Carriers ready to stamp out hunger BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

On Saturday, mail carriers hope to deliver lots of good will along with the day’s bills, magazines and packages. Corinth mail carriers are again participating in the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, which has

delivered thousands of pounds of food to the AMEN Food Pantry. It is a project of the National Association of Letter Carriers. “We collected over 13,000 pounds last year, which was up significantly from the year before,” said Buddy Shumaker, a Corinth mail carrier. “We’re hoping for the

same success this year.” It’s easy to participate: Letter carriers ask that residents simply leave a bag of nonperishable food items in a bag by the mailbox on Saturday. Acceptable items include things such as peanut butter, canned soup, canned meats and fish, canned vegetables, canned

fruits and juices, boxed goods such as cereal, pasta, and rice. “This is a really big part of the pantry’s intake every year,” said Shumaker. “We’re just happy to be able to do it.” The need is strong: According to Please see CARRIERS | 6A

Adventurer on 3,000-mile trip The ‘walking man’ passes through Corinth area BY STEVE BEAVERS

City puts youths to work BY JEBB JOHNSTON

WALNUT — A British-born adventurer is taking things one step at a time. Karl Bushby is picking them up and putting them down in a quest to walk around the world. His latest journey – “The 3000” – began September 3, 2013 in Los Angeles. Bushby’s trip will end at the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C. When the 45-year-old arrives at the embassy he will be seeking a visa from the Russian government to complete hits continuous walk. Monday, the former elite paratrooper in the British Army was updating multimedia from the trip at Subway in Walnut along with his attorney, Mosie Boyd. “I have been bogged down with multimedia,” he said while munching on some chips. “There is a large amount of video stuff that needs going through.” The walking man had been in the Tippah County town since the weekend. Traveling 20 miles day, Bushby spends around seven hours on the road. He began his trek to Corinth via U.S. Highway 72 Tuesday morning. “People have been amazing,” said Bushby with a smile. “Too much so -- it has slowed me down.” Walking isn’t something new to Bushby.

Opera star expects ‘sweet time’ BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

It all started in Corinth for an international operatic star performer. Jane Redding knew she wanted to be a professional singer at a young age. “My twin sister, Jeanne, and I began singing together when we were 10 years old,” said Redding. “We sang for practically every civic organization, Christmas party, church and beauty review in Alcorn County for years.” The 1986 Corinth High School graduate is coming home to sing again when the Corinth Music Club sponsors “An Evening with Jane

Redding” on Thursday, May 8 at 7 p.m. A $10 d o n a tion is requested for each ticket for the per- Redding formance slated to be held at First United Methodist Church. Tickets are available from any member of the Corinth Music Club or can be picked up from Ginger’s. “It’s going to be a sweet time,” said Redding, who lives in Carrollton, Georgia

with her husband, Dr. Kyle Marrero and their daughter. “I have worked hard to find a balance with the program.” May’s event will be the first time the Corinth native has been back in town for a public performance in around 20 years. “It was many moons ago, but I remember doing something with the symphony at the the coliseum,” she said. “I still have family in Corinth and I will get to see a lot of friends when I am in town.” Redding has scaled back Please see REDDING | 2A

BUSHBY CONTINUED FROM 1A

and his two-wheel trolley – “The Beast” – started the adventurer of walking around the world from Punta Arenas, Chile at the southern tip of South America on November 1, 1998. Bushby, 29-yearsold when he set off on the journey, carries everything he needs in the sturdy and balanced cart. “The Beast has some stories of its own,” said Bushby. “It was stolen in Montana before being recovered.” Actually, it’s Bushby’s second trolley or “The Beast II” as he called it. Around 120 pounds of equipment such as cameras, computer and cables, food, water, clothes and a tent are all packed on the walker’s traveling partner. Bushby has traveled the entire length of South and North America and also completed the first recorded crossing of the Bering Strait on foot and progressed two thousand miles into Siberia.

His book “Giant Steps” was published in 2006 and details his singlehanded effort. Over 15 years, he has walked 20,000 miles of the 36,000-mile journey, completing 3,000 miles at a time. His goal is to finish the remainder of his journey across Asia and Europe back to England. “The winter has been pretty miserable,” he said. “I don’t care if I ever see snow again, but I am very happy with the weather now … although the winter was rough, there hasn’t been any real big challenges. In North America, it doesn’t get any better than this.” Boyd has joined Bushby at different times during the trek. “I met him in Fort Smith, Ark.,” said Boyd of his latest meeting with the adventurer. “At times my schedule allows me to visit and encourage him.” Growing up in Hull, Yorkshire in England, Bushby joined the British Army when he was

16 and became an elite paratrooper several years later. While stationed in places like Norway and Kenya, he was drawn to the diverse terrain and unknown horizons beyond. Bushby began to walk toward those horizons and travel the globe, relying on nothing but his own two legs, his resourcefulness and his unshakable determination. “There are two rules for the expedition,” said Bushby. “Firstly, I can’t use any form of transport to advance and secondly, I can’t go home until I arrive on foot.” He expects to arrive in Washington, D.C. in August. “I go for about a week,” said Bushby, who lost 18 pounds over the last three months. “I don’t get very far without something coming up.” During his first visit through the South, Bushby has met some interesting people. He has spoken to school groups and even had people walk with him. “Most people are fine,”

he said. “In all my travels I’ve found that 99.99 percent of people are good and decent, and want to see me succeed … I hope by fulfilling my dream I’ll inspire others to pursue theirs.” Bushby has endured blistering heat and bonechilling cold, traversed mountains, deserts and jungles, been robbed and detained, evaded armed rebels, been swept out to sea on ice, nearly starved in the rainforest and overcome dozens of other harrowing obstacles to make fulfill his dream. “It’s something the world told me I could not do and which I knew I could do,” said the walking man. (Bushby’s travels can be followed at bushby3000.com. Video clips and photos will be available on the site, where visitors can track his progress through realtime GPS tracking, walking alongside him virtually as he crosses the continent. Bushby will also post frequently via

of Music Education from the University of Mississippi. She also holds a Master in Music degree from Louisiana State University and also completed her Doctor of Musical Arts Degree at LSU. Prior to entering college, the professional singer didn’t see herself being an opera performer. “I fell in love with opera in college,” she said. “If anyone would have told me then I would be an opera singer, I would have said ‘no way.’” A voice student and singer in

Mrs. Doris Price’s vocal group “Symphony” while growing up, Redding is planning an 18-piece performance for the Corinth Music Club event. “I am looking forward to working with Ben (Tomlinson),” said Redding. “I hope to share some interesting points about the music along the way … the program will be diverse and hopefully provide an entertaining evening no matter the musical preferences.” (For more information about “An Evening with Jane Redding” call 662-415-2601.)

Coach’s objective is to teach, train BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Today is Wednesday, May 7, the 127th day of 2014. There are 238 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 7, 1789, America’s first inaugural ball was held in New York in honor of President George Washington, who’d taken the oath of office a week earlier. (His wife, Martha, did not attend; she was back in Virginia, attending to family business.)

On this date: In 1763, Pontiac, chief of the Ottawa Indians, attempted to lead a sneak attack on Britishheld Fort Detroit, but was foiled because the British had been tipped off in advance. In 1889, the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore opened its doors. In 1915, nearly 1,200 people died when a German torpedo sank the British liner RMS Lusitania off the Irish coast. In 1928, the minimum voting age for British women was lowered from 30 to 21 — the same age as men. In 1942, U.S. Army Gen. Jonathan Wainwright went on a Manila radio station to announce the Allied surrender of the Philippines to Japanese forces during World War II. In 1945, Germany signed an unconditional surrender at Allied headquarters in Rheims (rams), France, ending its role in World War II. In 1954, the 55-day Battle of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam ended with Vietnamese insurgents overrunning French forces.

After being hired to choreograph a varsity routine in Corinth, Memphis native Lynda Boswell noticed a need in the area. “It occurred to me that middle school girls didn’t have dance teams in Corinth,” said Boswell. The former University of Memphis Pom Squad member decided action was needed. So, she stepped up to the plate and created Corinth’s All Star Pom Squad. The Former UDA instructor is the owner and choreographer of the team. She travels

Boswell with pom teams across the country and is also a choreographer for the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National football League (NFL). “My objectives are to

teach and train, not to compete with coaches or school teams. It’s all about getting experience in the hopes that with a year under their belt, the girls will be better prepared once they reach high school,” said the choreographer. “It also builds camaraderie and self-esteem.” The squad, which practices at the Contemporary Arts Center in downtown Corinth has made some new additions. “In addition to my Junior Varsity Team, I am now offering a Pee Wee Team and and a Varsity Team.

Meaning that if a girl attends a tryout and does not make the team, she is allowed to train for a season on the All Star Pom Varsity Team without having to try out. Afterward she can try out for her High School team and hopefully make it,” said the squad owner. The team offers training for a variety of ages. The Pee Wee Team is for first and second-graders, the Junior Varsity Team is for grades four through eight and the Varsity team is designed for ninth through twelfth-graders.

Practices are held in the Contemporary Arts Center which is co-owned by dancers Trika Smith and Volante Jones. “We are currently doing Spring and Summer sign-ups for those who would like to join us,” said Boswell. “The squad will be performing at a Redbirds game this summer. So, it is important that those wishing to participate call as soon as possible.” (For more information about the Corinth All Star Pom Squad call Coach Lynda Boswell at 901-644-6901 or emailcorinthallstarpom@hotmail.com)

Hepatitis C testing available For Daily Corinthian

More than five million Americans are chronically infected with Hepatitis B and C, and 75 percent of them are unaware they are infected. In recognition of Hepatitis Awareness Month in May, the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) is offering free Hepatitis B and C testing at all county health departments, including Alcorn, Tishomingo, Tippah and Prentiss. People born between 1945 and 1965 are five times more likely to be infected with Hepatitis C. Since most of then have no symptoms, they continue to be unaware of their infection until long-term complications arise. Over time, chronic Hepatitis C can cause serious health problems including liver damage, cirrhosis, liver cancer and even death. “Hepatitis C is an important diagnosis to make,” said MSDH State Epidemiologist Dr. Thomas Dobbs. “With the availability of effective treatments for both chronic and Hepatitis B and C, diagnosis

and awareness are critical to preventing long-term complications of cirrhosis and liver cancer. In fact, Hepatitis C is a leading cause of liver cancer and the number one cause of liver transplants.” Hepatitis C is a blood-borne disease transmitted though needle sticks, IV drug use and blood transfusions prior to 1992. It can also be transmitted through sexual contact, from mother to child at birth, and – rarely – from the sharing of personal items such as toothbrushes and razors. Testing is also recommended for anyone with a history of injection drug use, blood transfusion or organ transplantation prior to 1992, long term hemodialyis, HIV, signs or symptoms of liver disease, or those born to a mother with Hepatitis C. (For more information on Hepatitis C, visit the MSDH website at HealthyMS.com/ hep C or follow them by email and on social media at HealthyMS.com/connect.)

Corinth, Miss.

Obama is at a ‘dead point’ When the Washington PostABC News poll at the end of March showed a very slim plurality supporting Obamacare, Democrats hoped the healthcare law had finally turned the proverbial corner. Rich Then came the Post-ABC Lowry poll in April. It had the law National underwater again, with 44 Review percent supporting it and 49 percent opposed, right back to where it was in January. This is consistent with a new Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll that has 36 percent of people considering the health-care law a good idea and 46 percent a bad idea, and consistent with the Kaiser poll that has had support for the law at 38 percent to 46 percent the past two months. The more Obamacare’s standing with the public changes, the more it stays the same. Democrats always want to insist that the debate over the health-care law is over. If so, they have lost it -- at least the debate over whether the law is worthy of support. The March Obamacare enrollment surge hasn’t brought springtime for President Barack Obama, just the soggy reality that he stands to be about as much of a drag on his party in November as anyone would have expected a few months ago. He ticked up to a 44 percent job-approval rating in The Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll, while he is at 41 percent in the Post-ABC News survey. According to every indicator, the public is sour, the economy lackluster and Republicans much more motivated to vote than Democrats. The general environment looks to be November 2010 all over again, except it hasn’t been preceded by an interlude of historic Democratic accomplishments. The president just concluded an appropriately desultory trip to Asia. He has always wanted not to “pivot to Asia,” as the slogan would have it, but to pivot to home. The grand strategy abroad has been to duck and cover and hope the unraveling of the U.S. position is slow enough that any dire consequences can be avoided until, say, Hillary Clinton’s first term. There are two big problems with this approach. One is that while the public is exhausted with the world, it can’t enjoy seeing us look powerless or get humiliated by thuggish adversaries. This explains the seeming paradox of the president giving the public what it wants -You think we should have less influence in the world? No problem! -- but still getting low marks on foreign policy. He’s at his lowest rating yet, 38 percent, on his handling of foreign affairs in the WSJ-NBC News poll. Approval for his handling of the Ukraine crisis specifically is in the 30s in both polls. And that seems high. The president’s excruciatingly labored response to Russia’s slowrolling invasion of a sovereign European country constitutes, at best, a flashing yellow light for Vladimir Putin’s aggression. As the distressing news piled up during the president’s Asia trip -- no Trans-Pacific Partnership, no Middle East peace deal or even Middle East peace process -- the president compared himself to a singles hitter. The leader of the free world probably imagines himself Ichiro Suzuki, one of the great contact hitters of all time, when his record puts him more in league with Mario Mendoza. Obama is at what Abraham Lincoln once referred to during his career in Illinois, using steamboat lingo, as a “dead point” -- weak abroad, frustrated at home and looking at a brutal November. Maybe the midterms won’t be so bad. Certainly, this White House has proved itself adept at turning the pointless and jejune to its advantage. So perhaps the Koch brothers and the “pay gap” and whatever else it comes up with will limit the losses. But barring something truly unforeseen, the president will still be worse off in Congress than he is now, and another step closer to certified lame-duckery. Despite his boasting about March enrollments, it is still the springtime of his discontent. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

Prayer for today God of mercy, reveal to me the hallowed life. May I be reminded that, while I may save and keep the dust from things that perish, my life, though unkept and undeveloped, tells in itself the value and need of the most watchful care. Amen.

A verse to share “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” – Psalms 16:11

Becker transcended boundaries of economics Nobel Prize-winning economist Gary Becker was internationally renowned within the economics profession, but was not nearly as well known among the general public as he deserved to be. More important, his path-breaking ideas, including his analysis of the economics of racial discrimination, deserved to be much more a part of the many discussions of that subject. More than half a century after Professor Becker’s landmark work on the economics of discrimination, most controversies on that subject, both in the media and in politics, go on in utter ignorance of his penetrating insights. So do laws and policies that make discrimination worse. As someone who has written about racial discrimination within the framework of analysis that Becker created, I am especially indebted to him, and wish only that more people were aware of that framework, which could spare us much rhetoric and offer some useful understanding instead. At a time when there are so many occasions to lament that Milton Friedman is no longer with us, when his knowledge and wisdom are needed more than ever, now we must also lament

that the same is true of Gary Becker. W h i l e Becker was an economist’s econoThomas mist, he also Sowell transcended the traditionColumnist al boundaries of economics. He applied the kind of analysis that economists use to subjects that most economists do not usually deal with. Racial discrimination was just one of those subjects -at least before Becker came along. He also analyzed family decisions within an intellectual framework ordinarily used for analyzing economic issues, though that did not mean that he thought families were all about money. The title of a book that he co-authored with his wife, Guity Nashat, indicated something of the scope of the subjects Becker’s analysis covered: “The Economics of Life: From Baseball to Affirmative Action to Immigration, How Real-World Issues Affect Our Everyday Life.” This book was also a sign of Professor Becker’s interest in addressing an audience outside of academic economics. He also wrote

a column in BusinessWeek magazine. Despite the contempt that some economists have expressed toward sociology, Gary Becker went from being a professor of economics at Columbia University to being a professor of economics and sociology at the University of Chicago. No doubt sociology was improved by Becker’s contributions. On a personal note, my path and his crossed a few times at different places. The first time was inauspicious. I was a first-year graduate student at Columbia University and took his year-long course in labor economics. It was like no other labor economics course I knew about or had heard about -- and there was a reason. He was introducing his own analytical framework that was destined to change the way many issues would be seen by the economics profession in the years ahead. The unfamiliarity of what he was saying made me skeptical. So I went to the department chairman to get permission to drop the second semester of this yearlong course. He asked my reason and, never known for diplomatic skills, I said, “I am not learning anything.” That was true in itself but for rea-

sons the opposite of what I thought at the time. Becker was teaching, and teaching something important, but I just wasn’t on the same wavelength. That became a continuing source of embarrassment to me over the years, after I belatedly grasped what he was trying to get across. This has been filed with a considerable list of decisions I later regretted in the course of a long life. The next time I encountered Gary Becker was a decade later, during the defense of my doctoral dissertation at the University of Chicago. He was not on the dissertation committee, but sat in on the discussion and could not have been more gracious. Later Becker became a part-time Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, where I was also a Senior Fellow. I could never find the right time or the right way to apologize for my youthful mistake. Now that opportunity is gone. If you owe someone an apology, it is better to do it sooner rather than later. (Daily Corinthian columnist Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His website is www.tsowell.com.)

Is Obama wrong regarding Ukraine? “What Would America Fight For?” That question shouts from the cover of this week’s Economist. It is, asserts the magazine, “the question haunting its allies.” While most agree that America would fight to defend her treaty allies and to protect vital interests, the question is raised by President Obama’s reticence in Crimea, Ukraine and Syria. Asked in Manila how he answers critics who say his foreign policy appears to be one of “weakness,” the president, stung, replied: “Typically, criticism of our foreign policy has been directed at the failure to use military force. And the question ... I would have is, why is it that everybody is so eager to use military force after we’ve just gone through a decade of war at enormous costs to our troops and to our budget? “[M]ost of the foreign policy commentators that have questioned our policies would go headlong into a bunch of military adventures that the American people had no interest in participating in and would not advance our core security interests.”

One senator Obama surely had in mind was Lindsey Graham who told “Face the Pat Nation,” “I Buchanan would sanction the enColumnist ergy economy of Russia, the banking sector of Russia, and try to drive the Russian economy into the ground.” But if you sanction her energy sector, Russia might retaliate by cutting off gas to Europe and Ukraine, causing a recession in the EU and a collapse in Kiev, requiring a massive bailout. Some of those billions in U.S., EU and IMF aid to Ukraine might have to be redirected to Vladimir Putin to keep the Ukrainians from freezing to death next winter. Lest we forget, the International Monetary Fund ranks Russia as the 8th largest economy while the World Bank ranks Russia No. 5. And would driving “the Russian economy into the ground” cause the Russian people to rise up and overthrow Putin? Did such sanctions produce regime

change in Cuba, North Korea or Iran? But Sen. Graham was only warming up, “I would help arm the Ukrainian people ... so they could defend themselves.” The Wall Street Journal echoed Graham: “Defensive but lethal weapons for Ukraine -- anti-tank mines or artillery, modern guns -would raise the cost and risk of this intervention.” Yes, they would, and they would also increase the casualties on both sides. But would it affect the outcome of a Ukraine-Russia war? No. Which is probably why Ike never considered sending weapons to the Hungarian rebels and LBJ never considered sending arms to the Czechs when Leonid Brezhnev’s tanks crushed the Prague Spring. Another question arises: Would U.S. military transports landing in Kiev, with U.S. troops unloading mortars, mines and artillery pieces, be more likely to frighten Putin into paralysis, or provoke him into seizing Eastern Ukraine before the U.S. could make a NATO ally of Kiev? Another question: Is it moral to send weapons to

friends to encourage them to fight and die in a war we know they cannot win? Still, one wonders why the Graham-McCain Republicans continue to push a reluctant president to get more militarily involved in Ukraine. For it is almost an ironclad formula for failure to be led into a faraway war by a president who does not want to fight, and who leads a nation whose people do not want to be involved. Among the winning arguments Obama had in 2012 was that he wanted America to do her nation-building right here at home. Yet, as the run up to 2016 nears, Hillary Clinton is not only more hawkish than Obama. She is more hawkish than her potential GOP rivals. Yet, other than Rand Paul, there appears to be no one in the Republican field who does not subscribe to the McCain-Graham line. No wonder the neocons are already piling on the junior Senator from Kentucky.

Across The Nation Associated Press

Senator makes light of Holocaust remark NASHVILLE, Tenn. â€” A Tennessee state senator who compared the federal health care law to the forced transportation of Jews to concentration camps during the Holocaust appeared to make light of the firestorm about his comments this week in a blog post on Tuesday. â€œI like ice cream, mom, apple pie and puppies,â€? Republican Sen. Stacey Campfield of Knoxville said. â€œThis message has been approved by my campaign staff.â€? Campfield, who wrote the Holocaust comment Monday in a post titled â€œThought of the Day,â€? said his intention was to â€œwarn,â€? and not offend. â€œDemocrats bragging about the number of mandatory sign ups for Obamacare is like Germans bragging about the number of manditory sign ups for â€˜train ridesâ€™ for Jews in the 40s,â€? he wrote. The misspelling of â€œmandatoryâ€? appears in the original text. Campfieldâ€™s remark drew swift condemnation and demands for apology from both Re-

publican and Democratic leaders in the state. Â

Parachutists spent 4 hours atop center NEW YORK â€” Three skydivers spent about four hours atop the World Trade Centerâ€™s signature skyscraper before parachuting off it, they said Tuesday in detailing a stunt that raised questions about security and left them facing felony charges. James Brady, Marko Markovich and Andrew Rossig acknowledge making the Sept. 30 leap from the as-yetunfinished 1 World Trade Center, the nationâ€™s tallest building and one of its most security-conscious. But they pleaded not guilty Tuesday to burglary, reckless endangerment and other charges. Authorities say the escapade audaciously broke laws specifically prohibiting such jumps. The jumpers portray it as a careful, middleof-the-night plunge by experienced skydivers over deserted streets. â€œWe didnâ€™t endanger anyone,â€? Rossig said as he left court. The trio has garnered support from two Sept.

11 victimsâ€™ relatives, who say the skydivers spotlighted security lapses at the trade center site. The siteâ€™s owner, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, insists itâ€™s well-protected, while acknowledging that daredevils have prompted some security changes recently. Â

Pilot who crashed was fit to perform FAIRFIELD, Calif. â€” A pilot who crashed and died while performing a stunt at a Northern California air show had recently passed a skills test that included his flying routines, the head of an air show trade association said. International Council of Air Showsâ€™ President John Cudahy said the 77-year-old Eddie Andreini passed the test just a few weeks before Sundayâ€™s crash. Cudahy told the Sacramento Bee that Andreini was tested in over 60 areas and was judged to be mentally and physically fit for the stunts he performed. Andreini was flying upside-down and low to the ground in an acrobatic maneuver during the â€œThunder Over Solanoâ€? air show.

Deputy charged in coachâ€™s death JACKSON â€” A Mississippi deputy working as a referee for a recreation league basketball game punched one of the coaches and is charged in his death, police said Tuesday. Justin Griffin, 25, died Monday after a fight over play calls that started on the court and moved into the parking lot, police said. Griffin died from blunt-force trauma to the head due to injuries suffered in the fight, Hinds County Coroner Sharon Grisham-Stewart said. Joshua Adams, 37, is charged with murder and was ordered to remain in jail Tuesday, Jackson police spokeswoman Officer Colendula Green said. Adams did not make his initial appearance in open court, and court personnel said he was arraigned by a judge in private in a hallway. It was unclear whether Adams had an attorney. Â

after his conviction in the beating death of a handyman, will argue he didnâ€™t get a fair trial when the case comes before the Mississippi Court of Appeals on May 27 in Jackson. Police in the Jackson suburb of Ridgeland said 50-year-old Kerry Priscock was found bludgeoned to death in October 2011. They say they believe the homeless man was targeted for the money he earned working odd-jobs and for his minivan. Jonathan Keen, now 31, was convicted in October 2012.

Teen sentenced for killing stepsister BILOXI â€” A judge has sentenced 19-year-old Jonathan Ian Morales to serve 17 years in prison in the fatal shooting Sadie Warden, his 13-yearold stepsister. Circuit Judge Lisa Dodson imposed the maximum penalty of 20 years for manslaughter Monday and suspended three years, leaving 17 years to serve plus three years of probation. Morales pleaded guilty in February. His attorney, Rufus Alldredge, said Morales thought the gun was unloaded.

the Feeding America network of food banks, Alcorn County had 6,540 people considered “food insecure” in 2012, the latest year available — a number that was about 18 percent of the county’s population. Last year’s drive saw about a threefold increase in donations in Corinth. The effort was aided by a promotional item — a brown paper sack that was delivered to some homes for use in the drive. Those are not available this year, but Shumaker hopes to see lots of people bringing out their own paper or plastic on Saturday. Participating letter carriers in neighboring counties include Iuka, Booneville, Walnut, Ripley, Belmont and Golden. Nationally, it is the 22nd year of the country’s largest single-day food drive, which generated 74 million pounds of food for food banks last year.

“This year, we are going to try to do some beautification around City Hall, some more work at the Bishop Center, and possibly some painting of some of the decorative poles downtown,” said Kim Ratliff, projects coordinator. Last year’s participants painted at the Bishop Center, among other projects, as the youth corps program returned for the first time in several years. It is designed to provide on-the-job training while also teaching life skills. “This year, we are going to probably get some of the department heads to participate in a leadership symposium to help them see how the different parts of the city government fit together,” said Ratliff.

Sen. McDaniel talks about issues facing state BY ROBERT PURVIS Guest Columnist

On October 17, 2013, state Senator Chris McDaniel announced his candidacy for the United States Senate, which would pit him against longtime incumbent Thad Cochran. I recently spoke with Sen. McDaniel about the campaign as well as an array of issues. McDaniel said his decision to run was difficult but ultimately felt it was necessary to change the climate in Washington which is no longer truly representative of the American people. â€œThe people of this state have recognized for a long, long time that Congress is not listening. They have basically built a cocoon around themselves where they are an aristocracy. They have different rules and regulations for themselves than for us and thatâ€™s not the way the system is supposed to work. Theyâ€™re supposed to work for us, the people,â€? said McDaniel. When asked what separates him from 72-yearold Cochran, McDaniel gave examples of vast philosophical differences between the two. â€œIâ€™m a Reagan conservative. I believe in liberty and freedom, balanced budgets

and the Constitution. He is not. Heâ€™s an old-school type of Republican that believes in bigger government, more taxes, and more spending,â€? said McDaniel. He went on to discuss a variety of issues including the national debt, which he called â€œan emergency situation,â€? and faulted Sen. Cochran for his role in the current seventeen trillion dollar deficit. â€œSen. Cochran over the last 13 years has voted to increase the debt ceiling eleven different times, to the tune of well over eight trillion dollars,â€? McDaniel said. He offered solutions to balancing the budget such as placing a limit on spending and reducing the size of government. Regarding education, Sen. McDaniel called the federal department of education unconstitutional, saying â€œitâ€™s time to abolish that department and put those powers back in the states with the people where they belong.â€? He based his position on Article I Section 8 of the Constitution which does not give any control or authority to the central government over matters of education. McDaniel said â€œsince the creation of the department, educational attainment has not improved; it has

decreased. In fact, even though the federal government is spending billions of dollars each year on the federal department of education...weâ€™ve seen worse outcomes, not better.â€? He also noted that â€œin 1979 Sen. Cochran voted to create the Federal Department of Education over the objections of Ronald Reagan.â€? On the issue of Obamacare, Sen. McDaniel adamantly called for a full repeal of the program. â€œObamacare is so flawed, both Constitutionally and structurally. Because of that we should not be trying to fix it. We should not be trying to put a bandaid on it. The only hope is to eliminate [it] once and for all...to destroy it.... and then put those powers back into the states. If we do that, we can allow some serious experimentation on how to move forward together and solve the healthcare crisisâ€? said McDaniel. He also discussed his respect for the Second Amendment and the importance of protecting the rights of gun owners. â€œThe Second Amendment is as important as it getsâ€? said McDaniel. â€œWhen it comes to that Amendment, Iâ€™m an absolutist. In other words, [it] means

what it says...each of us have an individual right to bear arms. And thatâ€™s a right that I take very, very, seriously,â€? he said. He referred to his time spent introducing legislation to protect the Second Amendment on the state level and vowed to do the same if elected to the U.S. Senate. On a more personal note, Sen. McDaniel spoke very openly about his faith and the role it plays in his life. â€œIt has been key in my life and I donâ€™t believe that Christians need to abandon that faith once they step into the public arena. I think this country needs good Christian leaders that will stand up for what they believe in. Not be ashamed to speak truth. Not be ashamed to fight evil, and not allow the liberals to ridicule them into submission or silence. I think for too long the people of faith in this country have been too silent. I think itâ€™s time they reengage the system,â€? said McDaniel. In 2013 Sen. McDaniel authored Senate Bill 2633, more commonly known as the School Prayer Bill, which protected the religious rights of students in public schools. McDaniel has been given the most realistic

chance of winning among Tea Party backed candidates trying to unseat incumbents nationwide, which has garnered national attention for the Mississippi primary. Since announcing his candidacy, Sen. McDaniel has faced a barrage of attacks from establishment Republicans who have coalesced in support of Sen. Cochran. Few of the attacks have actually involved McDanielâ€™s political record; instead they have been personal attacks designed to distort facts and inflict damage to McDanielâ€™s image. Henry Barbour, who is the nephew of former governor Haley Barbour and head of the pro-Cochran Super PAC Mississippi Conservatives, said of McDaniel â€œI think he will get his head handed to him, and that will be what he deserves.â€? Two recent polls showed McDaniel with a slight lead over Cochran. Throughout his campaign, McDaniel has remained above the mudslinging and has conducted himself with the highest degree of class. Rather than stoop to the level of personal attacks, McDaniel has limited his criticisms to Cochranâ€™s political record. In fact, McDaniel has repeat-

edly stated his personal respect for Sen. Cochran while speaking at various campaign stops throughout the state. Regardless of the outcome on June 3, Sen. McDaniel has exceeded expectations, especially those of many in his own party. He has raised the bar for future candidates by exemplifying what it means to conduct a campaign with class and dignity. This race is not about establishment Republicans or the Tea Party. Itâ€™s about which candidate is most capable of representing Mississippi and moving the state forward. Times have changed since Sen. Cochran first went to Washington 42 years ago and so have the types of battles we face. Ultimately Mississippi voters will have to ask themselves if they are happy with the status quo or if it is time for a change. Iâ€™m reminded of President Reagan during his 1980 campaign when he asked the American people â€œare you better off than you were four years ago?â€? Of course, in this case, the question is: are you better off than you were 42 years ago? (Robert Purvis is an Alcorn County resident.)

MSU professor Hopper earns award for food animal medicine MISSISSIPPI STATE â€” Dr. Richard M. Hopper, professor with the Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine, has been awarded the El Toro Award for Excellence in Food Animal Medicine at Auburn Universityâ€™s College of Veterinary Medicine. Hopper, who teaches in the Department of Pathobiology and Population Medicine and is an MSU Extension Service veterinarian, received the award during Auburnâ€™s 107th veterinary annual conference. â€œDr. Hopper demonstrates a realistic approach

to veterinary care, which our students recognize as very practical, and builds their confidence,â€? said Dr. Bill Epperson, of the MSU Department of Pathobiology and Population Medicine. â€œUnder his direction and guidance, many students have chosen to go into theriogenology and food animal medicine. He is deserving of this award, and we are honored to have him at our college.â€? Hopper entered private practice in Oneonta, Alabama, after earning a veterinary degree from Auburn in 1978. He later went to work with the MSU Extension Service

and became a Diplomate of the American College of Theriogenologists. He established the theriogenology service at MSU, which has grown to have a substantial multispecies case load and has maintained a successful resident training program. Hopper has been active in the Society for Theriogenology and served as its president in 2012. He has made numerous presen-

tations at scientific and lay meetings across the U.S. and continues to be a valuable resource to practitioners and students. Hopper recently completed editing a textbook on bovine reproductive medicine and surgery, which includes an international list of contributors and promises to become one of the standard textbooks in the field of theriogenology.

The El Toro Award, established at Auburn in 1994, is presented annually through the generosity of Dr. James G. Floyd Jr. in memory of his father. The award recognizes a veterinarian who serves as a role model for veterinary students through contributions to food animal practice, organized veterinary medicine, high ideals and dedication to food animal

production. A major focus of the award is to vprovide the opportunity for the recipient to interact with veterinary students and increase interest in food animal veterinary medicine. Selection criteria include outstanding service to food animal medicine, food animal production, organized veterinary medicine and food animal industries.
