Event shares Camp’s story BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Numerous people gathered Friday morning to trace the steps to freedom birthed by Corinth’s contraband camp. Park Ranger Tom Parson talked visitors through the camp’s history, an emerging story in recent years for many Corinthians who had never before heard of a contraband camp and its role in the Civil War. Among those walking through the historic site was Larry Lugar, the sculptor who created the various bronze statues interpreting life in what was a model camp for the freed men, women and children. “I love coming here by myself,” he said. “It’s a place of peace for me.” His Lugar Foundry is based in Eads, Tenn., and he sometimes makes the 90-minute drive to Corinth to sit in the park and have a quiet moment. He finds the camp’s story inspiring with “the fundamental change that occurred here” and “the idea that education can be perpetual,” he said. “It gives me goosebumps.” He worked on the project for

Sales tax collections generally rose across northeast Mississippi in the latest reported month. Seven of 11 area municipalities posted gains as collections across the state rose almost 3 percent. Collections in Corinth rose slightly — about half of 1 percent — during the month compared to a year ago. The city received $447,540.65 at midApril, reflecting sales activity in local establishments during the month of February. Corinth has seen positive growth for five consecutive months. The city’s year-to-date total of $3.278 million is up 3 percent, or about $109,000, from the same point a year earlier. The 2 percent tourism tax on food and lodging in the city continued its up-and-down pattern. The tax generated

Standing proudly with her hands on her hips, she became the model for the

“greeter” at the beginning of the park’s trail. “When I saw that photograph, I was smitten,” he said. Lugar sums up her attitude as: “I’m free. Sorry, it’s not going away.”

Library volunteers join in World Book Night BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Volunteers at the Northeast Regional Library are devoting their time and efforts to improving literacy in Corinth. Librarian Brandon Lowrey, Denise DeBoer, and Marianna Carnes are participating in World Book Night by handing out 60 paperback books to “light” and “non-readers”. The local “givers” hope many will come out and take advantage of the opportunity to get a free book.

The event will take place at 5 p.m. on April 23 at the Corinth Library. Residents will have three book titles to choose from. Lowrey will be handing out “Pontoon: A Novel of Lake Wobegon” by Garrison Keillor. “It’s a fairly humorous story with eccentric characters,” said the Librarian. For her book, DeBoer chose “Young Men and Fire” by Norman Maclean. “It’s about fire jumpers and Maclean’s research of the Mann Gulch fire of 1949 and the 13

men who perished in the fire,” said DeBoer. The third title, handed out by Carnes will be “Hoot” by Carl Hiaasen. “We want to get people interested in reading and encourage them to read for pleasure,” said third year, WBN Volunteer Marianna Carnes. “We also want people to get involved and hopefully, become givers.” World Book Night is a nationwide initiative in which tens of thousands of people personally hand out half-a-million printed

copies on April 23 to those who might otherwise have no access to reading material. “It’s the one night of the year when the entire world comes together, selects a title and reads,” said Lowrey. Since 2011, the annual celebration has taken place in 6,200 towns and cities across the nation inspiring a love for knowledge and the written word. The organization was first launched in the United Kingdom and introduced to the United States in 2012.

“Being a member of the Literacy Council, I am very excited about this event because it opens the door to discovery,” said DeBoer. “I am very proud to be a part of it this year.” World Book Night is about so much more than passing out books and promoting reading. According to the non-profit’s website, “It’s about reaching out to others and touching lives in the simplest of ways–through the sharing of stories.” (For more information visit www.us.worldbooknight.org.)

Wheeler Grove Learning Center hosted their 8th Annual St. Jude Trike-A-Thon on Thursday. The learning center raised more than $2,000 to support the research and treatment of childhood cancer and other deadly diseases while teaching trike and riding-toy safety tips. The annual fundraiser is a week-long program where kids learn riding safety skills while raising funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “We had more than 40 kids from the center bring their tricycles and riding toys to school on Thursday,” said Donna Chase, center director. “The kids practiced the safety rules learned throughout the week during the Trike-A-Thon.” In eight years hosting the event, the center has raised more than $45,000 for St. Jude. For every $5,000 raised, St. Jude donates a plaque to the learning center in honor or in memory of someone who

A two-vehicle accident sent a pair of females to Magnolia Regional Health Center on Good Friday afternoon. The accident happened around 1:30 p.m. at the corner of Pierce Street and Cass. According to a witness at the scene, a white Dodge Neon with four passengers was southbound when it attempted to make a turn onto Pierce Street – entrance of J.B. Combs Apartments. The vehicle pulled in front of a white Honda Accord which was northbound on Cass. The driver of the Ac-

The accident is being investigated by the Corinth Police Department.

JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court has ordered a new sentencing hearing for a Lowndes County man for sale of cocaine. Freddie Webber is serving 30 years in prison after a jury found him guilty during a trial in September of 2011. Webber was found to be a habitual offender. The Supreme Court upheld his conviction in 2013. Webber argued prosecutors shouldn’t have been allowed to amend the indictment during his trial to seek harsher

punishment under the habitual offender statute. Prosecutors argued the indictment was properly amended before it rested its case against Webber. They say Webber was not prevented from putting on a defense to oppose the habitual offender issue. The Supreme Court on Thursday said prosecutors surprise Webber’s defense with the habitual offender amendment to the indictment. The court also said the judge erred in accepting the amended indictment and sentencing Webber.

CAMP CONTINUED FROM 1A

the contraband camp comes from the pen of the white people who were here administering the camp, protecting the camp and were teaching the population,” said Parson. “We certainly hope that one day someone will discover in a closet, in a trunk somewhere, a series of letters written by someone who was here.” Early during the war, slaves began to run away from their owners, seeking refuge with Union soldiers. This eventually led to the creation of the camps. “Wherever there was a garrison of Union troops, there was a contraband camp,” said Parson. Existing from November 1862 to December 1863, the Corinth camp was established on the land of Mary Phillips. Residents of the camp planted 300 acres in cotton and another 100 acres in vegetables. The food was sold back to the army, generating as much as $4,000 to $5,000 a month during the camp’s heyday around May 1863. That’s “big money in 1863 dollars,” said Parson, and it gave residents their first paydays.

Park Ranger Tom Parson speaks about the role of farming at the contraband camp. The American Missionary Association established the camp’s school, which had 100 children enrolled at the start. “They began to teach children to read,” said Parson. “I don’t think I can overstate the significance of teaching a child to read at that point.

Day to recognize health condition BOONEVILLE — Booneville Mayor Derrick Blythe recently signed a proclamation in honor of April 19 being A Day of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness in Booneville. Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a birth defect that occurs when the diaphragm does not fully form, allowing organs to enter

the chest cavity which inhibits lung growth. CDH strikes one in every 2,500 babies. The cause is not yet known. CDH is as common as spinda bifida and cystic fibrosis; however, very few people know about it or are aware of it. “My family and I had never heard of CDH until our son was born with it seven years ago,” said Milinda Floyd. “We see Bryer struggle every day due to CDH, although he has learned to overcome some challenges in every day life.” Learn more about CDH at www.SaveTheCherubs.org.

On this date: In 1775, the American Revolutionary War began with the battles of Lexington and Concord. In 1861, a week after the Civil War began, President Abraham Lincoln authorized a blockade of Southern ports. In 1912, a special subcommittee of the Senate Commerce Committee opened hearings in New York into the Titanic disaster. In 1939, Connecticut became the last of the original 13 colonies to ratify the Bill of Rights, 147 years after it took effect. In 1943, during World War II, tens of thousands of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began a valiant but ultimately futile battle against Nazi forces. In 1951, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, relieved of his Far East command by President Harry S. Truman, bade farewell in an address to Congress in which he quoted a line from a ballad: “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.” In 1960, South Korean students began an uprising that toppled the government of President Syngman Rhee a week later. The South West African People’s Organization (SWAPO) was founded in Namibia. In 1993, the 51-day siege at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, ended as fire destroyed the structure after federal agents began smashing their way in; dozens of people, including sect leader David Koresh, were killed. In 1994, a Los Angeles jury awarded $3.8 million to beaten motorist Rodney King. The Supreme Court, 6-3, outlawed the practice of excluding people from juries because of their gender. In 1995, a truck bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. (Bomber Timothy McVeigh was later convicted of federal murder charges and executed.)

Local students place in Scholars Bowl competition A pair of students from Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Mississippi Organization for Associate Degree Nursing Student Association (MOSA) showed that the college not only prepares them for classroom work but also provides them with realworld knowledge in late March. Brooke Crenshaw of Rienzi and Ariel Ford of Corinth captured third place in the Scholars Bowl competition at the annual Organization for Associated Degree Nursing – Mississippi Chapter (M-OADN)/ Mississippi Organization for Associate Degree Nursing Student Association (MOSA) convention held at the Vicksburg Convention Center in Vicksburg March 27-28. Prior to the competition, each participating school had to select two individuals from its chapter that would represent the school in the Scholar’s Bowl Competition. Made up of multiple choice questions that

were previously submitted by nursing faculty throughout the state, the scholar’s bowl competition not only challenged students on how well they knew the material but how each would perform with real-world problems. Northeast’s MOSA has been active on the Booneville campus throughout the 2013-14 school year by holding various blood pressure clinics that help not only faculty, staff and students keep their blood pressure in check but the

Corinth, Miss.

The stupid hounding of Condi Rice If Condoleezza Rice were as self-pitying and politically crass as Attorney General Eric Holder, she would be wondering aloud what it is about her race and gender that accounts for the hostility to her. Rice’s speaking gigs on college campuses and her ascension to the board of the Internet company Dropbox have sparked protests calling for her to be disinvited, cashiered and generally isolated and shamed. Condi Rice is not a natural lightning rod. She’s such a Rich disreputable figure that she’s Lowry on the board of the Kennedy National Center and the Boys and Girls Review Clubs of America. She’s such a lightweight that she’s a Stanford University professor. She’s such a yahoo that she once accompanied Yo-Yo Ma on the piano. The mob nonetheless believes that her due punishment for serving the wrong administration in the wrong cause should be banishment. When the University of Minnesota invited her to give a lecture as part of a series marking the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, the school’s faculty roused itself. Roughly 200 of them demanded that the invitation be revoked, partly because she is unfit to be part of a civil-rights lecture series. What would give anyone the idea that a woman who was the nation’s first female African-American secretary of state, who experienced Jim Crow firsthand during her childhood in Alabama, who was friends with one of the girls killed in the Birmingham church bombing would have anything relevant to say about civil rights? The Minnesota professors say that it is in a “spirit of free expression” that they ask for the reversal of Rice’s invitation. Because nothing says free expression like shutting down someone’s lecture. They claim they would love to have Rice come to the school on some other occasion. Presumably to sit in the dock at a mock warcrimes trial. The Rutgers faculty reacted in a similar vein to the selection of Rice as the school’s commencement speaker. It called for undoing the decision, explaining that “a Commencement speaker, who is entrusted with speaking to graduating students about the direction of their future lives, should embody moral authority and exemplary leadership.” Does the Rutgers faculty really think Rice will urge graduating students to go out and start “wars of choice” and do “extraordinary renditions”? If the past is any guide, Rice will tell the Rutgers students about the importance of getting an education, of finding their passion, of being optimistic -- you know, all the truly dark stuff that animates quasi-war criminals. The protesters of Dropbox’s decision to put Rice on its board said it called into question the company’s “commitment to freedom, openness, and ethics.” In their brief against her, they didn’t raise any remotely plausible concern about how she would influence the policies of the company. The hounding of Rice, naturally, all goes back to Bush national-security policy. If support for the Iraq War is a mark of odiousness, though, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and John Kerry should never be allowed to set foot on a campus or sit on a corporate board, since they all voted to authorize it. As for interrogation, the most frequently cited act of “torture” is waterboarding. A total of three terrorists were subjected to it. The legality and wisdom of this Bush policy -- and others -- is certainly open to debate. But Rice’s critics aren’t interested in argument. They are offended by Rice’s very presence. As usual, her harassment is about narrowing the range of respectability so as to limit the parameters of political debate. This time, it is failing. The leaders of the University of Minnesota, Rutgers and Dropbox have refused to dump Rice. Of course, if the typical rules applied, the fierce opposition to her would be attributed to racism, sexism and any other handy “-ism.” Just imagine what Eric Holder would say if his opponents embarked on a concerted campaign to silence and shun him. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

NED’s chickens come home to roost When Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Empire an “evil empire,” the phrase reflected his conviction that while the East-West struggle was indeed a global geostrategic conflict, it had a deep moral dimension. If Americans did not see the Cold War as he did, a battle between good and evil, Reagan knew that they would indefinitely sacrifice neither the wealth of the nation nor the blood of its sons to sustain it. That is in the character of Americans. Jimmy Carter had sought to remove that moral dimension by declaring, “We have gotten over our inordinate fear of communism.” But with his “evil empire” speech, Reagan re-moralized the Cold War in what Natan Sharansky called “a moment of moral clarity.” Here we come to the heart of the matter as to why Americans want to stay out of any Ukrainian conflict. Americans not only see no vital U.S. interest, but also no moral dimension to this quarrel. If, after all, it was a triumph of self-determination for Ukraine to secede from the Russian Federation, do not Russians in Crimea and Donetsk have the same right — to secede from Kiev and go home to Russia? If Georgians had a right to break free of the Russian Federation, do not Abkha-

zians and South Ossetians have a right to break free of Georgia? Turnabout Patrick is fair play is Buchanan an old American saying. Columnist O p - e d writers bewail Vladimir Putin’s threat to the “rules-based” world we have created. But under what rule did we bomb Serbia for 78 days to tear away Kosovo, the cradle province of the Serb people? Perhaps some history is in order. Compare how Putin brought about the secession and annexation of Crimea, without bloodshed but with popular approval, with how Sam Houston and friends brought about the secession of Texas from Mexico, and its annexation by the United States in 1845. When the Mexicans tried to retrieve a disputed piece of their lost Texas territory, James K. Polk accused them of shedding American blood on American soil, had Congress declare war, sent Gen. Winfield Scott and a U.S. army to Mexico City, and annexed the entire northern half of Mexico, which is now the American Southwest and California. Compared to the Jacksonian, James Polk, Vladimir Putin is Pierre Trudeau.

Even in Eastern Ukraine, it is hard to see a moral issue. For the Kiev regime is loudly denouncing as “terrorists” the Russians who are taking over city centers by using the exact same tactics the Maidan Square demonstrators used to seize Kiev. If it was heroic for the Svoboda Party and Pravy Sektor to fight police and torch buildings to oust Viktor Yanukovych, the elected president of Ukraine, upon what ground do the usurpers who inherited his power bewail the same thing being done to them? Is there not glaring hypocrisy here? And where do we Americans come off piously damning what the Russians are doing in Ukraine? In the last decade, Putin has learned how to play the Americans’ game. And before winding up in a conflict we managed to avoid over four decades of Cold War, perhaps we should call off this game of thrones, and consign NED to the boneyard. Today, two courses of action are being hotly pressed upon the Obama White House by the War Party. Both appear likely to lead to disaster. The first is to arm the Ukrainians. This would likely provoke a war with Russia that Kiev could not win, and lead Ukrainians to

believe the Americans will be there beside them, which is not in the cards. The second option is the sanctions road. But Europe, dependent on Russian oil and gas, is not going to vote itself a recession. And should the West sanction Russia, Moscow would sanction Ukraine and sink what the Washington Post calls that “black hole of corruption and waste that is the Ukrainian economy.” As for more U.S. warships in the Black and Baltic seas and more F-16s and U.S. troops in Eastern Europe, what is their purpose, when we are not going to go to war with Russia? In the title of the old song, Johnny Cash got it right, “Don’t take your guns to town,” unless you’re prepared to use them. Undeniably, President Obama and John Kerry have egg all over their faces today, as they did in the Syrian “red line” episode. Yet they continue to meddle where we do not belong, issue warnings and threats they have no power to enforce, and bluster and bluff about what they are going to do, when the American people are telling them, “This is not our quarrel.” Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”

Watch out for Chicken Little science The cult centered on “global warming” alarmism is getting hot under the collar. People seem to have stopped paying attention and polls show “climate change” barely registers on a list of voters’ concerns. This can only mean, as losing politicians like to say, that their message isn’t getting through. What to do? Why shout louder, of course. A recent story in The New York Times sought to help alarmists raise the decibel level: “The countries of the world have dragged their feet so long on global warming that the situation is now critical, experts appointed by the United Nations reported Sunday, and only an intensive worldwide push over the next 15 years can stave off potentially disastrous climatic changes later in the century.” I guess we had better get ready for climate Armageddon then because China, one of the world’s worst polluters, is not likely to comply. The Obama administration and liberal politicians in general seem to promote climate change fiction in order to gain even more dominance over our lives. Apparently controlling one-sixth of the economy through Obamacare isn’t enough for

them. Most of the “reporting” on the subject is decidedly one-sided, including PresiCal dent Obama’s Thomas claim in his last State of Columnist the Union address that “The debate is settled. Climate change is a fact.” Science is never settled, or it wouldn’t be science. The Times story was about a meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in Berlin. To read it one might think there is unanimity of opinion on the subject by panel members. Maybe that’s true of current members of the panel, but it is instructive to read the comments by former IPCC member Richard Tol, who, among other things, is professor of the Economics of Climate Change, Institute for Environmental Studies and Department of Spatial Economics, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam. Professor Tol, writes Globalwarming.org, recently “accused the IPCC of being too alarmist about global warming and asked to have his name withdrawn from

its recently released Working Group II report (WG2) on climate change impacts.” In a recent article for the Financial Times titled “Bogus prophecies of doom will not fix the climate,” Tol explains why, “Humans are a tough and adaptable species. People live on the equator and in the Arctic, in the desert and in the rainforest. We survived the ice ages with primitive technologies. The idea that climate change poses an existential threat to humankind is laughable.” German meteorologist Klaus-Eckart Puls goes further. He has written that contrary to the alarmists’ claims of melting polar ice caps and rising sea levels, the rise in sea levels has declined 34 percent over the last decade. His report, which analyzed satellite data from TOPEX and JASON-1 and JASON-2 missions studying global ocean topography, concluded that the sea level rise has “slowed down significantly,” and that “...it should not be speculated on whether the deceleration in the rise is a trend or if it is only noise. What is certain is that there is neither a ‘dramatic’ rise, nor an ‘acceleration’. Conclusion: Climate models that project an acceleration over the last

20 years are wrong.” There are plenty of ways to check Puls’ conclusions, including www.climatedepot.com, which provides links to the papers and work of climatologists and other scientists who take a decidedly different position from that of the climate change crowd. Climate change is a fact? Don’t think so. The Washington Post’s Charles Krauthammer, writes, “If climate science is settled, why do its predictions keep changing? And how is it that the great physicist Freeman Dyson, who did some climate research in the late 1970s, thinks today’s climate-change Cassandras are hopelessly mistaken? ... Climate-change proponents have made their cause a matter of fealty and faith. For folks who pretend to be brave carriers of the scientific ethic, there’s more than a tinge of religion in their jeremiads.” Yet another reason not to trust climate change alarmists.

Late sign-ups boost health law outlook WASHINGTON â€” The outlook for President Barack Obamaâ€™s health care law is getting better, with more people enrolled overall and a much-needed surge of interest among young adults. The president announced Thursday that 8 million have signed up for subsidized private insurance and that 35 percent of them are younger than 35. Still, thatâ€™s only a peek at whatâ€™s going on with the nationâ€™s newest social program. The administration hasnâ€™t said how many were previously uninsured â€” the true test of the Affordable Care Act â€” and how many actually secured coverage by paying their first monthâ€™s premiums.

Moon-orbiting robot crashes as planned CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. â€” NASAâ€™s robotic

moon explorer, LADEE, is no more. Flight controllers confirmed that the orbiting spacecraft crashed into the back side of the moon Friday as planned, avoiding the precious historic artifacts left behind by moonwalkers. LADEEâ€™s annihilation occurred just three days after it survived a full lunar eclipse, something it was never designed to do. Researchers believe LADEE likely vaporized when it hit because of its extreme orbiting speed of 3,600 mph, possibly smacking into a mountain or side of a crater. No debris would have been left behind. â€œItâ€™s bound to make a dent,â€? project scientist Rick Elphic predicted Thursday. By Thursday evening, the spacecraft had been skimming the lunar surface at an incredibly low altitude of 300 feet. Its orbit had been lowered on purpose last week to ensure a crash by Monday following an ex-

Obama to update online privacy policy A new Obama administration privacy policy out Friday explains how the government will gather the user data of online visitors to WhiteHouse.gov, mobile apps and social media sites. It also clarifies that online comments, whether tirades or tributes, are in the open domain. The Obama Administration promises not to sell the data of online visitors. But it cannot make the same assurances for users who go to thirdparty White House sites on Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus. The new policy statement makes it easier for readers to now understand that the White House stores the date, time and duration of online visits; the originating Internet Protocol address; how much data users transmit from WhiteHouse.gov to their computers; and more.

Yazoo City teen killed in fiery crash YAZOO CITY â€” Authorities say a Yazoo City teenager has died in a fiery collision Highway 49 east. The Mississippi Highway Patrol says 17-yearold Jasmand Johnson was traveling north on Highway 49 Thursday when she passed another car traveling north. She completed the pass and then lost control of the vehicle. Troopers say Johnsonâ€™s car ran off the right side of the road and hit a ditch, then flipped several times. Johnson was ejected. A passenger, 19-yearold Latoya Goins, was not ejected from the vehicle. She was pulled from the car by witnesses as the car began to catch fire.

The lawsuit was originally filed in 2012 in Pearl River County but was transferred to federal court in Gulfport. A federal judge returned the lawsuit to Pearl River County Circuit Court last summer. The Picayune Item reports Circuit Judge Anthony Mozingo on Thursday ruled for the school district. Mozingoâ€™s ruling came after a twoday trial.

The lawsuit was filed by Jeffrey Dixon Sr. and Amy Dixon, parents of 15-year-old Jeffrey Dixon Jr. The teen was struck in the chest April 19, 2011, before the Picayune Memorial High School baseball team was to play a game against Lumberton High.

MSU dedicates West Point 4-H complex BY LINDA BREAZEALE MSU Ag Communications

WEST POINT — Representatives of the 4-H Foundation of Mississippi touted a 63-acre multipurpose youth complex as a great example of community partnerships during a ribbon-cutting ceremony in West Point Thursday (April 10). Under cloudless skies, Mississippi State University Extension Service personnel were joined by 4-H youth and volunteer leaders, state and local government officials, industry representatives and 4-H Foundation of Mississippi board members for the dedication of the Jimmy Bryan 4-H Youth Complex. The complex houses a nature trail, a 4-H shooting range, the

It is located behind the Mossy Oak Mall off of Old Starkville Road. “This complex is one of the best examples of community collaboration, and it all started with Jimmy and Kay Bryan donating the property,” said Gary

Just In Time For Easter

Jackson, director of the MSU Extension Service. “Many people had to come together to make this possible, including the state legislature and local government officials.” Jackson described the Bryans as “visionary” for pushing for a complex that will benefit young people from across the state, but especially those in the Clay County area. Floyd McKee, president of the Clay County Board of Supervisors, said the complex will be an important community asset. “All the activities featured are things our youth are interested in. It’s great to have a facility like this right here in Clay County,” McKee said. Jimmy Bryan said donating the land in 2001 was the easy part. “This facility will give kids an opportunity for outdoor activities,” Bryan said.

Hobson Waits, chairman of the 4-H Foundation of Mississippi, said the complex mainly started taking shape when the Tommy and Brenda Howard family of Columbus contributed to the construction of the therapeutic riding center. “Construction started at the complex in 2009, and the city and county helped in building a new entrance to the property from the west side,” Waits said. “If not for the cooperation of the city and county, we would not be here today. They have been good partners.” Morris Houston, development officer for the 4-H Foundation, said the city also provided water and sewer service to the property. “We relied extensively on the support of the Clay County supervisors and West Point officials to develop this complex,” Houston said. Other agencies involved in the project included the Mississippi Land Bank; the Mississippi Land, Water and Timber Resources Board; Farm Bureau partners; and the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks. For use of the property,

contact the Clay County Extension Service at 662494-5371. Property details: The Elizabeth A. Howard 4-H Therapeutic Riding and Activity Center hosts therapeutic riding classes for a variety of participants throughout the week. The Mississippi Farm Bureau 4-H ATV Training Center provides an outdoor classroom for the lecture portion of the ATV Rider Course. The center also includes a training pad for ATV lessons and a mile-long trail through a 14-acre wooded area leased from the city. The 4-H shooting range is still in the developmental stage but is now used for archery, air rifle and air pistol target shooting. The Southern Ionics 4-H Environmental Center provides a covered outdoor pavilion for programs on conservation and the environment. A nesting and bedding area for wildlife covers several acres on the property. A one-mile nature trail, which is the same trail used for ATV activities, enables visitors to see amphibians, birds, squirrels and evidence of other small mammals and deer. The trail passes upland oaks, pines, Savannah grass and bottomland hardwood in the 14-acre plot.

Murder case to be reopened Associated Press

BAY ST. LOUIS — Hancock County authorities are reopening the 40-year-old kidnapping and murder case of 15-year-old Mary Ann Farve, a Bay St. Louis teen who was abducted on April 22, 1974. Authorities say Farve was riding her bike from her home in Bay St. Louis to bring her sister to school about a mile away. Her sister made it to school, but Farve never returned home. Her body was found in January 1975 in a field near the Discovery Bay subdivision in Pass Christian. She had been shot in the head. The FBI released a sketch in 1974 of a man seen by witnesses near where Farve went missing but no one was ever arrested. Sheriff Ricky Adams says authorities in Bay St. Louis, Harrison County and the FBI will join the investigation. “It is an unsolved crime and one of the most heinous ones in the history of our county,” Adam said Thursday at a news conference. “It is our duty and obligation to locate this killer, whether he is dead or alive.”

Dear Annie: I would like to comment on Gail Rae-Garwood’s letter about kidney disease. I retired in 2010, and like a lot of retirees, I was complacent about my health. I had been taking insulin for my diabetes for 20 years and had high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure. I finally went in for my annual checkup and was shocked to learn that I had anemia and stage-three kidney failure. I had no symptoms for the kidney failure, with the exception of being tired. I had always attributed that to my diabetes and my age (68). My doctor told me to diet and exercise, but it was up to me to take ownership of my health and be proactive. Nobody is going to do it for you. To make a long story short, exercising and eating properly allowed me to lose 90 pounds. I reversed my cholesterol in three months and am off of medication. My diabetes went away in six months. In eight months, I reversed my kidney failure and am now completely normal. My BMI is in the healthy range. My wife has lost close to 100 pounds and reversed her thyroid sickness after being on medication for six years. So please tell your read-

Annie’s Mailbox ers to see their doctors regularly for blood and urine tests and to ask for a copy of the results. Take ownership of your health. Our successes have astonished our doctors. I thank God for waking us up. Now we hopefully will be around to see our grandchildren grow up. I will celebrate my 70th birthday this year and look forward to the new day. To our senior population, it is never too late to do something about your health. — Newbury Park, Calif. Dear Newbury Park: You and your wife are an inspiration and proof that so much of our overall health is tied to our diet and exercise programs. Many things can be improved if we make the effort. Thank you for sharing your story. You rock. Dear Annie: Please reconsider what constitutes pornography. In my opinion, simply looking at nude bodies in magazines or on the Internet is not pornography. If it were, then some of the greatest works of art should be

banned. What I believe constitutes true pornography is viewing sexual acts or specific parts of the body in a sexual way. Also, you might consider the fact that many older men use milder forms of so-called porn (girlie magazines, for example) to “charge” their batteries, which can benefit their partners. If this helps them only at home, what is the crime? — Nude Bodies Are OK Dear Nude: There is a difference between nudity as art and nudity for prurient purposes. And girlie magazines are fairly benign compared to what’s on the Internet these days. Our problem is with the photos that demean or exploit women or airbrush them into such a state of perfection that men can no longer appreciate real women. And those are just the photographs. But our concern is not about using pornography (of any type) to augment what goes on in the bedroom between consenting adults. It’s when viewing pornography becomes addictive and interferes with intimacy in the marriage or leads to virtual affairs.

Jesus Christ is risen and He awaits us BY JIMMY C. REED Columnist

One fine spring day, on my father’s farm in the Mississippi Delta, my boyhood best friend and mentor, Jaybird, told a wonderful story to a group of us children … a story we’ve never forgotten. As he slipped into the hypnosis of his bullfrog bass voice, we little ones clustered at his feet, leaning toward him like eager flowers toward the rising sun. He told us the story of Jesus. We had heard Jesus Christ called different names — Savior, Messiah, the Nazarene, Son of Man — and our young minds were confused. Jaybird told Jesus’ story in a way we could understand.

The old farmer put his hands together, palm-to-palm. Though gnarled by years of toil, they were beautiful, monuments to a lifetime of tending crops. Twice daily — at daylight and sundown — he clasped those hands together. At sunrise, he knelt before the Lord and asked for what he wanted that day; at sunset, he knelt before Him in thanks for what he got that day. More than eight decades later, these morning and night rituals of faith still comforted and reassured him. “Notice how each hand holds up the other,” Jaybird told us. Then, dropping one hand, he continued. “Without the support of the other, this hand tires

and falls.” He let the remaining hand go limp. “Now the hands are apart, unable to depend upon each other for support.” He brought his hands together once again. “This is what Jesus does for you … every day. He holds you up.” Jaybird explained that Jesus left His Father’s side in Heaven and came down to this world and lived as a man among men. Each day He used His hands to embrace, to feed, to heal, even to raise the dead, but most of all, He placed His hands together to pray for the people of the earth. With his hands still clasped together, Jaybird spoke again. “One evening, as Jesus knelt alone with His hands together

in prayer, talking to His Father, evil men came and took Him away. They beat Him, cursed Him, spit on Him, and condemned Him to die. They placed a crown of thorns on His head … they taunted Him, they plunged a sword in His side … they pulled the praying hands apart and nailed them to the cross.” Here the old black man held his arms wide apart. “But the evil men didn’t know — Jesus no longer needed to put His hands together in prayer. Beyond the cross, beyond the grave, He returned to His Father’s side, to the place where He had so often prayed that all God’s children would someday be: Heaven. Jesus’ hands are now wide

apart again, beckoning to all: ‘Come to Me, come to My eternal embrace.’” As stated in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Happy Easter, everyone. Jesus is risen … He awaits us.

We must learn to assess all of our options How do you decide the best course of action to take? What should you do in response to unexpected events? How should you respond when things don’t go as planned? How much time do you have to make a decision? Your life is shaped by the decisions you make. The decisions you make are based on the options available. Therefore, accurately identifying and assessing your various options is essential. Only when you understand your options are you in a position to make a sound decision. You are a unique individual. What might be a great option for someone else could be an awful choice for you. Before you are in a position to begin assessing options you must first have a thorough understanding of yourself. You must recognize your likes and dislikes. You must know your strengths and weaknesses.

Your objective is to pick options that match your desires and capabilities. Identifying the requirements of the Bryan various elements Golden of your life is also worthwhile. Dare to Live These eleWithout Limits ments include personal, work, family, social, financial, emotional, relationships, and spiritual components. Make sure you understand how each one fits into your life. Choosing options that conflict with one or more of these components results in undesired outcomes. Other aspects of yourself impacting the options you select are your knowledge and experience. If you don’t know a lot about what you are dealing with, or have little or no experience, you

need to either acquire knowledge and experience or consult with someone who has it. Accurate information along with a thorough understanding of your situation is also of paramount importance. If you misunderstand your situation or have inaccurate information you are unable to appropriately assess your options. Before you start to identify options, determine how much time you have. Any issues with an impending deadline need to be addressed first. You are seeking options compatible with the time available. If you get a flat tire while driving, your first option to consider is the location of the closest safe place to pull off the road. Where you will purchase a new tire is irrelevant at that moment. Once you are safely off the road and put on the spare, you can begin to look at your options for

replacing the tire. Before you select an option, you want to know what choices are available to you. Brainstorming is a productive process for this task. List every possible option. Don’t evaluate or rule out anything. List every idea, even if it seems farfetched or unrealistic. Having lots of ideas sparks your creativity. The best option may be a blend of the things you listed. Once all options are listed, determine the positive and negative aspects of each one. Now you are ready to begin assessing each one. It’s OK to combine pieces of your listed options to create additional options. You are looking for options where the benefits for you outweigh the disadvantages. Although other people will have opinions as to which option you should pick, your selection must fit your requirements.

When assessing your options, always keep in mind how much time you have to make a decision. You don’t want to miss out on opportunities because of paralysis by analysis. There is no way to guarantee a perfect decision. All you can do is make the best choice possible based on the information you have available. Learn from your past what to avoid and what to repeat. Accurately identifying all available options will improve your decision making. This process constantly evolves with time and experience. Study those people who are where you want to be and learn how they identified and assessed their options. Bryan Golden is a management consultant, motivational speaker, author, and adjunct professor.

In China, jar of French mountain air fetches $860 Associated Press

BEIJING — Beijing artist Liang Kegang returned from a business trip in southern France with well-rested lungs and a small item of protest against his home city’s choking pollution: a glass jar of clean, Provence air. He put it up for auction before a group of about 100 Chinese artists and collectors late last month, and it fetched $860. “Air should be the most valueless commodity, free to breathe for any vagrant or beggar,” Liang said in an interview. “This is my way to question China’s foul air and express my dissatisfaction.” Liang’s work is part of a gust of recent artistic protest — and entrepreneurial gimmickry — reflecting

widespread dissatisfaction over air quality in China, where cities often are immersed days on end in harmful pollutants at levels many times what is considered safe by the World Health Organization. The chronic problem has spurred brisk markets for dust masks and home air purifiers. China’s senior leaders have pledged to clean the air, partly in response to a citizenry increasingly vocal about environmental issues. But it is a daunting task that must be balanced with demands for economic development and employment crucial to maintaining stability. In February, 20 artists wearing dust masks lay on the ground and played dead in front of an altar at the Temple of Heaven park in a per-

formance art protest in Beijing. In March, independent artists in the southern city of Changsha held a mock funeral for what they imagined would be the death of the city’s last citizen because of smog. “If smog cannot be effectively cleaned up, what it will leave us is death and cities of death,” artist Shao Jiajun said. Liang’s contribution is a short, ordinary glass preserves jar with a rubber seal and a flip-top. It has three small, handwritten paper labels: one with the name and coordinates of the French village, Forcalquier, where he closed the jar; one saying “Air in Provence, France” in French; and one with his signature in Chinese and the date — March 29.
