‘Apple Picking’ — thieves target iPhones

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Individuals are urged to keep their iPhones close when out shopping.

A rash of phone thefts at a local store has caused some to learn the unfortunate lesson the hard way.

“Over the last three weeks, we have had several calls from individuals who had phones taken out of their shopping buggy or purse,” said Corinth Police Chief David Lancaster.

One woman — who asked to remain nameless — was shopping in Corinth recently when her iPhone was taken from her purse.

“My purse was in a buggy with the phone sticking up a little bit,” said the woman. “I had bent over looking at garbage bags and the next thing I know the phone was gone.”

The female reported the theft to the service desk, where she was told she was the eighth phone vic-

tim in the past several weeks.

“It's wasn't a newer phone, but it had all my pictures on there and that's what I want back,” said the woman.

She was a victim of what is now called “apple picking.”

“Statistics show that any kind of theft or burglary involves stealing the phone,” said Sue Sperry, Senior Public Relations Manager with AT&T. If your phone is lost or has been stolen, suspend your wireless service to protect against unauthorized usage. AT&T will then indicate that your phone is lost or stolen.

“As soon as you realize the phone is gone, call AT&T and put a block on it,” said Sperry.

The free app “Find My iPhone” is also a big help. If an individual configured it to use Find My iPhone before it was stolen, they may be able to get it back or at least prevent the thief from getting at personal data.

Sperry advises iPhone owners

to be more careful when they have their phones in public.

“Don't make apple picking easy picking,” she said. “You want to protect it like its your wallet, because its the second most valuable thing you carry other than a wallet.”

Lancaster agrees with the AT&T representative.

“I don't recommend leaving purses in buggies where anyone could come by and take something,” said Lancaster. “I think individuals need to keep the phones on them or zipped up in their purse.”

Thieves pick phones for two reasons, according to Sperry.

“They sell them for parts or see if they can get any personal information from the phone where further stealing can be done,” she said.

Sperry said all customers should use password protection on their phones.

“You need to protect all of your contacts and understand

Organizers of the 150th Anniversary Battles of Farmington and Corinth reenactment say next weekend’s event will be the biggest yet.

Hosted by the Blue-Gray Alliance and sponsored by the Farmington Heritage Committee, the Farmington reenactment will be held Thursday, Sept. 13, through Sunday, Sept. 16, on the historical site of the Battle of Farmington.

Approximately 500 reenactors are expected to participate, including 20 cannons and 60 mounted cavalry reenactors.

“It’s really picked up in the past week or so,” Farmington Mayor Dale Fortenber-

For decades the story of McNairy County Sheriff Buford Pusser has walked tall.

Hollywood movies, authorized biographies, monuments and a museum all pay tribute to the legendary sheriff. In the decades following his career and untimely death on Aug. 21, 1974, Pusser’s war against the outlaws who haunted the MississippiTennessee state line has inspired countless people the world over.

Pusser's life was dramatized in several W.R. Morris books, a made for television movie, “American Hero,” and the blockbuster “Walking Tall” movie trilogy by Bing Crosby Productions. Pusser

Rienzi couple bring GiGi home from China; fulfilling long journey of faith

BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com

A journey of faith continues for a Rienzi couple to adopt children from a foreign country.

Phil and Niki Smith, along with their biological children, Colt, 9, and Macy Jade, 7, brought home their newest family member, GiGi Dahl Smith, age 21⁄2, at the beginning of August 2012.

“GiGi really has just fit right in,” says Phil Smith, who teaches Career Pathways Experience at the Alcorn Career and Technical Center.

“Most people have made the comment it’s like she’s always been here.”

The Alcorn County couple believes adoption of orphans is a lifelong mission God has called

them to do.

“We are missionaries for the orphans,” said Niki Smith, a busy stay-at-home mom. “This is something we were called to do and we believe it is our mission.

We know if God has called us, then He will provide the way.”

“We did not choose this calling, but we’re humbled by God’s choosing of us for this lifelong ser-

vice,” said Phil Smith.

The idea of adoption has been on their hearts since they married in December 1998.

Now that GiGi has arrived at her new home in Mississippi, the couple is beginning to take their next step of faith toward the adoption of another special needs child from China, Guan Ya, 13, who is deaf and mute.

“Guan Ya is such a sweet, smart, and talented girl,” Niki said.

“She loves to dance and swim, is a straight A student and leader.

Even though she has basically nothing, she gives money she has to others less fortunate on the street. She helps care for others and is so thoughtful by doing Please see GIGI | 3A

PUSSER CONTINUED FROM 1A

served as sheriff in the 1960s.

Now, almost exactly 45 years after the murder of the “Walking Tall� sheriff’s wife — the event which catapulted Pusser to national fame — a former law enforcement officer from northwest Arkansas has embarked on a mission to tell a very different version of the Pusser story.

Like many more, Mike Elam began his study of Pusser from a position of admiration. But after years of research, Elam has formulated a darker version of some of the seminal events in the Pusser legend.

Elam recently traveled to Corinth and McNairy County, Tenn., to conduct a tour of sites in the area related to the Pusser and State Line Mob story. Members of his internet discussion group “crime myths� (in which he shares his findings) joined Elam for a weekend bus tour into the past. Along the way they discussed Elam’s findings that throw a very different light on the Pusser story.

With scenes from the 1973 film “Walking Tall� playing on a series of flatscreen TVs inside the bus, the tour visited the site of Pauline Pusser’s ambush, the state line ruins of the old Shamrock Motel just north of Corinth, the McNairy County Courthouse where Pusser was headquartered and other sites in Corinth, including the Proper Street residence where once lived State Line matriarch Louise Hathcock, and the site of the old El Ray Motel in

Corinth where gangster “Towhead� White met his end on April 4, 1969.

Discussion continued throughout the tour, but the biggest controversies of Elam’s findings were centered on two tour stops — the “ambush site� where Pauline Pusser was killed on New Hope Road in southern McNairy County and the Shamrock ruins where, according to the accepted story, Pusser shot and killed Louise Hathcock in self defense.

The ambush According to the version put forward by Pusser’s authorized biographer, W.R. Morris, the sheriff’s wife was killed in the Aug. 12, 1967, New Hope Road ambush by four assailants hired by the state line criminals, including Dixie Mafia member Kirksey Nix Jr. and Boston mob hitman Carmine Gagliardi. The Cadillac-driving killers’ intended target was the McNairy County sheriff.

Pusser said he was fired upon and made a run for it. A couple of miles down the road the killers pulled up next to Pusser’s patrol car and opened fire out of the passenger side window at point-blank range.

Pusser suffered serious wounds to the face in the ambush and his wife was killed.

The outcome of that morning is unquestionable, but Elam’s research has led him to a different hypothesis regarding who was behind the shooting. “Is there a possibility that Buford Pusser had reason to be rid of his wife Pauline?� Elam asked.

Elam pointed out that interviews and published accounts have established

that Pusser was said to be a womanizer. Even Morris, Pusser’s biographer, wrote about this.

Pauline Pusser’s best friend, according to Elam, was Lavon Plunk, wife of McNairy County Deputy Peatie Plunk. She stated in an interview that the Pussers were separated at the time of Pauline’s murder. “Lavon Plunk and others have stated that Pauline planned to leave Buford because of his corruption as well as his extramarital affairs,� said Elam. “Lavon Plunk stated to me personally that she feared Buford. She thought of Buford as a very dangerous man and feared for her own life.

Buford had told Pauline that she could no longer see Lavon, forcing Lavon and Pauline to sneak around.�

According to Elam, he was told by Lavon Plunk that she drove Pauline Pusser home in Adamsville early on the morning of Aug. 12 to gather a few things and her children so she could leave Buford.

Lavon said she waited in her car just down the street from the Pusser residence; she was afraid to be in the house if Buford came home.

Then the sheriff showed up. “Lavon suspected that had Buford found her at the Pusser residence that morning he may have killed her too, stating that she suspected that Buford had indeed killed Pauline,� Elam said.

Elam also cited the lack of proof that any “state liners� were involved in the ambush. After a long investigation, none were arrested or seriously questioned by the

Also suspicious was Pusser’s changing story regarding the ambush.

On Aug. 13 The Tennessean — a Nashville-based newspaper — quoted the Selmer Chief of Police saying that Pusser told him that he was responding to a call at Hollis Jourdan’s Beer Tavern on Old Highway 45 when he was chased down and fired upon by a single attacker he could not identify.

Soon the story shifted.

Pusser claimed that he was responding to a disturbance call on New Hope Road — not Hollis Jourdan’s as in the first account.

By 1968, according to TBI correspondence, the story had again changed.

Now there were three people in the Cadillac.

This time Pusser said he

got a good look at the triggerman and could identify him.

And by the time of Morris’ books, the story had expanded to include the four mob hitmen. “The question that begs to be answered is that if these people were involved, why were none ever questioned, arrested or charged?� wondered Elam.

Elam also cites evidence from the ambush site that seems to contradict the ambush scenario.

Photos of the car after the ambush show that all of the bullets entered the driver’s side window.

Shell casings were found in a very small area on the road, suggesting there was little movement by the shooter. “One has to question why so many of the shell casings were found on the shoulder of the road rather than in the middle of the road. Better yet, we have to question why

none were ejected inside the Cadillac itself,� said Elam. “We also have to wonder, if the Pussers were separated, why was Pauline really with Buford that morning and why would he take her on a potentially dangerous disturbance call?�

Standing at the site of Pauline Pusser’s murder 45 years later was a man who looked old enough to have been well into adulthood when the murder happened. After listening to Elam’s version of the events, he had one question. “Basically, you’re saying Buford shot her?� he asked. “I’m saying somebody shot her,� Elam replied. “Who was it that had a motive? That’s the question.�

(Note: Elam’s explanation of the shooting of Louise Hathcock at the Shamrock will be covered in an upcoming edition.)

the best moments in the reenactments the City of Farmington has been hosting since 2007.

Many activities and demonstrations are slated for the school days, including a display of camp life by the 48th Tennessee Infantry regiment and a cannon demonstration with Freeman’s Battery, rides in an authentic 1860s horse-drawn wagon. A new demonstration for this year’s event will be a portrayal of the lives of officers’ wives by the ladies of the 48th Tennessee.

A memorial will be held on Saturday for Steiger and Penelope Allen, a Farmington couple whose home was located on the battlefield and who were laid to rest at their old homeplace after the war.

The main “battle�

events will be conducted on Friday and Saturday, beginning with an opening ceremony Saturday morning with the presentation of the colors for both sides. As always, the event will be managed by an all-volunteer staff.

The first Farmington reenactment was a small event held in 2007.

It has been held each year since and has doubled in size each year with the exception of 2009 when it was rained out.

A donation will be accepted of $5 per carload to help cover expenses.

things as making cards for others, caring for the younger children, and cooking if anyone is sick.”

At one time the Smiths thought they would adopt a little boy in Africa, then Niki learned of Guan Ya through a website requesting prayer for older children with severe special needs, and they believe this is the second child God is leading them to adopt.

In China, at age 14, the children are taken out of the adoption system and are basically left on their own, he said. The Smiths hope the adoption of Guan Ya will be complete by March 9, 2013, her 14th birthday.

“Hopefully we’ll be back in China at the end of this year or the beginning of next year to adopt Guan Ya,” he said.

Some have expressed uncertainties about the couple’s decision to adopt another special needs child so soon but the Smiths know in their hearts they are following God’s plan for their lives.

“We are absolutely determined to give Guan Ya the very best that is available,” Niki Smith said.

“That does not mean she will live in a mansion or have the most popular ‘things.’

“But she will have our unconditional love and forever family. She will know about God's love and how Christ has died on the cross for our sins. And she will have the best that we can give her with language and communication ... meaning she and all of us will learn sign language,” said Niki.

In the meantime, the Smith family is enjoying welcoming their first adopted daughter GiGi home.

GiGi, also a special needs child, has scoliosis, a curvature of the spine.

When she was around five months old, GiGi was found in the doorway of a restroom in Hanan, a province in China.

Because of the scoliosis, it will be necessary for GiGi to have one or two surgeries every year, possibly until about middle school age, depending upon how successful the surgeries are, said Phil Smith.

“When we adopted GiGi, she was really weak,” Niki Smith said.

“We thought it was her special needs not allowing her to sit up from lying down, even while using the rails on the baby

If she fell over while sitting, she could not sit back up no matter how hard she tried. However, as we were still in China, she started to grow stronger and was able to use the rails to pull up to a sitting position.”

Over the last few weeks the Smiths have noticed GiGi has gotten much stronger and her balance is better.

GiGi loves to sing and she began dancing a few days ago.

“Colt and Macy Jade think it's the greatest! Colt cheers her on by laughing at her and Macy teaches her new moves and dances with her,” Niki said.

Reflecting on the Smith family’s most recent trip to China, Phil noted they had to stay in China longer than expected. They left the first of July and did not arrive back in the United States until the first of August. They had to spend an extra week there they had not anticipated, which incurred more expenses than planned.

Seven-year-old Macy and GiGi seemed to bond on “Gotcha Day” — the day the adoptive parents meet their child for the first time.

“GiGi bonded with Macy almost immediately. She sat in Macy’s lap for 20 minutes and Macy kind of mothered her,” he said.

The couple’s biological children, Colt and Macy, who attend Rienzi Elementary School, have been very accepting of adopting GiGi and the plan to adopt Guan Ya. Even after Guan Ya’s

adoption is complete, Phil says at some point they will adopt again or be actively involved in the adoption community to assist others.

“The things we saw in China were a huge motivation,” Phil says.

“Adoption has been both more difficult and more rewarding than we imagined. But we need to keep adopting to get children over here so they have a chance at life ... and also to have a chance at Christianity.”

Phil has presented three biblical messages at church about why the couple adopted and God's call for them to adopt. The last one was filmed and can be seen at: http:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=LDqeL7U7_ k8&feature=youtube.

“Phil is hoping to travel to other churches to present the importance of adoption and God's commandment for Christians to care for orphans,” Niki said.

He can be reached at 662-415-0190 to arrange a time for him to give a message in other churches on the importance of adoption and their call to become missionaries for the orphans.

The Smiths expressed thanks to those who have made donations toward their adoption expenses.

Our View

Invest in our community; Get involved in United Way United Way continues to make an impact in Corinth and Alcorn County.

United Way of Corinth & Alcorn County had its fall campaign kickoff luncheon last week with the very appropriate local theme this year — “Unique Apart … United Together.”

The theme speaks to the far-reaching impact the 16 local United Way agencies have on the various programs reaching out to help others.

United Way and its forerunner, The Community Fund, have been securing local funds since 1940 for the successful operation of local programs.

A lot has changed since 1940, but today United Way is still working to secure the successful operation of community programs and organizations. Due to the continued generosity of people, United Way and its forerunner, the Community Fund, has been able to allocate over $10 million to help meet the needs of agencies it supports since 1955.

The supported agencies of the local chapter include: Boys & Girls Club of Corinth, Boy Scouts, Corinth-Alcorn Literacy Council, Corinth Sportsplex Outreach, Corinth Welfare Association, 4-H Clubs, FFA, Faith Haven Inc., First Call For Help, GardnerSimmons Home for Girls, Girl Scouts, High Tech Summer Day Camp, Magnolia Regional Health Center Hospice Volunteer Training, Project Attention, S.A.F.E. Inc. and the Single Parent/Displaced Homemaker Program.

That’s an important list of some very worthy organizations with different missions, but each with the common goal of reaching out to help others.

What started as a goal of $7,500 in 1940 grew over 10 times to $368,958 in 2000. In 2012, United Way received pledges of $374,466. The need continues today.

When one invests in United Way of Corinth and Alcorn County, 99 percent of the dollars go right back into our community.

Invest in our community. Get involved. Invest in United Way. It makes a difference in many people’s lives: “Unique Apart ... United Together.”

Presidential conventions can still be fun

BY ROGER SIMON It will be hot. You will wait in long lines. Somebody will spill a drink on you. There will not be enough cabs.

If it rains, don’t even think about bringing an umbrella to the convention hall. To security people, umbrellas and bazookas are the same thing.

In the hall, it will be very, very noisy. Somebody with a wedge of cheese on his head will block your view. There will not be enough washrooms. Somebody will spill another drink on you.

And more than once, you will think to yourself, “I could have stayed home and seen this better on TV.” Which is true. But, in the end, those who actually go to the conventions will be glad they did, even though they may never be able to pinpoint exactly why.

Presidential nominating conventions are models of controlled hysteria. They are relentlessly slick and obsessively noncontroversial. They lack both surprise and necessity. They are vulgar and silly and very, very American.

They are tons of fun.

About 15,000 journalists watch about 5,500 Democratic delegates and about 2,300 Republican delegates cast symbolic votes for two nominees who have already been selected.

While the drama has been reformed away — party primaries and caucuses

now decide the nominees months before the conventions begin — the good times remain.

Political parties aren’t called parties for nothing.

But while the conventions are technically organized by the parties, they are actually controlled by the nominees, who rigidly vet and edit every speech before it is delivered.

Then-Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama gave a stirring and career-making keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in Boston in 2004. But John Kerry was the nominee, and Kerry’s speechwriters demanded that Obama cut a key line from his speech because it was too similar to a line Kerry wanted to use.

According to David Bernstein of Chicago magazine, Obama was livid. “That f----- is trying to steal a line from my speech!” Obama fumed to his chief aide, David Axelrod. Axelrod advised calm.

The Kerry people had also told Obama he would be allotted just eight minutes for his speec, which was a problem, since Obama’s first draft was 25 minutes.

Tastes and attention spans had changed over the years.

Alben Barkley, a 70-year-old senator from Kentucky and a Democratic war horse, had delivered the keynote addresses at the 1932 and 1936 Democratic conventions and was tapped to do the same at

the 1948 convention.

Writing from under his favorite apple tree in Paducah, Barkley came up with a 105-minute draft, which he cut down to 68 minutes as he delivered it. These days, no TV director in his right mind would stick with a 68-minute keynote address.

But TV was very, very new in 1948, and speakers didn’t give much of a hoot about it.

They were speaking to the people in the hall.

And the delegates in the convention hall in Philadelphia were held spellbound

by Barkley’s address. “Behold!” he concluded. “Civilization knocks at the door!

Shall we hear the voice and open the door? Or shall we ... refuse to lead the children of men out of the bondage of fear and slavery into a free world and a free life?”

Today, such highfalutin verbiage would be met with giggles. But in 1948, the delegates went wild and clogged the aisles with a 28-minute demonstration, cheering madly for Barkley.

Slowly, but inexorably, conventions lost the power to express their “wills.” They no longer had wills. Delegates on the floor became mere backdrops, stand-ins, extras for the TV picture.

And TV demanded shorter, snappier speeches.

In 2004, the Obama people finally would hand the Kerry people a 17-minute speech — which would take

Obama 21 minutes to deliver — and Obama was met with national acclaim. Four years later, Obama would be the nominee. And then president. And that keynote address had begun the process.

Convention speeches could still make a difference.

They could still change history.

But conventions had to be controlled. No nominee was going to be stampeded into picking a running mate he did not want. And no nominee wanted anything negative or even controversial at the convention.

Why do the media show up at all? Good question, and one that TV has been wrestling with for several cycles now. Prime-time commercial network coverage of conventions has been cut way back over the years, and some networks always threaten to drop live coverage entirely.

For a few days in late summer, however, the conventions are still the greatest show on Earth. And the delegates and the media show up in the hall, and the people watch and listen at home, because anything can happen.

It hardly ever does. But hope springs eternal.

Nothing left for President ‘Incomplete’ to complete “Are people better off than they were four years ago?” is hardly a trick question. It’s one of the most reliable cliches in American politics.

So Gov. Martin O’Malley, a Democrat from Maryland, should have been ready with some handy dodge when he was asked the question by Bob Schieffer of “Face the Nation.” Really, in the circumstance, any circumlocution would do.

Instead, O’Malley said “No,” igniting a firestorm and highlighting a key Democratic weakness heading into their convention with his unadorned honesty.

Which didn’t last. Within 24 hours, the skies had brightened, the malaise had lifted, and O’Malley said the country “clearly better off.”

O’Malley hadn’t done the full Booker — the act of saying what you think, as Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker did when denouncing the Obama campaign’s anti-Bain Capital ads a few months ago, then recanting shamefacedly, but he’d done a half-Booker with a twist.

O’Malley can be forgiven for his initial forthrightness.

People who make their living coming up with creative ways to avoid questions inconveRich nient to PresiLowery dent Barack Obama didn’t National Review do all that much better.

Asked twice on “Fox News Sunday” if Americans are better off, David Axelrod wouldn’t say “yes” or “no.” Asked three times on “This Week,” David Plouffe passed on a direct answer all three times.

After getting knocked around for their evasiveness, though, the Obama team recalibrated and decided to answer “absolutely” to the better-off question. The herald of the new message was none other than the man best-suited to bluster his way through a not-particularly credible statement, Vice President Joe Biden.

“America is better off today than they left us when they left,” Biden told a union rally, before adducing as evidence what he called a

“bumper sticker”: “Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive.”

The catchy bumper sticker doesn’t address the betteroff question. The query has to do with personal economic well-being. It’s a wonderful thing that bin Laden was dispatched with extreme prejudice, but it doesn’t give anyone any additional income. It’s terrific for GM’s remaining workers that they are still working, but the cost of the car company’s bailout — $35 billion — makes it a rotten deal for everyone else.

A bumper sticker can’t obscure that real median income has declined $4,300 since January 2009, the jobless rate has been above 8 percent for 42 straight months, and long-term unemployment is up and laborforce participation is down.

The Democrats can say all of this is an accident of timing: The aftereffects of the Bush recession are unfairly counted against their record. But the recovery that they take credit for is also an accident of timing. The economy wasn’t going to keep shedding 800,000 jobs a month

forever.

The recovery proved dismayingly lackluster.

Obama’s signature initiatives — a stimulus designed to sate pent-up congressional spending demands, ObamaCare, the hideously complex regulations of Dodd-Frank — were irrelevant to or crosswise with promoting a sustained, robust recovery.

Now, the president gives himself a grade of “incomplete,” as if he has much else yet to accomplish. Yet his stated second-term agenda consists only of a tax increase on the wealthy, and getting along with the same congressional Republicans he can’t abide. There’s evidently nothing for him to complete, except riding out the consequences of his misbegotten first term.

Eventually, America will be better off than they were in 2008. When that day comes, this president will have had nothing to do with it.

State Briefs Associated Press

2 death penalty cases come before court JACKSON — Death row inmate Howard Dean Goodin goes back before the Mississippi Supreme Court on Oct. 2 with arguments that he is mentally disabled and should not be executed for the 1998 shooting death of a Union, Miss., man.

A second death row inmate — Jason Lee Keller, who was sentenced to death in Harrison County for killing a Biloxi convenience store owner in 2007 — is set for hearing on his case on Oct. 15.

The cases are among dozens the state Supreme Court has on its September-October docket.

Goodin’s first courtordered mental evaluation came in 2003. He was found competent.

Goodin appealed to the Supreme Court, again arguing that he was mental disabled and his attorney’s failure to pursue the competency issues at his trial required another evaluation.

In 2009, the Supreme Court ordered a second mental examination. After the second evaluation, Scott County Circuit Judge Marcus Gordon in 2010 again found Goodin competent.

Goodin was sentenced to death in Lamar County in 1999 for the Nov. 5, 1998, armed robbery and murder of Union store owner Willis Rigdon, 64.

At Goodin’s trial, a surveil-

lance tape played in court showed he entered Rigdon Enterprises, stole from the cash register and took a VCR and videotape, according to the court record.

The surveillance tape also showed Rigdon raising his hands as he was led at gunpoint from the store and forced into his pickup truck.

Rigdon was shot with a pistol after a short trip down a nearby dirt road. He was dumped in a ditch and died later at a hospital.

Defense rests in trial over sheriff’s death OXFORD — A woman charged with running over and killing George County Sheriff Garry Welford in 2010 has declined to testify at her murder trial.

Brandy Nicole Williams rested their case Friday without her taking the witness stand.

The trial is scheduled to resume Monday in Oxford with a state rebuttal witness and closing arguments.

Williams faces life in prison without the possibility of parole if she’s convicted of capital murder. Her thenboyfriend, Christopher Lee Baxter, was convicted of the same charge in May. Williams is accused of driving the pickup truck that struck and killed Welford as she and Baxter fled from authorities on July 21, 2010. Baxter was wanted on an arrest warrant issued after he missed a sentencing date for drug convictions.

A defense lawyer has

said Williams didn’t intend to kill the sheriff.

Three defense witnesses testified Friday about Williams’ character and her mental state before and after meeting Baxter.

Man pleads guilty in child porn case OXFORD — Court records say a man has pleaded guilty in a child pornography case.

The indictment in the case says Jeffrey Lee Jones knowingly possessed images of child pornography in April 2011.

He pleaded not guilty in May. The change of plea hearing was held Thursday in U.S. District Court in Oxford.

He faces up to 10 years

at sentencing. Court records did not show a sentencing date.

History preservation plans begin in town GREENVILLE — The city of Greenville has approved plans for a Historic Preservation District.

The Delta Democrat Times reports that the district’s boundaries and ordinances differ from the National Register that will go before the Mississippi Department of Archives and History on Sept. 20.

An amendment includes a clause that gives downtown property owners freedom to make their own decisions by choosing to opt-out of the district.

Battle over owning America’s story WASHINGTON — Over and over, they spun different versions of the same notion. We are telling America’s story, they said. We are redefining, recapturing, reframing the American dream. A deep obsession with the story of America — who tells it and who gets to write its next chapter — was a rare piece of common ground that speakers at the Republican and Democratic conventions managed to share.

“We are all here to reignite the American dream,” said House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California. “Our national story is one of confronting challenges,” said Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, a Republican.

“Let me tell you my American story,” said Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md. “We’re special because dreams that are impossible anywhere else come true here,” said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. Mitt Romney spoke passionately of “the essence of the American experience.” Barack Obama talked emphatically of “the basic bargain at the heart of America’s story.”

So it went, with more than 150 mentions of America’s “story” or “dream” across the two conventions. Why not?

This is, after all, an entire nation founded upon a story of promise and prosperity, of exceptionalism and starting anew, a shared story that to some extent still holds America together and to some extent tears it apart.

A political convention is many things, and an explosion of storytelling

is obviously one of them.

But burrow deeper into the stories and into the notion of political storytelling itself, and there are clues about how Americans see themselves and where they differ.

War-weary US ignores troop deaths WASHINGTON — It was another week at war in Afghanistan, another string of American casualties, and another collective shrug by a nation weary of a faraway conflict whose hallmark is its grinding inconclusiveness.

After nearly 11 years, many by now have grown numb to the sting of losing soldiers like Pfc. Shane W. Cantu of Corunna, Mich. He died of shrapnel wounds in the remoteness of eastern Afghanistan, not far from the getaway route that Osama bin Laden took when U.S. forces invaded after Sept.

11, 2001, and began America’s longest war.

Cantu was 10 back then.

Nearly every day the Pentagon posts another formulaic death notice, each one brief and unadorned, revealing the barest of facts - name, age and military unit - but no words that might capture the meaning of the loss.

Cantu, who joined the Italy-based 173rd Airborne Brigade on Sept.

11 last year and went to Afghanistan last month, was among five U.S. deaths announced this past week, as the Democrats and Republicans wrapped up back-to-back presidential nominating conventions.

American troops are still dying in Afghanistan at a pace that doesn’t often register beyond their hometowns. So far this year, it’s 31 a month

on average, or one per day. National attention is drawn, briefly, to grim and arbitrary milestones such as the 1,000th and 2,000th war deaths. But days, weeks and months pass with little focus by the general public or its political leaders on the individuals behind the statistics.

Each week at war has a certain sameness for those not fighting it, yet every week brings distinct pain and sorrow to the families who learn that their son or daughter, brother or sister, father or mother was killed or wounded.

Americans feel safer than 4 years ago WASHINGTON — As Americans debate whether they are better off now than they were four years ago, there is a similar question with a somewhat easier answer: Are you safer now than you were when President Barack Obama took office?

By most measures, the answer is yes.

More than a decade after terrorists slammed planes into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon and the Pennsylvania countryside, Americans have stopped fretting daily about a possible attack or stockpiling duct tape and water. Getting through airport security has become a routine irritation, not a grim foreboding.

While the threat of a terrorist attack has not disappeared, the combined military, intelligence, diplomatic and financial efforts to hobble al-Qaida and its affiliates have escalated over the past four years and paid off. Terrorist leaders, including Osama bin Laden, are dead and their networks in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia disrupted.

Weak jobs report delivers blow to Obama

BY TOM RAUM Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The disappointing August jobs report raises yet another campaign obstacle for President Barack Obama and makes his hopes of holding onto his own job even more challenging â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially in closely contested battleground states with painfully high levels of unemployment.

Coming less than 12 hours after the president accepted his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination for a second term, the lackluster report could wipe out or diminish any traditional bounce in the polls he might have gotten from the festive, well-choreographed three-day Democratic National Convention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The broad message here is flat, flat, flat,â&#x20AC;? said economist Heidi Shierholz with the labor-affiliated Economic Policy Center.

A disappointing report for one month might be dismissed in normal times as an aberration, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but a stagnant report when the unemployment rate is over 8 percent represents a continuation of the crisis,â&#x20AC;? meaning that getting back to pre-recession employment levels will take many more months, even years.

The bleak news played right into the hands of Republicans, who claim that Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies inhibit job production and have made the economic

picture worse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you see the jobs report this morning by the way?â&#x20AC;?

Republican rival Mitt Romney asked reporters in Sioux City, Iowa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost 400,000 people dropped out of the work force altogether. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is simply unimaginable.â&#x20AC;?

The overall unemployment rate declined from 8.3 percent to 8.1 percent last month, which should be good news, but the â&#x20AC;&#x153;improvementâ&#x20AC;? came only because more people gave up looking for work.

Just 96,000 new jobs were created in August, sharply down from the revised July number of 141,000 and below the threshold of 100,000 to 150,000 new jobs needed each month just to keep pace with workingage population growth.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good news for an incumbent president up for re-election in just 60 days. It was another sharp reminder that the economy isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend.

Even though the president likes to talk about recent private-sector job growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for 30 consecutive months now, as he noted Friday in a campaign stop in New Hampshire â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there are still 261,000 fewer people employed today than when he was sworn in. The jobless rate then was 7.9 percent. It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been below 8 percent since.

Job production clearly is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not good enoughâ&#x20AC;? and the economy needs

to churn out jobs faster, the president said, calling the road to recovery â&#x20AC;&#x153;a long, tough journey.â&#x20AC;?

Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobs report complicates the electoral math for Obama and increases the political pressure on his campaign in battleground states with unemployment rates even higher than the national average. Nevada, for instance, has a 12 percent jobless rate, North Carolina has 9.6 percent, Michigan 9 percent, Florida 8.8 percent and Colorado 8.3 percent. Those state figures are all for July, the most recent month available.

So far, Obama has generally held the edge in polls in many of these states.

Both Obama and Romney campaigned Friday in battleground states with better-thenaverage jobs numbers.

Unemployment in New Hampshire in July was 5.4 percent and in Iowa, 5.3 percent. Other battleground states in this category are Virginia, at 5.9 percent; Ohio at 7.2 percent, Wisconsin at 7.3 percent and Pennsylvania at 7.9 percent.

Expect both campaigns to redouble their efforts and spending in the higher unemployment states.

Jared Bernstein, a former economics aide in the Obama White House assigned to Vice President Joe Biden, suggested the administration needs to do more to emphasize how its auto-industry bailout has helped bring back jobs in the automobile and related industries. Biden himself made this a major point in his convention speech Thursday night.

Obama aides suggested that the jobs report reminds people of what they already knew â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that the economy is healing, but slowly.

White House senior adviser David Plouffe said despite Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobs report, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we come out of the convention with momentum.â&#x20AC;? But, he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the race is going to change significantly.â&#x20AC;?

The Romney campaign, enjoying a recent fundraising edge over the president, began airing a barrage of new ads shaped to fit the situations in different states and regions.

The weak August employment report â&#x20AC;&#x153;just goes to show that nobody in the administration really appreciated early on the depth of the hole we fell into in 2008,â&#x20AC;? including Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and former White House economic adviser Lawrence Summers, said Ross Baker, a political science professor at Rutgers University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took 10 years to get out of the Great Depression,â&#x20AC;? said Baker. He said people shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised â&#x20AC;&#x153;if this recovery is half as long.â&#x20AC;?

Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist for IHS Global, said that, if he were advising the Obama campaign, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still creating jobs, though not at a satisfactory pace.

It shows how important it is to stick with us and let the policies we put in place bear fruit.â&#x20AC;?

But, Gault added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more optimistic that whoever wins the presidency, the next four years will be much better than the past four years.â&#x20AC;?

Bulldogs beat SEC West foe

BY DAVID BRANDT Associated Press

STARKVILLE, Miss. — As Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen watched the dropped passes, missed field goals and costly penalties mount, he couldn’t help but wonder if he was watching one of those sad, what-could-have-been games that have dogged the Bulldogs for years.

The triumphant ending was a welcome surprise.

Mississippi State scored 21 answered points in a dominant second half for a 28-10 victory over Auburn on Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium.

Tyler Russell threw for 222 yards and three touchdowns — including two to senior tight end Marcus Green — and LaDarius Perkins rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown.

The victory broke a string of unsavory trends for the Bulldogs. They had lost 10 out of the last 11 against Auburn — including four straight — and hadn’t won a Southeast-

ern Conference opener since 1999.

It was also Mullen’s first victory against the SEC Western Division’s best four teams. He was 0-12 combined against Alabama, LSU, Arkansas and Auburn until Saturday’s breakthrough.

Now Mullen can concentrate on his stated goal since he arrived at Mississippi State (2-0, 1-0 SEC) four years ago — putting the Bulldogs in position to contend in the SEC’s Western Division.

“A lot of you guys think that this means I’ve got the monkey off my back,” Mullen said.

“But in my mind, a bigger one just jumped on. I hope in November, we’re talking about an 800-pound gorilla on my back. That’s where I want my program.”

Auburn briefly took a 10-7 lead when Onterio McCalebb returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown to open the second half, but not much else went right.

The Tigers (0-2, 0-1) struggled through an awful offensive performance, handcuffed by a passing game that alternated between nonexistent and atrocious.

Quarterback Kiehl Frazier was especially bad in the first half — completing just 1 of 7 passes for minus-2 yards and two interceptions. He finished 13 of 22 passing for 125 yards, three interceptions and two lost fumbles.

Auburn coach Gene Chizik stuck with the 6-foot-2, 226-pound sophomore until the bitter end, keeping backup Clint Moseley on the bench.

“I don’t think it is just one player,” Chizik said. “Sometimes it is protection, sometimes it is missing an open receiver. Other than that last drive, we struggled all day in the passing game. Everybody wants to bring up Kiehl Frazier, but there are 10 other guys out there with him.”

While Frazier was strug-

gling, his counterpart Russell had a breakout performance.

The 6-foot-5, 210-pound junior was deadly accurate when given time in the pocket, completing 20 of 29 passes without throwing an interception.

“I don’t know how to explain it,” Russell said. “Everyone wants the ball. Everyone is hungry.”

McCalebb briefly gave Auburn hope at the beginning of the second half with his stunning touchdown on the kickoff return. He was barely touched as he weaved through Mississippi State’s defense.

But the Bulldogs overcame that costly mistake, leaning on Russell as he picked apart Auburn’s secondary on the next drive. It ended with a beautiful 13-yard touchdown pass, thrown on the run to Chad Bumphis, and Mississippi State never looked back.

Walnut Wildcats fall to Middleton

BY DONICA PHIFER dphifer@dailycorinthian.com

A rally in the fourth quarter wouldn’t be enough for the Walnut Wildcats as the team fell to the Middleton Tigers of Tennessee.

The Tigers earned an easy lead in the 1st quarter, led

by Rodreco Trittman on a 29 yard run and two field goals.

Middleton would earn another six points from a 90 yard dash by Davion Harris in the opening minutes of the second quarter.

The Wildcats would earn their first points of the game off a safety from Maik Wilson.

Devonte Bell would later run for a touchdown, while Dylan Barnes would connect with Kylan Crum for a 2 point conversion late in the quarter.

Both squads would earn six points in the third quarter, a 21 yard pass to Josh Kennamore putting the Tigers up by 16.

Crum ‘s 14 yard run late in the third would level the field for the Wildcats.

The fourth quarter would be the decision maker, as a 42 yard run would put the Tigers up another six points.

Dylan Barnes would answer for the Wildcats three min-

utes later, with a 22 yard run.

Another score by the Tigers would place the score 38-22 in favor of the Tigers.

Crum would score one final time off a 46 yard run, as a two point conversion would fail in the final minutes for a score of 38-28.

Wallace passes for 3 TDs to lead Mississippi over UTEP Associated Press

OXFORD, Miss. — Bo Wallace threw for three touchdown passes and ran for another Saturday night as Mississippi defeated Texas-El Paso 28-10, improving to 2-0 for only the second time in 10 seasons.

Wallace finished 15 of 22 for 174 yards and rushed

11 times for 53 yards as the Rebels built a 21-0 halftime lead. The Rebels finished with 538 yards of total offense, including 113 yards by Jeff Scott on 13 carries.

UTEP (0-2), after failing to score an offensive touchdown in six quarters, rallied to pull within

21-10 in the third quarter.

Nick Lamaison finished 21 of 33 for 213 yards but was sacked five times and the Miners never seriously threatened in the final quarter.

Ole Miss set the tone on its opening possession, as Wallace’s first completion was a 55-yard touchdown

pass to Donte Moncrief.

The stop-and-go sideline route was the longest play of the game as Moncrief finished with three catches for 72 yards.

UTEP couldn’t capitalize on a pair of secondquarter scoring opportunities. Lamaison was stopped on fourth-and-

goal at the 3-yard line by tackle Gilbert Pena. On the ensuring series, reserve quarterback Carson Meger was picked off in the end zone by Rebels safety Cody Prewett.

Ole Miss broke it open with consecutive touchdown drives of 97 and 84 yards to push its ad-

vantage to 21-0. Wallace capped the initial drive with a 51-yard touchdown strike to Jaylen Walton and finished the final scoring series with a 4-yard run with 28 seconds left.

Russell said. “That’s one that we do in (preseason) camp. The defense or special teams gives up a quick score and we have to go out there and make a play.”

Mississippi State took a 7-3 lead by halftime after a 30-yard touchdown pass from Russell to Green midway through the second quarter. The margin could have been much bigger.

The Bulldogs squandered two interceptions by cornerback Johnthan Banks in Auburn territory, failing to score on both ensuing possessions. Devon Bell also missed two field goals — a 36-yarder that was pulled wide left and a 43-yarder that was blocked.

Banks has 14 career interceptions, the most for an active player in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

The early offensive ineptitude brought back memories of Auburn’s 3-2 victory over Mississippi State in 2008, a game long lamented by both sides for its ugliness.

But the Bulldogs improved quickly. The Tigers did not.

Auburn did not have an offensive touchdown and has scored only one through two games this season. Mike Blakely led Auburn with 42 yards rushing.

Mississippi State outgained Auburn 388-216, and that margin doesn’t do the rout justice.

The Tigers had 90 total yards through three quarters, moving the ball only when the Bulldogs had the game well in hand.

“It was mind-boggling,” Auburn defensive back Jermaine Whitehead said. “We thought this was a game we could take.

We missed a lot of opportunities out there.”

REBELS CONTINUED FROM 8A

series of the second half. Lamaison connected with Jordan Leslie on a 26-yard touchdown pass to pull within 21-7 with 10:57 left in the third quarter.

Steven Valadez added a 37yard field goal with 2:58 left in the third to cut the deficit to 2110. Ole Miss sealed it two series later, as Wallace capped a 69yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass to H. R. Greer.

Bray helps Tennessee trounce Georgia State

Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — AJ McCarron passed for 219 yards and matched his career high with four touchdown passes to lead No. 1 Alabama to a 35-0 win over Western Kentucky on Saturday.

McCarron had two scoring tosses apiece to Christion Jones and Kevin Norwood in a performance that was more about big plays than consistent, muscleflexing dominance for the topranked Crimson Tide (2-0).

The Hilltoppers (1-1) were 40-point underdogs and between top 10 opponents Michigan and No. 8 Arkansas.

BY STEVE MEGARGEE Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.— Justin Hunter tied a school singlegame record Saturday by catching three of Tyler Bray’s four touchdown passes, as Tennessee trounced Football Championship Subdivision program Georgia State 51-13 in its home opener Saturday.

Hunter caught eight passes for 146 yards in his second game back for Tennessee (2-0) after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last September. A Tennessee player had caught three touchdown

passes in a game eight previous times, most recently by Chris Hannon in a 59-21 victory over Mississippi State in 2003.

Bray went 18 of 20 for 310 yards and completed his last 13 passes, the third-longest streak in school history. His other touchdown pass was a 19-yarder to Mychal Rivera, who was celebrating his 22nd birthday.

Rajion Neal added two touchdown runs for Tennessee, which broke the game open against the Panthers (0-2) when Hunter scored twice in the last 4 ½ minutes of the first half.

The blowout assures Tennessee takes a perfect record into next week’s Southeastern Conference opener against Florida, which has beaten the Volunteers seven consecutive times.

The Vols recorded their highest single-game point total since Derek Dooley took over the program in 2010.

Tennessee also won its first two games last year thanks in part to the Bray-Hunter combination, but the season went downhill from there.

Hunter tore the ACL in his left knee early in a loss to Florida in the Vols’ third game of

2011. Bray missed five games later in the year with a fractured right thumb and wasn’t the same upon his return. The Vols finished 5-7 for their second straight losing season, the first time in a century they had posted losing records in backto-back years.

Bray and Hunter now seem back in peak form.

Through his first two games of the season, Bray has thrown for 643 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions.

Bray didn’t throw an incompletion after the first quarter today.

Bride stealing custom hot in Bucharest

BY ALISON MUTLER Associated Press

Crystal J. Andrews, Nathaniel B. Null

Andrews — Null Miss Crystal J. Andrews and Mr. Nathaniel B. Null will exchange wedding vows at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29 at J.P. Coleman State Park in Iuka.

The bride-elect is the daughter of Tim and Connie Andrews of Pontotoc.

The prospective bridegroom is the son of Jerry and Millie Null of Corinth.

Miss Andrews is a 2004 graduate of Pontotoc High School. She received her associate degree from Itawamba Community College. She is presently employed at North MS Medical Center in Iuka.

Mr. Null is a 2001 graduate of Corinth High School and will graduate in 2013 with a mechanist degree from Northeast Mississippi Community College. He is presently employed at Caterpillar Inc. All friends and relatives of the couple are invited to attend the ceremony and the reception which follows.

BUCHAREST, Romania — A white limousine screeches to a halt and a bride, resplendent in frothy gown and veil, is hauled outside by her abductors.

It’s one of Romania’s more colorful customs: bride-napping. And the tradition of snatching the bride from under the nose of groom and guests with the wedding party in full swing is getting bigger, brasher and an increasingly common sight in the Romanian capital, the Balkans’ undisputed party town.

Every Saturday night, brides from Bucharest and beyond are dragged away in a mock abduction by friends and driven to a top tourist spot

som” — like singing a song, dancing or sometimes paying real money.

In Romania, the custom took off a few years ago when a top football player rented Bucharest’s Arch of Triumph, a major monument modeled after its iconic namesake in Paris, and proposed there to his girlfriend.

There was no kidnapping involved but the scene stuck in the popular imagination as a symbol of marriage — and soon the monument became a sort of midnight mecca for bride-napping.

A recent Saturday, about 20 brides were held hostage at the Arch of Triumph, which was built in 1922 to honor Romanian soldiers who died during World War I and to celebrate the

where they are “held hostage” — all the while pouting, dancing and striking provocative poses for the cameras.

The ransom: a few bottles of whisky or perhaps something more romantic, like a public declaration of love from the abandoned groom. The kidnappers negotiate by phone, working out the details of the payoff.

It’s all harmless theatrics meant to add a whiff of risque fun to the nuptials.

Mock abductions of brides are part of marriage ceremonies across the former Soviet Union.

In some countries, guests lock up a bride or have her hide in a backroom during celebrations, demanding that the bridegroom delivers a “ran-

reunification of Transylvania with the rest of Romania.

One bride was driven in from her wedding in a town an hour east of Bucharest with a gaggle of guests in tow. Another grabbed the toy machine gun of her kidnappers, dressed up as Taliban, and pretending to use it in front of the monument.

Authorities turn a blind eye to the partying under the monument, technically illegal because it’s a historic landmark. Motorists cruise around the square honking, waving and cheering.

The outdoor party is one way for Romanians, frustrated with austerity measures and feuding politicians, to let off steam.

One bride, 25-year-old Alisar Dragne, says her abduction was scripted from start to finish.

“Everything was staged and ready in my case.

The limousine was waiting for me in front of the restaurant, I was given the ‘leave’ signal by my friends and together we came here to have some fun,” she said. “Now everyone’s thinking what ransom to ask the groom.”

George Neascu, a Roma musician, who plays at the monument every week for small change, said the bridestealing custom is as old as living memory.

“All sorts of people come here,” said Neascu, “both those who have lots of money and those who have less.”

Urge to parent adult children gets chilly reception DEAR ABBY: Why must we walk on eggshells around our adult children? I have many friends with the same problem. Only one of them is able to open up and tell her kids how she feels.

You advised if a daughter goes out with a bum, learn to find something good about the bum. I’d like to tell that daughter the guy is a bum, or her kids and her house are a mess. But even if I criticize politely, and say very carefully how I feel, our adult children withhold their children or themselves and there goes

ger have to listen or abide by it. I’m not sure what it is they are doing (or not doing) that you would like to criticize, but if it has something to do with their children, remember that parenting styles have changed with time.

It’s regrettable, but many families are no longer close in the way that families were a few decades ago, when the generations needed each other for baby-sitting and other kinds of help. But once the dynamics have been set, the pattern is difficult to change unless all parties are open to it -and even then it can take

the relationship.

Is there hope to change this situation? My Abigail f r i e n d s Van Buren and I would like Dear Abby to know!

-- WALKING ON EGGSHELLS DEAR WALKING: As a parent, your instinct will always be to “parent” your children. But after children become adults, the kind of advice you would like to deliver becomes less welcomed -- and the “kids” no lon-

professional help.

DEAR ABBY: A friend from work has a boyfriend who constantly cheats and lies to her.

She cries to me about it, and I can’t help but get annoyed because it happens over and over. A week later, she loves him again and forgives him.

She wants me and my boyfriend to go out on a double date. How can I avoid it without hurting her feelings? Should I tell her the truth, that I want nothing to do with that dirtbag, or say I’m “too busy”? -- SHOULDER TO CRY ON IN FLORIDA

DEAR SHOULDER: Don’t call her boyfriend a dirtbag or any other names, although they are probably accurate.

Just thank her for thinking of it but tell her that as much as you like her, knowing how he has treated her, you wouldn’t be able to look him in the eye.

Corinth’s Dixon receives white coat at ceremony Special to the Daily Corinthian

Jenna Dixon of Corinth recently received her white coat at the Physician Assistant Program Class of 2013 White Coat Ceremony at Lincoln Memorial UniversityDeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine (LMUDCOM) in Harrogate, Tenn.

Dixon is a second-year physician assistant student at LMU-DCOM. The first White Coat Ceremony was held in 1993 at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons and is now a standard ritual in physician assistant programs as well as allopathic and osteopathic medical schools across the country. The White Coat Ceremony is an important, public demonstration of a student’s commitment to patient care and pro-

fessionalism. During the ceremony, each physician assistant student is presented and “robed” with his or her short white laboratory coat. The ceremony is considered to be a rite of passage, in that an individual has demonstrated the qualities and abilities to provide competent care and can move on to the next phase of his or her training.

The DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine is located on the campus of Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tenn.

LMU-DCOM is an integral part of LMU’s values-based learning community, and is dedicated to preparing the next generation of health care professionals to provide health care in the often underserved region of Appalachia and beyond.

Prince Harry in Afghanistan to fly Apache copters Associated Press

CAMP BASTION, Afghanistan — Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, began a four-month combat tour Friday in Afghanistan as a gunner on an Apache attack helicopter, fresh from a vacation that included strip billiards in a Las Vegas hotel.

It was the second tour in Afghanistan for Harry, 27, who will start flying missions within 10 days in the country’s restive Helmand province, the British military said. In 2007-08, he served in Helmand as an air traffic controller.

Looking relaxed if slightly tired, Harry gave a thumbs-up Friday after a long journey on a troop carrier flight from England to Britain’s Camp Bastion, a sprawling desert base near the southern Afghan town of Lashkar

Gah. Capt. Harry Wales, as he is known in the military, wore his combat uniform and joined his 100-strong unit — the 662 Squadron, 3 Regiment Army Air Corps.

As part of the Apache’s two-man crew, Harry will be both a co-pilot and the gunner responsible for firing the Apache’s wingmounted aerial rockets, Hellfire laser-guided missiles and 30mm machine gun.

Britain has around 9,500 troops in Afghanistan, mainly based in Helmand province, and has suffered 425 deaths since the start of operations there in 2001.

“Prince Harry, like any soldier, considers it a great honor to represent his country in her majesty’s armed forces wherever it chooses to deploy him,” St James’s Palace

said in a statement.

Harry did not speak as he arrived in Helmand, and was not expected to comment publicly on his work for several weeks.

The prince’s previous posting as a battlefield air traffic controller in Afghanistan in late 2007 and early 2008 lasted only 10 weeks. It was cut short after his deployment was made public.

Britain’s defense ministry had asked the news media not to report information surrounding the prince’s deployment, saying the publicity could put him and his colleagues in greater danger, but an Australian magazine not aware of the agreement broke the news. It was picked up by both the Drudge Report website and a German publication.

With his typical humor, Harry joked at the time

about his nickname “the bullet magnet.” His job was to direct attack helicopters and fighter jets to targets on the ground.

But with that time in Afghanistan, Harry became the first member of the British royal family to serve in a war zone since his uncle, Prince Andrew, flew as a helicopter pilot in the 1982 Falklands war with Argentina.

Next Saturday, the prince will celebrate his 28th birthday at Camp Bastion — but he won’t be able to raise a toast with one of his beloved cocktails. The desert compound, which is next door to the U.S. military’s Camp Leatherneck base, is an alcohol-free zone.

Before leaving for Afghanistan, Harry said farewell to his immediate family at Queen Elizabeth II’s private estate in Scotland, Balmoral, and

stopped to see his brother Prince William at his Kensington Palace home in London earlier this week.

St James’s Palace said Prince Charles was “immensely proud of his son” and he and the queen had been briefed on the details of Harry’s deployment.

Harry was met Friday at Camp Bastion by Royal Navy Capt. Jock Gordon, commander of the Joint Aviation Group.

“Working alongside his colleagues in the squadron, he will be in a difficult and demanding job,” Gordon said.

Britain’s defense ministry decided to confirm Harry’s deployment this time after a threat assessment concluded that making the details public would not put Harry or his colleagues at any additional risk.

In an interview last March, Harry insisted he was eager to return to combat after training to fly Apache helicopters, including at U.S. bases in California and southern Arizona.

“I’ve served my country. I enjoyed it because I was with my friends. And, you know, everyone has a part to play,” he told CBS News.

“You can’t train people and then not put them into the role they need to play. For me personally, as I said, I want to serve my country. I’ve done it once, and I’m still in the Army, I feel as though I should get the opportunity to do it again,” he said then.

In May 2007, the British military prevented Harry from heading out on a planned six-month tour of duty to Iraq because the risks to his safety were deemed too great.

YouTube’s new WIGS channel finds the drama in women

BY FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — Not to play favorites, but if you’d like to sample the tasty new WIGS channel, just take 9 minutes and try “Denise.”

This nifty little set piece was written by celebrated playwright Neil LaBute, directed by Lee Toland Krieger (“Celeste & Jesse Forever”) and stars straight-from-“TheNewsroom” Alison Pill and Chris Messina as two actors awaiting auditions who awkwardly revisit a past one-night stand.

“Denise” is witty, wellobserved and packs a sly punch. It’s a treat.

Appetite whetted?

There’s plenty more

WIGS where that came from: a dozen titles so far, with more rolling out through November. They will collectively comprise some 100 video chapters, most of them 6 minutes to 8 minutes in length.

Warning: WIGS could prove habit-forming.

Launched in May as one of YouTube’s numerous new channels of original content, WIGS is a destination for short films — both series and one-offs — unlike anything you’re likely to find on TV or a movie screen.

Each work focuses on a female protagonist in a novel situation (whether funny, sad or in-between) as performed by a topnotch cast including A-list

actors and actresses along with promising newcomers. The roster of writers is equally impressive, including unexpected names like Mitch Albom and Scott Turow. Half of the directors are women.

Handsomely produced, WIGS even boasts intoxicating theme music by multi-Oscar-nominated Thomas Newman.

The channel’s name (an acronym for Where It Gets Interesting) is meant to address the multifaceted nature of women, who in their daily lives are called upon to wear, metaphorically, not only many hats but also many wigs.

The creators of WIGS are two men who, despite

Horoscopes Sunday, September 9, 2012

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate

When a person says, “Can I have your opinion?” often what is really wanted is something else entirely -- for instance, your attention, business, love or approval. As the moon slips from expressive Gemini into intuitive Cancer, use your deeper emotional faculties to understand the true meaning of personal exchanges.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have many wonderful friends you do not see regularly for the simple reason that your schedules do not easily mesh. Happily, that’s about to change.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The child’s mind watches a daring feat and believes without a doubt, “I can do that.” The adult’s mind recognizes a paradox: It takes a lot of effort to appear effortless.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your attitude is upbeat and confident. You show that you care as much or more about others as you do about forwarding your own interests. Socially, you can do no wrong.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Something comes up, and there will be a slightly urgent reason to get immediate answers. Pursuing the subject will connect you with interesting new friends.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you’re learning something new, it’s totally normal to get worse at it before you get better. But if the trend continues, put some space between you and the project. Perspective is needed. A Libra can help.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll

gain fans. The tangible results of your work are not the only reason people will follow you. People will become fascinated by anything you give, including your support.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s amazing to you that some people quit just when they should be trying harder because the goal is close at hand.

When something is not working, you change your strategy and give it another go.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Stay confident, even if you see the competition and it scares you. Don’t disqualify yourself in your own mind before the game has begun. You have an edge, which you’ll only realize when you stay to play.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll be in charge in some way. You may have to deliver some criticism because of your role, but you’ll do this in good humor. The kindness in your voice makes people understand that you’re on their side.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There was that one time -- and it stands out in your mind now -- when you sabotaged your own success. Today you’ll have a chance to right the situation or, more likely, a similar situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Unfortunately, for many people, it’s not having love but getting love that’s exciting. You enjoy a good chase as much as the next person, but you will wisely cherish your catch.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you let someone validate you, that means you’re also giving them the power to invalidate you. If anyone is going to give you points for good behavior, let it be you.

their Y chromosomes, have built careers exploring the world of women.

Writer-producer-director Jon Avnet’s credits include the films “Black Swan” and “Risky Business” and the TV series “The Starter Wife.” Rodrigo Garcia produced the HBO series “In Treatment” and “Six Feet Under” and directed the gender-bender feature “Albert Nobbs,” which earned its star, Glenn Close, a best-actress Oscar nod.

Several years ago they began cooking up WIGS as a way to mold their artistic visions to the Internet medium while targeting what they saw as an underserved Web audi-

ence: adult women.

They also wanted to adapt for the Web the experience of cinema.

“The Internet isn’t going to be dogs on skateboards forever,” says Garcia. “We wanted to produce projects that are entertaining but aren’t as disposable as what was gaining popularity at the time.”

The guidelines, in a sense, were simple: Each project had to have a woman at its center, “and we wanted her to be multidimensional and difficult to pin down at times,” says Avnet. “We want it more complex than broadcast, not as graphic as cable. Beyond that, our green-light committee

is two guys who look at each other and say, ‘Well, whattaya think?”’

Production of the programs began last November and continued in Los Angeles through March in what Avnet describes as “an insanely demanding task.”

“Budgets were tight and we were shooting very quickly,” adds Garcia.

“But in exchange there was freedom and the excitement of working on something new.”

Avnet considers it “highly likely” that WIGS will be invited to do a second cycle of films.

YouTube isn’t saying when it will declare WIGS’ fate. But it’s putting out enthusiastic signals.

Buford boys â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Civil War was cousin vs. cousin

BY TOM PARSON NPS Ranger

Have you ever seen the movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gettysburg?â&#x20AC;?

What a great film, even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a certified Civil War nut. One of my favorite actors, Sam Elliot, does an exceptional job portraying Maj.Gen. John Buford. I can see him thumping his chest and giving his speech about taking the high ground. Hollywood at its best!

Even more impressive was the real Gen. Buford, who did as much as anyone to assure the Union victory at that Pennsylvania crossroads town.

John Buford, West Point class of 1848, was just one of a family of military men who left their mark on America.

His grandpa Simeon was a cavalry trooper during the Revolution and served under Henry â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lighthorseâ&#x20AC;? Lee, the father of Robert E. Lee, and his great-uncle Abraham Buford held the rank of colonel in a Virginia regiment. Two other relatives of Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were generals in the Civil War and both walked the streets of Corinth.

Nineteen years older than John was his halfbrother, Brig. Gen. Napoleon Bonaparte Buford.

(Talk about a name to live up to if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a soldier).

Napoleon attended West Point as well, and graduated in 1827. He served in the artillery, taught at the Academy for a few semesters and then resigned to attend Harvard. He remained a civilian until the outbreak of the war when he was given command of an Illinois regiment. He fought in a few minor battles in Missouri but his big chance for fame and glory came on Oct. 3, 1862, in Corinth.

Napoleon was commanding a brigade in the division of Gen. Charles

Brig. Gen. Abraham Buford, C.S. Army

Brig. Gen. Napoleon B. Buford, U.S. Army

Maj. Gen. John Buford, U.S. Army Hamilton and late in the day orders came for Hamilton to make an attack against the left of the Confederate line. The Confederates were not aware of the Union troops to the east and were vulnerable to a flank attack, and Hamilton was in the perfect place to ruin their afternoon. Near dusk, the Federals set out from the high ground of what is now the Henry Cemetery and headed west for the enemy across the tracks of the Mobile & Ohio railroad.

Things quickly went wrong.

Confederate skirmishers fired on Bufordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brigade and rather than continue the attack to the west he veered north to chase away the culprits.

The attack was postponed until Hamilton could get the wayward Buford back

into position and by the time he had, the Confederates were aware of the threat and the hopes of a surprise attack were ended.

To be honest, Napoleon wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of a battlefield commander, but he did have a touch of the poet in him. On the morning of Oct. 4, he described the Confederate artillery bombardment directed at the forts around Corinth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At dawn the cannonading announced the beginning of another sharp contest. It was grand. The different calibers, metals, shapes, and distances of the guns caused the sounds to resemble the chimes of old Rome when all her bells rang out.â&#x20AC;?

Napoleon saw more fighting in the Vicksburg campaign and again in Arkansas, but he was kept far from the real ac-

tion for the remainder of the war.

John and Napoleon had a cousin who, like them, was raised in Kentucky and sent to the U.S. Military Academy.

Abraham Buford graduated 51st (out of 52) in the West Point Class of 1841.

He fought in the Mexican War and on the western plains but resigned in 1854 to take up the family business of horse breeding. When the war broke out, he and Kentucky both tried to remain neutral but neither succeeded. Kentucky went with the Union, but Abraham cast his lot with the Confederacy.

For the first year, he was an infantry officer and a pretty good one at that, but in 1864 he was promoted to brigadier general and transferred to the cavalry, where he excelled.

Though Abraham had been raised around horses and had served in the pre-war dragoons, he did not share the dashing im-

age of the cavalryman like his cousin John. Abraham was a bull of a man, topping the scales at better than 300 pounds, with a ruddy red beard and he often stuffed his pant legs into his big clumsy boots.

For all his great size, he was known to be quite the dancer.

Abraham Buford came to Corinth in May of 1864, a few months after the Union occupation ended. He was in command of a division in the cavalry corps of Maj. Gen. Nathan B. Forrest and his men called Corinth home for about three weeks.

Early in June, he and his men were called south and played a major role in the Confederate victory at Briceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crossroads. A few weeks later they bore the brunt of the massive casualties in the disastrous defeat at Tupelo.

John did not make it through the war. Just months after the Gettysburg victory he was struck down by yellow fever and died in Washington, D.C.

Napoleon survived the war unscathed and took on a series of government positions and died of natural causes at the age of 76. Abraham was wounded in the fighting around Nashville but recovered to fight again and was still in the saddle at the close of the war. He returned to Kentucky to raise horses, but a series of family tragedies led to his suicide in 1884.

The story of the Buford Boys is a true American Civil War story -- family against family, cousin against cousin.

It is not a unique story, however. There were hundreds if not thousands of brothers who fought on opposing sides, or fathers who faced their own sons on the field of battle.

Nor were they the only family who had so many members wearing a generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stars -- there were the Lees, Crittendens, Jacksons and McCooks, to name a few. In fact, there were 52 families that had at least two family members who served as generals in the war.

Hmmm, sounds like a good topic for another article.

Proposals could affect Mississippi’s fishermen Whenever I went fishing for catfish with my uncle Cletus on Pickwick or any other reservoir for that matter, I knew we’d be using skipjack for bait, whether as cut-bait or just using the innards.

Cletus had so much confidence in the bait he would rarely try anything else.

Skipjack has long been a popular bait of choice in fishing for catfish, and one often used by anglers fishing the tail-waters of Pickwick. Ask any catfish tournament angler what they used in catching their winning weight and the answer will almost always be skipjack.

Demand for the baitfish has increased in recent

years resulting in an intense harvest which, in turn, has some fishDavid ermen and Green biologists concerned Outdoors that a limit is needed to prevent over-fishing.

During a meeting a couple of weeks ago in Nashville, the fisheries division of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency addressed the issue and proposed other changes for the state’s 2013 fishing regulations, which could ultimately affect local fishermen who fish the wa-

All of the proposed changes to the state’s 2013 fishing regulations can be seen by logging onto tnwildlife.org. ters of Pickwick and other lakes within the state.

At the meeting, TWRA officials proposed for the first time ever a creel limit on skipjack herring. The limit would be 50 per day with a possession limit of 100.

Other proposals covering a variety of topics were made, but one of particular interest to local fishermen has to do with the use of the popular bass fishing lure called the ‘’ Alabama Rig.’’

The Alabama Rig is an umbrella-style lure that enables anglers to use up to five lures at a time on a single pole. In Tennessee, anglers are allowed to use only three lures on a cast, making the rig illegal to use in Tennessee waters.

A proposal was made during the meeting that would permanently limit Tennessee anglers to using no more than three hooks per cast. “This change should simplify the rules on Alabama

and umbrella rigs,’’ said TWRA Chief of Fisheries Bobby Wilson.

Wilson thinks the three-hook proposal would be much easier to understand. Singlepoint, double-point, and three-point (treble) hooks would all be counted as one hook.

The Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission will vote on the proposals during its Oct. 26 meeting at Reelfoot Lake State Park near Tiptonville, Tenn.

All of the proposed changes to the state’s 2013 fishing regulations can be seen by logging onto tnwildlife.org. The public is encouraged to provide comments on

the proposals through Oct. 15. Comments may be sent to TWRA.Comment@tn.gov, or TWRA, Fisheries Division, P.O. Box 40747, Nashville, TN, 37204. Individuals commenting should include “2013 Fish Comments” on the subject line of emailed submissions.

Home values higher near national wildlife refuges

BY JAMES L. CUMMINGS Conservation Corner

A new peer-reviewed national study, recently released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, shows that in urban areas across three regions of the country that owning a home near a national wildlife refuge increases home value and helps support the surrounding community’s tax base.

According to the study, conducted by economists at North Carolina State University, homes located within 0.5 miles of a refuge and within 8 miles of an urban center were found to have higher home values of roughly: 7 to 9 percent in the Southeast; 4 to 5 percent in the Northeast; and 3 to 6 percent in the California region.

“National wildlife refuges protect imperiled wildlife and delight visitors,” said Service Director Dan Ashe. “These findings remind us that refuges also boost community health, sometimes in unexpected ways. National wildlife refuges enrich local communities – even in a lean economy – and generate revenue.”

Calculated in 2000 dollars, the 14 refuges in the Southeast examined in the study added $122 million to local property values.

The 11 refuges studied in the Northeast added $95 million. The 11 refuges studied in California/Nevada added $83 million.

The researchers surmised that refuges boost property values in the selected regions because refuges protect against future development while preserving scenic vistas and other “natural amenity benefits associated with open spaces.”

Researchers did not include data from the Midwest, Southwest, Central Mountains and Northwest, where refuges tend to be located further from urban centers than in the Northeast, Southeast and California/Nevada region. Most refuges in the Central Mountains and South Central portions of the country either failed to meet study criteria or were affected by factors that make assessing their impact difficult, such as their location near the border with Mexico.

County fair plans something for everyone

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn County Fair is planning something for everyone in year two.

Slated for the Crossroads Arena, the fair is Sept. 11-15 with events from a concert to lawn mower pull along with many other things during the five days.

“A majority of the additions are from requests of people after last year,” said fair committee secretary Sandy Mitchell. “We are looking to build on things every year.”

An art show along with a baked goods judging and display are just two of the fresh additions.

There will also be blacksmith and gristmill demonstrations new to the fair.

The final night of the fair will see “Take it to the Limit” -- an Eagles Concert Tribute Band -- in concert.

“We really wanted to have a concert last year,” said Mitchell. “This gives a way to reach some people that don’t normally come to the fair and the

“Most of our money goes back to the children of Alcorn County. Our focus is to help the children and youth in the county.”

Chris Porterfield Fair committee chairman group is really excited about coming.”

“Take it to the Limit” performs four nights a week in Branson, Mo. Voted Branson’s Group of the Year, the band is one of the most popular in the

vacation town.

“This kind of fell in our lap,” said committee chairman Chris Porterfield. “A local businessman contacted us about bringing the band in for the final night.”

Those that purchase concert tickets will be able to get into the rest of the fair events during the week admission free.

“We want to make it financial friendly so families will want to come,” said Mitchell.

Admission will be charged only three of the 5 nights of the fair. Children five and under get in week.

Student armbands -- that takes $2 off admission -- have also been handed out to area schools.

“Most of our money goes back to the children of Alcorn County,” said Porterfield.

“Our focus is to help the children and youth in the county.”

Mitchell and Porterfield are quick to thank the community for its support in bringing back the fair.

“We had so many civic clubs and individuals jump in and help last year,” said Mitchell. “The arena has also been very helpful in hosting the fair.”

Eagles tribute band headlines fair finale Saturday night

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Floyd Austin knows the Eagles when he hears them.

Or so he thought.

The owner of Big A Auto Sales is sponsoring the “Take it to the Limit” -- an Eagles Tribute Band -- concert at the Crossroads Arena on Saturday, September 15 at 8 p.m.

The concert is the finale for the Alcorn County Fair.

“Those guys are just outstanding,” said Austin.

“If you close your eyes, you can’t tell the difference between them and the actual Eagles.”

The business owner should know. He has been to a couple of Eagles concert and is a big fan.

“I saw them when I was 15 at the Ellis Auditorium in Memphis,” he said.

“When I heard them, I knew those guys were going to be great.”

“Take it to the Limit” performs four nights a week in Branson, Mo. Voted Branson’s Group of the Year last season, the band is one of the most popular in the vacation town.

“It’s a Branson show, so you know it’s going to be good,” said fair committee chairman Chris Porterfield.

Those who purchase concert tickets will be able to get into the rest of the fair events admission free.

“If you go to the fair three nights, a concert ticket is going to cost you less than $10,” said Austin. “We wanted the price of tickets low enough for everyone to go.”

According to Austin, the band will play 50 minutes before taking an intermission.

The group will then return for another 50 minutes of music.

“They play a lot of college towns, but they have never been east of the Mississippi River,” added Austin.

The group’s show will consist of two monstersize monitors along with a

“They are a top-notch band with a fantastic sound,” said Austin,

who stumbled across the group while in Branson.

“I can’t explain it, you just have to see it.”

Austin is open to sponsoring more shows at the arena.

“I want to be a part of building the arena into a good concert place,” he said. “If I break even, I guarantee I will have them back in eight months.”

Nelms turns mowers into pulling machines

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Lil Herb is set for its debut.

The Cub Cadet isn’t an ordinary riding mower or garden tractor.

This tractor is built to pull.

The rebuilt garden tractor of Larry Nelms is set to be part of the Lawn Mower Pull at the Alcorn County Fair on Saturday, Sept. 15 from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.

“It’s amazing to see 3-5,000 pounds pulled down a track by a lawn mower,” said Nelms who is part of the County Line Pullers. “The event will draw a crowd.”

Nelms’ Lil Herb -- a member of his Herbie’s Pulling Team -- has a 20 horsepower four-wheeler engine that is sure to grab attention when it’s cranked. The tractor is just one of six pullers that belong to Nelms.

“I just try to come up with something different to build than anyone else,” he said.

Tractor pulling competitions are decided not by how fast the vehicle is going, but rather who drags a mechanical weight transfer machine or sled the farthest. It isn’t a race. It’s a pulling event.

As the vehicle pulls the sled down the track, ballast (weights) that’s in a box which is positioned at the rear of the sled is automatically transferred (mechanically winched) forward on the frame of the sled.

This transfer of weight, or ever-increasing of weight, creates friction between the skid pan -- part of the front of the sled -- and the ground, and that in turn makes the sled harder to pull, eventually stopping the vehicle Corinth will get its first taste of the competition at the fair.

According to Nelms, competitors take old Cub Cadets or John Deere 10-12 horsepower riding mowers -- usually from the early 1960s or ’70s -- and turn them into pullers.

“They are hard to find these days,” said Nelms.

Bigger tires and a wheelie bar are added after the mowing deck is removed.

Weights are also added to the front and rear of the mowers.

Engines can also be replaced with other types such as motorcycle, four-wheeler engines or built with two lawn mower engines.

There will be several classes open to competitors at the fair. The classes are: Kids, 10 HP, 12-14 HP, 16HP, 16-20 Twin Cylinder, Modified, Two Engine, and Outlaw Exhibition.

“We make it a family-oriented event and encourage the kids to get involved,” said Nelms.

The Alcorn County Fair is Sept. 11-15 at the Crossroads Arena. Admission is $5 to the fair on the Saturday of the Lawn Mower Pull.

Fair features petting zoo

Animals are coming to Corinth.

By the bunches.

Aberdeen’s Donnie Richardson will be brining close to 80 animals to the Alcorn County Fair as part of a Petting Zoo at the Crossroads Arena.

“I think this will add a lot to the fair,” said fair secretary Sandy Mitchell.

Richardson will have “all types of farm animals” and several exotic types.

“People will get a chance to pet some things they have never seen before,” said Richardson.

Animals such as lamas, alpacas, ostriches, buffalos along with some miniature animals are slated for all five nights of the fair. A threelegged duck is even scheduled to show up.

The Petting Zoo -made possible by the efforts of the Alcorn County Soil and Water Conservation District, Farm Bureau and Mississippi Land Bank --

“The kids will get a chance to both feed and pet the animals.”

Donnie Richardson Providing petting zoo animals will consist of a 40 x 80 area that is half covered by a tent. A courtyard will also be available to give youngsters a chance to interact with the animals.

“The kids will get a chance to both feed and pet the animals,” said Richardson.

Richardson plans to have ice cream cones with feed for animals that can be purchased for a $1. That type of feeding does away with waste and garbage.

“I usually do six big events a year, and Corinth will be the first show of the year,” he said.

The petting zoo keeper is bringing 50 USDAapproved animals plus around 30 more animals.

Larry Nelms and his garden tractor, Lil Herb, will be making a debut at the Alcorn County Fair.

Revolve highlights Wednesday night

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian. com

Larry Nelms and his Herbie’s Pulling Team is bringing a lawn mower pull event to the Alcorn County Fair.

Revolve is ready to get crunk.

The ministry led by young people will be featured on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at the Alcorn County Fair.

“Revolve is a highenergy service geared toward young people,” said organizer Jonathan Marsh. “It is awesome to see the sincere worship.”

Willie “Kryst Lyke” Prince, a hip hop artist from Birmingham, Ala., will kick things off at the event set for 6-8 p.m. at the Crossroads Arena.

The Zach Fleming Band is set to follow Prince during the night.

Fleming, originally from Decatur, Ala., has led worship across the Southeast and worked with such people as Ed Newton and Wade Morris. He committed his life to sharing the Gospel through worship music.

“I believe worship is an integral part of every believer’s life,” said Fleming on the band website. “I hope to point all those I come in contact with to the hope and redemption that is found in Christ.”

“Revolve is a high-energy service geared toward young people. It is awesome to see the sincere worship.”

Jonathan Marsh Revolve organizer Ike Ubasineke is scheduled to be the featured speaker. Ubasineke, who follows the Revolve Drama Team that night, is part of the “The Basement” Leadership Development and Worship Team.

The Basement Extreme Team is dedicated to reaching the “unreachable” and letting them know of God’s love, hope, and purpose for their lives.

Revolve, held the first Monday of each month, draws students to something bigger than themselves. The 150-200 students of the ministry is getting their hands dirty and making a difference in the lives of other young people.

From ferris wheels to funnel cakes, thereʼs plenty of excitement and fun to go around at this yearʼs Alcorn County Fair! We hope you enjoy all that it has to offer.

Growing livestock show remains big part of fair

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

It’s show time.

Almost.

Work was under way all last week as organizers were getting ready for the 2nd Alcorn County Fair at the Crossroads Arena. Organizers of the Alcorn County Fair and Livestock Show started work on the barn area by setting up show rings and tying out panels for the Saturday, Sept. 15 event.

“It takes a lot of manual labor to get things ready,” said fair secretary and livestock committee member Sandy Mitchell.

“We had lot of support from the horticulture and shop classes of the Alcorn Career and Technology Center.”

Mitchell said the show is expected to have over 100 entries for the event scheduled for 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the barn.

The number is up from the 80 of last year.

“Danny Joe (Turner) really pushes the show every where he goes,” added Mitchell.

Turner is a longtime supporter of the shows and part of the fair committee.

Those who enter the show along with their family are treated to a free breakfast and lunch by show organizers.

“We try to be very accommodating and see that they have everything they need,” said livestock committee chairman Patrick Poindexter. “I can’t say enough things about the arena and how they have helped … the livestock show and fair feed off one another.”

The show is held every third Saturday in September and became part of the fair last year.

“Most county fairs are centered around a livestock show,” added Mitchell.

Youngsters 18 and under can enter the show.

“Cattle will be judged on things like appearance, balance and size,” said Poindexter. “In the Showmanship Class, the focus is more on the exhibitor and how they handle the livestock.”

A thing that sets the local show apart from most is the underage Showmanship Class.

Youngsters not eligible to compete in the regular livestock event due to their age get a chance to see what competing is like.

“It’s a good learning experience for them,” said Poindexter. “Every kid that enters also gets a trophy.”

Fifteen kids took part in the underage division last year.

Local family shares goat milking operation

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Youngsters are going to get a chance to milk a goat at the Alcorn County Fair.

Once they try the milking end, children will also be allowed to sample their work.

The exhibition is being put on by Mandie Wilbanks. Wilbanks and her husband, Josh, raise Purebred Nubian goats on their farm.

“I want children to come out and see how easily goats are kept and how wonderful the milk is,” said Mandie Wilbanks.

Wilbanks, who also works at Rickman’s Meat Market, started using goat milk after her son, Nate, was having trouble eating at 2 years old. She bought two young dairy goats and quickly learned that the milk is better in a number of ways than milk from a cow.

In fact, 65 percent of milk consumption worldwide is from goats. It has been determined that goat milk is less allergenic. Study of infants shows

that those allergic to cow milk could drink goat milk with virtually no side effects.

Goat milk is also naturally homogenized and is easier to digest. It rarely causes lactose intolerance and matches up to the human body better, according to studies.

“It’s going to be hands on,” said Wilbanks of the exhibition. “A lot of kids don’t even know goats produce milk.”

The Wilbanks family, also made up of 6-yearold Elsie, are set to bring three of the goats along with two babies to the fair on both Friday and Saturday afternoon.

Children will be allowed to also feed the smaller goats.

“I have showed livestock before, but never goats,” said the mother of two. “Elsie would milk every day, if I would let her.”

Wilbanks calls her “Nan’s Milk and Honey” venture a hobby.

“I just wanted to teach my kids how to do something since I was raised on a hog farm,” she said.

Grandma serves as surrogate, gives birth to own grandchild

BY MARTHA IRVINE AP National Writer

CHICAGO — Setting foot in a hospital again, Emily and Mike Jordan couldn’t help but feel anxious.

More than two years before, at age 29, Emily had been diagnosed with cervical cancer. But just before she was to undergo a radical hysterectomy, she was told that she was pregnant. Faced with saving her own life or their unborn child’s, the young couple made the excruciating decision to go forward with her surgery.

It meant losing the baby,

and forfeiting any chance at having their own children.

Or so they thought.

“I can’t describe what that was like after finding out you have cancer, after finding out your chance of ever carrying a baby is gone,” Emily says.

But now, more than two years later, she and Mike had come from their suburban Chicago home to the labor and delivery department of a downtown hospital to realize the dream they thought was lost — to become parents, though not the way they, or most people, would

have imagined.

Alongside them that day was Emily’s mother, Cindy Reutzel — a fit, silver-haired 53-year-old grandmother whose profile revealed a round belly, a pregnant belly.

Reutzel was about to give birth to her own grandchild.

Reutzel immediately made the offer once they learned doctors were able to save Emily’s ovaries.

“What if I carried your baby for you?” she asked.

Emily and Mike didn’t take it too seriously at first. “We didn’t really think that was a realistic

option,” says Emily.

It turned out, though, that it wasn’t really that far-fetched after all, particularly for a young grandmother who’s in good health,.

“The thought of Emily and Mike not being able to have children and share that piece of their lives with someone just broke my heart,” says Reutzel. “I want Emily to have that connection with another human being like I had with her.”

As her belly grew, people started asking about “her baby.” But she was quick to tell them the sto-

ry. This was not her baby; she was Grandma.

Admittedly, she says, she worried about the physical toll pregnancy might take, though her body handled it better than she expected. She also wondered how well she’d bounce back from a Caesarean section.

That’s how she had delivered Emily and her older brother, but that had been three decades ago.

Still, she reassured Emily and Mike throughout the pregnancy that the baby was fine, she was fine, everything would be fine.

Last week, a few days after Emily’s 32nd birthday, daughter sat next to mother, holding hands in the delivery room.

And Elle Cynthia Jordan was born.

Reutzel is recovering well. She even says she’d consider doing it again.

“When I watch both of them hold that baby and look into her face, it’s like everything I could have imagined wanting for them — better than I could have imagined,” she says, her eyes filling with tears.

“This is what it was all about for me.”
