Sonny Boatman welcomes a visitor to the gallery at the former Cruise Street location in 2013.
Boatman honored for community service He’s an energetic volunteer known for his unwavering support of the arts and historic preservation. In Saturday evening’s Charity Ball, the Junior Auxiliary of Corinth honored 83-year-old James E. “Sonny” Boatman as Citizen of the Year. “He is a tireless contributor who consistently avoids the limelight and accolades for his service,” Debbie Tallent said in
her nomination of Boatman. He returned home to Corinth in the early 1990s, retiring after about 35 years in New York, where he became director of interior display at the famous Lord & Taylor’s flagship store at 5th Avenue and 39th Street. But retirement for Boatman only meant a full calendar of new, unpaid endeavors in the arts and preservation. Now, he stays busy directing exhibits and activities at the Corinth Artist Guild Gallery, which has been a

The late Jackie Simpson, who found success on the gridiron in the NFL and CFL, was one of Corinth’s own. Memorabilia from his career has joined the holdings of the Crossroads Museum as a permanent exhibit, while a new temporary exhibit pays tribute to the late funeral director Bill McPeters. The museum kicks off both with an opening reception in conjunction with the museum annual meeting on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. “These are two memorable figures in Corinth’s history,” said Museum Director Brandy Steen. “We hope the community will enjoy these tributes.” Simpson’s Ole Miss helmet and a 1980 game ball from a Chargers-Eagles matchup, with a 22-21 Chargers victory,

are among the items on display. The exhibited items are courtesy of Simpson’s widow, Angela, who lives in San Diego. Mayor Tommy Irwin is a big fan of the AllAmerican standout, who was born in Corinth in 1936 to Albert Simpson, a former police chief, and his wife, Bonnie. “He was my hero growing up,� said Irwin, who encouraged the museum to feature Simpson. As a senior at CHS in 1953, Simpson logged 104 points, a record that stood until 1970. At Ole Miss, he was co-captain of the 1957 squad, and he was added to the Ole Miss Athletic Hall of Fame in 1988. Coach John Vaught has called him one of the greatest linemen Ole Miss ever had. He went on to play in the Canadian Football League as offensive guard with the Montreal Alouettes; linebacker with the Calgary Stampeders; linebacker and kicker for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers; and linebacker for the Toronto Argonauts. “He was big in the Canadian league,� said Steen, who has found that many locals are not aware of the native Corinthian’s success. In the NFL, he played as linebacker for the Denver Broncos and linebacker and kicker for the Oakland Raiders. He was assistant coach for the San Diego Chargers from 1967 to 1980. He also served as defensive coordinator for the Houston Oilers, Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions, and linebacker coach for the St. Louis Cardinals. The McPeters exhibit includes an assortment of Bill’s colorful clothing, including a selection of hats; a collection of ties, which he often used as belts; and memorabilia from the business. “I think this is something a lot of people will want to see,� said Steen. “Even among people who did not know him, there is a lot of curiosity about Bill. He is a local icon.� McPeters died last March at 90. The McPeters exhibit will be on display until mid-May. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday at 221 North Fillmore Street.
Beth Whitehurst, director of First Call For Help. “We do our best to provide people with the help they need by giving them several different organizations that can assist them with their trouble.� Whitehurst said the majority of calls received at the number are from people looking for help paying utility bills, getting clothing options for their children or putting food on the table. “We try to provide an answer for everything,� she said. “We always treat everyone with respect, no matter their situation.� Sometimes people are upset because they believe First Call For Help provides the actual assistance. “We can only recommend who they can call,� Whitehurst added. Whitehurst advises someone needing help not wait until the last minute to call. “It’s amazing how people wait until late afternoon to call when their power is going to be turned off at 5 p.m. that same day,� she said. “We are here and want to help, but most of the community services can’t do much in a few hours. It’s best to call at least three days ahead of the cut off date.� The director says the amount of calls the number receives depends on the time of the month and the
RESOURCES weather. “Near the end of month, we normally get more calls,� she added. “I think we are the busiest when we have bad weather or it’s really cold outside.� On average, the office receives around 85 calls during August when school as school starts and people are searching for help buying school clothes and supplies. March is normally the slowest month when some days the phone doesn’t ring any. Whitehurst said about 3 percent of calls to the office are from outside the county. Those calls she forwards to the state assistance number, 2-1-1. Whitehurst said not all calls are easy. “We have had several people call reporting abuse,� she said. “The weirdest call I’ve answered in the last year was from someone needing help transporting a body to the Philippines.� The helpful number is often given to people who express interest at ACE Power Company, Amen Food Pantry and the Alcorn County Welcome Center. First Call For Help fields calls from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. “We can’t always be here to answer calls, but we do make it a priority to return all calls that come in while we are closed,� said Whitehurst.

He served on the house museum’s board and on the Corinth Historic Preservation Commission. “He sees Corinth in its entirety — what it was, what it is now and what it can become,� said Jan Grady. Boatman is also known for generously assisting ill friends with transportation to doctors and for assisting the Hispanic community. “He acts as a translator, offers transportation when none is available and helps with job placement, among other things,� said Grady. His energy and enthusiasm continues to inspire others. In a 2013 interview, he said he plans to keep busy. “I didn’t move back to Corinth to retire and sit in a rocker on the front porch,� said Boatman.

Today’s highlight: On March 23, 1914, the first installment of “The Perils of Pauline,â€? the legendary silent film serial starring Pearl White, premiered at theaters in the greater New York City area, including movie houses in New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Â
On this date: In 1775, Patrick Henry delivered an address to the Virginia Provincial Convention in which he is said to have declared, “Give me liberty, or give me death!� In 1806, explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, having reached the Pacific coast, began their journey back east. In 1919, Benito Mussolini founded his Fascist political movement in Milan, Italy. In 1933, the German Reichstag adopted the Enabling Act, which effectively granted Adolf Hitler dictatorial powers. In 1942, the first Japanese-Americans evacuated by the U.S. Army during World War II arrived at the internment camp in Manzanar, Calif. In 1956, Pakistan became an Islamic republic. In 1964, actor Peter Lorre, 59, died in Los Angeles. In 1973, before sentencing a group of Watergate break-in defendants, Chief U.S. District Judge John J.

Former city council member convicted SELMER, Tenn. (AP) — Prosecutors say former Bolivar City Council member Brenda Woods has been convicted of procuring illegal voters in municipal elections. Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich says in a news release that Woods was found guilty Tuesday in a McNairy County court. Witnesses said Woods took them to the polls to vote for her
in early elections for mayor and city council in May 2009. They said they told Woods about their felony convictions, but she assured them they could still vote. An investigation showed the three voters had cast ballots illegally because their voting rights had not been restored.
Police seek tips in restaurant burglary BOONEVILLE — A Booneville restaurant owner is hoping the public can help track down those responsible for stealing a large amount of food from his business. Bailey Williams, owner of Bailey’s Country Cafe on North College Street, said thieves broke into the restaurant during the early morning hours Sunday and made off with numerous items from his cupboards and freezer. Items taken include meat, bread and a variety of staples such as flour. He said it appears the thieves broke in through a back window and loaded their vehicle up with the pilfered products. Many of the items had the private label of the Wood-Frutticher food service distribution company. Williams said the company doesn’t distribute to individuals and he hopes those labels might tip someone off that they may be purchasing stolen items. Anyone with information on the theft is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at 1-800773-TIPS (1-800-7738477).

Corinth, Miss.
Our View Exciting development: regional park expansion The recent news the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors has set in motion a plan for expansion of Crossroads Regional Park is one of the more exciting developments for Corinth and all of Alcorn County. The plan involves refinancing the Crossroads Arena construction bond to obtain additional funding for the park project, which is expected to cost about $5.3 million. Repayment would be over 20 years. An expanded park would certainly enhance the quality of life for local citizens and provide so much more potential of drawing visitors to Corinth through baseball, softball and other types of sports tournaments on a regional scale. Alcorn County Board of Supervisors Attorney Bill Davis recently said the proposal includes approaching the city, tourism board and park board to look at an interlocal agreement among the entities to continue the current arrangement for how the 2 percent tourism tax on prepared food and lodging is divided as well as refinancing the bond. The arena debt is about four years from being retired. If it is paid off entirely, the legislation for the tourism tax calls for half of the tourism tax to go to advertising and promotion, noted the attorney, and the proposed interlocal agreement would prevent that from happening. This approach was recommended by bond counsel. The bond payment is currently about $440,000 per year, and Board President Lowell Hinton has said it will go to about $535,000. Bricks and mortar funding will continue to be available for the arena’s use, Hinton has said, and the arena would continue to receive $200,000 from the tourism budget. “I think that all of these organizations are on board with this and we’re all on the same page working toward the same purpose,” said Hinton. We hope Hinton is right. We know there will be more discussion as to what exactly will be added, which is expected. As long as we as a community are moving forward, the end result will be the reward. Cook Coggin Engineers has gained approval to seek a DEQ permit to begin clearing land for park expansion. The park has property with frontage on Droke Road available for expansion with additional baseball and softball fields and other amenities. This has the potential to do so much for our community and our future. Daily Corinthian
Letter to the editor NMRC provides vital resources Dear Editor, March is national Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. In Mississippi, an estimated 42,000 persons have intellectual and developmental disabilities ranging from mild (requiring minimal supports) to severe (sometimes requiring 24– hour, seven–day–a–week care). Agencies operating under authority of the Mississippi Department of Mental Health provide services to assist these individuals and their families. The North Mississippi Regional Center offers these comprehensive programs and supports to almost 1,000 individuals in north Mississippi. NMRC provides licensed residential care and services on its main campus in Oxford, and at licensed community programs across the northern 23 counties of the state. Assistance is also offered through a continuum of community based options including supervised living homes, supported living apartments, employment and prevocational programs, early intervention and assistive technology programs, adult day services, and the support coordination/IDD waiver program. A national observance of IDD Awareness Month brings increased understanding of the supports necessary for individuals with disabilities to live more independently in their home communities. Today the public has greater awareness of intellectual disabilities as a natural occurrence, with an understanding that persons with disabilities can contribute greatly in the community and workplace. NMRC’s mission is to enhance the abilities and promote the independence of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities by providing quality care, comprehensive services, and family support, with dignity and respect.

Legislature confronts common sense justice reforms For all the political free shots taken at Mississippi lawmakers by critics with a generic dislike of state government, one might think its “March Madness” all 12 months of the year. But in terms of common sense criminal justice reforms designed to reduce the staggering and ever-escalating costs of Mississippi’s criminal justice system, few legislatures have taken on the real world issues of crime and punishment in a more responsible and bipartisan manner than has the 2014 session. Recommendations for House Bill 585 came from recommendations in the bill came from the state’s bipartisan Corrections and Criminal Justice Task Force, made up of judges, prosecutors, law enforcement, defense attorneys, county officials and others. Supporters say the legislation could make the state’s criminal justice system more efficient and cut state corrections costs by $266 million over 10 years. The bill mandates that anyone convicted of a violent offense would be required to serve at least 50 percent of a sentence, and anyone convicted of a nonviolent offense would have to serve at least 25 percent. The bill would give judges more flexibility to give alternative sentences, such as ordering treatment for drug users. Bill supporter Gov. Phil Bryant said: “This bill en-
sures that violent criminals are held accountable for their crimes, and it provides Sid Salter a second chance to Columnist veterans and other Mississippians who have made mistakes and want to take steps to get their lives back on track.” But opponents of portions of the bill in Bryant’s home Rankin County are complaining about a provision in the law that changes the threshold on felony property theft from the present $500 to a higher $1,000 threshold. Those opponents say that under the change, fewer criminals will be sent to Parchman. If Mississippi is to make any real progress in cutting the state’s soaring prison expenses, that’s exactly the point. Last year, a Pew Charitable Trusts study documented what most state legislators already knew from wrestling the state’s budget - that Mississippi’s prison population is soaring and so is the cost of operating the state’s prison system. Here’s a succinct description of the problem from the 2013 Pew study: “Mississippi’s prison population has grown by 17 percent in the last decade and 134 percent in the past 20 years.
The comparable figures for Mississippi’s resident population are 4 and 14 percent, respectively. “That is, prison growth in Mississippi was more than four times and almost nine times faster than resident population growth, for the respective periods. The state now houses more than 22,600 prisoners and has the second-highest imprisonment rate in the country, trailing Louisiana. “Mississippi taxpayers spend $339 million annually on corrections, up from $276 million in 2003. The vast majority — 93 percent — pays for prisons, while the remainder funds probation, parole, and house arrest.” What brought about that growth in Mississippi’s prison population at a time of national prison population decline? Mississippi joined a host of states around the country in adopting so-called “truthin-sentencing” or mandatory-minimum laws in 1995. The laws require all inmates sentenced to felony time in the state penitentiary system - violent and non-violent offenders alike - after July 1, 1995, to serve 85 percent of their term before they could be considered for parole. The rationale was that longer, tougher prison sentences would be a deterrent to crime, but there were other factors pushing mandatory minimums legislation through the Legislature.
Adoption of the laws in 1995 also qualified the state for federal funding under a federal crime bill. But the unintended consequences of the law were alarming. Mississippi’s prison population soared from 12,292 at the end of the 1995 fiscal year to 31,031 at the end of the 2005 fiscal year. State lawmakers over the last decade have tweaked the state’s “good time” policies for non-violent offenders and reinstated parole eligibility for inmates convicted of non-violent crimes. While those changes helped, it hasn’t been enough. With the costs of crime and punishment soaring and the state crunched to finance education at all levels, highways and bridges, mental health and other key needs, there’s some truth to the old saw that Mississippi “needs to decide who we’re mad at and who we are afraid of” when it comes to making public policy for crime and punishment. Prisons should be primarily for those of whom we are afraid. Alternatives like house arrest, ankle bracelets and other emerging technologies that put the swelling taxpayer burden of housing and feeding non-violent offenders back on the offenders should be for those with whom society is angry.

America is becoming a humiliation nation What is it about Western leaders from Neville Chamberlain to George W. Bush who want to find good in men of bad character? Acting as if he were endowed by special insight bestowed upon no one else, President George W. Bush declared in 2001 that he had looked Vladimir Putin in the eye and “was able to get a sense of his soul.” According to the Daily Caller.com, in a 2010 interview with talk radio host Hugh Hewitt, Bush, who was promoting his book “Decision Points,” was asked about his ability to see into the souls of men. The former president explained, “The reason why I said that is because I remembered him talking movingly about his mother and the cross that she gave him that she said she had blessed in Jerusalem.” Well, bless my soul, as the saying goes. No doubt several communist leaders in the former Soviet Union had mothers who went to church and took their sons with
them — until faith became a drag on upward mobility in the Communist Party. It doesn’t Cal mean any Thomas one of them underwent Columnist some drastic religious transformation. What Bush should have asked Putin is whether he shared his mother’s faith and if so, what difference that had made on his thinking? In a 2005 state of the nation speech, Putin declared: “Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century. As for the Russian nation, it became a genuine drama. Tens of millions of our co-citizens and co-patriots found themselves outside Russian territory. Moreover, the epidemic of disintegration infected Russia itself.” In the Hewitt interview,
Bush claimed that since that early meeting with Putin, the Russian leader had become a different person. The other possibility is that Putin has always been the same person, but lied and projected a different image to a gullible Bush who wanted to believe what he thought he saw. Putin and his cronies are now openly mocking the United States. Under President Obama we are becoming a humiliation nation. Meaningless “sanctions,” which amount to not even a slap on the wrist, are laughed at in Moscow. And the problem with sanctions is that Russia has options, too, like cutting off gas and oil supplies to Europe and making trouble in other former Soviet republics. Understanding one’s adversary is sometimes more important than defeating him, especially if one wishes to avoid armed conflict. The fall of the Berlin Wall was the symbolic collapse of the Soviet Union and occupied Eastern Europe. Putin clearly believes Russia was
humiliated after the collapse and the American triumphalism that followed. But humiliation can cut two ways. Russia feels slighted for not being recognized as a great power. In some sense — though the analogy is far from perfect — Russia reflects Germany’s attitude after its defeat in World War I. The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to disarm, concede territory and pay reparations. Hitler’s rise to power two decades later was in large part due to his appeal to German nationalism and pride, which is precisely Vladimir Putin’s appeal to the Russian people. Putin has promised not to annex any territory beyond Crimea. We’ll see if he keeps that promise. Meanwhile, it would be nice if President Obama led on this matter instead of making the United States the laughingstock of the world’s dictators and to our detriment, perhaps some of our allies.

Critics of Christie become more vocal TRENTON, N.J. — Critics of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are becoming more vocal — and more visible. Opponents are showing up at his public and private events to hurl criticisms and question his knowledge of a plot to tie up traffic near the world’s busiest bridge. The Republican governor says he didn’t know about the plot, which was orchestrated by his aides. A Christie fundraiser last week in Michigan drew 40 protesters, including one holding a sign that said, “Don’t Mess with Our Bridge.” Other demonstrators have disrupted recent town halls. On Thursday, 10 people seated together spelled out “Bridgegate” with letters hand-painted on their T-shirts. The possible 2016 presidential candidate says a public worker union is behind the protests. But the union’s political director says Christie should stop blaming others and answer constituents’ questions.
Al-Qaida statements show no remorse NEW YORK — AlQaida’s self-professed Sept. 11 mastermind and an imam who met with Osama bin Laden in a cave soon after the attacks show no signs of having softened their views toward America. Khalid Sheik Mohammed and Sulaiman Abu
Ghaith made recent public statements showing they believe the attacks were justified. Mohammed’s words emerged in a written statement responding to hundreds of questions from a lawyer for Abu Ghaith. Abu Ghaith testified in Manhattan federal court at his trial on charges he conspired to kill Americans and aid al-Qaida. Mohammed still boasts that the Taliban was good for Afghanistan and that everything bin Laden said was right. Mohammed is held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Next phase of Gulf oil spill trial set NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge has set a tentative trial date next year to consider federal Clean Water Act penalties that BP could face for the millions of gallons of oil that spilled into the Gulf of Mexico after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon rig explosion. U.S. District Court Judge Carl Barbier on Friday set Jan. 20 for the trial — the third phase of a proceeding arising from the federal government’s claims against BP and its contractors. Earlier phases dealt with causes of the disaster and the amount of oil that spewed into Gulf waters. Barbier has not yet ruled on the amount spilled or on whether BP and others acted with gross negligence that led to the blowout — both issues that will
figure into Clean Water Act penalties.
Breakfast foods are getting pricier NEW YORK — Breakfast is now being served with a side of sticker shock. The price of bacon is surging and the cost of other morning staples, like coffee and orange juice, is set to rise because of global supply problems, from drought in Brazil to disease on U.S. pig farms. And it’s not just the first meal of the day that’s being affected. The cost of meats, fish and eggs led the biggest increase in U.S. food prices in nearly 2 ½ years last month, according to government data. An index that tracks those foods rose 1.2 percent in February and has climbed 4 percent over the last 12 months. While overall inflation remains low, the increases in food prices are forcing shoppers to search out deals and cut back. Denise Gauthier, 54, a screenwriter in North Hollywood, Calif., calls the rising prices “shocking and outrageous.” To cope, she has become more frugal, hunting for discounts and buying less food overall. Even though food companies use a range of cost-cutting methods to limit the effect of higher food costs, consumers will likely feel the “ripple effects” of rising commodity prices, according to the Grocery Manufacturers Association.

Tax collectors could get $6,500 raises JACKSON — Mississippi county tax collectors and deputy tax collectors could get pay boosts up to $6,500 a year. Gov Phil Bryant signed Senate Bill 2505 March 13. It allows tax collectors and deputies to get a $2,000 yearly raise for completing a first stage of official training and another $2,000 raise for completing a second phase. If collectors complete a third phase of training, they would get an additional $2,500 raise. Now, depending on the value of all property in a county, collectors make between $41,500 and $64,000 a year. Anyone who serves as tax collector and assessor receives $5,000 more. Bryant must decide by Monday whether to sign House Bill 1409, increasing sheriffs’ pay. Lawmakers are negotiating over a bill increasing county supervisors’ pay.
Bryant signs law to set deductible rules JACKSON — Mississippians will see uniform rules about when hurricane deductibles apply to their homeowners insurance under a law Gov. Phil Bryant signed Monday. House Bill 756, sponsored by Biloxi Republican Scott DeLano, requires Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney to rule that higher deductibles apply beginning when a hurricane watch or warning is issued somewhere in Mississip-
pi and that they end 24 hours after the last hurricane watch or warning in Mississippi is dropped. Now, rules vary on when homeowners pay the deductible, often 5 percent of a house’s insured value. In some other states, regulators have blocked hurricane deductibles for storms they judged too weak to qualify.
Combs backs union push at Nissan plant JACKSON — Sean “Diddy” Combs is adding his support those seeking a union at Nissan Motor Co. Combs endorsed the effort by video at a free pro-union concert by rapper Common Friday night at Jackson State University. The UAW is trying to organize the 5,200-worker Canton, Miss., plant. Employees have yet to file a petition for a union election. In the meantime, the union is trying to push the Japanese automaker to campaign among workers inside the plant without company interference. Nissan, which opposes a union, has refused and says it’s not violating worker rights. A number of outside groups have joined the union’s push, casting it as a civil rights issue.
$5.3 million donor gives name to dorm JACKSON — The University of Mississippi will name a recentlyconstructed dormitory for donors Roland and Sheryl Burns. The College Board
Thursday approved the naming of what’s currently called the University Housing South Building, which opened last fall. Burns Hall will honor the couple’s lifetime pledges and donations to Ole Miss of more than $5.3 million. Board documents show the couple recently pledged a $2 million gift to be split evenly between athletics and academics. They earlier endowed an accounting professorship with $1.5 million and gave $1 million for a football team meeting room.
Family appeals in casino death suit JACKSON — The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is being asked to overrule a Mississippi judge’s dismissal of a wrongful death lawsuit that alleged IP Casino Resort served free drinks to a medicated man while he was drunk. The man died the next day. A three-judge panel will hear oral arguments April 2 in New Orleans. Court records show that Bryan Lee Glenn collapsed in his hotel bathroom Aug. 6, 2009. He died of alcohol poisoning combined with prescription medications. Mississippi law holds businesses liable if they serve alcohol to a patron who is visibly drunk and then kills or injures someone else. Attorneys for the casino argue that the law is not intended for the protection of visibly intoxicated patrons as opposed to persons injured by visibly intoxicated patrons.

Lessons are learned from waiting BY JIMMY REED Columnist
When he wasn’t busy running his Mississippi Delta cotton farm, my father visited other growers, and would sometimes take me with him. One of his peers had a plaque in his office with a quote by German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe inscribed on it: “A useless life is an early death.” That quote puzzled me, so one day when I was fishing with my boyhood best friend and mentor, Jaybird, I asked him what
it meant. “You remember when yo’ daddy turned you over to me and told me to teach you how to work?” I nodded. “Well, de reason was, he wants you to make yo’ life count. You can’t jes sit around, waitin’ for sumpin’ to happen. A lotta times you gotta make it happen. Lazy folks never git past the waitin’ part. Dat’s who dat sign is talkin’ ’bout; folks like dat is already dead, mainly ’cause life done passed ’em by.” “Does that mean that
all waiting is bad?” “Shoot, naw. When you can’t keep fum waitin’, ain’t nuttin’ you kin do, ’cept wait. Dat’s what I had to do during The Great Depression. We had a sayin’ back in those sad days: “Take a cold tater and wait.” Toward the end of his life, Jaybird’s eyesight began failing, but the old black man refused to stop doing things he loved to do, especially fishing. Before his vision loss, he rigged my pole and paddled while I fished; afterwards, I rigged his
pole and paddled while he fished. I put a large red bobber on his line, one he could see well enough to know when he was getting a bite. On one of our last fishing trips together, neither of us had gotten a bite. I set my pole aside and asked Jaybird to describe how bad those days in the Depression really were, when there was nothing to do but “take a cold tater and wait.” Little did I realize that I had provided the master teacher an opportunity to impart yet another lesson his student has never forgotten. He told me about the abject poverty of his youth, about days when a cold potato might be all that was available to stave off extreme hunger … about days when there wasn’t even a cold potato to eat. When I asked how he endured such misery, he said, “I waited.” Even though he may not have known it at
the time, the purpose of Jaybird’s waiting during those tough years was the molding of an invaluable virtue: self-reliance. He learned to make his way through life by depending on others as little as possible, and I am so grateful that he taught me to be self-reliant. At the same time, he passed that “cold tater” on to me. When waiting can be more accurately described as patience, it is good. That is what Rudyard Kipling meant in his poem entitled “If,” when he said we must “… wait and not be tired by waiting.” Oxford resident, Ole Miss alumnus, and retired Mississippi Delta cotton farmer Jimmy Reed, jimmycecilreedjr@gmail.com is a newspaper columnist, author and college teacher.

Report on schools highlights disparities BY JEFF AMY Associated Press
JACKSON — Black students in Mississippi are much more likely to be taught by rookie teachers, and black males are suspended at the secondhighest rates in the country. Those are among the findings of a U.S. Department of Education report on racial disparities in education released Friday. Neither finding is much of a surprise in Mississippi, where many districts with largely black student bodies scramble for teachers each year and where litigation has focused on harsh disciplinary practices in Jackson and Meridian. The report collected numbers from the 20112012 school year, covering prekindergarten through 12th grade. Research nationwide has shown that most teachers become more effective after their first year. In Mississippi, 7 percent of black students attended a school where more than 20 percent of teachers are in their first year, compared to 1 percent of white students. Nationwide 4 percent of black students attended such schools, while 2 percent of white students do.

Fun outings at the casino become costly compulsion DEAR ABBY: My husband and I were both married previously. We have been together for seven years. When we first started dating, we would sometimes go to one of the casinos after dinner as a fun outing. We never spent much money and went only occasionally. Our game of choice was the slot machine. Over the last few years, it seems like the casino has taken over our lives. We go there to the exclusion of almost everything else and spend money we can’t afford to lose. We both have the mentality that the “big win” is right around the corner. How can we break this habit? It’s causing unbearable financial and emotional stress in our marriage. I’m afraid it won’t last another year. — IN OVER MY HEAD IN NEW YORK DEAR IN OVER YOUR HEAD: In case you are not aware, there is a name for the habit you and your husband have acquired. It’s “compulsive gambling,” and it’s an addiction in much the same way as the abuse of alcohol or drugs. Fortunately, you have finally reached a point where you have realized this “fun outing” is out of control.
Gamblers A n o ny m o u s can help you break this destructive cycle. It’s a 12step program based on the Abigail principles of Van Buren A l c o h o l i c s Anonymous. Dear Abby Its members support one another by sharing their strength and experiences with one another. The website is www.gamblersanonymous.org. Many people have experienced what you’re going through, and this well-established organization has helped them. To locate a meeting near you, visit the website or check your telephone directory. DEAR ABBY: My mom and stepfather are divorcing. They were married for 25 years. He was always a great father figure to me and has been a very active grandfather to my children. The reason for the divorce is his infidelity and the disrespect he has shown my mother. We are his only family, and he wants to be involved with us as
if nothing is different, even showing up at family gatherings. I want to be loyal to my mother -and I do feel he betrayed us -- but I still recognize that he has also been good to me and the kids. He doesn’t deserve to be cut out of our lives. How does one handle a situation like this? — SEEING THE BIG PICTURE DEAR SEEING: Your stepdad may want to pretend that nothing is different, but something IS different. He hurt your mother so badly they will no longer be married. If you want to be loyal to your mother and still have a relationship with him, then you need to have a talk with him. Explain that because he is no longer married to your mother, he will no longer be invited to family gatherings where your mother will be present. Be sure to tell him you regard him with affection, but will be seeing him separately for the foreseeable future.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll boldly express yourself and be met with an equally bold response. When people reply this passionately, it means you are either totally wrong or totally right. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll get the sense that what you are doing serves the greater good. Because of this, even while your muscles, mind and entire being are occupied in a task, it will not seem like any great effort. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you don’t like what’s going on around you, you may find safety inside yourself, thus performing the amazing feat of being sure of where you are and yet invisible to the others in the environment. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A cosmic fog rolls into your brainscape this morning. Exercising your mind via reading, puzzles and the like will clear it. Intellectual vigor will put you in a satisfied and productive mood.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You probably won’t be able to do, pay and see everything you want today, but you’ll tackle a good portion of your duties and have time for a few pleasures, too. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will enjoy taking your time with life, spending as much time as you want doing things like taking in scenery, conversing with strangers and breathing in spiritual sunshine. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a tendency to see things a certain way, but if it’s not helping you to have that point of view, you have the power to change your perspective. Ultimately, your focus is your choice. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can be extraordinarily gentle when you sense it’s needed. Loved ones seek your comforting presence. You will help people express what they cannot easily put into words. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are many reasons
why it would be better to settle into your humanity than to strive for perfection. For starters, the reception you get will be friendlier, because no one can relate to perfection. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There will be better times for seeking kindred spirits. Also, don’t be too quick to jump onto a trend. What comes along now is likely to turn out to be a flash in the pan, a quick fix or a shortlived buzz. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In case you needed an incentive to resolve the conflict within you, consider that it will lead to a better understanding of who you are. Understanding yourself gives you valuable insight into others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re a team player, but not everything you strive for will be for the glory of the team. There are things you’ll do for purely selfish reasons that will be private sources of satisfaction.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Scottie Wilbekin sat on the bench for the final minute, holding a bag of ice against his left knee. It was about the only time he wasn’t giving Pittsburgh huge problems on both ends of the court. Wilbekin scored 21 points, including 11 of the team’s 13 during a 7-minute stretch in the second half, and topseeded Florida handled the Panthers 61-45 in the NCAA tournament Saturday. The Gators’ 28th consecutive win put them in the Sweet 16 for the fourth consecutive year. The latest victory followed a lackluster and head-scratching performance in the team’s NCAA opener against Albany two days earlier. The Gators vowed to play with more energy and intensity, and Wilbekin spearheaded the effort. “We just wanted to come out and not let them play harder than us or not play as hard as we can,” Wilbekin said. “I think we did a good job of having our energy up at the start of the game, and we played together on offense
and played together on defense.” Wilbekin took over in the second half, scoring eight consecutive points at one point. Patric Young wasn’t too shabby, either, finishing with seven points and eight rebounds. Will Yeguete added eight points — all in the paint. Michael Frazier II chipped in 10 points for the Gators. Frazier was just 2-of-9 shooting from 3-point range. Had Florida not been cold from behind the arc, the game would have been essentially over much sooner than it was. The Gators finished 5 of 20 from 3-point range, with at least five of those rimming in and out. Florida will face either fourth-seeded UCLA or 12thseeded Stephen F. Austin on Thursday in the South Regional in Memphis, Tenn. The Bruins and Lumberjacks play Sunday in San Diego. The Gators have the longest current streak of Sweet 16 appearances — and expect to go further. If Wilbekin continues to play like he did against the Panthers, Florida surely improves its chances of making
another deep run in the tournament. “It was good to see him come back and respond the way he did today,” coach Billy Donovan said. “I thought all the way around he played very well. ... He was great on both ends of the floor because he really gives it up on the defensive end, and when you give it up like that and you’re the point guard, there’s a physical toll that your body takes over a period of time.” Wilbekin ended up getting iced down after banging knees with a defender. He got a well-deserved standing ovation as he limped off the court. “He’s a great point guard,” Panthers forward Lamar Patterson said. “He took care of business.” Wilbekin hit a running 3-pointer at the first-half buzzer and drained a backbreaking 3 with 8:24 remaining that gave Florida its largest lead at that point, 45-31. His consecutive floaters inside 5 minutes to play were equally troublesome for Pitt. The Panthers, who seemed focused on Young inside and Frazier out, had no answer
for Wilbekin’s dribble penetration. Wilbekin also was a force on the press, which helped force 11 turnovers and got the Panthers out of rhythm. Florida played the kind of defense that had to impress NFL coaches Bill Belichick and Mike Tomlin. The Patriots and Steelers head men were on hand, with Belichick sitting behind Florida’s bench in a white Gators visor and Tomlin sitting opposite Pitt’s bench in Panthers colors. Wilbekin really started to dominate as Pitt steadily wore down in the second half. “Got in the lane — constantly,” Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said. “He’s a senior, he’s a really good player, he’s been through some ups and downs, obviously, and he’s had a great finish to his career, and that’s what you hope happens to a kid that learns and gets better. They played well. I’m sure they’re proud of him and what he’s become, a local guy that’s done well.” Talib Zanna led the Panthers with 10 points, their only player in double figures.

Defending champ Louisville back in Sweet 16 FRED GOODALL AP Sports Writer
ORLANDO, Fla. — It’s not always pretty with Louisville. And sometimes, it’s ugly by design. The defending national champions shrugged off poor shooting, 19 turnovers and a subpar performance by star Russ Smith and still won handily Saturday to get back to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament for the third straight year. “Everything’s not going to be sweet or pretty,” Smith said after a 66-51 victory over Saint Louis. “We’re just getting the job done.” Luke Hancock scored 21 points and the battled-tested Cardinals (31-5) won with defense. Saint Louis (27-7) missed all 15 of their 3-point shots and turned the ball over 18 times in losing in the third
round for the third consecutive year. “These guys have had a lot of wins under their belt, a lot of great tournament experiences,” said coach Rick Pitino, who huddled with the Cardinals after watching Florida wear down Pittsburgh in Orlando earlier in the day. “I said, ‘Guys, that’s the exact game you’re going to be in,’” Pitino said. “‘And you’re going to have to be the prettiest team in an ugly game because that’s the way it’s going to be. ... We grinded out a win, and that’s what the NCAA tournament is all about.” The fourth-seeded Cardinals, who are looking for a third straight trip to the Final Four, move on the Midwest Regional semifinals in Indianapolis against either No. 1 seed Wichita State or Kentucky. “Obvious, they’ve got a
chance to repeat,” Saint Louis coach Jim Crews said of Louisville’s chances of winning it all again. Dwayne Evans led Saint Louis, which has never been to the Sweet 16, with 16 points. Atlantic 10 player of the year Jordair Jett finished with 15. Chris Jones made a couple of huge shots and scored 11 points for Louisville. Montrezl Harrell put a punctuation mark on the victory with a dunk that gave him 10 points and 11 rebounds. Pitino improved to 50-16 in the NCAA tournament, including a 16-0 mark in the round of 16. The Cardinals are in the regional semifinals for the 20th time, matching Kansas and trailing only North Carolina (25), Kentucky (24) and Duke (23). Smith struggled shooting the ball for the second
straight game, missing his first four attempts and going scoreless until his 3-pointer put the Cardinals up 25-14 in the final minute of the opening half. Saint Louis starts five seniors, and their experience and cohesion showed in weathering a slow start and methodically working its way back into the game after falling down by 11. The Billikens began the second half with a 13-2 run, holding Louisville without a field goal for nearly 7 minutes to take a 29-27 lead. But Smith hit a floater in the lane, then made two free throws to restore order for the Cardinals, who limited Saint Louis to 39.6 percent shooting. Louisville rebuilt their lead to 13 over the next 9 minPlease see LOUISVILLE |11A
Michigan overwhelms Texas to advance to Sweet 16 JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer
MILWAUKEE — Nik Stauskas and Michigan figured out the best way to overcome Texas’ advantage inside. Just keeping hitting from long range. Stauskas made four of Michigan’s 14 3-pointers, and the Wolverines beat the Longhorns 79-65 on Saturday to advance to the NCAA tournament’s Sweet 16 for the second straight year. Stauskas finished with 17 points and eight assists as Michigan (27-8) moved on to next week’s Midwest Regional semifinals in Indianapolis.
The second-seeded Wolverines will face the winner of Sunday’s Mercer-Tennessee game. Michigan lost to Louisville in the national championship game a year ago. But the Wolverines are rolling again, thanks to strong outside shooting and Jordan Morgan’s work inside. Isiah Taylor scored 22 points for Texas on 8-for-22 shooting. The seventh-seeded Longhorns (24-11) outrebounded the Wolverines 41-30, but got off to a slow start and never recovered. Michigan shot 14 for 28
from 3-point range and 17 for 21 at the free throw line in its ninth win in the last 10 games. Morgan had 15 points and 10 rebounds, and Caris LeVert and Glenn Robinson III had 14 points each. Texas trailed by 18 points early in the second half, but used its defense and rebounding to get back in the game. Martez Walker hit two free throws and Taylor had a jumper to trim Michigan’s lead to 58-52 with 8 minutes left. That’s when Robinson stepped up for the Wolverines, driving inside for a
score. After Connor Lammert turned it over for the Longhorns, Robinson hit a 3-pointer to make it 63-52 with 6:43 remaining. LeVert added a big 3 in the final minutes, helping Michigan overcome its trouble inside in the second half. The Longhorns outrebounded the Wolverines 25-15 after halftime. Michigan was coming off a 57-40 victory over Wofford, while Texas advanced with a dramatic 87-85 victory over Arizona State in the late game Please see MICHIGAN |11A
Upstart Dayton surprises Syracuse to reach regional semifinals JOHN KEKIS AP Sports Writer
BUFFALO, N.Y. — THE University of Dayton is to be reckoned with. Dyshawn Pierre scored 14 points and Jordan Sibert, held scoreless in the first half, hit a key 3-pointer with 47.7 seconds left as Dayton stunned Syracuse 55-53 Saturday night to earn a spot in Sweet 16 for the first time in three decades. Syracuse was poised to pull out another close victory, but Tyler Ennis missed two jumpers that would have given the Orange the lead in the final seconds. Dayton (25-10), the 11th seed in the South Regional, advances to the regional semifinals next week and will play Kansas or Stanford.
The third-seeded Orange (28-6), who finished second in their first year in the Atlantic Coast Conference, struggled all game against the swarming Dayton defense, missing all 10 attempts from beyond the arc, while the Flyers hit seven times from long range. After Sibert stepped out of bounds with 14 seconds left and Dayton up by one, Ennis took a jumper from just inside the 3-point line instead of driving the lane as he had all night. The standout freshman finished with 19 points on 7-of-21 shooting, including 0-5 on 3-pointers. Syracuse fouled Pierre and he made one free throw. Ennis rushed down court and missed the potentially winning 3 as the buzzer sounded.
Sibert finished with 10 points and Sanford had eight. It was another close win for Dayton after beating in-state rival Ohio State 60-59 Thursday. After that game, the Dayton Daily News mocked Buckeye fans who refer to “The Ohio State University” with a headline that read: “THE University of Dayton.” Fair had 14 points on 4-of14 shooting and 10 rebounds in his final game for the Orange. Jerami Grant had just four points and attempted only three shots before fouling out late. Trevor Cooney, who broke out of a long slum with four 3-pointers in the second round against Western Michigan, had two points and missed all four shots he took from behind the arc.
Dayton, which improved to 11-0 when holding opponents under 60 points, led by as many as seven in the first half and extended its twopoint halftime lead to six on the transition strikes the Flyers thrive on. After Cooney missed a 3 from the left corner, Khari Price hit a 3 at the other end after a quick rush to make it 32-26 with 12:54 left. The game went back-andforth from that point, with Fair and Ennis hitting layups to give Syracuse a 40-37 lead with 7:48 left. The Flyers reeled off seven straight points to regain the lead. Scoochie Smith hit a 3 from the top of the key and a wide-open Pierre drained another from the left corner after some slick passing.

A lot was made of the inside matchup between Young and Zanna, two ripped centers who played well Thursday. But Wilbekin was the story in this one. His best play didn’t even show up in the box score. Wilbekin saved one of the many loose balls Florida got to first, turned around and threw a strike to Casey Prather. Prather drove the lane and dropped the ball to Young for
a dunk that energized the pro-Florida crowd. “I think just trying to get better in little areas, the small stuff, trying to be a better leader,� said Wilbekin, who was suspended five games to start the season. “As far as how it translates on the court, I think it’s helped me become a better leader, be more connected with my teammates and coach. It’s helped me play with a freer mind.�
LOUISVILLE CONTINUED FROM 10A
utes, with Hancock making two 3-pointers and Smith finishing a 23-8 surge with a driving layup that put his team up 50-37. Smith finished 3 of 10 from the field and had a team-high seven turnovers. The senior led the Cardinals with seven assists. “Russ Smith has grown so much as a basketball player, but he still has one thing left, and I tried to explain this to him at
halftime,� Pitino said, adding that Smith has to learn to recognize how other coaches are game-planning to slow him down. “All the great ones from Michael Jordan to Kobe, they don’t try to score 20 points in the first quarter. They get everybody else the ball and they let the game come to me, the other team fatigues and things open up. So his last lesson is to play like he did in the second half. .. . He’s our Michael, our Kobe.�
MICHIGAN CONTINUED FROM 10A
Thursday night. The Longhorns and Sun Devils were tied in the final seconds when Cameron Ridley picked up a loose ball and banked it in as time expired. It might have been the completely different games in the previous round or just Michigan’s advantage in tournament experience, but the Wolverines
jumped all over the Longhorns at the start. Stauskas led the way with his outside shooting and passing skills. He had three of Michigan’s eight 3s in the first half. He also threw a perfect alley-oop pass to Robinson for a dunk that made it 36-18 with 3:35 left, and found Morgan for another jam off a perfect pick-and-roll.

New markets for state timber benefit industry BY ERROL CASTENS Associated Press
TUPELO — Trees have grown in what is Mississippi for countless eons, but changes in how they’re grown, how they’re processed and what they’re used for have changed the landscape in the state over the past half-century or so. In 2006, just before timber prices dropped with the decline in housing starts, forest products had reached a high point, contributing $17.4 billion and 123,659 direct and indirect jobs to the state’s economy, according to Mississippi State University research. “The size of the industry in terms of dollar value sales and jobs is definitely larger than decades ago,” said James Henderson, MSU associate extension professor and one of the authors of the 2008 study.
One of the first big advances was the advent of the Counce, Tenn., paper mill, followed by another massive mill in Courtland, Ala. Pulpwood to supply the paper mills gave growers a new market for small trees, especially pines. Landowners benefited doubly from cash payments for the pulpwood harvest itself and from the faster growth from trees that remained after thinning harvests, eventually boosting yields of trees for higher-priced products such as lumber, plywood or poles. The pulp market, however, is a big question mark in today’s wood products industry. “In the U.S., we have a declining pulp/paper sector partly because of cost of labor and also because of regulatory compliance,” Henderson said.
“That’s a substantial cost. A lot of major paper companies U.S.-based companies close mills in the U.S. and open them in Asia, where they don’t have those compliance costs.” The International Paper plant in Courtland, Ala., is a casualty of that pressure. Formerly a major market for the region’s pulpwood, it began cutting production last year and is now closed. The U.S. housing market over several decades drove domestic demand for lumber and other tree products, making timber a more attractive crop for marginal farmland and justified more intensive management. “Our forest products industry in the South is tied to the U.S. residential construction market,” Henderson said. While the Pacific Northwest ships much of
its timber and wood products to Asia, he said, “We in the South have always been very dependent on domestic consumption.” The South has a singular advantage in responding to domestic demand, however: The U.S. government owns much of the timber in the Pacific Northwest, while corporations, institutions, families and individuals own most of that in the South. As a result, it is subject to fewer regulations that add to either the cost or the timeline in harvesting. Governmental policy has played a large role in shaping the timber industry and with it Mississippi’s landscape. “When I first became aware of the timber industry, my father was one of the first people in Lafayette County to plant pine trees,” said land and timber owner Kaye Bry-

ant of Oxford. “When the YLT (Yazoo-Little Tallahatchie flood control area) planting program came in, he was one of the first to join it. It aimed to correct the failed experiment of planting kudzu to control erosion. The YLT program said we should plant pine trees, which have a deep taproot, to stabilize soil. That was the early 1950s.” Post-war housing demand and the expansion of utilities fueled much of the government’s promotion of tree farming. “Most all building required pine timber for framing, and there was a building boom in the early 1950s,” Bryant said. “At that time, all utility poles were made of creosoted logs. If you could grow a pine tree that was straight and tall and not malformed in any way, you could get a prime price for it.” Paper companies also promoted forest planting and management among small landholders. “They would have a forester get out in the community and work with landowners to replant, and they would often even give free pine seedlings,” said Robert Howell, a consulting forester from Baldwyn. “All that was stimulated from the need of these mills to have a reliable wood source.” Some aspects of timbering that were common just a few decades ago are essentially gone. Fire towers were once vital to spotting smoke plumes and dispatching wildfire suppression crews have been replaced by aerial and even satellite detection. Harvest of pulpwood by chainsaw and bobtruck has given way to machines that cut and de-limb treelength logs, making the process far less laborintensive and far more capital-intensive. Tied to that change, railroads that hauled pulpwood from local woodyards to paper mills now sit idle in many towns, while 18-wheelers loaded with those logs make 200-mile round trips to mills in the region. “We used to have a lot of smaller trucks, and the wood companies, because
of their concern about reliability of producers, decided they would have satellite buying sites,” said Howell. “They had woodyards in every little town Maben, Holly Springs, New Albany, Booneville.” One forestry task where hand labor still dominates is reforestation, said Don Thompson, a consulting forester from Golden. While machines can transplant year-old trees in open fields or pastures, humans with hand tools are more effective at planting such seedlings where rough terrain or harvest debris would stymie a mechanical planter. New products and technologies have provided new markets for timber products, too, in the past 50 years. Oriented strand board, a cheaper plywood substitute often used in subfloors, roof sheathing and even furniture, uses trees that are too crooked and knotty for traditional plywood or lumber. “Chip-and-saw” technology allows harvesters to extract more valuable two-by-fours from the hearts of small trees while utilizing the rest for OSB. The rayon favored by many Asian garment manufacturers is made with dissolved pulp, another recent advance in wood-products exporting. A host of technologies are involved in intensively managed tree farming. “Private landowners have, to a great extent, realized the value of our timber land and are managing it and reaping the benefits of it,” Howell said. “Because of the research and development that have given us genetic improvements and herbicides and fertilization and new tree spacings, we’ve improved the productivity per acre. “Compressing time is really important. What we’ve done is to get a tree that tall and that big in a shorter amount of time,” he said. In previous generations, many landowners didn’t spend any resources on managing timber, assuming it to be an oncein-a-lifetime harvest. With improved genetics and care, however, one owner may conceivably see two terminal harvests.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — John E. Love, a Bataan Death March survivor who led a campaign to change the caption on a historic march photo from The Associated Press, has died. He was 91. Love died Monday after a long battle with cancer, said Gerry Lightwine, pastor at La Vida Llena, an Albuquerque retirement home where Love lived. As a 19-year-old member of the New Mexico Guard, Love was one of 75,000 Filipino and American soldiers who were taken captive by the Japanese in World War II when the U.S. forces surrendered in the province of Bataan and Corregidor Island in April 1942.
In all, tens of thousands of troops were forced to march to Japanese prison camps in what became known as the Bataan Death March. Many were denied food, water and medical care, and those who collapsed during the scorching journey through Philippine jungles were shot or bayoneted. “I was one of the first 300 or 400 off the march to enter Camp O’Donnell, and they (prisoners) began dying that same day,” Love told the Albuquerque Journal in a 2009 interview. He estimated he carried more than 1,000 bodies to the graveyard. For the remainder of the war, Love was forced to work in a Japanese copper mine until being liberated in 1945.

Nature boasts useful items for this earth child BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com
For earth child Cyndi Stockton, nature abounds with useful items. The 39-year-old mother of Maisy, 11 and Lainie, 14 has been mixing up her herbal concoctions, botanical blends and organic goodies since the spring of 2010. “I was living in Oxford when I first started making my products. I had several neighbors who practiced an organic lifestyle. They taught me a lot. I also learned a great deal from my grandmother. She always used plants for medicinal reasons,” said the Henderson, Tenn. born vegetarian. Stockton went out on a limb and decided to open up her own herbal shop. “Owning my own business has been wonderful. I started with no start up money whatsoever. Everyone thought I was crazy, but I decided I was gonna go for it and see what happened,” said the organic business owner. Thus, Daisy Chain Herbals and organics was born. In 2012, it opened in its current location at 1801 South Harper Road just inside the entrance to the Harper Square Mall. “There have been tears, frustrations ... a range of emotions really, but it has turned out to be a very rewarding experience,” she said. When it came to picking out a name for her business, Stockton said she chose to name it after her favorite flower, the daisy. “It reminds me of my childhood with my grandpa. Growing up we always made daisy chains and he would let us put them on him and dress him up. I remember him always saying to me, ‘Don’t work for someone else, work for yourself. Find your own place in life.’ He is one of the reasons I decided to do it,” said the crafter of daisy chains. Stockton sees a connection between the daisy chains of her youth and the chain of events one must go through in order to live a healthy, organic lifestyle. “It’s a process. For me, the name reflects that process. I’m also a bit of a hippie as well and daisy chains are awesome to wear in your hair too,” said the herbalist. Last year, she attended her first Green Market and has since then set up at seven of the downtown events. “I always try to make something new and exciting for each Green Market. Right now I am working on a room spray for small children to help them have sweet dreams and chase the boogie man away. In two or three months, I’ll also have a cream for varicose veins. I am excited about it because I know a lot of people are going to be able to use it,” said Stockton in reference to her upcoming plans. In addition to her shop, her soothing potions may be found at Warren Rossi’s Relaxstation Day Spa and Jenni Lambert’s J Christopher Salon. “The new body butters are my favorite right now. I use them as moisturizer, in my hair and even on my feet. Not only do they smell amazing, but they also have medicinal properties. It can be used as an anti-fungal because it is made with coconut oil. Everything I make serves more than one purpose,” said the wife of Kevin Stockton. It is not unusual to see the nature-lover gathering plants and herbs. She believes everyone should use their lawn as their
garden and their food as medicine. “We were meant to eat plants, fruits and vegetables, not genetically modified, packaged and processed foods. You can turn to plants for pretty much whatever you’ve got going on,” said the Corinth resident. She said taking a pill to solve a problem is like putting a bandage on a symptom. “I’m not saying don’t take your blood pressure medicine because I would never do that. What I’m saying is, if you choose to eat healthier and lead an organic lifestyle, you could very well be able to reduce or even eliminate the medication,” said Stockton. It is also important to note that medicine should be stepped down gradually when it is no longer needed. One should never quit taking a medication cold turkey as it could result in devastating effects. This measure should only be taken after first consulting with the patient’s personal physician. Berries can help with arthritis and joint discomfort because they cut down inflammation, she said. “Onions are for congestion. In olden times, people would sweat the onions on the stove, place them in a sock and put them on their children’s feet. Some of the congestion would escape their bodies through their feet,” she explained. Since no one wants to go around smelling like stinky onions these days, she offered rosemary as a better smelling alternative. Many herbs and plants viewed as an unnecessary nuisance can actually be quite beneficial. “Dandelions can help with liver function, as well as pull out toxins and sickness. The greens can also be eaten and are very nutritious. They have tons of vitamins and minerals. I would actually categorize it as a super food,” she said. Another commonly overlooked plant is the plantain, not to be confused with the banana like plantain which is commonly used in Latin and Caribbean cooking. The outer leaves resemble that of a head of lettuce. “It grows everywhere. If you find yourself hungry while out hiking, you can eat it. It can also be used for scrapes, cuts and combating the itch and burn of mosquito bites and bee stings. Plantains are also helpful with digestion,” said Stockton who also enjoys gardening and picking plants. She described the taste as being a bit bitter, but one which pairs well with spinach. Stockton has studied plants extensively. She has taken online webinars and courses, as well as researched various plants and their healing properties in her many reference books. “When I look at a lavender plant, I think to myself ... you can help me relax, you can help me heal and you are anti-bacterial,” said Stockton about one of her favorite herbs. According to the herbalist, one must develop a relationship with the plants in order to be successful. “You can’t just look at a book and figure it out. You must become familiar with it, study it, sketch it, make things with it and know what it can do for you,” said the avid forager. As everyone looks toward the dreaded task of spring cleaning, Stockton thinks of ways to make

Boil the plants in water, put it in a spray bottle and you have a natural, all-purpose cleaner,” she said. It’s also time to be thinking about mosquitoes, flies and other pests. “Rubbing geranium on your skin can help keep ticks off of you and your dog, but cats don’t seem to tolerate it very well as it is a bit too potent for them,” Stockton said. Everyone has used or at least seen a citronella candle, but not everyone realizes that citronella is actually a plant. “You can snap off a citronella leaf, wipe yourself down with it and keep mosquitoes away,” said
“The new body butters are my favorite right now. I use them as moisturizer, in my hair and even on my feet. Not only do they smell amazing, but they also have medicinal properties.

She also recommended growing basil around the front door or hanging it in pots to keep flies away.
The self-proclaimed happy, hippie said while anyone can craft their own herbal products, it is important to remember that things which are natural can also be danger-
ous if one is not properly educated on their use. Essential oils such as wintergreen can burn the skin if not diluted with a carrier oil such as, almond or olive. It is important to consult dilution tables and reference books to ensure proper dilution and safety are achieved. “My goal is to be able to offer products for every aspect of a person’s life that are affordable, beneficial and completely organic,” said the business owner. When she’s not personalizing lotions, bath salts, shaving oils and body butters, the 1992 Kossuth High School graduate and University of Alabama Interior design major enjoys painting, making things with her own hands and attending music festivals.

Edible wedding favors are a hit A token of appreciation for guests is requisite at wedding receptions. Wedding favors enable attendees to walk away from the event with a memento and also a small thank you for their participation and celebration of this momentous event. Brides- and groomsto-be have different ideas when it comes to wedding favors. Guests have their own opinions, too. As customs and trends change, so do the options in wedding favors. In the past, wedding favors were not much different from the items offered today, and not every guest was privy to a take-home trinket. In the 16th century, wedding favors were a sign of extravagance and showed off the family’s wealth to the guests. Only rich and prominent people during those times could afford and provide sophisticated gifts to their guests. Some favors symbolized luck, and sharing them with guests ensured good luck to all as well.
able. But linen and cotton are highly prone to wrinkling, and a wrinkled suit will not present well in a formal setting. Cotton and linen may be best reserved for informal weddings or those that will be taking place outdoors or beachside. Seersucker suits are made from cotton in a unique weaving pattern that lets air ventilate through the material. Seersucker suits may be most popular in the southeastern United States, but they can be worn anywhere the weather is warm. Many of these suits are manufactured in a gray, blue and brown striped pattern. Again, due to the lightweight fabric, you will feel cool. For less formal weddings, a seersucker suit may fit. A khaki suit or a tan one may work better if the wedding is more formal. Ensure the accessories are in place to make this look work. The suit should fit well and be tailored appropriately. Sharp creases in the pants and a crisp shirt and tie can complete the look. If the groomsmen are in coordinating suits, a tan or khaki color will not look out of place. If a full suit still feels too stiff, a
Some say shoes make the woman, but if they’re uncomfortable, shoes very well may break the woman — especially at a wedding. From the bride to the guests, choosing the wrong shoes could sideline you from dancing or cause pain through the night. A smarter step is to put just as much thought into the shoes you will wear as the other parts of your wardrobe.
nice blazer paired with a complementary colored trouser may be appropriate for a less formal affair. Some grooms want to err on the side of caution and stick with a classic suit or tuxedo. In such instances, grooms may want to investigate lighter weight wools. Such suits won’t be as confining as a heavier suit. Grooms wearing a tuxedo may want to choose a white tuxedo. A white tuxedo will look pristine and fit with a formal theme. And the white will reflect the sun and be cooler without looking casual. A groom who does not mind a midday wardrobe change can opt to wear a standard suit or tuxedo and plan to change later on for the reception. He can coordinate with his new bride and step into something more comfortable for dancing and enjoying the ensuing party. This allows for formality when the moments call for it and comfort later on in the day. Dressing for a warm weather wedding may require a bit of ingenuity on the part of the groom. There are different fabrics and styles of suit available to present plenty of wardrobe options.
Right song adds to father-daughter dance Many brides anxiously await their opportunity to dance with dear old Dad at their wedding receptions. One of the more beloved wedding traditions, the father-daughter dance is an often touching moment for fathers, new brides and guests alike. Though fathers and their daughters can choose whatever song they’d like for their special dance to-
gether, the following are some of the more popular songs for this special event. • “The Way You Look Tonight” -- Frank Sinatra • “My Girl” -- The Temptations • “Isn’t She Lovely” -Stevie Wonder • “Wonderful Tonight” -- Eric Clapton • “Have I Told You Lately” -- Rod Stewart • “Butterfly Kisses” --
Almonds were common favors because they symbolized fertility, health, happiness, wealth, and longevity. Bonbonnieres were once a popular wedding favor. A bonbonniere is a small, decorative box made of porcelain, crystal or gold. It is embellished with colorful and precious gems. Inside the box houses a sweet delicacy, often called a bonbon. In modern times, many couples are returning to the tradition of giving bonbonnieres or other edible favors as their wedding celebration thank-yous. Edible favors are often economical and guests tend to appreciate them. After all, guests have to find a nook in their homes in which to house an engraved ice cream scooper or yet another small statuette. Edible gifts can be as varied as a person desires. Candy-coated almonds are still popular, but many couples have expanded their choices and have created new trends in favors. For
those couples seeking a unique edible favor for the wedding, here are some suggestions. • Cake or brownie pops: Food on a stick has long been a favorite of many, but the concept has been taken to new heights with the creation of cake pops. These are small balls of cake or brownie that are made from cake crumbs and frosting. The balls are covered in candy melts or chocolate and served on a stick. Chocolate artists can transform ordinary cake pops into works of art with intricate piping designs on the hard, outer shell. Clear cello bags and decorative ribbon may be all that’s necessary for a classic wrapping. • Cookies: Pastry arts continue to be popular favors for any occasion. Many bakeries offer intricately designed and decorated cookies that can pertain to any theme. Think about a wedding couple or a set of rings as the cookie of choice for a wedding favor. Most cookies last 2 to 3 weeks, so they can be purchased
in advance. • Petit fours: These bite-sized pastries lend themselves well to wedding favors. They can easily be paired and put in small boxes as takehome treats. Some bakeries create petit fours on demand. If not, petit fours can be purchased through online vendors. • Chocolate: Gourmet chocolate remains a popular edible favor. Choose among truffles, caramels, chocolate-covered pretzels, or any favorite treat. Depending on the chocolatier, favors may come pre-boxed and wrapped. • Seasonal treats: If a wedding coincides with a particular season or holiday, favors can be coordinated as well. Think caramel-covered apples for fall parties, chocolate bunnies for spring events, spiced cake bars for the winter holidays or lemon tarts for summer weddings. Wedding favors have been a part of wedding ceremonies for centuries. Edible gifts are thoughtful and flavorful mementos of the wedding day.
Put a comfortable foot forward for nuptials
Plenty of options for warm weddings Weddings are a time to get dolled up. Though some gentlemen may be tempted to wear the suit they wear to work, a formal event necessitates something a bit more remarkable. When the weather is warm, some men may scoff at the idea of wearing a full suit or even a tuxedo. But just because a person is wearing pants and a jacket doesn’t mean the suit must be dark and heavy. Although dark colors are traditional for weddings, dark, heavy fabrics will absorb the sun’s rays, making the groom and his groomsmen uncomfortable. Even when a warmweather wedding takes place largely indoors where it is climate controlled, many couples choose to have the ceremony outdoors, where they pose for photographs as well. The groom and his groomsmen will want to be comfortable during these times, and the right suit and fabric can make all the difference. Linen and cotton are all-natural fabrics that are made from plant fibers. They are much lighter weight than wool, and linen and cotton suits may be more comfort-

Here are some considerations. • Wedge heels: Unlike other types of heels that put the brunt of the pressure on the ball of the foot, wedge heels distribute body weight evenly throughout the foot. Therefore, you might find these are some of the most comfortable types of heels around. Designers make them in all styles, including more
formal versions perfect for weddings. • Ballet pumps: Ballet pumps, once made famous by style icon Audrey Hepburn, can be worn with skirts or slacks. Their low profile helps keep feet comfortable, and they may come as flats or with a tiny heel. Embellished with bows, flowers or ribbons, these shoes will dress up any outfit.
• Sandals: Particularly for warm-weather events, sandals can be quite comfortable and fashionable. Giving a peek of toe and ankle can be just as sexy as stilettos, without the pain. For those who prefer heels for photo ops and looking fabulous, consider bringing along a change of shoes just in case foot pain flares up later in the evening.

In Bible epic revival, ‘Noah’ finds rough seas BY JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer
NEW YORK — In the beginning of their work together on “Noah,” director Darren Aronofsky made Russell Crowe a promise: “I’ll never shoot you on a houseboat in a robe and sandals with two giraffes popping up behind you.” Decades after Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments” and “BenHur,” Aronofsky has renewed the tradition of the studio-made, massaudience Bible epic, albeit as a distinctly darker parable about sin, justice and mercy. While much of his “Noah” is true to Scripture, it’s nothing like the picture-book version many encounter as children. “The first time I read it, I got scared,” the director says. “I thought, ‘What if I’m not good enough to get on the boat?’” It’s an altogether unlikely project: a $130 mil-
lion Bible-based studio film made by a widely respected filmmaker (“Black Swan,” ‘‘Requiem for a Dream”) few would have pegged as a modern-day DeMille. In the lead-up to its March 28th release, “Noah” has been flooded by controversy, with some religious conservatives claiming it isn’t literal enough to the Old Testament and that Noah has been inaccurately made, as Aronofsky has called him, “the first environmentalist.” “Noah” is a culmination of the shift brought on by Mel Gibson’s independently produced “The Passion of the Christ,” which awakened Hollywood with its unforeseen $612 million box office haul in 2004. In the time since, Hollywood has carefully developed closer ties to faith-based communities, (Sony and 20th Century Fox have set up faith-based studios targeting evangelicals).
Cryptoquip

Yet the debate about “Noah” proves that it can be tricky to satisfy both believers and non-believers, and that finding the right intersection of art, commerce and religion is a task loaded with as much risk as potential reward. A lot is at stake, and not just for “Noah” and distributor Paramount Pictures. In December, Fox will release Ridley Scott’s “Exodus,” starring Christian Bale as Moses. On the heels of the recently released “Son of God,” the religious drama “God’s Not Dead” opened Friday and Sony is releasing the less straightforwardly Biblical “Heaven Is for Real” ahead of Easter next month. The studio is also developing a vampire twist on Cain and Able with Will Smith. In Lionsgate’s pipeline is a Mary Magdalene film, hyped as a prequel to “The Passion of the Christ” and co-produced
by mega-church pastor Joel Osteen. When Jonathan Boch started his company Grace Hill Media in 2000 to consult Hollywood studios on reaching the faith community, the two “really didn’t know each other,” he says. Since then, films like “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and “The Blind Side” have benefited from outreach to churchgoers. “Over the course of those 15 years, you’ve seen the faith community go from almost pariah status or fly-over status to now being seen as an important market,” says Boch, who consulted on “Noah.” ‘‘In my mind, what we’re seeing is another renaissance where the greatest artists are telling the greatest stories every told.” Though Hollywood largely swore off the Bible epic when films like 1965’s “The Greatest Story Ever Told” flopped, the revival dovetails recent trends. Figures like Noah are globally recognizable, and thus easier to market. They come with no licensing fee, and, often, plenty opportunity for flashy special effects. “Noah,” which is being released in converted 3-D overseas, is perhaps the oldest apocalypse story. The story fascinated Aronofsky as a Jewish kid growing up in Brooklyn. He recalls a poem he wrote about the tale as a 13-yearold — and a teacher’s subsequent encouragement — as his birth as a storyteller. Whereas “The Passion of the Christ” was largely made by Christians and for Christians, Aronofsky says his “Noah” (which was advertised during the Super Bowl) is “for everybody.” “It’s wrong when you talk about the Noah story to talk about it in that
type of believer-nonbeliever way because I think it’s one of humanity’s oldest stories,” he says. “It belongs not just in the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition. Everyone on the planet knows the Noah story.” The Genesis story is only a few pages, with more details on the dimensions of the ark (which Aronofsky held to) than who Noah was. He’s instructed by God — “grieved” in his heart by what mankind had become generations after creation — to build an ark and fill it with two of every animal. After the flood, Noah is referred to as drunk and then banishes his son, Ham — all clues for Aronofsky on the pain of Noah’s burden. Paramount sought the approval of religious leaders, consulting with Biblical scholars in preproduction and doing extensive test screenings (during which Aronofsky and Paramount feuded over the final cut before an apparent truce). But early criticism bubbled up online based on what Paramount vice chairman Rob Moore says is an old, unused version of the script (which Aronofsky penned with Ari Handel). “It has been a very interesting journey,” says Moore. “It’s been highly chronicled along the way, much of which was based upon either speculation or hearsay or old information.” After seeing the film, Jerry A. Johnson, president and CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters, urged Paramount to advertise the film with a disclaimer. Moore acquiesced, adding a warning that “artistic license has been taken.” “Darren, as an artist, had some sensitivity about
what that meant in terms of what we were saying the movie was or wasn’t ahead of time, versus letting people experience it for themselves,” says Moore. “But there was such a group of people who had concern about it.” “For the vast majority of people, the controversy will go away,” he says. Johnson still has mixed feelings about “Noah,” calling it “a great plus, minus”: neither worthy of the boycott that Roman Catholics held for Martin Scorsese’s “The Last Temptation of Christ,” nor a film like “The Passion of the Christ” that will have churches sending busloads to theaters. “They got the big points of the story right,” says Johnson. “It’s so countercultural today in America or the West to talk about sin, right and wrong, and particularly the idea of judgment — and that is so serious in this film.” Johnson adds that, among other reservations, “the insertion of the extremist environmental agenda is a problem.” Aronofsky disputes that. “It’s in the Bible that we are supposed to tend the garden,” the director says. “To say there’s no ecological side to the Noah story when Noah is saving the animals just doesn’t make sense to me.” Picturehouse founder Bob Berney, who as president of Newmarket Films distributed “The Passion of the Christ,” says balancing artistic license and faithfulness to Scripture is challenging. “It’s a kind of a trap, and you have to be very careful,” says Berney. “At the same time, they are movies, and they have to be really good. I think the faith-based audience, the Christian audience still wants a big, exciting movie.”
