Study: Better television might
improve kids behavior
BY DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP
The Associated Press
SEATTLE Teaching parents to
switch channels from violent shows to
educational TV can improve preschool-
ers behavior, even without getting them
to watch less, a study found.
The results were modest and faded
over time, but may hold promise for
nding ways to help young children
avoid aggressive, violent behavior, the
study authors and other doctors said.
Its not just about turning off the tele-
vision. Its about changing the channel.
What children watch is as important as
how much they watch, said lead author
Dr. Dimitri Christakis, a pediatrician
and researcher at Seattle Childrens Re-
search Institute.
The research was to be published on-
line Monday by the journal Pediatrics.

Victims advocates worry judges dont take domestic abuse seriously
BY SARAH FOWLER
sfowler@cdispatch.com
On Aug. 15, 2011, John Alan
Redden got into an argument
with his wife that quickly es-
calated into a savage beating.
Redden beat his wife, Ginger
Redden, with a belt, jabbed her
with a golf club, then kicked
her as she collapsed on the
oor. Then he climbed on top
of her and began choking her
with his bare hands. When
Ginger Redden broke free from
his choke hold, he told her he
would kill her if she left him.
Last week, Redden pleaded
guilty to aggravated assault-do-
mestic violence, a felony that
carries a maximum prison sen-
tence of 20 years.
But Redden wont be serv-
ing any jail time. In fact, he
wont even have to report to a
probation ofcer, take an anger
management class or even per-
form community service.

Singer Mindy McCready
dies in apparent suicide
The AssociATed Press
HEBER SPRINGS, Ark.
Mindy McCready, who
hit the top of the country
charts before personal
problems sidetracked her
career, died Sunday in Ar-
kansas in an apparent sui-
cide. She was 37.
The Cleburne Coun-
ty Sheriffs Offce said in
a news release that Mc-
Cready was found dead at a
residence in Heber Springs
from what appears to be a
single, self-inficted gun-
shot to the head. An autop-
sy is pending.
It wasnt the frst suicide
attempt for the troubled
singer, whose list of prob-
lems only continued to
grow in 2013.
McCready entered
c o u r t - o r -
dered rehab
earlier this
month after
her father
told a judge
she was no
longer tak-
ing care of
herself or
her children and was abus-
ing drugs and alcohol. Her
sons were put in foster care
at the time, but its not clear
where Zander and Zayne
were at the time of Mc-
Creadys death.
McCreadys longtime
boyfriend David Wilson,
the father of her younger
son, died last month in Ar-
kansas. Authorities found
his body on the same porch
where they discovered Mc-
Creadys on Sunday.
LOS ANGELES Hyla Merin
grew up without a father and for a
long time never knew why.
Her mother never spoke about
the Army offcer who died before
Hyla was born. The scraps of in-
formation she gathered from other
relatives were hazy: 2nd Lt. Hyman
Markel was a rabbis son, brilliant at
mathematics, the brave winner of a
Purple Heart who died sometime in
1945.
Aside from wedding photos of
Markel in uniform, Merin never
glimpsed him.
But on Sunday, decades after he
won it, Merin received her fathers
Purple Heart, along with a Silver
Star she never knew hed won and
a half-dozen other medals.
Merin wiped away tears as the
Silver Star was pinned to her lapel
during a short ceremony attended
by friends and family at her home
in Westlake Village, a community
straddling the Ventura and Los An-
geles county lines. The other med-
als were presented on a plaque.
It just confrms what a great
man he was, Merin said tearfully.
He gave up his life for our country
and our freedom. Ill put it up in my
house as a memorial to him and to
those who served.
Merins mother, Celia, married
Markel in 1941 when he already
was in the military. They met at a
Jewish temple in Buffalo, N.Y.
About four months ago, the
manager of a West Hollywood
apartment building where Merins
mother lived in the 1960s found a
box containing papers and the Pur-
ple Heart while cleaning out some
lockers in the laundry room, Merin
said.
The manager contacted Purple
Hearts Reunited, a nonproft orga-
nization that returns lost or stolen
medals to vets or their families.
A search led to Merin.
She became kind of emotional,
because I dont have a lot of pic-
tures, I dont have a lot of stories,
and Ive always been a crier, she
said. My mother was always the
stoic one, very strong.
Markel was killed in the last days
of World War II on May 3, 1945, in
Italys Po Valley while fghting Ger-
man troops as an offcer with the
88th Division of the 351st Infantry
Regiment, said Zachariah Fike,
the Vermont Army National Guard
captain who founded Purple Hearts
Reunited.
The accounts suggest that he
was out on patrol and he got am-
bushed and he charged ahead
and basically took out a machine
gun position to save the rest of his
guys, said Fike, whose organiza-
tion has returned some two dozen
medals. For that, he paid the ulti-
mate sacrifce.
He was awarded the Purple
Heart and Silver Star posthumous-
ly, but for some reason the family
never was told about the Silver Star
and it was never sent to them, Fike
said.
Merins mother never talked in
detail to her daughter about Markel.
It was a very diffcult topic for
her. When my father died, she was
seven months pregnant with me,
Merin said.
Her mother briefy remarried
when Merin was 10 but her stepfa-
ther died three years later, Merin
said.
Her mother moved into the apart-
ment in 1960 and may have placed
the Purple Heart in the locker then,
Merin said. Her mother lived there
until 1975 before moving away, and
Merins aunt lived there until 2005.
Another aunt lived there until 2009.
They never spoke about what
was in the locker, and the family
must have missed the box when
they took away the aunts posses-
sions in 2005 and 2009, Merin said.
Merin said that in addition to the
Purple Heart, which Pike kept for
framing, the box contained letters
and other papers, and her fathers
Jewish prayer book.
Merins mother was told about
the discovery of the Purple Heart
but didnt live to see it she died
Feb. 1 at age 94.

Proposed ordinance targets unruly nightclubs
TUPELO Tupelo
offcials say eliminating
bring your own bottle
nightclubs could help
control littering, public
intoxication, disorderly
conduct and assaults.
The proposal would
require a city beer per-
mit or a state alcohol
permit for establish-
ments that serve alcohol
and provide entertain-
ment, The Northeast
Mississippi Daily Jour-
nal reported.
For me, its safe-
ty, said Tupelo Police
Chief Tony Carleton.
He noted a 2011 New
Years Day shooting at a
McCullough Boulevard
nightclub.
Both the state and
city permits require
background checks, spe-
cific security measures
especially for large
crowds and annual
registration. The permit
fee is $25 a year.
The proposal is on
the City Councils study
agenda Tuesday. So is an
ordinance that would let
patrons bring their own
alcohol to some restau-
rants without a beer or
liquor license, as long as
it accompanied a meal.
March 5 is the earliest
the nightclub ordinance
could come up for a vote.
The ordinance in-
cludes exemptions from
several security mea-
sures for businesses that
operate without trouble
and whose business is
primarily focused as a
restaurant.
Events hosted or
sponsored by a gov-
ernmental entity or
tax-exempt charities are
exempted from the pro-
posed ordinance; how-
ever, those groups still
have to go through the
permitting process to
sell alcohol.
The proposed ordi-
nance appears to be re-
dundant for the restaura-
teurs who already hold
state alcohol or city beer
permits, said Voz Vanel-
li, whose restaurant in-
cludes a bar with live
music.
Their concerns are
already covered by ex-
isting statutes and fees,
from what I understand,
said Vanelli. As part of
my permit, Im respon-
sible for making sure I
provide a safe environ-
ment.

Obama offering immigration
plan as backup for Senators
BY PHILIP ELLIOTT
WASHINGTON The White
House is downplaying its draft
proposal as merely a backup
plan if lawmakers dont come up
with an immigration overhaul of
their own. It wont be necessary,
Republican and Democratic
lawmakers alike are telling the
Obama administration.
White House chief of staff
Denis McDonough said Sunday
that President Barack Obama
wants to be prepared in case
the small bipartisan group of
senators fails to devise a plan
for the estimated 11 million il-
legal immigrants in the United
States. In response, lawmakers
assured the White House they
are working on their own plan
and warned that Obama would
be heading toward failure if the
White House gets ahead of them.
We will be prepared with our
own plan if these ongoing talks
between Republicans and Dem-
ocrats up on Capitol Hill break
down, McDonough said, adding
hes optimistic they would not
crumble.
But he was equally realistic
about the erce partisanship on
Capitol Hill.
Well, lets make sure that
it doesnt have to be proposed,
McDonough said of the presi-
dents pitch, rst reported on
USA Todays website late Satur-
day.
Even so, the administration
is moving forward on its own
immigration agenda should one
of Obamas top priorities get de-
railed.
The administrations proposal
would create a visa for those in
the country illegally and allow
them to become legal permanent
residents within eight years.
The proposal also requires busi-
nesses to know the immigration
status of their workers and adds
more funding for border securi-
ty.
It drew immediate criticism
from Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.,
one of the eight lawmakers
searching for a comprehensive
plan.

In this Tuesday, Jan. 29 le photo, President Barack Obama speaks
about immigration at Del Sol High School in Las Vegas. The White
House is circulating a draft immigration bill that would create a new
visa for illegal immigrants living in the United States and allow them
to become legal permanent residents within eight years, according to
a report published online Saturday.
TV
Continued from Page 1A
The study involved
565 Seattle parents, who
periodically lled out
TV-watching diaries and
questionnaires measur-
ing their childs behavior.
Half were coached for
six months on getting
their 3-to-5-year-old kids
to watch shows like Ses-
ame Street and Dora
the Explorer rather than
more violent programs
like Power Rangers.
The results were com-
pared with kids whose
parents who got advice on
healthy eating instead.
At six months, children
in both groups showed
improved behavior, but
there was a little bit more
improvement in the group
that was coached on their
TV watching.
By one year, there was
no meaningful difference
between the two groups
overall. Low-income boys
appeared to get the most
short-term benet.
Thats important
because they are at the
greatest risk, both for
being perpetrators of
aggression in real life,
but also being victims of
aggression, Christakis
said.
The study has some
aws. The parents
werent told the purpose
of the study, but the au-
thors concede they proba-
bly gured it out and that
might have affected the
results.
Before the study, the
children averaged about
1 hours of TV, video and
computer game watching
a day, with violent con-
tent making up about a
quarter of that time. By
the end of the study, that
increased by up to 10
minutes. Those in the TV
coaching group increased
their time with positive
shows; the healthy eating
group watched more vio-
lent TV.
Nancy Jensen, who
took part with her now
6-year-old daughter, said
the study was a wake-up
call.
I didnt realize how
much Elizabeth was
watching and how much
she was watching on her
own, she said.
Jensen said her daugh-
ters behavior improved
after making changes,
and she continues to con-
trol what Elizabeth and
her 2-year-old brother,
Joe, watch. She also de-
cided to replace most of
Elizabeths TV time with
games, art and outdoor
fun.
During a recent vis-
it to their Seattle home,
the children seemed
more interested in play-
ing with blocks and run-
ning around outside than
watching TV.
Another researcher
who was not involved in
this study but also focus-
es his work on kids and
television commended
Christakis for taking a
look at the inuence of
positive TV programs,
instead of focusing on the
impact of violent TV.
I think its fabulous
that people are looking on
the positive side. Because
no ones going to stop
watching TV, we have to
have viable alternatives
for kids, said Dr. Michael

A com-
prehensi ve
land infor-
mation book
of Oktibbe-
ha County
land parcels
will soon be
available for
the rst time
in nearly 20 years.
Copies of the Oktib-
beha County 2013 Plat
Directory, developed and
published locally by Spa-
tial Information Systems
Inc., go on sale Tuesday at
the Greater Starkville De-
velopment Partnership for
$60 per copy.
GSDP CEO Jennifer
Gregory said anyone in-
terested in owning land
in the county will nd the
reference book useful. De-
velopers growing interest
in the city and county, she
said, helped spur the need
for a comprehensive plat
reference.
The last time a land
information book of this
style was produced was in
1996.
Having an actual land
information book a phys-
ical copy is extremely
useful, not only for us but
also business developers
and owners, Gregory
said. This work aligns
for the rst time with the
county mapping system.
An updated version will
be published in four years,
and updates will continue
afterward, she said.
Plat maps included in
the book are organized
and numbered to match
ofcial land ownership
and tax maps for the coun-
ty. Those maps should
present information in-
cluding parcel owner
names, numbers and acre-
age measurements.
Oktibbeha Countys
directory is the rst pub-
lished reference in an on-
going SIS mapping project
for other counties across
the state, a press release
states.
We wanted to devel-
op mapping products and
services that matter to
the people of Mississippi
and found that among the
highest of mapping needs
for Mississippi are data
and products for land own-
ership information, SIS
President Chuck OHara
said in a release.

from our website
Possumhaw
Miracle in the Prairie
It all started
about three
days before.
The rains were
torrential and
the lake was so
full that most
of the center
stumps were
submerged.
Sam, I think
the spillway is
dammed up.
The water is
high.
After work Sam took the gator to the
spillway and sure enough a beaver had
dammed the fow again. In drizzling
rain Sam shoveled out the dam and
checked the beaver trap. No beaver.
Did you see Leah? I asked.
Leah is our domestic Pekin duck,
the lone survivor of three ducks.
Yes, she was out in the center of the
lake.
It was about 5:30 and getting dark.
I was becoming more confdent about
Leah. She had learned from the geese
to treat humans with suspect, to avoid
the bank while alone, and to swim to
the middle of the lake for safety.
Pekin ducks are large white fight-
less birds. They are social animals and
easy to care for. Ive spent hours watch-
ing her. She stretches tall and faps her
wings while skimming the top of the
water. More than once she has toppled
head over heels and bobbed up again. I
clap my hands and cheer at her efforts.
When she lost her two companions
I sat on the dock and sang, How much
is that ducky in the window, the one
with the cur-r- -ly tail? How much is that
ducky in the window, I do hope that she
is for sale. That seemed to calm one
of us.
The morning after breaking the
beaver dam, I went to the lake and
called for Leah. No Leah. I scanned the
horizon. No Leah. I walked the perim-
eter of the lake. No Leah. I went to
the dock and lay belly-down. I peered
upside down under the cabin but she
was not there.
I sat on the dock and grieved silent-
ly. The only words that came were,
The Lord gives and the Lord takes
away. Bless be the name of the Lord.
I soothed myself all day long with the
words. I told no one.
Ive learned it is not benefcial to
tell your husband bad news while he
is at work or when he walks through
the door at the end of the day. I greet
Sam with fresh brewed coffee, a snack
and hear about his day. Then I tell him
something like, The washing machine
broke today.
That day I told him that Leah was
gone and together we grieved. Sam
said Leah and her friends were some-
where swimming on that great crystal
sea.
Two days later I saw a white bundle
at the place where I leave Leah her
chop. I tore across the feld. Whatever
her condition I wanted her.
Leahs head popped up and she let
me get close. She ate two cups of chop.
I clapped my hands and cheered for
her.
The large white duck, the size of a
goose, had appeared out of nowhere.

Roses and thorns
Hal5702: How comical, you do realize Rick Stans-
bury is responsible for the dumpster-fre that is MSU
basketball now. The program had become a national
joke, how quickly the infghting, suspensions, and
inexplicable losses are forgotten. Stans made his bed
when he brought Renardo Sidney in.
I have to agree with you Hal5702, MSU basketball
went downhill under Stansbury. In my opinion, Stans-
bury should have been fred at least two years before.
MSU was on a downhill slide for a long time. Sidney
was just the lowest point in the valley. But, lets not
forget the lack of and missed communications involv-
ing Dee Bost, Phil Turner, Codi Augustus and others.
Look at how many players left the program after a
year or two under Stansbury.
Stansbury may be MSUs winningest coach, but
it is not because of greatness. It is because of tenure
and being able to schedule at least 10-12 guaranteed
patsies a year. In my opinion, MSU basketball will
never reach any serious prominence because the
standards for being successful is set so low. We are
considering a coach and his program as successful
and the last Final Four banner was hung 17 years
ago when Stansbury was an assistant coach. They
havent even made it to the Sweet 16 with Stansbury
at the helm. Personally, I would not label Stansbury
as a successful coach. He was mediocre for the most
part and less than mediocre in his last four or fve
years because he lost control of his teams. I was not
impressed with the success of Rick Stansbury.

Col-Voter: Quote by Mr. Prude; I want to contin-
ue my commitment to establish strong schools and
competitive students succeeding on a global level,
Prude wrote on his application. Strong schools equal
strong cities. So what has the school system shown
for his 14 years of service. A grade of F, potentially
leading to a take-over by the state and an extremely
high mileage rate that is not producing results.

in Lincoln, Neb., where he and his love moved for

strongly about the world, and what it tells him with
such fervor. Im glad to hear hes still growing strong
and stronger in his Southern clime .
torture
Facing up to what we did
in interrogations
I have neither the
time nor the inclination
to explain myself to
a man who rises and
sleeps under the blanket
of the very freedom
that I provide and then
questions the manner in
which I provide it.
Col. Nathan Jessep to
Lt. Daniel Kaffee
A Few Good Men
(1992)
You, said Jack Nicholsons
Jessep to Tom Cruises Kaffee,
have the luxury of not knowing
what I know. Viewers of the movie
Zero Dark Thirty will, accord-
ing to some informed persons,
lose the luxury of not knowing
about hard but morally defensi-
ble things done on their behalf.
Other informed persons, however,
say that viewers will be misled
because the movie intimates
(actually it is ambiguous about
this) a crucial role of enhanced
interrogation in extracting infor-
mation useful to tracking Osama
bin Laden.
In A Few Good Men, Col.
Jessep insists that a harsh and
proscribed training method (Code
Red ) saves lives: You [expletive]
people you have no idea how to
defend a nation. Zero Dark Thir-
ty explores the boundaries of the
permissible when defending not
a nation but this nation. Viewers
will know going in how the movie
ends. They will not know how they
will feel when seeing an American
tell a detainee, When you lie to
me I hurt you, and proceed to do
so.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chair-
man of the intelligence commit-
tee, and two colleagues have
denounced the movie as grossly
inaccurate and mis-
leading for its sug-
gestion that torture
produced information
that led to locating
bin Laden. But former
CIA director Michael
Hayden, while saying
there is no way to con-
frm that information
obtained by enhanced
interrogation was the
decisive intelligence
in locating bin Lad-
en, insists that such information
helped lead to bin Laden.
Former attorney general Mi-
chael Mukasey goes further: Kha-
lid Sheik Mohammed broke like
a dam under harsh techniques,
including waterboarding, and his
torrent of information included
the nickname of a trusted courier
of bin Laden, perhaps the one cen-
tral to the movies narrative.
In 2007, Hayden ended the use
of half the enhanced interroga-
tion techniques, including water-
boarding, because U.S. law, our
understanding of the threat and
our sources of information had
changed. He also says, however,
that such interrogations produced
half our knowledge of al-Qaedas
structure and activities.
In the end, everybody breaks,
bro, its biology, says the CIA man
in the movie, tactically but inaccu-
rately, to the detainee undergoing
enhanced interrogation. This too
familiar term has lost its capacity
for making us uneasy. Americas
Vietnam failure was foretold when
U.S. offcials began calling air
attacks on North Vietnam protec-
tive reaction strikes, a semantic
obfuscation that revealed moral
queasiness. The great enemy
of clear language is insincerity,
wrote George Orwell, who warned
about governments resorting to
long words and exhausted idioms,
like a cuttlefsh spurting out ink.
Viewers of Zero Dark Thirty
can decide whether or which en-
hanced interrogation measures
depicted, slaps, sleep deprivation,
humiliation, waterboarding, con-
stitute, in plain English, torture.
And they can ponder whether any
or all of them would be wrong even
if effective.
Mukasey says the phrase en-
hanced interrogation techniques
is so absurdly antiseptic as to im-
ply that it must conceal something
unlawful. Such harsh techniques
were, he says, used against fewer
than one-third of the fewer than
100 hard-core prisoners in CIA
custody.
The government properly co-
operated with the making of this
movie because the public needs
realism about the world we live in.
We live, says Col. Jessep, in a
world that has walls You want
me on that wall, you need me on
that wall. Regarding terrorism, the
problem is that we live in a world
without walls, without ramparts
that can be manned for the pur-
pose of repelling an invasion by a
massed enemy.
When the CIA woman who
drives the pursuit of bin Laden is
about to enter, for the frst time,
the room where enhanced inter-
rogation is administered, the CIA
man who administers it tells her,
Theres no shame if you want to
watch from the monitor. She, how-
ever, knows, and viewers of Zero
Dark Thirty will understand, it is
best to look facts, including choic-
es, in the face.

GRAPE-
VINE, Tex-
as The
F l o r i d a
p r i s o n e r
who es-
caped in
Texas after
stabbing a
de t e c t i v e
with his eyeglasses was
fatally shot early Satur-
day after refusing to co-
operate with ofcers and
lunging at them, police
said.
Alberto Morales was
shot in a wooded area of
Grapevine, a communi-
ty near the Dallas-Fort
Worth International Air-
port. It put an end to a
massive ve-day man-
hunt that started when
he escaped Monday from
a Wal-Mart parking lot
after attacking the Mi-
ami-Dade, Fla., detective.
Grapevine police Sgt.
Robert Eberling said at
a Saturday news con-
ference that ofcers in-
structed Morales to lie on
the ground and show his
hands, but he rushed to-
ward them. Morales, 42,
was unarmed at the time
of the shooting and was
not wearing handcuffs.
He was holding some
sticks, Eberling said.
He was very skilled
and crafty as far as mak-
ing makeshift edged
weapons inside the pris-
on. That was in the fore-
thoughts of the ofcers.
He was able to almost kill
an ofcer with some eye-
glasses, Eberling added.
Police said Morales
used a sharp piece from
his eyeglasses to stab
Miami-Dade Detective
Jaime Pardinas, who was
transferring him by car to
Nevada, where Morales
was to serve a sentence
of 30 years to life after be-
ing convicted of a sexual
assault.
Pardinas was treated
at a Dallas hospital for
deep stab wounds to the
neck, shoulder and back
and a collapsed lung.
Parkland Memorial Hos-
pital spokeswoman April
Foran said Pardinas was
released Saturday.
Two hours before Mo-
rales was shot, ofcers
responded to a report
that jewelry and mens
clothing had been sto-
len during a break-in at
a nearby home. Eber-
ling said Morales was
still wearing part of his
prison-issued jumpsuit
as well as jogging pants,
but couldnt comment on
whether the stolen cloth-
ing and jewelry were
found with him.
Pardinas was accom-
panied by Miami-Dade
Detective David Carrero
during the transfer. They
ew to Houston with Mo-
rales and then decided to
drive the rest of the way
after he became disrup-
tive on the ight. They
had stopped near the
store while waiting for a
third ofcer who was y-
ing to the Dallas area to
join them.

Abuse
On Feb. 5, Circuit Court
Judge Lee Coleman sen-
tenced Redden to ve
years, suspended the sen-
tence, and placed Redden
on unsupervised proba-
tion, despite the victims
pleas that her ex-husband
serve jail time.
Of the hundreds of
cases prosecuted by the
district attorneys ofce,
court ofcials believe it is
the rst time a judge has
ever handed down unsu-
pervised probation.
Colemans move to sen-
tence Redden to unsuper-
vised probation appears to
be a means of circumvent-
ing a state law that prohib-
its anyone who has been
on probation from being
placed on probation again
without serving jail time.
Redden was previously
convicted on a federal
charge of possessing gam-
bling machines, a felony.
During Reddens sen-
tencing, Coleman called
the abuse an abnormali-
ty and referenced the fact
that Redden is a business
owner and volunteers with-
in the community. Ginger
Redden produced medi-
cal records from other in-
stances where she claimed
Alan Redden abused her.
In the end, it made no
difference.
No jail time
Light sentences for se-
rious cases of domestic
abuse are not uncommon,
although Reddens case
represents the most le-
nient sentence possible.
Since 2010, seven
people have appeared in
Lowndes County Circuit
Court on the charge of ag-
gravated assault-domestic
violence. Four of the seven
served no jail time.
According to the Mis-
sissippi Coalition Against
Domestic Violence, Mis-
sissippi ranks second na-
tionally in domestic vio-
lence.
Assistant District At-
torney Lindsay Clemons,
who prosecuted the Red-
den case, is concerned
that the light sentence will
send a negative message
to other victims of domes-
tic violence.
For every woman that
reports the fact that shes
been the victim of do-
mestic violence, there are
countless others who do
not, Clemons said. My
fear is that women who are
in similar situations will
see this and decide there
is no point in coming for-
ward.
Clemons said that the
abusers status in the
community should not be
grounds for leniency.
You can be an upstand-
ing member of the commu-
nity and go home and beat
your spouse. Its an insid-
ious crime that happens
behind closed doors, she
said.
Reddens case is not the
only instance where Cole-
man has handed down a
light sentence. Since he
rst began serving on the
bench in January 2011, two
of the seven aggravated
assault-domestic violence
cases have gone before
Judge Coleman: Alan Red-
den and Ambrosha Bran-
don.
Brandon pleaded guilty
to the charge and received
a suspended sentence of
15 years. Brandon was also
sentenced to serve ve
years probation, pay court
cost and a $1,200 ne.
That sentencing serves
in stark contrast to Judge
Lee Howard. Two of those
seven cases were heard by
Howard.
In May 2010, Jeremiah
Douglass probation was
revoked after he commit-
ted aggravated assault-do-
mestic violence. Howard
sentenced Douglas to sev-
en years with MDOC and
ordered him to attend long
term anger management
classes while in custody.
The court also retained
jurisdiction of Douglas for
one year.
In August 2012,
Dominico Saddler pleaded
guilty. Howard sentenced
Saddler to 17 years with
MDOC, ve suspended,
with 12 to serve. Saddler
was also placed on ve
years post-release super-
vision and ordered to pay
court costs and a $1,000
ne.
Judge Jim Kitchens has
heard three of the seven
aggravated assault domes-
tic violence charges since
2010.
In November 2010,
Kitchens sentenced An-
drea Herod to ve years,
suspended the sentence,
and placed Herod on ve
years of probation with an
order to pay court costs
and a $200 ne.
In December 2010,
Kitchens sentenced Terry
Lee Truelove to 20 years
with MDOC as a habitual
offender, meaning he will
serve every day of his sen-
tence.
In December 2011,
Adam Swindoll pleaded
guilty to aggravated as-
sault-domestic violence.
Kitchens sentenced Swin-
doll to a suspended sen-
tence of 20 years with
MDOC, ve years proba-
tion and ordered to pay
court costs, approximately
$2,000 in restitution to the
victim and a $250 ne.
No supervision
Reddens case differs
from the other six in the
fact that he has unsuper-
vised probation. The oth-
er defendants must each
check in with MDOC to
ensure they are following
their probation guidelines.
If they violate their proba-
tion at any point, they will
have to serve the remain-
der of their sentence.
Since Redden does
not have to check in with
MDOC, there is no way to
guarantee he will abide by
his probation guidelines.
When questioned,
Judge Coleman declined
to comment on Reddens
sentencing.
Becky Sims, the board
president for the Missis-
sippi Coalition Against
Domestic Violence, said
light sentences are not un-
common.
Often times you have
a good law when its en-
forced properly and, for
some reason, it may not
be taken as seriously as
it should be, Sims said.
This does happen. The
horrible part about these
things is oftentimes, some-
body gets killed before a
proper response is given.
Thats been happening for
a long time. Unfortunately,
domestic violence is not
looked upon as a black-
and-white crime. There
seems to be personal feel-
ings involved or a gray
area. It is sometimes not
considered to be a true
crime like burglary.
Joyce Tucker, the di-
rector at local abuse shel-
ter Safe Haven, said she
hoped judges would view
domestic violence serious-
ly, regardless of the social
status of the offender.
Domestic violence is
serious, it doesnt matter
about a persons status
in the community, Tuck-
er said. We would hope
that everyone would take
domestic violence more
seriously, including law
enforcement and judges.
It can be deadly for those
involved.
Cases on the increase
Investigator Brett Wat-
son with the Oktibbeha
County Sheriffs Depart-
ment said the investiga-
tions division has been
handling more aggravat-
ed assault-domestic vio-
lence cases since the law
changed.
The law used to read
that aggravated assault
domestic violence was
limited to seriously bodi-
ly harm such as a bro-
ken bone or assault with
a deadly weapon. In the
past several years, stran-
gulation has been added to
the statute.
With that element
coming into play, more of
them are being treated
as felonies, Watson said.
We need to make the pub-
lic aware that the law now
includes choking as an ele-
ment of aggravated domes-
tic violence. Both potential
victims and perpetrators
need to be aware of that.
Safe Havens Tucker
said that she has worked
with local law enforcement
to teach them the signs of
domestic violence.
The CPD has allowed
us to come in and train
their ofcers on domestic
violence and to make sure
that those who are vic-
tims of domestic violence
know about the protective
order. The only thing a
victim has to do is ask law
enforcement and they will
assist them, she said.
However, what the
judges do is sometimes an-
other matter.
We would hope every-
one would take the com-
plaint of domestic violence
seriously and the sentenc-
ing would be fair, she said.
For those who are in
abusive relationships,
Tucker encourages them
to seek the help they need.
We encourage (the vic-
tim) to reach out to domes-
tic violence shelters. We
have a licensed profession-
al counselor on staff who
can assist them. If they
need emergency shelter
we have that as well, she
said.
The Safe Haven hot-line
number is 662-327-6040.
Consolidation
lis last week said state
House and Senate mem-
bers have a working
agreement to support
consolidation bills in Ok-
tibbeha and Clay counties
as they move through the
legislative process.
An amended version of
the Clay County consol-
idation bill Senate Bill
2637 also passed the
Senate and will be sent to
the House.
HB 716s amend-
ments would create the
Starkville Countywide
Municipal Separate
School District on July 1,
2015.
As the legislative pro-
cess continues, Trainer
said he would like to take
a lead role in generating
support for the bill and
examining positives that
would come from con-
solidation. While super-
visors have offered their
opinions on a merger,
Starkville School District
administrators have not
taken a formal stance on
the matter. Oktibbeha
County School District
Conservator Margie Pul-
ley has yet to approach
the topic in an open meet-
ing.
Based upon what is
currently at the table, I
think we are headed in
the right direction. I think
the room needs to focus
on the positives, Trainer
said Sunday. I see all the
benets behind it, and
those outweigh the nega-
tives. Thats the conversa-
tion we need to start hav-
ing in our community.
Both Ellis and state
Rep. Gary Chism, R-Co-
lumbus, say consolidation
is needed to provide a
strong educational sys-
tem for all county school-
children. Ellis says a con-
solidated school district
would not only increase
educational opportuni-
ties for all but would also
greatly impact the local
workforce and help stim-
ulate future economic de-
velopment.
If consolidation oc-
curs, SSD ofcials say
infrastructure, technolo-
gy and assessment gaps
between the two districts
must be dealt with as soon
as possible.
I think its impossi-
ble to legislate schools
and school districts from
Jackson, SSD Superin-
tendent Lewis Holloway
said last week. To get
better, the local commu-
nity has to be involved.
Thats how you improve a
school district the local
residents demand it.
Supervisors previous-
ly held an open forum
on school consolidation
Tuesday at the Oktibbeha
County Courthouse An-
nex. That meeting, mod-
erated by District 3 Su-
pervisor Marvel Howard,
allowed county residents
to voice their concerns
over the perceived lack of
representation the county
received in the develop-
ment of a school merger
bill.
Following Tuesdays
meeting, District 5 Super-
visor Joe Williams draft-
ed a resolution outlining
residents three main
concerns: a lack of repre-
sentation as a merger bill
was created, the need for
more local county repre-
sentation on a consolidat-
ed school board and the
need to establish a grace
period for graduation re-
quirements.
Those supervisors
who attended Tuesdays
meeting Howard, Train-
er and Williams all say
they are in favor of school
consolidation as long as
its done and funded prop-
erly.
Supervisors said they
would discuss the reso-
lution with Ellis as soon
as possible, but the bill
passed the House oor at
approximately 10:30 a.m.
Wednesday.
At the end of Tuesdays
meeting, the three super-
visors and approximate-
ly 20 meeting attendees
visited the Greensboro
Center for the remainder
of the SSD Board of Trust-
ees meeting.
City school board
member Lee Brand
agreed with county res-
idents concerns over a
lack of representation
and suggested all stake-
holders contact their rep-
resentatives about the
matter.
In other business, su-
pervisors are expected
to address a personnel
request from Coroner
Michael Hunt for an addi-
tional deputy coroner.
Hunt says a deputy cor-
oner is needed now that
the workload averages 25
cases per month. His cur-
rent deputy coroner, Les-
lie Strickland, received
a promotion with OCH
Regional Medical Center,
Hunt said, which will de-
crease her capacity with
the county.
Other similar-sized
counties usually employ
ve assistant coroners,
Hunt said.

BY MARK LONG
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
Danica Patrick is at her
best in the spotlight.
Good thing, too, because
shes going to be there all
week.
Patrick won the Daytona
500 pole Sunday, becoming
the rst woman to secure
the top spot for any race
in NASCARs premier cir-
cuit. Its by far the biggest
achievement of her stock-car
career. Shes braced for the
attention that will follow.
I think when pressures
on and when
the spotlights
on, I feel like
it ultimately
ends up be-
coming some
of my better
moments and
my better rac-
es and better
results, Patrick said. I just
understand that if you put
the hard work in before you
go out there that you can
have a little peace and a little
peace of mind knowing that
youve done everything you
can and just let it happen.
Patrick, who taped inter-
views Sunday with CNN,
ESPN and Good Morning
America, was the rst wom-
an to lead laps in the India-
napolis 500. She nished
third in 2009, the highest
nish in that illustrious race
for a woman. And she be-
came the only woman to win
an IndyCar race when she
did it in Japan in 2008.
Her latest stamp in the
history books came with a
lap at 196.434 mph around
Daytona International
Speedway. Patrick went out
eighth in the qualifying ses-
sion, then had to wait about
two hours as 37 fellow driv-
ers tried to take her spot.
Only four-time Cup cham-
pion Jeff Gordon even came
close to knocking her off the
pole. Gordon was the only
other driver who topped 196
mph in qualifying. He locked
up the other guaranteed spot
in next weeks season-open-
ing Daytona 500.
Its great to be a part of
history with Danica being

INSIDE THE GAMES
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: Left-handed
pitcher Luis Pollorena. After tossing the
nal 2/3 innings in a 7-1 victory in game
one, Pollorena pitched 4 1/3 scoreless
innings in relief of starting pitcher Will
Cox to help MSU sweep the University of
Portland 6-0. Pollorena had six strikeouts,
which was one shy of his career high, in
just 66 pitches.
KEY MOMENT: In the eighth inning of
game two, MSU scored four runs to
eliminate the possibility of having to use
sophomore closer Jonathan Holder twice in
the weekend series. The Bulldogs
nearly batted around with RBI hits by junior
outelder Demarcus Henderson, senior
designated hitter Trey Porter, and junior
outelder Hunter Renfroe.
KEY HIT: Shortstop Adam Frazier
followed Jacob Robsons RBI single to left
eld with a RBI triple by Frazier in game
one.

Chipper back in Braves camp, but hes not coming back
BY PAUL NEWBERRY
KISSIMMEE, Fla. Chipper
Jones was lingering beyond the
left-eld wall, signing as many
autographs as he could, when
someone asked the obvious ques-
tion.
Do you miss it yet?
Jones was quick with a reply.
No, he said, not too much.
Jones has reported to camp
with the Atlanta Braves, but dont
get too excited about seeing No.
10 in that familiar uniform. There
are no plans for a comeback. If
anything, hes surprised at just
how little he misses the game
that was such a big part of his life.
Hes kept himself more than
busy (just check out his Twit-
ter account!), from starting up
business ventures to running
his ranch, from a new romantic
relationship to spending time
with his kids, from working the
banquet circuit to enjoying the
solitude of hunting.
Im having fun, Jones said
Sunday, while walking across
the outeld at Champion Stadi-
um, the spring training home of
the Braves. Its kept my mind
off things pretty much. I thought
this week would probably be a
little more difcult than it has
been. But, you know, I really ha-
vent had the urge to put the uni-
form on again.
That, he went on, lets me
know I made the right decision.
I had my time. Now, its their
time.
Jones will suit up as a special
instructor until Wednesday. He
still believes he has something to
offer, but cringed when his former
teammates called him coach.
I wouldnt really say Im a
coach, Jones said, even as some-
one else walked by and shouted
it at him. Im more of a ... well,
I dont know what you would call
me. But I dont like being called
a coach. I dont think Im quite to
that extent yet. This is just kind
of a carryover from mentoring
these guys when we were play-
ing. And thats not going to stop
just because Im not playing.
He still ts right in.
When Jason Heyward and
Justin Upton walked into the bat-
ting cages, Jones shouted, All
right, here come the big dogs! A
short time later, the 40-year-old
plopped down on a bench next
to Heyward, chatting up the out-
elder who is nearly two decades
his junior.
Theyve got to schedule a day
to retire your jersey, Heyward
said, breaking into a big smile.
It better not be one of those get-
away night games.

BY MATTHEW STEVENS

STARKVILLE Every time the bull-
pen door opened at Dudy Noble Field
this weekend, a new problem arose for
the University of Portland baseball team.
Mississippi State University relievers
capped a dominating weekend Sunday,
allowing one run on six hits in 8 2/3
innings in 7-1 and 6-0 victories against
the University of Portland. MSU (4-0)
completed the season-opening sweep
of Portland thanks to 10 relievers who
combined to give up one run in 15 2/3
innings in four games. Six pitchers had
multiple strikeouts, including senior left
hander Luis Pollorena, junior Ben Brace-
well, and sophomore closer Jonathan
Holder. Pollorena had one strikeout in
2/3 of an inning in game one. He went 4
1/3 innings in game two, allowing three
hits and two walks. He struck out six.
When you have as many arms in the
bullpen as we do, you can run them out
any time you want to, MSU senior catch-
er Mitch Slauter said. Its pretty dang
hard to get into a rhythm when you keep
running people out of that bullpen that is
just as good, if not better.
The performance by the bullpen
helped MSU to its third 4-0 start under
coach John Cohen.

STARKVILLE The second half
again proved to be the undoing for the
Mississippi State University womens
basketball team.
After a solid rst half and an aggres-
sive urry to start the nal 20 minutes,
MSU hit only three eld goals in a
nine-minute stretch en route to a 63-41
loss to LSU before a crowd of 1,405 at
Humphrey Coliseum.
Danielle Ballard had a game-high
19 points to go with seven rebounds
and four steals to help LSU (15-10, 6-6
Southeastern Conference) earn its rst
back-to-back league victories this sea-
son. It also marked the rst time the
Lady Tigers have won back-to-back
games on the road.
Carnecia Williams (13 points, eight
rebounds) was the only player in dou-
ble gures for MSU (11-14, 3-9), which
lost its second-straight game after a
two-game winning streak. Like in a
65-51 loss to the University of Missis-
sippi on Thursday, MSU allowed the
game to slip away in the second half.
LSU outscored MSU 35-16 and held it
to a season-low 18.8 percent (6 of 32)
in the second half. The Bulldogs shot
24.6 percent (15 of 61) for the game,
their second-worst percentage of the
season, and the fourth time this season
they have shot under 30 percent. It also
marked the eighth time this season
MSU has scored 47 points or less in a
SEC game, and tied for the second-low-
est output in a league game this season.
It was just lack of execution, said
MSU junior guard Candace Foster,
who had a career-high four points and
matched her career-high with three as-
sists in her eighth start of the season.
I think we just kind of started rushing
things because the point decit began
to expand on a little bit, so we just tried
to get ourselves back in the game.

Softball team sweeps doubleheader
STARKVILLE The Mississippi State University softball team
defeated Murray State University 4-1 and Lipscomb University 6-3
Sunday at the MSU Softball Field on the final day of the Bulldog
Battle.
Junior Logan Foulks hit in the bottom of the 10th inning of the
second game helped MSU improve to 6-3.
We learned a lot about ourselves this weekend, MSU coach
Vann Stuedeman said. Its exciting to see how much and how
quickly were growing up and gelling as a team.
MSU had 28 strikeouts Sunday, including a school-record 21
in game two. The total was one shy of tying the Southeastern Con-
ference single-game record, set by the University of Tennessee in
2007 against the University of Florida.
For the first time since 1998, MSU had a pitcher fan 14 in
a game. Alison Owen tied the school record in game two on 76
pitches (61 strikes).
The 10-inning game tied for the longest game in school history
(by inning, done 14 times).
In game one, senior Kylie Vry and freshman Jacey Punches
combined to strike out seven and walk none. Vry (1-1) earned the
victory, while Punches secured her first career save.
Senior Jessica Cooley was 2-for-2 with a career-high two dou-
bles and an RBI. Fellow senior Shelby Fisher tallied a season-high
two hits and drove in her first run, while sophomore Julia Echols
drove in two.
Using international tiebreaker rules in the 10th inning of game
two, Foulks hit up the middle to scored classmate Jessica Offutt
for the walk-off victory.
MSU had 12 hits, including multiple-hit efforts from junior Heidi
Shape (2-for-4, two runs, walk), Lenahan (3-for-4, two RBIs, run),

Ole Miss
Baseball team completes sweep of TCU
OXFORD Stuart Turners first hit as a member of the Uni-
versity of Mississippi baseball team Sunday was a memorable one.
The junior catchers grand slam in the first inning helped power
No. 14 Ole Miss (3-0) to 5-2 victory Sunday against No. 12 Texas
Christian University at Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field.
The Rebels (3-0) won 1-0 Friday night and 5-2 Saturday to set
up the sweep.
Trailing 1-0 after the top of the first, Turner delivered a two-out
shot to left field to propel the Rebels to a 4-1 lead.
Chris Ellis (1-0) earned the victory in his second career start,
and first outing as a weekend starter. The sophomore, who was on
a pitch count, went four innings and allowed one run on two hits.
He walked three and struck out three as the designated pitcher of
record.
Senior Tanner Bailey picked up his first save working the
final 1 1/2 innings. He gave up one hit and struck out two. The
right-hander entered the game in the eighth inning with a man on
second and one out and retired the next two batters
TCU took a 1-0 lead in the top half of the first when Jantzen
Witte hit a solo shot to left field. Ellis then struck out Kevin Cron
and Jerrick Suiter around a walk of Derek Odell to get the Rebels
out of the inning.
Turners shot scored Austin Anderson, Auston Bousfield, and
Sikes Orvis. Anderson reached on a one-out walk before Bousfield
singled through the left side to put two men on. TCU got the sec-
ond out with a strikeout of Will Allen before Orvis drew the Rebels
second walk to load the bases.
Ole Miss added to the lead in the fourth on Andersons RBI
double to left center that scored Tanner Mathis, who reached on a
two-out single to left.
TCU cut the lead to 5-2 in the sixth with a groundout to third
from Odell that scored Witte home. TCU loaded the bases with two
outs in the seventh, but sophomore Scott Weathersby responded
out of the pen to retire the first batter faced on a groundout and
keep the Horned Frogs off the board. Bailey then entered the game
in the eighth with the leadoff man on second and kept the Horned
Frogs off the board the rest of the way.
Ole Miss will play host to the University of Tennessee-Martin
at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Womens basketball team loses to South Carolina: At
Columbia, S.C., Valencia McFarland and Tia Faleru combined for
30 points Sunday, but the womens basketball team lost to No. 14
University of South Carolina 62-47.
With the loss, Ole Miss fell to 9-16 and 2-10 in the Southeast-
ern Conference, while South Carolina improved to 21-5 and 9-4
SEC. McFarland scored 16 points, six rebounds, and four assists,
while Faleru had 14 points and seven rebounds. Ole Miss shot 31.4
percent (16 of 51) from the field, while South Carolina shot 39.4
percent (26 of 66).
McFarland had eight of her points in the first half, but South
Carolina led 29-15 at halftime. Ole Miss used an 8-0 run capped
by a layup from Courtney Marbra to cut the deficit to 29-23 with 18
minutes, 55 seconds left to play. The Gamecocks responded and
used an 11-2 run to push the lead back to 40-25 with 16:30 to play.
Ole Miss will play at 7 p.m. Thursday at Texas A&M University.
Softball team beats Jackson State: At Mobile, Ala.,
Freshman designated player Madi Osias drove in four runs, and
junior pitcher Carly Hummel struck out nine as the Ole Miss softball
team (4-7) defeated Jackson State 10-2 in six innings Sunday
morning at the Mardi Gras Invitational.
Osias, who opened the tournament against Lamar University
with her first collegiate victory as a pitcher, finished it as a desig-
nated player with her first collegiate home run, a three-run shot
over the left-field wall. Osias went 3-for-4 with four RBIs and one
run scored.
Hummel went all six innings, allowing four hits and two runs
while striking out nine, a season-high.
Brown had two doubles, and has now hit a double in five
straight games. In those five games, Brown has notched six
doubles, and her nine doubles on the season are one shy of her
2012 season total.
RT Cantillo went 2-for-3 with three runs scored, a double, one
RBI, and a walk. She also had a career-high three stolen bases.
Ole Miss will play host to the University of Southern Mississip-
pi in a doubleheader at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Mens tennis team beats Mississippi State: At Seattle,
For the second time in less than two weeks, the No. 12 mens ten-
nis team faced No. 10 Mississippi State, this time Sunday in their
final match at the ITA National Team Indoors Sunday. The Rebels
got revenge for their loss in the River Hills Mississippi Cup, taking
down the Bulldogs (8-2) 4-2 at the Seattle Tennis Club.
The win snaps a four-match losing streak for the Rebels in the
series, and helps them conclude the weekend 2-1.
After a huge win at No. 2 doubles to take the opening point,
the Rebels earned straight set victories in singles from Nik Scholtz
at one, Stefan Lindmark at five, and the clincher from Adrian
Forberg Skogeng at six.
In the previous meeting this season, Ole Miss lost the doubles
point. Scholtz and Jonas Lutjen, ranked No. 16, defeated 13th-
ranked Malte Stropp and Jordan Angus 8-4 at No. 1.
After MSU won the No. 3 match 8-4, William Kallberg was
serving to give the Rebels the doubles at 7-6 on court two. Unfor-
tunately, MSUs Zach White and Ethan Wilkinson broke to force a
tiebreaker. The 25th-ranked Reb tandem lost the first two points
and then won seven straight to clinch the doubles.
In three prior meetings this year, Scholtz, ranked No. 16, and
Bogaerts, ranked No. 19, had gone three sets twice. Bogaerts had
won the two indoor meetings, but Scholtz won 6-4, 6-2 to put the
Rebels ahead 2-1. Lindmark defeated Stefan Vinti 6-4, 6-1 at court
five to push the lead to 3-1.
Two of the three remaining matches went three sets just like
they did in Jackson. MSUs James Chaudry defeated 40th-ranked
Kallberg 6-0, 1-6, 6-2 on court three to cut into the lead.
Forberg Skogeng won a key first set tiebreaker 7-6 (5) against
White, while Lutjen and Stropp headed to a third set for the second
time in two weeks at No. 2 singles. With those two locked at 2-2
in the third, Forberg Skogeng made sure it wouldnt be necessary,
taking the second set against White 6-3 to clinch the victory.
Ole Miss will play host to the University of Memphis at 2 p.m.
Feb. 26 at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center, while MSU will play
host to Samford University at 11 a.m. Saturday.
Womens tennis team defeats Washington: At Oxford,
the No. 26 ranked womens tennis team bounced back from a dis-
appointing loss on Friday to beat No. 39 University of Washington
6-1 Sunday at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center.
With the victory, the Rebels improve to 2-3, while Washington
falls to 6-3. The Rebels took the opening doubles point and then
secured singles wins from Erin Stephens, Julia Jones, and Mai El
Kamash.
Ole Miss will play host to No. 16 University of Virginia at noon
Saturday.

Golf
By The Associated Press
PALM CITY, Fla. President Barack
Obama teed it up with Tiger Woods on Sun-
day.
The White House conrmed the President
and the worlds most famous golfer played a
round at a secluded, exclusive yacht and golf
club on Floridas Treasure Coast.
Once the sports dominant player before
his career was sidetracked by scandal, Woods
joined Obama at the Floridian, where Obama
is spending the long Presidents Day week-
end. The two had met before, but Sunday was
the rst time they played together.
The White House, which has promised
to be the most open and transparent in his-
tory, has prohibited any media coverage of
Obamas golf outing.
The foursome also included Jim Crane, a
Houston businessman who owns the Florid-
ian and baseballs Houston Astros, and out-
going U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk,
a former mayor of Dallas, said White House
spokesman Josh Earnest. Crane and Kirk
also were part of Obamas foursome on Satur-
day, the White House said.
Obama, an avid golfer, also received some
instruction Saturday and played a few holes
with Butch Harmon, Woods former swing
coach.
Initial word that the First Duffer would
play a round with the worlds No. 2 player
didnt come from the White House, but in-
stead came from veteran golf journalist Tim
Rosaforte, who announced it on Twitter. Ro-
safortes late-morning tweet said: The presi-
dent is arriving at the Floridian range. Await-
ing is Tiger Woods and club owner Jim Crane.
Historic day in golf. Their rst round.

Continued from Page 1B
coaching staff believes is a change-
up equalizer that will allow him to
be a better long relief option.
The thing with our club this
year, and we say it over and over, is
pitching and defense, MSU coach
John Cohen said. The difference
this year is the amount of experi-
ence we have back up and down the
order.
Pollorena (1-0) was one shy of
his career high in strikeouts in 66
pitches in game two. Former Amory
High School standout Will Cox went
the rst three innings, allowing
three hits and two walks. He struck
out two. The 5-foot-9 Pollorena was
hit hard last week in his nal split-
squad scrimmage.
I felt like Id react well when the
season started because I came in to
throw to the square in the nets and
then watched video tape, Pollorena
said. Getting shelled in the last out-
ing before the season was the best
thing that could happen to me.
Before the start of last season,
MSU reported to Baseball America
it had 13 pitchers who could throw
90 mph or better. The Bulldogs
have lost only rst-round draft pick
Chris Stratton from that group.
We have so many kids on our
pitching staff that just say, Hey,
whats going to help us get to the
next level and Ill do it, Cohen said.
From the moment I got to Mis-
sissippi State, this is what we have
wanted to create is having a men-
tor situation. Have the older guy
instructing the younger guys. As a
player at Mississippi State, I know
what that felt like.
Ross Mitchell, who had 24 relief
appearances last season, allowed
just one hit in the sixth inning to
earn his rst victory of the season,
and fourth career victory Saturday.
The right-left-right relief com-
bination of Bracewell, C.T. Brad-
ford from center eld, and Holder
worked a perfect nal three innings
Saturday in a 2-1 victory. In the past
three seasons MSU is 71-1 in games
it has led after eight innings.
Ben Bracewell has had a huge
spring, and in both velocity wise
and stuff wise, pitch ability wise
he has been special, Cohen said.
That could be an element that puts
you over the top is an experienced
Ben Bracewell that can give you two
outings in a weekend on a Friday
and a Sunday.
After being named a Freshman
All-American by numerous publi-
cations, Holder could have asked
to be a starting pitcher this season,
but the Gulfport High standout told
the coached early in the fall he pre-
ferred to be a closer. He earned his
10th career save Saturday, and has
allowed just one earned run in 30
innings.
The sophomore right-hander lost
nearly 20 pounds in the offseason
and should be able to handle a big-
ger load this season. That should
be welcome news to Cohen and his
coaches as the Bulldogs try to re-
place Caleb Reed.
I love (the closer role), and I just
gave a speech to the team about
adrenaline and coming in the last
inning to get just a few outs gets me
going, Holder said.
Kendall Graveman earned the
victory in game one. He went the
rst 6 1/3 innings and surrendered
two hits and walked four. He struck
out four. Trevor Fitts allowed two
hits, one run, and walked two in two
innings.
John Marc Shelly allowed one hit
in one inning to close the door on
MSUs bullpen effort.
MSU women
Schaefer attributed the lineup
change to spotty point guard play
of late and for issues leading up the
game he wasnt pleased with. The
Bulldogs tried to use other perimeter
threats against LSUs zone defense,
which stretched to the wings to cov-
er shooters like Darriel Gaynor (2 of
7, six points) and Jessy Ward (0 of
6, zero points). Ward played 17 min-
utes, her second-most this season,
and second time she has reached
double digits in the SEC.
All of that came on the heels of
a disappointing loss to Ole Miss in
which the Rebels held a 38-16 edge
and limited the Bulldogs to 24.1 per-
cent shooting in the second half.
The rst half, I thought we were
very competitive and I thought it was
a very competitive game, Schaefer
said. In the second half, it got away
from us. I didnt think we were ready
to come out of the gate. That is my
fault for keeping them in the locker
room too long. You have to give LSU
credit. I think they are playing on a
mission and with an NCAA tourna-
ment bid on their mind.
While MSU has delivered sim-
ilar shooting performances in the
second half in the past two games,
Schaefer said the consistent lev-
el of effort and intensity his team
showed in victories against the Uni-
versity of Arkansas and the Univer-
sity of Missouri has been missing.
Schaefer appreciated the effort of
Carnecia Williams, who matched
her season-high with 36 minutes,
and Sherise Williams (ve points,
six rebounds in 24 minutes).
Carnecia Williams scored inside
to cut LSUs lead to 33-29 with 17
minutes, 6 seconds left in the game.
LSU slowly pulled away and capital-
ized on MSUs cold shooting. Mays
driving basket at the 15:29 mark
was the only eld goal the Bulldogs
hit until the 10:10 mark. By then,
LSU had pushed its lead to 50-34.
MSU didnt hit another eld goal
until Williams scored inside with
6:34 to go. She also hit the teams
nal eld goal of the half with 59.5
seconds left.
It is just focus, Grant said. I
feel like the rst Ole Miss game,
the Arkansas game, the Missouri
game, we were all on the same page
and connected. I am not saying we
lost it, but were not where we were.
The next couple of days we have to
get that focus back in practice and
practice hard because the way we
practice is the way we play.

you like to see.

D
EAR ABBY:
My boyfriend
of one year,
Eddie, has been
invited to the wed-
ding of a waitress
who works at a
restaurant/bar he
frequents. I was
not invited. Eddie
doesnt dance
and has slow
danced with me
only once. When
I told him I would
not appreciate
him slow dancing
with anyone there,
we had a heated
argument. Eddie told me I have
no right to tell him what to do
and that Im trying to control
him.
I have run this by many peo-
ple male and female and
they all say its inappropriate
to slow dance with anyone but
your signifcant other, especial-
ly when shes not present.
I feel Eddie has little regard
for my feelings. If he really
cared for me, he wouldnt want
to dance with anyone else. I am
interested in your thoughts.
HIS ONLY DANCE PARTNER
DEAR HIS ONLY: If you
would like to graduate from
girlfriend to fancee, you will
stop trying to control him and
tell him you hope he has a
good time at the wedding.
Insecurity is not an attrac-
tive trait, so calm down and
recognize that a dance is only
a dance. From your description
of Eddies lack of
ability, I seriously
doubt he will be
a sought-after
partner on any
dance foor.
DEAR ABBY:
Our two children
(ages 4 and
1 year) have
hyphenated last
names. It works
well and the
names sound
elegant together.
My husband
and I have made
this known in the
family and have
discussed it when asked about
it by various family members.
However, over the last four
years our choice has been
ignored by two relatives from
separate sides of our family.
They persist in using only my
husbands last name for corre-
spondence and gifts. He has
suggested returning the mail as
addressee unknown, which
I think might come across as
rude.
Is there any way of having
our children addressed cor-
rectly by relatives who seem
to want to ignore their real
names? NEW YORK MOMMY
DEAR MOMMY: Before
doing it your husbands way,
try this: Have another chat with
the non-compliant relatives,
who may come from a different
generation. Explain that you
gave your children hyphenated
last names for a reason that
you want to be equally repre-
sented and the omission of
your name hurts your feel-
ings. If that doesnt work, then
go to back to plan A because
you dont want your children to
be confused.
DEAR ABBY: My wife and I
will be married 25 years and
have three children. In my
family, my dad was the boss.
I always was, too, but never
was involved very much with
the kids. My wife never really
complained about it. She just
wanted to keep the family
together.
Now that the kids are gone,
I realize I should have been a
better husband. She mostly ig-
nores me and spends her time
with the kids and going places.
I feel left out. She doesnt even
want to celebrate our upcoming
25th. Should we? I know my
dad drank a lot, and now I fnd
myself thinking often about
how it must have been for my
mom back then. REGRET-
TING IN ILLINOIS
DEAR REGRETTING: Ask
your wife why she doesnt
think that 25 years of marriage
is something to celebrate,
because it should be. She may
spend her time with the kids
and going places because that
is what she HAS been doing for
all these years.
There is still time for you to
mend this marriage, provided
you are both willing to work on
it. However, it may take the ser-
vices of a marriage counselor
to break the ice.

Dear Abby
Dear Abby
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Feb.
18). Youre a love magnet,
and youll fnd it tough to sort
out your scheduling because
everyone wants to spend time
with you at once. Take a calcu-
lated fnancial risk this month.
March brings the rejuvenation
of an old relationship. Youll
put on a show in April. May
unites your family. Wedding
bells ring in September. Leo
and Cancer people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1,
23, 38 and 14.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Once you break down a
task into manageable chunks,
youll discover that your chal-
lenges are not really that hard.
You are absolutely capable of
meeting the goal posts you
projected at the beginning.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). The left-brain-dominant
people will misunderstand the
right-brain-dominant people.
Now able to swing freely from
one mode to another, youll
be the translator who helps
everyone get along.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). Sometimes things slip
from your mouth that you
didnt intend to say, especially
around people you like. Its a
function of being comfortable,
and its nothing to worry too
much about.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Today will be an elaborate
game of advance and retreat.
Choose your tactic, and
another person will naturally
fall into the opposite role. So
would you rather chase or be
chased?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Youll give freely to the one
who gives freely to you. Youll
also give to people who are
not likely to give back, and
thats fne, too. In many ways,
its even more satisfying be-
cause you sense there is real
need there.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You may feel that youre wound
too tight, but this is just the
adrenaline rush you need to
have a highly productive day.
Your nervous energy is put to
good use through cleaning,
building or growing things.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Your personal happiness is
not governed by the actions of
another. You know best what
you need to do to squeeze
maximum enjoyment from a
situation, and youre gloriously
self-suffcient now, too.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Justice demands total im-
partiality. You may not be the
right one to deliver justice in a
situation involving your loved
ones. To avoid favoritism, get
the opinion of an outsider.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Someone loves you
and loves you completely. You
are much harder on yourself
than this person ever would
be. If you could see yourself
the way this person sees
you, you would be kinder to
yourself.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). There really are very few
things you need, so wherever
possible, reduce your needs to
wants. Needing causes you to
hand over your power. Wanting
puts you back in charge.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You like attention, but not
when it comes with pressure.
For instance, youll avoid peo-
ple who seem to want you to
give their lives meaning. Thats
too much responsibility!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Happiness lends a cha-
risma thats hard to beat. Its
better than beauty or riches.
You know this to be true, so
you smile whether or not you
feel like it. Soon your insides
match your mouth.
Horoscopes
Patrick
fastest guy. I think we all
know how popular she is,
what this will do for our
sport. Congratulations to
her. Proud to be on there
with her.
The rest of the feld
will be set in duel qualify-
ing races Thursday.
However the lineup
unfolds, all drivers in-
cluding boyfriend Ricky
Stenhouse Jr. will line
up behind Patricks No. 10
Chevrolet SS.
I was brought up to
be the fastest driver, not
the fastest girl, she said.
That was instilled in me
from very young, from
the beginning. Then I
feel like thriving in those
moments, where the pres-
sures on, has also been a
help for me. I also feel like
Ive been lucky in my ca-
reer to be with good teams
and have good people
around me. I dont think
any of it would have been
possible without that.
Ive been lucky
enough to make history,
be the frst woman to do
many things. I really just
hope that I dont stop do-
ing that. We have a lot
more history to make. We
are excited to do it.
