Bain fights for special children Tour

event returns

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

JACKSON — A bill aimed at helping special needs children in Mississippi is closer to becoming law.

The House of Representatives recently passed the Equal Opportunity for Students with Special Needs Act, which will provide up to $6,500 annually for children with special needs. If it becomes law, parents will submit an application to the Mississippi Department of Education for a voucher to help with the cost of removing a special needs child from public schools because of poor services. Only 500 vouchers will be issued each year for five years.

The voucher will provide parents up to $6,500 to pay for tuition at an eligible private school, tutoring services, curriculum materials, transportation, testing supplies, therapies and textbooks.

Some lawmakers objected to the special needs act due to funding questions.

Corinth native and District 2 Rep. Nick Bain (DAlcorn) passionately offered an amendment to the act that was supported by the Mississippi School Boards Association, The Parents’ Campaign and the Equal Opportunity for Students.

“My amendment would have provided more transparency in terms of funding,” Bain said. “Also, special needs students would have been able to stay in public school,

actually got pretty animated during the session. It’s just not right. It’s like we are politicalizing these kids and their families,” added Bain. “I’m thankful something is being done for special needs children in Mississippi — it’s long overdue, but in my opinion, it still needs some work.”

A question on the minds of many Crossroads residents was finally answered this week — there will be a home tour this year, sort of.

The Friends of the VerandahCurlee House committee recently held their first meeting of the year to discuss their annual home tour fundraiser.

“We’re going to do things a little different this year — we’re not going to ofter any actual homes to tour, but we are going spotlight the home we’ve been working so hard over the years to save,” said home tour chairperson Laura Albright.

Set for the first weekend in June, the committee will host the special two-day event on the grounds of the Historic Verandah-Curlee House.

“The event will provide the first glimpse into the Verandah-Curlee House since renovation began,” said Albright. “The house will not be ready to be completely toured, but it will be decorated. Visitors will be able to go inside the main hallway and look into some of the

Bain’s amendment would

have provided up to 4,000 special needs children with up to $4,000 each based on household income to be used on a number of different services and supplies. The requirement to spend the money on private school tuition would have been lifted.

Bain’s amendment died, lacking just two votes to pass.

Kmart wants flood trial CHS students performing musical

BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Associated Press

JACKSON — Kmart Corporation is asking a federal appeals court to order a trial in its lawsuit against a shopping center owner for flood damage to one of its stores in Corinth.

Kmart contends it has evidence to support its arguments that property owner Fulton Improvements LLC knew a neighboring Kroger was built in a floodway, and caused water to flood the Kmart store in 2010 In May 2010, heavy rain pelted the Corinth area. The Kmart store sustained extensive flood damage and was closed for repairs from the time of the flood until February 2011, when the store reopened for business. Kmart argues it incurred additional costs to prevent subsequent damage from another anticipated flood event.

Kmart sued the Kroger Company and the city of Corinth in May 2011. The city was dis-

missed as a defendant in 2013.

The case was dismissed against Kroger and Fulton Improvements in 2014. Kmart appealed the dismissal of the lawsuit against Fulton Improvements to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

A 5th Circuit panel will hear arguments in the case on April 7 in New Orleans.

Kmart alleges a neighboring Kroger grocery was built in a floodway, and caused water to flood the Kmart store in 2010.

The two stores are the retail anchors of the Fulton Crossing Shopping Center in Corinth.

Kmart claimed Kroger’s position in a floodway caused a rise in floodwaters during a May 2010 heavy rain. The water flooded the Kmart store and caused it to close for 10 months for repairs. Court records show that Fulton Improvements owned the building housing Please see KMART | 6A

she ever imagined.

According to Treadway, now is the perfect time to perform the movie turned Broadway hit.

“This is my fourth year teaching theater, and for the first time I have mostly girls in my class,” said the teacher. “So to do a musical with mostly girl roles just makes sense. To be honest, I’ve always wanted to do ‘Legally Blonde.’ I’ve always thought it would be so much fun for the kids, and so far it has been.

My girls, and guys, really shine in this one.”

The PG-13 script did get a few edits before the CHS drama class got their hands on it.

“There were some parts of the script I wasn’t comfortable with the kids performing,”

she said. “We were able to work closely with the licensing company to edit out some of the questionable lines and scenes.”

Treadway said even with a few missing scenes, the play is still fun and high energy.

“The famous bend and snap scene from the movie has a very funny musical number which the girls have a blast with,” said Treadway.

The play also features two local animals.

“It’s very interesting that the dog playing the part of Bruiser is deaf,” said Treadway. “We have all had to learn sign language for dogs — there’s no such thing as a noninteresting day in the theater business.”

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 22, 1765, the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act to raise money from the American colonies, which fiercely resisted the tax.

The Stamp Act was repealed a year later.

On this date: In 1820, U.S. naval hero Stephen Decatur was killed in a duel with Commodore James Barron near Washington, D.C. In 1894, hockey’s first Stanley Cup championship game was played; home team Montreal defeated Ottawa, 3-1.

In 1933, during Prohibition, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure to make wine and beer containing up to 3.2 percent alcohol legal.

In 1934, the first Masters Tournament opened under the title “Augusta National Invitation Tournament,” which was won three days later by Horton Smith.

In 1945, the Arab League was formed with the adoption of a charter in Cairo, Egypt.

In 1958, movie producer Mike Todd, the husband of actress Elizabeth Taylor, and three other people were killed in the crash of Todd’s private plane near Grants, New Mexico.

In 1963, The Beatles’ debut album, “Please Please Me,” was released in the United Kingdom by Parlophone.

In 1978, Karl Wallenda, the 73-year-old patriarch of “The Flying Wallendas” high-wire act, fell to his death while attempting to walk a cable strung between two hotel towers in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

In 1990, a jury in Anchorage, Alaska, found former tanker captain Joseph Hazelwood not guilty of three major charges in connection with the Exxon Valdez oil spill, but convicted him of a minor charge of negligent discharge of oil.

In 1995, convicted Long Island Rail Road gunman Colin Ferguson was sentenced to life for killing six people.

One year ago: A massive mudslide in Oso, Washington, killed 43 people and destroyed or damaged four dozen homes. A barge and cargo ship collision in the Houston Ship Channel dumped nearly 170,000 gallons of heavy fuel oil.

Pope Francis named the first members of a commission to advise him on sex abuse policy.

Kicking off a huge local election season, the American Legion Post No. 6 of Corinth will host a political rally from 8 a.m. until the last candidate speaks May 2.

A bipartisan meeting open to everyone, attendees will have the opportunity to meet the candidates as they receive free information.

Hamburgers, hot dogs, nachos and other refreshments will be served.

“The cost is $15 per candidate for about eight minutes,” said Bobby McDaniel, a member of the Legion’s executive committee. “Walk-ins will be charged an additional $5 to speak if they haven’t signed the roster in advance.”

“In order to be added to the agenda, you must visit the

American Legion from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday,” he added.

“If a state or federal candidate walks in, we will plug them in as they probably have other places they need to be.”

This year’s ballot is jam-packed with candidates. The election of a new sheriff is a hot-button field with seven candidates going toe to toe for the title.

Local candidates include five

rooms.”

Built in 1857 by one of Corinth’s founding fathers, the Greek Revival house was used in the Civil War as headquarters for Gen. Braxton Bragg. A major renovation costing more than $2 million is set to wrap up this year.

“We are planning a lot of neat activities to be held on the grounds,” added Albright. “It’s going to be more of a festival than a home tour — in fact, we may not even call the event a home tour.”

Albright said the committee is set to meet again in two weeks to finalize the event name, ticket price and other details.

“The luncheon, which was a popular addition to last year’s tour, will be back this year,” she said.

“Along with some other really neat activities like a cooking demo and a children’s tea.”

In six years, the group has donated more than $75,000 to The Siege and Battle of Corinth Commission to help restore the historic house.

CHILDREN CONTINUED FROM 1A

Bain said parents of special needs students he spoke with in Corinth and Alcorn County do not want to remove their children from public school, as they would have to do to be eligible for the Equal Opportunity for Students with Special Needs Act. “They just wanted the public schools to be better equipped to provide the services their children are entitled to receive,” he said. “The amendment I created was an attempt to do that.”

The Equal Opportunity for Students with Special Needs Act, known as Senate Bill 2695, will now head to the Senate for revisions before heading to the governor.

The bill will most likely become law as Gov. Phil Bryant asked lawmakers before the session began to ensure the bill made it to his desk.

PORT GIBSON — The body of a black man found hanging in a tree in Mississippi has been sent from a state crime lab to a funeral home, but the FBI said it will be days before autopsy results are complete.

Until then, investigators are holding off on saying whether Otis Byrd was killed or took his own life, and they’re urging people to be patient.

“The community deserves answers. Specifically, the family deserves answers,” Don Alway, special agent in charge of the FBI office in Jackson, told a crowd Friday outside the Claiborne County Courthouse in Port Gibson. He said preliminary information about the cause of death is expected next week.

“We’re doing everything in our power to be transparent, to talk about what’s going on so far,” Alway said. “But we want to reiterate that individual, single pieces of information and bits of rumors, we’re going to hold off on speaking to those until we can collectively come to a conclusion and

dangling about 2 feet off the ground, and his hands were not bound, Lucas said.

“Life matters,” Lucas told the crowd at the courthouse where he appeared with Alway.

“I commit to you, as the sheriff of Claiborne County, that I will not allow the shadows of the past to cast a shadow on the future.”

Byrd’s body was released on Friday to a Port Gibson funeral home, said Mississippi Department of Public Safety spokesman Warren Strain. An employee at Rollins Funeral Home said funeral arrangements will be made early next week.

Byrd worked on offshore oil rigs and enjoyed gambling in casinos in his off time after getting out of prison, where he served 26 years for fatally shooting a woman while robbing $101 from her convenience store in 1980.

He wasn’t the type to kill himself, friends and family said.

“He tried to turn his life around. He was going to church every Sunday,” said his stepsister Tracy Wilson.

get you the truth that everybody deserves.”

Early Saturday, the FBI issued a statement saying that agents are in the process of tracking down relatives and acquaintances of Byrd, both in and out of state.

The county coroner confirmed that the man found hanging from a white sheet Thursday was Byrd, a 54-year-old exconvict who was reported missing by his family more than two weeks ago.

Byrd lived just 200 yards from the spot where his body was found, in woods behind his house.

Alway said investigators are interviewing Byrd’s family and friends and searching his rental home and a storage unit for clues.

“We are trying to paint a picture of Byrd’s life.

We are trying to find out what was going on with him personally and professionally,” he said.

Claiborne County Sheriff Marvin Lucas Sr. told The Associated Press earlier Friday that Byrd did not appear to have stepped off of anything in the area where he was found hanging by a sheet from a tree limb about 12 feet high. His feet were

Grace Community Church isn’t sitting back.

The new church, which opened Jan. 4, is going out in the community to tell others about Jesus Christ.

Grace Community will continue its effort to reach individuals outside of its four walls on Easter Sunday with its “SonRise Service” at Crossroads Regional Park.

“This is one way to be visible to the community,” said Grace Community pastor Tim Alvis. “It will be another effort to be the church instead of just doing church.”

The April 5 event starts at 7 a.m. at the pavilion behind the playground of the city park.

“The park is a good venue to have something like this,” said Alvis. “We feel like it is important to recognize the price Jesus paid for us on this day.”

Grace Community Church holds service each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Services are held at the Alcorn Baptist Building. Wednesday night Bible study is also held at 5:30 p.m. at the building located at 1612 Hinton St. in front of Lowe’s.

Alvis plans to start Sunday school May 3 at Grace Community.

“We want to be a church which carries the word out to the community,” he said.

Corinth, Miss.

Our View

Major survey finds record low confidence in federal government We have no faith in our federal government.

At least that’s what a recent national survey revealed.

Americans’ confidence in all three branches of government is at or near record lows, according to a major survey that has measured attitudes on the subject for 40 years.

The 2014 General Social Survey finds only 23 percent of Americans have a great deal of confidence in the Supreme Court, 11 percent in the executive branch and 5 percent in Congress. By contrast, half have a great deal of confidence in the military.

The survey is conducted by the independent research organization NORC at the University of Chicago. Because of its long-running and comprehensive set of questions about the public, it is a highly regarded source of data about social trends. An analysis of its findings on confidence in institutions was conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the General Social Survey.

Using in-person interviewing, the survey started in 1972 and completed its 30th round in 2014.

Some of the results are disturbing as to the lack of faith we have in our government.

The 11 percent who say they’re confident in the presidency approaches a record low measured by the same survey in 1996, when just 10 percent said they had a great deal of confidence in the executive branch. The 44 percent who now say they have hardly any confidence at all is at a record high.

Historically, the survey has found that Democrats have more confidence in the executive branch when the sitting president is a Democrat, and Republicans have more confidence when the president is a Republican.

That isn’t surprising.

In the 2014 survey, just 3 percent of Republicans say they have a lot of confidence in the presidency, down from a record high 45 percent who said so in 2002, when overall confidence in the presidency was also at the highest point the survey has measured, at 27 percent.

Then, President George W. Bush was still riding a crest of support in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The 2014 survey finds that confidence in the Supreme Court has fallen among Democrats, Republicans and independents since 2012, driving confidence in the court to a 40-year low overall.

The 26 percent of Democrats with a lot of confidence in the court is a record low in the history of the survey, while Republican confidence in the high court, at 22 percent, is also near an all-time low.

Overall, 2 in 10 say they have hardly any confidence in the court, a record high, while more than half have only some confidence.

Our U.S. Congress took the biggest negative hit.

Hardly anyone has much confidence in Congress, the survey shows. Over half of Americans express hardly any confidence at all, while only 7 percent of Democrats, 5 percent of independents and 3 percent of Republicans have a great deal of confidence in Congress.

Government isn’t the only area with not much confidence. The media took a hit as well in the survey.

Confidence has decreased since the 1970s, when about a quarter of Americans expressed a great deal of confidence in the press. Now, a record low of 7 percent have a lot of confidence, while 44 percent have hardly any confidence at all.

Republicans are the least likely to express a lot of confidence in the press, at only 3 percent, but Democrats aren’t far behind at 10 percent.

Only 1 in 10 has a lot of confidence in television, which is also near a record low.

It appears our government and our media have some work to do in gaining the confidence of citizens all across the country.

We may have no faith in Congress, but we sure have many folks in Northeast Mississippi wanting a seat there.

At last count, 13 people seek our vacant congressional seat in the upcoming special election.

By electing the best candidate, maybe we will have a little more confidence on the home front then the rest of the country.

Prayer for today Gracious Father, I pray that thou wilt free me from evil thoughts before they become a habit.

Create in me that freedom which makes me not ashamed to acknowledge the wrong, and which will enable me to stand for the right. Quicken my thoughts, that they may keep my heart inspired.

Amen.

A verse to share “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.” — Proverbs 1:10

Civil Rights changed legal landscape OXFORD — Just as an obituary sums up a person’s whole life in a few sentences, time compresses history into headlines.

■ The British were oppressive, so American colonists threw off the yoke and created the United States of America.

■ Hitler, Mussolini and the emperor of Japan wanted to control the world, but the Allied powers put an end to their nefarious ways.

■ White Americans, especially in the South and overwhelmingly in Mississippi, were racists until the Civil Rights Movement came along and made everybody equal.

Wait. Is that last one right?

Let’s see if it can be worded a little more precisely.

Let’s resist the temptation to overly condense.

The Declaration of Independence came 281 years after European settlement of the New World began.

Lots happened.

And certainly conquering of Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito didn’t eliminate evil from the planet.

Just as certainly the Civil Rights Movement did not cleanse the nation of racism.

With 50th anniversaries of so many events of that movement, including the whopper remembrance of the march at Selma,

Ala., there’s cause (and opportunity) to dig deeper.

Try this as a more acCharlie curate sumMitchell mary: ■ Jim Columnist Crow laws institutionalized racism by keeping black Americans from voting, by keeping schools, hotels and public transit racially segregated and by allowing racial discrimination in housing and employment until the Civil Rights Movement resulted in federal laws and court rulings overcoming such official acts and business practices.

That’s better.

It makes clear that the movement’s main target was the law. That’s where it succeeded.

Changing individual hearts and minds was a side benefit. It was good that so many who thought segregation was OK thought things through and came to a different understanding, as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. advocated.

It was good that so many “saw the light” as a result of atrocities such as the unprovoked beatings and bloodshed at Selma.

Not a lot of people who were in that march are still around. U.S. Rep. John

Lewis, D-Ga., is. He sustained a skull fracture. In a story about the anniversary events, he was asked about linkage between the violence at Selma in 1965 and the violence that followed the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., last year. He told The Associated Press there was one distinction: “The only thing that is so different (is that) today, I don’t think many of the young people have a deep understanding of the ways of nonviolent direct action.”

Andrew Young, in the same story, elaborated: “There was nothing magic about Selma,” said the aide to Dr. King who went on to be ambassador to the United Nations and mayor of Atlanta. “Selma just gave us the right to vote.

But if you don’t vote, and don’t take advantage of that right, you’re living in a pre-Selma age.”

If you didn’t get Young’s point, read his quote again. It’s profound. It asks, “What has been done with the freedom’s won?”

The sad answer? In Ferguson where two-thirds of residents are black, voter turnout in the mayoral election three months after Brown was killed, according to the AP story, was 12.2 percent. About one of 10 people voted.

Selma meant nothing — zero, zip nada — to them.

Again, the Civil Rights Movement resulted in new legal barriers and legal consequences for those engaging in racism, but did nothing to end it. People, regardless of age or color, are as individually free in 2015 as they were in 1965 to adopt and hold racist beliefs.

It is equally accurate to say that practicing the full rights that come with American citizenship is as optional as it ever was, except for a wider array of Americans. People choose whether to work for and seek education, choose whether to create and sustain families and choose whether to work constructively to improve their communities.

History should not lead us to believe the Civil Rights Movement had the purpose or the effect of any direct or forced change to anything other than the law.

The Voting Rights Act was passed by Congress and signed by President Lyndon Johnson a mere five months after the bloodshed near the Edmund Pettus Bridge. But absent constructive, personal use of the freedoms won, the anniversary is meaningless.

Will pot growth be next tribal gaming?

STARKVILLE — Let’s take a little trip down memory lane as it relates to casino gaming in Mississippi.

Casino gaming was legalized in Mississippi in 1990 and was by 1992 open for business on the Gulf Coast and the Mississippi River.

But Mississippi’s gaming landscape – tied to the shores of the Gulf or the banks of the Mississippi by legislative intent – changed in 1992 when then-Gov. Kirk Fordice gave permission for the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians to develop a gaming enterprise under a gaming compact. The Silver Star Casino opened in 1994 and the Golden Moon Casino followed in 2002. By 2010, the MBCI had opened the Bok Homa Casino near Sandersville in Jones County.

One of the few significant political defeats of former Gov. Haley Barbour was his opposition to the Bok Homa Casino.

He threw his considerable political weight around in Washington and in Jackson in efforts to stop the development, but to no avail.

The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians operates those developSid Salter ments under Columnist both federal and tribal Indian gaming statutes and under a special compact with the State of Mississippi.

That compact was signed Dec. 4, 1992, between the late Fordice and the late Choctaw Chief Phillip Martin.

It was amended to tighten regulations regarding casino employee gaming prohibitions, employee background checks and other technical matters on Aug. 26, 1994, and again on May 24, 1996, to allow for annual per capita distributions of casino profits to tribal members.

In other words, there is one political reality for non-Native American folks in the gaming business in Mississippi and quite another for Native Americans in that business.

Now consider efforts of a different kind among the Native American tribes in the state of Maine.

In December, the U.S. Justice Department announced that it would allow the nation’s Indian tribes to legalize and regulate medicinal or recreational marijuana on their lands so long as they observe the same federal guidelines that states must follow after marijuana legalization – such as keeping the drug away from children and drugged driving enforcement.

Marijuana use remains illegal under federal law, but 23 states, including Maine, have legalized marijuana for medical use and four states and Washington, D.C., have legalized it for recreational use. Two voter referendums are on the Maine ballot in 2016 to legalize recreational marijuana if the Maine Legislature doesn’t beat the voters to the draw.

In California, a $10 million medical marijuana operation is being built on the tribal lands of the Pomo Nation. Now back to Mississippi.

There is an active voter initiative drive underway in Mississippi to legalize marijuana in the form of Initiative 48.

The political viability

World Wide Web: www.dailycorinthian.com To Sound Off: E-mail: email: news@dailycorinthian.com Circulation 287-6111 Classified Adv. 287-6147

of the pro-marijuana initiative is sketchy at best here in Mississippi – the veritable gold buckle of the Bible Belt. Should the petition drive succeed and the referendum actually be placed on the ballot, Mississippians would witness essentially the world’s largest local option election with the state’s churches on one side and would-be pot sellers and consumers on the other.

But the little known Justice Department decision that empowers Native Americans to get in the pot business does make the possibilities interesting – especially when one takes a little trip down memory lane on the issue of casino gaming in Mississippi.

Mississippi Choctaws have said not a word about the recent federal ruling.

But as Fordice and Barbour learned, there are at times two sets of rules when it comes to sovereign tribal nations.

Across the Nation Associated Press

Bill: Allow sick pets to use medical pot CARSON CITY, Nev. — Pets might soon be able to use pot under a bill introduced last week in the Nevada Legislature.

Democratic Sen. Tick Segerblom is sponsoring the measure that would allow animal owners to get marijuana for their pet if a veterinarian certifies the animal has an illness that might be alleviated by the drug.

Segerblom said he’s concerned that some animals migh t have adverse reactions, but “you don’t know until you try,” he said.

Some veterinarians who have given cannabis to sick and dying pets say it has relieved their symptoms, although the substance hasn’t been proven as a painkiller for animals.

Los Angeles veterinarian Doug Kramer told The Associated Press in 2013 that pot helped ease his Siberian husky’s pain during her final weeks, after she had surgery to remove tumors. Kramer said cannabis helped his dog, Nikita, gain weight and live an extra six weeks before she was euthanized.

“I grew tired of euthanizing pets when I wasn’t doing everything I could to make their lives better,” Kramer told the AP. “I felt like I was letting them down.”

The proposal is in its earliest stages and faces several legislative hurdles before it could become law.

Man with machete shot by lieutenant KENNER, La. — The New Orleans airport concourse that became a scene of chaos when a machete-wielding man was shot by a sheriff’s lieutenant re-opened Saturday morning and a spokeswoman said airport operations were normal.

Meanwhile, the suspect in the bizarre Friday night attack at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport remained in serious condition at a hospital.

Richard White, 62, of Kenner is alleged to have approached a security checkpoint, spraying agents and travelers with wasp killer before drawing a machete from

his waistband and chasing a security agent.

White, who is believed to be a former taxi driver, was shot three times by a sheriff’s office lieutenant who was stationed at the concourse.

“We don’t know what his motive was,” Col. John Fortunato of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office said.

Authorities said they believed White has worked as a taxi driver.

A sheriff’s news release said he had “a few minor arrests.” Fortunato said investigators were continuing Saturday to check into his employment and criminal history.

White approached the security checkpoint at the airport’s busy Concourse B shortly before 8 p.m.

Sheriff Newell Normand said White sprayed Transportation Security Administration agents and several passengers in line at the checkpoint with wasp killer. He then drew a large machete from the waistband of his pants.

U.S. must release prisoner abuse pics NEW YORK — The U.S. must release photographs showing abuse of detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan, a federal judge has ruled in a long-running clash over letting the world see potentially disturbing images of how the military treated prisoners.

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein’s ruling Friday gives the government, which has fought the case for over a decade, two months to decide whether to appeal before the photos could be released.

The American Civil Liberties Union has been seeking to make the photos, including images from the infamous Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, public in the name of holding government accountable.

“The photos are crucial to the public record,” said Jameel Jaffer, ACLU deputy legal director. “They’re the best evidence of what took place in the military’s detention centers.”

The Defense Department is studying the ruling and will make any further responses in court, spokesman Lt. Col. Myles Caggins III said.

The fight over the photographs reaches back to the early years of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it invokes the images of abuse at Abu Ghraib that sparked international outrage after they emerged in 2004 and 2006. Early in the 2004 lawsuit, the ACLU pointed to the Abu Ghraib photos as priority examples of records the organization was seeking on the treatment of detainees.

Abortion stalls bill on sex trafficking WASHINGTON — The Senate’s 100 members don’t agree on much. They agreed they wanted legislation to help the victims of sex trafficking. Then the bill got caught up in the emotional and uncompromising politics of abortion.

Now the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act is stalled, its outlook uncertain.

Democrats are insisting Republicans remove an abortion funding provision. Republicans are refusing to do so and demanding that Democrats back down.

President Barack Obama’s attorney general nominee, Loretta Lynch, is caught in the crossfire, since Republican leaders decided to hold off her confirmation vote until the situation with the sex trafficking bill is resolved.

That might not happen for the better part of a month or more, with senators set to vote on the budget next week before leaving town for a two-week recess.

The stalemate over a bill meant to help some of the most vulnerable members of society is embarrassing and disappointing to all involved. Senators of both parties say they want to break the impasse and move the legislation forward, and negotiations are ongoing.

Yet at least so far, neither side has been moved enough by the plight of tens of thousands of trafficking victims to bend and find an acceptable compromise. The situation illustrates that when it comes to abortion, other considerations can get sidelined as even the most pragmatic lawmakers get pushed into ideological corners with no easy way out.

Ship named for late U.S. Rep. Murtha PASCAGOULA — The memory of a longtime Pennsylvania congressman was honored on the Mississippi Gulf Coast with the christening of a vessel at Ingalls Shipbuilding.

The John P. Murtha — a 25,000-ton amphibious transport dock — had been under construction for three years.

Murtha was a decorated Marine Corps veteran who retired with the rank of colonel after serving 37 years, including duty in Vietnam. He served Pennsylvania’s 12th Congressional District from 1974 until his death in 2010. He gained a reputation as a staunch supporter of the military as chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense.

Murtha’s widow, Joyce Murtha, attended Saturday’s ceremonies in Pascagoula. His daughter, Donna S. Murtha, broke a bottle of sparkling wine across the ship’s bow.

Man sentenced to 3 years for tax fraud JACKSON — A Mississippi man has been sentenced to 37 months in federal prison for tax fraud.

Prosecutors say in a news release that 57-year-old Flowers Curtis of Hermanville was sentenced Thursday by U.S. District Judge David C. Bramlette. Curtis was also given three years of supervised release.

Curtis was ordered to pay restitution of $185,176.

Curtis was convicted in August of 2014 of seven counts of filing false income tax returns for tax years 2008-2011 in Claiborne County and Franklin County.

NATCHEZ — A clean energy company has executed an 18 month option with Adams County for 70 acres of the former International Paper property.

EmberClear GTL MS, a Canada-based company, is proposing natural gasto-liquids project that could produce 4,000 barrels of methanol daily and will be capable of converting it into 14,000 barrels of gasoline and liquid petroleum gasses a day.

Natchez Inc. Executive Director Chandler Russ tells The Natchez Democrat that the process is still in the early stages.

Russ says the company is worked to get permits moved on the property.

EmberClear officials have said the project will create about 1,000 construction jobs and 150 jobs when completed.

Russ says the county has already received its payment for the option on the property. He says EmberClear is looking at financing.

FACT: Most colorectal cancers occur in people with no family history.

Colorectal Cancer Screening Saves Lives Colorectal cancer is the 2nd leading cancer killer in the U.S. But it can be prevented. Screening helps find precancerous polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer. Screening can also find colorectal cancer early, when treatment is most effective.

• When discovered in its early stages, colorectal cancer is upp to 90% curabble.

• Men and women age 50 and older should be screened regularly.

• Colonoscopy is the most effective screeningg procedure when performed by an experienced gastroenterologist specializing in endoscopy.

Hospitals, tax-scofflaw docs targeted in deal

BY ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — House aides released an outline late last week of an emerging bipartisan deal shielding physicians from Medicare cuts and pumping more funds to popular programs for children’s health and community health centers.

In a first hint of some of the measure’s fine print, the bare-bones summary said lawmakers would raise money partly by targeting Medicare providers who are tax scofflaws. In the winner’s category, the agreement would also help Tennessee hospitals serving large numbers of poor patients and makers of medical equipment who bid for Medicare business.

The one-page document provides no price tags and few specifics.

But as lawmakers, congressional aides and lobbyists have said for days, it would cost roughly $210 billion over a decade, with around $140 billion financed by adding to federal deficits, aides said Friday. The remaining $70 billion would be split about evenly between Medicare providers and ben-

eficiaries.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., have been seeking the agreement for two months in hopes of resolving a problem that has haunted Congress for years.

As medical inflation soared, a formula in a 1997 budget law aimed at reining in Medicare costs has ended up threatening doctors with deep cuts in Medicare reimbursements that lawmakers have staved off every year since 2003.

Physicians have warned the constant threat of cuts could prompt them to stop treating Medicare patients.

The bipartisan compromise would erase that formula, including averting a 21 percent cut in physician Medicare reimbursements set for April 1. Instead, the plan would give Medicare physicians 0.5 percent annual fee increases for the next five years and offer financial incentives to charge patients for quality of care, not for each treatment.

In a letter to House Democrats Friday, Pelosi hailed the measure for “providing certainty to our seniors and sta-

bility to providers.” On Thursday, Boehner said it was a chance to “solve this problem once and for all.”

House leaders hope to push the measure through their chamber by late next week, shortly before Congress begins a two-week spring recess.

Its Senate fate is less clear. Democrats there have complained that the measure should extend a children’s health program for four years, not just two as in the agreement. They also dislike its increased costs for some Medicare beneficiaries and language curbing abortions at community health centers.

The summary says federal payments to Tennessee hospitals for treating low-income people would be extended through 2025.

It would help major producers of durable medical goods and prosthetic devices by penalizing low-ball bidders for Medicare business.

That provision comes from a House-passed bill sponsored by Rep. Pat Tiberi, R-Ohio, whose state is home to Invacare Corp., one of the country’s largest makers of home medical devices like wheelchairs.

said in court briefs that Kmart erroneously argues that Fulton Improvements knew it needed to take flood protection measures at Kmart after a 2009 county study showed the propensity for the city of Corinth to flood.

“Kmart cites no case which holds a county wide flood study is sufficient to put an individual landlord on notice to take any particular flood protection measures,” Jacks wrote in briefs.

Jacks said the study “does not give rise to notice to the landlord under Mississippi law that the type of flood protection measures now requested by Kmart should have been installed.”

Jacks said Kmart had

no proof, expert or otherwise, that “any flood protection measure” would have prevented its store from flooding.

Kmart attorney John T. Balhoff II of New Orleans said in briefs that the facts of the case show that the retailer doesn’t need an expert “to explain that a six-foot flood gate could have kept two feet of water out of Kmart’s store.”

He said Fulton Improvements was trying to confuse the issue by arguing that there would not have been enough time to install the flood gates.

Balhoff said the issue that should be settled at a trial was whether Fulton Improvements had a contractual duty to keep the store dry.

KMART CONTINUED FROM 1A

Kmart and an adjacent Kroger food store.

Kmart argues Fulton Improvements failed to install flood gates or protective measures at Kmart. Kmart argued the lack of flood protection measures and the very presence of the Kroger caused Kmart to flood.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Tired of trying to remember a different password for each of your online accounts? Or worried about re-using the same password too many times?

You’re not alone. Tech experts agree that traditional passwords are annoying, outmoded and too easily hacked.

This week, Yahoo and Microsoft offered up some alternatives: Yahoo says it can text temporary passwords to users’ phones each time they want to sign into their Yahoo accounts. Microsoft says it is building facial-recognition and fingerprint-identification

no more need to create or memorize a password for Yahoo’s email or other services.

Not a good move, experts say. “Yahoo just made it easier for attackers to compromise an account,� said Tim Erlin, risk strategist for the cybersecurity firm Tripwire. Temporary passwords can fall into the hands of anyone who steals your phone. While most phones can be set to require a separate password to unlock the home screen, many people don’t bother to do so. Phones can also be infected with malware that intercepts or copies text messages, he said.

Though it may be convenient, Erlin said, Yahoo’s on-demand option is a step backward from another alternative the company offers, known as two-factor authentication. With that option, users must provide both a traditional password and a one-time code that is texted to their phones.

That’s considered stronger because a hacker would need both to get into a user’s account.

Yahoo security chief Alex Stamos agrees that two-factor authentication is stronger. But many people don’t use it, he said in an online post defending against critics.

Instead, people too often recycle short passwords that are easier to type, especially on small phone screens, but also easy for hackers to guess, he said.

The future The concept of logging in by scanning your fingerprint or face used to seem like sci-fi. But the future is here.

Microsoft said this week that it is building “biometric authentication� technology into the next version of its Windows software, so that users can unlock computers or phones with their face, iris or fingerprint. The devices must have a fingerprint reader or a high-end camera with infrared sensors, which are becoming more common.

Windows 10 users may also be able to use their face or fingerprint to sign into other online accounts. Microsoft is providing related software to builders of independent apps and websites so they too can verify a user’s identity through a combination of biometrics and an encrypted code automatically generated by the user’s computer or phone, Microsoft Vice President Joe Belfiore wrote in a blog post.

Google already offers facial recognition as an option for unlocking Android phones, although it’s not widely used. Early versions were criticized as unreliable, but the technology has improved, said Anil Jain, a biometrics expert at Michigan State University. Apple and Samsung offer fingerprint identification to unlock some phones; Apple also uses it to authorize purchases through Apple Pay.

Since most online services let users reset passwords by sending a text or email to their phones, users are already vulnerable if they lose their device, Stamos argued. “The truth is that passwords are so incredibly, ridiculously broken that it is almost impossible to keep users safe as long as we have any,� Stamos wrote on his Twitter account. He said Yahoo is working on other solutions.

Manipulative twin won’t get help for chronic alcoholism DEAR ABBY: My twin brother is an alcoholic and homeless.

He has never held a job.

Although we have drifted apart, he still contacts me when he needs money, guilt trips me about not having a place to go, and once even faked a drug overdose to get my attention.

I have helped him many times, but he algoes Abigail ways back to his Van Buren old ways.

My heart Dear Abby breaks for him, and the thought of him not having a place to go worries me.

I have a family of my own to support and care for.

He has shown no gratitude for what I have done to help him, and he insists nobody cares about him.

He threatens suicide and won’t get help for his alcohol abuse.

My fiance refuses to allow me to help him anymore. I feel helpless and exhausted.

I’m tired of constantly worrying about him and letting him make me feel guilty for the life he has chosen. Other relatives will have nothing to do with him.

He refuses getting professional help.

Please tell me what to do. — THINKING ABOUT MY WOMB MATE DEAR THINKING: The only person who can divert your brother from his self-destructive path is himself.

Because your attempts at helping him have all failed, recognize that although he refuses getting professional help, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t avail yourself of it.

You appear to be a kind, loving and generous sister who has been taken advantage of for a long time, and it may very well take the help of a mental health professional to help you separate from your twin.

Please consider it, because the sooner you do, the sooner you will begin to feel better.

DEAR ABBY: Three years ago I was laid off from my job and fell into hard times.

As a last resort, I moved back in with my parents and got a job at a retail store.

Over the last three years, I have paid off many of my bills and repaired my credit.

I’m now saving for a new car, looking for a higher-paying job and searching for a roommate to share an apartment.

My parents say my siblings and I are always welcome, that we should move out when we

are ready and come back if we need to.

I have met a lot of judgmental people along the way who assume I want to “live with my parents forever and remain a child” when they learn I live with them.

My family takes care of one another and does not abandon anyone once they have reached a certain age.

What do I say to people who want to advise or admonish me about something that is none of their business? — STILL AN ADULT DEAR STILL AN ADULT: Since you asked for my two cents, allow me to contribute.

I don’t know what kind of people you have been spending time with, but someone who would have the gall to “advise and admonish” you because of the living arrangement you have with your parents is beyond rude.

You shouldn’t feel compelled to defend it or offer any explanations.

Frankly, I think you should avoid these people.

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

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You feel the admiration of someone upon you. Eyes linger a little longer than necessary. Questions are gentle and pointed at the same time. Even if you do not return the sentiment, the attention is flattering.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You gain something from being around the one who fascinates you. Articulate what you’re getting out of the relationship -- like laughter, learning about different interests or cultures, and enjoyment in the moments together.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You are powerful, but you still need people. When they sense this, it’s good for your relationships. So don’t work so hard at trying to convince everyone that you’re completely self-sufficient.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Part of the way you pass down your legacy is to teach the ones you love to do something that you know how to do. Just know that they won’t get it on the first or even the 10th time. Be pa-

tient!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be working in the privacy of your own space, and so no one will know whether you did the right thing or not. No one, that is, except for you -- the one who matters most to your self-esteem.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Nothing favorably changes your brain chemistry and mood more than vigorous exercise. There are reasons you haven’t been able to get as much as you’d like lately, but that all changes today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Sometimes you fear you won’t be able to surpass what you’ve already accomplished. It’s a silly fear, really. Stand tall, reach high, dream big and above all believe in yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

If all you can say of an action is that it’s sensible, that is not enough of a reason to commit to it. What else is in it for you? Excitement? Glamour? Intrigue?

Your life should have all of these qualities. It’s not too much to

ask.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you could pay a visit to yourself, how would you be received? Lately, you’re not 100-percent sure that you’re even on your own side. It’s time to practice hospitality at a very personal level.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will connect with one as bold and ambitious as you are. It will be refreshing to share your thoughts with someone who shares your optimism and high ideals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Some amount of posturing and pretending is to be expected. It’s better to get involved with overly ambitious people than with those who don’t have any ambition at all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Because you can read subtle expressions of feeling, you will offer people what they most want and need. This is the key that will allow you to deeply influence others.

Paige heats up as UNC takes out Arkansas

BY MARK LONG AP Sports Writer

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Marcus Paige scored 22 points, including 20 in the second half, and North Carolina beat Arkansas 87-78 in the NCAA Tournament on Saturday to advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time in three years.

Paige missed seven of eight shots in the first half, including all three from 3-point range, and was pretty much a non-factor as the Tar Heels let the Razorbacks keep things close.

But the junior guard took over in the second half, scoring 13 of his team’s 17 points during a 5-minute stretch that helped North Carolina build a doubledigit lead. The Tar Heels held on from there, thanks partly to Paige closing things out from the free-throw line and with his ball-handling skills.

UNC advanced to play either No. 1 seed Wisconsin or eighth-seeded Oregon in the West Regional next week in Los Angeles. It will be Carolina’s 26th appearance in the Sweet 16.

Michael Qualls led Arkansas with 27 points and 10 rebounds. Southeastern Conference player of the year Bobby Portis finished with 18 points and 14 boards.

This one was no given for UNC, especially after it eked out a victory against Harvard in their opener. The Tar Heels turned the ball over 17 times against the Crimson and knew that kind of performance against the pressing, trapping Razorbacks could mean a third consecutive early exit from the tournament.

The Tar Heels responded with a relatively clean game. They turned it over just six times in the first half and 16 total. They broke the press early, getting easy shots in transition and at the rim.

The only thing that slowed down UNC was foul trouble.

Kennedy Meeks picked up his fourth foul early in the second half, limiting Carolina’s inside game.

Paige picked up the slack. After Arkansas took a 59-58 lead on Jabril Durham’s 3-pointer from the corner, Paige drove by three defenders and got fouled as he made a circus shot. He capped the three-point play and then added consecutive treys a few minutes later that proved to be daggers.

Freshman Justin Jackson, who hit the game-winning shot against Harvard, came up big again down the stretch.

Jackson scored six consecutive points — he made two layups and hit two free throws — that prevented the Hogs from making a comeback.

Jackson finished with 16 points.

J.P. Tokota added 13, and Nate Britt chipped in 10.

Qualls and Portis, much like they have been all season, were quite the two-man show for Arkansas.

Portis had his fourth double-double in the last six games, but made just 5 of 15 shots from the floor. Qualls was his usually explosive self, getting most of his points in transition and on dunks and layups.

But the Razorbacks had too many turnovers (21) and allowed too many points in the paint (40) to pull off the upset.

Tip-Ins Arkansas: Legendary Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson attended the game. ... The Razorbacks lost despite getting 20 offensive rebounds, nine steals, hitting eight treys and making 22 of 27 free throws. ... Portis had five of the nine steals.

North Carolina: Coach Roy Williams improved to 32-8 in the NCAA Tournament with his alma mater, tying late and legendary coach Dean Smith for the program’s most wins in the tourney. ... Williams also notched his 750th career win, becoming the 15th coach in Division I history to accomplish the feat.

MSU fires Ray after 3 seasons

BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

Mississippi State has ended basketball coach Rick Ray’s short tenure after three straight losing seasons eroded a large chunk of the program’s fan support.

The school released a statement announcing the decision on Saturday. Ray had a 37-60 record over three seasons, including a 15-44 mark against Southeastern Conference competition.

Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin told The Associated Press he spent more than a week wrestling with the unpleasant decision before making the call to end

Ray’s tenure.

“Because of the respect I have for Rick, I wanted to believe he could get us where we wanted to be,” Stricklin said.

“But as time passed, I had less confidence that was accurate.

When you get to that point, it’s probably best for all concerned that you try a different direction.”

Ray has two years remaining on a contract that pays about $1 million annually.

Stricklin said the school will owe “a portion” of that salary, but that the contract is not fully guaranteed.

Stricklin acknowledged Ray was doing a good job in several off-the-court areas, but

progress on the court “has not been satisfactory.”

Ray, 44, took over for longtime coach Rick Stansbury, but struggled from the outset.

The Bulldogs just finished a 13-19 season, which included a 6-12 mark in the SEC. Mississippi State has a proud basketball history, with 10 NCAA Tournament appearances, including its only trip to the Final Four in 1996. But those days seemed eons away over the past three years, with the Bulldogs getting clobbered on most nights.

It also hurt that while the Bulldogs were struggling, rival Ole Miss made two NCAA

Tournaments over the past three seasons. Announced attendance dipped to just 6,291 this season, and many nights it looked like about half that many were actually in the stands.

Not only were the Bulldogs bad, they were usually boring.

They ranked near the bottom of the SEC in most offensive categories, focusing on defense to try and win games.

The program briefly looked like it had turned the corner midway through the past season, winning four of six SEC games. But the Bulldogs quickly regressed, losing Please see RAY | 11A

Sweet 16 Sunday

Duke, Lady Bulldogs prep for showdown

BY NOLAN HAYES Associated Press

DURHAM, N.C. — Duke is a traditional power in women’s basketball.

Mississippi State is trying to become one as well.

The fourth-seeded Blue Devils (22-10) face the fifthseeded Bulldogs (27-6) on Sunday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament’s Spokane Region.

The Blue Devils have 15 appearances in the Sweet 16 in the past 17 years. The Bull-

dogs have seven NCAA Tournament wins in their history.

Mississippi State center Martha Alwal said Saturday that “I look at them as like a Tennessee or a South Carolina” because they always seem to appear high in the national polls.

Even if the Bulldogs actually have a higher ranking — they were 12th in the final AP poll, four spots ahead of Duke.

Despite the difference in past success, the teams ap-

pear to be evenly matched at this point in this season.

Mississippi State set program records for wins, Southeastern Conference wins (11) and longest winning streak (18).

Duke, dealing with the in-season transfer of guard Sierra Calhoun and seasonending injuries to Oderah Chidom and Lynee Belton, needed a comeback in the final minute to get past 13thseeded Albany 54-52 on Friday in the opening round.

“We would have had no ability to do that earlier in the year,” Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “People like to take every Duke team and put it up on a pedestal, but the reality is that we have a very inexperienced team. And for what they’ve done, with the schedule we’ve had, given the injuries and the situations that have occurred, it’s been remarkable.”

Kentucky flattens Cincy, advances to Sweet 16

BY GARY B. GRAVES AP Sports Writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Nothing came easy for top-ranked Kentucky against eighth-seeded Cincinnati, which mixed it up with the Wildcats on almost every play.

They didn’t flinch and eventually built a double-digit lead by physically imposing their will on the Bearcats. Kentucky’s reward was college

basketball’s first 36-0 start and a return visit to the Sweet 16 as it cleared an important step in its quest to become the first unbeaten champion since Indiana in 1976.

Aaron Harrison scored 13 points, Trey Lyles added 11 with 11 rebounds and the Wildcats outworked Cincinnati for a 64-51 victory Saturday that showed their resolve even when the numbers worked

against them.

Kentucky shot just 37 percent and was outrebounded 45-38 yet always seemed in control because of timely baskets and rebounds that Cincinnati failed to get.

“I always like it when my team shoots 37, 36, 35 percent and wins in double digits,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said. “It shows them they don’t have to make shots to win.

You can miss them all. No, you can’t miss them all. You can miss most of them, and you can still win games if you defend, you rebound and you play that way, make your free throws, and they did.”

The Wildcats earned their sixth straight double-digit win that helped them surpass last year’s Wichita State squad for Please see KENTUCKY | 11A

Eagles: Hall of Famer Chuck Bednarik passes away at age 89 Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Chuck Bednarik, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the last great two-way NFL players, died early Saturday. He was 89.

Known as “Concrete Charlie,” Bednarik epitomized the tough-guy linebacker and also was an outstanding center for the Eagles from 1949 to 1962.

He is best remembered for

a game-saving tackle at the 9-yard line on the final play of the 1960 title game, and it was typical Bednarik.

He threw Green Bay running back Jim Taylor to the ground and refused to let him up while the final seconds ticked off as the Eagles held on for a 17-13 win.

“Everybody reminds me of it and I’m happy they remind me of it,” Bednarik

once said. “I’m proud and delighted to have played in that game.”

He died at an assisted living facility in Richland, Pennsylvania, following a brief illness, the Eagles said in a statement.

Two of his daughters said Bednarik had dementia, an affliction common in former professional football players.

“He died from dementia

from football-related head injuries,” Charlene Thomas told the The Express-Times of Easton “It was not brief.”

Pamela McWilliams, who also believes football injuries played a role in his decline, said her father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

“I certainly think it played a big role in it — he took a lot of blows and they certainly didn’t have

the safety equipment they have now back then,” McWilliams told The ExpressTimes. “It seemed like quite a few of the guys he played with and against had it.”

Bednarik, who frequently criticized modern athletes, said he played on all but two kickoffs against the Packers and could have kept playing if he needed to, unlike today’s players

who “suck air after five plays.” He missed only three games in his 14-year career.

Born May 1, 1925, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Bednarik flew 30 combat missions over Germany as a gunner during World War II. He then played center for Penn from 1945 to 1948, and was selected first overall in the 1949 NFL draft by the Eagles.

Scoreboard

RAY CONTINUED FROM 10A

six of their final seven games.

This was Ray’s first college head coaching job after working as an assistant at Clemson, Purdue, Northern Illinois and Indiana State.

Mississippi State expects to have several veterans returning next season, including seniors Craig Sword, Fred

Auto racing Thomas and Gavin Ware. Sword was a second-team All-SEC selection. Stricklin said he met with the players who were in Starkville on Saturday and encouraged them to keep up on their academics and workouts.

“I’d like to think this job is more attractive than it was a few years ago and I think Rick deserves credit for that,” Stricklin said.

BULLDOGS CONTINUED FROM 10A

their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2010, when they advanced to the Sweet 16 for the only time in program history. Mississippi State has reached 20 wins in consecutive seasons for only the second time.

The Bulldogs moved into the second round of the tournament with a 57-47 win over 12thseeded Tulane, but they are looking for a much bigger victory Sunday.

“I’m still waiting for us to get it all together and click on one night for 40 minutes,” Mississippi State coach Vic Schaefer said. “Offense, defense, all of it. I think that’s still out there for this team.”

Here are some things to know about the game: Home Sweet Home: Duke has won 19 of its past 20 home games in the NCAA Tournament.

The Blue Devils have won 13 consecutive home games overall, including four victories against ranked opponents.

Green Light: Duke’s Rebecca Greenwell has made 68 3-pointers this season, a Duke record for freshmen. She made 6 of 11 3-point attempts against Albany and is shooting 35.4 percent on 3-pointers this season. The Bulldogs counter with the na-

tion’s third-best 3-point defense, which limits opponents to 24.4 percent.

Clash of the Titans: The game will be a showcase for senior post players. Duke’s Elizabeth Williams is the nation’s leader in blocked shots and is eighth among active players in rebounds (1,060). Alwal of Mississippi State is third (324) and 12th (1,006) in those categories, respectively.

Both players set school records for blocked shots in an NCAA Tournament game in the opening round. Williams had nine blocks against Albany, and Alwal blocked six shots against Tulane.

Magic Number: Mississippi State is 23-0 this season when holding opponents to 65 points or fewer. Duke has scored fewer than 65 points in five of its past seven games.

Ball Security: Mississippi State ranks 13th in the country in turnover differential, while Duke ranks in the bottom quarter of teams in that category after committing 27 turnovers against Albany. “(Schaefer) is the defensive mastermind, and he knows that we don’t have any point guards,” McCallie said. “So I think he’s in a good seat, so to speak.

But I’m excited for our kids to meet that challenge.”

KENTUCKY CONTINUED FROM 10A

the most victories to start the season. Kentucky squashed the Shockers’ run in the third round last March and now looks to extend its roll in Thursday’s Midwest Regional semifinal in Cleveland against the winner of Maryland-West Virginia.

That figures to be tough either way, though Kentucky might be hard pressed to find an opponent as grueling as Cincinnati (23-11). The physical, pesky Bearcats made the Wildcats work hard for every shot and rebound in an intense contest.

But the Wildcats succeeded by making life difficult on both ends for Cincinnati, holding the Bearcats to 32 percent shooting including just 24 percent in the second half. Kentucky blocked six shots after halftime and nine overall while also coming up with key rebounds.

“We went out there, and we matched their intensity and matched their physicalness,” Lyles said.

The Wildcats made 20 of 28 free throws, chances created by their aggressive attack of the basket.

Cincinnati didn’t shoot a free throw until early in the second half and finished 9 of 14 from the line.

“Had we finished a little better down the stretch with some point-blank shots that we had, had we made some free throws, we’d have made it very, very interesting,” Cincinnati associate head coach Larry Davis said.

Troy Caupain had 13 points, Shaq Thomas 10 and Octavius Ellis had

nine with 10 rebounds for Cincinnati, which trailed by 19 points with 1:43 left.

Ellis embodied Cincinnati’s attitude against the Wildcats, often adding an extra push after a play or finding a way to make Kentucky foul him as he tried to establish position down low.

But most notable for Kentucky were the timing of some baskets that ended up snatching momemtum, such as Willie Cauley-Stein’s emphatic flying dunk and free throw during a 10-0 run just before halftime that brought another sea of blue in the crowd to its feet.

“When he does it, we all scream like we did it,” Aaron Harrison said.

“We’re just used to it.”

Aaron Harrison followed with a 3-pointer to cap the run and make it louder, and just like that Kentucky had the momentum it needed in half in which Cincinnati led several times and seemed intent on controlling the flow.

Cincinnati got within three points several times early in the second half, the last time at 35-32 on Ellis’ jumper. Hardfought offensive rebounds created more opportunities, but the Bearcats just couldn’t convert as Kentucky came up with timely rebounds.

That’s because Kentucky didn’t let them.

“I think we did a good job in the first half, and I think we were in the game,” Thomas said, “and we just made a couple mental errors that we need to fix. I think we played real physical with them.”

‘Mountain’ tells story of forgiveness

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“I Left It on the Mountain” by Kevin Sessums c.2015, St. Martin’s Press $25.99 / $29.99 Canada 273 pages I’m sorry.

There they are: two words you learned (or should’ve learned) as a toddler to make amends, set things right, receive forgiveness and move on.

I’m sorry. Please forgive me.

If acknowledged, those words are cathartic and weight-lifting. If ignored, they can crush. Or, as in the new book “I Left It on the Mountain” by Kevin Sessums, they can do both over the course of a lifetime.

On the morning of his 53rd birthday, Kevin Sessums woke up in a funk.

It wasn’t his workload

that his body had “already begun to rebel at”; he was scheduled that evening to attend an Oscar party with Courtney Love. No, what plagued him was that he’d signed up to walk the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain, a pilgrimage of 500-some miles.

Sessums wasn’t sure what he hoped to gain by walking the Camino. He’d been told that the trek was spiritual, one “that pilgrims have walked for over 2,000 years.” He’d been told that it would change him.

Change was what he realized he needed.

As a child growing up in Mississippi, Sessums was a “sissy boy” and he knew that he’d disappointed his father. Efforts to align with his father betrayed his mother in ways that hurt her. But

because both his parents died when Sessums was 9 years old, he couldn’t ask for their forgiveness.

Molested at 13, now HIV positive and feeling abandoned as an adult, Sessums had been bingeing on drugs and sex for months when a friend suggested the Camino.

The journey “beckoned” – but not without questions.

“How,” Sessums mused, “do I fully combine the spiritual with the carnal?”

Weeks later, the answer arrived in pieces as he chose the more difficult path of the Camino walk, up hills and through mud, fighting blisters and exhaustion but noticing men and miracles. Answers would come as he learned to “let go” and as he met people he enjoyed, “including now myself.”

But that’s not the pinnacle of this powerful memoir — not by a long shot. And yet, my emotions ran the gamut from “OMG” to “Ho-hum” while reading “I Left It on the Mountain.”

To start, author Kevin Sessums is a first-rate

memoirist. He opens his heart and soul and lets you see everything that’s there: warm childhood memories; recollections of time spent with “heightened acquaintances”; love of (and frustration with) family; painful years of grief, loss and fear. This unfiltering and the diary part of his Camino journey — the passages about passages, if you will — both underscore his talent.

Readers, however — especially readers unfamiliar with New York society or the pop-culture-fashion magazine industry — may struggle with frequent, unfamiliar namedropping.

I also would be remiss if I didn’t mention the presence of very explicit, brutal sex …

Still, despite eye-poppers and flaws that really aren’t flaws, there was a bigger part of me that couldn’t put this book aside. It’s beautiful, it’s ugly, and if you skip reading “I Left It on the Mountain,” you may never forgive yourself.

Associated Press

BOSTON — Before Beyonce, there were the Beatles. Before the Beatles, there was Brahms.

And before Brahms was even born, there was the Handel & Haydn Society.

America’s oldest continuously operating arts organization — which introduced the nation to composers like Chopin and Strauss, the 19th century editions of Top 40 hitmakers like Jay-Z and Lady Gaga — turns 200 on Tuesday.

But the Boston-based society says its bicentennial isn’t just about looking back — it’s about figuring out how to make classical and Baroque music cool for the iTunes generation.

“We have to constantly reinvent ourselves,” said artistic director Harry Christophers. “We can’t sit on our laurels.”

The laurels have piled up over the past two centuries, as visitors to the Boston Public Library will find when an interactive exhibition goes live Tuesday. Music fans will be able to use iPad stations to listen to a simulation of the society’s first concert in 1815, and archive photographs, program books, newspaper clippings and other materials dating to the early 1800s will be on display.

When the Handel & Haydn Society was founded on March 24, 1815, it was cutting edge. The venerable society — older than the New York and Vienna Philharmonics, both of which debuted in 1842 — premiered many important works in the United States, including household names such as Handel’s “Messiah.”

Its goal was to enrich and influence American life and culture. Its musicians, playing period instruments, brought the Baroque music of Bach, Handel and Vivaldi and the classical works of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven to the masses.

Its choruses performed at memorial services for Presidents John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Fast-forward two centuries, and it’s fair to say that classical music has seen better times. Album sales, concert attendance and air time all have been in decline for decades.

Audiences tend to be old and white.

Despite the challenges,

“We have to constantly reinvent ourselves. We can’t sit on our laurels.”

Harry Christophers Artistic director don’t play Verdi’s “Requiem” for the genre just yet, said Marie-Helene Bernard, Handel & Haydn’s executive director.

“America is changing, and we need to reach out and engage these different and diverse communities,” said Bernard, who took over in 2007 and is leaving in June to become CEO of the St. Louis Symphony.

Bernard put the society on a solid financial footing. Its budget for the 2015 bicentennial year is $5.2 million and its endowment is a little over $10 million, with a goal of $12 million. In 2003, it won a Grammy for its recording of John Tavener’s “Lamentations and Praises.”

Music education has become a major thrust for Handel & Haydn, which puts children’s choirs onstage. It’s also been working to diversify its audiences: Nearly one in three ticketholders is now aged 18 to 44, and the society is reaching out to minority communities.

A partnership with Boston’s Chinatown Cultural Center has the society working with newly arrived immigrants.

“There won’t be an audience in 20 years if we don’t teach children how to enjoy a concert,” Bernard said. “If we do it well, I have no concerns about getting people to listen to Baroque and classical music. If you want a kid to enjoy broccoli, you don’t put cheese on top of it.”

Christophers, the artistic director, isn’t intimidated by today’s vast and competing musical choices.

“When I’m cooking in the kitchen, I’m listening to Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones because that’s what I was brought up with,” he said.

His simple score for the next 200 years: Make music that excites and inspires.

“They may still prefer their Jack Johnson, but give it a try — that’s what we’re about,” he said.

“Come and listen, and if the music does something for you, great.”

Betty Vuncannon of Ripley.

Miss Meeks is a 2007 graduate of Corinth High School. She received her Associates degree in nursing from Northeast Mississippi Community College and is presently employed as a Registered Nurse at Magnolia Regional Health Center.

After the wedding, the couple will reside in Ripley.

Every couple wants their wedding to be memorable. The goal of planning a wedding is to create an experience that everyone will remember for years to come. For some couples, a theme wedding is the best way to accomplish just that.

When it comes time to select a theme, the day the wedding takes place may dictate the theme.

For example, if the wedding takes place on Halloween, the ideas for the theme are easy. Many other couples choose a theme that highlights a specific interest or hobby or something that is dear to them. Here are some popular wedding themes.

■ Holiday: The Christmas season lends itself well to wedding planning. The colors (red, green, gold) are already established, and most churches and buildings are already decked out in holiday finery, cutting down on the amount of flowers and embellishments couples need. Because the holiday season is so busy and a popular time for socializing, couples who want to tie the knot during this time of year should send savethe-date cards well in advance. Another option is to have a “Christmas in July” wedding, featuring the same holiday themes but without the hectic nature of the holiday season.

■ Vegas: Couples who want to tie the knot in

Fighting & Winning Your Financial Battles

Las Vegas but want to ensure all their loved ones can attend can recreate the magic of Vegas wherever they may be.

Casino-inspired games and big buffet meals can make guests feel like they have stepped into a casino on the famed Vegas strip. In addition, an Elvis impersonator is essential to a Vegas wedding.

■ TV show: Some couples elevate certain television shows to cult status. Whether it’s “Friends” or “Star Trek,” popular television shows have been transformed into festive wedding themes. Whether the idea is to go daring and exchange vows in costume or simply name reception tables according to characters or show locations, couples can include a little television fun into the event.

■ Fairytale: Many men and women envision a fairytale wedding complete with horse-drawn carriage and the “happily ever after.” This is what makes Disney properties as well as the various castles around the world popular backdrops for wedding events. Those planning a fairytale wedding need only look to favorite stories or movies for their inspiration.

■ Interest or passion: Love to climb mountains? Avid about scuba diving? Couples who share a particular interest can include elements of this sport or hobby into their wedding. Invitations and decor can hint at the theme, and then special activities can further enhance it.

Fish bowls as centerpieces may call to mind underwater adventures, while surfboard-shaped invites may set the scene for a beachside party.

Chances are those who have attended a wedding have witnessed some popular traditions take place.

The bride wears a veil, a court of wedding attendants accompanies the bride and groom, and birdseed, rice or flower petals are tossed.

But have you ever wondered why?

The wedding customs are ripe with tradition and harken back to days when superstition and myth often ruled the day.

■ Throwing rice: Today it has become de rigueur to blow bubbles, toss birdseed or release doves when the bride and groom leave the house of worship newly betrothed.

That’s because savvy individuals found that raw rice can pose a hazard to birds pecking in the area.

However, rice throwing is an old custom that dates back to the Middle Ages, when wheat or rice where thrown to symbolize fertility for the couple.

■ Bouquet: Nowadays, the bride carries a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

But the purpose of the bouquet held different meanings in the past.

Saracen brides carried orange blossoms for fertility. Others carried a combination of herbs and flowers to ward off evil spirits with their aroma. Bouquets of dill were often carried, again for fertility reasons, and after the ceremony, the dill was eaten to encourage lust.

■ Bridesmaids: There may be arguments over dresses and how many bridesmaids to have in a wedding party now, but in ancient times it was “the more the merrier.”

That’s because bridesmaids were another measure to keep the bride safe against evil

their origins can make the ceremony more meaningful. spirits.

Essentially the bridesmaids were decoys for the spirits -- dressing like the bride to confuse the spirits or maybe help deter them to leave the bride be.

■ Wedding rings: Wearing of wedding rings dates back to ancient Egypt.

The round shape of a ring symbolizes eternal love.

The ring is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because it is believed this finger has a blood vessel that goes directly to the heart.

■ Wedding cake: The traditional wedding cake evolved from Roman times when the cake was originally made from wheat. It was broken over the bride’s head to ensure fertility.

All of the guests eat a piece for good luck.

Single women used to place a piece of wedding cake under their pillows in the hopes of finding their own husbands.

■ Father accompanying the bride: This tradition symbolizes that the bride’s father endorses the choice in husbands and is presenting his daughter as a pure bride to that man.

■ Kissing the bride: In older times, a kiss symbolized a legal bond.

Therefore, the bride and groom kissed to seal the deal on their betrothal.

There are many traditions surrounding a wedding that people simply accept.

But understanding their origins can make the ceremony more meaningful.

Bridesmaids are an important part of the wedding party, and most brides opt to have a handful of close friends and family members play a special role in the wedding.

Choosing a gown and a color that will flatter all of the bridesmaids typically takes a little work.

An overwhelming majority of couples choose to have a formal wedding.

The average number of bridesmaids for these formal weddings is four.

Considering around two million weddings take place in North America every year, that’s a lot of bridesmaids for whom gowns and other attire must be planned.

Many bridesmaids worry about the gowns they will wear come the big day.

Horrible bridesmaid dresses have been the butt of jokes for years, and many people have their own stories of garish gowns they’ve been asked to don for a wedding.

Some have said that brides intentionally choose ugly gowns for their bridesmaids to ensure they’re not outshined come the wedding day.

Although this may be the case for some, most brides aspire to select gowns that will be flattering for all.

And color scheme is integral in the choice of gown.

Every well-planned

wedding carries a color scheme throughout.

This includes the color a bride selects for her bridesmaids to wear.

But not every color accentuates everyone’s features.

Therefore, some experimentation might be necessary to find a color that is flattering to all and fits with the color scheme.

Depending on hair color and skin shade, there are many flattering hues available for gowns.

When making this decision, consider bridesmaids’ ethnicity and skin tone.

■ African-American: Women with dark skin and hair may really shine in jewel-colored gowns, including silver, gold, purple and salmon.

Very pale colors may be daring and conspicuous.

■ Asian and oliveskinned women: Those with a slight yellow tone to their skin will look good in many colors, including red, navy, peach, and fuchsia.

However, avoid colors in light yellow, aqua, gray, taupe, or mint, which may make the bridesmaid look washed out.

■ Fair skin: Ladies with pale skin will benefit from richly colored gowns in jewel tones.

Pastels may work, but be careful about those depending on hair color.

Pink or red-hued gowns may clash with someone with auburn hair.

Yellow and green may

not work with a fair brunette.

Gray and silver may wash out someone who is pale and blonde.

Once a color is chosen, brides also need to consider the season. Certain colors may look out of place depending on the season.

For example, an evergreen or deep blue may seem wintry during a summer wedding.

Similarly, russet or brown may work for the autumn but not for a spring wedding.

Many brides gravitate toward mid-level blues, greens, pinks and purples for their weddings, simply because those colors transcend the seasons.

After colors are worked out, the style of the gown deserves consideration.

Because not every bridesmaid has the same physical attributes, many brides are now open to selecting a color and length and allowing the bridesmaid herself to choose the exact style.

This way someone who is busty won’t feel uncomfortable in strapless, and someone who is thin won’t be overwhelmed by a lot of ruffles.

The intent is to have bridesmaids feel beautiful and comfortable, and different styles can help achieve this.

Making the effort to choose a gown color and style that is flattering to all in the bridal party will help the ladies feel they are truly a special part of the wedding.

‘Dead Rising: New approach for a game adaptation

BY DERRIK J. LANG Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — When a pair of filmmakers approached video game publisher Capcom about crafting a live-action movie based on their popular zombie series “Dead Rising,” they were asked to prove themselves in a specific way: The creators behind such video franchises as “Street Fighter” and “Resident Evil” handed the movie producers a game controller.

“They told me, ‘Show me you love the game,’” said Tomas Harlan, who along with business partner Tim Carter, is the brains behind Contradiction Films. The independent production company last brought supernatural martial-arts fighters to life with “Mortal Kombat: Legacy,” a series of web shorts set in the world of Midway’s long-running punch-out series.

Harlan wasn’t deterred.

He’d already maxed out level 50 at home.

After showing off some zombie-evading strategies, “Dead Rising: Watchtower” was born.

The straight-to-streaming movie is launching March 27 on Crackle, Sony’s free, ad-supported online video service. (However, “Watchtower” can be viewed beginning Friday exclusively on the Crackle app for Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles.)

Following the success of “Legacy,” whose second-season premiere has amassed more than 20 million views on YouTube, Harlan and Carter wanted to create another game adaption on a similar small scale as the “Mortal Kombat” series. The pair said such minimalism affords them more freedom and fewer expectations than most Hollywood productions.

“Our way of producing is very different than a conventional feature film that costs $100 million,” said Carter, who also wrote the script for

Cryptoquip

“We’re approaching this with a thin-end-of-the-wedge strategy, and we’re proving ourselves at this level. Hopefully, we’re winning loyalties on both the studio and game development sides, which will give us freedom when we move to bigger budgets.”

Tim Carter the movie. “I think that most film studios usually have a standard operating procedure that you’re not allowed to deviate from — and we deviate all over the place.”

As attendance in movie theaters has dipped and streaming networks have strengthened, the duo also sees the digital medium as a boon, not a punishment.

They’re apparently not alone. Legendary, the production company best known for event movies like “The Dark Knight Rises” and “Pacific Rim,” signed on to co-produce

“Watchtower” as their first digital movie with Contradiction Films.

“This sort of project, by virtue of being digital, is a lot more nimble and creator-focused than a big-budget film would be,” said Carter. “That allows us to work more closely with the game developer and hold onto game canon in a way that wouldn’t be possible if there were more cooks in the kitchen and it was a huge financial juggernaut.”

“Watchtower” stars “Desperate Housewives” and “Dallas” co-star Jesse

see the stigma as an opportunity where others have frequently flopped.

In fact, they studied every previous live-action game adaptation before going into production on “Watchtower.”

“In the past, there were a lot of hatchet jobs by executives in Hollywood,” said Harlan.

Harlan and Carter are already working on three more video game adaptations, and just because they think they’ve mastered bringing interactive fiction to life on a shoestring budget doesn’t mean they always want to keep pinching pennies.

“We’d like to do this at all levels because certain games and story choices require different budgets,” said Carter. “We’re approaching this with a thin-end-of-the-wedge strategy, and we’re proving ourselves at this level.

Hopefully, we’re winning loyalties on both the studio and game development sides.”

‘New’ Tennessee Williams tale reflects inspiration from Poe

BY HILLEL ITALIE Associated Press

Metcalfe as a glory-chasing reporter stranded in a town being overrun by zombies and quarantined by the government. Virginia Madsen and Meghan Ory play fellow survivors, while Rob Riggle portrays Frank West, the protagonist from the first “Dead Rising” game released in 2006.Unlike such game adaptations as “Doom” or “Resident Evil,” which veered off from the original source material on the big screen, “Watchtower” strictly exists in the same fictional realm as the “Dead Rising” games.

There, the drug Zombrex keeps humans from transforming into flesheating creatures and gardening and sporting equipment taped together usually make for the best weapons.

After decades of unfaithful renditions, the mere mention of the term “live-action video game adaptation” usually provokes groans from gamers, but Harlan and Carter

NEW YORK — As she takes in the despair of her in-laws’ one-room apartment in “A Streetcar Named Desire,” Blanche Dubois exclaims, “Only Poe! Only Mr. Edgar Allan Poe could do it justice!”

Years earlier, Tennessee Williams channeled Poe for an entire story.

Williams’ “The Eye That Saw Death,” appearing in the spring issue of The Strand Magazine, is a feverish, 4,800-word horror tale clearly inspired by the patron of the genre.

Recently unearthed by Strand managing editor Andrew F. Gulli, “The Eye That Saw Death” is narrated by an unnamed man who has suffered from a seemingly incurable disease that has left him nearly blind.

At age 30, he receives an eye transplant that restores his sight, but leaves him with ghoulish side effects. The narrator is afflicted with visions

that begin as a “chaotic blur,” then become more focused and traumatizing, whether “huge, black, bulging eyes” or “terrible, tusk-like teeth.”

The new eye, it turns out, belonged to a convicted killer. The narrator begs to have the surgery reversed.

“It is true that the pleasures of the blind are few and frugal,” Williams writes. “They live apart from the world and participate little in its affairs.

But I do not regret that choice I made the day I fell, raving mad with horror, to the floor of the oculist’s office. Oh, never!

Far, far better to be blind than to see with the eye that saw death!”

Gulli, who has previously published littleknown works by Graham Greene and John Steinbeck among others, found “The Eye That Saw Death” at one of the country’s leading literary archives, the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.

Williams scholar George Crandell says the undated work is a “pretty good story” and surprisingly polished for a piece never published before.

Crandell is especially impressed because he thinks Williams was likely in high school when he completed it.

“The story has a similar feel to ‘The Vengeance of Nitocris,’ kind of a horror story that was published in Weird Tales in 1928 (when Williams was 16),” says Crandell, the associate dean of Auburn University’s graduate school and a member of the editorial board of the literary journal the Tennessee Williams Annual Review.

“The Eye That Saw Death” has a fable-like quality even as its plot recalls Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart.” It reads like an inversion of Greek mythology, in which the blind are not prophets or wise men, but those who truly will not see — or like an allegory for creative expression, when the artist is almost literally tortured by his vision.

Williams had good reason to be preoccupied with eyesight. He had poor vision in his left eye and had four cataract operations, one of which he describes in “Memoirs,” published in 1975.

In a humorous but unsettling scenario that his early short story seemed to anticipate, Williams remembers agreeing to a procedure for which the doctor waived his fee in return for Williams allowing the operation to be the basis of a lecture to observing students.

MERCHANDISE

Words could never express our appreciation for all of the prayers, calls, texts, food and cards that we received during Brenda Fields illness and eventual passing. We really felt the love of the community and God surrounding us.

We will be forever grateful.

The family of J. C. Mills would like to express our thanks to everyone for your prayers, calls, visits, and cards during the sickness and passing of our loved one. Words cannot express the blessings we have felt during this time.

Since his passing there has been so many donations made to Pine Vale Children’s Home, Strickland Church of Christ youth group and the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery fund. We would like to thank Corinthian Funeral Home, Brother Brad Dillingham, Brother Terry Smith and Dr. John Dodd for their kind words spoken at the service.

To our church family and to Dr. Pratt and Cornerstone Health and Rehab for the excellent care he received. May God bless you always is our prayer. Daddy touched the lives of so many through his life and Christian example and we know he will live on forever in our lives and yours.

U.S. Savings Bonds are gifts with a future.

Jeff and Ginger Mills and Grandchildren

The family of Brenda Fields: Travis, Jeremy, Liz, Adam, Tena, Tucker, Shylon, and Vivian Fields.
