Historic naturalization ceremony Corinth becomes first city in state to host the event

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

“I hereby declare, on oath …”

About 75 people from the northern U.S. District Court region who are aspiring to U.S. citizenship will complete their journey in Corinth on Thursday as they recite the naturalization oath.

It is set for 11 a.m. at the Coliseum Civic Center on Taylor

Street.

“It will be a day to be remembered,” said Mayor Tommy Irwin. “I love having it at the coliseum because it’s an iconic place.”

The ceremony comes to Corinth by virtue of an invitation from U.S. District Court

Judge Neal Biggers, a Corinth native, and “we’re grateful,” said Irwin. “It’s going to be a grand day for Corinth.”

With a little less than 1,000 seats available in the historic venue, it is expected to be a

“It will be a day to be remembered.

I love having it at the coliseum because it’s an iconic place.”

National Park Service looking for volunteers For the Daily Corinthian

Volunteers are needed to help improve one of the area’s Civil War treasures.

Shiloh National Military Park will host National Park Day 2017 on Saturday, April 15 at the Corinth Battlefield Unit.

Sponsored by the Civil War Trust, this annual event brings together Civil War enthusiasts from around the country who volunteer their time and energy to help preserve the nation’s battlefields.

From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. rangers and volunteers will be improving the grounds of the for-

mer West Corinth Elementary School playground. This site was part of the Confederate advance on Battery Robinett during the Battle of Corinth on Oct. 4, 1862.

The property was purchased by the Friends of the Siege and Battle of Corinth and transferred to the National Park Service in December 2016.

The clean-up will include pruning, moving gravel, filling holes and removing trash items such as rails and bricks.

KHS Winter Guard wins Silver Medal For the Daily Corinthian

The Kossuth High School Winter Guard received a Silver Medal in the Mississippi Indoor Championship’s Regional AA Class competition recently held in Jackson.

The talented group is under the leadership of director Dianne Cole and assistant directors Amy Porterfield and Rebecca Inman Groups are categorized based on their level of skills, which include the handling of sabres, rifles and flags. Judges make their decisions in the areas of equip-

ment, movement, design analysis and general effect.

The KHS group’s show entitled “Tell Your Heart to Beat Again” is based on a song by the same title written by Danny Gokey and was chosen by Diane Cole because of its personal meaning to her.

“I lost someone very special in my life to cancer in June, and when I heard this song, I knew it was perfect for my group. Their grace, beauty and style bring the song to life in the exact way I envisioned,” said Cole.

Jason Gunn designed and choreographed the show. The group began working on this show in December. The state competition was held April 1.

Group members include Brianna Grimes, Ali Mann, Alyssa Mcalister, Autumn Woods, Kaitlan Rinehart, Sarah Trimble, Maggie Porterfield, Cheyenne Cornelius, and Alisha Thomas. Soloists for the group were Ali Mann (sabre) and Alyssa Mcalister (rifle).

CHARITY CONTINUED FROM 1A

Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in February, 2015.

“It’s more than just the money to her. She lost her Daddy at eight years old and I am all she’s got. This hit close to home to her, and without a shadow of a doubt is a huge love offering for me,” said Lambert, regarding her daughter’s top-fundraiser status. “Cancer is scary and she’s lived through it with me, and been my biggest supporter.”

Lambert is now in remission, but still has treatments related to the cancer. She learned about the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society during the course of her chemotherapy and the organization helped with sorely needed funds to help with payment toward her treatments.

Molly said she asked for donations of all kinds. She asked people to just donate what-

ever they could. She said some people donated far more generously than she would have expected.

“I thought — ‘Wow!’ People really do care about the society even if they were not aware of what it had done for my mom,” said Molly.

Molly said her teacher faithfully promoted the campaign every day for four or five weeks.

She raised funds from the first day up to the very last day they had to turn in the money donated.

Lambert said Anderson even allowed her to come and speak directly to the class and share her story. Molly said she hoped her mother’s story would put a face to the cause.

“I wanted the other kids to know these are real people’s lives you’re helping,” said Molly.

Last year, the entire school for grade 9-12, raised $700 for

the campaign. This year Molly as the top fundraiser raised $2,600, for a class total of $2,683, which earned her class a pizza party. The total for the whole school grades 9-12 was $3,371.

“Molly kept her achievement a secret from the rest of the class until the last day and was so humble — not wanting any of the attention,” said Anderson, regarding Molly’s achievement. “Molly is one of my best and brightest students.

She is incredibly hardworking and so kind, caring and sweet.

She will achieve great things with her caring heart and strong academic ability. I could not say enough good things about her.”

Molly had been a cheerleader for her mother from the beginning. One can watch their interaction and see the mother-daughter duo are close.

Together, they had already weathered the sudden death of

Molly Lambert (left) and her teacher, Megan Anderson are shown. Anderson teaches the Excellence for All class. Lambert said her teacher promoted the fundraiser each day for five to six weeks to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Molly’s father seven years ago.

The mother teared up as she related one of the lowest points of her cancer treatment. She said she and Molly had gone to the grocery store. When they arrived, Lambert was too sick to go in. Molly was 13 years old at the time and her mother said she gave the young girl the list and her debit card. Molly went inside, selected and purchased the groceries and made sure they were all loaded up in the

car.

“I slept in the car while she did the shopping. I was too sick to go in. She was the best nurse I had,” said Lambert.

With the stress of the illness, the two were relieved to have the assistance provided by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Ever conscious of what the organization had done for her mother, Molly made it her mission to give back.

Today in History

Local/Region

Daily Corinthian • 3A

Across the Region Iuka

Today is Palm Sunday, April 9, the 99th day of 2017. There are 266 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On April 9, 1942, during World War II, some 75,000 Philippine and American defenders on Bataan surrendered to Japanese troops, who forced the prisoners to travel on foot more than 60 miles to a prison camp in what became known as the Bataan Death March. (Thousands died or were killed en route.)

On this date In 1682, French explorer Robert de La Salle claimed the Mississippi River Basin for France.

In 1865, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia.

In 1913, the first game was played at Ebbets Field, the newly built home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, 1-0.

In 1917, during World War I, Canadian forces launched a successful counter-offensive against German troops in the Battle of Vimy Ridge on the Western Front.

In 1939, singer Marian Anderson performed a concert at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. after being denied the use of Constitution Hall by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

In 1940, during World War II, Germany invaded Denmark and Norway.

In 1947, a series of tornadoes in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas claimed 181 lives.

In 1959, NASA presented its first seven astronauts: Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard and Donald Slayton. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, 91, died in Phoenix, Arizona.

In 1965, the newly built Astrodome in Houston featured its first baseball game, an exhibition between the Astros and the New York Yankees, with President Lyndon B. Johnson in attendance. (The Astros won, 2-1, in 12 innings.)

In 1983, the space shuttle Challenger ended its first mission with a safe landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

Two men face drug charges IUKA — Routine traffic stops earlier this month ended with the arrest of two men on felony drug charges, according to the Daily Journal.

Cody Aldridge, 26, of Belmont, was stopped April 1 for reckless driving on Duncan Road in the Belmont/Golden area. Deputies smelled the aroma of marijuana.

A search uncovered methamphetamine, marijuana and a meth pipe.

Aldridge was charged with felony possession of methamphetamine and possession of marijuana. His felony bond was set at $5,000.

During an April 3 stop of a vehicle on Highway 30, the driver consented to a search of the vehicle. When the passenger stepped out, a black canister containing several bags of methamphetamine fell out, according to authorities.

Andy Craig Simmons, 35, of Tishomingo, was charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell. His bond was set at $5,000.

Booneville Planning meeting draws large crowd BOONEVILLE — Booneville residents had the opportunity to make their voices heard Monday as the city continues the process of developing a long-term plan for future development and growth.

Slaughter and Associates Urban Planning Consultants hosted a public meeting to get input from residents as part of their work on developing the comprehensive plan for the city.

The public meeting was part of a series of meetings with city government, business, school and community leaders as well as with citizens the firm has conducted to help develop the plan.

Company President Mike Slaughter said the goal of the planning process is to develop a multi-faceted road map for the city to help guide leaders in making decisions that will lead to the best possible overall growth and development of the city in the future.

“It really comes down to protecting and enhancing the quality of life,” said Slaughter.

The completed plan

will outline proposed land use and zoning of land throughout the city, needed improvements and changes to transportation infrastructure and improvements and changes to community facilities and infrastructure, along with suggested ordinances and regulations to help accomplish those goals, to give city leaders a guide for how to get where they want the city to be in the future.

A key part of the planning process is obtaining input from those in the community, explained Slaughter. He said they want to hear from leaders in all areas of government and civic life as well as from citizens about their goals and visions for the future and about the challenges the community faces in reaching those goals. The resulting plan should be a reflection of the entire community’s vision and goals, he explained.

Monday’s meeting drew a standing room only crowd of residents to city hall for a discussion of issues facing the city in key areas.

Slaughter and his team will now take the information gleaned from this meeting and one-on-one meetings with city and community leaders, along with other research, and create a draft comprehensive plan that will be presented to city leaders for consideration in the coming months.

Selmer Officials offer tips to avoid tax fraud SELMER, Tenn. — With the April 18 Tax Day deadline on the horizon, the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance’s (TDCI) Division of Consumer Affairs encourages McNairy County residents to thoroughly vet your tax preparer to help reduce the risk of fraud.

“Conducting research should be your first priority if you decide to have a tax preparer file your income tax return,” said TDCI Consumer Protection Director Cynthia Wiel. “You are responsible for everything on your return, even when someone else prepares it, so be sure to check your preparer’s history and qualifications carefully before hiring.”

Tax return preparer fraud or misconduct can happen to anyone, even if you hire a preparer who you believe is professional and honest.

For example, a preparer might change your tax return after you’ve approved and signed it, altering income or credits to obtain a bigger refund and then keeping some or all of it.

In some cases, the preparer might steal your whole refund by changing direct deposit information. Another common fraud situation can occur when the pre-

parer files a return without your authorization – he or she might have your information from a prior year, and use that information to file a return for the current year.

Or perhaps you met with a preparer and then chose not to hire that person, but the preparer filed a return using your information anyway.

The Division of Consumer Affairs urges Tennesseans to do research before trusting anyone with important tax information: Check the Preparer’s Qualifications: Make sure the preparer has a PTIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number) – this is required for all professional preparers.

Find out if the preparer is affiliated with any professional associations.

Ask the preparer about his or her education and training – what background does that person have that qualifies him or her to prepare your return?

Check the Preparer’s History: Check with the Better Business Bureau in your area to see if the preparer has had complaints filed about him or her.

Check with professional associations to see if the preparer has had any disciplinary actions, and for the status of the preparer’s license: For Certified Public Accountants (CPAs): If the preparer is a CPA, verify

his or her license with the Tennessee Board of Accountancy at www.verify. tn.gov. For more information about the Tennessee Board of Accountancy, visit www.tn.gov/regboards or call 888-453-6150.

For attorneys: Verify an attorney is licensed to practice law in Tennessee by visiting the Board of Professional Responsibility’s website directory at www.tbpr.org.

For Enrolled Agents: Verify the status of an enrolled agent by contacting the IRS Office of Enrollment at 855-4725540 or EPP@irs.gov.

Oxford Man arrested after returning to scene OXFORD — A man was arrested after he returned the the scene of the crime where he allegedly stole more than $1,000 worth of goods, reported the Daily Journal.

Walmart employees said a man entered the store March 31 and stole $1,104 worth of assorted electronic goods.

When the same man returned to the store the following day, employees called the Oxford Police Department.

Officers responded to the location and arrested Larry Gaston, 47, also known as “Abu Talib Shabazz,” as he was exiting the store. Gaston was charged with felony shoplifting and given a bond of $2,500.

Pontotoc Co. Woman killed in traffic accident PONTOTOC COUNTY — A Bruce woman is dead after a one-vehicle accident on Thursday, reported the Daily Journal.

According to the Mississippi Highway Patrol, troopers responded to a wreck on MS Highway 9 in Pontotoc County, about eight miles south of Pontotoc, at approximately 5:30 p.m.

It appeared that Wilma L. Ivy, 65, of Bruce, was traveling north in a Dodge Dakota when she lost control of the truck. The vehicle left the roadway and collided into an embankment before overturning several times.

Ivy was ejected from her vehicle and died at the scene.

MHP continues to investigate.

Corinth, Miss.

The PenceGraham Rule Millennials and others of a certain age have not lived in a time when fidelity was universally valued and mostly supported by culture -- though sometimes hypocritically -- and its opposite was roundly condemned.

There was even a time when a divorced person could not expect to become president, though plenty of married presidents managed to conduct clandestine affairs, often with the indulgence of the media.

How far we have come (or Cal gone) as a country and culThomas ture was evidenced by the reelection of Bill Clinton, even Columnist after reports of his alleged sexual harassment of Paula Jones were made public.

This isn’t about that. It’s about Vice President Mike Pence and his recently rediscovered standard of refusing to dine alone with a woman not his wife, or showing up without her at a place where alcohol is served.

This is sometimes called the Billy Graham Rule, after the famed evangelist. It isn’t about prudishness, as some have claimed in their criticism of Pence, it is about preserving one’s reputation and “avoiding the appearance of evil,” as evangelicals like Graham and Pence would put it.

Some years ago, Rev. Graham spoke at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. There was a reception before his speech in the bar area. One of the guests asked Graham if he could have his picture taken with him, and Graham turned to me to ask if I would hold his soft drink while the picture was taken.

I later asked him why he did this. He said it was because some people who saw the photo could conclude that he was drinking an alcoholic beverage, a no-no among Southern Baptists, though some seem to have modified their position in recent years.

Graham once told me about his own policy of never being with a woman without his wife present, or having a woman pick him up at an airport when he traveled, unless she was with her husband. It is a standard I employ, not because Graham and I (and Pence) find it hard to resist temptations of the flesh, but because it is the best protection against all sorts of negative things that could happen, or someone reading something into a picture that has the potential of damaging one’s reputation.

Pence’s comment was printed in a recent Washington Post profile, but he first made it in 2002 when he was a freshman in Congress at the height of the Gary Condit sex scandal, in which Condit was accused of being involved with the disappearance and murder of his intern Chandra Levy, with whom he was having an affair. Pence doesn’t tell others how to live their lives.

He just set a standard for his marriage. His spokesman, Marc Lotter, tells me “clearly it is working.”

Some feminists have written that Pence’s policy somehow harms women from making progress in the workplace. Recent newspaper columns by former female congressional staff members refute that claim.

I’ve been in Pence’s office. Many women work there, including his deputy chief of staff, his national security adviser, his director of intergovernmental affairs and their top deputies.

So what’s the problem? I think it is that the Pence “lifestyle,” for wont of a better word, stands as a rebuke to those who have chosen different ways of behaving, in or out of marriage. Deep down inside most of us know right from wrong, otherwise “Judge Judy” would not be so much fun to watch as she dispenses truths your grandmother probably agreed with and tried to teach you.

After all the criticism about President Trump’s past with women, one might think the critics would welcome a wholesome example like the Pences. But in Washington, some people like having it both ways.

Prayer for today My Father, I pray that it may be mine to have the recollection of happy deeds, and not the memory of unkept promises. Help me to remember that one act is worth a thousand intentions, and that memory is the storehouse that supplies old age. Make me careful of my memory, that it may not be burdened. Amen.

A verse to share But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?” “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Mark 14:61-62

Trump’s normality problem White House official Steve Bannon is off the National Security Council, in a reversal of what had been an eyebrow-raising decision to put the president’s top political adviser on the NSC. It is a step toward normality in a White House that has struggled with it, especially in the Oval Office.

One would have thought the sweet spot for President Donald Trump would be enough policy heterodoxy to convince marginal working-class voters that he’s a different kind of Republican, coupled with enough conventional behavior to take the edge off his radioactive image.

Instead, after about 75 days, it’s been the opposite on both counts. With some exceptions (banging on companies on Twitter for outsourcing, the heavy emphasis on immigration enforcement), the substance has been conventionally Republican, while the behavior has been outlandishly Trump.

The two are related. Since Trump is undisciplined, doesn’t have well-formulated policy views and will change his mind based on the last person he’s talked

to, he’s not well-suited to driving an agenda.

The result could well be a RepubRich lican presiLowry dent with the kind of policy National Review platform that leads people to believe the party is out of touch, presented in the most off-putting and needlessly combative way possible.

Consider: If there is one issue that Trump has been consistent on for decades, it is attacking free trade. His jeremiads on trade clearly played a role in his breach of the Democrats’ blue wall in November. Yet, according to news reports, Trump’s team is having arguments about the fundamental direction of his trade policy.

How is this for priorities? The administration apparently doesn’t know whether it is protectionist or not, but is utterly committed to defending every Saturday morning tweet from the president. In other words, the only thing that is an unquestioned constant is Trump’s demeanor. Or to

put it another way, Trump’s content may be subject to change, but never his style.

When all is said and done, the residue of distinctiveness of the Trump phenomenon could well be Trump himself, namely his ramshackle management, willingness to say anything and propensity for feeling slighted and hurling insults.

Tellingly, the president has sunk beneath 40 percent in a couple of polls without anything major having gone wrong. The initial travel-ban rollout was a fiasco, but the policy has essentially been on hold since, blocked by the courts. The defeat of the health care bill was a blow, but it could still be revived.

Otherwise, there’s been no foreign blowup, the job market is reasonably strong, and every indicator of business and consumer sentiment is pointing in the right direction.

The drag on Trump has to be Trump himself. You might have thought he’d have learned a lesson from the positive reaction to his selection of Neil Gorsuch -- a normal pick, arrived at through a normal process, who may be the biggest success of the first year --

and to his almost entirely conventional speech to the joint session of Congress.

Instead, they represented brief wanderings onto script from an otherwise improvisational actor.

Trump feels like he’s still up for grabs. Will he end up accommodating the GOP establishment, going hard populist or throwing in with the New York moderates in his White House? Regardless, how he conducts himself will remain equally a problem.

Perpetual warfare on all fronts doesn’t mean you’re winning, just that you have a lot of enemies. Counterpunching doesn’t always mean you’re hurting your adversary, just that you may be fighting on his terrain. Chaos doesn’t mean you’re draining the swamp, just that you’re wasting political capital.

The adage is that if you’re taking flak, it means you’re over the target. In Trump’s case, it may mean that he decided on a whim to change the flight plan in the middle of the mission to divebomb some out-of-theway, well-defended target.

Normality won’t mean anything until it reaches all the way to the top.

Pilot’s life one for the books

BY WYATT EMMERICH Columnist

There’s an old pilot saying: There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots.

And then there is my fatherin-law Bob Knight.

I reached Bob last week to ask him if it was all right to write about him on his 80th birthday. He was in Monroe, flying private clients in one of his several airplanes.

He may be the oldest commercial pilot to fly private clients solo in the history of the United States, perhaps the world. The Guinness Book of World Records says the oldest commercial pilot is a 92-year-old Japanese pilot who is still towing banners. But he doesn’t fly passengers. My Google search was unable to find an older passenger-carrying commercial pilot than Bob Knight. He is one of a kind.

The major airlines recently increased the mandatory retirement age from 60 to 65.

But for private planes, there is no mandatory age for a commercial pilot. You just have to pass the rigorous physical test every two years.

Bob still has loyal clients he has been flying for decades.

Bob’s probably in better physical shape than me.

I asked him once how many flying hours he had.

He just laughed at me. He has lost count of the number of forced landings he’s walked away from.

My wife Ginny grew up in Taylorsville with a grass landing strip in their backyard. They nicknamed the strip “Taylorsville International.” The family of four flew everywhere – to the mountains, to the Bahamas, to New Orleans and back for dinner.

When Ginny first met me, she couldn’t believe her luck: She found a man she liked who had zero interest in flying. Then I met Bob. Two years later, I was a pilot.

“I knew it was too good to be true,” she moaned later.

My father and mother were pilots, but I was a “white-knuckle” passenger, as my father used to say.

When my father died, his airplane gathered dust for two years. “Let’s at least go up and take a look at it,” Bob told me one day. Then the Knight magic took hold.

The Bob Knight flying stories are legendary in pilot circles. One person told me how he would land on the highway, taxi to a filling station and fill up to avoid paying the avgas tax. Then he would take back off.

I remember a wonderful moment way back when.

I was flying with my family somewhere over Texas when a familiar voice came over the frequency. “Hey, hey, Wyatt. It’s Bob. How’s my favorite son-in-law.

Beautiful day to be flying.”

Once he came to pick me up at Hawkins Field. A nas-

ty thunderstorm kicked up.

I refused to get in the plane.

Off he went.

Another time he was flying his family back from a skiing trip. He picked up ice over the Mississippi River and just barely made it to his grass strip. “My max airspeed, max power and stall speed all converged into one.”

One moonless night, his single-engine Bonanza lost power over a dark forest north of Baton Rouge. He managed to land on the tiniest opening imaginable, avoiding a huge oak by several feet. His passenger was uninjured. Bob ended up with some metal along his spine and an inch shorter, but it didn’t slow him down.

Just a few years ago, he flew his twin-engine Aerostar into Taylorsville International. The next morning the dew was heavy and the grass on the strip was high.

We all insisted that he not take off and he agreed. Moments later, he slipped away without us noticing. When I heard the engines crank, I got down on my knees and prayed. Away he flew.

Bob reminds me of my maternal grandfather, Bob Buntin, who was a Gulfport judge in his later years. During World War I, Bob Buntin was a test pilot. Out of his group of 20 test pilots, he was the only one to survive.

He did so by curling himself into a ball and jumping out of the plane just before it

crashed. He did this three times. I shouldn’t even exist. But I do.

When I look at the smiling face of Bob Knight – and he is always smiling and laughing – it is though I am looking straight into the face of divine providence. He was meant to be.

At his 80th birthday, more than a hundred people came by to celebrate. Many were friends who struggled with addiction, people Bob helped through the roughest points in their life. “The fact of the matter is we are here for only one purpose: To help other people.”

Bob had his own struggle with addiction and destructive behavior. He paid a price. Then one day, he changed and never looked back. He hasn’t had a drink in more than 40 years. He starts each morning at AA. Bob Knight is a living breathing example of God’s promise of providence and personal redemption. He got there by God’s grace through the crucible of the human struggle. And he knows it.

“I am just happy to be alive and living each day in humble gratitude,” he tells me every time I call. After an improbable life of unbelievable chance and adventure, peppered with his share of struggles, God brought “Knight Train” to the place we all need to be. Can you ask for anything more?

Community honors pastor for 50 years of service

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — An unselfish heart has fueled one McNairy County pastor to do his part to spread God’s word for the past half-century.

Bro. Jetta Forsythe was recently honored by family and friends at a reception to recognize his 50 years in the ministry.

A crowd of between 300-400 came by First Baptist Church in Selmer to show their love and admiration for Forsythe.

Ironically, he was ordained to preach March 28, 1967 and his reception was held 50 years to the date on March 28, 2017.

Forsythe was ordained as a minister at Gravel Hill Baptist Church when he was hired to serve as

the church’s pastor. He had been ordained as a deacon two years earlier at Chewalla Baptist Church in 1965.

Forsythe became a Christian Forsythe at age 11 while attending Falcon Baptist Church.

He is presently serving as the interim pastor at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in the McNairy community. Forsythe has served as interim pastor at several area churches over the past few years.

“I know everyone can’t preach like Adrian Rogers or be at a big church, but I just go where God

wants me to preach,” said Forsythe. “The size of the church does not matter to me. If they want me to preach for them, I will come to their church.”

After his tenure at Gravel Hill, he went to preach at New Hope Baptist Church in Pocahontas.

He then moved to Lakeview Baptist Church in Selmer and then to Pleasant Site Baptist Church before moving to Florida to attend Florida Baptist College in 1974.

Durell Corbett, pastor of Gravel Hill in the 60s, was a big influence on Forsythe in his early years as a minister.

Chewalla Baptist pastor Bro. Ken Jordan had a big impact on Forsythe during the early 70s when Forsythe went to church at Chewalla.

He returned to McNairy County to pastor at Ramer Baptist Church where he spent over four years in the town where he graduated from Ramer High School in 1959.

Forsythe recalls two revivals at Ramer Baptist as a couple memorable milestones in his years as a preacher.

“We had a revival my first year at Ramer with Bro. Ken Jordan preaching and we had 22 become Christians and the next revival with Bro. Ron Byrd had 15 people become Christians,” said Forsythe.

Following graduation at Blue Mountain College in 1979, he became the pastor at Second Baptist Church in Savannah where he stayed for seven years. He then moved for

another seven year stint at Temple Baptist Church in Savannah.

Since leaving Temple Baptist, Forsythe has served as interim pastor for at least 10 area churches.

Forsythe credits a group of deacons at Chewalla who helped him grow from being a deacon to becoming a pastor. They were Cecil Suggs, Willie Shelton, Pete Jones, Ralph Webb and Devero Morrow.

He has been married to Robbie Forsythe since July 30, 1959. They have three children, David Forsythe, Steve Forsythe and Lisa Forsythe. Bro. Jetta and Robbie have seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Bro. Jetta is proud of the fact he was able to baptize

each of his children. He hopes to someday baptize one of his grandchildren or great-grandchildren.

Forsythe is still working part-time for Shackelford’s Funeral Home in Selmer.

His love for young people and his community was evident even in his early 20s when he went together with 11 other men to get the money to buy the land that is now the Ramer City Park.

The reception reminded Forsythe of how many people he had touched over the years through sermons, weddings or funerals.

“I just hope people know I love them and that I’ve influenced them in a positive way. God has blessed me very much,” he said.

A whopping 85 percent of Americans fail to maximize their Social Security benefits. the money that needs to be paid back.

Why would someone do this?

Because they realized, through education that filing as early as possible may not be the correct answer for them – eliminates Delayed Retirement Credits, reduces Survivor Benefits, reduces benefit amount by 25-30 percent, eliminates claiming strategies that can greatly improve your lifetime income stream, and limits your income potential because of the Earnings Limitations rules.

Enough said.

Some people need to

draw at age 62 but we want them to know their options and the ramifications of their decision.

It is heartbreaking to sit down with a couple that has realized their mistake and cannot afford a re-do.

Suspend is when you are at least Full Retirement Age (depends on your DOB) and voluntarily stop your benefit and decide to restart later, thus allowing your benefit to improve with Delayed Retirement Credits at 8% per year plus any Cost of Living Adjustments. Caution, any other benefits such as Spousal Benefits paid off your work record

will also be suspended.

This does not require repayment of funds, but you must be Full Retirement Age. Before you do this, you need to make sure that the numbers make sense for this strategy.

Every Social Security situation is personal – it is your story, your top 35 years of earnings history that cannot be duplicated. Advice from a friend, family member or other individual that is wellmeaning, but has little knowledge of your situation and the law, throw up a caution flag.

There is one other way to correct what you consider a filing mistake (drawing between the ages of 62-66/67) – working more. You would not suspend or re-do, but based on your salary,

Social Security would reduce your benefit $1 for every $2 you earn over $16,920 per year.

Good news, once you hit Full Retirement Age most of the benefits withheld due to your earnings are reinstated allowing your future Social Security benefit to grow.

Unfortunately, you never recoup every dollar lost to the “Earnings Test” reduction.

Murray denies sex abuse claims Associated Press

SEATTLE — Ed Murray led a long campaign to legalize same-sex marriage in Washington state, toiled for nearly two decades as a state lawmaker and won his biggest personal political victory in 2013 when he unseated Seattle’s incumbent mayor by promising the ultra-liberal city to raise the minimum hourly wage to $15.

Just as he took on a role as a highprofile critic of President Donald Trump and prepared to launch a reelection campaign, Murray was hit

Thursday with a political bombshell — accusations from three men that Murray sexually abused them in the 1980s.

On Friday, Murray held a brief news conference to deny allegations in a lawsuit by one man, saying “they were very painful for me. It was painful for my husband.” Through a spokesman he has also denied the allegations by the other men.

He said he will not step down and is sticking to re-election campaign plans but refused to answer reporters’ questions, saying the case “is now a legal matter that is in the courts.”

Bentley may face impeachment MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley will face impeachment hearings beginning Monday after the state Supreme Court gave lawmakers the greenlight to move ahead with an effort to oust the governor, who is fighting to stay in office amid fallout from an affair with a top aide.

The Alabama Supreme Court on Saturday reversed a shortlived victory for Bentley when a judge on Friday blocked impeachment proceedings. After the high court’s ruling, the House Judiciary Committee quickly announced plans to proceed with hearings on Monday.

Bentley, a 74-yearold dermatologist and former Baptist deacon, has been engulfed in a sex scandal since recordings surfaced in 2016 of him making suggestive remarks to a female aide before he and his wife of 50 years got divorced.

Bentley has vowed to stay in office despite growing calls for his resignation. He stood on the marble steps of the state Capitol on Friday and somberly acknowledged making personal mistakes but maintained he did nothing to merit his removal from office.

GOP hopes for food stamp restrictions AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine resident Zak McCutcheon says he likes soda but acknowledges he’d drink less of it if his governor convinced Republican President

Donald Trump to put restrictions on the approximately $200 a month he receives in food stamps. He thinks it may even make recipients healthier and less overweight.

“If I was more restricted to what I could buy, I would become more of a veggie eater,” said McCutcheon, who recently perused grapes and packages of prechopped vegetables at an Augusta food bank with his pregnant girlfriend.

But another one of Maine’s 180,000 food stamp recipients, Samantha Watson, said she believes a ban from using food stamps on soda and candy won’t make low-income people any healthier. It would take more than that to change eating habits, she said, since food stamps cover only a fraction of the monthly grocery bill for herself and her 3-yearold daughter.

Maine Gov. Paul LePage and fellow Republicans in two other states are now renewing their efforts to restrict food stamps in the hopes that Trump will be more amenable than the previous administration.

Rock Hall of Fame names new class NEW YORK — Seattle rockers Pearl Jam, the late rapper Tupac Shakur and 1970s hitmaking band Journey were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Friday night.

Joan Baez, Electric Light Orchestra and Yes were also part of the 2017 class inducted at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, which kicked off with a tribute to Chuck Berry.

Across the State

The new inductees closed the multi-hour event with a group performance, and before that Pearl Jam electrified with a performance of its well-known songs.

David Letterman inducted the band, and brought a small guitar and letter onstage that he said Vedder gave to his son days before his late-night show ended in 2015.

Letterman wasn’t the only fan in the room: As Vedder thanked his wife during his speech, one male fan from a seat up high screamed, “I love you, Eddie!”

California governor says drought over FRESNO, Calif. — Thirsty California lawns faded to brown from a lack of water in four extraordinarily dry years have revived to bright green in neighborhoods across the state.

Dry riverbeds of sand and tumbleweeds that snake their way through farmers’ fields now charge with water swelling up their banks.

Scenes like these and many others prompted California Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday to declare an end to the state’s drought emergency that had drained reservoirs and wells, devastated forests and farmland and forced millions of people to slash their water use.

The turnaround has been stark. After years of brown fields and cracked earth, monster storms blanketed California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains this winter with deep snow that flows into the network of rivers and streams that supply much of the state’s water.

Mayor takes down fleeing fraud suspect PEARL — A Mississippi mayor is being credited with catching a fraud suspect who was running away from police.

The Clarion-Ledger reports Pearl Mayor Brad Rogers was riding with the city’s police chief Friday when they heard a call for assistance with a foot chase. Both men joined the pursuit when they saw a man matching the suspect’s description bolt past Police Chief Tim Sarrett’s truck.

Police said Rogers followed the fugitive over an 8-foot privacy fence and the suspect gave up after the unarmed mayor demanded he drop to the ground.

Jermaine Marshall of Chicago was charged with credit card fraud, identity theft and failure to obey a police officer.

He had fled from a local bank after the manager reported Marshall to police as a possible fraud suspect.

Teacher, principal receive state honors JACKSON — A Petal teacher and a Pearl principal have been named Mississippi’s teacher and administrator of the year.

The Mississippi Department of Education and the Mississippi Teacher Center announced the awards Friday.

Luke Daniels, a sixthgrade math teacher at Petal Upper Elementary School, says he tries to teach math using realworld scenarios. He says that’s key to making sure students experience success to build their confidence.

Two airlines propose flights for Mid-Delta GREENVILLE — Two companies say they are interested in providing flights to and from a small airport in Mississippi.

The Delta DemocratTimes reports that one of the proposals to serve Greenville Mid-Delta Airport comes from the company that currently has a two-year contract there.

The contract for Boutique Air ends Sept. 30.

Boutique’s new proposal is roughly about $3.5 million, with the federal government providing an annual subsidy of $2.7 million, to continue service to and from Dallas and Nashville, Tennessee.

Greenville Mayor Errick Simmons said the Boutique proposal also offers an alternative route including Atlanta and Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

Air Choice One proposes providing air service for $3.5 million, with a federal subsidy of $2.8 million. It would offer flights to and from New Orleans and Memphis, Tennessee.

New water tower to cut insurance rates TUPELO — Officials say a new water tower will result in lower property insurance rates in a recently annexed area of Tupelo.

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports the $1.2 million water tower began operations Tuesday.

Tupelo Water & Light Director Johnny Timmons says the 500,000-gallon tank will improve the flow of water to fire hydrants.

He says the city decided to build the water tower after the state’s insurance rating bureau said it was needed. Tupelo bought the land, and construction began last year.

Tupelo Fire Chief Thomas Walker says the city hopes the bureau will grant the city an improved fire rating after an inspection later this year. Beyond firefighting needs, Timmons says water consumption is rising as the area becomes more heavily populated.

Natchez looks at bids to reuse ex-hospital NATCHEZ — Natchez could turn over a former hospital building to be reused as apartments for seniors or as a churchrun social service center.

The city took possession of the building after the former owner didn’t pay property taxes. It was built in 1925 as Natchez General Hospital.

The Natchez Democrat reports the city sought proposals to reuse the building. Now Mayor Darryl Grennell and two aldermen are considering the plans and are likely to make a recommendation Tuesday at a Board of Aldermen meeting.

New Direction Outreach Ministries submitted a proposal to use the building as a “citizen enhancement facility” to house grant programs aimed at improving Natchez.

New Direction Worship Center’s the Rev. Kevin Deason said the ministry is seeking grants to renovate the dilapidated building, which is located near the Oak Street church.

Local funeral home unveils Wall of Memories

BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

The dead are not forgotten.

This is the message president/co-owner Ricky Holland wants to convey for the Corinthian Funeral Home’s 25th anniversary open house, where he and the staff will unveil their new Wall of Memories.

“I didn’t want people to think that once their loved ones are buried, that they’ve been forgotten. This is a way for us to show that we continue to remember them,” said Holland.

The Wall of Memories will consist of a series of framed lists of every client they have served. The frames will list clients by year and they are preparing a wall where the frames will be displayed. The wall will be revealed during the funeral home’s 25th Anniversary Open House on Sunday, April 30, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The unveiling of the wall will start the open house at 2 p.m.

Holland said the time has passed quickly. The Corinthian Funeral Home opened its doors for business on May 15, 1992, as a small store front on Waldron Street.

“We had a little store front just around the corner and down the hill from what is AC’s Espresso now. We were on that block on Waldron,” said Holland. He said they used the store front for the management aspect of the business, but had six funerals during that time, which were all held

The Corinthian Funeral Home opened its doors for business on May 15, 1992, as a small store front on Waldron Street before moving to their current location at 506 Kilpatrick Street in August 1992. Built in 1939, the facility was formerly a medical clinic for the late Dr. Frank Davis. at churches.

In August, 1992, the funeral home moved to their current location at 506 Kilpatrick Street, after they purchased and remodeled the facility which was formerly a medical clinic for the late Dr. Frank Davis.

The building was originally built in 1939. Holland said someone once pointed out to him the full-circle nature of the irony, having begun as a place to heal and now it has become a place to lay people to rest.

Over his 25 years in business, Holland said he has noticed changes.

“The time has flown by and I still enjoy it,” said Holland. “I have noticed a lot of changes since I started. There have been changes in the funeral business and how people look at death these days.

It’s a lot different from when I first started,” said the funeral home owner.

He said the cultural

changes with faster-paced lifestyles, the economy, and other factors have affected the funeral business. He said he now sees many people having faster services from the time of death to the day of the funeral — some even having visitation on the same day as the funeral.

He also said the cremation rate has gone up and pointed out the rules have changed at most work places whereas people cannot take off from work to attend the funeral of a loved one if they are not immediate family. All of these factors affect the funeral business.

Holland loves the funeral business and he knows this is an unusual outlook for such a career.

He started off with other interests. He said he got his start working for Bill McPeters back in 1988 and he worked for McPeters until the business sold.

“I was going to college

for accounting at the time, but I fell in love with the funeral business,” said Holland. He explained he looks at the business as more of a ministry than a job. “If I can help someone through some of the worst days of their lives, then I have accomplished something,” he said.

John Paul Anderson, who does the embalming for Corinthian Funeral Home, has been with the business since the beginning. Anderson also got his start working for Bill McPeters. He was another who said the funeral business where he wanted to be.

“I started working for McPeters when I was in the seventh grade. I went to embalming school in 1974. It’s just something I have always wanted to do ... but it’s a lot of hours. If someone dies, then you have to go in ... it doesn’t matter if it’s Christmas day. You have to go in,” said Anderson.

Anderson also does embalming work for other funeral homes.

When asked what would set Corinthian Funeral Home apart from other places, Anderson said “it’s affordable.” In addition, he said Holland cares for the families they serve.

“Ricky tries every way he can to keep prices down for the families,” said Anderson.

Holland hopes people will come out on April 30 and join them as they look back on 25 years of business and remember the people they have served.

Margarine’s fortunes take another slide Associated Press

NEW YORK — Margarine’s fortunes seem to be taking another sad turn, with the owner of Country Crock and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter looking for someone to take the brands off its hands.

Consumer products heavyweight Unilever said Thursday it’s seek-

ing to unload its spreads business that has suffered from soft sales in the United States and other developed markets.

It’s just the latest blow for butter alternatives, which most think of as “margarine,” even if some don’t technically conform to the federal definition of the word.

Margarine enjoyed popularity for decades before research emerged in the 1990s about the harms of the trans fats. Many manu-

facturers have since reformulated their spreads sold in tubs to remove trans fats, but the bad health associations have persisted.

If grandparents aren’t online, find another way to connect D E A R ABBY: My son “Travis,” age 9, is computer savvy, but his “Luddite” grandparAbigail ents (my inlive far Van Buren laws) away from us and don’t Dear Abby even have internet access. They are no longer able to travel, and our finances prohibit frequent visits to them.

Travis could be Skyping them, and they could have a vital relationship through the miracle of modern technology.

Instead, he will take their phone calls only occasionally, and enjoys the annual visit with them -- but mainly because of the other relatives there.

If these were my parents (who are sadly long gone), I’d set them up on Skype and have them at least try.

When his grandparents are no longer able to live on their own and move to assisted living, will that offer at least a hope of virtual connectivity? -- MODERN MAN IN SAN DIEGO DEAR MODERN MAN: By age 9, if your son isn’t interested in talking to his grandparents, and his grandparents make no effort to reach out, do not expect it to happen when he’s older and

they go into assisted living.

Travis should be compelled to talk to his grandparents more often.

If people want to connect, they usually somehow manage to do it through letters, phones, computers, etc.

Over the last 20 years, many seniors have learned about computers and manage them quite well.

If your in-laws have a smartphone, they could talk to your son on video chat.

DEAR ABBY: I have been playing the piano for five years and I still enjoy it. But over the past year and a half, going for lessons every week and having to practice is getting old for me.

In fact, I’m beginning to loathe it.

It’s not the teacher, it’s not my parents -- it’s me. I’m just over all of the weekly lessons and having to REMEMBER to practice.

My heart isn’t in it anymore.

What do you think I should do?

-- RYAN IN MICHIGAN DEAR RYAN: You should talk to your teacher about it. After five years of weekly lessons and diligent practice, you should have a pretty solid musical education by now.

You may need to take a break, change teachers or even change instruments.

Your teacher may have a broader perspective on this than you do, so take your guidance

from the pro.

DEAR ABBY: I recently invited an acquaintance to be my guest at a play I’m directing and to the cast party afterward.

I like this man, and he’s done me a number of favors, so the invitation was a sort of thankyou.

I haven’t heard one way or the other from the invitee.

I don’t want to push and make the person uncomfortable, but I’d like to know whether he’s coming or not.

Should I follow up with him or let it go? -- NEEDS TO KNOW IN NEW YORK DEAR NEEDS TO KNOW: By not responding to your invitation, the man is letting you know that it’s not high on his list of priorities.

Personally, I think you should let it go.

And if he asks about the play just before it opens, tell him that you made other plans because you thought he wasn’t interested.

Because you like him, say it nicely. But to leave you hanging is rude.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

What you appreciate (recognize the full worth of) will appreciate (raise in value over time). You’ll see examples of this all around you over the next three days.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

People will tell you the most unusual facts about themselves today -- probably more than you wanted to know, yet there will be something good and important in this.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You may anticipate the trouble, but you won’t fear it. You’ll meet it head-on, stare it in the eye, note that you’re bigger than it and then quite simply handle it so you can move on to the fun part of the day.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You want to be around people who have something to teach you. You’ll soak up the new knowledge and skills. Some people’s influence will be immediately obvious; others’ will be subtler. Either way, you’re a fast learner now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When

Hamlet declared that “the play’s the thing,” he had more specific purposes in mind than simply putting on a good show. You, however, are on a mission for lighthearted entertainment and will certainly achieve this.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Pretending can be fun, daring, playful or dangerous. The dangerous kind of pretending is the kind done to fit in with situations that your heart suggests are not actually that great of a fit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll get the chance to help someone else be prosperous, and you’ll jump at it. After all, it’s fun to see people succeed. You don’t even have to be particularly close to someone to feel lifted by his or her accomplishment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

To choose the right subject matter for casual conversation and then continually spin it in a direction that makes people feel positive about what’s going on -- there’s an art to it, and you’re an artist!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). Getting involved in too detailed a thought process will be ineffective. Work with outlines, checklists and other structures to keep things simple and focused.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s not as if you have to make big efforts to touch people’s lives; you do it just by existing. What happens naturally because you’re here is more than you might imagine. Whatever else you do today is gravy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Doubt is a traitor. Don’t let it steer you off. In fact, just discount your doubt altogether today, as it has the potential to steer you off of the good you will do when you ignore your fear to attempt.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

To be able to direct all of your energy into what matters to you most may seem like a distant and unattainable luxury today, but with a little planning, you could make this happen more regularly -- and to results most pleasing.

Spencer Hill is living the dream as an employee of the Ole Miss Athletics Department. He is married to the former Katie Bass of Corinth.

Hill living the dream at Ole Miss

BY JOEL MCNEESE Calhoun County Journal Publisher

(The following story was written by Calhoun County Journal Publisher Joel McNeese. It is being reprinted with permission.)

Spencer Hill is living his dream.

The Vardaman native grew up loving everything about Ole Miss. Today, he serves as equipment manager for nine Rebel sports and oversees daily operations at the Tuohy Basketball Center.

“I think of growing up and seeing that Ole Miss script logo all the time as a fan. Now, as

soon as I walk in the door (at work) it’s on the floor, it’s on the wall, it’s on the kick plates on the doors and it’s on my chest every day,” said Hill.

“I’m hard pressed to go into my closet and put on anything that doesn’t have Ole Miss on it. Most people would kill for that if you’re a big fan. My wife tells me I have more shoes and clothes than she does.

“I’m getting paid to be somewhere I love, a place I’ve loved since I was a kid.”

Hill graduated from Vardaman High School in 1995 and attended Ole Miss finding work as a student equipment

manager for the football team.

“I liked it a lot,” Hill said of his student job. “I’ve always loved sports and knew I wanted to be involved in it somehow and thought this would be a good avenue to stay in it by doing what I was doing.”

He sent out resumes to every SEC school as graduation approached.

“Nobody needed an equipment manager at the time, but they knew UT-Martin did, and I was referred to them. They called me at my parents’ (Jamie and Charlotte Hill) house in Vardaman and asked me to come up to Martin. I had

never been there, knew nothing about it.”

Hill worked there for five years until a job opened up at Ole Miss in 2005.

“As soon as they called I knew I wanted it,” Hill said.

“They started to talk about pay and I said, ‘It doesn’t matter. I want the job.’”

He was working with football when he first came back to the university, and his office was in the Manning Center.

QB Patterson takes over Rebels’ offense The Associated Press

OXFORD — Shea Patterson had a three-game, crash course as Mississippi’s quarterback in November after senior starter Chad Kelly went down with a knee injury.

Now, the Rebels belong to him.

Ready or not, the 6-foot-2, 203-pound sophomore is the new face of the Ole Miss football program. The former five-star recruit was the main attraction during Saturday’s intrasquad spring game and for the most part delivered, completing 21 of 30 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns.

“He’s settled in and everybody knows that,” Ole Miss

coach Hugh Freeze said. “So he gives us a confidence.”

Patterson’s bright future is one reason for optimism in an otherwise uncertain time for the Ole Miss football program. The Rebels are coming off a disappointing 5-7 season and in the midst of an NCAA investigation for rules violations that already caused the program to self-impose a postseason ban for the upcoming season.

Patterson readily admits “it stinks” to not have a chance to play in the postseason, but said he and his teammates won’t let that stop them from having a good season.

“We still have 12 games against the best teams in the

country and play every day in the best conference,” Patterson said. “The vision doesn’t change.”

Patterson — at times — lived up to his considerable five-star hype during his three games last season. He threw for 880 yards and six touchdowns and led Ole Miss on a stunning fourthquarter comeback in a win over Texas A&M. But there were also some negatives. He completed just 54.5 percent of his passes, which was considerably lower than Kelly’s 62.5 percent mark. Freeze said Patterson also had a tendency to scramble when a little patience could have led to a big passing gain downfield.

Patterson has some talented playmakers around him. A.J. Brown, Van Jefferson and D.K. Metcalf will likely be the top three options at receiver after promising freshmen seasons.

They were productive during Saturday’s spring game: Brown caught five passes for 133 yards, Metcalf caught four for 98 yards and Jefferson caught six for 126 yards. All of them caught a touchdown pass.

“The timing and chemistry is awesome this year,” Patterson said. “Last year in the spring I was sharing second-team reps and going with the scout team.

Now every day we’re going with Please see PATTERSON | 11A

Defensive overhaul focus of Mississippi State’s spring The Associated Press

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen was clear that changes needed to be made after a mediocre season.

His top priority: A more physical and aggressive demeanor on the defensive side of the ball.

Mullen hired former Louisville and Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham over the winter to handle the overhaul. That process started this spring and was evident in Saturday’s intrasquad spring game.

The White squad defeated the Maroon 21-10 in a game

that featured five interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns. Starting quarterback Nick Fitzgerald threw four of those interceptions while freshman cornerback Cameron Dantzler and safety Brian Cole had the interceptions returned for touchdowns.

Dantzler had two interceptions in the game.

“You know the defense I want to play here with, which is guys flying to the football as hard as they can, trying to go make plays and playing an aggressive style of defense,” Please see OVERHAUL | 11A

When the Tuohy Center opened in 2009, Hill was offered the position of serving as overseer of the facility in addition to managing equipment for his nine sports.

I don’t travel with any of the teams anymore. I don’t work games. I just work here, and it lets me get home with my family.”

Hill has two primary jobs now, starting with his equipment management position.

“I order everything from socks to uniforms for nine Ole Miss sports – men’s and women’s tennis, softball, soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s basketball,” he said.

“We are a Nike school, so everything is through them. They give us a website that we log into and order everything,” he said.

That’s my favorite thing.

I really enjoy working on the uniforms,” said Hill. “I get to get in there and play around with colors, logos and pick all the uniforms out for my sports.”

The significance of that is not lost on Hill.

“That’s what people see.

When they see Ole Miss men’s basketball on the court and on television, that’s what they see. They don’t see the red shorts and T-shirts they’re working out in. Their vision of Ole Miss basketball is that uniform we designed.

That’s a lot of fun.”

Hill’s other role is managing the basketball center, which is state of the art. He helps organize schedules for the basketball teams and the other

sports and ensuring the building is set up exactly as each sport needs it.

“Everything in the building is computerized, down to the lights in the gym,” Hill said. “I have to program when they are to come on and when to go off. It’s pretty neat when people see the technology we’re using here. They think you just flip a switch.

We do it all on computer.”

He described his typical day as starting with lots of email, phone calls and correspondence with director of operations for each sport setting up schedules and checking on any needs.

“With nine sports, you never know day-to-day, there’s always something coming up,” Hill said.

His busiest time of year is October and November when they’re ordering everything for every sport for the following year, and then June through August when it all starts arriving.

“It comes in by the 18-wheeler truck loads — every day, sometimes multiple times a day,” Hill said. “People don’t realize how much stuff comes through here.”

Hill, 39, commutes to work now from Bruce. He and his wife Katie (Bass), a native of Corinth who now teaches at Calhoun City Elementary, and their children — Levi, 6, and Cooper, 4 — live in the former Mike Jones’ home off Hwy. 9 in Bruce.

As a lifelong Ole Miss fan, walking into his office every morning just off Chucky Mullins’ Drive isn’t something he takes for granted.

“I was wearing Ole Miss T-shirts and diapers. My grandfather (Charles Barnett) was a big Archie Manning fan, big Ole Miss all the way through. We all were. It’s all I’ve known.

That’s what makes this job so special. I’ve been a fan of them my whole life and now I’m here every day and involved with athletics.”

the ones and I’m getting that timing down with the receivers and they’re used to my release.”

The offense figures to be the strength for Ole Miss next season.

The Rebels expect to have starting running back Jordan Wilkins back after he missed last season because of academic issues.

The offensive line looks solid, too: Sophomore left tackle Greg Little is one of four returning starters.

The only major change is with the coaching staff.

Freeze brought in new offensive coordinator Phil Longo from Sam Houston

State to shake up the playbook and change some of the terminology.

Longo said he was pleased with the way Patterson played on Saturday, especially considering his quarterback has only had a few weeks to digest the new playbook and terminology.

Teams are allowed 15 workouts during spring practice.

“We’re going to be a lot faster in the fall than we are right now,” Longo said. “We weren’t slower because of Shea. This is a 14-day product right now.

Now we have the whole summer — which is great work for us. We get to slow it down and teach the finer points.”

Haynes wins Chucky Mullins Courage Award Ole Miss Sports Information

OXFORD — As part of Regions Bank Grove Bowl festivities, Ole Miss handed out its annual spring football awards Saturday, headlined by senior defensive end Marquis Haynes being named the 2017 Chucky Mullins Courage Award winner.

An All-SEC end and one of the best sack artists in Ole Miss history, Haynes became the 27th different recipient in the 28-year history of the award when it was revealed at Saturday’s breakfast ceremony, presented by the M-Club.

Haynes will wear Mullins’ No. 38 jersey throughout the 2017 season.

“I’m really proud to be able to wear this number,” Haynes said after he was presented the award. “All

praise to God.” The award, sponsored by Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, honors the late Chucky Mullins, who had his Ole Miss career come to an end during the 1989 Homecoming game against Vanderbilt when he was paralyzed after making a tackle. After returning to his studies at Ole Miss, Mullins passed away May 6, 1991.

Head coach Hugh Freeze and the Rebel coaching staff selected Haynes from among several defensive veterans on the team. The award is presented annually to an Ole Miss upperclassman defensive player that embodies the spirit of Mullins — courage, leadership, perseverance and determination.

“There’s typically not

a day he doesn’t come by my office to sit down and have a chat and tell me he loves me,” Freeze said of Haynes. “He’s going to have a phenomenal year and wear the number 38 with great pride.”

Haynes has been a consistent threat in opposing teams’ backfields since his freshman year in 2014 when he helped Ole Miss finish as the nation’s No. 1 scoring defense.

The Jacksonville, Florida, native ranks third in school history with 24.5 career sacks and fourth with 36.5 tackles for loss entering his senior year. A two-time All-SEC selection (2015, 2016), Haynes has led the Rebels in sacks all three years (7.5 in 2014, 10 in 2015, 7 in 2016).

“Young children actu-

ally know who I am and know I’m a role model,” said Haynes, who regularly reads to schoolchildren and participates in community service projects.

“It makes me happy every day.”

Former Chucky Mullins Courage Award recipients are Chris Mitchell, Jeff Carter, Trea Southerland, Johnny Dixon, Alundis Brice, Michael Lowery, Derek Jones, Nate Wayne, Gary Thigpen, Ronnie Heard, Anthony Magee, Kevin Thomas, Lanier Goethie, Jamil Northcutt, Eric Oliver, Kelvin Robinson, Patrick Willis, Jeremy Garrett, Jamarca Sanford, Marcus Tillman, Kentrell Lockett, Deterrian Shackelford (twice), Jason Jones, Mike Marry, Mike Hilton and John Youngblood.

Sweat (Michigan State) and Rivers (Georgia) have both played at the Football Bowl Subdivision level before.

“When you look at the new guys that have come in, you look at Montez Sweat and he is an impactful player,” Grantham said. “Chauncey Rivers is an impactful guy that can make plays on the edge and play multiple spots.

Mississippi State needed some changes on defense after a rough season that included a 6-7 record.

The Bulldogs’ main prob-

lem was they struggled to stop anybody, giving up nearly 32 points per game which ranked 13th out of 14 Southeastern Conference teams.

Grantham said that young players already on the roster like linebacker Gerri Green and defensive end Marquiss Spencer have also improved quickly and should be able to help the Bulldogs in the fall.

This spring Grantham praised his group for their energy and intensity on the practice fields, but

they also have a few things to fix before the season arrives.

“I think we have to understanding the situation a little bit better,” Grantham said. “We got to understand what it means in the red zone, what they’re going to do. Third down is third down but you got to understand the down and distance and what is going to happen relative to the sticks.”

The Bulldogs will officially conclude spring drills Tuesday with their final practice session.

OVERHAUL CONTINUED FROM 10A

Mullen said. “We want to be aggressive and flying around. I saw some of that out there on the field today.”

Mississippi State’s defensive changes include Grantham and safeties coach Ron English, but weren’t limited to the coaching staff. The Bulldogs brought in four junior college defensive linemen — Montez Sweat, Lee Autry, Deion Pope and Chauncey Rivers — to beef up the front line.

An exhibit featuring log cabin birdhouses made by Wendell Nelson of Goose Pond opens today at the art gallery.

For the birds Artist creates intricate homes for feathered friends

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

T

he local bluebird population might be Wendell Nelson’s biggest fans.

The builder creates intricate birdhouses in the style of log cabins, complete with dormers and spacious porches, sometimes with a dogtrot.

“Every one of them is different,” said Nelson, a resident of the Goose Pond area of western Alcorn County.His work is currently featured at the Corinth Artist Guild Gallery with an opening reception today from 2 to 4 p.m. and continuing through May 6.

Nelson said he was looking to build something out of the ordinary when he came upon the idea of log cabin birdhouses.

The largest one, currently sitting in the gallery’s sidewalk display window, offers spacious accommodations for 15.

“Every hole you see has a wall in between it — every hole is a birdhouse by itself,” said Nelson.

A self-employed contractor for the past 12 years, he learned carpentry working with D&D Contractors. Born in Aurora, Ill., Nelson and his family returned to the Goose Pond area shortly after his birth. He was educated in Kossuth.

Almost all of his birdhouses are fashioned out of cedar. He has built them for about three years, and for many years he has been building cedar chests and other items.

The gallery exhibit includes a couple of his cedar tables.

His work is currently featured at the Corinth Artist Guild Gallery with an opening reception today from 2 to 4 p.m. and continuing through May 6. log cabin birdhouses of various sizes, the gallery exhibit also includes one in the shape of a fiddle.

He said he is also thinking about making birdhouses in a large cross.

Nelson is a regular at the Green Market, which led to his gallery exhibit.

Along with Nelson’s work, the gallery currently holds the work of 27 painters and 20 artisans.

Gallery hours at 609 North Fillmore are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Newest novel by Box is a well-written western mystery story

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“Vicious Circle” by C.J. Box c.2017, Putnam $27.00 It’s gone around and around.

Your mind just can’t let go: how can you put an end to a ticklish problem?

You’ve let it roll through your head, around and around until you almost can’t think right, hoping the solution is somewhere close.

But, as in the new book “Vicious Circle” by C.J. Box, the fix may be harder than it seems.

Throughout his career, game warden Joe Pickett had seen a lot of dead bodies. He’d seen them in many places and positions, but he’d never actually witnessed a murder until he saw one on an iPad screen in a Cessna, high above the Wyoming mountains.

The victim, he was sure, was Dave Farkus.

Reported missing by a hunting buddy, Farkus had disappeared, leaving his beer.

He was familiar with the area; Pickett knew him, and he knew that a one-time outdoor guide like Farkus didn’t just get lost in the woods.

Add to that the odd call he’d made to Pickett the night before – something about Dallas Cates and Stockman’s Bar - and something was wrong.

Everybody in Twelve Sleep County had been dreading this day, ever since Cates went to prison.

Before he left, he’d vowed revenge on everyone who’d hurt his family

and ruined his life, and nobody in Saddlestring doubted he’d try to get it.

Pickett, who’d put Cates away then, was the first target.

True to form, the newly-freed Cates went afoul of the law almost immediately – and was quickly released because Undersheriff Lester Spivak had done something stupid during the arrest. With the possibility of doublejeopardy gone and with two former jail-buddies waiting in the wings to help, Cates focused on Pickett.

But what – other than former fame as a rodeo star – did Cates have to offer the men who seemed willing to kill for him?

That didn’t make sense to Pickett; there didn’t seem to be good motives for anyone to kill Farkus or bartender Wanda Stacy, who was also missing.

And none of them seemed the type to do business with a meth tweaker like the one who’d been stalking Pickett’s daughters…

To your list of Don’t Read Before Bedtime, you can add “Vicious Circle.”

If you don’t, you may as well kiss sleep goodbye.

Yes, there’s more than just one keep-you-upall-night heart-pounder in this book; it’s the seventeenth novel to feature Joe Pickett, after all, and author C.J. Box nails it again with a story that

Author C.J. Box crafts another taught thriller in “Vicious Circle.”

True to form, the newly-freed Cates went afoul of the law almost immediately – and was quickly released because Undersheriff Lester Spivak had done something stupid during the arrest. With the possibility of double-jeopardy gone and with two former jail-buddies waiting in the wings to help, Cates focused on Pickett. lays out the clues and dares you to figure them out.

Readers who know Pickett know that that won’t be easy, just as they’ll remember how Box often brings back truly nasty bad-guys and

leaves fans with an aggrrrrrrivating cliff-hanger.

And that, of course, will have you screaming for the next installment.

Don’t hesitate to start this book if you’re new to Box’s novels; it won’t

take long to catch on or to want the rest of the series.

If you’re an old hand at the Pickett Posse, though, rejoice!

Find “Vicious Circle.”

It’s a book you’ll want around.

The information will be used to help determine present and future program needs in the hopes of providing a free appropriate public education to all children with a disability.

Local polymer science students bring home win Second Year Polymer Science students from High School Polymer Science programs all over Mississippi came together at Hattiesburg’s University of Southern Mississippi for the 8th Annual State High School Polymer Science Competition put on March 23rd by the internationally known School of Polymers and High Performance Materials at USM. Five Alcorn County students from Kossuth and Central High Schools made the long trip with their adviser to bring home an impressive win of second place in the Polymer Science Quiz Bowl.

Not for the faint of heart, Alcorn County students went undefeated until the final round, in which they also had a rebuttal round.

The 2017 quiz bowl and overall competition winners were Presbyterian Christian School’s team located in Hattiesburg.

The PCS team may not have been undefeated at quiz bowl but they went home winners in several contests held for this annual state competition for the brightest in our state.

Will Poindexter of Al-

corn Central High School, the captain of the quiz bowl team, impressed with the team’s performance said, “We worked together… we put our knowledge together, and we were able to go undefeated until the last round. The questions at the end were very hard.

Even Mrs. Parsons said the questions were hard for her and she’s been teaching this subject for years.” Ben Marshall, Austin Burcham, Travis Williams and Chelsea Watson make up the rest of the quiz bowl team, with Stephanie Parsons, Polymer Science instructor and team adviser, who said, “Every team member contributed to this win and everyone was impressed with our student’s performance.

Their hard work studying, learning and working in the lab during class time and their own time, has paid off. I’m very proud of each of them and hope this inspires them to do great things with their future endeavors.”

Competition entails several contests; prior to USM’s Hattiesburg competition, students respond in essay form to a peer reviewed mate-

rial science article and take an online Polymer Science exam. Students who travel to Hattiesburg participate in Team Challenge and Quiz Bowl.

This year’s Team Challenge required students to assemble a composite beam using a two part epoxy amine as the matrix of the composite, and choices of linear and curved pasta for the fiber to reinforce it. Our students were ready for the challenge and made several beams. We were confident and are awaiting the results of the threepoint tests to be shared.

Our team is anxious to compare their toughness results to the outcomes of the other 8 teams. PCS took home first in Team Challenge.

Quiz Bowl involves bracketed teams competing until the final round.

Alcorn students were undefeated until the final round. Alcorn faced off with Presbyterian Christian with some very difficult questions. In the sudden death round during rebuttal, PCS took the win. “We were on the edge of our seats; it was so tense. We are proud we made it to the end undefeated.” said Ben Mar-

The opportunity to expand their knowledge is encouraged by this type of academic win. Each time students place at Career and Technical Education state competition their win is submitted for con-

sideration by Northeast Mississippi Community College to receive scholarship money for tuition at Northeast. Second place and third place Career and Technical Education wins are quite valuable to an incoming freshman at

Northeast, since they are valued at half the cost of tuition. Scholarship opportunities like these to attend Northeast Mississippi Community College are a tremendous blessing for each of these student’s families.

New books offer plenty of great reading

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

The pile of holiday cards has finally been dispensed.

They’ve been sitting in a lump on the counter for months, and you just now got around to sorting them. Some were too beautiful to let go; others had messages you wanted to save, some had addresses you needed, a couple pictures fell on your lap, and you also found at least one gift card for a bookstore.

Uh oh. Is it still good?

Probably, yes. So why not go look for one of these great books?

Fiction Are you in the mood for a good novel? Of course you are! So you’ll want to look for “Copycat” by Kimberla Lawson Roby.

It’s a skinny little book about friendship and obsession, and how one can ruin the other.

Historians who crave a novel based in history will love “The Women in the Castle” by Jessica Shattuck. It’s a story of three women who pull together at the end of World War II. Be prepared to clear your calendar and read, read, read.

Who doesn’t love a bit of suspense? Not you, you love that kind of thing, so you’ll want to read “Gone Without a Trace” by Mary Torjussen. It’s a tale of a woman whose boyfriend has disappeared completely. But is he really gone? Gotta read this book to find out…

Nonfiction If you’re someone who loves to look at old buildings while you’re on vacation, consider reading “Fallen Glory: The Lives and Deaths of History’s Greatest Buildings” by James Crawford before this summer’s getaway.

This book tackles some of the most iconic things mankind has ever built, why they were so wellknown, and why you can’t visit them this summer.

This is a big book, so read it now, before you get on the plane; it might be too big to haul. But here’s a book you can easily tuck in your carry-on: “The Not-Quite States of America “ by Doug Mack.

It’s a book about the U.S. territories, how they influence the mainland, and why you should consider visiting them very soon.

One more? Look for “The Handy New York City Answer Book” by Chris

Barsanti, which will explain (almost) everything you ever wanted to know about The Big Apple but didn’t know where to ask.

Reading should be restful, right? So why do you feel so guilty when you’re reading? In “Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less” by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, you’ll feel better with a book in your lap because you’ll see how you’re actually getting things done.

There. Doesn’t that help?

And if you really want to work hard, then put your imagination to play and read “The Creative Spark”

by Agustin Fuentes, to see how creativity and imagination have changed humankind.

So here’s the thing: if you love to read, you must know your way around a library, too, right? Which is why you’ll want “The Card Catalog” by The Library of Congress. Yes, it’s a book about those old card catalogs, what they were for, how they worked, and the art of the word that they may have contained. Along the way, you’ll get a gander at some magnificent old books. Readers beware: you’ll love this.

No doubt, your child is heading into sum-

mer vacation soon, but if you worry about her education in the future, you’ll want “Saving Science Class” by Chris McGowan. It’s a book about why we need to start science education early, how it can affect the way a child thinks, and why it’s good for them for the rest of their lives. While you’re using your gift card, also look for “Language at the Speed of Sight” by Mark Seidenberg. It’s about reading, literacy, and what can be done to teach both, better.

Politics seems to be on everyone’s mind – especially politics and economy – and in “Glass House”

by Brian Alexander, you’ll get a look at what happens to a town when its largest employer falters.

If you liked “Hillbilly Elegy,” this should be next on your list. Another book you might want to check out is “Walking to Listen”

by Andrew Forsthoefel, about the author’s journey across the nation, to see what we, as a country, have to say.

If you’re Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom all day long, then you’ll want to find “The Toddler Brain” by Laura A. Jana, MD. It’s a book about helping your child hone good skills

Attention brides, the time has come!

today for a better tomorrow. Also look for “Being There” by Erica Komisar, LCSW, a book about why your child’s first three years may be the most important years of his whole life, and what you can do to enhance them.

Readers with stars in their eyes may want to take a look at “What Love Is” by Carrie Jenkins. It’s a book that examines love in all its forms, including some that go against the mainstream grain. And if that isn’t where you’re at in life, then look for “The Optimist’s Guide to Divorce” by Suzanne Riss & Jill Sockwell. Yep, it’s a handy book to have, if you need it.

aside after you’ve read “Becoming Leonardo” by Mike Lankford. This biography peeks into the life and quirks of the Master as it takes you back several centuries to Renaissance Italy, and a slice of history.

There’s almost always some bio inside the essays written by Michael Perry, and in “Roughneck Grace,” you’ll see what Mike’s up to on his “Back Forty.” Told from the point of view of a first-class storyteller, these are tales of farming, kids, family, friends, and neighbors… as well as being a codger, laughing at oneself, and life in general.

With your gift certificate, I’d invite you to take a trip back a hundred years. You don’t have to leave your home, but you will need “The Original Black Elite: Daniel Murray and the Story of a Forgotten Era” by Elizabeth Dowling Taylor. This is the true story of the thenassistant librarian at the Library of Congress, and his contemporaries: doctors, lawyers, senators, ministers, business owners, all African American. It’s a story of grandeur, culture, fine things, and betrayal. You will be stunned.

As a fan of history, you know there’s always a dark side, and “Plotting to Kill the President” by Mel Ayton tells a bit of it.

This is a book that steps back to the nation’s first days but, surprisingly, only goes up to early 20th century assassination attempts. That means you won’t find JFK in there, nor Ronald Reagan – but you will find an interesting bit of American history. Also take a look at “Rivals Unto Death: Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr” by Rick Beyer. Written by an author who’s delved into quirky history, this book is also a bit of biography.

Baby? Maybe this year, so you’ll want to read “The Art of Waiting” by Belle Boggs. It’s a compilation of essays on motherhood, infertility, medical intervention for pregnancy, and longing to be someone’s mommy.

If you enjoyed the articles online, this book is what you want.

Mystery fans should be eager to find “The Family Gene” by Joselin Linder.

It’s a true story of a medical whodunit: at a very young age, Linder began suffering from a malady that baffled doctors, only to learn that the same symptoms affected many in her family tree. This book is as thrilling as any novel – maybe more so, because it’s true.

Students of history – especially that of World War II – will eat up “Irena’s Children” by Tilar J. Mazzeo. It’s the true story of public health expert Irena Sendler and her brave actions: Irena smuggled Jewish children from the ghettos of Warsaw and saved their lives.

Yes, you need to read this book.

Though he’s been gone many years now, there’s always interest in “The Real James Dean,” and in this new book edited

by Peter L. Winkler, you’ll learn what his friends and contemporaries thought about Hollywood ‘s bad boy.

All those things you think you know about Leonardo Da Vinci? You may want to put them

Kids books History is not boring. Nowhere near it, in fact, and “Colonial Comics New England : 17501775,” edited by Jason Rodriguez proves it. This book pulls together many chapters of the history of making America , all done and illustrated by a variety of authors and artists.

In between stories, your 12-to-17-year-old can enjoy sidebar-chapters on oddities and little-known bits of this fascinating history.

Another history book – this one for kids who are younger (5-to-9-yearolds) is “The Romans” by Suzan Boshouwers & Veronica Nahmias. It’s a serious (and seriously fun) look at the life of a kid who lived in the Roman Empire .

And now the housekeeping: These books are available now but so are lots of others. If you’re still at a loss as to what to do with that gift card, send it to me (I’m kidding!).

No, seriously, take it to your local bookstore and throw yourself at the mercy of the bookseller.

They’re experts in making you happy with a book in your hand, and they can even suggest a nice bookmark, too.

Happy Reading !
