Possible hate crime probed BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
The Crossroads area has been thrust into the national spotlight following last week’s assault and possible hate crime on a Corinth man. Police Chief Ralph Dance said James David Scott, 23, of Tishomingo County, confronted Devin Norman, 26, of Corinth, around 1 p.m. Friday afternoon in the Wal-Mart
parking lot in Corinth. According to Dance, the confrontation started inside Wal-Mart after Norman threatened to “out” Scott on Facebook. Later in the store’s parking lot, Scott punched Norman in the face knocking him to ground and kicking him several times in the face. Scott fled the scene and was apprehended just east of Wal-Mart on Sara Lane.
Norman suffered several facial wounds and fractured bones and a broken cheek bone. “The victim and the suspect have known each other for awhile -- they had some type of relationship. They texted and called each other often,” Dance said. “It seems only threats were made, no actual Facebook post Please see ASSAULT | 2A

25 outside of the cab service in downtown Corinth. Henderson, a taxi cab driver for 43 years, was discovered by fellow driver William “Billy” Burress outside of the Taylor Street business after failing to hear from Henderson for over an hour. “It was a very senseless act,” said Henderson’s daughter. “Daddy’s death has had a major impact on my life … there are a lot of things I don’t do any more.”
ASSAULT A reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction in the murder of Henderson remains active and stands at $5,500. “Daddy could have died from anything,” said Patterson. “But the way he died leaves me feeling cheated.” The Corinth Police Department continues to follow up leads in the case. “We are not going to quit,” said Police Chief Ralph Dance. “The case will never be closed and we would love to see an arrest made.”
“I want the police to get who did it and I don’t want to do anything to hinder the investigation,” added Patterson. According to Dance, there has been a lot of finger pointing but no hard evidence to make an arrest in the homicide. “There is no physical evidence or witnesses which makes it hard to arrest someone,” said the chief. “We will continue to follow up on all leads that come in on the case.” It has been a hard and long wait for Patterson. “No news is depressing

… I want to hear something,” she said. “But as hard as it is to sit and wait, daddy wouldn’t want me to do anything to disgrace his name … we want to do things the right way.” Holidays have been different for Patterson since the death of her father. “My youngest still asks for his pawpaw,” she said. “Father’s Day was the hardest.” She also still feels the need to talk to Cleo. “I still call his phone,” said Patterson. “Of course he doesn’t answer, but I feel like it is something I have to do.” Patterson’s faith in God and her family keep her going. “I don’t know what I would do without God,” she said. “Everyday I talk to Him and ask Him to tell daddy something for me.” Patterson hopes someone will come forward with evidence about the case. “I don’t want people to forget daddy,” said his daughter. “I believe there is someone out there who knows who did this and I am hoping they eventually come forward with some new information.” Until then, Patterson must cope with the tragedy. “It’s wait and see right now,” she said. “I am not a patient person, but I have to be because whoever did this will have to pay for it one day.” (If anyone has information about the case, they can call Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at 1-800-773-8477 or the Corinth Police Department at 662-286-3377.)

He is currently free on bond. Dance said the crime is still being investigated. Norman supporters created a GoFundMe.com account on Sunday to help raise money for Norman’s medical expenses. More than $2,900 had been raised in less than 48 hours. A small group of supporters gathered in protest in front of Wal-Mart on Sunday, while others created a petition on the White House website asking the Obama administration to “force” District Attorney Trent Kelly to charge the attack as a hate crime. Mississippi currently has no laws protecting people against hate crimes.

Street Commissioner Philip Verdung said this new route eliminates the problems of a run downtown while offering an alternative location in the city. In other business before the board: ■ Verdung briefed the board on the closure of a section of Madison Street where old pipes collapsed. ■ Aldermen gave approval to apply for a grant through the Urban Youth Corps program to provide summer work for individuals ages 16 to 25. It is a Federal Highway Administration program administered by the Mississippi Department of Transportation. The city received a $35,000 grant to carry out the program in 2014. Youth did work such as painting the decorative street markers downtown and creating a green space immediately behind City Hall. ■ In property cleanup, the board voted 5-1 to give a two-week continuance for 1509 Washington Street and gave a 30-day continuance for 1702 Tate Street. ■ The street department received approval to accept a 1996 Ford truck from Corinth Gas & Water. ■ The board agreed to surplus two police vehicles, a 2009 and a 2011 Crown Victoria.

Chancellor firing raises protesting Associated Press
JACKSON — Supporters of University of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones continue to push for the College Board to reverse itself and extend Jones’ contract. The moves come as the board planned a meeting Monday in Jackson. Prominent Ole Miss names including former chancellor Robert Khayat and former star quarterback and major donor Archie Manning are assailing the 9-2 vote Friday to not extend Jones’ contract past September. The board lost faith in Jones over the course of a critical examination of contracting and management practices at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
The Sun Herald reports Harold had been taken to a hospital for treatment after a vehicle crash in a pursuit by police but left the hospital before an arrest warrant could be secured. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives placed Harold on its list of most-wanted criminal suspects. He also was wanted on charges from a home invasion and attempted murder in
Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. Harold, 31, was taken into custody in September. A federal grand jury indicted Harold and Kevin Parfait, 28, on multiple charges in March 2014. The charges are stealing firearms from a licensed dealer, receiving stolen property and felon in possession of a firearm. Testimony has revealed burglars disconnected the store’s
New voter cards for most of DeSoto The Associated Press
HERNANDO — Legislative redistricting means changes for 90,000 of the county’s 96,500 registered voters. The Commercial Appeal reports that the County Circuit Clerk’s office is sending new registration cards to voters in 37 of DeSoto County’s 39 precincts. Deputy Clerk Marla Treadway said Friday that the printer has begun mailing out the cards
and some voters should have received them already. She says the rest should go out this week. She says voters who don’t get them should get in touch with the clerk’s office unless they live in the Eudora and Hacks Cross Road precincts. Those two precincts are not affected. People don’t have to bring the cards when they vote. But they provide needed information on where to vote.

Arguments set in rape conviction appeal Associated Press
JACKSON — Attorneys for death row inmate Charles Ray Crawford planned to argue Monday before the Mississippi Supreme Court that the man’s 1994 rape conviction should be tossed out because he received poor legal representation at his trial. Crawford, now 49, is on death row for the 1992 slaying of Kristy
Ray in the Chalybeate community in Tippah County. Crawford argues he received ineffective counsel to defend himself against the rape charge, which were used by prosecutors to seek the death penalty. The Supreme Court refused in December to throw out Crawford’s appeal of his 1994 rape conviction. Prosecutors argue Crawford got a

Impact of Harrison court ruling watched BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Capitol Dome
JACKSON — Mike Davis understands the angst felt by the Pat Harrison Waterway District when member counties leave and take their money with them. Davis is executive director of the Pearl River Basin Development District. Since 2001, the district has lost five of its 15 member counties, including populous Rankin and Hinds counties. “We lost 30 percent of our counties and 40 percent of our revenue,” Davis said. The partings in the Pearl River district were not as legally contentiously as those involving Pat Harrison. The Mississippi Supreme Court ruled 5-4 this past week that Lamar County is not required to provide financial support to the Pat Harrison Waterway District beyond the date of its withdrawal from the district. Pat Harrison argued contractual obligations with a trio of federal agencies that created the district’s eight water parks remained with each of the district’s 15 member counties “into perpetuity.” Pat Harrison calculated that Lamar County’s “contractual obligations,” including perpetual support of the parks, would run about $18.6 million. Instead, Lamar County will pay about $337,000 and leave the district. “We didn’t want to sue our member counties if they wanted to withdraw,” Davis said. “There are certain steps they had to follow (to withdraw), and the counties followed those steps according to the law.” Mississippi has three water development districts, all established in the 1960s to protect and conserve water resources and promote economic development. The districts are supported by member counties. The third district is the Tombigbee River Valley Water Management District in north Mississippi. The Pat Harrison dispute began when Lamar County informed Pat Harrison in a Sept. 6, 2011, letter that it intended to leave the waterway district by following the dictates of legislation enacted in 1995. State law mandated an independent audit be done to determine a county’s share of any “bonds, contractual obligations, and any other indebtedness or liabilities of the district that are outstanding on the date of such county’s withdrawal.” Chancery Judge Hollis McGehee in September 2012 ruled Lamar County could leave Pat Harrison. In 2013, McGehee ruled against the Pat Harrison’s calculation that Lamar County’s “contractual obligations,” including perpetual support of the parks, would run about $18.6 million. The Supreme Court’s decision could decide the obligations of two other counties — Jasper and Forrest — that voted to sever their association with the Pat Harrison district. Jasper County officials say they were paying $168,000 a year to the district. Forrest County was paying about $460,000 a year. In a dissenting opinion joined by three other colleagues, Justice Josiah Dennis Coleman said the majority erred by not considering whether future financial obligations were essential to the district’s continued existence. Coleman said the contractual obligations do not cease with Lamar County’s withdrawal. “Rather, their yoke survives only to be shouldered by the remaining members of the district. Should (Thursday’s) result lead to a mass exodus, woe to the last county standing that would alone bear the contractual obligations,” Coleman said. Presiding Justice Jess Dickinson wrote in the majority opinion that nothing in the statute “obligates a county, after withdrawal, to pay the district’s future maintenance and operational obligations that have not been incurred and are not outstanding on withdrawal.” “If a withdrawing county must pay to perpetually operate and maintain the District’s water parks and other structures, why would the Legislature have created a withdrawal statute in the first place?” Dickinson wrote. Pearl River’s Davis said the Legislature has helped out the district by promising $600,000 over three years while “we get more time to find alternative sources of funding to operate after 2017.” The other counties that left the Pearl River district were Attala, Lawrence and Copiah.

Don’t confirm Loretta Lynch An unanswerable question hangs over the nomination of Loretta Lynch for attorney general: Is Republican opposition to her more racist or sexist? As an African-American woman, Lynch represents a gloriously double-barreled opportunity to accuse Republicans of sub-rosa hatreds. The political benefit of what feminists call intersectionality – membership in two or more historically oppressed groups – is not having to choose which accusation of bias to make. Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin went to the Senate floor to effectively accuse Republicans of racism in the nomination fight, even though Hillary Clinton had tweeted that it is sexism and the head of Lynch’s sorority has said it is both. Synergy! For his part, Durbin went straight to a Rosa Parks metaphor – because getting humiliated in segregation-era Montgomery, Ala., is just like being a highpowered lawyer whose confirmation vote has been delayed in the Senate. He thundered that “the first African-American woman nominated to be attorney general is asked to sit in the back of the bus when it comes to the Senate calen-
dar.” If the N A A C P ever gives an award for Best Strained Rich M e t a p h o r Lowry in the Cause of CallNational ing SomeReview one a Racist, Durbin should be a nominee. Clinton tweeted that the delayed vote is an offense “against women.” As if there aren’t liberal women and conservative women, just a bloc of undifferentiated women who care only about the gender of nominees for high office. All of this is transparently in bad faith. Durbin may be many things, but he is not stupid enough to believe that Republicans oppose Lynch because she’s a black woman. Did Durbin vote against the confirmation of Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state because she’s a black woman? On his own stilted terms, he wanted to relegate Rice to drinking from the segregated water fountain of failed secretary-of-state nominations, and used the snarling police dog of his “nay” vote
to try to do it. It’s hard to believe this could still happen in 2005 America, but it almost did. The sleight of hand of Lynch’s proponents is to pretend that her nomination is uncontroversial. Durbin says there is no “substantive reason to stop this nomination.” MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow said the opposition to her is “inexplicable” on the merits. This is demonstrably false. As Republicans have made plain, the issue is her belief that President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty is lawful. This isn’t a mere matter of policy or personal preference. It implicates her view of the constitutional order that she will be sworn to uphold. Whether she thinks the executive branch can in effect write laws on its own is a threshold question. Her answer in the affirmative should be disqualifying, no matter how impressive her career has otherwise been, or how historic her confirmation would be. The Senate shouldn’t confirm any attorney-general nominee, from whatever party, of whatever race, ethnicity or gender identification, who believes the president can rewrite
the nation’s laws at will. It doesn’t matter if the nominee graduated at the top of the class at Harvard Law School, or barely scraped by at the University of La Verne College of Law. If the self-styled world’s greatest deliberative body can’t enforce this basic standard, and protect its most elementary constitutional prerogative, who will? Of course, if Lynch is blocked, Attorney General Eric Holder will stay in place. But there’s no helping that. The principle that would be upheld is the Senate not giving its imprimatur to an attorney general who thinks its lawmaking role is optional. All of this is probably academic, because Republicans will eventually hold a vote on Lynch, and they almost certainly don’t have the stomach to defeat her, in part because they fear the dreaded accusation of racism-sexism – or is it sexism-racism? The congressional fight against Obama’s executive amnesty will fizzle out, and Republicans can move on to something else, sure to bring its own charges of an implicit hatred, perhaps more than one.
Sunshine Week should turn up the heat This week is “Sunshine Week,” a nonprofit, nonpartisan national initiative launched by the American Society of News Editors to “promote a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information.” What better time to focus on a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act that allows the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) to designate companies it deems “too big to fail” as “systematically important financial institutions” (SIFIs) subject to enhanced supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve. It has done so with MetLife, the largest life insurance company in the U.S. MetLife rejects the SIFI designation, maintaining that it is a pillar of stability that, in the words of a source familiar with the controversy, “remained strong even during the 2008-09 financial meltdown – during which time it neither requested nor received any bailout money.” MetLife, unable to get any meaningful information from FSOC about why it received the designation and about the specific criteria used to determine it, has filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, “challenging a final decision by the Council to designate MetLife as a nonbank systemically important financial institution (’nonbank

SIFI’).” The company asks the court to set aside the designation and enjoin Cal FSOC from Thomas taking any further acColumnist tion until standards for designating non-banking companies as SIFIs have been established and made public. Unfortunately, the FSOC does not have to give meaningful reasons for its decisions. Dodd-Frank exempts FSOC from the Federal Advisory Committee Act, better known as the federal “open meetings” law, which is why the sun needs to shine in. The Senate Banking Committee is expected to review the FSOC’s decision-making procedures as part of hearings scheduled for March 24, according to the Wall Street Journal, for the purpose of taking “a look at accountability and transparency” issues surrounding FSOC. MetLife reports its financial health is good and that the FSOC “failed to understand, or give meaningful weight to, the comprehensive state insurance regulatory regime that supervises every aspect of MetLife’s insurance business.” Journalists preoccupied with Hillary Clinton’s secret email account and
her reluctance to answer questions about it should also be concerned with the refusal of the FSOC to provide MetLife with information that caused the government agency to issue its order. MetLife says it has been denied its “due process” guaranteed by the Constitution. The company is also raising separation of powers arguments because of the multiple roles FSOC members play, serving as rule-maker, investigator, prosecutor, judge and jury. The company brief states: “FSOC members perform a legislative function by adopting rules that purport to set the standards used to determine whether to designate companies (as SIFIs); an executive and prosecutorial function by proposing companies to be subject to the standards they have promulgated, investigating those companies, and building the case for designation; and an adjudicative function by issuing final decisions adopting their own proposed rationales. Not only is each of these functions performed by the same body, they are also performed by the same individuals, without even a separation into offices or divisions.” MetLife says all of its requests under the Freedom of Information Act have either been ignored or denied by FSOC. Under any definition of fairness,

much less equality under the law, a company should have the right to know why it is being regulated by a federal agency. In this case, MetLife appealed the ruling, but the FSOC rejected the appeal. After promising to be the most transparent administration in history, the Obama administration increasingly behaves like a dictatorship in matters it wants to keep from the prying eyes of its own citizens. Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the Freedom of Information Act, passed by Congress and signed by President Lyndon Johnson. Open government ensures that government better serves the people. Closed government leads to citizens becoming servants of the state. Transparency laws mean nothing if they are not respected, obeyed and enforced. Federal agencies that ignore the law should be held accountable. The MetLife lawsuit offers one opportunity to put big government back on its side of the Constitution. The Senate Banking Committee’s hearing on FSOC closeddoor meetings offers another. “Sunshine Week” is a good time to turn up the heat.

Probe following rape story to be released CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Police plan to release the findings of an investigation prompted by a Rolling Stone article about an alleged gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity house. Charlottesville police have scheduled a news conference for 2 p.m. Monday. A notice posted on the police department’s website says officials won’t answer any questions before the news conference. The November 2014 article described an alleged gang rape at a fraternity house in 2012. Rolling Stone has since apologized for the article and noted discrepancies. The police department said in January that investigators had been unable to confirm that a gang rape occurred at the fraternity house. However, a police spokesman emphasized at the time that did not mean an assault did not occur.
Olympic bid group seeking supporters BOSTON -- Organizers of Boston’s effort to host the 2024 Olympics said Monday they would not submit a final bid to for the games unless a majority of Massachusetts residents were supportive. Boston 2024 ran a full-page ad in The Boston Globe and the Boston Herald on Monday, laying out what the privately-funded group
said were the 10 principles that form the basis of the city’s bid. Among them were using the Olympics as a catalyst to improve public transportation, create tens of thousands of jobs and spur development of affordable housing, according to the ad. Other tenets included a multi-layered insurance plan to “protect the city and state from financial risk.” One recent poll conducted for WBUR-FM of more than 500 Bostonarea residents showed 36 percent supported the Olympic bid, while 52 percent were opposed and the rest undecided. “We believe the 2024 Games fit into the longterm planning goals of the city, and will create jobs, economic development and affordable housing,” Richard Davey, the organization’s chief executive, said in a statement Monday. “We also want to be clear that we are only in this if we have a majority of the people in Massachusetts behind us prior to submitting our final bid to the International Olympic Committee.”
Lawyers question computer testimony BOSTON — A lawyer for the Boston Marathon bomber is aggressively questioning an FBI computer expert about extremist material found on Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s computer. Tsarnaev’s lawyer cross-examined FBI agent Kevin Swindon
on Monday about his testimony last week, attempting to show that much of the activity on Tsarnaev’s computer was on Facebook and other social media sites. Kevin Swindon testified Thursday that Tsarnaev had Inspire magazine, an al-Qaida publication, and other radical materials on his computer. Swindon acknowledged Monday that Tsarnaev’s brother, Tamerlan, had encryption software on his computer, but Dzhokhar’s didn’t. Tsarnaev’s lawyers have admitted he participated in the bombings but say Tamerlan was the mastermind.
Izod Center hosts final act, closes EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New Jersey’s Izod Center has hosted its last act after 34 years. The sports and entertainment arena, which opened in 1981, closed Sunday after the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus concluded its run. The end began when the Prudential Arena opened seven years ago and the Nets and Devils decided to play in Newark. It was an emotional day for the Izod Center’s 1,700 workers. Veronica Jackson of Jersey City started as an usher in 1981 when Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band opened the arena. She tells The Record newspaper it is “like part of you is dying.”

Autopsy results delay hanging probe PORT GIBSON -- The FBI is consulting with its behavioral analysis unit as it continues investigating the hanging death of a black man in Mississippi. Jason Pack, supervisory special agent for the FBI’s Jackson, Mississippi, office, said Monday that it could be days before investigators receive an autopsy report for 54-year-old Otis Byrd. The report is expected to show whether Byrd was killed or committed suicide. Officials have said 30 state, local and federal investigators are on the case. Meanwhile, about a dozen people gathered Monday in downtown Port Gibson to show support for Byrd’s family. They called on authorities to thoroughly investigate the death.
Man killed by train
ning to kill a guard during a violent federal prison riot at Adams County Correctional Center will be tried June 8 in U.S. District Court in Jackson. The Natchez Democrat reports the trial had been scheduled for Monday but defense attorneys for Hector Miguel Diaz-Osuna, Ernesto Granados and Juan Geraldo Arredondo asked for more time to prepare. Prison guard Catlin Carithers was killed and 20 people were injured in the May 20, 2012, riot at the privately-run Adams County Correctional Facility in Natchez, which holds immigrants convicted of crimes while being in the U.S. illegally. The prison holds nearly 2,500 inmates, most of them convicted on charges of coming back to the U.S. after deportation for being in the country illegally. The prison is operates by Nashville, Tennessee-based Corrections Corporation of America, one of the nation’s largest private
prison companies. Several other inmates have been charged — or convicted — with participating in the riot, including Jesus BeltranRodriguez and Ricardo GonzalezPorras.
Officials seek 5th state pathologist BILOXI -- Coastal Mississippi authorities say the state should hire a pathologist for their area. They had been paying a private pathologist, but he died in early January. Now they must send bodies to the state medical examiner’s office in Jackson. The four pathologists there must perform more than 1,400 autopsies a year. Joel Smith, district attorney for Harrison, Hancock and Stone counties, says that means investigators have to spend time getting the bodies there. He says tells The Sun Herald that often means losing crucial hours soon after a homicide.
GULFPORT -- Gulfport police say a train hit and killed a 27-year-old man while the man was crossing the railroad tracks on 20th Avenue on foot. The Sun Herald reports police received a call about 7:20 p.m. Sunday. Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove said they had identified the young man, but would not release his name until his family had been notified.

Durst gets no bond The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — A magistrate on Monday ordered millionaire Robert Durst held without bond on weapons charges in Louisiana and said the man accused of killing his friend 15 years ago in California was both a flight risk and a danger to others. Durst, 71, was seated beside his lawyers, his hands shackled to his sides in padded cuffs. He has been in a prison’s mental health unit for nearly a week. Jail officials have called him a suicide risk. Magistrate Harry Cantrell set a preliminary hearing in the weapons case for April 2. Durst is accused of killing Susan Berman in 2000, but his lawyers say his arrest was illegal and orchestrated to coincide with the finale of an HBO series about his links to three killings. He was arrested March 14 at a New Orleans hotel on both the weapons charges and on the Los Angeles County warrant accusing him of murder. On Monday, defense attorney Dick DeGuerin said he never expected the magistrate to set bond. “We were able to get a lot of information we didn’t have before,” DeGuerin said after the hearing. “... I think all in all we had a very good day.” One of the weapons charges alleges that Durst had a .38-caliber revolver; previous felony convictions make that illegal. The other charge alleges he had the weapon and illegal drugs: more than 5 ounces of marijuana. None of Durst’s previous convictions was serious enough to merit the felon in possession charge, his attorneys say. Durst had registered at the J.W. Marriott Hotel under the name Everette Ward, and a search of his hotel room turned up his passport, nearly $43,000 in cash, a gun, and a rubber or latex mask that could cover his head and neck, according to a search warrant for his Houston condo.
The Gospel of Christ As one reads the bible we learn truths that we cannot learn from any other source so read your bible. The gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes and obeys it. Rom. 1:16; Heb 5:8-9. The power is not in the preachers, but in the gospel that is to be preached. When the gospel is preached and obeyed one can become a Christian. When no gospel is preached, there are no Christians. Rom 6 :15-17. The righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel of Christ Jesus is its author “ But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not of man. 12 For I neither received it of man, nor was I taught it- by man-but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” - Gal 1:11-12 Preacher today should be sure that what they preach or teach is the gospel of Christ not some message taken from the internet. Jesus Commanded the apostles to preach the gospel to every Creature in all the world -Mark 16:1516. There are these fundamental fact of the gospel of Christ. - I Cor. 15:1-4. First, Christ died for our sins according to the scripture; Second, he was buried; Third, he arose again the third day according to the scripture. Facts cannot be obeyed, but they can be, and must be believed. We can believe the facts of the gospel. These basic facts were proclaimed for the first time on the first Pentecost after the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. This took place in the city of Jerusalem -Isaiah 2:3. In our search for the truth this is one way of finding the true church. Any church that had its beginning in any other place the Jerusalem, and its time of beginning, any other time than Pentecost , could not be the New Testament church. Jesus said to the apostles just before he was taken up that “Repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” - Luke 24:47 When this gospel is preached, it causes man to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Now, we want to know what we must do to be saved. It is more that just believe “Now when they heard this-gospel preached-, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the other apostles., Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Acts 2:37. These believe were told to “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins...” Acts 2:38 this command came from Jesus Christ. Why refuse?

Having fun researching in old newspaper editions I’ve heard some good comments since we recently started the “25 years ago” history paragraph on the front page. Co-editor Brant is Mark helping me Boehler out with research. Sidetracks We try to include a name with the history piece each day. Beginning in May we are going to add “10 years ago” about local people to replace 150 years ago. There have seen a couple of ironic moments so far in looking back 25 years each day. It was 25 years ago Rosemary Williams got the state’s top award in education outside the ed-
ucator profession. She got the Mississippi Historical Society’s top award 25 years later almost on the same week. Good people keep doing good things no matter what the year may be. The Corinth Warrior basketball team won a state championship 25 years ago. The Warriors returned to the state tourney the same week 25 years later. Thanks to a cold shooting night, history didn’t repeat itself. The bound edition from March 1990 sits on a desk in the newsroom. Its musty smell is from a time before the digital age. I love going through those old editions, getting my hands covered in black ink. I like the Internet and our e-edition, but there is nothing like holding the
news in your hand. I recently enjoyed doing some research in old newspapers. In my successful attempt to help a man writing a book on musical instruments, I found a gold mine about the former Wurlitzer plant in Corinth. Hidden in the back of a special 100th anniversary Civil War edition about the battles of Corinth and Shiloh, I was surprised to find 16 pages about Wurlitzer. Since I have three copies of the souvenir edition, I had one set of pages laminated at Office Pro and I shipped them to the author in Detroit. It appears the electric piano made in Corinth continues to make an impact on music today, although the Wurlitzer plant has been shut down since the 1990s.
I also preserved several of the full page ads. Not sure what I’ll do with them, but I find them so interesting. Listen to these words from 1961 some 54 years ago: ■ The Security Bank -“Only a full service bank can offer every financial service.” ■ Alcorn County Board of Supervisors -- “You can read your future in this map of Alcorn County.” The map shows adequate housing, choice industrial locations, new modern schools, farming, air service, new highways and railroad transportation. The ad boosts the county’s “livestock and dairying have become major factors in the county economy.” ■ Borroum’s Drug Store -- “Serving you for almost
a 100 years; Today we are still following in the footsteps of our forefathers by continuing to provide the most ethical and economical health service to our many friends and customers, who have made our progress possible.” ■ McAmis Drug Co., Inc. -- “For longer than today’s generation can remember, there’s been a drug store on the corner of Fillmore and Cruise Streets ... It’s an old fashion custom to phone at 6-5972 for drug needs.” State John Burress and D. W. Hamrick Jr., “We have been entrusted nearly one-half million times with your prescriptions.” ■ Reid Brothers -Douglas Hammond and Martha Reid Hammond state in the ad, “In 1919 we did all alterations free and we still do in 1961. Our
beautiful free gift wrapping is widely recognized. Our convenient lay-away plan is one of which many of you take advantage. We remain constantly on the alert to give you the season’s newest styles, colors and fabrics.” ■ Berry Hydraulics -“We invite you to visit our great city. We are proud of it and know you will be too.” And lastly, guess what color was used in the McPeter’s Funeral Directors ad over 50 years ago? That’s right. You probably guessed it. Purple.

More Americans turn to tax refund advances for quick cash The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Cashstrapped Americans anxious for tax refunds are increasingly turning to payment advances, prepaid cards or other costly services when getting tax preparation help, according to new federal data raising concerns among regulators about whether consumers are fully informed about the fees. Regulators are looking to increase oversight of preparers amid the rise in “refund anticipation checks,” a type of cash advance especially popular among low-income families who receive the Earned Income Tax Credit, the government’s $65 billion cash benefit program. The advances are being marketed as a way to get fast refunds or defer payment of tax preparation costs.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says some consumers have complaints about refund anticipation checks centered on advertising, quality of service or fees. The bureau is finalizing the first rules on prepaid debit cards, including those for tax refunds, that would require “easy to understand” disclosures upfront about costs and risks. Refund anticipation checks rose to roughly 21.6 million in 2014, up 17 percent from 2011, according to IRS data provided to The Associated Press. About half the purchasers are EITC recipients; roughly 84 percent are low-income, according to the data. Industry analysts project the payment advances and their fees will become more widespread as tax preparers seek to boost revenue.
Currently, refund anticipation checks and prepaid cards make up 10 percent of industry giant H&R Block’s revenue and more than 20 percent of Liberty Tax Service’s, according to earnings reports. Both companies said they are committed to providing consumers with the information they need to make tax-filing decisions, including use of refund anticipation checks. They said the payment advances offer added value, such as convenience. The Internal Revenue Service has been pushing Congress for new authority to regulate the $10.1 billion tax preparation industry after an appeals court last year barred it from requiring tax preparers to undergo background checks and testing. “It’s the wild, wild

West,” said Nina Olson, the IRS’ national taxpayer advocate, describing the current state of the industry. She called the level of risk for abuse in pricing and quality of service unprecedented. The National Association of Tax Professionals supports certification of providers to ensure a minimum level of competency. But the Institute for Justice, which filed the lawsuit against IRS, says new licensing requirements and other oversight aren’t the answer. “We should do more to increase competition, not drive independent tax preparers out of the market,” said Dan Alban, an attorney for the group. The average tax-preparation fee for 2014 returns is $273, up 11 percent from two years ago, according to a survey by
the National Society of Accountants. But there’s wide variation, with fees of $400 or more, according to the National Consumer Law Center. Netran Washington, 40, a materials handler in Cleveland, says he’s been going to a neighborhood tax preparer for four years, eager for a fast refund. Washington readily agreed when asked if he preferred to pay for the tax preparation later. Washington says he was later surprised by a $500 fee that included the cost of a cash advance. Still, he kept going each year until a friend suggested the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, an IRS program providing free tax preparation services to low-income families. The IRS-certified tax preparer found a filing error
that had cost Washington $1,000 in unused tax credits and helped him file an amended return. “It was very upsetting,” Washington said. Four states — California, Maryland, New York and Oregon — require preparers to undergo training. The California attorney general’s office recently requested information from H&R Block about its refund anticipation checks, which range in cost from $34.95 to $59.95; at issue may be whether the fees may be subject to strict truth-inlending laws, the company said in financial filings. H&R Block emphasized that it was a request for information, not a lawsuit. Consumer groups in Colorado and Ohio are pushing proposals to require greater disclosure.

Bonding with funds The conditions certainly were stacked against bond funds last month. February began with a stunning jobs report, one e strong enough to raise expectations that the Federal Reserve would begin raising interest rates. Higher rates are generally scary to bond-fund investors because they knock down the price of existing bonds and make the lower yields of those bonds less attractive. But bond funds were surprisingly popular last month. Investors put $29 billion into taxable bond mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Thats more than the $27 billion that went into all U.S. and foreign-stock funds. It was also the most prolific month for bond-fund investment in more than two years. Several factors are behind the seeming disconnect.
One is that much of th the demand was for high-yield high-yiel bonds funds, which buy bonds issued by companies with weak credit ratings. A strengthening economy would make those issuers less likely to default. iss Another driver was continued investment in target-date funds by retirement savers. Target-date funds take care of how to divvy up a nest egg, and collectively they always keep a big chunk of their assets in bonds. That’s why Vanguard’s Total Bond Market II Index fund had the second-biggest inflows last month among bond funds. Also, interest rates have actually dropped. The yield on the 10-year Treasury is 1.91 percent, for example, down from 2.08 percent at the start of March. The Fed signaled at its last meeting that it may move slowly once it raises rates.
Bounding in Investors poured into bond mutual funds in February, and these were six of the most popular.

Spring sales bellwether
Higher prices?
items, among other factors.
Did the annual spring home-selling season get off to a strong start last month? The government’s latest data on sales of new homes, due out today, should help answer that question. Sales were basically flat in January, slipping 0.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 481,000. That’s a solid 5.3 percent gain from a year earlier when harsh winter weather caused homebuying to stall. Economists anticipate that new home sales slowed in February.
Economists anticipate that a gauge of U.S. consumer prices edged higher last month. That would mark the first monthly gain in the consumer price index since October. Tumbling gasoline prices have helped bring down prices for consumer goods in recent months. The consumer price index fell 0.7 percent in January. Economists predict the Labor Department will report that the index rose 0.2 percent in February.

Mom with breast cancer does not need shielding from life DEAR ABBY: My wife has stage 4 breast cancer. She is only 51, and our most optimistic prognosis is three to four more years. Our children, 15 and 16, understand her disease, but don’t really have a sense of how much longer we all have together. Recently we went out to dinner, and the kids Abigail started talkVan Buren ing about my retirement Dear Abby plans and their college plans. Later that night, my wife told me how sad it was hearing the kids talk about things she knows she will never see. I have been debating whether I should have a talk with the kids and perhaps suggest they avoid subjects that make their mother sad. What do you think? -- NOT TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE DEAR NOT TALKING: Before talking to your children, I think you should talk to your wife. Although your instinct is to protect her, I don’t think you can. Sadness in her situation is normal. I’m sure if you were to ask her if she’d prefer the kids cen-
sor their remarks in front of her, she would tell you she wants to hear everything she can about what they are thinking. When people have a terminal illness, they have a right to be sad when contemplating the things they will be missing -- in your wife’s case it will be seeing her children get married, her grandchildren and more. Let your children express themselves fully with their mother, and if she’s having a bad/sad day, listen and let her unburden herself. A joy shared is twice a joy, and a burden shared is half a burden. DEAR ABBY: As a gift, my boyfriend, “Seth,” gave me a Chihuahua puppy. I like dogs, but have never expressed a desire to have one. In fact, I have repeatedly mentioned my dislike for small dogs and that I wouldn’t have a dog due to my travel schedule for work. I’d have to pay for food, veterinary care, toys, boarding, etc., and the dog would be alone in my apartment all day while I’m at the office. Seth still chose to give me one. When I refused his gift, he yelled and left. My friends think I was rude, and that Seth was sweet for buying me a puppy. I tried explaining to them, but they were
sarcastic and mean about my decision not to accept the dog. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened with Seth. For my birthday he bought me a smartphone, signed me up for a two-year contract and expected me to pay the monthly bill. I refused that, too. Am I wrong? -- SIMPLE GIRL IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DEAR SIMPLE GIRL: You and Seth appear to have a serious disconnect when it comes to communication. Is this the only area of your relationship in which he is tone-deaf? Your boyfriend seems to be the master of the “grand gesture,” with no thought about the responsibilities his generous gifts will impose on the recipient. Because you told him clearly that you dislike small dogs, he should not have forced one on you. In fact, he shouldn’t have given you any living, breathing dependent creature without first having made sure it would be welcomed.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you realize that it would be good to control your thoughts, it’s a realization that signals a very high level of human evolution. So don’t be too hard on yourself if you aren’t able to follow through with it to your satisfaction. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Now that Venus is in your sign, you may find yourself asking more often, “What’s in it for me?” And though it’s a natural question that you’d be a fool not to ask, just be sure to follow it up with, “What’s in it for them?” GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The moon in your sign has you feeing lucky, taking social risks and playing it loose. That’s what makes you so fun to be around. People don’t know what to expect. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s an emotional volume to hit -- a sweet spot that will resonate with your audience. It’s why you don’t feel the need to have strong opinions about
everything. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Avoid trying to make a specific outcome happen, because everyone involved in today’s scenario wants something different. Instead, be open to the natural compromise that is likely to occur with such varied input. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are benefits to being an unofficial member of a group. Once they have accepted you as their own, they also trust you not to leave. So think twice before you endeavor to join. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People generally become security-oriented because of experiences of insecurity they do not wish to repeat. With these types, trust can only be built with consistency over time. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Obsession is rarely a positive state of mind, because the amount of focus that even a healthy obsession requires usually creates an imbalance. But at least obsession helps you
figure out what you lack so you can actively pursue it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re usually in the mood to discover the far corners of the world; however, now you’re more in the mood to discover the far corners of your couch. You need the rest! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The friendships that keep you entertained are worth more than gold. Your favorite people will make no effort to please you. It just happens naturally when they please themselves. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). While familiarity doesn’t always breed contempt, it may breed blindness to the glory of all that you are. It will take an outsider to shake things up by noticing your wonderful qualities. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re a very important person and should be cared for as such. So stop putting off the appointments that keep you feeling attractive, healthy and tended to.

Streaming TV services offer variety of options BY ANICK JESDANUN AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK — Sony jumped into the pay-television business Wednesday with an online package of more than 50 channels starting at $50 a month. It’s the most complete of the Internet-only offerings, but also the most expensive. In the works for more than a year, the PlayStation Vue service could drive more people to drop their traditional cable or satellite TV offerings, especially as Sony touts such benefits as unlimited online storage for recordings. However, the service is initially limited to PlayStation owners in three cities, and it doesn’t include ESPN, HBO and some other popular channels. Cable or satellite packages, excluding promotions, can easily run $70 to $100 a month for hundreds of channels, including ESPN, all the major networks, scores of niche channels and one premium service such as HBO or Showtime. And you can watch shows on TVs throughout your home. Most would-be cord cutters will need to pick and choose from multiple services to cobble together all the shows they watch,
and family members may not be able to watch simultaneously.

3 No. 1 seeds make Sweet 16 The Associated Press
When the NCAA Tournament reaches the Sweet 16, that means there are only 15 games left to decide a national champion. Kentucky needs to win four of those games to become the first undefeated champion since Indiana in 1976. The Wildcats improved to 36-0 — the best start to a season for any team — with a workmanlike win over Cincinnati. Next up in the Midwest Regional semifinal is West Virginia, another team that will come right at Kentucky and try to force turnovers, the Mountaineers’ trademark this season. The East Region changed dramatically entering the
Sweet 16 with top seeds Villanova and Virginia ousted. It’s the first time since 2004 — and eighth time ever — that the top two teams from one region failed to advance to the second week. The Atlantic Coast Conference and Pac-12 entered the round of 32 as the only leagues with three or more teams not to lose a game. The ACC is 11-1 with Virginia’s loss to Michigan State the only blemish. The Pac-12 is 7-1 following Oregon’s loss to top-seeded Wisconsin. Here are some story lines to watch as the Sweet 16 approaches: Rematch replays: Two of the eight games in the regional semifinals will be rematch-
es from the regular season. UCLA and Gonzaga met on Dec. 13 in Los Angeles, and the then-No. 9 Zags came away with an 87-74 victory. Kyle Wiltjer scored 24 points and Byron Wesley added 20 points for Gonzaga. Bryce Alford scored 23 points and Isaac Hamilton added 18 for UCLA. Louisville and North Carolina State met in an ACC game on Feb. 14 and the visiting Wolfpack prevailed 74-65. Cat Barber had 21 points for N.C. State, which held Louisville to 33 percent shooting and outscored the Cardinals 32-16 in the paint. “We got dominated at all five positions tonight,” Louisville coach Rick Pitino said
then. Chris Jones, who was dismissed from the program last month, scored 20 points and Wayne Blackshear added 19 for then-No. 9 Louisville. Terry Rozier and Montrezl Harrell, Louisville’s leading scorers, combined for 14 points. Sweet seeds: The West Regional will be the toughest of the four in the Sweet 16 if you believe the seeds. Top-seeded Wisconsin will play No. 4 North Carolina and second-seeded Arizona will face No. 6 Xavier in Los Angeles, a total of 13 when the seedings are added. The Midwest is second with 16 (No. 1 Kentucky vs. No. 5 Please see SWEET 16 | 13A

NFL suspending TV blackouts for upcoming season The Associated Press
PHOENIX — The NFL will not block any games from local television during the 2015 season. The league said Monday that team owners voted for a one-year suspension of the long-standing blackout policy for the preseason and regular season. There were no blackouts last season, because the minimum number of tickets was sold for every game, and the league had only two blackouts in 2013. Still, the experiment is a huge step for the NFL, whose blackout policy dates back decades. In the 1970s, half of NFL games were blocked from local TV because the games did not sell enough tickets. Some teams — Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego — have struggled to avoid blackouts, and the league is taking a bit of a gamble for 2015. The policy stipulates that a home game must be sold out 72 hours in advance of kickoff in order to be televised locally. Often, that deadline is extended to ensure sellouts if a club believes it can meet the criteria for lifting the blackout. The league’s definition of a full house is not selling every seat but a large percentage of them, depending on the venue. The policy does not apply to suites or club seats. Blackouts have been a part of the NFL since the 1950s, when team owners believed showing local games would damage attendance. In 1973, the current league policy was put into action. The league said it will evaluate the impact of the suspension after the season. “The blackout issue has been one of those seen as a negative about the league,” said Marc Ganis, president of Chicago-based consulting firm SportsCorp and a close observer of the NFL. “The FCC says there shouldn’t be blackouts and the league says it would affect attendance. This is the perfect time, with no blackouts from last year, to test whether a no-blackout rule adversely affects the attendance at games.” Last September, the FCC repealed its sport blackout rules, denying reinforcement of the league’s blackout policy. But the ruling did not affect the NFL’s ability to maintain the blackout policy through the existing broadcast contracts. NFL blackouts have declined dramatically in recent years, dipping to 40 percent in the 1980s, 31 percent in the 1990s, 8 percent in the 2000s, and 5 percent in this decade, according to league figures. Part of that decrease is due to the league redefining what is a sellout, lowering the required number of tickets sold.

Duke ends Mississippi State women’s season The Associated Press
DURHAM, N.C. — No Mississippi State team has won more games than these Bulldogs did. That’s little consolation for the Bulldogs that wanted at least one more victory. They fell to Duke 64-56 on Sunday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, bringing an end to one of the best seasons in school history. Victoria Vivians scored 15
points and Kendra Grant added 12 for the fifth-seeded Bulldogs (27-7). Morgan William had 11 points and Dominique Dillingham finished with 10 rebounds for Mississippi State. The Bulldogs set school records for wins both overall and in Southeastern Conference play, but were denied their second Sweet 16 berth. “We have a lot to build on,” Dillingham said. Mississippi State had one
last chance, clawing within 58-52 on William’s free throw with 1:21 left. But Dillingham was called for a blocking foul with 1:02 left, and coach Vic Schaefer received a technical foul for arguing that Duke’s Rebecca Greenwell should have been whistled for using her forearm, and had to be restrained by two of his assistants. “I’m going to fight for her every day and twice on Sun-
day,” Schaefer said of Dillingham. After Greenwell hit 3 of 4 free throws, Mississippi State never got closer than eight in the final minute. Freshman Azura Stevens had 22 points and 10 rebounds for Duke. Elizabeth Williams scored 12 points in her Cameron Indoor Stadium finale and Greenwell added 17 with three 3-pointers for Please see SEASON | 13A
Rebuilding Rebels show progress in series win The Associated Press
Don’t be fooled by Mississippi’s 13-10 start. Coach Mike Bianco expected growing pains after losing key pieces from his College World Series team and starting the season with one of the toughest schedules in the country. The Rebels took a big step this past weekend by winning two of three against a Florida
team that was ranked No. 1 by D1Baseball.com. The week before the Rebels lost two of three at LSU, which now holds down the No. 1 spot in two major polls. The defending SEC West champ Rebels are tied for third in the division at 3-3. LSU and Florida are among the best teams in the league, and the country, and even
though Bianco isn’t satisfied going .500 against them, he’ll take it under the circumstances. “That team that went to Omaha last year, our lineup was full of juniors and seniors who were in the program for years,” Bianco said Monday. “Contrary to this year, we got off to a tremendous start and got a lot of confidence going. When you
look at this year’s team, most of the returnees are freshmen and sophomores. My point in saying that about the youth is that we really like these guys.” The Rebels lost their top four hitters, 10-game winner Chris Ellis and closer Josh Laxer.

Jones: Volunteers having to get creative with practice The Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee opens spring practice Tuesday with a group that bears only a passing resemblance to the squad that will take the field this fall. Injuries and transfers have left Tennessee thin at several positions, particularly running back and the defensive line. The list of nine players sitting out spring practice is headlined by defensive end
Derek Barnett and defensive end/linebacker Curt Maggitt, who are recovering from shoulder injuries after combining for 21 sacks last season. “We’re going to be forced to be creative in the way we practice,” Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. Other players sitting out spring practice include wide receiver Jason Croom, tight end Alex Ellis, offensive guard Marcus Jack-
son, linebackers Jakob Johnson and Darrin Kirkland, defensive tackle Danny O’Brien and defensive end Kyle Phillips. Running back Jalen Hurd won’t have any contact work, and offensive lineman Chance Hall will have limited reps. Linebacker Dillon Bates and wide receiver Marquez North will be evaluated each day to see how much they can do as they come back from season-
ending injuries, though Jones indicated Bates is “full go” for Tuesday’s practice. Tennessee also had about a dozen players depart with eligibility remaining since the end of the 2014 regular season, with most transferring and one (defensive lineman Michael Sawyers) getting dismissed from the team.

West Virginia and No. 3 Notre Dame vs. No. 7 Wichita State), while the South is next with 19 (No. 1 Duke vs. No. 5 Utah and No. 2 Gonzaga vs. No. 11 UCLA). The last of the regionals is the East where third-seeded Oklahoma meets No. 7 Michigan State and No. 4 Louisville faces eighthseeded North Carolina State, a total of 22. Special K: When the coaches shake hands before the Duke-Utah Sweet 16 game, it will be between two men with a lot in common. Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Utah’s Larry Krystkowiak probably lead the NCAA in name typos. “I don’t know how many times two Polish coaches will go against
one another, where both of us are called Coach K, but he’s a good friend,” Krzyzewski said of Krystkowiak. “I had him on my Sirius XM show about a month ago and, boy, he was really good — really good.” Sparty’s party: Michigan State under Tom Izzo has become as familiar in the Sweet 16 as the guys in a school band wearing enough face paint to cover a garage. The Spartans have reached the regional semifinals for the seventh time in the last eight years. They will face Oklahoma in Syracuse, New York. Izzo has a 13-1 record in games in the round of 32. He was surprised a bit that this team won its second game to move on.

fourth-seeded Duke (2310). The Blue Devils shot 52 percent, used a timely 26-5 run to build a 15-point lead and held on to earn a spot in the round of 16. They will play the PrincetonMaryland winner on Saturday in the Spokane Region semifinals. Ka’lia Johnson added 10 points for Duke, which had reached the tournament’s second weekend in four straight years before DePaul came here last year and knocked the Blue Devils out in the second round. It looked like it might happen again when
Martha Alwal put Mississippi State up 37-31 with a banked-in jumper with just under 16 minutes left. That’s when Duke took over. Greenwell started the decisive run with a straightaway 3-pointer, and Duke reeled off 12 straight points during the run, going up 57-42 on Williams’ layup in the post with 5? minutes left. It was hard to figure out which team was the true favorite: Duke held the better seed and had home-court advantage, but Mississippi State was ranked 12th in the final AP Top 25 — four spots better than the Blue Devils.

tors are out for the season because of Tommy John surgery. Two freshmen, left fielder Kyle Watson and third baseman Will Golsan, each are batting .300 at the top of the order. Another freshman, Tate Blackman, is playing second. The team’s anchor is senior first baseman Sikes Orvis, who batted .421 with three doubles, two home runs and nine RBIs in the first two SEC series. The Rebels are set with Nos. 1 and 2 starters Christian Trent (41, 3.11 ERA) and Brady Bramlett (3-1, 1.54). The biggest issue, Bianco said, is locking down a No. 3 starter. A look around the nation: Poll positions: LSU (21-3) won its road series against Arkansas
and is No. 1 in the Baseball America poll for the third straight week. Collegiate Baseball newspaper’s poll is topped by Texas A&M (24-1), which had its season-opening win streak end Sunday at Alabama. Bears golden: California, picked eighth out of 11 baseball schools in the Pac-12, has won its first two conference series and is tied with UCLA for first place. The Bears (18-5) got a big weekend from third baseman Lucas Erceg, who homered in all three games of a sweep at Washington. Cavalier concerns: Virginia (14-7), the national runner-up in 2014, has lost six of eight and is last in the ACC’s Coastal Division at 3-6. The Cavaliers are batting just .263, and they’re coming off their first home conference series loss since 2012.

Louisville Slugger maker announces deal The Associated Press
Over a century of family ownership of Louisville Slugger bats is going ... going ... nearly gone. The company that makes the iconic bats gripped by generations of ballplayers — from Babe Ruth to David Wright — announced a deal Monday to sell its Louisville Slugger brand to rival Wilson Sporting Goods Co. for $70 million. For 131 years, the family behind Hillerich & Bradsby Co. has supplied bats for games from the sandlots to the big leagues. H&B CEO John A. Hillerich IV said keeping the bat business in family hands had been a dinnertime topic for years. But as the competition’s lineup grew in recent years, the
family became willing to listen to offers to acquire the brand. “It’s always been the family’s desire to keep the brand independent and family owned,” Hillerich told reporters. “It’s worked extremely well for 131 years. “But we’ve seen things change and we had to make a very tough decision. We’d rather the brand go on and have somebody else own it than potentially put it in jeopardy by keeping it in the family.” Hillerich is the greatgrandson of John A. “Bud” Hillerich, who churned out the first Louisville Slugger bat in 1884 for a renowned baseball player in his day, Pete Browning. Under terms of the agreement, H&B will continue
to manufacture Louisville Slugger wood bats at its factory in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. “The guys down on the floor today are going to be the guys making the bats tomorrow and a year from now and a decade from now,” Hillerich said. But sale of the brand will cost 52 H&B workers their jobs, out of a workforce numbering about 270, Hillerich said. The remaining employees will work either for H&B or Wilson. Louisville Slugger will remain an independent brand once the deal is completed, said Mike Dowse, president of Wilson Sporting Goods. That means the Louisville Slugger bats will still carry the brand’s recognizable oval logo. Wilson’s deal to
acquire the global brand, sales and innovation rights of Louisville Slugger still requires approval by H&B shareholders. Wilson Sporting Goods is a division of Finnish sports equipment maker Amer Sports Corp. The company said it expects the deal to be completed in the second quarter. The sale includes the brand’s aluminum and composite bats, as well as Louisville Slugger lines of fielding and batting gloves, protective gear, and equipment bags. About half of all current major league players swing Louisville Slugger bats, according to H&B. The company said it has churned out more than 100 million bats in its history.
also has only five healthy defensive linemen this spring. “Not only does that hurt your development as a defense, but it really sets back your development as an offense in terms of our offensive line and being able to play football, play situational football and do the things that it takes to really develop an identity and develop a football team in the spring,” Jones said. Jones has altered his
spring practice format to deal with his lack of players. Tennessee has scheduled Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday as its practice days. On those days, the injured players will just have weight training. But on days when the rest of the team is watching film and lifting weights, Jones said the injured players will have walk-throughs and do “different things to try to simulate the mental
repetitions, the mental effort, the mental intensity in the physical reps that they’re allowed to do.” Even with the lack of healthy players, Tennessee still enters spring with plenty of optimism after ending a string of four straight losing seasons last year. The Vols finished 7-6 last year by winning four of their last five games, including a 45-28 TaxSlayer Bowl victory over Iowa.
VOLS CONTINUED FROM 12A
jected starters, their absences significantly hinder Tennessee’s depth, at least until the injured players return and the majority of the Volunteers’ heralded recruiting class arrives on campus. Hurd’s injury leaves junior-college transfer Alvin Kamara as Tennessee’s only completely healthy scholarship running back. Tennessee

Alleged IS hackers publish troop info The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon said Monday it is notifying 100 military members that their names and addresses were posted on the Internet by a group calling itself the Islamic State Hacking Division. The group said it was posting the information, including photos of the individuals, to encourage Muslims in the United States to kill the military members. A Pentagon spokesman, Col. Steve Warren, said there is no indication that the information was obtained through a government data breach. He said it could have been gathered from public records and by searching social media accounts. Service members have been reminded to heed normal security

precautions, including password protection, in using social media, he said. Another defense official said there is no indication yet of a specific security threat to any of the 100 individuals. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss on the record a matter under investigation. Warren said that at least one of the individuals on the list is no longer in the military. Warren said it’s not clear whether the group that posted the information is actually related to the Islamic State group whose fighters, buildings and military positions in Iraq and Syria have been bombed by U.S. and coalition aircraft.

Battle sport Airsoft gaining popularity BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
A new sport is taking the Crossroads area by storm. What could be called paint balling without the pain, Airsoft is a battle sport where opponents fire biodegradable, plastic pellets from replica firearms. Groups of people, as few as two and as many as 12, often meet for capture-the-flag type skirmishes in backyards or rural fields. “It’s a very different sport,” said avid Airsoft player Jacob Littlejohn. “Most people don’t realize how big it’s gotten, but there are thousands of people who play this sport. I would think it has just about outgrew paint ball in some areas.” Airsoft began in Japan in the 1980s as a recreational sport. Airsoft quickly grew into Europe, catching a lot of bad publicity for how closely the weapons emulate real guns. There have been dozens of incidents, some fatal, involving law enforcement who confused fake Airsoft guns for the real thing. Airsoft guns are manufactured with an orange tip which is supposed to signify that it isn’t a real firearm. Some hardcore players often spray paint the orange tip in order to enhance realism in the sport. “Locally, we have never had a problem as far as I know,” said Corinth Police Chief Ralph Dance. “All of my officers are well aware of the differences between a real gun and an Airsoft gun.” Dance said his department actually uses Airsoft guns in training exercises. “The department owns six to ten Airsoft guns. It’s just so much cheaper,” Dance added. “A lot of police forces around the country are using them now.” Dance said his department owns only Airsoft pistols, but most diehard players own a small arsenal of replica hand guns and assault rifles. Littlejohn and Alexander Roach get together with friends on most weekends and host Airsoft battles on family land in Michie, Tenn. On a recent Sunday, both players were teaching two newcomers the sport and the veterans had them engage in a game of battle. “This is really a stress reliever for me,” said Littlejohn, a 20-year-old UT Martin student. “It’s my escape.” Both Adamsville High School graduates, Littlejohn credits Roach for introducing him to the sport. “Alex is all about Airsoft — they don’t call him ‘Airsoft Al’ for nothing,” Littlejohn said. Also known as “The Wolf” on the battlefield, Roach is a walking encyclopedia for the sport. “I’m a nerd when it comes to this stuff,” he

said. “I love the technology of the weapons, and I’m constantly trying to learn about the latest and greatest in Airsoft.” Now 20, Roach first learned about the sport when he was 10 years old. “My dad is in the military, and I would go with him to the local National Guard Armory when I was young,” Roach said. “I learned about Airsoft from some of my dad’s Army friends. After I went to my first battle, I was hooked.” Roach also enjoys the military tactics often used in Airsoft. “My dad has helped me with a lot of the tactical stuff, even though he isn’t a huge fan of Airsoft in general for the safety of it all,” added Roach. Safety is very impor-
“My dad is in the military, and I would go with him to the local National Guard Armory when I was young. I learned about Airsoft from some of my dad’s Army friends. After I went to my first battle, I was hooked.” Alexander Roach Airsoft enthusiast tant, said both players. Protective eye gear and protective clothing must be worn during game play, and guns are not be fired at a person in close range. Littlejohn said there can be pain involved in the sport — he accidentally shot himself in the leg during one of his first
battles. “When a person gets shot with a Airsoft gun, it normally stings really bad for about a minute,” he said. “It’s kinda like a bee sting.” Maturity is an important part of the sport, as well. “It definitely has its dangerous qualities,” said
Roach. “It’s not a kids’ sport — it takes a certain about of maturity. We’re not out to actually hurt anyone. As long as the players are responsible, this can be a safe, fun and inexpensive sport for anybody.” Airsoft guns and accessories can be purchased at local retailers. Wal-Mart Supercenter and Lonnie’s Sporting Goods both carry a wide selection. “Lower end guns start as cheap as $10, while high end guns are $450. Most of the guns run on battery packs, while others are Co2 gas powered,” said Roach. “A person should expect to spend around $50 to $100 on decent gun.” Ammunition is fairly inexpensive as well. According to Littlejohn,
10,000 6 millimeter pellets cost around $18. There are also accessories that make the guns look better, sound better and fire straighter, longer and faster. Like Roach, many people play Airsoft because of its realism to the military. “I was in a accident when I was younger that prevents me from joining the Army,” Roach said. “This is the closest I’ll ever get.” Dressed in full body camo gear, Roach runs around the battlefield watching his opponents every move. “It takes a special kind of person to play this, but us diehards are in it for one reason — real life military simulations,” he added. “I love it.” “Hooah!”
Airsoft weapons, above, are available in various styles and are available at local retailers. Orange tips are required to separate Airsoft from real weapons. Alexander Roach and friend Jacob Littlejohn fix an Airsoft rifle before the battle begins, left.

10 Tips for Perfect Grilling To help you get the perfect steaks every time, follow these simple tips from the experts at Omaha Steaks: 1. Clean and preheat grill on high. 2. Lightly oil everything before putting it on the grill. This helps the searing process and prevents sticking. 3. Season food before grilling. 4. Sear the outside of steaks when grilling. This helps with the flavor and juiciness. 5. Use tongs or a spatula to turn meat on the grill. Using a fork can damage the meat. 6. Cover grill as much as possible during the grilling process. This helps to lock in the grilled flavor and will help prevent flare-ups. 7. Keep a spray bottle with water handy to douse any unexpected flare-ups. 8. Use the 60/40 grilling method. Grill for 60 percent of the time on the first side, then grill 40 percent of the time after turning over the food. This will make sure your food is evenly cooked. 9. Place cooked food on a clean plate. Never place cooked food on the plate you used to transport the raw food to the grill without thoroughly washing it first. 10. Allow foods to “rest” for 5 minutes between cooking and eating. This will help them retain moisture when you cut into them.

The story of Confederate Maj. William E. Burnet You can’t tell the story of the Battle of Corinth without describing the epic fight for the little fort known as Battery Robinett. I’ve written before about Lt. Henry C. Robinett and another article about how some of Robinett’s men captured the cannon that now Tom sits in the Parson lobby of the InterprePark Ranger tive Center. Today’s story is about the man that directed the Confederate bombardment of Battery Robinett and his strange connection to the men who defended it. William Estey Burnet was born in 1833 in Mexican Texas. There was no town at the time but the family home was located near the modern community of Lynchburg, 20 miles east of Houston. William’s father was David G. Burnet, and you’d have to go a long way to find a man so deeply involved in the early politics of Texas. Not only was he one of the earliest landowners and politicians, in 1836 the New Jersey born lawyer was appointed the interim President of Texas and later served as vicepresident and secretary of state to the young republic. Young William divided his time between “Oakland� his father’s Texas plantation and “Beechwood� the Cincinnati home of his uncle. He attended school at the Kentucky Military Institute and graduated in 1855. For the next year and a half William taught school at the Texas Military Institute but he soon decided on the life of a
soldier. KMI, whose later alumni included actors Jim Backus, Victor Mature, and Fred Willard, may not have been as prestigious as West Point but it proved worthy enough for William to receive an appointment as 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army. He was assigned to Company C of the 1st Infantry. William spent most of his time in northwestern Texas and western Indian Territory (Oklahoma). His duties were mostly involved with the protection of Indians who had come west on the Trail of Tears and their subsequent forced relocation to Indian Territory. There were clashes with Texans under John R. Baylor who didn’t like the eastern Indians, and the hostile Comanche who didn’t like anybody. He frequently wrote home to his parents and one of his first letters spoke of a fight with the Comanche in October, 1858. “Our loss was considerable,� he confessed and detailed the death of five men and the wounding of nine others. One of the wounded was “Major Van Dorn who was desperately wounded by an arrow, which passed through the lower part of his body, just above the belt and another struck his wrist and came out at the elbow making a very severe wound.� William also described the “very severe wound of Mr. Ross, who was shot in the shoulder by a rifle ball.� Mr. Ross was Lawrence “Sul� Ross, a future governor of Texas and a brigade commander under Van Dorn at the Battle of Corinth. The pre-war army was a very small world. In 1859 William wrote
to his father about the escalation of the FrancoAustrian War and the likelihood that all of Europe and even the United States would be drawn into the conflict. “I believe it would be the best thing that could take place for us – it would give our people something to think about, besides slavery, southern rights and northern negro stealing & such matters.� By the New Year of 1860 William’s letters home were written from the new Fort Cobb in the Choctaw Nation, just a few miles north of modern day Lawton, Oklahoma. The commander of Company C, Captain Joseph Plummer was taken with an illness and had to turn command over to young William. (Oh, and by the way, during the war Captain Plummer would attain the rank of brigadier general but would die of disease right here in Corinth.) William didn’t care much for duty in Indian Territory but he was very impressed with the men of Company C. “The Company is a very good one – The men are well drilled and in good discipline; and are a fine athletic set, as you would find anywhere: They all shoot the Rifle pretty well: and some of them are fine shots: We have been drilling for some time in the new French practice of fencing with the Bayonet: and some of the men are becoming quite expert.� As 1860 drew to a close William’s letters were filled with speculation on the fate of the nation as civil war loomed on the horizon. He determined to leave the army if Texas seceded and he proved true to his word. He traveled to Richmond to apply for a commission and was
appointed a 1st Lt. in the Confederate States Army. This was not the usual path to a commission when most prospective officers sought appointments in one of the hundreds of volunteer regiments such as the 2nd Texas or 9th Mississippi. William was never assigned to any particular regiment; he was a staff officer and his commission was in the regular Confederate army, not the volunteers. From Richmond he was directed to report to Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston for duty and was soon assigned to the staff of General William Beall, the commander of the Confederate cavalry in Corinth. In August he was transferred to Gen. Dabney Maury’s division to serve as the acting chief of artillery. For the rest of the war Burnet was hitched to Maury’s wagon and they became close friends. It was in the role of chief of artillery that William returned to Corinth. As the head of Maury’s artillery, William, now a major, was in charge of six artillery batteries totaling some twenty-four guns. During the first day of battle Major Burnett’s guns played a limited role and he was rarely able to get more than a few guns into positon at any given time. That night General Van Dorn gave his order to attack Corinth at dawn with all of his infantry. Prior to the grand charge he wanted an artillery bombardment to “soften up� the Union line. At 3 a.m. William ordered twelve guns to take position on a low ridge about three hundred yards north of the Union fort known as Battery Robinett. An hour later all the pieces were in place and the night sky
was lit by the booming cannon from Tennessee, Arkansas and Alabama. In the cross hairs of the bombardment were Battery Robinett and the twenty-six men of Company C, 1st U.S. Infantry. Yes, that’s right; Major Burnett was directing the fire at his old command and his old comrades. The two officers in the fort, Lieutenants Robinett and Cullen, were newcomers to the regiment and strangers to William, but he knew every one of the two dozen enlisted men; sergeants, corporals and privates. These were the same guys he bragged about to his father on their shooting skill and expertise with the bayonet. They had fought Comanche together, sat round the same campfires and shared water from their canteens. A small world indeed. One thing is for certain; Burnet had trained some good fighters. Company C was soon responding with cannon fire of their own and within a half hour had succeeded in driving the Confederate guns from the ridge. And then to add insult to injury, four of the enlisted men ran across the open ground and boldly captured one of the enemy cannon. The following day, at Davis Bridge on the Hatchie River, Major Burnet literally saved the day. When fortunes had turned against the Confederates and they were pushed back to the east bank of the river, William positioned fifteen guns that halted the Union advance and inflicted over four hundred casualties on the Federals. Major Burnet was eventually promoted to Colonel and almost returned to Corinth. Almost.
In May of 1864 he was directed to make the trip from Mobile in order to locate and mark the graves of the Confederate killed in the battle two years before. Unfortunately for all of us he never completed his journey and to this day we are unsure of the location of hundreds of graves. The Battle of Brice’s Crossroads interfered with the colonel’s travel plans and then an increased threat to Mobile prevented him from trying again. It was near Mobile that William Burnet’s war came to a close. On the 31st of March, just two weeks shy of the end of the war, William was killed instantly from a bullet to the head while on a reconnaissance near Spanish Fort. General Maury wrote to William’s father to break the news of the loss of “my most Christian friend. I relied upon him more than anyone. He was a rare compound of excellent qualities. He was the best educated soldier I have ever seen. He was kind to all and so modest and unobtrusive that only persons of rare discrimination, or knew him intimately, appreciated him adequately. His death is a loss to his country and comes at a time when I feel it profoundly. I cannot replace him. His loss is irreparable.� William was an only son, and as the 31-yearold bachelor had no children of his own, that branch of the Burnet line came to an end. He rests in the historic Magnolia Cemetery in Mobile not far from his father. (Tom Parson is National Park Service ranger at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center.)

Man asks about crossdressing WIZARD OF ID
DILBERT
GARFIELD
FORT KNOX
PICKLES
Dear Annie: I’m a 24-year-old male who has been crossdressing since the age of 8. It started with collecting my own bras and panties, and now I have an entire wardrobe of women’s clothing. Because I currently live on my own, I change out of my male clothes into my female ones as soon as I come home from work. I’ve also had very serious thoughts and dreams about being a woman. This is confusing to me, and I want to know whether there is someone I can talk to about these feelings. I’m way too scared to come out to family or friends because of what they would think. — Lost in Ottawa Dear Ottawa: Crossdressing is not as uncommon as you might think, and there are many reasons. Some people crossdress to disguise themselves, be more comfortable, act a part or because it is attractive to a partner (e.g., women who wear a man’s dress shirt to bed). That type of crossdressing is fairly common and socially acceptable. For others, there is a sexual component or a release of tension, along with a compulsion to wear clothing of the opposite gender. This type of cross-
Annie’s Mailbox dressing can be more difficult for family members or partners to accept. You can find support and information through The Society for the Second Self (tri-ess.org) and the International Foundation for Gender Education (ifge.org). Dear Annie: I read the letter from “At a Loss for Words,” the daughter who is constantly hurt by her mother’s lack of involvement with her children. She could work on changing her own behavior toward the situation. She has taught her mother how to treat her by always being loving and kind in spite of Mom’s narcissistic attitude. Perhaps she should take a different approach and just invite Mom to her children’s events with only brief notice and no expectation that Mom will show up. The more distance she puts between herself and her mother the more Mom will want to be involved, because she will wonder why things changed. Also, perhaps she could put a positive spin on things by relishing the fact
that her mother is not a busybody who is overly involved in her life. (This happens much more often than the reverse.) I bet as Mom ages, she will try harder and harder to get involved with her grandchildren’s lives, but by that time, it will be too late. Sadly, it will take time for Mom to figure that out. When the board meetings and the fancy car appointments are over, Mom will be a bitter old woman. — Better Approach Dear Better: You could be right. Sometimes withholding one’s attentions makes you more desirable, although it would take a major behavioral adjustment for the daughter to behave in an indifferent and uncaring way. But Mom may never quite care enough about missing out on one set of grandchildren. She has another set whom she favors, which is also part of the problem. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

Springtime!
Spring is a milder season that marks the end of Winter. Spring brings mild, warmer weather to most parts of the world. Flowers bloom; trees once again have green leaves; plants grow; and animals become active again. People begin more outdoor activities, such as sports and picnics. Seeds are planted, and gardens are tended to. As the Earth revolves around the sun (It takes one full year for it to completely rotate around the sun one time.), the side of the Earth you live on, or hemisphere, is either closer to the sun or farther away. The warmer, milder weather is due to the closer distance to the sun for that particular season. The beginning of Spring is marked by the Vernal Equinox. An Equinox is the only day of the year in which both day and night are the exact length of time. In the Northern Hemisphere, we experience the Vernal Equinox (or first day of Spring) around March 21, while in the Southern Hemisphere the first day of their Fall season is experienced. This occurrence is due to the fact that the sun is passing directly over the equator which happens only twice a year. Spring usually lasts until around the end of June, when the hemisphere is even closer to the sun, and the hot Summer weather arrives.

Local ham radio operators ready to help BY SARAH ROWLAND For the Daily Corinthian
Who knew there is a network of people at work all over the world, including here in Alcorn County? This isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s a hobby. Amateur (ham) radio is a universally recognized hobby that extends from the smallest hut to the international space station to the moon. “Ham radio and stamp collecting are the only two hobbies practiced in every country of the world,” said Barry Nelson (K9YVT) of Selmer, Tenn., and ham operator since the early 1960s. “Ham radio exists as a hobby because it exists as a service.” Nelson is referring to the not-so-obvious reason for ham radio’s existence — emergency communications. Though many hams practice radio as a hobby, whether their focus is simply radio operation or collecting proofs of communication from every country in the world, ham radio’s final purpose is to be back up communication during emergencies. When Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005, mainstream communication was knocked out for several hours, but ham radio was utilized by emergency personnel and civilians in the meantime. Since 1980, the Alcorn County Amateur Ra-
dio Emergency Service (ACARES) is a club of amateur radio operators who meet once a month to discuss the latest in ham radio and emergency communications. Affiliated with the American Radio Relay League (www. arrl.org), ACARES’s purpose is to share knowledge among members, provide free communication for public events and in the event of natural or man-made disasters, said Fred Reiselt (WB5CON), the club’s public information officer. The club also maintains repeaters to extend local coverage for handheld devices. To hone their emergency communications skills and prove their chops, Reiselt said the club periodically conducts simulated emergency tests and maintains radio stations at the Magnolia Regional Health facility and EMA 911 office. “We conduct an annual exercise in June each year called field day,” he said. “When we set up our equipment with emergency power, temporary antennas, and temporary facilities to test our ability to deploy in an actual emergency. This exercise is done nationwide on the same weekend each year.” Field day lasts 24 hours while hams test equipment and seek to make as many contacts as possible with other hams around

the world. “[Emergency communications] is the main benefit to our community, a benefit we hope we never have to use, but we can provide,” said Reiselt. For those interested in monitoring ham radio activity in the event of a disaster, short wave receivers (not to be confused
with police scanners) can be bought many places. The Alcorn County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) would also be another resource for information. In the event of an emergency the American Red Cross or Salvation Army will set up headquarters where ham operators, “as
a memo of understanding,” will report to offer communications, volunteering time and equipment, explained Nelson. Usually that means a radio base will be set up at the emergency headquarters where mobile hams will report pertinent information from around the disaster area, he said. In lieu of emergency communications, ACARES also offers free communications for public events, such as the annual Corinth Coca-Cola Classic 10K where they report statistics to the finish line from every mile marker. Beyond the facts that ham radio as a hobby allows one to talk to anyone in the world, to astronauts in space, or bounce signals off the moon, anyone regardless of age or any other restriction may become a ham upon completing licensing through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). “People as young as 5 and as old as 96 have become hams,” said Nelson, “I think that’s pretty cool.” Not only is there no age restriction, to become a licensed ham may be free depending on where those interested in licensing decide to test. While some clubs and organizations charge for the cost of material, ACARES conducts free testing for all three licenses (technician,
general, and extra) after each monthly meeting. Nelson said ham radio is an ever-expanding hobby continuously evolving with technology. He said when he started, radios were constructed with glass tubing and today, a lot of radio communications utilizes computer and even Internet. It’s a hobby perfect for those interested in life-long learning and discovery. Interested in ham radio? Nelson said the best first step to getting involved is talking with a licensed ham operator — contact ACARES or Alcorn County EMA to get in touch with someone. The next step is to study for and pass the technician class licensing exam. Once passed, the FCC will issue and publicly register a unique call sign to be used on the air, then the possibilities are endless. (For more information about ACARES or local ham radio, contact Fred Reiselt at 662-396-9396 or Bob Sharpe, ACARES’s president, at 662-2876688, or attend ACARES meetings the first Saturday of every month at 9 a.m. at the Corinth/Alcorn County Airport.)

Successful spring gardening should begin with a soil test Gardening is a pastime many people here in Alcorn County enjoy. Daylight hours are gradually getting longer during this time of year and this affords individuals more time in the evening to get out and make preparations for this year’s garden. With the spring growing season just around the corner, I wanted to touch on some tips that would hopefully help ensure a successful growing season. First and foremost, if you haven’t already done it, you need to get a soil sample of where you have your garden planted. I realize I mention this in just about all of my columns, but it is a very important issue. One of the most common garden problems is a pH level that is too low. This can be remedied with pelletized or agricultural lime, but knowing how much to put out will require a soil sample. Soil samples are $6 each but it is still one of the cheapest manage-
ment tools available to help in plant growth, especially the Patrick with cost of ferPoindexter tilizer this year. Ag Lines Adjustm e n t s made based on your soil report can have a tremendous impact on how well your garden grows. Above all, if you are not sure as to how much fertilizer you will need in a particular area, the best way to find out is to soil test. You can bring these samples along with a check or money order to the Alcorn County Extension Service and we will mail them to the lab for you. Usually results will be returned to you in 7 to 10 days. This is the cheapest management tool that you as a homeowner can utilize in order to insure the proper growing conditions for your garden. When preparing for the gardening season it
is important to have a plan. By that, I mean you need to have an idea of where your garden will be located and how it will be sectioned off. I like to draw my garden out on a sheet of notebook paper. Be sure to date it and you will have a record of where you planted different crops in your garden. This is very helpful when you want to rotate your plants from year to year. Spring is just around the corner and typically we will experience some rainy weather. It is important to remember that periods of rainy weather followed by warm temperatures can lead to an increase in certain types of fungal infections as well as diseases associated with tomatoes in the garden. There are several ways to decrease the occurrence of these issues. Incidence of diseases such as early blight, Septoria leaf spot, and buckeye fruit rot, all of which are more severe following rainy weather, can be reduced
with the following tomato tips. The first involves the use of plant stakes or support cages. Gardeners need to make sure the leaves of the plant don’t come in contact with the soil within the first few weeks of setting out transplants as the first line of defense for tomato leaf diseases and fruit rots. This control technique is effective since the fungi which cause these diseases live in the soil. Tomato foliage and fruit in contact with the soil surface quickly become disease targets when rain splashes soil particles containing blight and fruit rot fungi onto lower parts of the plant. So, if you stake, trellis, or cage your plants, this will cut down on disease development in the lower part of the plants. In turn, disease movement up the plant will be slowed. Along with staking of tomato plants, it’s a good idea to use mulch to further reduce the amount of soil splash onto fruit.
Mulching is a good idea not only for tomato production but for other vegetable crops as well. Mulching will help with pod rot (anthracnose) of lima beans, belly rot of cucumbers and cantaloupes, and fruit rot of bell peppers. Early-season mulching with plastic, newspaper, pine straw, wheat straw and similar materials will mean extra work, but the technique works and will allow you to reduce losses from wet weather diseases. Staking and mulching will help, but it’s important to realize that other practices such as a good fungicide application program will also need to be carried out to further cut down on vegetable disease losses. There are several fungicides that are on the market that can be used in your garden. Be mindful of withdrawal times and always follow the label directions. If you are not sure if a particular fungicide or insecticide can be used on the vegetable in question,
then don’t use it. One last thing to remember is that if you are starting your plants off early this year and you get them in the ground early as well, be prepared to cover them if we encounter a cold snap. Most of the time this occurs sometime in April. Being unprepared could cost you a crop so make plans to cover those plants if necessary. Additional information on garden diseases and insect control are covered in the extension publication “Garden Tabloid”. These are available at the Alcorn County Extension Office free of charge. If you have questions concerning plant diseases and garden clean-up practices, please call me at the Alcorn County Extension office at 286-7755 or you can look us up on the web at www.msucares.com.

I started my “spirit” confections in the late ’60s making rum balls to send fellow high school graduates serving in Guam and Vietnam. Now, occasionally when my cousin asks, “you know what I’m ready for,” I know it’s rum balls. I detest rum balls and they’re troublesome and time-consuming, so I tell him he’s the only person special enough who I’d make them for. Throughout the years I have acquired many recipes for what I call “spirit” cakes. Several friends have come to expect them for birthdays and holidays. Several years ago before Corinth could sell “spirits” two friends and I were at our favorite store in Nashville stocking up for holiday baking. I asked where the Kahlua was and proceeded to tell the clerk about my Kahlua cake, Then I got some light rum for rum cakes, peach schnapps for pound cakes, ready-made margarita mix for cheesecakes and asked for Irish creme because I had just found a Paula Dean recipe for an Irish creme pound cake. While the clerk was checking me out, one by one I told him what I planned to make from each of the “spirits.” I could hear my friends giggling in the background, and when we got outside they burst out laughing. One politely said that I, loaded down with three bags, looked like an alcoholic coming out of the store and there was no way the clerk thought I was going to use all that liquor for cooking. Following are four of my most requested “spirit” cake recipes. As usual, I take liberties with instructions and ingredi-

ents. T h e Blackberry Wine cake was given to me years ago by the Sue late Wanza Bronson Little. At the time, Down Home my late husband had made several bottles of blackberry wine so I did lots of cakes. For a glaze, she used 1 cup confectioners sugar and about 4-6 tablespoons wine to pour over hot cake. I’m including the glaze I do which cooks out the alcohol -- the same as for Kahlua, Irish creme and rum cakes. Kristy Evans told me how to do the Strawberry Margarita Cake one day during one of her wonderful massages. I did it several times her way, then decided to change it up by adding rum, a glaze and topping. I’ll share both recipes which are equally delicious. Mine is way richer and the 1⁄4 cup rum makes it a “real” margarita cake. This is the perfect summer cake since it’s served cold and the longer it stays in the refrigerator, the better it gets. A friend said it just starts getting good about the time it’s all gone. The only thing I do different from the original Kahlua cake instructions is put 1⁄2 cup leftover coffee instead of water. Why mess with perfection? The peach schnapps pound cake — or Fuzzy Navel Cake — is an invention when I was experimenting and if I do say so, it’s a winner. A couple of helpful notes — I have found wooden skewers are perfect to poke holes in Bundt or angel food cakes. Also, Kahlua is a brand name. When used for cooking any brand coffee flavored liqueur will do and is usually cheaper.
Kahlua Cake 1⁄2 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) 1 German chocolate cake mix ( I like to use double fudge cake mix when I can find it) 1 small box chocolate instant pudding 1⁄2 cup water (or coffee) 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil 1⁄2 cup Kahlua 4 large eggs, beaten lightly Preheat over to 350 degrees. Spray Bundt pan (or two loaf pans). Sprinkle nuts evenly over bottom; set aside. Combine cake mix and pudding mix; add water, oil, Kahlua and eggs. Mix well until smooth. Pour into pan and bake 45 minutes or until pick inserted in center comes out clean. Pour glaze over cake while hot. Let set about 30 minutes before turning out onto plate. Topping: 1 stick butter or margarine 1 cup sugar 1⁄4 cup water 1⁄4 cup Kahlua In saucepan, combine ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil about 2 minutes, stirring often. Pole holes in
cake and pour over letting it soak through. Let set about 30 minutes before turning out on plate.
Strawberry Margarita Cake 3⁄4 cup bottled strawber-
ry flavored non-alcoholic margarita drink mix 1⁄4 cup light rum 1 box super moist white cake mix 3 egg whites 1⁄3 cup oil 1 cup whipped topping 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup sour cream 4-6 tablespoons nonalcoholic strawberry margarita drink mix 11⁄2 cup powdered sugar Fresh strawberries, if desired Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom only of 13x9x2-inch cake pan. Add enough water to drink mix to make 1 cup; add 1⁄4 cup light rum. Beat cake mix (dry), drink mix, oil and egg whites in large bowl. Pour into pan and bake 28-33 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Glaze 4-6 tablespoons nonalcoholic strawberry margarita drink mix 1 to 11⁄2 cup powdered sugar Poke holes in cake while hot. Mix drink mix with powdered sugar and pour over cake. If using fresh strawberries, layer on top of glaze. Cool completely. Topping: Mix 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup sour cream until smooth. Fold in 1 cup (more or less to desired consistency) whipped topping. Spread on cooled cake. Refrigerate.
Blackberry Wine Cake 1 box white cake mix Small box blackberry gelatin 4 eggs, lightly beaten 1⁄2 cup oil 1 cup blackberry wine 1 cup chopped pecans Mix and pour into Bundt pan.

A little girl’s memory of ‘The Real Library’
BY JAYLENE WHITEHURST Columnist
I rarely pass the corner of Fillmore and Cruise Streets in my hometown of Corinth that I don’t picture my mother looking out the front passenger window of our ’57 Chevy, shaking her head at the site of where Rubel’s Department Store once stood. From my backseat spot, I heard her sigh, time after time, “Tore down Rubel’s for a Kent’s Dollar Store. A KENT’S Dollar Store!” My memories of Rubel’s have decades less duration than hers. If I was ever inside the store, I don’t clearly remember. The vague imagery I have of its interior is
Old Corinth Library more likely cobbled together from what I heard over the years than from what I actually saw. My clearest memory is of the exterior: a massive red brick structure that rose skyward and loomed right outside my car window, as we passed on the way to church three times a week. Its presence pressed hard toward Fillmore Street, but my relationship with it was mainly born of the connection my parents had to it. They grieved when it
was gone. A part of their identity and a way of framing their community left when a pale brick building, hunkering close to the ground, claimed the same spot. Before I had the words to express what I was aware of, I knew on a level below the surface that my family’s connection to the architecture of this town was about more than buildings. Their stories were built within edifices that might be left standing only in their memo-
ries, but those structures remained as significant as when they were mortar and brick, board and nail. This brings me, by a circuitous path through time and town, to the Corinth Library. Pulling into the familiar parking lot, I remind myself, more than I want to admit, of my mother and Rubel’s. The current Corinth Library was built in 1969. Here’s the spot where I feel a kinship with my parents, aware that I too have experienced changes

card and a signature. Before there was The New Library, where I, as a young woman, browsed glossy periodicals I couldn’t afford to buy and checked out art books before the Internet made every facet of art accessible with a couple of clicks and where I first saw the work of local painters hanging in the auditorium, there was another library with a sunny room to the right of the entrance, its white shelves full of children’s books illustrated with bright colors and extraordinary characters that leapt from over-sized pages like paintings in motion. Before there was The New Library, where brick and soaring glass create an airy space that shifts with the seasons drifting across the sky, where boots and sandals sound the same --- muffled by industrial carpeting --there was another library where wooden floors welcomed me into a cool hush smelling of leather and paper and ink, the dusty scent of accumulation a comforting relief from the heat of summer.

in this town: in spite of its construction year, my mind persists in calling a 46- year old structure The New Library, and I allow my mind to have its way. Before there was The New Library, with its expansive clerestory windows and its sturdy tables and chairs with the pale wooden legs and laminate surfaces that have served users dependably and with its balcony that has intrigued decades of children as only a balcony can, there was another library with single windows and oak furnishings and a stairway leading to another mysterious upper floor, off-limits to the likes of elementary-aged me. Before there was The New Library, where I spent hours as a high school junior contracting for an “A” in Mrs. Mildred Myers’s American History class, where I did all research that couldn’t be accomplished at home with the treasured beige and green set of World Book Encyclopedias, there was another library with shelves upon shelves of knowledge and adventure, riches to be explored upon presentation of nothing but a magical

LIBRARY CONTINUED FROM 3C
New Library there was what will always be, to me, The Real Library. When summers stretched beyond imagination and school holidays loitered instead of speeding past, my mother could comfortably drop me off at Sterling’s or Kuhn’s to wander the aisles, with my pocketed allowance money, while she made her Thursday round of errands in town. Or I could ask to go to the library. A crisp white building, with starched angles and two stories, it sported dark shutters aside the simple double hung windows and a welcoming portico that had once been part of a wraparound porch, long gone. When it wasn’t making rounds, the Bookmobile would be parked alongside the building. During the school year, it occasionally came to West Corinth School, leaving me mesmerized by the idea of a library on wheels. I was pretty sure that to drive the bookmobile would be the best job
in the world. The sparkle of sunlight danced through the leaves of trees that lined the gravel drive and parking lot on the south side of the building, especially in summer when, when the most pressing hurry was to look through as many books as I could before Mother’s errands brought her back around to pick me up. I don’t believe there was ever a time I approached the front door that I didn’t feel a nervous stir of anticipation: I was about to step into a hallowed space that opened onto the world of imagination. I trust my impressions of that space more than I do precise memories; it was the sensations that arose in my pliable younger self that remain firm, to this day. The entrance, with its checkout desk presided over by Augusta Richardson, received ambient light from The Children’s Room, jutting streetward on the right of the entry. Henrietta Byrd was on duty too, but Mrs. Augusta, as if she knew the ran-
I miss the wooden card catalog, its former space now filled with shelving for new arrivals, and its purpose fulfilled by keyboards and screens on a kiosk where I never have to stoop down to tug out a bottom drawer. didn’t easily disagree with grownups who were tall and authoritative. Stepping up to the checkout desk to present my selections to Mrs. Augusta, I imagined what it would be like to approach God and be found wanting. Did God have a cocked eyebrow like Mrs. Augusta? Hmmm‌ I felt slight courage and great trepidation every time I pressed on with Tales of King Arthur and the like, instead of the stories about rosy-cheeked children she kept steering me toward. But finally there was that time when I was older, probably in fifth grade -- and I still have no clue how this happened -that I checked out a John Steinbeck book and read
dom times I’d be dropped off, was as ever present as a sentinel (and with a similar bearing), guarding that sunlit room to the right. Oh, The Children’s Room! I can still see the glitter of dust motes on the slanted rays of early afternoon light. It might as well have been fairy dust. If only Mrs. Augusta would cease with her suggestions and let me browse in peace, the magical spell wouldn’t be broken. Shhhhhh‌ I so wanted to do the unthinkable and shush the librarian! But I tried to be a good girl and, frankly, I was rather terrified of displeasing the woman so, more than once, I left with books of her choosing instead of mine. Second graders in 1962

strange grown-up words that I didn’t understand about life far outside The Children’s Room. Far outside The Young Adult literature I frequented now. The look on Mrs. Augusta’s face when I returned the adult narrative left her mouth agape. Speechless. I had finally silenced the librarian. Played out in The Real Library by an unsuspecting but well-meaning antagonist and the child that I was, I still look back on that as one of the more satisfying episodes of my life. The New Library has gone through its own changes over time. I miss the wooden card catalog, its former space now filled with shelving for new arrivals, and its purpose fulfilled by keyboards and screens on a kiosk where I never have to stoop down to tug out a bottom drawer. There’s more shelving than there used to be, more books. Computers take up spaces where books once lined walls and tables stood. The expanse of clerestory windows has blinds now, relief against the intensity of sunlight that has, more than once, stabbed me in the eye. Mrs. Augusta, who quieted patrons early on in the The New Library as well as in The Real Library, has been followed by a succession of keepers of the books, who oversee technology, periodicals,
and DVDs, as well as a selection of books in audio. My mother’s grief about Rubel’s Department Store certainly didn’t hold her back from frequenting Kent’s Dollar Store. I clearly remember shopping there with her, listening to the conversations of adults interacting with each other, shaping my own memories of childhood. The woman did love a good buy, wherever it came from. I miss The Real Library that lives in my memory, yet I strongly value The New Library, a significant community resource that keeps changing with the times. With its meeting spaces, public computers, and ongoing exhibits in the auditorium, it has offered services to the Corinth area for 46 years that the tall white structure couldn’t. Like my mother, I feel the past and the present colliding within me as I go about my errands in this town. The people and the places that defined and shaped who I was as a child — gone now for years — still cast a long shadow across my life.

Administration sets record for withholding files BY TED BRIDIS Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration set a record again for censoring government files or outright denying access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, according to a new analysis
of federal data by The Associated Press. The government took longer to turn over files when it provided any, said more regularly that it couldn’t find documents and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially news-
worthy. It also acknowledged in nearly 1 in 3 cases that its initial decisions to withhold or censor records were improper under the law — but only when it was challenged. Its backlog of unanswered requests at year’s end grew remarkably by
55 percent to more than 200,000. It also cut by 375, or about 9 percent, the number of full-time employees across government paid to look for records. That was the fewest number of employees working on the issue in five years. The government’s new figures, published Tuesday, covered all requests to 100 federal agencies during fiscal 2014 under the Freedom of Information law, which is heralded globally as a model for transparent government. They showed that despite disappointments and failed promises by the White House to make meaningful improvements in the way it releases records, the law was more popular than ever. Citizens, journalists, businesses and others made a record 714,231 requests for information. The U.S. spent a record $434 million trying to keep up. It also spent about $28 million on lawyers’ fees to keep records secret. “This disappointing track record is hardly the mark of an administration that was supposed to be the most transparent in history,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who has co-sponsored legislation with Sen. Patrick
8th Annual Mississippi State Cook-Off
Held in conjunction with
Saturday, April 11 Historic Corinth Depot Downtown Corinth, Miss. 221 North Fillmore St.
Leahy, D-Vt., to improve the Freedom of Information law. Their effort died in the House last year. The new figures showed the government responded to 647,142 requests, a 4 percent decrease over the previous year. It more than ever censored materials it turned over or fully denied access to them, in 250,581 cases or 39 percent of all requests. Sometimes, the government censored only a few words or an employee’s phone number, but other times it completely marked out nearly every paragraph on pages. On 215,584 other occasions, the government said it couldn’t find records, a person refused to pay for copies or the government determined the request to be unreasonable or improper. The White House touted its success under its own analysis. It routinely excludes from its assessment instances when it couldn’t find records, a person refused to pay for copies or the request was determined to be improper under the law, and said under this calculation it released all or parts of records in 91 percent of requests — still a record low since President Barack Obama took office using
the White House’s own math. “We actually do have a lot to brag about,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. Earnest on Wednesday praised agencies for releasing information before anyone requested it, such as the salaries and titles of White House employees. He cited more than 125,000 sets of data posted on a website, data. gov, which include historical temperature charts, records of agricultural fertilizer consumption, Census data, fire deaths and college crime reports. “When it comes to our record on transparency, we have a lot to be proud of,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One. “And frankly, it sets a standard that future administrations will have to live up to.” Separately, the Justice Department congratulated the Agriculture and State departments for finishing work on their oldest 10 requests, said the Pentagon responded to nearly all requests within three months and praised the Health and Human Services Department for disclosing information about the Ebola outbreak and immigrant children caught crossing U.S. borders illegally.

Crossroads area are helping get Booneville’s Halfway Home Animal Shelter back on its feet after a recent fire. When director Sheila Luff stepped out the back door of the main shelter building, she was greeted by a sight that filled her with pure terror as she discovered the fire in the Kitty Cottage, a separate building housing cats available for adoption. “The blackest smoke I ever saw was pouring out,” she recalled. She screamed for someone to call 911 and then she and other employees and volunteers covered their faces and began trying to rescue as many of the animals as possible, opening cages and pulling them out. In the end four cats and one puppy died in the fire and several other cats were treated for smoke inhalation and burns. The injured cats have all returned to the shelter. The Kitty Cottage suffered serious smoke damage in the fire, which was traced to a vacuum cleaner that somehow caught on fire. Luff said with a special adoption day set for the weekend they had no time to waste putting the pieces back together. Volunteers, led by Jerry Ford, Michael Luff and Tom Staunton, worked tirelessly to remove the damaged material from the cottage and make repairs.
“They were up here to one and two in the morning working,” she said. The building is now back in even better shape than before and filled with the happy sounds of purring cats and kittens. The shelter was also flooded with donations of supplies and funds from local residents as well as from people in Alcorn, Prentiss, Tishomingo and other surrounding counties and even from outside the state. “We’ve just been blessed,” said the director. She said they’re extremely grateful for all the support they’ve received. They’re entering the busy period of the year as warmer weather brings litters of stray cats and dogs. They continue to need donations of cat litter, cat and dog food and other materials as well as funds. They also continue to invite everyone to come visit them to see the animals available for adoption and hopefully find a new friend. For more information on animals available to adopt, visit the shelter on Townhouse Drive or call them at 662-720-1033. Their hours for the winter season are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the second Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
