Board weighs intersection changes BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Board of Aldermen agreed Tuesday to reconsider plans to eliminate Liddon Lake Road as an intersecting point at the U.S. Highway 72 and South Parkway intersection in an upcoming road project.

A resident of Liddon Lake Road and a representative of nearby business AutoZone stated opposition to the plan in Tuesday’s meeting. Resident Tommy Case presented a petition containing the signatures of about 30 residents of the road who do not want the

change. As originally proposed, the project would include the addition of a right turn lane for South Parkway on the north side of the intersection. Liddon Lake Road would no longer terminate at the intersection, and a new cut-through road near

AutoZone would connect Liddon Lake Road with the highway. Case said residents feel the the street is safe as it is, and they are concerned the change would interfere with emergency vehicles’ access to the road. “We like our situation there,

and we’d like to keep it safe,” he said. “We would appreciate it if y’all would leave it like it is.” Terrell Hudson, a district manager for Autozone, said the business is concerned that it would create an unsafe situaPlease see BOARD | 3A

The Shiloh Road Farmers Market will open for the season next week. Monday is opening day for the market on Shiloh Road near First Presbyterian Church, which owns the property. At this early point in the season, “We are probably

going to see a lot of greens, turnips and maybe some onions,” said Patrick Poindexter, county director with the Mississippi State University Extension Service. With locally grown produce, the market, which began more than 40 years ago, often attracts big crowds. Please see MARKET | 2A

Corinth grandfather, 63, Walks for Life Saturday BY JERIS HAMM For the Daily Corinthian

As a cancer survivor, Roger Turner knows life hangs on a string. That’s why he’ll be lacing up his tennis shoes this Saturday. The 63-year-old Corinth man has battled throat and nasal cancer for 38 years, but it won’t stop him from walking two miles in the upcoming Walk for Life, a fundraiser for Oasis Medical Center. “It’s for a good cause,” Turner said, nodding his enthusiasm. “Anything to do with kids, he’s all over it,” Turner’s wife, Cheryl, added. Oasis Medical Center (formerly Resource Center for Women) offers support and information for

women and men experiencing an unplanned pregnancy. All funds raised this year will go toward providing limited OB ultrasound services. The Turners first learned of the Center’s ministry at Tate Baptist Church, where they have been members since 2001. “During fellowship time at church, Roger takes a big bag of candy for the children. All of the kids come around him,” Cheryl said. “We found out about the Walk in our church bulletin. As soon as we got home from church he started texting everyone to ask them for help.” Please see TURNER | 2A

So far, the father of six, grandfather of 16, and greatgrandfather of four, has raised over a $1,000. He’s definitely a frontrunner among Walk participants, but fellow church member, Matt Mitchell, is giving him a run for the money. “There’s a little friendly competition going on,” Cheryl said with a smile. “But I want Roger to win.” Although Matt Mitchell is a tough opponent, Turner has donations coming in from his banker and pharmacist, plus relatives in five states. “He’s got family and friends everywhere,” Cheryl said. “And the donations just started coming in.” Turner will physically walk the two-mile course, even

MARKET though he’s endured two jaw replacements. He’s been treated for cancer at West Clinic since August of 2010. “I’m just proud of him,” Cheryl added. “He’s determined he’ll do the full two miles. Some people who experience tough times might be bitter or hard, but Roger’s still all about giving.” Although it’s a challenge to talk through his tracheotomy, Roger Turner has communicated his love for babies and children as loudly as a red-faced newborn. “I’m the voice from his heart, “ Cheryl said. “His personality comes across without words. He’s a loving person.” To support Roger, email him at crturner2010@yahoo.com. The Walk for Life is Saturday at Crossroads Regional Park. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., walking starts at 9:00

a.m. Walkers ask supporters to sponsor them with a one-time tax-deductible pledge for the two-mile walk. Walkers do not have to collect the pledges. Oasis Medical Center will do that by mail. Top Walker and Top Team will be announced prior to the Walk on Saturday morning. For more information, contact Martha Jobe at 662-2878001. Oasis Medical Center also offers pregnancy testing and verification, parenting classes, and help with clothing and baby-care essentials. Testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections is also available. (Jeris Hamm is an Oasis Medical Center board member and freelance writer living in Ramer, Tenn.)

The outlook is favorable for a good selection in the coming months. “We should have a good growing year,” said Poindexter, although “we were slower getting some things in the ground due to cold weather and rain.” One grower reported a robust cabbage crop numbering 600. Poindexter cautioned that growers should keep an eye on the forecast for a cold night coming later this week — a low of about 37 degrees is forecast for Friday. The fee continues to be $10 for growers to set up and sell their items. Permits are available through the extension office. The market usually operates until November.

The Fulton Drive Farmers Market, which is overseen by a board operating independently of the Shiloh Farmers Market, is now open yearround and has a permit fee of $25. The rules of the Fulton market require participating producers to be residents of Alcorn, Tishomingo, Prentiss or Tippah counties. Tennessee counties are excluded. Construction of a covered shed for the Fulton market is pending. The decision to open the Fulton market all year reflects the increasing availability of items such as “hot house” tomatoes at “off” times of the year. About 65 producers participate in the two local markets each year. For more information, contact the extension office at 286-7755.

Shooting suspect remains in custody

Today in history

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Today is Wednesday, April 17, the 107th day of 2013. There are 258 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 17, 1961, some 1,500 CIA-trained Cuban exiles launched the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in an attempt to topple Fidel Castro, whose forces crushed the incursion by the third day. On this date: In 1492, a contract was signed by Christopher Columbus and a representative of Spain’s King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, giving Columbus a commission to seek a westward ocean passage to Asia. In 1861, the Virginia State Convention voted to secede from the Union. In 1969, a jury in Los Angeles convicted Sirhan Sirhan of assassinating Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. The First Secretary of Czechoslovakia’s Communist Party, Alexander Dubcek, was deposed. In 1970, Apollo 13 astronauts James A. Lovell, Fred W. Haise and Jack Swigert splashed down safely in the Pacific, four days after a ruptured oxygen tank crippled their spacecraft while en route to the moon. In 1993, a federal jury in Los Angeles convicted two former police officers of violating the civil rights of beaten motorist Rodney King; two other officers were acquitted. Turkish President Turgut Ozal died at age 66. In 1997, former Israeli president Chaim Herzog died in Tel Aviv at 78.

Corinth police on Tuesday were close to filing charges in a Friday shooting. The victim, Damichael Quantez Morrison, 23, of Johns Street, was treated for two gunshot wounds to the leg, said De-

tective Capt. Ralph Dance. A person of interest is being held with a likely charge of aggravated assault and possibly other felony charges pending. Alcorn 911 received a call of multiple shots fired on Cemetery Street and then a call of a subject shot at 1319 Meigg St.

Dance said the suspect pulled out a handgun and fired shots at the victim as he chased him. They ran between some houses on Cemetery Street and jumped a couple of fences before the chase came to an end. Dance said the victim was not able to identify the assailant, but

police obtained a description from several witnesses that led to the person of interest. The victim told police he did not know why the man pulled a gun on him. Detective Dell Green is investigating the case.

Letter to Wicker tests for ricin Luke Doehner resigns Associated Press

WASHINGTON — An envelope addressed to Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi tested positive Tuesday for ricin, a potentially fatal poison, authorities said, heightening concerns about terrorism a day after a bombing killed three and left more than 170 injured at the Boston Marathon. One senator, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, said authorities have

a suspect in the fastmoving ricin case, but she did not say if an arrest had been made. She added the letter was from an individual who frequently writes lawmakers. Shennell S. Antrobus, a spokesman for the U.S. Capitol Police, said Tuesday night that Capitol Police had been notified by the Senate mail handling facility that “it had received an envelope containing a white

granular substance.” Antrobus said called the incident a “controlled event” and said operations at the Capitol complex had not been affected by the investigation. FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said earlier initial field tests on the substance produced mixed results and that it is in the process of undergoing further analysis at an accredited laboratory.

Transportation, which is channeling the funding for the project to the city. Johnny Crotts with Cook Coggin Engineers said any changes need to come quickly. “The iron is hot on this. They are wanting to proceed on it,” he said. Aldermen agreed to halt the current plan until the board reassesses the situation and makes a decision. Crotts said MDOT originally would only agree to the project if Liddon Lake Road was

removed from the intersection. However, that changed a couple of weeks ago, and MDOT will now consider the project with all five points intact. The project will be funded through the Local Surface Transportation Program with the city contributing a local match of about $80,000.

from tourism board BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau will have yet another board change following the resignation of member Luke Doehner. The nine-year member of the tourism board resigned at the beginning of this month. “It was time to cut back on some things and pay more attention to my business,” said the Generals’ Quarters Bed and Breakfast owner. “I loved the board and had a good time serving.” Doehner served as interim board chairman when a new seven-person board was appointed by city and county officials in early Jan. Russell Smith was elected the new tourism chairman when Doehner stepped down from the interim position in a March special called meeting. He elected to remain

part of the board at that time before realizing the time constraints wouldn’t allow him to fulfill the obligation. “The board is a good one and Christy (Burns) is going to do a great job,” said Doehner referring to the new director. “I just need to be at the business more and I also plan on running for judge again in two years.” Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin praised Doehner for his work during a time of transition. “He did a wonderful job of picking up the reins when the new board came in,” said Irwin. The mayor also understands the demands of individuals in business. “It requires a lot of time when you have a business in a small community,” he said. “Luke had let me know that he didn’t want to do this (serving on the board) for a long period of time because of his business.”

Bro. Wray & Carol Moore will be Celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary on Sat., April 20th, 2013 at 2:00 P.M. at North Corinth Baptist Church on Polk St. & Hwy 2. Bro.

Fetal homicide laws not consistent in US BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Associated Press

JACKSON — The National Conference of State Legislatures lists Mississippi as one of 38 states with a fetal homicide law. The laws are not identical among the states, the February report said. And, NCSL notes that the debate over such laws is contentious and enters into the arena of abortion rights. The Mississippi Supreme Court is considering whether a woman can be tried for manslaughter if her child is stillborn and she had taken illegal drugs during pregnancy. Nina Buckwalter had a stillbirth and was arrested in 2010 because of alleged drug use during her pregnancy, but a Lamar County judge threw out the charge. The judge found the Legislature did not intend to criminalize drug use during pregnancy that harms or injures a fetus. The issue is as ambiguous as is Mississippi law, the justices said in the case heard in April. And more than once, justices said lawmakers ought to clarify the law. NCSL said some states’ laws generally involve the issue of a fetus killed by a violent act against a pregnant woman. Such laws focus on harm done to the woman and the subsequent loss of her pregnancy, but not on the rights of the fetus. NCSL reports that those supporting these laws say that the life of the pregnant woman and the life of the fetus should both be explicitly protected. Those on the other side say that laws to protect a fetus could jeopardize a woman’s right to choose an abortion, NCSL said. Abortion-rights advocates say such laws grant a fetus legal status distinct from the pregnant woman, possibly creating an adversarial relationship between a woman and her fetus. NCSL said critics are also concerned that laws could be interpreted to apply to a woman’s behavior during pregnancy; such as smoking, drinking or using drugs. They prefer criminalizing an assault on a pregnant woman and recognizing her as the only victim, NCSL said. What concerned Mississippi Supreme Court Presiding Justice Jess Dickinson during the hearing in the Buckwalter case was that state laws are inconsistent in dealing with the possible culpability of a woman in the death of the developing baby. He said Mississippi’s law banning lateterm abortion specifies that a woman who gets the procedure cannot be prosecuted. But elsewhere in the state law, Dickinson says it appears a woman who caused an abortion could be guilty of a felony. He said the issue before the court was what the woman intended to and what she could be accused of, under the law. “Lots of courts have taken up this issue; they don’t all agree ... whether the mother and the child should be considered a single person or two separate people,” Dickinson said. He said Texas, for example, ruled in a case 15 years ago that the physiological relationship between the mother and a fetus cannot be ignored. “Different states have come to different conclusions,” Dickinson said. Buckwalter’s defense attorney, Robert McDuff, said the important point is that Mississippi has no law to prosecute a woman for taking drugs, or drinking, or ignoring a doctor’s orders and having a stillbirth. “This is an issue of statutory interpretation and whether the law allows this type of prosecution. It does not,” McDuff said. Prosecutors argue that the fetus is human being separate from the mother and harm caused to the fetus by another, including the mother, is a criminal act. “The failure of bills to pass the Legislature regarding the criminalization of a pregnant mother’s drug use does not do away with the statutes we do have making it a crime to harm an unborn child,” Lamar County Assistant District Attorney Lauren Harless said in court documents.

Jackie Robinson’s triumphant achievement Before he triumphed over prejudice, Jackie Robinson triumphed over himself. The signal achievements of the pioneering baseball star, whose story is recounted in the top-grossing biopic “42,” were perseverance and self-control. In the face of hatred from fans and opposing players, he showed no anger. In response to isolation from his teammates, he betrayed no self-pity. He went out every day and swung the bat and ran the bases and fielded his position, and displayed the character that his detractors lacked. He was the gentleman, they were the haters, the rubes, the rotten teammates. “42” is a paean to discipline and to an ethic that has eroded badly in American sporting life, and in our national life in general: “Please, don’t express yourself or feel sorry for yourself, don’t make excuses, don’t worry about what someone else is doing or saying, just go out and do your job.” In Jackie Robinson’s circumstances in 1947 — the year he broke into the big leagues and the focus of the film — adherence to this quotidian standard constituted notable courage.

The first meeting between Robinson and Branch Rickey, when the team honcho Rich b r o a c h e d Lowery making him a Brooklyn National Review Dodger, with all the pressure and abuse that would entail, is one of the most mythogenic episodes in baseball history. Rickey shouted insults at Robinson and demanded to know how he would respond to such provocation. Robinson asked if Rickey wanted a player who lacked the guts to fight back. Rickey responded, “I want a ballplayer with guts enough not to fight back.” The two men were Methodists and discussed the example of Christ, although Robinson hadn’t excelled at turning the other cheek at the humiliations of Jim Crow-era America. As Jonathan Eig writes in his book “Opening Day: The Story of Jackie Robinson’s First Season,” Robinson grew up without a father, and his mother worked as a maid in Pasadena, Calif. When as a boy a white girl taunted

him with a racial epithet, he called her a “cracker” right back. The girl’s father and Robinson ended up throwing stones at one another. As a young man stationed at Camp Hood in Texas during World War II, he got court-martialed. One day, Lt. Robinson refused to move to the back of the bus when the driver told him to, and exploded in rage when the driver called him “n-----.” He was arrested, but eventually cleared of all charges. Rickey hadn’t sought out a shrinking violet. “He wanted someone big enough and strong enough to intimidate,” Eig writes, “and someone intelligent enough to understand the historic nature of his role.” We never would have heard of Robinson, of course, if he hadn’t been a supremely gifted athlete (Rickey wanted to win the pennant, as well as do right). But baseball history is full of those; it is Robinson’s dignity when confronted with so many indignities that sets him apart. Baseball then had a distinctively Southern flavor that could make even players who were white ethnics feel uncomfortable. A con-

tingent of Robinson’s own teammates wanted to boycott him, and so did rival players. He couldn’t stay in some of the team’s hotels. He got death threats. In a game early in the season, Philadelphia Phillies manager Ben Chapman and his players viciously abused him. Robinson envisioned throwing his bat down and attacking his tormentors. During all of this, he slumped and thought about quitting, but kept on going, and eventually his talent spoke louder than words. A legendary image — memorialized in a bronze statue outside the ballpark of the minor-league Brooklyn Cyclones — is of Kentuckyborn Dodgers shortstop Pee Wee Reese draping his arm around Robinson on the field, in a gesture of support and in a rebuke to hostile fans. It may or may not have happened that way. But it’s hard to make a statue to the essence of Robinson’s accomplishment, to the lonely resolve one at-bat and one inning at a time.

The books that rocked your world MONTEVALLO, Ala. — It was a bookstore in an old house that also sold chocolate treats and bottled beer, pretty much a working definition of heaven. A group of convivial folks, mostly from the nearby college, had come to listen to Alabama author and veteran journalist Frye Gaillard talk about his latest, “The Books That Mattered, A Reader’s Memoir.” In writing compellingly about some of his favorite books and authors, the ones that moved and shaped him, Gaillard has produced another book that matters. It makes you want to dissect your life the way you did that frog in 10th-grade biology, looking for the guts and backbone of your beliefs and morals and philosophical leanings. He wrote about Harper Lee and Rick Bragg, Anne Frank and Robert Penn Warren, John Steinbeck and Charles Dickens, all from the A List. He also wrote about Dee Brown and Larry L. King and the first writer to get his attention, Esther Forbes, who wrote “Johnny Tremain.” Inspired by Gaillard’s

choices, men and women at the meeting took turns telling what books had changed Rheta their lives, or Johnson at least jumpstarted them Columnist into reading. Fourth grade seemed to be the most popular year for life-altering trips to the library. Not in my case. I think my epiphanous read was much earlier, perhaps when I was 3 or 4, not much later. And the book that hooked me was read to me, not by me, and I’ll admit the illustrations played as big a part in the enchantment as the words. I loved “Make Way for Ducklings,” the story of city ducks that get a police escort and waddle their way to an island in a lagoon of a Boston park. The illustrations and text were by the iconic Robert McCloskey, and, for my money, look like illustrations in a book should look. Not all overladen with riotous color, but black and white and acutely realistic. They were done in

nuanced charcoal, which allowed the young reader to add color in her head. Later I would read his “Homer Price” series. McCloskey’s attention to the detail of gears and switches and Rube Goldberg-type design of a fantastical doughnut machine held me captive for hours. His grass tickled your feet. You could almost feel Homer’s soft burr cut. I started thinking about how illustrations always influence my reading, from the freckles on Anne of Green Gables’ nose to Beautiful Joe’s fathomless eyes, from steamy scenes on the covers of James M. Cain paperbacks to, well, the perpetual virgins on Louisa Mae Alcott’s novels. Maybe you can’t judge a book by its cover, but you can sure buy one because of it. Just another reason I don’t understand those readers who claim to prefer Kindle and other e-book devices to real books. I can see using such a thing in a pinch, if both your arms were in casts or something. But not to have a physical book to admire and shelve makes me sad.

If not for the art, the Little Prince wouldn’t be standing in a green jumpsuit on his planet on my shelf. Pippi and her monkey couldn’t frolic forever across the old jam cabinet in my living room. Mark Twain’s perfect face and Thurber’s hound wouldn’t reassure me every time I pass the sagging bookcase in the hall. I agree with a lot of Frye’s choices; they are among my own favorites, especially “The Old Man and Lesser Mortals,” “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter.” But Frye wrote that his hope is not that we will adopt the same favorite books, swayed by his elegant telling of their back stories, but that we will “create an equally personal list.” “Personal” is the key word. It’s a fun exercise, vital maybe, not to mention illustrated. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rheta Grimsley Johnson is a resident of Tishomingo County.

Marathon bombing victim seen as spirited BOSTON — Neighbors and friends remembered 8-year-old Boston Marathon bombing victim Martin Richard as a vivacious boy who loved to run, climb and play sports like soccer, basketball and baseball. Family friend Jack Cunningham spoke Tuesday of how, as a pint-sized preschooler, Martin had insisted on getting out of a stroller his mom was pushing during a 5K race in South Boston. Once she let him out to run with the rest of the family, Martin had other plans for the rainy race course. “He was just having a ball, splashing in every puddle,” Cunningham said. The boy’s father, Bill Richard, released a statement thanking family, friends and strangers for their support following his son’s death Monday. Richard’s wife, Denise, and the couple’s 6-year-old daughter, Jane, also suffered significant injuries in the blasts. “My dear son Martin has died from injuries sustained in the attack on Boston,” Richard said. “My wife and daughter are both recovering from serious injuries. We thank our family and friends, those we know and those we have never met, for their thoughts and prayers. I ask that you continue to pray for my family as we remember Martin.” Other friends remembered Martin as a happy boy who was often outside playing with his sister, older brother Henry and other neighborhood kids. The Richard family was watching Monday’s race, and had gone to get ice cream before returning to the area near the finish line before the blasts. “They were looking in

the crowd as the runners were coming to see if they could identify some of their friends when the bomb hit,” said U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, a friend of the family for 25 years. He said they are a strong family and are doing better than expected, while rallying around the 6-year-old girl.

GOP blasts Obama plan to sell TVA WASHINGTON — In a political role reversal, Republicans are blasting President Barack Obama’s plan to consider selling the Tennessee Valley Authority, an icon of the New Deal long targeted by conservatives as an example of government overreach. Obama’s 2014 budget proposal calls for a strategic review of the TVA, the nation’s largest public utility with 9 million customers in seven states from Virginia to Mississippi. Selling the U.S-owned power company could reduce the federal deficit by at least $25 billion and “help put the nation on a sustainable fiscal path,” Obama says in a budget document. Not so fast, say GOP lawmakers in the region. “It’s one more bad idea in a budget full of bad ideas,” said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., a longtime TVA champion. “There is no assurance that selling TVA to a profit-making entity would reduce electric bills in the Tennessee Valley, and it could lead to higher electricity rates” for customers in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, Alexander said.

continues to deliver affordable electricity throughout the region. Privatizing TVA has been proposed before “and been determined to be a very bad idea,” added Rep. John Duncan, R-Tenn. Administration officials emphasized that privatization was just one option being considered. Sale of the agency has been discussed by prior administrations, but nothing has happened. Indeed, proposals to sell TVA date back to soon after the agency was created in 1933 to reduce the risk of flooding in the region and bring electricity to rural communities in poor areas of Appalachia. It was a key part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal program, which used government spending to help the nation recover from the Great Depression.

American Airlines fixes computers DALLAS — American Airlines grounded all flights across the United States for several hours Tuesday after a key computer system crashed, causing thousands of passengers to be stranded at airports and on planes. Flights in the air were allowed to continue to their destinations, but planes on the ground could not take off. The airline blamed its computerized reservation system, which is used for much more than booking flights. Airlines use such systems to track passengers and bags, monitor who has boarded a plane and to update flight schedules and gate assignments and file flight plans.

Board eyes changes to shares of cash JACKSON — A College Board committee will consider Wednesday a new funding formula meant to equalize state money among the state’s eight universities. A board vote on the new formula is likely Thursday. In recent years, the eight universities have gotten static shares of overall state funding, even as enrollments have shrunk at some and grown at others. Combined with the fact that some classes cost more to teach, Higher Education Chancellor Hank Bounds says state funding has become unequal, with the University of Southern Mississippi and Delta State University getting comparatively more money, while the University of Mississippi and Mississippi University for Women get comparatively less. Bounds says the board will consider boosting funding for universities on the low end of the current scale, but wouldn’t cut money to any school.

does abortions at the clinic to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. The clinic acknowledges it has been unable to get the privileges. Clinic owner Diane Derzis says the judge’s ruling was a victory. The clinic’s license revocation hearing Thursday was canceled. Meanwhile, Mississippi Right to Life is filing a complaint with the state Health Department, saying the clinic fails to provide statistics about pregnancies it terminates with abortion-inducing drugs.

UM to dedicate medicinal plant garden OXFORD — The University of Mississippi will formally dedicate its new Maynard W. Quimby Medicinal Plant Garden facility on Wednesday on the Oxford campus. Officials say the plant collection helps with teaching and research on drug discovery for the School of Pharmacy. The garden was started

1965. By 1968, more than 100 different species were planted and the National Institute of Health-funded marijuana field was also started. In 1969, the marijuana project was separated from the garden. A seed bank was created in 2002. The new facility was built on five acres of land and includes an administrative and laboratory building, a herbarium, seed bank and a taxonomy lab where plants can be identified. They also have a storage tank to capture up to 20,000 gallons of rainwater.

Lindsey wins state teaching honor JACKSON — Joshua Lindsey, an English teacher at Hancock High School, has been named the 2013 Mississippi Teacher of the Year. The Mississippi Department of Education and the Mississippi Teacher Center made the announcement Tuesday.

Clinic doing abortions after court ruling JACKSON — Mississippi’s only abortion clinic continued seeing patients Tuesday, the day after a federal judge temporarily stopped the state from closing it. U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III ruled that the state can’t close Jackson Women’s Health Organization while the clinic still has a federal lawsuit pending.

April 2013 has been designated as National Safe Digging Month and Corinth Gas & Water Department is dedicated to increasing the awareness of safe digging practices in our city and county. All persons preparing to dig must call Mississippi 811 two days prior to the beginning of any work. Underground facilities will be marked using the color code system and then work may proceed. Every digging job requires a call whether you are planning to do it yourself or hiring a professional. The depth of utility lines varies and there may be multiple utility lines in a common area. Digging without calling can disrupt service to an entire neighborhood, harm you and those around you and potentially result in fines and repair costs. Calling 811 before every digging job gets your underground utility lines marked for free and helps prevent undesired consequences.

tinuing through the rst day of June. All donations will go to the AMEN Food Pantry. The Alcorn Ministry for Emergency Needs (AMEN) is a nonprot communitycentered food pantry. It was established in 1993 to feed hungry people in Alcorn County. Twenty years later, it remains dedicated to continuing the local effort to help local people in need. “AMEN is as local as it gets, ” said Maud DeLes Lancaster, president of the AMEN Food Pantry board of directors. “We ’re 100 percent supplied, run, and nanced from Corinth and Alcorn County. Not only are we meeting the needs of Alcorn County, all of the needs are being provided for by Alcorn County as well. ” Over the last few years of economic hard times, the food pantry has provided for a dramatic increase in need. In 2011, AMEN served 2,578 local families, a total of 9,604 people. The next year the number of people assisted rose by almost a thousand — with 10,475 individuals served, out of 3,092 families. “AMEN ’s monthly numbers in 2013 continue to increase on a monthly basis, ” Lancaster pointed out. “In the month of January alone, AMEN served over 304 families and 1,033 people. ” Dixon said he was

shocked to learn how many people were served by the local food pantry. “There are all types of people who need help now, lots of well-educated people who have lost jobs and are struggling, ” said Dixon. “A lot of people who have never needed help before. We want to do all we can to help Alcorn County. There are lots of really, really hungry people here. ” The bank president hopes other businesses and individuals around town will want to get involved after seeing Regions Bank taking the lead. “By Regions doing this now — showing they love the community and want to give back — hopefully it will make other businesses see that and know we all need to give back, ” Dixon said. “We ’re asking every business and individual in Alcorn County to help out. Over that ve-week period it ’s going to be neat to see how many people participate. ” While all kinds of canned goods will be appreciated, organizers of the food drive are asking for two specic canned goods in particular — peanut butter and canned fruit. “They ’re some of the more expensive items, but it ’s very important for families to get a well-rounded diet, ” explained Lancaster. Other items needed for the AMEN Food Pantry include: canned vegetables, crackers, canned soups, spaghetti/sauce, tuna/

salmon, dried beans, beef stew, rice, chile, our/ cornmeal, canned meats, vegetable oil, canned pasta, vegetable shortening, peanut butter, fruit juices, canned beans, bread, frozen hot dogs, dried cereals, frozen bologna, canned fruit, evaporated milk and boxed macaroni. Monetary contributions to the food pantry will also go a long toward helping the cause. Lancaster emphasized that all money given to AMEN will go toward feeding people in Alcorn County. “We really milk a dollar for all it ’s worth, ” she said. “We go through the Memphis Food Bank and the Mississippi Food Network. Whey they give money they can know it ’s all going straight to food — and getting more for the dollar. ” Lancaster said she hopes local schools, businesses and groups such as Boy Scouts troops will get involved. They can also nd ways to have fun while working for a good cause. “They can do competitive things in their workplaces or groups to get people excited, ” Lancaster said. The timing is also great for a food drive, Lancaster explained, as kids are about to get out of school for the summer and will be without the benet of school meals on weekdays. “People don ’t realize how many meals kids get from schools, ” she said. “And there are lots of kids

out there with food uncertainty — children uncertain where their next meal will come from. ” The AMEN Food Pantry is a place where people in need may come to supplement their food supplies during difcult times. It is not intended for longterm support and should be used in emergency situations only. The pantry is staffed and nancially supported 100 percent by volunteers. It is an ecumenical program that depends on individuals, churches and the community to keep it aoat. According to a recent survey, 18.5 percent of the people in Alcorn County fall below federal poverty guidelines. Many of these people are children, and studies show that children who go to bed hungry do not perform well in school. In many instances, this low level of performance leads to a higher dropout rate which adversely affects unemployment and an individual ’s ability to function in society. Visit the AMEN Food Pantry ’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ amenfoodpantry to nd information about AMEN ’s referral agencies and ideas how to organize a food drive to benet the pantry. Food can be dropped off at the Regions Bank location at 510 Taylor Street across from the Alcorn County Courthouse Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

quest for the May 3-5 reenactment of the Battle of Rienzi. “We are the new kids on the block when it comes to reenactments, ” said Rienzi Mayor Walter Williams. “Last year was very successful and we need to do a lot more advertising … whatever we get we will be happy. ” A $1,000 request was approved for the Easom Outreach Foundation for its Traditional Homecoming event on July 4-7. “Keeping the facility alive creates a lot of opportunities for the community, ” said foundation president Sam Crayton. “I have a lot of good memories of that school and it has special meaning to us, ” added tourism board member Danny

Timmons. The local NAACP Chapter was awarded $3,500 of a $4,500 request for its reunion/homecoming during the same weekend of the Easom event. The Lighthouse Foundation was approved for $5,000 of a $7,500 request for a high school basketball classic to be held in November. “I think we can give them $1,000 each month between now and August with the understanding they can come back and request more if there is money in the budget in September, ” said Timmons. “Our purpose is to make this a big fundraiser for the Lighthouse, ” said Lighthouse Executive Director Gary Caveness.

Caveness thinks “a minimum of 6,000 ” will attend the Nov. 29-30 event at Corinth High School with several national powers among 1415 teams taking part. “I think this is a great idea, ” said tourism ’s Laura Albright. Board members approved the $500 request of the Colonel William P. Rogers Sons of Confederate Veterans. The money will be used to print 5,000 iers for the group ’s annual Civil War relic and military show. “It ’s amazing how far people will drive for a Civil War show, ” said the group ’s Larry Mangus.

Overcoming fear can open up new horizons Fear keeps us from attempting many things we would really like to do. We fear the consequences of failure. We fear the embarrassment of criticism or ridicule. Some people even fear success. In actuality, fear is more Bryan perception than realGolden ity. Fear Dare to Live can be conWithout Limits sidered an acronym for “False Evidence Appearing Real.” It’s typically fear of the unknown that is the most paralyzing. When you imagine a worst case scenario as being a possible outcome,

you then opt to avoid the risky behavior entirely. Fear doesn’t have to debilitating; you can learn to overcome it. Learning to do so will open up new horizons for you, enabling you to accomplish more than you believed possible. Since your fears become engrained over time, you have to commit to the time and effort needed to change your perceptions. The first step in this process is developing an awareness of your fears. They have been with you so long that they are engrained into your personality. As a result, fears lose their identity. Analyze your behavior. What are the things you want to do or should be doing? What are the fears which

are limiting you? Now get specific about exactly what you are afraid of and why? Write down each fear. Try to identify why you’re afraid. Is your fear based on past experiences or anticipation of what could go wrong? Look at past experiences. What went wrong and why? What did you learn? If you had it to do over, what would you do differently. If you are faced with the same situation in the future, what will you do differently? Since you now know what strategy you should have taken, you can apply your knowledge and experience to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. Now, you can get rid of any fears that

are based on past experiences. How do you handle your fears based on the anticipation of what could go wrong? Well, what’s the worst that could happen? Usually, the worst case scenario turns out being not nearly as bad as you thought. Analyze past fears. How many things were you afraid of that turned out to be no big deal? How many times have you kicked yourself for being afraid of nothing? A simple, yet effective way to deal with your fears is to do what you are afraid to do and go where you are afraid to go. It’s like learning how to swim. You start out in the shallow end, get used to the water, and then gradually work your way

out to where it’s deeper. You can chip away at your fears in the same way. Start with small issues. Build confidence as you overcome minor fears. Then work your way up to more major issues. You may not eliminate all fears but you will build your confidence and reduce or eliminate each fear’s power over you. Gratitude is another tool in the battle against fear. Rather than letting fear inhibit your progress, be grateful for the opportunities to accomplish your goals. Instead of focusing on what could go wrong, concentrate on all of the benefits you will accrue. For inspiration, look to others who have conquered their fears. Many

have successfully dealt with fears far greater than yours. If they can get past their fears, so can you. Fears exist entirely in your mind. Since you control your fears, you already have within you what it takes to overcome your fears. Don’t allow another day to go by where your fears are getting the best of you. Make the decision and take action to start putting your fears behind you. (Daily Corinthian columnist Bryan Golden is a management consultant, motivational speaker, author, and adjunct professor.

Corinth Coca-Cola Bottling Works plans expansion For the Daily Corinthian

The Coca-Cola Company and Corinth CocaCola Bottling Works, Inc. announced Tuesday that they have taken a significant first step in the implementation of a 21st century beverage partnership model. Under the new model, The Coca-Cola Company and five U.S. bottlers, including Corinth CocaCola Bottling Works, have agreed in principle to create a stronger U.S. business model through the granting of new, expanded territories. The other

four bottlers involved are Coca-Cola Bottling Company United Inc., CocaCola Bottling Company Consolidated, Swire CocaCola USA and Coca-Cola Bottling Company High Country. “The franchise system has always been the strength of the Coca-Cola business globally, and today we are accelerating the transformation of our U.S. system in ways that will establish a clear path to achieve our 2020 Vision,” said Muhtar Kent, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Coca-

Cola Company. In the newly granted territories, The Coca-Cola Company and Corinth Coca-Cola Bottling Works, will work collaboratively to implement key elements of this evolving U.S. operating model, including: ■ More rational and contiguous operating territories; ■ A grant of exclusive territory rights and the sale by Coca-Cola Refreshments of distribution assets and cold drink equipment; ■ A finished goods mod-

el under which production assets will remain with Coca-Cola Refreshments, which would facilitate future implementation of a national product supply system; ■ An improved, more integrated information technology platform; ■ A new beverage agreement that supports the evolving operating model. Corinth Coca-Cola Bottling Works’ new territory rights include Jackson and Paris, Tenn., which will extend its existing presence in Corinth, Lexington, Tenn., and Tupelo.

The new territory, currently managed by CocaCola Bottling Consolidated, will transition to The Coca-Cola Company and will ultimately be granted to Corinth Coca-Cola Bottling Works as part of the larger agreement. “Since 1907, we have prided ourselves on growing The Coca-Cola Company’s strong brands, creating local customer relationships, and supporting the Mississippi and Tennessee communities where we live and work,” said Sandy Williams, Chairman of

Corinth Coca-Cola Bottling Works. “We look forward to collaborating to build a healthier and more aligned system, able to capably deliver on the 21st century needs of our customers and consumers.” The transactions announced Tuesday were subject to the parties reaching definitive agreements by the end of 2013, with closings expected during 2014. The parties anticipate a seamless transition with minimal disruption for customers, consumers and system associates.

vis Tritt concert on May 17. A request of $6,450 for new box office computers and $5,000 for a website upgrade was denied.

“I feel these fall under capital improvements,” said Albright. The board agreed the requests could be resub-

mitted by the Crossroads Arena should there not be enough funds in the capital improvement budget. Arena General Manag-

er Tammy Genovese told the board she “holds her breath ever day” when it comes to the box office computers.

In other business, the board has decided to go with a new request form for those organizations seeking funds from the office.

The glitter is gone The price of gold is sinking like lead. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down 17 percent so far in 2013, with most of the drop coming in a two-day plunge Friday and Monday. At $1,387 an ounce, gold is close to its lowest price since February 2011. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shock to investors who watched the metalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value more than double from 2009 through the summer of 2011. Analysts say you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rush to â&#x20AC;&#x153;buy low.â&#x20AC;? Several are calling for the price of gold to stay roughly where it is for years. Citi forecasts gold will sell for an average $1,435 an ounce in 2014. Looking further ahead, Credit Suisse analysts expect gold to average $1,420 in 2015. There are several reasons gold may remain low:

â&#x20AC;˘ Modest inflation Investors tend to buy gold when they expect inflation to increase. Critics of the Federal Reserveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aggressive economic stimulus feared that it could lead to runaway inflation. But inflation has remained tame â&#x20AC;&#x201D; below 2 percent a year in most developed countries. â&#x20AC;˘Threat of lower demand, more supply Economic growth is slowing in China, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-largest source of consumer demand for gold after India. Speculation is also rising that Cyprus and other European countries may sell gold to strengthen their finances. â&#x20AC;˘ Strong stocks

The Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index is up 10 percent in 2013, offering investors better returns than gold.

Dulled: The price of gold surged for years as investors worried about the prospect of higher inflation, before tumbling last week. $2,000

Beige Book

Today

How will you pay for retirement? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk.

The Federal Reserveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beige Book highlights business conditions in each of the central bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 regional districts. In March, 10 of the districts reported moderate or modest growth and two, Boston and Chicago, reported slow growth. Strong auto sales, better hiring and the continuing housing recovery helped the U.S. economy grow overall in January and February. The Fed releases its latest Beige Book survey today.

MARKET SUMMARY G

Big bank spotlight Bank of America is focusing on lending to its customers, rather than buying loans made by other lenders. The shift comes as the company seeks to regain a bigger slice of the mortgage market and move beyond legal troubles related to home loans made by Countrywide Financial, the mortgage lender the bank acquired in 2008. Investors will get an update on Bank of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mortgage business today when the lender reports its latest quarterly earnings.

American on the mend? AMR, the parent of American Airlines, reports results for its fourth fiscal quarter today. The airline, which is nearing the end of its reorganization under bankruptcy protection, has been reporting solid growth in a closely watched measure of revenue. Was that improvement enough to propel AMR back to a profit for the quarter?

Boston bombs said to be made from pressure cookers BY EILEEN SULLIVAN AND JAY LINDSAY Associated Press

BOSTON — The bombs that ripped through the crowd at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and wounding more than 170, were fashioned out of pressure cookers and packed with metal shards, nails and ball bearings to inflict maximum carnage, a person briefed on the investigation said Tuesday. The details on the apparently crude but deadly explosives emerged as investigators appealed to the public for amateur video and photos that might yield clues to who carried out the attack. The chief FBI agent in Boston vowed “we will go to the ends of the Earth” to find those responsible. A person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still going on said the explosives were put in 6-liter kitchen pressure cookers, hidden in black duffel bags and left on the ground. They were packed with shrapnel, the person said. The person said law enforcement officials have some of the bomb components but do not yet know what was used to set off the explosives. A doctor treating the

wounded appeared to corroborate the person's account, saying one of the victims was maimed by what looked like ball bearings or BBs. Doctors also said they removed a host of sharp objects from the victims, including nails that were sticking out of one little girl's body. At the White House, President Barack Obama said that the bombings were an act of terrorism but that investigators do not know if they were carried out by an international organization, a domestic group or a “malevolent individual.” He added: “The American people refuse to be terrorized.” Across the U.S., from Washington to Los Angeles, police stepped up security, monitoring landmarks, government buildings, transit hubs and sporting events. Security was especially tight in Boston, with bomb-sniffing dogs checking Amtrak passengers' luggage at South Station and transit police patrolling with rifles. “They can give me a cavity search right now and I'd be perfectly happy,” said Daniel Wood, a video producer from New York City who was waiting for a train.

that contrary to earlier reports, no unexploded bombs were found. Federal investigators said no one had claimed responsibility for the bombings, which took place at the world's bestknown distance race, held every year on one of Boston's biggest holidays, Patriots' Day. “We will go to the ends of the Earth to identify the subject or subjects who are responsible for this despicable crime, and we will do everything we can to bring them to justice,” said Richard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston. He said investigators had received “voluminous tips” and were interviewing witnesses and analyzing the crime scene. Boston police and firefighter unions announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to arrests in the bombing. At a news conference, police and federal agents repeatedly appealed for any video, audio and photos taken by marathon spectators, even images that people might not think are significant. “There has to be hundreds, if not thousands, of photos and videos” that might help investigators, state police Col. Timothy

Similar pressure-cooker explosives have been used in Afghanistan, India, Nepal and Pakistan, according to a July 2010 intelligence report by the FBI and Homeland Security. Also, one of the three devices used in the May 2010 Times Square attempted bombing was a pressure cooker, the report said. “Placed carefully, such devices provide little or no indication of an impending attack,” the report said. The Pakistani Taliban, which claimed responsibility for the 2010 attempt in Times Square, has denied any role in the Boston Marathon attack. The two bombs blew up about 10 seconds and around 100 yards apart Monday near the finish line of the 26.2-mile race, tearing off limbs, knocking people off their feet and leaving the streets stained with blood and strewn with broken glass. The dead included an 8-year-old boy. “We started grabbing tourniquets and started tying legs. A lot of people amputated,” said Roupen Bastajian, a state trooper from Smithfield, R.I., who had just finished the race when he heard the explosions. Gov. Deval Patrick said

to losing limbs, victims suffered broken bones, shrapnel wounds and ruptured eardrums. Dr. Stephen Epstein of the emergency medicine department at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center said he saw an X-ray of one victim's leg that had “what appears to be small, uniform, round objects throughout it — similar in the appearance to BBs.” Eight-year-old Martin Richard was among the dead, said Rep. Stephen Lynch, a family friend. The boy's mother, Denise, and 6-year-old sister, Jane, were badly injured. His brother and father were also watching the race but were not hurt. A candle burned on the stoop of the family's single-family home in the city's Dorchester section Tuesday, and the word “Peace” was written in chalk on the front walk. Neighbor Betty Delorey said Martin loved to climb neighborhood trees and hop the fence outside his home. Also killed was Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old restaurant manager from Medford, Mass., who had gone with her best friend to take a picture of the friend's boyfriend crossing the finish line.

Alben said. Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said investigators also gathered a large number of surveillance tapes from businesses in the area and intend to go through the videos frame by frame. “This is probably one of the most photographed areas in the country yesterday,” he said. FBI agents searched an apartment in the Boston suburb of Revere overnight, and investigators were seen leaving with brown paper bags, plastic trash bags and a duffel bag. But it was unclear whether the tenant had anything to do with the attack. A law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release details of the investigation said the man had been tackled by a bystander, then police, as he ran from the scene of the explosions. But the official said it is possible the man was simply running away to protect himself from the blast, as many others did. At least 17 people were critically injured, police said. At least eight children were being treated at hospitals. In addition
