Police want theft victims to step forward Suspect takes vehicle to sell it, then never returns with car or money

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Police say some local residents who trusted a Tippah County man to sell their vehicles for them were swindled out of both the autos and the proceeds of the sale.

The Corinth Police Department wants to hear from people who may have dealt with him or knows the whereabouts of the vehicles. CPD, Booneville Police Department and the Tippah County Sheriff’s Department all received complaints dur-

ing the weeks of Feb. 8 and Feb. 15 that John Gregory Hopper, 50, of Highway 15, Tiplersville, had taken victim’s vehicles under the pretense he was going to sell them for the victims.

A trek north next month will focus on keeping Pickwick Lake trash-free and local volunteers are needed.

Keep Corinth-Alcorn Beautiful is teaming up with Tennessee Beautiful and TVA for the Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful tour to help clean up littered sites along the Tennessee River, including Pickwick Lake.

The tour will make a stop at Pickwick Lake on Friday, March 11.

“We are so excited to partner with the two great organizations for this event,” said Keep Corinth-Alcorn Beautiful Coordinator Andrea Rose. “Many residents from Corinth and Alcorn County enjoy time at the lake and river surrounding Pickwick and now we can help protect it from getting trashy.”

The Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful project hopes to engage volunteers along the river by helping to pick up litter along the lake shorelines and debris from the river.

“In order for us to continue to enjoy the beauty of the Tennessee River, it is our responsibility to clean and protect it,” said Rose.

Former execs sentenced for defrauding investors Associated Press

JACKSON — Two former executives of a Mississippi company have been sentenced to prison for a scheme to defraud investors in a product billed as a monitoring system for nursing home patients.

U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III on Friday sentenced Mark Rodgers, 53, of Houston, to 60 months in prison and sentenced Samer N’Ser, 54, of Ridgeland, Miss., to 37 months in prison. The judge also ordered them to pay nearly $15 million in restitution to investors and to forfeit more than $400,000.

Rodgers was president and chief executive officer of Ridgeland-based Samarion Solutions Inc., formerly known as Valence Broadband Inc. N’Ser was the company’s chief technology officer.

U.S. Attorney Gregory K. Davis’ office said the former executives intentionally misled investors about the financial strength of the company and the value of the product it claimed to be developing.

who have not yet come forward.

She said the victims were acquainted with Hopper, who is a former salesman at a Corinth auto dealership, but he may have used a false name in some cases.

Hopper is currently jailed in Prentiss County with bond at $20,000 after taking a 1997 Chevrolet Corvette in Booneville and failing to return it. Last Sunday, he was arrested in Tunica County while driving the Corvette and was returned to Prentiss County, where the Booneville Police Department charged him with felony false pretense.

The same charge is pending in Corinth stemming from the alleged sale of a silver 2004 Saab convertible with tag number ACG 468. Police are also looking for a 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis that was taken in Tippah County, where a felony false pretense charge and two grand larceny charges are pending.

Glass said Hopper is under indictment for a similar incident that happened in Corinth last year.

In addition Bible readings, organizers will also meet with all interested pastors in Alcorn County.

Those who would like to participate are asked to attend the first meeting.

A non-denominational event, the National Day of Prayer brings together believers for the purpose of honoring Christ in unity.

The theme for this year’s National Day of Prayer is: “Wake Up America”.

“We ask tall churches will prayerfully consider this first meeting as we prepare to work in unity to give God all the glory,” said Dildy. “We look forward to fellowshipping with each and everyone of you.”

Andrea Rose

Rose said the project will focus on removing litter from areas that are difficult for volunteers to reach by land.

“Some volunteers will cleanup littered areas by boat,” she added.

This year the cleanup tour will target four areas including Decatur, Ala., Knoxville, Tenn., and Land Between the Lakes, Ky. Rose is asking locals to help with cleanup efforts in nearby Pickwick Lake, Tenn. only.

Each volunteer will receive a complimentary shirt and water bottle, according to Rose.

“TVA’s mission of service includes balancing the Tennessee River system

and the many needs of the people of the Valley,” said TVA Vice President of Natural Resources Rebecca Tolene.

“We rely on partnerships like this and volunteers from all over to help us in that mission. Cleanups are important for water quality, wildlife habitat and recreational enjoyment. We appreciate the support we’ve gotten from our partners to make this successful.”

School leaders keep watch on legislation BOONEVILLE — Booneville School District officials are keeping a close eye on the state legislature as numerous education related bills are drawing attention during the current session.

Superintendent Dr. Todd English recently told the district’s board they are working to prepare the district for whatever may happen in Jackson this year.

Several different versions of school choice legislation are under consideration this year, as are bills related to adjustments and changes to the Mississippi Adequate Education Program.

Our View

Forward First initiative provides exciting time for Corinth schools With its “District of Innovation” status in hand, the Corinth School District Board of Trustees have adopted a revamped school calendar for the coming school year and set the stage for other changes to begin.

With the recent approval by the Mississippi State Board of Education, Corinth joins Gulfport and Vicksburg as the state’s first districts of innovation, freeing them from certain constraints so they may bring new approaches to education. The state board granted a number of waivers, allowing the Corinth district to launch new programs.

Teacher performance incentives, differentiated diplomas, a modified accountability system, early college courses and career technical offerings are among the other changes the district is considering as part of its Forward First initiative.

This is an exciting time for the Corinth School District.

In addition to approving the calendar, the board authorized the superintendent to develop the new policies and procedures to bring to the board.

The new school calendar is gaining discussion because it will be so different from the standard one.

School will begin on Aug. 1 and end on June 15. Fall break will be three weeks in October and Spring break will be three weeks in March. The Summer break is a six-week period with two weeks in June and the month of July.

There are greater differences in student learning today than in the past and there have been major shifts in American society.

There is a concern that the standard school calendar has a relationship to students at risk of failure. Numerous research studies point out that there is a decline in academic achievement over the long summer and this decline results in lower test scores.

Teachers have to deal with what is known as “summer loss.” They spend significant time at the beginning of the school year reviewing and reteaching the previous year’s work.

The Corinth modified calendar is different from the approach of many other districts in that it is coupled with a comprehensive remediation, enrichment and transition schedule.

The breaks in October and March will allow the school to remediate students at risk of failing and provide more timely interventions and remediation rather than attempting to do so at the end of the school year. This should facilitate the academic and emotional growth of the student and help them not fall too far behind in their development.

And what a reward for students who are maintaining good grades - three weeks out of school.

These breaks won’t be just for at-risk students to get caught up or take a vacation with their families.

Optional enrichment and dual enrollment college opportunities will also be offered during this time for students who wish to enroll.

The enrichment activities will serve a dual purpose.

Students will be able to broaden their learning through planned programs and activities similar to camp experiences and it will assist some families who might struggle with the childcare issues.

High school students today across the country are taking advantage of early college experiences and this new calendar will allow the district an opportunity to provide this for its students.

Through a partnership with Northeast Mississippi Community College, Corinth students will be offered the opportunity over a two-year period to earn close to 30 college hours prior to graduating from high school.

This will enable students to move forward and earn a college degree or advanced degree on an accelerated track.

Corinth School District Superintendent Lee Childress recently told the Daily Corinthian this new approach in education provides an opportunity for schools to make a difference.

We agree.

FBI challenge may define regulation Is the right to privacy absolute? What can the government regulate? Is encrypted digital data to be afforded the same protections as materials traditionally protected by the First Amendment?

Apple in seeking to protect data access in their iOS platform – and now by extension Google in making the same argument to protect their Android data access – is offering an argument over privacy, data access, proprietary technology and First Amendment issues that is at once compelling and at the same time confusing and convoluted.

In response to the horrific San Bernardino, California, terrorist attack that left 14 dead and 22 wounded at a holiday office party on Dec. 2, 2015, a federal judge ordered Apple Inc. to help the FBI hack into a locked iPhone used by terrorists Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik prior to the atrocity. Farook and Malik were killed in a gun battle with police after the attack – which was believed in part to be inspired by the couple’s fealty to the Islamic State.

At face value, the FBI demand to Apple seems logical, moral, and even patriotic. The FBI argues that Apple has a duty to help them obtain encrypted date that will help determine the full extent of a terrorist act

that killed and maimed innocent Americans on American soil.

That inforSid Salter mation, the Columnist government argues, could well prevent future attacks and save the lives and health of innocent fellow Americans. Apple argues that what the government really wants is to force the company to create a means to disable a proprietary feature on their iPhone that disables all content after 10 failed password submissions.

If Apple complies with the request in San Bernardino, the company argues, then the newly created code could be sought by governments all over the world through law enforcement agencies to put customer data at risk.

Here’s another fact – Farook didn’t even own the phone. The phone was owned by The San Bernardino County Department of Health. The California county government office consented to having their phone searched, but the passcode What makes Apple’s request suspect is the revelation that until 2014, Apple possessed an electronic “key” in the software that the company could use to comply with law enforce-

ment requests for data. But that year, the company announced that as of the thennew iOS 8: “Apple will not perform iOS data extractions in response to government search warrants.”

In that claim, it would seem that Apple seeks to create a digital privacy through what some have called an “impregnable smartphone” that doesn’t exists for the homes, cars, storage units, safes, or filing cabinets of American citizens served with a duly-issued search warrant signed by a judge with appropriate jurisdiction.

But in an open letter, Apple has said: “Specifically, the FBI wants us to make a new version of the iPhone operating system, circumventing several important security features, and install it on an iPhone recovered during the investigation. In the wrong hands, this software — which does not exist today — would have the potential to unlock any iPhone in someone’s physical possession.

“The FBI may use different words to describe this tool, but make no mistake: Building a version of iOS that bypasses security in this way would undeniably create a backdoor. And while the government may argue that its use would be limited to this case, there is no way to guarantee such control.”

The U.S. Department of

Justice responded to that Apple claim in a court filing: “Apple may maintain custody of the software, destroy it after its purpose under the (court) order has been served, refuse to disseminate it outside of Apple, and make it clear to the world that it does not apply to other devices or users without lawful court orders. As such, compliance with the order presents no danger for any other phone, and is not ‘the equivalent of a master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks’.”

Regardless, the question is intriguing: Can the data on our smartphones really be afforded protection from lawful search and seizure that isn’t currently extended to the individual who owns the phone, the house that individual occupies or the automobile he drives?

Confused? Perhaps we all are. George Orwell once observed that “people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”

But Orwell also said: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

Paranoid politics Amid all the media analyses of the prospects of each of the candidates in both political parties, there is remarkably little discussion of the validity – or lack of validity – of the arguments these candidates are using.

It is as if what matters this election year is the fate of a relative handful of people – currently seven – running for their respective parties’ nominations. Meanwhile, the fate of the 320 million Americans who are going to be affected by the outcome of this year’s election fades into the background.

The fact that Hillary Clinton’s election prospects, for example, depend on her ability to get the black vote has been talked about in the media numerous times. But what about the fate of millions of black people, and how that will be affected by the way Hillary Clinton is trying to get their votes?

Her basic pitch to black voters is that they have all sorts of enemies, and that blacks need her to protect them, which she is ready to do if they vote for her. In short, Hillary’s political fate depends on spreading fear and, if possible, paranoia.

Similar attempts to get the votes of women are based on conjuring up enemies who are waging a “war on women,” with Hillary again cast in the role of some-

one ready to come to their rescue, if they will give her their votes.

In both cases, rhetoThomas ric and repSowell etition take the place of Columnist hard evidence. The closest thing to evidence being offered is that the average income of blacks is not the same as the average income of whites, and the average income of women is not the same as the average income of men.

But the average incomes of people in their twenties is usually lower than the average income of people in their forties – and by a greater amount than the income difference between women and men, or the income difference between blacks and whites. Does that mean that middleaged people are enemies of young adults?

In countries around the world, and for centuries of recorded history, people living up in the mountains have usually been poorer than people living on the land below. Does this mean that people in the lowlands have somehow been robbing mountain people? Or does it mean that the circumstances of people living

in mountains have usually been less promising than the circumstances of others?

If poverty among blacks is due to whites, why has the poverty rate among black married couples been in single digits every year since 1994, despite far higher poverty rates among other blacks? Do most white employers even know – or care – which blacks are married?

When the imprisonment rate of blacks with a college education is a fraction of the imprisonment rate of other blacks, does that mean that white cops check out the education of blacks before they decide to arrest them?

Or does it mean that blacks who have chosen one way of life have very different prospects than those who have chosen a very different way of life – as is true among whites, Asians, Hispanics and others?

Economic differences between women and men are not wholly due to personal choices, since only women have babies, and it is usually mothers who take time out from the job market to raise them.

When women work fewer hours per year than men, and do not work continuously for as many years as men, how surprised should we be that the sexes have

different incomes on average?

Anyone who is being serious – as distinguished from being political – would have to take many factors into account before saying that male-female income differences, or black-white differences, are due to people with identical qualifications and experience being paid differently.

Any number of studies, including studies by female scholars, have shot down the oft-repeated claim that women are paid less than men with identical work qualifications. But that will not stop that same bogus claim from being made repeatedly this election year.

What about blacks, women or others who believe the political hype? Will that help them improve their lives, or will it be anther counterproductive distraction for them and another polarization of society that helps nobody, except those who seeking votes? As for the media, they are covering the political contests, not the effects of the lies generated in these contests.

House passes bill toughening Medicaid rules Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi House Republicans passed a bill Friday that would require regular audits of Medicaid recipients and penalize those who fail to update their records.

The House voted 76-40 to pass House Bill 1116 without debating it because of a standoff between Democrats and Republicans. The vote was divided by party, with Republicans in support and Democrats in opposition, sending it to the Senate for more work.

The bill would require officials to maintain a computerized record of Medicaid recipients’ information and check it against information from federal databases. The state would pay an outside company to develop the system, which the Division of Medicaid and Department of Human Services would share.

Aid recipients would have to report personal information, including their income and other earnings, housing, Social Security information, immigration status and work status. They would also be required to verify their records every three months by answering “knowledge-based quizzes” on their financial and personal information.

The state would notify recipients if it needed more information or suspected fraud. But if recipients don’t send a written response within 10 days, the state would cut off aid until the issue is resolved.

Abortion returns to court altered by Scalia’s death Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court challenge to a Texas law that has dramatically reduced the number of abortion clinics in the state is the justices’ most significant case on the hot-button issue in nearly a quartercentury.

One of this election-year term’s biggest cases is being argued Wednesday before a court altered by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. He was perhaps the most vociferous abortion opponent among the nine justices.

The Texas law has been replicated across the South and elsewhere, part of a wave of state abortion restrictions in the past five years.

States mainly led by Republicans have tried to limit when in a pregnancy abortions may be performed, restricted abortion-inducing drugs that take the place of surgery and increased standards for clinics and the doctors who work in them.

The Supreme Court case involves that last category.

A Texas law enacted in 2013 requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby

hospitals. It also prohibits clinics from providing abortions unless they meet the standards of outpatient or ambulatory surgical centers.

The high court has partially blocked those measures. If allowed to take full effect, all but 10 clinics in Texas would have to close.

There would be no abortion providers in the state’s rural areas or west of San Antonio.

The only clinic in the Rio Grande Valley would be allowed to remain open on a limited basis. Before the law was passed, there were roughly 40 clinics in the state. About half have closed.

Defenders of the laws in Texas and elsewhere argue that states have discretion to take steps to make abortions safer. Alabama and other states backing Texas told the Supreme Court that states were within their rights to apply health regulations to clinics for the sake of patients.

The justices’ June 2015 order putting the appellate ruling on hold at least suggests that there is a majority to cut back on the regulations. The clinics and abor-

tion-rights groups are hoping for a ruling that might bolster challenges to other restrictions on abortion.

To prevail, they still need Justice Anthony Kennedy’s vote, along with the reasonably certain votes of four more liberal justices, just as they did before Scalia’s death.

Kennedy was part of the 5-4 majority to reaffirm abortion rights in 1992, then wrote the court’s decision in 2007 that upheld a federal law banning a certain procedure that opponents call partial-birth abortion. That was also a 5-4 split.

A broad high court ruling striking down the Texas provisions would show that the court’s 1992 decision still “has some teeth in it,” said Stephanie Toti, the lawyer who will argue the clinics’ case.

Without Scalia, the best that supporters of these laws can hope for is a 4-4 tie, which would uphold the appeals court’s endorsement of the Texas law and perhaps affect similar laws in Louisiana and Mississippi because they are part of the same judicial circuit as Texas.

PARKS CONTINUED FROM 1A

second term, since most of the chair positions are given to those fifth and sixth term senators. It’s a huge confidence booster that Lt. Gov. Reeves trusts me with such an important role.”

During her first term in the state senate, Parks served on numerous committees, including vice chair of Insurance, another highly sough after committee.

“It’s hard for me to imagine coming back and topping that, but it happened and I couldn’t be happier,” she said.

Reeves placed the Alcorn Central graduate on eight other committees, including Economic Development, Insurance, Highways and Transportation, Veterans Affairs, Health and Welfare and the Senate’s newest committee, Medicaid.

With session in full swing, Parks is focusing on a couple of bills she authored at the request of leaders from one of the state’s largest industries.

“These bills are very important because of the expected regulations coming down from the federal government which will basically put the consumer and payday loan companies out

of business,” said Parks, regarding the possible Mississippi Credit Availability Act and Mississippi Consumer Installment Loan Act. “The feds want to stop the $100 to $500 high-interest loan from being an option and stop car title loans all together.”

The Republican senator said her two bills would allow those types of loans to continue in Mississippi with restrictions placed on loan terms.

“The payday loan and title loan business in our state is a billion dollar industry,” she added. “We need to keep this market open because so many Mississippians need these loan options, and so many rely on payday loans and title loans when emergencies happen.”

Both bills have made it out of committee, but still require passage by both the senate and house before being presented to the governor.

“We have worked very hard to find a compromise that allows these businesses to continue to operate, while still providing a fair service to the people,” Parks added.

While in Jackson last week, Parks has received more than dozen phone calls and around 50 emails from Crossroads area residents asking her to vote against

one bill causing a stir statewide.

“We call it the sex-ed bill,” said Parks. “And as it stands, I won’t be voting for it.”

Senate Bill 2413 requires school boards to implement “personal responsibility” education into middle and high school curriculum by June 2017.

“The bill states demonstrations are to be used in middle school — demonstrations are not age appropriate,” she said.

The bill as it stands now states the Department of Education would publish a list of approved curriculum deemed medically accurate by the health department. The curriculum “must include information that abstinence from sexual activity is the only one 100 percent effective way to prevent unintended pregnancy.”

Parks also said two bills that will make changes to state education are still alive, and at least one will likely pass both chambers and draft into law this session.

With both bills, legislators are trying to revise the Mississippi Adequate Education Program.

MAEP is a complex formula designed to give schools enough money to meet mid-level academic standards. The formula has been fully funded only two

years since it was put into law in 1997, and legislators are tired of being criticized for falling short of the mark.

“Shane on us. We should have not come home the last four years without working the kinks out of our state’s education,” said Parks. “I want to see more money go into the classrooms and I want us to reward schools that perform well, not those under performing schools.”

Mississippi ranks schools A through F, like a report card, and the formula is based on perpupil spending for a district with a C ranking. Lt. Gov. Reeves has suggested the formula should be based on per-pupil spending at school districts ranked A or B. While this could reduce the amount needed to achieve full funding, lawmakers say they’re seeking the most efficient use of tax dollars.

“One of the two bills still alive seeks to setup a study committee of educators from across the state. The study committee would work throughout the second half of this year and report back to the capitol next session,” added Parks. “They would deliver us recommendations on what changes would work best — this might include a change in per-pupil spending.”

Dozens of pythons captured in Florida DAVIE, Fla. — The 106 Burmese pythons captured over a monthlong hunt won’t help control Florida’s invasive snake population, but wildlife officials said Saturday that doesn’t matter as much as the awareness they bring to the state’s environmental concerns.

Thousands of pythons, far from their natural habitat in Southeast Asia, are believed to be stalking Florida wildlife in the beleaguered Everglades. The tan, splotchy snakes can be elusive in the wetlands, but Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials say volunteer python removal programs and two statesanctioned hunts since 2009 are focusing more eyes to the problem.

“Whether they’re fishermen or they’re hunters or they’re hikers or they’re birdwatchers — they’re all looking for the python,” said wildlife commissioner Ron Bergeron. “The success of the ‘Python Challenge’ has broadened out to thousands of people now.”

Community mourns shooting at factory HESSTON, Kan. — Grieving residents of this small Kansas town parked riding lawnmowers with American flags fluttering beside them along streets on Saturday and adorned them “Hesston Hustler Strong” signs in a symbolic reference to the lawn equipment brand from the factory where a gunman killed three co-workers.

The Excel Industries factory nestled in the center of this peaceful community of 3,700 founded by Mennonite farmers has long been more than an economic hub. It is a source of pride that binds people

together. It draws nearly 1,000 workers from small towns around the region and everyone seems to either work there or know someone who does.

The Hustler brand evolved in the 1960s from the tinkering of a man from a nearby town, John Regier, who built a lawn mower that could turn and maneuver more easily to cut grass around obstacles such as trees and winding sidewalks. The company now sells Hustler and Big Dog equipment around the globe and in 2013 earned the Kansas Governor’s Exporter of the Year award.

The quiet of Hesston was shattered on Thursday when Cedric L. Ford barged into the plant while about 300 people were working the second shift and opened fire. Authorities say Ford, a convicted felon, was upset after being served hours earlier at the plant with a protection from abuse order to stay away from a former girlfriend.

Trump wants weak libel laws amid feud WASHINGTON — Feeling maligned by the media, Donald Trump is threatening to weaken First Amendment protections for reporters if he were president and make it easier for him to sue them.

“I love free press. I think it’s great,” he said Saturday on Fox News Channel, before quickly adding, “We ought to open up the libel laws, and I’m going to do that.”

The changes envisioned by the celebrity businessman turned Republican front-runner would mean that “when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money,” he said at a rally Friday in Fort Worth, Texas.

Trump added that, should he win the elec-

tion, news organizations that have criticized him will “have problems.”

He specifically cited The New York Times and The Washington Post.

Trump last month threatened to sue the Post after the newspaper wrote an article about the bankruptcy of his Atlantic City casino.

On Twitter, Trump has routinely criticized reporters who cover him and their news organizations, including The Associated Press.

“The press has to be fair,” he said in the broadcast interview.

House bill: Expand access to hunting WASHINGTON — The House on Friday approved a bill to expand access to hunting and fishing areas on public lands, extend protections for the use of lead bullets in hunting and strip wolves of federal protections in four states.

The bill also would let hunters import 41 polar bear carcasses shot in Canada before they were declared threatened in 2008 and allow limited imports of ivory from African elephants.

The bill was approved, 242-161, and now goes to the Senate. Twelve Democrats joined 230 Republicans in favor of the measure.

Supporters said the bill would protect and expand the rights of sportsmen to hunt, fish and enjoy other recreation on public lands.

“Washington bureaucrats don’t understand that federal lands can be used in multiple ways,” said House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. “By overregulating, these bureaucrats do a lot of damage to our fishermen, shooters and outdoor enthusiasts, stopping perfectly legal and safe outdoor activities.

Washington regulations should enable access (to public lands), not stop it.”

Autopsy finds Iraq War vet drowned BAY ST. LOUIS — Authorities have ruled that an Iraq War veteran accidentally drowned in Hancock County two months ago.

County Coroner Jim Faulk told The Sun Herald on Saturday that an autopsy confirmed 27-year-old Alex Toups accidentally drowned in a small body of water in the Lakeshore community.

Teenagers shooting guns in the area found Toups’ body in the water on Dec. 27. A friend who had been with Toups the previous night thought he had gone home.

Toups, a 2005 graduate of Hancock High School in 2005, enlisted in the U.S. Army after high school and had been stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C., with the 82nd Airborne Infantry.

Dam breach forces county to close road HERNANDO — DeSoto County authorities have closed a road near a dam breach, but one official said the problem doesn’t pose a significant threat to area residents.

The Commercial Appeal reports that closing a segment of Kelly Road north of the Delta Crest subdivision was a precautionary measure recommended by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.

Roughly 50 homes are in the area where the dam breached near the Tunica County line, but officials said the property doesn’t face any immediate risk.

District 4 Supervisor Lee Caldwell described the potential threat as “low impact” and said it will cost an estimated $22,000 to fix the breach.

The dam is on a lake in the subdivision, which was developed in the 1960s.

Cross burning report investigated in south MONTICELLO — Authorities are investigating an apparent cross burning in south Mississippi.

WJTV-TV reports that the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department notified the FBI about Thursday’s discovery of what appeared to be a small cross burning on the side of a road in the county’s unincorporated Sontag community.

The FBI said in a statement that it’s “monitoring the situation” for possible violations of federal law.

In a Facebook post, the sheriff’s department said a caller reported the cross’ discovery around 6 p.m. on Thursday.

2 suspects arrested in Magic card theft BILOXI — Two people have been arrested on charges they tried to sell thousands of dollars in stolen role-playing game cards at a shop in south Mississippi.

Biloxi police investigator Nick Sonnier told The Sun Herald that 31-yearold Jared Lee Reynolds and 22-year-old Brookelynn Parker Kelso were arrested Thursday after they attempted to sell the Magic game cards at a game shop in Biloxi.

Sonnier said the shop’s owner knew the cards had been stolen from a car in late January and contacted police.

Reynolds was arrested on an auto burglary charge. Kelso was arrested on a stolen property charge.

Credit union worker pleads guilty in theft NEW ORLEANS — A Mississippi woman has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $1 million from the Louisiana credit union where she worked as a manager.

U.S. Attorney Kenneth Polite’s office says 60-year-old Jacqueline Ray, of Biloxi, Miss., faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and

a $250,000 fine following her guilty plea Friday.

A court filing says Ray worked for the Ochsner Clinic Federal Credit Union for nearly 30 years and stole at least $1 million between 2007 and 2013 by creating approximately 149 fictitious loans.

Prosecutors say the proceeds from the bogus loans were converted to cash or deposited in accounts controlled by Ray.

House resumes work after partisan divide JACKSON — Partisan tensions stalled business Thursday and Friday in the Mississippi House, but leaders say they’ve agreed to resume work Monday.

Republican and Democratic leaders hammered out a three-part agreement after more than a dozen meetings.

First, House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, stood aside as Democrats lobbied Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves to kill a redistricting bill that sparked the breakdown.

Second, Gunn agreed to at least partially reverse a Thursday rules change that abolished members’ right to address the House on personal topics.

Third, Gunn agreed to provide the House Democratic Caucus with employee support, and to meet with House Democrats to head off some conflicts.

“We had a glitch in the road. We solved it. That occurs about once a year,” Gunn said.

African-American members forced bills to be read aloud to filibuster Thursday and Friday, after Republicans passed House Bill 868. It would shift Simpson County from the Southern to the Central District for Supreme Court, Transportation Commission and Public Service Commission seats. Democrats said the bill reduced the share of black voters in the Central District, making it harder for AfricanAmericans or Democrats to get elected.

Economy ends year on high note

BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy got a double dose of good news Friday. Economic growth in the final three months of 2015 didn’t slow as much as previously estimated, and consumers roared back to life in January, spending at the fastest clip in eight months.

The Commerce Department said that consumer spending increased 0.5 percent last month, the best showing since May and far higher than the tiny 0.1 percent gain in December. Economists are expecting stronger consumer spending, which accounts for twothirds of economic activity, to lift overall economic growth in the new year after a fourth-quarter slowdown.

In a separate report, the government said the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic health, grew at an annual rate of 1 percent in the fourth quarter. That’s an improvement from the first estimate of 0.7 percent, though just half the 2 percent growth posted in the third quarter.

The revision was made because the downturn in business stockpiling was less severe than the government’s first estimate.

That helped offset slightly weaker consumer spending.

The Federal Reserve is closely watching economic data to determine how fast it needs to raise interest rates this year. The spending report showed that inflation, by a price measure preferred by the Fed, rose by 1.3 percent in the 12 months ending in January. That is nearly double the 0.7 percent 12-month gain seen in December but still below the Fed’s inflation target of 2 percent annual price increases.

Still, the inflation jump was sharp enough that it is sure to attract attention among Fed officials who are watching price increases for signals on how fast to raise interest rates. The Fed boosted a key rate by a quarter point in December, moving it from a record low near zero, where it had been for seven years.

After a stretch of economic turbulence at the beginning of the year, economists had trimmed

their forecasts for 2016 rate hikes from four down to two. But if inflation accelerates more, that could encourage the Fed to move rates higher more quickly.

The latest GDP figure does little to change the fact that growth in the final months of 2015 was modest. Since then, global weakness and financial market turbulence have triggered worries about the potential fallout on the U.S. economy.

Still, economists are confident that GDP is poised to accelerate this quarter. Steady job gains and faster wage growth are boosting consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the economy.

“First-quarter GDP growth is on track to rebound to a very healthy 2.5 percent (rate) which should dampen any concerns about an imminent recession,” said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

The fourth-quarter figure marks the slowest growth in six months, since the economy skidded to a weak 0.6 percent showing in the first quarter last year. That was fol-

lowed by a solid rebound to 3.9 percent in the second quarter and then the 2 percent gain in the summer.

Friday’s upward revision stems from a tweak in the government’s data for business stockpiles.

That translated into a 0.1 percentage point drag on growth, rather than a 0.5 percentage point drag initially reported.

This change could weigh on first quarter activity if businesses are reluctant to add to their stockpiles.

In addition, the trade deficit subtracted 0.3 percentage point from growth, rather than the 0.5 percentage point drag in the first report. Exports still suffered, reflecting the struggle American manufacturers are having from a stronger dollar.

But the country imported less than first thought.

Consumer spending grew at a 2 percent rate in the fourth quarter, down from an initial estimate of 2.2 percent.

Also weighing on growth in the fourth quarter was a downward revision to government spending, which fell at a 0.1 percent rate instead of a 0.7 percent rise first reported.

Obama bans importing slave-made goods

BY MARTHA MENDOZA Associated Press

Federal officials are preparing to enforce an 86-year-old ban on importing goods made by children or slaves under new provisions of a law signed by President Barack Obama.

“This law slams shut an unconscionable and archaic loophole that forced America to accept products made by children or slave labor,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who worked on

the legislation.

The Tariff Act of 1930, which gave Customs and Border Protection the authority to seize shipments where forced labor was suspected and block further imports, was last used in 2000, and has been used only 39 times all together largely because of two words: “consumptive demand” — if there was not sufficient supply to meet domestic demand, imports were allowed regardless of how they were produced.

The Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act signed by Obama on Wednesday eliminated that language, allowing stiffer enforcement. U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske and agency leaders are planning a briefing Friday to explain how they’ll be implementing the new law.

“If the U.S. government works to really keep out goods made with forced labor, this change will have a profound ripple effect on supply chains worldwide,” said David Abramowitz, who advocated for the change as vice president for Humanity United.

To start an investigation, Customs needs to receive a petition from anyone — a business, an agency, even a non-citizen — showing “reasonably but not conclusively” that imports were made at least in part with forced labor.

A Labor Department list of more than 350 goods produced by child labor or forced labor provides a detailed breakdown that human rights groups plan to use as they petition the government to take action. These include peanuts from Turkey, gold from Ghana, carpets from India and

fish and shrimp from Thailand.

But advocate Neha Misra at the Solidarity Center, another nonprofit that worked for the legal change, said petitions are hard to file and proving a case is complicated.

Nonetheless, she was encouraged. “Before U.S. law said that we would tolerate forced labor if we really wanted a product for domestic consumption. Now, we are saying that we will not tolerate forced labor for any reason. This is a major step forward,” Misra said.

An expose by The Associated Press last year found Thai companies ship seafood to the U.S. that was caught and processed by trapped and enslaved workers. As a result of the reports, more than 2,000 trapped fishermen have been rescued, more than a dozen alleged traffickers arrested and millions of dollars’ worth of seafood and vessels seized.

Last April, the AP also identified and highlighted the legal loophole that allowed continued imports of slave-caught seafood.

A month later, Obama promised to repeal the consumptive demand exception and ensured “swift, strong and effective enforcement.”

Service with smile is hard to deliver with bad teeth DEAR ABBY: I have a problem of my own making. When I was a young child/teenager, I never brushed my teeth. Because of it, the enamel on my teeth eroded and I have cavities, really bad ones. Add to that a desperate fear of dentists, and my teeth are in horrible shape now. When I smile, my front teeth are mostly black. I work in customer service. I’m too young to have awful Abigail teeth, and I’m Van Buren ashamed.

I saw a dentist reDear Abby cently and I have made appointments to have my dental issues addressed, but it’s expensive and it won’t be for a few months. I have never been so aware of how bad my teeth are as I am now, and I consciously keep myself from smiling. It makes working in customer service really hard because I’m constantly thinking, “Don’t let them see your teeth.” But even when I’m just talking, I know people can see them.

It’s impossible to say, “I know my teeth are disgusting, but I’m getting them fixed, so please don’t judge me” to every person

I meet, but I very much feel like doing so. I’m a socially anxious person anyway and this is killing my already poor social skills.

I need advice. — HIDING MY SMILE IN NEW JERSEY DEAR HIDING: I have addressed the importance of good oral hygiene in this column before, so I won’t belabor it. For the sake of your overall physical health, I’m very glad you have finally decided to deal with your dental problem. It will pay big dividends in the future.

For the time being, having set up appointments to get your dental work — and possibly periodontal work — done, you are doing all you can. If you weren’t good at your job, you wouldn’t have lasted at it for as long as you have. When customers come to you for help, they are less interested in your teeth than in what you can do to solve their problems, so you shouldn’t let yourself be sidetracked by what they “might” think about them.

Do your job, keep those dental appointments religiously, and your problems will solve themselves.

DEAR ABBY: Over the past month or so, I find myself being super territorial about my home and the things that are in it. This is my first apartment on my own after having had a roommate for three years.

Recently, my significant other

got sick, and he was constantly here because I had to take care of him. Also, my family was here over the holidays. I didn’t want anyone in my room or using my bathroom — not even my sick boyfriend.

Part of the reason was he was sick and, secondly, he was keeping me up at night using my master bath every five minutes.

Working long hours, then having to come home and take care of a man who was hardheaded about his health was exhausting. I needed my space and to rest.

Could this be why I don’t want anyone in my home? I feel bad about being this way, especially toward my own family and boyfriend. — SUPER TERRITORIAL DEAR TERRITORIAL: By now you should have been able to get some rest, so I hesitate to blame fatigue for your feelings. I suspect they may have more to do with the fact that this is the first home in which you are living independently, and you want to keep it pristine. People often feel the same way when they buy a new car.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Sometimes you get the sense that you’re outside of the prevailing feeling of the moment. When that happens, stop talking. It will be easier to connect with “the now” through silent awareness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The reason you are so successful in all you do today is that you think about what’s in it for other people and do your best to service that. Those who are concerned only with their own profit won’t profit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’ve many talents. One comes to the fore. You need more opportunities to perform it. You can practice all you want, but there are some things that can only be learned by performing in front of an audience.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

With augmented powers of selfcontrol, you’ll probably be able to manage your energy better than you manage time and get far more accomplished than you would on a typical day because of this.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may know about certain attraction techniques, and you may be wise to various methods of persuasion, but that won’t make you immune to the power of seduction today. You may fall rather willingly into a spell.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The harder the barrier to entry is, the more people want to get inside. What’s inside may not be all that great. In fact, it may be far less useful or enjoyable than a much more accessible situation. Shop around!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To adjust one’s values to fit one’s behavior, even if that behavior was clearly below the moral ideal, is only human nature.

That doesn’t make it right. You’ll be grading yourself again today.

Be loving but firm in this regard.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

If you were a melody, you’d be a very attractive one today, filled with repetitive pop hooks designed to help people get caught up in your pattern. No wonder the people around you

are dancing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Is life really stranger than your imagination? You’ll put this theory to the test by dreaming up some pretty far-fetched scenarios and then sitting back to see what happens.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Knowing how to act when you want something is not the same thing as being nice or being good. Also, not knowing how to act when you want something is not the same as being meanspirited.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You can breathe a sigh of relief.

Whatever you’re afraid of today, it’s not going to happen. Take courage! You can be fairly sure that something will happen, but it won’t be that.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You know how people are. Give them the exact same information and each can find radically different ways of interpreting it.

It’s essential that you find your own interpretation today, because no one else’s will fit.

State tournament bound Warriors, Lions join girls’ squads in Jackson

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Keeping up home-court dominance and knocking off the defending state champions on their home floor.

That’s what the Corinth Warriors and Biggersville Lions did, respectively, to punch their tickets to Jackson.

In Class 4A second-round action, Corinth overcame 25 missed free throws to knock off Raymond 75-71 in overtime.

Tada Stricken tallied a career-high 29 points, including a pair of buzzer-beating 3-pointers, as the Warriors

(26-2) earned their 18th trip — and fifth in six years — to the annual season-ending event.

Antares Gwyn added 20 points and 17 rebounds — his 20th double-double in 27 games — and hit a pair of key free throws with 12.3 seconds remaining to force overtime.

Corinth will face Pass Christian (26-6) in quarterfinal action Thursday at Mississippi Coliseum. The game is set for a 4 p.m. start, but with the Lady Warriors playing at the same time at Jackson State University, tournament officials will move the time of one

of the games.

• Biggersville fell behind after one quarter, but righted the ship to knot the game at intermission and pull off a 66-61 win at defending Class 1A champion Shaw.

The Lions (16-12) earned their third state bid in five years under head coach Cliff Little.

Biggersville will face West Lowndes (24-8) in quarterfinal action Thursday at Mississippi Coliseum. The Lady Lions tip at 9 a.m. at JSU — against the same school — with the Lions set to go at high noon across town.

Jaylon Powell led the Lions with a game-high 24 points, going 10-of-12 from the stripe.

Devonte Spears and Greg Robinson also reached double figures, with 16 and 15, respectively.

The Lions hit half of their 14 free-throws in the final period, making 22-of-36 overall.

• Corinth was just 9-of-32 from the stripe, and Gwyn 4-of-11 before the senior was fouled with Corinth trailing 63-61 with 12.3 left in the fourth quarter.

Westview ends McNairy’s season

BY JEFF YORK For Daily Corinthian

Martin Westview put on a shooting exhibition on their way to a 79-62 rout of McNairy Central in the first round of the Region 7-AA tournament in Martin.

The loss ended the season for the Bobcats.

The Bobcats made vast improvements this season by winning eight more games than last season.

If the team can add eight more wins next season, the

Bobcats will be a definite championship contender.

MCHS finished 11-18 this season after winning only three games last year.

Travon McClendon is the only senior on this year’s team.

The experience gained this year will help the Bobcats compete for the district title next season.

Westview, ranked second in the state, will meet No. 1-ranked South Side in the semifinals of the region

tournament on March 1.

The Chargers broke on top 17-9 in the first quarter and never looked back in the game. McNairy’s lone lead of the game was 2-0.

MCHS played evenly in the second quarter and trailed 31-19 at halftime.

McNairy closed to within nine in the third quarter, but they never got any closer the rest of the game.

Hunter McCullar registered his career high with 17 points to top MCHS in

Mississippi State surprises South Carolina Associated Press

STARKVILLE — Gavin Ware had 16 points and 12 rebounds to lead Mississippi State to a 68-58 upset of South Carolina on Saturday.

It was Ware’s eighth double-double of the season and the Bulldogs (13-15, 6-10 SEC) have won four of their last six conference games.

Quinndary Weatherspoon and Craig Sword had 14 points apiece for Mississippi State, while Fred Thomas added 12.

South Carolina (23-6, 10-6) was led by Sindarius Thornwell with 12 points. Duane Notice had 10 points and was the only other Gamecock in double digits. The

Gamecocks shot just 36.7 percent for the game and had 21 turnovers. Leading scorer Michael Carrera, who entered at 14.8 points, was held to six on 1-of-8 shooting.

“That was a great effort for us and I thought it was our best effort of the year on all ends for 40 minutes,” said Mississippi State head coach

Ben Howland. “And it was against a very good team, a very good team. I am really proud of our guys. Defensively, this was our best sustained effort for 40 minutes.”

Frazier, Gaines power UGA past Ole Miss Associated Press

ATHENS, Ga. — It may be too late to revive Georgia’s NCAA hopes, but Kenny Gaines isn’t ready to give up on the season.

J.J. Frazier scored 26 points and Gaines had 23 while leading the defensive effort on Stefan Moody and Georgia beat Mississippi 80-66 on Saturday.

Frazier and Gaines combined to make 10 of 18 3-pointers.

“I just feel like I played des-

perate,” Gaines said. “That was kind of the team motto.”

Yante Maten had 19 points and 10 rebounds for Georgia (15-12, 8-8 Southeastern Conference), which ended a threegame losing streak. Perhaps most disturbing was the most recent loss at Auburn, tied for 12th in the league.

“Our spirit was down because I think they felt our (NCAA) bubble burst, and maybe it has,” said Georgia

coach Mark Fox. Moody, guarded by Gaines must of the game, was held to 15 points, including 10 in the second half. He fouled out with 1:45 remaining. Moody, who leads the SEC with his average of 23 points per game, has 19 games with at least 20 points.

Fox questioned his team’s effort at the start of Wednesday’s loss at Auburn and was happy with the response against the Rebels.

“We talked a lot today about playing with determination and I was pleased with our team’s effort,” Fox said.

Anthony Perez led Ole Miss (18-11, 8-8) with 19 points and nine rebounds. The Rebels suffered a damaging loss to their NCAA tournament hopes.

“The seniors’ season is right there on the line, and their effort was greater than ours,” Please see POWER | 11A

POWER CONTINUED FROM 10A

said Perez of the Bulldogs.

“That’s why they won the game.”

Georgia took a 38-34 advantage in rebounds.

“They really had a lot of second chances and third chances,” Perez said.

Three early 3-pointers from Gaines helped Georgia lead 25-13. The Rebels charged back with a 16-2 run that included 13 unanswered points for a 29-27 lead. The Bulldogs missed seven straight shots before recovering with 3s from Gaines and Frazier for a 33-32 halftime lead.

Moody, defended closely by Gaines and unable to break out in the first half, launched back-toback 3-pointers to get untracked early in the second half. Another 3-pointer from Martavious Newby gave the Rebels their big lead at 49-41.

Georgia answered with an 11-0 run for a 52-51 lead. Moody was called for a push-off offensive foul during the run.

A 3-pointer by Rasheed Brooks cut the Georgia lead to 60-58 before Frazier’s 3-pointer capped seven straight points for a 67-58 advantage.

Tip-Ins Mississippi: The Rebels committed 14 turnovers, including four by Moody, that led to 22 points for Georgia. ... Moody made only two of six shots for five points in the first half and was 5 of 13 for the game. ... Newby limped off the court after being called for an offensive foul with about eight minutes remaining. ... Moody had 29 points in the Rebels’ 72-71 home win over Georgia on Jan. 9.

Georgia: Former Georgia coach Hugh Durham returned for a basketball reunion. Among former players who returned were Willie Anderson, James Banks, Charles Claxton, Rod Cole and D.A. Layne. ... A moment of silence was observed for the late Norm Reilly, who was the former longtime basketball sports information director for the Bulldogs and was the Alabama-Birmingham associate athletic director for media relations when he died earlier this month after a long battle with cancer. Reilly was 56.

Streaking Senior forward Tomasz Gielo, from Poland, had 13 points for Ole Miss for his eighth straight game scoring in double figures.

Before the run, he had gone seven straight games below 10 points. Gielo made two 3-pointers.

Help For Gaines Gaines had 12 points in the first half and had more help from Frazier and Maten in the final 20 minutes.

“Kenny was doing a lot of scoring by himself early on and I told him that Yante and I were going to help him,” Frazier said. “He was carrying a load, defensively guarding Moody and coming back and leading us offensively.

I just wanted to take some pressure off him.”

with a career-best five.

The Bulldogs shot 45.5 percent from the field and made 8 of 22 from 3-point territory.

“I.J. was very dominant on the defensive end pressuring the ball,” added Howland.

“He had a run of about three steals in transition where he came in there and ripped it out of guys’ hands that were huge plays leading to baskets. We got transition baskets that came from great defense.”

South Carolina outrebounded the Bulldogs 39-34, including 16-10 on offensive boards. But the Bulldogs outscored South Carolina 15-2 in fast-break points and off the bench, 21-12.

“Ben (Howland) had done a great job with them,” said South Carolina head coach Frank Martin. “They fight and scrap and they’ve been in every game they’ve played this year. They beat us from the punch.

We couldn’t run our offense today and couldn’t execute anything.

“Give (Mississippi State) credit and they beat us to the punch.

They got on the ball and in the passing lanes and pressured the ball. We tried to call different things but Mississippi State fought and protected their home court.”

Mississippi State held a double-digit lead for much of the contest before South Carolina cut the deficit to eight points in the final seconds. The Bulldogs’ biggest lead of the game was at 4831 with 12:32 left in the game.

Mississippi State jumped out to an early 8-4 lead after threepointers from Sword and Travis Daniels. That lead expanded to double

No. 2 Kansas secures Big 12 spot Associated Press

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Svi Mykhailiuk came off the bench to score 17 points, Frank Mason III added 16 and No. 2 Kansas beat Texas Tech 67-58 on Saturday to secure at least a share of its 12th straight Big 12 title.

Mykhailiuk hit five 3-pointers and didn’t miss a shot until the final minute, helping the Jayhawks (25-4, 13-3) extend one of the most remarkable streaks in major college basketball.

The only school to win more consecutive conference championships was UCLA, which won 13 in a row during the 1960s and ‘70s. The Jayhawks can win their eighth outright title during their streak with a win Monday night at No. 25 Texas or in their regular-season finale against No. 17 Iowa State.

Toddrick Gotcher hit five 3s and led the Red Raiders (18-10, 8-8) with 20 points.

No. 1 Villanova 89, Marquette 79 MILWAUKEE — Kris Jenkins scored 19 points and Josh Hart had 19 on 7-of-8 shooting as Villanova pulled away.

The Wildcats (25-4, 14-2 Big East) rebounded nicely after a midweek loss at No. 5 Xavier to stay atop the conference, one game ahead of the Musketeers.

Daniel Ochefu had 18 points and gave Villanova an inside presence to complement Jenkins’ outside shooting. Jenkins was 4 of 9 from 3-point range.

Playing in front of a raucous home crowd, Marquette (18-11, 7-9) got within 42-39 with 19:46 left on two free throws by Duane Wilson. But the young Golden Eagles wilted against the Wildcats’ pressure.

Jajuan Johnson had 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting for Marquette.

No. 25 Texas 76, No. 3 Oklahoma 63

No. 20 Purdue 83, No. 10 Maryland 79

AUSTIN, Texas — Isaiah Taylor scored 18 points and Texas overwhelmed Oklahoma over the final 7 minutes.

Texas trailed 58-51 before Taylor converted a three-point play to start a 25-5 run down the stretch.

Buddy Hield scored 33 points for Oklahoma.

Connor Lammert and Javan Felix scored 14 points each for Texas (1910, 10-6 Big 12).

Hield reached 30 points for the ninth time this season but faded badly like the rest of his teammates down the stretch.

Oklahoma (22-6, 10-6) went nearly 7 minutes without scoring as the Texas run cranked up. Hield didn’t break the Oklahoma scoring drought until making a 3-pointer in the final minute.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A.J. Hammons scored 19 points to lead five Purdue players in double figures, and the Boilermakers held on for the win.

Sophomore guard Dakota Mathias added a career-best 17 points for Purdue (22-7, 10-6 Big Ten), Rapheal Davis and Vince Edwards each scored 11 and Caleb Swanigan had 10 in Purdue’s second victory over a Top 10 opponent in 18 days.

The Boilermakers defeated No. 6 Michigan State on Feb. 9. It is also Purdue’s school record-tying 16th home victory this season.

Hammons made a free throw with 1:49 to go to break a 76-76 tie, and a layup by Johnny Hill made it 79-76 with 1:16 to go. Davis and Edwards each made two free throws in the final 23.1 seconds to help the Boilermakers withstand a late charge from Maryland (23-6, 11-5).

“He hit two really big ones,” said Greene. “It’s not easy to knock down those in a pressure situation when you haven’t been shooting well all night.”

Corinth ran its postseason mark in its current gym — which opened in the 1992-93 season — to 29-5. The Warriors were 21-2 entering the contest in must-win games — the last loss in 2001 — during

that same time frame.

The Warriors were 6-of8 from the stripe in overtime. CHS scored the first nine points of the fourminute session and held Raymond (20-7) scoreless the first 2:45.

A 5-of-12 showing from the line in the fourth coupled with three late turnovers helped the Rangers overcome an 11-point deficit from near the end of the third.

John Wilson’s 17th and 18th points of the fourth —

Raymond tallied 20 in the frame — gave the Rangers a 63-61 lead with 23.9 left in regulation. It was Raymond’s first lead since the second quarter.

Wilson finished with 23, all but two coming after the end of the third quarter.

“We didn’t defend as well in certain situations as we had earlier,” said CHS Head Coach Keith Greene. “A couple of their better players got loose.”

Stricken scored five of

his game-high total in the overtime period, connecting on 3-of-4 from the line in that span. Quentin Patterson scored all four of his points in OT, making both free-throw attempts.

Corinth was just 17of-42 on the night from the line. The Warriors were better from further out, making 8-of-16 from 3-point range.

Stricken had half of that total, including buzzer beaters at the end of the second and third quarters.

Dillon looks to make impression as Stewart’s sub

BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press

HAMPTON, Ga. — As an heir in one of stock car racing’s royal families, Ty Dillon longs to have a Sprint Cup ride of his own.

For now, he’ll have to settle for being a NASCAR sub.

Dillon is filling in for injured Tony Stewart in Sunday’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, a chance to bolster his fledgling career behind the wheel of one of the sport’s most recognized machines.

“It gives me a chance to showcase what I can do in these cars,” he said. “Any time I can get more laps and more experience, it’s always going to help.”

Dillon celebrated his 24th birthday on Saturday by finishing fifth in the Xfinity race at Atlanta, a precursor to his ninth Cup event — and first in Stewart’s No. 14 Chevrolet.

Smoke is recovering from back surgery after wrecking an all-terrain vehicle last month, keeping him on the sideline at the start of his farewell season.

Brian Vickers filled in at the sea-

son-opening Daytona 500, and now it’s Dillon stepping into the seat.

The youngster had hoped to at least have a part-time Cup deal this season, after finishing third in the Xfinity series a year ago.

Being the grandson of longtime car owner Richard Childress and younger brother of Cup regular Austin Dillon would certainly seem to give one the inside track to a sponsorship deal.

But, showing just how tight dollars are these days, Ty Dillon was forced to settle for five races in the low-budget Circle SportLeavine Family Racing No. 95 car, with Michael McDowell handling the bulk of the races.

“It was a little bit of a sting,” Dillon conceded.

He drove the No. 95 in the Daytona 500, where he started 12th and finished 25th. Now, he’s taking over Stewart’s machine.

“It does take away a little bit of the sting from not running more of a schedule than I was hoping for this year in the Sprint Cup series,” he said. “Now that I have

the opportunity, I can go out there and do what I want to do.”

Stewart made a surprise appearance in Atlanta, talking with Dillon after he took the 18th spot in qualifying.

For Dillon, this is a chance to spread his wings after spending his entire career racing for his grandfather or, in the case of the No. 95 car, a team allied with Richard Childress Racing.

“Everything is different for me,” Dillon said. “It’s helped me grow not just as a driver but as a person, and learning how to go about things different. I’m excited for what this brings.”

Here’s some other things to watch for in Sunday’s race: JIMMIE’S JAM: Keep an eye on six-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, who always seems to run up front in Atlanta.

He won this race a year ago, his fourth career victory at the 1.54mile trioval, to go along with 11 other top-10 finishes.

“Expectations are high,” said Johnson, who finished fifth at the Daytona 500. “This track, with the high tire wear and the

Busch turns Xfinity into 77th career win

BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press

HAMPTON, Ga. — Check another one off the list for Kyle Busch.

Less than 24 hours after losing the Sprint Cup pole, Busch claimed his first Xfinity Series victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Saturday.

Busch and Kyle Larson pulled away from the field after the final yellow flag. Larson closed the gap to about a half-second in the closing laps, but the rally ended when he got caught up briefly behind the lapped car of Ryan Preece.

Busch crossed the line 0.466 seconds ahead of Larson, then did his customary burnout and bow in front of the main grandstand, holding the checkered flag. No one else was within 10 seconds of the first two cars.

The winner has plenty of experience celebrating in the second-tier series, claiming his career-best 77th victory, though Atlanta was one of three active tracks where he’d never won an Xfinity race.

Not anymore.

“This is a pretty neat deal,” Busch said. “I’m glad get it out of the way. I checked another off the list.”

The victory was especially sweet coming less than 24 hours after Busch surrendered the pole for Sunday’s Cup race when his car failed inspection.

He won the pole for the Xfinity race in the morning and then dominated on a sunny afternoon, leading 119 of 163 laps.

Of course, that didn’t lessen the disappointment of having to start from the back of the field Sunday.

“This is Xfinity, that’s Cup,” Busch said. “But it is what it is. It’s not that big a deal.”

Busch was thrilled to add another track to his victory list, especially since he had had five runner-up finishes in Atlanta. Watkins Glen and

Las Vegas — site of next week’s event — are the only other active Xfinity tracks where he hasn’t won.

He’s looking forward to checking another off the list at his hometown track.

“I’ve not won at Vegas,” Busch said. “That seems kind of odd.”

SLOW DOWN: Starting from the outside of the front row, Erik Jones nudged ahead of Busch when the green flag waved — a rules violation that earned Jones a drive-through penalty.

Busch said it was his fault. He got bumped from behind by Daniel Suarez and spun his wires. Jones tried to check up but slipped ahead of Busch as they crossed the line.

Jones had to pay the price, though he did bounce back for a third-place finish. The pole-sitter can’t be passed before the line at the beginning of the race, though that’s not the case when restarting after a yellow flag.

“I forgot about that rule, honestly,” Jones said. “But it was a nice test for the team and a nice comeback.”

KESELOWSKI RETURNS: Brad Keselowski competed in his first Xfinity race at Atlanta since 2012. He led 28 laps on Saturday before fading to a sixth-place finish.

NO ELLIOTT: The winner of the Xfinity opener at Daytona sat out the second race of the season. Even though Atlanta is his home track, Chase Elliott turned over the No. 88 to Cup star Kevin Harvick, who finished 12th — a lap down — after making a couple of unscheduled pit stops when the car overheated.

BIG BOYS RULE: Sprint Cup drivers have won the last seven races in the Xfinity series. Regan Smith was the last Xfinity regular to take a victory in the second-tier series, winning at Dover on Oct. 3, 2015. Xfinity regulars won 10 of 33 races last season.

LOS ANGELES — If Vince Carter has his way — as he did Friday night against the Lakers — there won’t be any Kobe Bryant-like farewell tours in his immediate future.

Carter scored a seasonhigh 19 points and five of his teammates also reached double figures to help the Memphis Grizzlies cruise to a 112-95 victory over Los Angeles.

“It’s hard to even imagine not playing anymore, because I still love playing,”

said Carter, who turned 39 last month. “I still have that burning desire. And whenever the body says it’s time, then it’s time to move on. I don’t ever want to disrespect the game and go out there just to play and take the money, because it’s not that.

“Once you hit that first 12 to 15 years, everything after is for the love of the game.

And that’s where I am right now. I’m putting the work in to still compete at a high level.”

Carter made his first five shots — all 3-pointers during a 7:48 span — and finished

7 for 10 from the field in 20 minutes to help the Grizzlies win for the 13th time in 17 games.

The 18-year veteran and eight-time All-Star brought back memories of his “Vinsanity” days with the Toronto Raptors, hitting consecutive 3s just 28 seconds apart to give Memphis a 54-38 lead with 6:03 left in the first half.

Hairston scored 21 points, Mike Conley had 17 points and seven assists, and Zach Randolph added 15 points and 10 rebounds for Memphis, which will play at Phoenix on Saturday night.

Baldwin IV had 14.

Kentucky (21-8, 11-5) lost for the second time in three games despite freshman Jamal Murray scoring 33 points. Tyler Ulis added 12 points, and coach John Calipari sent most of his bench to the locker room with 34 seconds left to avoid the court storming by Vanderbilt fans.

The Seminoles led throughout and at one point were up by 23 points in the second half.

Demetrius Jackson had 13 points for Notre Dame (199, 10-6), which has dropped two of three.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Jalen Jones had 20 points and six rebounds to lead Texas A&M. Admon Gilder and Danuel House added 14 points each for the Aggies (22-7, 11-5 Southeastern Conference), who are on a four-game winning streak. House had 12 points in the first half, shooting 4 for 8 from 3-point range.

Tramaine Isabell had 17 points, five assists and three rebounds in his first start of the season, matching his sea-

Busch said. “But it is what it is.

It’s not that big a deal.”

HAMLIN’S ENCORE: Denny Hamlin will start from the 12th spot after winning the Daytona 500, leading a dominant Toyota performance.

The manufacturer swept the top three and four of the first five spots in the season opener.

In Atlanta, Chevrolet and Ford locked up the top three rows in qualifying after Kyle Busch’s failed inspection. Carl Edwards will start seventh, the highest spot for a Toyota.

NEW RULES: This is the first race with a new aerodynamic package that is designed to create more passing and competitive racing, a response to rising complaints from a bored fan base.

Just don’t expect there be any big shake-up at the front.

“The same groups of guys and the same teams who have run well the past couple of years will continue to run well,” Elliott said. “I do hope it opens doors for better racing and being around cars a little easier.”

bumpy conditions and the fact that you have to search around for (racing) lines, really suits my style.”

ELLIOTT HOMECOMING: Rookie Chase Elliott will be looking for redemption at the track where he grew up.

After claiming the pole at Daytona in his first event since taking over the No. 24 car from Jeff Gordon, the son of Bill Elliott wrecked early in the race and settled for a 37th-place showing.

“Not wrecking on lap 20 would be a good start,” the 20-yearold said, joking. “But we’re already here at Atlanta, so getting drowned in last week isn’t going to do any good.”

BUSCH AT THE BACK: Kyle Busch will have to start from the back of the field, even though he put up the fastest speed in qualifying. His car failed inspection afterward, handing the pole to his brother Kurt.

Kyle won the Xfinity race with a dominating performance, but that didn’t lessen his disappointment.

“This is Xfinity, that’s Cup,”

To be on the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s List, the student must be full-time and have a 4.0 grade point average. Song Nicholas, a freshman Bible major, achieved this distinction.

Recognition on the Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s List requires full-time status and a minimum GPA of 3.40 for the semester. Two Alcorn County students were on the list. They were: Lydia Hickman, a senior chemistry

major, and Avery Shappley, a freshman chemistry major.

Freed-Hardeman University, with locations in Henderson, Memphis and Dickson, provides an exceptional education from a distinctly Christian perspective. It oďŹ&#x20AC;ers five baccalaureate degrees in 44 undergraduate majors and 66 programs of study. FHU also oďŹ&#x20AC;ers masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, specialistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and doctoral degrees.

African-American aldermen after the Civil War (Editor’s Note: Alcorn County historian Stephanie Sandy shared many African-American biographical sketches with the Daily Corinthian before her death. She wanted to pay tribute to the contributions of African-Americans in the history of Corinth and honor them during Black History Month. Today we honor the late historian’s request and this concludes the presentation of her research. The entire community is indebted to Stephanie Sandy for her research efforts.)

Corinth City Clerk M. Thomas Sharp (18761933), compiled in 1915 an incomplete list of early mayors, aldermen and clerks serving Corinth from 1876 to 1880.

The list was interesting because three African-Americans served as aldermen from 1876 to 1880, most of who were appointed/elected after Congressional Reconstruction (1867-1877) was over. Mississippi had been allowed back into the Union in 1870. Technically, Reconstruction started in 1867 and ended in 1877 when the federal troops departed the South. Not a great deal has been written about the Reconstruction era in Corinth.

The city clerk probably copied some of the information from handwritten board minutes written 25 to 35 years previously or from oral history. Handwriting is often difficult to read and M. Thomas Sharp could easily have made mistakes. However, that Mr. Sharp compiled the list is a blessing to historians because many of the board of mayor and aldermen’s official records

and minute books are now missing. There are numerous inaccuracies in his list; bear that in mind as the history of these men and their families are unraveled over 140 years later.

When the rare directory for the City of Corinth for 1871-1872 came to light about 1993, it included the names of the town officials. Two of the aldermen, namely Joseph Evans and Samuel Goodwin, were African-Americans.

This adds two more black aldermen for a total of five. Although not elected, another African-American, Willis Taylor, was a candidate for alderman in 1884 and his history is added to these biographical sketches.

Reconstructing biographies of famous men and women is often difficult; constructing biographical facts on obscure people is even more so. Below are the histories of each of these African-American aldermen in the hopes that the information is more correct and intuitive than not. All too often, history is a multi-layered process that is not clarified the first few times or by one individual seeking information.

■ Joseph Evans, Alderman for the City of Corinth 1871-1873, expressman Joseph Evans appears on the 1870 Alcorn County, Mississippi, U. S. Census in the town of Corinth as a 24-year old mulatto born in South Carolina.

Other items enumerated for him include that he owned $250 in real estate; that he could read and write; and his occupation was an “expressman.”

This was probably a railroad job of packing goods

Crossword

on and off trains. Also listed is his wife, America (but often called Maggie), a 25-year old black female born in Tennessee, who could not read and write.

Later census records show that she was born in Alabama.

This young couple had two children, both born in Mississippi, by 1870 - Josephine, age 2; and 3-year-old Everett Evans.

The 1900 census reports that she was the mother of nine children, six of whom were living at the time. All of her children were classified as “mulatto”.

On February 15, 1867, Joe Evans purchased the north side Lot 12 Block 410 in the Mitchell & Mask Survey of Corinth for $100. In 1871 it appears that he purchased all of Lot 12 for an additional $100. This block is located on Cox Street between Murdock and Fleming Streets in the area north of the old City Dog Pound building. Therefore, by the 1870 census he had made improvements or had other property. What cost $100 in 1870 would cost $1,702.79 in the year 2010. This lot was sold for taxes 1875.

It appears the Evans family was buying neighboring Murdock Street lots because in 1878 America Evans purchased by quit claim deed Lots 10 and 11 of Block 410 for $8.70; the original deed was not recorded thus a quit claim deed was issued and the $8.70 probably represents legal fees incurred by the grantor. The Evans house was on Lot 10. The 19131914 Corinth Directory list Maggie Evans as a laundress whose home was at 306 Murdock Street.

The lower working class

population generally had difficulty keeping property if they had any at all.

A widow of this era with limited employment opportunities and skills was particularly compromise.

Therefore, America’s ability to maintain a residence and raise young children shows wonderful character and determination.

America Evans sold Lot 11 without a house to her daughter Josie (Evans) Colquitt in 1898 for $1.00 and natural love and affection. On January 29, 1918, four of America’s heirs sold their interest in the property, Lot 10 with house, to their sister Josie (Evans) Colquitt. It is this deed which establishes that America (Maggie) Evans died by 1917 and also substantiates that America had children from former relationships.

The 1918 deed lists the names of the heirs as Mary Rogers, Selma Cumby, Claiborne Ferguson, Carrie Buford and Josie Colquit.

The Claiborne Evans (born 1864 in Alabama) on the 1880 household of Joseph Evans listed Claiborne as an Evans and his son. However, Claiborne uses the Ferguson surname on the 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 census records. Claiborne [a.k.a., Clay] and his wife Alice (Summer) Ferguson often resided near his sisters.

At first Claiborne was a machinist but by 1920 he owned a meat market.

Claiborne’s and Alice’s son, Claiborne Ferguson, Jr., (born 1901 & died 1960) became a popular local tamale vendor.

Additionally, Claiborne’s older sister, Mary (born July 1860 in Alabama) married Andy Rogers on July 7, 1878, the marriage license was for Mary McDaniel not Evans. Therefore, anyone tracing this family needs to keep in mind that America might have been a McDaniel too. Mary and Andy Rogers did not have any children. Andy Rogers was a carpenter and in 1913-1914 they resided at 221 Davis Street.

Selma Evans married Henry C. Cumby, a blacksmith, in 1898 and raised five children. This family appears on local census records up to 1930. In 19131914 Henry Cumby (with wife Selma) was listed as an employee of the W. T. Adams Machine Company and resided at 219 Davis Street. From census records, their children were Marie, Lillie, Everett, Hazel and Allie Cumby.

The youngest daughter of Joseph and America Evans was Carrie Evans who was born in October of 1880 or 1881. She married John Buford about 1904.

Census records show that her children were Magnolia, John, Charles, and James Buford. The family moved to Danville, Vermilion County, Illinois where they appear on the 1930 federal census.

Josie (Evans) Colquitt also moved to Danville, Illinois.

On the 1880 census, it is recorded that Joseph Evans was still residing in Corinth with his wife and family. Children were listed as Mary (Evans) Rogers (born 1860 in Alabama); Claiborne Evans (born

1864 in Alabama); “Josie” Josephine Evans (born 1869 in Mississippi), Everett Evans (born 1871), Charley Evans (born 1877), and Selma Evans (born 1877); the youngest daughter, Carrie Evans (possibly born Oct. 1880) was not enumerated on the 1870 census but was on the 1900 census with her widowed mother who was then using the name of Maggie Evans.

Joseph Evans probably died between 1882 and 1892 because America (but listed as Maggie), is enumerated as being the parent of Selma and Carrie on the 1892 county census of educable school children; normally the parent listed is the father or stepfather. In 1900, Maggie (or America) is listed as being born in April 1850 in Tennessee, with an occupation of washer woman and it states that she could not read or write.

Additional information shows that she had six living children out of nine in 1900. Josie Colquitt and Carrie Evans, her daughters resided with her; they could both read and write; Josie was a washer woman and Carrie was a cook.

In 1910 America (but listed as Maggie), now born in 1847 in Alabama, is still residing on Murdock Street with her widowed daughter, Josie Colquitt.

America probably died about 1917 in Corinth. Indexed cemetery records do not list monuments for Joseph or America Evans.

■ Samuel Goodwin African-American City of Corinth Alderman 1871-1872, Baptist preacher The 1870 census also listed Samuel Goodwin (also spelled Goodwyn) residing in the town of Corinth. The information given for him shows that he was a 31-year old black laborer with a real estate value of $500. His wife, listed as Mary, was a 28-year old black born in Alabama. Both could read and write. Two children entered were, Lavinia, age 10, who attended school during the year, and oneyear old Mattie; both were born in Mississippi. The nine-year gap between the ages of the children probably indicates that Mary was not the mother of Lavinia. The household also included 16-year old Sam Mobley, born in Mississippi, who also attended school during the year.

Samuel Goodwin also appears with his family in Solomon, Norton County, Kansas on the 1880 federal census. On this census, Samuel Goodwin is 46 years old and a Baptist preacher. He married many people in Corinth before his relocation. On both the 1870 and 1880 census, his place of birth was given as Mississippi; the 1880 census, which gives the birthplace of parents, shows both of his parents were born in Mississippi too.

■ A. Strong - African-American City of Corinth Alderman in 1876 Elected Corinth Alderman for 1876 – Alexander Strong was an AfricanAmerican mulatto, born about 1841 to 1842 in Georgia. The 1880 federal census for Alcorn County,

Cryptoquip

shows that he was a wagon maker and wheelwright by trade. He was about 29 when the 1870 federal census was taken and he appeared in the town of Covington, Newton County, Georgia. He owned $250 dollars in Georgia real estate. On both census records, Alex is shown married to Adaline who was also a mulatto born in Georgia about 1843 to 1845.

The couple apparently did not have children.

Since the 1890 federal census is extinct, it is difficult to trace them further. When in Covington, Ga., in 1870, a Cordelia Bryant, who was a 10year old (born 1860) mulatto residing in the Strong household, and she may have been related.

On the 1880 census for Corinth, Mack Strong and family, whose race was given as black, were next door neighbors. Mack Strong was listed as a 40year old (born 1840) barber, born in Alabama with parents born in Alabama.

Although Alex Strong was born in Georgia with Georgia parents there is still a possible link between the families. In the 1875-1876 Corinth City Directory there are no African-American Strongs listed. The directory for the city government does not list Alexander Strong as being an alderman.

■ R. Wesley Sims An African-American alderman for the City of Corinth in 1876 and 1880.

R. Wesley Sims was born about 1840 in Mississippi and resided in Corinth, Alcorn County, Mississippi from 1870 into 1880’s. This is substantiated because he is listed on the federal census returns in Corinth. In 1870, he was a gardener with no real estate and a personal estate of $50. He is listed in the 1875 Corinth City Directory as a colored school teacher, residing on Tate Street at the east side of Pierce Street, so he is residing in the area of the National Cemetery.

That he continued being a school teacher is substantiated on the 1880 federal census.

On both census reports, R. Wesley Sims was married to Kitty who was born about 1843 in Mississippi and in both census records, she kept house. On the 1870 census she could not read or write but by 1880 she must have mastered the skills. Combining both census records, the surviving children of Wesley Sims, all born in Mississippi, were: Van Sims (born about 1866); Pharaoh Sims (born about1867); Herod Sims (born about 1869); Henrietta Sims (born 1876); Mack Sims (born about 1878); Zacharias Sims (born about 1880); and Georgia Sims (born 1885).

Van Sims was the only child listed as mulatto.

Since R. Wesley Sims and Kitty Sims were both listed as Black, there is a possibility that Van was from a former union. Enumerated on the 1900 federal census, Kitty reported having four living children out of thirteen children.

Phil Collins offers some of his past Associated Press

Brittany Noelle Stevens and Andrew Wesley Park

Stevens—Park Larry and Sheila Stevens of Corinth announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Brittany Noelle Stevens, to Andrew Wesley Park, son of Kenneth and Joyce Park of Iuka.

Miss Stevens is a 2006 graduate of Corinth High School Academic and Performing Arts Center. She graduated from Northeast Mississippi Community College with an Associate’s degree in Business Administration and her Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Mississippi State University.

She is presently employed at Developmental Industries, Inc. in

Corinth.

Mr. Park is a 1997 graduate of Tishomingo County High School. He is a Real Estate Agent at Coldwell Banker Southern Real Estate.

The couple will exchange vows at 2 p.m. on March 5, 2016, at Christ United Methodist Church in Corinth. A reception will follow at the CUMC fellowship hall in Corinth. All friends and family are invited to attend. No in town invitations were sent.

The couple will spend their honeymoon on a 7-day East Caribbean Carnival Cruise departing from New Orleans.

After the honeymoon, they will reside in Iuka.

NEW YORK — Singer and drummer Phil Collins is taking one tentative step out of musical retirement by offering up huge chunks of his past.

The multiple Grammy Award-winner is this winter releasing all eight of his solo albums, each remastered and accompanied by a second CD of demos and live recordings, many previously unreleased.

His hope is that fans and nonfans will explore more than just his hits,

which include “In the Air Tonight,” ‘‘Groovy Kind of Love,” ‘‘One More Night,” ‘‘Sussudio,” ‘‘Can’t Hurry Love,” ‘‘Against All Odds,” and “Separate Lives.”

“People that don’t like me — and there are some, I know it’s hard to believe — most of the time have based their opinion on what they hear on the radio. It’s played to death,” he said. “I’m a bit more than that. And the ‘bit more’ is on the albums.”

He’s already released 1981’s “Face Value” and 1993’s “Both Sides.”

Next up is 1982’s “Hello, I Must Be Going!” and 1996’s “Dance into the Light,” both out Friday.

Each new double CD has Collins recreating his pose from the original album cover.

A long list of current artists — including Adele, Lorde, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams — have publicly come out as fans.

“I’m very flattered by that and I think there’s a lot of people out there that may think, ‘OK. Let’s see what the fuss is about,’” said Collins.

Nick Davis, a producer, engineer and mixer whose credits include music by Bjork, Deep Purple, Genesis, Mike + the Mechanics, The Pogues and XTC, remastered the new Collins albums and hopes fans dig past the hits.

“There are some incredible songs on there and there is some incredible musicianship on there. That’s almost a treat, really: It’s finding the album tracks rather than just the singles,” he said.

ALDERMEN CONTINUED FROM 3B

According to the 1915 list of “Corinth Officials of Past & Present” painstakingly compiled by M. Thomas Sharp, W. Sims was an alderman for the town of Corinth in 1876. “W. Sims” and “R. W. Sims” are probably the same person. R. Wesley Sims would have been about 36-years old when first elected.

The death date for R. Wesley Sims is difficult to uncover; he is not listed in the cemetery indexes, nor has an obituary been located in the existing newspapers. However,

he died before the 1900 federal census because Kitty remarried to a Frazier Williams (born 1840 in Tennessee) and they reported being married one year by the June 1900 census enumerations. Georgia Sims and Henrietta Sims were the only children living with Kitty at the time; they were living south of the east and west railroad line, originally called the Memphis and Charleston Railroad.

R. Wesley and Kitty Sims’ daughter Henrietta Sims married Samuel Summer in 1901 and was widowed by the 1910 census; generally, her occupation was listed as

a laundress, and she resided at 411 King Street as early as 1913 according to the City Directory for that year. Her two children, Madora Summer (born 1901) and Matilda Summer (born 1903) both became school teachers. Matilda married Eli C. Pigford. Henrietta (Sims) Summer is listed in the Corinth City Directory for 1950 still living at 411 King Street.

Always on the cutting-edge of styles and trends, the flooring specialists have crafted a reputation of quality, sincerity and hospitality.

“We strive to be the best we can possibly be in the flooring industry and to treat each customer who walks through our doors with the warmth and respect we’ve become known for,” said Owner Lesley Raines, who stands behind his products and work. “We are committed to excellency both in the installation of our flooring and in the care and satisfaction of our customers.”

With over two decades of experience and a desire to get the job done right, the design center offers a broad selection of flooring to fit every lifestyle and budget.

Originally located on U.S. Highway 72, the attentive staff remains true to their origins.

“I am a firm believer that you never forget your roots,” said Raines. “We have been blessed to be apart of this community for 24 years now and depend on everyone here to help us stay in business. Likewise, I know the community depends on me as well. So, I always try and shop locally whenever pos-

sible.”

“We’ve recently added a new floating vinyl plank to our offerings which snaps together and doesn’t hurt to get wet,” said the owner. “There is currently a huge market for laminate floors, but they won’t take water so you wouldn’t want to install them in a bathroom or washroom. This new product gives the customer for flexibility within their spaces and comes in a variety of price ranges from different manufacturers.”

Going above and beyond industry expectations, Lesley’s will come out and replace flooring in the event of a toilet or other water leak.

“We are a full-service flooring business with a home-town friendliness,” said Raines.

“I believe that is what has set us apart and kept us in business for all these years.”

Trinity Health Clinic is in the caring business.

The clinic realizes complete healing involves more than just the body.

“From our beginning in 2008, our plan was to offer our patients a truly caring environment where they could receive the very best health care possible,” said owner Cynthia Pearson, ANPBC, FNP-BC. “We want it to feel like family taking care of family.”

That commitment involves treating patients “body, mind and spirit.”

As a practicing nurse for 32 years and Certified Nurse Practitioner for 21 years, Pearson and her staff focus on delivering the best health care possible on an individual basis through the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of health issues.

“We have never met a stranger,” said Pearson.

“Our patients know we love them and it’s not unusual for them to leave with a hug … our attitude is positive and upbeat.”

“At Trinity, our focus is our patients,” said Pearson. “We offer them a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on or just someone to listen when they need a friend … we pay attention to what they need beyond the physical and try to reach out and let them see we truly care.”

Trinity strives to go the extra mile for patients even in light of ongoing changes in health care.

“Every aspect of health care delivery has been affected from patient access to care to what prescriptions they can take ... so much of what providers have done in the past is no

longer a decision between the provider and the patient,” said Pearson. “Insurance companies decide which medications will be covered and those that won’t ... they decide if a test can be completed or not. It can all be very confusing to patients and frustrating for providers.”

Pearson understands the need to be cost effective and hold health care costs down.

“Because of the constant changes in healt care, all providers have to work hard to be sure they don’t lose sight of the reason we do what we do,” she said.

It all boils down to the patients.

“That’s our focus,” Pearson said. “The one thing that never changes is things always change … welcome to health care.”

Lee Beau’s: The cutest LITTLE boutique in town

A handy-dandy option for all things infant, maternity, tween, and women, Lee Beau’s is the cutest LITTLE boutique in town.

With a variety of options from which to choose, the store initially began as one mom’s way of addressing the lack of infant and maternity options in Corinth.

“We started out carrying only maternity and infant items, but our inventory has definitely grown since then,” said owner Casey Dunn. “We now carry a wide-assortment of items and accessories for infant, toddlers, tween (boys and girls), and women’s.”

Open for a year now, the boutique carries everything from rattles and burp cloths to newborn photo props, unique gifts and jewelry.

“We also offer free gift wrap, a private room for mothers to nurse in with a comfortable chair, and free delivery for those who call and purchase by phone with a credit card,” said Dunn. “If you need a gift, but don’t know what to buy, let us pick it out, wrap it, and deliver it to you, as long as your in town.”

As an added convenience, the store allows customers to see an expectant mother’s baby registry on display and

choose an item directly or we can even customize a gift basket according to the buyer’s chosen theme.

With friendly service and a whimsical, inviting atmosphere, Lee Beau’s is known for their colorful and unique front window displays.

“People often stop by just to let us know how much they enjoy them,” said the owner. “They also say they appreciate our generous selection and low prices.”

Housed in a convenient downtown location, the store has future plans to add a few unique women’s items and more clothing and gift options.

Meeks Sewing Center offers courteous service, commitment Founded by Elmer Meeks in 1971, Meeks Sewing Center has served Corinth and surrounding areas for over four decades.

With warm, courteous service and a commitment to customer satisfaction, the Meeks name has become synonymous with quality and geniality.

“We stand behind our products and repairs,” said owner Edwin Meeks, who proudly carries on the tradition started by his father 45 years ago.

“Some have been under the impression that our store closed after my father’s passing, but we are still here and aren’t going anywhere.”

Shadowing his father’s footsteps at the age of six, Edwin eventually pur-

chased the business and has owned and operated it for the past six years.

“I didn’t always want to go into the trade of repairing and selling sewing machines, but my dad convinced me to carry on the family business and I have done so for 15 years now.”

Having grown up in the sewing center, the owner expressed his appreciation for the business and its loyal clientèle.

“I grew up in this place and really enjoy coming back to it,” he said. “I am extremely grateful for the support of our customers, many who consistently travel from as far as Memphis, Kosciusko and New Albany to take advantage of our services.”

In addition to selling and repairing four brands

of sewing machines, the center also sells two brands of vacuum cleaners and offers free demos to their customers.

“It is my belief that if someone sells you a machine, they should also be willing to show you how to use it,” said Edwin, who believes in going the extra mile.

“I want our customers to have at the very least, a basic knowledge of how to work their machine before they leave and I am happy to answer questions or sit down with them again if need be.”

Dedicated to the happiness of their clients, the sewing center has plans to create a classroom in the back of its building for the purpose of teaching others the skill of sewing.

Atlas Safe Room: Best in the business

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Free Installation thru March 31, 2016

Atlas Safe Rooms of MS, LLC 888-970-3237

TUPLEO — After the All-American City was hit with damaging tornados in the fall of 2014, two friends decided it was time to find shelter.

Jim Armstrong and Jim Chrestman and their wives were without a safe place when those storms crossed Lee County.

“We didn’t have any type of shelter and that concerned us,” said Armstrong. “We started doing a little research and found out there weren’t many options locally for storm shelters.”

The duo reached out a little further and discovered the Atlas Safe Room -- a fortified room providing safe shelter and installed wherever desired.

“We found a company that engineers, manufactures and tests their safe rooms,” added Armstrong. “They are the best of the best and they understand the importance of having a safe and trusted place to go during severe weather.”

The two Jims and their wives formed a business and became a dealer for Atlas Safe Room in Nov. 2014.

The premier builder of storm shelters and safe rooms, Atlas is headquartered in Joplin, Mo. The two Tupleo businessmen service North Mississippi, providing quality safe rooms and professional installation.

“Atlas designs tornado shelters that are substantially stronger and better built than anything else currently on the market,” said Chrestman. “Our goal is for every home and business in North Mississippi to have a safe place to go during a tornado with a Atlas Safe Room.”

Because safe rooms are installed above ground,

A 4x4 Atlas Safe Room was recently installed outside a North Mississippi home.

During a new home construction, a 6x8 Atlas Safe Room was installed inside the garage.

Chrestman said handicap accessibly is an important feature of Atlas Safe Rooms.

“No need for in-ground installation -- they can be installed anywhere from a garage to a closet,” Chrestman said.

A member of the American Tornado Shelter Association, Atlas Safe Rooms are built with all precision steel construction (seven gauge thick steel) and can be anchored to any substantial existing garage concrete slab, basement slab or even outdoor slab.

Each safe room is made with modular panels, which means that each is expandable and relocat-

able.

“As your family grows, your safe room can grow as well,” said Armstrong.

“If you move, you can easily have your shelter disassembled to move along with you.”

The modular design also prevents being trapped inside.

“After installation, two wrenches are left inside the shelter to remove the bolts on any panel, allowing for multiple emergency exits,” he added.

Chrestman added their safe rooms can also be used for a panic room or secure storage for firearms and other valuables.

Each safe room comes standard with a Grade 1 High Security keyed lock.

Chrestman and Armstrong said they have installed a number of safe rooms in the Crossroads area.

“Business has been good, and we look forward to helping more families stay safe during severe storms,” said Armstrong.

t. feazell, ‘A true shopping experience’ As always, shopping at t. feazell is all about the ambiance and the feeling you get as you walk through the door. At t. feazell our main focus is on the happiness of our customers. We want them to feel welcomed, appreciated, and valued. We feel our attentive customer service is what continues to bring in new customers as well as keep our loyal customers returning.

We have been extremely blessed in our efforts and feel that it’s not all about the sales at t. feazell, but also about giving back to the community we love so much. Last year we were fortunate to host the Mrs. Mississippi America and Mrs. Tennessee America pageants and are honored and excited to have been chosen as the venue for their meet-and-greet again this year.

Our biggest fund-raiser to date and one we are extremely passionate about was our “Remember Corinth” event which raised money for the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America in honor of my late grandmother, Mrs. Emma Ophelia Hammock Price. The response from the community was amazing. Thanks to the generous support of over 200 of our friends and neighbors, we were able to raise a substantial amount of money to fight the disease which is the most common form of dementia in the world today.

We invited everyone to bring in pictures of their loved ones, shared informational

If nothing else just to raise awareness and educate others on an irreversible, progressive brain disorder which incidence continues to rise among our elderly population. We look forward to hosting our 2nd Annual “Remember Corinth” and are expecting our numbers to double – both in the attendance and the amount of money raised.

We feel our events draw more tourists to the downtown area. One of the biggest compliments we have received was an outof-town customer who said they drive to Corinth just to shop at t. feazell. We hope to continue and strive to be a “destination location” to shop. Without our customers, we would not be able to continue to grow and expand. Over the years, we have had the opportunity increase our inventory space two times. Just this past year we were able to grow and expand to provide more options for our ladies of curve as well as to add more choices to our shoe selections. We have recently renovated our original location to accommodate our growth in men’s fashion options.

We are extremely blessed and thankful for this growth and can’t wait to see what God has in store for t. feazell in 2016.

Brian and Julie Shirley enjoy being part of the growing SoCo District.

Shirley Dawg’s expands clothing lines; now offers much larger showroom space Shirley Dawg’s story started with a humble Tshirt shop in downtown Corinth.

Now, it’s a premiere men’s clothing shop in the popular SoCo District with almost 5,000 square feet of showroom space.

With the larger showroom came more labels and sizes.

“Southern Marsh is the first one we carried,” said Brian Shirley, owner with his wife, Julie. “We’ve got over 40 now that we carry. This year, we’ve added three or four new ones.

We’re carrying blue jeans now, and we’re going to up our pants selection of khakis and casual wear.”

Popular lines include Patagonia, Southern Tide, Vineyard Vines, Rowdy Gentleman, Southern Point Co. and Southern Shirt Company. While men’s clothing is the main focus, the shop also carries Lauren James for women.

Shirley Dawg’s also carries ties, bowties, underwear and accessories like watches and laptop cases.

“We focused on area high school designs and hometown logos. After a year, we noticed the lack of men’s clothing stores in the area and decided to change direction towards a retail store.”

Brian Shirley Co-owner, Shirley Dawg’s The shop began in April 2012 in a small, 500-square-foot building on Fillmore Street.

“We focused on area high school designs and hometown logos,” said Brian. “After a year, we noticed the lack of men’s clothing stores in the area

and decided to change direction towards a retail store.”

After looking at some properties, they heard from SoCo developers Trey Albright and Stuart Green. The couple decided to make the leap and moved into a SoCo shop in March 2013. The business took off, and the Shirleys decided to add the connecting building next door, giving them 2,600 square feet. With business continuing to boom, they moved yet again to the current two-story corner building, where they opened on Nov. 5.

They love the vitality of SoCo. “I think it has helped all of us, because you can park and hit four or five shops in a row,” said Brian. “I think it was a great idea by Stuart and Trey, and we’re glad we’re part of it.”

Shirley Dawg’s is at 629 Wick Street. Give them a call at 284-0111 or visit shirleydawgs.com to learn more about their brands.

Harbin Heating and Air — Where ‘Your comfort is our business’

Members of the Harbin Heating and Air office team are Mae Harbin (from left), Betsy Harbin, Ashton McCasland, Adrianna Jenkins and Kayla Rinks.

“Your comfort is our business.”

It’s how Harbin Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. works.

“We have a fast, dependable service and we strive to make our customers comfortable and happy,” said Kevin Harbin, vice president of the business.

Quality heating and cooling products is just the beginning at the Counce, Tenn. business. Harbin Heating and Air Conditioning Inc. technicians are trained and equipped to handle anything from routine HVAC maintenance and repairs on a residential system to complete turnkey installations for commercial environments.

“Our mission is to carry on the integrity and quality service which was started in 1988 when Harbin Heating and Air Conditioning was founded,” said Kevin. “We plan to offer the best products and services possible for our customers.”

Customers will receive excellent service and people-friendly approach when they deal with the business. Harbin Heating and Air Conditioning will stop at nothing to ensure its customers are satisfied. It’s something the business has been doing for 28 years.

“It is important to us to take care of our customers and do what we said we will do … we treat them like we want to be treated,” said Kevin.

“Your heart has to be set on what you can provide others and not what they can provide you,” added company president Randall Harbin.

Some of the services offered to their customers include: air conditioning installation, air conditioning repair, boiler service, HVAC service, heating system installation and heating system repair.

“Maintenance is key for us,” said Randall.

“We offer a great maintenance program to our customers.”

The maintenance plan sees technicians check the unit twice a year and also offer a 15-percent parts discount.

Harbin Heating and Air also offers a 10year parts and labor warranty for those who buy from them.

“When you buy one of our systems, you are not going to have to worry about one for a while other than the maintenance,” said Kevin.

Federal, state and local governments and utilities offer many rebates and tax incentives which encourage investment in heating and cooling. The eScore program – developed through a partnership between Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and local power companies – provides homeowners with a simple way to make existing homes as energy-efficient as possible.

“We do a free evaluation and advise homeowners on the improvements that need to be made,” said Kevin. “Every dollar put into those type of programs will save people around $3.”

“Most people don’t know what they need,” added Mae Harbin. “Our team takes time to educate customers and show them the improvements they need to make because we feel like we have the best customers anyone could have.”

Another way the company helps is offering an 18-month no interest financing plan.

Harbin Heating and Air stays on top of the latest regulations in the air and heating industry.

“Our team trains a minimum of 60 hours a year,” said Kevin. “We are also in the process of building a testing lab to train our technicians … we see that is the wave of the future.”

Harbin Heating and Air offers 24-hour service.

“Someone is available every weekend,” said Kevin. “It’s important to us to have someone

The company foundation consists of efficient, reliable and cost effective heating, air conditioning and indoor air quality products from York.

“York is our top brand, but we work on all makes and models,” said Mae. The Harbin team is not standing still. They continue to come up with future plans to benefit their customers.

“We are dissecting into the residential replacement market,” said Kevin. “Our technicians are trained and qualified to take on that challenge.”

Another sales person is expected to be hired to help in

the residential replacement market.

The Harbins are quick to praise God as the reason of their success.

“He has kept us in business for 28 years,” said Mae. “We want to glorify Him in everything we do,” added Kevin.

Harbin Heating and Air’s convenient hours are Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The business is open by appointment on Saturday and Sunday.

Harbin is located at 5910 Highway 57, Counce, Tenn.

To schedule an appointment call 731-689-3651 or 662287-6809.

“Since 2014, our sales force has tripled,” said Broker Doug Jumper. “In 2015, we saw a 50 percent increase in sales volume. In the first quarter of 2016, we are looking at about half of our 2015 sales volume.”

The Pinnacle, offering Corinth’s finest apartments, continues to be a highlight for the firm.

The response “has been unreal,” said Jumper. “I can’t get them built fast enough.”

Located on nine acres on South Tate Street, the upscale development is approaching 50 percent completion with 16 units finished and occupied.

The upscale apartment units of Jumper’s Pinnacle development on South Tate Street are in high demand.

The next four are under construction and expected to be complete in March or April, and they are already rented.

“We are hoping to have more available in the fall,” said Jumper.

With design elements such as stained concrete flooring, crown molding, granite countertops and recessed lighting, the Pinnacle was conceived to meet the demand for quality rental property,

particularly among professionals who expect to live in the city for just a few years. They are also ideal for seniors looking to downsize.

The two- and threebedroom apartments are

equipped with all appliances and two-car garages.

The firm strives to advance economic development in Corinth and Alcorn County with projects such as the $27 million investment in Caterpillar’s 540,000-square-foot logistics facility. Jumper has also worked with Kimberly-Clark and other major employers.

“We are looking at some good news in the coming months for the city and county with a big commercial development that is in the works right now,” he said.

In addition to significant work in commercial real estate development, Jumper and his team offer full residential real estate services, putting their decades of experience to work for every client to

help them find exactly what they need. Brokers work side-by-side with clients from consultation to closing, forging the kind of relationships that make people feel comfortable and keep them coming back.

Jumper, a certified real estate brokerage manager, a member of the National Association of REALTORS and the Mississippi Association of REALTORS, grew up in his family’s real estate business and followed in the footsteps of his grandfather and father in establishing his own company in 2007.

Serving clients throughout Northeast Mississippi, Jumper Realty is located at 2782 South Harper. Visit them online at jumperrealty.com or call (662) 286-2828.

Memorial Funeral Home always stands ready to help Caring for grieving families and their deceased loved ones, Memorial Funeral Home of Corinth has guided customers through one of life’s most trying times for almost three decades.

“Losing someone you love is an emotional and difficult experience and there are a million decisions which have to be made,” said Manager Jay Jones. “It’s our job to help make the decision process easier and to steer families toward the options which are best for them.”

Located at 613 Bunch Street, the funeral home is set up to assist families with funeral, cremation and memorial services.

As a part of the Dignity Memorial network of funeral services, Memorial offers exclusive benefits such as National Transferability of Prearranged Services, the Bereavement Travel Program, the 24-Hour Compassion Helpline and access to an acclaimed grief management library.

“Our prearranged services are a good way to

ease the stress and give families a peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones final arrangements are in order,” said Jones.

Offering a compassionate and personalized touch, the funeral home also has catering and reception services.

“Our staff coordinates with professional caterers to organize all types of funeral receptions or to arrange for food delivery before, during or after the service,” said the Manager. “We can arrange everything from a simple service with snacks to a full-service meal and can even deliver to your home, business or other venue.”

With a focus on providing excellent service, the funeral home began as Frazier-Jones & Wooley, Inc. when it was founded in 1989 by three local business and civic professionals – Leon Frazier, Harold Jones and Pete Wooley.

The same principles upon which the three men originally built the foundation of their business are still in place today.

“Our motto remains:

‘Where thoughtfulness dwells, service excels, and caring is not just a word,” said Jones who stands by the promise.

Always searching for new ways to better serve their customers, Memorial now offers a website, service personalization, a register book, programs and veteran services.

Those who have served in the military will receive a discount on services.

“We’ve recently repainted and remodeled our lobby to create a warmer, more comfortable space ,” said Jones. “We are also rolling out our new virtual HMIS Plus system which will allow families to compare and contrast their options when picking out caskets and other items.”

“I am also excited to announce that my brother Kirk Jones is currently working with us at Memorial on his funeral director’s apprenticeship and is now in his second year,” he added.

In addition to Memorial, the Jones family also operates McPeters Funeral Directors.

Casabella Corinth Clearance Center expands showroom; remains committed to its many customers

“

Casabella’s Corinth Clearance Center has it all when it comes to furniture.

That commitment to customers began in 1988 when Casabella Furniture Inc. started in the retail business on Farmington Road.

“We can meet your furniture needs,” Leonard Casabella.

“It’s who we are and what we do.”

Casabella’s Corinth Clearance Center carries furniture for every room in the house -- items such as bedroom and living room suites, recliners, mattress sets and rugs.

“We carry everything except appliances,” added Casabella.

An expanded showroom floor has increased Casabella’s commitment to customers.

“The expansion probably makes it the largest clearance center in northeast Mississippi which means larger inventory, greater selections and fantastic savings,” said Casabella.

Casabella’s Corinth Clearance Center, located directly behind Casabella Furniture at 2403 South Harper Road, is open seven days a week. Store hours are Monday-Saturday from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. and on Sunday from 1-6 p.m.

In 1995, Scotty Casabella

Casabella’s Corinth Clearance Center has multiple sales because of the number of people who come from all over to buy. We have sold furniture to people from all over whether it’s a big or small sale … our staff is more than qualified to meet furniture needs.

Leonard Casabella | Owner, Casabella Furniture Inc.

built a 25,000-foot showroom next to Walmart. A few years later a 45,000-foot warehouse was constructed to stock the entire inventory.

Casabella’s Corinth Clearance Center was added in 2001.

“Casabella’s Corinth Clearance Center has multiple sales because of the number of people who come from all over to

buy,” said Casabella. “We have sold furniture to people from all over whether it’s a big or small sale … our staff is more than qualified to meet furniture needs.”

Scotty and Leonard Casabella were the only employees in 1988 to pick up at the warehouse, set furniture on the showroom floor and deliver to

”

the customers home. They also handled all the maintenance and bookkeeping.

With no retail experience, they sold one living room suite the first week and two the second week.

“We want to thank our customers for their loyal support over the years,” said Casabella.

“You never know what kind of

bargain you are going to find at the clearance center … that’s why some people shop regularly here.”

Casabella’s Corinth Clearance Center isn’t a normal furniture store, according to Casabella.

“We carry one of a kind items and much more,” said Casabella about the clearance center. “If you can’t find what you are looking for, maybe the next time we will have it.”

Delivery is also an option.

“Most people bring their trucks or trailers to pick up their purchase within a couple of weeks, but we can also deliver,” said Casabella. “We have several trucks and experienced delivery guys ready to deliver.”

The clearance center accepts cash, check or credit card.

“They can also apply for up to 2-year interest free financing,” added Casabella.

Casabella’s Corinth Clearance Center has sold and delivered furniture from Little Rock, Ark. to Destin, Fla., not to mention Corinth and surrounding towns.

“If saving money is important to you and your family, you might want to shop at Casabella’s Corinth Clearance Center,” said Casabella.

“

The expansion probably makes it the largest clearance center in northeast Mississippi which means larger inventory, greater selections and fantastic savings.

Taylor Heating & Air: Quality service since 1958 Taylor Heating & Air Conditioning is the name to know when it comes to staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Since 1958, the business has provided the quality and dependability people have come to expect.

Billy P. Taylor started the business with Carrier in 1958. Now 58 years later, the business is now owned by his sons, Joel and Dan. “While others working out of their house have come and gone, we have been right here for 58 years, selling and servicing quality Carrier equipment,” said 42-year company president Dan Taylor. “Our customers know we will be there to service their product in the future.”

As Corinth grew over the years, the business expanded from a two-man operation to a staff of 11.

Taylor Heating & Air performs all operations associated with heating and air conditioning, and the second-generation owners operate the business in a hands-on fashion by personally overseeing daily operations and performing all system design and engineering.

No company in the area has more experience when it comes to air, whether heating, cooling, moving, managing, wetting, drying or exhausting.

“We do projects from $2,000 to $1 million,” said company president Taylor. “We still do a lot of residential new construction and existing residential homes. We are also the only heating and air conditioning business in Alcorn County with a state contrac-

tor’s license.”

Commercial work over the past couple of years has included systems at Dodd Eye Clinic, Northeast Mississippi Community College Field House, Aluma-Form Inc. in Walnut and the curretn Avectus project.

Taylor said the largest projects the business has completed were Crow’s Neck Environmental Education Center at Paden and the Crossroads Arena in Corinth.

The business’ fleet of vehicles includes a 17ton crane which allows workers to set equipment on roofs safely and efficiently.

“All our service trucks or vans are completely outfitted with parts for Carrier equipment and parts that a lot of times are interchangeable on other brands of equipment,” said Taylor. “In almost 90 percent of the instances, it saves the trip of having to come back to the shop and get the part.

Each van is equipped with diagnostic tools, gauges, charging devices, freon removal machines and things of that nature.

It’s like a rolling shop.”

Taylor services the Carrier units it sells, as well as all HVAC equipment made my other manufacturers.

“We are even set up to do a warranty service on several brands other than Carrier,” said Taylor. “We

are also the oldest HVAC dealer in the area.”

The business is proud of its long association with Carrier, inventor of the air conditioning unit and the world’s largest air conditioning manufacturer.

Taylor said homeowners and businesses “need to choose a reputable dealer. The piece of equipment that is purchased is very important, but the design, the engineering and the installation are equally, if not more, important.”

With proper engineering, a homeowner is assured the system will not leave hot or cold spots.

“It could save you a breakdown in the heat of the summer or the cold of the winter,” said Taylor.

“Many times, you’ll find a potential problem and correct it before it gets to be a real problem.”

Technology has brought some changes to HVAC through the years, but Taylor said air conditioning still operates on the same basic principle — the transfer of heat from an area where it is unwanted to an area where it is more desirable.

Taylor Heating & Air Conditioning has a sheet metal shop and builds and insulates its own duct work. The business is licensed by the state to do HVAC work in any city in Mississippi.

Built in Mississippi, Southern Home Safety storm shelters can also serve as safe rooms or walk-in safes in the event of a home invasion, emergency or other disaster.

Mississippi company seeks families’ safety

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

PRAIRIE — Built with the idea of keeping families safe, Southern Home Safety has been designing and constructing storm shelters for more than 19 years in the home safety industry.

Made in Mississippi is something owner John Blackford is very proud of.

The commercial and residential shelters are built in Prairie, located just south of Tupelo.

Offering both large and small size shelters to accommodate most families and commercial installations, Southern Home Safety is a family-owned business.

Blackford and his staff work closely with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and state emergency management agencies during times of disaster for quick installation of shelters for those in need.

The company is also

a licensed and insured FEMA-compliant storm shelter installer.

Each Southern Home Safety shelter weights up to 17 tons and includes double-plated steel doors and rebar-reinforced concrete walls, ceilings and floors that average more than 6 inches thick.

Blackford said the storm shelters can also serve as safe rooms or walk-in safes in the event of a home invasion, emergency or other disaster.

One of the many great benefits of Southern Home Safety shelters include convenient placement.

The shelters can be installed above-ground within a garage, house, yard or business, and have one single 6-inch step, but ground-level access does allow for wheelchair access if needed.

“We are working on some great new projects, as well,” said Blackford.

The team offers custom

Northeast freshman earns rare distinction BOONEVILLE — A desire to stay connected to the action of sports has led one Northeast Mississippi Community College freshman to a rare distinction.

Geoffrey Pratt is one of just seven students in the entire state to be selected as part of the Health Equity and Leadership Initiative hosted by the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.

Pratt also helped Northeast become just one of three schools in the state to have someone in the initiative. The Tupelo native joins five Hinds Community College students Eddie V. Anderson and Zavier Smith of the Hinds-Utica campus, Antonio McBeth and Christian Minor of the HindsJackson campus and Michael Pham of the Hinds-Raymond campus along with Coahoma Community College’s Justin

Johnson as the only people in the 2016 Health Equity and Leadership Initiative from Mississippi schools.

“I feel blessed being one of seven in the state,” Pratt said.

“It is a big opportunity for me to be part of it. They could have chosen someone else, but they chose me and I am grateful for that. I am going to use this opportunity to gain more knowledge in physical therapy and any other medical field that I feel comfortable with.”

Hosted by the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, the Health Equity and Leadership Initiative was created through funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to aid the institution in not only promoting racial healing, but to also help eradicate health disparities and improve the health equity of all Mississippians.

During the Health Equity and Leadership Initiative, the purpose of the program is to support underrepresented males in becoming leaders in the healthcare workforce while increasing access to health professional education, training and career opportunities.

Aimed at underrepresented males ages 17-25, the program encourages Mississippi community college students to apply and participate in the Institute.

“It gives us knowledge of the health disparities in the medical fields,” Pratt said. “There is a study that shows that black males are not as well represented in the medical fields as others and this gives us an opportunity to get into the program and stick with it with the mentors and everything they provide.”

As stated on the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s website, the goals and objectives of the Health Equity and Leadership Initiative follow along with its mission of helping underrepresented males find a foothold in the medical field.

Some of the goals and objectives of the program include 1) to prepare, develop and train young men of color for successful career opportunities in the healthcare workforce, 2) to improve engagement between communities of color and the state’s only academic medical center, 3) to provide mentoring opportunities for participants by leaders in the healthcare workforce and 4) to improve health literacy among economically and educationally disadvantaged young adults and families.

Northeast biology teacher

Mark Hurley was the one that made Pratt aware of the Health Equity and Leadership Initiative and Pratt took it upon himself to apply for the program.

“My biology teacher, Mr. (Mark) Hurley, gave me the article that they sent out to the community colleges and I took it upon my personal interests to really get into the program,” Pratt said.

While at Northeast, Pratt has taken a full course load to prepare himself for the medical field but has found time to enjoy some of the extracurricular activities that the college offers.

Pratt was a member of the ‘Showband from Tigerland’ marching band in the fall and is currently a member of the Northeast Symphonic Band where he plays the snare drum.

START YOUR JOURNEY AT NORTHEAST. NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI COMMUNITY COLLEGE offers an array of transfer, career, and technical classes, making it the top choice for many students looking to jump-start their educational careers. With some of the best-trained faculty and staff in the region, Northeast strives to prepare its students for the road ahead…whether it is transferring to a four-year college/university or beginning a career. Take the next step on your journey to a brighter future at Northeast.
