Closed bridges list is in the works BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com
Mississippi Department of Transportation officials are working to compile a list of bridges closed by federal inspectors. District 1 Transportation Commissioner Mike Tagert told the Daily Corinthian they are aware of the closure of more than 100 bridges in the state
last week and are connecting with other agencies to put together a list of those affected. He noted all the closed bridges are on local roads, not state highways. “We’re still trying to get an accurate list of those bridges,” he said. Tagert said they are working with the Office of State Aid
Road Construction to gather the information. State Sen. Willie Simmons, chair of the senate’s Highways and Transportation Committee, announced the closures on Friday in Jackson. However, he did not provide a list of the closed bridges. Engineer Carey Webb with the state aid office told the
Associated Press his office is working on a list of the affected bridges after teams from the office visited bridges with low rated substructures with federal inspectors. The bridge announcement comes as the state legislature considers options for increasing funding for bridge and highway repair. A bill that would have
raised transportation funding through a sales tax on Internet purchases recently died in the Senate. A bill remains alive in the House of Representatives that would allow the state to borrow $50 million to fund repairs. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Fish, fellowship on menu Campaign finance,

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com
Bringing food and fellowship to the community, the Easom Outreach Foundation’s Fish on Friday has become a tradition in the Crossroads. Held from 4 to 6 p.m. each Friday at the Easom Community Center, located at 700 South Crater Street, in Corinth, the popular event brings together people of all ages to break bread and fellowship. The menu features homecooked vittles like Mississippi farm-raised catfish, French fries or roasted potatoes, coleslaw or salad and hush puppies. Side items on the menu tend to vary (with the exception of the fish) but are always accompanied by decadent desserts like lemon and German chocolate cakes to cap the meal. “Initially fried catfish dinners were just one of the arbitrary menu offerings that Chef Ben served occasionally, but people enjoyed it so much we decided to offer it every Friday,” said EOF Chairman Samuel Crayton, Jr. “Traffic has really picked up on Friday, some families purchase

Another major deadline elapsed this week in the Mississippi legislature. Tuesday marked the latest deadline during the threemonth session as the final day for the House and Senate to act on general bills that had first passed the opposite chamber. Most bills that survived the deadline are going back to the originating house, which can seek negotiations to iron out differences or concur in changes and send the measure to Gov. Phil Bryant for his approval or veto. Tax and spending bills are alive under a later deadline and have yet to pass the second chamber. Some of the alive and dead bills include:

Medical maggots help heal Iuka burn victim BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com
The word “maggot” may bring up negative images for some, but there are certain kinds that are helpful in modern medicine and one area resident has proclaimed the benefits. When one thinks about modern wound care, one may not immediately think maggots would be part of the treatment, but Iuka resident Nellie Wilemon said maggot therapy saved her life. Wilemon’s ordeal began on Christmas Eve as she was baking a turkey. She said the turkey was fully cooked and she was
Campaign finance - HB479 and SB 2689 - Politicians would face new limits on using campaign donations for political expenses such as clothing.
They also would be required to disclose details of how they spend campaign donations using credit cards. “The Senate version included a grandfather clause exempting campaign accounts created before the bill would go into effect and provided more specific definitions that would clarify the bill,” said Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo). “We compromised on this bill with their version by inserting language from our campaign finance bill.” Carpenter said the change Please see BILL | 5A

Wilemon was in the hospital for several days and then was a home health patient afterward. She said her burns were not healing and an emergency room nurse at the hospital in Iuka told her about the Magnolia Wound and Hyperbaric Center of Excellence. It was there that Wilemon said the maggot therapy was recommended.

Nissan accused of barring union activity at plant BY JEFF AMY Associated Press
JACKSON — The United Auto Workers union charges that Nissan Motor Co. broke federal labor law less than two days before a Mississippi rally where U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders plans to speak in favor of unionization. The UAW said a company security guard wrongfully stopped workers from handing out literature and asking fellow employees to sign cards authorizing a union vote outside a gate of the Canton plant Thursday afternoon. A union lawyer emailed an unfair labor practice charge to the National Labor Relations Board late Thursday. It’s one of several now pending over the union’s yearslong campaign to represent some or all of the 6,400 people who work at the complex. Sanders, a Vermont independent, told The Associated Press in a phone interview Friday that pro-union workers are fighting an uphill battle against an unfairly hostile company. “I think the workers in the Nissan plant in Mississippi have shown an enormous amount of courage,” the former
candidate for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination said. “When people stand up and fight for their rights, it’s important to stand with them.” Federal law says workers can talk about a union on a company’s property, as long as they do it before or after work or during breaks, and in non-work areas such as parking lots or break rooms. Nissan said the company is investigating but isn’t sure yet what happened. Spokeswoman Parul Bajaj notes that unions often file unfair labor practice charges during organizing campaigns. “Nissan abides by U.S. labor law and respects the employees’ rights to choose if and how they wish to be represented,” Bajaj wrote in an email. Nissan spokesman Brian Brockman denied that the company is improperly pressuring workers, although he acknowledges that the company talks to workers about the UAW. A plantwide video recorded last year by a union supporter shows a top manager saying the company doesn’t believe UAW representation is in Nissan’s best interests.
Correction Former Alcorn County legislator and jail consultant Irb Benjamin was sentenced Friday to a total of 70 months for a bribery case. The first paragraph of the story in Saturday’s paper should have stated he received a nearly six-year sentence. Iuka attorney Tacey June Clark, 53, has been charged with two counts of arson and one count of DUI maiming. Her name was misspelled in Saturday’s front page story.

ton. If you are interested in the program or if you know someone that may qualify, please pick up an application at the Community Center during program hours and return to the same location. The applicant will be contacted and interviewed to assess their qualifications for the program. “Fish sales on Friday during the ‘Hot Meals’ operation has been a consistent revenue generator and only require that the Foundation add one or two volunteers to handle the increased traffic, “ he added. Corinth resident Shirie Felks is a regular face in the cafeteria since she visits daily to pick up a plate for her elderly mother. “I have been doing it for about a month now and I think it is great,” she said. “Everything is really good and home cooked. Even the cakes and icing are made from scratch.” Felks said she learned about the Hot Meals after her sister checked into it. “Our mother had to quit driving about three or four months ago, so getting a plate each day is a big help,” she said. Jean Walker couldn’t agree more. “Are we doing okay? You bet your boots we are,” said Walker who has been on the program for about five months now and heard about it through word of mouth. Alvester Gillard also expressed his appreciation for the program. “I got on it shortly after my wife died and have been on it for about four years now,” he said. “It has been great.” Longtime volunteer Charlie Betts is just one of the many who dedicate their time to serving others. “It’s good to give something back to the community,” he said.
as many as three or four dinners to carry home for their family.” Though most choose to carry-out, Crayton says he misses the days when the cafeteria was filled with chatter and laughter as guests enjoyed time with their friends, neighbors and even strangers. He hopes to see the neighborly dining return. “People used to dine in and enjoy a time of fellowship, for many it was the only personal contact they had for the day, further noting that a few still dine in from time to time, Over half of our clients are not ambulatory and a friend or family member pick up their meal.” In addition to the hot meals for qualified clients, meals are also sold to all comers for $6 daily. Side items for the day can be purchased at set prices. Proceeds from all sales are used to further the Hot Meals Program. Dinners are also available from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday for the same price. The kitchen is open a half hour longer on Friday to accommodate traffic sales. Each Wednesday throughout the year the menu is repeated with different soups in the winter months and various salad dishes in the summer. Supported by the Alcorn County United Way Services and supplemented by Easom’s Community Garden, the Hot Meals program currently serves 32 individuals in our community who may not receive a daily hot meal if not for this program. Qualified clients are served a hot meal Monday through Friday. “All clients in the program are over 55, with a disability that prohibits them from preparing a hot meal for themselves”, said Cray-

Today in History Today is Sunday, March 5, the 64th day of 2017. There are 301 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On March 5, 1867, the Fenian Rebellion took place in Ireland as thousands of members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood launched an attempt at overthrowing British rule; the poorly-organized rising was swiftly put down by British and Irish authorities.
On this date: In 1770, the Boston Massacre took place as British soldiers who’d been taunted by a crowd of colonists opened fire, killing five people. In 1868, the U.S. Senate was organized into a Court of Impeachment to decide charges against President Andrew Johnson, who was later acquitted. In 1927, “The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place,” the last Sherlock Holmes story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was published in the U.S. in Liberty Magazine. In 1933, in German parliamentary elections, the Nazi Party won 44 percent of the vote; the Nazis joined with a conservative nationalist party to gain a slender majority in the Reichstag. In 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his “Iron Curtain” speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, in which he said: “From Stettin in the Baltic, to Trieste in the Adriatic, an ‘iron curtain’ has descended across the continent, allowing police governments to rule Eastern Europe.” In 1953, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin died after three decades in power. Composer Sergei Prokofiev died in Moscow at age 61.

Across the Region Booneville City among top five places to retire in state BOONEVILLE — Booneville was recently ranked among the top five places to retire in the Magnolia State. In the third annual study of the best places to retire in each state by the financial technology firm SmartAsset, the City of Hospitality ranked as Mississippi’s fourth best city for retirees. “I was very excited to see the results of Booneville being listed in the fourth position in the annual study of the Best Places to Retire in Mississippi. I feel that our great community of caring and hospitable people played a major part in Booneville ranking so highly on the chart. And, of course, we are so blessed to have the Baptist Memorial Hospital, where those looking to make sure their medical and health needs are taken care of and the Northeast Mississippi Community College, where those looking to take educational courses have an opportunity to take advantage of several educational offerings at our local college. Booneville is a great place to live, work, and retire with local citizens working together towards “Building Booneville Better’,” said Booneville and Prentiss County Main Street Association Executive Director Trudy Featherston.
The company uses a computer program to rank cities in each state based on a variety of factors including the number of doctors’ offices, recreation centers and retirement centers per capita, state and local tax rates and the percentage of senior citizens in the population.
Booneville Rape suspect arrested while applying at PCSD BOONEVILLE — The Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department received a report of a rape on Tuesday, Feb. 28 which was said to have occurred the night before. After the reporting female signed an affidavit, a warrant was issued and Byars the suspect was arrested. In a bazaar twist of irony, the suspect actually showed up at the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department asking for a job application while the female was reporting the rape. This is when the suspect identified as Caleb Matthew Byars, 22, of County Road 8461 in Booneville was taken into custody by Deputy Dewayne Mink. Byars was also charged with domestic violence/simple assault. Judge Richard Tollison set bond at $25,000.00. Byars
is currently out on bond. The case will be presented to the next Grand Jury.
Selmer Habitat for Humanity to host annual event SELMER — McNairy County Habitat for Humanity is extending an invitation for all residents to join them for a funfilled evening with friends and neighbors. Presented from 5 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 28 at the Selmer Civic Center, located at 230 North 5th Street, the 13th Annual Taste of McNairy will cater to all palates. Admission to the familyfriendly event is $10 per person. Children 6 and under will eat free. (For more information, call Judi Masnburn at 731-6459384 or Joe Schicke at 731610-9088.)
Pickwick Group to host energy workshop for teachers PICKWICK — The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s (TDEC) Office of Energy Programs will hold a no-cost summer Energy Education Camp at Pickwick Landing State Park. The threeday educational sessions will provide educators with information and resources needed to
teach about energy and energy conservation in the classroom and how to involve students in service learning projects that promote environmental stewardship. The camp will be held June 20-22. K-12 educators can apply online to participate in the summer camp. “TDEC is happy to offer this resource to local educators,” said Molly Cripps, Director of TDEC’s Office of Energy Programs. “Energy conservation has major impacts for our environment and our economy, and this is an important message to pass along to the next generation of consumers.” Educators selected to participate will be provided with complementary lodging and meals, and will receive energyrelated classroom materials valued at $200. Applications are available online at https:// www.tn.gov/environment/ article/energy-k-12-tennesseeenergy-education-network and are reviewed on a first-come first-served basis. The deadline to apply is April 7, 2017. While a school may be represented by one educator, it is highly recommended that a team of two educators from a school attend. TDEC’s K-12 Energy Education Camps are funded in part by the U.S. Department of Energy’s State Energy Program. For more information, contact Angela McGee at angela.mcgee@ tn.gov or 615-532-7816.

Our View
Legislation preserves 2,100 acres in key areas While most of the national media attention this week focused on President Donald Trump’s speech before Congress, some legislation was passed which didn’t get much attention but was of great importance to the Crossroads area. We speak of H.R. 88, the Shiloh National Military Park Boundary Adjustment Act. U.S. Congressman Marsha Blackburn made the announcement. She represents the 7th District of Tennessee, which begins in Shelby County and extends across the southern counties all the way to Hardin County and Shiloh. This legislation incorporates some of the pivotal areas of the Battle of Shiloh that lack adequate preservation, including the battlefields at Fallen Timbers, Russell House, and Davis Bridge into the Shiloh National Military Park so that they may be preserved for future generations of Americans to experience. It will give the National Park Service the authority to preserve more than 2,100 additional acres in those three key areas. Fallen Timbers is sometimes called the third day of the Battle of Shiloh as retreating Confederates attacked Union forces in pursuit. Davis Bridge in Hardeman County is sometimes called the third day of the Battle of Corinth as Union forces engaged retreating Confederates after an unsuccessful attempt to take control of Shiloh. The Battle of Shiloh, fought on April 6-7, 1862, celebrates its 155th anniversary this year. The park has many activites planned on April 5-8, including the “Flames of Remembrance” from 6-10 p.m. on Saturday, April 8. Over 23,000 luminaries will be glowing in honor of the men who were killed, missing or injured after the battle. It will be really something to experience. “The legislation will ensure the legacy of the sacrifices made at Shiloh will be preserved for future generations to appreciate and experience,” said Blackburn. “Over 500,000 people visit Shiloh each year. Expanding the park to include these battlefields will create an even stronger incentive for people to visit the area and learn about Tennessee’s rich history.” Well said. It is our hope more visitors to Shiloh will lead to more visitors to Corinth.

Prayer for today My Father, my soul sinks with shame when I think of the great moments that I have given over to mean little things. Help me that I may reckon more on the value of time, and live not to tolerate life, but to have a great need for it, that day by day I may have a deeper consciousness of its appropriate use. Amen.
A verse to share And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. — Colossians 3:17

Trump reinvents himself For Republicans who have been concerned that President Trump has not been specific about his policies and about where he wants to take the country, Tuesday night’s address to Congress and the nation was a welcome relief. For liberals, however, it was a problem precisely because he offered specifics. Before the speech, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) repeated the familiar and overused claim that Trump wants tax cuts for wealthy Americans at the expense of the middle class. Is that the best he and his aging fellow Democrats can do? Re-runs should be limited to summer TV shows. While the Democrats remain frozen in a time warp of their own making, Trump’s speech was focused on solutions and full of optimism for a change. Finally gone were the dark utterances of the campaign about the sad shape of the country. This time the country heard positive solutions, even when Trump mentioned nagging problems, such as violent crime in our cities. To address
that issue, he has named a Department of Homeland Security task force. To the Cal p r o b a b l e Thomas surprise of the left, the Columnist president responded to criticism that he had not said much about recent attacks on Jewish cemeteries, saying “we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all of its very ugly forms.” He even referenced Black History Month, reminding his audience that while civil rights progress has been made “much remains to be done.” Democrats joined Republicans in applauding that line. Throughout the speech Trump asked for unity and for the parties to work together in the country’s interest, not their partisan interests. Good luck with that. He touched on familiar themes — removing immigrants with criminal backgrounds and not allowing what he called “a beachhead of terrorism” to form inside
America, taking “strong measures to protect our nation from radical Islamic terrorism” and immigrant vetting. “It is not compassionate,” he said, “but reckless to allow uncontrolled entry from places where proper vetting cannot occur.” He pitched school choice as a civil rights issue and introduced Denisha Merriweather, an African-American woman in the gallery, who Trump said failed third grade twice before being given a tax voucher to attend a better school. She eventually became the first in her family not only to graduate from high school, but from college. She will earn a master’s degree in social work later this year. Donald Trump reinvented himself with this speech. Instead of the harsh and condemning personae he projected during the campaign and his first 100 days, the president displayed kindness, compassion and a love for America. Americans want their president to love the country and Trump gave them that. “My job is not to represent the world,” he said. “My job is to represent the
United States of America.” At the end he said, “The time for small thinking is over” and he called for “trivial fights” to be left behind. Glimpses on the faces of congressional Democrats, especially the frozen visage of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, does not offer much hope this will happen. Having run out of ideas, opposition is all Democrats have. In an interview before the speech, presidential historian Jon Meacham told Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly: “Great presidents don’t govern from their base, but from their base plus.” President Trump may have added some plus to his base with that speech. Most Americans prefer optimism to pessimism and vision to uncertainty. Donald Trump promised to pivot from campaigner to president after he was inaugurated. It took him a little more than one month, but Tuesday night he made that pivot and it was pleasing to watch and soothing to the ear. Now the question is can he keep it up?
The end of Reaganism In the course of a few days, President Donald Trump showed how thoroughly he has conquered conservative activists and the Republican Party. At the Conservative Political Action Conference, the attendees would have carried him in on a litter if they had been afforded the opportunity, and Republicans applauded everything he said in his address to the joint session of Congress. The GOP reaction to Trump’s speech was one of the night’s fascinating subplots: Would Republicans applaud protectionism? Of course. Would they give a standing ovation to an infrastructure program that would have had them scowling in disapproval if President Barack Obama proposed it? Yeah, why not? Would they enthusiastically greet talk of paid family leave and investments in women’s health? By all means, sign them up. Trump’s ecstatic reception from the right over the past week is testament to the sheer gratitude of the GOP rank and file that Trump, against all expectations, vanquished the House of Clinton. Something more fundamental is going on, though.

We are witnessing the end of Reaganism, and among the very people who were Rich supposed to Lowry be most supportive of it. National This doesn’t Review mean that Trump and Congress won’t pursue conservative policies — tax cuts, a defense buildup and deregulation all have a distinctly Reaganite ring — but the defining commitment of Reaganism to cutting the size of government is clearly fading. If this commitment was always easier to enunciate than to effect, the aspiration was nonetheless important. Neither Ronald Reagan nor Newt Gingrich succeeded in paring back government, but they slowed its growth. And limited government was an organizing principle for the right. This year at CPAC, Steve Bannon offered a different principle. He posited that nationalism unites the right, and that limitedgovernment conservatives are just one element of the broader coalition. This view encapsulates the change
wrought by Trump -- in part because Reaganism had become so stale. The conventional Republicans in the 2016 primary race hewed to Reaganism as a creed frozen in amber circa 1981. It didn’t need significant updating; it just needed reassertion — with feeling. They were too rigid, too insular and too nostalgic. They were beaten by someone who was none of those things (actually, Trump was nostalgic, but not for the Reaganism of the 1980s). Whereas they mistook all of America for a CPAC ballroom, Trump existed outside the ideological consensus of the GOP and picked up on issues that didn’t enter the worldview of politicians obsessed with the glories of the 1980s, like wage stagnation. Trump took his heterodox mix of policies, won the election and then could show up at CPAC and in Congress —venues where he was largely disdained 12 months ago — and bask in the adulation of eager Republican converts to Trumpism. This Trumpism is still a work in progress. As expressed in his speech to the joint session, it is a jumble

of populism (the dominant strand, with its emphasis on protectionism and immigration restrictionism), conventional GOP priorities (tax cuts, deregulation, etc.), and Ivanka-ism (family leave, women’s health). The only thing that doesn’t fit is limited government. Trump wants both guns and butter, a military buildup and nationbuilding at home. He is not overly concerned with how to pay for this, or for his tax cut. Social Security and Medicare, an enormous swath of the budget, appear to be off-limits. The risk is that Trump may give us the rhetoric of Andrew Jackson, with the fiscal discipline of Lyndon Johnson. Yet no one can be certain where this is headed. It is possible that the Republican majorities in Congress will impose more fiscal restraint on the president than he is inclined to impose on himself. And the staying power of Trump’s reorientation of the right will depend much on the success or failure of his administration. Perhaps Reaganism, one way or the other, will emerge again, although for now, its former guardians and enthusiasts have fallen hard for something else.

Cast named for CT-A comedy BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
From family drama to total farce, a screwball comedy is the latest workings from Corinth Theatre-Arts. The local playhouse will feature Broadway sensation, “Lend Me A Tenor” during the first week of April. Director Bryan Essary announced his cast selection earlier this week and is excited about a show that is guaranteed to leave audiences tearyeyed with laughter. Tickets are now on sale for the show set for 7:30 p.m. on April 7 and 8 and at 2 p.m. on April 9. Tick-
ets are $6 for students and $12 for adults. The play is a farce, set in September of 1934, the play opens to find Saunders, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company is primed to welcome the world famous, Tito Morelli, II Stupendo, the greatest tenor of his generation, to appear for one night only as the lead role in Giuseppe Verdi’s “Otello”. The star arrives late and, through a hilarious series of mishaps, is given a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out. His pulse is so low that Saunders and his as-
sistant Max believe he’s dead. In a frantic attempt to to salvage the evening, Saunders persuades Max to get into Morelli’s Otello costume and fool the audience into thinking he’s II Stupendo. Max succeeds admirably, but Morelli comes to and gets into his other costume to perform. Now two women are running around in costume and two women are running around in lingerie, each thinking she is with II Stupendo. “This is a well-loved play that we’re really looking forward to seeing what Bryan and this cast can do with it,” said
CT-A board member Josh Steen. “This show is a great way to close out our adult season.” The cast includes Randy Duke as Henry Saunders, Cody Daniel as Max, Leah Petty as Maggie Saunders, Dan Marsh as Tito Merelli, Jenny Jordan as Maria Merelli, Rebekah Hope Fontaine as Diana, Lesley Petty as Julia, and David Frost II as Bellhop.

would transfer more authority to the Mississippi Ethics Commission and clarified situations in which campaign funds would not be allowed for use. Blue Lives - HB645 Crimes committed against police officers, firefighters or emergency medical technicians would carry higher penalties. Death penalty - HB638 - Mississippi would add to the list of drugs it uses to carry out lethal injections. The state also would be authorized to have other methods of execution as backups, including the gas chamber and the electric chair. Dyslexia funding - HB 1046 - Students with dyslexia would get public money to attend private schools focused on the learning disability in grades K-12, and could take the money to border areas of neighboring states. Some opponents have warned the bill could open the door to widespread vouchers, which could hurt public school funding. Government vehicles HB938 - Most state agencies would be banned from buying vehicles for one year. Governor’s power -
HB 1425 - The governor would gain review power over rules set by a wide range of boards and commissions. Mental health - SB 2842 - Creates mental health diversion pilot programs and standards for mental health intervention. Lobbyists - SB 2632 Lobbyists for state agencies couldn’t be paid with public funds. Breast cancer detection - SB 2006 - Mammogram providers will be forced to alert patients of dense breast tissue that may cause problems in the future. Currently, patients simply receive information about whether the test was positive or negative without being alerted that there may be tissue that indicates possibility of future complications.
Dead Internet sales tax HB480 - Would have codified requirements that online retailers collect taxes on sales and would have devoted such taxes to roads. Attorney general HB555 - The Mississippi attorney general would have had to seek permission from the governor, lieutenant governor and secretary of state before filing any lawsuit that
might carry an award of at least $250,000. Currently, that would limit the power of the lone Democrat in statewide office. State employees HB974 - About 75 state boards and agencies would have been exempted from Personnel Board rules for three years, taking away as many as 20,000 workers’ civil-service protections. Early voting - HB228 The state would have had no-excuses, in-person early voting, starting 14 days before an election. Current law only lets people vote early if they will be out of town Election Day. Online registration - HB 373 - Would have allowed first-time voters to register online instead of having to use a paper form or appear at a government office. Testing limits - HB 866 - Would have limited schools to three days of statewide testing and 20 days of districtwide testing in any one year. Education rule waivers - HB 1224 - Would have exempted A-rated and Brated school districts from some state Department of Education rules. Rep. Nick Bain (DAlcorn) had authored an amendment that

MAGGOTS CONTINUED FROM 1A
Terina Devore, Physical Therapist, WCC, CWS at the Wound Center, said maggots are routinely used in wound care where it’s needed, and a if a patient is willing, particularly where a patient has a lot of necrotic (dead) tissue. What the maggot therapy does is considered Biosurgical Debridement, Devore explained. “I can’t think of any patient who wouldn’t have it done after we give them the information and they read about it. Eventually, they agree if we recommend it for them,” she said. Devore said they receive their maggots from one place and they are sterile, medical grade maggots from Monarch Labs in Irvine, Ca. Since the treatment, Wilemon has nothing but praise for the Wound Center and Devore in particular. “All of them have done everything to help me get well. I was so glad I found out about them,” she said. “It was amazing. I’d never heard of it before. I just want people to know about it.” Wilemon said the burns on one side of her foot are cleared up to the point that one would never even know there was a burn. She said the wounds on the other side were too deep, but she seemed both surprised and pleased with the results. She continues treatment at the Wound Center for other wounds. She is diabetic and she said this had caused issues with healing for her. This is where the The Wound Care Center comes into play. As, per information regarding the facility, they are dedicated to and focused on the treatment of patients with chronic non-healing wounds resulting from a variety of causes, including diabetes and vascular disease. The maggots used for
Wilemon’s treatment come from Monarch Labs. Information regarding maggot therapy can be found online. Per information regarding the lab, in maggot debridement therapy, germ-free (”disinfected”) larvae of therapeutic fly species (”medical grade maggots”) are used to treat and manage wounds in a procedure known as “maggot therapy.” The maggots are applied to the wound for two or three days within special dressings to keep the maggots from migrating. Since medicinal maggots cannot dissolve or feed on healthy tissue, their natural instinct is to crawl elsewhere as soon as the wounds are clean, or the larvae are satiated. The scientific literature identifies three primary actions of medical grade maggots on wounds: They debride (clean) the wound by dissolving dead and infected tissue with their proteolytic, digestive enzymes; They disinfect the wound (kill bacteria) by secreting antimicrobial molecules, by ingesting and killing microbes within their gut, and by dissolving biofilm; They stimulate the growth of healthy tissue. The information from Monarch Labs states that “not all species of flies are safe and effective as medicinal maggots. The flies used most often for the purpose of maggot therapy are ‘blow flies’ (Calliphoridae); and the species used most commonly is Phaenicia (=Lucilia) sericata, the green blow fly. Monarch Labs’ Medical Maggots are a specific strain of P. sericata that has been tested for safety and efficacy over the course of 12 years.” The Magnolia Wound & Hyperbaric Center of Excellence is run by Dr. Pizzimenti. Patients do not need a referral and they treat all kinds of wounds.

Trump cries ‘wiretapping’ BY DARLENE SUPERVILLE AND JULIE PACE Associated Press
PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump on Saturday accused former President Barack Obama of tapping his telephones during last year’s election, lodging a startling allegation of abuse of power without evidence or explanation. An Obama spokesman declared the assertion “simply false.” In a series of angry morning tweets, Trump suggested his predecessor was behind a politically motivated plot to upend his campaign. He compared the alleged events to “Nixon/Watergate” and
You!
662-287-6111
“McCarthyism!” He called Obama a “Bad (or sick) guy.” Trump’s claims drew bipartisan rebukes from Democrats and Republicans alike who find his habit of venting on social media to be beneath the office of the president. After delivering a well-received speech to Congress earlier this week, the tweets reflected the president’s growing frustration with the swirling allegations about his advisers’ ties to Russia, which are under FBI investigation, and his team’s inability to overcome them. Trump lashed out at his senior team during an Oval Office meeting Friday, according to one White
House official. The White House did not respond to questions about what prompted the president’s accusations that Obama had tapped his phones. Presidents cannot legally order wiretaps against U.S. citizens. Trump said Saturday morning he had “just found out” the information, though it was unclear whether he was referring to a briefing, a conversation or a media report. The president has in the past tweeted about unsubstantiated and provocative reports he reads on blogs or conservative websites.

Kansas tax hike appears inevitable TOPEKA, Kan. — A big tax increase for Kansas appears inevitable as the state wrestles with budget problems. Even many Republicans are focused on rolling back past income tax cuts that are GOP Gov. Sam Brownback’s biggest political legacy. GOP moderates were working with Democrats in both chambers. A state Supreme Court ruling this week that the state isn’t spending enough money on its public schools only bolstered many lawmakers’ support for raising income taxes. The court directed legislators to enact a new school funding law by June 30 without setting a spending target. Figures lawmakers are circulating involve hundreds of millions of new dollars. Democrats and moderate Republicans already were looking at boosting income taxes to close projected budget shortfalls totaling more than $1 billion through June 2019.
Families upset over polluted water PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — More than 1,500 people who live and work around a redeveloped air base in New Hampshire have learned their blood contains elevated levels of a chemical that has been linked to potential health problems. PFCs are found in everyday products like no-stick cookware and resistant carpet. Their presence in the water at Pease International Tradeport has been

linked to firefighting foam used at the site when it was a military base. The base is one of 20 nationwide where the Air Force found PFC contamination and is either treating the water or providing drinking water. That number could grow as the Air Force examines 190 bases for contamination.

Magistrate Judge James Donohue, the National Conference of Governors of Mexico expressed support for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and said its members are confident that the American court will fully observe Daniel Ramirez Medina’s “right to liberty.” Ramirez, a 23-year-old Mexican, was detained on Feb. 10 by agents who initially came to arrest his father, identified as a previously deported felon. Ramirez has no criminal history and twice passed background checks to participate in the federal program. Federal agents said he admitted to having gang ties. His lawyers deny it.
High-speed rail set to lay some track SACRAMENTO, Calif. — After years of prep work, Gov. Jerry Brown’s finance department decided Friday that California’s $64 billion high-speed rail project is ready to lay some track. The administration approved the rail authority’s request to spend $2.6 billion on work in the Central Valley. The decision lets the authority ask the state treasurer’s office to sell a portion of the nearly $10 billion in bonds voters approved in 2008 for a bullet train. The bullet train’s longterm prospects remain clouded because of uncertainty over funding. Significant federal help is required, and the Republican-controlled Congress does not support the project. Private money also is needed but none has been secured yet.

Men sentenced for killing black bear MERIDIAN — Three men have pleaded guilty to violating the Endangered Species Act after killing a Louisiana Black Bear. U.S. Attorney Gregory K. Davis and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Special Agent in Charge Luis Santiago said Friday that Travis Butler of Meridian was sentenced Feb. 28 to five years of probation, with five months of home confinement for violating the act and obstructing a federal investigation. Authorities also sentenced David Wimberly, of Quitman, and Chester Williams of Toomsuba, for assisting in the killing that occurred in January 2014. Wimberly and Williams each received one year of probation, a $1,000 fine and a one-year probation from hunting. Williams also was sentenced to four months of home confinement.
Pledge will help tornado recovery HATTIESBURG — William Carey University in Hattiesburg has received a pledge of $2 million from the nonprofit Asbury Foundation to help with recovery from a tornado. The Jan. 21 tornado destroyed several buildings on Carey’s campus and damaged many more. Recovery is underway, and students returned to campus in February. Tommy King, the president of the Baptist university, told the Hattiesburg American that the Asbury money would be used to cover any shortfall between insurance coverage and the actual
cost of rebuilding. King had said the university would not apply for federal funds for rebuilding because of the delays in getting the money and the restrictions that might be put on a religious institution like Carey if it used federal dollars.
Casino bids for pool with shark tank GULFPORT — The developers of a proposed Gulfport harbor casino want to build an outdoor pool with a shark tank. The Sun Herald reports the Golden Harbor Casino Resort & Spa has met its requirement to show $40 million in funding by Feb. 28 and has submitted plans with the city to build a casino, high-rise hotel, parking garage and pool on 10.7 acres on the west side of the public harbor. The shark tank is listed as a tie-in to The Mississippi Aquarium, which the city is planning to build across from the harbor. The total project is expected to cost $140 million. Kentucky-based Encompass DDC submitted the plans on behalf of Mississippi Coast Entertainment, the limited partnership leasing 10.7 acres for a harbor casino from three property owners.
Two sentenced for conspiring to steal JACKSON — Two men have been sentenced for conspiring to steal merchandise from a U.S. Customs warehouse in Madison County, Mississippi. U.S. Attorney Gregory K. Davis said Friday that U.S. District Judge Daniel Jordan III sentenced 52-yearold Richard Harper, of Clinton, and 57-year-old Andrew Sneed, of North
Las Vegas, Nevada, on Thursday. Harper was sentenced to two years, three months in federal prison and Sneed was given five years. Both were also ordered to pay $1.4 million in restitution to Levi Strauss and Company and its insurance company. On July 4, 2015, federal prosecutors say Harper and Sneed conspired with others to steal longhaul trailers full of Levi’s merchandise. Several hundred palettes of merchandise were taken.
Museum to display civil rights photos ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Mexican-American photographer Maria Varela was present at some of the most dramatic moments of the Civil Rights Movement, capturing images of voting rights demonstrations in Alabama and efforts to create Head Start programs in poor, rural areas. As one of the few Latinas involved in the black Civil Rights Movement, historians say, her work has often been overlooked. Now the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago is set to feature 28 images from the Albuquerque resident’s rarely seen photography of the movement at an exhibition called “Time to Get Ready: Fotographía Social.” “You can tell she wasn’t just someone who dropped in and photographed what happened. She was part of what was happening,” said Cesareo Moreno, the museum’s visual arts director. Moreno said the exhibit will cover Varela’s work from Mississippi marches and voting rights battles to photographs she took of Chicano activists fighting to get Spanish land grants recognized in New Mexico.

Funeral home carries on long tradition of caring, compassion BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com
Carrying out the last wishes of the recently departed, Magnolia Funeral Home has crafted a reputation of caring, concern and compassion. Founded by five local businessmen – Clayton Leroy Brown, Charlie Browning, Jim Calvary, James L. Cornelius and James C. (Jim) Johnson, the funeral home strives to maintain the legacy and values started by their establishers 24 years ago. Courteous and considerate in their acts and deeds, the staff at Magnolia treats grieving families as they would their own and does their utmost to steer them through even the most turbulent times in life. “We’re really concerned about serving people and ministering to them during their bereavement,” said Greg Woodruff, who was recently promoted to manager. “Our plans going into the future are to continue what we have done in the past.” “Our customers entrust us to care for their loved ones with dignity and respect,” he continued. “We go above and beyond to ensure the deceased are honored and given a proper service and burial.” Lightening the burdens of those left behind, the dedicated funeral directors and other employees are always ready to roll up their sleeves and do whatever is needed. With over 1,000 followers on Facebook, the funeral home is also proud of their social media presence.
Magnolia Funeral Home Owner Jim Calvary congratulates employee Greg Woodruff on his recent promotion. Woodruff now serves as the Manager of the funeral home. “Every Wednesday, we go live on Facebook with a word of encouragement,” said Woodruff. “Nothing negative, just something positive and lighthearted to brighten everyone’s day.” “I try to have an idea of what I would like to do ahead of time and strive to do something different each week,” he added. “I plan it out, but choose not to script it because I want it to be spontaneous and real.” Now responsible for daily general operations, the former funeral director has been in the funeral industry for 24 years. “He joined our staff of licensed professionals in December of 2014 and has been an asset to our firm,” said owner Jim Calvary. “We are thrilled to be able to promote him to this position.” Locally owned and operated, Magnolia Funeral Home has proudly served Alcorn County and surrounding areas since 1993. “We offer discounted funeral merchandise packages for veterans and their spouses,” said the
manager. “We strongly support our veterans and pride ourselves on doing things that reflect their time of service.” Realizing that true comfort comes only from God, the staff at Magnolia endeavors to do all things for His glory. “Our staff see our jobs as a calling. It’s what defines us,” said Calvary.
“That’s why families who trust us to help them honor their loved ones will receive more love, care and support than they ever thought possible.” “With over 150 years combined local funeral experience, our staff understands that each family is unique and has personal requests and traditions. These requests and traditions are of the importance to us. We fully understand that our future rests upon the quality of service we provide our families, the compassion we extend and the promise to provide dignified funerals in a warm atmosphere of genuine love and concern.” (For more information, call 662-286-9500 or visit www.magnoliafuneralhome.net.

Friend going for new look now looks 20 years older D E A R ABBY: I have a friend in her mid40s who has naturally dark hair she keeps Abigail cut short. It fine. Van Buren looked A few m o n t h s Dear Abby ago, she bleached her hair platinum blond. She said she was going for a look that will include dark roots, but she has kept the roots platinum, so now her hair just looks white -- especially in pictures. She posted photos of herself with her boyfriend on Facebook, and while I was scrolling down, my initial reaction was, “Who is that elderly woman he’s sitting with?” A mutual friend commented to me how bad my friend’s hair looks and how aging it is. Should I mention to her that her hair color makes her look 20 years older? Telling someone her hair doesn’t look good can be hurtful, but if it were me, I’d want to know. -- HELPFUL IN HAWAII DEAR HELPFUL: Be diplomatic, but tell her. A tactful way to lead in would be to say you saw the pictures she posted on
Facebook and the platinum hair makes her look “older.” However, unless she asks how much older, don’t volunteer, because if you say it’s two decades, she may take offense.
son at the window was pleasant and helpful, either give the workers a couple of dollars or the loose change that’s returned to you. However, a tip is not required.
DEAR ABBY: What is the rule for tipping in drive-thrus? I never thought a tip was necessary in places like that. If the service is good, a tip is warranted. Now many drive-thrus have a tip jar out on the ledge of the window. It’s like everyone seems to think they deserve one. A tip is expected when you get your vehicle inspected, your tires changed, your oil changed, manicures and hairstyling, among other things. How much is appropriate to tip for services? I certainly don’t want to devalue someone’s service if times have changed and this is commonplace. -- DRIVE-THRU TIPPING DEAR DRIVE-THRU: For restaurant servers, hairstylists and manicurists, a 15 to 20 percent tip is expected. The same is true for taxi drivers, hotel personnel and skycaps. In other situations, a tip may be offered when the service performed has been exceptional. If the service you received at the drive-thru was prompt, your order was correct and the per-
DEAR ABBY: A woman friend of mine is angry at me because I have started dating a mutual friend of ours. She says when someone wants to date someone’s friend, the polite thing to do is ask how the friend feels about it. Mind you, the man I’m going out with isn’t her ex and was as good a friend to me as he was to her. If I had discussed the matter with her, what difference would it have made? She doesn’t own him. Does her logic make sense to you? -- FREE AGENT IN TEXAS DEAR FREE AGENT: No. Your “friend” has no prior claim on the man you’re dating. That she would try to insert herself into your romantic life makes no sense, and you would be foolish to allow it. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll feel as if you’re the judge in court with feuding parties trying to convince you of their correctness and the other’s wrongdoing. If you can avoid issuing a decision, it’s advised. Your best role will be neutrality or absence. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You felt free before you knew there are unspoken rules governing this place. You’ll look around and wonder what you shouldn’t say. As long as you’re paying attention, you’ll get every social cue. You’re good this way. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve learned a lot, and you’re still learning. So what if you have a long way to go? As with all far-off destinations, you’ll cover many, many lands between here and there. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be wrestling questions about exactly what and how much you should create, endeavor and endure for the team. And though you’re not a selfish person, being clear about what’s in it for you will help to guide
your decisions. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The down time isn’t really leisure as far as you’re concerned. You’re using it to set yourself up for a successful week. You’ll do less than you had planned but more than you’ve done before, so give yourself props! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re not oblivious to the vibes that are zinging around today like some you know. When a person likes you, you figure it out fast. You’ll manage the attention well, too! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Adaptability is one of your strong suits, but be careful with your bendy ways. Maybe your way really is best for all. If you believe this, you’d be doing the others a disservice by depriving them of your strong stance. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Power can present itself in numerous guises, most notably in a gracious, soft-spoken voice. This is the strongest way power will show up today; its requests and warnings are best heeded.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you dare to follow a different road, it will take a great deal of courage, trust and a willingness to be different. But it will still be easier to do this than to try to turn an old situation in a new direction. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When is the right time to be assertive? There may be no perfect moment to request the thing that’s going to make the situation better for you, but the longer you think about it without saying it the more awkward it will get. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You love humanity, and right now you are likelier to become interested in a whole series of people for platonic and intellectual reasons than you are to settle in easily with just one person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you delve deeply into a hobby and take steps to move to the next level of proficiency, this may cost you. However, ultimately your relationship with money, work and/or your body will improve as a result.

Plaza Lanes owners David and Sherre Curry stand together in front of the counter they’ve been manning for many years. David has worked for the bowling alley for 50 years but has owned it since 1979.
‘Bowling Alley Man’ celebrates 50 years BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com
For 50 years, David Curry and Plaza Lanes have been inseparable. Curry and his wife Sherre are permanent fixtures at the historic bowling alley and entertainment center on Shiloh Road in Corinth. Literally hundreds of thousands over the years have entered through the double glass doors at the entrance and enjoyed not just bowling but billiards, air hockey, video games and more. And it would probably be a safe bet to say that most patrons have slipped money into the nostalgic jukebox and played their favorite songs dozens of times. The bowling alley first opened for business in August of 1960 under the name Gateway Lanes, the company that originally built and owned the business for the first five years of its existence. The father/son combination of Noel and Ralph Strickland took over in 1965 with Noel as the owner while Ralph managed the daily business affairs. At that time, Gateway Lanes became Plaza Lanes and a city fixture was established. In March 1967, a Corinth High School junior walked in to apply for a part-time job. Mr. Ralph hired the young man who would eventually take over as owner in 1979. That young man was David Curry, better known to his friends as Kidd Curry because of his pension to kid people and pull pranks. He still goes by that moniker in the bowling leagues, where he still competes multiple times a week. And still owns a 200-plus average. But owning a bowling alley wasn’t what Curry had in
mind when he graduated from Corinth High School in 1968. He had his eyes and mind set on a career as an educator. He graduated from Northeast with a two-year degree in 1970 and then from Delta State in 1972 with a BSE degree in math with a teaching certificate. He was hired for his first teaching job in the fall of 1972 at Alcorn Central, where he stayed only one year before a one-year stint at Hardin County High School in Savannah. Then in 1974, he was hired by the Corinth School District to teach advanced math, geometry and chemistry. And speaking of chemistry, sparks flew when Curry met his future wife Sherre in 1974 when she was working as a beautician just a block and a half from where David was. His old friend John Treadway played cupid. They were a year apart in school but had never met. They were married in 1975. Then in 1979 something special happened that changed Curry’s life completely. All the while he was going to college and teaching, he still worked part-time for Plaza Lanes, first for Strickland and later for Sam Rizutti, who bought the business from Strickland in 1969. “As a teacher, I was bringing home a certain amount of money that really didn’t pay all the bills without part-time work,” Curry said. “I came in to work one day in ‘79 and Mr. Rizutti sat me down and explained to me that he was going to sell the bowling alley to an investment group. The group asked him if there was anyone in Corinth he would recommend to be the manager, and I overheard him through the closed door meeting say my name.” Before Rizutti made the deal

David Curry poses with the trophy pin he was awarded in 1995 for his first 300 game, which was bowled during the first-ever 800 series at Plaza Lanes. For the then-record series, he was given a gold ring. with the investment group, he had a sit-down with Curry to talk things over and tell him what he was planning on doing. But then he offered Curry something he couldn’t resist. “He offered to sell the business to me outright if I was interested,” Curry remembered. “He started to talk about the kind of money I could make here compared to what I was making as a teacher and it wasn’t even close. “I borrowed the money from the bank and the rest is history.” Aside from the regular duties of managing the front desk, equipment maintenance, running the cafe and lane care among other things, one of the most important skills that put Curry over the top in Rizutti’s mind and into ownership status was his ability to ball-drill. “It takes a lot of effort and expertise to be able to drill holes in bowling balls properly,” Curry explained. “I do them all here on site with our drill press.
There are all kinds of angles that holes can be drilled in, and it takes someone who really knows how to do it and do it right.” Thus, Curry began his foray into bowling alley ownership and management. But even he didn’t expect in the beginning that he would have been in this position for this long. “Sherre and I have talked about the possibility of selling, but she claims that if we were to do that she would have to find part-time work somewhere because she’d go stir crazy.” And to be perfectly honest so would he. “Why sell if you like what you do on a daily basis?” he asked. “If I were to get out, I may end up doing something I don’t enjoy near as much and that wouldn’t make any sense.” The Currys are the proud parents of Dr. Lorie Williams and Dr. Kelle Summrall.

Mississippi State tops LSU to snap 7-game skid The Associated Press
STARKVILLE — Quinndary Weatherspoon had 18 points as Mississippi State snapped a seven-game losing streak with an 88-76 win over LSU on Saturday. Weatherspoon was 8 of 11 from the field and led a balanced scoring attack for the Bulldogs. Aric Holman and Xavian Stapleton each had 14 points for Mississippi State (15-15 overall, 6-12 SEC) in the
regular-season finale. The 15 wins mark the most by Mississippi State since the 2011-12 season. “Happy we got the win and that was sorely needed after the long losing streak,” said Mississippi State head coach Ben Howland. “I can’t remember if I’ve ever been part of seven losses in a row so that is a monkey off our back. “It was great to see I.J. Ready go out like that and I thought
Xavian Stapleton gave us great minutes off the bench.” As Mississippi State’s lone senior honored on Senior Day, Ready had a career-high 13 assists. The 13 assists are the most by an SEC player this year. “This means a lot,” said Ready. “We’ve had a lot of ups and downs so to come out with a win on Senior Night, it means a lot to me. I’m glad everyone is positive about this team and
the rest of my teammates said they are not going to let me go out with another losing season. To hear them say that, I appreciate it and it boosted me up even more tonight.” Skylar Mays and Antonio Blakeney had 15 points apiece to lead LSU (10-20, 2-16) and pace five Tigers in double digits.

No. 14 SMU overwhelms Memphis for outright AAC title The Associated Press
DALLAS — Sterling Brown and his SMU teammates cut the nets down at Moody Coliseum amid the confetti and streamers. The home-court celebration isn’t the end for Brown and this Mustangs senior class. Brown had 26 points and 10 rebounds in his final home game, his school-record 106th victory, and the 14thranked Mustangs — a year af-
ter being banned from postseason play — clinched the outright American Athletic Conference title with a 10362 victory over Memphis on Saturday. “We’ve still have a few games left and we’ve got a goal that we haven’t reached yet,” Brown, one of the three SMU seniors, said with one of the arena’s nets draped over his shoulder. The Mustangs (27-4, 171) take a 13-game winning
streak into next week’s AAC Tournament in Connecticut as the top seed. And then they’re going back to the NCAA Tournament after being banned from all postseason play last season, when the only confetti during a 25win season came on Senior Night. “This has to be more special because it is a journey to accomplish an awful lot of things and more to come,” coach Tim Jankovich said.
“Where that was a finite ending, we already knew ... this has a different feeling.” With two-time American Athletic Conference player of the year Nic Moore and AAC top sixth man Markus Kennedy, SMU couldn’t advance to the postseason again in their senior season because of NCAA penalties from a September 2015 ruling involving a case of academic fraud under former coach Larry Brown.

Still a 200 bowler David Curry sets up to bowl at Plaza Lanes, which he has been a part of for 50 years. He also continues to bowl in multiple leagues and still carries a 200-plus average.
CURRY CONTINUED FROM 10A
liams just retired as chief of mental health at Fresno (Calif.) prison and continues a private practice. Summrall teaches at Lafayette County (Miss.) Junior High and has a goal of becoming a professor at Ole Miss in the next few years. Around 1980, Curry hired another man who became synonymous with Plaza Lanes. “Charlie Gooch was irreplaceable to us here,” Curry lamented. “Whatever needed to be done he did it or could do it. He was my most important resource here until he passed away in 2011. He meant so much, not only to us, but to everyone that walked through these doors.” “He was the best thing about this bowling alley,” Sherre commented. “This was really more his home than ours. He was the most dedicated man to this place than anyone will ever know.” Gooch didn’t bowl much, but he did so many things that he probably didn’t have time. Gooch’s son Jeff has been Curry’s main man for several years now, primarily taking care of the mechanics of the bowling lanes, the area behind the pins that not many people ever get to see. And it’s an amazing site to see how things work behind the lanes. If you ever do get the opportunity for a tour someday, beware, it’s extremely loud back there.
The bottom line with Curry is that he loves being the owner of Plaza Lanes. But he loves something else even more. “I was saved on March 6, 1991 at Holly Baptist Church at 7:30,” he said proudly. “It’s strange how you can remember specific dates and times like that. God changed my life that night, and now I really enjoy teaching and speaking at different churches and organizational events, like the Lighthouse. I’m not tied down here as much, and this job gives me better opportunity to do the work of the Lord.” It’s hard to believe it’s been 50 years this month since Curry started his association with Plaza Lanes. No one know show much longer he and Sherre will hold on to the iconic Corinth business, not even them. But one thing’s for sure: Curry, known simply to many as “the bowling alley man,” will greet you with a smile and a great place to have fun for all ages. That goes for Sherre and every employee at Plaza Lanes. After all, bowling is the sport played by more people all over the world than any other. It should be fun. And just in case you were wondering: most of the equipment inside the business is original, including the ball racks and the seating around the lanes. If you haven’t already, drop by this month and wish “the bowling alley man” a happy golden anniversary at Plaza Lanes.

Aaron Epps had 12 and 10 points, respectively. LSU shot 44.1 percent for the game and were outrebounded 39-32. The Tigers made just 5 of 19 beyond the arc and had 11 turnovers. “I thought Mississippi State did a good job of getting off to a good start in the first half,” said LSU head coach Johnny Jones. “I didn’t think we were great on either end in the first half. In the second half we wanted to establish ourselves, defensively, and we got it going. But we put ourselves in too big of a hole. You can’t do that to a team that has the ability to make shots in the open floor.” Mississippi State shot 54.5 percent and had an SEC-high 21 assists as a team. The Bulldogs also held a decisive 52-38 advantage with points in the paint and had 20 secondchance points. Both teams traded the lead in the opening min-
utes before Mississippi State grabbed control midway through the first half. The Bulldogs led 21-11 after an Eli Wright 3-pointer and maintained a double-digit lead for most of the first half. Tyson Carter drained a 3-pointer at the first-half buzzer and the Bulldogs led 48-30 at halftime. The Bulldogs shot 57 percent in the first half and LSU struggled at 37 percent.

No. 8 Ole Miss drops Top-10 matchup Ole Miss Sports Information
HOUSTON — In its second game of the 2017 Shriners Hospitals for Children College Classic, No. 8 Ole Miss out-hit No. 10 Texas Tech, but three errors hurt the Rebels (7-3) in a 5-1 loss to the Red Raiders (10-2) Saturday afternoon at Minute Maid Park. The Rebels tallied seven hits on the day, including three doubles, while Ole Miss pitching limited Texas Tech to six. The bats didn’t get going until late with five hits coming in the final two innings. Michael Fitzsimmons provided a spark off the Ole Miss bench, going 2-for-2 with a double. Ryan Olenek added a pair of hits and an RBI as the team’s starting center fielder. Ole Miss right-handed pitcher James McArthur (0-1) was saddled with the tough loss. Pitching back in his home state, the New Braunsfels native did not allow a hit until the fifth inning and all three runs scored off him were unearned. He finished the day surrendering two hits and three walks through 5.0 frames. Freshman Ryan Ro-
, FIC
lison tossed 2.2 innings of relief and tallied six strikeouts, both career highs. Another freshman, Houston Roth, pitched out of the bullpen and retired all four batters he faced. Texas Tech received a big day from its starter Steven Gingery (3-0), who went 8.0 innings and allowed only one run on five hits and two walks. Five of the Red Raiders’ six hits came from the two through four hitters in the lineup. Cleanup hitter Tanner Gardner went 2-for4 with four RBI. With the help of two strikeouts, McArthur sent the Red Raiders down in order to begin the game. After a smooth first inning, the
sophomore lost a little command in the second as two walks and a hit batter loaded the bases with nobody out. However, his teammates helped him get out of the jam unscathed by turning a double play to end the inning. Colby Bortles fielded a sharp groundball to third and rifled it home to Cooper Johnson before the Ole Miss catcher threw it back to Bortles for another force out, completing the twin killing. The quick turn ended the threat and kept Texas Tech off the scoreboard. The Rebels hurt themselves in the sixth as a pair of errors led to two Texas Tech runs. First, it looked as if McArthur forced his
second groundball double play of the contest, but Grae Kessinger’s throw to second sailed wide to allow both runners to reach safely. Attempting to pick off the lead runner, McArthur’s throw went into the outfield and placed both Red Raiders in scoring position. The situation forced head coach Mike Bianco to lift McArthur and go to the bullpen. However, a base hit plated two to give Texas Tech the three-run advantage. Ole Miss will wrap up play in Houston today, squaring off against No. 1 TCU. The Rebels and Horned Frogs will play the second game of the day with first pitch scheduled for 1:35 p.m.

‘One Good Mama Bone’ tells beautiful story of poverty Nobody, as in the new book “One Good Mama Bone” by Bren McClain, could say you didn’t try your best.
BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez
Participating in the Cross City Piece Makers’ recent retreat were (front row, from left) Terri Embrey, Connie Allen, Bonnie Strickland, Barbara Hickman, Gail Stables, (standing, from left) Kathleen Robinson, Dianne Deming, Betty Denham, Vicki Blegen and Sharon Beene.
Local quilt guild hosts mini learning retreat T
he Cross City Piece Makers Quilt Guild held a mini retreat Feb. 27 and 28 at the Alcorn County Extension Service. The purpose of the retreat was to work on and complete unfinished items for club charity projects. The quilt guild has adopted foster children as their focus for this year’s Christmas project. They are currently working to complete 130 stockings for the children. The stockings will be filled with items appropriate for each age group in November. Social Services will assist with the distribution of the stockings in December. During the retreat, Terri Embrey demonstrated how to make a hexagon pot holder using two fat quarters. Thirteen members participated in the retreat. The Cross City Piece Makers meet every third Thursday of each month from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Extension office.
Quilters practice quilting techniques at a retreat held by the Cross City Piece Makers Quilt Guild.
“One Good Mama Bone” by Bren McClain, foreword by Mary Alice Monroe c.2017, The University of South Carolina Press $27.99 / 280 pages You didn’t have a clue what you were doing. Even so, you’d muddle through, making things up as you went, making do. The result wasn’t, perhaps, what you’d hoped it would be but nobody’d ever fault you for your perseverance. Nobody, as in the new book “One Good Mama Bone” by Bren McClain, could say you didn’t try your best. When Sarah Creamer looked at her son, Emerson Bridge , she loved his dimples most. His mama had them, too, but Mattie hadn’t stuck around long enough to see her baby’s smile. She couldn’t live with what she’d done, having an fling with Sarah’s husband and all, so she shot herself just after giving birth, leaving Sarah with a newborn. For his part, Harold was happy to have a son, but he was gone now, too. In the end, it was just Sarah and the boy, whom she loved. Not having had much of a mama herself, though, she wondered if she was doing right by him. Emerson Bridge missed his Papa. But wasn’t a Mama
enough? She gave Emerson Bridge everything he needed. She went without to make sure he was fed. She’d marched over to Mr. Dobbins’ ranch and bought her son a calf so he would have a buddy. She wished she could do more. Luther Dobbins hadn’t wanted to sell the steer to that Creamer woman. But he did, because he wanted to see admiration in his youngest son’s eyes. Luther loved LC, but the boy was nothing like his brother, Charles, a college man who made Luther proud. LC was weak; nothing disgusted Luther more. He wanted his son to be a man. He wanted LC to love him like he did when he was little. Sarah Creamer was glad to see Emerson Bridge happy again. He loved his steer, which he named Lucky, and they were lucky that Mr. Dobbins gave them the Mama Cow, too. The kind of devotion animals had, well, Sarah’d never seen such a thing.
Besides, the Mama Cow was a good listener, which is what Sarah needed most… The first thing you may notice about “One Good Mama Bone” is that the prose is beautiful. Very much so, and that takes some getting used-to. You won’t be sorry for it. Setting her novel in poverty-deep rural South Carolina in the early 1950s, author Brin McClain brings forth a story that aches and pulses, starting with Sarah, who becomes the mama she never had and is wrapped with worry about not having a map for raising a boy who’s not hers. This grasping hopefulness and the things she does for Emerson Bridge are so appealing that Sarah might’ve made a good solitary subject for a novel. Happily, McClain gives us more, in the form of a whole cast of wonderful characters. Even the loathsome Luther belongs solidly inside this perfect novel of love, parenting, and doing the right thing. And here’s another something right: reading “One Good Mama Bone.” That’s what you should be doing.
