Corinth/Alcorn Parks & Recreation Director Ray Holloway and athletic director Robin Baker discuss park expansion plans.

Park director reflects on first year BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

With almost one year in the books as Corinth/Alcorn Parks & Recreation director, Ray Holloway has settled into his new position without much trouble. “It’s been an exciting first year,” he said. “I had a few

Shiloh National Military Park and the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center are getting ready to celebrate. The park has big plans when the National Park Service turns 100 in 2016. The NPS will soon begin the public engagement campaign “Find Your Park” to reintroduce national parks to a new generation of Americans. “Most of the public knows we have national parks, but when when they start naming them they begin with Yellowstone and Yosemite,” said Shiloh National Military Park Superintendent Dale Wilkerson. “The NPS campaign ‘Find Your Park’ helps to show we have national parks in our own backyard.” Shiloh has several things in the planing stage for next year’s celebration. “Over the next 18 months we have various events planned to help people reconnect with the park,” said Wilkerson. “There are still a lot logistics to work out since it’s a year away.” Shiloh Park got a jump start in its attempt to reconnect people with its Memorial Day event on May 25. “In years past, the park always did something big for

More than 7,600 flags Piano teacher retires after 56 years placed by volunteers BY STEVE BEAVERS

Sixteen year old Eagle Scout Andy Clausel took his time placing flags one foot in front of gravestones at the Corinth National Cemetery Saturday morning. “I don’t want to just go through putting flags out like it’s nothing,” he said. “I want to actually try to read all the names. I want to see who they were and what rank they were.” Clausel joined more than 100 other local Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and other organizations and volunteers to place small American flags on the more than 7,600 graves.

Eagle Scout Andy Clausel, 16, helped place more than 7,600 flags on graves at the Corinth National Cemetery on Saturday.

It all started with a knock at the door for piano teacher Janet Gray. Since that tap on the door in 1959, Gray has taught hundreds to play the musical instrument she loves the last 56 years. The Mississippi University for Women graduate moved to Corinth in 1958 with her husband the late Herman Gray. “I intended to be a teacher and teach English and speech,” said Gray, who taught one year of high school in Memphis after she was married. Then a Mr. Weston showed up at the Gray’s home after they moved to Corinth. “He had three little girls with him when I answered the door and said ‘someone told me you could teach piano,’” said Gray. “It wasn’t something I was looking to do, I just started doing it.” Gray would be teaching, but it would be in a different subject and place.

Janet Gray has taught hundreds to play the musical instrument she loves the last 56 years. “I was meant to be a high school teacher, but everything I was educated for I have used one way or another,” she said. Gray began giving lessons for a $1 each back in the last

“They were good teachers, but they were odd and because of their quirks I didn’t want to be like them,” she said. “When I got to college, even though I minored in piano, the teachers treated me as a piano major.” The brilliant instruction of Gray, who has played piano and organ at First United Methodist Church off and on over the years, ended on May 18 of this year with the recital of 15 students. Gray plans to move closer to her daughters in middle Tennessee next month. Playing the piano came natural for the 78-yearold. She began playing at the age of seven. She also went on to start a children’s choir, direct a middle school choir and youth choir and has sung in chancel choir all her life. “My grandmother played and we lived with her while my father was away at war in the 1940s,” said the mother of four. “It was easy to learn to play in the 40s.” By the time she was 11, Gray was playing the piano at church where her grandmother played. Her love of playing the piano also came into play during Herman’s marriage proposal. “I said ‘yes’ with one condition,” she said with a smile. “I told Herman I would marry him if he would get me a piano and a sewing machine … he said he had a piano and would get me a sewing machine.” Herman surprised his wife for Christmas in 1978. He had a grand piano delivered to the home as Janet’s gift. “It was the best Christ-

mas gift ever,” said a smiling Gray. Over the years, each of the Gray children learned to play the piano. Linda – the Gray’s oldest daughter – had a perfect place to learn while still a baby. “I would put her under the grand piano while I gave lessons,” said the piano teacher. “She grew up with music.” Gray’s final year of teaching almost came to an abrupt end a year early. She fell and broke her wrist in two places. The break turned into 11 days in ICU due to low sodium and potassium. Another month was spent rehabbing. It would be a year of injuries as Gray also suffered a broken ankle. “I had a year of recuperation,” she said. While in the hospital, Gray’s daughter asked her what she wanted to do with the rest of her life? Did she want to move closer to her daughters or did she want to remain in Corinth? “One day when she came to the hospital, I told her I wanted to teach one more year and then I would move to middle Tennessee,” said Gray. “I am looking forward to living closer to them and making new friends.” While in the hospital Mrs. Gray received confirmation everything was going to be okay. “God just spoke to me and told me things were going to be fine … there was no need to worry,” she said. Fifteen students displayed what they had learned during that last recital. The Fillmore Street Chapel was packed with former students of Gray.

“It was really special,” said Mrs. Gray. “I didn’t expect all that attention … everyone wanted their picture taken with me.” Gray is proud to see her former students continue to share their abilities with the rest of the community. “I am a strong believer in giving back and it is very gratifying to see them use their talents making music,” she said. “My goal was to teach them to do their best in everything in life and share it with others.” She doesn’t want those students remembering her. “They need to enjoy and use their music,” she said. The advice is something Gray has lived by. “Playing is my comfort,” said Gray. “I grew up doing it and I still love playing today.” Playing the piano is simple, according to the veteran teacher. “I believe anyone can learn to play,” said the grandmother of eight. “To learn to play you have to be committed to spending time at the piano … playing the piano is not for the faint of heart, you have to have focus, patience, selfdiscipline and the ability to listen.” Gray thinks time has flown as she looks back over her 56 years of giving piano lessons. “It seems like I started three years ago,” she said with a laugh. Gray isn’t soon to forget all the special times she has had in Corinth. “The community has been so supportive,” she said. “I love this town and take wonderful memories with me … I didn’t know I had all these friends until the last few years.”

Today in History

New Site seeks help with football program

Today is Sunday, May 24, the 144th day of 2015. There are 221 days left in the year.

BOONEVILLE — A change in classification has prompted New Site’s principal to seek help from the school board with its football program. Principal Ronald Clark told board members with the school’s move next season to the Mississippi High School Activities Association’s larger Class 3A there are serious safety concerns regarding proper coaching for the football team. Clark is currently searching for a head coach for the Royals due to the departure of Coach Ron Jackson who announced plans to resign at the conclusion of the current

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 24, 1935, the first major league baseball game to be played at night took place at Cincinnati’s Crosley Field as the Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-1.

On this date: In 1775, John Hancock was elected President of the Continental Congress. In 1962, astronaut Scott Carpenter became the second American to orbit the Earth as he flew aboard Aurora 7. In 1976, Britain and France opened transAtlantic Concorde supersonic transport service to Washington.

school year. The principal said football in Class 3A, which includes much larger schools than those they faced previously in Class 2A, is faster and more physical than what they’ve previously encountered. He said he’s struggled to find a top notch head coach due to a lack of facilities and the lack of a paid assistant coach. New Site plays its home games at Marietta Elementary School because it doesn’t have a football field of its own and Clark said the facilities at Marietta lack needed amenities including dressing rooms for opposing teams. Noting most teams in Class 3A have three or more assistant coaches, he said it’s been dif-

ficult to hire a top quality head coach under the current circumstances. He said it’s vital to hire a quality teacher who is also a quality coach for both positions and while good candidates have applied he needs to add a teacher unit to properly fill the positions. He said a new coach with the appropriate education credentials could fill much-needed teaching slots at the school as well as aid the football program. Board members agreed to consider the situation and took no action at Monday’s school board meeting.

Tobacco firms get partial win over claims on smoking effects Associated Press

WASHINGTON — America’s largest tobacco companies must inform consumers that cigarettes were designed to increase addiction, but not that they lied to the public about the dangers

of smoking, a federal appeals court ruled on Friday. The ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is a partial win for cigarette makers in the longrunning legal fight that began

in the Clinton administration in 1999. In this latest round, the companies objected to running court-ordered advertisements that would have branded themselves as liars. The ads would have begun

with a preamble statement that the companies “deliberately deceived the American public.” The ads stem from a 2006 court ruling ordering the companies to admit they had lied for decades about the dangers of smoking.

rector was about to make. “It was tough with the leagues. There were a lot of misunderstandings and rumors floating around. I had to put out a lot of fires and stop the rumors,” he said. “I wanted everyone -from coaches to parents -to feel welcome and know my door was always open if anyone should have any questions or concerns.” Holloway said not much actually changed with the park’s baseball and softball leagues, just a few processes and more that needs to gradually take shape. “It was more about educating folks. I have always done things the way they were supposed to be done — the way it was written,” said the 50 year old. “Most changes I made are because of sanctions that change each and every year, and I strive to keep up with what changes are made. The sanctioning changes are those that any department struggles through with each year being different, and there’s so many sanctioning governing bodies out there with us trying to find the right fit to pursue

higher levels of play.” Before Holloway landed closer to home, he spent more than 12 years in Clinton as the director of the Clinton Parks and Recreation Department. He also served in several roles in Tupelo Parks and Recreation for 11 years and as director in Brookhaven, Ga. Holloway said he wants his employees and his board to know as much as he does about operating a successful park. “In this profession there has to be staff and supporters that are diverse and committed. They have all been very open to my recommendations,” he said. “It’s been very refreshing and everyone seems to want to expand in the various levels of recreation.” Holloway’s main focus moving forward is creating unity among the citizens of Corinth and Alcorn County. “I want people to feel at home when they come to Crossroads Regional Park and Bishop Park. These parks belong to the citizens we serve and it should be our ultimate goal to make sure all constitutes needs are being

met,” he said. As emphasis changes, park and rec becomes more than just ball sports. “We concentrate on all development of skills, both gross and fine motor skills building, as well as providing outlets that are both leisure and fun,” he said. “Creating events for a diverse group of people is also very important.” The Booneville native is on the right track after partnering with Region IV Mental Health and Nfusion for the Reconnect 4 Autism Color Run 5K held in April. More than 1,000 people registered for the run held on the park’s walking trail in the event’s first year. “The color run was a great event,” he said. “I hope it becomes something we can continue to partner and do every year.” Holloway also hopes the future holds more opportunities for his department to partner with area organizations to host other family friendly events at the park. “It’s all about teamwork and working toward a common goal,” he said. The director was excited to hear the recent news

concerning the future of the Sportplex. “Another example of how we all should work together. There’s plenty of room in this city for both facilities,” he said. “I want to position us so that we can help each other if needed.” Holloway has met with Dr. Pat Tucker, who plans to reopen the Sportsplex as a new non-profit youth sports ministry known as 101. “I mentioned to him as long as I’m here I will do anything needed to help them succeed,” said Holloway. The director also wants to soon offer events and activities for seniors and the physically and mentally disabled. He also plans to focus creating events and workshops for the local tennis community. “I would love if one day this department could offer more learning opportunities, like computer classes or foreign language classes,” Holloway added. “One of these days I hope we can be a well rounded department and be able to offer all different aspects of sports, family leisure and learn-

ing opportunities. It’s all about promoting and living a healthy lifestyle.” The day may come sooner than later as a major park expansion is set to begin next month. Even though the $5.1 million project doesn’t include new classroom space, it does include five new ballfields, soccer fields, improvements to the tennis courts, a new playground and sand volleyball courts. Holloway said folks will also begin noticing other improvements being made to structures around the park, which will be on-going. “We’ve already made some field enhancements as well as structure improvements,” he said. The department also recently released a new logo, and are currently working to improvement the department’s website with on-line registration. As for Holloway’s family, they have also settled into the Crossroads area with ease. They recently purchased a new home in Corinth. The director’s wife, Rochelle, is a nurse at Magnolia Regional Health

Center and their youngest child, Ryvers, is a 11 year old middle schooler at Corinth. “Ryvers is the boss,” Holloway joked. “I think she knows more about parks and rec then I do, as well as my other children. They’ve all grown up in this profession and are my biggest critics.” The Holloway’s have three other children. Austin graduated from Booneville High School last week, Trey recently moved back home after graduating the National Aviation Academy in Clearwater, Fla., and Meagan owns her own business in Fulton. Holloway is quick to admit he’s home. “I’m definitely not planning on moving again,” he said. “This is my home and I’m very fortunate to be able to come back to where it all began. Being around family and people you grew up with is very refreshing and something I’ve learned to greatly appreciate throughout my career.” “I’ve learned a lot throughout my career, and I just hope I can help Corinth and Alcorn County move forward,” Holloway added.

Our View

Memorial Day: A time for remembrance For many of us, the Memorial Day weekend is a time for celebration. It’s the kickoff for the summer season in the Crossroads area, with family get-togethers, barbecues, picnics and first trips to the lake to take the boat out. To put the holiday in the context as it was first created, Post 6 American Legion Commander Tommy Watson said it best. “We don’t celebrate Memorial Day. It’s a day of remembering those who died while serving,” he said. Well played, Watson. Let us remember this Memorial Day the many who gave of their lives so we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. Walk away from the time of celebration and give some time of remembrance for fallen veterans. We are fortunate in this area to have two Memorial Day weekend ceremonies. The American Legion hosts a Memorial Day program ever year the Sunday before Memorial Day inside Corinth National Cemetery. Today’s 2 p.m. service will feature Ray Bennett as guest speaker. Bennett was an infant when his father was killed in World War II and he never got to meet his father. The U.S. Veterans and Family Honors, VFW and the Military Order of the Purple Heart Post Chapter 813 are also expected to take part in today’s service, in addition to the hosts, American Legion Post 6 and American Legion Post 6 Ladies Auxiliary. Shiloh National Military Park hosts two services every Memorial Day. The first ceremony is set for 11 a.m. in Shiloh National Cemetery. The traditional observance will include the keynote address by three fourth grade students representing Alcorn, McNairy and Hardin counties who won a “What Memorial Day Means to Me” essay contest. A second memorial service Monday will be held at the largest of the Confederate mass burial sites to recognize the military service of soldiers engaged in the Battle of Shiloh following the cemetery service. The location of this ceremony will be adjacent to park auto tour stop #13 with services beginning 30 minutes following the conclusion of the cemetery service. We encourage everyone to attend one or both of these ceremonies to show your appreciation and honor those in the military who died while serving their country. Daily Corinthian

Prayer for today My Lord, my life makes me conscious of weakness, and my memory brings regret; forgive me for the lost strength I neglected to develop. In thy compassion encourage me to be more watchful of my power, that I may usefully increase it, and not willfully deplete it. May I learn the need of constancy in welldoing. Amen.

Book offers honest look at ‘senator’s senator’ STARKVILLE — In writing a biography of the late U.S. Sen. John C. Stennis, Don H. Thompson – who holds a doctoral degree in forestry from Mississippi State University – did not attempt to produce an exhaustive, comprehensive, three-inch thick account of the life of one of Mississippi’s most fascinating public servants. No, this profoundly readable book is not T. Harry Williams’ treatment of Louisiana’s Huey Long. Yet despite the fact that the book “Stennis: Plowing a Straight Furrow”(Triton Press, 169 pages, $35) is relatively brief, Thompson’s history is well-researched, sound and honest – and Thompson presents the story of the remarkable journey that Stennis lived in an accessible and approachable way. Many writers have talked around the edges of a “serious” biography of Stennis, but only Thompson – the Tishomingo County forester – did the work. I recommend Thompson’s book to serious historians and to armchair students of Mississippi politics alike. It’s a good read. In 1919, Stennis left DeKalb on a train bound for the campus of Mississippi State University (then Mississippi A&M) and stepped

of nature. Cochran’s stellar career in the modern era is the closest comparison. In his first Senate campaign in 1947, Stennis defeated three sitting congressmen to take the Senate seat vacated by Theodore Bilbo. Many who knew Stennis well believed that Bilbo in a perverse sort of way had much to do with Stennis’ absolute commitment to personal integrity and to serving as a “Senator’s senator” in that body. The stench of Bilbo’s corrupt, profane and racist tenure in the U.S. Senate was an embarrassment to Stennis, who valued decorum and fair play above all else. He seemed determined to make a different impression on his Senate colleagues and he did. For 42 years, he set a new kind of example for Mississippi in the nation’s capital. The Stennis legacy is substantial and includes the Stennis Space Center on the Gulf Coast, the USS John C. Stennis aircraft carrier, the Raytheon defense plant in Forest, Northrop Grumman in Pascagoula, the Meridian Naval Air Station, Columbus Air Force Base, the Stennis Institute of Government, the Stennis Center for Public Service, the Stennis Scholarship in Political

Science, hurricane relief after the Gulf Coast was slammed by Hurricane Camille, and the list goes on. His personal trials were many. In his lifetime, Stennis battled cancer, a robber’s bullets, heart disease and the sacrifice of time with his family. His voice was a distinctive echo from a bygone era in Mississippi – with a Southern drawl as deep and courtly and melodious as the chimes of an old church. Thompson captures that important history and illuminates it. To be fair, Thompson also resists the temptation to ignore or soften what a fair account of history would conclude were shortcomings on the senator’s part on the issues of race and civil rights. Yet like the rest of the book, those necessary facts are presented in context and without sensationalism. Another more nuanced and historically critical biography of Sen. Stennis may one day emerge, but until that book is written, Don Thompson’s biography will certainly serve as a reliable milestone for future Stennis scholars.

Huckabee can beat Hillary BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN

Stennis Sid Salter logged 60 years of conColumnist tinuous public service in Mississippi as a state legislator, district attorney, circuit judge, and later served 42 years as a U.S. senator. He remains the gold standard in Mississippi politics in terms of integrity, dedication to duty and service to his constituents. As chairman of the Senate’s powerful Armed Forces and Appropriations committees, as a confidant of eight presidents and as the man literally known as “the conscience of the U.S. Senate,” Stennis had a greater impact on the daily lives of Mississippians during his Senate career than any other Mississippi political figure in the last century. That statement doesn’t ignore or belittle the significant contributions of Pat Harrison, Jim Eastland, Jamie Whitten, Sonny Montgomery, Thad Cochran, Trent Lott, Roger Wicker and others who wielded power on Capitol Hill from Mississippi. But in his era, Stennis was simply a force

I was there in 1993 when Mike Huckabee beat the vaunted Clinton machine in their Arkansas backyard, even as the president pulled all the strings he could to defeat the Republican’s upstart bid for lieutenant governor. Those who, today, question his ability to match up with Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail should examine the record of that race to see how well Huckabee ran. The fundamental element in Bill Clinton’s rise to power, and his continued hold on it in the ‘80s and ‘90s, was his style of political campaigning. While most candidates take their time in responding to attacks and only gradually realize that opposition charges are scoring, Bill and Hillary virtually invented the hair-trigger reaction time in modern television campaigns. When attacked, they lashed back with negative counterpunches and complete rebuttals. Nobody else was able to equal their speed or audacity in winning the give and take of paid political advertising dialogue. Neither the right-wing of the

The only campaign that beat Clinton was the 1993 effort to overturn the state’s Democratic establishment and elect Mike Huckabee as the first statewide Republican elected official since Reconstruction. And he did it by beating the Clintons at their own game. Each time he was attacked, he lashed back, combining his patented humor with his familiar tone of moral righteousness. The final exchange in that heated race came in the last week when, true to the Clinton playbook, Huckabee’s Democratic opponent attacked his wife Janet’s role in the campaign. While the state was rocked by the charge, Mike kept his cool and was on TV the next day with an ad that instruct-

ed his hapless opponent to “attack me, not my wife.” By making the issue about family, he defused the charge and went on to pull off a narrow victory. Huckabee, of course, has a problem. His strength among religious voters can be his ticket of admission to the final rounds of the campaign but can also bar him from winning, just as it did when he took on John McCain in 2008, only winning southern bible belt states. He needs to run as a former governor, not as a former Baptist preacher. He must articulate his points in a secular language, equally accessible to voters of all different types and degrees of religious faith. When he says that the Supreme Court cannot overrule God, he scores points for snappy rhetoric but undermines his ability to have a nonreligious appeal. Better to have spoken about how the Court cannot change cultural norms or individual values than to have invoked a theological theme. Of course, Huckabee could abjure all religious faith and the news media would still write about him primar-

ily in evangelical terms. His record as governor should provide more than enough credential to run without looking back more than 20 years at his sermons and homilies. But such is the media – once labeled, it is very hard to shake that image. What Huckabee seems determined to do is to explore the fissure in the GOP between the country clubs and corporations on one hand and small independent businesses on the other. With the GOP establishment falling all over itself to give President Obama vast new powers over trade deals, it will fall to Huckabee to ask if they are good for American workers. But, if Huckabee evolves as a candidate – he has always been a fast learner – he alone in the field has had the kind of give-and-take experience in battling the Clinton media machine. It should pay off. (Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill.

Ohio patrolman acquitted in deaths CLEVELAND (AP) — A white Cleveland patrolman who fired down through the windshield of a suspect’s car at the end of a 137-shot barrage that left the two unarmed black occupants dead was acquitted Saturday of criminal charges by a judge who said he could not determine the officer alone fired the fatal shots. Michael Brelo, 31, put his head in hands as the judge issued a verdict followed by angry, but peaceful, protests: Outside the courthouse police blocked furious protesters from going inside while across the city others held a mock funeral with some carrying signs asking, “Will I be next?” The acquittal came at a time of nationwide tension among police and black citizens punctuated by protests over deaths of black suspects at the hands of white officers — and following a determination by the U.S. Department of Justice that Cleveland police had a history of using excessive force and violating civil rights. Before issuing his verdict, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge John P. O’Donnell reflected on the unrest.

Presidential debate frustrates veterans Veterans of the Iraq War have been watching in frustration as Republican presidential contenders distance themselves from the de-

cision their party enthusiastically supported to invade that country. Some veterans say they long ago concluded their sacrifice was in vain, and are annoyed that a party that lobbied so hard for the war is now running from it. Others say they still believe their mission was vital, regardless of what the politicians say. And some find the gotcha question being posed to the politicians — Knowing what we know now, would you have invaded? — an insult in itself. “Do-overs don’t happen in real life,” said Gregory Diacogiannis, 30, who served as an army sniper in Baghdad trying to spot militants laying roadside bombs and chased high-value targets in the city of Baqouba. “I have trouble with the question itself just because it lends itself to disregarding the sacrifices that have been made.” Diacogiannis left the army in 2008, but says even now he feels such a strong attachment to Iraq that he’s thought about going back to fight as the country has plunged into chaos since U.S. troops left.

Pence passes up presidential bid INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence’s decision not to fulfill the political buzz and chase White House dreams in 2016 doesn’t necessarily clear up questions about his future. Pence plans to formally announce his bid for a second gubernatorial term next month.

But lingering unhappiness over the handling of a religious objections law this spring which critics viewed as anti-gay and businesses spoke out against in force could make him the first sitting governor to face a serious primary challenge since the state adopted the system in the 1970s. Two wealthy Republican businessmen are already talking about launching or supporting challenges to Pence. If they follow through, the race could expose the depth of GOP turmoil caused by this year’s debates over similar religious initiatives in states such as Indiana, Arkansas and Louisiana.

NSA winds down collection program WASHINGTON — The National Security Agency has begun winding down its collection and storage of American phone records after the Senate failed to agree on a path forward to change or extend the once-secret program ahead of its expiration at the end of the month. Barring an 11th hour compromise when the Senate returns to session May 31, a muchdebated provision of the Patriot Act — and some other lesser known surveillance tools — will sunset at midnight that day. The change also would have a major impact on the FBI, which uses the Patriot Act and the other provisions to gather records in investigations of suspected spies and terrorists.

Multiple-murder suspect shot dead KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A man accused of holding his former girlfriend captive in a crate at their home in western Missouri then fatally shooting her and her teenage son, was shot and killed Saturday, authorities said. Law enforcement officers killed James Barton Horn Jr., 47, at a state wildlife area in western Missouri, south of Knob Noster, Henry County Sheriff Kent Oberkrom said. Authorities have been searching for Horn since late April when he was charged in the kidnapping of 46-year-old Sandra Kay Sutton. Prosecutors said Sutton told police that Horn kept her in a wooden crate off-and-on for four months at their home in Sedalia, some 90 miles southeast of Kansas City, Missouri. Sutton and her 17-yearold son, Zachary Wade Sutton, were found dead Thursday at a relative’s home in Clinton, about 45 miles from Sedalia. Police said the victims had been shot to death. Sutton moved in with her relatives after she escaped the home she had shared with Horn. Oberkrom said officers found Horn hiding in a closet in a building at the J. N. Turkey Kearn Memorial Wildlife Area, about 70 miles southeast of Kansas City. He said officers were led to the area by a tip they received Saturday morning. When officers told him to surrender, Horn threatened the officers with a

weapon, Oberkrom said. He did not know what kind of weapon Horn had. Records also show he pleaded guilty in 1997 in Mississippi to unlawfully kidnapping and abducting his estranged wife. He was sentenced in that case to 12 years and 11 months in prison, plus five years supervised release. He was released from custody in December 2011, and his probation jurisdiction was transferred in 2012 to Missouri, according to online court records. He was still under federal supervision when he was charged with kidnapping Sutton, said Chad Lamar, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi.

Homecoming honors memory of King JACKSON — Hundreds of music fans are expected to let the good times roll today at the 35th annual B.B. King Homecoming Festival, a free gathering that the legendary bluesman started in his hometown of Indianola, Mississippi. Performers this year include a country blues band called the North Mississippi Allstars; a Bentonia, Mississippi, blues guitarist and singer, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes; and a children’s choir based at the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in Indianola. King played at the free festival dozens of times. He drew a larger than usual crowd in 2014, which was already billed

as the final homecoming performance for the King of the Blues, who was 88 at the time.

Hospital whistleblower gets settlement JACKSON — A former employee of a Mississippi hospital is getting almost $3.5 million as part of a string of settlements where 18 hospitals in seven states have agreed to pay $20.4 million over allegations they broke federal law by receiving Medicare reimbursements for psychiatric services that were not “medically reasonable or necessary.” Ryan Ladner worked for Allegiance Health Management at what’s now Merit Health Wesley in Hattiesburg when his lawyer says Ladner saw illegal billing. As the person who brought the fraud to the attention of the federal government, Ladner is getting 17 percent of the settlement amounts. None of the hospitals admit liability in their settlements. However, LifePoint Hospitals selfreported the practices to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in 2011. Settlement documents indicate Ladner has been pursuing a whistleblower lawsuit in federal court in Arkansas since 2010 against Allegiance, which is based in Shreveport, La. The case remains under seal, though. Whistleblower actions under the False Claims Act are filed under seal with the private plaintiff seeking to recover money on behalf of the federal government.

them, helped lead the Pledge of Allegiance and in laying a ceremonial wreath on the grave of the Unknown Soldier. “It was our kickoff event for ‘Find Your Park’ and a way to connect young people to the park,” said Wilkerson. Wilkerson said a large living history day – similar to the one done in 2012 – is also part of plans for April of 2016. The living history event will be held a weekend prior to the anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh. The park is also looking into bringing back Grand Illumination to go along with the anniversary of the Battle of Corinth. “Over the next 18 months we are

thinking we can find 100 volunteers who are willing to help us bring it back,” said Wilkerson. “Our goal is to make fresh again.” Wilkerson also mentioned starting a “Concert in the Park” next summer. “It’s in the dreaming stage right now,” he said. “We still have a year to plan everything out.” The superintendent knows 2016 will be a busy year for the national park. “We are hoping to get everything done, but if we get just some of it done it will be good,” he said. “We are really excited about 2016 and getting the word out on all we have planned.” “Find Your Park” is the combined effort of the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation.

The two have combined to produce programs, events and activities which will drive broad awareness, deepen engagement and increase support for America’s national parks, the work of the National Park Service, and its partners, said the NPS in announcing the campaign in March of 2014. In addition to making all 401 national parks go-to destinations, the campaign will highlight the historic preservation and outdoor recreation work the National Park Service does with communities across the country and the value it brings to Americans every day. “Our goal is to get people to come to parks, then figure out what they like,” said Wilkerson. “Once we connect with them, then we can get them to the next stage of support.”

King memorial draws more cheers than tears Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — B.B. King drew a 45-second standing ovation amid reflections and remembrances about his life and legacy at a memorial for more than 350 family and friends in Las Vegas. Eight of the blues legend’s 11 adult children and more than 10 of his 35 grandchildren spoke during an intimate twohour Saturday service marked more by laughter than sadness.

Tasso Cemetery in Cleveland, Tenn. The family will receive friends at the funeral home from 1:30 until service time. Mr. Wyatt passed away May 20, 2015 in a Chattanooga hospital. He worked over 50 years in radio and broadcasting. He had one of the greatest radio voices of anyone. He worked in Corinth, Tupelo, Birmingham, Huntsville, Memphis, Cleveland, Chattanooga and Dayton. He was a lifelong lover of horses and enjoyed going to horse shows all over. He loved his music and had a passion for life. He was a loving husband, father and a great friend. Survivors include his loving wife, Lynn Frye Wyatt of Riceville, Tenn.; children, Nick Wyatt of Corinth, Marge Wyatt Droke (Bill) of Corinth and Hank Wyatt (Stacey) of Hendersonville, Tenn.; grandchildren, John Droke of Corinth, Daniel Wyatt, Nash Wyatt, and Abby Wyatt of Hendersonville, Tenn.; one brother, Henry Wyatt (Roxie) of Cleveland, Tenn.; one nephew, Henry Wyatt II; and three nieces, Jane Wyatt, Emily Hartman and Ann Harrison.

As granddaughter Landra Williams said, to everyone else King was a legend. To his family, he was love. Rock guitarists Carlos Santana and Richie Sambora attended. But it was King’s onstage drummer for 37 years, Tony Coleman, who provided a beat for the day. He promised to go on playing blues with class, dignity and humanity — just like B.B. King taught him to do.

ald McDonald and stop marketing to children. But Easterbrook defended the company’s use of the red-headed clown, who he noted recently got a new outfit that makes him feel “trendier.� “With regards to Ronald, Ronald’s here to stay,� Easterbrook said. Shareholders also approved a proposal to give investors access to the director nomination process. The UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust, which filed the proposal, had said the costs to put forward nominees for board seats could be “prohibitive� under the current system. Institutional Investor Services and Glass Lewis, two proxy advisory firms, had backed the proposal. McDonald’s had opposed the proposal, which it said could enable shareholders with “special interests� to nominate directors and “introduce a potentially expensive and destabilizing dynamic� into its board election process. Becca Hary, a McDonald’s spokeswoman, said the company would evaluate the advisory vote “and the board will consider it to determine what’s appropriate.�

all stores. Labor organizers and workers have dismissed the move on pay in part because they say it leaves so many workers out in the cold. The vast majority of the more than 14,300 McDonald’s restaurants in the U.S. are owned by franchisees. McDonald’s has stood by its position that it doesn’t control pay decisions at franchised locations. During the meeting, the company got support from at least one shareholder, who said that actress Sharon Stone and Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos were among those who have worked at McDonald’s. If the chain paid $15, he said, those people would still be working at McDonald’s. Members of Corporate Accountability, a regular critic of McDonald’s marketing practices, also repeated their request that the company retire Ron-

NEW YORK — McDonald’s CEO Steve Easterbrook said Thursday he was “incredibly proud� of a decision to bump pay for some workers, even after protesters called on the company to do more outside its annual shareholder meeting. Easterbrook, who stepped into his role in March, is fighting to revive sluggish sales and convince people that McDonald’s is a “modern, progressive burger company.� But the push

comes at a time when protests for pay of $15 an hour and a union have been spreading around the country. Hundreds of protesters turned out in Oak Brook, Illinois on Wednesday and Thursday before the company’s meeting. McDonald’s had said in April that it would raise pay for workers at company-owned stores to at least $1 above the local minimum wage and let them earn paid time off. It will also offer up to $700 in college tuition help to eligible workers at

Pause a moment to remember those who died for our country DEAR ABBY: “Lest we forget” -- these three simple, but very meaningful words are a reminder TO ALWAYS REMEMBER the sacrifices made for our freedom. I recently read about a Vietnam veteran who will never forget Memorial Day in 1970. He was wounded in the jungles on that Abigail day, fightfor his Van Buren ing life with his comrades. Dear Abby Almost his entire company had been wounded or killed during an early morning attack by the North Vietnamese army. Although he was the first wounded, the first to die were soldiers on either side of him. Not a Memorial Day goes by without him hearing from his remaining comrades. They, too, have never forgotten that deadly attack because they experienced the holiday’s true meaning. A patriotic organization, No Greater Love (ngl.org), initiated the National Moment of Remembrance established by Congress in 2000. At 3 p.m. on Memorial Day, Americans are

asked to pause wherever they are to honor those who have died for our freedom throughout history. For more than 40 years, the AFL-CIO, North America’s Building Trades Unions, Ironworkers, Fire Fighters and the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers — in union with No Greater Love — have honored our fallen, our troops, our veterans and their families, and have participated in the National Moment of Remembrance. And Major League Baseball games will also observe the Moment. This is a moment of love -- a love for those we honor and their families and a love of God and country. Let us never forget. Remember to pause and say a prayer at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day. — CARMELLA LaSPADA, FOUNDER, NO GREATER LOVE DEAR CARMELLA: Thank you for the timely reminder. Readers, tomorrow is Memorial Day. I know many of you will be busy with barbecues at the park, swimming and sunning at the beach, shopping in the malls, or watching baseball in person or on television. But please, folks, take a moment and join me in participating in the Moment of Remembrance

at 3 p.m. because that’s what this holiday is really all about. DEAR ABBY: I am tired and disgusted hearing our friends brag about their travels to Alaska, Italy, Hawaii, etc., while my husband and I are financially and medically unable to do such things. One of my longtime “friends” is actually taking a friend of hers to London, all expenses paid. This is hard for me to swallow. How can I remove myself from this kind of talk and still maintain friendships? — ON THE GROUND IN OREGON DEAR ON THE GROUND: I can think of two ways. The first would be to tell your closest longtime friends that you would prefer not hearing about their adventures because, considering your circumstances, it is depressing. The other would be to discuss with your husband and your doctor the feasibility of planning an inexpensive getaway to someplace nearby so you won’t feel so left out. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Are happy endings overrated? Logical beginnings and middles have been known to happen, but not in the more celebrated stories. Embrace the haphazard qualities of the day. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In the gem-polishing business, friction is the answer. Character-polishing is the same. It’s the moments that don’t work easily, that push you up against something, that will make you shine. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When they say, “You’re so lucky,” you might agree. But internally, you know it’s not luck. It’s acting sensibly, seizing the opportunities that come when you’re doing the work. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some people think communication means everyone agreeing with everyone. That’s not communication; it’s complacency. Tonight, you’ll be holding a candle to lead people to the light. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The

things people say out of grief are usually quite true, and yet they are the murkier, darker parts of truth that may not be applicable in the light of a good day. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Persistence teaches you who you are. You wouldn’t know persistence unless you encountered the kind of obstacles (which mostly come in the form of the word “no”) you’ll meet today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In order to appreciate what you learn, you sometimes have to arrange what you already know -- put it all in a pleasing position in your mind. This framing may take hours, but it will be worth the effort. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Listening to the music without the words or looking at the picture without context -- it just doesn’t work for you. Language and graphics go together pleasingly, tying up a happy bow in

your psyche. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you don’t know what to do, tell the truth. Good, bad or ugly, that’s what will get everyone to the heart of the matter, and in the end, it’s what’s right and best for all. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Try to rise above the marginal advice and lame attempts at guidance. It’s not a matter of winning or losing now. You need to succeed by doing what’s necessary to get there. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll apply yourself and come up with a very sound way of dealing with dilemmas. Even though it might not feel like it, you’re lucky to have these kinds of quality problems. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Who puts a smile on your face? That’s the one you want to be around more often. People who make you happy should not be underestimated in the scheme of your life.

AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA — Jace Peterson was much more decisive on his first-pitch swing in the 11th inning than trying to determine if that hit was the highlight of his rookie season. Peterson’s single to left field drove in Alberto Callaspo from third base, lifting the Atlanta Braves to a 3-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in 11 innings on Saturday. Peterson hit the first pitch from Brandon Kintzler (0-1) toward the gap in left-center field. Left fielder Ryan Braun and center fielder Carlo Gomez didn’t bother to field the ball as Callaspo scored. Braves players swarmed Peterson near second base.

“It was great,” said Peterson, who said teammates covered him with dirt and water. “Probably one of the most fun times I’ve ever had playing baseball. It was awesome.” Exactly one week earlier, Peterson’s first career homer was a grand slam off Mat Latos that powered the Braves to a 5-3 win over Miami. Peterson couldn’t say if either was his favorite highlight. “First home run, first walkoff, they’re both awesome,” Peterson said. Peterson had two hits and the Braves improved to 7-2 when the second baseman hits leadoff. With one out in the 11th, Kintzler walked Callaspo. Andrelton Simmons’ sharply

hit grounder hit third-base umpire Chad Fairchild and bounced into left field instead of heading toward the left-field corner. Runners advanced to second and third on pinch-hitter Eric Young Jr.’s grounder to Kintzler. Kintzler’s first pitch to Peterson ended the game. “I don’t know how low it was but he went down and got it,” Kintzler said. Luis Avilan (2-0) pitched the last 11⁄3 innings for Atlanta, including getting a double-play with runners at first and third to end the 10th. Atlanta’s Shelby Miller and Milwaukee’s Mike Fiers each allowed two runs and seven hits. The Braves scored two runs in the fifth on doubles by

Miller, Cameron Maybin and Freddie Freeman. Gomez doubled to lead off the game and scored on Braun’s single. Martin Maldonado’s single drove in Aramis Ramirez in the fourth. Milwaukee blew a scoring chance in the ninth. Jason Grilli gave a two-out walk to pinch-hitter Jason Rogers. Luis Sardinas singled to right field but was thrown out at first. Simmons took the cutoff throw from Markakis toward third base and quickly threw to first base, where Freeman applied the tag as Sardinas slid back too late. “It’s a great play from Simmons,” said Brewers manager Craig Counsell. “I think it’s a play you learn a lot of lessons on.”

Questions of safety linger over Indy 500 BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — They call the Indianapolis 500 “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” for its high speeds, rich history, enormous crowd and the take-your-breath-away competition. This year, IndyCar is hoping the 99th running of the event won’t be a spectacle because of a serious on-track incident. Concern hangs over Indianapolis Motor Speedway after the cars of Helio Castroneves, Josef Newgarden and Ed Carpenter all went airborne during practice sessions in the 10 days leading up to today’s

race. All three drivers walked away unscathed, but IndyCar officials scrambled on qualifying day for a solution. All three drivers were driving Chevrolets, and the manufacturer worked with the series on adjustments to the bodywork of the cars, plus a reduction in horsepower before qualifying. One day later, James Hinchcliffe suffered a lifethreatening injury when he slammed into the turn three wall at more than 220 mph and a broken piece of his suspension pierced his left thigh. Hinchcliffe’s accident was unrelated to the three cars that

had gone airborne, but one of IndyCar’s most popular drivers was rushed into surgery in critical condition and will miss Sunday’s race. The four wrecks have many wondering if today will see a safe race. “This will never be a safe race — it’s an open wheel car going 230 mph over three and a half hours trying to win,” said Rahal Lanigan Letterman Racing driver Oriol Servia. “Safe is not really what defines it. It will never be. But I think it could be safer than what we’ll do Sunday.” IndyCar officials aren’t certain what caused the three

cars to lift off the track following mild crashes. Although some wanted to point to the new body kits Chevy and Honda are allowed to use this season, most drivers doubted the manufacturers were to blame. And some have even grumbled that the wrecks cast an unfair pall over the race and created an unnecessary hysteria. “I just think we need to be careful not to lose our heritage and the roots of what we do,” said KV Racing driver Sebastien Bourdais, who praised Please see INDY | 11A

Gordon not ready for sentiment at Coca-Cola 600 BY PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer

CONCORD, N.C. — Sentimentality can wait. Jeff Gordon is not ready to focus on life after racing as his farewell tour arrives at the longest event on the NASCAR schedule. Gordon, in what’s become a weekly line of questioning, was asked for his emotions running his last CocaCola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway tonight. “I think if this were my final race ever, it’d be different,” the four-time Sprint Cup champion said. “But I have a whole season ahead of me and that’s not where my mindset is at right now.” For Gordon, the task is finding enough speed to compete at one of his favorite tracks. He will start 18th, well back in the pack behind pole sitter

Matt Kenseth. Gordon has won five times here, including three CocaCola 600s in a five-year span with victories in 1994, 1997 and 1998. He last win came in Charlotte’s fall race eight years ago and he’d love to wind up with one more checkered flag. “A part of me wishes it was” Gordon’s final race, he said, “because this is a very special race and moment for me and I’m looking forward to that.” Gordon, who turns 44 in August, removed some of the mystery about his future with Thursday’s announcement that he’d join the Fox Sports broadcast booth next season calling races for NASCAR’s Xfinity Series. TV has long been in the back of his post-racing plans and he has grown more comfortable, he says, with the

three Xfinity events he called this season. Still, Gordon expects some very sharp tugs at his heart next February when it’s time to go racing at the Daytona 500 and he is not lined up. Other things to watch in Sunday’s race: JGR Weekend Joe Gibbs Racing got Charlotte’s two weeks of racing off to a strong start when Denny Hamlin won the All-Star Race last Saturday. On Thursday night, Matt Kenseth won the pole for the Coca-Cola 600 and led three JGR racers in the top five. Carl Edwards starts third and Hamlin is fifth. Harvick’s Chances Kevin Harvick’s season combined with how well he races at Charlotte could lead to his third Coca-Cola 600 victory since 2011. Harvick

has finished first or second in eight races this year. He has also ended in the top 10 in eight of his past nine races here. “This is an important race as far as ones that you circle on the calendar,” he said. “The Coke 600 is definitely one of those that you want to win.” Roush Fenway Hope Greg Biffle qualified fourth to give struggling Roush Fenway Racing its best starting position of the season. Biffle had the previous best of seventh at Kansas two weeks back and sees his latest run as progress. But there’s a big difference between a fast lap and competing for a win after 600 miles. “We’re struggling a bit right now, so we’re just going to have to work hard in practice and see what we can do,” he said.

the safety efforts as long as it didn’t destroy “the purpose and the reason of why we do things we do and how we do it.” “People make mistakes, whether it is human mistakes, mechanical mistakes, it is part of what we do,” he said. “That needs to be respected because when you travel at the speeds we travel, things can go bad. When it goes bad, it shouldn’t be, ‘Oh my God, what just happened?’ What happened is what we do is dangerous.” That sentiment is shared by most in Sunday’s field. Race car drivers have always accepted that danger, death and disability are part of the profession, and most are able to overlook it when they pull on their helmet and climb into the car. Asked if he’s expecting

a “safe race” on Sunday, pole-sitter Scott Dixon was candid. “I hope so, that’s all you can do,” said the driver from New Zealand. “We’ve always been at these speeds, or close to them, and accidents are going to happen. You just hope everyone will be safe.” The only thing Dixon was certain of for Sunday is that the race should be a thriller for drivers and fans. The last few faces have all featured gripping battles for the checkered flag. Even after the wrecks and Hinchcliffe’s hospitalization, the drivers staged a pair of intense practice sessions that featured slicing and dicing and multiple lead changes. “I think everybody will be on the edge of their seats,” Dixon said. “The race will be very good.”

Johnson turns old license plates into useable items BY LEAH GIBSON For the Daily Corinthian

Most people don’t expect to start a business by stumbling over old junk in the garage. Handyman Rentals owner Paul Johnson thought the same thing, until he realized he was in need of a dustpan. He needed to pick up some trash after cleaning his garage about four years ago. He spotted an old discarded license plate and decided to use it to gather the rubbish. After the license tag served as a pretty durable cleaning accessory, he got an idea. “I just had a car tag lying around and I just used it, since it was flat, to sweep my dust on,” said Johnson. “It dawned on me that I ought to make a dustpan out of that car tag and just leave it in the garage.” “I started tinkering with the dustpan, and tried to make a handle for it,” said Johnson. He liked the result. “Then, I tried to think of other ideas to use the car tags.” Johnson’s accidental discovery turned into a profitable little hobby. Now he makes dustpans, birdhouses, mailboxes, and key chains out of discarded license tags, selling them at the Artist Guild Gallery in downtown Corinth. He uses Ole Miss tags, Mississippi State tags, Tennessee tags, Alabama tags. If you have a team tag, he will make it into something. Who knows what he will make next? “The birdhouses just came to mind,” said Johnson. “I just started cutting out trial and error. I’d make a cardboard pattern and I’d fold them and try to see if it would work.” It only took him two tries to decide which cardboard pattern he would use. He drew it out himself and traces each birdhouse with a Sharpie before the cutting stage. Through his trial and error, Johnson found that it was easier to use wood for the bottom of the birdhouse. It was sturdier than the license plate bottom that he tried at first. He hopes the birds appreciate it. Johnson has been making things with his hands all his life. It helps that he learned the art of welding at Northeast Mississippi Community College. “I knew that would be something I could use in connection with this business,” said Johnson, referring to family business Handyman Rentals. “I use it daily because there is always something tearing up that needs welding, but I just enjoy working with metal and working with my hands and trying to come up with something new and different.” Born and reared in Corinth, Johnson has worked at Handyman

Rentals most of his life. He found out he would be taking over the business at the tender age of 18, and that is when he headed off to Northeast to learn welding. Two years later, at age 20, Debbie and Paul got married and took over the family business for good. His license plate art has become popular, according to Nelson Wall, a volunteer at the gallery. “A lot of people come in for them, especially around Christmas time. They use them for gifts,” he said. Johnson’s dustpans and other items sit right in the front window and fill up several display shelves inside. But don’t think Johnson is getting rich off of his accidental hobby. He gives more away than he offers to sell. He enjoys it. He also enjoys all that time he spends in the garage working with metal. “That’s my therapy,” he said. “I just like to get out there by myself and work.” While he shears metal, he jams to ’70s music on the radio. His preference? Chicago and James Taylor. “My wife and I try to go to concerts every now and then,” said Johnson. He laughs as he explains how important it is that they go to a concert whenever they can because the artists are getting older. He and his wife traveled to Atlanta in February to see Billy Joel in concert. They saw Chicago in concert on April 26 in Huntsville, Ala. When asked if anyone else is allowed into the garage to help, he hurriedly replied: “Oh no! I don’t think I’d let them. I mean, they wouldn’t really know what to do.” Johnson has gotten efficient at what he does. It takes him three license plates to make a birdhouse and only one and one third of a license plate to make a dustpan. On average, it takes him about an hour to make at least three license plates. He now uses a metal hole punch, instead of a drill, and a shear to cut the plates instead of using scissors. For a while, people would donate tags or he would use school signs. Recently, his brother, Jim, made a deal with Larry Ross, the tax collector. When the old plates were headed to the junk yard, Jim was right behind them. “The other design had the lighthouse. The state has to destroy the plates and they have to sell them for scrap. So, Jim made a deal with Mr. Larry to meet him down at the scrap yard to weigh that year’s tags that they were going to destroy,” Johnson said. He bought the tags. And the tossed tags soon began to grace the yards and

They’re a natural for outside decoration. But he said a lot of people keep them inside as a conversation piece. “I have hundreds of tags in boxes at the house now,” said Johnson. “The tags also had to be destroyed and not reusable for license plates. So you can tell,” he said, pointing at a dustpan, “they aren’t reusable now.” Have any of his brainstorms ever blown up in his face? He can remember a coin bank that never really worked out. “I just never could get the design like I wanted it,” said Johnson. “But that’s something for the future. I just thought it was going to be a lot easier to do.” He isn’t eager for his little business to become any bigger. “It might become a

stress producer instead of a stress reliever,” said Johnson. “I just want to enjoy what I do and work out all of my frustrations, especially in the winter.” There was a time when he thought he was the only one with such a grand idea. “I thought, wow! I’ve come up with something,” said Johnson. “Then I looked on the Internet and there I saw other people making the same things.” He tries to add a few details to make his designs unique. “My design is different,” said Johnson. “I had never seen anything quite like the way I do it. Usually they are different shapes where I try to maximize my plates so I won’t have much waste. That’s just the way I think.” (Leah Gibson is a journalism student at the University of Mississippi. She compiled this story as part of a class assignment.)

New book tells story of Abraham Lincoln and his dog BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“Abe & Fido” by Matthew Algeo, c.2015, Chicago Review Press $22.95 / $27.95 Canada 166 pages To no one’s surprise, it happened again: another celebrity spilled a “secret.” Maybe it happened as a need for publicity. Perhaps it was a cry for attention or a heavy burden released. It might’ve been just the knowledge that confession is good for the soul as well as for the wallet. Or maybe, says Matthew Algeo in his new book “Abe & Fido,” it was secret only to history. Five years before he would be elected the 16th president of the

United States, Abraham Lincoln considered himself a failure: earlier in 1855, he lost a bid for a seat in the U.S. Senate by just six votes, a loss that put him into a deep funk. That summer, perhaps as a mood-lifter, he adopted a dog he named Fido. “Lincoln,” says Algeo, “did not buy the dog.” Most likely, Fido was a stray, a “tramp” puppy or, as Lincoln called him, a “yaller dog” of mixed descent like so many canines of his time. Lincoln’s sons were overjoyed at the new family addition; Mary Lincoln was not. Though Lincoln often gave in to her whims and desires, “it’s noteworthy that he insisted on keeping the dog.”

Indeed, Lincoln had always had a soft spot for animals. He owned a pet pig as a child, and was deeply distraught when his impoverished family had to kill the porker for food. He had quiet “affection” for the horses he rode while working as a lawyer and while on political business, and felines “were especially dear to Lincoln.” But sporting a name indicating loyalty, and owning a special spot on Lincoln’s sofa and in his heart, Fido was “one pampered pooch” at a time when pet-keeping was a status symbol. By mid-winter 1860, after winning the election for the presidency, Lincoln had several difficult decisions to make, one

of which greatly bothered him. Other presidents had successfully taken their dogs to office with them, but Fido was terrified by loud noises and he disliked crowds and fuss. Lincoln knew his dog would hate it at the White House. The Lincolns would go to Washington. Fido would stay in Illinois. What do the classic children’s book “Pat the Bunny “and Abraham Lincoln have in common? The answer to that – and more - lies inside “Abe & Fido.” But author Matthew Algeo doesn’t only share a littleknown man-and-dog tale here. His account starts in the early days of Lincoln ’s political ca-

reer and moves toward the finality we know. That tension, that understanding of what’s to come, gives this book a thrillerlike sense of urgent doom, softened by anecdotes of the warm gentleness of a man who’s still beloved, 150 years after his assassination. And even though you know what happens in the very end… you don’t. I’ve no doubt that collectors of Lincolniana will relish this book, as will Civil War and 19th century historians. If you’re a dog lover, too, or just want a peek at a quiet corner of history, “Abe & Fido” is a nice surprise. (Terri Schlichenmeyer writes book reviews for the Daily Corinthian.)

All friends and relatives of the couple are invited to attend the ceremony and the reception which follows.

Try something a bit different for first dance If Michael Buble or Nat King Cole aren’t on your playlists, chances are you may be looking for a first-dance song that’s a little less traditional for your wedding reception. Couples considering a song that’s a little different and speaks to them but won’t necessarily offend the wedding purists in attendance, might want to consider the following tunes: “All I Want is You”

(U2) “Amazing” (Aerosmith) “Crash” (Dave Matthews Band) “Crazy for You” (Adele) “Faster” (Matt Nathanson) “For You I Will” (Monica) “Here Without You” (3 Doors Down) “Kiss Me” (Sixpence None the Richer) “I’ll Stand by You” (The Pretenders)

Tips can make engagement photoshoot fun, successful Engagement photos vary depending on the couple. Often reserved for save-the-date cards and now commonly used to spruce up wedding websites, engagement photos can range from formal shoots in which couples are dressed to the nines to more laid back shots featuring couples in more everyday attire. When planning an engagement shoot, couples should give themselves carte blanche with regard to style, as the photoshoot need not follow many of the more accepted rules that the wedding itself will ultimately adhere to. Once couples have settled on a style for their photoshoot, there are additional ways to ensure the session is a success. • Find a photographer who shares your sensibilities. Photographers can vary greatly in style, and an engagement photoshoot will be most successful when couples find a photographer whose style matches the theme they are looking for with their photoshoot. You likely would not hire a nature photographer to photograph a basketball game, so don’t hire some-

one who specializes in posed shots if you want your photos to be more lively and spontaneous. Before you hire anyone, ask for samples of each photographer’s work to be certain you’re getting someone who has experiencing shooting the type of photos you want to take. • Solicit ideas from the photographer. Some couples already know exactly where they want their engagement photos to be shot and which poses they want to be arranged. However, many couples have little or no experience with professional photoshoots, and such couples should solicit ideas from each photographer they are considering hiring. A skilled and/or seasoned photographer should propose several ideas. Be wary of photographers who offer little input, as you may ultimately be dissatisfied with their work once the shoot has come and gone. • Avoid studio shots. Many couples prefer their engagement photos be taken somewhere they have a personal connection to, such as the sight of their first date or a park

Cryptoquip

they frequently visit. Studio photoshoots might provide the best lighting, but couples have no connection to such spaces, and down the road they may regret not taking the photos in someplace that’s a little more meaningful. In addition, a photoshoot outside the studio affords couples and their photographer more opportunities to experiment and improvise, which can produce a wider array of shots than a studio photoshoot is likely to deliver. • Don’t forget candid shots. Candid shots make the photoshoot more fun and loosen couples up a little bit. Many engagement photos will never be seen by anyone other than the photographer and the couple he or she is shooting, so don’t be bashful during candid shots for fear of being embarrassed down the road. Have fun with the candid shots, and your other photos are likely to come out better as a result. An engagement photoshoot should be fun and reflect the personalities of the couple. A few simple strategies can ensure couples’ shoots accomplish both of those things.
