Action! Jacinto filming begins

75 new jobs

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

JACINTO — “Settle … and … action!” On that command from “Blood Country” director Travis Mills, a hush falls over the courtroom at Jacinto Monday morning as filming of the movie’s scene 43 begins. Corinth attorney Nick Bain — summoned out of real-life court for the last-minute casting of a speaking role— stands facing a witness who begins to tearfully respond to a question. “They brought him back. He was all tore up,” she says. Bain, as defense attorney Huddleston, replies, “Torn up, Mrs. Loftin?” “He’d been shot and cut many times,” she says. “Is it not true, ma’am, that two of your sons — two of your four sons — had an ongoing feud?” “Yes sir,” replies Mrs. Loftin. “They didn’t like each other for a long time.” Between takes, a machine pumps vapor into the air, giving the room a hazy, smoky thickness. The western thriller by Running Wild Films attracted a crowd of costumed locals hoping for a moment in front of the camera. They filled the

Arbors gives more than a place to live BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

Riddle — what hosts a potluck dinner, lots of laughter and good conversation, but is not a family reunion or a church gathering? The answer: It is a retirement community that has more to offer than just a place to live. Many of the residents of Corinthian Arbors recently contributed toward a traditional St. Patrick’s Day dinner of corned beef and cabbage. Two ladies cooked the main dishes and several other residents brought their specialities to go along. As residents settled down at the tables to enjoy their meal, there was a plethora of compliments regarding specific dishes and proud smiles from the cooks. The only couple in the

People of the Crossroads Teresa Choate Smith, Corinth “Retired? I have not learned what that word means,” said Teresa Choate Smith as she sat at the front desk at the Daily Corinthian. Smith “retired” as a classfied sales clerk at the newspaper in 2013 after 28 years of service. She returns occasionally to fill in for someone sick or on vacation. “I’m either here or at church,” she added, referring to Church of the Crossroads, where she is involved in the music department and small group ministry. She has been married to Samuel Smith for 47 years. (“Good Lord, where has the time gone?” she wondered.) Samuel was a newspaper carrier for 22 years. They have two daughters, Nikki Hill and Angie Harmon, and five grandchildren — Kristin Monroe, Nick Monroe, Landon Monroe, Alexis Harmon and Tyson Harmon. Teresa also loves cats. She has eight.

Originally born in Monroe County in 1943, Brinker joked, “The year 1943 used to sound pretty good to me, but now ... well, I’m 74.” Brinker pointed out another resident, Hazel Cotner, who has lived at Corinthian Arbors for a decade. “She helped me out. She showed me how to get in and took me around. She was the first person I met when I moved here,” said Brinker. Cotner smiled in response to Brinker’s gratitude.

Crash report in 3 weeks Associated Press

BILOXI — Investigators say a preliminary report on the March 7 train-bus crash in Mississippi that killed four Texas tourists should be ready within three weeks. Biloxi Mayor Andrew “FoFo” Gillich on Friday added a seventh railroad crossing to a list his city

will decide on Tuesday whether to close. However, it won’t be the Main Street crossing where a CSX Transportation train slammed into the bus. Instead it’s on a side street that city leaders tell WLOX-TV is among the most dangerous crossings. National Transporta-

tion Safety Board spokesman Peter Knudson says investigators have finished work in Biloxi and gone home. He also says investigators interviewed the bus driver Wednesday. The board is asking any witnesses, or anyone with pictures or video to contact the board by email at witness@ntsb.gov.

Regional Library Director William McMullin was among those serving as a courtroom spectator. “This is going to be fun,” he said. “It’s a chance for people to act and have a good time and dress up in costumes and see how the filmmaking business works.” Ralph Coln, who recently served as interim county supervisor for the district that includes Jacinto, came in costume with his grandson, Alex. “He was out of school this week, so here we are,” said Coln. “It will be a challenge. I like challenges.” Based on true events and adapted from the short story “The Outlaw, the Sheriﬀ, and the Governor” by Robert E. Jones, the movie will have several scenes

filmed in Jacinto. “The courtroom is probably a five- to seven-minute scene, kind of a centerpiece scene, probably one of the longestlasting scenes of the film,” said Mills. “Then we’re going to be shooting some jail conference scenes upstairs with the lawyers tomorrow, and we’re going to probably shoot some newspaper scenes at this location, too. It will probably be featured in 15 minutes of the film, I’d say.” Set in the small south Mississippi town of Oakdale, the movie is also being shot in several other Mississippi locales. Mills said filming is set to wrap April 4, and then post-production begins. He hopes to see the movie released around the end of the year and would like to do a local screening.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, March 21, the 80th day of 2017. There are 285 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 21, 1952, the Moondog Coronation Ball, considered the first rock and roll concert, took place at Cleveland Arena.

On this date: In 1556, Thomas Cranmer, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, was burned at the stake for heresy. In 1685, composer Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach, Germany. In 1804, the French civil code, or the “Code Napoleon” as it was later called, was adopted. In 1925, Tennessee Gov. Austin Peay signed the Butler Act, which prohibited the teaching of the Theory of Evolution in public schools. (Tennessee repealed the law in 1967.) In 1935, Persia officially changed its name to Iran. In 1946, the recently created United Nations Security Council set up temporary headquarters at Hunter College in The Bronx, New York. In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan began a four-day conference in Bermuda. In 1963, the Alcatraz federal prison island in San Francisco Bay was emptied of its last inmates and closed at the order of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. In 1972, the Supreme Court, in Dunn v. Blumstein, ruled that states may not require at least a year’s residency for voting eligibility. In 1981, Michael Donald, a black teenager in Mobile, Alabama, was abducted, tortured and killed by members of the Ku Klux Klan. (A lawsuit brought by Donald’s mother, Beulah Mae Donald, later resulted in a landmark judgment that bankrupted one Klan organization.) In 1997, President Bill Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsin wrapped up their summit in Helsinki, Finland, still deadlocked over NATO expansion, but able to agree on slashing nuclear weapons arsenals. In 2006, the social media website Twitter was established with the sending of the first “tweet” by co-founder Jack Dorsey, who wrote: “just setting up my twttr.”

Ten years ago Former Vice President Al Gore made an emotional return to Congress as he pleaded with House and Senate committees to fight global warming; skeptical Republicans questioned the science behind his climatechange documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.”

Marietta Mayor Judy Ramey is seeking reelection. Qualifying for aldermen are incumbents Craig Pharr, Ronnie Livingston, Rickey Stanley and Sarah Greene. Also qualifying for alderman was Clint Burns. Incumbent alderman Beau Burns is not seeking reelection. He is the brother of Clint Burns.

Ripley Incentives remain for building renovations RIPLEY — Home and business owners in the Ripley Historic District can still take advantage of state and federal tax credits and other incentives for renovating their property, reported the Southern Sentinel. The Historic Preservation Ordinance set in place by the City of Ripley is a set of guidelines for permissible and appropriate construction and renovation within the Historic District in Ripley. The City of Ripley and Tippah County offer up to seven years of property tax abatement for properties that have been renovated per the Ripley Historic Ordinance and Design

Guidelines. The state of Mississippi also offers a income tax credit of up to 25 percent of qualified expenditures for historic preservation. Some federal credits and incentives are also available.

Tishomingo Co. No injuries after fire destroys Midway home TISHOMINGO COUNTY — A home in the Midway community of Tishomingo County was destroyed by fire last week. The fire began in the early morning hours on March 18 at 57 County Road 155 in Midway. One person, Allison Sewell, was home at the time and was able to escape without injury. Sewell did suffer some smoke inhalation. Midway, Paden and Snowdown volunteer fire departments responded to the call. Units remained on the scene for more than five hours.

Monroe County 2 dead, several injured in multi-vehicle wreck MULDON — Two people have died in a multi-vehicle crash in Monroe County. Monroe County Coroner Alan Gurley tells local media that 72-year-old Quincy Howell and 20-year-old Lamonica Rupert were killed in the crash, which happened early Sunday. Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Criss Turnipseed says a 2016 Nissan Sentra

being followed by a Hyundai Sonata were traveling south in the northbound lanes of Highway 45 Alternate when the Sentra collided head-on with a northbound 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis. After the initial collision, the trailing Sonata collided with the Sentra, sending the Hyundai off the road. Howell, who was driving the Sentra, and Rupert, who was driving the Mercury, were both pronounced dead at the scene by Gurley. A passenger in the Sentra was airlifted to a hospital. Two passengers in the Mercury and two passengers in the Sonata were hospitalized with moderate injuries.

Hamilton, Ala. Jail escapees on run may have stolen truck HAMILTON, Ala. — According to the Marion County Sheriff’s Department, two jail inmates remain on the run, according to WTVA. “We will continue to search for them along with the US Marshals until they are both found,” stated the sheriff’s department on its Facebook page. Cory Dean, 22, and Zepplin Kennedy, 20, managed to escape from the Marion County, Ala., jail Friday morning near 1:32 a.m. The two may have stolen a gray 2001 Ford Ranger pickup truck south of Hamilton, Ala. It was stolen sometime near 6:40 a.m. from a logging com-

pany on County Road 11. According to the sheriff, the truck was spotted on Interstate 22 in Fulton heading westbound. However, he couldn’t confirm that the two are in the spotted truck. It is believed the two escapees could be in Itawamba County and Lee County. Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson confirmed that one suspect’s girlfriend lives in Lee County.

Oxford Shooting turns into homicide investigation OXFORD — A shooting in Lafayette County has now turned into a homicide investigation, according to WTVA. On March 9, sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to Sand Hill Drive in the Brittney Woods area to what was described as a possible shooting. When they arrived, they discovered that a victim has been transported to Baptist Hospital in Oxford by personal vehicle - and then later to the Med in Memphis. Chief investigator Alan Wilburn says that victim died late Friday night - and has been identified as 31-year-old Kenya Hill. The Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department has now issued a warrant for murder for 27-year-old Chris Demont Paten of Oxford/Water Valley area. Paten also goes by the name “Chris Caine.” Authorities consider him armed and dangerous.

School district receives $50,000 BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn School District is now $50,000 richer thanks to Rep. Nick Bain (D-Alcorn) and a bond bill passed in the Capitol last year. Originally written to only add new lighting to the Kossuth Aggies baseball field, school oﬃcials recently voted to split the bond money among the three county schools. “They contacted me about splitting the money and I told them that was fine,” said Bain.

“The bond was written for facility improvements in the Alcorn School District and they spend it how they like.” SuperintenBain dent of Education Larry B. Mitchell said the amount of money Kossuth, Biggersville and Alcorn Central receive will be based on enrollment at each school.

Some of the money has already been spent, according to Mitchell. Plans include baseball field lighting upgrades at Kossuth, football field lighting upgrades at Alcorn Central and refinishing of the gym floor at Biggersville. House Bill 1729 is a $249 million unforgiven bond, which included more than 100 diﬀerent construction projects around the state, and the school district’s part was passed into law during the 2016 legislative session.

“Being able to bring some money back home from this heavily Republican supported bill highlights my ability to work within the system and with both parties to help my people back home,” added Bain. Alcorn County also received $400,000 from the bond for the continued development of Alcorn County’s Northeast Mississippi RailHub South. Sen. Rita Potts Parks (RAlcorn, Tishomingo, Tippah) requested the RailHub receive funding from the bond bill.

Recent traffic stops lead to eight arrests BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

A 19-year-old Corinth woman was among eight individuals arrested during recent traffic stops. The Tishomingo Sheriff’s Department conducted several traffic stops throughout Tishomingo County March 14 and 15. The stops produced a number of felony drug arrests as well as arrests for outstanding warrants and capias. Iuka and Belmont police departments assisted with the traffic stops. Those arrested included Katlyn Williams, 19, of 69 County

Road 727 in Corinth. Williams was arrested and charged with felony possession of a controlled substance – methamphetamine. Bond was set at $3,500.

charged with felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute – methamphetamine. The change was enhanced because he had a firearm on his person. Bond was set at $10,000 by the justice court. Merryman is currently on pre-trail diversion with the D.A.’s oﬃce. Fragel Smith, 33, of 2 Jefferson Street in Burnsville, was also arrested during a traﬃc stop and charged with felony possession of a controlled substance – Adderall. Smith’s bond was set at $5,000.

Firefighter injured during house fire BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

A Biggersville firefighter received minor injuries after a portion of wall collapsed during salvage operations after a Kossuth structure fire Sunday afternoon. A press release from Biggersville Fire & Rescue Fire Chief Jonathan Rider advised that fireman Bradley Kershaw of Corinth was helping to retrieve family photos from inside the house when a wall portion collapsed “striking Kershaw on the left arm, causing first and second degree burns.” The structure fire was a residence located at 30 County Road 627 and has been identified as the home of David Green. Chief Adrian Hodum of the Kossuth Fire De-

partment said the KFD was called out to the fire at about 4:05 p.m. Sunday and he said the structure was already fully involved when firefighters arrived on the scene. Rider said Biggersville Fire & Rescue was dispatched around 4:19 p.m. in response to a request for more manpower and water to assist Kossuth Fire Department. After the fire had been brought under control, the firefighters on the scene began the salvage and overhaul portion of the fire ground operations and this is when Kershaw’s injury occurred. Kershaw was attended on the scene by a Kossuth Firefighter/ EMT and transported to Magnolia Regional Health Center

Office named for Nunnelee Associated Press

JACKSON — A state office building could soon be named for a Mississippi congressman who died in 2015. Legislators have passed the final version of Senate Bill 2564 , to name the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality headquarters as the Patrick Alan Nunnelee building. It is in downtown Jackson. Nunnelee, who went by Alan, was a Republican from Tupelo. He spent 16 years in the state Senate starting in 1995, eventually becoming chairman of the Appropriations Committee.

Fight not fading over Confederate emblem JACKSON — The Confederate battle emblem on the Mississippi flag is an issue that won’t die, even when legislative leaders say firmly that there’s no consensus to either change the banner or to force Emily it to be flown in public places Wagster where it has disappeared. The persistence of the fight Pettus has been quite clear the past Capitol Dome couple of weeks in the state House of Representatives. Republican Rep. William Shirley of Quitman tried to amend several bills to put financial pressure on the eight public universities to display the flag. All have furled it because of the Confederate emblem that critics see as racist. Supporters say the flag represents history. Shirley took part in a 2016 rally in support of the current flag, but said his effort to make universities fly the banner was not specifically about the rebel design. After several unsuccessful efforts, Shirley stood at the front of the House chamber last Wednesday and silently waved two tiny flags — one, the state banner; the other, a plain white flag. He would not explain that action, but many interpreted it as a sign of at least temporary surrender. The next day, the chairwoman of the Legislative Black Caucus, Democratic Rep. Sonya Williams-Barnes of Gulfport, stood in the same spot and said Shirley should have apologized for disrupting the work of the House over a divisive symbol. Instead, she said he had “laughed and cooed” with other representatives. “This flag remains a constant reminder of not just the past hate, but the current hate that continues to fester in this state amongst our residents and throughout this chamber,” Williams-Barnes said. Mississippi is the last state with a flag that prominently features the Confederate battle emblem, years after Georgia redesigned its banner. Mississippi has used the flag since 1894, but the state Supreme Court ruled in 2000 that the flag, while widely displayed, had lacked official status since 1906, when state law books were updated and the flag design was not included. After public hearings degenerated into shouting matches in the fall of 2000, legislators put the design question on a statewide ballot in 2001, and voters reaffirmed it. Debate over the public display of Confederate symbols intensified after the June 2015 slaying of nine black worshippers in a church in a Charleston, South Carolina, by an avowed white supremacist who had posed for photos with the Confederate battle flag. Soon after the massacre, South Carolina lawmakers removed a Confederate battle flag from the Statehouse grounds. Republican House Speaker Philip Gunn was among those who said this state needs to change its flag. Williams-Barnes said she was told in 2016 that she should hold on and not make an issue about the flag because legislative leaders had a plan. “So, I trusted. And I waited. And I waited,” she said last week. “And now, we are approaching the end of this legislative session and every flag bill is either buried or in a procession headed to the cemetery. ... I am sick to my core of this flag and what it’s doing to my state. It’s not only about race. It’s about progression of our state. It’s about economic development in our state. It’s about tourism in our state. It’s about growth of our state. It’s about making Mississippi whole again.” Emily Wagster Pettus has covered Mississippi government and politics since 1994.

Prayer for today My Father, I pray that if I meet with difficulty, I may not go backward, nor stand still, and fear to go forward. Unfold to me the depth and breadth of the ideal and beautiful, that I may not be content to succeed in the shallowness of life: but may I aspire to the height of the soul, even if I fail to acquire great things. Amen.

Hospitals struggle with uncompensated care STARKVILLE — While the national debate over Republican efforts to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act continues, hospitals in Mississippi face the future with the ongoing realities of the uncompensated care they are compelled by law to provide. The debate begins at understanding a 1986 law that compels almost every hospital (all that accept Medicare) to provide health care to people who walk into emergency rooms seeking that care regardless of the ability of the patient to pay. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) governs how and when a patient can be refused treatment or transferred from one hospital to another when the patient is in an unstable medical condition. EMTALA, in essence, requires that any patients who comes to the hospital ER seeking examination or treatment for a medical condition must receive an examination and if the patient is suffering from an “emergency medical condition” the hospital is then legally obligated to provide him with treatment to stabilize the condition or transfer the patient to another hospital. That includes labor

and delivery of infants. In a state with Mississippi’s depth of poverty and Sid Salter high rate of uninsured Columnist patients, the law puts community hospitals in the fiscal crosshairs. Community hospitals provide, on average, about 60 percent of all the uncompensated health care delivered in this country. The American Hospital Association provided this voluminous definition of just what uncompensated care is in 2010: “Uncompensated care is an overall measure of hospital care provided for which no payment was received from the patient or insurer. It is the sum of a hospital’s “bad debt” and the charity care it provides. “Charity care is care for which hospitals never expected to be reimbursed. A hospital incurs bad debt when it cannot obtain reimbursement for care provided; this happens when patients are unable to pay their bills, but do not apply for charity care, or are unwilling to pay their bills. Uncompensated care ex-

cludes other unfunded costs of care, such as underpayment from Medicaid and Medicare.” Uncompensated care costs nationally in community hospitals have for more than 30 years ranged from 5.1 percent to just over 6 percent of their total expenses. The Kaiser Family Foundation reports that “community based providers (including clinics and health centers) and oﬃcebased physicians provide the rest, providing 26 percent and 14 percent of uncompensated care, respectively.” That same KFF report revealed how hospitals struggle to pay for uncompensated care: “In 2013, $53.3 billion was paid to help providers oﬀset uncompensated care costs. Most of these funds ($32.8 billion) came from the federal government through a variety of programs including Medicaid and Medicare, the Veterans Health Administration, the Indian Health Service, community health centers block grant, and the Ryan White CARE Act. States and localities provided $19.8 billion, and the private sector provided $0.7 billion.” Last year, the Mississippi Business Journal looked at

the prospects for Mississippi local hospitals in the changing national and state health care policy environment. MHA’s Center for Rural Health director Mendal Kemp told the publication: “The payer mix dictates how you are doing financially. Some of the small rural hospitals particularly depend heavily on Medicare and Medicaid. They have no private commercial insurance patients to speak of. That is why the (federal reimbursement) cuts are doubly bad for the small rural hospitals. Those are the ones at the greatest risk of closure.” In examining repeal of the ACA and implementation of the proposed GOP-based American Health Care Act, Mississippi’s congressional delegation must consider the impact of federal health care policy on Mississippi’s rural hospitals lest access to basic health care in the state contract significantly. Public health care is kind of like the old Fram oil filter commercial. You can pay now or pay later, but as taxpayers, we will ultimately pay for the provision of public health care at the federal, state and local level. Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist.

Legislature considers revenue bills The deadline to consider revenue and appropriations bills that originated in the Senate occurred last week. Among other things, these bills detail how much money will be appropriated to a number of diﬀerent state boards and departments. These include the Department of Revenue, the Department of Public Safety and the Institution of Higher Learning (IHL). While most appropriations bills were passed in a block, a few were pulled out for individual discussion. The Gaming Commission appropriation bill, Senate Bill 2986, was given individual attention when an amendment was oﬀered to create a lottery in the state of Mississippi. Ultimately, the amendment failed,

marking the last opportunity to establish a state lottery this year. Appro‘Bubba’ p r i a t i o n s Carpenter for the IHL, Senate Bill 1st District 2954 and Representative Senate Bill 2955, also garnered discussion when amendments were introduced that would require state schools to prominently display the Mississippi flag to receive state money. Both attempts to adopt the amendment failed, as did a similar piece of legislation from last week, which died on the calendar. Most of these appropriations and revenue bills will be discussed at conference, a period during which rep-

resentatives and senators will work together to finalize numbers in each bill. As the 2017 legislative session winds down, several bills are being “concurred” upon and sent to the governor to be signed into law. Among these is the Health Care Collaboration Act, which will allow the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) to enter into a health care collaborative with other health care entities throughout the state. House members also sent the Back the Badge Act to the governor, which will double penalties for any crime committed against law enforcement oﬃcers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians. On Wednesday, the House presented House Resolution 10 to leaders of

Daily Corinthian • 5A

Mid-morning concert series is Thursday (Editor’s Note: We are publishing this story again to bring attention to a corrected date.) The magical music of the flute will be celebrated this week in the latest installment of the Corinth Music Club’s concert series. The club will present a free Mid-Morning Concert at 11 a.m. Thursday in the historic Fillmore Street Chapel in downtown Corinth. This month’s concert features area flutist Bobbi Campbell and two of her private flute students, Natalie Thomas and Alaina Wilder. Sara Ellington and Bevin Wilder will assist by playing the piano accompani-

ment on some of the pieces. “I really appreciate that talented and busy pianists like Sara and Bevin are able to perform with us. It opens more possibilities and adds texture and variety to a flute concert,” stated Campbell. The program is titled “The Moody Flutes, Volume 2” and includes a variety of musical eras and styles. From the middle ages to Bach, from a piper entertaining rural shepherds to the sounds of New Orleans, and wrapping up with soulful jazz and a little swinging gospel, this short concert is sure to entertain the listener. The music should last approximately 30

minutes. Flutist Thomas is a senior at Adamsville High School in Tennessee. She has participated in Tennessee All-West Band, UT-Martin Honor Band, and University of Memphis Honor Band. Thomas often performs on her local television channel to raise money for ministries. She has gone on a mission trip to Guatemala and volunteers as a children’s leader at her church. Last summer, she had a research internship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center; she is slated to go on a Marine Biology course in Belize this summer. She will graduate as valedictorian

of her graduating class at Adamsville High School and has received both merit and music scholarships for Rhodes College and Tulane University. This is her second year of private study with Bobbi Campbell. She is the daughter of Kevin and Tammy Thomas of Adamsville, Tenn. Flutist Wilder began studying flute in 2014 as a member of the Master Music Academy Homeschool Band of Corinth, under the direction of Bruce Dobbs, where she sits first chair in the flute section. As a member of the band, she has received recognition for completing multiple musicianship challenges,

as well as superior solo ratings and the Outstanding Musician Award. She has been a private student of Campbell since 2015. Wilder is a freshman homeschool student (class of 2020) and an active member of Eagle Homeschool Association. She is also an active member of First Baptist Church, where she is involved in the youth group, youth ensemble, youth choir, and drama group. She is the daughter of Royce and Bevin Wilder of Corinth. This free public performance is sponsored by the Corinth Music Club, a member of the Mississippi Federation of Music Clubs since 1924.

LGBT community worries about hate crime prosecutions BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

LUCEDALE — In the waning days of President Barack Obama’s administration, supporters of LGBT rights hailed the first federal hate crime conviction for the killing of a transgender woman in Mississippi. With President Donald Trump now in oﬃce, they worry about the future of such prosecutions. Trump’s new attorney general, Jeﬀ Sessions, opposed the 2009 hate crime law when he was a U.S. senator, saying it was overly broad and he thought it was unnecessary to include further protections for gay and transgender people. During his January confirmation hearing, Sessions told fellow senators they “can be sure I will enforce” the law, but some observers wonder about his commitment. “We really might be looking at a new day under Sessions, and that has huge implications for how the federal government is going to treat violence that is absolutely rampant in the transgender commu-

nity,” said Jordan Woods, a University of Arkansas law professor who studies LGBT legal issues. Sentencing in the Mississippi case is May 15. With a plea agreement in place, it’s unlikely Sessions could change the strategy in this prosecution. Joshua Vallum, an exconvict and top-ranking gang member, faces life in prison without parole for killing 17-year-old Mercedes Williamson, who was born male but transitioned to a female. Prosecutors say Vallum, 29, and Williamson dated and that he killed his transgender girlfriend because he worried fellow gang members would discover their relationship and kill both of them because gay sex was strictly forbidden by the Latin Kings gang. Attorney Dru Levasseur of the LGBT rights group Lambda Legal said supporters had a frustratingly long wait for the first federal hate crime prosecution involving a transgender person. “We waited for many years for the government to finally deploy that law,” Levasseur said.

Hate crimes have historically been a priority for the FBI and Justice Department. Investigations are typically initiated by the FBI and the attorney general doesn’t need to sign oﬀ on each prosecution. Six Democrats in Congress wrote to Sessions on March 10 to ask the Justice Department to investigate as hate crimes the deaths of seven transgender women this year, including another one in Mississippi. The Justice Department declined comment. Crimes motivated by a loathing of sexual orientation or race will often be prosecuted under state hate crime charges, but those vary. Mississippi, for example, doesn’t include crimes against transgender people. Usually defendants will also face charges such as assault or murder, but people are more likely to be convicted in federal court and can sometimes face longer sentences. In Vallum’s case, he pleaded guilty to murder in state court and was sentenced to life in pris-

Tronic expand their operation and add new jobs in Corinth and Alcorn County,” said Alcorn County Board of Supervisor President Jimmy Tate Waldron. “The board stands ready to help existing industry grow and be successful.” Mayor Tommy Irwin added, “We are also extremely pleased that KeyTronic has chosen to continue to invest in Corinth and Alcorn County and

add new jobs for our citizens.” Building improvement assistance will also come from the Mississippi Development Authority. “We are thankful for our partners at The Alliance, the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors and the city of Corinth for their teamwork with MDA to help KeyTronicEMS expand in our state,” said MDA Executive Director Glenn McCullough, Jr.

KeyTronic in our community,” said Clayton Stanley, president of The Alliance. “This investment, both financially and through the hiring of 75 people, is indicative of what a great place Alcorn County is to do business.” Headquartered in Spokane, Wa., KeyTronicEMS has more than 45 years of electronic manufacturing experience. The service provider makes printed circuit board assemblies, plastic molding, precision metal stamping and fabrication. For the expansion, the company is incorporating a new surface-mount technology production line into its Corinth facility. “We are investing in the long-term future of our people here by adding millions of dollars of new production equipment to the plant,” said KeyTronic Corporation CEO Craig Gates. Gov. Phil Bryant made the announcement on Tuesday. “KeyTronicEMS’s expansion demonstrates the company’s commitment to Corinth and Alcorn County,” he said. “I appreciate the company for helping us show the world Mississippi is a place where companies can compete successfully and enjoy long-term, sustainable growth.” Alcorn County is providing assistance for building improvements and City of Corinth officials are also providing support. “We are excited to be able to help assist Key-

on, but with a chance of parole. He could get life in prison without parole for his federal guilty plea. “There’s a lot of variability in the willingness of state and local jurisdictions to prosecute,” said Rebecca Stotzer, a University of Hawaii professor who has studied violence on LGBT people. Vallum previously served time for a fake bomb threat at a church. While imprisoned, he joined the Latin Kings gang, going by the name King Chaos. After his release, Vallum met Williamson online and they dated for months in 2014. In his defense, Vallum initially told sheriﬀ’s deputies and later The Sun Herald newspaper that he found out that Williamson had a penis on May 30, 2015 — moments before he killed her. He said he “blacked out” and doesn’t remem-

ber the crime, a variation of what’s known as a “gay panic” or “trans panic” defense. Prosecutors doubted the claim, in part because the FBI found a cache of gay porn on Vallum’s cellphone and because he was charged with indecent exposure in Alabama. Most significantly, Vallum didn’t contest evidence in court that he long knew Williamson was transgender. Federal prosecutor Julia Gegenheimer said during Vallum’s plea hearing in December that he began planning to kill Williamson after a friend called him May 28 to say he’d discovered her identity. Vallum lured Williamson into a car in Alabama and drove her 50 miles (80 kilometers) to his family home near Lucedale, Mississippi, prosecutors said. He shocked her with a stun gun and stabbed

her in the body and head with a pocketknife. When she tried to run into the woods, he chased her down and bashed her head with a hammer. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights advocates say heinous attacks like this one should be prosecuted as hate crimes because they spread fear among their community. Hayley Seymour is a transgender woman who led a vigil for Williamson in Mobile, Alabama, after her death. Seymour didn’t know Williamson, but she acted because she grew up nearby. Williamson had left home, had a tenuous relationship with her parents, and was struggling with a drug habit. She deserved better, Seymour said. “I know how easily violence can happen and how easily it can be swept under the rug,” she said.

Brady’s missing jerseys found Associated Press

BOSTON — The mystery of Tom Brady’s missing Super Bowl jersey led police all the way to Mexico, and authorities were investigating a former tabloid newspaper executive’s possible role in the theft. Police and the NFL announced Monday that Brady’s jersey, which disappeared from the locker room after the Patriots’ 34-28 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons last month, had been found in Mexico. The NFL said the jersey was in “possession of a credentialed member of the international media.” U.S. and Mexican oﬃcials have not yet identified the suspect, but the name of a former newspaper director circulated widely in Mexican news media and on social networks. The newspaper’s owner, Organizacion Editorial Mexicana, issued a statement saying the director had resigned from La

Prensa on March 14 for “personal reasons.” The company learned only Monday of his possible involvement in the jersey case, it said. The paper said that if the accusations are true, it “strongly condemns” that the employee used his position “to obtain a media accreditation to be able to access the field of play, news conferences and probably other areas of NRG Stadium.” The company apologized and said its leaders had been unaware of “the regrettable and reprehensible actions (he) presumably committed,” and said it had not been contacted by Mexican authorities about the case. No arrests had been made as of late Monday. The Associated Press is not identifying the director because he has not been charged. Brady, in a statement emailed to the AP from his agent, Don

Yee, expressed gratitude to investigators but said he hadn’t yet been reunited with the jerseys. “I am happy my jerseys from SB 49 and SB 51 have been recovered, and I want to thank all of the law enforcement agencies involved,” Brady said. “I know they worked hard on this case — and it is very much appreciated. Hopefully when I get the jerseys back I can make something very positive come from this experience.” The missing jersey — and the subsequent investigation — captivated Patriots fans and social media for several days after the Super Bowl. “If it shows up on eBay or something, somebody let me know,” Brady said after the game. Houston police investigators relied on a tip from an informant to trace the jersey, estimated to be worth about $500,000, to Mexico.

the doors each night to make sure everyone is safe. When asked, Cotner simply smiled modestly and nodded. “The residents here. The people. They are the reason I am here,” said Julie Hutchins, manager of Corinthian Arbors. Hutchins said her mother, who moved into Corinthian Arbors in 1995, was the first female resident at the apartments. It seemed a fitting irony, when Hutchins took the position as manager of the facility eight months ago. Her experience in looking out for her mother as she aged, helped open Hutchins’ eyes to how other people might live. Hutchins worries modern society has become “too busy” and people need to check on each other more. In her own personal experience and in the capacity of her position as manager of Corinthian Arbors, she said people just don’t know how other people are living until they take the time to check on them. There are 37 residents at Corinthian Arbors and Hutchins said she wants people to know the community exists. It is a se-

It is non-assisted living and is for adults who can still manage living on their own, but provides a secure environment. Currently, the age range of the residents is from 62 to 96 years old. It is an income-based community and all one has to do is complete an application to see if they qualify.

There is also a HUD-required background check. Only about half the residents of Corinthian Arbors have cars and they are often kind enough to oﬀer rides to other residents, but the facility also utilizes available resources for transportation so residents can get to the grocery store, to doctor’s appointments, and other activities. “Elder care is going to

A report published by the United States Census Bureau states, “Between 2012 and 2050, the United States will experience considerable growth in its older population. In 2050, the population aged 65 and over is pro-

jected to be 83.7 million, almost double its estimated population of 43.1 million in 2012. The baby boomers are largely responsible for this increase in the older population, as they began turning 65 in 2011. By 2050, the surviving baby boomers will be over the age of 85.” With the statistics showing the validity of a

growing retirement-aged population, Hutchins expressed a desire to point out there are safe, aﬀordable places to live such as Corinthian Arbors. “This is a great place to live if your family doesn’t live close by. You can get transportation to the store, or to the doctor, or wherever you need to go,” said Hutchins. The facility is made up of roomy one-bedroom apartments with a small but complete kitchen. All residents are also provided with accessible Life Alert buttons if they have an emergency. There is a fitness room with stationary bikes and elliptical machines. “We have a community room. That’s a lot of fun,” said Hutchins. “They have game night, movie night and there’s Bible studies every week. There’s a laundry room. There’s a library ... people have donated books over the years. I am very welcoming to anyone who wants to donate or volunteer.” “I just want people to know that we’re here,” she said. (For more information regarding Corinthian Arbors, contact Julie Hutchins at 662286-0028.)

What Does God Say About Women Preachers? It is remarkable how much culture impacts the church in every generation. One of the issues now confronting Christians is the ever-increasing use of women as preachers in denominations. The pressure to be politically correct has kept some from speaking clearly about this matter lest they be viewed as male chauvinists or as discriminating against women. The reality is not “What does our culture demand?” but “What does the Bible say about women preachers in the assemblies of the church?” The answer is found in Paul’s first letter to the church at Corinth. The apostle mentions, in much more than one place, of that time when the whole church came together in one place. In 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, he described the abuse they had made of the Lord’s Super in that assembly, and then instructed them as to how it should be observed properly. Then, in 1 Corinthians 14:23-40, he addresses behavior in worship again. Because of the abundance of spiritual gifts (1:7 shows that no N.T. church had more gifts) the worship was chaotic (14:26). He regulates this by giving specific instructions to those who spoke in tongues, the interpreters of tongues, the prophets and the prophets’ wives who were part of the problem. Tongues speakers were told to limit the number to two or three of them, and if there were no interpreters present they were not to speak at all. Prophets were told to be limited in the number who spoke unless something was revealed to another prophet in the assembly. The wives of the prophets (let your women, with the antecedent your being the prophets) were told to not interrupt their prophets but to ask their husbands, the prophets, questions when they got home. The key verse to answer our question is found in the last phrase in verse 35. The prophets’ wives could not speak because “it is shameful for women to speak in church” (I Cor. 14:35). All women are included in these words. Two verses later, Paul shows that this was not a cultural, optional matter, but “the things I write unto you are the commandment of the Lord.” Keep in mind that this letter was written to a Greek society where women were far more prominent in society than in a Jewish world (see Acts 17:12, 34). Paul’s words were against the normal practice in the culture of Corinth! His instructions are not tied to culture, but to the law (14:34) and to the commands of Jesus (14:37). Suggesting these words only deal with a first-century Greek culture ignores what God said. What did God say about women preachers? That is all that matters. God said, Let your women keep silent...for it is shameful for women to speak in church.” Read your Bible - I Timothy 2:9-15 - Welcome

Republicans press professors to teach MADISON, Wis. — University of Wisconsin chemistry professor Robert Hamers has a jam-packed day ahead: an hourlong lecture, a conference call with colleagues about nanotechnology, meetings and plans to check on students in the lab. With a workweek that he estimates often extends to 65 hours, Hamers is hardly lazy, but Gov. Scott Walker wants to make sure professors like him don’t neglect the classroom. The governor has joined a national conservative push to get professors to do more teaching and less research. Provisions in his state budget proposal would reward faculty who spend more time in the classroom and make state aid to universities contingent on faculty instructional hours. Republicans say they want to ensure undergraduates get enough bang for their tuition dollars. University officials say the GOP is trying to appease a base that’s suspicious of higher education in general, and they worry about pushing professors to deliver lectures instead of pulling in federal research dollars and seeking discoveries that reshape society.

Ex-NFL star shot at men after incident BOSTON — A former friend of ex-NFL star Aaron Hernandez told the jury at his doublemurder trial Monday that Hernandez opened fire on a car because he believed two men inside had taunted him at a Boston nightclub. Alexander Bradley testified about the shootings on July 16, 2012. Bradley said Hernandez ordered him to pull up next to the victims’ car at a stop light, then repeatedly fired a revolver into the car. Safiro Furtado and Daniel de Abreu were killed. Relatives of the men wept as Bradley testified, prompting Judge Jeffrey Locke to call for a brief recess during Bradley’s testimony at Suffolk Superior Court. Bradley said Hernandez used a racial epithet and said, “What’s

up now?” before firing. The former New England Patriots tight end is accused of killing the men after de Abreu accidentally bumped into Hernandez and spilled his drink at the club. Hernandez is also charged with witness intimidation for allegedly shooting Bradley in the face months later after he became worried that Bradley would tell authorities about the earlier shootings. Bradley lost an eye in the shooting. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty. During opening statements to the jury, his lawyer pointed the finger at Bradley, saying he shot Furtado and de Abreu over a drug deal.

Airlines expect 4 percent traffic rise DALLAS — Coming off another highly profitable year in 2016, U.S. airlines expect traffic this spring to increase 4 percent over last year, and they are adding seats to handle the crush. The trade group Airlines for America forecast Monday that a record 145 million U.S. passengers will fly between March 1 and April 30. The group’s chief economist said traffic will rise because airfares fell over the last two years while economic indicators such as household wealth and job creation are rising. There are signs, however, that the run of lower airfares — made possible by cheaper jet fuel — is ending. American Airlines expects a key revenue per seat figure to rise between 1.5 percent and 3.5 percent in the first quarter after falling throughout 2015 and 2016, and other carriers are close behind. For the airlines, it looks like the good times will keep rolling. Last year, U.S. airlines carried a record 823 million passengers and earned $22.3 billion in pretax income, down just $1 billion from the stellar results in 2015.

to their homes in the foothills just outside this university city on Monday as firefighters make progress against a wildfire possibly sparked by transient campers in the area. The fire spread to about 70 acres and was about 50 percent contained Monday. Winds were forecast to be a bit lighter than when the fire broke out on Sunday but are still likely to be a factor especially in the afternoon. Boulder County Sheriff’s Cmdr. Mike Wagner said the blaze may be human-caused and that hikers and transient campers frequent the area where it erupted — a wooded, mountainous place a couple of miles from Pearl Street, the shopping and dining hub in the heart of the home of University of Colorado. Officials ruled out any lightning strikes or downed power lines, and Wagner said investigators were working to pinpoint exactly where it started.

Police response faulted in protests MINNEAPOLIS — A federal review released Monday of an 18-day standoff outside a Minneapolis police station following the fatal shooting of a black man in 2015 found problems with the city’s coordination and communication but praised officers for their professionalism and the peaceful end to the protest. The Justice Department’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services conducted the review at the city’s request after the shooting of 24-year-old Jamar Clark on Nov. 15, 2015. His death in a confrontation with two white officers sparked an occupation outside the station on the city’s north side and other protests that were largely peaceful, though one on Nov. 18 included skirmishes between officers and demonstrators. Some witnesses told police that Clark was handcuffed at the time, but an investigation by the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension found the officers were unsuccessful in handcuffing Clark, and he was shot after one of the officers shouted that Clark had his hand on the officer’s gun.

Decomposing body found in woods PASCAGOULA — Investigators are trying to identify a decomposing body discovered during a church gathering in Jackson County. Jackson County Sheriff Mike Ezell says that parishioners of Pine Grove Methodist Church were having a function Saturday afternoon when the body was found in some woods behind the church. The church is near the George County line. The Sun Herald reports that investigators are asking anyone with information about the case to call the sheriff’s office.

Woman killed by train is identified PASCAGOULA — Authorities have identified a woman who was struck and killed by a train in Pascagoula as 43-year-old Miesha Kuantan. The Sun Herald reports that Kuantan was walking on the railroad tracks when she was struck Thursday afternoon at a railroad crossing on 14th Street. Jackson County Coroner Vicki Broadus says that witnesses reported the engineer sounded the horn at least three times, but the woman never tried to get out of the way. Broadus released the woman’s name after family members were located and notified.

Mason is accused of bringing cell phones and cigarettes into the prison. Walker says the phones might have been used to harass victims or to carry on criminal activity from inside the facility. If convicted, Mason faces up to 15 years in prison and a $25,000

Dad charged after missing son found OCEAN SPRINGS — A 3-year-old boy has been found safe, but his father is facing charges after authorities say he reported the boy missing. Jackson County Sheriff Mike Ezell tells local media that 36-year-old Jason Albert Necaise reported his son missing Saturday afternoon from Ocean Springs. First-responders were looking for the boy when deputies found a note in Necaise’s house. Ezell says that friends wrote in the note that they had taken the boy after they found Necaise “incapacitated.” Deputies found the boy around 3:30 p.m. Sunday and turned him over to his grandmother.

Woman pays, never receives puppies GREENWOOD — Police say a Mississippi woman wired $530 to Ohio to buy two Pomeranian puppies. She lost her money and never received her furry bundles of joy. The Greenwood Commonwealth reports the woman found the puppy offer on Facebook and used Western Union to send the money to two people she had never met in Columbus, Ohio. Greenwood Police Chief Ray Moore says the first payment for $260 was sent March 6 to a person named Jamara Marlin. The second payment of $270 was sent March 7 to a Sabastian Jordan. Both transfers were picked up. Police suggested the woman seek legal advice for a possible civil suit

Alcorn State begins plans for dormitory JACKSON — Alcorn State University plans to build a new 500-bed dormitory on its Lorman campus The College Board approved plans for the 3,400-student university to hire an architect to design the dorm. Alcorn says it will pay $200,000 to the architect. The university doesn’t have a projected price for the dorm yet, but says it will cost more than $3 million. Alcorn State will have to come back to the board to get additional approval before it can start construction. More than 1,600 students typically live on the campus in Lorman.

Woman in prison for toilet-water meth GULFPORT — A woman arrested after federal agents drained buckets of meth-laced toilet water from her home is heading to prison. The Sun Herald reports a judge gave 40-year-old Chiquita Acker of Pearlington, Mississippi, the maximum of 10 years in prison and a $5,000 fine after she pleaded guilty to sale of a controlled substance. Federal agents arrested Acker in April 2016 as they said she tried to sell methamphetamine at a Gulfport truck stop. Other agents went to her house and heard a toilet flushing. They ripped open the pipe and drained three gallons of toilet water, which tested positive for meth.

Couple’s wedding can wait until fiance finds a job D E A R ABBY: My fiance and I have been engaged for two years. Our wedding is set Abigail for a year now. Van Buren from I’m thinking about callDear Abby ing off our wedding, not because I don’t love him, or because I don’t want to spend the rest of my life with him. I know I want that. It’s because I’m the only one with a decent job. He has a job, but doesn’t earn enough to support us. I can’t be the only one earning an income. How are we supposed to move out of our parents’ houses and start a life together if I’m the one doing everything? What will happen when things need to start getting paid for, and there’s no guarantee he’ll find something? I have talked to him about it, and he’s angry. He knows it’s time to change his life around and get serious. Should I keep the date and keep my fingers crossed he’ll find a job by then, or postpone our wedding, which has a venue but nothing else planned? I don’t

need to get married anytime soon, and I’d prefer to wait until he can support himself and we are in a better place financially. Then I feel like we could move forward. Am I making the right decision? -- CAUTIOUS IN NEW JERSEY DEAR CAUTIOUS: Yes, you are. You are thinking with your head instead of being swept away by your emotions, and I applaud you for it. I have said for many years that before a woman marries she should be able to support herself, in case future circumstances require it. Well, the same is true for a man. DEAR ABBY: I am a gay man. Recently, I rekindled a relationship I had with a guy I was close with many years ago. We have a lot of the same interests. When he asked what it would take for us to be permanent, I asked that he stop smoking pot. He responded that he does it only “two or three times a year” and that for me to make that request was “controlling.” I asked him for no other changes. I hate the smell of smoke, and pot is illegal in our state, so I broke it off because he wouldn’t agree. Did I do the right thing? -TONY IN FLORIDA

DEAR TONY: Yes, because his response to your simple request indicates that any accommodation you asked of him would likely be met with the same reaction. DEAR ABBY: My 63-year-old husband refuses to cut his hair. It is gray and thinning and is now longer than mine. Even when it’s clean it looks dirty. I was raised to take pride in my appearance. If I say anything about it, he thinks it’s funny, or the other extreme, that I am picking on him. He’s not a rock star or a young lad. Please help. -- NEAT AND CLEAN IN CALIFORNIA DEAR NEAT AND CLEAN: I’ll try. Your mistake is making his problem (poor grooming) your problem. Continue to take pride in your appearance, and if he prefers to look like an old hippie, let him. Neither you nor I can change him, and because his tresses are thinning, the problem may resolve itself. 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). Nature is stronger than man. Then again, man is a part of nature. You’ll prove the mightiness of the human spirit in some way today as you go up against the big forces and win. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). After periods of high exertion you need time to relax and recover. If you don’t consciously and regularly schedule this, you’ll miss it and burn out later. Take care of your health and happiness now by making a plan. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In order to better achieve the group goal, people must feel safe enough speak up about what’s working and what’s not. If everyone is too afraid to challenge or change the way things are going, the outcome will suffer. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There will be flashy, glamorous and dramatic situations to get involved in today, but should you? You won’t be sorry if you instead choose your company the same way you choose your shoes -- for comfort and long

wear. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Maybe you shouldn’t tell everyone about the extensive effort you put into getting to a certain result. Your payoff will come when the others figure out that they can’t easily duplicate what you just pulled off. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You won’t get the sale, promotion or attention necessary to move forward unless people know what you’re doing and why. So don’t be shy today; publicize your work. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your social talents will be put to good use now. You’ll connect people who can do one another good. You’ll set a tone where people feel comfortable enough to contribute. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s nothing wrong with wanting appreciation and love. It doesn’t make you automatically needy just because you have the very basic human drive to be valued. Be suspicious of anyone who tries to

make you feel otherwise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may not agree right now with what you did back there, but you made the best decision you could make based on the information you had at the time. Knowing more, you’ll do it differently today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve been wronged -probably just a misunderstanding -- and you’ll work it out. Being too conciliatory would be a mistake. Don’t mute your own interests more than is good for the relationship going forward. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The day has exciting potential for you as you follow a fascinating lead. Where high standards meet with prepossessing features, a strong attraction will develop. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Mistakes teach us how to be more flexible in the future. They also make us compassionate. Accept yourself and move on. You’re becoming stronger and more able every day.

Settlemires pitches on a higher level BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

She’s calm, cool and collected and the reigning twotime division most valuable player. And she’s only a sophomore. Biggersville High School fast-pitch softball standout Ali Settlemires has lofty goals in mind for her softball career and she’s well on her way to achieving them. “She’s like having a coach on the field,” says her head coach Karrie Beth Stevens.”Nothing seems to bother her on the mound. She thrives under pressure. And she is so quiet and unassuming oﬀ the field.”

Indeed she is. Settlemires has developed into one of the top high school fast-pitch softball pitchers in Mississippi. She has progressed to the point that major college programs such as Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri and Alabamaamong others- have inquired of her and sent scouts and coaches to watch her play during the summertime as she travels with teams loaded with Division 1 talent. Last summer Settlemires traveled and pitched with the Mississippi Bombers, a part of the Texas Bombers organization. She pitched and had success against elite travel teams from all across the country. The Bombers played

in tournaments in places like and Florida State. South Dakota, Atlanta and She held her own. Chattanooga.

Corinth/Alcorn County Parks and Recreation Director Ray Holloway Jr. is busy in his office planning the next big event for the complex. Holloway has engineered a major expansion and renovation at the historical park over the past couple of years and there are bigger and better things on the horizon.

Holloway leads rebirth and expansion at city park BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Every train has an engineer and every athletic team has a head coach or manager. For the Corinth/Alcorn County Parks and Recreations Department, the engineer and head coach since July of 2014 has been Booneville native Ray Holloway, Jr. Holloway came to Corinth with a sterling resume, including stints at Tupelo, Clinton and Brookhaven, Georgia. Aside from all the day-today activities that require his attention, Holloway has been at the helm of a massive overhaul and upgrade expansion of the park that includes the new five-field baseball/ softball complex, the addition of new soccer fields, the expansion and re-opening of the Droke Road entrance, the repaving and expansion

of the parking area between the soccer fields and tennis courts, and the recent renovation of the old tennis courts. A boatload of planning and financing has been required to complete all of these efforts and there is more to come, including the widening and renovation of the walking track. That phase has seen it’s beginning as the first entrance to the park south of the railroad tracks has already been closed and will remain that way as part of the rebuild so walkers and joggers will no longer have to be concerned about facing crossing traﬃc between North Parkway and the ballfields. That entrance will be permanently closed and that area will be curbed to allow total safety. “Everything I do and accomplish here is not about me,” said the park director.

“We couldn’t accomplish anything without all our partnerships, including Cook Coggins Engineering and Pittman Brothers Construction. They truly exemplify a working relationship of how projects should be handled.” Holloway comes from a military family background with his dad being Corinth native Ray Holloway Sr., otherwise known as Big Ray. Big Ray was killed on a job assignment at Fort Benning, Georgia, when Ray Jr. was only a toddler. Holloway Jr. joined the National Guard/Marines at the age of 17 but was able to attend college due to his split-training status. He first graduated from Northeast, where he played football, and then transferred to Delta State before ending up at Mississippi State. He served with the Marine Corps/Army Reserves 198th Cavalry Division in Boonev-

ille from 1981-88. He gave up football after moving to Cleveland, Mississippi, to attend DSU. And although he jests that most of his closest friends are Ole Miss fans, he bleeds Mississippi State maroon and white. Holloway graduated from MSU with a Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education and a Master’s in Abnormal Psychology. He also holds specialized degrees from Clemson University and North Carolina State University. He is NRPA certified and holds a vast education and knowledge of all facets of mental and physical health. Holloway began his career as a program coordinator and fitness instructor at Oktibbeha County Hospital and Wellness Center in Starkville in 1988 before moving on to the North Mississippi Medical Center in Please see HOLLOWAY | 11A

Biggersville sophomore softball standout Ali Settlemires is proud to be a Lady Lion and has laid the foundation for a high plain of future success on the mound.

SETTLEMIRES CONTINUED FROM 10A

the court next winter for head coach Cliﬀ Little. “Ali was always a calming force for us last year,” Little reminisced.”Things would be going kind of bad for us in a game and I would put her in and she just made everyone better and calmer.” She has also played and been quite successful at golf and soccer. Is there anything she can’t do? Ali started playing softball at the Sportsplex at the ripe old age of six in the coach pitch league where she was selected for the all-star team. She was also selected for a travel team, which was her first experience on the road even though they didn’t travel far. But she didn’t start pitching until she was nine. It was around that time that Settlemires was introduced to a highlysuccessful pitching coach named Tom McLoughlin. “He’s strict but he’s there for you and will get you where you wanna go if you put in the work,” Settlemires added. She still takes lessons once a week in Booneville with the former Ole Miss coach as she endeavors to sign with a Division 1 university upon graduating from Biggersville. “That’s my goal, to play Division 1,” she said. “Playing against elite teams during the summer has really helped me improve my game. “Last year I played with the Mississippi Bombers but this year I have been invited to play with the Mississippi Elite. The competition will still be of the highest level and I enjoy playing in that kind of atmosphere.” Settlemires also played with a local travel team — Corinth Impact — two years ago, which helped

prepare her for bigger and better things. The Lady Lions sophomore’s greatest strengths are movement and action on her pitches. She’s rarely out of the strike zone and paints the corners like an artist. She is consistently in the 60 mph range on her fastball and has been told by major college coaches that she really needs to be around 65 as a senior to sign D-1. With nearly three full years of high school and strength and conditioning ahead, Ali should be able to acheive that goal. “The thing I need to work on the most is my strength. But if I keep working and getting better I’ll be able to get where I want to be.” Settlemires may be a dynamic, veteran pitcher as only a sophomore but she’s still a teeneger who enjoys being with her friends and teammates. “My teammates always have my back,” she continued.”We play well together but we have to keep working to get better. And coach (Stevens) supports us one hundred percent.” Biggersville is the two-time defending 1-1A champions with Settlemires being the unanimous MVP. They look to make it a three-peat this season depite getting oﬀ to a rocky start. “This has never been done before here at Biggersville so of course we want to keep it going,” Stevens concluded. Keep an eye on Ali Settlemires over the next three seasons because not often do you find a female softball athlete of her caliber in northeast Mississippi. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll enjoy following her on the highest collegiate level in just a few short years.

organized and detail-oriented,” Holloway mused. Corinth just experienced a small sampling of what’s to come with the recent USSSA 7U-13U Crossroads Global World Series Qualifier tournament at the new complex and at Jesse Bynum Field. The event drew record numbers in excess of 2,200 including spectators, coaches, players and staﬀ. The Mississippi Spring Classic will be the next major tournament featuring 8U-16U softball action. With each new event, the crowds will grow and the city will benefit financially from all the tourism dollars. Corinth is proud to have Ray Holloway Jr. as the Director of these and future events, expansions and upgrades.

From there he transitioned to become Sports and Training Director for Mississippi Special Olympics where he further developed a passion for helping individuals with special needs. In May of 1995, Holloway began his first stint with the Tupelo Department of Parks and Recreation as Special Services Director: a position he held until October of 2002 when he took over the Interim Director’s role for six months. From October 2001-October 2002, he served as the Assistant Deputy Director

in Tupelo before receiving an oﬀer he couldn’t refuse in Clinton. “Me and my family really enjoyed Clinton,” said Holloway.”It’s such a large operation and very diversified. And we loved the people there: they took us in and made us feel at home.” After just over 11 years as the Director of Parks and Recreation in Clinton he accepted the newlycreated Director position of Parks and Recreation in Brookhaven, Georgia in January of 2014. The city had just become a municipality in 2013 and they needed a man like Holloway to lead the way. However, Holloway’s mother became ill in Booneville and he felt the need to move back home to be closer to her. It just so happened that Corinth was looking for a

Later on that afternoon, I took a couple feed sacks to tidy along the highway where Sox had disappeared. It’d been months since I’d picked up the trashy litter among the grass and goldenrod.

Makes good sense when you consider that most of the dust in our houses is composed of our own skin cells that we have shed, not to mention the critters’. The idea was hilarious — and brilliant — but I doubted that it’d work. And judging by Cheryl’s forlorn face, I didn’t think she thought it’d work either. Kitty had been terrified. She’d hit the ground and just kept going. Still, one does what one can. The expression on her husband’s face was so kind and so bland, I knew he knew how poor the odds were, too. But he is a man who loves his wife. If she needed to sprinkle their old dog hair and derma debris up and down the highway, he’d drive her up and down all day. Yes, one does what one can.

Where’s the line? Theme parks aiming to eliminate them BY MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — At Universal Orlando Resort’s new “Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon” ride, waiting in line has been replaced by lounging on couches and listening to a racy barber shop quartet sing until it’s time to enter the ride. Universal is leading the theme-park charge into “virtual lines” that give visitors options for exploring a park or watching live entertainment instead of the tedium of looking at someone’s back as you inch forward step by step to the thrill ride. “It’s kind of a bit of a science experiment for all of us,” said Jason Surrell, a Universal creative direc-

tor said about the “queueless” waits. “We’ve known for years that waiting in line is one of the biggest dis-satisfiers in our guests’ day.” Universal is also trying the concept at another attraction. Later this year, when Universal opens its new Volcano Bay water park in Orlando, visitors will be given wristbands that will alert them when it’s their turn to get on a ride. “I think it represents the future of what we’re going to be doing in themed entertainment,” Surrell said. “I kind of joke that this is the first step on a journey that will eventually lead us to a generation that doesn’t even know about theme park lines. It will

be ‘What do you mean, wait in a queue? What’s that, Grandpa?’” Virtual lines are the latest evolution in theme parks’ eﬀorts to shorten or eliminate waits for rides, or if waits are necessary evils, to improve the experience of biding one’s time. Almost two decades ago, those eﬀorts were concentrated on elaborately-designed “pre-ride” lines such Universal’s The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, which goes past an elaborately-detailed “Daily Bugle” newsroom. A few years later came the ride reservations systems of the FastPass and Express Pass at Disney and Universal parks,

respectively, in which ride-goers are assigned periods of time to show up for rides. But those reservations need to be made ahead of time, for the most part, and visitors can only make them on three rides a day. Universal opens that concept to everybody, not just advanced planners, with its two new attractions, while also oﬀering entertainment during the wait. “Everybody is trying to do this, working not only on the rides but how to get you on the rides,” said Dennis Speigel, who heads the theme park consulting firm, International Theme Park Services. “Universal is at the forefront right now.”

The Jimmy Fallon attraction and the Volcano Bay water park take different approaches to virtual lines. At the Jimmy Fallon attraction, which opens next month, visitors enter an area made to look like the lobby of a Rockefeller Center building. Instead of getting in line, they can meander through the lobby looking at photos and memorabilia of past and present “Tonight Show” hosts and watch TVs playing clips of hosts Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon. Up a flight of stairs are a lounge with couches, half a dozen consoles with touch screens displaying “Tonight Show” videos

and a theater stage. Visitors can hang out in the lounge area, charging their phones or talking while they wait. Visitors will be notified it’s their turn to go on the ride either through a message on their phone app or a more old-fashioned color-coordinated scheme. Universal hasn’t released many details about how virtual lines will work at Volcano Bay, other than to say a watchlike device named “TapuTapu” will be given to visitors. It will flash “Ride Now” when it’s their time to go on a ride. Technology and our growing impatience with waiting are driving the move toward virtual lines, Speigel said.

Spring a great time for fishing, hunting The sun is shining bright my friends and a new season is upon us. This season holds a special place in the hearts of many simply because of the beauty that seems to pop up around us every day. Josh Flowers of Webb all sorts are Columnist beginning to show their true colors and the dogwoods have finally graced us with their breathtaking presence. Fish are biting, turkeys are gobbling and the smell of sweet spring air is finally here. Man, it is a great time to be an outdoorsman. As dawn breaks across the top of an old hardwood ridge, many hunters this spring will be graced by the thunderous voice of an old tom turkey. I truly wish I could find enough words to describe that very moment in time. The truth is, however, that it only takes one word. Spiritual. I know it seems funny to some people that we like to chase 20-pound birds around from daylight to dark, but until they see the iridescent fan of a gobbler backlit with a sunrise only God can create, they will never truly understand. In that moment when he finally commits and greets you with an earthshaking gobble at 30 steps I honestly believe that most hunters have a mild heart attack and are only brought back to their senses by

Wanna Lose 20 lbs. this month? Your neighbors have already done it! Now is the time to catch nice crappie at Pickwick Lake. the screaming of the next gobble. It is a scene that plays out over and over each spring. To be honest, I plan on being in as many of those situations as possible. Turkey hunting is good for the soul and will teach you more about respect than you ever thought possible. If you are a turkey hunter, then you know exactly what I am talking about, and if you are not, then I suggest finding someone to take you this spring because you will never regret it. The amazing thing about spring is that it gives us a plethora of opportunities to spend time outdoors with family and friends. I do not think anyone would argue that a crowd favorite spring activity is fishing. We are blessed to live in a state that oﬀers some of the greatest crappie fishing lakes in the world, literally. We are also living in a time when fishing is the most accessible is has possibly ever been. With comfortable boats, extremely safe kayaks and the never to be forgotten

wading technique, there is always a way to find spawning crappie this time of year. I am the first to admit that I spend a large part of my spring chasing turkeys, but I keep my ears open to fishing reports because when the crappie in lakes such as Pickwick and Grenada get active, there are fewer things better than bringing home a cooler full of them. The simple truth of it is that spring has oﬃcially made it to us and if you were ever looking for a time to spend in the outdoors, this is it. I have said it before and will gladly say it again, there is no better time than spring to be an outdoorsman. Whether you decide to try and fool an old tom or prefer to feel a crappie thump the end of jig pole, every spring has the potential to be memorable. It is simply up to us to get out and make those memories possible. (Outdoors writer Josh Webb is a native of Corinth who now lives in the Mississippi Delta.)

The story of Alcorn County’s W.P. Jones It’s time to give a shout-out to David Latch of Corinth for this Tom w o n d e r Parson ful photo that he Park Ranger donated to the National Park Service. The image is of a Confederate private in a fancy double breasted frock coat. (After the war an artist from Ramer, Tenn,. retouched the photo and added captain’s stripes to the collar.) Along with the photo came a very brittle letter dated March 16, 1928, from the soldier’s daughter, Mary Jones George. The letter gives a very brief “war record” and provides us a few clues about her father. William Pinckney Jones, or W.P. as he was most often known, was born in North Carolina in 1831. Sometime in early 1850 his family relocated to the “Northern Division” of Tishomingo County. Keep in mind this was the old Tishomingo County that was broken up after the war to create Alcorn, Prentiss and Tishomingo counties. The family lived in the Boneyard community, which no longer exists but could once be found about 10 miles southwest of Corinth. Say, between Kossuth and Chalybeate. They were farmers and on a nearby farm lived the Suitor family, once their neighbors back in Carolina. The Suitors had a daughter named Julia, just a year younger than W.P., and the two wed in August 1850. W.P. became a schoolteacher and taught students in Kossuth and possibly ran a mercantile store on the side. The couple had two boys and three girls and life was good, that is until the war began. On Aug. 6, 1861, their 11th wedding anniver-

sary, W.P. enlisted in the “Kossuth Volunteers.” The company was sent to Iuka where it was organized as Company D of the 2nd Mississippi Infantry. As it turns out there was already a 2nd Mississippi, so they were called the 3rd instead. In the autumn the regiment would be reorganized and they would emerge as the 23rd Mississippi Volunteers; even then they were still frequently referred to as the 2nd or 3rd Mississippi. If it is confusing to you, imagine what it was like for them. W.P. enlisted as a private, but his days in the rank and file didn’t last for long. As he was an educated man, and could read and write better than most, he was given an assignment as “assistant commissary of sustenance” or A.C.S. for short. This means he was the guy in charge of ensuring the regiment had plenty of food. Orders for the regiment to move came on Sept. 19 when Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston put out a call for troops to come to Kentucky. The regiment was soon in Hopkinsville and face to face with a deadly foe. It wasn’t the soldiers in blue, it was disease; measles, typhoid fever and dysentery. Forty-five men of the regiment died at this camp without ever facing the enemy. On Jan. 28, 1862, W.P. went out to a local photography studio and had his likeness made. That evening he wrote Julia a letter and enclosed the photo. “It has just been taken, and although it is not a good picture yet it gives -- a pretty fair idea of my personal appearance at this time. This is as good a token of my love as I am able to give you. Treasure it as a memento from your absent husband and as it will ever be near you, so are my thoughts and my aﬀections.” This is the same photo he describes.

W.P. Jones The letter also reveals just how lonely he was. “The greatest earthly desire I have, is to see you again and my little children again. Frequently, after laying myself down at night tired and worn out with hard labor, my thoughts revert to home and to associations and I cannot go to sleep till near morning. My mind dwells upon those at home, who are dearer to me than my own life, until business calls my attention to my duties. It is night. The careworn volunteer is locked in slumber perhaps dreaming of absent loved ones. The measured tread of the sentinel as he passes to and fro before my door alone breaks the stillness. At such an hour it must be sweet to think of other times than these that now surround us. My thoughts rush unbidden to the time when I sat by the fire with you by my side and my children around me and talked of the business of the day or were engaged in some little household duty. These thoughts make me sad in

spite of myself.” Two weeks later William and his regiment were fighting for their lives at Fort Donelson, Tennessee. Though they fought well, the Confederate garrison was forced to surrender on Feb. 16, 1862, and over 12,000 Southerners were sent north to Union prison camps. William found himself in Camp Douglas just outside of Chicago. Although it was a brand new camp and the prisoners were housed in warm barracks with plenty to eat, disease took a heavy toll on both prisoners and guards, just as it had while in camp in Kentucky. Pvt. Jones had no desire to languish in prison so he took up his pen in a bid to secure his release. He wrote to Reuben Davis, a former Mississippi congressman, which set oﬀ an amazing chain of events. Davis contacted his old associate Rep. Schuyler Colfax of Indiana to help secure his constituent’s release. Colfax was a powerful man in Congress,

soon to be appointed speaker of the House, and eventually he would serve as Vice President under Ulysses S. Grant. Colfax contacted Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, who, as a personal favor to Colfax, ordered the immediate release of Pvt. Jones. On July 10, W.P. was paroled and allowed to go home to Mississippi. You have to ask, just who was our W.P. Jones that he had such powerful men helping him? It appears he was nothing more than an average Joe who made an outlandish request when a lot of very influential men were of the temperament to do each other favors. A parole, simply stated, said the soldier was released but was not allowed to take up arms until administratively exchanged for another soldier. Most of the time soldiers were kept in parole camps while awaiting exchange, but William was allowed to spend his parole at home. The most likely reason for this was because W.P. was ill; he had contracted tuberculosis. He must have begun to rally and feel better since sometime near the end of his visit he and the Mrs. conceived their sixth child. On Sept. 24 the bulk of the regiment was officially exchanged and it was time to return to the life of a soldier. W.P. was promoted to captain, a rank more in line with his duties as regimental commissary. In early December the Confederates in Mississippi were busy trying to keep General Grant from marching overland to Vicksburg. The 23rd Mississippi was involved in some fighting around Coﬀeeville and then went to winter quarters at Grenada. I believe that an ailing W.P. made a poor decision and made a trip home to be with the family for the holidays. Visit-

ing Boneyard or Kossuth at this time was a dangerous gambit because of the proximity to Union troops in Corinth, Rienzi and Jacinto. On Jan. 5, 1863 Capt. Jones was captured in Tishomingo County while his regiment was over 130 miles away in Yalobusha County. He was soon on his way to the prison at Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio. Camp Chase was much worse than Camp Douglas, and the cold northern clime was dreadful for someone with tuberculosis. But Capt. Jones was a trustworthy man and for 10 days he was allowed to leave the prison on his pledge of honor not to run away. He was directed to stay within the city limits and more than likely he was seeking the services of a physician. On April 6, 1863, 24 invalid Confederate oﬃcers were being transferred to Fort Delaware, but W.P. was left behind, being too ill to travel. Barely a month later, on May 5, he was examined by Army surgeon William Grinsted, who found that W.P. was “suﬀering from great emaciation the result of Tabes Mesenterica.” His family never learned of his true fate, though they could guess. In the letter written by his daughter in 1928, Mary supposed he was “sent as a prisoner to Johnston’s Island, mysteriously disappeared, and is supposed he was killed or died.” Sadly, she was correct; on May 15 W.P. died in Columbus and just six weeks later, on June 29, Charles Pinckney Jones was born in Kossuth. The father he would never know was in one of the many unknown graves at the Camp Chase Cemetery.

Academy teaches furniture manufacturing skills BY BRANT SAPPINGTON boonevilleeditor@bellsouth.net

In a competitive job market, the right skills and training can make all the diﬀerence. Putting those skills into the hands of those seeking furniture jobs in the region is the goal of the Furniture Academy, a program partnering area furniture manufacturers with community development agencies and educational institutions to help prepare residents for jobs in the furniture industry. Graduates of the academy are ready to hit the ground running, said Brad Boyd, Director of Human Resources for HM Richards in Baldwyn, one of several area manufacturers taking part in the program. “It provides them with the tools to be successful,” said Boyd. The proof of the academy’s success can be seen in a pair of recent graduates now working fulltime at HM Richards. New Site High School graduate Tiﬀany Hopkins said she heard about the academy on the news when it was launched in January and knew immediately it was where she needed to be. She was looking for work at the time and saw the opportunity to get a leg up on the competition. “It’s made a lot of difference,” she said. She’d discovered during her job search that while furniture manufac-

The 28-hour academy course includes an overall introduction to furniture manufacturing, lessons on teamwork and problem solving, the importance of a good work ethic, life skills, OSHA safety training and more. Graduates earn two nationally recognized credentials - OSHA 10 and the WorkKeys Career Readiness Certificate - that tell employers they’re ready to go to to work. “It was such a big help,” said Hopkins.

Boyd said he could tell immediately she would be a good employee. “I knew when she came in she had a lot of confidence and I could tell she was motivated. That impressed me,” he said. Ashland High School graduate Eric Gibson is another HM Richards employee who got his start through the Furniture Academy. He had visited the WIN Job Center looking for work when he learned about the program and decided to jump in. He said the academy taught him important skills including how

to be safe and to respect others. He said he also gained important problems solving skills and an understanding of what’s expected and how to be a good employee. Boyd said when Gibson came in for an interview he could see his determination. “I could tell Eric was serious. He was prepared. Attitude makes a diﬀerence,” he said. The human resource director said with the number of applications he receives, the furniture academy credentials make potential employees stand

Their willingness to go through the program shows that they’re dedicated and serious about getting and keeping a job. “We want loyal employees who want responsibility, who want to come in and make a diﬀerence,” he said. Those interested in the academy should visit the WIN Job Center or www. steptothefrontoftheline. com. The program is a partnership between HM Richards, Homestretch

Mabry, partners transform downtown building BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

The building stood for years as an empty hull on Cruise Street. The former office of Griffith Associates wasn’t very attractive. It stuck out like a sore thumb beside the renovated, elegant Vicari Italian Grill. And then phase two began. The second phase of Market Square, LLC., the venture of business partners Lanny Griffith and formerly Van Hedges and now Preston Knight. With executive chef and creative talent John Mabry running the show, Market Square’s phase one focused on Vicari while phase two was highlighted by one of Corinth’s newest restaurants, V Taco. “It’s totally different from Vicari, but Corinth didn’t need another Vicari ... we needed something different,” said Mabry of the downtown causal taco shop which

opened in late 2016. The before and after photos of the building don’t do it justice, said the chef. “It was a lot of work,” said the Hardin County native. “Even though we had already renovated the back portion of the building for storage space for Vicari, the front portion and upstairs required some major remodeling.” Steel beams and columns had to be added throughout the building to act as reinforcement. “It had some structural issues the contractors were worried about,” said Mabry. “But they were all addressed. We also worked with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History to ensure everything we did was up to their standards. That’s why so much of the final restaurant feels rustic.” A small kitchen preparea, customer order area and dining room was created downstairs, while

“It had some structural issues the contractors were worried about. But they were all addressed. We also worked with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History to ensure everything we did was up to their standards. That’s why so much of the final restaurant feels rustic.” John Mabry Executive chef, Creative Talent the restaurant’s upstairs was renovated to include a full Margarita bar and Corinth’s first rooftop dining experience. “The outdoor area was fun to create,” said Mabry. “We surrounded it was glass windows and added heaters for the cold months. On warmer days, most the the windows open to allow the breeze in and ceiling fans help with that, too.”

A large projection screen also hangs on the outdoor deck’s wall for entertainment purposes or to watch sports. The idea to create a taco shop didn’t come easy to Mabry and his investors. “It was actually a customer’s idea,” he said. “We tossed it around with a few other ideas, and even visited Oxford to look at a similar taco shop concept. We decided on

that and worked at making it reminiscent of a small town Mexico dive.” It took about six months to finish the second phase of Market Square. Mabry said the restaurant color scheme created some issues early. “People were asking questions as they saw the purple and black going up. We just wanted to do something fun and whimsical,” he said. “It’s supposed to make you feel good when you walk in the door.” First Mabry had the interior painted purple and yellow. “Lanny said that looked too much like LSU,” Mabry said followed by a chuckle. “So, we made purple and black work and also added a teal blue color as a highlight that’s a little closer to more of an Ole Miss color.” Only four months after opening to the public, Mabry is pleased with the reception so far. “The clientele is every-

one from 6 years old to 60 years old. It surprises me,” he said. “The coolest thing is people are coming in and trying new things. It’s a learning curve for a lot of people, but they are loving it.” The walk-up order area features build-your-own tacos, quesadillas, burritos, burrito bowls and salads, with Brisket Tacos and Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos being the menu’s most popular items. With requests daily to open a restaurant in another North Mississippi or West Tennessee city, Mabry said, “Corinth is where we are and it’s where we want to be. “It’s all about giving people another option to get great tasting, fresh foods in Corinth, while promoting this city’s amazing downtown area.” (Open Tuesday-Saturday for lunch and dinner, V Taco is located at 512 Cruise Street in downtown Corinth.)

Books change lives Try these Chicken Croquets books scare us. Some books have an impact which is sudden and powerful. These are the ones that make us feel like we just got punched in the stomach. For me, John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” is one. The story of the small, quick-witted George and the powerful but mentally disabled Lennie is a moving, tragic example of a book that stays with you long after you’ve read it. I have no intention of discussing the plot. I will only say that if you’ve never read it, you should. If you read it in high school, you should go back to it. Books have a way of changing for us the more we change. These are only a few examples. I could mention the beautiful scene in a Stephen King book that got me choked up when reading about a young boy’s wonderful Halloween evening (“The Regulators”). I could mention the “required reading” book from high school in which one of the characters terrified me more than I was expecting (the old attic woman in “Jane Eyre)”. I could tell you about the Egyptian hieroglyphic dictionary we have at the library (just in case you need to translate some ancient pyramid etchings). I could even tell you about an imaginative collection of stories, each being the perspective of a person who has just been decapitated (Robert Olen Butler’s “Severance”). And if I were daring, I could even mention my tour of the Mississippi Library Commission in Jackson during which we saw a Braille copy of Playboy Magazine. Literally, the whole thing was in Braille (just the articles, obviously). There is no end to the fascination that book lovers have with books, and librarians have a wonderful collection of experiences after we’ve been around the stacks long enough. Whether you work in the library or are just visiting, you never know what you might find. If you’re looking for an adventure, a chance to learn something new, or if you’re simply browsing around, come visit us at 1023 Fillmore Street. You may discover your own memorable title, and it might even change your life. (Cody Daniel is Head Librarian at the Corinth Library.

I haven’t made Cathy’s recipe yet, but it’s the same concept as Joanne Fluke’s recipe in one of her Hannah Swanson’s murder mysteries. She did a Surprise Muffin with jams and jellies in the center. I used a package of bran muﬃn mix, alternating between strawberry jam, peach jam and grape jelly. That really made them a surprise, because no one knew which they were getting.

One common experience for people in the library field is we often find interesting books pertaining to subjects we never thought possible. At other times, we find books among the library shelves that hit us in a certain way — that impact us, sometimes immediately, sometimes after Cody a period of reflection. Daniel It may even have been an accident. There is Columnist always a wave of delight when you see a particularly engaging volume that, as it happens, was the book next to the book you were looking for. For me, the smell of the book is just as much a part of it as anything else. There’s also the flowing air as you flip quickly through the pages. Or simply that sound a page makes as you turn one over slowly (it’s kind of a “sheeeerk” sound, right?). But for book lovers, the reason we love books will always be about what’s on the inside. Whether fiction or nonfiction, it’s the story, the places, the experience, the information that brings us back to them. As a book lover and a librarian, there are several books which have impacted me, both books I have sought hard for, as well as those I found accidentally. One book I often recommend is Louis L’Amour’s autobiography called “Education of a Wandering Man.” Many readers will know Louis L’Amour from his Western novels, but the actual man led a very interesting life as well. He didn’t graduate from high school, but he read hundreds of books a year. He sailed around the world, traveled across America as a hobo (and is quick to distinguish between the honorable hobo and the lazy vagrant). He would often pay his fellow travelers with food or money in exchange for learning about their cultures or hearing their stories. He was a man who knew how to educate himself, and he cared about his education. He knew that, next to a good conversation, books were the key to improving his mind and learning about the world. His autobiography is the exciting story of his life and how he gained his own education. I highly recommend it. Some books inspire us. Some

Tips for spring gardening as days get longer Gardening is a pastime many people in Alcorn County enjoy. Daylight hours are gradually getting longer during this time of year and this affords individuals more time in the evening to get out and make preparations for this year’s garden.

require a soil sample. Soil samples are $8 each but it is still one of the cheapest management tools available to help in plant growth, especially with the cost of fertilizer this year. Adjustments made based on your soil report can have a tremendous impact on how well your garden grows. Above all, if you are not sure as to how much fertilizer you will need in a particular area, the best way to find out is to soil test. You can bring these samples along with a check or money order to the Alcorn County Extension Service and we will mail them to the lab for you. Usually results will be returned to you in 7 to 10 days. This is the cheapest management tool that you as a homeowner can utilize in order to insure the proper growing conditions for your garden. When preparing for the gardening season it is important to have a plan. By that, I mean you need to have an idea of where your garden will be located and how it will be sectioned oﬀ. I like to draw my garden out on a sheet of notebook paper. Be sure to date it and you will have a record of where you planted diﬀerent crops in your garden. This is very helpful when you want to rotate your plants from year to year which is a very important practice and can also reduce disease incidence that you may have encountered. Spring is just around the corner and typically we will experience some rainy weather. It is im-

newspaper, pine straw, wheat straw and similar materials will mean extra work, but the technique works and will allow you to reduce losses from wet weather diseases. Staking and mulching will help, but it’s important to realize that other practices such as a good fungicide application program will also need to be carried out to further cut down on vegetable disease losses. There are several fungicides that are on the market that can be used in your garden. Be mindful of withdrawal times and always follow the label directions. If you are not sure if a particular fungicide or insecticide can be used on the vegetable in question, then don’t use it. One last thing to remember — if you are starting your plants off early this year and you get them in the ground early as well, be prepared to cover them if we encounter a cold snap. Most of the time this occurs sometime in April. Being unprepared could cost you a crop, so make plans to cover those plants if necessary. Additional information on garden diseases and insect control are covered in the extension publication “Garden Tabloid.” These are available at the Alcorn County Extension Office free of charge. If you have questions concerning plant diseases and garden clean-up practices, please call me at the Alcorn County Extension office at 286-7755 or you can look us up on the web at www.msucares.com.

‘Beauty and the Beast’ roars with massive $170M debut BY JAKE COYLE Associated Press

NEW YORK — Disney’s live-action “Beauty” was a beast at the box oﬃce, opening with an estimated $170 million in North American ticket sales and setting a new high mark for family movies. “Beauty and the Beast” blew past the previous record-holder for G- or PG-rated releases, according to studio estimates Sunday. Last year, Disney’s “Finding Dory” debuted with a then-PGbest $135 million. “Beauty and the Beast” felled many

portant to remember that periods of rainy weather followed by warm temperatures can lead to an increase in certain types of fungal infections as well as diseases associated with tomatoes in the garden. There are several ways to decrease the occurrence of these issues. Incidence of diseases such as early blight, Septoria leaf spot, and buckeye fruit rot, all of which are more severe following rainy weather, can be reduced with the following tomato tips: The first involves the use of plant stakes or support cages. Gardeners need to make sure the leaves of the plant don’t come in contact with the soil within the first few weeks of setting out transplants as the first line of defense for tomato leaf diseases and fruit rots. This control technique is eﬀective since the fungi which cause these diseases live in the soil. Tomato foliage and fruit in contact with the soil surface quickly become disease targets when rain splashes soil particles containing blight and fruit rot fungi onto lower parts of the plant. So, if you stake, trellis, or cage your plants, this will cut down on disease development in the lower part of the plants. In turn, disease movement up the plant will be slowed. Along with staking of tomato plants, it’s a good idea to use mulch to further reduce the amount of soil splash onto fruit. Mulching is a good idea not only for tomato production but for other vegetable crops as well. Mulching will help with pod rot (anthracnose) of lima beans, belly rot of cucumbers and cantaloupes, and fruit rot of bell peppers. Early-season mulching with plastic,

other records, too. It’s the year’s top opening so far and a new best for March releases, and it ranks seventh all-time, not accounting for inflation. The film, made for about $160 million, is the latest eﬀort by Disney to re-create one of its animated classics with live action and digital eﬀects. The makeover of the 1991 Oscar-winning film follows previous live-action remakes such as “Alice in Wonderland,” ‘‘Cinderella,” ‘‘Maleficent” and last year’s “The Jungle Book.” Many more are on the way, too, including those for “Dumbo,” ‘‘Mulan,” ‘‘Aladdin” and “The Lion King.”

voice that had attracted me, and millions of others, years ago. The appeal of that voice has transcended generations. While Anna just wanted to be in the moment listening to the songstress, Jessica found herself almost hyperventilating when she got very close to the stage. She got a video of the famous “Stevie Twirl.” She was most definitely star-struck. Storytelling is a large part of Nicks’ concert performances. Against a backdrop of ’80s graphics with fairies, butterflies and drifting snow, the poet talked about the inspiration behind her songs. She described friendships with people like Tom Petty and the late Prince, travels around the world, her traumatic ordeal with drug addiction and an apparent affluent life-style. Yet, what I heard in between the lines, was a very genuine and caring person. From the 1970s onward, Nicks’ harmonious repertoire has always been in the musical background of my life. Even now, when Jessica and I are on a road trip to one of her artist markets, I get to listen to the entire gamut of Nicks’ long playlist of songs. Taking in her incredibly long and successful career, her ups and downs, the sacrifices she made and her endurance makes Nicks an amazing woman. As she prepared for this 28-city tour, she told the New York Times in an interview, “I just woke up one morning, and said I have two years oﬀ before Fleetwood Mac comes knocking on my door for another tour. Why would I want to sit around and do nothing?” Though she sings about fairytales and in some ways lives a fairy-tale life, she is a real-life inspiration to women and men of all ages.

She described friendships with people like Tom Petty and the late Prince, travels around the world, her traumatic ordeal with drug addiction and an apparent affluent life-style. Yet, what I heard in between the lines, was a very genuine and caring person.

Wanted to tative assembly.

Flying or driving?â€? So began our The at Unoâ€™s, and listened to plans. Downtowner jazz at Green Mill Lounge, purportedly the oldest I had come to know continuously operating Tonya and June over a decade ago through involve- jazz club in America and once a ment in Corinth Theatre-Arts hangout of Al Caponeâ€™s. The initial plan was to drive when I acted in the play â€œBus Stop.â€? I was introduced to Dio, from Corinth to Peoria, spend a former Kimberly-Clark em- the night with Dio, and then ployee in Corinth who now lives head on to the city. However, near Peoria, during the summer this route would take approxiof 2014, when the three of us mately 12 hours. Since our had parts in the musical â€œHair- duration was limitedâ€”from sprayâ€? on the CT-A stage. I came Thursday afternoon to Sunday to know Sopa, who now lives â€” I proposed we take a flight in Lansing, through Tonya and to Chicago Thursday night and June, who had become friends meet everyone there. I purwith her when she operated the chased Southwest tickets for Thai restaurant Blazing Noodlez Tonya, June, and myself, and we were set. on Cruise Street in Corinth. Meanwhile, Sopa booked our How could I refuse Sting in concert? I came to know Sting accommodations a block or in the 1980s as a pre-adolescent two away from the Magnificent Top 40 listener and admirer Mile, close to the cosmopolitan of his band The Police. I recall action. We had two rooms at struggling to sound out the word the Freehand, a hostel oďŹ€ering â€œSynchronicity,â€? the title of the traditional queen-bed rooms as fifth and final Police studio al- well as ship or dorm-style quad bum released in the summer bunks built against the corner of 1983, as I prepared to enter of a wall.

We came to know each other, listening with interest as we sat in the floor of one room at the hostel Saturday night, conversing, pondering our own lives and those of both old friends and newfound friends. Later, June posted on social media, saying, â€œYou know, when I was younger I use to turn up my nose at these bevies of grown women traveling together, acting like they were in college. But thatâ€™s exactly what we did. And we had a blast.â€? and Maria, inhabited the other room with four bunk beds. After we landed and settled in, I procured a reprise of Italian beef at Portilloâ€™s, followed by an evening of camaraderie and tunes at the Redhead Piano Bar around the corner. We lingered until into the morning, sampling Sinatra, the Rolling Stones, and a taste of the familiar MidSouth, as the piano man performed Marc Cohnâ€™s 1991 song â€œWalking in Memphis.â€? Our scant days were spent soaking up what we could see in that time. We visited the housewares segment of Bloomingdaleâ€™s across the street from the hostel, located inside a threestory building resembling a mosque, built by Shriners and once used for circus-like performances. We browsed dishware and interior goods, including a mattress with a price tag of over

$19,000. We also visited Millenium Parkâ€™s famous Cloud Gate sculpture, known informally as â€œThe Beanâ€? for a group photo opportunity. We ventured to Navy Pier, although 20-degree temperatures prevented us from staying outdoors long. We surveyed installments of modern art at the Museum of Contemporary Art. We sampled cocktails on the 95th floor of the Signature Room of the John Hancock Building, overlooking the skyline and lake as the sun veered below the horizon, and the lights of the city became electric. In the midst of our travels, we enjoyed the company. Friday we stood listening to 90 high-energy minutes of Sting perform both old and new songs in the Aragon Ballroom, a venue built in 1926, with an interior resembling a Spanish village. We came to

But thatâ€™s exactly what we did. And we had a blast.â€? Sunday we parted company, as Tonya and June flew from Midway back into Memphis, and I flew from Oâ€™Hare to Nashville for work the next two days. Tonya posted a fitting end to the trip on social media, as the plane, bumpy from turbulence, landed in the rain in Memphis. She borrowed the caption for the video of the landing from Cohnâ€™s song â€œWalking in Memphis,â€? which we had heard both Thursday and Saturday nights in Chicagoâ€™s Redhead Piano Bar: â€œTouched down in the land of the Delta Blues in the middle of the pouring rain.â€? The entire experience proved rich â€” from the land of the Delta Blues to the Windy City and back.
