20 percent of voters needed for vote Past elections may provide preview of possible liquor vote BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Should an effort to legalize liquor sales in the city of Corinth emerge, proponents and opponents will likely be studying the math of past elections. The law, which allows cities of a certain population such as Corinth to set a city-only vote, must receive approval under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 before becoming effective. The first hurdle to clear for a city-only liquor vote will be a petition containing signatures of at least 20 percent of the city’s reg-
istered voters presented to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. As of Wednesday, the number of registered voters in the city is 11,703. Twenty percent of that number is 2,341, and the number can fluctuate as people register to vote and as people who have moved or died are purged from the voter rolls. A look at liquor elections held since 1989, when the tide turned against legalization in Alcorn County, shows that precincts consisting largely of city voters have generally given majority support to ending prohibition.
Because of the way the 16 county precincts are divided, it’s not possible to take a countywide vote and extract only the city results. Predominantly city precincts do, however, give a good indication. The last county-wide vote in December 2005 had very similar results to the votes in 1989 and 1993, with a final tally of 5,489 (54.8 percent) against legalization and 4,489 (45.2 percent) for. Among the predominantly city precincts, three voted in favor — South Corinth, North Corinth
and East Corinth, while two voted against — West Corinth and East Third Street. The large College Hill precinct, which includes a substantial number of city voters, barely went into the “for” column by a vote of 526 to 521. Taking just those six precincts from the December 2005 vote essentially flips the percentages. The “for” total is 2,328 (54.8 percent) and the “against” total is 1,920 (45.2 percent). Legalization had the most support at South Corinth (433-228) and East Corinth (615-371). It was fairly close at the city pre-
cincts going against — West Corinth (255-266) and East Third Street (143-201). In 1993, the county-wide vote was 5,793 against and 4,386 for. In 1989, it was 4,323 against and 3,411 for. Just days before the 1989 reversal on liquor, Corinth voters approved beer sales in a city-only referendum with 2,172 (53.8 percent) in favor and 1,868 (46.2 percent) opposed. That vote followed unsuccessful city beer referendums in 1976 and 1981 which failed by 138 and 444 votes, respectively.
Readers pay tribute to mothers BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com
Happy Mother’s Day to all those women who have made a difference in the lives of others. Today we pay tribute and say thanks for being the inspiration to all things great in life. The Daily Corinthian asked readers to think of the women in their lives who deserve special mention. Response was great and here are some touching thoughts on this very special day. Nell York A lot of people can say they were lucky to have their mother take them to church when they were a child, but not many can still say that when they are over 50. I’m fortunate to have a mother who has always taken me to church. I am blessed she has taken care of me even when it hurts her body. It is not easy being my mother for a lot of reasons and I am thankful to be her son. — Jeff York Senior Ladies at Oakland My life has been blessed beyond measure with godly women. I have been privileged to learn from my Senior Ladies Sunday School Class at Oakland Baptist Church since 1998. Ages 70 to 97 years young, they are faithful to the Lord and to our class. If they are not there, it is be-
cause they are in the hospital or “next door” to it. They always have words of encouragement and they are prayer warriors from the word go. In 2008-09, I had a round with cancer and chemo for six months. Their prayers and cards were the highlight of many days. They continue to bless my life every week. When I see the struggles they have with health and all the things that life throws at us, they handle it with grace and wisdom knowing that God will take care of them. What a testimony their lives are and what a blessing they have been to me. Thank you ladies. I love you. Happy Mother’s Day. — Ruth Ann Phillips Daisy Coleman Newcomb I think of my mother daily. She moved to Gaines Road -- Daisy’s Homeplace -- in 1900 at the age of 13, living there until she was 78. She lost her mother at an early age and had to care for a ninemonth-old little bother. She became a mother to him, two sisters and three other brothers. Her life was family, community and me, her only child. She also had her two grandsons and her husband. She lived her entire life for others. — Ms. D Ruth Teague Please see TRIBUTE | 5A

Oakland Baptist Church plants Garden of Hope BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Oakland Baptist Church has decided to get dirty. The congregation is rolling up its sleeves in effort to let hurting people know there is hope. A half acre garden -- The Oakland Baptist Church Garden of Hope -- has been planted behind the church on Harper Road. In planting the garden of vegetables, Oakland is hoping other churches follow suit to help those in the community who are struggling. “Some people are in situations where they think no one cares,” said Oakland pastor Dr. Randy Bostick. “This is one way we can show them hope and it’s something we just have to do.” Close to 30 members of the church showed up on May 5 ready to work. It took them just an hour and a half to get the ground ready and plant 200 tomato plants along with squash, sweet corn, okra, peas, peppers and a few watermelons. “We got it planted pretty

only with their finances, but with labor also.”
Dr. Bostick came up with the idea while reading scripture about fallow ground. The unplowed ground is talked about in Jeremiah 4:3 — Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. The particular ground is also mentioned in Hosea 10:12 — Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy, break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. The phrase fallow ground means land that could be productive, but for whatever reason has not been broken up, tilled, plowed, and prepared for planting. Both passages are spoken by Old Testament prophets to the people of Israel, who had become lazy, sloppy, and disobedient in their service of the Lord. “That really spoke to me,” said the pastor. “When I came to the staff and told them what I wantPlease see GARDEN | 12A

Cancer survivor enjoys life, glad to be a mother BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian
A mother who is a cancer survivor will be more thankful this year on Mother’s Day after a battle with leukemia. This year’s special day will be her first after going through a bone marrow transplant to save her life last May. Terri Tacker was diagnosed with leukemia (AML) Oct. 19, 2010. She began a tough battle to beat the disease to continue as a mother of her two children, Huston, 8, and Cathryne, 2. She had a bone marrow transplant on May 16, 2011. “I’m thankful that God has allowed me to live to help raise my children,” said Tacker. “I thank Him not just for Mother’s Day, but for every day of my life.” She went to see Dr. Ryan Bartz with what she felt was a virus and he told her she had to go straight to the hospital because of her poor blood work. His action played a part in saving her life. Tacker argued she had a roast in the crock pot and had to carry Huston to his Cub Scout meeting, but the doctor won the debate and her husband Greg Tacker was called to take her to Jackson, Tenn. “My babies need me,” was her first thought when she was told she had leukemia. Tacker felt it was a death sentence when the doctor told her about the cancer. The first grade teacher at Michie Elementary School stayed in the hospital for two days before returning home and later went to

Today’s Highlight in History: Staff photo by Steve Beavers
Terri Tacker reads a story to her two children, Huston, 8, and Cathryne, 2, at the family home in Selmer, Tenn. Vanderbilt Hospital to begin treatments. While undergoing bone marrow biopsies, spinal taps and treatments, her baby Cathryne turned one on Nov. 15. She was determined to make it home for her first birthday party on Thanksgiving weekend. “I told them to not sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to her until I got home,” said Tacker. That period during November was a very tough time and she felt Jesus was sitting beside her during her lowest points. Her hospital stay was made tougher when her high school best friend, Lori Pearson, died from breast cancer in November. Tacker credits the unwavering support of her husband Greg during her illness. “He was a great caregiver

and was always positive that everything was going to be okay,” said Terri. The doctor told her that if her bone marrow was not clean in early-December, she would not go home for Christmas. “My bone marrow was clean and I got to go home to spend Christmas with my family,” said Tacker. A key was to find a bone marrow match. She had six matches in the donor bank. The first three backed out before a 38-year-old Minnesota woman came through with the bone marrow. When she asked whether she would survive the
transplant, the doctor told her she would have to get the transplant or die. “I knew it would be difficult to leave my home for 100 days, but it had to be done,” said Tacker. “I never lost hope and knew I was going to live.” She returned home in August and was talking with Huston when he told her ‘I am glad you did not die, mama. I would have given my life, if it would have saved your life'.” A healthy Tacker is excited about returning to teach at Michie School in August. And celebrating Mother's Day today with her family.
On May 13, 1992, the Falun Gong movement had its beginning as the sect’s founder, Li Hongzhi, began publicly lecturing on his spiritual philosophy in the northeastern Chinese city of Changchun.
On this date: In 1607, English colonists arrived by ship at the site of what became the Jamestown settlement in Virginia (the colonists went ashore the next day). In 1846, the United States declared that a state of war already existed with Mexico. In 1861, Britain’s Queen Victoria declared her country’s neutrality in the American Civil War, but also acknowledged that the Confederacy had belligerent rights. In 1917, three shepherd children near Fatima, Portugal, reported seeing a vision of the Virgin Mary. In 1918, the first U.S. airmail stamps, featuring a picture of a Curtiss JN-4 biplane, were issued to the public. (On a few of the stamps, the biplane was inadvertently printed upside-down, making them collector’s items.) In 1940, Britain’s new prime minister, Winston Churchill, told Parliament: “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.”

Long, hard slog ahead in presidential race BY MICHAEL BARONE Just as the political air is filled with talk of the inevitability of Barack Obama’s re-election — we are told that the kids at his Chicago headquarters are brimming with confidence — in come some poll numbers showing him behind. Not by anything statistically significant, mind you. But when you get the Gallup and Rasmussen tracking polls and the Politico/ George Washington University Battleground poll all showing Mitt Romney leading Obama by 1 point, an Obama victory seems far from inevitable. These results came in at a time when the realclearpolitics.com average of recent polls shows 50 percent expressing favorable feelings about Obama and only 37 percent saying the same about Romney. Some analysts still claim Obama has a lock on the Electoral College. They look at his 365173 margin in the Electoral College in 2008 and argue that Romney will have trouble peeling enough states away. The reapportionment of House seats following the 2010 census has whittled Obama’s 2008 margin down to 359-179, and Obama does not own all those electoral votes. No one expects him to carry Indiana again. In “swing states,” he must win in a political climate where voters know much more about him than last time. In 2008, Obama won 53 percent of the vote, the highest percentage for any Democratic nominee in history except Andrew Jackson, Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson. Now he’s averaging 46 percent in recent polls. That’s much closer to the 45 percent that Democratic candidates won in elections to the House in 2010. And in the last three presidential elections, the winning candidate has won the same percentage as his party’s percentage in House elections two years before. Obama had a popular vote margin of 7 percent in 2008. But Republicans had a margin of 7 percent in the popular vote for the House in 2010. If you tote up the electoral votes in the states they carried, you would find them with a 351-184 edge over Democrats. When you look at target states, you see the same picture. Take Gallup’s 12 swing states, which in its most recent survey together favored Obama over Romney by 47 to 45 percent. That’s a lot less than the 53 to 45 percent by which he carried them four years ago. In recent state-by-state polling, Obama leads in all 12 but averages more than 50 percent only in New Mexico and Wisconsin. And in all 12 he’s polling less than the percentage he won in 2008. There are big drop-offs in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, where Obama owed his victory to large margins among affluent suburbanites — Mitt Romney’s strongest demographic in the primaries. His smallest drop-off is in North Carolina, which he carried only 50 to 49 percent but where voters seem sharply polarized. It’s a particular target for Obama, who chose Charlotte as the site of the Democratic National Convention. Romney is running even in recent Florida polls and less than 5 points behind in Iowa, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia — within striking distance. If he wins them all plus safe Republican states, he’ll be elected. The bottom line is that at this point Obama doesn’t have an Electoral College lock. Neither does Romney. The numbers tell us that this election is up for grabs. The Obama campaign has prepared for a long, hard slog through the target states. The Romney campaign is getting prepared for the same. It’s what the political press expects and has tried to prepare for. We feel we have a pretty good sense of the relevant terrain. But in politics there are sometimes surprises, unanticipated changes, developments that seem obvious in retrospect but were wholly unexpected before they happened. The long, hard slog is the likeliest scenario for 2012. But in a future column I will sketch some alternative possibilities.

Failed online gaming bill likely to return STARKVILLE — When it comes to so-called “sin” taxes, Mississippi has a long track record of contradictory political and public policy behavior. Despite Mississippi’s status as the “gold buckle of the Bible Belt” and a politically active evangelical clergy with clout at the state Capitol, state taxpayers enjoy fruits of the “wages of sin” to the tune of some $536 million annually in various taxes collected on gambling, drinking and smoking. The sale of “sin tax” items also generates additional sales taxes that exceed another $100 million. Gaming in the last fiscal year generated $277.8 million in taxes in the form of $130.9 million to county and municipal governments and the state’s portion of $146.9 million. Overall, gaming provided 3 percent of general fund revenues. Tobacco taxes generated $158 million or 4 percent of the general fund. Alcoholic beverage taxes generated $71 million, but $8.6 million went to county and municipal government, leaving $63 million or 1 percent of general fund revenues for the state. Mississippi voters believe — with varying degrees of factual and historical
support for those beliefs -- that they have been promised in the past that legalizing Sid Salter and taxing Columnist alcohol sales, gaming and other “sins” would provide support for public education and other noble pursuits. They also believe that those “promises” have been proven to be either false or grossly overstated. The other lessons from the ghosts of sin taxes past are that sin tax efforts produce strange political bedfellows. Want to change a local option liquor law? Then prepare to fight both the local churches and the local bootleggers. Want to change Mississippi gaming laws? Then prepare to fight both the religious community and the entrenched gaming industry. Since the inception of legal casino gaming in Mississippi in the 1990s, efforts to enact a state lottery or other major changes have met with opposition from the churches and from the big casino companies. So when Democratic state Rep. Bobby Moak in-
troduced House Bill 1373 during the 2012 session, religious critics of any expansion of legal gaming of any kind in Mississippi reacted. But this time, many of the big casino companies supported Moak’s play. Moak’s “Mississippi Lawful Internet Gaming Act” was a reaction to a 2011 U.S. Justice Department ruling that held that the Interstate Wire Act of 1961 — a federal law that has complicated efforts to legalize online gaming – was being interpreted as only outlawing sports betting. In the past, the federal Wire Act was interpreted as outlawing all forms of gambling across state lines. Moak argued that the legislation was necessary to allow Mississippi’s existing gaming industry to have more control of its own destiny and to allow the state to regulate what will already be taking place online — and to tax it. The bill — which died in committee after being double-referred to Gaming and Ways and Means -- included a measure to allow the state’s existing gaming licensees to offer online games of chance that are regulated and taxed by the state, but on different terms than in the bricks and mortar casinos.
Nevada and New Jersey are already changing laws to address new online gaming competition. Since the Justice Department ruling, six states (California, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Mississippi, and New Jersey) have introduced legislation authorizing forms of online gaming in their states. Utah has passed legislation specifically prohibiting internet gaming, and Michigan has pending legislation prohibiting online lottery sales. Maine has altered their gaming statute in response to the Department of Justice ruling. Regardless the tension between the strange political bedfellows made by “sin” taxes, Mississippi lawmakers haven’t heard the last of the online gaming issue as certain competition for the state’s existing 30 commercial casinos had gross gaming revenue of $2.39 billion in 2011. The state’s 2011 gross gaming revenue declined to the lowest level since 1998 — a sign that perhaps online gaming competition regulation is an issue that should get a legislative second look.

Is this the end of ‘One Europe?’ How Europe’s crisis resolves itself as yet remains unknown. But with last Sunday’s returns from France and Greece, the mega-trends on the Old Continent are unmistakable. And for the European Union, they are ominous. Nationalism — be it economic nationalism or ethnic nationalism — is ascendant. Transnationalism and multiculturalism are in headlong if not irreversible retreat. The European project is itself imperiled. To be sure, no one should underestimate the commitment of Europe’s elites to the vision of One Europe as challenger to the United States. In the capitals and corporate headquarters of the continent, these elites are, almost to a man and woman, devout Europeans. Yet their ability to keep Europe on course until its peoples have yielded up their sovereignty and agreed to submerge themselves in a single entity is now in question. From Paris to Athens, the radical left and the nationalist right are resurgent. Consider what the French electorate just said. In the first round of voting, communists and radi-

cals took 11 percent. Their leader, Jean-Luc Melenchon, endorsed the socialPat ist Francois Buchanan H o l l a n d e , who went on Columnist to win last Sunday. President Nicolas Sarkozy, who ran second in the first round with only 27 percent, raised his total last Sunday to 48 percent. Though Marine Le Pen of the National Front had refused to endorse him, Sarkozy openly courted her voters. The near 30 percent the National Front and far left combined pulled in the first round is unprecedented in the annals of the Fifth Republic. In Greece, the returns were equally dramatic. PASOK, the governing center-left party, ran third with 13 percent of the vote. New Democracy, the centerright party that is in coalition with PASOK, ran first but won only 19 percent. These two parties saw their combined support sliced in half since the last election and may be unable to form a government that can continue to impose the austeri-
ty the German-led eurozone is demanding as the price of Greece’s bailout. The parties that gained most were the communists with 7 percent, Syriza, a radical-left party, with 17 percent, and Golden Dawn, a far-right party that has called for land mines on the border, with 7 percent. All three will bedevil any coalition that accedes to German demands. What is causing the collapse of the center in Europe? The austerity being imposed by Germany and her hard-money allies in the north of Europe on the indebted nations of the south of Europe. Across the continent, voices are rising to demand that a growth package be attached to Angela Merkel’s fiscal pact. But a growth package means tax cuts and spending increases. How do Europe’s nations provide these without adding to deficits and national debts, which mean new borrowing and the higher interest rates that are a primary cause of the present crisis? From inception, the European project was built on a Faustian bargain. Free-riding off America’s defense, enjoying a pros-

perity produced by internal free trade and the explosive growth of their welfare states, financed at low interest rates once the euro was accepted as the common currency, they came to relish the good times. Now the bill has come due. Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain must sacrifice and suffer to pay for these good times. Their public sectors must be pared back, pensions reduced, retirement age advanced. They must work harder and longer for all the years it takes to put their fiscal houses in order and pay back what they owe. The left is saying is: We want our pensions restored, our public employees rehired. If our leaders need more money, take it from the rich, take it from the banks, take it from the big corporations. The right is saying: We want our countries and culture back. We want our borders closed. We want no more immigration from the rest or Europe or the rest of the world. Let France be France again. Let Greece be Greece again. (Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”)

TRIBUTE CONTINUED FROM 1A
Jane Ashe I am so blessed to have such a wonderful mom. Jane Ashe has been the most wonderful mother any daughter or son could ask for. She has always been there for my brother, my sister, and I. We have been so blessed to have grown up in such a wonderful Christian home where we always felt safe and loved. My mom is the most kind-hearted, caring, loving, giving Christian woman I know. She has always put our needs before her own and even though we are all grown with children of our own, she still does. What's amazing about my mom is she also puts so many others' needs before her own as well.
She has been such a wonderful example for me and our family. I could not have made it through my life without her. She has been there for me (and my brother and sister) through good times. But she definitely stood right by our sides through the bad times as well. I would never have made it this far without her. I am so thankful I can pick up the phone and call her anytime for anything and she'll be right there. I am so thankful my boys have such a loving and patient grandmother. They adore Gran-Gran! God definitely blessed me when she chose Jane Ashe to be my mom and I will forever be grateful. — Lisa Ashe Beavers Ann Dickson Walker

What influence has your mother had on your life? Do everything with grace, treat everyone with respect and never wear white after Labor Day are just a few of the directives my mother has shared with me on numerous occasions. Having being reared by a family with ample female role models, I am constantly reflecting on the lessons learned from those who have passed away and continue to be taught how to navigate through life’s daily waters by my mother. My mother has always been an educator in some form or fashion her entire adulthood. She helped shape the minds and lives of over 1,000 students in her career. From dissecting frogs in science class to directing the school musi-
cal, I forever will be grateful to have shared in these experiences. Her creativity and desire to make everything with love never ceases to amaze me. I truly am the luckiest person to have Ann Dickson Walker as my mentor and mother. — Beth Barber Jones Diane Hill Yes, it's true! If you haven't already heard, my mom is the greatest mom in the entire world. She has always been there for me, supporting me through thick and thin from being a toddler gymnast, to a teenage marching band field commander. No matter what, I know I can always look out into the crowd and see my mother smiling at me with encouraging eyes, never doubting that I would do my very

best. Even if I messed everything up, I knew at the end she would be waiting on me with positive feedback. I believe out of all the activities I've been involved in, she has only missed one of my performances. That shows how dedicated she is to being the best parent she can be. My mother's smile can brighten up a room. She never hesitates to say a kind word or meet someone new. You can't help but laugh at her hilarious comments and goofy ways. Her favorite thing in the entire world is to make someone's day a happy one. She's the best at faking a smile even if her world is crashing down around her. I try to remember that everyday of my life and live it to the fullest, just as she

does. When someone tells me I'm just like my mom, I take it as a compliment. She is a true role model. Mom is the most considerate person I know. She never hesitates to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it. She always makes time for my brother and I, as well as my dad. She could be exhausted from a hard day at work, but still be right there the second we need her. Often times, she won't go to bed until all of my homework is finished because she's afraid I may need her help. Not only does she make time for us, but for Jesus as well. She is very confident in her faith and is not afraid to show it. I admire that in so many ways. Please see TRIBUTE | 12A

Teen’s body spray sets off fire alarm Associated Press
MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — Officials say a fire alarm that went off at a Connecticut high school was activated by a student’s “overabundance” of body spray in a locker room. Firefighters were
called to Middletown High School shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday. Officials told The Middletown Press that the student used an excessive amount of the scented spray and created a cloud of mist right be-
low a heat sensor, which tripped the fire alarm. Firefighters allowed students and teachers to return to the building shortly after arriving. Officials deemed the call a “routine accidental.”

Rescued girl tells sister: ‘Now we can go home’ Associated Press
GUNTOWN — Days of grueling searches for two young girls and the kidnapper who killed their mother and sister led to the kind of terrain that favors the hunted — high hardwoods and deep ravines near a red-brick church perched on a hill. Specially trained officers had come up emptyhanded for days but were following another lead Thursday evening after Adam Mayes was put on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List. Dozens of tips turned up nothing. This latest lead officers to the woods near Zion Hill Baptist Church, just a couple of miles from Mayes' rented mobile home in Guntown, where 31-year-old Jo Ann Bain and her 14-year-old daughter, Adrienne, had been buried in a shallow grave. The officers had searched the church and later split up and set out down two old logging roads leading deep into the forest. Just 60 yards down, Mississippi Highway Patrol Master Sgt. Steve Crawford saw a little girl's head in the dirt. Within inches, another child. A few more inches, the man who proved so elusive. A search that dragged on for days ended in seconds. “Let's see your hands,” the officers shouted. Mayes pushed himself up to his knees, pulled out a 9 mm pistol and shot himself in the head. He didn't utter a word, and died a couple hours later at hospital. Twelve-year-old Alexandria Bain and 8-yearold Kyliyah sat up, subdued, within reach of Mayes' body. Crawford said they didn't cry, instead looking almost relieved. “Now we can go home,” Lt. Lee Ellington heard the older girl tell her little sister. Ellington was part of a team from the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks. Home was a place the girls hadn't seen since April 27, when Mayes, a

the public's help in finding the family. At first, investigators still said they have no evidence of a crime. However, according to police documents, Mayes' wife, Teresa admitted her involvement around the same time. The documents show Teresa Mayes told investigators she saw Adam Mayes kill the mother and daughter in the garage of their home so he could abduct the younger children. Their bodies were loaded into a car, along with Adam Mayes, Alexandria and Kyliyah, and Teresa Mayes drove everyone some two hours to the mobile home in Guntown. Teresa Mayes also tells authorities she saw her husband digging a hole in the backyard. On May 5, the Mississippi Highway Patrol issued an amber alert for the children in that state, warning that Mayes is armed and dangerous. That same day, investigators say two bodies are found buried in the Mayes' backyard. They are badly decomposed and are not identified as Jo Ann and Adrienne Bain until two days later. By May 8, Adam Mayes' wife and his mother have been arraigned on charges of helping with the crimes, but there was still no trace of the two sisters. The girls told their rescuers they had gone three days without any food or water, so it's possible that's about the time they began hiding out in the woods, an area filled with old deer hunting shelters. Some investigators believe they were in the woods even longer before being found late Thursday, exhausted, dehydrated and itching with poison ivy. Alexandria and Kyliyah's ordeal then came to an abrupt end, just a few miles from where their mother and sister had been buried. They were given water, whisked away in an ambulance, shielded by giant white sheets at the hospital so they could walk into the emergency room without the glare of news cameras.
friend they considered an uncle, killed Jo Ann and Adrienne Bain in the garage of their home in Whiteville, Tenn., according to police. Mayes, a friend of Jo Ann's husband, Gary, had gone to the house the night before to help the family pack for a move to Arizona. Instead, police say he killed the mother and daughter, packed their corpses into a car, grabbed the younger girls and headed south with his wife to the mobile home in Guntown. Authorities have not said how they were killed or what time it may have happened. Police say Gary Bain told them his wife and daughters were asleep when he went to bed at midnight and were gone when he woke the next day, but he figured the girls went to school and Jo Ann had gone somewhere, too. But she didn't answer her phone that day, and the girls never got off the school bus that afternoon. At 8 p.m., he called the Hardeman County Sherriff's Office to report them missing. Police interviewed Mayes. Even Mayes admits to investigators on April 29 that he was the last one to see Jo Ann and the girls, but police said they had no evidence of a crime. And it first, it wasn't known if Jo Ann had willingly left and taken the kids with her. On April 30, Jo Ann Bain's SUV was found abandoned on a country road in Tennessee. That same day, Adam Mayes was seen at a market in Mississippi with his usual long hair chopped off. He told another customer it will be cooler in the hot, brutal Southern summer; investigators would later warn he may have cut the girls' hair to disguise them, too. Hardeman County Sheriff John Doolen said two days later that Mayes is a person of interest in the case but that there are no signs of foul play — not yet. On May 4, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation issued an endangered child alert, pleading for

tions on the basis of trust. When trust is gone, the leader soon will be. â– Respect is vital to a leader. Without it, no one will follow. Title or position will not help it. With it, everyone follows, and title and position will not be needed. • Leadership development is a lifelong journey – not a weekend trip. Old leadership proverb: “He, who thinks he leads, but has no followers, is only taking a walk.â€?

dustry.� “Our entire team is honored to receive this distinction from such a great customer like Walmart,� said Phil Pierce, Averitt’s executive vice president of sales and marketing. “Striving to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations is always our goal. We’re more than simply a vendor; we develop true partnerships that allow us to provide transportation solutions that help our customers deliver better products and service to their customers.� Pierce explained Averitt is one of several regional LTL carriers that provide transportation from thousands of vendors to Walmart’s distribution centers. Often, these shipments are held to strict must arrive by date (MABD) standards, and Averitt has proven to be successful at meeting
those requirements. “Timing, flexibility and a focus on customer service are key to delivering on what we promise to all our customers. When we succeed in those areas, we’re making our customers happy,� said Pierce. “Earning an award like Walmart’s Regional LTL Carrier of the Year Award is icing on the cake.� Now in its 41st year of service, Averitt Express is a leading provider of freight transportation and supply chain management with international reach to more than 100 countries. It is a fullservice transportation and logistics provider that serves the Corinth area. The company is a founding SmartWaySM partner and a member of The Reliance NetworkTM, a network of carriers that provides seamless LTL services throughout North America.

Grizzlies confident, realistic for Game 7 Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies are confident, yet realistic. They’ve got their series with the Los Angeles Clippers back to even with a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday. At least this decisive game will be played in Memphis. The Grizzlies lost in the Western Conference semifinals last spring with the seventh game in Oklahoma City, and they feel the hostile road environment played at least a small part. The Grizzlies will have a sellout crowd on hand as they try to finish a rare rally from a 3-1 series deficit against the Clippers, who blew their second chance to advance with a 90-88 loss Friday night. Grizzlies forward Rudy
Gay missed last year’s Game 7, watching from the bench with his injured shoulder in a sling, and he said Saturday he’s looking forward to this game even though none of the Grizzlies thought this series would go this far. “Win or go home,” Gay said. “Really I haven’t done that since college, so it’ll be fun.” Only eight NBA teams have rallied from a 3-1 deficit, though the Denver Nuggets had a chance to make that nine Saturday night with their own seventh game against the Los Angeles Lakers. “We’d much rather be playing Game 7 here than in L.A. and having a chance to close out a series here at home,” Grizzlies guard Mike Conley said. “It’s definitely going to be a loud environment, and
we’re expecting a lot of people to come ... We just got to be emotionally stable and ready to go.” The Grizzlies flew home immediately after their second straight win and landed around 4 a.m. local time. The Clippers, with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin nursing injuries, flew to Memphis on Saturday afternoon. This will be the second Game 7 of Paul’s career, so he knows what to expect. His advice? Hold nothing back. “This is why you play for those Game 7s, everyone to see what we’re made of,” Paul said. That might be easier said than done. Many of the Clippers had called Friday night their Game 7, wanting to close out
this series and earn a trip to San Antonio to play the topseeded Spurs in the second round. Instead, they’re back in Memphis on a trip they didn’t want to make until sometime next season. The Clippers did take a lead in the fourth quarter, scoring 10 straight points to go up 76-66. But the team that had controlled the fourth quarter most of this series watched the Grizzlies grab it back with a 17-4 run that included a couple of turnovers by Paul. The four-time All-Star guard played with a strained right hip flexor, while Griffin appeared slowed by a sprained left knee — both injuries that happened in Game 5 in Memphis, where Please see GRIZZLIES | 9A

MLB poised to pick off the 3rd-to-1st move Associated Press
NEW YORK — Yankees reliever Rafael Soriano stepped toward third base and bluffed a pickoff throw, then twirled and made a soft toss to first. No dice, the Tampa Bay runners didn’t fall for that ol’ trick — they’d seen it too often. Starting next year, no one might ever see that exact play again. Major League Baseball is poised to pick off the muchmaligned move, the fake-tothird, throw-to-first ploy that often succeeds only in getting the whole ballpark to shout “Balk!”
“I think they should get rid of it,” Yankees reliever Boone Logan said. “Us lefties can’t do that. If we do, they call a balk.” “Besides, how often does it work? Maybe once in never,” he said. The Playing Rules Committee has approved a proposal to make it a balk, too, with MLB executives and umpires in agreement. The players’ union vetoed the plan for this season to discuss it further. MLB is allowed to implement the change after a one-year wait — no telling whether that would happen if players
strongly object. Under the new wording, a pitcher could not fake to third unless he first stepped off the rubber. If he stayed on the rubber, as Soriano did Wednesday night, it would be a balk. Most every pitcher now makes the move the same way Soriano did. “Some people think you’re just trying to deceive the runner at first, that you have no real intention of getting the guy at third,” Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “You’re not trying so much
to get a guy off third. You’re not going to do that very often,” he said. “But it can be a huge deterrent for the runner at first.” Scioscia is a member of Commissioner Bud Selig’s panel for on-field issues. Would Scioscia be sorry to see the play tossed? “I don’t know if ‘sorry’ is the right word. It means you’ll just have to find another way to control the running game,” he said. Scioscia’s team has had great success using what Please see MLB | 9A
Braves outlast The FCS set to expand playoff system in 2013 Cardinals 9-7 Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — The way Carlos Beltran was swinging, Atlanta Braves relievers felt as if they had to face the St. Louis Cardinals’ cleanup man every inning. Jason Heyward got the swing that really counted, hitting a two-run homer in the 12th inning of a 9-7 victory Friday night, putting a damper on the CarPlease see BRAVES | 9A
It has taken college football’s elite more than 100 years to be dragged toward a playoff system that will likely still only have a handful of teams. Smaller schools have been doing the playoffs for a long time — and they’re about to make them bigger. The Football Championship Subdivision is on the verge of expanding its playoff system from 20 to 24 teams
by 2013. The proposal would give an automatic bid to all FCS leagues that want one, seeds the top eight teams and gives them first-round byes and home games in the following round. “The concern has been we’ve haven’t had a full tournament with automatic qualifiers for all the existing conferences. That’s a big part of making sure everybody has an opportunity for their champion to participate,”
said Appalachian State athletic director Charlie Cobb, the new chairman of the Division I Football Championship Committee. “The sentiment is that by seeding the top eight, it keep more to a truer sense of what a national tournament is about, and I think that’s the beauty of what we have.” The proposal goes before an NCAA championships cabinet next month and will be subject to final approval
by an executive committee on Aug. 2. It is expected to pass and be in place for the 2013 playoffs, which will include three more at-large bids and one more automatic qualifier in the Pioneer League. “It’s the next logical step in our development of the FCS championship,” said Kyle Kallender, the Big South commissioner and chairman of the FCS commissioner’s Please see FCS | 9A

the Grizzlies started their rally in this series. Paul said he knows the energy will be high at FedExForum, though the Clippers have confidence from winning the first game in this series in Memphis. Paul said a key will be how officials let them play. “We got to come out and be as aggressive as possible,” he said. Just as the Clippers’ injuries and bruises pile up, the Grizzlies have kicked it into gear with their inside-out game. The combination of Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph is why Memphis knocked off San Antonio despite being the No. 8 seed last spring before pushing the Thunder to seven games.

some clubs call the “horn” play — the name comes from managers extending their index and pinky fingers in a “Hook ‘em Horns” gesture, indicating opposing runners at first and third. Last August, with Los Angeles leading 6-4 at Yankee Stadium, New York put men at the corners with two outs in the ninth inning. Rookie Jordan Walden bluffed toward third a couple of times, then did it again and trapped Curtis Granderson off first for the final out. This year, the Angels struck again in the Bronx when starter Ervin Santana faked to third and nailed Brett Gardner at first. The play is specifically addressed in the Official Baseball Rules under Rule 8.05 (c), which states: “It is possible, with runners on first and third, for the pitcher to step toward third and not throw, merely to bluff the runner back to third; then seeing the runner on first start for second, turn and step toward and throw to first base. This is legal.” Hence, no balk. Not yet, anyway. “Major League Baseball and the players decide what the rules of baseball are. We just enforce them,” longtime umpire Jim Joyce said. New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson, chairman of the Playing Rules Committee, points out “it’s evolved over time what’s acceptable on what you can do at different bases.” A bluff to third is legal, for example, but the same fake to first is not. Fleet San Francisco leadoff man Angel Pagan isn’t too worried about whether the move is made illegal.

committee. For Football Bowl Subdivision fans who’ve long thought the BCS was unfair, seeing the words logic and champion in the same sentence might be strange. But the FCS has been holding a playoff since 1978. It expanded to 20 teams with five seeds in 2010 and, according to Kallander, started considering further expansion even then as a way to more fairly accommodate a growing membership that will include 124 teams in 2012. There was also a desire to provide an automatic bid to the Pioneer League. The Ivy League and the Southwestern Athletic Conference don’t send their champions to the FCS playoffs. With those tenets as a starting point, FCS officials brainstormed a number of possibilities that included: ■ A bracket model that seeded all 24 teams. ■ A regionalization model with six teams seeded in four regions based on geography. ■ A Final Four model where national semifinals and the title game would be played on sequential weekends on one site. For reasons ranging from attendance to money to competitive fairness, none of those ideas made the final cut.

“Unfortunately, we just couldn’t finish them off.” A sellout crowd was on hand to watch the Cardinals retire La Russa’s No. 10 in a pregame ceremony that included several of the managers’ former players. But seven Atlanta relievers combined for 7 1-3 innings of one-run ball, helping the Braves end a seven-game losing streak in St. Louis that included a three-game sweep last September that propelled the Cardinals past Atlanta for the NL wild card on the way to their second World Series championship in five years. “They’ve had a good team here for years and they have another good team,” Heyward said. “Our pitchers hung in there, our defense hung in there.” St. Louis loaded the
bases in the 10th and 11th, but came up empty against Livan Hernandez (1-0). Pinch-hitter David Freese grounded into an inning-ending double play to end the 10th and Craig popped out to second to end the 11th. “We had some opportunities to finish it off,” manager Mike Matheny said. “We just couldn’t make it happen.” Chipper Jones, who got a standing ovation before his first at-bat to begin his final scheduled series in St. Louis, walked against Kyle McClellan (0-1) to start the 12th. Heyward followed with his fifth homer to the power alley in leftcenter, close to the wall decal of La Russa

GOP: Gay marriage an issue but not like economy WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama delighted his liberal base by coming down on the side of gay marriage, but he cheered the opposition, too. Republican activists now want to use Obama's stance on the issue — public opinion is about evenly split — to paint the president as a flip-flopper and to boost Mitt Romney's image in the eyes of conservatives who are still warming to him. Yet, across the Republican Party, from leaders to activists interviewed since Obama's announcement, there's been wide agreement to use the gay marriage issue selectively — in battleground states that have banned gay marriage, for example— and keep the GOP's national political focus on Obama's stewardship of the economy. “I'm going to stay focused on jobs, thanks,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said repeatedly when asked about Obama's announcement on gay marriage. “The president can talk about it all he wants. I'm going to stay focused on what the American people want us to stay focused on.” Romney is taking a similar approach, avoiding any discussion of the issue unless he's questioned about it and focusing on the economy. “It's hard right now. It's real tough,” he said Friday in Charlotte, N.C. “It's because of the wrong policies. The right policies are going to put America back to work and make us the economic powerhouse we've always been.” While Republican activists acknowledge that the economy is the top concern for voters, they also see the night-and-day contrast between Obama and Romney on gay marriage as being too good not to exploit at the right times, in the right places. On questions of whether Romney's sufficiently conservative, for example. Or on the subject of consistency. Particularly appealing, some activists said, was the White House's notion that Obama's “evolution” on the issue is somehow
different from flip-flopping. “This is one situation where Obama looks like the flip-flopper and Romney looks consistent,” said Ralph Reed, president of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, a conservative, grass-roots advocacy group. “So much for the notion that Romney's the one with no core.” Romney has taken heat from Democrats and some Republicans for changing his position on some issues, such as abortion. But the former Massachusetts governor has not done so on gay marriage. He has been consistent in saying he believes marriage is between a man and a woman.
AP source: Feds investigate leak in terrorism case WASHINGTON — Federal investigators are conducting a probe into who leaked information about an al-Qaida plot in which an explosive device was to have been detonated on a U.S.-bound airline flight, a law enforcement official said Wednesday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity about the leak investigation, which is just getting under way. The federal investigation is the latest move in an aggressive campaign by the Obama administration to crack down on leaks, even as it has supported proposed legislation that would shield reporters from having to identify their sources. The administration has already brought at least six criminal cases against people for discussing government secrets with reporters, more than under any previous presidency. The investigation follows stories by The Associated Press and other news organizations disclosing the terrorist operation by the group known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. The reports said that al-Qaida had completed a sophisticated new, nonmetallic underwear bomb last month and that the would-be suicide bomber actually was a double agent working with the CIA and Saudi intelligence agencies. The would-be suicide bomber secretly turned over the group's most up-to-date underwear bomb to Saudi Arabia, which gave it to the CIA. Before he was whisked
to safety, the spy provided intelligence that helped the CIA kill alQaida's senior operations leader, Fahd al-Quso, who died in a drone strike last weekend. In an appearance Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee, FBI Director Robert Mueller said the FBI is examining the explosive device. He said the scheme hatched in Yemen demonstrates that it's essential for Congress to reauthorize counterterrorism tools enacted in 2008. Some of these programs expire at year's end.
Highway deaths fall to record low WASHINGTON — Highway deaths declined again last year, reaching their lowest rate when compared to miles driven since such record-keeping began in 1921, according preliminary government data released Monday. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's early estimate of 2011 traffic fatalities released Monday said there were 32,310 deaths in motor vehicle crashes last year, a drop of 1.7 percent from the previous year. That's the lowest number of deaths in more than 60 years. Safety experts have attributed the historic decline to a variety of factors, including less driving due to a weak economy, more people wearing seat belts, better safety equipment in cars and efforts to curb drunken driving. Jackie Gillan, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, said she welcomed the trend, but cautioned against complacency. “You are still losing 32,000 people a year,” Gillan said. “And we still don't know whether when the economy comes back and is really robust, what that is going to do.” In the past, when “the economy bounces back and people are doing more discretionary driving and things like that,” highway deaths have gone back up, she said The number of miles driven on America's roadways declined last year by 35.7 billion miles, or 1.2 percent, the safety administration said. There were 1.09 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, down slightly from 1.11 deaths in 2010. That's the lowest rate on record,
Postal Service: Will keep rural post offices open BY HOPE YEN Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Bending to strong public opposition, the nearly bankrupt U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday backed off a plan to close thousands of rural post offices after May 15 and proposed keeping them open, but with shorter operating hours. The move to halt the shuttering of 3,700 lowrevenue post offices followed months of dissent from rural states and their lawmakers, who said the cost-cutting would hurt their communities the most. In recent weeks, rising opposition had led Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe to visit some rural areas in a bid to ease fears about cuts that could slow delivery of prescription drugs, newspapers and other services. In an election year, the angst over postal closings also extended to nearly half the senators, who in letters last week urged Donahoe to postpone closing any mail facility until Congress approves final postal overhaul legislation. The Senate last month passed a bill that would halt many of the closings; the House remains stalled over a separate bill allowing for aggressive cuts. “I could live with this plan, and I think the majority of people could,” said June Nygren, who runs the Jersey Lilly Saloon & Eatery in the tiny Montana town of Ingomar. Donahoe visited the rural town of about 80 people last month, which welcomed him with a spread of homemade baked goods and a packed school gymnasium as people pleaded for their post office to stay open. “I felt he really paid attention, and apparently he did,” Nygren said. At a news briefing, Donahoe said he hoped the latest plan will help allay much of rural America's concern about postal cutbacks. He prodded Congress to act quickly on legislation that will allow the agency to move ahead with its broader multi-billion dollar cost-cutting effort and return to profitability by 2015. “We've listened to our customers in rural America, and we've heard them loud and clear — they want to keep their post office open,” he said. “We believe today's announcement will serve our customers' needs and allow us to achieve real savings to help the Postal Service return to longterm financial stability.” While no post office would be closed, more than 13,000 rural mail facilities could see reduced operations of between two hours and six hours a day, but only after a review process that is expected to take several months. An additional 4,000 rural post offices would keep their full-time hours. The agency also will announce new changes next week involving its proposal to close up to 252 mail processing centers. After the Postal Service gets regulatory approval and hears public input sometime this fall, the new strategy would go into place over two years and be completed in September 2014, saving $500 million a year by reducing full-time staff. Under the plan, communities would get the
option of keeping their area post offices open, but with reduced hours. Another option would be to close a post office in one area while keeping a nearby one open full time. Communities could opt to create a Village Post Office, one set up in a library, government office or store such as Walmart, Walgreens or Office Depot. “At the end of the day, we will not close rural post offices until we receive community input,” said Megan Brennan, the Postal Service's chief operating officer. The latest move comes as the Postal Service is pushing Congress to pass cost-saving postal legislation that includes an end to Saturday mail delivery. The Senate-passed bill would give the Postal Service an $11 billion cash infusion but also impose a one-year freeze on shuttering rural post offices. It would reduce by half the planned closings of mail processing centers, give affected communities new avenues to appeal closing decisions and bar cuts to Saturday delivery for at least two years. At the time it was passed, the Postal Service denounced the Senate bill as “totally inappropriate” because it would keep unneeded facilities open. In the House, hesitancy among rural lawmakers is helping to stall a separate bill that would allow for far more aggressive cuts, including a more immediate end to Saturday delivery. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., a co-sponsor of the House bill, said the plan announced Wednesday doesn't cut costs enough. He noted, for instance, that additional cuts can be made in more densely populated urban communities, which should also be prodded to consider Village Post Offices or other alternatives that save money. “The smallest 10,000 post offices collectively cost USPS less than $600 million to operate each year,” he said. “To achieve real savings creating long-term solvency, the Postal Service needs to focus on consolidation in more-populated areas where the greatest opportunities for cost reduction exist.” Most of the 3,700 post offices that had been under review for possible closing had been in rural areas with low volumes of business, with most having only two hours of business a day even though they are open longer. Currently the post office operates more than 31,000 retail outlets. The agency said its new plan will save more, mostly by weeding out full-time postmasters who don't have labor contract protections and replacing them with part-time workers. It plans to discuss possible buyouts with 13,000 postmasters who are now eligible for retirement. More than 80 percent of postal costs in rural areas are labor-related. The Postal Service has been grappling with losses as first-class mail volume declines and more people switch to the Internet to communicate and pay bills. The agency has forecast a record $14.1 billion loss

GARDEN CONTINUED FROM 1A
ed to do, it was just like God had people waiting to help.” The garden is something that will not only assist those in need but help believers get more involved in the Lord’s work, according to Bostick. “Our folks have to get outside the walls of the church,” said Bostick. “The government is doing things that the church should be
doing ... if Jesus was here today he would be out somewhere doing this.” Bostick doesn’t want this to stop with Oakland. He would like to see other churches join in and plant gardens. “My dream is to see every church in Alcorn County plant just a 10x10 garden and say to people there is no need to go hungry,” he said. One church — Crossroads Baptist — has already
accepted the challenge. “I want the community to know we aren’t up here just taking care of ourselves,” said Bro. Bostick. “God struck me in the heart with this ... the land was just there ready to be used.” “That Saturday was amazing,” added Hinton. “It was a blessing to see the people get involved and work with such joy.” Bostick wanted Hinton to organize the garden due
to his experience in the agriculture field. The 1st District Supervisor worked with the Mississippi State Extension Service for 23 years and is a lifelong farmer. “When I came to Lowell he never gave it a second thought,” said the Oakland pastor. Hinton expects the initial harvest to happen around the first of July. “If it comes on, we will have a lot of vegetables and
some plants will be bearing for quite awhile,” said Hinton. Each member of the church, young and old, can play a part in the garden, according to the pastor. “I want to involve everyone and make this a family affair,” said Dr. Bostick. “I want our youngest children to feel a part of this and have others also step forward.” “The good part is so many people want to be
part of this,” added Hinton. When the garden is harvested, Bostick says the church will place an add in the newspaper to let those needy in the community know when they can pick up the vegetables. “On those days they can come and we will already have it harvested for them or we can take it to them if they aren’t able,” said the pastor. “It’s going to be a beautiful picture of God’s people working together.”
I have to admit I see my mom's influence in every aspect of my life. The most important thing my mom taught me was to believe and trust in Christ Jesus. She taught me that family is a priority, to always do my best, don't worry about what others are doing, do it right the first time, do what you say, be respectful of others, stand up for what you believe in and don't be afraid of hard work. She is my best cheerleader, defender and friend. In the process of raising my two boys, I am constantly reminded of my mom. I hear her words repeated as I try and teach my own children these most valuable lessons of love. She truly exemplifies Proverbs 31:28 “Her children arise and call her blessed” -- that is my mom. — Ginger Griffin Judy Smelser Dorothy Canfield Fisher once wrote, “A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary.” I could not agree more. The impact my mother has had on my life is immeasurable. My mom’s unfailing love and support have shaped me in to the person I am today -- independent, responsible and like my mother, a caretaker of others. Only now, as a mom of two daughters
myself, can I fully appreciate the countless daily blessings my mother gave me over the years. For being such an amazing mom, I am eternally grateful. — Amanda Leach Shirley Rinehart Let me share a riddle with you about my mother. She’s Martha Stewart in the garden and Betty Crocker at the stove. She taught Emily Post manners and Anne Taylor about clothes. She’s got better ears than Oprah and more cures than Dr. Oz. She has the faith of Job and and the fire of Peter. She’s my friend to share the good times, my shoulder to bear the bad. She’s the inspiration for my life and maybe you can guess who with some clues. She’s squeals Peeeeeeeeete across the hollar at Guys. She’s a longtime cardcarrying member of the CBC (that’s Chewalla Baptist Church) and a retiree of ITT. She’s the hostess with the mostess of the famous Family’s Café in downtown Guys. She’s a friend to many and mom to me. She gave me life and taught me how to live. All I am and want to be is just like Shirley (Rine-
hart) you see. Happy Mother’s Day and I love you. — Pam Wheeler Marea Wilson My mom has had a big impact on my life. My mom, dad and God are the most important people and my life. If it wasn't for my mom, I wouldn't be able to do half the stuff I do. I wouldn't be able to match my clothes, fix my hair, dress cute , how to think right and how to say no to bad decisions. We have our ups and downs, but we love each other more and more. Everybody says I look just like my mom and I take that as a really big compliment because my momma is so pretty, smart and young looking. Her smile always puts a smile on my face even if I'm having a bad or a good day. Her smile makes me smile. I love seeing my mom smile. It's been hard here lately with her mom passing away and her two kids growing up, but she keeps on staying positive and believing in God and knowing He has plans for each and every one of us. I hope one day when I become a wife and a mother, I take lessons from her right now and be just like her. She is the best momma ever. I couldn't even imagine my life without
her. I hope my momma has the best Mother's Day ever. She deserves the best. Hope you have a great Mother's Day. Thanks for everything you do for me, Preston and daddy. I'm one blessed 12-yearold girl who God gave me my mom. — Olivia Wilson Brylene Teague My mother has always had a positive impact on my life. She hasn't always given me the answers I wanted to hear…and has made it very clear at times that she and I do not always see eye-to-eye. She has, however, always been here for me. She has a very big heart and compassion that is evident in her willingness to be in “my corner” -- even when it seemed no one else was. From a very young age, my mother taught me to stand up for what I believe, to set goals and work hard to achieve them, to believe in myself and to treat others fairly. She loves me unconditionally -- and knows me well enough to know that I know when I have messed up. She has been my biggest critic at times, but has also been my encourager, my confidant, my support, and my friend. Without her, I obvi-
ously would not be here, but I definitely would not be the person I am today. I am very thankful for the opportunity to live close to my parents. I get to see them often and I know they are just a phone call away. If I had to use one word to describe how I feel about the impact my mother has made on my life it would be blessed. I am truly blessed to have been raised by my Christian parents and am thankful for the joys of being raised in a small town with two parents who believed in me and taught me to be the best me I can be. I have seen my mother struggle recently with the effects of rheumatoid arthritis. Knowing she is in pain, yet she still manages to be supportive of our family, is a great lesson for us all. It was her goal to be supportive of her children and she has done a great job. She has worked hard to be supportive of her grandchildren---and is continuing to do so now. Mother has taught me a lot and has been a great example. She may “preach” to me from time to time about things I need to do or ways I need to be, but one thing for sure, she practices what she “preaches”. I love her with all my heart and I am very thankful she is mine. — Emily Crabb
TRIBUTE CONTINUED FROM 5A
I honestly have no idea what I would do without her. She has influenced my life so much. Diane Hill is by far the best mother anyone could ever ask for. — Erin Leigh Hill Darlene Whitaker My mother is the most incredible woman I know. She is a hard-working, loving, passionate, caring, giving, beautiful, Christian woman. Growing up, she was such an inspiration for me and my sister, Macy. She grew up with four brothers and she always told us, especially when we were fighting, that she would have given anything to have a sister. I knew how lucky I was to have one and as we grew older, she became more than just a mother to us, she became a best friend. Throughout the best and worst of times, she has always been there. She is my biggest fan and constant supporter. Now that I have a baby of my own, I understand how deep her love runs as a mother. I have a new appreciation for her and everything she has done for me. In my eyes, there is no one that could compare to her. I am truly blessed to call her mom. — Jenny Weatherford Kathy Teague

A Contraband family arrives in Corinth. The Moss House Hotel was used as the Provost Marshal’s Office. It’s the site of today’s Downtown Carwash.
Corinth Contraband Camp: A walk through history (Editor’s Note -- This is the final of a ninepart series of frequently overlooked sites in and around Corinth. However, Ranger Tom Parson will continue to have a column on the Daily Corinthian history page every Sunday.) There have been any number of articles about the Contraband Camp on North Parkway, but have you actually been there? The camp has become quite the gathering place for the fitness folk and every morning the sidewalk is trod by walkers looking to avoid the crowds at the Crossroads Regional Park. The path may be a little shorter in length but the company provided by the bronze residents and an understanding of what happened here, makes a 20-minute workout a walk through history. There are thousands of stories about Corinth in the Civil War, most of them dealing with military operations, deaths, wounds and suffering. The story told by the bronze figures at the Contraband Camp is different -- it is a story of freedom, new beginnings and hope.
It is a story of life. From the earliest days of the Civil War, wherever there was a Union army or garrison, there were runaway slaves. Under Federal law (the Fugitive Slave Act) slaves had to be returned to their masters and many hopeful runaways were forced back into bondage. Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler deplored this situation. He observed how slave labor was assisting in the Confederate war effort and he began to keep the runaways near his Virginia camps, declaring them to be “contraband of war.” The name stuck and runaway slaves were known as contrabands from that point on. Expeditions into enemy country were met by hordes of men, women and children seeking the safety of the armed Union soldiers. When the Union troops returned to their camps, the runaways created their own temporary communities. Most of the camps were squalid affairs -huts, shacks and tents scattered about with little thought given to food, water or sanitation. Hunger

the camp resembled a small village with frame and log houses on named streets, complete with a church, school, hospital and commissary. Four hundred acres
of farmland was tended by the residents, three hundred planted in cotton and the rest producing fresh vegetables for the army. In a matter of months, the camp was a thriving success and making a monthly profit of $4,000 to $5,000. Most importantly, far and above the clean swept streets and the black marks on a ledger sheet, the camp was a place of freedom, dignity and respect. People who had been considered mere property only weeks before were taking their own first steps in freedom. Adults and children were attending school, a privilege once denied them, and many of camp residents studied by candlelight after a hard day in the fields. When the law changed concerning blacks serving in the army, hundreds of men chose to enlist. At first they were merely guards over their own camp but eventually they were involved in the army’s campaigns and men from Corinth fought with distinction at the Battle of Brice’s Crossroads. The individual stories
of the camp are told in the bronze faces along the walkway. The proud “greeter” at the start of the walk welcomes you to the camp. She is followed by a laundress and a farmer. At the far end of the path are a mother and daughter on their own stroll, holding a Bible from which they are both learning to read. Further along is the kneeling Chaplain James Alexander, supervisor of the camp, who is assisting a young boy with a spilled pile of books. Last of all is the soldier, once a resident of the camp, he proudly wears the uniform of his country and stands guard over his family and friends. They’re here every day. Come on out for a walk and say hi. For more information on the Corinth Contraband Camp and the African American experience in the Civil War, visit the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center, a unit of Shiloh National Military Park, at 501 West Linden Street. The visitor center is open daily 8:00 to 5:00, and can be reached at 662-287-9273.
Prominent Iuka merchant built ‘house with the dogs’ Among the earliest settlers of Iuka were James Headley Doan and his wife, Emily Jane Tanner Doan. The couple moved to Iuka from Eastport. James was born May 3, 1830 in Lauderdale County, Alabama, the son of John and Martha Coburn Doan. As a child, James relocated with his parents to the vicinity of Farmington. By the time he was 19 years old, he and his father were merchants in Eastport. James later joined another early Eastport merchant, forming the firm of Matthews and Doan. On Oct. 4 1854, James married Emily Jane Tanner in Athens, Ala. She was the daughter of Samuel Tanner, the first mayor of Athens. In 1857, the driving of a golden spike one mile west of Iuka marked the completion of the Memphis & Charleston Railroad connecting the Mississippi River and the Atlantic Ocean by rail. Both James
RaNae Vaughn Historically Speaking
Doan and A. T. Matt h e w s joined a host of individuals and businesses relocating from Eastport to the “new” thriving
town of Iuka. Some accounts suggest James actually moved his small Eastport house to Iuka for his residence while his new and larger home was being constructed. Most sources indicate the residence at 203 W. Quitman Street was built in 1858 as the home for James H. Doan and his family. If this is correct, they had two young daughters, threeyear-old Emma Jimmie (who later married Benjamin Franklin McRae), and one-year-old Fannie Mae (who later married Clem J. Pointer) when they moved in. The next nine children born to this
couple were born in this house. The 1860 census lists both James H. Doan and his brother, John F. Doan, as merchants in Iuka. The Civil War of 1861-1865 had a marked impact on the young town with Union forces occupying Iuka. An interesting local account referring to this house reads: “From this home went the young husband and father to join the Confederacy in Roddy’s command under Forrest.” The story of his capture by the Union forces under Rosecrans, his imprisonment in a tent in the backyard of the old McDonald home, which, at the time, was Rosecrans’ headquarters, and his escape are a vital part of the lore of Iuka. After the war, James continued in business in Iuka. The served as president of the Board of Supervisors of Tishomingo County for a number of years, and it was in this position that he superin-
tended and managed the building of the old courthouse which was erected in 1870. This courthouse burned in 1886. James moved to Memphis in 1877 and established his cotton factory business located at 358 Front Street. Apparently, his wife and the younger children remained in Iuka for a short time and continued to reside in the Doan home. Even for several years after moving to Memphis, the family would travel, usually by train, between their two residences. In 1879, James joined Mr. Zenos N. Estes forming Estes-Doan Cotton Company occupying much more spacious quarters at 11-1⁄2 and 13 Union Avenue. On Feb. 6, 1885, the Iuka residence was sold to the family of Capt. R.H. Watson, owner of the Iuka Springs Hotel. James Headley Doan died at his residence in Memphis on Aug. 13, 1885. Different members of
the Watson family owned the Iuka home until June 20, 1916, at which time Mrs. Morella Watson Kuykendall sold it to Mrs. Mattie Watson Brown. The house later became known as the Dr. R.J. Brown home. Dr. Brown added iron dogs to the sides of the front steps leading locals to refer to the place as “the house with the dogs.” Mr. D.O. Jourdan of Iuka purchased the home from the Dr. Brown family on April 7, 1949. The house stood empty for several years until June 13, 1972, when it was sold to a family friend, Mrs. Ethel Childs of Baltimore. Mrs. Childs, prior to moving in, had the house nicely restored including the addition of a “widow’s walk” on the roof. Mrs. Childs furnished the home beautifully with her extensive collection of antiques. After the death of Mrs. Childs, the home was purchased March 25, 1988, by Mr. and Mrs. David
Bonds of Iuka who proceeded with an extensive remodeling. Their meticulous attention to detail has resulted in a magnificent show place which actually spans the history of the town of Iuka. The house has now been listed on the National Register of Historic Places An accident claimed the life of Mr. David Bonds in 2004 and on May 12th of that year Mrs. Cathy Jo Bonds sold the beautifully restored and maintained home to Dr. and Mrs. John Flexner. Old Tishomingo County and the town of Iuka are blessed with a treasure trove of architectural and historic structures and sites. The James H. Doan Home is prominent among them.

Success in outdoors requires business-like approach Being good at the hunting and fishing sports is as much about being skilled with the mind as it is about developing the necessary outdoor skills. If you think about it, sportsmen who seem to always have more success than others often exhibit many of the same qualities it requires to reach the pinnacle of success in the private sector. In the business world, employers have to plan ahead in order to meet their objectives, stress teamwork to get the job done, ask associates to be adaptable to change at the drop of a hat and for input on how to improve a process , efficiency or quality of the product. Once you put two and two together, in a strange sort of way, it sounds all
too familiar to how a sportsman goes a b o u t achieving his objecDavid tive on an Green o u t d o o r outing, Outdoors doesn’t it? Every job is going to have some type of stress involved at one time or another. If you know of one that doesn’t, call me. I want to apply. Stress is all too common in the workplace, but there are ways to control it. One of the better ways is by looking at the whole picture, familiarizing yourself with the process better and planning out the work so it will be less overwhelming. Serious sportsmen
can sometimes become stressed when their goals consistently fall just out of reach. Their expectations are high because they usually do well, and some even feel they have a reputation to uphold. The way to conquer stress in the outdoors is much the same as in the workplace. Increase your odds for success by looking at the big picture, analyze the situation and make adjustments accordingly. In business these days, change is inevitable. Companies are always looking for better ways to do things in order to compete and thrive on the global stage. Business as usual won’t cut it. That’s the same way sportsmen should look at it when an outing is not
Outdoor Channel uses MSU’s BuckScore tool BY KAREN BRASHER MSU Forest and Wildlife Research Center
MISSISSIPPI STATE — Mississippi State University’s BuckScore software is now the official scoring system for the Outdoor Channel. BuckScore is a software package that uses digital images to estimate the age and antler score of whitetailed deer. Developed by scientists in the university’s Forest and Wildlife Research Center and Extension Service, MSU licensed the product in 2010 to NBFog, a Texas-based company focused onoutdoor business. “This is a success story for the university on many levels,� said Chase Kasper, associate director for the university’s Office of Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer. “NBFog has been a great company to partner with and has
vigorously marketed BuckScore.� Affiliating with the Outdoor Channel will increase the potential for the BuckScore brand, Kasper added. Developed as a management tool for landowners and biologists, BuckScore can be used to estimate the deer population accurately. The patent-pending software uses physical features and statistically-driven models to estimate the antler size and age of photographed deer. “BuckScore is the result of more than 30 years of research on whitetailed deer,� said Steve Demarais, professor of wildlife ecology and management and co-developer of the BuckScore brand. “Prior to its development, we studied the variation in antler size and body size based on geographic region and antler trait heritability.�

going as planned. Instead of sticking with the same old strategy, they must be willing to change if they expect to get a better result. The ability to be able to make smarter decisions can be a big-time game changer. Many employers view teamwork as being vital to the success of their business. As it is said,� Two heads are better than one.� This analogy can also be applied to certain areas of the outdoors. As an example, most fishing tournaments consist of two-man teams competing against one another instead of being based on individual performance. A team must work together and help each other out in the allotted time given if they hope to attain their
goal. A person looking for the right career should stay positive and persistent. The tough economy can be discouraging, but you’re already defeated if you go ahead and throw in the towel. Likewise, sportsmen should approach their outdoor sports in the same way. Having confidence, persistence and poise gives birth to success. My uncle Cletus and an old friend of mine, Keith, epitomize exactly what I’m talking about. Whatever they went after, they went after it hard. They always gave 100 percent, and they were highly successful whether it was on the job or partaking in a recreational activity. Anyone who knew Cletus knows he was one
of the best around in his profession. I have to admit, though, it wasn’t so easy explaining to my wife why I was always coming in so late when Keith and I went on a fishing expedition. Linking business and the outdoors together may seem like an odd pair, but the same principles applied to each can make you successful in both.

Mr. and Mrs. Ricky Lovelace of Burnsville would like to announce the forthcoming marriage of their daughter Bethany Kristen Lovelace to Justin Morris Cheaves, son of Carl and Teresa Mills of Corinth . Bethany is the granddaughter of Mrs. Eva Moss and the late Mr. David Stidham and Mr. and Mrs. Andy Lovelace of Burnsville . Justin is the grandson of Ms. Maggie Sue Gray and the late Mr. Donnie Gray of Savannah , TN and Bro. Smiley and Doretta Mills of Corinth .

she earned a Bachelor of Science in Music Education. Justin is a 2005 graduate of Kossuth High School and an August 2010 graduate of the University of Mississippi where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Human Resource Management. He is presently employed as the Training Coordinator for First American National Bank of Iuka. The couple will exchange vows on Saturday May 19th at three o’clock in the evening at Wheeler Grove Baptist Church in Corinth , MS . A reception will follow in the church fellowship hall. All family and friends are invited to attend.
Planning a wedding can be an intimidating experience, but technology can help the couple and their guests enjoy the day. The Internet can be a good source of information about local photographers, caterers and florists, so investigate before signing on the dotted line. Check the reviews of other customers, and be sure to click the Images tab to see if any photos of the person’s work are available in addition to photos on their website. While most brides want the details of their wedding kept secret until the big day, local businesses should consider taking photos of their work and stamping their name and website on the photos. After the wedding, the bridal party can “like” or share the photos from the businesses’ Facebook page so friends and family can see the details of the day. If the business wants to link the design to the family, a signed photo release is a good idea. It’s an easy way to advertise and build customer loyalty. Stamping or watermarking your information is easy to do in free photo editing programs like Picasa (http://picasa.google.com/). After editing the photos, simply select the photos to which you wish to add a watermark. In the photo tray, left-click the Export button, check Add a Watermark and enter the desired text. Left-click OK. Some websites, such as http://www.theknot. com/, offer a one-stop resource that allows brides to choose vendors and select items for the reg-
istry. The only downside of such sites is that once your information is out on the World Wide Web, it’s out there forever. Websites that might be more useful in planning your wedding are http:// www.pingg.com/ and http://www.evite.com/. Both sites allow you to send out electronic invitations to everyone in your e-mail address book. Additionally, these sites allow recipients to respond immediately to the invitation from the convenience of their computers. Etiquette experts agree that you still have to send out a traditional paper invitation for the wedding itself. However, rules are relaxing for events, such as bridal showers and rehearsal dinners. Many couples are opting to put together a blog or website that answers frequently asked questions. One important aspect of wedding planning is getting everybody to the same place at the same time. Including directions to the wedding and reception venues on your website can be invaluable to your guests. Mapping websites, such as http:// maps.google.com/ and http://www.mapquest. com/, allow you to copy a link to a map and email the link to guests or to embed the map into a website. Simply type in the location and left-click Link or Embed to see available options. Another option is to provide a small printed card insert with directions. Use the websites listed above to find the location. As you plan your big day, use technology to alleviate some of the planning burden.

Loretta Lynn wants Deschanel in her musical BY CAITLIN R. KING Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country Music Hall of Fame member Loretta Lynn is taking her life story to Broadway, and she has tapped film and TV actress Zooey Deschanel to play her on stage. Lynn, 80, unveiled plans for a musical adaptation of “Coal Miner’s Daughter” during a Grand Ole Opry show at the Ryman Auditorium on Thursday night. Wearing one of her signature long sleeve, floor length dresses, the singer blew through four songs before bringing Deschanel onstage to sing the title tune. The announcement mirrored the way Lynn
invited actress Spacek on the Opry stage in 1979 to reveal that Spacek would play her in the upcoming film. Spacek later won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Lynn. “I have a friend here tonight. I don’t know if ya’ll remember when Sissy Spacek was with me. I brought her out here with me. She about fainted. We both fainted,” Lynn said with a laugh. “She went on to do the ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter,’ and you know from there. Well, there’s a little girl back stage that’s going to do the play of ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ on Broadway,” Lynn continued. “Zooey, where you at honey?” Deschanel, 32, the star
and a producer of the Fox comedy “New Girl,” then emerged in a short, vintage-inspired white dress. She grabbed Lynn’s hand and flashed a dazzling smile. “Are you going to help me sing ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’?” asked Lynn. “I’m going to help you sing,” said Deschanel, who has been nominated for a Grammy Award. “This is a great honor for me. This is my hero.” The two traded verses and they ended the song holding hands. “Coal Miner’s Daughter” was a No. 1 hit for Lynn in 1970 that she wrote about growing up as one of eight children in rural Kentucky. It became
the title of her 1976 autobiography and the basis for the 1980 movie, starring Sissy Spacek, which traces Lynn’s rise from humble beginnings into one of country music’s most beloved singers. In 1972, Lynn became the first woman to be named Entertainer of the Year by the Country Music Association. Among the songs performed in the film are “You Ain’t Woman Enough to Take My Man,” ‘’You’re Looking at Country,” ‘’I’m a Honky Tonk Girl,” and the title song. Plans for a stage adaptation are still in the beginning stages, with no creative team attached or workshop dates an-
nounced. The producers — Fox Theatricals and Scott Sanders Productions — have been behind such Broadway hits as “Legally Blonde,” ‘’The Color Purple,” ‘’Red” and “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” Deschanel has starred in such films as “Elf,” ‘’(500) Days of Summer” and “Your Highness.” Producers of the musical said their schedule would not conflict with the actress “New Girl” commitments. Deschanel also has a musical side. She has appeared on some of her movie soundtracks and in a jazz cabaret act called If All the Stars Were Pretty Babies. She has also re-
leased three albums with M. Ward as the folk-rock duo She & Him, and she performed three songs for the recent animated film “Winnie the Pooh.” One of those songs, “So Long,” was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Song Written For Visual Media. During the surprise duet Thursday as part of the Grand Ole Opry Country Classics, Deschanel sang her parts strong, with a convincing lilt in her voice. As the music faded out, Lynn said to the crowd, “Don’t forget her name. Her name is Zooey.” And with that, another coal miner’s daughter was born.
Unemployed man’s luck changes with signed Picasso print BY BARBARA RODRIGUEZ Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — An unemployed Ohio man was browsing at his local thrift store for items he could restore and resell when he spotted a Picasso poster with the word “Exposition” written across the front, some French words, and the image of a warped round face. He handed over $14.14 for what he saw as a nice commercial print. Some Internet searches later — and a closer look at markings on the lower right area — and he sold what’s believed to be a signed Picasso print for $7,000 to a private buyer who wants to remain anonymous. “A pretty darn good return,” said Zachary Bodish of Columbus with a chuckle. “Can’t get that at
the bank.” The 46-year-old Bodish, who was an event and volunteer coordinator at a museum for six years, originally turned to the Internet and a personal blog to write about his neat find from early March. Bodish had been supplementing his income with buying and reselling restored furniture, and he suddenly realized he may have hit jackpot. “I could tell it was not a modern print,” he said. “So I thought, ‘Well, it’s probably not really a fine Picasso print. What’s the chance of finding that in a thrift store in Columbus, Ohio?” His online search led him to the print’s history as an exhibition advertisement. And he began to look closely at some very faded red writing on the lower right area, which he
originally thought were random pencil marks from the thrift store. “It wasn’t until I realized where the signature would be, and that those little red marks were right where the signature should be, that I got a stronger magnifying glass out and determined that, ‘Holy cow! It’s really a Picasso.”’ Bodish said he consulted with art experts and met with a representative from Christie’s auction house to authenticate the piece. A Christie’s representative confirmed that Bodish met with a specialist, but the auction house said its policy is not to comment on items that aren’t sold through them. In this case, Bodish decided to sell the print privately in April. Lisa Florman, an associate history professor at
Horoscopes Sunday, May 13, 2012 BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate
The imaginative Pisces moon rules this Mother’s Day, insisting that you add a little extra soulful intention to your interaction with, if not your gift to, Mom. Mothers who are far away or who have shuffled their mortal coil will still find ways to communicate with loved ones. Look for a sign, and you’ll find one. ARIES (March 21-April 19). An act of loving initiative will open your heart. Show kindness to the one for whom you currently feel only neutrality. The tiniest gesture will liberate a flow of compassion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re not too eager to please these days. You sense your advantage: that others really do need what you contribute. Raise your price. This probably doesn’t have to do with money. There’s a more subtle exchange here. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your role as a consumer is a powerful one. It may even give you a rush of excitement to make a purchase now, as you realize that your life will be different after the money changes hands. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll expend more than the usual amount of effort chasing after others, trying to get them to take care of themselves and be safe, aware and smart. Tonight, take a break from the nurturing and focus on you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). After each interaction, people are either better off or worse off. You make it your personal responsibility to uplift everyone you meet. It’s as though you’re dusted with good cheer and a little of it rubs
off on every person you touch. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be affected by the Venus/Mars dynamic. Consider what your sign mate H.L. Mencken noted: “A man may be a fool and not know it — but not if he is married.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll realize what you did right and give yourself silent props. It’s beneficial to reward yourself in this admiring way. Your sign mate Oscar Wilde said it well, “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sports, fast vehicles and other highrisk activities have a certain appeal now, and you’ll find yourself slightly more willing to try your hand at the endeavor that is sure to thrill you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Can you make a living doing art? Will people pay for your talent? The venture in the back of your mind starts to push its way forward. Interesting developments emerge soon. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Wishing someone a wonderful life takes only seconds, if that. But it requires a sincere and very focused effort. Your heart and mind work together to shoot arrows of good energy into the core of the world. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As you think of the one you love, your physiology changes. You may experience a tingling or warming sensation. Loving thoughts unite your physical, emotional and spiritual selves. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You bring effervescence to your scene. People love to be around you because even when you’re not smiling, they can sense the burbling enthusiasm inside you.
Cryptoquip
Ohio State University, has written several essays and a book on Picasso. She said the print is a linocut, meaning it’s a design carved out and pressed with ink onto paper. She examined the print only through photos, but she said it’s very unlikely the piece is forged because the piece would sell for so low in the grand scheme of major art fraud. She said she’s examined many forged Picasso signatures in the past, but felt confident about Bodish’s print. Florman said Picasso designed the print to advertise a 1958 Easter exhibition of his ceramic work in Vallauris, France. She said the artist did these prints for several years, and it’s hard to tell how many are around today. There were 100 prints made for the ceramics exhibition, and Picasso
signed them all. But Florman said Bodish’s print, which is marked as No. 6, is valuable for being in the artist’s proof range. That means it’s possibly one of only a handful he personally reviewed before they were mass produced. “Any of the 100 are considered original prints,” she said. “There’s certainly some collectors who really place a premium on a single-digit number because it indicates the artist’s greater involvement with the actual printing, so those particular prints can fetch a higher price.” Florman said Picasso signed so many prints, it’s very plausible the piece ended up at a thrift store in the Midwest. “It’s kind of a fun story,” she said. “There’s nothing about it that seems fishy.” Ed Zettler, a 72-year-
old retired English teacher from Columbus, claims the print sat in his basement for years before he decided to donate it to the thrift store where Bodish later found it. Zettler, who said it was a housewarming present given to him by a friend in the 1960s, has no hard feelings about what happened. “I gave it away. Someone else found it. He fortunately saw more. It’s his,” Zettler said. “That’s the risk you take when you bring something to the thrift store.” Bodish said he plans to use the money for dayto-day bills, including his mortgage, utilities, food and even more quirky purchases at thrift stores and garage sales. “It’s just been a rough struggle to make ends meet,” he said. “I may have been fated to find it.”

1. My newspaper has never crashed, gone down or flashed animated ads at me. 2. Anywhere I travel, my newspaper goes with me. I don’t need a laptop or a wireless connection or a PDA. 3. I can read my newspaper while standing, while eating, while riding a bus, but not while driving my car, which is just as well since I should be paying attention to the road. 4. If I read a story I like, I can tear it out and save it, and not have to pay to read it 30 days later. 5. I don’t have to sign in or customize or register or remember passwords to read my newspaper. And I often enjoy articles in my newspaper on topics I wouldn’t normally think I’d be interested in. 6. My newspaper has high-resolution pictures and type on large pages that load almost instantly, making it easy to browse and enjoy. 7. My newspaper is cheap, disposable and easy to replace. If it’s lost or stolen, it’s no big deal. 8. My newspaper is not made of unrecyclable toxic materials. 9. If my newspaper makes a mistake, the correction is posted with an explanation. It’s not sneaky applied to the original story after I’ve read it. 10. I can read my newspaper sitting outside on a nice day in the sun, even if a breeze is blowing, because I know how to fold a newspaper.
