Officials unsure what caused Selmer tragedy

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

SELMER, Tenn. — Officials are still unclear what exactly caused an elderly driver to plow through a crowded festival on Saturday, killing a Corinth businessman and his fianceé.

Lt. Brad Wilbanks of the Tennessee Highway Patrol said the investigation as to what happened continues.

“Understand, on this type of

crash, I’ve heard seven or eight different stories,” Wilbanks said. “We owe it to the families to get the facts right. It will take weeks to get this together, and we want to be able to answer any and all questions the families might have. That’s what takes so long.”

Pronounced dead at the scene were 62-year-old Michael L. Johnson of Selmer and 51-yearold Sherri R. Duncan of Hen-

derson. Johnson was owner of The Hot Rod Shop, LLC. in Corinth.

The accident happened early Saturday afternoon at the Rockabilly Highway Revival Festival in downtown Selmer.

City officials were granted the OK to shut down Court Avenue, the “main drag” through the city. Barricades were placed Please see TRAGEDY | 2A

Sherri R. Duncan and Michael L. Johnson were killed on Saturday at the Rockabilly Highway Revival Festival in Selmer, Tenn.

The couple were engaged to be married.

After struggling with infertility for years, Megan and Russ Johnson decided it was time to seriously consider adoption.

“At first, I just became curious,” said Megan who began researching on her own and asking questions to those she knows who’ve adopted. “Over the course of several months, God began to change my heart.

We did not choose adoption as Plan B, it became our new Plan A. “God knew the desires of our hearts long before we knew them,” she continued. “I had a family friend who worked with Bethany Christian Services for years. I didn’t know anyone who had used Bethany. So, I was slow to start there, but after asking her questions, I gradually made my way to filling out a preliminary application.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

The Daily Corinthian wants its readers to tell a story through a single image as it brings back two popular features from the past.

Snapshot Saturday and Corinthian Travels are making a comeback to the lone daily newspaper in the area.

“It’s all due to reader interest,” said Daily Corinthian Editor Mark Boehler. “There is no end to what can be submitted …

Snapshot Saturday will kick off June 18. Snapshots are slated to run on Page 2 each Saturday.

Things from birthdays to family events and even a big vegetable are a few ideas for local photographers to keep in mind when submitting photos.

“We love to see faces in the newspaper,” added Boehler.

on each end of the street and encompassed several blocks. Classic cars lined the streets and many festival goers were in the area.

According to the Highway Patrol report, a Ford LTD Crown Victoria driven by 91-year-old Aaron D. Stamey of Hornsby, with one passenger, 86-year-old Lois M. Stamey of Hornsby, went through a plastic barricade and headed south on Court Avenue. The car hit Duncan and Johnson at the intersection of Third Street and then hit an ATV, a Chevy Impala and a Chevy C-10 pickup truck before coming to a stop near the railroad crossing.

The couple had their backs turned to the street when hit by the vehicle.

The driver and passenger were transported by ambulance to Magnolia Regional Health Center

ELECTION and were released late Saturday.

At a Sunday press conference, Duncan’s father, Larry King, confronted Selmer Mayor John Smith.

After referencing a similar Selmer tragedy – the June 2007 Cars for Kids event where a dragster lost control on Court Avenue and raced into a crowd, killing six – King asked Smith why only a few barricades blocked off the street.

“They were set too far apart, they were not enough,” he said of the barricades.

Smith said, “The safety and well being of our citizens is our highest priority.

As we review the events of (the) tragedy, we will pursue any opportunities for improvement to add additional security to any future events. We are a tight knit community and consider all our citizens like

family. And their safety will reign superior with any strategic plans for improvement. Our priority right now is with the family, friends and colleagues of the deceased, to offer them all our support and prayers during their time of loss.”

Hundreds turned out for a community wide prayer meeting Saturday night at Selmer’s First Baptist Church to pray for the victims and the community.

The Selmer Rockabilly Highway Festival was a week-long event with various events happening since last Sunday. The event was concluding Saturday with a car show and music throughout the day.

Saturday’s tragedy was the first major accident since Tennova Healthcare closed McNairy County’s only hospital in May. (Editor Mark Boehler contributed to this story.)

BILOXI — A Corinth couple has a photo session waiting the next time they’re on the gulf coast reports the Sun Herald.

But that will have to wait until John Mitchell gets his fields planted.

He and Brittany Mitchell, his new wife, were able to take a break — he from planting, she from nursing school — to make a day trip to the coast for a beach wedding.

Coast photographer Selena Baroni snapped some quick cell phone photos of a young couple’s ceremony and posted them on her Facebook page. She didn’t know who they were but wanted them to have photos.

“No wedding should go without photos,” Baroni said. “It’s not fair.”

Baroni, who lives in Ocean Springs, said she was having a late lunch about 3 p.m.

Wednesday near the Biloxi lighthouse when she saw a man in a suit carry a table and set it on the beach. Then the young couple came and were married in a short ceremony.

“He scooped a handful of sand, put it in a bottle and gave it to the couple and that was it,” she said.

“They were there and gone in minutes -- the whole thing probably lasted 10 minutes.

“I do photography and I just wanted them to have the photographs if they want them.”

Lyndarius Witherspoon, 27, of Tupelo was killed in a shootout with law enforcement in Tupelo where he had fled from police pursuing him after the shooting in Baldwyn.

Authorities say Witherspoon shot and killed Alexandra Caldwell, 23, Saturday afternoon and then fled the scene of the shooting. Tupelo Police Department officers spotted Witherspoon’s vehicle based on an alert issued to all area law enforcement and attempted to stop him. He instead fled from police, firing several shots at officers before the chase ended at an apartment complex in the city where he continued to engage in a shootout with police before being shot by officers.

The case remains under investigation by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.

Tupelo Changes will help special ed student TUPELO — The Tupelo Public School District is making the required accommodations for a special education student whose mother filed a formal complaint against the district earlier this year, according to The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.

Lori Loden, mother of Duncan Harper, a 7-yearold student at Lawhon Elementary School, filed a formal complaint against TPSD claiming the district failed to provide appropriate special education services meeting her son’s physical, medical and educational needs. Loden is no relation to Tupelo Superintendent Gearl Loden.

Harper has cerebral palsy and is unable to walk and talk, among other basic functions.

Harper stopped attending Lawhon midyear.

However, Diana Ezell, assistant superintendent for TPSD, said Thursday Harper is still enrolled in the school district.

Following an in-person investigation of the claim in March, the MDE Office of Special Education reported the school district had not provided appropriate services, plans or medical equipment for Harper, including a hospital bed.

According to the report, TPSD was given 30 days to create a new plan to meet the student’s physical and educational needs and 60 days to provide teachers with training on how to teach students with multiple disabilities.

Oxford Ole Miss to revise Confederate plaque OXFORD — The University of Mississippi will revise a plaque beside a Confederate monument on its Oxford campus to add more information

about the Civil War and slavery.

Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter said Friday that the change comes in response to criticism that the original plaque, put up earlier this year, glossed over the reasons the war was fought.

Vitter’s predecessor as chancellor, Dan Jones, announced in 2014 that Ole Miss would provide historical context for Old South symbols as a way to acknowledge its complex history and to make a diverse student body feel more welcome.

The university was founded in 1848, and the Confederate soldier statue has stood for generations in a parklike area near the main administrative building.

Tupelo Animal registration may be increased TUPELO – City leaders want to officially increase the cost to register a dangerous animal, and at least one councilman believes more expansive registration requirements may merit thought reports The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.

Under the text of the current ordinance, a $50 registration fee is required to obtain the needed permit to keep a dangerous animal within the city limits.

Chief Operations Officer Don Lewis said the Tupelo City Council will be asked to increase this permit fee to $75.

According to Lewis, a $75 fee is already charged by the TupeloLee Humane Society, which processes the permit applications.

Changes to the ordinance would also clarify the Humane Society should indeed serve as custodian of the dangerous animal permit process.

Under the current ordinance, pit bulls are considered dangerous animals as are any animals that have attacked any person without provocation. Carnivorous animals not typically domesticated are also considered dangerous, such as lions and tigers, for example.

Tupelo TCT offers photos with characters TUPELO — Tupelo Community Theatre will offer patrons the opportunity to take photos with Cinderella, the Prince and the Golden Carriage on stage at the Lyric Theatre following each performance of “Cinderella Kids” June 16 and 17 at 7:30 and 18 at 2 p.m.

Tickets for the produc-

tion are $10 for adults and $5 for students and younger.

Patrons should bring their own camera/phone and the cost is $5 for each person being photographed. Children are encourage to wear their Cinderella costumes if they like.

(For more information or to purchase tickets call 662-844-1935.)

Oxford Rash of burglaries brings two arrests OXFORD – Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with a string of Oxford burglaries in May. The Oxford Police Department charged Brandon Slate, 18, and Khivante Brannon, 18, both of Oxford, with three counts of residential burglary and one count of auto burglary.

Starting May 18, police responded to several house burglaries in the Grand Oaks subdivision. The following week, a Notting Hill subdivision resident reported someone broke into their house and car. Items from both Notting Hill and Grand Oaks were later found near Brittany Woods in a wooded area.

Slate also has a grand larceny charge from Huddle House where he allegedly stole someone’s iPad from the business.

Slate and Brannon were each given a bond of $20,000.

Tupelo Tupelo focuses on property purchases TUPELO — As Mayor Jason Shelton approaches the final year of his current term of office, redevelopment of Tupelo’s neighborhoods continues to absorb much of his administration’s attention reports The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.

Within the last few months, a flurry of property purchases have been approved by the Tupelo City Council at his recommendation.

At least one councilman, however, fears the benefits of redevelopment efforts may only selectively benefit local citizens.

Ward 7 Councilman Willie Jennings worries rental homes and lowincome housing will be replaced across the city by middle-class housing, leaving low-income residents left to feel a squeeze.

Since May 5, the council has approved plans to buy five lots in Mill Village, one lot in Sharon Hills and 76.2 acres located between Lawndale Drive and the intersection of Bryan and Monument drives.

Corinth, Miss.

Still unclear who else is implicated in Epps case JACKSON — Thursday was like Groundhog Day in the Christopher Epps prosecution.

Everything was on repeat.

Lawyers were again arguing in federal court over how to count the damage that the Jeff Amy former Mississippi corrections commissioner did to the state Columnist through a bribery scheme with Brandon businessman and former state House member Cecil McCrory.

McCrory’s lawyer said he’s still considering asking U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate to allow McCrory to withdraw his guilty plea.

And prosecutors said they’re still on the cusp of unsealing more indictments in the prosecution.

That’s pretty much where things left off following the previous hearing in April. Then, Wingate decided he didn’t have enough information to sentence Epps under the prosecution’s theory that the recommended sentence should be calculated based on the economic loss to the state and not just on the $1.47 million in bribes that both sides agree Epps took.

Some of that information has now arrived, but Wingate ruled defense lawyers need more time to review it.

Prosecutors had initially suggested the value of the loss was a staggering $868 million, but it turns out that’s the gross value of all the contracts Epps approved for 15 companies in question. Both sides now agree that they need to seek the net benefit to the companies, which is a measure of something like profit, although exactly what should be included or excluded in expenses remains a matter of dispute.

The government lists 15 companies that were part of the scheme to bribe McCrory and Epps. McCrory’s lawyer, Carlos Tanner, says the government should have to prove that the companies knew the payments to McCrory were bribes.

“The whole premise here is that but for the bribe, Geo wouldn’t have gotten the contract,” Tanner told Wingate. “It would have to be for work he (McCrory) didn’t do. The only way the government’s theory holds water is if Geo knew there was a bribe here.”

That opens the doorway to a question that has lurked in the background since the indictment against Epps and McCrory was unsealed nearly two years ago: Why haven’t the companies or their employees faced criminal charges? The cast of companies alleged to have made payments features some prominent names in the world of private prison contracting.

Wingate asked Assistant U.S. Attorney Darren LaMarca whether Geo Group, the Florida-based private prison firm that used to run three Mississippi prisons, was a target of criminal inquiry before Geo Group Finance Director John Tyrrell took the stand. LaMarca said prosecutors have no information at this point that could lead to charges against Geo. A number of the companies have denied knowing that the consultants they hired were kicking back money to Epps or other officials.

“We often have consultants in the various jurisdictions where we do business,” Tyrrell testified.

Less clear is why Geo and others felt they needed consultants, and what they were getting for the money.

Geo was paying McCrory $5,000 a month, an amount that President and Chief Operating Officer Wayne Calabrese later increased to $10,000. Tyrrell speculated that amount increased after Geo took over Cornell Cos., another private prison contractor, which had run a troubled youth prison in Walnut Grove.

John Colette, Epps’ lawyer, denies his client was getting any of that Geo money, even though Epps may have suggested McCrory as Geo’s consultant. But it didn’t sound like McCrory was keeping all of it. Tanner made statements to the effect that McCrory was passing 60 percent of the Geo money onto someone else.

It’s unclear who that someone else is. But federal prosecutors may answer that question soon.

(Daily Corinthian columnist Jeff Amy is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)

Prayer for today Eternal God, forbid that I should try to set up thy judgment-seat in so small a place as self, and attempt to render decisions for thee.

My soul lives anew as I think of thy love, and that there is no place where thy mercy can be withheld from me. Amen.

A verse to share Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

–Proverbs 13:12

Special funds grab has consequences OXFORD — Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves says it’s Obama’s fault, but state agency chiefs are pointing a disappointed finger at Reeves and legislators.

For what?

The Great Scrape of 2016.

“It’s going to take at least a decade to fix this,” said Mike Chaney, insurance commissioner and former member of both the House and Senate.

Here’s the background: Through the decades, the Legislature has imposed assorted fees to accomplish certain goals.

There are dozens of these quid pro quo laws.

• A dollar or so added to the cost of a marriage license funds domestic violence prevention.

• A few dollars on traffic fines supports the law enforcement training academy.

• Ten bucks on a fire insurance policy goes to buy fire trucks for small-town and rural volunteer fire departments.

Some funds are very large, such as the 2009 tax increase on tobacco. The tax went from 18 cents to 68 cents per pack with a promised emphasis on smoking cessation. Remember?

The largest of these pledges were an Education

Trust Fund that was ordained in the 1980s and a Health Care Trust Fund that was to Charlie come from Mitchell the billions collected in Columnist settling the state’s lawsuit against Big Tobacco in the 1990s. The Education Trust never really came to be; the Health Care Trust did, but was raided and depleted after only a few years.

Here’s what has happened: As the 2016 session closed, the Legislature opted to sweep all money from all these accounts to balance the General Fund.

One big pot for every penny the state receives, regardless of the premise upon which the money was collected. The Legislature tacitly repealed every provision assigning revenue to specific operations without actually repealing anything.

The law may still pledge a dollar from every marriage license to domestic violence programs, but if the new budget didn’t allocate money for the purposes defined in collecting the money, then for the 12 months starting July there may be no money

for those purposes. Period.

Heads of most state agencies are, in a word, aghast.

Chaney’s office collects the fire insurance policy premium tax, and he says he plans to allocate it as the law prescribed before the last-minute “scrape.” The total collected is about $16 million.

If the state doesn’t like what he plans to do, “they can put me in jail,” Chaney said.

Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, also a Republican and normally a softspoken former tax attorney, is seeing red. His office collects a $250 in filing fee from each nonresident limited liability corporation. About half the total collected from the fee, $1.3 million, has been returned to local governments to help pay for elections. “When the circuit clerks don’t get that money,” Hoseman said, “that’s when people will realize what this means.”

Hosemann was as livid as he gets. There was zero hesitation to award $262 million and provide a 25-year tax exemption to a foreign tiremaker for a loose projection to add 2,000 jobs (Continental Tire), he said. “Teachers can’t live on projections,” Hosemann said. “We ought to get out of it. There’s no justification for that.”

For his part, Reeves de-

livered “all is well” reassurances to Mississippi Today.

Asked about why the state was in such a pinch, Reeves told the online news source, “In terms of why we’re not seeing significant economy growth, I think the primary reason is the Obama economy.”

In the interview, Reeves basically called the agency heads crybabies. Hosemann said the scrape was part of a plan to consolidate more power in the Legislature.

Here’s the gist: If Bob takes $500 from Jim and promises to deliver a cow, but delivers a goat, that’s false pretenses — and Bob goes to prison.

That’s not exactly what the 2016 edition of the Mississippi Legislature, in its haste to deliver a balanced budget, has done. But it’s close.

Agency heads feel they were separately elected to provide services related to the fees the Legislature created for specific purposes.

They have every right to be distraught because those services will still be expected, but perhaps not provided.

Maybe then people will notice.

Will Orlando change anything?

However great the shock of the massacre in Orlando, it is only a matter of time before we start hearing again the fact-free dogma that “diversity is our strength.”

If there is any place in the Guinness Book of World Records for words repeated the most often, over the most years, without one speck of evidence, “diversity” should be a prime candidate.

Is diversity our strength?

Or anybody’s strength, anywhere in the world? Does Japan’s homogeneous population cause the Japanese to suffer? Have the Balkans been blessed by their heterogeneity – or does the very word “Balkanization” remind us of centuries of strife, bloodshed and unspeakable atrocities, extending into our own times?

Has Europe become a safer place after importing vast numbers of people from the Middle East, with cultures hostile to the fundamental values of Western civilization?

“When in Rome do as the Romans do” was once a common saying. Today, after generations in the West have been indoctrinated with the rhetoric of multiculturalism, the borders of Western nations on both sides of the Atlantic have been thrown open to people who think it is their prerogative to come

The recent wave of refugees flooding into Europe include Muslim men who have been haranguing European women on the streets for not dressing modestly enough, not to mention their sexual molestation of those women.

Smug elites in Europe, like their counterparts in America, are not nearly as concerned about such things as they are about preventing “Islamophobia.” Legal restrictions on free speech in some European countries make it a crime to sound the alarm about the dangers to the culture and to the people.

In the lofty circles of those who see themselves as citizens of the world, it is considered unworthy, if not hateful, to insist on living according to your own Western values or to resist importing people who increase your chances of being killed.

But if you don’t have the instinct for self-preserva-

tion, it will not matter much in the long run whatever else you may have.

America’s great good fortune in the past has been that Americans have been able to unite as Americans against every enemy, despite our own internal differences and struggles. Black and white, Jew and Gentile, have fought and died for this country in every war.

It has not been our diversity, but our ability to overcome the problems inherent in diversity, and to act together as Americans, that has been our strength.

In both World War I and World War II, the top commander of American troops who went into combat against the German army was of German ancestry – Pershing and Eisenhower, respectively. So too was General Carl Spaatz, whose bombers reduced German cities to rubble. Whatever their backgrounds, they were Americans when the chips were down.

Today, that sense of American unity is being undermined by the reckless polarization of group identity politics. That affects not only how Americans see themselves, but how others in our midst see America.

Some people demand American citizenship, as if it is an entitlement, while

burning the American flag and waving the flag of Mexico. And the apostles of “diversity” and “multiculturalism” watch in silence. That includes the President of the United States.

Probably most people in most groups are decent. But if 85 percent of the people in Group A present no serious problems and 95 percent of the people in Group B present no serious problems, that means you can expect three times as many serious problems when you admit immigrants from Group A. Unfortunately, there is remarkably little interest in the relevant facts about crime rates, disease rates, welfare dependency or educational deficiencies among immigrants from specific countries. Most debates about immigration policies are contests in rhetoric, with hard facts being ignored as if they didn’t exist.

Tragically, the massacre in Orlando seems unlikely to change that. Too many people have too much invested in their own particular position to change, especially in an election year.

We all have more strength than we realize In 2008, a Florida firefighter lifted a full size SUV which had crashed, 12 inches off the ground.

This Bryan amazing feat Golden was needed in order to allow Dare to Live other firefightWithout Limits ers to rescue the trapped driver whose arm was pinned under the vehicle.

In 1988, the helicopter Steve was piloting crashed in a ditch due to mechanical problems.

His leg was pinned under the helicopter. One of his co-workers managed to lift the helicopter just enough to enable Steve to free himself.

These two examples are just some of numerous incidents where individuals utilized more strength than they realized they

had. Ironically, before their awesome feats, none of these people would have realized they were capable of doing what they did.

The secret to their amazing feats was their determination to do whatever was necessary to rescue the injured person. They didn’t wonder if they could do it. They didn’t conjure up any reasons why they couldn’t do it.

They just did whatever it took.

The physical strength they used is only one type of strength.

Other strengths include willpower, drive, and determination. One of the biggest strength is the refusal to ever give up.

On the other hand, fear, doubt, and worry are roadblocks to your success. You are not born with these limiting concepts. They are learned from other people and from your own experiences. One bad experience has amazing power

to negatively taint your entire outlook.

The concept is simple. If you believe you can do something, you are right. Conversely, if you believe you can’t do something, you are also right. It’s up to you to decide which way you will think. So even if you have been thinking of all the excuses why you can’t accomplish as much as you would like, you can change your outlook right now.

Within you lies immense capability. You can achieve more than you think. It’s the limits you impose on yourself which prevent you from attaining your full potential. Beliefs in what you can’t do are typically more engrained than fully comprehending all that you can do.

You won’t attempt or be successful dealing with issues you believe to be impossible. This is because your brain follows the instructions you provide. In

order to utilize all of your inner potential, you must first believe in its existence, as well as believing you have what it takes to successfully accomplish your objective.

You can solve any problem confronting you. You can overcome any obstacle. You can successfully deal with any challenge you encounter. Your only obstacle is yourself. Tapping into your inner strength begins with replacing “I can’t” with “I can” in your self-talk. Next, you replace all excuses for failure with reasons to succeed.

There are those who will try to discourage you from doing what you want or need to do.

They will give you excuses for failure by telling you why you can’t, won’t, or should not succeed. Ignore them. Following their advice guarantees failure.

Pay attention to the times in your life where you did accom-

plish more than you thought possible. Many of these examples will come from your childhood where you were successful for the simple reason that you didn’t know something was not possible. So you just went ahead and did it.

Remember these personal experiences whenever you start to doubt yourself or are surrounded by naysayers. Since you still have inside you the same strength you had before, you can reproduce successful outcomes now and in the future.

Always remember that you have more strength than you realize.

Northeast offers bicycle sharing program

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

The Tigers are taking tremendously to two wheels.

Northeast Mississippi Community College’s bicycle sharing program is off to a great start as students, faculty and staff take advantage of free access to bikes for transportation on campus and off.

“It’s just a great program.

It’s been really exciting,” said NEMCC Fitness Center Director Joseph Pennington.

The program, funded as part of the college’s overall campus wide fitNEss effort in partnership with the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation of Mississippi, provides bikes that are available to be checked out free of charge. The school currently has 20 of the two-wheelers available and they hope to add more soon.

Pennington said the response to the project has been tremendous with users enjoying the convenience and health benefits of the bikes, along with the fun of riding.

“Nobody gets off a bike and has a frown,” he said with a laugh.

As part of the campus health initiative, Pennington believes the bikes can play a role in encouraging exercise and healthier habits. They’ve also proven to be a great outreach tool for the fitness center. As users have come to the center to checkout the bikes they’ve had a chance to see the full service fitness options available through the facility.

“It’s brought a lot of people in for the first time,” he said.

The program was kicked off this spring with the inaugural Tour de Tiger on the college’s iconic Cunningham Boulevard.

Students and faculty had the chance to ride the bikes around the boulevard and learn about the program and the fitness effort while enjoying good and music.

Pennington said they aim for Tour de Tiger to become an annual event with the next one slated for late September. He said the goal of it and the entire program is to get people involved and taking steps to becoming healthier.

1 U.S. judge to hear 3 suits over Mississippi law

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — One judge will hear all three challenges to a Mississippi law that will let clerks cite religious beliefs to recuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Each lawsuit originally had been assigned to a different federal judge.

Two have been shifted to U.S. District Judge Carl-

ton Reeves, who already had one.

In reassigning cases Friday, Chief District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. cited an overall equal distribution of the workload among judges.

Mississippi’s House Bill 1523, set to become law July 1, was one of several measures filed by state lawmakers around the nation in response to the Supreme Court decision to legalize same-sex mar-

riage nationwide.

Supporters say the Mississippi law will protect people’s religious belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, while opponents say it violates the equalprotection guarantee of the Constitution. All three lawsuits seek to have the bill declared unconstitutional and to block it from becoming law.

The bill signed by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant

provides protection for people with three religious beliefs: that marriage is only between a man and a woman, that sexual relations should only take place inside such a marriage and that a person’s “immutable biological sex” is determined by anatomy and genetics at birth. In addition to marriage licenses, the measure could affect adoptions, business practices and school bathroom policies.

On May 9, the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit on behalf of a gay couple from Meridian.

The case originally was assigned to U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan.

On May 10, Campaign for Southern Equality and two lesbian couples filed papers seeking to challenge the new law by asking Reeves to reopen their 2014 federal lawsuit in which he overturned Mississippi’s ban on same-

sex marriage.

On June 3, the Mississippi Center for Justice filed suit for a diverse group of gay, straight and transgender people saying the law violates the separation of church and state by favoring “certain narrow religious beliefs that condemn same-sex couples who get married, condemn unmarried people who have sexual relations and condemn transgender people.”

history, the American flag has steadfastly served as an emblem of this great experiment in democracy. On Flag Day and during National Flag Week, we pledge our allegiance to the banner that has served as a guiding symbol on our Nation’s journey, and we celebrate the hope it inspires in the American people.

“With hands over hearts,

Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs have long saluted Old Glory and honored its legacy. Our flag persists as a powerful representation of freedom and opportunity.”

In observance of National Flag week which began on Sunday, June 12, the American flag should be displayed on all federal government buildings.

“I urge all Americans to observe Flag Day and National Flag Week by displaying the flag,” said Obama in his proclamation on Friday, June 10. “I

also call upon the people of the United States to observe with pride and all due ceremony those days from Flag Day through Independence Day, also set aside by the Congress (89 Stat. 211), as a time to honor America, to celebrate our heritage in public gatherings and activities, and to publicly recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America.”

According to history. com, June 14 isn’t just a day to honor the flag in American History.

“While the 1777 resolu-

tion establishing a national flag was the impetus for the national holiday known as Flag Day, that date also holds great significance for the U.S. Army,” states the website.

“Two years earlier, just weeks after the Battles of Lexington and Concord kicked off the American Revolution, the Congress formally authorized the enlistment of soldiers to fight in what became known as the Continental Army. So this Friday, remember to wish the U.S. Army a happy 238th birthday.”

At Corinth’s American Legion Post 6, the colors are respected not just on Flag Day, but everyday.

“Each year, myself and other Legion members visit local elementary schools to talk to the first graders about the flag, its background and how it should be treated,” said Post Commander Tommy Watson. “We later return and teach the fourth grade students about proper respect as far as how to handle the flag.”

The American Legion also has a box at its location at 511 South Tate Street where people can

drop off their worn or tattered banners for proper disposal.

“We have taken on the issue of proper disposal and respect for the flag for many years and have a continuing effort in Washington D.C. to push through a flag amendment, but have had trouble getting it on the agenda for many of our congressmen,” said Watson. “As the flag is symbolic of our nation and many of us have served under it, we feel that proper respect and care of it is a prominent issue.”

Educating others while treating Old Glory with respect, the Legion holds a proper disposal ceremony for flags each year.

In observance of Flag Day 2016, VFW Post 3962 held its annual flag retirement ceremony on Sunday.

Whether singing the national anthem, observing the Pledge of Allegiance with hands placed over hearts or flying Old Glory outside of homes and businesses, the U.S. government is encouraging all Americans to pause and pay tribute to the flag on its official holiday.

The Making of a Christian When we are saved in the name of Christ, we have a divine right to wear his name. It is sinful to wear human names as religious designations. In the early days of the church some of the brethren at Corinth were given to wearing human names. For this they were severely rebuked. “For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?” (1 Cor. 3: 4,5.) To wear human names in religion is carnal.

“Carnal” means animal, fleshly, material, temporal, worldly. It is the very opposite of spiritual. “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” (Rom. 8:6).

We have the name “Christian” three times in the New Testament.

We have already read it in Acts 11: 26. Its next occurrence is in Acts 26: 28. Paul had been preaching the everlasting gospel to King Agrippa.

“Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.” The king knew if he were to obey the gospel that Paul preached it would make him a Christian. It will do the same thing today. Paul preached the death of Christ for our sins, his burial, and his resurrection. He taught people to believe in Christ, to repent of their sins, to confess the name of Christ, and to be buried by baptism for the remission of sins.

You will be interested in hearing Paul preach these things. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” (Acts 16: 31) “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.” (Acts 17: 30.) “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Rom. 10: 9,10.) “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.” (Rom. 6: 3-5) We have the name “Christian” once again. “Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.” (1 Pet. 4: 16.) If we are genuine Christians, we are going to suffer some for it. Yes, it costs something to be a Christian. To be a humble follower of the humble Christ and to wear no other name but his really means something. This name is above every other name. “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in the earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Phil. 2: 9-11.)

May God help us to honor the name by wearing it and living up to it.

Read Acts 9: 1-20. Welcome.

Jury will mull case of shooting suspect COLUMBIA, S.C. — A jury, not a judge, will consider hate crimes and other federal charges against the man charged in the shooting deaths of nine parishioners at a South Carolina church.

U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled Monday that jurors will determine the guilt or innocence of Dylann Roof in his federal trial.

If he’s convicted, a jury will also hear arguments on a possible death sentence.

Roof’s lawyers had requested a bench trial.

Earlier Monday, prosecutors filed papers opposing a bench trial.

The 22-year-old Roof faces the charges in connection to the June 17 shootings at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston. The trial is scheduled to begin on Nov. 7.

His trial on nine counts of murder in state court is set for January.

Freight train derails in Baltimore tunnel BALTIMORE — Authorities say it appears that a mechanical problem caused a freight train derailment in a tunnel in Baltimore, but the specific cause is under investigation.

CSX spokesman Rob Doolittle said at least 13 cars derailed early Monday in the Howard Street tunnel, but there are no injuries or hazards to the public.

Doolittle says the 124-car train was headed from Philadelphia to Cumberland, Maryland, with eight locomotives.

He says one derailed car contains acetone, a flammable solvent. Doolittle says rail traffic is stopped in the area.

Fire department spokesman Samuel Johnson says no poisonous substances were released. He says the cause is under investigation and cars won’t be moved until Monday evening.

Johnson is asking the public to avoid the area.

Teacher resolves shoplifting charge EDGECOMB, Maine — A shoplifting charge against a Maine teacher who won the $1 million Global Teacher Prize will be dropped if she meets terms imposed by a court.

The plea arrangement requires Nancie Atwell to stay out of trouble for two years, undergo a psychological evaluation and complete 100 hours of community service. The Portland Press Herald reports that the deferred disposition was formalized Monday.

Atwell founded The Centre for Teaching and Learning in Edgecomb.

She was selected from a pool of 1,300 applicants for the first Varkey Foundation award in 2015.

In April, she was charged with shoplifting a $14.99 blouse. The charge will be dropped if she meets the court terms that include proving she’s donating the

prize money.

She has called the theft charge a misunderstanding.

Microsoft reveals LinkedIn purchase NEW YORK — In a surprise move, Microsoft said Monday that it is buying professional networking service site LinkedIn for about $26.2 billion.

It is by far Microsoft’s largest acquisition — much larger than Skype, which the company bought for $8.5 billion in 2011.

LinkedIn, based in Mountain View, California, has more than 430 million members. Users can network with other professionals, upload their resumes, catch up on career advice and search for jobs on its site and apps.

Microsoft Corp. is paying $196 for each share of LinkedIn Corp., a 50 percent premium over the stock’s closing price of $131.08 on Friday. The deal is expected to close this year.

LinkedIn will remain an independently run unit of Microsoft. It will keep its name, and current CEO Jeff Weiner will stay on and report directly to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Microsoft is based in Redmond, Washington.

For Microsoft, the deal means access to LinkedIn’s hundreds of millions of users and an opportunity to cement itself as the tech company for the world’s professionals, helping them find jobs, learn new skills and do their work.

Bryant: Lower flags for Orlando victims JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant has ordered flags to fly at half-staff on state property to honor those killed or wounded in the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

The Republican issued an executive order Monday for flags to be lowered until sunset Thursday.

He says people in Mississippi are praying for “the victims of hatred and terror” and for their families.

Bryant’s order follows one by President Barack Obama for flags to fly half-staff on federal property.

Suspect pleads not guilty to shooting BILOXI — A 45-yearold man accused in the Nov. 27 shooting death of a Biloxi Waffle House server has pleaded not guilty.

The Sun Herald report Johnny Max Mount entered his plea to a murder charge on Monday.

He is set to stand trial Feb. 13 in the death of Julie Brightwell.

According to court records, Mount was seated at a counter when Brightwell told him he couldn’t smoke his e-cigarette inside the Biloxi restaurant.

Police have said he became angry and pulled a 9 mm handgun from his waist.

When Brightwell saw the gun, she ducked behind a counter but Mount got up, leaned over the

counter and shot her once in the head. She died a short time later at Merit Health Biloxi.

She had worked for Waffle House eight years.

His attorney said Sandoval “strongly professes his innocence.”

PASCAGOULA — Prosecutors are asking a judge to allow a girl to testify about how a former Ocean Springs school bus driver gave her candy, rubbed her back and gave her a pet name. Prosecutors say the testimony is intended to show the type of suspected “sexual-abuse grooming” behavior he used on a different girl he is accused of molesting.

Eye on retail The Commerce Department reports May retail sales figures today.

The pace of U.S. retail sales growth has been mixed this year. Sales surged by 1.3 percent in April, as consumers spent more money at restaurants, car dealerships and online at Amazon.com, eBay and other internet retailers. That gain followed a small drop in March.

Economists anticipate that sales increased slightly last month.

Hedge-fund faves Maybe it’s more a kiss of death than a seal of approval, but hedge funds love Starwood Hotels & Resorts.

The company behind the Westin, Sheraton and other brands is a top-10 holding at 28 hedge funds, according to a recent review by strategists at Goldman Sachs. Only a dozen stocks appear more frequently on hedge funds’ top-holdings lists, and most of those are much bigger in size. Hedge funds, which are supposed to represent some of the “smart money” on Wall Street, collectively own nearly a third of all Starwood’s stock.

top-10 holdings lists has beaten the Standard & Poor’s 500 index in 63 percent of quarters since 2001, according to Goldman Sachs.

More recently their performance has stumbled, though. Hedge funds lost an average of 0.7 percent in the first quarter, according to research firm HFR. That’s even though stocks returned 1.3 percent, and investmentgrade bonds returned 3 percent.

Pricier exports?

U.S. businesses increased their stockpiles of goods in March for the first time since June last year.

The 0.4 percent gain snapped months of falling inventories, which have been a big drag on the nation’s economy. Inventories have pulled economic growth lower for three straight quarters.

Did the rebound in business stockpiles continue in April? Find out today, when the Commerce Department reports its latest monthly business inventory data.

Economists project that the price paid for U.S. exports edged higher last month.

The Labor Department is expected to report today that its export price index rose 0.3 percent in May. That would follow a gain of 0.5 percent in April. U.S. export sales have been hurt by a strong dollar this year. But the U.S. currency has weakened a bit since peaking earlier this year.

Confiscating phones may teach surly teens to show respect Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

D E A R ABBY: I’m the mother of two teenagers, ages 13 and 15.

I am trying to teach them to do chores and help around the house, but all I get is attitude from

them.

I try to explain that I didn’t grow up with a dishwasher and I washed all the dishes by hand.

Well, now that we have a dishwasher, they don’t want to load or unload it either! I try not to spoil my kids, but I guess it’s too late.

Sometimes I get so frustrated that I just do the chores myself.

What am I doing wrong as a parent?

My kids are either on their iPhone or iPad or Xbox.

They have a better childhood than I ever had, but they don’t understand.

It’s hurtful when their response is “Let me live,” or “You don’t understand anything,” or “I can’t wait to get out of the house and get away from you!”

This is very hurtful, and I guess I just needed to vent to someone other than my husband. Thanks for letting me. -- STRESSEDOUT MOM DEAR MOM: You’re welcome.

Now, may I offer a suggestion?

You should not be doing your teenagers’ chores for them.

Instead, start instituting consequences if they shirk their responsibilities.

An effective consequence would be to confiscate their iPhone, iPad or Xbox if the chores aren’t done when they’re supposed to be. And if they talk disrespectfully to you -- ditto!

wedding, you would have been consulted before the date was set. His fiancee didn’t consult you because that is probably the way your son wanted it.

Under the circumstances, you should not pay for any of the wedding expenses.

If you feel you must do something, send them a congratulatory card wishing them “a lifetime of happiness together.” Period.

DEAR ABBY: My son’s fiancee set their wedding date without asking me if I could make it.

I recently took a job on the West Coast.

As a campground manager and new employee, I can’t get time off Labor Day weekend to fly back to the East Coast for the wedding. (Labor Day is one of the big summer holidays for campgrounds.)

His fiancee has done other hurtful things in the past, and I can’t help but doubt it was an oversight that I wasn’t consulted before their wedding date was set. When I tried to talk to my son about it, I received the anticipated hostility I usually get from him.

My question to you is, should I pay for their caterer? I have given this son so much money over the years that I can’t help but believe he’s a user.

Advice, please. -- EXCLUDED OUT WEST DEAR EXCLUDED: If your son had wanted you to be at his

DEAR ABBY: If I am standing in line waiting for a friend to arrive at a store that’s about to open for a sale, when my friend arrives, is it OK for her to join me where I’ve been holding the spot, or should we move to the back of the line so customers behind us don’t feel like she is butting in? -- NO BUTTS ABOUT IT DEAR NO BUTTS: Lines for sales can be long, and people sometimes wait many hours to get into the stores. According to Emily Post, “Courteous people never break into line.” It might be diplomatic to ask the person standing in back of you if he or she minds if your friend joins you. Some might object; others not.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Boundaries are set for so many reasons -- property, communication, fear, etc. There doesn’t always need to be a reason to draw a line, and yet there is one now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your job will continue to be difficult if you don’t ask for help.

So ask for help. Many capable people surround you, all of whom are looking forward to being able to support you in some way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Maybe “tree hugger” is a hippy stereotype, but there is real logic to wanting to wrap your arms around nature. The natural world connects people in a way that nothing else can. Get into it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

It is good to be able to represent to yourself and others that you are not afraid, that you will make a difference and that you are completely able to stand up for your beliefs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The

one who challenges you isn’t sure about your strength, but he or she will be soon. These are the kinds of tests that bring about your finest moments of personal fortitude.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The idea that “everything” could hinge on one thing is usually an overstatement. But today it rings true in some way. Your “everything” -- that is, however you feel about yourself -- becomes magnified. Take an inventory of your best attributes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

The thing about it is that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. That is the way it goes in the song, and the way it goes in real life, too -- for the clueless ones. Not you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You like to learn -- need to, even -- and learn you do. Today will bring you the entire scope of the lesson up front so that you can decide what to do with the fallout of this.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). A difference of views will occur -- strengths and weaknesses will be pointed out. It’s nothing that you don’t know already; this is an ongoing argument. But past today it won’t go on much longer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The one who respects you has good reason. Now what do you think that reason might be?

Investigate it. You’re great. Why don’t you know this about yourself already?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your friend has been calling you, and you have been less available than usual. Circumstances -- that’s the long and short of it. But all of those situations will clear up very nearly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

What is to be said for a person who can’t deliver what you want? You can only have respect for the intention if it’s followed up by action. Yours will be the first and the last move, so think it through very carefully.

Larry Johnson isn’t the type of coach who keeps up with his record.

He spent 42 years in the coaching business to put players in the position to succeed. The New Site native will be looking for something else to do this fall after retiring from the sideline.

“I am going to miss the kids and going to scout … I loved to scout, but I won’t miss the bus rides,” said Johnson.

Johnson, a 1967 NSHS graduate, spent the past five seasons at his alma mater.

Under the coach, the Royals posted three straight 19-win seasons and finished this past season just one win shy

of a trip to the state tournament.

“I am leaving a great nucleus,” said the coach. “It has been a good five years and it looks good for the next four years at New Site.”

That hasn’t always been the perception when it comes to boys basketball at New Site.

Johnson was part of three consecutive Class B State Championship teams (1965, 1966, 1967) at New Site under legendary coach Gerald Caveness.

New Site was king in boys basketball in the 60s, winning five straight state titles with their last coming in 1969. “The perception was New Site was the graveyard when it came to boys coach-

ing,” said Johnson of the most recent outlook of the job.

The coach, a 1971 grad of Mississippi State University, changed the impression.

“I wanted to see if I could put them on the map again,” he said. “We didn’t put a state championship banner up there, but we got closer.”

It all started for Johnson at Houston Junior High School in Itawamba County. High school coaching jobs over the years included stops at Nettleton, Iuka, Burnsville, Tishomingo County, North Pontotoc and Kossuth. He coached 13 years before leaving to work with his brother in the construction business.

“Construction wasn’t what

I wanted to do,” he said.

“Coaching was in my blood and I wanted to see if I could do it.” Johnson returned to the sideline to lead both the Burnsville Mustangs and Lady Mustangs.

“My calling was to take a team and evolve them into a program,” he said. “I wanted to take kids and get them to a point of feeling good about themselves when it came to playing basketball.”

His Tishomingo County Lady Braves qualified for the Class 4A State Tournament three times, making trips to the “Big House” in 1996, 1997 and 1999.

Coaches to examine tournament selection The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kentucky’s John Calipari and West Virginia’s Bob Huggins are among more than a dozen coaches and administrators who have been chosen to examine the NCAA men’s basketball tournament selection system.

The National Association of Basketball Coaches announced the ad hoc committee Monday. It will work with the NCAA in the coming weeks to discuss selection, seeding and bracketing processes.

Previous NABC committees have worked with the NCAA to adjust rules for student-athletes declaring for the NBA draft and to consider the demands placed on athletes’ time.

NABC executive director Jim Haney and former SEC commissioner Mike Slive will co-chair the committee, which also includes coaches such as Mark Few, Steve Fisher and Mark Turgeon, administrators Doug Elgin and Dan Guerrero and consultants Dan Davitt and Reggie Minton, among others.

The team is declining to release details about the play-by-play man’s illness or treatment. The announcement Monday came a year after Strader was hired to replace longtime Dallas playby-play voice Ralph Strangis.

LONDON — The International Tennis Federation says it has banned a Ukrainian doctor from sports for four years for giving a banned substance to WTA Tour player Kateryna Kozlova.

The ITF said in a statement Monday that Elena Dorofeyeva gave a supplement containing the banned stimulant DMBA to Kozlova, the current world No. 98, in 2014.

Kozlova tested positive and served a six-month ban last year, when the ITF ruled she had not intentionally doped.

Arizona advances with sweep of MSU

BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

STARKVILLE — Cesar Salazar’s first attempt at sending Arizona to a dramatic comeback win and a spot in the College World Series ended with a harmless groundout.

Faced with the same situation two innings later, the freshman catcher didn’t disappoint.

Salazar hit a game-winning, two-out single in the 11th inning to cap a stunning rally and Arizona beat Mississippi State 6-5 on Satur-

day night to advance to the College World Series.

Arizona (44-21) makes it to Omaha for the first time since winning the national title in 2012. The Wildcats trailed 5-1 going into the eighth inning, but Ryan Aguilar’s 3-run homer jolted the team’s offense awake and sparked a comeback against the NCAA tournament’s No. 6 national seed.

Arizona added another run in the ninth to force extra innings and then Salazar smacked a bouncing ball through the right side of the

infield for the deciding hit in the best-of-three series.

“We knew (Salazar) was a great hitter,” Arizona’s Zach Gibbons said. “We knew he could get it done. And after that, it was just a blur.”

The Wildcats charged onto the field for a dogpile and a celebration that seemed improbable just a few innings before.

“I try to pride myself on knowing what to say,” Arizona’s first-year coach Jay Johnson said. “But right now I’m just speechless.”

Mississippi State (44-18-1)

— which was regular-season Southeastern Conference champion — lost two straight games on its home field to end its season. The Bulldogs got two solo homers from Brent Rooker — his third and fourth of the postseason — and 51/3 solid innings from starter Austin Sexton.

It was the Bulldogs’ bullpen that failed them. Ryan Rigby gave up the 3-run homer, Reid Humphreys the tying run and Blake Smith the game winner. The WildPlease see MSU | 11A

Florida AD Foley retiring after 25 years The Associated Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley drove through the baseball parking lot, turned left at the grounds crew entrance and stopped a few feet from left field.

Any closer and he would have been in the dugout.

“It’s good to be king,” Foley said Sunday as he emerged from his SUV before the Gators and Florida State played Game 2 of their NCAA super regional.

His reign is coming to an end.

One of the most successful college sports leaders in the country, Foley announced his retirement Monday after 40

years at Florida. He started as an intern long before Steve Spurrier, Billy Donovan and Urban Meyer were coaching at Florida, worked his way to the top of the athletic department and built a powerhouse program.

The Gators have won 27 national championships during Foley’s 25 years at the helm.

Now, they’re searching for someone to sustain that success.

“I want to do what’s right for Florida,” Foley said in a statement. “That’s why I have spent a lot of time thinking it through. And I want to make sure everyone understands this is my decision. I’m not

sick. I’m not dissatisfied. I’m not getting pushed. It happens to all of us. The time comes.”

The school said Foley will officially step down Oct. 1.

The 63-year-old Foley informed his staff and head coaches of the move Monday morning, calling it quits after four decades at Florida.

He started in the ticket office in 1976, became a fulltime employee a few months later and needed just five years to become an assistant athletic director. His rise continued until he was named AD in 1992.

Although Foley didn’t hire Spurrier, he brought a distinguished list of coaches

to Gainesville while molding one of the Southeastern Conference’s elite programs.

Donovan and Meyer were among his best hires. Each won a pair of national championships.

Under Foley, the Gators won national titles in 13 different sports. They had won nine championships in five sports before he took over.

He is one of two sitting ADs — along with UCLA’s Dan Guerrero — to have won at least one national title in each of the last seven years.

The ITF dismissed an appeal by Dorofeyeva and ruled that she deserved a four-year ban because “a doctor set-

cats outhit Mississippi State 18-7.

“We achieved a lot,” Mississippi State coach John Cohen said. “But we wanted to get to Omaha.”

Mississippi State was cruising after Rooker’s second homer of the night in the eighth inning put the Bulldogs up 5-1. But Arizona’s Aguilar quieted the crowd of 13,452 with his 3-run shot over the right field wall.

“I think that after I hit that everyone believed more than ever we could win that game,” Aguilar said. “It just gave us that extra boost of confidence we needed to pull it out.”

Mississippi State still led 5-4 going into the ninth, but Alfonso Rivas — another Arizona freshman — hit a game-tying single. The Bulldogs were able to send the game into extras when Smith managed to coax a strikeout and groundout to end the inning.

It didn’t work out for

Smith as well in the 11th inning. Salazar didn’t hit the ball particularly hard, but it found a hole on the right side.

“I knew he was throwing a lot of sliders, so I was sitting on a slider,” Salazar said. “I got my pitch and executed.”

Arizona’s Cameron Ming pitched two scoreless innings of relief to earn his third win of the season. He also earned the save in the Wildcats’ game one victory on Friday.

Arizona has won 12 of 13 games heading into next weekend’s College World Series.

Gibbons had four hits and Salazar added three.

Bobby Dalbec hit a solo homer in the second inning one night after pitching 82/3 scoreless innings to lead the Wildcats in game one.

Mississippi State’s last appearance in the College World Series was in 2013, when the Bulldogs finished as the national runner-up after losing in the championship series to UCLA.

Players from all of Larry Johnson’s teams over the years showed up at a surprise retirement ceremony at New Site.

JOHNSON CONTINUED FROM 10A

Braves to a state championship runner-up finish to Oxford in 1996.

“I have never kept up with records,” said Johnson, who will turn 67 in May. “I have won

a bunch and I have lost a bunch.” During Johnson’s time on the bench, he has coached both boys and girls. “In my experience, girls are more coachable and easier to win with, but there is also more drama,” said the

coach. “You can coach boys harder … they are more talented, but harder to win with.”

New Site honored the veteran coach with a surprise ceremony late in the season. Players from all of his teams over the

years showed up.

“That was special I had no clue it was going to happen,” he said with a smile. Johnson already has plans on how to spend his time.

“I am going to enjoy time with my grandchil-

dren,” he said. “I’m in position to see them when I want to now.”

The 2017 basketball season is going to be a little different in Prentiss County. Johnson, who has been a fixture when it comes high school bas-

ketball, will not be on the bench in late October.

“You know when it’s time because of the everyday grind,” said the coach. “It has never been about me … it has been about the kids having success.”

History lesson: ‘I am your American flag’

BY JAMES F. BURNS Columnist

I’ve been to the moon.

I’ve been burned. But more often I’m honored.

I’m your American flag.

With thirteen stars for colonies clamoring for freedom, I was first flown at Fort Stanwix in New York in 1777 — and then carried into battle for the first time at Brandywine in Pennsylvania. By war’s end, I was saluted as the emblem of a sovereign nation, new and free.

I’m your American flag.

But challenges lay ahead. With fifteen stars

and fifteen stripes, I survived shock and shell at Fort McHenry in Baltimore in 1814. With the aid of rockets’ red glare and bombs bursting in air, I was spied from afar at dawn’s early light by a patriot poet. I was then celebrated in sight and song by a fledgling nation.

I’m your American flag.

A half century later and with thirty-three stars and thirteen stripes, I was saddened to see our nation divided. Our brothers’ blood was spilt in battle north and south. But by war’s end, Lincoln’s

iconic words at Gettyburg prevailed — a unique nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

But that pledge was yet to be fully fulfilled.

I survived mustard gas and ghastly death in European trenches in WW I and, forty-eight stars strong, was hoisted by six soldiers on Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima in WW II. I’m proud to be your American flag.

I was carried into battle over frozen turf in Korea,

waved more proudly on flagpoles here at home with civil rights and women’s rights rising, and was saluted by a little boy as the horse-drawn caisson with his father’s casket passed by on the streets of our nation’s capital. It was the best of times and the worst of times, but through it all, I was your American flag.

I lost sons and daughters in the rice paddies and hellish jungles of Vietnam, saw some succumb to Agent Orange, and witnessed renewed conflict about taking me,

your American flag, to faraway lands like Iraq and Afghanistan. When and where warfare should be waged is an issue still troubling us today.

But most of all I represent the American spirit, the indomitable demand and yearning for freedom, excellence, and opportunity. I am not the flag of a ruling regime or royal family. I am the American flag, representing rights emanating from a higher and transcendent authority honored on our coinage.

Look up to me as you

salute or stand at attention. Pledge yourself to fulfill lofty goals symbolized by my heavenly skyblue field for fifty stars.

With red for valor and zeal and white for hope and purity, look up and salute with pride what the patriot poet hailed as a worthy star-spangled banner.

May it forever wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave.

(Daily Corinthian columnist James F. Burns is a retired professor at the University of Florida.)

Avoid close encounters with harmful, venomous spiders

BY LESLIE BURGER MSU Extension Service

STARKVILLE — Warmer days motivate many people to tackle cluttered closets, disorganized garages and idle storage buildings. But before pulling out neglected boxes of junk, consider who — or what — might have taken up residence in the dark, undisturbed piles.

Brown recluse spiders like to live in warm, dry, undisturbed places in Southern and Midwestern states. They are as secretive and reclusive as their name implies.

Some spiders build webs out in the open to catch flying insects, but brown recluses’ webs are not the classic, orderly web shape seen in Halloween decorations. Instead, recluses build a messy shelter of web inside a hidden spot.

In the wild, brown recluses prefer to make their homes under bark or fallen trees, which give them shelter from harsh weather. In homes, recluses are commonly

found in cardboard boxes, under the sheets of guest beds, in the corners of garages and sheds, and inside old shoes, gloves and the like. They are also found in bathtubs or around toilets.

Sharing your home with the occasional daddy longlegs is not a big deal, but brown recluses are venomous and potentially harmful to people.

Brown recluses are medium-sized spiders, usually about the size of a nickel. Occasionally, they’ll get as big around as a quarter. Recluses are generally light brown, but they can be almost white to dark brown. Their backs display a dark, fiddleshaped pattern, oriented so the “neck” of the fiddle is pointed away from the head. Sometimes, other kinds of spiders are mistaken for brown recluses.

For example, wolf spiders and some other arachnids have stripes and other shapes on their backs. The legs of brown recluses taper down to

The dark, fiddle-shaped pattern on the back of the brown recluse helps distinguish it from other spiders. Because of their reclusive nature, watch out for these venomous spiders in dark, neglected areas. small “feet.” There are no stripes, spots, bands or spines on their legs.

Another unique feature on brown recluses is the number of eyes. Most spiders have eight eyes,

You’re always on the winning team with us!

but the brown recluse has only six. These six eyes are arranged in pairs that form a triangle pattern on the recluse’s head.

The concern about brown recluses comes from the toxin they can inject when they bite.

Their venom can cause the death of tissue (necrosis) around the bite location. Fortunately, most brown recluse bites heal

without special medical attention. If you suspect a wound could be caused by a bite from a brown recluse, seek medical attention immediately to help rule out similar issues, such as a staph infection or MRSA, the common reference for methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Bites from brown recluses are often painless,

making it more difficult to track down the potential culprit. If you think you have been bitten by a recluse, monitor the site for complications that may develop. As with other insect bites or stings, a blister or reddened spot at the bite site is the first symptom. Mild to more intense pain with itching may follow in two to eight hours, similar to that caused by a wasp sting.

Simple first aid practices such as rest, pain-relief medications and ice to reduce swelling will help healing. If an open sore or ulcer begins to develop about a week later, seek professional medical attention immediately.

To avoid the potential for brown recluse bites, spring clean cautiously.

Wear gloves to protect your hands. Open boxes and other little-used items with care, taking time to look under flaps for any stowaways. Shake out shoes, boots and gloves that have not been worn in a year, and wash bedding before putting your houseguests into that little-used bedroom.

Simple precautions such as these can help prevent an unplanned trip to the doctor’s office this spring.

big like last year, and the year after, you get a break,” said Jacinto Foundation Executive Director Beth Whitehurst. “I look forward to this year sometimes more than the big years because it’s more relaxed.”

Three county school board races could draw a few speakers. Election commissioners are also on the ballot. A year such as this might also draw a congressman or two and perhaps a Mississippi Supreme Court candidate.

The foundation is still hopeful to open the historic courthouse for the festival. After a delay, a contractor has just completed work on the bricks where there was a hole associated with some structural re-

pairs to correct a failed window lintel which had extensive termite damage, allowing the masonry above the window to move out of position. Stabilization of the floors is still to be done.

The park is now open and its trails clear.

“It’s a great place to go and have a picnic,” said Whitehurst.

There is no deadline this year for arts and crafts vendors or politicians to get involved in the festival. Any musical performers that would like to get involved should contact the foundation.

Launched in 1979, the festival has been held annually except for one skipped year in the early going.

tion that’s it’s stressful enough. You will want to find an agency you trust to take care of building your family,” she said. “I know that Bethany prays for their waiting families, birth families and children. I know they take their ministry seriously.

I call them a ministry, because that’s what they are. Not only are they an adoption agency, but they minister to families, children, and birth families.

And that doesn’t end after the papers are signed.

They have a heart for the people involved in adoptions, not just adoption itself.”

Through Bethany, the couple was able to adopt two children who they’ve raised from birth: their daughter, Millie Janalee, who will be 4 this summer, and their son, Smith,

in St. Louis during our short time there. Obviously, they are passionate about the work they do.

I have seen the Bethany staff cry, rejoice, and pray over clients on all sides of adoption. I have seen them love our birthmothers. And I have felt the peace of their prayers for us and felt safe in the embrace of their hugs,” said a thankful Megan.

“My experience with Bethany is like watching the hands and feet of Christ loving people. Lynn Mullins, the Columbus director, has a heart for every person she serves. The Columbus office covers all of Northeast Mississippi and surrounding areas. I know she considers this her mission field.”

Before becoming the parents of their two bouncing infants, the couple first had to clear the hurdles of adoption.

“Once we began the initial paperwork, it took about three months to work through our home study, which includes lots and lots of paperwork!

There are many questions regarding your marriage, family, personal and financials. We had a joint interview and individual interviews discussing those topics,” explained Megan who considers it all to have been worthwhile. “A home study also includes financial statements, government background checks, personal, professional, and spiritual references as well as details about your home and neighborhood.”

“Finally there is a home visit. Once the home study was completed, we were approved to adopt and were officially a waiting family. The waiting after the home study varies. Birthparents choose from a host of family profile books. They also work with a birthmother counselor who prayerfully wades through families attempting to find the perfect family for her child,” she continued.

“For Millie Janalee, we waited 11 months before we were chosen. For Smith, we were chosen very fast – the same summer we were approved!

Most families can expect to wait anywhere from weeks (which is rare) to years. It can be a very difficult time – it’s probably the most difficult part of it all.”

Though the waiting was tough, Megan says she is full of gratitude.

“I have so much gratitude for the incredible love their birthmothers (and birthfathers) have for them and the choices they made for the good of their children. And at the same time, I forget I didn’t give birth to them!

“Some of my favorite moments are watching Millie Janalee playing and realizing she is just like me! And then moments later, I look at her and she is so much like her birthmother. It makes me smile,” she said. “I can look at Smith’s face and know exactly where certain attributes come from. Dimples from her, cowlick from him.”

“We are blessed to have so many answers for their inevitable questions. We look at our family pictures and know that God knew just what He was doing. He formed our family ... and at the same

time brought beauty from ashes,” she added. “I can’t help but feel privileged to be a part of His love story for my babies.”

Megan and Russ consider themselves blessed to have found Bethany and hope that by sharing their story, more prospective moms and dads will choose the agency.

Their advice for others wishing to adopt: • Spend a lot of time in prayer and keep an open mind as you process the information and the direction God wants you to take.

• Choose an agency you trust (as stated before).

• Try to view the adoption through the eyes of the one who will carry your child. Picture yourself in her position ... making the mature and loving decision to give her child a life she cannot – a child she loves. A child she talked to each night as she laid in bed with her hands on her growing tummy. A child she birthed. A child she heard cry his or her first cry. Remember, she was the first to love and care for your child. Having this perspective will help you through the difficult process. All is worth it for the love a child! Sharing a precious and rare love for a child that God perfectly planned and created.

• Have a good support system. We could not have made it without the support of our prayer warriors and the countless friends, family, and even many we don’t know who helped us financially when we began our first adoption in 2011. I remember like it was yesterday standing at our tent during Green Market that May (during the Coke race) selling t-shirts to help raise the funds we needed. The love and support of Corinth is embedded in my heart. I also blogged through our journey at www.russandmegan.blogspot.com. It was therapeutic for me, and we gained so much support from readers.

• Do not let finances scare you away from adoption. Bethany is not looking to place children with those with high incomes. Of course, they want to be sure a family is financially capable to care for a child, but Bethany is looking to place children in the homes of loving, stable families. They take that responsibility very seriously, as they should.

Be creative as you try to save money for adoption services. Do some fundraising. Ask for help. Allow others to help you!

You do not have to do this alone.

Both graduates of Corinth High School and Mississippi State University, the couple now resides in Tupelo, where Russ is a cardiothoracic radiologist with Premier Radiology and Megan is a stay at home mom after having taught elementary school in Jackson Public Schools for several years.

She currently serves on the Columbus board for Bethany Christian Services, where the adoption agency is preparing to host its biggest fundraising event of the year – a benefit banquet at Lion Hills Center and Golf Course on Oct. 13.

The free banquet will include a silent auction, testimonies, a dinner and an opportunity for others to join in to help Bethany continue its work.

“We are looking for businesses to help underwrite the expenses of the banquet,” said an excited Lynn Mullins. “We are also looking for donations for our silent auction.

(A nonprofit organization, Bethany Christian Services is run solely on donations. For more information or to donate contact Lynn Mullins at the Columbus office at 662-327-6740. To learn more about Bethany visit www.bethany.org.)

This Father’s Day, grab dad and gather around the grill or try a new technique that’s rising in popularity – smoking – to create a masterpiece meal – and plenty of memories – together.

From secret marinades to tricked out grills and smokers, competitive smokers know there is a near ritualistic approach to teasing the perfect flavor out of a premium cut of meat. Follow in the footsteps of those pit masters and smoke like a pro with these tips from Omaha Steaks Executive Chef Karl Marsh.

I

Rinse brisket with vinegar, then water.

Start with style The first step is deciding how you’d like to prepare your meat. Consider stepping up your game by smoking your meat. Smoking is a popular choice because it infuses flavor throughout the meat, while extended cook times at low temperatures make it extra tender.

Another advantage is the chance to create a wide range of unique flavors using wet and dry rubs, as well as seasoned wood chips and planks.

Choose your cut Virtually any meat can be smoked, but the most popular cuts of meat to smoke are brisket, ribs, pork shoulder or turkey, all of which are typically large in size. Guarantee a great experience with Omaha Steaks Brisket for smoking or Whole Pork Butt, which were created with the competitive barbecue and smoking circuit in mind.

Dry meat and prepare rub.

Ready your rub Rubs are often used to add flavors and surface texture to a cut of meat. For best results, brush meat with cooking oil or another liquid ingredient (such as yellow mustard) before adding the rub. Spread the rub on a clean plate and place the meat on it. Coat both sides with the rub by gently pressing the meat on the plate.

Set up the smoker Some pit masters consider their equipment as vital an ingredient as the meat or flavorings they choose. Preparation varies from one recipe to the next, but one constant is the importance of maintaining a steady temperature. As you prepare your charcoal, be conscious of where you’ll place any wood chips or other flavor enhancers for maximum impact.

Coat meat generously with rub.

Slow and steady Sensational flavor takes time to build, so plan to dedicate several hours to your task. Often, smoked foods require foil wrapping for at least a portion of the cook to retain moisture. Plan to check in at regular intervals to restock wood chips, flip or rotate meat and apply a fresh coat of seasoning or spices.

Prep time: 1 hour Cook time: 11-13 hours Rest time: 1-2 hours Total time: 13-16 hours 1 Whole Omaha Steaks Brisket for smoking 2 cups white vinegar 2/3 cup yellow mustard 3/4 cup Omaha Steaks Ancho Chile Rub 4 cups Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer, divided (recipe below) 8 cups apple or cherry wood chips, soaked in water Remove brisket from bag and rinse with white vinegar then rinse with water.

Dry completely using paper towels.

Slather brisket generously with yellow mustard.

Rub generously with ancho chile rub and inject with 1 cup Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer.

Prepare smoker using 1 chimney of pure lump charcoal fully lit and one chimney of pure lump charcoal unlit. Make sure water pan is full and adjust vents until smoker maintains a temperature between 225 and 250 F. Place brisket on smoker fat side up and brush smoking spritzer over top.

Every hour, check smoker temp, squirt with smoking spritzer and add handful of wood chips.

After 3 hours, flip brisket fat side down and squirt with spritzer.

After 6 hours, flip brisket fat side up. Wrap heavy duty foil around the last 3-4 inches of brisket tip to prevent it from drying out. Restock water pan and add lump charcoal as needed. Adjust vents until temperature is between 225 and 250 F. Beginning at 8 hours, check internal temperature every hour and apply spritzer and wood chips as needed.

Between 11-13 hours, when internal temperature is between 195 and 200 F, if fork slides easily into brisket, it is done.

Let brisket rest for 1-2 hours before slicing and serving.

Ancho Chile Rubbed Smoked Pork Butt Prep time: 1 hour Cook time: 8-10 hours Rest time: 1 hour Total time: 10-12 hours 1 Omaha Steaks Whole Pork Butt 2 cups white vinegar 1/2 cup yellow mustard 1/2 cup Omaha Steaks Ancho Chile Rub 4 cups Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer, divided (recipe below) 8 cups apple or cherry wood chips, soaked in water Score top fat so it will melt into pork while smoking and allow more rub to get into meat. Rub pork with white vinegar then rinse with water. Pat dry with clean paper towels.

Rub pork butt with yellow mustard. Rub pork butt with ancho chile rub. Inject pork with 10-12 ounces of Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer.

Set up smoker with 1 chimney using unlit lump charcoal and 2 chimneys using lit lump charcoal.

Adjust vents in smoker until temperature settles between 225 and 250 F. Place pork butt fat side up and add a lot of wood chips.

Every half hour, add more wood chips and spritz pork with smoking spritzer.

After 2 hours, insert remote thermometer probes. Be careful not to let thermometer touch bone to prevent false readings.

After 5 hours, place pork in foil pan and liberally coat with spritzer.

Wrap pan tightly with foil.

Continue cooking without adding wood chips or opening smoker until thermometer hits 190 F (for sliced meat) or 200 F (for pulled meat), about 8-10 hours total.

Let rest 1 hour before serving.

Remember to honor the flag on Flag Day WIZARD OF ID

PICKLES

Dear Readers: Today is Flag Day. We promised to print some of the patriotic poems that readers have been sending in for July 4, but we thought this one would be perfect for today. The author is Audrey Bashlor.

Honor our flag of red, white and blue, remembering our war heroes brought freedom to you.

Men and women of today and years past fought with valor so our freedoms would last.

The colonials bravely fought the British redcoats; our warriors fought the Nazis and their Uboats.

Many wars have been fought through the ages filling our history books with a great many pages.

So very long ago our independence was declared; something for over 200 years we have all shared.

Raise the flag, rejoice this day, strike up the band, people of many races enjoy freedom in this land.

Remember our brave men and women who fought giving their lives to

Annie’s Mailbox keep the freedoms we sought.

Give thanks to those in our armed forces today Respect our flag and to them a “thank you” say.

Dear Annie: The use of hyphenated names seems to be becoming too commonplace. Once the domain of Britishers yearning for social distinction, is this what is happening in the States? What is the rationale for thus naming oneself?

Having both memory and hearing problems, it is often difficult for me to comprehend and repeat both names. Is it acceptable to select one name instead of using both? Is it possible for those who introduce others to actually say the word “hyphen”?

For example, “This is Mr. Jones hyphen Smith.”

Not only would it help to select between the names, it would increase my awe of what surely must be a distinguished person. — Bryan, Texas Dear Bryan: Dear Bryan: Had your fun, have you? The point of a hyphenated name in this country is nei-

ther to display one’s elevated social status nor to become burdensome to others.

It is to acknowledge that two people have joined their names, as well as themselves, in marriage, or to denote that two people produced a child. It used to be that only the man’s surname counted. We agree that, sometimes, those hyphenates can be overly long or complicated. But people are entitled to be addressed by the name they prefer. Please do your best with it. Of course, if you fumble too much, the person is likely to say, “Please, just call me Tom.” Dear Readers: Today is Flag Day and the 37th Annual National Pause for the Pledge of Allegiance at 7 p.m.

The ‘General Dodge Line’ of earthworks T h e “Dodge Line” of Earthworks Something that Tom has always Parson fascinated me about Park Ranger Corinth during the war years is the earthworks. The sheer volume of dirt which was moved is simply mind boggling.

Massive walls and wide ditches appeared across the landscape, sometimes literally overnight, and it was all done by pick and shovel; not a backhoe or bulldozer to be found.

During the Siege of Corinth, in the spring of 1862, the Union army created miles of earthworks as part of the offensive to take the city. Many of these are still out there to the north and east of town. There were even more earthworks built to defend the city.

The individual defense projects were named for the army commander who oversaw their construction and were christened as the “Beauregard Line,” “Halleck Line,” and “Rosecrans Line.”

Surprisingly, the greatest venture of all came after the Battle of Corinth and though the new defensive line was strong, it would never be tested in battle.

This final line of earthworks was not given a name; I like to call it the “Dodge Line.”

Grenville Mellen Dodge was born in Massachusetts in 1831 and at the age of 17 he entered Norwich University in Vermont and pursued a course in engineering.

In 1851 he set out on a career in railroading and never looked back. He started out as an “axeman” but quickly moved on to surveying, and in the blink of an eye he was the chief engineer of the Mississippi & Missouri Railroad. He oversaw the construction of most of the railroads in Iowa and did some of the preliminary line surveys for the proposed trans-continental railroad.

On Aug. 13, 1859, Abraham Lincoln was in Council Bluffs, Iowa to give a speech. The following day Lincoln was introduced to the young engineer as a man who knew more about railroads than “any two men in the country.”

Lincoln pulled him away for a private conversation and cut right to the chase: “Dodge, what’s the best route for a Pacific railroad to the West?” Dodge definitely had an opinion on the matter and they talked for hours.

When the war broke out Dodge organized the “Council Bluff Guards,” one of the first companies raised in Iowa. He declined the offer of a commission in the regular army and was soon appointed colonel of the 4th Iowa Infantry. His initial service was in Missouri where he was wounded in the leg (No. 1), in a minor engagement. He was elevated to command of a brigade and did well at the Battle of Pea Ridge despite a nasty wound in the side (No. 2). For his service in the fight he was promoted to brigadier general.

Once he had sufficiently healed, Gen. Dodge came to Corinth for the first time and met with Gen. Henry Halleck at the Verandah House. Halleck gave him the command of a division and sent him off to Columbus, Ky., the northern terminus of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad. Halleck didn’t want

Gen. Grenville Dodge (seated at left) and his staff on the grounds of the Verandah House. A model of Corinth fortifications is on the table.

Dodge to fight; he wanted him to fix the tracks of the M. & O. By August the line had been reopened and a steady stream of supplies began to flow southward.

Gen. Dodge returned to Corinth in late October and was given command of the 2nd Division of the Army of the Tennessee.

Two weeks later Grant put him in command of the Corinth garrison and he would remain here for a year.

He moved into the Allen house on Bunch Street (later known as the Borroum House) but he didn’t stay for long. He soon moved his luggage into the Verandah House, which was diagonally across the public square.

Many important events occurred in the city during Dodge’s tenure. He organized the Contraband Camp and directed the recruitment of the 1st Alabama Infantry of African Descent as well as several companies for other colored regiments.

He organized the 1st Alabama Cavalry (US) from loyal men in the area, created a groundbreaking intelligence service utilizing a vast network of spies, and personally led a number of highly successful expeditions and raids.

All of this is well and good, but I’m here to talk about the work he accomplished on the defenses of Corinth.

The earthworks around the city had played a major role in both the siege and battle of Corinth, but in both cases the defenses didn’t stop the enemy (blue or gray) from getting into town. Dodge set out to ensure this would never happen again.

He began up on College Hill. There already were three strong forts on this bit of high ground southwest of the town; Batteries Phillips, Tanrath and Lothrop.

Brig. Gen. Grenville M. Dodge Massive walls were created to form four new forts: Batteries Sweeney, Rice, Rombauer and Weaver.

Then the seven forts were connected with walls 8 feet high. The massive complex included the Corona College hospital, the camps of two regiments of infantry, and the headquarters of Brig.

Gen. Thomas Sweeney, who was staying in the home of Corinth resident Thomas Peters.

The enclosure was known as Fort Jones.

Every time you drive on Hwy 72 between K-Mart and Abe’s Grill you are passing through the heart of this huge fort.

But Dodge didn’t stop there. All of the existing forts were enlarged and an additional eight bat-

teries were created.

The relatively small Battery Robinett is a good example. A new wall was added, 8 feet high and 12 feet thick, which stretched the 400 feet from the fort to the tracks of the Memphis & Charleston. This new wall was topped with a palisade of sharpened 2-foot thick logs, which raised the wall an additional 4 feet.

Twenty feet away was another wall just as big and just as wide. The two massive walls created a “covered way” that provided protection for men and wagons moving between Battery Williams and Battery Robinett.

Over on the north side, little Battery Powell became BIG Battery Powell. Another 2-wall “covered way” ran from

Taylor & 3rd streets to the southwest. The main line passed directly under First Baptist Church, took a left on Polk Street and stopped behind the Verandah House. Just for fun they threw in a couple of new forts along the way.

In all, 12 new defensive forts were built in town as well as another 11 along the Memphis & Charleston from Germantown to Glendale (Glen).

So who did all the digging and sweating? For the most part it was the recently freed runaway slaves known as Contrabands.

Many of the male residents of the camp chose to enlist in the army; the remainder were put to work on the fortifications. (The hundreds of acres of cotton and vegetables at the Contraband Camp were tended by women, children and older men).

It was hard work but it was a far better deal than slavery. They were given food, clothes, boots and a monthly wage: the first money of their very own.

Many of the regiments in the Corinth garrison had engaged contrabands to do camp chores, in fact so many were employed that Gen. Dodge had to set limits so that he could keep his fortification projects fully manned.

To keep the bored white troops out of mischief, they were also put to work on the forts when they were not otherwise involved with raids or expeditions.

In the spring of 1863, Gen. Dodge was summoned to the White House to what he believed would be a Court of Inquiry. Back in November he had armed the contrabands without authority to do so.

“I was somewhat alarmed, thinking possibly I was to be called to

account.” Not to worry, the president had summoned Dodge to resume their previous conversation on the trans-continental railroad.

Members of the administration tried to get Dodge to resign his commission and get busy with the new line that would span the continent; he refused.

“I have buried some of my best friends in the South, and I intend to remain there until we can visit their graves under the peaceful protection of that flag that every loyal citizen loves to honor and every soldier fights to save.”

Dodge left Corinth at the end of October ’63, and joined Gen. Sherman near Chattanooga. He commanded a corps during the Atlanta campaign and at a key point he personally led a division into the fray. It was outside of Atlanta that Dodge suffered a wound to the head (No. 3), though he soon recovered and was promoted to major general.

Grenville Dodge resigned his general’s commission in 1866, but his service to his country was far from over. The crowning achievement of a very full life was his direction of the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad, which met the Central Pacific at Promontory Summit, Utah, on May 10, 1869.

Though not a member of the West Point fraternity, Gen. Dodge was one of the most respected soldiers and engineers of his day, and his work not only transformed Corinth, it transformed our nation.

Grenville Dodge died in 1916 and is buried in the Walnut Hills Cemetery, Council Bluff, Iowa.

Shiloh park hosts Americana concert SHILOH, Tenn. — Shiloh National Military Park will present its second of five Concerts-in-the-Park on Saturday, June 18 in commemoration of the National Park Service’s 100th anniversary.

The five-part concert series celebrates the various genres of music that encompass the American catalog, with one concert a month from May to September. The June 18 show is a free concert on the front lawn of the park’s Visitor Center and will feature Americana Music.

The music will kick-off at 5:30 p.m. with local Pickwick based folk-rock artist Papertrader. This singer-songwriter refers to his music as “stomp music for the righteous and the rascals” and he recently released a fivesong debut EP. The second act on the bill is Mason Jar Fireflies from Memphis. This soul driven, rootsy, countryrock trio is fronted by female singer Kyndle McMahan. The band’s self-proclaimed “Rhythm and Greens” sound might be described as Detroit meets Nashville. Mason Jar Fireflies has a little something for every kind of listener, with their resonate, rootsy, and soulful sounds.

The three bandmates seamlessly mold their individual, stand-alone talents together to cover all the key parts of what makes a great band: a singer, a songwriter, and a signature sound. Through their combined talents,

the Mason Jar Fireflies blend contemporary pop sensibilities with nostalgic, “down-home” roots music. MJF has played extensively in Memphis, and from Muscle Shoals to Music Row, including the Sam Phillips family concert series.

Headlining the evening will be National Park Radio, a five-piece Indie-Folk band from the Ozarks of Arkansas.

NPR blends folk, country, and bluegrass, with solid song-writing and harmonies to create a unique, song-focused sound featuring beautiful lyrics, vocals, and harmonies.

They have a 5-song EP out now, and have spent most of April and May on the road. The band’s goal during the National Park Service’s centennial celebration is to play in as many national parks as possible in 2016.

The concert is free of charge and the public is invited to bring lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets.

A Junior Park Ranger booth will be set up for kids of all ages starting at noon and the “Friends of Shiloh” organization will also be on hand selling bottled water, sports drinks, and snacks to raise money for the Friends projects at Shiloh. Ranger led programs and tours will be offered during the day.

(For more information on this and other events at Shiloh, go to www.nps. gov/shil or call the Visitor Center at 731-689-5696.)

With their resonate, rootsy and soulful sounds, the Mason Jar Fireflies appeal to a variety of audiences.

History comes alive on Natchez Trace Parkway My daughter, Jessica, and I have traveled the Natchez Trace Parkway in Mississippi several times during the past few months.

Even though the maximum speed limit is only 50 mph – which we were

reminded of by a very nice National Park Service ranger – her navigation guide shows it is the quickest route to Jackson by 20 minutes.

Despite the fact we always seemed to be in a hurry to meet her mar-

ket schedule in the Jackson area, Jessica pulled over a few times to let me read the markers on the historical trace. Peering into the dense woods and grassy fields that surrounded the area, I could feel the depth of his-

tory that lingered there.

One site I found q u i t e amazing Carol was the Humphreys Black Belt Overlook.

Columnist In the distant, I could see where the soil was composed of layers of different colors, with the top layer being a rich, fertile black. The various colors were caused by weathered limestone formed from the remains of marine life when an ocean covered this area millions of years ago.

Another site harbored a stream under a heavy canopy of trees.

The stream, which ran through a nearby valley, marked the unofficial boundary of the Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians. They had lived in this area for thousands of years until they were forced to move to Oklahoma in the 1830s.

I was also reminded of recent history as we drove along an eight-mile stretch of the parkway near Houston. Downed trees still showed evidence of the immense destruction caused by a series of tornadoes on April 27, 2011.

The present two-lane parkway, built to commemorate the original trace, only intersects it occasionally. Still, when I looked upon the brushy woodlands, creeks, fields and gently rolling hills, it was easy for me to conjure up images of travelers from the past – Indians, pioneers, fur trappers, tradesmen and farmers.

I also met two presentday travelers. One was a young man pushing a cart and the other, a small canine named Gypsy.

We were headed to just north of Jackson to set up Jessica’s tent, displays and artisan work for an outdoor festival the following day when Jessica suddenly shouted, “I just saw a puppy’s head pop up in that field!” I noted we were in the middle of nowhere on the trace and traveling 60 …. uh, 50 mph, so there was no way she had seen a puppy.

Ignoring me, she did a

Jason Evans is walking across America.

U-turn and parked along the side of road. To my astonishment, a small black head came bobbing up and down through the tall brush. To make a long, story short, I ended up sitting the rest of the way to Madison with a small puppy in my lap covered with ticks and fleas.

She is now a heathy, exuberant puppy I have to dodge every time I go into my back yard. I tease she is part gray fox because she has so much dusty gray in her dark fur.

The second traveler we encountered on the trace was not quite as scruffy and more dignified. I admit he did look like a homeless person at first as he had a hood pulled over his head and was pushing a fully-loaded cart. I began to wonder if Jessica ever kept her eyes on the road in front of her while driving when she told me he had a sign on the front of his cart that read, “Walking across America.”

We were on our way back home from Jackson, about 30 miles south of Tupelo. Jessica pulled off the road near to where the man was pushing his cart so I could get his story.

Meanwhile, cars raced by on the road beside us.

I’m pretty sure they were going faster than 50 mph.

Jason Evans, a native of Omaha, Neb., was on a “soul-searching” mission and had started his walking trip on March 10 in Myrtle Beach, S.C. “I generally stick to highways and avoid bigger cities because I don’t won’t to end up at the wrong place at the wrong time,” said the traveler.

One of the many unforeseen experiences he had encountered was the path he was taking down the Natchez Trace Parkway.

“I didn’t even plan on being in Mississippi,” said Evans. “When I was in Huntsville, Ala., I was going to go north toward Missouri, where I was going to cross the Mississippi River at Cape Girardeau. Looking at my map I saw there was no real safe place to cross the Ohio River to even get to the Mississippi River. I had to redo my routing and I saw where I could cross a big bridge in Greenville.”

The app he had on his phone for directions sent him across the Natchez Trace.

“I had never even heard of the Natchez Trace. I thought it was just a road until I started walking along it and read the historic markers along the way,” said Evans.

When I asked him how he was coping with his long journey, he commented several people had been stopping to give him food and water, and even donated money. He also stops in towns to

shore up on food and has plastic bins in his cart he keeps his gear in.

The pedestrian said he always takes care of his feet, first and foremost.

When he gets too “gross,” he finds a place to wipe himself down. Sometimes, he has been able to stay in a hotel where he does his laundry and takes a shower. A few times people have seen him traveling near their homes and have taken him in for a couple of nights.

Most of the time, he finds churches with tree cover to camp beside. On the trace, he said he has been “ducking into the trees and making camp.”

The “American Pedestrian,” as he calls himself on his Facebook page, started planning his trip last September. That is when the 35-year-old had a “moment” about what he wanted to do with his life.

“I was walking up a hill to work one day and thought, ‘What if I just kept on going?’” he said.

This thought planted a seed in Evan’s mind and when he got home, he began reading different Internet blogs on how to prepare for a trip walking across America.

“My goal is to get to the Pacific Ocean if that is what is planned for me,” said the traveler. “I have changed paths so many times since I started. I want to get to the West Coast before winter and I know crossing the desert is going to be tough.

I’d like to reach the coast by mid-October, just because it will start getting cool but not too terribly cold.”

Though he hasn’t found any answers yet, Evans said so far his arduous trip has been a rewarding experience.

“I’ve had moments in the past few years when my faith wavered, and I think that is why I was miserable with my life.

I decided to make this journey because I was obviously not living the life God wanted for me.

I prayed to Him, asking, ‘What am I supposed to do?’

“His response was to follow him. I ignored him for the better part of five years, got to another low point, prayed the same prayer and got the same answer. This time I decided to listen.”

I hope walking on a path surrounded by over 10,000 years of American history will help the young man find what he’s searching for.

In the meantime, Evans said, “I’m just glad to be here.”

FAMILY FEATURES

ad can be hard to shop for sometimes. Of course, he can never have too many ties, coffee mugs or tools. But doesn’t the man who taught you how to ride a bike, to play catch and to always try your best deserve something more personal and unique.

Sure, he will be happy regardless of what you get him, but why not help him enjoy more time with the interests he has outside of being a great father. Here are some Father’s Day gift ideas for every kind of dad – from the grill master to the car enthusiast and the clean freak to the hygiene centric and every kind of dad in between.
