arguments from physicians and state health of-ficials who oppose House Bill 938. Tollison’s committee didn’t consider the bill Tuesday, so it died under a deadline for committee action.
The proposal would have removed the requirement that the state Health
Department approve any medical exemption granted by any in-state or out-of-state physician. Without Health Department approval, chil-dren who lack some of the required vaccinations can’t enroll in public or private school.
“Mississippi has a very good system in place and we are happy it remains unchanged,” Dr. Mary Cur-rier, the state health officer, said in a statement. “We will continue to work to see that medical exemptions for children are granted when re-quested, while also ensuring that all Mississippi children are protected against vaccine preventable diseas-es.”
Mississippi, West Virginia and California are the only states that don’t allow religious or philosophi-cal exemptions, and California only removed its exemption in 2015 after more than 100 people who had been to Disneyland contracted measles in late 2014.
“We do have medical exemp-tions in Mississippi,” Tollison said Tuesday. “We certainly need to be courteous to people making these requests and helpful to doctors go-ing through this process.”
MaryJo Perry of Pelahatchie, co-director of Mississippi Parents for Vaccine Rights, said her group has sought a legal change because parents find the Health Department heavy-handed. She said leaders’ priority is to maintain Mississippi’s ranking as the nation’s leader in vaccination coverage rates.

JACKSON — Mis-sissippi officials say the damage from floods this month is the most wide-spread the state has had since Hurricane Katrina.
Mississippi Emergency
Management Agency Di-rector Lee Smithson tells The Clarion-Ledger fed-eral and state assessment teams have been on the ground in the Delta.
Smithson says exten-sive flooding in those ar-
eas has left hundreds of houses and businesses damaged and destroyed.
Smithson said Coaho-ma, Bolivar and Washing-ton counties have been as-sessed, but there are still more Delta counties to go.
He says FEMA, MEMA and the Small Business Administration have been leading the assessments.
Officials are urging that flood victims get in touch with their county officials.

He is responsible for providing the state of Mississippi and the U.S. with a ready force of more than 12,275 citizen soldiers and airmen.

up the area into watch-es. She said she intend-eds to break them up by neighborhood, in roughly 6-mile swaths, though some neighborhoods are spread out enough that they might require multi-ple watches.
She said she’ll need about four block captains per watch. They will serve as the primary contact points between the watch-es and CPD.
Sanders acts as a li-aison between CPD and watches, and told the peo-ple at Tuesday’s meeting that they can contact her with any problems.
“A lot of people like to call 911, but some like that familiar face and I’m that face,” she said. “They give me their problems and I’ll tell the divisions within the police depart-ment what the problem is. They’ll get solved.”
Carolyn Judson, a
Northaven Woods resi-dent, said she found the meeting very insightful.
“I think it was right on time with a lot of the things that are going on in the city of Columbus as a whole,” she said. “We want to be informed and we want to try to help our neighbors. It was very nice that our councilman decided to pull the meet-ing together with some concerned citizens who were calling him about it.”
Brenda and Ray Toney, who live in Hickory Ridge, attended the meeting.
“We want to take our neighborhoods back,” Brenda said. “We want our neighborhoods to be safe.”
Ray said watches are vital to help fill the gaps when police can’t be somewhere.
“The police depart-ment can’t be everywhere
all the time,” Ray said. “If you observe just little small things, like where I live, we know everything that’s going on. If I see a strange vehicle, I’ll wait to see what it’s going to do. It’s just trying to find a way to keep an eye on your neighbor.”
Gavin said Tuesday’s meeting was larger than those in the past. He said it not only served as an in-formational session about neighborhood watches, but as a chance for Ward 6 residents to meet each other.
“We brought a lot of people out tonight not just to learn about starting neighborhood watches, but for neighborhood to-getherness,” Gavin said. “We’re all neighbors. No matter which part of Ward 6 you live in, we are all neighbors and it’s our duty to watch after each other.”

were broken into clusters and shown around dif-ferent classrooms on the campus.
The program was part of EMCC’s “Lucky Like a Lion” program designed to introduce students to a variety of career oppor-tunities, with particular emphasis on non-tradi-tional career choices for each gender. This was the second year that EMCC has put on such an event for high school students, according to Susan Baird, assistant dean of EMCC’s Manufacturing Technol-ogy & Engineering Divi-sion.
With events like job fairs, Baird said, students tend to only gravitate to-ward the fields that they already think they are
interested in or that they think they should pur-sue. In particular, girls tended to gather around traditional careers, like nursing, while boys were drawn to manufacturing. The career clusters are designed to show stu-dents a little bit of every-thing, Baird said.
In other words, the same boys who got 25 minutes in the industri-al maintenance lab also spent 25 minutes learn-ing about the nursing program. Meanwhile, the girls who spent 20 minutes with members of EMCC’s culinary pro-gram also spent 20 min-utes learning about the forestry program.
However, each student was also placed in a clus-
ter that would visit the program which the stu-dent’s counselor said the student showed particu-lar talent or interest in, Baird said. This way the students learned more about a field they were thinking about, but also got to see their other op-tions.
The program was paid for by a $5,000 federal grant awarded to commu-nity colleges for programs that promote students in nontraditional careers, Baird said. EMCC started the program with the an-nual Women in Science & Technology Conference, which was combined with Lucky Like a Lion this year.
“There are so many careers or jobs available
for advanced manufactur-ing,” Baird said. “They’re good paying jobs regard-less of gender.”
Palmer Home for Children held an informational meeting Tuesday for individuals and couples interested in becom-ing foster parents through the children’s home’s private foster network.
A handful of people from the Columbus area came to learn more about Palmer Home and what they would need to do to
accept a child into their homes for an unknown amount of time.
Palmer Home has been working with Mississippi’s Di-vision of Family and Children’s Services to set up an alterna-tive to state-run foster care, said Mary Beth Ketchum, a caseworker at Palmer Home.
The organization is specif-ically looking for Christian in-dividuals and families who are actively involved in a church.
Those people will act as a guardian to a child or children whose biological parents can-not take care of them.
Ketchum stressed that Palmer Home is not an adop-tion agency and the ultimate goal is reunite children with their biological parents. In-dividuals who want to adopt would do better looking for a different organization, accord-ing to Ketchum.
Though only a handful of
people attended the meeting, Ketchum said she has been in contact with another 10 or so families in the area interested in learning more about foster-ing.
Palmer Home’s goal is to have foster families all over Mississippi, so Ketchum and marketing content manager Allison Chimenya have sched-uled other meetings in Oxford and Hernando.
Additionally, Chimenya
plans to market Palmer Home’s need for foster parents through social media and through the publications the organization already sends out to its donors, sponsors and volunteers. Palm-er Home president Drake Bas-sett also has plans to speak at churches, civic clubs and other gatherings to recruit families and individuals to become li-censed foster parents with the new network.

CAMPAIGN 2016
BY STEVE PEOPLESThe Associated Press
A clash of worldviews is intensify-ing as the presidential contenders in both parties fight to convince voters they can best protect the nation from a renewed threat of Islamic extrem-ism.
As the world grappled with a new wave of attacks in Europe, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton traded wins with their chief rivals on Tues-day in primary contests across three Western states. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for blasts in Brussels that left dozens dead and many more wounded.
“This is about not only select-ing a president, but also selecting a commander in chief,” Clinton said in Seattle as she condemned Trump by name and denounced his embrace of torture and hardline rhetoric aimed at Muslims. “The last thing we need is leaders who incite more fear.”
Trump, in turn, branded Clinton as “Incompetent Hillary” as he dis-
cussed her tenure as secretary of state. “Incompetent Hillary doesn’t know what she’s talking about,” the billionaire businessman said in an in-terview with Fox News. “She doesn’t have a clue.”
The back and forth between the front-runners came on a day when voters were eager to make their voic-es heard in the 2016 election.
In another development, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who dropped out of the race after the Super Tues-day primaries, endorsed Cruz.
Bush tweeted Wednesday that “Ted is a consistent, principled con-servative who has shown he can unite the party.”
Bush added on his Facebook page that Republicans “must overcome the divisiveness and vulgarity Donald Trump has brought into the political arena” or risk losing to Hillary Clin-ton.
Trump and Clinton scored vic-tories in the night’s biggest prize of Arizona, while Democratic challeng-
er Bernie Sanders won caucuses in Utah and Idaho. Republican Ted Cruz claimed the GOP caucuses in Utah.
The victories for Sanders and Cruz kept the front-runners from dominating another election night, but both Clinton and Trump main-tained a comfortable lead in the race for delegates who decide the presi-dential nominations.
As voters flooded to the polls, the presidential candidates lashed out at each other’s foreign policy prescrip-tions, showcasing sharp contrasts in confronting the threat of Islamic ex-tremism.
Clinton — and Trump’s Repub-lican rivals — questioned the GOP front-runner’s temperament and readiness to serve as commander in chief, and condemned his calls to di-minish U.S. involvement with NATO.

BY ERIC TUCKER AND MICHAEL BIESECKERThe Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Asked earlier this month whether she’d be indicted over her use of a private email server as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton responded, “It’s not going to happen.”
Though Republicans characterized her re-
sponse as hubris, several legal experts interviewed by The Associated Press agreed with the front-run-ner for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The relatively few laws that govern the handling of classified materials were generally written to cover spies, leakers and those who illegally retain such information, such as at home. Though the view
is not unanimous, several lawyers who specialize in this area said it’s a stretch to apply existing statutes to a former cabinet secre-tary whose communica-tion of sensitive materials was with aides — not a national enemy.
During her tenure as the nation’s top diplomat between 2009 and 2013, Clinton’s work emails were routed through a private computer server located in the basement of her New York home. The State Department now concedes that a small percentage of those mes-
sages contained sensitive national security infor-mation, including some later determined to be top secret.
Computer security experts say the arrange-ment could have left the messages vulnerable to hackers, including those working for foreign intel-ligence agencies. Clinton has called her decision to rely on the home server a “mistake,” but has also repeatedly asserted that none of the messages was marked as classified when she sent or received them.

DEARBORN, Mich. — Presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s call for increased surveillance in Muslim neighborhoods follow-ing the deadly bombings in Brussels drew sharp rebukes from Muslim Americans and civil rights groups, which panned the Republican’s proposal as unconstitutional and counterproductive.
Cruz said Tuesday that law enforcement should be empowered to “patrol and secure Muslim neighbor-hoods before they become radicalized.” Echoing ear-
lier statements from rival Donald Trump, Cruz also said the U.S. should stop the flow of refugees from countries where the Is-lamic State militant group has a significant pres-ence. The Islamic State took credit for the attacks at the Brussels airport and a subway station that killed dozens Tuesday and wounded many more.
Muslims across the county and groups includ-ing the Council on Amer-ican-Islamic Relations and the Anti-Defama-tion League condemned Cruz’s statements, but many said such a reaction
was nothing new. Advo-cacy groups have said for months that the Islam-ic-extremist attacks in Paris and
San Bernardino and the intensifying rhetoric in the presidential campaign have ratcheted up animos-ity against American Mus-lims.
“We believe we are part of the society. We have the same ideology as main-stream Americans,” said Osman Ahmed, a resident of a Somali neighborhood in Minneapolis. “I don’t think the ideology of surveillance of a Muslim community neighborhood
is the right thing to do. That will send a message that Muslim Americans are not a part of Ameri-can society ... and that’s the message that terror-ism groups are willing to hear.”
Trump, who has pro-posed a temporary ban on foreign Muslims entering the U.S, praised Cruz’s plan as a “good idea” that he supports “100 percent” in an interview with CNN. The Republican front-run-ner also intensified his past calls for the U.S. to engage in harsher interro-gation techniques.

SALT LAKE CITY — Surviving a major bomb-ing is the extraordinary — and repeated — situ-ation that one Utah teen can live to tell about.
Mason Wells, a 19-year-old from Sandy, Utah, is expected to make
a full recovery from the bombing attack at the Brussels airport Tuesday, which left him with a sur-gery scar, severed Achil-les tendon, head gash, shrapnel injuries and se-vere burns.
Wells had once again found himself at the cen-ter of a major attack — standing within feet of
a bomb that exploded at the Belgian airport. The blasts in the Belgian cap-ital killed 34 people and wounded scores at the air-port and a subway station.
Three years ago, Wells and his father felt the ground shake and narrowly escaped death from an April 2013 attack in the U.S., when a pres-
sure-cooker bomb ex-ploded a block away from where they were watch-ing his mother run the Boston Marathon.
“Hopefully he’s run his lifelong odds and we’re done,” said Chad Wells about the oldest of their five children. “I think it will make him a stronger person...Maybe the Bos-ton experience was there to help him get through this experience.”

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration stepped up securi-ty at major transit hubs across the country after Tuesday’s airport and subway bombings in Brussels, as top U.S. intelligence officials warned of the risk for copycat at-tacks at home. President Barack Obama vowed to help Belgium
track down those responsible for the deadly explosions.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson stressed there is no “specific, credible intelligence” pointing to a similar plot in Amer-ica, but he said the Transportation Security Administration would de-ploy additional security at major airports and rail stations in differ-ent cities. Officials also reviewed additional security measures for
travelers from Belgium, among more than three dozen countries whose citizens generally don’t need a visa to enter the U.S.
The State Department warned Americans about potential risks to travel in Europe. “Terrorist groups continue to plan near-term attacks throughout Europe, target-ing sporting events, tourist sites, restaurants and transportation,” it said in a statement. Officials ad-vised U.S. citizens to “exercise vig-ilance” in public places or on mass transportation and to take “particu-lar caution” during religious events or large events.

BRUSSELS — Islamic extremists struck Tuesday in the heart of Europe, kill-ing at least 34 people and wounding scores of others in back-to-back bombings of the Brussels airport and subway that again laid bare the continent’s vulnerabili-ty to suicide squads.
Bloodied and dazed
travelers staggered from the airport after two ex-plosions — at least one blamed on a suicide attack-er and another apparently on a suitcase bomb — tore through crowds check-ing in for morning flights. About 40 minutes later, another rush-hour blast ripped through a subway car in central Brussels as it left the Maelbeek station,
in the heart of the Europe-an Union’s capital city.
Authorities released a photo taken from closed-circuit TV footage of three men pushing lug-gage carts in the airport, saying two of them appar-ently were suicide bomb-ers and that the third — dressed in a light-colored coat, black hat and glass-es — was at large. They urged the public to reach out to police if they recog-
nized him. The two men believed to be the suicide attackers apparently were wearing dark gloves on their left hands, possibly to hide detonators.
In police raids Tuesday across Belgium, authori-ties later found a nail-filled bomb, chemical products and an Islamic State flag in a house in the Schaerbeek neighborhood, the state prosecutors’ office said in a statement.

There is reason for optimism despite at-tendance being slightly down at the first two rounds of the women’s basketball NCAA tournament.
The 16 sites drew an average of 4,464 fans, about 250 less than the previous year.
“While overall attendance numbers for the first and second rounds were similar to last year, we were encouraged by 10 ses-sions that exceeded 5,000 fans,” NCAA se-nior vice president for women’s basketball Anucha Browne said. “We have had a very competitive championship with increased parity, and are looking forward to four great regional sites that should be rocking.”
While Syracuse was below the mark, drawing an average of 3,200 fans in the three sessions, it’s way above their season attendance. The Orange only averaged 752 fans during the regular season. They had 3,842 show up Sunday to see them beat Al-bany and advance to their first Sweet 16.
While Syracuse, South Carolina, and UConn cruised to easy victories, fifth-seed Mississippi State edged Michigan State in
the second round and the 7,000 fans gave the Bulldogs a huge home-court edge.
The Bulldogs played host to the first and second rounds because the Spartans’ arena was being used for the state’s high school tournament.
“It was a great atmosphere. Give Missis-sippi State a lot of credit. I’ve been a head coach for 21 years and played in a lot of are-nas with a lot of people, maybe more people. But I’ve never, ever played in front of a crowd that loud. Ever,” Michigan State coach Suzy Merchant said. “It was the loudest crowd I’ve ever played in front of. I don’t know what the attendance ended up being — 7,000? It felt like there were 70,000 in there.”
STARKVILLE — Brian Baker wanted to get back to coaching college foot-ball.
He began his career coaching in college, but he took an opportunity to coach in the NFL in the mid-1990s. After nearly 20 years in the NFL, Baker was anxious to get back to where he started.
When the Mississippi State foot-ball team lost David T u r n e r to Texas A&M, Bak-er saw his c h a n c e . T h r e e weeks ago,
Baker realized his goal when MSU coach Dan Mullen him to be the Bull-dogs’ new Bulldog defen-sive line coach.
“(It’s) really just a chance to pour into the guys,” Baker said. “I am a man of faith, and I’ve al-ways wanted to share that part of my philosophy and my coaching experience. I want to give back to the players what the good Lord has given to me. I didn’t always have that chance in pro boll, and it didn’t lend itself to that.”
STARKVILLE — Some surpris-es are better than others.
The surprise Starkville High School baseball coach Travis Garner received Tuesday night at Carlisle Field might not be topped.
Behind a two-hit pitching perfor-mance from senior left-hander Jus-tin Conner, Starkville blanked Mad-ison Central 10-0 in its Mississippi High School Activities Association Class 6A, Region 3 opener.
Madison Central entered the game with two victories against Re-gion 3 rival Northwest Rankin. The Jaguars also have been ranked as high as No. 3 in The Clarion-Ledger’s poll. On Tuesday, though, Starkville needed only 1 hour, 33 minutes to win by run rule in five innings.
“We have played really well in the last couple of weeks,” Garner said. “However, this really takes playing
STARKVILLE — Many thought Malik Newman would spend one year with the Mississippi State men’s basketball team.
A highly sought after recruit coming out of Callaway High School, Newman was one of a hand-ful of incoming freshmen that had the label of being a “one-and-done player.” On Tuesday, he took one
step closer to making that coming true, announcing his plans to enter the NBA draft. But Newman said he isn’t going to hire an agent, which gives him the option of returning to MSU next season.
“We talked about it and we think we have a really good chance of mak-ing my dreams come true,” Newman said. “The development coach (Ben) Howland helped me with throughout the season becoming a point guard I
think really helped.”Under a new proposal passed by
the Division I council, the 6-foot-3 guard can participate in the NBA Combine (May 11-15) and work out once with each NBA team before making a decision. The deadline to decided whether he will enter the draft is May 25.
Newman was projected as a first-round draft pick before the season
STARKVILLE — Even though it wasn’t a Southeastern Confer-ence opponent, Jacob Robson was focused on Mississippi Valley State.
The Mississippi State baseball team lost both midweek games last week, something that didn’t affect them over the weekend, but it was a sore subject. Robson and the vet-erans made sure there was a good mind-set for this week’s non-confer-ence opponent.
Robson went 3-for-4 with four RBIs to lead No. 10 MSU to a 16-1 victory against MVSU on Tuesday night at Dudy Noble Field.
“We took this opponent serious-ly,” Robson said. “We were just used to competing really hard and being ready from pitch No. 1.”
MSU (15-6-1), who took two out of three games from Vanderbilt last weekend in Nashville, Tennes-see, lost squandered two six-run leads in a 16-12 loss in 10 innings to Eastern Kentucky and lost to Oral Roberts 3-1 last week. Those losses came on the heels of a series sweep of Oregon.
MSU coach John Cohen didn’t think there was a lack of focus last week. Instead, he said the oppo-nents did things better to capture the wins.

linebacker at Maryland from 1980-83, Baker was a student assistant for the Terrapins in 1984 and a graduate assistant in 1985. His first full-time job was fullbacks coach at Army in 1986. He coached the Georgia Tech linebackers from 1987-95 and was the defensive co-ordinator for one year.
In 1996, Baker started his NFL career with the San Diego Chargers. He went on to coach with the Detroit Lions (1997-200), the Minnesota Vikings (2001-05), the St. Louis Rams (2006-08), the Car-olina Panthers (2009-10), the Dallas Cowboys (2011-12), the Cleveland Browns (2013), and the Washing-ton Redskins (2014).
After coaching at Cov-enant Christian Academy (Texas), it didn’t take long for Baker to know from watching the Bulldogs’ defense and the defensive line that he wanted to go to MSU.
“It’s a group that plays fast and a group that plays aggressive,” Baker said. “After meeting with coach Mullen, I understood why because this team plays to his personality. That was the thing that really became intriguing to me when this opportunity opened up.”
Baker said there was an opportunity for him to return to the college game at North Carolina after he left the Panthers in 2010. After being let go on a Monday, he was in Chapel Hill on a Tuesday and was talking with coach Butch Jones, but Baker didn’t like the fit. Davis was let go in April.
At MSU, Baker joins defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Pe-ter Sirmon, cornerbacks coach and recruiting co-ordinator Terrell Buck-ley, and safeties coach Maurice Linguist replace Manny Diaz, Deshea
Townsend, Jay Hughes, and Turner as new defen-sive coaches.
The defense isn’t un-dergoing a complete overhaul, but a 3-4 front is being implemented. This spring might be the most intense in a while for the defensive linemen because no spots that are guaranteed.
“We all have stuff we did good last year, but I feel like this is a new audi-tion for everybody,” rising senior defensive end A.J. Jefferson said. “I feel like this should be the best spring as a group we’ve had since we’ve been here. Everybody is trying to getting a starting spot.”
Jefferson said Baker reminds him of Turner. He said they have some of the same tendencies and that the terminology and some techniques are the only differences.
Baker has 15 spring practices, including the Maroon and White Game on April 16 at Davis Wade Stadium, and a month of fall practice to prepare his unit for the 2016 season. He has six seniors and one junior in his group, so he has experience to rely on.
“They’ve been through it and played in the SEC,” Baker said. “They know what kind of work it takes to win in this conference, and that’s good. If you had a whole room full of young guys that don’t what that battle is like, then once they line up it is going to be a shock to them.”
Jefferson, who had 47 tackles (13.5 for loss) and five sacks last season, and senior defensive tackle Nelson Adams, who had 25 tackles (one for loss) last season, have lettered the past three seasons.
Junior college transfer Tre Brown also is going through spring practice. Baker will add Starkville High School standout Kobe Jones, Noxubee County High standout Jef-fery Simmons, and Mar-quiss Spencer in the fall.
While coaching in the NFL, Baker helped devel-op Pro Bowlers DeMarcus Ware, Julius Peppers, Jay Ratliff, Anthony Spencer, Kevin Williams, Robert Porcher, and Luther El-liss. He understands how to get the most out of play-ers. He also knows there will be high expectations with a talented defensive line returning.
“It’s very exciting because he coached in the league for 20 years,” Jefferson said. “That’s a blessing for all of us here. I feel like he can get us all where we need to be and where we want to be.”
Baker is equally ex-cited to have a chance to touch the lives of young men and to help them re-alize their dreams.
“I knew having the chance to deal with kids from 18 to 23 years old that they would be more receptive to a philoso-phy,” Baker said. “The philosophy is real simple: the attitude of gratitude. It’s them understanding them being here is a gift from the good Lord, and me being here as a coach is an absolute gift from the good Lord.”

STARKVILLE — Amanda Ivy went 3-for-4 with two RBIs Tues-day night to lead the Mississippi State softball team to a 10-2 vic-tory against Southeastern Louisi-ana in six innings at Nusz Park.
Freshman Taylor Kelly re-corded her first multi-hit game, in addition to hitting her first career extra-base hit, and sophomore Calyn Adams went 2-for-3 with two RBIs for MSU (20-8), which earlier in the day moved into the ESPN.com/USA Softball Colle-giate Top 25 at No. 25.
“We looked a little like the Bad News Bears to start off,” MSU coach Vann Stuedeman said. “Coming off a huge series, the coach’s challenge is to get the team ready to play the midweek games and to remember that ev-ery pitch does matter. We had a really good night up and down the lineup. We were able to work on some things and work on situ-ational hitting.”
Following an early 2-0 deficit, the Bulldogs tied the game in the third inning before scoring eight runs in the final three innings.
Ten Bulldogs combined to score the 10 runs.
Sophomore Cassady Knud-sen started and surrendered two runs in 1 1/3 innings before giving way to Mackenzie Toler in the second. Freshman Regan Green (5-3) relieved Toler in the fourth and pitched three shutout innings. She allowed one hit and struck out six.
MSU will play host to Central Arkansas at 6:30 p.m. tonight (SEC Network).

Sophomore Elisha Jahnke (6-3) struck out three and allowed two earned runs on five hits. Freshman Krista Jacobs worked the final frame and allowed one run on three hits.
Elantra Cox went 3-for-4 with two runs scored. Courtney Syrett was 2-for-3 with two RBIs and one run scored. Natalie Martinez added a pinch-hit RBI single, while Grayce Majam had an RBI and Alex Schneider had a double and two RBIs.

Alcorn State (7-14) had three hits against starter Madi Moore (9-0), who notched her fourth shutout of the season.
“Madi has earned every one of her starts,” Al-abama coach Patrick Murphy said. “She has kept us in the game, gave us a chance to score first and gets out of tough situations. She’s been making the pitches when she needs to and I think everybody is confident behind her.”
Alabama will play host to No. 15 Missouri (22-4) in a three-game Southeastern Conference series this weekend. Game 1 is slated for 2 p.m. Saturday.

playing well to a different level. Would never have imagined a game quite like this. It’s just one re-gion game, and you still play nine of them. Howev-er, it was one really good region game for us.”
Starkville (9-4, 1-0 region) won its third straight — all by run-rule. After losing to Gulfport 15-2 in the season opener, the other three Starkville losses have been by a combined seven runs. Garner said the team failed to take advantage of scoring opportunities in those losses.
That wasn’t the case against Madison Central.
“Every time we got a runner on, we basically got them in,” Starkville senior catcher Rashon
Tate said. “That is a big difference and a good dif-ference going into region play. We have some good offensive players. We just have to keep putting pres-sure on the other team. In this win, we did a great job of taking advantage of ev-erything (Madison Cen-tral) set up for us.”
Starkville had the bas-es loaded with two outs in the first inning and scored three runs. It had the bas-es loaded with two outs in the second and scored four runs.
“As a pitcher your con-fidence just grows and grows every time you see a run cross the plate,” Conner said. “The first inning was great. Howev-er, I felt even better when it was 7-0. I knew I had a
good lead and all I had to do was throw strikes. That made the job a little easier.”
Brilliant play by the Starkville defense made Conner’s night even eas-ier. Left fielder Milton Smith II had a diving catch down the line to rob an ex-tra-base hit. Center fielder A.J. Brown also had a crit-ical catch to preserve the shutout. Another inning ended when second base-man Will Murphree went in the hole to rob a hit.
“The defense was great,” Conner said. “I had confidence that any play behind me was go-ing to be made. Madison Central has a good line-up. However, if you have a lead and a great defense, you just pitch even better.”
Conner allowed two runners — each on hits for Madison Central (8-6, 2-1).
Starkville scored three times without a hit in the first. A potential in-ning-ending ground ball was thrown away to clear the bases. In the second, Tate had the big blow with a three-run double to the left-center field gap. J.D. Taylor followed with a hit.
“I think we are playing with a lot of confidence,” Tate said. “The team is close, and we just feel real-ly good out there together. Our two-out hitting was incredible. This is how you win the big game.”
Starkville brought the run rule into effect with three runs in the fifth. A sacrifice fly by Brown and
back-to-back RBIs from Tate and Taylor ended the game.
All 10 Starkville runs came with two outs.
“All of the little things you have to do to win a big game is what we did to-night,” Garner said. “You are waiting for that one game when it all clicks. It is the type of game that the players can reach back to and say, ‘We did this.’
“You really need to take it with grace, though, because we play again Thursday. The next two days we will have to spend bringing the guys back down. I am glad they feel the way they do.”
With Starkville playing errorless ball and Conner not walking anyone, the gap between the teams
was sizable. Madison Cen-tral pitching walked eight and hit two. The Jaguars committed two errors.
The three-game sea-son series will resume at 6 p.m. Thursday at Madison Central. The teams play again April 8 in Starkville.
“What a long way to go,” Tate said. “Also, what a start.”
n Oxford 9, New Hope 2: At Ox-ford, the Chargers beat the Trojans in the opening Class 5A, Region 2 game for both teams.
Houston Roth struck out 15 to lead top-ranked Oxford (11-4, 1-0 region).
Will Godfrey, Thomas Stevens, Aidan Fletcher, and Shay Boyd had hits for New Hope (8-3, 0-1).
Also in that region Tuesday night, Saltillo beat West Point 6-3.

“The philosophy is real simple: the attitude of gratitude.”
Mississippi State defensive line coach
Brian Baker
started, but he wasn’t pro-jected to go in the first round in a mock draft released Tuesday by USA Today.
“I’m just hoping we can get something good in the first round and weigh the op-tions for me,” Newman said. “If it’s the second round, I’m pretty sure I’ll be back.”
During his 10-year ten-ure (2003-13) as the coach of UCLA, Howland had 18 players selected in the NBA draft, including freshmen Trevor Ariza, Kevin Love, Jrue Holiday, and Shabazz Muhammad. Love, Holi-day, and Muhammad were all taken in the first round, while Ariza was taken in the second round.
Prior to the season, How-land said there was no ques-tion Newman had the skill level to be a one-and-done player because he reminded him of those four players.
“This was the plan from the first day I met Malik re-cruiting him,” Howland said. “We expected for him to put his name in the draft and explore this opportunity this year, so this is not anything unexpected. My advice mov-ing forward is he has really got to hit the ground running in terms of his workouts and his conditioning.”
Newman said he had been thinking about his future for a while and that he would test the waters of turning professional, but he made up his mind Monday. MSU’s season ended March 10 with a loss to Georgia in the Southeastern Confer-ence tournament. Newman took the rest of the week and the next week (spring break) to discuss the options with his family.
Newman battled several injuries that kept him from getting in a rhythm. He missed the first game due to a turf toe injury that made him miss two weeks of prac-tice. He battled through an elbow injury and missed the Feb. 20 game against Ala-bama due to lower back sore-ness. In his last eight games, he scored in double digits once (17 against Auburn) and failed to score against South Carolina.
“I think the injuries were kind of a setback through-out the season,” Newman said. “With my body being healthy and me being 100 percent, I think I’ll be a total-ly different player.”
Newman averaged 11.3 points per game and 10.4 points against Southeast-ern Conference opponents. He scored a career-high 25 points against Ole Miss on Jan. 23 at home. Many thought it was his com-ing-out party, as he was 7 of 10 from 3-point range.
Howland said Newman really improved his ballhan-dling skills and his body, but Howland was especial-
ly pleased with Newman’s progress on defense.
“I think he’s really im-proved as a defensive play-er,” Howland said. “When you get to that level of the NBA, it’s different than the college game and it’s even more one-on-one. Every-body can shoot, the floor gets stretched so much more that there’s a level of in-tensity and understanding of a sense of urgency that you have to have on every pos-session.”
Howland likes where Newman’s competitive spirit is as he heads to the com-bine. The first-year coach likes the new rule and thinks it will help many underclass-men make the right decision
and avoid going undrafted.Howland said he talked
with rising sophomore Quin-ndary Weatherspoon earlier this week. He said Weather-spoon won’t go through the combine. Weatherspoon av-eraged 12.0 ppg., including a team-best 14.9 ppg. in league play.
Howland would love to have Newman back to play with Weatherspoon, but he understands what’s at stake for Newman.
“If he did end up coming back, I think he’s going to grow from this process and it’s going to really help him a year from now,” Howland said.
Newman is taking class-es online this semester, so
he won’t be behind academi-cally if he returns.
Newman said before the season started he wanted to focus on the season at hand and not worry about playing professional basketball, but he said it remains one of his biggest dreams. Although the season wasn’t want he wanted, Newman is happy about what the future holds.
“It’s exciting. It’s very exciting,” Newman said. “I just have to put in all the time and hard work to make my dreams happen.”

Leading 5-0 in the fifth inning, Rob-son hit a fly ball to deep center field that bounced and hit the wall. The Delta Devils (4-14) had trouble corral-ling it, which allowed Robson to use his speed for an inside-the-park grand slam to push the lead to 9-0.
Cohen said he has seen that many times before in Major League Base-ball, but he said it was a treat to see Robson sprinting around the bases.
“Once he gets under way, he is one of the fastest players in college base-ball,” Cohen said. “He is flying. Any-body can hit a ball over the fence, but to do what he did (Tuesday), he just outran the game a little bit. That was fun to watch.”
Robson said he had never seen an inside-the-park grand slam, but he knew he was going to be running for a while as soon as it left the bat.
“I guess it took a weird bounce,” Robson said. “When I got around sec-ond I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m probably go-ing to score here,’ and it worked out.”
Senior second baseman John Hol-land went 3-for-4 with three RBIs and three runs in a starting role. Fresh-man Elih Marrero had two hits after pinch hitting, while Reid Humphreys, Brent Rooker, and Hunter Stovall had two hits in the 19-hit attack.
Freshman left-handed pitcher Kon-nor Pilkington (1-0) threw five innings and allowed no runs on two hits. He walked none and struck out six.
“This is one of those evenings where you’ve got to ask yourself, are
we getting better or are we getting worse? I think our club got better. We got total involvement from our club,” Cohen said.
MSU didn’t strike out, marking the first time that has happened since June 21, 2013, against Oregon State in a victory that sent MSU to the College World Series finals.
Cohen said that was a credit to great plate discipline after seeing four MVSU pitchers.
MVSU’s Drew Wheeler had three hits and knocked in former West Point High School standout Edward Cox, who had one hit, in the eighth. Former Caledonia High School standout Cole Gullette had a hit, while former Gordo (Alabama) High School player Mar-cus Jones pitched 2 2/3 innings and allowed six runs (five earned) on five hits. He walked one.
MSU will play host to Georgia (14-8), which has lost three in a row, includ-ing a 3-1 loss to Mercer on Tuesday. Game 1 of the three-game series will be at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
Cohen was happy with how the Bulldogs approached the game and didn’t lose focus.
“We had some goals and our kids accomplished them,” Cohen said. “It was a very workman-like effort.”
n No. 7 Ole Miss 8, Tennessee-Martin 2: At Oxford, the Rebels blasted three home runs to move to 20-2 for the first time in school history.
A crowd that included more than 6,000 children in atten-dance for the annual School Day at Swayze Field saw Ole Miss get off to its 22-game start in program history.
Tate Blackman, Colby Bortles, and Cameron Dishon had home runs. They each had two hits to combine for six of the
team’s seven hits.Freshman James McArthur (3-0) earned his third-
straight victory in as many starts, going five innings and allowing four hits. He struck out a career-high seven. Three freshman relievers kept the Skyhawks (7-14) scoreless. Con-nor Green threw 2 1/3 innings, Dallas Woolfolk pitched one inning, and Andrew Lowe retired both batters he faced.
Ole Miss will play host to South Carolina in its first South-eastern Conference home weekend series. Game 1 will be at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
n Tulane 12, Southern Mississippi 7: At Biloxi, Rich-ard Carthon and Jake Willsey each drove in three runs to lead the No. 30 Green Wave (14-7) past the Golden Eagles (16-6) on Tuesday night at MGM Park.
Southern Mississippi lost for the second time this season in Biloxi. It lost to South Alabama 4-2 earlier this month.
Junior Chuckie Robinson led the Golden Eagles with a career-high four hits as Southern Miss had 14. It marked the fifth-straight game Southern Miss had double-digit hits.
The Green Wave scored in five innings. They built a 3-0 lead in the third inning on the strength of only one hit. They added three runs in sixth and solo runs in the seventh and eighth before they broke the game open with four runs in the ninth.
n Alabama-Birmingham 8, Alabama 0: At Birming-ham, Alabama, the Crimson Tide (13-7) suffered their first loss by shutout this season in falling to the Blazers at Regions Field.
“Credit UAB, they played extremely well,” Alabama coach Mitch Gaspard said. “They pitched well and swung the bats well. Really on our end, it’s the second Tuesday in a row that I thought we put together a pretty poor performance on our side. We didn’t have good energy, came out flat and they jumped on us in a hurry. We didn’t show a lot of fight tonight, unlike what we did this weekend, so it was a disappointing night tonight.”
The Blazers had 12 hits, including four doubles, and kicked off the scoring with a four-run second inning. UAB added single tallies in the third and fourth innings and added a final pair of runs in the seventh.
Alabama starter Mike Oczypok (2-2) worked 2 2/3 innings and allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits. He struck out four.
Alabama will play host to Tennessee for a three-game weekend series at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. Game 1 will be at 7 p.m. Friday.

BY ALISON LADMANThe Associated Press
Easter sides are depressingly predictable. There will be as-paragus, of course. If you’re
lucky, there might even be three or four variations of asparagus. And there will be peas. And gratin potatoes. And probably some sort of salad that most people will only eat to be polite. Not that there’s
anything wrong with any of this.It’s just that it would be nice
to offer something ... different. So we’ll help you with this one. Try our butter roasted radishes with tarragon and lemon. It’s a simple dish that comes together in minutes, but has a wonderful flavor that is both rich and light and lemony — the perfect combi-nation for spring.
The name will get your attention; the taste will seal the deal. That’s what a soup by Chef Paul Brasfield and
the Bin 612 team did at the 2016 SOUPer Bowl in Starkville. The event presented in February by the Starkville Convention and Visitors Bureau offered the public an opportunity to see local chefs at work and taste their creativity. When the votes were all in, Bin 612’s recipe for “Drunk-en Chicken, Sausage, Shrimp and Corn Chowder finished with Mexican Bruschet-ta” took the first place prize and Best in Show.
“My favorite thing to do is make soup,” said Brasfield Monday. “You can do anything with it; it’s a liquid meal you can make just incredible.”
Brasfield, a Jackson native, is chef de cuisine at the Starkville restaurant located at 612 University Drive. He talked about the award-winning chowder.
The Drunken Chicken soup had its beginnings in a preliminary version proposed by Bin 612 sous-chef Aaron Martin. With Brasfield’s input and a bit of brainstorming, the recipe developed into a flavorful blend that celebrates “keeping it local” to the Golden Triangle area and Mississippi. “We use local free-range chicken from Cackleberry Farms in Prairie, Country Pleasin sausage from Florence, Missis-sippi, and shrimp that comes from the Mississippi coast,” said Brasfield, who consistently promotes the use of locally grown produce in season.
The “drunken” in the chicken comes
from preparing the chicken using alco-holic beverages. Methods are available online. Brasfield prepares his with beer, on the grill.
The winning chowder delivers on savory.
“And it has a little tang to it — it’s got the tomatoes, the balsamic vinegar, cilan-tro ... I put some corn in there as well as several other ingredients. It worked out so well,” Brasfield said.
On the recipe prep scale of “easy” to “difficult, the chef puts this one at “diffi-cult.”
“Don’t expect just to whip it up,” said Brasfield.
Soup showcaseSOUPer Bowl organizers were pleased
with this year’s event, which was held at the Dawg House Sports Grill.
“We were thrilled with the turnout for the seventh annual SOUPer Bowl,” said Jennifer Prather, Special Events coordinator with the Greater Starkville Development Partnership, on starkville.org. “All our participating restaurants went the extra mile to create unique and creative soups, and the attendees enjoyed the opportunity to network with the chefs from our local restaurants.”

For Brasfield and the team, garnering the first place and Best in Show awards was gratifying, but win or not, the best reward each year is the reaction of those who come to taste.
“It was incredible just seeing the reaction on the faces,” Brasfield remarked. “You know you’ve done something right when people come back for more.”
Also placing in the 2016 SOUPer Bowl top three were Old Venice Pizza Co. at second, with its Crawfish Chowder; and Commodore Bob’s Yacht Club in third, for a Shrimp and Cantaloupe Bisque.
Prather praised the eclectic offerings pre-pared by participating chefs.
“The culinary scene in Starkville is growing and thriving,” she said, “and the Partnership is proud to be able to pro-mote that through this event.”

BY SARA MOULTONThe Associated Press
When the subject is Eas-ter eggs, most folks usually are talking
about the gaily painted speci-mens in a basket. Me, I think of holiday brunch, and in partic-ular of eggs Benedict. I think of the rich and indulgent dish of Canadian bacon, sautéed spinach and poached eggs en-throned on an English muffin, the whole kit and caboodle drenched in hollandaise sauce.
Making this winner, how-ever, is no snap. Not only must you time the cooking of the separate ingredients just right, but whipping up the hollanda-ise — that classic French butter sauce — can be challenging.
Happily, I’ve solved the first problem by rethinking the components so that they can be prepared in advance, then combined and baked together. This required making a few subtle substitutions.
I traded the Canadian bacon for a thin slice of ham, which does double duty as a cup to hold the rest of the ingredients. Likewise, I swapped out the English muffin for croutons, which provide some welcome crunch. Finally, there’s now no need to poach the egg (a scary undertaking all by itself). Instead, it bakes right in the ham cup.
What about that fearsome old hollandaise sauce? In truth, it’s never been a terribly big deal as long as you take your time and pay attention. Over the years I’ve made it every which way, with chunks of whole butter or melted butter or clarified butter, using a dou-ble boiler or a saucepan direct-ly over low heat or a blender. But the method laid out in this recipe is my favorite.
The key to making a hollan-daise is cooking the eggs just enough so that they thicken (starting around 145 F), but not so much that they curdle (between 165 F and 170 F). The
best way to control this process is to put the eggs in a metal bowl set over — but not touch-ing — some barely simmering water and cook them slowly. The lemon juice helps to keep the yolks from curdling, but you’ll also want to keep track of how hot the egg mixture is becoming by sticking your immaculately clean finger into the bowl every couple of min-utes. When the egg mixture is quite warm, it’s time to add the butter.
We’re using whole chunks of butter here for a couple reasons. First, whole butter is roughly 15 percent water, and that water helps to keep the sauce from splitting. Second, using whole butter results in a lighter and fluffier finished product than a sauce made with melted or clarified butter. Still, to keep the sauce from splitting, be careful to add the butter just a bit at a time.
What to do if that pesky sauce splits anyway? Dump the
mixture into a measuring cup, wash out the bowl, drop in a tablespoon or two of hot water, then slowly add the split sauce to the water, whisking as you go, and watch with triumph as your sauce re-emulsifies.
As noted, this recipe — un-like the classic method — does not require you to pull all of the cooked ingredients out of a hat at the moment of assembly. You can sauté the spinach and bake the croutons the day before your brunch. Then, on the morning of the appointed day, you can make the Hollandaise up to an hour ahead of time and store it in a wide-mouthed thermos that’s been pre-heated with boiling water. Last step? Add the ingredients to the ham cups. Then just pop those cups into the oven 20 minutes before it’s time to sit down.

n Heat the oven to 375 F.n In a large skillet over medium-low, melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter. Arrange the bread cubes on a rimmed baking sheet, then drizzle the melted butter over them. Toss well, then bake on the oven’s middle shelf for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden. Set aside and reduce the oven to 350 F.n Return the skillet to medium-high and add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Heat until the butter is melted and starts to brown. Add half the spinach and cook, stirring, until it starts to wilt. Add the remaining spinach and cook, stirring, until all of the spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a strainer set over a bowl or sink and let excess moisture drip away.n Lightly mist 8 muffin cups with
cooking spray, then line each with a slice of ham, allowing the excess to flop over the edges. Divide the drained spinach among the cups, then crack 1 egg on top of each mound of spinach. Season with salt and pepper, then bake until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny, 16 to 18 minutes.n Transfer the cups immediately to serving plates (they should lift right out), then top each with hollandaise sauce, a few toasted bread cubes and a sprinkle of herbs.Nutrition information per serving: 360 calories; 280 calories from fat (78 percent of total calories); 32 g fat (18 g saturated; 1 g trans fats); 380 mg cholesterol; 540 mg sodium; 7 g carbohydrate; 1 g fiber; 1 g sugar; 13 g protein.

(If the bowl gets too hot at any time, simply lift the bowl off the pot and whisk the egg mixture off the heat.) Immediately drop in 1 chunk of butter and whisk until it is almost completely absorbed. Add another tablespoon and whisk again until it is almost absorbed, then repeat again.n Once the third piece of butter is nearly absorbed, start adding 2 butter chunks at a time, repeating the process until all of the butter has been added to the sauce. If at any time the sauce starts to get very thick, or look oily, add a tablespoon of water and then proceed adding the rest of the butter. Taste the sauce, then add the cayenne, salt and pepper and additional lemon juice to taste.

FAMILY CIRCUS
DEAR ABBY: My sister and I have
no interest in body piercing (except our ears), but we have seen it on friends and are not impressed. However, our 44-year-old mom got her nipples pierced and has started wearing jewelry there!
Our parents are divorced and she’s not in a relationship right now, so it’s not to impress a man. She says she did it to feel good about herself, which makes no sense to us. She takes off her top to show her female friends when they come over, and we can see them literally roll their eyes, but she doesn’t seem to notice. She has now started showing off her piercings to OUR friends. I’m talking about girlfriends, but even so, we find this beyond embarrassing. They’re polite to her face but laugh behind her back, and word about it has spread, which we find humiliating. I suppose we should be thank-ful that at least she hasn’t pierced her most personal place to show off to our
friends like we’ve seen some girls do.
We think some kind of midlife crisis or hormonal imbal-ance is causing her to act this way, but we wish she’d find a bet-ter outlet. If she wants to make a fool of herself in front of her friends, that’s one thing. But we don’t think she has the right to embarrass us in
front of our friends! What can we do? — EMBARRASSED IN THE WEST
DEAR EMBARRASSED: I agree that what your mother has been doing is inappro-priate. That she has done it among her friends is one thing, but for her to disrobe to show your friends her nipple piercings is wrong. She may do this because she wants to prove to them (or herself) that she’s still young and ‘’with-it.’’ If that’s the case, it’s pathetic.
If you haven’t told her that when she flashes your friends it’s embarrassing and you want her to stop, you should. If she realizes she’s making her-self a laughingstock, she may stop. However, if she doesn’t,
then you and your sister will have to accept that you can’t change her, and realize that what she’s doing is no reflec-tion on the two of you.
DEAR ABBY: I am a ‘’cat-fisher.’’ I use a fake Facebook account with pictures of an at-tractive woman to attract men. I specifically target married or committed men. I talk to and flirt with them online to see how far they’ll go. They often ask me for more pictures and invite me to meet somewhere for sex. I never give real infor-mation or meet any of them.
My question is, should I let the women these men are involved with know that their men are unfaithful or keep it to myself? — KARMA IN GEORGIA
DEAR KARMA: How can you be concerned for the wives and girlfriends when YOU are the person providing the temptation? I think you would be better served if you worked on your own problem before you try to resolve the issues of people you have never met and never will.

AP Photo/Matthew MeadThis easy weeknight chicken dish sports a sauce rich with tomatoes and paprika. Stirring sour cream into it just before serving transforms it into a true comfort food.
BY KATIE WORKMANThe Associated Press
Chicken paprikash is the kind of dish that reveals itself immediately and in-
arguably as comfort food, even if you’ve never eaten it before in your life.
It’s a classic Hungarian dish which features chicken, onions, broth, tomatoes (sometimes, not always) and of course copious amounts of paprika. I have been playing around with my tin of smoked paprika for quite a while now, and while I love the flavor, it can come on strong. So here I relied primari-ly on the typical sweet Hungar-ian paprika, then added a little bit of smoked to give it another level of flavor. You also could
add a bit of hot paprika to give the dish a different kind of kick.
If you are the kind of person to make your own dumplings or noodles, this is a great moment to whip out that skill set. For the rest of us, and for a weeknight dinner, a bag of egg noodles fits the bill perfectly. You don’t want to heat the sour cream in the sauce over the stove, or it might curdle. Just stir it into the pot at the very end and it will add a tangy-creamy note to the warm sauce.
CHICKEN PAPRIKASHStart to finish: 45 minutesServings: 8
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighsKosher salt and ground black pepper1 tablespoon canola oil
2 large yellow onions, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced cross-wise2 cloves garlic, finely minced2 tablespoons all-purpose flour2 tablespoons sweet paprika1 teaspoon smoked or hot paprika (optional)2 bay leaves14-ounce can crushed tomatoes2 cups low-sodium chicken broth3/4 cup sour cream16-ounce bag egg noodles
n Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a very large, deep heavy sauté pan (such as cast-iron) over medium-high, heat the oil. When oil is hot, add chicken and cook about 4 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for another 4 minutes; it will not be cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate. It’s fine if there are bits stuck to the pan.n Return pan to medium heat and add the onions. Sauté 5 minutes, or until softened and moderately browned. Stir in the garlic and sauté
for another minute. Stir in the flour and both varieties of paprika, stirring for 1 minute, or until well mixed. Add the bay leaves, tomatoes and broth. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasional-ly and scraping bottom to loosen any stuck bits.n Return chicken to the, along with any juices on the plate. Cook another 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.n Meanwhile, bring a large pot salted water to a boil and cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and divide between serving plates. When chicken is cooked, remove pan from heat. Remove bay leaves from sauce and discard, then stir in the sour cream. Top each portion of noodles with chicken and sauce.Nutrition information per serving: 520 calories; 140 calories from fat (27 percent of total calories); 15 g fat (6 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 245 mg cholesterol; 410 mg sodium; 49 g carbohydrate; 4 g fiber; 7 g sugar; 44 g protein.
