Teens plead guilty to armed robbery BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
A pair of Corinth teens received sentences without the possibility of early release stemming from a September 2016 armed robbery. Demarco Perry, 15, of West Harris Circle, and Zerek D. Hurd, 19, of Washington Street, appeared in Alcorn County Cir-
One sentenced for vandalism to home, vehicles, Bishop Park cuit Court on Monday, entering guilty pleas in the armed robbery case. Judge Thomas Gardner III sentenced both to five-year dayfor-day sentences on the charge
with five years of probation. Hurd also pleaded guilty to felony taking of a motor vehicle, resulting in an additional consecutive five-year sentence and payment of restitution of $1,650
to a victim. He also pleaded guilty to felony malicious mischief, resulting in an additional consecutive five-year sentence and payment of restitution totaling $3,650 with co-defendants. At the time of the arrests in the armed robbery, police reported that individuals brandishing guns and wearing masks entered a residence on

County reconstructs debt for better future BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
With the restructuring of debt tied to the Alcorn County Regional Correctional Facility and associated offices now complete, county leaders are hopeful for a better financial outlook. Originally issued in 2009 in the principal amount of $22.7 million, the bond was to be paid off over a period of 22 years, ending in 2031. With the restructuring, the remaining principal balance of $18.815 million was divided into two parts — a general obligation bond of $10.055 million, which will continue to be paid from the reimbursement for housing Mississippi Department of Corrections inmates, and a revenue bond of $8.76 million, which is tied to the various county offices at the site and will be repaid by a 3.5 mill tax levied at the beginning of this fiscal year. The maturity date remains 2031 on the correctional facility portion and stretches out three more years to 2034 on the county offices. “We have been running a deficit of $1.1 million a year,” said Chancery Clerk Greg

Eyeglass case reveals a mystery BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com
A Corinth woman bought a piece of “junk” at a carport sale in 1989, but it wasn’t until this year that she realized what she had.
Peggy Drewry Smith told her story with a sense of wonder. “I think this is interesting,” she said. She placed an old, worn, black eyeglass case on the cool marble counter. The edges of
Waldron Street, holding up a 13-year-old. The suspects took a television, other electronics and a safe. The malicious mischief charge stemmed from the spray-painting and vandalism of a residence, vehicles and E.S. Bishop Park on Johns Street. The vandalism was reported to police on Sept. 1.

“This bond restructuring is a key factor in securing our financial future.” Jimmy Tate Waldon Board of Supervisors president Younger. “This will eliminate the majority of that, but there’s still going to be a deficit unless we can get those additional prisoners from MDOC.” It was originally believed that the reimbursements from MDOC for housing inmates would cover the cost of building both the correctional facility and the attached government offices, but it hasn’t worked out that way. With budget cuts at MDOC, the agency reduced the number of inmates provided to the county early on, and the number was not enough to pay the debt service and cover operations. The problem worsened when the agency ended the inmate work program. Please see DEBT | 2A
Guild features artwork of youth BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
Two years ago Izaiah Belue took his aunt’s advise and enrolled in a high school art class. Since then, he’s had no regrets. “My aunt (Monica Wicks) told me to try different things and explore my options,” he said. “I honestly had no idea I would enjoy art as much as I do.” The Biggersville High School junior’s latest work of art is currently featured along side 10 other local high school student’s work inside the Corinth
Artist Guild Gallery. As part of the gallery’s “A Walk in History” project, local high school students created images of landmarks such as the Alcorn County Courthouse, Fillmore Street Chapel and B.F. Liddon home. Belue’s drawing depicts the Jacinto Courthouse in charcoal pencil. “I chose Jacinto because I really thought it would be easier than the other local historical buildings, but it was actually quite a challenge,” said the teen. “I really like how the finished product turned out.
The second year art student plans to take third year art his senior year under instructor Jodi Hajek. He also has a drawing currently on display at Northeast Mississippi Community College. Other BHS students showcased in the exhibit include Brooklyn Godwin and Baylee Parmely. The self-portrait artwork of more than 200 Corinth kindergartens will also be featured through mid-April at the gallery. Please see ARTWORK | 2A

Schools receive fitness grants BOONEVILLE — A pair of Prentiss County schools are getting help to help kids get into shape. Bruce Padgett at Jumpertown Elementary School and Amy Crawford at Wheeler Attendance Center recently received approval for applications for grant funding from the Project Fit America Program through the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation. Each school will receive a grant of $29,969 to fund the program. Project Fit America provides schools with outdoor fitness equipment, indoor fitness equipment, lesson plan support equipment, a core curriculum and teacher training. The program is designed to help students become healthier by giving them the knowledge and skills to make healthier choices and learn how to exercise safer. The Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation reports testing in pilot programs shows students saw significant improvements in health with upper body strength improving by over 25 percent, cardiovascular endurance by over 20 percent and abdominal strength by over 20 percent. Hills Chapel Elementary School and Marietta Elementary School are previous recipients of the grant in the county.

Selmer 4-H launches new shooting sports team SELMER, Tenn. — McNairy County’s Extension Agency has organized a new McNairy County Shooting Sports Team for 4-H members. Team members are learning gun handling safety and shooting techniques using competition BB guns. The fledgling team is comprised of 4-H members in grades 6-8. The McNairy County team practices twice a week in preparation for the State 4-H Shoot that will be held April 8
in Dickson, Tenn. Certified 4-H Shooting Instructors Rich and Kim Mullins provide volunteer leadership for the team, which is assisted by the parents of team members. Each team member owns his/her own gun, and has invested in other equipment, such as goggles and a backdrop for his/her targets. Youth are learning to shoot from standing, seated, and prone positions at competition targets. The team will take a break after the state shoot, unless a team member qualifies for the national competition. Membership is limited to current team members for now, but there may be room for growth as more parents become Certified 4-H Shooting Sports Instructors. For more information, please contact Julie Harstin, McNairy County 4-H Agent, at 731-645-3598.
who filed a wrongful death lawsuit in the fatal shooting of a Tupelo man by a police officer. The Clarion-Ledger reports a federal magistrate found attorney Carlos Moore failed to comply with court rules when he didn’t turn over a forensic expert’s analysis requested by Tupelo city attorneys in a timely manner. Moore represents the family of Ronnie Shumpert, who was fatally shot by Tupelo police officer Tyler Cook in June 2016. A wrongful death suit by Sumpert’s family seeks $35 million from the city. Moore said he was under “immense stress” last year, largely because he received death threats after suing Gov. Phil Bryant over the Mississippi state flag. That suit was later dismissed. Moore said accepts the court’s sanction order.

Man sentenced to prison for plot to kidnap judge
Pilot sentenced for intoxicated flight
TUPELO — A Mississippi man has been sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to kidnap a judge. Attorney General Jim Hood said in a news release Friday that 28-year-old Matthew Fowler of Guntown was sentenced to five years in prison plus five years on supervised release. Fowler pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiring to kidnap Lee County Circuit Court Judge Paul Funderburk as well as plotting to burglarize the judge’s home. Fowler and two other men were charged in January 2016 after witnesses told police they overheard the suspects discussing the plot at a Tupelo restaurant. Hood’s office handled the prosecution at the request of the local district attorney, who was recused because of a conflict of interest.
COLUMBUS — A pilot will spend 10 months in a Scottish prison after trying to fly a plane while drunk. Thirty-five-year-old Columbus native Paul Brady Grebenc was sentenced Friday. Grebenc, along with another pilot, was arrested in August 2016 before attempting to fly more than 140 passengers from Scotland to New Jersey. According to the BBC, Grebenc’s blood alcohol level was more than double the limit for flying. Grebenc has served as a pilot in the 43rd Flying Training Squadron at the Columbus Air Force Base since 2012. In a statement, the base said Grebenc is no longer on active duty at this time. He could face military punishment.

of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the 25th District Attorney General and the Hardeman County Sheriff’s Office announced the creation of a $24,000 reward in an effort to gain information about a 1998 unsolved murder in Hardeman County. At the request of then-District Attorney General Elizabeth Rice, TBI Special Agents joined the Hardeman County Sheriff’s Office in investigating the July 23, 1998 murder of Michael Bell. At that time, Bell was a clerk at the McKee’s Stateline Convenience Store, located on Highway 125S between Middleton, Tenn., and Walnut. The investigation revealed that an unknown individual shot and killed the clerk, then left the store in a 1990’s General Motors model sedan, and drove toward Walnut. Information gathered during the investigation indicates that robbery doesn’t appear to have been the motive of the shooting of Bell, but he was instead the target of a coordinated murder. The FBI has joined the TBI, 25thJudicial District Attorney General’s Office and the Hardeman County Sheriff’s Office to continue to aggressively investigate this 1998 murder. The partnership has resulted in new leads being developed in this case. On behalf of this investigation team District Attorney General Mike Dunavant and FBI Special Agent in Charge Michael T. Gavin announced last week the creation of a $24,000 reward. Investigators believe there are people in the community who can provide information that will assist in helping solve this crime. This reward is for information that directly assists law enforcement in the arrest and conviction of the person and or persons responsible for the death of Michael Bell. Anyone who has information about the July 23, 1998 murder of Michael Bell at the McKee’s Stateline Convenience Store in Hardeman County is asked to call 1-800-TBI-FIND.

Our View
State needs tighter guidelines, law for campaign finance We are glad our local legislative delegation helped pass the new campaign finance reform bill. Tighter guidelines are in the future for campaign spending in Mississippi. Lawmakers agreed on a new campaign finance reform bill earlier this week with the passage of Senate Bill 2689. The measure next moves to Gov. Phil Bryant for his approval. He is expected to sign the bill into law. All four Crossroads area House members voted to pass the bill, including Rep. Nick Bain (D-Alcorn), Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo), Rep. Tracy Arnold (R-Alcorn, Prentiss) and Rep. Jody Steverson (D-Alcorn, Tippah). Local Sen. Rita Potts Parks (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo, Tippah) also voted to pass the bill. We applaud our local leaders in state government for taking a stand on this issue. Under the current system, campaign contributions are perilously close to bribes, some experts say. This new law would do away with this thought. Public officials currently across the state can spend campaign money any way they like, as long as they pay income taxes on money taken for personal use. Some take large sums when they retire. Mississippi is one of only five states that still allow elected officials to pocket campaign money for personal use during or after their careers. If passed, the bill would ban lawmakers and other elected officials from spending money for non-campaign purposes such as a mortgage payment, funerals, clothing, automobiles, tuition or undocumented loans. “This is a great law that needs to be in place in Mississippi,” Corinth native Rep. Nick Bain told the Daily Corinthian last week. “Anything that forces lawmakers to be more transparent is a good thing. It shows the public we are here to serve them and not ourselves.” We agree. The measure would require officials to itemize credit card purchases of more than $200 instead of listing lump-sum payments. Officials could still use campaign money to cover campaign and official expenses, including travel to political and association meetings, car rental and accommodations. It also allows lawmakers to pay expenses connected with legislative sessions that are in excess of what is covered by the $140-per-day expense payment they collect. That seems fair. Candidates closing campaign accounts would be required to give the money to another political committee or candidate, to a nonprofit group or the state — or to return it to donors. Those are pretty good options. It’s a way to give back. The Mississippi Ethics Commission will oversee enforcement and ensure people and committees file finance reports. That’s so important. If signed by the governor, the law would go into effect on January 1, 2018. Bryant spokesman Clay Chandler has said publically the governor believed the bill contains “meaningful reforms” and plans to sign it. Transparent lawmarkers. That has a nice ring to it.

Prayer for today Loving Father, I thank thee that thou art the same yesterday, to-day, and forever; and I am glad I cannot receive from thee the slights and wounds that I may give or receive from my friends. May I be considerate and more forgiving, and by my sincerity be worthy of the purpose which I pursue. Amen.

Automotive industry key to state BY GLENN MCCULLOUGH Executive Director Mississippi Development Authority
A little more than a decade ago, Mississippi had never produced a commercial vehicle. Today, about 4 million vehicles assembled in the state are on the road around the world, and production is showing no signs of slowing down. For Mississippians, more significant than production milestones are the contributions Toyota and Nissan have made to the state and local economy. These automotive manufacturers are responsible for the creation of thousands of careers and the investment of billions of dollars in the state. This year, Toyota celebrates 10 years since the announcement it would locate in Blue Springs, Miss. Today, a Corolla, one of the world’s top-selling vehicle models, rolls off the assembly line every 71 seconds thanks to the Toyota Mississippi team. This team of Mississippi men and women assembled 500,000 vehicles faster than any other
Toyota plan in North America, proving once again the extraordinary quality of our workforce. Nissan’s Canton assembly plant produces eight models and is the global source for the Murano. The more than 3 million vehicles assembled at the Canton, Miss., facility solidifies the state’s position as a leader in the Southern Automotive Corridor. More important than the number of vehicles assembled in the state is the economic impact companies like Toyota, Nissan and almost 200 automotive suppliers have on their local communities and to the state. In a study published in 2016 by national think tank The Center for Automotive Research, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi is responsible for a payroll of approximately $307 million, creating $235 million in disposable income. Additionally, the report also estimates Toyota supports 6,700 direct and indirect jobs. Toyota’s Mississippi-made workforce also
is responsible for assembling more than 850,000 vehicles, and the company expects to produce the 1 million mark by the end of 2017. Mississippi State University’s National Strategic Planning & Analysis Research center also recently published a study highlighting Nissan’s contribution to the state’s economy. NSPARC estimates the presence of Nissan in Mississippi contributes $2.9 billion to the annual state gross domestic product. The automotive giant is responsible for 25,000 direct and indirect jobs in the state. Combined, Mississippi’s two original equipment manufacturers are responsible for an estimated 31,700 direct and indirect careers for hard-working people of our state. These careers create disposable income which is reinvested in our communities. A vital component of the Mississippi Development Authority’s mission is to build stronger communities. In addition to our ag-
gressive recruitment of global companies to the state like Continental Tire and Yokohama Tire, MDA is committed to developing local leaders. Strong leaders initiate community development, which leads to economic development. Successful communities are often the result of focused and forward-thinking leaders who create an environment where businesses can thrive. It is leadership at the state and local levels which resulted in Toyota and Nissan deciding Mississippi is the right location for their operations. Today, Mississippi reaps the benefits of Toyota and Nissan’s investment in our state and our people. We all share the responsibility to ensure we position more Mississippi communities for success. Investing in the infrastructure of people means every Mississippian wins.

We hope for fewer taxes instead of more taxes. We hope for better fiscal spending and less wasteful spending. It would be nice if the very poor who are hurting could be helped until they are back on their feet. However the idea of delivering lifetime checks to adults who will not try to work has become a tiresome practice for many Americans. Millions of Americans are addicted to their welfare and would rather hang on to the addiction of their welfare than go and find a paying a job. Welfare must become a temporary source of relief and not a lifestyle that’s passed on to future generations. We all know of cases of long-term debilitation. America should help those who are blind, suffering with chronic diseases that keep them imprisoned in wheelchairs and other forms of diseases and handicaps that imprison people and prevent them from doing life and working like other Americans. Americans hope for better days. We have been flooded with immigrants in this country. We cannot continue receiving a hundred to hundred fifty thousand illegal immigrants pouring into this country. Regardless of how sorry you feel for the hurting people from other countries how many people can we absorb into our schools? How many can we absorb into our welfare system? How many Americans who have been here for years can afford to lose

his or her job to someone who is willing to come and work for slave wages? How many refugees can we bring into our country? Since the 1980 Refugee act we have averaged 98,000 refugees per year. By the way Senator Joe Biden was one of the sponsors and Delaware has taken in very few refugees. Nine nonprofit organizations are making millions of dollars every year by bringing anybody they can into this country? They are the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), Lutheran Immigrant Aid Society (LIRS), International Rescue Committee (IRC), World Relief Corporation, Immigrant and Refugee Services of America (IRSA), Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), Church World Service (CWS), Domestic and Foreign Missionary Service of the Episcopal Church of the USA, Ethiopian Community Development Center (ECDC). The program is so lucrative that in some towns the Catholic Church has lessened support for traditional charity works to put more effort into resettlement. It uses collection offerings to promote the refugee resettlement program. When you start multiplying Seventy thousand to a hundred thousand refugees times even just a $1,000 you come up with some nice profit. The Volags get millions of dollars of other support from foundations and other nonprofits and a lot of community volunteers who help them with assimilating the refugees into their community. Refugee access to wel-
fare on the same basis as a U.S. citizen has made the program a global magnet. Many federal programs are available to them. The numbers of people coming to your state are not exactly proportionately. As I said earlier Delaware, where Joe Biden lives, receives hardly any refugees. Other states like Florida, New York, Texas, Maryland and Kentucky have been bombarded with refugees. How many thousands can any one city and state take on? We are talking about year after year thousands of people being transplanted to your town, your subdivision. Since 1980 with the act we have taken in over three million refugees. The additional cost to the welfare system is between $10 -$20 billion. Americans are hoping that Congress and our new President Trump will help us. Will jobs really come back to America? Will Congress really cut the corporate tax rate and make it more affordable for corporations to operate in this country? We need jobs. Our children are graduating high school and college every year. They want to move on with their lives and have a life. We need to help them. Our Veterans struggle with employment, housing and medical care while we bring in 70,000 refugees and treat them better than our Veterans. Our military is surviving in old beat up barracks. They often do not even have air conditioning in the summer and have old decrepit furnace systems in the winter.

America’s high school students should have access to community colleges and we should keep them as cheap as possible. Every kid in America should have an opportunity to go to college. Our country may not be able to offer community college for free but it needs to be as close to free as we can make it. Professors have to be paid and buildings built but let’s keep both within reason and we can make college accessible for all. There is a lot of worry and fear in America these days. Will Congress cut the Social Security checks of aged America? Are we safe as there are more and more random acts of violence? Congress and President Trump are wrestling verbally, tweeting, debating and voting about our future. Americans can make phone calls and write emails and letters to our leaders in Washington. We can protest and organize in our own communities to work for change. We can only hope our elected leaders will work to help this nation and preserve an America that our grandchildren might wake up to enjoy.

Bill requires back seat passengers to buckle up rent seat belt law sparked in the 1990s, when lawmakers enacted the measure only after multiple attempts. If Bryant signs the bill, it will go into effect on July 1. Mississippi would become the 29th state to mandate that all passengers in the back seat wear belts, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association. The association found in a recent report that back-seat occupants are three times more likely to die in a crash if they are unbelted than if they are restrained. That report also found that while 83 percent of back-seat occupants wore belts in states that mandate use, only 74 percent use belts in states that don’t require back-seat passengers to buckle up.
BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
Buckle up everybody ... it may soon be the law. If Gov. Phil Bryant approves SB 2724, a new law may do just that. Lawmakers agreed last week on a bill that would require seat belts for all passengers — front seat or back. Previously only front seat passengers and children were required by law to buckle up in the Magnolia State. Buses would be exempt, as would farm, mail and utility vehicles. A driver could be fined $25 for every unbelted passenger, although violations would not be listed on a person’s driving record. Rep. Nick Bain (D-Alcorn) supported the measure. “No matter where you sit in a vehicle, you should buckle up,” he said. Bain added he always votes for measures that promote life. “Whether in the womb or otherwise,” said Bain. “To me something like the seat belt requirement law is a common
sense way to help protect the lives of our citizens.” Bain was one of several local lawmakers to vote for the bill. Others include Rep. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo), Rep. Jody Steverson (D-Alcorn, Tippah) and Sen. Rita Potts Parks (R-Alcorn, Tishomingo, Tippah). Rep. Tracy Arnold (R-Alcorn, Prentiss) voted against the measure. Overall, lawmakers passed the bill with little debate and only a few votes against it. That’s a change from the heavy debate that Mississippi’s cur-

Officials face lower revenue at deadline JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers are trying to conclude budget talks Saturday, faced with the prospect of cutting state spending as much as 4 percent compared to what they originally budgeted for this year. House and Senate leaders are supposed to agree by Saturday night on dozens of bills to write a $6 billion-plus budget for the year beginning July 1. That task grew more difficult Friday when lawmakers lowered the revenue estimate for the upcoming year by $175 million. Gov. Phil Bryant has cut this year’s budget by more than $170 million to offset shortfalls. Lawmakers were already looking at cuts, but had hoped to set aside a reserve to cushion midyear shortfalls next year. Lower revenue could reduce the amount in reserve, lead to cuts in K-12 education spending, or both.
Senate confirms members to boards JACKSON — The Mississippi State Senate has confirmed new members of the state’s College Board and Community College Board. Senators voted unanimously Thursday to approve Gov. Phil Bryant’s appointment of retired state Supreme Court Justice Ann Lamar of Senatobia to the College Board, for a term running until May 2021. Lamar succeeds Karen Cummins, a trustee who died from cancer in January, representing
the northern third of the state on the board running eight public universities. Gov. Haley Barbour in 20017 appointed Lamar, the third woman to serve on the Supreme Court. She won a full term in 2009. Senators also voted unanimously to approve appointment of Luke Crane Montgomery of Fulton to the Community College Board, which coordinates 15 community colleges. He replaces his cousin, Chip Crane, serving until June 2021.
Jobless rate falls to lowest since 2001 JACKSON — Mississippi’s unemployment rate fell to the lowest level since May 2001 in February, while payrolls rose slightly. The jobless rate fell to 5.2 percent from 5.5 percent in January. That’s also below February 2016’s rate of 6.1 percent. People reporting having jobs grew faster than the number of people entering the workforce, dropping the number of unemployed Mississippians to 68,000. Payrolls rose by 1,000 to 1.15 million. That separate survey — many economists’ top labor market indicator — was slightly above January 2016 levels. Mississippi’s jobless rate is tied with West Virginia for ninth-highest among states, with New Mexico worst at 6.8 percent. The nationwide rate fell to 4.7 percent in February from January’s 4.8 percent. The U.S. Labor Department released the figures Friday, adjusted to cancel out seasonal changes.

Cursive writing Students may soon be required to write and read in cursive writing by the end of the fifth grade. If Bryant signs SB 2273, such a law would also
take effect on July 1. According to the measure, students would have to pass a test to prove their ability. Current requirements already call for children to learn cursive beginning in second grade. All local lawmakers voted for the passage of the bill.
Anti-sanctuary bill Another bill that could ban sanctuary cities in Mississippi also gained attention last week. SB 2710 states cities, state agencies and public colleges can’t prevent employees from asking someone’s immigration status. These public agencies also can’t give legal status to people who entered the country without permission, such as by issuing an identification card. Senators agreed with changes made by the House, with 11 senators voting against the bill. Bryant, a Republican who has long voiced concerns about people entering the country illegally, said he would sign the measure into law.
All local lawmakers casted a yes vote for the passage of the measure. Critics, however, have said the bill is discriminatory. The bill would override Mississippi’s only sanctuary policy. A 2010 ordinance in the city of Jackson prevents police officers from asking about immigration status. Supporters said the new bill would ensure local governments can’t hamper efforts to remove people who have entered illegally. In 2014, Mississippi had about 25,000 immigrants who had entered the country without permission, the Pew Research Center estimates. As a share of total population, Mississippi’s overall foreign-born population is among the smallest in the nation. (The Associated Press contributed to this story.)

Committee postpones chili cookoff BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
The Crossroads Chili Cookoff will return this year ... just not in April. Normally held the first weekend of April in conjunction with the Green Market at the Corinth Depot, event officials announced this week the 10th annual cookoff will take place on Memorial Day Weekend – Saturday, May 27. “Several of the key cookoff people – including myself – have had some complications the last few months that prevented us from holding the cookoff around our normal date,” said Steve Knight, cookoff chair. “It was a tough decision to move it, but we just couldn’t pull it off in time.” Knight said his com-

competition for bragging rights and a cash prize,” added Knight. A People’s Choice chili tasting event will also be held with all proceeds benefiting the non-profit Crossroads Museum. Although plans are still in the early stages, Knight said right now the cookoff needs sponsors to help make the event happen. “We have the support of the Tourism office (Corinth Area Convention & Visitor’s Bureau) as always and in the coming weeks we will be reaching out to our previous supports in hopes that they’ll want to help again,” said the chairman. Interested cookoff sponsors and volunteers can contact Knight at 662-415-8641.

It was tucked beneath the eyewear. The card was colored with age and dotted, possibly from the worn metal inside the case. The patient’s name on the card was Mrs. W., (there was a second letter which looked almost like another “W”), Hooten, of Tishomingo. Mrs. Hooten’s next appointment was scheduled for Sept. 2, 1939. Her appointment appeared to be with a Dr. Klein’s Optical Department at Bry’s in Memphis, Tenn. There is a phone number, but with an old exchange. Smith, like anyone who loves a good story, wanted to know
more about this person whose appointment for a simple eye exam was frozen in time 78 years ago. Her curiosity has been stirred. She hopes someone may find her and tell her about this woman with whom she is connected by a simple eyeglass case. She could not locate any more information on Mrs. Hooten or Bry’s. She said she searched for a Bry’s in Memphis, but only found a clothing store that went out of business in 1929. It is a mystery she wants to solve. Until then, it is just an appointment lost in time.

MYSTERY CONTINUED FROM 1A
details with the flourish and buildup of a natural storyteller. Smith may be familiar to her fellow Corinthians as the wife of the late Harold Smith. He owned the cafe “Hamburger Harolds,” which was a Fillmore Street fixture for many years until his health declined. He died in 2011. In the summer of 1989, she and her husband had a friend named Hack Hamilton, who lived near Crow’s Neck. (She mentioned she and Harold liked to camp at Crow’s Neck for many years.) The three of them
would go out early on weekends in search of carport sales. It was on one Saturday morning where she found herself digging through carport sale items and found the eyeglass case at the bottom of the pile. “I held it up to Smith the lady having the sale and I asked, ‘How do much you want for this?’ and the lady said, ‘fifty cents.’ I said, ‘I’ll take it,’” recalled Smith.
Smith said she later tossed the case into a drawer and it lay there forgotten until 2017, when she decided to some cleaning. She rediscovered the case in the process of clearing out the drawer and opened it. Inside was a pair of round, black-rimmed glasses. She put them on and blinked owlishly behind the lenses. “Can you believe I can actually read with these?” she asked. The glasses, by modern standards, would remind one of a certain wizard named Harry Potter. The glasses shared the case with a small appointment card.

Woman hits deer because of Bigfoot MOSCOW, Idaho — A northern Idaho woman told police she crashed into a deer because she was distracted by a sasquatch in her rearview mirror. The Moscow-Pullman Daily News reports that the 50-year-old Tensed woman was driving south on U.S. Highway 95 on Wednesday when she struck a deer near Potlatch. The woman told Benewah County Sheriff’s officials that she saw a sasquatch chasing a deer on the side of the road while driving. She says she checked one of her mirrors to get a second look at the beast and when she looked up, the deer ran in front of her. Sheriff’s officials marked the incident as a vehicle versus deer collision but did not report any evidence of Bigfoot.
In the Journal interview, Woolsey says he walked into the middle of a discussion between Turkish officials and members of Flynn’s firm, Flynn Intel Group, late in the evening of Sept. 19 at Essex House hotel in New York City. Woolsey said the discussion generally involved removing cleric Fethullah Gulen from the U.S. without going through the lengthy extradition process, though he said it stopped short of outlining a specific plan to sweep the cleric out of the country. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sought Gulen’s extradition from the U.S. after accusing the cleric of directing a failed coup last summer. The U.S. government has rebuffed that request, and Gulen, who has a green card and lives in Pennsylvania, has denied involvement.
Couple ends up in NY, not Michigan
Flynn’s firm talked of removing cleric WASHINGTON — Former CIA Director James Woolsey has accused the Trump administration’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, of participating in a discussion with Turkish officials about possibly subverting the U.S. extradition process to remove a Turkish cleric from the United States. The Wall Street Journal first reported Woolsey’s comments and posted a video interview with him late Friday . A Flynn spokesman said Friday that Woolsey’s claims are “false” and that “no such discussion occurred.”

Colorado planning for pot crackdown DENVER — Colorado is considering an unusual strategy to protect its nascent marijuana industry from a potential federal crackdown, even at the expense of hundreds of millions of dollars in tax collections. A bill pending in the Legislature would allow pot growers and retailers to reclassify their recreational pot as medical pot if a change in federal law or enforcement occurs. It’s the boldest attempt yet by a U.S. marijuana state to avoid federal intervention in its weed market. The bill would allow Colorado’s 500 or so licensed recreational pot growers to instantly reclassify their weed. A switch would cost the state more than $100 million a year because Colorado taxes medical pot much more lightly than recreational weed — 2.9 percent versus 17.9 percent. The measure says licensed growers could immediately become medical licensees “based on a business need due to a change in local, state or federal law or enforcement policy.” The change wouldn’t take recreational marijuana off the books, but it wouldn’t entirely safeguard it either. What it could do is help growers protect their inventory in case federal authorities start seizing recreational pot.

Millsaps building gets $4M donation JACKSON — A $4 million donation will help renovate a building at Millsaps College. The Selby & Richard McRae Foundation will give the money to help renovate the Christian Center, which was built in the 1950s. The renovation, expected to begin next year, will create new classrooms and office space for the college’s Humanities Division, as well as a 175-seat lecture hall, and a new chapel and chaplain’s offices. The Methodist-affiliated Jackson college, with nearly 1,000 students, will rename the building the Selby and Richard McRae Christian Center. Selby McRae graduated from Millsaps and Richard McRae was a longtime trustee. The children of the family, known for its department store business, now control the foundation.
15-pound boxes of catfish recalled DUNDEE — A Mississippi catfish processor is recalling 1,700 pounds of fish after the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that it contained chemicals banned in fish farming.

The contaminated products are 15-pound boxes of frozen raw whole catfish, fillets, nuggets, steaks and labeled as Lake’s Farm Raised Catfish, with lot codes T-14, T-15, T-16,

State couple among best young farmers WEST POINT — Couples from Mississippi and Georgia are among four couples who have been recognized as among the nation’s best young farmers. Brad and Molly Judson of West Point, Mississippi; and Ben and Julie Anna Boyd of Sylvania, Georgia, took home the awards from the National Outstanding Young Farmers Awards Congress last month in Greenville, South Carolina. According to a video on the Outstanding Farmers of America website, both couples raise a variety or crops. A National Agriculture Week news release from the MSU Extension Service says the Judsons are unique because they work mostly on land they lease rather than inherited land. The National Outstanding Young Farmers award is given each year by Outstanding Farmers of America. Winners are chosen from among 10 finalists.
Oxford considers ordinance change OXFORD — Complimentary cocktails served at any business in Oxford for any reason may soon be a thing of the past. The Oxford Board of Aldermen is considering a proposed ordinance change that would clarify that no for-profit busi-
ness could sell or give away alcohol without a permit from the Alcohol Beverage Control. The proposed update to the city’s alcohol laws was prompted after receiving complaints that four nail salons give away alcoholic drinks to customers, Code Enforcement Officer Johnny Sossoman told The Oxford Eagle. According to the proposed change, allowing businesses to serve alcohol, even free, is in conflict with Mississippi state law. If the board approves the ordinance, businesses would still be able to provide alcohol if using a licensed caterer or if they apply for a brownbag permit. Patterson said the aldermen will discuss the proposed ordinance Tuesday during a work session. The second reading of the proposal and a public hearing will be held at 5 p.m. April 4 at City Hall.
Agency tackles tornado recovery HATTIESBURG — Hattiesburg’s long-term recovery agency, R3SM, is still getting some of its people in place, but officials with the organization say it is ready to take on the huge job of leading three of the four counties hit by the Jan. 21 tornado back from destruction. Sheila Varnado, who retired as the agency’s executive director in 2014, has come back as volunteer chief executive officer. She said R3SM, or Recover, Rebuild, Restore Southeast Mississippi, has a long history of helping the community after a disaster, such as Hurricane Katrina or the 2013 tornado.

Work assignment abroad makes waves back home D E A R ABBY: I took an assignment with my company that posted me to Hong Kong for two Abigail years. My chilVan Buren adult dren, ages 21, 26 and Dear Abby 29, were supportive, although my youngest was not especially happy about it. We video chat with our kids, trying to stay involved as much as possible. We have also visited multiple times. It’s not always ideal, but we try. We have also offered to pay for them to visit us as often as they would like. My company has asked me to stay one more year because I haven’t completely finished what I was sent here to do. I’m inclined to do it. My youngest child, however, is so angry at me for even considering it that she won’t talk to me. She refuses to come and visit, and is punishing me for needing to stay an additional year. Am I choosing my job over my children? -- PROFESSIONAL WOMAN FROM MICHIGAN DEAR PROFESSIONAL WOMAN: Yes, you are, but
there’s a practical reason for it. Also, your adult “children” aren’t children anymore, even though your youngest is acting like one. As a career woman, if you feel you should stay in Hong Kong to complete your assignment, that is what you need to do. DEAR ABBY: I am responding to the letter from “Unsure in the West.” You advised that you “see nothing wrong with what she did” in opening a box in a grocery store and eating some of the contents before paying at the checkout. You should know that legally, eating or using the contents of an unpaid item in the aisle is considered “shoplifting.” The perpetrator can be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I am a certified protection professional. While the intent may not be to “steal,” retailers -- whose industry loses billions of dollars to theft each year -- require that items in their stores be paid for before they can be used or eaten. An employee of mine was assigned to work in a major grocery chain. He took a bottle of eye drops and used them while he was in the aisle. He had taken the exact change from his pocket and was holding it in his hand as he walked to the checkout. Before he could get there,
he was arrested by store security. As a courtesy to me, the chain agreed to reinstate him if he passed a lie-detector test determining his “intent to steal.” (He passed the test.) I strongly recommend that the practice of using or eating items before paying for them never be condoned. -- ALLAN IN YONKERS DEAR ALLAN: I apologize for saying otherwise and thank you for your letter. Other readers also responded to that column citing firsthand experiences working in the retail field. Several of them mentioned that it is impossible to correctly charge for food that is sold by weight if someone has eaten some, such as fruit. Others said that customers sometimes get to the register to pay and realize they have left their wallet at home, or their credit card is rejected. A reader also suggested that if someone wants to pay for food after consuming it, that’s what restaurants are for. In restaurants, if the customer can’t pay, there are dishes to be washed. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). The thing that’s going to solve the problem is simply to press on. You may be educated, strong and talented, too, but those things don’t make so much of a difference today as does dogged determination. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If there’s something interesting to be found in the situation, you’ll find it. Furthermore, the answers given to you by the popular accepted sources will simply not be enough today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When ideas clash in your head, sometimes your stomach or other areas of your body will be affected, as well. Sorting it out in your head will help the rest get sorted out, too. It takes time, so be gentle and patient with yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22). For so many, listening is no different from waiting to talk. They are missing out. You’ll have to work to overcome their attention deficit today. When the information is important, you’ll need to repeat it about five times.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The question will arise as to how competitive you should be with the people around you. If you’re passive and congenial, it’s no fun. But if you’re overly intent on winning, it’s worse. Be mindful and playful and it will all work out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don’t underestimate the power of small groups. Even a group the size of two can accomplish much more than a group the size of one. Even though you’re very independent, at your root you’re a social creature. Don’t forget it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Doing what you’re supposed to do is hardly ever enough in the world of being you. You’re all about the extras. You want to put originality into everything you do; otherwise, your interest level is low. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have control over how many new things you’ll try, and this is a fine time to try quite a few. There will be much available to you at low or no cost, if
you have the time and the curiosity to investigate. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Instead of wondering whether you should give someone the benefit of the doubt, set up the situation differently so you have less at risk and the other person has a better understanding of how to prove worthy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just as soon as you start to get the hang of one thing, you’ll be tempted to jump into the middle of another interesting endeavor. Hold back. Think it over. Better to master the first job than to chase every new intrigue. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Alone time is precious, and you shouldn’t spend all of it doing diligent work. Goof off. That’s what good friends do together; you’re learning to be a good friend to yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Follow your whim. If it brings fast fruit, your life is immediately sweeter. If it doesn’t, you’ll still be richer for the knowledge. Either way, you’ve progressed.

OXFORD — For sophomore quarterback Shea Patterson, everything is starting to click. With eight spring practices in the books, the Ole Miss quarterback is starting to understand just how dangerous he can be in this new Rebel scheme, and that’s making new offensive coordinator Phil Longo happy. “He’s where I’d want him to be at practice No. 8,” Longo said of Patterson. “He’s a gifted passer, and we all know how mobile he is. We’ve got to do a good job at utilizing
both of those things. Mentally, I think every day that goes by, just based on my conversations with him, he gets more and more excited every day, because the light’s coming on. It’s getting brighter and brighter every day. He’s starting to realize how much he can do in the offense.” While Patterson is blossoming in the new offensive system, he’s not the only quarterback who has impressed the new coordinator. Junior Jordan Ta’amu joined the Rebels this spring as one of the top junior college quarterbacks in the nation. Longo
had digested plenty of tape on Ta’amu, but he was even more impressed with the Pearl City, Hawaii, native in person. “Jordan Ta’amu is a legitimate athlete,” Longo said. “He can make all the throws on the field. He’s very athletic, probably more athletic than I had expected him to be. You didn’t quite see that on his film. We’re doing a little bit more with him movement wise and he’s handling that very well. So I’ve been pleased with him so far.” While Ta’amu has been showing off his athleticism at
quarterback, another athletic Rebel QB is exploring a different role entirely. Sophomore Jason Pellerin remains a part of the equation for Ole Miss at quarterback, and he’s also putting his athletic ability and football IQ on display in a unique role as a hybrid tight end. “He’s our third-string quarterback, and he’s a rotating, kind of a hybrid slot/tight end,” Longo said of Pellerin. “We’re using him in a lot of roles, one because he’s bright enough to handle it, and two, Please see OFFENSE | 11A

The Lady Bulldogs were paced in Friday’s win by sophomore Teaira McCowan, who recorded a doubledouble with a career-best
26 points, 12 rebounds and a personal-high six blocks. The Brenham, Texas, native scored 20 of her points in the fourth quarter.

Jim Ellis, longtime Mississippi State announcer and “Voice of the Bulldogs,” was honored this week and presented with a framed No. 34 basketball jersey recognizing his 34 years of service behind the microphone in Starkville. Coach Ben Howland made the presentation. It was all part of the annual Bulldogs Sports Awards Banquet.
Ellis, Weatherspoon, Ready noted at awards banquet Mississippi State Sports Information
STARKVILLE — After posting one of its best seasons in five years and advancing to the second round of the SEC Tournament, Mississippi State officially closed out its 2016-17 campaign on Saturday with the annual awards banquet at the Mize Pavilion. Sophomore All-SEC standout Quinndary Weatherspoon, one of the top scorers in the league, was named the Most Valuable Player, while senior I.J. Ready received
the Inspirational and Top Defensive player awards. “Q had to overcome a lot, especially with injuries,” MSU coach Ben Howland said. “He wanted to play so bad and did everything he could to come back. I couldn’t be more proud of I.J. He was our leader on and off the court and to see what he did for four years is inspirational. He leaves here in the Top 10 of steals and assists, and I know he has a bright future in front of him in coaching, something he really wants to do.”
Also honored Saturday were Aric Holman and Tyson Carter, who received the Most Improved and Coaches Awards, respectively. In addition, Xavian Stapleton was given the Toughness Award after overcoming two knee surgeries that cost him 20 months of basketball. Rounding out the recognition were Lamar Peters and Mario Kegler, who were named Outstanding Freshmen. In statistical categories, Ready took home the free throw shooting and assists
awards, while Holman was tops in rebounds. Eli Wright had the highest 3-pointer percentage, with Schnider Herard was tops in field-goal percentage. Howland also recognized the achievements of Jim Ellis, who’s been behind the mic for MSU basketball the past 34 years, the last six as the “Voice of the Bulldogs.” He was presented with a framed No. 34 jersey for his service. Earlier this month, Ellis announced he was retiring from basketball and football.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The criticism dogged Gonzaga wherever it went, no matter how much it won. The Zags run up their record by beating up on teams in a weak conference, then always seemed to come up short as the calendar went deep into
March. Few outside of Spokane believed the program Mark Few helped build from scratch belonged in the national powerhouse conversation. Overrated no more, Gonzaga is finally headed to the Final Four. Please see FOUR | 12A

he’s just a football player. He’s a playmaker. So we’re going to continue to find ways to put him out there. I’ve got three really good guys in my room at quarterback, and hopefully, they can all contribute.” Pellerin will bolster Ole Miss’ depth at both quarterback and tight end, where the Rebels are looking to fill the shoes of one of their foremost leaders, as well as their most productive pass-catcher from a year ago, Evan Engram. Both on and off the field, Longo is looking to a pair of returning sophomores, Octavious Cooley and Dawson Knox, to help fill the void. “Cooley is a physical specimen and he plays that way,” Longo said. “We’re going to isolate a specific role for him and use him as much as we can. You rely on the offensive line and the tight ends to be physical, and he’s definitely that.” While Cooley has impressed with his physicality, the all-around game of Knox has Longo excited about his tight end room. “Dawson Knox has been, in my opinion, one
of the brightest spots in camp,” Longo said. “The coaches who have been here are well aware of what he’s capable of. I’ve had the pleasure of watching him develop through the first eight practices, and I think he’s one of the weapons we’ll be utilizing this year. He’s a work-ethic guy. He’s a leader. With his height and the way he runs, it’s a mismatch problem for people.” The Rebel offense has done well to impress its new coach through eight practices, but the work is only just beginning for this 2017 squad. “I think when we go live or up-tempo, I’ve been happy with how fast we’re moving and how quickly we’re making decisions,” Longo said. “I’m happy with how physical we are up front. Receivers coach Jacob Peeler has done an excellent job with press/releases. The defense challenges us with that every day, so that has been a bright spot. Our running backs are running downhill, low pad-level. They’ve been very physical so far. I thought we were where we needed to be in Day 4, and I think we’re where we need to be in Day 8 now.”

NOTICE
NEW ORLEANS — The tide may be finally turning for Blue Mountain baseball in the SSAC as the Toppers took their first ever series from Loyola (16-20, 2-7 SSAC) on Saturday, winning 4-2 in a rain-shortened, six-inning scrap. A series that has eluded them since its inception finally went the Toppers’ way, as Caleb Leach, a junior from Lakeland, Florida, teed off on Wolfpack pitching going 3-for-3 with a home run, double and single. Blue Mountain starting pitcher Josh Letson, a junior from Birmingham, Alabama, (3-2) has put together solid outings in his last two starts without a decision, but Saturday he finally picked up the win going six innings, giving up one earned run on three hits and notching two Ks. Blue Mountain put together a run in each inning except the first and fifth, with Leach’s solo shot coming in the top of the third. It was his fifth homer on the season. The top of the second saw Thomas Moore, a freshman from Blue

Springs, double in Friday’s hero, Josh Whitaker, a senor from Corinth, tying the game at 1-1. Blue Mountain started to pull away in the fourth, as Miciah Heard, a junior from Thaxton, who finished with three hits, singled to left scoring Zack Poteete, a freshman from Houston, Mississippi. In the sixth, Leach drove in Heard with a single to left and that would be all Blue Mountain would need to seal it for the win. The win improves Blue Mountain’s record to 2212, 6-6 SSAC on the season, and gives them three straight SSAC series wins. “This was a team win, and we’re thankful to get our third consecutive conference series,” BMC head coach Curt Fowler said. “Caleb continues to be a beast at the plate and Letson is still his dependable self on the mound. We look forward to continuing to grow as a team.” The Toppers return to the diamond for a nonconference doubleheader against Freed-Hardeman University on Tuesday at Topper Field in Blue Mountain at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
The Zags took the pressure of history head on with a performance worthy of their No. 1 seed, rolling to a dominating 83-59 win over Xavier in the West Region final on Saturday that should silence those critics. “Just an incredible feeling of elation and satisfaction,” Few said. “It’s been a long, hard journey to get this program here.” Few and the Zags have won the West Coast Conference Tournament 16 times, been regulars in the NCAA Tournament since 1999, reached the Sweet 16 eight times. The Final Four was the only missing piece to their resume. The Zags (36-1) claimed their spot in Arizona and history with a superb allaround game, showing off their usual offensive efficiency while flexing the smothering type of defense that had previously been the chink in their armor. Gonzaga made 12 of 24 shots from 3-point range after struggling the first three NCAA Tournament games. The Zags were No. 1 in defensive efficiency during the regular season and shut down the underdog and 11th-seeded Musketeers (2414) to become the first WCC team to reach the Final Four in 60 years. Nigel Williams-Goss scored 23 points while orchestrating Gonzaga’s efficient offense after struggling against West Virginia. Johnathan Williams added 19 points and center Przemek Karnowski, who was still recovering from back surgery a year ago, created open perimeter looks with his deft passing out of the post. Now the Zags are headed to the desert, where they’ll play the winner between South Carolina and Florida in next week’s Final Four.
Oregon beats Kansas to punch Final Four ticket KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tyler Dorsey poured in 27 points, Dillon Brooks added 17 and plucky Oregon ended Kansas’ romp through the NCAA Tournament with a 74-60 victory Saturday night that gave the Ducks their first Final Four trip in nearly 80 years. Dylan Ennis added 12 points for the Ducks (335), who took the lead with
16 minutes left in the first half and never trailed again, giving coach Dana Altman his first trip to the national semifinals. They’ll face the winner of Sunday’s game between North Carolina and Kentucky in Glendale, Arizona. Player of the year frontrunner Frank Mason III had 21 points in his final game for the Jayhawks (31-5), who had rolled to the Elite Eight by an average margin of 30 points. But their dream season ended with a thud just 40 minutes from campus on a night where very little went right. Star freshman Josh Jackson was mired in early foul trouble. Sharpshooting guard Devonte Graham never got on track. And the swagger that the Big 12 champs showed in humiliating Purdue in the Sweet 16 quickly became a distant memory on a night that belonged to the Pac-12 champions. Altman had never been to the Final Four in 13 appearances in the NCAA Tournament. And the last time the Ducks were on the big stage, it was 1939 and the Tall Firs took home the title. Jordan Bell added 11 points, 13 rebounds and eight blocks for Oregon, while Jackson was held to 10 points for the Jayhawks in what was almost certainly his final college game. The bus carrying the Ducks to Sprint Center on Saturday passed right by the Power and Light District in downtown Kansas City, where thousands of Jayhawk fans were rallying hours before the tipoff. In other words, they knew they were facing a de facto road game. But the torrid shooting of Brooks, Ennis and Dorsey quickly riled up the small section of Oregon fans while deflating the rest of sold-out Sprint Center. And foul trouble that sent Jackson to the bench for much of the first half helped allow the Ducks carve out a comfortable lead. Dorsey finished the half with back-to-back 3s, including a deep bank shot at the buzzer, as the Ducks pranced to their locker room relishing in a 44-33 advantage. They kept right on dancing in the second half, beating the Jayhawks at their own game: Getting into transition, passing up good shots for better ones and knocking down 3-pointers.

Conservation ed manager educates others at center BY ANDY BELT
“They have a whole saying about a bird in hand. But literally having a bird in hand changed my entire perspective on what I wanted to do.”
The Oxford Eagle
(This first appeared in the Oxford Eagle and was distributed by the Associated Press.) HOLLY SPRINGS — At first glance, Mitch Robinson’s job seems like a walk in the park. But Robinson is busy. As the Conservation Education Manager at Strawberry Plains Audubon Center in Holly Springs, the 32-year-old Mississippi native spends his days surrounded by nature and educating people about what’s living in their North Mississippi backyards. Though he now lives in the Magnolia State, Robinson didn’t always want to be here. “I was pretty disenchanted as a teenager,” Robinson remembers. “I went to the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science in Columbus hoping that would give me the opportunity to go to school out of state. I ended up going to the University of the South, Sewanee. I had no intention of studying anything science. I planned to go the opposite route and do philosophy and religion.” A college friend of his recommended that Robinson take an introduction to Geology course which ultimately shaped the rest of his studies. He graduated in 2007, with a B.S. in Natural Resources and Environment which led to many outdoors related gigs for the next seven years. Robinson hopped all across the country- from Portland, Oregon to Savannah, Georgia to Austin, Texas. While in Texas, he worked on a small wilderness preserve that would later be bought by a liberal arts university. Suddenly, Robinson, who had a part-time job there, inherited a whole new host of responsibilities including being the education coordinator, the land manager, the interim director and “everything else that needed to be done there.” “That was probably one of the most stressful, but enjoyable times in my life,” Robinson said. “I learned a lot about asking for help and being humble enough to say, ‘I don’t know these things.’ I learned about land management and worked with some of the best biologists in the country.” While in Austin, Robinson also learned about the practice of banding and tracking birds. “They have a whole saying about a bird in hand,” he said. “But literally having a bird in hand changed my entire perspective on what I wanted to do.”

Mitch Robinson Conservation Education Manager The stresses of living in a big city eventually got to Robinson, and in 2013 he decided to move back to his home state. He interviewed for an open position at Strawberry Plains and received a call back from them soon after on his drive home back to Oxford where he was staying at the time: he got the job. On Jan. 2, 2014, he started his first day there. “(Strawberry Plains) is an asset that has so much history,” Robinson said. “It’s also a resource for the people of northern Mississippi. I feel privileged to work there and try to bring it to the level of opportunity that it is certainly capable of. We’ve got 3,000 acres of habitat there, wetlands, forest, ponds and a variety of bird species which in modern times are becoming more uncommon because of the way we manage our grasslands and other areas.” One of the main bird species that are studied at the center is the hummingbird. Aside from Strawberry Plains’ annual Hummingbird Festival in the fall, the facility studies the tiny creatures yearround. “Hummingbirds are something that I’ve grown pretty fond of,” Robinson said. “Part of the gig is learning the life cycles of hummingbirds. They’re just such a celebrity in the wildlife in the area that it’s easy way to get people in the door. They help to highlight the importance of native plants.” Robinson says that Strawberry Plains thrives because of its volunteers and its small staff of four who run it daily. He also credits Ruth Finley and Margaret FinleyShackelford, who entrusted the former plantation to the Audubon Society. “It speaks to what it takes for a community to make something a success,” he said. “We were very fortunate that the sisters were such forward-thinking women to leave the land for the public’s enjoyment. We try to carry that legacy on every day.”

Mama calls you her little ducky. She says she loves you and you really know it. You know because she takes care of you, makes sure you’ve got snacks and toys, teaches you, and keeps you safe. Mama loves you very much, and in the new book “Love Is” by Diane Adams, illustrated by Claire Keane, you’ll see how love works. When you were just a little baby, almost no bigger than a duckling and very breakable, Mama snuggled you and comforted you when you were scared. Time and again, she got out of bed in the middle of the night to feed you, or to hold you when you cried. Maybe you even slept right next her all night long. Like a soft baby duck, you were tucked in snug and woke with the sun. That was when Mama gave you breakfast, cleaned up after you, and gave you a bath. You took to the water like, well, just like a duck.
Program features famous Mississippi quotes David Crews, an Oxford resident and a bona fide renaissance man, will be a guest at the Overby Center for Southern Journalism and Politics at 6 p.m. next Monday, March 27, to talk about his collection of intriguing – and sometimes odd – quotes from Mississippians. In a conversation with the center’s chairman, Charles Overby, Crews will elaborate on his recently published “The Mississippi Book of Quotations” in the fourth of a spring series of programs dedicated to Mississippi during the celebration of its 200th anniversary of statehood. “David collects quotes the way some guys collect baseball cards,” said Overby. “Mississippians are great at talking and David has put together comments that are inspiring, outrageous and funny. The stories he tells behind the quotes are fascinating.” The event, which will be held in the Overby Center Auditorium on the Ole Miss campus, is free and open to the public. A reception will be held afterward, and arrangements for parking have been made for the lot adjacent to the auditorium. Over the years, Crews saved quotes from politicians and writers as well as musicians and athletes,
dozens of which have become favorites. Such as: “It’s hard to remember the truth when there’s so much truth to remember.” “It was uttered by a witness during a federal trial in my court,” said Crews. “That is a line that is simultaneously true, amusing, and bordering on perjury. What’s not to like about a line that incorporates truth, humor, and perjury.” He is now the chief clerk for the U.S. District Courts in North Mississippi, but enjoys a statewide reputation as a raconteur and an authority on many things “Mississippi.” After graduating from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn., he taught American history for a year and worked for two years as a newspaper reporter. In the early 1980s, he was a young yet valuable aide to Gov. William Winter while informally doubling as an adventurous traveler and a student of literature. He developed friendships with most of the prominent writers in Mississippi’s modern history. While living in Jackson, he made stealthy deliveries of the daily New York Times to the door step of Eudora Welty to save her the trouble of finding the newspaper at her neighborhood grocery. (Determined to find who was
Cryptoquip
responsible for the magic, she caught him in the act one morning.) As a child, he even encountered William Faulkner – after the Nobel Prize-winning novelist spotted him stealing apples from an orchard. He was a buddy of the late Willie Morris. He was also part of a cast of characters who banged about China and beyond 30 years ago. A fellow Mississippian, Stuart Stevens, a travel writer and political analyst, wrote about their trip in his book, “Night Train to Turkistan.” Crews has hiked all 450 miles of the Natchez Trace and climbed the tallest mountain in the Western Hemisphere. More recently, he produced a documentary which won a regional Emmy Award. His father, the late John Crews, was a popular professor of English literature at Ole Miss. His wife, Claire, is a teacher in the Oxford School District. They are the parents of twins. To round out his unconventional profile, he carried a gun for nearly eight years while tracking down fugitives as the chief U.S. marshal in north Mississippi during the Clinton administration. Of his varied background, Crews said, “My brother contends all of this is evidence I can’t hold a job.”
I absolutely saw this book as something a mom will hold dear, and that’s because author Diane Adams and illustrator Claire Keane have created a story that speaks loudly to a mother’s love. The little girl in this book is adorable, and her concern for the duckling she finds is so incredibly sweet. As you grew, Mama sat with you to watch your favorite TV shows. She played with you and taught you games. She made sure you didn’t fall and she helped you to be brave when you didn’t want to be brave at all. She made sure you were strong and smart – definitely smart enough to start doing things all by yourself. Much as she loves spending time with you, there’s something Mama doesn’t like to think about: one day, you’ll be a big grown kid and
though you’ll still need your Mama, you’ll go off to college, get married, and maybe have a little ducky of your own. That means Mama will miss you and she might be a bit sad. Ah, but you’ll be back. You love Mom just as much as she loves you. It’s just that “even ducklings, like the seasons, have to change.” But some things never change. Like love, they stay the same forever - and sometimes, they “grow some, too.” Let me surprise you here: “Love Is” isn’t merely a book for small children. No, really. I absolutely saw this book as something a mom will hold dear, and that’s because author Diane Adams and illustrator Claire Keane have created a story that speaks loudly to a mother’s love. The little girl
Crossword
in this book is adorable, and her concern for the duckling she finds is so incredibly sweet. Keane perfectly portrays the loving care she gives to her new baby, while Adams moves the story forth, telling a human tale in the form of a little rhyme to match the artwork. We see the wistfulness of the girl as she realizes that she must let her duckling go, the sadness of knowing she did the only right thing, and the joyfulness when the baby returns to the apart-nest. There’s no doubt in my mind that 3-to-5-yearolds will love a readaloud of this book but the real audience is with new mothers and moms-tobe. For them, “Love Is” is everything it’s quacked up to be.

Chicken salad and strawberry congealed salad will be served Assorted cakes, tea and coffee will be served with each meal. The cost for the lunch is $6 per person with proceeds going to support local and state mission projects.
