Reception to welcome historians BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

A group of historians from across the state will converge on Corinth this week, and a welcome committee of local residents is needed. The Mississippi Historical Society, originally organized in

the 1800s in Jackson, will hold its annual meeting in Corinth. The three-day event kicks off Thursday with a welcoming reception from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Corinth Coliseum on Taylor Street. “I want to invite everyone in the community to please come

join us during the reception,” said long time society member and local historian Rosemary Williams. “We want to show off the best part of Corinth — our people.” Williams said the reception is free to the public and will include a sampling of Corinth’s

favorite food and the musical talents of pianist Ben Tomlinson. “This is a great opportunity for us and for Corinth. People will be here from all walks of life from across our state and surrounding states,” said Williams. “The reception actually

happens right after check-in and registration, so this is like their first impression of Corinth and our hospitality.” Williams said she is expecting more than 100 members, which may include college professors, Please see RECEPTION | 6A

Tourism hosts Capitol Day BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth is taking over the capitol. Tourism representatives will visit the Mississippi State Capitol in Jackson in a few weeks. The group plans on sharing all things wonderful about Corinth with legislators from across the state. “We’ll have the entire rotunda in the capitol building,” said Christy Burns, Corinth Area Convention & Visitors Bureau director. “We plan to show off Corinth by providing information and other goodies that will hopefully make folks want to come visit Corinth.” Staff members from The Alliance, Main Street Corinth, Keep Corinth Beautiful, Mag-

nolia Regional Health Center, Corinth-Alcorn County Airport, Corinth School District and Alcorn School District will assist the tourism office during the special Corinth Capitol Day set for March 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “We will also be inviting everyone from other tourism related groups in town,” Burns added. Corinth has not participated in a Capitol Day in about 10 years. “It’s going to be a great opportunity for us and for the city,” said Burns. “We’ll be serving slugburgers and hot tamales, and providing each legislator with a special swag bag full of cool Corinth stuff.” Please see TOURISM | 6A

Col. Oliver North headlines local evangelism conference BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

WHEELER GROVE — Bailey Smith took a chance when he brought his Real Evangelism Conference to Wheeler Grove Baptist Church. The church hasn’t disappointed. “At the beginning we didn’t know what to expect,” said Wheeler Grove pastor Dr. Kara Blackard, who met Smith in Starkville years ago to discuss the possibly of bringing the

conference to the area. “We believed we would do well if given the opportunity and we have.” Countless lives have been changed Jeremiah through the preaching of God’s Word, singing and fellowship, according to Blackard.

“The conference has been a real blessing,” he said. “The Lord has met the need each year.” The annual event — set for March 18North 20 — will be last conference done by Smith not only at Wheeler Grove but also at Indian Trail Baptist

Church in North Carolina. “After 10 years, we feel like it’s time to move onto something else,” said Dr. Blackard. “The conference has been wonderfully supported by people across the country and we all hate to see it end, but maybe the Lord will open the door to something else.” The Wheeler Grove event was a successful one over the years with thousands of people attending over the three days. “Bailey often said the one at

Wheeler Grove was his premier conference,” said Blackard. Wheeler Grove plans to end the conference with a bang. Nationally known speakers Dr. David Jeremiah and Col. Oliver North will headline the final two nights. “This is going to be the grand finale and we are putting all of our eggs in one basket,” said Blackard. “I think this will be the best conference we have Please see CONFERENCE | 2A

ever done.” The first night of the event will see musical groups performing. The night gets started at 6:30 p.m. with the Wheeler Grove Choir and Mike Speck Trio performing. The Collingsworth Family will be in full concert later during the night. “The Collingsworth Family starting things off on the first night is going to be a highlight of the whole week,” said Blackard. On Thursday March 19, Dr. Blackard and evangelism founder Smith will be leading a 10 a.m. session. Following a noon lunch break — provided at no cost for all who attend — Gerald Harris and Steve

Hale step behind the pulpit at 1:45 p.m. Dr. Jeremiah follows Junior Hill at 6:30 p.m. after a dinner break at 5 p.m. “There will be no charge for anything unless someone wants to buy a CD or DVD,” said Blackard. Jeremiah, founder of Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries and senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in California, has been in the ministry since 1969. On Friday, Mike Stone and Paul Blair will be speaking in the 10 a.m. session. Josh Smith, Steve Smith and Bob Pittman are each slated for the 1:45 p.m. time. Paige Patterson and

North conclude the conference at 6:30 p.m. North – a combat decorated U.S. Marine – is a #1 best-selling author, syndicated columnist and the host of “War Stories” on Fox News Channel. The Mike Speck Trio along with Mae Beth and Eddie Middleton will provide music on the final night. A noon and 5 p.m. meal will also be included on Friday at no cost. “The conference is not only spiritually good, but it is good for the town,” said Blackard. “People from across the country come to the conference and the motels are entirely booked up.” There is no cost to attend any of the services. “I don’t know how you can beat the three nights we have lined up,” said Blackard. “We want people to come and if they do, they will get a blessing.” Wheeler Grove Baptist Church is located just over three miles off of U.S. Highway 45 South. Those wanting to attend the conference should turn right onto County Road 512 for 3.2 miles then turn right onto CR 519.

told us they were in need of some more quilts,” said the guild president. “We usually give them about a dozen and they keep them in the trunk of their cars to wrap people in when an emergency strikes. Community members are good about donating scrap pieces and other materials to us to help.” Past projects have included the creation of items for the Oasis Medical Center and Pine Vale Children’s Home.

“It’s a good feeling to know that the things you’ve made will be of benefit to those who have so little.” Gail Stables Cross City Piecemakers Guild president “We recently made pillow cases for the youth at Pine Vale,” said Stables. “I will never forget how this one little boy immediately took his pillowcase to his bed and put it on his pillow. It’s a good feeling to know that the things you’ve made will

be of benefit to those who have so little.” Boasting a current membership of 21, the guild holds a monthly meeting at the extension service where after a short program, they review their quilt book and show quilting gadgets.

Ten years ago: Dennis Rader, the churchgoing family man accused of leading a double life as the BTK serial killer, was charged in Wichita, Kansas, with 10 counts of first-degree murder. (Rader later pleaded guilty and received multiple life sentences.) A closely divided Supreme Court outlawed the death penalty for juvenile criminals.

Spring is just around the corner -- which means Green Market is too. The 7th annual season of the Green Market at the Crossroads Museum will kick off on Saturday, April 11 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the C.A.R.E. Garden green space at the Corinth Depot. The market will once again be held in conjunction with the Crossroads Chili Cookoff. “We’re so excited about getting started with another season,” said committee member Cathy Wood. “The Green Market is such a great com-

munity event, and I think a lot of people see it as a sign spring is here and it’s time to get out of the house.” A free event to the public, the Green Market offers handmade or homegrown items only including fresh produce,

pottery, wood work, repurposed furniture, jams, jellies, honey, food goodies, clothing, soaps, lotions, yard art, bird houses, home décor, jewelry and much more. Food concessions include hand dipped corn dogs, funnel cakes, fish sandwiches, kettle corn, boiled peanuts and much more. Local entertainment and fun events are often provided and admission to the museum is free. Season dates are May 2, June 6, July 11, September 5, October 3 and November 21. Wood noted unlike previous years there will not be a market in Au-

gust. “August has always been one of our least popular markets,” she said. “It’s just so hot on everyone.” Another change this year includes the Green Market’s partnership with Main Street Corinth. “The July Green Market will be held in conjunction with the Slugburger Festival,” added Wood. “We are really looking forward to teaming up with Main Street on this one. We’ve got some special events planned.” Vendor registration opened earlier this week, and seven vendors have already signed up for the

April market. “Vendors continue to be very important to the committee,” she said. “Without them, we would not be able to put on these markets.” Vendor setup fee is $20 per market or $100 for the entire season, not including the Christmas themed RED Green Market held in November. Deadline for sign up is the Thursday prior to market. All products sold must be handcrafted or grown by the applicant.

New date scheduled for annual Mardi Gras party BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

‘Laissez les bon temps rouler’ PICKWICK, Tenn. — The good times will roll as guests in whimsical masks, costumes, boas and beads descend on Pickwick for the 6th annual Mardi Gras bash. “It is the Pickwick party of the year,” said Micki Greer, who served as the events chairman for five years. Originally slated for Fat Tuesday, the party was rescheduled due to winter weather and will now be held at 6 p.m. on Friday, March 20 at Freddy T’s Beach Club. Tickets for the party are $40 per person in advance or $50 at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased at Crye Leike, Eclectic Spaces, Central Bank, Murry’s Discount Liquor Store and SunTrust Bank in Savannah, Tenn. The festivities will kick-off with cocktails at 6 p.m. followed by a “put your money where your mouth is” karaoke challenge. “Those who don’t wish to sing should bring their checkbooks,” said Rotary Member Pam Goese. Continuing the experience, a Cajun dinner will also be served with plenty of red beans and rice, gumbo, shrimp and grits. Hosted by the Pickwick Landing Rotary Club, proceeds from the charity event will benefit the District 3 Fire Department. According to Fire Chief Richard Childers, anything raised goes right

said the photographer, who wished to thank David Woods for opening up Freddy T’s as the venue for the private fundraising event. Describing the Pickwick lifestyle as laid back and relaxed, Bradley described the dress as being reflective of the care-free attitude which encourages everyone to come as they are without judgment. “The attire ranges from a simple mask to elaborate sequined costumes, jewelry, makeup and hats,” said the Franklin

Courtyard owner. “If you haven’t heard the band, Magi, you should make and effort to come out and hear them perform,” she added. “They are a fabulous band with no downtime and their dance floor always stays full.” Magi will perform at 7:30 p.m. A live auction is slated for later in the evening.

Our View

We need to show interest in special congressional election The general population and the national media follow every move of President Barack Obama and the bickering between our nation’s leader and Democrat vs. Republican leaders. There is also much political discussion and interest across the country about who will run for president with scores of names being mentioned, including Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush. But folks in the Crossroads area and across Northeast Mississippi need to turn their attention to something far more important on the local political scene. Our voice in Washington, D.C. is up for grabs. The 1st District congressional seat has been vacant since Feb. 6, when Republican U.S. Congressman Alan Nunnelee died of brain cancer. Nunnelee served 15 years in the state Senate before he unseated Democratic U.S. Congressman Travis Childers in 2010. The 1st District includes much of North Mississippi and all of Northeast Mississippi, including Alcorn County. The nonpartisan special election is set for May 12. If a runoff is needed, it will be June 2. Candidates so far are state Sen. Nancy Collins of Tupelo, District Attorney Trent Kelly of Saltillo and attorney Quentin Whitwell of Oxford, who previously served on the Jackson City Council. State Rep. Chris Brown of Aberdeen said recently he would run, but later announced he’s out of the race because his father is retiring and he needs to spend more time with the family’s business. Collins, 67, was elected to the state Senate in a 2011 special election to succeed Nunnelee. She was founding president of Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo. Kelly, 48, is in his first term as district attorney for Lee, Pontotoc, Alcorn, Monroe, Itawamba, Prentiss and Tishomingo counties. He is an Iraq war veteran and has served 29 years in the Mississippi Army National Guard. Whitwell, 42, is an attorney and businessman who served on the Jackson City Council from February 2011 to October 2014, before moving his family back to Oxford. More candidates are expected to seek the position. March 27 is the deadline to qualify. We need to follow who is seeking this position and become educated on who these people are and find out what they stand for. Historically, special elections gain very little interest and have low voter turnouts. But quite frankly, there is nothing more important going on in our nation’s capitol than who we send there to represent us.

A shameful climate witch hunt Let the climate inquisition begin. The ranking Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, Raul Grijalva of Arizona, has written to seven universities about seven researchers who harbor impure thoughts about climate change. One of the targets is Steven Hayward, an author and academic now at Pepperdine University. As Hayward puts it, the spirit of the inquiry is, “Are you now or have you ever been a climate skeptic?” Grijalva’s letters were prompted by the revelation that Wei-Hock Soon, a scientist at the HarvardSmithsonian Center for Astrophysics and a skeptic, didn’t adequately disclose support for his research from energy interests. Soon’s lapse aside, the assumption of Grijalva’s fishing expedition is that anyone who questions global-warming orthodoxy is a greedy tool of Big Oil and must be harried in the name of planetary justice and survival. Science as an enterprise usually doesn’t need political enforcers. But proponents of a climate alarmism demanding immediate action to avert worldwide catastrophe won’t and can’t simply let the science speak

Help me to so live, that I may not follow into hopeless days, but look for the bright and beautiful in to-morrow. Forgive me for all that I have asked for and accepted through willful judgment, and make me more careful in selecting my needs. Amen.

A verse to share I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. — 2 Timothy 4:7

It can’t be Apocalypse 100 Years From Now; it has to be Apocalypse Now. Eager to blame the ongoing California drought on climate change, John Holdren, President Barack Obama’s science czar, challenged Pielke on droughts, citing various research showing that they may be getting worse. But the bible of the climate “consensus,” the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, says that “there is not enough evidence at present to suggest more than low confidence in a global-scale observed trend in drought or dryness (lack of rainfall) since the middle of the 20th century.” Even Holdren’s long written response to Pielke is full of stipulations of uncertainty. To move a political debate this simply is not good enough. It is impossible to scare people with a long list of methodological imponderables and projections showing far-off harms, should the modeling hold up over eight decades. The imperative is to show that, in Holdren’s words, “climate change is an urgent public health, safety, national security, and environmental imperative” (emphasis added). It has to be counted a

small victory in this project that Pielke will no longer be an obstacle. Citing his harassment, Pielke has sworn off academic work on climate issues. And so the alarmists have hounded a serious researcher out of the climate business. All hail science! The other day, the head of the IPCC, Rajendra Pachauri, quit amid a sexual-harassment scandal and noted in his letter of resignation: “For me the protection of Planet Earth, the survival of all species and sustainability of our ecosystems is more than a mission. It is my religion.” Is it too much to ask that the man in charge of a project supposedly marshaling the best scientific evidence for the objective consideration of a highly complex and contested phenomenon not feel that he has a religious commitment to a certain outcome? Why, yes it is. The kind of people who run inquisitions may lack for perspective and careful respect for the facts and evidence. But they never lack for zeal.

for itself. In fact, for people who claim to champion science, they have the Rich least scienLowry tific temperament imagNational Review inable. Their attitude owes more to Trofim Lysenko, the high priest of the Soviet Union’s politicized science, than, say, to Gregor Mendel, the founder of modern genetics whose work was shunned by Lysenko for ideological reasons. Consider the plight of Roger Pielke Jr. of the University of Colorado, Boulder, who has done work on extreme weather. He, too, is on the receiving end of one of Grijalva’s letters. At first blush, Pielke seems a most unlikely target. It’s not that he doubts climate change or that it could be harmful. His offense is merely pointing to data showing that extreme weather events like hurricanes, tornadoes and droughts haven’t yet been affected by climate change, and this is enough to enrage advocates who need immediate disasters as a handy political cudgel.

If the sadists of ISIS are seeking — with their mass executions, child rapes, immolations, and beheadings of Christians — to stampede us into a new war in the Middle East, they are succeeding. “Nearly three-quarters of Republicans now favor sending ground troops into combat against the Islamic State,” says a CBS News poll. The poll was cited in a New York Times story about how the voice of the hawk is ascendant again in the GOP. In April or May 2015, said a Pentagon briefer last week, the Iraqi Army will march north to recapture Mosul from the Islamic State. On to Mosul! On to Raqqa! Yet, who, exactly, will be taking Mosul? According to Rowan Scarborough of The Washington Times, the U.S. general who trained the Iraqi army says Mosul is a mined, boobytrapped city, infested with thousands of suicide fighters. Any Iraqi army attack this spring would be “doomed.” Translation: Either U.S. troops lead, or Mosul remains in ISIS’ hands. Yet taking Mosul is only the beginning. Scores of thousands of troops will be needed to defeat and destroy ISIS in Syria. And eradicating ISIS is but the first of the wars Republicans have in mind.

This coming week, at the invitation of Speaker John Boehner, Bibi Netanyahu will a Pat address Buchanan joint session of Congress. Columnist His message: Obama and John Kerry are bringing back a rotten deal that will ensure Iran acquires nuclear weapons and becomes an existential threat to Israel. Congress must repudiate Obama’s deal, impose new sanctions on Iran and terminate the appeasement talks. Should Bibi and his Republican allies succeed in closing the ramp to a diplomatic solution, we will be on the road to war. Which is where Bibi wants us. To him, Iran is the Nazi Germany of the 21st century, hell-bent on a new Holocaust. A U.S. war that does to the Ayatollah’s Iran what a U.S. war did to Hitler’s Germany would put Bibi in the history books as the Israeli Churchill. But if Republicans scuttle the Iranian negotiations by voting new sanctions, Iran will take back the concessions it has made, and we are indeed headed for war. In 2010, Sen. Lindsey Graham declared: “In-

stead of a surgical strike on [Iran’s] nuclear infrastructure ... we’re to the point now that you have to really neuter the regime’s ability to wage war against us and our allies. ... [We must] destroy the ability of the regime to strike back.” Today, the entire Shiite Crescent — Iran, Iraq, Bashar Assad’s Syria, Hezbollah — is fighting ISIS. All these Shiites are de facto allies in any war against ISIS. But should we attack Iran, they will become enemies. And what would war with Iran mean for U.S. interests? With its anti-ship missiles and hundreds of missile boats, Iran could imperil our fleet in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea. The Gulf could be closed to commercial shipping by a sinking or two. Hezbollah could go after the U.S. embassy in Beirut. The Green Zone in Baghdad could come under attack by Shiite militia loyal to Iran. Would Assad’s army join Iran’s fight against America? It surely would if America listened to those Republicans who now say we must bring down Assad to convince Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Arabs to join the fight against ISIS. By clashing with Iran, we would make enemies of Damascus and Baghdad and the Shiite militias in Iraq and Beirut battling ISIS today –

in the hope that, tomorrow, the conscientious objectors of the Sunni world — Turks, Saudis, Gulf Arabs — might come and fight beside us. Listen for long to GOP foreign policy voices, and you can hear calls for war on ISIS, al-Qaida, Boko Haram, the Houthi rebels, the Assad regime, the Islamic Republic of Iran, to name but a few. Are we to fight them all? How many U.S. troops will be needed? How long will all these wars take? What will the Middle East look like after we crush them all? Who will fill the vacuum if we go? Or must we stay forever? Nor does this exhaust the GOP war menu. Enraged by Vladimir Putin’s defiance, Republicans are calling for U.S. weapons, trainers and troops to be sent to Ukraine and Moldova. Says John Bolton, himself looking at a presidential run, “Most of the Republican candidates or prospective candidates are heading in the right direction; there’s one who’s headed in the wrong direction.” That would be Rand Paul, who prefers “Arab boots on the ground.” (Daily Corinthian columnist Pat Buchanan is an American conservative political commentator, author, syndicated columnist, politician and broadcaster.)

Stolen NASCAR car located in Atlanta HAMPTON, Ga. — The No. 44 race car returned to its NASCAR shop in North Carolina on Saturday after it was recovered along a remote road in suburban Atlanta, apparently abandoned by the thieves who stole it from a hotel parking lot. While the discovery didn’t occur in nearly enough time for Team XTREME to compete in this weekend’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, it was a huge boost for the small-budget operation in its bid to make the next event at Las Vegas. “There was no damage whatsoever,” team owner John Cohen told The Associated Press. “Nothing was taken off the car. Even the antennas that went to the radio were still in the seats.” Police in Gwinnett County northeast of Atlanta received a suspicious vehicle call at approximately 2:30 a.m. Saturday, nearly 24 hours after the race car was stolen, said Jeffery Richter, the public information officer. A motorist spotted the No. 44 machine along a darkened road and quickly realized it must be the stolen race car. Cohen was called to the scene, confirmed it was his $250,000 race car off the shoulder of the road, and called a tow truck to take it back to their shop in suburban Charlotte.

Lake is Lower 48’s only ice jet runway ALTON, N.H. (AP) — Winter on New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee means ice fishing, hockey tournaments and, if the ice is strong enough, airplanes. After being grounded by bad ice and worse weather for most of the winter, the Alton Bay Seaplane Base and its ice runway are open. Dozens of pilots from all over the Northeast took advantage of a rare, sunny, storm-free Saturday to touch down on the frozen lake, the only ice runway in the lower 48 states approved by the Federal Aviation Administration. “How many times can a non-amphibian plane land on water?” asked pilot Ken Ortmann of Rochester, New Hampshire. Another pilot, Angela Leedy, flew three hours from Pittstown, New

Jersey, to try out the runway. The 3,000-foot airstrip is popular with pilots, said airport director Paul LaRochelle, who keeps it plowed when the ice is strong enough. As he directs pilots to park he advises them not to use their brakes: “You’ll just skid,” he said.

GOP heads struggle to control Congress WASHINGTON — Two months into full Republican control of Congress, GOP leaders are struggling to demonstrate they really are in charge. The stunning House defeat Friday of a three-week spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security exposed Speaker John Boehner’s weakness in the face of rebellious conservatives. It also again demonstrated his need to rely on Democrats at critical moments as the minority party’s agreement to a one-week spending bill helped the speaker get it over the finish line with only hours to spare before a threatened agency shutdown. President Barack Obama signed the bill shortly before midnight. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., already had bowed to Democrats’ demands and stripped the contentious provisions rolling back Obama’s immigration policies from his chamber’s version of the Homeland Security spending bill. The two leaders face different, and often competing, challenges as they try to produce the responsible governance they promised voters after November elections, when Republicans won control of the Senate and increased their House majority to the largest in 70 years.

Dems: Homeland strategy a blunder WASHINGTON — Democrats are losing some skirmishes over the Department of Homeland Security, but many feel they are winning a political war that will haunt Republicans in 2016 and beyond. Democrats lacked the votes Friday to force Republicans to fund the department for a year with no strings. Still, even some Republicans say party leaders are on a perilous path with a very public ideological struggle only highlight-

ing the GOP’s inability to pass contested legislation and possibly worsening its weak relationship with Hispanic voters. Worst of all, numerous lawmakers said, Republican leaders have offered no plausible scenario for a successful ending, so they simply are delaying an almost certain and embarrassing defeat. Conservatives defend their doggedness. They say they courageously are keeping promises to oppose President Barack Obama’s liberalization of deportation policies, which they consider unconstitutional. Several said their constituents support their stand, while others said the issue transcends politics. As a deadline fast approached Friday night, the House agreed to extend the department’s funding for a week. But some in both parties said the Republicans were losing political ground.

Health form errors add hassle to taxes WASHINGTON — It’s not uncommon to feel some trepidation around tax-filing season. But there’s an added hassle this year for nearly a million consumers who got financial help with health insurance premiums under President Barack Obama’s law. The government sent consumers erroneous information on forms that they need to complete their 2014 tax returns. Now these people are getting robocalls and emails advising them to delay filing until the mistakes are fixed. “It’s been a comedy of errors from the start,” said K.C. Crafts, a freelance financial writer from South Berwick, Maine. The mistake the government made affected 800,000 customers receiving subsidized health coverage through the federal insurance market. Some states running their own insurance exchanges also have had tax-form troubles. In the federal case, 2015 premiums were substituted for what should have been 2014 numbers on new tax forms called 1095-As. Those forms are like W-2s for people who got subsidized health insurance — building blocks for filing an accurate tax return.

State seeks to hire 50 prison guards JACKSON — The Mississippi Department of Corrections seeks to hire 50 new correctional officers for the prison in Leakesvile. Interviews will be held Saturday, March 7, at the South Mississippi Correctional Institution starting at 8:30 a.m. Starting pay is $1,833.80 per month. Correctional Officer Trainees are responsible for the supervision, care, custody, and control of inmates in a correctional institution or facility. An applicant must be 18 years old, provide proof of a high school diploma or G.E.D., possess a valid driver’s license and Social Security card and have no felony or domestic violence conviction. Applicants also must complete a math quiz, a written report, a physical agility exercise and a drug test.

Appeals to be heard in death of deputy JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court will hear an appeal from Franklin Fitzpatrick, who was convicted of capital murder in the 2010 fatal shooting of a Tippah County sheriff’s deputy. Fitzpatrick, now 30, was convicted in 2013 and was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Fitzpatrick, who was on parole for two cocaine sale convictions at the time of the murder, was tried as a habitual offender. Prosecutors say Dep-

uty Dewayne Crenshaw was killed while responding to a disturbance call on Dec. 3, 2010. Prosecutors say Crenshaw was shot with his service pistol while he and another deputy were grappling with Fitzpatrick.

Inmate’s appeal set in rape conviction JACKSON — Attorneys for death row inmate Charles Ray Crawford will argue before the Mississippi Supreme Court March 23 that the man’s 1994 rape conviction should be tossed out because he received poor legal representation at his trial. The result of the appeal could mean the difference between life and death for Crawford. Crawford, now 49, is on death row for the 1992 slaying of Kristy Ray in the Chalybeate community in Tippah County. Crawford argues he received ineffective counsel to defend himself against the rape charges, which were used by prosecutors to seek the death penalty. Few details of the rape conviction are discussed in earlier briefs in the death penalty case. The Supreme Court refused in December to throw out Crawford’s appeal of his 1994 rape conviction. Prosecutors had argued in requesting the dismissal that Crawford got a fair trial and that if there was any error, it was Crawford’s for waiting 20 years to file an appeal. Glenn Swartzfager, Crawford’s lawyer, has argued there were nu-

merous errors in Crawford’s rape trial including poor performance by the defense, prosecutorial misconduct, and questionable rulings and jury instructions from the trial judge. “A more error-ridden case may never have come before this court,” Swartzfager wrote in the brief to the Supreme Court.

Aldermen reject bids for depot renovation NATCHEZ — Plans for the renovation of the downtown railroad depot in Natchez are at a standstill. The Natchez Board of Alderman rejected five base bids for renovation projects Tuesday, citing all bids were too high. The lowest bid was $1.19 million and the highest $1.78 million. The Natchez Democrat reports James Johnston, Natchez community development director, along with Mayor Butch Brown and consulting engineer Sharpie Smith are working to draft a new bid to advertise within the next six weeks. In an effort to cut costs, Smith said the bid will be redrafted to include three phases, which are to be determined. Johnston said the depot needs extensive roofing renovations, new electrical installations, updated plumbing and general interior and exterior updates. Once a bid is accepted, Smith estimates the project would take 240 days to complete — hopefully in time for the city’s tricentennial.

Deaths

In the road of life, you are the driver In life, you are the driver, not a passenger. You are ultimately in charge of the route you travel. The decisions you make or don’t make impact your journey. As the driver, you have to deal with other traffic, road conditions and weather. Bryan You have Golden to be aware of Dare to Live is Without Limits what going on around you at all times. For safe travel, you make whatever adjustments are needed when needed. All you have control over are your actions. Your life is your responsibility. Blaming other people or circumstances has the same impact as letting go of the steering wheel; you will run off the road and crash. You may possibly get lost on your journey. If this happens, you need to ask directions or look at a map. Waiting for the situation to improve on its own is useless. Getting back on track re-

quires deliberate action on your part. When a road is closed or blocked, you have to take an unplanned detour. Doing so is necessary in order to reach your objective. When faced with a detour, you don’t give up, get out of your car, and lie down on the side of the road. Instead, you follow the alternate route to your destination. Suppose after arriving at your destination you decide it’s not what you expected or not what you wanted. Remaining there would be foolish. It makes more sense to go someplace else. It doesn’t matter how long or arduous a journey you took. If you are not happy where you have wound up, find a more desirable destination and go there. It’s nice when everything works out exactly as planned. But your trip can take longer than expected. Traffic, detours, getting lost, and the weather all add to your travel time. It’s easy to become impatient. The problems you have to deal with are frustration inducing. Expending more effort than antici-

pated is not unusual. Every successful trip requires patience as you deal with obstacles as they occur. The longer the trip, the more challenges you will face. Being able to handle whatever situations arise is essential in order to reach your destination. Long trips require preparation. Your destination should be known. The route must be planned. Your car needs to be in good working condition. Your bags have to be packed and loaded into the car. Similarly in life, having the skills, knowledge, and ability necessary to reach your destination enhances your ability to reach it. Preparation greatly increases your capacity to succeed. Developing good driving skills requires practice. Do you remember how awkward it felt to be behind the wheel of a car for the first time? The more you drive, the better you become. Practice is key to improving. You want to practice driving under any conditions you may encounter. Urban driving requires a different skill set than

country driving. In order to prepare for driving in snow you have to drive in snow. The same requirements hold true for driving in the rain or at night. Restricting your driving to ideal conditions leaves you unprepared to handle the unexpected. Life is no different than driving a car. In both situations, you are responsible for the direction you are headed. The decisions you make determine your experience and impact your ability to reach your destination. Decide where you want to go. Determine the best way to get there. Prepare for your journey. Get started. You are responsible for where you are now. If you are not happy with your current situation, it’s up to you to change direction. Take the wheel and get going to wherever you would like to be.

All statewide officials challenged in election Associated Press

JACKSON — Each of the eight statewide elected officials in Mississippi has at least one challenger this year, although some of the newcomers might run low-budget campaigns. Just before candidates’ qualifying deadline Friday, a teacher who describes herself as not having “a fancy pedigree or a lot of money” signed up to run against first-term Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves in the Republican primary. Alisha Nelson McElhenney, who lives in Moss Point and teaches in Alabama, originally filed Thursday to run for a state Senate seat held by Republican Michael Watson of Pascagoula. There had been wide-

spread speculation that Watson would become a tea party-allied candidate to challenge Reeves in the GOP primary for lieutenant governor. Instead, Watson qualified Thursday to seek a third term in the Senate. After that, McElhenney switched to the lieutenant governor’s race Friday. “Let’s stop Common Core. Let’s phase out our state income tax,” McElhenney said in a news release Friday. Reeves, who served two terms as state treasurer before he was elected lieutenant governor four years ago, has about $2.4 million in his campaign fund. This is McElhenney’s first run for office, and she has not filed a campaign finance report.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. â€” At a taco shop in Southern California, milkshakes are served in mason jars and a chalkboard menu lists â€œThe 1%erâ€? made with lobster meat. The logo is a pink skull and instead of buzzers, customers are given license plates so servers can identify them when bringing out orders. Nowhere is it evident that the U.S. Taco Co. is an outpost of a chain better known for cheesy gut bombs: Taco Bell. Major companies are testing whether it would pay to tuck away their world famous logos in favor of more hipster guises: PepsiCo, for instance, introduced a craft soda called Calebâ€™s last year and McDonaldâ€™s opened a cafe that lists lentils and eggplant on its menu. The stealth efforts reflect the pressures on the countryâ€™s biggest food makers, which are contending with the surging popularity of smaller brands that position themselves as decidedly less corporate. For big food companies, the low-key efforts are a way feel out changing tastes and cozy up to

new customers, particularly those in their 20s and 30s. Among that age group, marketing experts say thereâ€™s a growing preference for qualities like â€œrealâ€? and â€œauthentic.â€? Additionally, millennials arenâ€™t as impressed by big brands when it comes to food, and instead take pride in discovering and sharing new places and products with friends on social media networks. As such, Allen Adamson of Landor Associates, a brand consulting firm, said companies should keep the images for their latest efforts smaller and more niche: â€œYou donâ€™t want to scream from the mountain top that youâ€™re Pepsi.â€? Unlike Pepsi cola â€” which has suffered sales declines since 1998, according to Beverage Digest â€” PepsiCoâ€™s Calebâ€™s Kola comes in a glass bottle and is sweetened with cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup. There are no signs the drink is from the maker of Mountain Dew and Gatorade, and the bottles bear the words â€œHonor In Craft.â€? Nick Hammit, who heads Calebâ€™s Kola at PepsiCo, said Calebâ€™s was the creation of a group of â€œKola Nutsâ€? at the compa-

ny who were passionate about making a cola that â€œtakes pride in every little aspect.â€? McDonaldâ€™s also decided not to use its name recognition when it opened The Corner late last year. The restaurant in Australia has a minimalist white exterior and serves dishes like Moroccan roast chicken, chipotle pulled pork and lentil and eggplant salad. The only sign itâ€™s owned by McDonaldâ€™s is the â€œMcCafeâ€? in small print at the bottom of the restaurant logo. McDonaldâ€™s spokeswoman Becca Hary said in an email the location is a â€œlearning labâ€? for testing â€œnew and different food and beverages never before seen in our restaurants.â€? The Corner comes as McDonaldâ€™s suffers ongoing sales struggles, with global sales down 1 percent last year at established locations as customer visits declined in regions around the world. For its part, Taco Bell said in an emailed statement that U.S. Tacoâ€™s opening was the result of a â€œsegmentation studyâ€? that found some people just donâ€™t want to eat at traditional fast-food chains. So instead of trying to

win them over with Taco Bell, a team known as â€œintrapreneursâ€? at the company came up with an entirely separate concept, which charges about $3 to $4 per taco. The shop in Huntington Beach, California caught the attention of Christina Kaoh, a 30-year-old research coordinator who was in the area paddle boarding with friends. â€œI figured itâ€™s going to be a hip version of tacos,â€? Kaoh said. She only learned it was owned by Taco Bell after reading an article that mentioned the link in Mother Jones. Kaoh said she wouldnâ€™t go back since she tries to support independent establishments, and didnâ€™t particularly enjoy the food. The ownership of smaller brands by major corporations isnâ€™t a deal breaker, of course. In the beer industry, AnheuserBusch InBev in 2006 created Shock Top. Harry Schuhmacher, editor of Beer Business Daily, said most people probably donâ€™t realize itâ€™s owned by the maker of Bud Light. Even if they did, he said it wouldnâ€™t matter now that Shock Top is established enough to have its own following.

GOP leader questions GM plant incentives BY ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. â€” State Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey said Thursday that it may have been â€œa mistakeâ€? for Tennessee to subsidize the development of the General Motors plant outside Nashville because it has a United Auto Workers union contract. The Blountville Republicanâ€™s comments came as GOP lawmakers weighing a $166 million incentive package for Volkswagen expansion in Chattanooga seek assurances that the German automaker will remain neutral on labor issues among its workers. Republican lawmakers have grumbled about the United Auto Workers unionâ€™s ongoing role at the plant, and Ramsey pointed to the thriving Nissan plant in Smyrna as an example of the benefits of nonunion auto production compared with the GM plant that begun its life making Saturns. â€œMaybe we made a mistake years ago with the things we did for Saturn, because itâ€™s been up and down, closed and open,

Timing is Everything Your Life doesnâ€™t get better by chance it gets better by change and planning for the future. /:0 Come in for your complimentary ďŹ nancial review at our new location:

and yet Nissan is booming right now,â€? Ramsey said. The GM plant in Spring Hill produced more than 3.7 million vehicles between 1990 and 2007. At its peak, the facility employed nearly 8,000 workers. But that number had dwindled to about 630 by 2009, when auto assembly was idled during the Great Recession. Production was restarted following a 2011 contract agreement with the UAW that included salary concessions for entry-level workers and an agreement to bring jobs to Spring Hill that would have otherwise gone to Mexico. The plant now employs about 1,700 hourly workers. GM announced earlier this month that under the 2011 contract, each worker will receive $9,000 in profit sharing. The Nissan plant in Smyrna has added about 4,500 jobs since 2011, bringing its total to 8,400 employees. The plant made 648,000 vehicles last year. Mike Herron, the chairman of UAW Local 1853 in Spring Hill, said organized labor has played â€œa critical roleâ€? in developing the auto industry in Tennessee. The UAW estimates that all but 2,000 positions at Nissan are filled by temporary employees, while all of the blue-collar jobs at GM have permanent status and benefits. â€œThese jobs give people the opportunity to be part of the middle class,â€? Herron said. â€œIf you really take a look at some of the stuff happening at Nissan, do we really want â€” in the state of Tennessee â€” that to be held up as our pinnacle of success?â€? Nissan declines to divulge how many of its workers are permanent employees. The UAW narrowly lost a unionization vote at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga last year, but the union has since qualified for a new labor policy at the plant that grants access to meeting space and to regular discussions with management. The policy stops short of collective bargaining rights.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Celebrate spring with Crossroads Magazine Spring Edition coming in the March 28 edition of the Daily Corinthian.

A house is worth having only if it feels like home DEAR ABBY: I am 23 and my husband is 27. We’ve been married for two years. Since our wedding, I have felt an overwhelming amount of pressure to “settle down and buy a house.” One friend’s boyfriend recently bought a house. She lives with him. Every time we get together she brags about how important it is to buy a house and not “waste money” by renting an apartment. My husband and I are happy renting because it allows us the money to travel and experience life together. The thought of being tied down to a mortgage at 23 years old for the next 30 years doesn’t sit well with me. I am new in my career and have no idea where it may take me. I understand that buying a house is a good investment. I often feel as if we are the “minority,” as it seems everyone is rushing to settle down, have children, buy a house, etc. Is it wrong that we would rather wait, enjoy ourselves traveling and doing what we like to do, and then follow the status quo and sign a mortgage that will tie us down for the next 30 years? -- FEELING PRESSURED IN MARYLAND

D E A R P R E S S U R E D : Have you ever heard the saying, “Different strokes Abigail for different Van Buren folks”? You appear to be Dear Abby pressuring yourself as a result of your friend’s bragging. Whether or not to buy a home is a personal decision, and one that can vary from couple to couple (or person to person). You do not need to “keep up with the Joneses” or do anything you don’t feel ready for. A house is more than a roof over one’s head. It can also be a reservoir of money that accrues as equity. If you’re afraid that if you buy a home you will be trapped for 30 years, think again. People have been known to change homes several times in a lifetime. However, because you and your husband would prefer to take your time and wait to buy until you’re more established in your careers, then that’s what you should do. DEAR ABBY: I am a cat per-

son. I’m not particularly fond of dogs, especially when they jump on you, try to lick you or sit in your lap, etc. This is regardless of the breed or size. My question is, when visiting someone who has a dog that behaves like this, what should I do? It makes me really uncomfortable, and sometimes I don’t even want to visit someone’s home if I know I’m going to be slobbered on or have my clothes soiled or damaged by their dogs. -- UNCOMFORTABLE CAT PERSON DEAR UNCOMFORTABLE: A way to ensure it won’t happen would be to talk to the dog owner in advance, explain that it makes you very uncomfortable when animals do this and ask that the dog be kept in another room while you’re there. But if you are looking for a guarantee, ask the person you want to visit with to come to your home or to meet you in a petfree place. 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). A predisposition is not the same thing as a predetermination. Today, an optimistic point of view will help you land in a better place than many of your friends and relatives. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re in the mood to take the initiative. Unsolicited encouragement is a much better gift than unsolicited advice, which pretty much no one will like today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Generally speaking, you’ve been too hard on yourself and it’s time to let up. Today there is nothing good that comes of punishment. Sometimes the most active thing you can do is just relax. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll hear the song you’ve been singing and decide the sound is so “last year” that you no longer relate. New songs will be invented just as soon as you stop singing the old one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You

have an excellent sense of what’s worthwhile. A moment of happiness will be brief and nonetheless so completely full that it’s certainly worth all of the efforts and anticipation you endured to get to it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know that the world existed before you and will go on after you, but you still feel that, somehow, it’s yours to win right now. You’re right about that. This is your time. Seize the day. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The pang of someone pulling on your heart strings will remind you where you left your heart and/or whom you gave it to. How fragile your heart can seem in someone else’s hands. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everything works out better when you keep it simple. Instead of worrying about tomorrow and the next day, do today’s work and trust that the rest will come together. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). Better to be open-minded and let yourself wonder than to land prematurely on a belief that prevents you from exploring your curiosities and all of the different options. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are traits your loved one possesses that annoy you but are inconsequential in the long run. The graceful way is to distinguish those traits from the true problems and overlook them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want to know what another person knows, but you don’t want to see things as this person does. Through your skillful questioning and careful listening, you will learn much. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Let’s say your emotions are a kind of bank account. Someone close to you is making a withdrawal that’s much larger than is fair, agreed upon or allowed. There needs to be a deposit to offset this.

Warriors punch ticket to state BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Warriors were the lone local survivor on Saturday. While the Kossuth Lady Aggies will have to wait until Monday to decide their fate, Corinth returned to the State Tournament for the third time in four years with a 73-51 win at Rosa Fort on Saturday. Corinth (24-7) will open its 17th State Tournament on Friday at 4 p.m. against Newton County (18-12) at Jackson State University. Newton County knocked off Division

6 champion Florence by a count of 49-47. Byhalia, Gentry and New Albany are the other North teams in the bracket, and will play the same day against South foes. Corinth trailed by one point for two short periods, once in the first quarter and once in the second. The Warriors led by as many as 11 points in the opening half, at 34-23 on a Trae Burcham 3-pointer off a second-chance opportunity. CHS got 24 second-chance points off 23 rebounds and

were a plus-four on the glass on their end of the court. Antares Gwyn scored eight points in the first quarter as Corinth led 15-13 at the first horn. Rosa Fort (23-7) stayed in the game by getting to the line and making all eight tries in the opening eight minutes. Corinth avoided trouble when Kendall Stafford went to the bench after picking up his second foul with 7:33 left in the half. The Warriors would close the half on an 1810 advantage without their leading scorer and went to the break with a 34-25 lead.

The Warriors broke open the game with 11 straight points in the third, scoring on all five possessions. Gwyn, who had 24 points and 15 rebounds, scored six of those as the lead swelled to 20 at 4525. After Rosa Fort reeled off five straight points of its own, Stafford took over. The senior, who tallied 21, scored four straight points and finished with 12 of his team’s 22 in the quarter. Five Warriors accounted Please see WARRIORS | 11A

Trio exits one win short of Jackson BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The final day of February wasn’t kind to the Biggersville and Corinth girls, as well as, the Kossuth boys. The trio exited the state playoffs in the second round, one win shy of reaching the newly-formatted, eight-team State Tournament. The Lady Lions (18-13) dropped a heartbreaker to Ashland, falling 41-39 in the Class 1A Girls’ bracket. Biggersville fell behind 14-2 after one, but battled back. The two were tied at 33-all with just under three minutes left in the state qualifier. Camee Faulkner, who led all scorers with 17, came up with two huge buckets down the stretch to punch the Lady Devils’ ticket to the Capital City. Biggersville had the ball for a potential game-tying shot, but were left two points short of advancing. The Lady Lions cut the halftime deficit to 20-12 with Elly Nash supplying six of her team’s points on a perfect showing from the charity stripe. Six points by Nash and five by Jada Tubbs accounted for all of the host club’s points in the third. BHS took two more points of the Ashland lead to pull to within 29-23 heading to the final eight minutes. Faulker was the lone Lady Devil in double figures. Nash and Tubbs paced the Lady Lions with 14 points each. • At Holly Springs, Kossuth fell in a 23-7 hole after one period and never recovered in second-round Class 3A Boys’ play. The Aggies (18-14) pulled to within 3827 at the break and got to within seven at the 5:46 mark of the third before the Hawks (19-9) pushed out to a 19-point lead after three.

LSU completes sweep of Ole Miss The Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU guard Tim Quarterman only hoped his sore left ankle wouldn’t render him a defensive liability against Mississippi’s leading scorer, Stefan Moody. Quarterman did more than just hold up against Moody on Saturday. One day after twisting his ankle in practice, he turned in the first tripledouble by an LSU player since Shaquille O’Neal in 1992. Quarterman had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and LSU pulled into a fourthplace tie in the Southeastern Conference with a 73-63 victory over Ole Miss. “I’m surprised,” Quarterman said. “Just to be men-

tioned with Shaq — he’s a legend around here.” “It was just a special moment for me and my teammates. They celebrated more than me,” Quarterman added. “Everything happens for a reason. I don’t even know.” Moody finished with 15 points, but that was below the 20.1 points he’d averaged in his previous eight games and he hit only three of 16 shots, going 1-of-7 from 3-point range. “Of course, it’s frustrating,” Moody said. “At the end of the day it’s on all of us. It’s a team effort. We all just have to play better.” Quarterman is not the marquee player for LSU that O’Neal was — or that Jordan

Mickey is now — but that only made coach Johnny Jones more appreciative of what his hobbled guard’s performance meant at a time when the stakes are rising. “Anytime you’ve got guys like that, they’re winners and they step up,” Jones said. “He laid it on the line for his team and that’s what you need night in and night out. And if the guys around you know that, some good things can happen to you.” Jarell Martin added 18 points and Keith Hornsby 16 for the Tigers (21-8, 10-6 SEC), who won their third straight overall while sweeping the season series with Ole Miss. Mickey added 11 points —

all in the second half — and blocked four shots. Sebastian Saiz scored 11 for Ole Miss (19-10, 10-6), which came in with a school-record four straight road victories in SEC play. But the Rebels shot only 38.3 percent (23 of 60) and turned the ball over 17 times, leading to 15 LSU points. With stats like those, Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said, “The outcome is going to be pretty predictable.” “For us to turn it over 17 times against a team as athletic as LSU, they are going to score in transition,” added Kennedy, whose team has lost two straight for the first time Please see OLE MISS | 11A

Johnson’s career-best overpowers MSU The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — After 11 straight games of shooting 40 percent or less, South Carolina coach Frank Martin might have thrown up his hands and given up on the Southeastern Conference’s worst shooting team. But instead, he kept believing in them, and the Gamecocks (14-14, 5-11) finally found their touch in an 81-68 win over Mississippi State on Saturday night. South Carolina shot 46 percent and that was missing seven of its last eight field goals when the game was pretty much out of hand. It was a surprise for many for

a team that was shooting just 35 percent in SEC games. But it wasn’t for Martin. “What do you tell guys to get them to make shots? Tell them you believe in them,” Martin said. Mississippi State coach Rick Ray said his Bulldogs (12-17, 5-11) also helped with some poor defense. “They were uncontested shots. We didn’t do a good job of contesting shots,” Ray said. Perhaps no one benefited from Martin’s belief and the Bulldogs lack of defensive effort than South Carolina senior guard Tyrone Johnson. He scored a career-high

28 points on 7-of-10 shooting and made 13 of 15 free throws. “There were gaps wide open and I took them,” Johnson said. The Gamecocks led for the final 37 minutes of the game, but Mississippi State did cut its deficit to four with 17 minutes to go. Laimonas Chatkevicius then took over, scoring seven of the next eight points to put South Carolina ahead 52-38 with 15 minutes left. The Gamecocks would lead by at least nine the rest of the way. Chatkevicius tied a careerhigh with 18 points and had

nine rebounds for the Gamecocks. Mississippi State shot 47.8 percent, but turned the ball over five more times and had five fewer offensive rebounds. Craig Sword led the Bulldogs with 26 points. South Carolina climbed into 11th place in the SEC with the win. Both teams still need at least one more win in their last two games to have a chance to avoid playing in the first day of the five-day SEC tournament since the league expanded to 14 teams in 2013. Ray isn’t ready to give that Please see MSU | 11A

goal up. The Bulldogs finish with ninth-place Vanderbilt and lastplace Missouri. And South Carolina thinks it can also make a late-season surge like in 2014 when the Gamecocks won four of their last six, including two SEC tournament games — the first wins in the league tournament in six seasons. “When we play like we did today — like we did early in the season — we can play with the best of them,” Johnson said. TIP-INS South Carolina: Thirdyear coach Frank Martin needs one more win in the last two SEC games to improve his win total each season with the Gamecocks ... South Carolina has not won more than five SEC games since 2010.

Mississippi State: The Bulldogs are 18-11 all-time against South Carolina. The only other SEC team they have a winning record over is Mississippi ... Five SEC wins are already the best for third-year Bulldogs coach Rick Ray. SWORD SLASHES Craig Sword’s 26 points were just one off his season high. And he impressed Martin. “God, is Craig Sword good,” Martin said, opening his news conference. “He may be the hardest guard in the league.” Sword’s coach also praised him. Rick Ray said he was the only Bulldog that really attacked the basket. UP NEXT Mississippi State travels to Vanderbilt on Wednesday South Carolina hosts No. 18 Arkansas on Thursday.

this season. “The reality is we didn’t play well today against a good LSU team. We need to flush it.” LSU pulled even with both Ole Miss and Georgia in the league standings. The top four seeds get a double-bye in the SEC tournament. The Tigers trailed by as many as 11 during a sloppy first half but pulled to 27-23 by halftime and took control after that. Early in the second half, Jalyn Patterson’s corner 3 gave LSU a 3129 lead. That was part of an 11-0 run, capped by Mickey’s first points of the game, which made it 36-29 with about 15 minutes left. Ole Miss briefly pulled to 44-40 before LSU strung together a 10-2 run that began with Quarterman’s threepoint play and ended with Hornsby’s 3. TIP-INS Mississippi: The Reb-

No. 1 Kentucky clinches SEC title The Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Andrew Harrison and Trey Lyles each scored 18 points, and top-ranked Kentucky rolled past No. 18 Arkansas 84-67 Saturday to clinch the Southeastern Conference regular-season title. The long-awaited marquee matchup of the SEC’s top two teams belonged to the undefeated Wildcats (29-0, 16-0) on both ends as they earned their 46th league title and halted a three-game losing streak against the Razorbacks (23-6, 12-4). Kentucky’s league-leading defense held the conference’s top scoring team to just 38 percent shooting and 12 points below its average. The Wildcats meanwhile shot 48 percent from the field and outrebounded the Razor-

backs 38-32, among other statistics, to extend their best-ever start. Tyler Ulis added 14 points and Devin Booker 10 for Kentucky, which led by as many as 31 with eight minutes left. Michael Qualls’ 17 points led four Arkansas players in double figures, but the Razorbacks couldn’t keep up after the early minutes. Bobby Portis added 15 points, Alandise Harris 12 and Rashad Madden 11, none of which mattered against a Kentucky squad that once again played its best against a ranked opponent. Then again, this game mattered a little more for the Wildcats. Besides facing perhaps their last major hurdle to an unbeaten regular season, they were also motivated to beat Ar-

kansas for just the second time in six meetings. The Wildcats succeeded by slowing down Arkansas and keeping its dangerous duo of 6-foot-11 Portis and 6-6 Qualls. Lyles, Willie Cauley-Stein (seven points, nine rebounds, four blocks) and KarlAnthony Towns (eight points, five rebounds) had a lot to do with that as Kentucky controlled the paint 40-24. Kentucky’s other objective was avoiding lapses that made Wednesday’s game at Mississippi State tight for a stretch before the Wildcats eventually took control for an 18-point win. The Wildcats quelled that concern from the start with a quick pace that knocked the Razorbacks on their heels. Lyles started things off with a

lob dunk from Towns, who followed with a putback basket. Aaron Harrison soon added a 3-pointer to get a sellout crowd into the game, and Kentucky had plenty more in an energetic if chippy first half by both teams. The teams combined for 22 fouls and 32 free throws and Kentucky made the most of its chances by making 15 of 20 from the line in building a 42-26 halftime lead. The Wildcats went to make 21 of 28 free throws. Arkansas went 0-for-9 from long range and shot 30 percent shooting overall along with outrebounding the Razorbacks 24-18 through 20 minutes. Few things got better as they made five 3-pointers that made a slight dent in their deficit.

Attitude is everything for cancer survivor BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

(Editor’s Note: This story appeared in the Crossroads Magazine - Medical Guide. This is a corrected version.) Six months or two years. Those were the two choices facing Eloise Mowers after she learned she had lung cancer. Mowers went with another option. The 62-year-old decided she was going to make it. She took on an attitude to defeat Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. “I was told I had six months without treatment or two years with treatment,” said the Hinkle woman. Mowers underwent 19 rounds of radiation then chemotherapy in her battle with the disease. “I would have done anything to live,” she said. “Whatever they told me I was going to do.” Mowers, a 39-year smoker, wasn’t feeling well in 2010. She thought she just had a round of bronchitis. “I had never been sick a day in my life,” said the cancer survivor. Four rounds of antibiotics still didn’t make her feel any better. Mowers, the mother of Frank and Emily, was diagnosed with having Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Her health still didn’t improve. “I went to work one day and still didn’t feel well,” she said. “I thought it was just the COPD.” Days of testing showed something else for the then 57-yearold. Mowers found out in August of 2010 she had Stage IV cancer. “It came on so fast,” she said. “It’s so terrifying when you hear the ‘C’ word.” Her thoughts turned to her children. Frank had just graduated college and Emily was going into her senior year at college. “I was more worried about them than myself,” said Mowers. Mowers was part of a chemical trial to be given the experimental drug Erbitux for a year. She also underwent three rounds of Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) – a treatment were doctors are guided by imaging techniques and insert a thin needle through the skin and into the tumor – to get rid of a spot. “I went almost two years were I had nothing then they found a spot,” said Mowers, who is married to Eddie – a cancer survivor himself. Mowers’ outlook on life has

changed since 2010. “I am more patient now,” she said. “In 2010, my thought was will I be around next Christ-

mas? … you can’t think that way.” Attitude is everything, according to the cancer survivor.

“You have to believe you are going to make it,” she said. A great support cast is also vital.

“I don’t know what I would have done without Eddie and the outpour of love from family and friends,” said Mowers. Mowers said she should have known something wasn’t right in 2010. “I should have known something was wrong,” said Mowers, who quit smoking cold turkey in June of 2010. “But I never thought it would be cancer.” Today, Mowers has to have a CAT scan every three months to make sure the cancer hasn’t returned. “She is a walking miracle,” said West Clinic Oncology Nurse Jerri Simpson. “Eloise is our poster child for lung cancer.” “She was our first research patient and now she is our pride and joy,” added West Clinic Oncology Nurse Penny Hare. Mowers said her physician, Dr. Sylvia Richey, is amazed how far she has come. “She calls me her miracle and I want to continue to be her miracle,” said Mowers. “Just one day at a time.”

Man who challenged power plant resists easy labels BY PAUL HAMPTON The Sun-Herald

HATTIESBURG — Thomas A. Blanton is a theologian. And a student of Jean Lafitte. An oilman. And an environmentalist. A rock ’n’ roll impresario twice over. And a protest singer with an unreleased album. A fan of Mark Twain. And Uncle Remus. A community organizer who can direct the distribution of thousands of campaign cards a day. And an unsuccessful candidate for the Public Service Commission. A strict constitutional constructionist. And a Democrat. A cancer survivor. And a professional hell-raiser. He resists labeling. You could say he is eclectic. Even his friends allow he’s a bit eccentric. With white hair flowing down his back, an eye lost to cancer and a beard gone wild, he’s the image of a pirate. But he says the only thing he’s interested in raiding is the corporate boardrooms of those interested in pocketing a fortune at the expense of the little guy, or the planet. He’s well known in south Mississippi as the

man who took on Mississippi Power and the state’s Republican political machine over the baseload act and subsequent rate increases for electricity meant to pay for the Kemper County power plant. “I was finishing school in ’77 — Harvard Divinity School — and got a degree, master’s of divinity. It’s a three-year professional degree,” he said. “I knew I wasn’t supposed to be a minister, but I felt called. And I just had this really powerful feeling I needed to move back to Mississippi.” During summers at Harvard, he worked for Massachusetts on environmental issues such as energy conservation, garbage burners and curbside recycling. “We let computers route the garbage trucks,” he said. “We saved 18 percent in one year. The same thing for school buses.” By the time he returned home, it was evident his calling was environmental activism. “Three weeks later, they announced Richton (salt domes) was going to be a nuclear dump,” he said. “Spontaneously, all these different people began having meetings. Several

“Whether he was talking to scientists about radionuclides leaking from salt stock or addressing a botanical society, he has a core of unassailable scientific knowledge and dogged persistence. And he was doing it all out of his back pocket.” Stan Flint The Consulting Group hundred here in Hattiesburg and on the Coast a thousand. Everybody rose up.” Among those rising up was Stan Flint, who runs The Consulting Group in Jackson, which lobbies on a variety of issues before the Legislature. “(Blanton) has carried that fire-in-the-belly commitment to the little guy, commitment to true democracy, commitment to participation in true democracy,” Flint said. “He’s always been on the side of what’s right. He sometimes does it a little more eccentrically than the others might do it but it’s because of people like Tommy, who delayed their lives for 12 years to do something about a proposal that became universally hated in the

state. And for good reason, because it was a really bad idea.” Flint said Blanton’s background in the oil business, which he got into in the late 1970s, was priceless to the cause of stopping a plan to store radioactive waste in the state’s underground salt domes. “Whether he was talking to scientists about radionuclides leaking from salt stock or addressing a botanical society,” he said, “he has a core of unassailable scientific knowledge and dogged persistence. “And he was doing it all out of his back pocket.” Tenacity seems to come naturally. In the early ‘70s as an undergraduate, he brought big-name rock acts to the University of

Mississippi, including Steven Stills and Manassas, an act so big the Ole Miss brass was afraid the electrical system couldn’t bear the load. So, Blanton and his cohorts on the student concert committee rented two generators. He said the show made $50,000. He took on the powers that be again and again. He fought to keep a bargeful of garbage from the East Coast off 16th Section school land in Stone County. He helped reject a plan to put 2,000 pig farms in the state and he lost a battle against “desnagging” or clearing Okatoma Creek. All the while, he was building his oil holdings. He said one of his early partners, Charlie Meeks, called him “one of the great ones” for his ability to find oil and gas. He said he was doing horizontal drilling in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale, a sedimentary rock formation containing oil that stretches from Mississippi across Louisiana, in 1992. “I’ve always been out front,” he said. “I like it there, where the air is clean and the big vista is.” But “a lot of times you get out there and you lose.” He said they lost $65

million in one exploration. “We try to keep the wells clean,” he said, explaining oil production and environmentalism needn’t be mutually exclusive. “You do the best you can and you clean up the rest.” Oil has given him the wherewithal to battle the power company all the way to the state Supreme Court, where earlier this month the court ruled the Public Service Commission shouldn’t have granted the rate increase and ordered millions of dollars returned to ratepayers. Mississippi Power has asked the court to reconsider. Mississippi Power declined to comment for this story, although its chief executive officer, Ed Holland, wrote in a recent editorial forum in The Sun-Herald: “Mississippi Power has worked hard to make sure our customers pay the minimum increase for the costs of the Kemper facility.” Blanton doesn’t think the energy company has much of a case. “I don’t have this great sense of victory, of vindication,” he said. “It’s been a long row to hoe and it’s not over yet.”

Over the course of their lifetimes, many people will be wedding guests on several occasions. During the height of wedding season, weddings can run into one another, as the format and festivities are similar at the ceremonies. Who hasnâ€™t attended a wedding that seems formulaic? The couple enters, they do their spotlight dance, thereâ€™s food, a bouquet toss and then the cake cutting. While it is often customary and easy to follow tradition, that doesnâ€™t mean you cannot buck with tradition and offer a few creative ideas to make your event stand out. Here are several ideas you can introduce into your wedding to add something special to the reception. â€˘ Skip the big entrance. Those who were kind enough to attend the ceremony have already been introduced to the newly minted happy couple. Instead of spending the cocktail hour in the isolation of the wedding suite, mingle with your guests from start to finish. â€˘ Dance to an upbeat number. Guests are expecting a slow, sappy tune. What they may not expect is an upbeat song that shows you are willing to have a little fun. If you havenâ€™t mastered the

waltz but enjoy a little quick step now and again, feel free to choose a tune that shows your love for each other. â€˘ Encourage couples to dance together. Itâ€™s often customary for the bridal party to join the bride and groom on the dance floor midway through the first dance. However, that leaves spouses or significant others waiting in the wings while their dates tango with groomsmen or bridesmaids. Encourage your bridal party members to dance with whomever they choose. â€˘ Swap the garter/ bouquet toss for something more meaningful. If youâ€™re part of a couple who feels the garter and bouquet toss has become trite, there are other ways to create special moments in your celebration. Use this time to present a small gift or token of your affection to someone on the guest list who has served as a source of inspiration. â€˘ Let them eat ... cookies? Some people just donâ€™t like cake. Therefore, why should a couple have to cut a seven-tiered white confection? Towers of different types of treats can be created from just about anything and serve as the perfect backdrop for that classic cake-cutting photo.

‘Pulp Fiction’ to Oscars: Travolta’s highs, lows BY JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer

NEW YORK — Since strutting onto the big screen in “Saturday Night Fever,” John Travolta has had a career marked by dramatic ups and downs, from comeback king to Internet meme. Travolta’s latest step back into the spotlight at Sunday’s Academy Awards was uneasy. He’s been widely pilloried for his touching of Idina Menzel’s face while he cooed “You, you my darling, my beautiful, my wickedly talented Idina Menzel.” “Apparently I played with her chin too much,” Travolta told Jimmy Kimmel about his reunion with Menzel. At the conclusion of the Oscars, host Neil Patrick Harris predicted Travolta (booked to redeem himself for his infamous mangling of Menzel’s name the year before) will be back at next year’s show to apologize again for “all the face

touching.” Images of Travolta kissing Scarlett Johansson in front of photographers on the red carpet also went viral, turning the star into a social media punch line. Johansson, however, defended Travolta in a statement to The Associated Press on Thursday, saying, “There is nothing at all strange, creepy or inappropriate about John Travolta” and called the photo “an unfortunate still-frame from a liveaction encounter that was very sweet and totally welcome.” The Oscar incidents come at a time when Travolta, 61, is prepping a handful of projects and ahead of the release of an explosive documentary on Scientology that focuses considerably on Travolta’s relationship with the organization. Should that upcoming film, “Going Clear,” go on to be Oscar nominated, it could again make Travolta a part of next year’s Acad-

Cryptoquip

emy Awards, albeit in a much different way. But Travolta has long navigated the ebb and flow of celebrity, relying on his charisma and a few good dance moves for numerous revivals. Here’s a look at his highs and lows: HIGH: Already known to TV viewers of “Welcome Back Kotter,” Travolta emphatically debuted as a leading man in the 1977 disco sensation “Saturday Night Fever.” He pronounced: “This is dancing, not that Fred Astaire thing. I just move and strut, and THAT’S DANCING!” He followed it up as Danny Zuko in 1978’s “Grease,” forever immortalizing his high voice and pomade-slicked hair. LOW: The 1980s weren’t nearly as good to Travolta as the ’70s. He worked consistently, but in a string of flops like “Perfect,” in which he played a Rolling Stone reporter, and “Two of a Kind,” which reteamed him with “Grease” co-

star Olivia Newton-John. Many of the films he turned down (like “American Gigolo”) were more successful than the films he chose to make. HIGH: Though the “Look Who’s Talking” comedies restored Travolta’s popularity, his resurrection was undoubtedly due to one man: Quentin Tarantino. The director sought out Travolta, even though Daniel Day-Lewis, fresh off his Oscar win for “My Left Foot,” reportedly wanted the part. Travolta’s performance as Vincent Vega earned him his second Oscar nomination and brought on a rush of work, including the acclaimed “Get Shorty.” LOW: The “Pulp Fiction” rejuvenation did not last long, though Travolta’s track record (“Michael,” ‘‘Face/Off,” ‘‘Primary Colors,” ‘‘A Civil Action”) was better in the late 1990s than it was in the ’80s. He even had a notable cameo in Ter-

directed by Jackie Earle Haley) and “In a Valley of Violence” (a Western costarring Ethan Hawke). Most intriguingly, he’s to play O.J. Simpson defense attorney Robert Shapiro in the upcoming FX series “American Crime Story” by Ryan Murphy (“Nip/ Tuck,” ‘‘American Horror Story”). LOW: Travolta’s recent years have been marred by tragedy, lawsuits and increased attention to his long-held religion. His son, Jett, died in 2009 of a seizure at age 16. In 2013, the Pulitzer Prizewinning author Lawrence Wright published “Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief,” a thoroughly researched expose of the Church of Scientology, that Travolta joined in the ’70s. The book and Gibney’s upcoming documentary, made with Wright, are critical of Travolta for being a public face to the controversial organization.

rence Malick’s “The Thin Red Line.” But in 2000, he starred in perhaps the biggest bomb of his career: “Battlefield Earth.” The futuristic science-fiction film was partly based on a novel by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It was made by independent production company Franchise Pictures (which was later convicted for inflating the budget to “Battlefield Earth” and went bankrupt), with Travolta putting up money of his own. It’s frequently ranked among the worst movies of the decade. HIGH: Travolta perhaps never recovered after “Battlefield Earth,” but he continued to co-star in big-budget releases that received mediocre reviews and did modest box office: “Swordfish,” ‘‘The Punisher,” ‘‘The Taking of Pelham 123.” More recently, Travolta has lined up several films: “The Forger” (a crime drama due out in April), “Criminal Activities” (a mob thriller

LAS VEGAS — Graceland will always be home, but Las Vegas is set to be Elvis Presley’s home away from home yet again. The King first played Vegas almost 59 years ago and spent months as a Sin City resident. Now, the Westgate Las Vegas hotel-casino will house a rotating display of Elvis memorabilia and artifacts rarely seen outside his famed Memphis, Tennessee, Graceland mansion. Feel like getting married? Graceland Vegas will include an Elvis Presley-sanctioned wedding chapel. Such chapels already dot the Las Vegas landscape and there’s been no scarcity of Elvis exhibits and shows, including a short-lived tribute by Cirque du Soleil in 2012. But organizers say this is the real deal. The exhibit — all 28,000 square feet — will be the largest Presley display outside Memphis. Here’s a look at some of the memorabilia and memories the exhibit will feature:

Pieces of Elvis Angie Marchese, Graceland’s director of ar-

See it “Graceland Presents Elvis: The Exhibition - The Show - The Experience” is slated to open April 23, with the exhibit costing $22; performances start at $49. chives, said the exhibit will be the largest Elvis exhibit outside Graceland. The clothing will come straight from Elvis’ closet in most cases. Blue Suede Shoes anyone? Among the items expected to be displayed: ■ A wooden sign larger than even Elvis. Parker paid for the 24-foot tall image of Elvis to advertise the singer’s first performances in Las Vegas in 1956 at the New Frontier, since demolished. ■ The tablecloth contract. To ink the $1 million a year contract to perform at The International, Parker and the hotel’s owner Kirk Kerkorian retreated to a nearby coffee shop, signing where there was no dotted line — on the tablecloth itself — complete with coffee cup stains. ■ A two-piece black tunic and single-button black suit. For his first performances at The International, Elvis wore two demure outfits — the

black tunic during the show and the black suit for the news conference afterward. Neither have felt the Las Vegas air since Elvis wore them July 31, 1969, she said.

Memories of the man “Those of us that lived it, Elvis never left the building,” said Dominic A. Parisi of the performer’s lingering presence. He won’t say how old he is, but he was old enough to ready Elvis’ rooms at the casino-hotel with meals (an early evening breakfast of well-done eggs, well-done toast, well-done bacon) and drinks, heavy on the bottled water, from 1972 to 1976 while Elvis performed there. Now director of the hotel’s room service and specialty restaurants, Parisi fondly recalled his encounters and talks with the King. “He loved the hotel. He loved Vegas,” he said. He loved chatting about everyday things — girls, cars and Las Vegas — Parisi said. Parisi said he sometimes goes up to the 30th floor to Elvis’ old suite, has a glass of wine and reminisces. “Hopefully he’s listening,” he said.

Lupita Nyong’o’s Oscar dress stolen BY ANTHONY MCCARTNEY AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — The theft of a $150,000 pearlcovered gown worn by Lupita Nyong’o at the Oscars doesn’t surprise Hollywood stylists who have personally experienced the seedy side of red carpet fashion. Style expert and fashion commentator Mary Alice Stephenson has for years heard stories about similar stolen celebrity items. “It’s not shocking to me that this would be taken out of her hotel room,” said Stephenson, who once had a nabbed Fendi bag held for ransom. A dress like the custom ivory one designed by Francisco Costa for the Calvin Klein Collection could fetch a lot of money on the black market, Stephenson said. “There are a lot of collectors out there who are very private and have private collections of stolen merchandise,” she said. “Some of these dresses have global fame as big as any Van Gogh.”

However, Los Angeles Auction House director Bryan Abbott noted that the black market would be problematic for fetching top dollar in this case. “Celebrity-related material has additional value because it’s related to the celebrity,” he said. “If this was stolen, you wouldn’t be able to realize that additional value.” “I can’t think of a harder thing to sell than a high-profile Oscar dress by a famous manufacturer that’s associated with a famous personality. You’d have to bury it for a hundred years,” he added. The 6,000 disconnected pearls wouldn’t even be worth much on their own, Abbott said. “Most pearls don’t have much of a resale value to start with, unless they’re from a famous manufacturer such as Mikimoto,” he said. “If the dress were made of Mikimoto pearls, it would be millions of dollars.” Sheriff’s deputies responded to call late Wednesday from a West Hollywood hotel after the custom dress was report-

ed missing from the hotel room of the actress, sheriff’s Sgt. Richard Bowman said. Nyong’o was present when deputies took the report, but she wasn’t in her room when the elaborate gown was taken, Bowman said. Her publicists said they would not comment on the theft. Detectives were at the hotel Thursday looking for clues, including surveillance video that might reveal what happened. Nyong’o won an Oscar in 2014 for her role in “Twelve Years a Slave” and was a presenter at Sunday’s ceremony. Nyong’o told a reporter for Yahoo Style that she was involved in the design of the dress. “We talked about it being fluid and liquid,” she told the site. “I wanted it to be an homage to the sea.” A representative for Calvin Klein declined to comment. But late Thursday night, the fashion house did tweet a close-up photo of the dress, writing “have you seen this dress?” with the hashtag “freethepearls.”
