Got a high power bill? House approves sales tax holiday BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Hunting and fishing enthusiasts are happy campers this week after the House voted to pass a Mississippi sales tax holiday for hunting and fishing supplies. The House voted 86-27 to pass House Bill 1404 that would create the Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday on the first weekend of September. “Hunting and fishing is a huge economic tool for our state. It puts several million dollars a year in the state

ACE Power Company management Eddie Howard and Jason Grisham discuss the recent spike in energy usage in the Crossroads.

Record demand causes increases, ACE offers programs to reduce use BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Farmington residents Jesse and Rebekah Foster received a $680 electric bill recently. “That’s more than our house payment,” Jesse said. The couple says their bill is normally high in the winter, but never this high. “For the last six years, our bills have always been high during the winter months ... and we

don’t do anything different,” a concerned Jesse added. “Then in March and April our bill always go back to normal.” The Fosters aren’t alone. ACE Power Company has been receiving calls from customers complaining about their higher than normal bills for several weeks. “The cold weather is the main reason customers have been receiving higher bills recently,”

said Jason Grisham, manger of engineering at ACE. “As far as low temperatures go, we haven’t had a December, January and February like this in years.” ACE Power Company receives its power from TVA.

West coast family adopts local canine BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Khloe traveled a long way to find her fur-ever home. The nine-month-old Newfoundland mix wandered into the yard of a Wenasoga resident in September 2013. After a ride in the Corinth animal control vehicle, the collar-less dog was dropped off at the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter. “We didn’t know what breed she was at first,” said Phyllis Driver, recuse relations volunteer at the shelter. “Her face looked like a chow. She had long hair and a small body.”

Driver is in charge of listing all available shelter animals on Facebook and the various other recuse websites. In order to write descriptions of an animal, she must first spend time with the animal – her favorite part of the job. “Beautiful, loving and very gentle. More interested in people then other dogs,” Driver said as she remembered what she had written about Khloe. Within the first week of posting photos and a detailed description of Khloe on Recuseme.com, Driver received Please see KHLOE | 2A

Legendary basketball coach passes away BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

Coach James Horton attends a recent McNairy Central Sports Hall of Fame banquet with Neal Walker, a former basketball player for Horton who remains McNairy Central’s all-time leading scorer.

A true basketball legend has been laid to rest. Coach James Arthur Horton, who laid the foundation for an outstanding basketball tradition at Corinth High School, recently passed away after a short illness. Horton, 72, a star high school basketball player at Ramer High School in the 50s, came to CHS in 1966 and immediately had success with a winning season in his first year. He played college basketball at Memphis State University (now University of Memphis) before going into coaching.

Former Superintendent of Schools Eugene Doran hired Horton to become the first basketball only coach at CHS. Johnny Plummer, the coach prior to Horton, was also the head baseball coach. Tom Rogers, who played for Horton at CHS and served as a school board member for seven years, was one of three people asked to speak at his funeral. “When he passed away, we not only lost our coach, but our best friend, coach, mentor and second father for most of us,” Rogers said. He left both Corinth and McNairy Central High School as the leader in coaching wins at

the end of his tenure at each school. Horton held many CHS coaching records for years. He still holds the school record for 11 county tournament titles in 14 seasons, eight consecutive winning seasons and carried the Warriors to their first-ever trip to the state championship in 1970. He is tied with David Robbins for longest tenure (14 seasons) as the Warriors coach. “Coach Horton loved Corinth and Corinth loved Coach Horton,” said Rogers. “He wanted us to be good basketball players, but that was secondary to Please see HORTON | 6A

the e-mail that would change Khloe’s life.

A dog for Christmas Indy Carter, a San Francisco Bay engineer, knew she wanted to surprise her eight-year-old daughter, Jennifer, with a dog for Christmas. With help from Santa Claus, Indy and her deployed Air Force husband planned, “Operation: A Dog for Christmas.” Jennifer loved the “Beethoven” movies and wanted a St. Bernard, but after some research Indy discovered the Newfoundland breed was better for children. Indy also has a twoyear-old son.

After searching locally for the hard to find breed, she turned to the Internet. It was faith. “When I first talked to Ms. Phyllis about Khloe, I knew she was the dog for us,” Indy said via phone from her home in Pleasant Hill, Calf. “Everyone I talked to at the shelter in Corinth was very helpful.”

Journey out west Driver had helped ship animals all over the south from Birmingham to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Most weeks she orchestrates shelter animals’ trips to the North Shore Animal League -- a no-kill animal rescue and adoption clinic in Long Island,

Khloe was nine months old when she was first captured by animal control and brought to the CorinthAlcorn Animal Shelter. New York. “Khloe was the first animal I’ve sent west of the

Mississippi river,” Driver said. “I was a little worried, because I had never

dealt with sending an animal all the way to California.” Driver said when someone wants a dog so bad, they’ll do anything to make it happen. “Money isn’t an issue,” she said. The safety of Khloe was, however. “Before sending animals state-to-state, their health records must be updated,” Driver said. “Indy had made arrangements with the company, Runway Pets. They handle the air travel transportation for animals coast-to-coast.” Driver said everything was paid for up front by Carter. “The shelter did buy a special crate for Khloe. The crate had to be bolted together and his food and water bowl had to be bolted to the crate’s floor,” she added. “The crate had to be big enough for Khloe to turn around in.” Two weeks prior to Christmas, Driver and fellow shelter volunteer HC Johnson drove Khloe from Corinth to the Mem-

phis International Airport where she would start her journey home.

Fur-ever home Khloe arrived safety in California. “The entire process was smoother then I could ever imagine,” Indy said. “From the shelter and vet in Corinth to Runway Pets, the whole experience was great.” On Christmas morning, young Jennifer found a crate with a big red bow and a sign on it under the Christmas tree. “From Santa, to Jennifer,” the sign read. “Both Jennifer and Khloe was so excited,” Indy said. “Khloe took right to the kids and it seemed like she loved us from the get go.” Indy said Jennifer and Khloe are now best friends. “We are so lucky to have Khloe,” Indy added. “She has brought a lot of joy to our family.” “Life is perfect,” she added.

total in TVA’s history. Five of the top 10 highest usage energy days happened in this January. A 12-year veteran of ACE, Grisham said if something in a home is the least bit inefficient during colder weather, then it’s going to compound the problem and often make a bill higher than normal. “Most people think they have a meter issue, but those are very rare,” Grisham added. “We often check a heating unit to make sure it’s not froze up or the unit isn’t covered in leaves or grass. Also, we like to ask when was the last time a new filter was installed. People don’t realize filters need to be changed monthly.” ACE offers several programs to help its customers with energy costs. Levelized billing provides customers with a way to guard against large fluctuations in their monthly electric bill. “We use a rolling average of a customer’s electric usage. To apply for the program, a customer must have a good pay history and a minimum of 12 months at a address,” said ACE Office Manager Eddie Howard. “A customer’s bill will never increase more than 20 percent from the previous month.” A pre-pay power program has been a big hit with ACE customers. PayWise is a program where a customer can buy electricity in advance. This is very similar to buying gasoline for a vehicle. The vehicle has a guage that allows monitoring of when it needs to be filled up. “Some customers would prefer to make weekly or biweekly payments on their electric bills rather than make one large payment each month,” said Grisham. “A customer can set up alerts

to be sent by text or email when their balance gets to a certain level. An alert is automatically sent when the customer hits zero.” Statistics have indicated that members who use prepaid electric programs tend to reduce their electric consumption because they are more aware of how they are using their electricity. “PayWise would be a great option for any member wanting to monitor his or her electric consumption,” added Grisham. “We have seen people cut their bill by 10 to 15 percent by using PayWise.” For those customers who want to know how much energy they are using without signing up for PayWise, Grisham recommends the free MyUsage.com program. “A person can get an email daily when they sign up at the ACE office for MyUsage.com,” he said. “The email will actually show how much energy they have used for that day.” Howard wants to assure customers that ACE does want to help people achieve a lower electric bill. “ACE Power Company was the first cooperative in the nation. ACE is owned by its members - every person who has ACE Power, owns part of the company,” Howard added. “We are here to ensure every customer is happy.” Howard welcomes any customer with a question or concern about their electric bill to stop by the ACE offices on Tate Street. “We have staff that is ready to sit down and go over a bill with a customer,” he said. “We can show them their usage and history and how the weather affects their power use.” (For more information, visit ace-power.com, contact 287-4402 or stop by ACE offices at 1909 South Tate Street.)

Today in history

Across The Region

Today is Sunday, March 2, the 61st day of 2014. There are 304 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 2, 1939, Roman Catholic Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli was elected pope on his 63rd birthday; he took the name Pius XII.

On this date: In 1793, the first president of the Republic of Texas, Sam Houston, was born near Lexington, Va. In 1861, the state of Texas, having seceded from the Union, was admitted to the Confederacy. In 1877, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was declared the winner of the 1876 presidential election over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, even though Tilden had won the popular vote. In 1917, Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship as President Woodrow Wilson signed the Jones-Shafroth Act. In 1939, the Massachusetts legislature voted to ratify the Bill of Rights, 147 years after the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution had gone into effect. In 1944, “Casablanca� won best picture, best director and best screenplay at the Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. In 1951, the East beat the West, 111-94, in the first NBA All-Star Game, which took place at Boston Garden. In 1962, Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a game against the New York Knicks, an NBA record that still stands. (Philadelphia won, 169-147.) In 1972, the United States launched the Pioneer 10 space probe, which flew past Jupiter in late 1973, sending back images and scientific data. In 1989, representatives from the 12 European Community nations agreed to ban all production of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) by the end of the 20th century. Ten years ago: A series of coordinated blasts in Iraq killed 181 people at shrines in Karbala and Baghdad as thousands of Shiite Muslim pilgrims gathered for a religious festival.

Homestead tax exemption due IUKA – The deadline to file Homestead Tax Exemption in Tishomingo County is fast approaching. The Tishomingo Tax Assessor’s office said the filing deadline is March 31. Those residents who bought a new home or sold or purchased land may need to file or re-file Homestead Tax Exemption. Those residents who turned 65 or became disabled in 2013 and have been granted veteran disability will need to re-file, as well.  New era for Tishomingo baseball TISHOMINGO – A new era is about to begin at Tishoming County High School. For the first time in its 22-year history, TCHS baseball will be lead by a new coach. TCHS alum Bake Holly will take over duties of head coach, assisted by Seth Kennedy. The team, lead by five

seniors, will hit the field for the first time this week in Division 1-4A action.

Woman acquitted of assault charge BOONEVILLE — A Prentiss County circuit court jury found Angela Lane Nunley of Booneville not guilty of a felony charge of simple assault on a teacher. The jury was hung on a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. The case went to trial last week with Circuit Court Judge Jim Pounds presiding. The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Kimi Kitchens and Josh Wise. Nunley was represented by Tupelo attorney Victor Fleitas. The jury, composed of nine men and three women, deliberated about three hours before unanimously acquitting Nunley on the felony charge. Nunley, 36, was accused of striking a teacher at Hills Chapel School on March 22, 2013.

Possible wintry mix predicted for tonight Another winter storm is headed for the MidSouth today and tonight. Portions of the MidSouth were under a winter storm warning while Alcorn County was on the edge of a winter storm watch as of Saturday evening for potential ice accumulations Sunday night. The National Weather Service forecast for Corinth calls for possibly a tenth of an inch of ice

accumulation overnight with freezing rain or sleet likely after arctic air moves in and changes over the rainfall to a wintry mix. Precipitation amounts are expected to be greater to the northwest. Hazardous driving conditions may occur. NWS said the storm track and precipitation amounts remained uncertain. The high temperature for Monday is forecast to be 35.

T.I.P/T.O.P. Awards Patrick Eaton, executive director of the Northeast Development Foundation, and the Foundation Board of Directors awarded the 2013 T.I.P/T.O.P. Awards at a recent luncheon. Because of the continued dedication and commitment to Northeast Mississippi Community College by its faculty and staff, the Foundation created the T.I.P/T.O.P.

The Northeast Development Foundation, a non-profit corporation, offers a comprehensive program of giving opportunities and is specifically responsible for gifts to the college involving estate planning, real estate, insurance, endowments, annuities, trusts, pooled income funds or other special donations that require ongoing management or binding agreements. The Foundation exists to serve Northeast Mississippi Community College by providing programs and benefits not fully provided by other sources.

TAX away, still getting the tax break when they buy them later. If the bill is passed, the state would give up an estimated $375,000 a year. Louisiana, South Carolina and West Virginia have similar sales tax holidays. “After much deliberation, I voted for this bill,� said District 2 Rep. Nick Bain (D-Alcorn). “I felt that the importance of promoting our second

Money bills dominate action in state legislature BY REP. NICK BAIN District 2

The House has worked hard this week to pass budget bills in time for the February 26 deadline. These floor deliberations on the “money bills” of appropriations and revenue have not gone as smoothly as some would prefer. The budgeting process for the state is much like budgeting for a family. As a family, we make our best estimate as to how much money we can expect to earn during the year. Based on that amount, we will then make sure we pay what we owe, and, after that, we will determine where we can increase our expenditures. The state’s budgeting process is complex. Agencies’ budget requests are balanced against a variety of projection tools predicting how much money will be available for spending. A change in one area will create a ripple effect throughout many programs, and so I believe any changes should be made very carefully. And, the best approach is to make sure the budget bills that come to the Legislature for a vote reflect accurate revenue amounts and expenditure expectations. Last week, we worked two days voting on appropriation bills for state agencies. There were amendments offered for the majority of the agencies’ budgets which would have given employees of those agencies acrossthe-board pay raises. Each time a pay raise amendment was brought forward, it was defeated at the request of the Appropriations Chairman. However, during the explanation of the budget for the Department of Education, an amendment was offered requiring a plan to be developed that would provide a $1,000 pay raise to all state employees. The amendment passed on a voice vote with no opposition. Increasing our hard-working public employees’ compensation is a worthy goal, and I hope that leadership will see fit to incorporate across-the-board pay raises into the substance of the budgeting process. If it cannot be addressed in a workable manner this year, then we should make every effort to make sure it happens next year. Our public employees have not had raises in over seven years. Many of them are actually bringing home less money than they were at the beginning of the recession. They deserve better. Our revenue projections have outpaced all predictions, and there should be ample money available to do this. Just like in the family budget, we will fund what is important to us in the Legislature. I think it is time that we show our state employees, including teachers, that they are important to us by incorporating meaningful raises into our state budget. I want to thank Caterpillar for expanding in Corinth. The company is already a very valued community partner in so many ways, and this expansion has shown their commitment to our area. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the ribbon cutting. I was at the Capitol offering an amendment to a bill that will enable Corinth schools and others to offer advanced placement opportunities for students who want to test for college credit. Some of our students have gone to out-ofstate colleges and universities and have received credit for these classes. However, the students who have stayed within Mississippi’s borders for their college education have had trouble receiving the credits. My amendment should correct this problem. The Corinth area was certainly well-represented in Jackson last week. It was great to see our local FFA and 4H students at the Capitol. Both of these programs are molders of the next generation of leaders, and it was quite evident that we can expect great things of this young people. Dr. Johnny Allen was the keynote speaker at the annual FFA banquet. I was happy to see Amanda Mattox honored at the HEADWAE program as the Faculty Honoree for NEMCC. I look forward to hearing from you. Please call me at 662-287-1620, email nbain@ house.ms.gov, message me on FaceBook at Nicholas Ryan Bain or follow me on Twitter @StaterepBain2.

Prayer for today Lord God, forbid that I should try to supplant character with manners and worldly goods. May I remember that thou seest me, and knowest me, and I need no shield from thee. Help me that I may be found acceptable while thou dost search me to the depths of the soul. Amen.

A verse to share “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” — Daniel 12:3

The fraud of fairness It seems as if, everywhere you turn these days, there are studies claiming to show that America has lost its upward mobility for people born in the lower socioeconomic levels. But there is a sharp difference between upward “mobility,” defined as an opportunity to rise, and mobility defined as actually having risen. That distinction is seldom even mentioned in most of the studies. It is as if everybody is chomping at the bit to get ahead, and the ones that don’t rise have been stopped by “barriers” created by “society.” When statistics show that sons of high school dropouts don’t become doctors or scientists nearly as often as the sons of Ph.D.s, that is taken as a sign that American society is not “fair.” If equal probabilities of achieving some goal is your definition of fairness, then we should all get together — people of every race, color, creed, national origin, political ideology and sexual preference — and stipulate that life has never been fair, anywhere or any time in all the millennia of recorded history. Then we can begin at last to talk sense. I know that I never had an equal chance to become a great ballet dancer like

Rudolph Nureyev. The thought of becoming a ballet dancer never once crossed Thomas my mind in Sowell all the years when I was Columnist growing up in Harlem. I suspect that the same thought never crossed the minds of most of the guys growing up on New York’s lower east side. Does that mean that there were unfair barriers keeping us from following in the footsteps of Rudolph Nureyev? A very distinguished scholar once mentioned at a social gathering that, as a young man, he was not thinking of going to college until someone else, who recognized his ability, urged him to do so. Another very distinguished scholar told me that, although his parents were anti-Semitic, it was the fact that he went to a school with many Jewish children that got him interested in intellectual matters and led him into an academic career. All groups, families and cultures are not even trying to do the same things, so the fact that they do not all end up equally represented

everywhere can hardly be automatically attributed to “barriers” created by “society.” Barriers are external obstacles, as distinguished from internal values and aspirations — unless you are going to play the kind of word games that redefine achievements as “privileges” and treat an absence of evidence of discrimination as only proof of how diabolically clever and covert the discrimination is. The front page of a local newspaper in northern California featured the headline “The Promise Denied,” lamenting the under-representation of women in computer engineering. The continuation of this long article on an inside page had the headline, “Who is to blame for this?” In other words, the fact that reality does not match the preconceptions of the intelligentsia shows that there is something wrong with reality, for which somebody must be blamed. Apparently their preconceptions cannot be wrong. Women, like so many other groups, seem not to be dedicated to fulfilling the prevailing fetish among the intelligentsia that every demographic group should be equally represented in all sorts of places.

Women have their own agendas, and if these agendas do not usually include computer engineering, what is to be done? Draft women into engineering schools to satisfy the preconceptions of our selfanointed saviors? Or will a propaganda campaign be sufficient to satisfy those who think that they should be making other people’s choices for them? That kind of thinking is how we got ObamaCare. At least one of the recent celebrated statistical studies of social mobility leaves out Asian Americans. Immigrants from Asia are among a number of groups, including American-born Mormons, whose achievements totally undermine the notion that upward mobility can seldom be realized in America. Those who preach this counterproductive message will probably never think that the envy, resentment and hopelessness they preach, and the welfare state they promote, are among the factors keeping people down.

Is Cruz out of control? What you think of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) depends on who you believe. Is the freshman senator on an “ego trip,” putting himself before country (Dana Milbank, The Washington Post), or is he standing on his principles (Cruz’s conservative supporters)? ABC chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl says Cruz is “so hated” among GOP senators that “he’s going to need a food taster.” In a telephone interview with me, Cruz acknowledges he would not win a “Mr. Congeniality” contest if it were up to the Republican leadership in the Senate, but contends that they and some of his colleagues are out of touch with the will of the people. I ask him about his controversial move last week to change Senate rules by requiring 60 votes to pass the debt ceiling increase, instead of a 51-vote majority. Cruz responded, “...there is no universe in which I would be willing to consent to allow (majority leader) Harry Reid to raise the debt ceiling with no spending reforms on only 51 votes. The reaction from a significant number of my colleagues was considerable anger and dismay.”

Cruz rejects the notion that a vote against raising the debt ceiling would have Cal p r o d u c e d Thomas another government Columnist shutdown, favoring Democrats. He points to history: “The last 55 times the debt ceiling has been raised, Congress attached significant conditions to it 28 times. Virtually every major spending restraint Congress has passed has come through the debt ceiling.” As two examples, he cites the GrammRudman-Hollings Balanced Budget Act, which, according to its co-author Sen. Phil Gramm, was “the first binding constraint imposed on federal spending” and last year’s Budget Control Act, nicknamed “sequestration.” How does Cruz expect to get the reforms he wants without a Republican Senate majority, not to mention a Republican president? “We have the same number of votes we had when we got the Budget Control Act,” he maintains. “If we had stood together and voted no, we could have blocked this from happening. ... We

would (then have sat) down and negotiated a resolution, a compromise, with some meaningful spending restraints.” What about the Republican and larger Washington establishment and the Tea Party? The prevailing wisdom is that the Tea Party harms incumbents, replacing them with conservative purists, who then lose the general election. Not true, says Cruz. While acknowledging that Tea Party candidates Christine O’Donnell (Delaware) and Sharon Engle (Nevada) lost to Democrats in 2010 races that stronger candidates might have won, Cruz says the overall record of Tea Party candidates is far better than the establishment’s record. He cites Florida, where Marco Rubio beat Charlie Crist in a primary despite Crist’s support from the GOP establishment. Cruz says Rubio was the right candidate given Crist’s postelection switch to the Democrats. Crist is now running for governor as a Democrat. Cruz offers other examples in which Tea Party candidates won over hand-picked establishment candidates: Pat Toomey over Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania; Mike Lee over Robert Bennett in

Utah; Rand Paul over Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s candidate, Trey Grayson, in Kentucky. He might add himself to that list. “Every one of these,” he says, “was elected by the Tea Party against huge opposition from the establishment and all of their money.” Can promoting such candidates win back the Senate for Republicans in November? Cruz says, “Many of the critics are saying the path to victory in November is for Republicans to put their heads down, don’t rock the boat, don’t take any stands. ... I think history has proven that that is a consistent path to failure. The way to win in November is for Republicans to take principled stands. ... That doesn’t mean we need to fight on everything. You pick your battles. ... When Washington politicians retreat on every issue, it demoralizes grassroots conservative activists who are the key to winning in November.” Given the results of the last two presidential elections and their own poor record, the GOP establishment may want to put themselves on “Cruz control.” Readers may e-mail Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribune.com.

Obama condemns Russian involvement WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Saturday called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to de-escalate tensions in Ukraine by pulling his forces back to bases in the country’s Crimean region and to refrain from any interference elsewhere in Ukraine. The White House says Obama delivered that message to Putin during a 90-minute telephone conversation. But Obama’s request was unlikely to be granted. The Kremlin said Putin emphasized to Obama that real threats exist to the life and health of Russian citizens living in Ukraine and that Russia has the right to protect its interests there. Russian troops took over Crimea on Saturday after the parliament in Moscow gave Putin the authority to send them in.

Europe has limited options for Ukraine WASHINGTON — Despite blunt warnings about costs and consequences, President Barack Obama and European leaders have limited options for retaliating against Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine, the former Soviet republic now at the center of an emerging conflict between East and West. Russian President Vladimir Putin has so far dismissed the few specific threats from

the United States, which include scrapping plans for Obama to attend an international summit in Russia this summer and cutting off trade talks sought by Moscow. Because Ukraine does not have full-member status in NATO, the U.S. and Europe have no obligation to come to its defense. And broader international action through the United Nations seems all but impossible, given Russia’s veto power as a member of the Security Council. “There have been strong words from the U.S. and other counties and NATO,” said Keir Giles, a Russian military analyst at the Chatham House think tank in London. “But these are empty threats. There is really not a great deal that can be done to influence the situation.” As if to underscore that point, Putin on Saturday requested and was granted permission to use Russia’s military not just in the pro-Russian region of Crimea, but also throughout Ukraine. Putin’s request came one day after Obama warned that any violation of Ukraine’s “sovereignty and territorial integrity would be deeply destabilizing.” Saturday’s developments follow three months of political upheaval in Ukraine following President Viktor Yanukovych’s rejection of a partnership agreement with the European Union in favor of historical ties with Moscow. Yanukovych fled Kiev, Ukraine’s capital, last week and now is in

Russia.

Waterlogged slopes worry western cities LOS ANGELES — Saturated mountainsides loomed over foothill communities on Saturday as a storm centered off California rotated bands of rain into a state that sorely needs the moisture but not at such dangerously high rates. Evacuation orders remained in effect for hundreds of homes in Los Angeles County foothill communities where fires have burned away vegetation that holds soil in place, and bursts of rain caused the mountains to belch occasional debris flows. The storm marked a sharp departure from many months of drought that has grown to crisis proportions for the state’s vast farming industry. However, such storms would have to become common to make serious inroads against the drought, weather forecasters have said. Officials warned that despite lengthy lulls, more heavy downpours are expected, and they urged residents who left their homes as much as three days earlier to be patient. “These mountains are now saturated and soaked. We know where the mud’s gonna go, we just don’t how much and what the intensity is going to be,” Assistant Chief Steve Martin of the Los Angeles County Fire Department told a webcast news conference.

Meredith: Noose on statue is ‘foolish’ LUMBERTO — The man who integrated the University of Mississippi in 1962 says the recent desecration of a statue of him on campus should not deter black students from attending Ole Miss. James Meredith said Friday that it was “foolish” for anyone to leave a noose and an old Georgia state flag with a prominent Confederate emblem, WDAM-TV reported. The items were found Feb. 16 on the statute near the university’s main administration building on the Oxford campus. “Teenagers have been committing pranks and doing foolish things forever, and blacks will be out of their minds if they were planning on going to Ole Miss and let this distraction turn them away,” said Meredith, who spoke Friday at a black history program in the south Mississippi town of Lumberton. Three Ole Miss freshmen from Georgia have been kicked out of their fraternity after the items were found on the statue. University spokesman Danny Blanton said the school would move forward “as soon as possible” with discipline through the student judicial process. That panel of faculty members and students could choose sanctions, including dismissal and barring the three from campus, Blanton said.

3 killed in crash in Pontotoc County NEW ALBANY — The Mississippi Highway

Patrol is investigating a head-on crash that killed three people in Pontotoc County. A preliminary investigation shows that on Friday night, 51-year-old Margel Swann of New Albany was driving a 1995 Isuzu pickup eastbound in the westbound lanes of Mississippi Highway 6. His vehicle hit a 2004 Honda Accord driven by 43-yearold Connie Malone of Thaxton. Swann was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown from his truck. He died at the scene. Connie Malone also died on the scene, as did one of her passengers, 43-year-old Christopher Ensey of Baldwyn. Malone’s other two passengers, 38-year-old Timothy Malone Thaxton, and a 9-year-old whose name was not released, were taken to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo.

Agriculture leader Bost dies at 90 STARKVILLE — William Bost, who directed the Mississippi Cooperative Extension Service for nearly two decades, has died at age 90. Bost died Friday at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, after a long illness. Mississippi State University President Mark Keenum calls Bost a “legendary figure” in the school’s history. Bost served in the Navy during World War II. He was ag extension director from 1962-81, and the MSU agricultural administration building is named for him. He was Progressive

Farmer magazine’s Man of the Year in 1980. Gov. William Waller named him Outstanding Mississippian in 1980 for serving the needs of rural and urban residents.

Push begins for liquor vote in Amory AMORY — A group backing a referendum on possible wine, beer and liquor sales plans to mail out thousands of letters asking residents to back the call for an election to decide the matter. “I think there will always be negative feedback. We’re willing to place ourselves out there for that,” said Len Pinkley, who, with his wife, Jean, are leaders of the group Let’s Grow Amory. WTVA reported each of the mailouts contains a letter and petitions. They want voters to decide whether Amory should permit the sale of alcoholic beverages as an economic development issue. “We think that would enhance our community for economic development and recruiting and that’s what we’re here for,” Len Pinkley said. “We want to grow. We want to progress. We want jobs for our people. We want industries and businesses to come here and find this is an open and welcoming community,” Jean Pinkley said. This grassroots group claims membership of about 20 people. It argues that Amory must change with the times. Alcohol sales, the group believes, would create new revenue streams to supplement existing businesses.

Coach James Horton made decision to return ‘home’ BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

A desire to coach his son and to return to his home county were two key factors in luring James Horton to leave Corinth High School for McNairy Central. Horton’s son Stacy was approaching high school at the time when he made the move to MCHS and Stacy wanted to attend high school with his junior high classmates at McNairy Central. When you add the fact Coach Horton had spent most of his life living in McNairy County and wanted to coach at home, then MCHS was the place for him. Wayne Henry was the principal at McNairy Central at the time Horton was hired to coach the Bobcats in 1980. Henry, a Ramer High graduate as well, knew Horton was the best choice as the boys coach to follow the late Robert Ingle. “James was a very respected man and coach,” said Henry. “He always backed the administration. He disciplined his players and taught them how to be respectful young men.” Richie Bodiford played for Horton’s first three teams at MCHS and enjoyed his time learning under Horton. “Coach Horton always had us so prepared to play and instilled confidence in his players,” said Bodiford. “He had us in fantastic shape

“Bear” McClain before the Eagles lost their first game in the state tournament. Coach McClain had coached Ramer during Horton’s freshman and sophomore years. The elite season by Horton enabled the Eagles to make a return trip to the state tournament where they lost in the opening round. Horton topped the state in scoring at 32.5 points a game and set the school scoring record for guards at the time with 1,157 points. He was chosen as a prep All-American, Ramer’s only one ever, and played in the East-West All-Star Game in Hutchison, Kansas. Douglas “Slick” McMahan was the other star on that Ramer team with Horton. McMahan averaged 20 a game as he and Horton combined to score 52 points per game. “He scored 32 points a game, but the word ‘I’ never came out of his mouth because he just wanted to win,” praised McMahan. “There are so many good memories of playing with him. We talked in the fourth and fifth grade about playing in the state tournament and we did it twice.” McMahan pointed out there was no classification in the state at the time and Ramer had to play the largest schools in the state during the tournaments.

because we ran so much in practice. We did not like it at the time, but realized later it gave us an edge.” Bodiford recalled the night the Bobcats defeated Hume-Fogg of Nashville in a sub-state game to earn the school’s first trip to the boys state tournament. “We were so well prepared that night that we could have beaten any team in the state,” remarked Bodiford. “I will never forget how it felt to win that night.” Coach Horton completed his coaching career by winning four district titles in seven seasons at MCHS and one region title, plus one trip to the state tournament. A 1959 graduate of Ramer High School, Horton was an all-state basketball player. He helped Ramer win the county junior high tournament in 1955. He was a four-year starter for Ramer and was a doublefigure scorer in three of his four seasons. He averaged 11 points a game as a sophomore while playing with his brother Benny, popped in 18 a game as junior and led Ramer to the state tournament. Horton led the Eagles to a 29-0 perfect regular season that earned them a number one ranking in the state. The Eagles lost in the district championship game and came back to win the region against Memphis Treadwell and former Ramer Coach Bill

him wanting us to be successful in life.” Rogers said every former CHS player he called to tell them about Horton’s death either cried on the phone or told him they later cried thinking about their former coach. The Warriors lost to Gulfport, the eventual overall champion, in the 1970 state championship game. CHS was in the largest of the four classes in the state at that time. CHS lost in the first round of the 1973 state tournament for their second trip to Jackson under Horton. An outstanding player on the state runnerup team, Mike Doran, said he believed Horton brought basketball to Corinth High School. “Coach Horton was a good man and was well respected,” said Doran, a center on the ’70 team. “He taught us a lot about basketball and how to be good people.” Horton is second in many categories in CHS coaching milestones – 409 games, 266 wins, seven 20-win seasons and recorded the first 30-win season (31) in 1972-1973. Robbins leads with 457 games, 310 wins and nine 20-

win seasons. A fact most have forgotten — Horton helped the Lady Warriors restart their basketball program in 1974-1975. Coach Horton took over at McNairy Central in 1980 to coach in his home county. He did not take long to make an impact by winning the school’s first boys district title in his second season and their first sub-state appearance in 1982. Horton carried the team to the state tournament for the first time ever in 1983 after winning district and region championships. The wily old coach finished his coaching career by winning four district titles in seven seasons at MCHS and one region title. He became the school’s first athletic director in the 1987-1988 season before returning to Corinth. He finished his education career as the principal at Corinth Junior High. Horton was not only important in the education system, but also was an elder at Antioch Church of Christ in Ramer for many years. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Mary Ellen Horton, and his son, Stacy.

Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Friday marks the end of the two-week period within which U.S. Sen. Bob Corker promised Volkswagen would announce another line at its factory in Tennessee if workers there rejected representation by the United Auto Workers union. So far, there’s little sign of any pending announcement. Workers at the Chattanooga plant ended up voting 712-626 against the UAW, in an election the union claims was tainted by threats and intimidation from Republicans like Corker, Gov. Bill Haslam and state law-

makers. The UAW last week filed a challenge with the National Labor Relations Board, seeking to have results voided and a new election to be held. The appeal cited warnings from GOP lawmakers that a pro-union vote would endanger key state incentives to secure the new line at the plant, and Corker’s statements that a vote against the union would be followed in short order an expansion announcement. “If the UAW is voted down they’re going to come here immediately, within a two week period, and affirm they’re going to build a line here,” Corker told The Associated Press

the day before the conclusion of the three-day vote. The Senator also dismissed the repeated claim by Volkswagen that a decision about whether to build a new SUV either in Chattanooga or at a plant in Mexico was unrelated to the union vote. “There is no way I’d put out statement like I put out unless I was 1,000 percent that it was accurate in every way,” Corker said at the time. In its appeal, the UAW criticized the statements from Corker and other GOP politicians during the election. “This resonates as a classic ‘fist inside the velvet glove’ threat,” the UAW appeal said. “If you vote against the union you will be rewarded, but if you go the other way you will be punished. “Senator Corker knew exactly what he was doing,” according to the filing. Corker blamed the UAW appeal — and the resulting delay in certifying the results of the union election — for put662-594-3011

with a profit of $961 million, or $1.47 per share, a year earlier. Revenue fell to $21.5 billion from $22.7 billion. Revenue at stores open at least a year, an important retail measurement, fell 2.5 percent. In addition to the breach, Target’s results were hurt by stumbles in its expansion into Canada, its first foray outside the U.S. Analysts had expected a profit of 80 cents on revenue of 21.5 billion, according to FactSet estimates. Investors sent shares of Target up more than 7 percent, or $3.98 to $60.49 on Wednesday as the earnings beat Wall Street estimates by a penny and met analysts’ sales estimates. The increase comes as Target’s stock had fallen 11 percent since the company disclosed the breach in mid-December. The stock is now down 5 percent since the theft was disclosed. Still, Target has much work to do to bring back customers who are still scared to shop there. Target disclosed on Dec. 19 data breach compromised 40 million credit and debit card accounts between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15. Then on Jan. 10 it said hackers also stole personal information — including names, phone numbers as well

ting a hold on expansion talks at the plant. “Unfortunately, I have to assume that today’s action may slow down Volkswagen’s final discussions on the new SUV line,” he said at the time. Volkswagen has remained silent on Corker’s latest assertions as well as the UAW appeal. The NLRB has given the UAW an extension until March 7 to present its evidence to support the case. Corker, a former Chattanooga mayor who played a large role in courting Volkswagen to build the plant in Chattanooga, calls the UAW complaint an effort to “try to muzzle or keep a United States Senator, a governor or a state legislator from being able to express their views.” Corker and fellow Republicans said they worried that a UAW foothold with its first foreign automaker in the South would have hurt the region’s ability to attract suppliers and other manufacturing plants. But the anti-union campaign left a sour taste among labor officials at Volkswagen, which is embarking on a $7 billion investment spree in North America over the next five years. Volkswagen had declared its neutrality on the UAW vote, but has been a proponent of creating a German-style “works council” at the plant, which would represent both blue collar and salaried employees.

as email and mailing addresses — from as many as 70 million customers. When the final tally is in, Target’s breach may eclipse the biggest known data breach at a retailer, one disclosed in 2007 at the parent company of TJ Maxx that affected 90 million records. Target says it’s taking steps to sure up its business. Company executives told investors on the call that it wants to make the store “irresistible” to shoppers with trendy merchandise and discounts. Target also is trying to fix merchandising problems and Canadians’ perception that prices are too high. And the company is accelerating its $100 million plan to implement chip-based credit card technology, which experts say is more secure than using traditional magnetic stripe cards by early 2015 in all 1,800 stores. The company said it expects earnings per share for the current quarter to range from 60 cents to 75 cents. Analysts had previously expected 88 cents. Target also expects revenue at stores opened at least a year to be flat to down 2 percent. For the full year, Target expects earnings per share to range between $3.85 and $4.15. Analysts had expected $4.21.

NEW YORK — Looks like Target Corp. will be feeling the financial pain for a while from the theft of credit card numbers and other information from millions of its customers. The nation’s second largest discounter said Wednesday that its profit in the fourth quarter fell 46 percent on a revenue decline of 5.3 percent as the breach scared off customers worried about the security of their private data. While Target said sales have been recovering since the breach was disclosed in mid-December, the company expects business to be muted for some time: It issued a profit outlook for the current quarter and full year that was below Wall Street estimates. The results come more than two months after Target disclosed that personal credit card data from millions of Target customers was stolen by hackers who targeted credit card terminals in its stores. During a conference call with investors on Wednesday, Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel said the retailer has been updating shoppers early and often on the facts of its ongoing investigation, offering

free credit card monitoring to any customer shopping at a Target store and working on equipping its locations with more secure technology. “We are committed to making things right,” he said. Target’s business has been affected by the breach in a number of ways. During the quarter, the number of transactions fell 5.5 percent, in part because of shoppers leery of buying at Target following the breach. The company also has faced costs related to the breach. Target said it can’t yet estimate how much the data breach will cost it in total. But in the fourth quarter, it said the breach resulted in $17 million of net expenses, with $61 million of total expenses partially offset by the recognition of a $44 million insurance receivable. Target said expenses may include payments to card networks to cover losses and expenses for reissuing cards, lawsuits, government investigations and enforcement proceedings. The costs could hurt the company’s first-quarter and full-year earnings, it said. Target, which based in Minneapolis, earned $520 million, or 81 cents per share, for the three months that ended on Feb. 1. That compares

Animal lover is appalled by camouflage wedding D E A R ABBY: My elderly inlaws are wonderful, but even with hearing aids, they have Abigail trouble hearThey enVan Buren ing. joy dining out often. In orDear Abby der for them to hear us, family and friends must speak louder than normal. In a restaurant, this can be uncomfortable, not only for those of us dining with them, but also for any other people seated nearby. My in-laws like to ask about and discuss personal and medical matters, and very loudly. If we try to keep our conversation at a reasonable and polite level, they get upset for not being included in the conversation or constantly ask, “What’d he say?” I feel bad for other diners seated near us who are trying to have a nice meal. What to do? — MORTIFIED AT THE DINNER TABLE DEAR MORTIFIED: With some of the commercials that air on television these days, from overactive bladder to hemorrhoids to erectile dysfunction and adult diapers, it’s hard to believe anyone would be shocked by what’s discussed at your

DEAR ABBY: My nephew is getting married next year. I was very excited because I love him and I’m a baker. I had planned on making the groom’s cake as I did for his brother’s and sister’s weddings. The problem is, they have decided on a hunting theme for their wedding -- including a camouflage wedding dress for the bride. Abby, I am an animal-rights activist. I’m against any form of hunting. I am also involved with several animal-protection groups. My nephew and his fiancee know how hard I work for animal rights — just the thought of a hunting theme for a wedding makes me ill. I don’t even want to attend, let alone make a cake. What can I do so there will be no hurt feelings if I don’t want to attend or participate? — BAKER IN THE MIDWEST DEAR BAKER: The theme for your nephew’s wedding is certainly unique. The concept of a camouflage wedding dress is practical because the dress can be worn after the nuptials, which isn’t the case with many bridal gowns. Feeling as strongly as you do about not attending, write the happy couple a warm letter wishing them a lifetime of happiness together and include a nice wedding gift — I’m sure there will be no hurt feelings.

table. However, if possible, ask that your party be seated in a section of the restaurant away from other patrons. If it’s not, turn to diners who are overhearing the “organ recital” and say, “They’re actually whispering, even though it doesn’t sound like it!” DEAR ABBY: My husband, and I are getting ready to close on our first home. Our mortgage broker was an absolute angel, teaching us about the process and making sure we were wellinformed. Because he was so wonderful, we were thinking about getting him a thank-you card and a gift card to a restaurant. We’re unsure about the etiquette regarding thank-yous to mortgage brokers and aren’t sure how to proceed. Please advise. — FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS DEAR HOMEBUYERS: The same rules of etiquette apply that would apply to any gift. I’m sure your “angel” will not only be pleased by your generosity and grateful for your thoughtfulness, but also pleasantly surprised.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Experience teaches you to make good choices. You get the experience by making bad choices. So today you can’t go wrong unless you make no choice at all. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The day’s events have an inspired quality: You feel it, and then you do it. Deliberation seems unnecessary. Besides, most things you will do now can be undone later if you change your mind. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your heart has a way of taking turns without warning you where it’s headed. You might be surprised by who you feel for, how you feel and the intensity of your emotions. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s easy to interpret the comments of others as discouragement, but that would only be one interpretation. Listen with an optimistic ear. Challenge yourself to find a positive take-away from

everything you hear. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When it’s time to unwind, be sure to fully commit to it. You are as entitled to relaxation as anyone else. Pamper yourself. It’s good to feel good. Why spoil it by feeling guilty? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It will be hard to enjoy yourself while focusing so intently on serving others. There is fun to be shared. In order to share in it, you have to stop believing that you must supply it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Keep true to your work plan. It will feel like you are just doing a small amount, but at the end of the week, you’ll be finished and so proud of how everything added up! SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Before you volunteer, make sure there really is a need there. The way to productivity and success will start with the extremely easy step of avoiding wasted efforts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s a lot you want to do with your life, but you will do far more if you narrow down your goals to just one. Treating your goal like it’s the main thing that matters will lead to productivity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). All matches do not start off with that heavenly feeling. And yet, if you take into account what can be learned from people who are difficult and different from you, maybe all matches are made in heaven, after all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re still not sure whether a plan will work, but hold onto hope. If it doesn’t work, you’ll know more than you know now. If you are persistent, you’ll get where you’re trying to go. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your mission is challenging, but with the right support around you, you absolutely can succeed. Getting that support is half of the work.

Former Rebel helps down Ole Miss Associated Press

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M, sparked by one spectacular dunk, overcame the loss of two key guards in a 71-60 victory over Mississippi on Saturday. “This kind of epitomizes our team,” Aggies guard Alex Caruso said. “The heart, toughness . we’ll do whatever it takes to win.” Jamal Jones, who started his career at Ole Miss before transferring, led the Aggies with 21 points, while Jarvis Summers paced the Rebels (17-12, 8-8 SEC) with 18. Ole Miss star guard Marshall Henderson finished with 16 points in making 5-of-16 3-pointers.

Jones, who only played in five games for Ole Miss in 2011-12 before transferring to Lee College near Houston, admitted the contest and its outcome was extra special to the one-time Rebel. “This game means a lot to me,” an emotional Jones said afterward. “Obviously I was there my freshman year. I really wanted to win, my teammates knew I wanted to win, and we just all came together and got it done.” Andy Kennedy, his former coach at Ole Miss, said of Jones, “He’s really turned himself into a catch-and-shoot guy.” Meanwhile, the Aggies (17-

12 and 8-8) played without senior Fabyon Harris and freshman Shawn Smith, who’ve traded out starts at shooting guard for much of the season. A&M coach Billy Kennedy said Smith was dealing with “personal issues” and, “We thought it would be best if he got away for a couple of days.” He added that he intends to meet with Smith on Monday. The Harris scare shook up the A&M coach more. The senior fainted during the team’s shootaround earlier Saturday, and Kennedy said Harris was unresponsive for at least a few minutes. “It was a real eerie feeling,” Kennedy said.

After Harris gained consciousness he was taken to an area hospital, where doctors intended to hold him overnight as a precaution. Billy Kennedy said Harris hadn’t eaten anything earlier in the day, which might have led to his collapse on the court. Back on the hardwood, Caruso turned in the Aggies’ play of the year when he dribbled behind his back in the lane and then dunked over Henderson on a fast break early in the decisive second half. “I didn’t really have the (dunk) planned out in my head, it was just kind of an inPlease see JONES | 11A

Hot-shooting Missouri, Post defeats MSU Associated Press

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Keanau Post made a long-awaited first trip to the podium. After threatening his season total with 14 points and also setting a career best in rebounds, the Missouri big man was at a loss for words. “He feels a lot more comfortable out there than he does right now,” coach Frank Haith said after Missouri whipped Mississippi State 85-66 on Saturday. Post: “Well, yeah.” The 6-foot-11 Post was one of the top junior college players in the nation last season at Southwestern Illinois Community College, averaging 12 points and eight rebounds. During a rout that helped the

Tigers move past losses at Alabama and Georgia, he was a standout again. “We all anticipate Keanau being just a really big-time player for us,” Haith said. “I’m proud of Keanau, he’s kept working, he’s kept a positive attitude, and we’ve kept coaching him.” Post had 14 points on 6-for-6 shooting and seven rebounds in 22 minutes, benefiting from extended playing time due to foul trouble on Johnathan Williams III and Ryan Rosburg. He totaled 18 points all season prior to Saturday and averaged 0.8 points and 1.3 rebounds. “It felt great,” Post said. “I think it just felt great knowing that the whole team contrib-

uted to it. It wasn’t just me, it was the guards, for sure.” Jabari Brown scored 21 points and Missouri (20-9, 8-8 SEC) set season bests with 62 percent shooting and 19 assists. Jordan Clarkson had 14 points, seven assists and five rebounds. “That’s when it’s fun, when everybody has a hand in us winning,” Haith said. “And everybody truly had a hand in us winning.” The school is 14-2 at home and reached 20 victories for the sixth straight season, dominating against an opponent that entered with an RPI of 223. Inside men Post, Rosburg and Torren Jones finished off many of the assists, combining

to make all 13 shots. Williams, Rosburg and Jones had two blocks apiece. “I think first and foremost, those guys had some easy opportunities because of the penetration by the Missouri guards,” Ray said. “I think there was actually like two legitimate post moves by those guys in the paint.” Missouri shot just 32 percent its last time out, losing by 15 at Georgia. “This is March now and we don’t want to lose any games in March,” Brown said. “March is our money time and we’re trying to make the most of it.” Fred Thomas matched his season best with 18 points for Please see POST | 11A

South Carolina shocks No. 17 Kentucky Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Frank Martin went from one of the most disappointing games of his career to his best win so far at South Carolina. Brenton Williams scored 24 points for South Carolina, and Kentucky coach John Calipari was ejected midway through the second half as the Gamecocks held off the 17th-ranked Wildcats 72-67 on Saturday night. Coming off a seven-point loss to Auburn that was uglier than the score indicated, Martin made his team run all practice. He kept screaming “Kentucky!” at them to remind them that they aren’t anywhere near the elite team he came to South Carolina to lead. “I refuse to give in to difficult moments. And I thought our

team was giving in to us not playing well, to our record,” Martin said. It was the Wildcats (21-8, 11-5 Southeast Conference), who looked like the team in the league basement, missing 14 straight shots, shooting less than 27 percent from the field and watching Calipari walk out of the arena with his suit coat buttoned but his shirttail out. Calipari’s ejection marked a turning point in a terrible game for Kentucky. After he left, the Wildcats responded with a 2817 run and, after a three-point play by Julius Randle, Kentucky trailed 68-67 with 22 seconds left. But freshman Sindarius Thornwell hit two free throws for South Carolina (11-18, 4-12), and Alex Poythress’ attempt at a tying 3-pointer fell short.

It was South Carolina’s first win over a top 25 team in more than three years and pulled the Gamecocks out of last place in the SEC. Students ignored repeated warnings and stormed the court, likely incurring a hefty fine from the league. It also was South Carolina’s first win over Kentucky since beating the No. 1 Wildcats 6862 in January 2010 in Calapari’s first game against the Gamecocks. That’s the last time South Carolina students stormed the court and Thornwell remembered watching. “It’s like a movie,” he said. “You always, as a basketball player playing in college, dream of upsetting somebody and have the crowd storm the court.” The Wildcats shot just 26.9 percent (14-of-52) from the field. They only stayed in it

thanks to 33-of-42 shooting from the foul line and outrebounding the Gamecocks 4628. Brenton Williams scored 25 points for South Carolina, 15 of them of free throws. He made all four foul shots on Calipari’s technical and two more foul shots when assistant Orlando Antigua got another technical. Kentucky assistant John Robic took over for Calipari, leading a team for the first time since he was fired from Youngstown State in 2005. Calipari left Robic to face reporters after the game, and the assistant said he had no idea why Calipari was so frustrated with the officials. “You’ll have to ask him. I know he’s not here. I guess a call didn’t go our way here and Please see SHOCK | 11A

stinct thing,” Caruso said. “That was all adrenaline right there.” Caruso added that he had trouble keeping his balance in grasping the rim a bit too long, because, “I’m not used to dunking on people - I’m used to dunking in warmups.” Caruso, whose electric play brought the crowd to its feet, lifted the Aggies to a 39-33 lead with 16:48 remaining (the game was tied 33-33 at halftime), and A&M outscored a staggered Ole Miss 32-27 the rest of the way. The Aggies outscored the Rebels 30-24 in the paint, and their 50.9 percent from the field (27 of 53) marked their best showing in seven games. Jordan Green earned the start in the absence of Harris and Smith and turned in a career high 16 points. A&M, in trying to make the postseason for the first time in Billy Kennedy’s three seasons, has won four of its last six games, and rebounded strongly from a 68-49 setback at LSU on Wednesday. The reeling Rebels have lost five of six, and Andy Kennedy said Henderson’s streaky shooting is just part of the equation with the flamboyant guard from Hurst, Texas.

Mississippi State (13-16, 3-13), which has lost 11 in a row — eight of them by double digits. The Bulldogs had a season-best 10 3-pointers, four by Thomas and three by Jacoby Davis. “I’d be worried if our guys weren’t come to practice every day and working hard and competing,” Ray said. “I know everybody focuses in on the losing streak, but you’ve got to make sure your team is still coming out and working and being enthusiastic.” Brown had five points and Missouri had a pair of 3-pointers in a 15-0 run that put the game away at 68-41 with 11:12 to go.

there,” Robic said. The Wildcats trailed 48-32 with 14:13 left after South Carolina made six of its first eight shots in the second half. Kentucky was still down 16 after Williams’ free throws and a jumper by Duane Notice after Calipari’s second technical. But the Wildcats didn’t fold. Andrew Harrison hit a 3-pointer with 3:11 left that cut the Gamecocks lead to 59-56. But Laimonas Chatkevicius pulled down an offensive rebound for South Carolina and was fouled. He hit both foul shots. After two free throws by Kentucky cut the Gamecocks’ lead to 62-58 with just under two minutes left, Chatkevicius dunked in a rebound. James Young hit a 3-pointer for Kentucky to put the Wildcats down three and Chatkevicius followed with a baby hook to put South Carolina ahead 66-61

with 44.3 seconds left. Chatkevicius finished with eight points. Thornwell added 14 points. Aaron Harrison led Kentucky with 21 points. He made just four of his 16 shots, but shot 11 of 12 on free throws. James Young added 19 points and Randle added 10 points and 15 re-

bounds. The Wildcats lost two in a row for the first time this season. They shot just 34 percent in a 71-67 overtime loss to Arkansas and had to go to overtime to beat LSU the game before. “That’s a hurting locker room right now,” Robic said.

Agnew tells true stories through poetry BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

“Words – so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of someone who knows how to combine them.” -- Nathaniel Hawthorne Proving the pen is often mightier than the tongue, Doris Agnew wields her tool of choice with the skill and artistry of a master craftsman. Agnew takes a storytelling approach with her art and often times her poetry mirrors the experiences she has had in life. “I started writing poetry in 1991,” said Agnew. “I call it ‘my rhymes’... I started writing my rhymes.” “When I was in the third grade, our teacher asked us to rhyme words. Emphasis was placed on the fact that words could rhyme without having the same spelling. I have two older sisters, but my two brothers were closer in age to me and they liked to read comic books. So, I loved reading comic books as well,” said the 1953 Scale Street High graduate. “I went home and forgot my lesson because I was reading comic books. It was just my luck that I was the first one called that morning.” Agnew did the only thing she could think of. She said the first thing that came to mind. “Off the top of my head, I said. ‘Every morning when I get out of bed, I ask my mother for a piece

of cornbread. Every night when I go to bed, I hide 15 biscuits under my head’.” Agnew said she gave up poetry for a while after that. When it comes to writer’s block, she said it’s best to just walk away and come back to it later. “I just put the pencil down and forget it. I can’t force it. It has to come on its own,” she said. Like most writers, the poet says her mind is most active in the wee hours of the morning or at night. “Some of my best ideas come at 3 or 4 in the morning after having been asleep. I have to write them down or I will forget,” said Agnew. While the 78-year-old still enjoys reading, doing crossword puzzles and weaving words, she has decided to slow it down just a little. “I don’t write as much as I used to. My mind is not as clear as it was,” she admitted. Agnew’s writing has a universal appeal and is relatable to almost any reader. “I write about day-today living,” said Agnew. “Everything I write is true.” Making reference to her poem, “God and Tylenol”, the poetess explained she was well acquainted with both. “You name it, I have it ... a double knee replacement, arthritis and more. I am quite familiar with Tylenol and God too.” Retiring as a local United Way employee in

Doris Agnew 2004, Agnew was often enlisted by her friend Betsy Whitehurst to write poetry for the organization. She recalls how the muse struck her at work one day and gave her the initial idea to write “The Pilot Light.” “One day I came dragging into work.” Betsy said, ‘What’s the matter, Doris? You outta gas?’ I said, ‘I got plenty of gas, but my pilot light is out’,” said Agnew with a grin. In addition to writing poetry for United Way, Agnew has written pieces for her church, graduating class, friends and Fourth of July events in Jacinto.

“I went to a conference in Nashville once for three or four days,” said the former Rust College student. “It was awesome. I just loved it.” Her face was animated as she talked about her hometown. “I was born in Corinth. My mother’s family is from here and my father’s family is from the Houston, Miss. area,” she said. Readers are treated with local flavor and a taste of the Crossroads as they read her poem, fittingly entitled, “My Home Town.” Writing is therapeutic for Agnew. In fact, it has helped her get through

many dark days in her life. “I was sitting up with my aunt one night, feeling sorry for myself. I was having a pity party and I started thinking I was being silly. So, I told myself to stop crying and remember that I wasn’t the only one in a situation like that and some people have it much worse,” said the poet. Agnew once heard a trick for overcoming depression and decided to give it a try. “I’ve always heard if you take out a sheet of paper and list your troubles on one side and your blessings on the other, the blessings will far out-

weigh the troubles. It’s a fact,” said Agnew. This event lead her to write a piece called, “Thank You, Lord.” As a child, Agnew daydreamed a lot and always wanted to be famous. Though she never frequented the stage, she is certainly famous to those who know and love her. In closing, the poet offered advice to young writers. “The only thing I can say is write about something you know and don’t force it. I hate forced poetry. It doesn’t make sense,” said Agnew. “Do it naturally like telling a story or talking to a friend.”

Poems by Doris Agnew I Ain’t Old There’s an age revolution going on in the world Men want to be boys, women want to be girls It’s the saddest story ever told Nobody alive wants to be old A friend said, “Doris how old are you?” I said “I’m in the neighborhood of 52” She stood there a minute and looked at me good She said “Move honey you’re in the wrong neighborhood” I said “Look, I’m just pushing 53” She said “Looks more like you’re pulling it to me” I said “Ok, Ok, I’m 55” She said “Aw come on Doris, Don’t hand me that jive” I’m still in good shape, I don’t want to retire There’s snow on the roof, but the furnace has fire You’re over the hill when you’re 50 I’m told Well I’m over the mountain and I’m still not old.

The Preacher’s Wife Well, I up and married a preaching man. I wouldn’t marry another one for 10 acres of land I’ve got to stand round her while he tells everyone “Hi” And I’m so hungry I want to cry I’ve got to wait till he shakes hands with all the

misters Then wait till he hugs all the sisters. He’s got to meet with the deacons and check with the clerk He’s got to ask all the brothers what happened at work He’s got to talk with all the visiting preachers And discuss the lesson with the Sunday School Teachers. Feet killing me but he doesn’t care Says I’ll be through in a minute, just get you a chair Girdle’s so tight I can’t even cough I’ve got to sneak in the bathroom and pull it off. I wanted a dove but I got a pigeon That man’s bout to make me lose my religion Ladies I may not know you, I may never meet ya Please take my advice and don’t marry a preacher

My Home Town We have no amber waves of grain We have no purple mountains No canyons, deserts, fruited plains Nor sparkling crystal fountains No Broadway, no Fifth Avenue No flashing neon lights Just tree lined streets, warm hazy days

And starry moonlit nights There’re lakes and streams and babbling brooks And a river flows nearby Majestic oak trees that are so tall They seem to touch the sky Gray squirrels scampering to and fro Blue jays nesting in trees And the fragrance of magnolias Wafting on the evening breeze There are folks on creek banks fishing With homemade fishing poles And young boys meeting up with friends At rain filled swimming holes The countryside is dotted with farms The hills are alive with cattle There’s historic Jacinto Courthouse And reminders of a Civil War battle The best old southern cooking That you have ever seen The Slugburger and Hog Wild festivals Offer our unique cuisine So if you want to meet plain honest people No one of great renown We invite you to come and visit us In Corinth, My Hometown.

God and Tylenol Ya’ll this arthritis is a mess It’s giving me a fit.

If I’m sitting down I can’t get up. If I’m standing I can’t sit down. I asked my neighbors To tell me what to do. Here are some remedies I’m passing on to you. One woman said “Use Aspercreme. It doesn’t leave a scent.” Another one said “Honey! Get some Watkins Liniment.” A man said, “Use a heating pad And rubbing Alcohol.” But I found out, don’t nothing work like God and Tylenol. I was feeling fine the other day. I didn’t hurt at all. A friend called, we decided To go shopping at the mall. When I got back, I cleaned the house With Comet and Pine Sol. But late that night I had to call on God and Tylenol. I went to see a doctor To try and get some ease. The pain was just unbearable Especially in my knees he recommended Icy hot, Anacin, and Ben Gay. But if it wasn’t for God and tylenol, I couldn’t have made it today.

Because I Dreamed, I sleep Look what you’ve done to my dream young people,

look what you’ve done to my dream. I dreamed of a world where kids of all races Would walk hand in hand with smiles on their faces I dreamed of homes were fathers and mothers Would teach their children that all men are brothers Homes where parents would not spare the rod, And teach their children to trust in god. I dreamed of cities with no crime or confusion, Where you could lie in your bed without fear of intrusion. To walk down streets and fell safe and secure. Where violence and crime no longer endure. I dreamed of a nation with no segregation, No jealousy, hatred or discrimination. You’ve made this world a sin and degradation, With pornography, rap and other temptations. You lie and you steal, you rape and you kill. You stand on street corners and make your drug deals. I gave up my life so you could be free From prejudice and racism that used to plague me. Now I lie in my grave in shame and despair, ‘Cause you’ve turned my dream into a nightmare. Look what you’ve done to my dream young people Just look what you’ve done to my dream.

Graceland exhibit offers a glimpse into young Elvis BY ADRIAN SAINZ Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The telegram sent by Elvis Presley to his parents in November 1954 gives a glimpse into the young singer’s priorities and his optimism, as he begins what will become a career as a rock ‘n’ roll icon and cultural phenomenon. “Hi babies,” says the telegram, sent from Hous-

ton by Presley to his parents, Vernon and Gladys, who were in Memphis. “Here’s the money to pay the bills. Don’t tell no one how much I sent. Will send more next week. There is a card in the mail. Love, Elvis.” The note is being displayed in an exhibit at Graceland, Presley’s longtime Memphis home that today serves as a museum

and tourist attraction. The exhibit, which opened Monday, commemorates the 60 years since Presley cut his first record, “That’s All Right,” at Sun Studio in July 1954. It was played on the radio days later, and many believe its release marked the birth of mainstream rock ‘n’ roll. Along with the telling telegram, the “60 Years of Elvis” exhibit features

jumpsuits worn on tour by Presley and an organ he would play in his California home. There’s Presley’s copy of the original “That’s All Right” record — with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” on the other side — and the original contract Presley inked with RCA in November 1955 for a $5,000 signing bonus. Priscilla Presley said her husband was ner-

vous about how listeners would react to the song, which was played by influential disc jockey Dewey Phillips on his “Red, Hot and Blue” radio show on WHBQ a few days after it was recorded. “Elvis was really shy by nature — I don’t know if you all know that or not, but I do for sure,” Priscilla Presley said. Despite the flashy gar-

ments, confident onstage persona and sex appeal, Elvis was not one to boast about money. She said the phrase in the telegram asking his parents not to divulge the amount he sent is proof. To this day, it remains unclear how much he actually wired. “Enough to pay the bills, let’s just put it that way,” says Priscilla Presley, laughing.

Be open to other wedding ideas

Engagement

Once you announce your plans to get married, there’s a good chance that people close to you will be ready and willing to dispense their share of advice. Some words of wisdom will be priceless, while others you can store away for another day. When polling married couples, you will likely find they would change “this” or “that” about their weddings if given the chance to do it all over again. Here is some advice that you can choose to follow for your wedding day.

Tip #1: Trust your vendors

Kayla Kyle, Jeff Richardson

Kyle — Richardson Russell and Connie Kyle of Corinth announce the engagement of their daughter, Kayla Elizabeth Kyle, to Jefferson (Jeff) William Richardson, son of Harry and Lana Richardson of Ripley. The bride-elect is the granddaughter of Maxine Kyle of Corinth and Geneva Jones of Rienzi, and the late Lane Kyle and Frank Jones. Miss Kyle is a 2006 graduate of Kossuth High School and a continuing student at Northeast Mississippi Community College. She is employed by Region IV in Corinth. The prospective groom is the grandson of the late

Sunday, March 2, 2014

Lavaughn and Eula Davis of the Dry Creek Community and the late Jeff and Sarah Richardson of the Spout Springs Community. Mr. Richardson is a 2006 graduate of Pine Grove High School and a 2008 graduate of Northeast Mississippi Community College. He is employed by the Mississippi Department of Transportation and operates a small cattle operation. The couple will exchange vows on March 8, 2014, at 6 p.m. at the Crazy K Ranch in Michie, Tenn. A reception will follow. Friends and family are invited to attend.

Couples often have unique ideas for their wedding day. It may seem tempting to spell out what you want in minute detail and insist on wedding vendors carrying out your wishes to a T. But the smarter idea may be to give vendors a little more free reign -- after all, they are the professionals. “I had a vision in my head of what I wanted my centerpieces to look like,” offers Jean M., Connecticut. “I gave the florist my suggestions and the ‘feel’ of what I was trying to create, but ultimately I left the finished product up to her. When I walked into the reception hall and saw my centerpiece baskets overflowing with fall-hued flowers, berries and twinkling candles, I was so excited I had left it up to the expert.” When deciding on particular aspects of the wedding, you can give your general ideas, but

“When I walked into the reception hall and saw my centerpiece baskets overflowing with fall-hued flowers, berries and twinkling candles, I was so excited I had left it up to the expert.” Jean M. Bride from Connecticut leave the finished product to the professionals. Don’t list every song you want the deejay to play or micromanage all of the poses the photographer should take. After all, experienced pros have likely done this dozens of times in the past and could produce results you never dreamed possible.

Tip #2: Scale down Unless you are planning on auditioning for the show “Over-the-Top Weddings,” it might pay to make your wedding more about being personal and less about wowing the crowd with special effects and expensive treats. It’s easy to be lured into extra dinner courses or be persuaded to release doves at the ceremony, but will these extras impact your relationship or the life you will be building together? “If Ihad to do it all again, I would skip the dessert bar I had at my wedding,” says Alice C., Ohio. “The spread of pies, pastries, cookies, and chocolates certainly looked impressive, but it cost me a small fortune. Also, people filled up on the dessert bar so much,

they no longer had room to taste my special-ordered wedding cake.”

Tip #3: Don’t overextend Your wedding will hopefully be a once-ina-lifetime event. Therefore, couples often plan to spend a good deal of money to ensure their special day is perfect. Weddings are still viewed as a high-priority expense and most couples save for a long period of time despite sluggish consumer spending reports. According to the market research and analysis firm IBISWorld, nearly 60 percent of couples go over their budgets when getting married. Some do so at the risk of being in debt afterward. “It can be easy to get carried away in wedding spending,” shares Deirdre H., Michigan. “I went way over budget when getting my wedding gown and a few other components of my wedding. My husband and I struggled the first year of our marriage trying to fix our finances and battling a bad case of money-related stress.” Try to stick to a budget as much as possible so

Tip #4: Keep it in the family Selecting members of your wedding party can be challenging because there may be so many special people in your lives right now that you want to honor. Choosing a best man and a maid/ matron of honor is a large responsibility because these people stand out in the wedding. Although couples struggle with their choices and want to please everyone, your safest bet is to choose a family member. “I ended up choosing my best friend over my sister as maid of honor,” says Clara T., Arizona. “Although we were very close at the time, we’ve since grown apart due to work relocation. My sister and I, however, talk and hang out frequently. I regret not having asked my sister to be my maid of honor, considering hers is a friendship I know will last a long time.” Unless you don’t have close family members or your relationship with your siblings or cousins is strained, choose a family member to serve as best man or maid of honor. It is easy to be overwhelmed when planning a wedding, and couples can expect to be bombarded with advice. However, it could pay to heed the advice of couples who have already lived and learned from their wedding choices.

Think donating, recycling or reusing for a greener wedding Sometimes a wedding can be a testament to excess. In order to make an impression and please every guest, couples often go above and beyond with regard to food, favors, flowers, and much more at their weddings. At the end of the night, couples might be left with a good deal of food and other items that go to waste. That is, unless you donate the excess to someone who can use it. Leftover wedding food, flowers and wardrobes can be donated and make a difference in other people’s lives. By asking a few questions and doing a little legwork, you can turn items that would be discarded into something that goes on to help another person.

Food Food is one area of the wedding that’s often prepared in abundance, particularly for buffet-style

weddings. In order to keep chafing dishes filled and inviting, catering halls or restaurants may prepare much more food than is necessary. At the end of the night there’s plenty of leftovers. Some caterers have already contracted with food recovery groups to take leftover food and bring it to the needy. You can ask your caterer if they do so. If not, do an online search for a food recovery organization and find out how you can donate the remainders of your wedding feast.

Clothing Bridesmaid dresses and formal wear is seldom worn again, unless you are a person who has mastered the art of turning pink taffeta into a new ensemble. However, you may be able to donate a dress or suit to a consignment store or thrift shop, where it can be purchased

&RRNLQJ

and worn by someone who may not be able to afford an off-the-rack item. You can also consider donating it to an organization that provides clothing to the underprivileged. Some people offer wedding clothing for sale at deep discounts through newspaper classifieds or online, where it can also live on in someone else’s closet.

Floral arrangements Wedding centerpieces can last for several days before they wilt. While friends and family members may take some home, several centerpieces will likely be left at the end of the night. Think about bringing them to a hospital, hospice center or nursing home. The flowers can help brighten the day of others who are in somber settings. If you cannot find a place that will take them, consider dropping one or two of them off at the home of an elderly relative who might be confined to his or her home.

that you can enjoy yourself not only on the wedding day, but also long after the honeymoon has ended.

Bobby & Linda Sellers Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Sellers will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on March 7, 2014. There will be a reception in their honor on Sunday, March 9, 2014 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm at Central Baptist Church in Corinth, MS. All friends and family are cordially invited to stop by and celebrate this special occasion.

Provided your favors have not been engraved with a date or names, you may be able to return extras to the store. There’s also the possibility of making them available to a couple who is planning their wedding and is looking to cut costs wherever possible. Or, take the favors home and send one out to any person who gives you a gift or a card but wasn’t able to make it to the wedding. Weddings do not have to be wasteful. If you put your mind to it, you can find ways to reuse items featured on your big day.

Oscars: How we ended up with 9 best picture noms BY RYAN NAKASHIMA AP Business Writer

LOS ANGELES — Was it Lee Daniels’ “The Butler,” the folk rock bio pic “Inside Llewyn Davis,” or Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine”? We’ll never know which film might have been the 10th best picture nominee at this year’s Oscars. Ahead of Hollywood’s biggest night on Sunday, moviegoers may wonder why there have been only nine nominees for best picture the last three years — even though the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ rules allow for up to 10. It’s all part of a magic, complicated formula intended to choose the year’s best films, introduce an element of surprise, and minimize voters’ incentive to vote strategically, according to Rick Rosas, a PricewaterhouseCoopers partner who supervises the count. It allows for fewer nominees in years when sup-

port is weak for certain films. Movies that make the cut need a hard-core group of supporters as well as broad acceptance by voters who would rank it their second- or thirdbest choice of the year. “We want voters to be able to fully vote their conscience,” Rosas says, “not to worry, ‘My vote won’t matter for a particular film.’” Here’s how the bestpicture nomination process works. But we must also issue a spoiler alert: Stop reading now if you would rather not spoil the fun of the Oscars by trying to figure out one of the most complicated formulas devised by man. ■■■

Still with us? Good luck. The Academy’s 6,000 members are sent ballots and asked to rank their five favorite films of the year. Let’s say “Voter Jane” really loved “12 Years a Slave” but also thought “American Hustle,”

Cryptoquip

“We want voters to be able to fully vote their conscience, not to worry, ‘My vote won’t matter for a particular film.’” Rick Rosas PricewaterhouseCoopers partner ‘‘Philomena,” ‘‘Gravity,” and “Nebraska” deserved runner-up status. She’d mark her ballot ranking “12 Years” as No. 1, “American Hustle” No. 2 and so on. Here’s where the ballot counters come in. All the films are ranked according to how many first-place votes they received. Any that get over 9.1 percent of the first-place votes are automatically nominated. That ensures that no more than 10 nominees automatically make the cut. If 10 make it, then the counting is done. If there are fewer than 10, the ballot counters look for so-called surplus

votes. Any film that receives votes at least 10 percent above the 9.1-percent automatic nomination threshold will have the surplus votes re-allocated according to the voter’s second choice — or third choice if the second choice is already nominated. Each first-place vote for that popular film is given a lesser weight so the film barely crosses the threshold, and that ballot’s second-place votes help another film, to a lesser degree. So if “12 Years a Slave” received 10 percent of the votes, all of its firstplace votes are counted with a weight of roughly 0.9 votes, and all of the second-place votes on the

same ballot are redistributed to those films (like “American Hustle”) with a weight of roughly 0.1 votes. Another check is done to see if any films cross the 9.1 percent threshold. Next, films with less than 1 percent of the firstplace votes are eliminated and those ballots are reallocated according to the voter’s second choice — or third choice if the second is already nominated. Finally, all films with more than 5 percent of the votes are automatically nominated. If there are between five and 10, the counting is done. If there are more than 10, the films with the fewest votes are eliminated and their next-choice votes are redistributed until only 10 remain. If there are less than five, the counters start over and eliminate from the least vote-getters up, while redistributing voters’ nextchoice votes until only five remain.

■■■

Still with us? The actual balloting for best picture — completed this past Tuesday — is far less complicated: All voters are again asked to rank the nominees in order of preference — this year, that means from 1 to 9. If any film gets 50 percent of the first-place votes plus one, it wins. If not, the films with the fewest first-place are eliminated and those ballots are redistributed according to the voter’s second-, thirdand fourth-place choices accordingly. Either way, a film needs a lot of first-place votes from passionate backers, and a healthy standing as a second- and third-place pick in order to win. But as you can see, it really is an honor just to be nominated.

Oscar predictions: What will win and should win big awards BY JAKE COYLE & JESSICA HERNDON

Matthew McConaughey, “Dallas Buyers Club.”

AP Film Writers

Crossword

So those second- and third-place choices really matter, even if a voter’s first-place selection is extremely popular.

A seemingly endless movie awards season finally concludes Sunday with the Academy Awards. By now, many of the front-runners have established themselves, but the night’s big honor — best picture — remains a dramatic question mark. Associated Press film writer Jake Coyle and Jessica Herndon both see “12 Years a Slave” eking out the win. But they have plenty to say about not only who will win, but who should win and who should have been a contender.

Best Picture The Nominees: “American Hustle,” ‘‘Captain Phillips,” ‘‘Dallas Buyers Club,” ‘‘Gravity,” ‘‘Her,” ‘‘Nebraska,” ‘‘Philomena,” ‘‘12 Years a Slave,” ‘‘The Wolf of Wall Street.” COYLE Will Win: “American Hustle” feels too light — actors in wigs having a ball. And “Gravity,” for all its galactic splendor, lacks the force of a solid story. So it must be “12 Years a Slave,” the candidate with the heft of history. But make no mistake: There’s no certainty in this close contest. Should Win: “12 Years a Slave.” It’s an unforgettable odyssey, a reckoning of past movie portrayals of slavery and a uniquely unflinching tale of perseverance. Should Have Been a Contender: Few movies capture boyhood like Jeff Nichols’ soulful Mississippi River coming-of-age tale “Mud.” HERNDON Will Win: Since “Gravity” stood out as an innovative prodigy advancing visual and 3-D possibilities, it’ll clean up in the tech categories and will be crowned the night’s big victor. Should Win: “12 Years a Slave.” With its disturbing subject matter and factual significance, it’s the year’s most epic and vital narrative. Should Have Been a Contender: “Before Midnight.” A deliciously candid look at the dark and deeply romantic evolution of love.

Best actor The Nominees: Christian Bale, “American Hustle”; Bruce Dern, “Nebraska”; Leonardo DiCaprio, “The Wolf of Wall Street”; Chiwetel Ejiofor, “12 Years a Slave”;

HERNDON Will Win: McConaughey. He ditched vanity and became the favorite. But DiCaprio may just pull through with the win here. The academy loves to crown excess, even if an actor’s previous roles dug deeper. (We all remember Denzel’s win for “Training Day” — and his snubs for “Malcolm X” and “Philadelphia.”) Should Win: DiCaprio may not have abandoned his good looks for this role, but he was aggressive, hilarious and the hedonism made him repulsive. Should Have Been a Contender: Joaquin Phoenix, “Her.” Carrying most of his scenes solo, since Scarlett Johansson didn’t clock any physical screen time, he was the heart and soul of Spike Jonze’s gentle romance. COYLE Will Win: McConaughey. Hollywood loves a good comeback story. Should Win: Ejiofor. “12 Years a Slave” finds its strength in his deep eyes and commanding dignity. Should Have Been a Contender: Many were left out here, most incredibly Tom Hanks for “Captain Phillips.” But Mads Mikkelsen’s performance as a kindergarten teacher unjustly accused of molesting a friend’s child in “The Hunt” was a haunting portrait of a smalltown pariah.

HERNDON Will Win: Blanchett, as an unraveling upper class dame, was so pure and direct that her neurosis seemed instinctive. Should Win: Blanchett for her layered dethroned lady. Should Have Been a Contender: Julie Delpy. In “Before Midnight” she was the French everywoman: Nurturing, sensual, feisty and vulnerable.

Best supporting actor The Nominees: Barkhad Abdi, “Captain Phillips”; Bradley Cooper, “American Hustle”; Michael Fassbender, “12 Years a Slave”; Jonah Hill, “The Wolf of Wall Street”; Jared Leto, “Dallas Buyers Club.” HERNDON Will Win: Leto is exceptional and unforgettable as transgender Rayon. Should Win: Returning to acting after a six-year hiatus, Leto left nothing behind when portraying a prostitute dying of AIDS. He’s both bold and defenseless. COYLE Will Win: Leto is the surest bet of the evening. Should Win: Fassbender. He deserved nominations for Steve McQueen’s first two films (”Hunger,” ‘‘Shame”), so his larger body of work deserves honoring. Plus, how many rising-star heartthrobs would opt to play such an ugly plantation owner without letting on that it’s just an act?

Best actress The Nominees: Amy Adams, “American Hustle”; Cate Blanchett, “Blue Jasmine”; Sandra Bullock, “Gravity”; Judi Dench, “Philomena”; Meryl Streep, “August: Osage County.” COYLE Will Win: Blanchett’s modern-day Blanche DuBois is likely a shoo-in, so long as voters haven’t turned against Woody Allen. Should Win: Blanchett’s performance is the most complex here, playing a bitterly unlikable socialite both before and after her life falls apart. Should Have Been a Contender: The most naked (emotionally, though physically, too) performance of the year was Adele Exarchopoulos in the French drama “Blue Is the Warmest Color.” But what about Melissa McCarthy in “The Heat”? Is anyone funnier right now?

Best supporting actress The Nominees: Sally Hawkins, “Blue Jasmine”; Jennifer Lawrence, “American Hustle”; Lupita Nyong’o, “12 Years a Slave”; Julia Roberts, “August: Osage County”; June Squibb, “Nebraska.” COYLE Will Win: Lawrence. This could very well go to the awards season breakout star Nyong’o, but few don’t love JLaw, who would accomplish the rare feat of back-to-back years of Oscar wins. Should Win: Squibb. “Nebraska” needs her bite. HERNDON Will Win: Newcomer Nyong’o’s performance of tortured field slave Patsey was heartbreaking and haunting. Should Win: Nyong’o. She is dauntless. Though both Squibb and Lawrence were irresistibly charismatic.

Jumper Realty leads the way in economic development Jumper Realty & Associates is leading the way in the economic development of Alcorn County. The full-service real estate brokerage brings more than three decades of experience to major projects including the new Caterpillar logistics center on South Harper Road and is ready with the know-how to meet the needs of corporate and individual clients. A major project underway for the company is phase 1 construction of The Pinnacle, which will offer quality two- and three-bedroom rentals beginning in March. Located on a 9-acre site just north of the Alcorn Welcome Center, the development is planned to have three phases. When fully complete, it will offer approximately 40 units in an upscale apartment complex environment unlike anything currently available in the area. Construction is also continuing at Corinth’s newest subdivision, The Stones at Northtowne, and the company is planning a new shopping center development at the former Bar-None property, where the dilapidated building was demolished. Broker Doug Jumper and his company spearheaded the effort to construct Caterpillar’s logistics facility with an investment of $27 million. The 540,000-squarefoot center is leased from Jumper to Caterpillar. Job creation with the project is expected to be 35. The facility is the largest single construction project in county history and replaces six other smaller facilities in Alcorn and Prentiss counties. Full employment is expected to reach 115. In addition to working

with Caterpillar, Jumper has worked with Kimberly-Clark and other major employers in the region to support their development efforts. Jumper said he and his family believe in the future of Alcorn County, and they are putting their words into action by continuing to invest in the region. “I believe in Corinth. With the right leadership and a progressive vision it’s the next place for North Mississippi to grow,” he said. The combination of a talented workforce, convenient and accessible transportation system and the proximity to other major cities makes

the area ripe for growth, Jumper 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 are looking for. Jumper 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. The business office is located on Harper Road in Corinth and they serve clients throughout the region, including Alcorn, Tippah, Tishomingo and

According to owner Ray Patel, Twisted Spirits will match any competitors price with receipt any day of the week. But there’s no need to waste time with that, because the store at 1005 U.S. Highway 72 West in Corinth already has the best prices in town – guaranteed. The staff at Twisted Spirits always greets customers with a smile and the convenient location is the best in town. “I guarantee low prices and friendly service for everyone who walks in our door,” said Patel. “We also have easy in-and-out access.” Twisted Spirits opened for business on February 16, 2013, becoming one of the first stores to open in Corinth when liquor and wine sales were voted to return to the Crossroads area after a more than 20 year hiatus. “This market is not a fair market,” Patel said. “We have overcome several obstacles and are still standing. We see and overcome all adversities.” This has helped Patel secure a strong customer base with many loyal customers. “We love seeing new

customers come in our store, but those who come back are our favorite,” said Patel. From liquor, mixers and wine, Twisted Spirits offers just about everything. “Liquor is our specialty. We have a huge selection of rum, vodka, tequila, whiskey, schnapps, drink mixers and more,” Patel added. “Whether a person is looking for something classic like a Jack Daniel’s or something a little more off-beat like a Pinnacle Cucumber Vodka, a customer is sure to find what they need at Twisted Spirits.” The store has several aisles full of liquor options including 3 Olives, Absolut, Aristocrat, Bacardi, Belvedere, Buzzballz, Captain Morgan, Ciroc, Crown Royal, DeKuyper, Evan Williams, Fireball, Grey Goose and more. Drink mixers can take any cocktail to the next level, and Twisted Spirits is the one-stop shop for affordable varieties to mix with liquor. “Some are already premade and ready to drink, like Kahlua White Russian or Jose Cuervo Margarita,” Patel added.

Other options include 1800 Ultimate Skinny Margarita, Club Lime Margarita, Club Mudslide, Croctails Strawberry Daquiri, Croctails Mojito, DeKuyper Sweet & Sour and more. Twisted Spirits has a wide selection of fine wines ready to pair with dinner, hors d’oeuvrs or dessert. “We’ve got it all – pinot grigio, moscato, chardonnay, pinot noir, roscato, merlot and much more,” he said. “Plus, we’ve got special discounts on cases or purchases over $75.” Other wine options at Twisted Spirits include Andre Peach Moscato, Barefoot White Zinfandel, Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc, Barefoot Refresh Pink, Carlo Rossi Sangria, Carlo Rossi Rhine, Carlo Rossi Burgundy, Castello del Poggio Moscato, Sutter Home Merlot, Sutter Home Pink Moscato, Sutter Home White Zinfandel and Beringer Red Moscato. The store is open Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. (Connect with Twisted Spirits on Facebook or visit twistedspiritscorinth.com)

Big Boys Pawn, Guns & Gold has something for all Big Boys Pawn, Guns & Gold, Inc., isn’t the typical pawn shop. Owners Sammy Green and Vick Etheridge wanted the business to be something more. “We are a little different than most,” said Green. “We hope we have created an upscale pawn shop where anyone can come and shop … we want to offer something for everyone.” With a big inventory of guns, gold, musical instruments and computers, Big Boys has you covered. “We are fortunate to carry a good selection of guns,” said Green. “Our inventory changes daily … we also have a lot of tools and outdoor equipment.” The shop opened Nov. 5, 2012, at 82 Highway 72 East next to Captain D’s. “Our goal is to keep things that are popular,” said Green. Open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Big Boys has five full-time employees. “Our primary focus is to take things on loan as

Patients come first at Alcorn Physical Therapy At Alcorn Physical Therapy, patients are more than just a number on a chart. Since 1999, owners Mike and Ginger Stewart have treated patients with dignity, respect and compassion. “Our patients come first,” said Stewart. “We represent the people, that’s

who we are. I work for them, not the hospitals or the insurance companies.” Customers return to the local business because they are greeted with kindness, warmth and understanding. “Over half of our referrals come from our patients,” said Stewart.

Stewart understands how the medical system works and strives to ensure everyone is aware of their choices. “I want my patients to understand that they do have options. Often times, when a doctor orders physical therapy, they tell you which therapist to go

to. Legally, they are supposed to let you choose. I want everyone to know they can choose to come here,” said Stewart. The new year has brought many changes for the Christian facility. “We have added medical supplies, wheel chairs, diabetic socks and shoes,

prosthetics, orthotics and more,” explained Stewart. Located at 1708 E. Shiloh Road, Alcorn Physical Therapy offers neuropathy, therapy for joint, lower back and neck pain, as well as other services to help avoid surgery. “We are your neighbors, we love on our pa-

Med Supply Plus puts the patient first. “We tend to take folks home with us in this business,” said owner Ronnie Sleeper. “The rewarding part is being there for our patients and listening to their needs.” One way Med Supply Plus – in business for four years – is demonstrating its compassionate nature is through its mastectomy services. “We are bringing services to Corinth which haven’t been here before,” said Sleeper. “One thing we are working hard with is mastectomy fitting.” Med Supply Plus has two highly trained bra fitters in Korey Jarman and Natalie Kelley. “Our two fitters recognize not only the physical battle of these ladies, but also the emotional one,” said Sleeper of the 11 years combined experience of the two. Prior to the Shiloh Road business opening, women recovering from post-

worry about if someone outside in the lobby can hear what is being said.” According to the owner, Med Supply Plus can also assist patients with swimwear. “We have an assortment of styles and designs,” he said. “Whether it’s a bra or swimsuit, we want our patients to find something they like and are happy with.” Med Supply Plus also carries such quality equipment as wheelchairs, scooters, hospital beds, patient lifts, bathroom aids, seat-lift recliners, diabetic supplies and shoes and oxygen. Included in the customer-friendly service is an on staff registered pharmacist and respiratory therapist. “Our primary thing now is trying to grow the mastectomy side of the business,” said Sleeper. “The reaction from our patents has been extremely positive and they are happy we are here.”

Grace Curtis loves fashion ... and it shows in the selection of clothing and accessories at her downtown Corinth boutique, Andie Grace. “I hand pick every piece of clothing before I stock it,” said Curtis. “I stay upto-date on what’s hot in fashion and what the top brands are doing differently.” In 2013, after four years in the same location, Andie Grace moved one block down Corinth’s “main drag” to 413 Fillmore Street. After an extensive renovation and lots of new paint, she reopened the doors in what is now one of the most noticeable buildings in downtown Corinth. “We painted the building bright blue and aqua,”

she said. “I love the colors and it doesn’t hurt to be able to see the building from several blocks in both directions.” The building isn’t the only unique thing about Andie Grace. “We carry several unique brands,” Curtis added. “We make sure to have the latest name brands in fashion like Freepeople, Lucky, Miss Me, BCBGeneration, Kensie, True Grit, Peter Millar and more.” Customer service is important at Andie Grace. “I want every single customer to get the best experience when they shop,” said Curtis. “I believe we have the best customer service in town.” In the former Andie Grace location, Curtis has

opened a mens clothing store. “Our motto has always been, top brands in a small town,” said the business owner. “We plan to continue with that motto at our new mens store.” Andie Grace’s future is as bright as the color of their building. “We are planning on expanding our selection at both stores and adding a new storefront in another town this fall,” added Curtis. “We’ve also just launched our new website.” The website at shopandiegrace.com allows customers all over the country an opportunity to buy items hand picked by Curtis. “I’m real excited about our future,” she added.

+8*( Casabella Furniture continues growth progress since 1988 Casabella Furniture Inc. started in the retail business on Farmington Road in the old Potts Grocery Store building on March 25, 1988, with a big overhead of $300 a month rent payment to Arnell and Billie Grisham and maintenance on a 1987 F-150 pick up truck for deliveries. Scotty and Leonard Casabella were the only employees to pick up at the warehouse, set furniture on the showroom floor and deliver to the customers home, plus all maintenance

and bookkeeping. With no retail experience, they sold one living room suite the first week and two the second week. “Since that time we have not ceased to grow or gain experience in retail. Now, we are a major retail business located next door to the Walmart Supercenter at 2401 Harper Road.” Casabella’s has sold and delivered furniture from Little Rock, Ark., to Destin, Fla., not to mention Corinth and surrounding towns and

including the neighboring towns in Tennessee. “The people of Corinth and their neighbors have made Casabella Furniture what it is today and we thank and appreciate each and everyone of you for your business.” — Owners, Scotty and Patti Casabella (The store number is 662-286-3127. They are open Monday–Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.)

Wilson changes career, opens new business Tommy Wilson recently awoke to a realization. In order to continue to nurture Living Free Ministries, which is his life’s passion, he would have to make a change in his work life. He had been running 10 Subway restaurants, including the Corinth locations. “I could have continued what we were doing forever, but for Living Free to grow, I had to make a decision, so I left after 15 years,” he said. With his wife Marea, he opened the Sleep Studio Mattress & Furniture Gallery in October. It is a factory overstock business selling mattresses and some furniture. “The mattress busi-

“I could have continued what we were doing forever, but for Living Free to grow, I had to make a decision, so I left after 15 years.” Tommy Wilson Sleep Studio Mattress & Furniture Gallery ness has been good for us, too,” said Wilson. With the average household containing 3.7 mattresses, he figures it

should be a winner. The business has about 175 mattresses in stock in all imaginable sizes, including twin, full, king and queen. The spirit of Living Free extends into the business. In November, the store donated $100 to the Lighthouse Foundation Toy Store for every king and queen mattress sold. Wilson looks to do that again this year and is looking for other ways to support the community. “Our ministry is about helping people with addiction problems but also teaching people to be givers,” said Wilson. The business offers free delivery and removal of old mattresses, which

Wilson takes to the Lighthouse thrift store or holds to donate to fire families or others in need. “We’re big believers in giving back to the community in that way and helping people through struggling times,” said Wilson. Living Free, which is located behind Magnolia Funeral Home on High-

way 72, hosts a meal on Christmas Day for anyone who needs it. “We have a traditional Christmas meal and invite people who don’t have anybody to spend the day with or are down on their luck, or whatever,” said Marea. Members of Oakland Baptist Church, the Wil-

sons have two children — Preston, a freshman at Northeast Mississippi Community College, and Olivia, an eighth-grader at Alcorn Central. Located at 1209 Highway 72 West, Sleep Studio is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday.

Corinth Wine & Spirits, which recently celebrated its one-year anniversary, offers monthly wine dinners in conjunction with the Chop House restaurant.

Corinth Wine & Spirits expands, celebrates 1st year Last year, Allan and Kathryn Lee probably made one of the quickest business expansions ever. After opening Corinth Wine & Spirits on Shiloh Road, they immediately saw the need for more space and more inventory. “We didn’t have half of what we needed when we opened the store,” said Kathryn Lee. About two months later they moved across the street to the current location at 3116B Shiloh Road. Now, they are helping local residents expand their palates. In conjunction with the Chop House restaurant, the business is offering monthly wine dinners that give an opportunity to sample a number of varieties. “What we are trying to accomplish with the wine dinners is exposing people to wines that they wouldn’t normally try,” said Chef John Mabry. “They get exposed to five

different wines and sometimes six, depending on how many courses we are doing.” The wines are served alongside dishes such as lamb, duck and quail. A knowledgeable sommelier is on hand to discuss the selections and answer questions. “We are very careful to use wines that are afford-

able,” said Mabry. “There are so many great wines now that are between $10 and $30 a bottle.” A reservation is required and can be made through the restaurant or store, but it’s open to anyone and is not a “stuffy” affair, assures Mabry. The store carries all of the featured wines, which typically focus on a partic-

ular region at each dinner. On this particular day, Mabry was anticipating a menu for the next dinner that would include wines from South America. The store’s wine selection has about tripled from the beginning. “It is a compliment to Corinth that people have expanded their palate to such a diverse selection of

wines,” said Mabry. As customers shop for their favorite varieties, the Lees want to provide a comfortable environment with the best customer service. “Our goal was to have a warm, inviting place to come,” said Kathryn Lee. “That’s why we did the wood floors and the warm colors and the wood wine racks.” Corinth Wine & Spirits opened Feb. 8, 2013, becoming the first to get into the business upon liquor’s return to legal status in the city for the first time since 1989. The store was overwhelmed with business on that Friday evening and for the next few weeks. Friends jumped in to help work the register and sack purchases. “We had thought people would just come in and look around,” she said. They are grateful for the community’s support. “We were both very ap-

prehensive with two children in the Corinth school system, with Kathryn being a former school teacher and me making my living in the community, whether there could have been bad ramifications,” said Allan Lee. “We have found that not to be the case.” With a location convenient to Tennessee and particularly Pickwick traffic coming into Corinth, the store is drawing substantial business from neighboring areas — they estimate as much of 40 percent of customers live outside Corinth. Overall, the business “has exceeded our expectations, thanks to loyal customers,” he said. With an exciting and challenging first year behind them, the Lees are looking forward to many more years helping keep Corinth in good spirits. Corinth Wine & Spirits is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

ing to the manager. “We can’t open to the public every day because we are going full blast loading and unloading furniture to ship,” said Ethridge. “Monday through Thursday is really busy for us.” That doesn’t stop the new retail store from delivering top items at a great cost. “Our motto has been to ‘provide the community with a great product for the best value,’” said Ethridge.

Gardner’s — a premier hometown grocery store For more than 48 years, Gardner’s Supermarket has been the Crossroads area premier hometown grocery store. A lot of things have changed since Jimmy Gardner opened his first store in 1965. Computers have replaced order sheets, touch screens have replaced cash registers, buildings have been remodeled and Quality Stamps are long gone. A couple things haven’t changed. Gardner’s continues its family tradition and is dedicated to providing the best products at the lowest prices and the best customer service in town.

Early years Jimmy got groceries in his veins at a young age. He started working as a bag boy at Pages Big Star in Tupelo when he was just 15 years old. In 1960, he was transferred to a Pages store in Meridian where he worked his way up to assistant manager. While in Meridian, he met a young girl named Peggy. They were married in 1961. After moving to Corinth in May 1965, Jimmy purchased the JR Franks store located in one of five buildings in the vicinity of the present day Pennzoil Quick Service Oil Change on U.S. Highway 72. “We had only two check-out stands along with a produce, meat and grocery department. There was also an ice house on the west end,” Peggy said as she remembered the layout of the original store. “There were gas pumps covered by a roof extending from the front of the store. It was large enough to drive under and park allowing customers to quickly run inside for a few things.” Within a year after opening, the roof was torn down and the gas pumps were removed. The store got a face lift, a new name and a new exterior sign ... Gardner’s Supermarket was born. Jimmy spent the next 10 years expanding. In 1967, he opened a store in Kossuth. He purchased Rogers Supermarket on Cass Street in 1969. Today, the family still operates Rogers in the same location. “Jimmy partnered with Sonny Lancaster in 1969,” Peggy added. “For about 12 years they operated Shopezy Supermarket in Walnut.” In 1971, the family started construction of the present day Gardner’s Supermarket. A grand opening and ribbon cutting was held in early 1972. In 1984, the building under went remodeling project to add more selling space and a larger warehouse.

Having each other’s backs “Family has always been very important,” Peggy said. “We have three great sons - Mark, Brian and Jeff, their loving wives and five amazing grandchildren.”

with an re-grand opening ribbon cutting and tribute to Jimmy Gardner. Mark and the team had spent most of the year remodeling the front entrance of the Highway 72 staple.

A front porch was added complete with rocking chairs and planters featuring seasonal flowers. At the ceremony, the Gardner family and long time employees rubbed elbows with customers, friends and fans. Presenters talked about the small town grocery store run by friends and neighbors since 1965. “Dad’s been gone for 10 years,” Mark said to the audience. “But his yellow ads, family values, friendly service and traditions will continue for many years to come.” (Connect with Gardner’s Supermarket on Facebook, Twitter and at gardnersupermarket. com)

New food labels would highlight calories and sugar Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Those â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nutrition Factsâ&#x20AC;? labels on nearly every food package in grocery stores are getting a new look. Calories would be in larger, bolder type, and consumers would know

whether foods have added sugars under label changes proposed by the Obama administration Thursday. Serving sizes would be updated to make them more realistic. A serving of ice cream, for example, would double to a full cup, closer to what

people actually eat. The proposed overhaul comes as nutritionistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; views have shifted. While fat was the focus two decades ago when the labels first were created, there is now more concern about how many calories we eat. And serving sizes have

long been misleading, with many single-serving packages listing multiple servings, so their calorie count is lower. The idea isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that people should eat more; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that they should understand how many calories are in what they are actu-

ally eating. The Food and Drug Administration says that by law, serving sizes must be based on actual consumption, not ideal consumption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our guiding principle here is very simple, that you as a parent and a consumer should be able to walk into your local grocery store, pick up an item off the shelf and be able to tell whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for your family,â&#x20AC;? said first lady Michelle Obama, who joined the Food and Drug Administration in announcing the proposed changes at the White House. Mrs. Obama made the announcement as part of her Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Move initiative to combat child obesity, which is celebrating its fourth anniversary. On Tuesday, she announced new Agriculture Department rules that would reduce marketing of lesshealthful foods in schools. The first lady and FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said one of the aims of the new labels is to make them less confusing for harried parents shopping at the grocery store. Hamburg called the revision â&#x20AC;&#x153;a more userfriendly versionâ&#x20AC;? of the current label. The new labels are probably several years away. The FDA will take comments on the proposal for 90 days, and a final rule could take another year. Once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final, the agency has proposed giving industry two years to comply. The FDA projects food companies will have to pay around $2 billion as they change the labels. Companies have resisted some of the changes in the past, including listing added sugars on the label, but the industry is so far withholding criticism. The Grocery Manufac-

turers Association, the industry group that represents the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest food companies, did not respond to any specific parts of the proposal but called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;thoughtful review.â&#x20AC;? President Pamela Bailey said in a statement that it is important to the food companies that the labels â&#x20AC;&#x153;ultimately serve to inform, and not confuse, consumersâ&#x20AC;? but did not elaborate. It was still not yet clear what the final labels would look like. The FDA offered two labels in its proposal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one that looks similar to the current version but is shorter and clearer and another that groups the nutrients into a â&#x20AC;&#x153;quick factsâ&#x20AC;? category for things like fat, carbohydrates, sugars and proteins. There also would be an â&#x20AC;&#x153;avoid too muchâ&#x20AC;? category for saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, sodium and added sugars; and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;get enoughâ&#x20AC;? section with vitamin D, potassium, calcium, iron and fiber. Potassium and vitamin D are new additions, based on current thinking that Americans arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting enough of those nutrients. Vitamin C and vitamin A listings are no longer required. Both versions list calories above all of those nutrients in a large, bold type. The proposed rules would also overhaul serving sizes for soda and single-serving packages. Both 12-ounce and 20-ounce sodas would be considered one serving, and many single-serving packages â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a bag of chips, a can of soup or a frozen entree, for example â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would either be listed as a single serving or list nutrient information by serving and by container.

Down South Collection getting national recognition In the last two years, the Down South Collection has grown from a dorm room idea into a nationally recognized brand. Allie Winters, an Ole Miss college student, started the apparel and accessories company in 2012 to share her love of the South with the world. “I have a passion for all things Southern and want to share our way of life with everyone,” Allie said. “We provide a quality product with a comforting feel of Southern hospitality.” Down South Collection apparel can be found at retailers in seven states. “If a person has Southern roots, no matter where they live now, they’re still a Southerner at heart,” Allie added.

Allie, along with her mother Cyndi and sister Rachel, has built the brand from scratch. Allie is the creative visionary and keeps the company evolving and growing. Cyndi keeps the business and shipping side of Down South Collection running. Rachel is the fashionista and keeps the company up-to-date on all the latest trends. “Together we make a great team,” said Allie. The collection of apparel features southern sayings and recognizable art. Down South’s signature high-quality t-shirt features the company logo and is highlighted with a silhouette of a crane. Other shirts feature

antiqued pictures of Pickwick Lake and mason jars. One of their best sellers feature the saying, “Down South - Where SEC Football is a Religion.” Another favorite features, “Life is Better below the Mason Dixon.” The company has experienced brisk online sales on Etsy and their website at downsouthcollection.com. In 2013, the group opened their first retail store on Fillmore Street in downtown Corinth. Allie has big plans for the future. “We hope to keep growing the brand and expanding our product line,” she said. “We’re having so much fun sharing the South with everyone.”

Taylor’s provides quality, dependability folks expect 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 57 years later, the business is now owned by his sons, Joel, Dennis and Dan. “While others working out of their house have come and gone, we have been right here for 57 years, selling and servicing quality Carrier equipment,” said 40-year company president Dan Taylor. 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 contractor’s license.” Commercial work over the past couple of years has included systems at Belk, the Women’s Center and Alcorn County Chancery Building.

The Crossroads Arena and First Baptist Church in Corinth are two of the larger commercial jobs installed by Taylor’s. 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 17-ton 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 equip-

ment,” 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 factory-trained service technicians are regularly trained to keep them up to date. The business is proud of its long association with Carrier, inventor of the air conditioning unit and the world’s largest air conditioning manufacturer. “They have a product that’s been tried and proven,” said Taylor. “With the correct installation, you should have the top of the line as far as the heating and air condition-

ing of your home.” 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. A periodic service check is a good idea. “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. “The technology has changed in that the units are made more efficiently now,” he said. “The design, the operation, is still pretty much the same since Willis Carrier invented the air conditioning unit.” “One of the changes we’re seeing now is the shortage of Refrigerant 22 and eventual complete phaseout,” said Taylor. “They are going to a newer ozone-friendly refrigerant called R-410A, which Carrier calls Puron. All of the air conditioning units made after 2010 will have this new refrigerant.” “They are also, of course, looking at efficiency to try to get more bang for the buck and make them where the utility bills will be less expensive.” 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. “Through our commercial projects we have maintained our work force and managed to continue providing the service our customers are used to receiving,” said Taylor. “Our plans are to continue to provide quality Carrier heating and cooling with engineered installation for total customer comfort.”

Northeast at Corinth opened at its current lo-

cation on South Harper Road in 2006, in what once was the old Garan garment factory facility. The first phase of renovation included the WIN Job Center, two classrooms, two multipurpose rooms and several offices and conference rooms. In 2008, Phase II was completed. This included additional classrooms, a library, a student break area, a science lab, a parttime bookstore, and additional offices and conference rooms. Currently, approximately 52,000 of the 75,000 square feet building is developed and in use. “Area business and industries frequently utilize the campus for training and testing purposes, at

no cost,” Mattox said. Being a true community One-Stop center, Northeast at Corinth has many on-site partners who offer a variety of services. The WIN Job Center, the Mississippi Highway Patrol Driver’s License Office, the Northeast Mississippi Law Enforcement Training Center and the Senior

Community Service Employment program have offices located on-site. “We are proud of the partnerships that allow us to expand our services in the Corinth and Alcorn area,” Northeast president Johnny L. Allen said. Northeast at Corinth offers several different training programs, in-

cluding academic classes, adult basic education and GED training, and many other types of basic skills and computer training. Additionally, a new partnership with Blue Mountain College allows area residents to complete a four-year degree through BMC on the Corinth campus.

Improvements coming to Corinth Sportplex A new look to some old areas. The Corinth Sportsplex has made several and is in the process of doing more cosmetic changes to the facility. One of the major improvements the facility is undergoing is getting the old gym ready for more activities. “Some new ideas are coming to a few old places,” said executive director Shane Casabella. The green outdoor carpet in the old gym has been taken up and will be replaced with a sports court in a few weeks. “This will allow us to bring youth basketball back to the gym,” said Casabella. “We also plan on having Futsal indoor soccer and a volleyball club using the area.” The indoor baseball part of the facility is being moved to the Dr. Frank Davis Memorial Gymnasium. Half of the gym is also being used for gymnastics. “By fixing the old gym we can reach more families,” added the executive director. “Everything we do should be used for multiple purposes.” Drs. John and Nick Dodd have pledged to make a big contribution in dressing up the old gym. A new-look lobby has been part of the renovations. Plans to fill in the pool are still on schedule. “We hope to have it filled in and replaced with two outdoor volleyball courts by the summer,” said Casabella. “The challenge has been paying off old debt, managing daily costs, then making improvements.” “Shane has done a great job,” added board member Chris Porterfield. “He had to come in here last year and reorganize everything.” Another improvement is the change back to the Dixie Youth brand of baseball for the first time in several years. “This year we plan on hosting more base-

Hurley, a former longtime director of the facility, is an advisor to the Sportsplex. Members are able to enjoy some of the best equipment around in the weight room. The weight room consists of all Hammer Strength and Life Fit-

ness equipment. Child care is also something new to the Sportsplex. A room formerly used for ladies cardio has now been made into an area for those age five and under. “There are no signup fees or contracts in our memberships,” said Casabella. The membership plan seems to be working just fine as it has gone from over 200 last year to 400 this season. “Eighty of those have come in the last month,” added Powers.

On hand were (from left) Lynn Gibson, vice president of enrollment services at BMC; Dr. Sharon Enzor, vice president of academic affairs at BMC; Dr. Barbara Childers McMillin, president of BMC; and Dr. Johnny Allen, president of NEMCC.

Blue Mountain College offers courses in Corinth Another new era begins for Blue Mountain College on March 8 when accelerated classes in religion are offered at the Northeast Mississippi Community College campus in Corinth. “We are excited about the opportunity to make the BMC experience accessible to students in Corinth and the surrounding areas,” said Dr. Barbara Childers McMillin, president of the 140-year-old college, and an alumnae of Northeast. “By bringing selected programs to Corinth, we hope to enable students to acheive their dream of completeing a college

degree without having to travel far from their homes, families and work,” added the Falkner native. The first four courses to be offered are: • Introduction to Education (Education 216) • Survey of Learners with Exceptionalities (Education 350) • Introduction to Christian Proclamation (Religion 305) • Introduction to Christian Ministry (Religion 352) BMC is already looking forward to the fall semester when it plans to add more courses on the Corinth campus. Lynn Gibson, vice

president of enrollment services at BMC, said the college is already looking toward making its newer programs more available, including classes in Corinth. “We are committed to meeting the needs of business and industry,” said Gibson, who was registrar at Northeast for 10 years prior to joining the BMC staff in January. Not only will the traditional classroom experience be offered, but BMC is taking advantage of cyberspace to offer degrees. “We want to increase our scope with completely on-line programs in business and psychology and

big push for the upcoming fall semester. This will give us time to assist students with financial help and to get our course offerings set.” Blue Mountain is excited to announce its plans to offer both undergraduate and graduate programs at the Corinth center. “If students have not

considered BMC in the past, they really should take a look now. What they will find is a college that is progressive and poised for growth,” added Gibson. (For more information contact the BMC Admissions Office at 662-6854771 extension 166, or by email at admissions@ bmc.edu.)

Brose Autoplex: ‘It’s people you know’ Someone you know. Each time one enters the doors of Brose Autoplex, they will find a friendly face. “We are about employing local people you know,” said Grant Brose, president of the dealership at South Parkway and Highway 72. “We feel it’s an advantage when you come here and deal with someone you know.” The business’ roots trace to 1977, when Marvin Brose purchased a dealership in southern Ohio. When he began searching for a new place to build a business, he was drawn to Corinth’s size and potential for growth. In 1987, he and his sons, Greg and Grant Brose, opened the current location as a General Motors dealership. The Brose family is deeply involved in day-today operations, striving to give customers the best experience while also being good neighbors in the community. “There isn’t a lot of dealerships where you can come and talk with the owner,” said Grant. “At Brose, we are a people business.” Brose Autoplex has some exciting plans for 2014. “The big news for 2014 is a major renovation to the dealership building,” said the company president. “Basically, our new showroom will feature Nissan and Chrysler entry elements … it will be a front-end and back-end makeover.” Brose expects the project to take 6-8 months. “It’s not going to be a brand new building, but it will be a really great addition and much better for everyone,” he said. The dealership also has some new products com-

are coming out with and that’s good news for the consumers,” he said. Brose has an inventory of the all new redesigned with Nissan Rogue. “We just got in the all new Rogue and they are right there with Altima as being our number one seller,” said Brose. The newly designed Murano will be coming this fall.

An excellent service department is also a part of the Brose way. “Our Nissan Quick Lube Oil Change has really been a big success,” said the dealership president. “No appointment is necessary, just walk in and we can have you out in about 30 minutes.” Those looking for a good deal on a new vehicle can find one pretty

quick in today’s market. “The rates are some of the lowest I have seen in years,” said Brose. “It’s a buyer’s market on new vehicles and we are loaded with inventory.” Brose also has what customers are looking for when it comes to preowned vehicles. “We have a pretty diverse inventory,” said Grant. “We think outside

of the box and have a lot of GM and Ford preowned models … you can find about 150 pre-owned vehicles in stock.” Rental service is another way the autoplex puts its customers first. “Most don’t realize we are in the rental business,” added Brose. “That end of the business continues to grow and has been a good thing for us to offer.”
