Bicyclist hurt in crash with carrier BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
A Corinth man remains hospitalized after being hit while riding his bicycle early Saturday morning. Herchial Jones, 66, of 103 Oakland School Road, was airlifted from the scene to North Mississippi Medical Center in
Tupelo after being hit around 6:30 a.m. by a newspaper carrier delivering the Daily Journal. According to Debra Pugh with North Mississippi Medical Center, Jones is in fair condition as of Saturday afternoon. Jones was traveling northbound on the bicycle when he was hit by a southbound Honda
Accord driven by Ronnie Harris. The wreck took place at the intersection of Oakland School Road and County Road 216, less than a mile from Jones’ house. Corinth Police got the call at 6:41 a.m. after it was originally dispatched to the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department.
“It looks like it was a matter of the sun being in the driver’s eyes, causing him to not see the bike,� said Corinth Police Department officer Lane Fowler. An accident reconstructionist was on the scene following the wreck to determine the cause. According to the driver, Jones attempted to get up and
leave with his bicycle until first responders arrived. “He almost broke out the windshield,� said Fowler of the impact. “But if he would have had a helmet on, he might have been all right.� The accident is being investigated by the Corinth Police Department.

‘SOCO’ CONTINUED FROM 1A
The area affectionately nicknamed “SoCo,” because of its south of the main Corinth railroad tracks location, is booming with retail business. At the helm of the “SoCo” project are two well-known Corinth businessmen with a dream – to turn eyesore buildings into beautiful architecture. The Alliance’s Community Development Council recently held a business seminar featuring “SoCo” leaders Trey Albright and Stuart Green. “Those who have driven down Wick Street in the last six months have seen the transformation for themselves,” said Andrea Rose, community director at the Alliance. “It has been amazing seeing the hard work that they have put into that area.” “SoCo” was just an idea less than four years ago when Albright and Green partnered in a company called Property Solutions. Their goal was to purchase old, dilapidated buildings in the Corinth area and restore the buildings to their glory day. One of their first projects was the Corinth Machinery building. “At the time I felt like something had to be done quickly if we wanted to save the building … and I was right, but we were too late,” said Albright. “I had every intention on restoring the Machinery building.” Straight line winds toppled over what was

BEFORE — The King Norman building is on Taylor Street. the oldest standing industrial building in the state before Property Solutions could begin renovations. “I feel like Wick Street is my redemption to Corinth. My way of saying, ‘I’m sorry’,” Albright added. “I didn’t act fast enough and I lost the building I loved.” Redemption comes tenfold. In October 2012, Albright teamed with Green to purchase the abandoned strip of buildings on Wick Street from Steven Simmons. A few weeks later, the duo purchased the freestanding building facing Taylor Street across from the Long Branch, which will soon become a bakery. Then they purchased the yellow building, once home to a general store, on the north side of Wick Street. Lastly, the two brought the old King Norman warehouse building on Franklin Street. “We knew we wanted to clean up the block by renovating each building,”
AFTER — The King Norman building on Taylor Street is now home to The Venue.
Albright said it’s rewarding seeing other business owners in the neighborhood following their lead. “I think all this work has encouraged others downtown to work on their buildings,” said Albright. “It is very beneficiary to all of Corinth that we work together to make downtown as beautiful as possible.” Just this week, Property Solutions sold the land on the corner of Wick and Franlin Streets to the city of Corinth. The city is set to team up with The Pierce Foundation to create a green space area. The project has become a passion for Albright and Green. “This has been our labor of love,” said Albright. “It has been a long progress, but we love Corinth and we love being able to enhance the charm of downtown. I think we are going in the right direction.”
Albright said. “We had a vision of what we wanted it to look like.” Albright and his wife, Laura, traveled to downtown areas all over the mid-south looking for ideas. “We wanted to see what other places had done,” he said. “We went to Huntsville, Ala., and Franklin, Tenn., just to name a few. Both of these towns gave us some great ideas.” When work began on “SoCo”, Albright couldn’t help but research the history on the buildings. “The first building we started on, where Shirley Dawgs and Conner Slice are now located, was an old livery stable back in the day,” Albright said. “Horses would enter the livery on the first floor facing Franklin Street, walk up a ramp and exit on Wick Street when work was completed.” The ramp is still visible in the Conner Slice dining room. “Any time we saw an
opportunity to save something that could remind us of yesteryear, we tried very hard to save it,” the businessman said. “It’s those little things that will go a long way for ‘SoCo’.” By the time the block was finished, the team had already rented all but one building. Tenants included Lipchic Boutique, who relocated from a flood prone Fillmore Street building, Tee Rage Photography, Rossi’s RelaxStation Day Spa, and Exceeding Expectations. A breezeway was built to connect the front of Wick Street to a new deck and parking lot area on the back of Wick Street beside Cindy’s Place restaurant. A freshly finished storefront is still available between Lipchic and the breezeway. When the duo purchased the King Norman building, they didn’t quite understand the scope of repairs needed. “It was our hardest remodel, but it was well
worth it,” said Albright. “Prior to the redo, the brick walls were in piles on the floor, grass was growing and graffiti was on everything.” Workers added a new roof, concrete floors and brick walls and installed all new electrical and plumbing. Two full size bathrooms were added, along with a bar/kitchen area complete with ice maker and fridge. Albright dubbed the warehouse “The Venue” and soon it was hosting musical concerts, weddings, receptions, parties and most recently, the Alcorn Central and Kossuth High School proms. The building includes a courtyard and stage area and can hold up to 250 people Inside The Venue is a antiques and rental business called The Green Door Warehouse run by Green’s wife, Nan. The Green Door also acts as the booking agent for The Venue.
(The two businessmen will tell their story and show a presentation of before and after images at the second “SoCo” District Lunch Business Seminar scheduled for April 30 at noon. The seminar will take place at Corner Slice Pizza located at 112 North Franklin Street in the “SoCo” District. Lunch will be provided. The seminar is free to the public and space is limited.

rubbing shoulders with 1973 and 1974 runner-up Tom Fleming. “My immediate thought was how to survive this stampede of runners whose pace today was going to be a minute or more per mile faster than mine,” he said. Harrell went on to finish with a PR time of 2:36:27, good for 208th place. “Another 30 seconds would have put me in the top 200,” he said. Harrell would run nine marathons before cutting his foot while running on the beach. The injury put a hold on his marathon days. “I was in Boston about six years ago and thought I would go run Heartbreak Hill one more time,” he said. After running the hill, he had the desire to go back to Boston. “After completing the 2,000 miles of the Appalachian Trial in 2012, I felt like my foot was stronger and I could run
again,” he noted. He did. After a successful Austin’s Shoes Run with Rotary 5K, Harrell and his wife, Cynthia, headed to Virginia Beach to qualify for the Boston Marathon. “I needed to run under 4:10 to qualify,” he said. Harrell finished in 4:04 and was Boston bound. “Even if I had to drag myself, I wanted to go to Boston in 2014 because of what happened in 2013,” he said. Two explosions seconds apart near the finish line killed three and injured 264 more last year. Corinth runner Kenneth Williams, running in his 12th Boston, was among thousands of runners who were stopped less than a mile from the finish after the race was halted. Williams will be back for his 13th Boston on Monday. The President of Corinth Coca-Cola Bottling Works has organized a special run and shirts for those he knows didn’t cross the finish line last
year. Those runners are expected to go back Sunday and complete the short distance they weren’t allowed to cover last year. “There is a lot of pressure for me to do well, but I am looking at it as a run instead of a race … no one is expecting Peyton Manning to go to the Super Bowl 40 years after he played in his first one,” said Harrell. Should his ankle and achilles hold up, Harrell would like to qualify for the 2016 along with Cynthia. “I am too old to start the 12- to 13-year stretch like Kenneth,” he said. “It would be nice to requalify and Cynthia and I run Boston together … I will see how I feel after the first 2-3 miles.” Harrell plans on breaking the 26.2 miles into two races. “The first 20 miles you will find out if it’s your day or not,” he said. “The last six, you hope you are in good shape and can go ahead and finish it.”

after 22 miles because of the heat.” Harrell even had a Tshirt made to commemorate the occasion. The yellow shirt has the Boston Marathon course and “I Beat Bill Rodgers in 1973” on the front. “I met Bill in Jackson at the Mississippi Blues marathon and he motioned for me to come over,” said Harrell. “He got a big kick out of it.” Rodgers, grand marshal for Monday’s running, also signed a photo with himself and Harrell in from the 1975 run.

in 1974, Harrell was back in town for the ’75 event. “The urge for me to return was too strong to resist,” he said. 1975 marked the bicentennial of Paul Revere’s ride and the start of the American Revolution. It was also a day where everything went right for Harrell. “There are days when everything just seems to fall in place,” he said. “For me, Monday, April 21, 1975, was one such day.” Through the help of a friend, Harrell started the race on the second row where he found himself

Besting four-time Boston winner Bill Rodgers (1975, 1978-80) in ’73 was a highlight for Harrell. “I did something Bill didn’t do,” said Harrell of the twos first Boston event. “He dropped out

SCV camp awards two scholarships BY ZACK STEEN
Today is Easter Sunday, April 20, the 110th day of 2014. There are 255 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On April 20, 1914, the Ludlow Massacre took place when the Colorado National Guard opened fire on a tent colony of striking miners; about 20 (accounts vary) strikers, women and children died in the gunfire or were smothered by smoke from the burning tents.
On this date: In 1314, Pope Clement V, the first of the Avignonese popes, died at Roquemaure, France. In 1792, France declared war on Austria, marking the start of the French Revolutionary Wars. In 1861, Col. Robert E. Lee resigned his commission in the United States Army. (Lee went on to command the Army of Northern Virginia, and eventually became general-in-chief of the Confederate forces.) In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed a proclamation admitting West Virginia to the Union, effective in 60 days (on June 20, 1863). In 1889, Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria. In 1912, Boston’s Fenway Park hosted its first professional baseball game while Navin Field (Tiger Stadium) opened in Detroit. (The Red Sox defeated the New York Highlanders 7-6 in 11 innings; the Tigers beat the Cleveland Naps 6-5 in 11 innings.) In 1945, during World War II, allied forces took control of the German cities of Nuremberg and Stuttgart. In 1972, the manned lunar module from Apollo 16 landed on the moon. In 1988, gunmen who’d hijacked a Kuwait Airways jumbo jet were allowed safe passage out of Algeria under an agreement that freed the remaining 31 hostages and ended a 15-day siege in which two passengers were slain. In 1999, the Columbine High School massacre took place in Colorado as two students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, shot and killed 12 classmates and one teacher before taking their own lives. In 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil platform, leased by BP, killed 11 workers and began spewing an estimated 200 million gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico for nearly three months.
Ten years ago: A tornado tore through north-central Illinois, killing eight people. A judge ordered Multnomah County, Ore., to stop issuing same-sex marriage licenses — but ordered the state to recognize the 3,000 licenses granted in the county.

The Corinth based Colonel William P. Rogers Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp #321 recently handed out scholarships to several lucky local students. The camp awarded two scholarships this year in honor of the area’s last two “real sons,” Willie J. Cartwright and James J. Nelms, Jr. A “real son” is defined as a individual whose father fought in the Civil War. Both Cartwright and Nelms passed away in 2011 and at the time were the last two living “real sons” in the state. “We had a large number of applicants for this year’s scholarships,” said Camp Commander Larry L. Mangus. “Some really great kids turned in some really impres-

was gone in about 10 minutes.” “We were walking around the block when we heard a big boom,” said Johnathan Horner. “The whole thing went up in flames.” “The fire started small, then all of sudden it was like it exploded,” added Horner’s brother, Matthew. All four units of the Corinth Fire Department were dispatched to the fire which closed down a block of Fourth Street. As neighbors could only stand and watch, firemen battled the blaze for over an hour as smoke billowed through the neighborhood. “It was instantaneous,” said neighbor Robert Gray. “It
seemed like the home was full of gasoline when it exploded.” The call to 911 came over around 3:10 p.m. “Mrs. Sewell was standing on the back porch on the phone when I got her back,” said Blackwell. “Mr. Bert was outside and was going inside to turn the gas off when I kept him from going back in.”

It’s a great day for historical preservation The Siege and Battle of Corinth Commission taking possession of the vacant West Corinth Elementary School property is a great day for historical preservation in Corinth. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday accepted the group’s bid of $1,499 for the property, which will change hands as soon as the deed is signed. “We feel very good it’s in the hands of some great caregivers and caretakers,” said Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin at the meeting. We couldn’t agree more. The property is now in the right hands. Kudos to everyone who helped make this happen. The purchased property does not include the playground area. Larry Mangus, present at the city board meeting with other members of Siege and Battle and representatives of the National Park Service, said the group will approach the Corinth School District about obtaining that piece of land. Hopefully the school district will follow the city’s lead and make the land available to the Siege and Battle of Corinth Commission. The rest of the property had reverted to city ownership, as did the South Corinth and East Corinth campuses, when the property ceased to be used as a school. The wording of the solicitation for bids was designed to limit bidders to use of the property only for historical purposes, such as interpretation of the Battle of Corinth. This was a great move and set the stage to get the property with the proper new owner. The National Park Service wants to use the property to enhance its interpretation of the Battle of Corinth. It gives the park service battlefield land neighboring the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center, provides another venue that can host educational presentations and provides storage space. Our vision is the removal of the building to restore the land as it was in 1862, when many brave souls died on the property during the Battle of Corinth. It is hallowed ground and should be remembered that way.

Drug courts continue to fight marijuana U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett of McComb, who started Mississippi’s first drug court in the 1990s when he was a circuit judge in Southwest Mississippi, is a member of the National Association of Drug Court Professionals’ board of directors. In December, that board unanimously approved a resolution opposing efforts to legalize the sale of marijuana and to reduce penalties for using the drug. It also supported a balanced approach to marijuana-related offenses, meaning “an evidence-based combination of treatment and behavioral interventions to achieve long-term recovery from drug and alcohol use.” Starrett and his fellow drug court professionals are correct. Marijuana is a harmful drug. In a perfect world, it and other mind-altering narcotics would not be in such high demand. The main reason to co nsider legalizing marijuana is to set restrictions on the sale and use of the drug, and to receive taxes on the sales and profits of it. It just seems better for governments to get their share of the pie and to reduce the criminal element the drug trade now fosters. Another reason for legalization, frankly, is that this is one war that law enforcement will never win. There are simply too many buyers. The demand for drugs, despite a multi-decade “war” and despite obvious effects on the health of those who use them, has not let up. The debate over legalizing marijuana is sure to continue, with both sides presenting valid arguments. The Greenwood Commonwealth

Amazon collecting online sales taxes from Floridians Online retail giant Amazon.com this month began collecting sales tax for online purchases made by Floridians. Why now? It’s because Amazon.com now has a physical bricks-andmortar presence in Florida. Florida requires online companies to begin collecting sales taxes once a company has a bricks-and-mortar “domicile” or physical presence in the state. Prior to the establishment of that presence, out-of-state online retailers, including Amazon, avoided collection of sales taxes on online purchases. As is current law in Mississippi, Floridians were supposed to voluntarily pay their sales taxes themselves when they made purchases from online retailers – which also as in Mississippi, most buyers simply don’t do. Amazon’s decision came after the company revealed plans to build two “fulfillment” or distribution centers in Florida along Interstate 4. A year ago, the U.S. Senate by a vote of 63 to 30 passed the Marketplace Fairness Act (MFA), which would empower states to collect sales tax out-of-state online purchases. The bill would exempt small busi-
nesses that earn less than $1 million annually from out-ofstate sales. After passSid Salter ing the SenColumnist ate, the bill was referred to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee. There, hearings in March focused less on passing the Senate-backed bill and more on seeking alternative proposals that would allow states to collect the sales taxes that are already owed but unable to collect. One false premise that the House hearings seemed to knock down was the red herring that the taxes proposed in the Marketplace Fairness Act were in any way “new taxes.” But with mid-term congressional elections underway, look for the can to continue to be kicked down the road on this issue until after November. But the recent Florida events are helping to shape the ongoing national debate. The nation’s bricksand-mortar retailers – many of whom originally opposed online sales tax collection – are now supporting MFA because they say that Congress shouldn’t pick “winners and losers”
between big box retailers and online retailers like Amazon. Proponents of MFA say the new law would balance an unfair advantage that online retailers currently enjoy over traditional bricks-and-mortar stores. Current law prohibits states from collecting sales taxes from retailers who have no physical location or “nexus” in their state. The Congressional Research Service cited federal estimates of $4.1 trillion in online sales in 2010, which amounts to 16.1 percent of all U.S. sales. Estimates of foregone sales tax revenue from these transactions total some $23 billion, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. The NCSL identifies an annual $303.4 million in uncollected Mississippi sales tax revenues. What is lost in translation in the political debate over this issue is the truly bogus claim that “Internet taxes” are new taxes. That’s where the opponents of this legislation engage in the old bait and switch. The fact is that collecting online sales tax is simply full enforcement of a tax that Mississippi purchasers have owed since 1932. The MFA doesn’t tax the Internet. It makes goods
purchased on the Internet subject to the same tax collected daily on counter sales of exactly the same goods. So, as a matter of fact, the subject under debate is online sales tax collection. U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi, RWyoming, the MFA’s author, said: “My Marketplace Fairness bill doesn’t create a new tax or raise any tax. It allows a state to enforce its own laws without having to ask Washington for permission,” Enzi said. More to the point, a failure to make full collection of existing sales taxes coupled with soaring online sales will put state and local governments in the position of either crippling reductions in service or the scarier prospect of increasing other taxes to make up the difference. Florida’s expected to take in $80 million from Amazon’s collection of existing Florida sales taxes on online buyers in their own state. And that’s just from one company’s sales. That’s not new taxes. That’s taxing new technology the same way you tax the old technology and at the very same existing rate. Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist. Contact him at sidsalter@sidsalter.com.
You cannot be in a gang in Chicago BY ROGER SIMON Columnist
It rose to 80 degrees in Chicago on Saturday, the warmest day of the year so far, and a spasm of gunfire quickly followed. Over 36 hours, at least 36 people were shot. The Chicago Sun-Times noted that “shootings each weekend for the last four weeks have risen steadily: 17, 19, 25” and now had set a record in the 30s. Beyond the shock of the sheer numbers involved, the individual stories are heart-wrenching. Jasmine Martinez, 24, “was shot twice in the head early Sunday while driving on the West Side,” the Sun-Times reported. “She was clinging to life at Stroger Hospital on Sunday, but doctors told her mother, Myrna Flores, that her daughter was brain dead and there was not much hope.” “How are we going to tell her kids?” her mother said. “She has a son who is 1 and a daughter who is 9.” I am living near the University of Chicago on the city’s South Side this spring, and if you thought the weekend shootings would dominate conversation on Monday, you were wrong.

such stories to see whether the shootings took place near where they live, and if they did not, well, life moves on. For some. It costs more than $65,000 per year for a student to attend the University of Chicago, and parents, quite reasonably, expect their kids to come out of the experience not only intellectually enriched, but also alive. The city does not have a private army, but it does have considerable resources devoted to the Chicago Police Department. The Chicago Justice Project, a nonprofit research organization, says “that as of 2010, the City of Chicago has more police officers per 100,000 residents than any of the top four largest cities in the country.” The study also notes, however, that though homicides have dropped significantly in each of the four largest cities from 1995 to 2010, “Chicago had the highest rate at (the) beginning of the time period and sadly, despite the significant drop in homicides, Chicago maintains a homicide rate greater than the other cities.” Almost all criminal justice statistics are controversial and open to interpretation.
The Fraternal Order of Police, the union that represents patrol officers in Chicago, has argued for years that the city needs more police officers to fight crime. In the meantime, after the bloodiest weekend of the year, the Chicago Police Department issued a statement that in part blamed gun laws for the violence. Bernard E. Harcourt, the Julius Kreeger professor of law and political science at the University of Chicago, who is also currently the Stephen and Barbara Friedman visiting professor of law at Columbia Law School, senses that a “disruption of the old gang structure” may be responsible for the current surge of violence in Chicago. The Chicago Police Department, he says, has been successful in arresting existing gang leaders, but this has had a “destabilizing” effect on gang structures at the street level. Former gang leaders are in prison, and new ones are battling for power. Another trend also may be contributing to the violence: Chicago has closed more than 50 schools, and “younger people now have to walk through blocks that are not on their turf,” Harcourt said.

There may be more than 600 gangs in Chicago, some controlling territory limited to a single block. “Young kids no longer have a choice about entering gangs,” Harcourt said. “They are automatically affiliated by living on a block.” Harcourt believes there is some indication that Chicago is in a transitional period with regard to gangs. The police have done a good job, he says, in getting rid of drug rings, but that has produced an unintended consequence: chaos within the gangs and paroxysms of violence. “Youths these days cannot not be in a gang,” he said. “And that immediately produces more micro-level conflicts.” Myrna Flores, whose 24-year-old daughter lies brain dead, asks a question of the gangs: “If you want to kill each other, why don’t you all go into a corral and do it and leave us alone?” If only it were that simple.

Health care site may be vulnerable WASHINGTON — People who have accounts on the enrollment website for President Barack Obama’s signature health care law are being told to change their passwords following an administrationwide review of the government’s vulnerability to the confounding Heartbleed computer virus. Senior administration officials said there is no indication that the HealthCare.gov site has been compromised and the action is being taken out of an abundance of caution. The government’s Heartbleed review is ongoing, the officials said, and users of other websites may also be told to change their passwords in the coming days, including those with accounts on the popular WhiteHouse.gov petitions page. The Heartbleed computer bug has caused major security concerns across the Internet and affected a widely used encryption technology that was designed to protect online accounts. Major Internet services have been working to insulate themselves against the bug and are also recommending that users change their website passwords.
Slide may take part of Wyoming town JACKSON, Wyo. — No one can say when the mountainside collapsing into this Wyoming re-
sort town will give way. But it appears increasingly likely that when it does, it’s going to take a piece of Jackson with it. Workers and residents have watched helplessly as the slowmotion landslide spanning hundreds of yards split a house in two and buckled pavement. Standing at the edge of the rocky slope, Jackson Fire Chief Willy Watsabaugh said the earth movements slowed somewhat Saturday. That gives crews a chance to re-assess the damage, yet leaves an uncertain fate for the businesses, houses and two apartment buildings in the slide zone.
US energy boom blurs political lines DENVER — The U.S. energy boom is blurring the traditional political battle lines across the country. Democrats are split between environmentalists and business and labor groups — and one key issue is the proposed Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline. Some deeply conservative areas are allying with conservationists against fracking, the drilling technique that’s largely responsible for the boom. There’s even more confusion among Democrats in the states as drilling rigs multiply and approach schools and parks. California Gov. Jerry Brown was shouted down at a recent state convention by activists

Autopsy to ID cast off body of child WORCESTER — All Massachusetts authorities could say for sure is that they found the lifeless body of a small boy, apparently cast off the side of a highway. An autopsy should reveal if the child is Jeremiah Oliver, the Fitchburg 5-year-old missing for months before police learned of his disappearance and began looking for him. Jeremiah’s case has led to criminal charges against his mother and her boyfriend and calls for changes within the state’s child welfare agency. Three state workers have been fired. “What we know right now is that a young child has died, and that his body has been disposed of in a heartless way,� Gov. Deval Patrick said in a statement Friday. “As we await news about the child’s identity, as Governor and as a parent, I feel a deep sadness.� The body found off a highway in central Massachusetts matched Jeremiah’s height and weight, authorities said. Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said authorities can’t make a positive identification until the state medical examiner conducts an autopsy.

State Toyota facility builds cars for export BLUE SPRINGS — Toyota officials at the car manufacturer’s Blue Springs facility are celebrating the production of the first Corolla built at the plant for export. Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant joined Toyota officials Thursday to mark the occasion. WLBT-TV reports that the plant will export more than 7,500 Corollas to 18 countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean this year. Toyota Mississippi employs 2,000 people.
Man pleads guilty in exploitation case PASCAGOULA — An Ocean Springs man has pleaded guilty to four counts of child exploitation for having images of children engaged in sex acts on computers at his father’s home. Court records show 27-year-old Francis Austyn Hawkins also pleaded guilty this month to additional charges of credit card fraud and receiving stolen property — a coin collection. Hawkins entered the plea before Circuit Judge Dale Harkey, The Sun Herald reported. Sentencing was set for May 23. Ocean Springs police arrested Hawkins in January 2011 at a home in east Ocean Springs, where he lived with his father. At the home, authorities said they seized “several downloads of child pornography as well as a large amount of
computer hardware and software.�
Wastewater board uses federal funds HERNANDO — DeSoto County Regional Utility Authority board is putting $1.16 million from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers toward two wastewater projects. The Commercial Appeal reports the projects include a pipeline tying the Short Fork plant and the Coldwater River, and the closeout of three offline western facilities. The authority is closing the old Walls, Twin Lakes and Lake Forest plants whose functions have been taken over by the Johnson Creek treatment facility. Authority board president B.J. Page says the closeouts, including all sludge removal and dirt replacement, have to be completed by the end of 2015. Work is expected to start this summer. The outflow line to the Coldwater River is a priority to address new rules that will be in effect in 2016.
Tougaloo aims for $1 million at gala JACKSON — Tougaloo College President Beverly Wade Hogan says she hopes the school will raise $1 million at a scholarship gala honoring civil rights activists. Two Rivers Gala/Tougaloo Honors takes place May 31 at the Jackson Convention Complex. Tougaloo is a private, historically black college in Jackson. The gala will honor six people with Light of
Justice awards. Those still living are Jackson attorney Isaac Byrd; actors and philanthropists Timothy L. Reed and Daphne Maxwell Reid; and Jackson businessman LeRoy Walker Jr. Two people will be honored posthumously. They are the Rev. Charles A. Baldwin II, who was Brown University chaplain from 1958 to 1990 and acting president of Tougaloo from 1987 to 1988; and Ruth M. Batson of Boston, who was president of the New England Regional Conference of the NAACP.
Vicksburg builds up for National Register VICKSBURG — State archivists have recommended the former Monte Carlo building in Vicksburg be included on the National Register of Historic Places. The Mississippi Department of Archives and History notified local officials last month. Nancy Bell, executive director of the Vicksburg Foundation for Historic Preservation, tells The Vicksburg Post owners of buildings on the national register can take advantage of certain tax incentives and grants to rehabilitate their building. Bell says a state landmark designation would allow building owner Linda Fondren to apply for special grants. Changes would have to follow state regulations that control landmarkdesignated structures. Fondren wants to put a restaurant and a multicultural museum and interpretive center in the building.

JACKSON — Mississippi’s unemployment rate rose to 7.6 percent in March as more people entered the labor force than could find jobs. A separate survey shows state employer payrolls fell for the fourth straight month, suggesting that Mississippi’s stronger economic growth in late 2013 may be softening. Both sets of figures — adjusted to cancel out seasonal changes — were released Friday by the U.S. Labor Department. Mississippi’s unemployment rate was 7.4 percent in February, while it was 9 percent in March 2013. It was the first monthly increase in the state’s jobless rate since June 2012. The unemployment rate is still lower than the double-digit levels it soared to
for more than two years during the recession, but Mississippi has the sixthhighest unemployment rate among the states. Rhode Island had the nation’s worst jobless rate, at 8.7 percent, while North Dakota retained the lowest jobless rate at 2.4 percent. Unemployment rates fell in 21 states, rose in 17 and were flat in 12. The national unemployment rate was flat from February to March at 6.7 percent, but below the 7.5 percent level of March 2013. The Labor Department found 96,000 Mississippians were unemployed in March, up more than 2,000 from February but down from 116,000 in March 2013. The number of people with jobs held steady, but 2,000 more people were looking for work, pushing up
unemployment. It’s the first monthly rise in Mississippi’s labor force in almost three years, a period during which the number of workers fell by almost 6 percent. The unemployment rate is calculated by a survey that asks how many people are looking for a job. A second survey each month asks employers how many people are on their payrolls, a measure many economists use as their top labor market indicator. Mississippi’s nonfarm payrolls fell by more than 1,000 to 1.11 million. Payrolls have been falling since November, although the drops have been small, totaling less than 1 percent so far. But the state is still falling further away from its prerecession payroll peak. Payrolls now include 4.2 percent fewer workers
than the all-time high recorded in February 2008. Employment fell in Mississippi in sectors including trade, transportation and utilities; professional and business services; education and health services; leisure and hospitality and construction. It rose in manufacturing, financial activities and government. The broadest measure of those who are unemployed averaged 14.6 percent in Mississippi during all of 2013, the most recent figures available. That number includes people who are looking for work only sporadically, have given up looking or are working part time because they can’t find a full-time job. Nationwide, that broad measure averaged 13.8 percent during the same time.
School ratings reworked 70-year couple die 15 hours apart to prioritize graduation Associated Press
BY JEFF AMY Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi is reworking its rating system for school districts and high schools after federal officials demanded the ratings put more weight on high school graduation. The state Board of Education voted Friday to seek public comment on the revised rules, which would apply beginning with this year’s ratings. Those ratings will be released this fall using testing and graduation results from the current school year. State Superintendent Carey Wright said that when officials prepared to submit the new rating system for federal approval, U.S. Department of Education officials warned Mississippi that they would reject any system where high school graduation rates didn’t account for at least 20 percent of all points. Mississippi’s original plan called for graduation to count for less than 10 percent of the points used to calculate Ato-F grades Staci Curry, a liaison to the U.S. Department of Education, told state board members Thursday that federal officials indicated they would reject the model because of insufficient emphasis on graduation rates. “It was quite clear there’s no way they were going to approve our accountability model,” Curry told board members. The state had developed the grading system through months of meetings. It was based on what, at full implementation, would have been an 1,100-point scale, with 11 segments including graduation rates each counting for 100 points. Mississippi has in the past run separate grading systems to meet state and federal requirements. But with support from the department, the Legislature passed a law requiring the state to unify the systems. In part because of that requirement, state officials concluded they had no choice but to rejigger the proposal.
“It was quite clear there’s no way they were going to approve our accountability model.” Staci Curry Dept. of Education liaison “My takeaway is we really did not have an option,” board member John Kelly of Gulfport said Thursday. Paula Vanderford, who oversees accreditation, said that the federal officials could have restricted aid to Mississippi if they had rejected the grading system. “It could lead to earmarking or withholding of federal funds and increased monitoring,” she said Thursday. The new system will have 1,000 points, with graduation counting for 200 points. It will cut to 50 points the following four components: scores on the state U.S. history exam, scores on the state biology exam, ACT test scores and accelerated classes. Projections show that a heavier weight on graduation rates could shift some schools out of the F category into the D category. Using last year’s test data, D-rated high schools would climb from 29 percent to 35 percent, while the share of F-rated high schools would fall from 18 percent to 12 percent. Wright said that overall, the shares of grades wouldn’t change much. In both cases, almost half of the state’s high schools could be rated D or F. “The distribution looked very similar,” Wright said Thursday. “If anything squished the bellshaped curve a little closer to the middle.” The department didn’t release projections for district-level ratings. Because many components of a district rating are based on things that only happen in high schools, district ratings are very dependent on high school ratings.
NASHPORT, Ohio — A couple who held hands at breakfast every morning even after 70 years of marriage have died 15 hours apart. Helen Felumlee, of Nashport, died at 92 on April 12. Her husband, 91-year-old Kenneth Felumlee, died the next morning. The couple’s eight children say the two had been inseparable since meeting as teenagers, once sharing the bottom of a bunk bed on a ferry rather than sleeping one night apart, the Zanesville Times Recorder reported. They remained deeply in love until the very end, even eating breakfast together while holding hands, said their daughter, Linda Cody. “We knew when one went, the other was going to go,” she said. According to Cody, about 12 hours after Helen died, Kenneth looked at his children and said, “Mom’s dead.” He quickly began to fade and was surrounded by 24 of his
closest family members and friends when he died the next morning. “He was ready,” Cody said. “He just didn’t want to leave her here by herself.” Son Dick Felumlee said his parents died of old age, surrounded by family. “At Dad’s bed we were singing his favorite hymns, reading scriptures and praying with him,” he told The Associated Press in an email. “It was a going away party, and we know he loved it.” The pair had known each other for several years when they eloped in Newport, Ky., across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, on Feb. 20, 1944. At two days shy of his 21st birthday, Kenneth — who went by Kenny — was too young to marry in Ohio. “He couldn’t wait,” son Jim Felumlee said. Kenneth worked as a railroad car inspector and mechanic before becoming a mail carrier for the Nashport Post Office. He was active in his Nashport-Irville United
Methodist Church as a Sunday school teacher. Helen stayed at home, not only cooking and cleaning for her own family but also for other families in need in the area. She taught Sunday school, too, but was known more for her greeting card ministry, sending cards for birthdays, sympathy and the holidays to everyone in her community, each with a personal note inside. “She kept Hallmark in business,” daughter-in-law Debbie Felumlee joked. When Kenneth retired in 1983 and the children began to leave the house, the Felumlees began to explore their love of travel, visiting almost all 50 states by bus. “He didn’t want to fly anywhere because you couldn’t see anything as you were going,” Jim Felumlee said. Although both experienced declining health in recent years, Cody said, each tried to stay strong for the other. “That’s what kept them going,” she said.
Outlet mall seeks to use private funds Associated Press
SOUTHAVEN — The developers of an outlet mall in Southaven want to create a public improvement district so they can pursue private financing for infrastructure improvements to the site. Outlet Shops of the MidSouth would locate on a 324,000-square-foot facility to be built in Southaven. A public improvement district would have a board of directors that may issue bonds and collect assessments from property owners in the district to pay for the infrastructure improvements such as water and sewer systems, roads and other improvements. The debt is not backed by the city, county or the state.

ated within the city limits of the municipality, the city has to approve that. “We have to approve a public hearing, and then later we may approve the actual PID. The PID has its own board and can raise private financing by issuing bonds,” Musselwhite said. “The PID affects no one except the people in the PID, and in this case that would be the retail businesses,” Musselwhite said. “It will have no impact on the citizens within the city of Southaven.” Memphis-based developers Poag & McEwen Lifestyle Centers, part of the development group building the outlet mall, has already qualified and been approved for $34 million in sales tax rebates.

For Heather Mauney, owning her own business has been both a blessing and a challenge. “It has been a huge responsibility, but it has also given me a sense of strength and allowed me to build confidence I never had before,” said Formal Affairs Owner Heather Mauney. Since 2000, the 36-year-old has dressed to impress. “I opened it up as a hobby at first. I was in college and wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to go in, but the business took off and grew so fast that I never looked back. It was never intended to be a career, but just turned out that way. We’ve been blessed,” said the Northeast Mississippi Community College graduate who holds a liberal arts degree. The store, which specializes in pageant wear, prom gowns, attire for social occasions, jewelry, accessories and tuxedos is also a proud sponsor of The Miss Mississippi U.S.A and Miss Teen U.S.A competitions. “I used to compete in those pageants. So, it is fun to still be involved and help the girls prepare for them. The girls come in, look around and see what they like. We pro-
vide wardrobe for everything they need to use at National,” said the business owner.” Always on the cutting edge, Formal Affairs keeps up with what’s trending by attending a yearly market in Atlanta, Ga. to get an idea of what will be in style for prom and pageant season. “We’ve recently added boutique clothing to our inventory. It’s just something fun and different to choose from,” said the Corinth native. Though she never expected to still be selling dresses 14 years later, Mauney has enjoyed the experience and finds satisfaction in helping others look and feel their best. “For me it’s important to stay disciplined and be here as much as possible because I know that no one can run my business like I can. I enjoy being involved in customers lives, meeting new people and having the opportunity to share in their special moments. My goal is to be helpful, provide good customer service and find something that meets their standards, needs and expectations,” said Mauney, who enjoys assisting others. While she considers each event to be exciting, the dress store owner looks most forward to
prom season. “I enjoy prom most because it’s a turning point before graduation, something which happens only once or twice in their lives if they go to a junior prom. I like watching the girls come in and purchase based on their
unique styles and personalities,” she explained. When she’s not helping others be polished and confident, Mauney enjoys spending time with her husband Matt, working outside in her yard, running, exercising and doing other outdoor activities.

Grieving daughter anticipates Mother’s Day with anxiety DEAR ABBY: It has been a year since my mother passed away. The month of February was especially tough because it was the month of her birthday and also the month in which she died. Mother’s Day will be here soon, and I’m already feeling bitter, anticipating all of the commercials, advertising, brunches and everything. I don’t want to be bitter about Mother’s Day, but I am. How do people typically celebrate Mother’s Day when they have lost their mother? — JODY IN KEARNEY, NEB. DEAR JODY: Please accept my condolences for the loss of your mother. If you have siblings, you might find it comforting to talk with them about your feelings. If not, then spend the day quietly, being grateful for the precious time you had with your mother and the many lessons she taught you. I can’t speak for others, but that’s how I have coped with the loss of my mother, and I’m sure others do it, too. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Glen,” and I have been dating for two years. Over the past few months he has been pushing me to open a joint checking account with him. I have tried explaining that I don’t feel like it’s a good idea
until we are engaged. But every time I say no, he gets upset and angry. Am I wrong for Abigail not wantto put Van Buren ing our finances together, Dear Abby and how do I make him see my side? — CAREFUL IN THE MIDWEST DEAR CAREFUL: You are absolutely NOT wrong, and you should not have to justify your discomfort with the idea of pooling your money with anyone to whom you are not married. In fact, Glen should be trying to explain why he is pushing you into making such a foolish decision. His “anger and upset” are either attempts to bully you into doing what he wants, or a sign of desperation to get access to your hard-earned money. If you are at all tempted to relent, I URGE you to first talk to a lawyer about what the ramifications could be if the relationship went sour. DEAR ABBY: I have a 15-year-old next-door neighbor who loves to come to my house and visit when my preschoolage grandchildren are here.
She always overstays her welcome, staying past the girls’ bedtimes. I know the girl is lonely and doesn’t have many friends, but I want some private family time with my grandchildren. I don’t want to hurt her feelings, but it is starting to interfere with my visits with my grandchildren. Please help. — GRRR-ANDMA IN TERRE HAUTE DEAR GRRR-ANDMA: I feel sorry for your lonely neighbor, who not only doesn’t have many friends, but may also not have a grandmother in her life. Your relationship with your granddaughters may be the only taste she has of what this special, loving bond is like. I don’t think you should cut her off completely. However, it is important that you have a private chat with the girl and explain that you would prefer she limit her visits to once a week (or two) because your grandchildren need alone time with you. TO MY CHRISTIAN READERS: A happy Easter to all of you! Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will be drawn to elegance but repelled by extravagance. The day’s events will impress you by striking a perfect balance, seemingly effortlessly. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s not what you say; it’s the way you say it that will delight your audience. Whether confiding in one person or entertaining dozens, you’ll inspire smiles and laughter. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The spirit of rebirth is alive in you. You’ll have the energy to pursue something you chased unsuccessfully in the past, only this time you’ll be much smarter and luckier. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Each moment you spend in preparation is time well invested. You will burst onto the scene and attract all the attention you need to win friends, earn support and generate the right kind of excitement. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you don’t have nearly enough
of what you need, consider this to be a blessing. It’s better to be a little hungry than too full. Hunger is exciting. It causes action. Gluttony is repulsive and causes inertia. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It feels to you like the whole world is a garden, and you are the master gardener with a thumb as green as Midas’ was gold. Whether you’re growing friendships or ferns, you’ll be wildly successful. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Faith is not solely tied to religion, though it may help you to create some kind of ritual around whatever you believe in order to weave it into your psyche and let it shape your daily life. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s been said that you can’t hunt two hares with one dog. Then again, maybe you’re not in it for the rabbit stew. You’d rather celebrate the bunnies and the dogs and somehow make them all get along.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’ll be in the mood to start something interesting and include as many people as possible. When you plant the seeds of friendship and fun, you will get results in unexpected places. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s a time for discipline and a time to enjoy life in a more relaxed way. You can trust yourself to know the limits without standing guard inside your own head. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A kind of spring-cleaning is happening in your personal life. A clearing has taken place, and you now will feel free to enjoy the empty space for a while before anything else comes to fill the opening. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). This is one of those days when it really doesn’t matter what you choose; it only matters that you choose. Make it easy on yourself. Investigate the choices of those you admire.

Braves, Kimbrel hold off Mets BY MIKE FITZPATRICK AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK — Craig Kimbrel hardly ever needs help with the ninth inning. He got some Saturday night. Jordan Walden nailed down the final out with the bases loaded after Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez pulled his star closer following a shaky performance in a 7-5 win over the New York Mets. Sidelined recently by shoulder discomfort, Kimbrel threw 24 pitches during his first outing in a week. The Braves didn’t want him to go any longer, and Gonzalez thought the reliever was rusty. “The good thing is that we got him on the mound and
got him pitching and we’ll go from there,” Gonzalez said, adding that Kimbrel was pain-free. “He was fine. He was good. That’s a good, positive sign.” Freddie Freeman had three hits and hustled his way through a weird play that brought the Braves two runs when the Mets were unable to challenge a costly incorrect call. Ervin Santana pitched seven crisp innings for his second win over New York in three starts with Atlanta. Justin Upton hit a threerun homer in the ninth to make it 7-3, and that became crucial when the Mets rallied against Kimbrel. They scored twice off the hard-throwing right-hander,
who loaded the bases with a two-out walk to Lucas Duda. That’s when Gonzalez went to the mound and lifted Kimbrel, who wasn’t happy about it. “That’s what makes him good,” Gonzalez said. “At that point of the game he don’t care about his arm, he don’t care about anything, but he wants to finish that inning.” Kimbrel waited an extra moment or two before reluctantly handing over the ball. “I’m a competitor and anytime you get taken out, obviously you get upset about it and I did,” said Kimbrel, who apologized to Gonzalez after the game. “That’s disrespectful to him, to the team and it’s just not the type of person I am and I felt awful about it.”
Walden retired Travis d’Arnaud on a grounder to secure his first save of the season and Atlanta’s seventh victory in eight games. Gold Glove shortstop Andrelton Simmons was shaded toward the hole and made a strong throw to get d’Arnaud. “I was ready. I’m always ready,” Walden said. Santana (2-0) allowed one run and struck out seven, giving the Braves their latest outstanding start. Despite several significant injuries in spring training, Atlanta’s rotation entered with a 1.47 ERA — best in the majors by nearly a full run. David Wright, Daniel MurPlease see BRAVES | 11A

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 13 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter to help the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the Memphis Grizzlies 100-86 on Saturday night in the opening game of their first-round series. Russell Westbrook had 23 points and 10 rebounds and Serge Ibaka added 17 points and nine rebounds for the Thunder, who nearly squandered a 25-point lead but recovered from a dismal third quarter to make 10 of 16 shots in the fourth. Zach Randolph led Memphis with 21 points and 11 rebounds, but he made just seven of 21 shots and got into foul trouble in the second half. Mike Conley had 16 points and 11 assists, Mark Gasol scored 16 points and Tony Allen added 13 points for the Grizzlies. The Thunder held Memphis to 36 percent shooting. Oklahoma City was the only home team to win on the first day of the postseason.
Wie captures LPGA tourney
Central sweeps 1-3A track meet BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Associated Press
KAPOLEI, Hawaii — Michelle Wie rallied from four strokes back entering the day to shoot a 5-under 67 Saturday and win the LPGA LOTTE Championship. The 24-year-old American finished at 14-under 274 after coming into the final round trailing third-round leader Angela Stanford by four shots after Friday’s play. It was Wie’s third career victory on the LPGA Tour, and first since taking the CN Canadian Women’s Open in 2010. And, Wie did it at home. “I’m just having fun out there,” said Wie, who grew up in Honolulu. “I was out there and nervous. Every time I felt nervous out there, I was looking around, I felt there was no place I’d rather be.” Stanford had her worst round of the tournament, shooting a 1-over 73 that put her at 12-under 276 and two shots behind Wie. Top-ranked Inbee Park finished third with an 11-under 277. “Today, just didn’t make the putts that I’ve been making,” Stanford said. “I wasn’t hitting it great today. Just mis-clubbed a couple of times. Just didn’t make good decisions.” Wie came to LOTTE and her home state of Hawaii coming off a runnerup finish two weeks ago in the Kraft Nabisco Championship when she closed with a 71 for her best position of the season. PGA Tour HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Luke Donald shot a 66 to take a two-stroke lead over John Huh after three rounds of the RBC Heritage on Saturday. Donald has done just about everything on Harbour Town Golf Links the past five years — except win. He lost in a playoff to Brandt Snedeker here in 2011, part of a run of four top-three finishes since 2009. Donald had an eagle and six birdies to finish at 8-under 205 and carry the lead into Sunday here for the second time in that stretch. Huh shot a 68 and was at 6 under. Major champions Charl Schwartzel (68) and Jim Furyk (71), Nicholas Thompson (68) and Ben Martin (71) were tied for third at 5 under. Matt Kuchar, ranked sixth in the world, shot 70 as part of a group of five golfers another shot back at 4 under. Donald’s performance capped a long day at soggy Harbour Town, where 65 golfers had to finish the second round before the third could begin with K.J. Choi, Furyk and Ben Martin tied for the lead.
Alcorn Central kept up its record-setting season when it counted the most. In the first of three steps to the Class 3A State Meet, Lady Bears and Bears swept the Division 1-3A Meet, which wrapped up Wednesday at Tishomingo County High School. All told, the two clubs -now a combined 59-1 -- qualified 47 entries and will be represented in 31 of 34 total events -- at Saturday’s Region Meet at Charleston High School. • The Central boys won their sixth meet of the season en route to posting a 30-0 mark. After placing second a year ago, the Golden Bears provided a program first by winning the Division Meet. “They’ve had very solid wins all season since the first meet at Potts Camp when they squeezed past Holly Springs
in the last event,” said Head Coach Bobby Purvis. The Bears qualified in 14 of the 17 events, doubling up in eight, for a total of 22 entries -- all school marks for a preRegional. AC set another program standard by winning 12 out of 17 events. Samuel Holley (800, 1600) and Brandon Turner (both hurdles) led the way among the individual champions. Central garnered three other firsts by sweeping the relay events. Other division champions included: Issac Byrom (pole vault), Trevor Godwin (high jump), Ben McIntyre (long jump), Joe Harbor (400) and Trey White (discus). • The Lady Bears also made qualifying history while defending their Division Meet title for the first time. The Central girls will send a record 25 entries after qualifying in all 17 events for the first time. They also doubled
up in eight events while earning their fifth meet title and posting a 29-1 mark. “This is the first time in the last two meets that we’ve had a complete girls team and they made the most of it,” said Purvis. Central earned nine firstplace finishes, with Mallory Wigginton pulling off the hat trick by claiming the high jump as well as both hurdle events. Lauren Walker (triple jump), Taylor Derrick (pole vault), Kolby Mynatt (discus), Ashlee Manahan (1600) and Alissa Ann Williams (400) also added first-place ribbons. Girls

Road teams get early edge in NBA playoffs Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Jeff Teague scored a playoff career-high 28 points and Paul Millsap added 25 as eighthseeded Atlanta rolled past top-seeded Indiana 101-93 on Saturday night, taking a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. The Hawks ended an eightgame road losing streak in the playoffs, which dated to May 2011. Game 2 is Tuesday in Indianapolis.
Indiana, which spent the whole season working to get home-court advantage in the playoffs, wasted no time in giving it right back with a dismal third quarter. Paul George finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Atlanta opened the third quarter on an 8-0 run, breaking a 50-50 tie, then pulled away when Teague scored nine points in a 14-0 run that made it 74-58 with 4:08 left in the quarter.

Boston race makes room for those affected by bombs BY JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer
BOSTON — “I need to run.” The messages started arriving just hours after the bombings, pleading for an entry into the 2014 Boston Marathon. For months the calls and emails continued, runners begging for an opportunity to cross the finish line on Boylston Street and convinced it would ease at
least some of their grief. “They’d say, ‘I’m not a qualified runner; I don’t think I ever will be. I train. I run. I could do it. But because of what happened last year, I need to run,’” Boston Athletic Association executive director Tom Grilk said last week. “It might have been because they were present at the finish, or they knew some-
body who was working or was affected. They might have been somebody who lives in Haverhill, Mass., and they were watching the race and it hit ‘em hard. That was true for a lot of people. “And we received some of these communications and we thought, ‘What do we do?’” The B.A.A. had already expanded this year’s field
to include more than 5,000 runners who were stranded on the course when the two explosions killed three and wounded 264 others. A few extra invitations were sprinkled among the first-responders and the victims, or their families; others went to charities and the towns along the Please see BOSTON | 11A

phy and Chris Young all had three hits for the Mets, held to one by Aaron Harang and two relievers in the series opener Friday night. Bartolo Colon (1-3) gave up three runs in seven innings for New York. Young cut it to 4-2 with an RBI single in the eighth off David Carpenter. Duda made a bid for a three-run homer with a long drive that was caught on the warning track in right field. “I thought it was a home run,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “I thought he hit that ball good.” A single by d’Arnaud brought the Mets within one, but Carpenter ended the inning by retiring Ruben Tejada on an easy grounder with runners at the corners. Upton’s fifth homer came off Jose Valverde and followed an intentional walk to Freeman. Atlanta was trailing 1-0 with two outs in the third when Freeman fisted a soft bouncer between the mound and home plate. Colon appeared to be in no particular rush to pick it up — and then he threw wildly past first base as Freeman hustled down the line. Two runners scored on Colon’s error, and Freeman was credited with
an infield single. But replays showed the ball hit Freeman’s front foot before bounding onto the grass, so it should have been ruled foul. Collins could not challenge the call because only batted balls that “first land at or beyond the set positions of the first or third base umpire” are subject to video review for fair or foul, according to baseball’s replay rules. Since the ball rolled right in front of the plate, the Mets had no recourse. “Nobody saw it and you can’t challenge it,” Collins said. “You have to understand that this is a whole work in progress.” Freeman doubled home a run in the fifth, and Upton scored on Daisuke Matsuzaka’s wild pitch in the eighth to make it 4-1. NOTES: Braves LHP Mike Minor (left shoulder tendinitis) gave up two earned runs in six innings during a rehab start for Triple-A Gwinnett. He could come off the disabled list next week. ... Backup outfielder Jordan Schafer injured the middle finger on his right hand but said he got X-rays and everything is fine. ... Young doubled in the fourth for his first hit with the Mets.

Foul trouble plagued both teams, but losing Griffin and Paul for stretches cost the Clippers at both ends. For the Warriors, Andre Iguodala fouled out with 3:04 left in the game and Lee played with four fouls.
Nets 94, Raptors 87 TORONTO — Deron Williams and Joe Johnson each scored 24 points, Paul Pierce scored nine of his 15 points in the final quarter and the Brooklyn Nets beat the Toronto Raptors in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.
Shaun Livingston scored 10 points and Kevin Garnett had five as the Nets won despite making 4 of 24 3-pointers. Kyle Lowry scored 22 points and Jonas Valanciunas had 17 points and 18 rebounds for the Raptors. Valanciunas is the second Raptors player to have a double-double in his postseason debut. Tracy McGrady had 25 points and 10 rebounds against New York in his first playoff game in 2000. Valanciunas also set a Raptors record for playoff rebounds by surpassing Keon Clark, who had 16 against Detroit in 2002.

route; some who said they were personally touched by the tragedy were already given bibs. So, in November, they announced that about 500 bibs would be available for those “personally and profoundly impacted by the events of April 15, 2013.” In 250-word essays submitted over the website, 1,199 would-be runners made their case.
Almost 600 had the connection the B.A.A. was looking for. “The anger, guilt and heartbreak I still feel today will never go away,” wrote Kate Plourd, who was in the medical tent, dehydrated and vowing never to run Boston again, when she heard the announcements: “Explosions at the finish line. Casualties. Dismemberments. Prepare yourself to treat the victims.”

Boston braces for huge wave of marathon visitors BY PHILIP MARCELO Associated Press
BOSTON — With an expanded field of runners and the memory of last year’s bombings elevating interest in one of the world’s great races, the 2014 Boston Marathon could bring an unprecedented wave of visitors and an influx of tourism dollars to the area. Race organizers, in the aftermath of the twin bombings that killed three spectators and injured more than 260 people, expanded the field of runners by 9,000, to nearly 36,000. The majority — more than 21,000 — hail from U.S. states outside of New England. Another 5,330 or so will come from more than 70 foreign countries. The rest will come from Massachusetts and surrounding states. More spectators are also expected to line the 26.2-mile course, which starts west of Boston in Hopkinton and ends downtown on Boylston Street. Some 500,000 spectators typi-
“I’m going back because I want my kids and everyone else to know that this race will continue to stand for all that is good and right in life, and that no person or act will every take that away.” Sarah Stenn A Sagaponack, N.Y., resident, who finished last year’s marathon about 45 minutes before the bombs detonated cally line the race route; this year, officials estimate the crowds might exceed a million on Monday. Nothing could keep Sarah Stenn, who lives in Sagaponack, N.Y., and finished last year’s marathon about 45 minutes before the bombs detonated, from returning. “Last year, we all saw the worst of humanity, and it was met by the best of humanity,” said Stenn, who is making the trip with her husband, two daughters and her 87-year-old father. “I’m going back because
I want my kids and everyone else to know that this race will continue to stand for all that is good and right in life, and that no person or act will every take that away.” Patrick Moscaritolo, president of the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau, expects the marathon will generate more than $175 million in economic activity over about five days. That’s up from previous year projections of $130 million to $140 million. “This is not a one-day race,” Moscaritolo said. “It’s never
been, and I think this year it will be far from that. ... For all sorts of reasons, people are coming out, and they want to stand with the runners and make a statement of support.” Despite the likely economic boon, local businesses are not focused on the bottom line, officials say. “It’s hard to talk about it in dollars and cents, because people’s lives have been lost,” Moscaritolo said. “The bottom line is that people had promised this race would come back bigger and stronger than ever before, and, by the looks of it, that is going to be the case.” One clear sign of how busy the Boston area is expected to be this weekend is the pace for hotel bookings. Officials say this year’s demand has been the strongest since perhaps the race’s centennial in 1996. Moscaritolo estimated earlier this week that the occupancy rate in the 23,000 or so hotel rooms in Boston and Cambridge
was at nearly 90 percent. That’s up from about 83 to 84 percent for previous marathons, said Moscaritolo, adding that there are still plenty of options for last minute travelers, with some 27,000 more hotel rooms elsewhere in Greater Boston. Officials at Marathon Tours & Travel, the official travel agency for the Boston Athletic Association, which organizes the race, say they are working with hotels south and west of the city to help meet demand. “Most of the time, we’re usually looking at hotels toward the finish line because people want to finish the race and get right back to their room,” said Kelly McLay, the company’s sales and marketing manager. And it’s not just the marathon putting pressure on hotels, said Paul Sacco, of the Massachusetts Lodging Association. This year’s race comes at a busy travel time overall, coinciding with Passover, Easter and spring breaks.
NASA’s space station Robonaut getting legs BY MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Robonaut, the first out-of-this-world humanoid, is finally getting its space legs. For three years, Robonaut has had to manage from the waist up. This new pair of legs means the experimental robot — now stuck on a pedestal — is going mobile at the International Space Station. “Legs are going to really kind of open up the robot’s horizons,” said Robert Ambrose from NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. It’s the next big step in NASA’s quest to develop robotic helpers for astronauts. With legs, the 8-foot Robonaut will be able to climb throughout the 260-mile-high outpost, performing mundane cleaning chores and fetching things for the human crew. The robot’s gangly, contortionist-bending legs are packed aboard a SpaceX supply ship that launched Friday, more than a month late. It was the private company’s fourth shipment to the space station for NASA and is due to arrive Easter Sunday morning. Robonaut 2 — R2 for short — has been counting down the days. “Legs are on the way!” read a message Friday on its Twitter account, @AstroRobonaut. (OK, so it’s actually a Johnson Space Center spokesman who’s doing the tweeting.) Space Exploration Technologies Corp.’s unmanned capsule, Dragon, holds about 2 tons of space station supplies and experiments, Robonaut’s legs included. Until a battery backpack arrives on another supply ship later this year, the multimilliondollar robot will need a power extension cord to stretch its legs, limiting its testing area to the U.S.
“Legs are going to really kind of open up the robot’s horizons.” Robert Ambrose NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston side of the space station. Testing should start in a few months. Each leg — 4 feet, 8 inches long — has seven joints. Instead of feet, there are grippers, each with a light, camera and sensor for building 3-D maps. “Imagine monkey feet with eyes in the palm of each foot,” Ambrose said. NASA engineers based the design on the tether attachments used by spacewalking astronauts. The legs cost $6 million to develop and another $8 million to build and certify for flight. The torso with head and arms delivered by space shuttle Discovery in 2011 on its final flight cost $2.5 million, not counting the untold millions of dollars spent on development and testing. Ambrose acknowledges the legs are “a little creepy” when they move because of the number of joints and the range of motion. “I hope my knee never bends that many degrees, but Robonaut has no problems at all,” said Ambrose, chief of software, robotics and simulation division at Johnson. The grippers will latch onto handrails inside the space station, keeping Robonaut’s hands free for working and carrying things. Expect slow going: just inches a second. If Robonaut bumps into something, it will pause. A good shove will shut it down. “The robot’s not going to have as much fun as the astronauts,” Ambrose said. “No jumping, no somersaults, no flying.”

Lifesaving Labradors Professor shares tales of heroes on four legs For the Daily Corinthian
OXFORD — In a new book edited by University of Mississippi English professor Ben McClelland, readers get a glimpse at how the canines of Wildrose Kennel are helping save lives. “Lifesaving Labradors: Stories from Families with Diabetic Alert Dogs,” is a collection of stories that show how these canine service companions are helping people with Type 1 diabetes to manage their health care. The book is due for release in mid-March. As a dog lover, McClelland has enjoyed a lifetime of training dogs for sport, but participating in the development and training of lifesaving British Labradors has proven to be a life-changing experience. During a sabbatical leave from the university, McClelland joined the training staff of Wildrose Kennels in Oxford, where he served as an apprentice trainer and resident writer. He began blogging and writing stories about trainers, clients and special events. He also began working with kennel owners Mike and Cathy Stewart to plan a book about the diabetic alert dogs, known as DADs, which use their keen sense of smell to alert patients when their blood sugar levels are low. McClelland worked with 10 authors for several years to build a collection of stories into one manuscript through collaborative editing. Each of the dogs featured in the book came from Wildrose Labrador lines and/or were trained by Wildrose personnel. “Over the last few years, Dr. McClelland has spent a lot of time with these dogs and observed their rigorous training,” said Ivo Kamps, UM chair of English. “This book is his sympathetic account of just what these dogs are able to accomplish
and how they change the day-to-day lives of their diabetic owners and their families.” McClelland has contributed to or written several professional books, including “The New American Rhetoric,” a freshman English textbook, as well as Soldier’s Son, a memoir. This book differs in that it is a collection of nonfiction narratives from his personal experience. “We worked to emphasize those aspects of each person’s story that were unique to him or her,” McClelland said. “We tried to keep each story focus on the diabetics, the impact of the disease on their families and, of course, on their diabetic alert dogs.” Among the DADs named in the stories, readers learn about Mr. Darcy and Teddy Bear, the pioneers in scent research; Charlie, the first to join his diabetic partner in a public school setting; and Drake, who is adept at nighttime alerts. “The heroes featured in Ben McClelland’s work not only save lives, but they also free families from the nightmare of Type 1 diabetes,” said Neil White, author of “In the Sanctuary of Outcasts.” “Lassie and Rin-Tin-Tin
have nothing on these lifesaving Labradors.” McClelland and the authors are donating all book royalties to the Wildrose Service Dog Foundation housed at CREATE in Tupelo. The diabetic alert dog program is a not-for-profit entity at Wildrose. “These personal narratives by owners of DADs are both informative and deeply moving, and should be widely read by those in the medical profession, by sufferers from diabetes and their families, and by anyone who seeks knowledge and understanding, “ said Ann Fisher-Wirth, UM professor of English. McClelland is grateful for the support of the College of Liberal Arts and the university for granting a 2011 sabbatical leave for this research, as well as the Department of English, which granted additional research funds for completing the project. McClelland regularly teaches courses in nonfiction literature and writing, in advanced composition and in American fiction. He is married to Susan McClelland, interim chair of teacher education and associate professor of leadership and counselor education at UM.

Historic coast restaurant marks half-century BY MARY PEREZ The Sun Herald
BILOXI — Mary Mahoney thought it was the worst thing that could happen when the new owner forced her out of the lounge she’d operated at the Tivoli Hotel, yet it turned out to be the best thing for her family and Biloxi. Mahoney, her husband and brother turned a $13,000 loan and an empty building believed to be the oldest in the city into Mary Mahoney’s Old French House Restaurant. It took two years and the sale of the Carolyn — a shrimp boat her brother Andrew Cvitanovich owned — to finish the renovations, but the restaurant debuted May 7, 1964. In celebration of the 50th anniversary, Mary Mahoney’s family, who continue to operate the restaurant, will donate all
food and beverage sales May 7 to St. Vincent de Paul Pharmacy and Biloxi’s Loaves and Fishes. The Old French House architecture is charming and the Southern cuisine consistently memorable over 50 years, but what gained the restaurant its nationally known persona was Mary. Dressed in evening attire and wearing her trademark butterfly glasses — she had them in pearl, black and white — Mary made the restaurant her stage. She moved from scene to scene in each dining room, where people celebrated special events and savored their favorite dishes. Mahoney didn’t consider them customers. “Just new friends and old friends,” said her son Bobby Mahoney Jr., who continues that welcoming tradition with his sister Eileen Mahoney Ezell. Pictures, documents
and art on every wall of the restaurant provide a visual diary of Mary and Bob Mahoney and the restaurant. A telegram to Mary from President John F. Kennedy — Mary and Bob Mahoney attended his inauguration — is displayed among front pages of three major newspapers with the story of the president’s assassination. Plaques let people know they are being seated in the dining room in which Paul Newman, Denzel Washington and other celebrities dined. Bobby Mahoney said regulars tell him, “I don’t come here to eat. I come here for the experience.” Center to that experience is Mary’s family. Four generations have now worked at the restaurant and contributed to its success. Tony Cvitanovich took over operations from his father, and his sister Andrea Osman,
handles marketing and landscaping. The grandchildren contribute in other areas throughout the restaurant. The family continues to serve choice steaks, fresh Gulf seafood with rich sauces and their famed gumbo, which was on the original menu. “We ship it all over the country for gifts,” Ezell said of the gumbo. A “happy package” arrives every Christmas at the home of John Grisham, who wrote about Mary Mahoney’s in two of his books. The gumbo recipe is the masterpiece of original chef Elijah Scott, said his grandson Marshall Johnson, who Mary hired as a server 44 years ago. “She was the first woman I ever worked for,” he said. Over the years he’s served presidents, celebrities and generations of Gulf Coast families with
equal aplomb. Johnson went on many of the six trips to Washington when Mary Mahoney’s brought her dishes to legislators, though he missed the 1984 trip when Mary was one of seven caterers invited to serve President Ronald Reagan on the White House lawn. The restaurant has had just two chefs in 50 years. Georgo Trojanovich, Mary’s cousin from Croatia, came to Biloxi when he was 15. He went to school to learn English and into Mary Mahoney’s kitchen to learn Scott’s recipes, which he is still preparing along with Half Lobster Georgo and his original dishes. Mary, who died in 1985 at age 61, had said she hoped her success inspired others to achieve more. Her son said she was an ambassador, always promoting Biloxi and Mississippi. She was the first woman in Missis-
sippi to be named Small Business Person of the Year in 1982 and the first woman to be named president of the Biloxi Chamber of Commerce in 1985. The Mary Mahoney Memorial Scholarship was created in her memory at Purdue University. “Mary epitomized everything that is outstanding in the hospitality-restaurant industry,” Herman Zaccarelli, director of the university’s Restaurant and Hotel Management Institute, said in a letter to Bob Mahoney in 1986. He said Mary “had a great creativity in establishing a unique identity for her restaurant.” That identity remains a constant after 50 years and is what still draws Billy Harrison of Point Clear, Ala., and many others to Biloxi and Mary Mahoney’s. “This is our first stop every time we come,” he said.

Disney Channel’s ‘Jessie’ breaks romantic ground BY LYNN ELBER AP Television Writer
LOS ANGELES — The title character of “Jessie” heads in an unprecedented direction for a Disney Channel series: toward the altar. In a four-episode arc that will conclude the season this fall, 22-year-old Jessie Prescott dives into a whirlwind romance and accepts her boyfriend’s proposal of marriage. It’s the first time a lead character on the children’s TV channel has become engaged, said Adam Bonnett, Disney Channel executive vice president of original programming. “Jessie is an adult, and we felt we could tackle this in a way that still feels appropriate for our audience,” Bonnett said. The Disney Channel fo-

cuses on children ages 6 to 11, with “Jessie” also attracting 9-to-14-year-old “tween” viewers among its average weekly audience of 2.9 million viewers. It ranks among the top five series for children and younger teenagers, according to Nielsen company figures. Debby Ryan stars as the young Texas woman who moves to New York City to pursue acting and becomes the nanny for an affluent family with children adopted from India, Africa and America. The comedy, in its third season, airs a mix of new and repeat episodes at 7 p.m. CDT Friday. The budding relationship between Jessie and her new love, 25-year-old Brooks (Pierson Fode), is
“Jessie is an adult, and we felt we could tackle this in a way that still feels appropriate for our audience.” Adam Bonnett Disney Channel executive vice president of original programming handled chastely, as befits a Disney project aimed at youngsters. The couple is shown bonding over picnics in Central Park and on movie dates and in other such innocent moments. “The way we deal with this romance is very pure Disney fairy tale,” Bonnett said, and one with a surprise ending. Ryan, who will turn 21 on May 13, said she is far

from tying the knot with her boyfriend of a year, Twenty One Pilots musician Josh Dun. Her focus is on her career, including directing her first episode of “Jessie” this season and finishing an album she plans to release in June. But Jessie’s decision to marry young is not out of step with her and Dun’s social circle. “In the last year, we have seen close friends,

things through, following their heart and wanting to make the right choice,” he said. Jessie and Ryan were the right combination to break ground for the channel, he said. Viewers have watched Jessie “blossom” and have seen the actress grow up over the past half-dozen years on Disney Channel programs including “The Suite Life on Deck” and the TV movie “16 Wishes.” The actress has her own firm views on what saying “I do” represents. “It’s not about the dress, it’s not about the wedding. It’s about the marriage. That’s something we lose sight of when we’re so young and all we want to do is dress up and play fairy tale,” Ryan said.

five of them, get engaged, five. ... One couple is getting married next month and they are both 20, a year younger than me,” Ryan said. She sees marriage and commitment as “delicate” topics for the young viewers who watch her character for clues to growing up: “Your principal character is deciding whether or not she should start her life with a man.” Although romance is not something young viewers necessarily can relate to, Bonnett said, there are elements of the story that can have meaning for them. “Our audience isn’t dealing with somebody proposing to them, but they are dealing with choices they have to make in their life, and thinking
LOS ANGELES — For more than a decade, cinematographer Wally Pfister brought director Christopher Nolan’s cinematic visions to life. Now, he’s the one calling the shots. His directorial debut, the new sci-fi mystery “Transcendence,” has many elements of a Nolan blockbuster — eyepopping visual effects, a mind-bending story and an A-list lead in Johnny Depp. All of those things translate into high expectations for Pfister, who jokingly likens his newly christened director’s seat to an “electric chair.” In the film releasing Friday, the mind of Depp’s terminally ill scientist, Will Caster, is uploaded into a computer after his death, spawning an eerily unruly machine. At the heart of the story is the disrupted relationship of Will and his wife, Evelyn, played by Rebecca Hall. “Transcendence,” which was executiveproduced by Nolan and written by first-time screenwriter Jack Paglen, hooked Pfister because of the emotional weight put on the study of husband and wife and the increasing reliance on technology. “We start to wonder where it’s all going to go,” he says. “We are dependent on technology. It’s got us,” affirmed Depp in a recent joint interview to promote the film. Depp, 50, first met Pfister, 52, when they worked on Paul McCartney’s 2012 video for his romantic ballad “My Valentine,” in which Depp and Natalie Portman starred and Pfister was the director of photography. “I was immediately intrigued and curious from
(the) initial reading,” says Depp of “Transcendence.” “So many things come into my mind as far as the dangers of technology. Say I’m suddenly holding a gun,” Depp illustrates, lifting his left hand as his formidable engagement ring with Amber Heard sparkles. “The gun is not inherently bad. It’s a tool. It’s what we do with it. I think it’s the same with technology.” For his first directing gig, Pfister, who’s worked on everything from “Memento” to “The Dark Knight Rises,” swayed from doing a big action film. “I’d done a lot as a cinematographer,” he says. “What was important was telling some sort of character-driven story. Exploring human emotion. That is the logical reason to jump from visual storytelling to narrative.” Nolan will also release a thought-provoking scifi film this year: the time travel-focused “Interstellar,” out in November. But Pfister assures he’s not in competition with his long-time collaborator. “Chris is an old friend,” he says. “He has been incredibly supportive of my move into this.” The two filmmakers even shared crew members, including folks in the makeup, special effects, equipment, casting and editorial departments. But while “Transcendence” was shooting, Nolan remained hands-off. “Chris never came to the set,” says camera operator Scott Sakamoto, who worked on both movies. “I think Chris let Wally take the reins and go with it to see how well he would do.” Although “Transcendence” marks the start of a new phase in Pfister’s career, he tackled the job with the ease of a veteran.
“He’s (an) experienced filmmaker,” says Depp. “But there are times when you look at a situation with a first-time director and you don’t know. But never was there a stumble.” Depp’s Will in the film is sharp, warm and ambitious. But he ventures into dangerous territory when his mind is uploaded into an operating system that’s connected to the Internet. Soon, powerful and oftenabusive capabilities verge on catastrophic results. “You have to be wondering, ‘Is this simply a soulless machine?’” says Pfister. “If you upload a mind into a computer, does it contain sentience and if so, does that affect the decision-making process of the machine? Inherently with Johnny, you want to know that he’s still alive. We love Johnny. The character of Will Caster doesn’t work without having a powerful, emotional person behind it. We needed somebody that you could fall for.” Depp was sold on the role after learning Pfister was directing. “We had connected and I knew the umpteen amount of hours of set time the man has had,” he says, adding that Pfister was passionate and “beyond prepared” when he arrived on set. Pfister also “created an atmosphere where everyone felt free to say, ‘What about this?’” adds Depp. “That’s a rare beast in today’s cinema. It’s all about getting it done: the product and the result.” “Johnny contributed dialogue and drove this project as if it were his baby as well,” says Pfister. “That is the kind of collaboration I’ve always wanted and probably the reason I got into directing — to play with other players.”
Billy Bob Thornton stars in ‘Fargo’ BY FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer
NEW YORK — After failed attempts and broken dreams, by golly, someone went and put “Fargo” on series TV. The 10-episode season premieres Tuesday at 9 p.m. CDT on FX. And it mesmerizes. As a furtherance of the 1996 crime classic by Joel and Ethan Coen that starred Frances McDormand, William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi, the TV adaptation is a wonder. Like that movie, the series is set in rural, snowglazed Minnesota, but 20 years later (in 2006), and is stocked with new characters, deadly mischief and a bounty of stars including Allison Tolman as a bright-eyed deputy and Martin Freeman as a nebbishy insurance salesman (distant echoes of the roles played by McDor-
mand and Macy in the film). Also on hand are Colin Hanks, Bob Odenkirk, Oliver Platt, Kate Walsh, Keith Carradine, Adam Goldberg, KeeganMichael Key and Jordan Peele, and more. At the core of its deliciously deranged narrative is Lorne Malvo, a sotto-voce psycho whose mysterious path brings him to the town of Bemidji, with many repercussions. Lorne is played by Billy Bob Thornton, who radiates still menace while sporting what he calls “a haircut gone wrong.” “This was not from a salon,” Thornton explains. “It was done by a friend. But looking in the mirror, I thought, ‘Wow — this dark character having bangs, which you associate with innocence, would be great.’ So we decided to
go with it.” The man bringing “Fargo” back to life after ill-fated tries by NBC and CBS in the late 1990s is Noah Hawley, who serves as the show runner, an executive producer and the writer of all 10 episodes. Somehow Hawley internalized the rules and deadpan tone of the Coens (who are also onboard as executive producers), then ran with their sense of twisted realism to create his own thing. “He captured the Coen Brothers’ spirit, got their vibe, and yet he didn’t imitate ’em,” says Thornton. “I thought, if you’ve done that, you’ve done something great.” And when he encountered Lorne Malvo in Hawley’s pilot script, “I don’t know why, but I just went, ‘Yeah. That fits: a hand in a glove.’
