Third-grade reading to be addressed BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A Mississippi Department of Education literacy coach will visit Alcorn County to help parents prepare children to clear

the new third-grade reading gate. The Alcorn School District is hosting an informational session for parents at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the board room of the

Alcorn School District administrative offices at 31 County Road 401. The district arranged for Literacy Coach Emily Eaton to meet with parents about the Third Grade Summative As-

sessment, which students must pass to advance to the fourth grade. “We are inviting parents of kindergarten through thirdgrade students to give them

an opportunity to be informed about the assessment by a representative of MDE,” said Superintendent Gina Rogers Please see READING | 6A

Annual egg hunt draws big crowd BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Hundreds of smiling children, holding tightly to their Easter baskets, hunted for brightly colored eggs at the Crossroads Regional Park on Saturday. The 11th Annual Community Egg Hunt presented by Fox Promotions gave parents and their kids a fun day in the park. Three-year-old Ellarae Michael, who dressed as a fairy for the event, hoped to collect five eggs during the hunt. “She has been talking about the egg hunt all week,” said her mom, Jacelynn. “She’s so Please see HUNT | 14A

BRIDGE CONTINUED FROM 1A

Repeated weather delays have pushed the road’s reopening to months later than anticipated. The asphalt must cure 10 days before striping, and there is also shoulder work to complete. Funded through the state aid program with a bid price of $313,129, the project included a bridge replacement with a double box culvert. The bridge clears a creek in a marshy area plagued by beaver dams. Cars and trucks can frequently be seen ap-

proaching the closed area and having to backtrack. “I know it’s been aggravating for the people, and we hate that,” said First District Supervisor Lowell Hinton. “But it was a job that had to be done.” Safety had become a big concern. The old bridge had collapsed about six years ago, and the fix that was performed at the time was not a long-term one. The old bridge was also rather narrow for some of the big vehicles that use the road. Many trucks loaded with pulpwood from PCA are among the heavy traffic that uses the road.

take part free of charge. A $3.50 processing fee will be charged for those who use a credit or debt card to register online. Runners who register by April 13 are guaranteed of receiving a race package which includes T-shirt, sunglasses and one individual packet of color powder paint. Registration completed after April 13 is not guaranteed of receiving a race package. “Funds collected from the run will be used to provide ongoing programs and events to encourage children with autism and their families to be active,” said Essary. “Our goal is to implement and provide greater family support systems such as family support nights where families can learn and grow.” The run is being partnered by Region IV Mental Health, Nfusion and Corinth/Alcorn Parks & Recreation.

“We have already decided to make it an annual event,” said Essary. Sponsorships range from $50 to $2,500. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social impairments, cognitive impairments, communication difficulties and repetitive behaviors. It can range from very mild to very severe and occur in all ethnic, socioeconomic and age groups. Males are four times more likely to have autism than females. Some children with autism appear normal before age one or two and then suddenly regress and lose language or social skills they had previously gained. This is called the regressive type of autism. The disorder, which effects 1 in 88 children, greatly varies from person to person with no two people with autism alike. (For more information about the color run go online at reconnect4autism.com.)

The Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen will hold a regular meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday. The agenda includes: ■ Proclamation for spina bifida ■ Continued adjudication hearings for 1421 Cruise, 1431 Cruise and Kemp/Paden property ■ Continued discussion of C-3 zoning ordinance changes ■ Consider advertising for bids on supplies and services ■ Reports of the department heads ■ Solid waste bids ■ Short-term plan (street department) ■ Earthcon invoice ■ Request to remove tree in Mitchell Mask subdivision at 915 Fillmore Street ■ REV Construction invoices ■ Cook Coggin invoice ■ Comcast service agreement ■ Budget amendment of $400,000 for street work ■ Feasibility study ■ Consider value on AbilityWorks building ■ Board of adjustment and planning commission recommendations ■ Minutes from March 3 and March 10 meetings

Booneville investigation leads to drug arrests

Today is Easter Sunday, April 5, the 95th day of 2015. There are 270 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On April 5, 1965, “My Fair Lady” won the Academy Award for best picture, and one of its stars, Rex Harrison, was named best actor; Julie Andrews won best actress for “Mary Poppins.” The single version of The Beach Boys’ “Help Me, Rhonda” was released by Capitol Records.

BOONEVILLE — A two-month investigation by Booneville Police Department Criminal Investigation Division and Prentiss County Narcotics officers into the distribution of illegal narcotics has resulted in three felony arrests. Booneville Police Chief Michael Ramey said those arrested Monday, March 23 and Tuesday, March 24 were: ■ Cruz Nunn, 27, of 105 Lakeview Drive, Booneville, charged with two counts sale of crack cocaine within 1,500 feet of a church. He was also charged with possession of firearm by a convicted felon. His bond was set at $100,000. ■ John Nunn, aka John Spencer, 53, of 103 Bell Avenue, Booneville,

charged with sale of crack cocaine within 1,500 feet of a church. “During his arrest approximately $300 cash and a Dodge Charger car were seized,” Ramey said. His bond was set at $50,000. ■ Corey Wicks, 17, of 100 Robinson Circle, Booneville, sale of controlled substance within 1,500 feet of a church. His bond was $50,000.

Guntown residents charged with meth posession BOONEVILLE — On Monday, March 30, Prentiss County Deputies arrested two individuals after they were stopped at a roadside safety checkpoint in the Ingram Community. They were identified as Jerry Wayne Potts, 29, and Lindsey Scruggs, 29, both of Guntown. Both were charged with felony possession of methamphetamine and other misdemeanor charges. Their bonds were set at $5,000 on the felony possession of controlled substance charges.

On this date: In 1887, in Tuscumbia, Alabama, teacher Anne Sullivan achieved a breakthrough as her 6-year-old deaf-blind pupil, Helen Keller, learned the meaning of the word “water” as spelled out in the Manual Alphabet. In 1925, a tornado estimated at F-3 intensity struck northern MiamiDade County, Florida, killing five people. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order creating the Civilian Conservation Corps and an anti-hoarding order that effectively prohibited private ownership of gold. In 1955, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill resigned his office for health reasons. Democrat Richard J. Daley was first elected mayor of Chicago, defeating Republican Robert E. Merriam. In 1976, during an outdoor demonstration against court-ordered school busing in Boston, a white teenager swung a pole holding an American flag at a black attorney in a scene captured in a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph by Stanley Forman of the Boston Herald American. In 1986, two American servicemen and a Turkish woman were killed in the bombing of a West Berlin discotheque, an incident which prompted a U.S. air raid on Libya more than a week later. In 1991, former Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, his daughter Marian and 21 other people were killed in a plane crash near Brunswick, Georgia.

No tax cuts, but other issues survive ’15 session BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers finished their threemonth session last week and returned home with plenty of campaign fodder as most of the 122 House members and 52 senators seek re-election. The parties were sharply divided on the biggest headline grabber of the session — tax-cut proposals that failed. Republicans hold a majority in both chambers, and they pushed to reduce franchise and income taxes. House Democrats rallied enough votes to block those efforts, arguing that the state needs to hold onto money to pay for schools, highways, health care and other services. It takes a three-fifths majority in both chambers to increase or decrease taxes, and Republicans couldn’t persuade enough Democrats for form an alliance in the House. “I think we have seen real improvement in government, a real distinction between Republicans and Democrats,” House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, told reporters as the threemonth session ended Thursday. “I think a bright line has been drawn between the priorities of the two.” House Democratic Leader Bobby Moak of Bogue Chitto said the nearly $6.3 billion budget that lawmakers adopted showed that the tax cut efforts were a political ploy. Many state agencies, including the Department of Corrections, received less money than they requested for the year that starts July 1. While Republican leaders say education is receiving record levels of spending, critics point out that a school budget formula

is underfunded by $201 million. “All the talk about tax decreases, tax credits, tax giveaways was just political-year talk,” Moak said. “It was proven by their own actions that there was not money to do that.” Here’s a look at some of what legislators passed and killed:

ing or other education services outside the public schools. Bryant plans to sign the bill, which would become law immediately. ■ Guns — Senate Bill 2394 would eliminate the need for a concealed-carry license to have a gun in a purse, briefcase or enclosed satchel. It also would reduce the fee for a new concealed-carry license to $80 from $100, and the renewal fee for people younger than 65 would drop to $40 from $50. For people 65 and older, the renewal fee would drop to $20 from $25. Bryant plans to sign the bill, which becomes law July 1. ■ Hospital boards — Senate Bill 2407 would require boards of publicly owned hospitals to keep most of their meetings open to the public. The boards could hold closed meetings to discuss patient information, competitive business matters or employment contracts for physicians and other workers. The bill was filed in response to losses in the Singing River Hospital pension program. Problems existed for months before becoming publicly known, partly because the hospital board was meeting in private. Bryant says he intends to go to the Gulf Coast to sign the bill, which will become law Jan. 1. ■ Prison employees — Senate Bill 2804 would remove civilservice protection from Mississippi Department of Corrections employees for one year, making it easier for the corrections commissioner to hire or fire workers. If Bryant signs the bill, it would become law July 1. ■ Longterm trusts — House Bill 153 will allow people to put real estate into trusts for up to 110 years and money, stocks or other financial assets into trusts

Passed ■ Texting and driving — House Bill 389 will ban people from texting or using social media sites on a cellphone or other hand-held electronic device while driving. The fine will be $25 the first year the law is in effect and $100 after that. Gov. Phil Bryant has signed the bill, which becomes law July 1. ■ Inspection stickers — House Bill 982 will eliminate the $5 annual vehicle inspection sticker, starting July 1. Drivers with tinted windows will still need to get a one-time inspection. Bryant has signed the bill. ■ Education spending — Senate Bill 2258 would tighten sanctions against schools where cheating occurs. The state Board of Education could issue subpoenas to investigate cheating on standardized tests. School principals would be required to swear that tests were given following state rules, and they would have to report all potential violations. If Bryant signs it, the bill would become law immediately. ■ Special education vouchers — Senate Bill 2695 would create $6,500-a-year vouchers for up to 500 special-education students the first year. The program would increase by 500 a year until it reaches 2,500 students. Money could go toward private school tuition, tutor-

■ Vaccinations— House Bill 130 would have let a doctor grant a patient’s request for an exemption to vaccination requirements to enter school or day care, without seeking permission from the state Department of Health. People who are skeptical about childhood vaccination schedules sought the change. Opposition came from the state health officer, Dr. Mary Currier, who said the Health Department already grants exemptions. The bill passed a House committee but died without coming up for a vote in the full House. ■ Home school sports — Senate Bill 2329, called the “Tim Tebow Act,” would have allowed home-schooled students to participate in sports, cheerleading and other extracurricular activities at a local public school. It was named for the Heismanwinning quarterback who was home-schooled but played public school sports in Florida. The bill was defeated in the Senate. ■ Church buses — House Bill 132 would have exempted drivers of church buses with 30 or fewer seats from the requirement to have a commercial driver’s license. Dubbed the “Jesus, take the wheel” bill, it passed the House but died in the Senate Judiciary B Committee. ■ Primaries — House Bill 1069 would have made it a misdemeanor to vote or try to vote in another party’s primary. It passed the House and died in the Senate Judiciary A Committee.

Corinth, Miss.

Our View

School trustees should give land to Siege & Battle We suggest the Corinth School District give the parcels of land it owns at the closed West Corinth Elementary School property to the Siege and Battle of Corinth Commission for a nominal fee. The Corinth Mayor and Board of Aldermen did the right thing by giving the main school property to Siege and Battle last June. We say “give” because the $1,499 price paid was far below market value. We hope school trustees follow suit. The board of trustees last week learned about the district’s options for conducting the sale but did not take action to set the process in motion. The district has three parcels that encompass the playground area and a lot that sits to the east of the playground. At this point, the property is of no value to the school district, which faces the continuing expense of upkeep of the property, Superintendent Lee Childress told school trustee. The Siege and Battle of Corinth Commission remains interested in acquiring these neighboring lots for use in interpretation of the Battle of Corinth. The parcels would likely be green space with some signage, noted Childress. Attorney Bill Davis told school trustees the district has the option of advertising the property for bids in the usual fashion or, “if the purpose for which it is to be conveyed is to foster the social, cultural, educational, economic, etc., benefit of the community, then you can dispose of the property in whatever terms suits you in whatever manner, even if it’s for nominal consideration.” The key words here are “cultural” and “educational”, which gives the school district the green light to make Siege and Battle owners of all of the land parcels near the old school. A reverter clause would be required, bringing it back to the district’s ownership if it ceases to be used for that cultural purpose. The school district holds a warranty deed on the property from the Corinth Urban Renewal Agency. When Siege and Battle purchased the main school lot, it gave the group key battlefield land neighboring the National Park Service’s Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center on Linden Street. That property had reverted to city ownership when it was no longer used as a school. Should school trustees follow suit and do the right thing, the entire area would be protected from development. It is our dream that all of the school property will one day be given to the National Park Service. A grant from the Civil War Trust could help remove the building, paving the way for trails and signage to interpret what happened there during the Battle of Corinth. Confederate troops approached Battery Robinett in October 1862 from the area where the school and playground sit today. There were many casualties. It is sacred ground and would enhance visitors’ experience in relation to the nearby interpretive center. We all need to be champions of historic preservation.

A better 2016 agenda “In your heart you know he’s right,” was Barry Goldwater’s presidential campaign slogan in 1964. The critics of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who announced Monday he is running for president, are effectively saying of him: “In your head you know he’s nuts.” Even before his announcement, Cruz was labeled with the typical modifiers the left uses to scare people who don’t pay much attention to politics – extreme, far right, out of the mainstream. In the run-up to the next election, the left and their media colleagues will try to fool Republicans into nominating a mushy moderate from the party’s establishment wing. You know, someone like “President John McCain,” or “President Mitt Romney.” They know that if the GOP falls for this line again, conservatives will stay home and Hillary Clinton will be the next president. What the establishment and the left really dislike about Cruz is that he paints in bold colors. You know where he stands, whether or not you agree with his positions. There is little chance Cruz will say one thing on Monday and reverse himself on Tuesday to placate a dif-

ferent audience. Weak men fear strong men (and strong women) because the strong expose their weakness. Better for the weak to eliminate the strong and hide among other weak people. Cruz will face a problem similar to that of a TV evangelist: competing for dollars and votes from a fixed number of voters. When Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL.) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY.) jump into the race, perhaps followed by Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Dr. Ben Carson, all will seek money and votes from the same donor pool. None of these men knows how to unite conservatives much less the independents that those experienced in politics believe one must attract to win. Here’s some advice, not only for Cruz, but for the other would-be candidates: Instead of nonstop attacks on President Obama, adopt a positive and future-ori-

ented agenda. Cruz and the other candidates can start by considering some uplifting new videos created by Bob Woodson, president of the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI.), who recently accompanied Woodson on a tour of some of America’s poverty pockets. They spoke with people once consdered beyond redemption, but who have turned their lives around. The result is a just released seven-part online video series called “Comeback” (www.opportunitylives.com/comeback/). The series highlights stories about drug addicts, alcoholics, abusers, gamblers, prostitutes and others, who with inspiration, motivation and perspiration are now inspiring others to pull themselves up and out of dire circumstances without help from the government. In fact, some of those inter-

viewed say they had been through many government programs and that none of them helped. While “Comeback” is partly Ryan’s brainchild, the series is not about him, or Republicans. It’s about overcomers who do the work necessary to escape poverty and addiction. The trailer concludes with this question from Woodson: “What do you think is the answer to poverty? Well, let me show you what I saw.” There isn’t a one-size-fitsall answer to poverty and the videos show people addressing different challenges in creative ways. These approaches should not be the exclusive property of one political party or candidate. Focusing on what works is better than ideological bomb-throwing, as even Hillary Clinton suggested in recent remarks. Woodson and Ryan have created something that could shift the political debate for 2016, if Cruz and the other candidates listen and get the attention of those voters who are disgusted with a dysfunctional and costly federal government.

The more Hillary struggles, the worse it gets

A verse to share “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” — 2 Chronicles 7:14

What the establishment and the left really dislike about Cruz is that he paints in bold colors. You know where he stands, whether or not you agree with his positions.

A CBS Poll conducted at the end of March shows that Americans accept, for now, Hillary Clinton’s explanation of why she kept all her emails on a non-government server. While 62 percent feel it was “inappropriate” to do so, they largely buy her explanation of why she did so. Forty-nine percent accept that it was just for the convenience of not having to use two devices while 38 percent suspect that she wanted to conceal their content. But Hillary has, in effect, stepped into quicksand. The more she struggles to keep her server and emails private, the more voters will

believe she used a separate server to cover them up. Her explanation that she did so out of “convenience” will wear thin with each subpoena battle, court order and instance of Clinton stonewalling. More broadly, the CBS News poll, taken in the wake of the email scandal (poll dates: March 21-23) show that Hillary’s popularity is underwater nationally, with only 26 percent viewing her favorably and 37 percent holding an unfavorable opinion. This 11-point deficit contrasts with a 5-point net positive rating by CBS during the fall of 2015 when her ratings were 38 to 33. Particularly important are Hillary’s abysmal ratings among Independents,

where she has a 36 percent unfavorable and only a 19 percent favorable. Is she “honest and trustworthy”? Americans as a whole say no, 42 to 47 percent, while Independents give her a scorching negative of 34 to 52 percent. With only one Independent voter in three finding her honest or trustworthy, there is clearly big trouble ahead for Hillary as she announces her candidacy. Reports of Clinton wealth and massive speaking fees, often from foreign nations, has led to a sharp drop in the perception that she “cares about the needs and problems of people like you” from 73 to 25 in the fall of 2013, to 56 to 39 now. But, by its very nature,

the more the emails are litigated, the more sinister Hillary’s motivation for concealment will appear. Will she survive the email scandal? Of course she will. Nixon survived the White House tapes scandal. It was what was on those tapes that forced his resignation. And so it is with Hillary. When we all learn the real reason she concealed the emails, she will fall all the harder for our sense of disillusion.

Gay rights rally held at Final Four site INDIANAPOLIS — Hundreds of people calling for Indiana to add protections for gays and lesbians to state civil rights laws marched through downtown Indianapolis, drawing the attention of fans attending the NCAA Final Four basketball tournament. March organizer Dominic Dorsey II began Saturday’s gathering on the city’s Monument Circle by leading the crowd in chanting “Hoosiers don’t discriminate! — No more Band-Aids masking hate!” That chant referenced changes lawmakers made this week to Indiana’s new religious objections law to address concerns that it would allow discrimination against gays and lesbians.

Kasich’s personality may hurt prospects MANCHESTER, N.H. — As Ohio Gov. John Kasich considers a 2016 Republican presidential race, his friends and foes are watching to see if his unfiltered personality will help or hurt him. One longtime adviser to the governor, JoAnn Davidson, says his unorthodox style excites those around him and gets things done. She calls it his “boyish enthusiasm.” Others, even within his own party, wonder if Kasich’s blunt, sometimes impatient approach will last long under national scrutiny.

During a panel discussion with other governors — even while his colleagues were talking — Kasich wandered the stage as if bored.

Board: Gym may be discriminatory NEW YORK — New York City’s Human Rights Commission says an apartment house’s policy of letting only high-paying tenants use its gym may be discriminatory. A notice filed Thursday says there’s enough evidence of age discrimination to merit a hearing on the Stonehenge Village complex’s gym rule. According to tenant Jean Green Dorsey’s complaint, the rent-regulated tenants excluded from the gym are largely over 65, while market-rate tenants aren’t. Green Dorsey said Friday says she’s hopeful the landlord will now let rent-stabilized tenants pay to use the gym. They’ve been barred altogether.

Sioux tribe leader Jandreau dies at 71 SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Michael Jandreau, who as the leader of South Dakota’s Lower Brule Sioux Tribe for at least 35 years was known for a variety of economic development projects but had recently faced allegations of financial wrongdoing, died Friday. He was 71. Jandreau died from complications from pneumonia and heart disease at Sanford Hospital in Sioux Falls, said tribal at-

torney Marshall Matz, of Washington, D.C. “We have lost a visionary Tribal leader who was widely respected throughout the State of South Dakota and the nation,” Matz said in an email to The Associated Press. Jandreau was elected to the Lower Brule Tribal Council in the early 1970s and by 1980 was chairman. He earned praise from tribal members and state and federal leaders for economic development projects that benefited the 1,300 Native Americans who live on the tribe’s reservation along the Missouri River.

Court: Yoga doesn’t bend religion rules SAN DIEGO — A California appeals court says yoga taught in San Diego County schools doesn’t violate religious freedom. The 4th District Court of Appeal on Friday upheld a trial court ruling that rejected a lawsuit by parents who tried to block Encinitas schools from teaching yoga. The court says that while yoga may be religious in some contexts, there’s no evidence the program at Encinitas Union School District has religious, mystical or spiritual trappings. The lawsuit was brought by parents of two students who claimed the practice promoted Hinduism and inhibited Christianity. The school district says the practice is taught in a secular way to promote strength, flexibility and balance.

Man denied bond on charges in slayings PHILADELPHIA — A Crystal Springs man is being held without bond after being charged with two counts of murder in Neshoba County. The Neshoba Democrat reports that 31-yearold Billy Jerald Mclain was denied bond during an initial court appearance this week. Sheriff’s Investigator Ralph Sciple says Mclain is charged in the shooting deaths of Gilbert Anthony Woodis and his son, Brandon Lee Woodis in the County Line community on March 27. Sciple says Mclain had been staying in the Woodis’ home for about two weeks. County Medical Examiner Allen Collins says the son died of blunt force head trauma and a gunshot wound. The father died of a single gunshot wound.

Police chief resigns after two months VERONA — Two months after he was hired, Verona’s police chief has quit. Bill Johnson tells WTVA-TV that the Board of Aldermen makes it impossible for him to do his job. Mayor Robert Trice said Friday that he was surprised by the move. Chief Investigator J.B. Long says he was shocked. Trice says Johnson was doing a fine job, but doesn’t understand small-town polics. He says that in a small

New Albany expands natural gas service NEW ALBANY — Legislation to allow the cityowned New Albany Gas System to expand its service area has been signed by Gov. Phil Bryant. Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley says in a new release that parts of Union and Marshall counties do not have natural gas now. He says legislative approval was required before the city could provide service five miles outside its borders and to expand the service area. The areas targeted for expansion are eastern Union County and south of Potts Camp in Marshall County. New Albany Light, Gas and Water Manager Bill Mattox says the first project likely will be a seven-mile loop along Mississippi Highway 349.

Judge found dead in Madison County JACKSON — A Mississippi judge was found dead Friday afternoon off a state highway near the Ross Barnett Reservoir in the central part of the state, authorities said.

It was not immediately clear how Rankin County Chancery Judge Dan Fairly died, said Department of Public Safety spokesman Warren Strain. Strain said the Madison County Sheriff’s Department received a call about 4:15 p.m. that a body was found off Mississippi 43 near the intersection with the Natchez Trace Parkway. Investigators from the sheriff’s department and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation went to the site, as did members of the MBI crime scene unit. The Mississippi Bar directory says Fairly started practicing law in 1981.

Mayor seeks Biloxi Bay Bridge cameras OCEAN SPRINGS — Ocean Springs Mayor Connie Moran is looking far and wide for money to place security cameras on the Biloxi Bay Bridge. Moran tells WLOXTV in Biloxi that her city doesn’t have the $10,000 to buy the cameras. Authorities are continuing to investigation the sexual assault of a woman ion the bridge five months ago. Moran wants two cameras - one for each end of the bridge. Moran says the project is an opportunity to solicit corporate sponsors and allow the public to participate. She is working with the citizens group Gulf Coast WAVE, which stands for Women Against Violence Everywhere, to organize a bridge walk fundraiser.

Jury rejects ketchup packet patent suit BY JOE MANDAK Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — A federal jury on Wednesday rejected a Michigan man’s claims that a condiment package he patented in 1997 led H.J. Heinz Co. to develop its Dip & Squeeze ketchup packets in 2010. David Wawrzynski, 44, sued Heinz in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh, claiming the “Little Dipper” package he invented led the Pittsburgh-based company to develop its dual-function package. A lid can be peeled from the Dip & Squeeze so food can be dipped into the ketchup, or the end can be torn off so the ketchup can be squeezed onto food.

The jury agreed that Wawrzynski had brought a novel idea to Heinz but disagreed with his claims that Heinz used it in developing the Dip & Squeeze and that Heinz, therefore, owed him money. Had jurors ruled in favor of Wawrzynski, there would have been a second trial to determine how much money Heinz owed him. “Heinz firmly believed all along that Mr. Wawrzynski’s claims were groundless and we are pleased to have prevailed in the case,” said Michael Mullen, senior vice president of corporate and government affairs for Heinz. Wawrzynski’s attor-

ney, Eugene Boyle Jr., told reporters that the verdict was disappointing but that he was not immediately sure whether he would appeal. He said he could not say how much money he would have sought, because an expert witness report on the value of Wawrzynski’s contributions had not been completed. Wawrzynski began working in the food industry at the age of 13 and developed his Wok to You business, which delivers Asian food from 30 different Detroitarea restaurants, by age 21. His experiences led him to tinker with condiment and sauce packaging, said Boyle,

CHILI

who claimed the “Little Dipper,” in turn, contributed to Heinz’s dualfunction ketchup packet concept. Wawrzynski’s coneshaped condiment container had a keyholeshaped opening that helped users dip a french fry into ketchup and wipe off excess amounts as it is pulled back through the opening. Wawrzynski did not claim that Heinz copied the exact design. Rather, he contended that Heinz was not thinking about, or had not realistically made progress, on a ketchup packet that could be dipped into and squeezed until after he pitched the “Little Dipper” to Heinz in 2008.

pick their favorite.” Each tasting kit will include instructions and a way for the individual to judge and select what they think is the best chili in the Gardner’s Supermarket and Roger’s Supermarket People’s Choice Chili Competition. “Those local residents and businesses who think they have a good chili recipe can enter People’s Choice as well, and compete against other local teams for prize money,” added Knight. “They can even enter for free.” Entry into the contest is $35 plus one gallon of chili, however those cooks who shop at Gardner’s or Roger’s and show a receipt at cook-off registration will receive their $35 entry fee waved. “It’s very easy for everyone to enter,” said Knight. “Unlike the professional categories, there are no rules or requirements to cook the chili. The chili can be cooked off site or on site and any ingredients can be used -- the preference is the cooks ... and if they buy their ingredients at Gardner’s or Roger’s, entry is free.” Knight said the only requirement is providing a minimum of one gallon of chili hot and ready to serve at 11 a.m. on cook-off day. Entrants will need a table, chairs and tent for a booth where they will be responsible for serving their chili to judges. Local teams can preregister at the museum this week or register at the event on Saturday morning from 7 to 9 a.m. Local team prize money pro-

vided by Gardner’s and Roger’s includes $200 first place, $100 second place and $50 third place. More than 30 professional International Chili Society cooking teams from around the country are expected to fire up their grills along side the local cooks. The cook-off will feature three professional categories — Red (traditional red chili), Chili Verde (green chili) and Salsa, with the winner of each advancing to the World Championship. Cook-off sponsors include Gardner’s Supermarket, Roger’s Supermarket, Coca-Cola, The Dinner Bell, Crossroads Chevrolet Buick GMC, Magnolia Regional Health Center, Re-Elect Rita Potts Parks for State Senate, the Alcorn County Bank Association, the Daily Corinthian, WXRZ Supertalk 94.3 FM and the Corinth Area Convention & Visitors Bureau. Sponsorship opportunities are still available. For a $250 sponsorship, a business receives a free entry for a cooking team in the People’s Choice competition, a vendor display space at the event, banner(s) hung at the event (provided by sponsor) and a logo on the Cook-off website and in all advertising and press releases. Other sponsorship packages are available including a $500 level which includes entry for a cooking team in all categories and ICS entry fees covered.

Smith. “A question-and-answer time will be part of the agenda. We encourage our parents to attend.” The assessment is scheduled to be given statewide during the testing window of April 10 to April 23. Students who do not pass will get two opportunities for retesting — the first between May 18 and 22 and the second between June 29 and Aug. 7. Students will be asked to answer 50 multiple choice items based on short questions and passages up to 55 words long. The test is described as computer adaptive, with questions becoming more or less difficult depending on whether the student answers the previous question correctly. The test is designed to gauge comprehension of literature and informational text, the use of vocabulary, and foundational reading skills, including phonics, word recognition and fluency. “Students need strong reading skills in order to succeed in all of their school subjects,” said State Literacy Director Kymyona Burk. “The third grade is a critical year for literacy because that is when students transition from learning to read to reading to learn.” MDE has posted the test blueprint and sample questions that have been provided to schools online for parents to view (www.mde.k12. ms.us/OSA/RSA). An example of the sample questions is: Which does the word “armful” mean? 1) as much as the arms can carry; 2) one who works with his arms; 3) something that looks like arms. “Good cause” exemptions from the new requirement are expected to be rare.

Betting on a ‘doodlebug’ full tank of gas BY JIMMY C. REED Columnist

My boyhood best friend and mentor, Jaybird, took one look at the Volkswagen in front of the commissary store on Dad’s Mississippi Delta farm and said, “Shoot, dat ain’t nuttin’ but a coffin wit’ wheels on hit.” The car belonged to Vinnie the mail carrier, who always stopped at the store for the ultimate Southern snack: an RC Cola and a Moon Pie. “She’s a beauty — I call her Beulah the Bug,” Vinnie said. The mailman’s arrogant, boastful nature had always irritated Jay-

bird. Peering at the dashboard, the old black man muttered, “Why, shucks, hit ain’t eben got a gas gauge.”“Don’t need one,” Vinnie said. “I just switch to the reserve tank when the main one runs out. Its gas mileage is unbelievable. You ought to swap that old clunker pickup you call Matilda for one. Then you’d have something you wouldn’t have to work on all the time.” Bristling, Jaybird walked away. “You heah whut dat no-’count clown said ’bout Matilda?” he asked me. “We’s gwine git revenge.”That evening, Jaybird and I were sit-

ting on his porch enjoying cold buttermilk with cornbread chunks in it, when he explained his plan. Occasionally, Vinnie fueled up at the store’s pump. The next time he did, we would put the plan into action. A few days later, Vinnie pulled up to the pump. “Dem wuz mighty unkind words you spoke ’bout Matilda,” Jaybird said. “She gits at least 20 miles to de gallon. I bet dat ugly little ole doodlebug don’t git neah ’bout dat much.” Vinnie boasted that it got at least 30 miles per gallon. “I just filled the tank. Let’s read the odom-

eter. In a week, I’ll refill ’er at this pump, read the odometer again, and divide the difference by the number of gallons it took. I’ll bet y’all a soda pop and a snack against nothing that it gets way better mileage than Matilda.” A few days later, while Vinnie was inside the store, Jaybird topped off the Volkswagen’s tank. As promised, a week after the previous odometer reading, Vinnie read the odometer again, and did the arithmetic. “Whoowhee!” he exulted. “Beulah’s gas mileage is a whole lot better than I estimated — 50 miles per

tations had come out the same as mine! Jaybird parked Matilda beside the gas pump. “What wuz dat you said, Vinnie?” Jaybird asked, winking at me. “Oh, yeah, now I remembuh: “Deal, old timer.” (Oxford resident, Ole Miss alumnus, Army veteran, and retired Mississippi Delta cotton farmer Jimmy Reed (jimmycecilreedjr@gmail.com) is a newspaper columnist, author, and college teacher.

gallon!” “Sumpin’ ain’t right,” Jaybird snorted. “Let’s test it again, and if’n hit’s de same, I’ll pay fuh yo’ tank o’ gas. If ‘n hit ain’t, you buy me a tank.” “Deal, old timer,” Vinnie said, strutting into the store. Quickly, Jaybird siphoned a few gallons from the Vokswagen’s tank. A week later, Vinnie refueled at the store’s pump and gave me the odometer readings. When I announced that it barely got 15 miles per gallon, Vinnie said, “Boy, you can’t divide. Lemme see them figgers.” After scribbling a moment, his face turned chalk white. His compu-

Smuggled ‘Undertaker’s Wife’ a story of an unexpected life antiquities end up in Honolulu BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

BY JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER Associated Press

HONOLULU — An international investigation into antiquities looted from India and smuggled into the United States has taken authorities to the Honolulu Museum of Art. The museum on Wednesday handed over seven rare artifacts that it acquired without museum officials realizing they were ill-gotten items. Agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will take the items back to New York and, from there, eventually return them to the government of India. U.S. customs agents say the items were taken from religious temples and ancient Buddhist sites, and then allegedly smuggled to the United States by an art dealer. The dealer, Subhash Kapoor, was arrested in 2011 and is awaiting trial in India. Officials say Kapoor created false provenances for the illicit antiquities. Someone on vacation visiting the museum last year recognized the name of Kapoor’s New York gallery as the source of a 2,000-year-old terra cotta rattle and contacted authorities, said Stephan Jost, the museum’s director. Museum officials then pored over their records and determined six other Indian items had ties to Kapoor.

“The Undertaker’s Wife” by Dee Oliver with Jodie Berndt c.2015, Zondervan $15.99 / higher in Canada 224 pages It’s supposed to go like this: You are born, you grow up, graduate from high school, then college. You fall in love, get married, have two-point-five children and a mortgage with a two-car garage, you grow old, then you die. It’s supposed to be like that. But, as they say, if you want to see God laugh, make plans – and in the new book “The Undertaker’s Wife” by Dee Oliver with Jodie Berndt, He surely saw plenty that was funny. Dee Oliver was destined to marry a wealthy doctor. That’s what she thought, growing up in Virginia Beach. Doctors had money, and who doesn’t appreciate money? Plus, they were good with that in-sicknessand-in-health stuff, and Oliver was not. A doctor, she decided, would be a perfect husband. And that was the plan – until Oliver met Johnnie. He was an older (35-year-old) man, handsome and charming. He was also a funeral direc-

tor and on their first date, he was on-call – which meant that before they reached their destination, they had to retrieve a corpse which accompanied them on their evening. Still, Oliver fell in love and, though their early romance was on-againoff-again, she married Johnnie, birthed three children, and they lived happily ever after. Almost. When Johnnie suddenly had a stroke and died, Oliver wasn’t sure what to do. She’d only ever been an undertaker’s wife and a mother, so she prayed about her dilemma – and then she found an application for mortuary school in a pile of bills on Johnnie’s desk. God and Johnnie, she figured, were sending a message. She returned to school, got good grades, and eagerly anticipated her internship. And that, she thought, would naturally be done at Johnnie’s family’s funeral home. Why not? She loved the staff, understood procedures, and knew the clientele – but Johnnie’s brother, the business’s new CEO, inexplicably sent Oliver packing. None of his nearest competitors would hire her, either. And so, with temporary license in hand and three daughters to feed, Oliver became “a wid-

owed [Southern] white socialite working in an all-black funeral home in a most definitely allblack neighborhood…” Oh, how I loved this book. And oh, how I hated it. First of all, you can throw out every stereotype you’ve ever heard about funeral homes: there’s nothing at all morbid or stuffy inside “The Undertaker’s Wife.” Author Dee Oliver (with Jodie Berndt) made me laugh again and again, in fact, and I was completely captivated by her amazement at the turns her neatly-planned life took. There’s so much charm here, so much gratitude, and a muchneeded change of heart and race-based attitude inside an unusual story. And yet, there’s the irritation. Oliver leaves readers hanging off the steepest of cliffs and with no apologies, which almost made me regret this book – almost, but not enough to say it’s not worth reading, because it definitely is.
