Gun sales rise in wake of violent crimes August has been an interesting month for both the local police and investigators along with gun dealers after the rape and
robbery cases in Corinth. On Aug. 16, the Corinth Police department was faced with dealing with a rape victim at the Crossroads Regional Park. A few days later, on Aug. 19, the police

Two Kossuth High School students received a national award from the Future of Business Leaders of America’s (FBLA) National Awards Program recently. Riley Kuykendall and Kayla Willingham were awarded the FBLA-Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) National Award and placed eighth in the nation out of 60 participants. FBLA is the largest and oldest student business organization and held their National Leadership Conference (NLC) at the Hilton Anaheim back on June 27-30. Conference participants from around the country and the world were in attendance for the NLC and FBLA-PBL Institute for Leaders.
Corinth police are carrying new, more advanced firearms as they patrol the city streets. The department recently traded its 10-year-old, .40-caliber pistols for new Glock 9 mm Gen 4 pistols, and officers underwent training with Glock’s Charles Sumner, the law enforcement district manager for Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas.

Main Street Corinth is getting behind the idea of a green space for the city’s growing SoCo District. The group is working with Trey Albright and Stuart Green, developers of the retail store spaces popping up in the old Wick Street warehouse district, on their vision for a green space at the corner of Wick Street and Franklin Street to further enhance the new downtown hot spot. Main Street Director Taylor Coombs said the project is in the early stages of planning, and Main Street is applying for a couple of grants that would be used for the park. It is possible the vacant lot could also incorporate some parking spaces, she said. The property is owned by Albright and Green, who are gradually renovating the spaces in the long-dormant warehouse district. The project is one reason Main Street Corinth has bumped up its budget request
for the next fiscal year. The group received $12,000 in the current city budget and seeks to return to its past funding level of $20,000. Also, “We hope to expand our festivals and look to target a new audience to get more people coming into Corinth,” Coombs told the Board of Aldermen. In other budget requests before the city: ■ The animal shelter is requesting $75,000 to continue its contract with the city; it received $67,500 in the current budget. ■ District Clerk Sandy Mitchell with the Alcorn County Soil & Water Conservation District reported that the office is working with the Tombigbee River Valley Water Management District on a Bridge Creek cleanup project that will include areas east and west of Highway 45 and at the mouth of the Tuscumbia River, enhancing the city’s recent drainage work.

Corinth officers line up on the firing range for training wih the new pistols.
Charles Sumner, law enforcement district manager with Glock, shows Capt. Chuck Hinds some of the new features.
POLICE CONTINUED FROM 1A
Corinth PD Training Officer Chuck Hinds said many people have asked about the decision to go with a 9 mm fire-
arm now. “Bullet technology has advanced so much over the past 10 years,” said Hinds. “The poorer past per-
formance of the 9 mm has excelled to superior terminal ballistics.” These guns have a milder recoil, he said, translating into better
shot placement and follow shots. The department found this to be true with better scores achieved during qualifications.
Hinds said the guns also provide increased round capacity, and the cost of 9 mm ammunition is slightly less than the .40-caliber is cur-
rently. “It was just a win-win situation,” he said. With the trade-in, the department purchased the firearms for $5,080.
PBL. Individuals, state teams, and local chapters were encouraged to compete in any of the 50 different events representing a wide range of activities and the business and leadership development focus of the FBLAPBL. The winners of these highly competitive and prestigious awards were selected from among FBLA-PBL’s membership of 250,000 students and advisers and represent some of the best and brightest of today’s youth. Kuykendall said that this was the first time that a Kossuth student had competed in the category of “Stop Motion” video and it proved to be worth their while. “We took our video to
Jackson for its first stop to be judged,” Kuykendall said. “With that first place finish in Jackson, we qualified for the National Tournament in Anaheim and when we first got out there we were just expecting to go and have fun. We never imagined that we were going to win anything, much less get a first place award.” They may not have imagined that they were going to be rewarded for their hard work, but when they heard their names broadcast out over the public address system in front of over 100 people, they were more than surprised. “It was crazy when we heard them call out representatives for Kos-
suth High School as the overall winners for this category,” added Kuykendall. “We were frantic . . . shocked and we ran up to the stage and we just felt like this was way over our heads but we got our trophies and enjoyed the moment.” It was a moment in the spotlight for the two students who were rewarded with a high honor that came with the price of hard work. “Me and (Kayla) worked so hard on this together for four months working two or three days a week on this project and it obviously turned out to be a good experience for both of us.”

Things to do Today
SALES CONTINUED FROM 1A
Today is Sunday, Aug. 25, the 237th day of 2013. There are 128 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On August 25, 1943, U.S.-led Allied troops liberated New Georgia in the Solomon Islands from Japanese forces during World War II.
On this date: In 1537, King Henry VIII granted a royal charter incorporating the Honourable Artillery Company, the oldest regiment in the British Army. In 1718, hundreds of French colonists arrived in Louisiana, with some settling in present-day New Orleans. In 1825, Uruguay declared independence from Brazil. In 1916, the National Park Service was established within the Department of the Interior. In 1921, the United States signed a peace treaty with Germany. In 1944, Paris was liberated by Allied forces after four years of Nazi occupation. In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a measure providing pensions for former U.S. presidents and their widows. In 1960, opening ceremonies were held for the Summer Olympics in Rome. In 1981, the U.S. spacecraft Voyager 2 came within 63,000 miles of Saturn’s cloud cover, sending back pictures of and data about the ringed planet. In 1985, Samantha Smith, 13, the schoolgirl whose letter to Yuri V. Andropov resulted in her famous peace tour of the Soviet Union, died with her father in an airliner crash in Auburn, Maine. In 1993, Amy Biehl, a 26-year-old Fulbright scholar from Newport Beach, Calif., was slain by a mob near Cape Town, South Africa. (The four men convicted in Biehl’s death claimed the attack was part of the war on apartheid; they were granted amnesty after confessing before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.) In 2009, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy died at age 77 in Hyannis Port, Mass.
Ten years ago: A pair of car bombs killed 53 people in Mumbai, India. Rwandans re-elected Paul Kagame in their country’s first presidential election with opposing parties. Tennis champion Pete Sampras announced his retirement during a news conference at the U.S. Open in New York. NASA launched the Space Infrared Telescope Facility, also known as the Spitzer Space Telescope, into orbit.

nity have taken notice of the apparent increase in violent crimes. “Yes, everyone is talking about it all over town and it has been good for business,” said David Darwin, an employee of Lonnie’s Sporting Goods. “We have seen an increase in gun sales in general this year, but here lately we have really sold a lot of handguns and pepper spray to females that range from different ages. Some of them come in by themselves, some of them come in with their husband or boyfriend and some of them come in with other women too. They all say that since they heard about the rape case and the robberies that they want to make sure they can protect themselves.” Not only has Lonnie’s Sporting Goods seen a spike in handgun sales and pepper spray, other local businesses have also

“We have seen an increase in gun sales in general this year, but here lately we have really sold a lot of handguns and pepper spray to females that range from different ages.” David Darwin Employee, Lonnie’s Sporting Goods reported the same. Berry’s Trading Post and Big Boys Gun and Gold have both experienced more customers coming in and wanting to know about pistols, revolvers, and the different types of pepper sprays and stun guns as well. “Gun sales, in particular, have gone up around here since the crimes happened here at my place,” stated Frank Berry, owner of Berry’s Trading Post. “Not so much in pepper spray here so far although we have seen more women here over the last few days than we normally do.

of women that come in are buying guns that say they never have bought them but feel the need to do so now. This last increase we have seen is due to the recent crimes that we have had around here.” Big Boys co-owner Sammy Green reported much of the same around his place of business. Green noticed that his customers were coming in and talking about the rape case and the robbery that took place and wanted to know about his handguns and other items they could use for protection. “We first noticed all this
increase in gun sales, pepper spray and taser guns actually the day of, or the day after, the pair of shootings,” Green said. “Most of these folks were ladies and such and they wanted something they could use to defend themselves like a handgun or pepper spray. They ranged from mid20s to one lady who said she was 80 years old and concerned and scared and was going to protect herself.” These concerned citizens who are expressing their rights to bear arms in the United States and who are fed up with all the crime, have made their feelings known by taking action into their own hands. “In this day an age we have to protect ourself and one way to do that is to arm ourselves, and I have my daughter to look after so you do what you go to do,” April Bates added, a customer at Big Boys.

readers to choose their favorites and support their local business,” she said. Mitchell said the competition is all about honoring those in the community who work hard every day to care for each person who comes in their door and display the true meaning of customer service. First and second place
winners in each category receive a decal to be displayed in their business as a symbol of their customers’ support and satisfaction. “Each year the businesses look forward to getting that recognition from their customers that they’re still meeting the expectations of the people they serve,” she said.

Corinth, Miss.
Higher ed proposals could significantly impact Mississippi During a speech at New York’s University of Buffalo, President Obama called for a federal ratings system as a guideline for broader reforms of federal student financial aid. The proposal sounds good, but the devil as always is in the details. But it’s crystal clear that any federal rating system that is tied to the availability of federal student financial aid will be suspect for Mississippi universities and community colleges. During the 2012 election cycle, Obama bragged that douSid Salter bled the total amount of fundColumnist ing available for Pell grants. But critics argued that those grants were funded in part by the elimination of other student-friendly benefits like the inschool interest benefit on Stafford loans for graduate students and summer enrollment Pell benefits. Mississippi’s dependence on Pell Grants for a significant portion of higher education finance is longstanding. For FY 2009-2010, 96,179 Mississippi students received $415 million dollars in Pell Grants. $236.8 million of those grants went to state-supported institutions. In 2009, 42 percent of Mississippi university students received Pell grants. While the national average of college students receiving Pell Grants is 27 percent, the average in Mississippi is much higher — ranging in the 2008-2009 school year from 28 percent at Mississippi State University to 37 percent at Delta State University to 38 percent at the University of Southern Mississippi to 44 percent at Mississippi University for Woman to 68 percent at Jackson State University, 71 percent at Alcorn State University and 76 percent at Mississippi Valley State University. Data was unavailable for the University of Mississippi. At state private colleges, Pell Grants are part of the education finance landscape as well. In 2008-2009, 36 percent of Belhaven College students were Pell Grant recipients as were 34 percent at Mississippi College, 19 percent at Millsaps College and 76 percent at Tougaloo College. The average Mississippi college student, even with those federal grants, leaves college with $22,566 in debt. The Chronicle of Higher Education reports that Mississippi’s total undergraduate enrollment is 160,227 with another 20,911 in graduate school. Some 79,926 are in four-year universities and colleges while another 80,635 are enrolled in community colleges. About 89 percent are enrolled in public institutions. Mississippi universities produce $470 million research and economic development with just over 78 percent of that funded by the federal government or by the institutions. Only 15.6 percent of university research is funded by state or local governments. Federal student financial aid is a huge issue in Mississippi – the poorest state in the union. For all the public rhetoric of who will control the future of public health care, it’s inconceivable that some of those same voices won’t realize the folly of giving too much control of student financial aid to one part or one president. While the Pell Grant program is ripe for reform, turning the future of it over to an arbitrary, highly-politicized process is not the answer. (Correction — In my Aug. 22 column on the issue of Mississippi being one of the states that doesn’t provide air conditioning to Death Row inmates, I made an error when I wrote that the notorious “Little Alcatraz” Unit 17 has been closed in favor of a Unit 32. That’s true, but Unit 32 was later closed in 2010 following a prior ACLU litigation over prison conditions. The prison now houses Death Row inmates in Unit 29, according to state Department of Corrections spokesperson Tara Booth. My point remains valid — there’s a vast difference in maintaining a humane prison system and maintaining prisons that are comfortable. The victims of Death Row inmates are not comfortable and neither are their survivors. Daily Corinthian and syndicated columnist Sid Salter can be contacted at 601-5078004 or sidsalter@sidsalter.com.)

A verse to share “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.” — Isaiah 12:2-3
Dead souls of a cultural revolution On Aug. 16, Christopher Lane, a 22-year-old Australian here on a baseball scholarship, was shot and killed while jogging in Duncan, Okla., population 23,000. Police have three suspects, two black and one white. The latter said they were bored and decided to shoot Lane for “the fun of it.” As Lane was white and the shooter black, racism has surfaced as a motive. Thursday came reports that killing a white man may have been an initiation rite for the black teens in joining some offshoot of the Crips or Bloods. What happened in Oklahoma and the reaction, or lack of reaction to it, tells us much about America in 2013, not much of it good. Teenagers who can shoot and kill a man out of summertime boredom are moral barbarians, dead souls. But who created these monsters? Surely one explanation lies in the fact that the old conscience-forming and character-forming institutions — home, church, school, and a culture fortifying basic truths — have collapsed. And the community hardest hit is Black America. If we go back to the end of World War II, 90 percent of black families consisted of a mother and father and children raised and disciplined by their parents. The churches to which these
families went on Sundays were stronger. Black schools may have been largely segPat regated, but were Buchanan they also the Columnist transmission belts of patriotism and traditional values rooted in biblical truths and a Christian faith. Indeed, all of those character- and conscienceforming institutions of yesterday are in an advanced state of decline today. Seventy-three percent of black kids are born to single moms. Black kids who make it to 12th grade may often be found reading at seventh-, eighth- or ninthgrade levels. In some cities the black dropout rate can hit as high as 50 percent. Drugs are readily available. And among black males ages 18 to 29, in urban areas, often a third are in prison or jail, or on probation or parole, or walking around with a criminal record. Where do the kids get their ideas of right and wrong, good and evil? In homes where the father is absent and the TV is always on. From radios tuned in to rap and hip-hop. From films where Hollywood values prevail and the shooting never stops. From street gangs that sometimes form the only families these kids
have ever known. Still, crime has fallen since 1990, we are told. And so it has. But that is only because the baby boomers, the largest population cohort in our history, passed out of the highcrime age group a quarter of a century ago, and because the jail and prison population in America has tripled. What kind of leadership do we see today in Black America? What can be said for an NAACP that was lately demanding a Justice Department investigation of a rodeo clown running around a bull ring in rural Missouri in an Obama mask, but cannot find its voice to address a black-on-white atrocity in Middle America? When Trayvon Martin was shot to death in a murky incident in Sanford, Fla., Jesse Jackson rushed there to declare: “Blacks are under attack. ... Killing us is big business.” Trayvon was “shot down in cold blood by a vigilante ... murdered and martyred.” After Chris Lane’s coldblooded murder, Jesse tweeted: This sort of thing is to be “frowned upon.” If I had a son, said President Obama, he would have looked like Trayvon; 35 years ago, I could have been Trayvon. Can the president not find his voice to speak to the parents of Chris Lane? Since Lyndon Johnson took office, 50 years ago, we have spent trillions on
his programs for health care, housing, education, food stamps, welfare and civil rights. Are we living in that Great Society we were promised? In that same decade, we were told that the social, cultural and moral revolution on the campuses would rid us of the repressive oldtime morality and Old Time Religion, and lead to a more equal, just, humane and better America, a beacon to mankind. Yet, are not the killers of Chris Lane who shot him for the fun of it the “doyour-own-thing!” children of that cultural revolution? The death of Trayvon was said to be reflective of the real America, a country where black folks live in constant fear of white vigilantes and white racist cops. What nonsense. In the real America, interracial violence is overwhelming black-on-white. Even if the media will not report it, everybody knows it. And journalists will not dig into the numbers that prove it, for the truth would undermine their ideology and contradict the narrative that governs and gives meaning to their lives. For liberals, America is always “Mississippi Burning.” It just has to be that way. (Daily Corinthian columnist Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”)
Stop and frisk protects, not targets, minorities New York City seems on the verge of making the same mistake that Detroit made 40 years ago. The mistake is to abolish the NYPD practice referred to as stop and frisk. It’s more accurately called stop, question and frisk. People were stopped and questioned 4.4 million times between 2004 and 2012. But the large majority were not frisked. The effectiveness of this police practice, initiated by Mayor Rudy Giuliani in 1994 and continued by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is not in doubt. The number of homicides — the most accurately measured crime — in New York fell from a peak of 2,605 in 1990 to 952 in 2001, Giuliani’s last year in office, to just 414 in 2012. Nevertheless, the three leading Democratic mayoral candidates in the city’s September primary all have pledged to end stop and frisk. And last week, federal judge Schira Scheindlin, in a lawsuit brought by 19 men who have been stopped and frisked, found that the practice is unconstitutional and racially discriminatory. Bloomberg has promised

to appeal, and several of Scheindlin’s decisions in highprofile cases have been reMichael versed. But Barone the leading Democratic Columnist candidates for mayor promise, if elected, to drop the appeal. The two leading Republican candidates support stop and frisk, but their chances of election seem dim in a city that voted 81 percent for Barack Obama in 2012. What riles opponents of stop and frisk is that a high proportion of those stopped are young black and Hispanic males. Many innocent people undoubtedly and understandably resent being subjected to this practice. But young black and, to a lesser extent, Hispanic males are far, far more likely than others to commit violent crimes, as Bloomberg points out. I take no pleasure in reporting that fact and wish it weren’t so. This was recognized by, among others, Jesse Jack-
son. You can get an idea about what could happen in New York by comparing it with Chicago, where there were 532 homicides in 2012. That’s more than in New York, even though New York’s population is three times as large. One Chicagoan who supports stop and frisk is the father of Hadiya Pendleton, the 15-year-old girl shot down a week after singing at Barack Obama’s second inauguration. Chicago and New York both have tough gun control laws. But bad guys can easily get guns in both cities. The difference, as the New York Daily News’s James Warren has pointed out, is that frequent stops and frisks combined with mandatory three-year sentences for illegal possession of a gun mean that bad guys in New York don’t take them out on the street much. An extreme case of what happens when a city ends stop and frisk is Detroit. Coleman Young, the city’s first black mayor, did so immediately after winning the first of five elections in 1973.

became America’s murder capital. Its population fell from 1.5 million to 1 million between 1970 and 1990. Crime has abated somewhat since the Young years, but the city’s population fell to 713,000 in 2010 — just over half that when Young took office. People with jobs and families — first whites, then blacks — fled to the suburbs or farther afield. Those left were mostly poor, underemployed, in too many cases criminal — and not taxpayers. As a result, the city government went bankrupt last month. Those who decry stop and frisk as racially discriminatory should remember who is hurt most by violent crime — law-abiding residents of high-crime neighborhoods, most of them black and Hispanic, people like Hadiya Pendleton.

Marching for King: Task is not done WASHINGTON — Tens of thousands of people marched to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and down the National Mall on Saturday, commemorating the 50th anniversary of his famous speech and pledging that his dream include equality for gays, Latinos, the poor and the disabled. The event was an homage to a generation of activists that endured fire hoses, police abuses and indignities to demand equality for African Americans. There was a strong theme of unfinished business. “This is not the time for nostalgic commemoration,� said Martin Luther King III, the oldest son of the slain civil rights leader. “Nor is this the time for selfcongratulatory celebration. The task is not done. The journey is not complete. We can and we must do more.� Eric Holder, the nation’s first black attorney general, said he would not be in office, nor would Barack Obama be president, without those who marched. “They marched in spite of animosity, oppression and brutality because they believed in the greatness of what this nation could become and despaired of the founding promises not kept,� Holder said. Holder mentioned gays and Latinos, women and the disabled as those who had yet to fully realize Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream.
Others in the crowd advocated organized labor, voting rights, revamping immigration policies and access to local post offices. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., the only surviving speaker from the 1963 March on Washington, railed against a recent Supreme Court decision that effectively erased a key anti-discrimination provision of the Voting Rights Act. Lewis was a leader of a 1965 march, where police beat and gassed marchers who demanded access to voting booths. “I gave a little blood on that bridge in Selma, Ala., for the right to vote,� he said. “I am not going to stand by and let the Supreme Court take the right to vote away from us. You cannot stand by. You cannot sit down. You’ve got to stand up. Speak up, speak out and get in the way.� Organizers expected about 100,000 people to participate in the event.
Gender transition sets legal showdown WASHINGTON — Officials say Bradley Manning is likely the first transgender military inmate to ask for hormone treatments. And the request could lead to a legal showdown over how — and if — the soldier convicted in the WikiLeaks case will be allowed to live as a female behind bars. The Army Medical Command said Friday it’s dealing with the issue. But a spokeswoman says it would be

premature to say there is any movement to offer hormone therapy to all inmates. Manning is serving a 35-year sentence at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., for giving classified information to WikiLeaks. It’s a men’s prison that doesn’t offer hormone therapy. Federal prisons implemented a policy last year allowing institutions to provide hormone therapy for inmates diagnosed with gender dysphoria. But the Army medical policy doesn’t cover that kind of care.

Group pushes idea of nuclear storage JACKSON — A nonprofit group tied to energy businesses says Mississippi should consider becoming a storage place for used nuclear fuel. Representatives of the Mississippi Energy Institute will meet Monday at the state Capitol with the Senate Economic Development Committee. After that, they’ll have a closed-door meeting at the Old Capitol Inn with business people and Republican congressmen Alan Nunnelee and Gregg Harper. Patrick Sullivan, president of the Mississippi Energy Institute, tells The Clarion-Ledger that he believes the next growth in nuclear technologies will take place near storage facilities for used nuclear fuel. But the Sierra Club state director, Louie Miller, says Mississippi should not become a “radioactive dump.� Gov. Phil Bryant has pushed to diversify energy options, and his spokesman says Bryant is interested in learning about nuclear storage.
California vies for new space industry SAN FRANCISCO — California is racing other states to woo new private companies planning to take people on trips to space. State legislators are debating a bill that will shield spaceship manufacturers and parts suppliers from lawsuits if someone gets killed or injured on a voyage. The state enacted a law last year protecting space tourism companies like Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic. Space industry advocates expect such private ventures to be lucrative investments. Texas, Florida, Virginia, and New Mexico already have similar laws in attempts to lure the business. Several lawmakers say the state should not relax its liability standards since tourists should expect space ships to be safe.
Hospital association hiring new president TUPELO — The president of North Mississippi Medical Center-Tupelo is leaving the job he has held since mid-July. Tim Moore said he’ll become the new president and chief executive officer of the Mississippi Hospital Association in the next few weeks. The group represents more than 100 health care
organizations, and the leader often deals with the governor and lawmakers. Moore, 48, said that he’s happy with his job in Tupelo but sees the association job as a way to have a lasting impact on health care for the entire state. “I’m looking forward to the challenges and opportunities, and we have plenty of both,� he said. Hospital association spokeswoman Shawn Rossi said Moore will succeed Sam Cameron, who’s preparing for retirement and will be president emeritus of the group until June.
Arraignment set in drug case GULFPORT — Arraignment is scheduled Wednesday for a man charged in a south Mississippi drug case. Rodolfo Garcia Quintanilla is set to appear in U.S. District Court in Gulfport for arraignment on three counts, including racketeering. A criminal complaint in the case says Quintanilla was a passenger in a Chevrolet truck with Texas plates when he was pulled over on Interstate 10 in Harrison County on July 31. The complaint says officers were given permission to search the truck and found 3,618 grams of methamphetamine. The complaint says the deputy noticed Quintanilla’s hand shaking as he produced paperwork during the traffic stop and there was a strong smell of air freshener and perfume coming from the truck.
Court records said the woman driving the truck told the deputy that the couple were on vacation and headed to a casino in Mobile, Ala., but she didn’t know the name of it. The complaint says a piece of marijuana was found under the backseat of the truck and Quintanilla remained nervous when he signed a consent form to allow officers to search the vehicle. The complaint says four packages wrapped in foil were found taped between the headliner and the roof of the truck. A field test allegedly revealed that the packages contained methamphetamine. Quintanilla has been held without bond. He was indicted Aug. 20. Arraignment is Wednesday morning.

Man pleads not guilty to fraud
‘Think Tank” opens at MSU
ABERDEEN — A West Point man has pleaded not guilty to fraud charges accusing him of accepting unemployment benefits when he had a job. John White pleaded not guilty Thursday in U.S. District Court in Aberdeen. The indictment says he collected the benefits from August 2010 to July 2011. He’s charged with five counts, including making false statements to obtain the benefits. The indictment issued July 24 said White worked at Omnova Industries Inc. while he collected almost $11,000 in benefits. Several of the charges in the indictment are related to specific dates on which authorities said White lied in paperwork for the Mississippi Department of Employment Security to obtain unemployment benefits from the U.S. Department of Labor. Court records don’t list White’s age, but say he was born in 1968. Court records said White faces up to 10 years on count one, if convicted, and up to five years on each of the four counts of making false statements.

Lawyers fighting indictment JACKSON — A man suspected in the kidnapping deaths of his girlfriend and her daughter wants a Louisiana judge to throw out his indictment based on the argument that blacks were systematically excluded from the grand jury pool. Thomas Steven Sanders, who is white, is charged in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, La., in 12-year-old Lexis Roberts’ kidnapping death. Hunters found her body in Catahoula Parish, La., in October 2010. Her mother’s body was found later in Arizona. Both victims also are white. In 1994, Sanders was declared dead in Mississippi after walking away from his family in the 1980s and disappearing. But he resurfaced in the more recent deaths. Sanders was first indicted on a charge of kidnapping resulting in the child’s death in Louisiana in November 2010. A superseding indictment was issued in January 2011, adding the charge of using a firearm in a violent crime.

Cattle producers appreciate rains BY LINDA BREAZEALE MSU Ag Communications
STARKVILLE — Rains are taking some feed-cost pressure off Mississippi cattle producers as the end of summer approaches. Jane Parish, beef specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said summer droughts often reduce hay yields, and the resulting sparse grass in pastures can trigger hay feedings before the first frost hits. This year, rains across most of the state have had the opposite effect and kept grass abundant. “Whenever we get plenty of rain and pastures are looking good in August, cattle producers are more optimistic,� she said. “However, even under promising conditions, prudent financial and production management
of cattle herds is still important.� Parish said recent droughts in cattle-producing regions, both east and west of Mississippi, have driven cattle numbers down. “Cattle numbers as a whole have declined over the past few years in Texas, Georgia and their surrounding states, but Mississippi’s industry has been more stable. Mississippi’s bright spot has been stocker cattle, especially when drought areas sent animals here,� she said. “We have not seen as many replacement heifers, meaning there are fewer breeding animals, and the national herd numbers have shown this trend of decline,� she said. “This should mean good prices are coming in a few years.�

WASHINGTON — The latest high-tech disruption in the financial markets increases the pressure on Nasdaq and other electronic exchanges to take steps to avoid future breakdowns and manage them better if they do occur. The three-hour trading outage on the Nasdaq stock exchange Thurs-
day also can be expected to trigger new rounds of regulatory scrutiny on computer-driven trading. Investors’ shaky confidence in the markets also took another hit. Questions about potential dangers of the superfast electronic trading systems that now dominate the U.S. stock markets ripple again through Wall Street and Washington. Stock trading now re-

Prices typically peak in the spring and again in late August and early September, so the situation we are seeing is normal,� he said. “Beef demand is looking good and has weathered the struggling economy, but higher feeding costs and market volatility have kept these improvements from trickling back to cattle producers.� Riley said the potential for a record national corn crop should help moderate feed prices. “Overall, cattle producers are experiencing favorable conditions,� he said. “Feed costs are coming down, and animal prices are holding steady with last year, which was an above-average year.�

Wife wants her husband to show her some sugar DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Ray,” and I have been together for eight years, married for one. He is a great husband who works hard, is responsible, healthy, and he does half the household chores. He also tries to stay in great shape. We have a lot in common. My only problem is how Ray shows his love for me. Ray says he expresses his love by doing what needs to be done -- repairs, yard work, grocery shopping, etc. I appreciate it, but it doesn’t feel like love to me. I’d like him to buy me flowers, send me handwritten notes, take me to romantic candlelit dinners, etc. I reciprocate by giving him back rubs, baking him his favorite pie and buying him small gifts. How can I get my husband to understand that it would be good for our marriage to give each other these “extra” acts of sweetness? We have talked about it, but he hasn’t changed. -- DEMONSTRATING LOVE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. DEAR DEMONSTRATING LOVE: You can’t dictate how someone “should” express love. If the gestures you’re looking for don’t come naturally, it really is defeating the purpose to demand it. Many women would kill to have a husband who demonstrated his love by doing all the things your husband does. Unless Ray has suddenly changed since your wedding, this is the person he was all during
your sevenyear courtship. The chances of him changing to any great degree are slim, so try Abigail to accept him way he Van Buren the is, and you’ll both be hapDear Abby pier. D E A R ABBY: My husband and I are in our early 30s and both have fulltime jobs. Because of our busy work schedules and a general lack of desire to be parents, we have decided not to have children. The problem is my mother. She has a small farm I was always told I would one day inherit and move back to. My degree is in agriculture, and my husband and I have been saving for this for some time. Mom now says unless we have a child to pass the farm onto, we can’t have it. I am devastated about not being able to fulfill our dream and the pressure of my mother trying to force parenthood on us. I refuse to cave to her demand, but I’m not sure how to handle myself around her. Should I cut off contact until she stops badgering me? Should I just let her remarks go? I am sad and hurt to have been put in this position. -- CORNERED IN OHIO DEAR CORNERED: People who
don’t want to be parents usually don’t make very good ones -- and to bring a child into the world to get your hands on your mother’s farm would be unfair to the child. I see no reason to cut off your mother. When she raises this subject again (and she will), tell her that even if you had a baby “to pass the farm onto,” there is no guarantee the child would want it. In the meantime, continue saving your money so you will have a sufficient down payment for a farm of your own -- no strings attached. DEAR ABBY: I have read your column for years and like it. But now I think you must be a man. I still like the column, maybe even more, but you do seem like a man. Are you one? Or is Abby a committee? -- CURIOUS IN TUCSON DEAR CURIOUS: I heard a rumor years ago that Dear Abby was an overweight, unshaven, cigar-smoking man, but I assure you it isn’t true. (I’d sure like to know who started that one.) I write my own column, and this morning when I emerged from my shower and looked in the mirror, I was definitely female. I promise to keep you posted if anything changes. (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). A lovely distraction will be part of the fun, but don’t let it consume you. The occasion calls for moderation. Too much of anything -- even a good thing -- will be a bad thing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can’t control other people’s happiness levels, but you can contribute to them. Think ahead to what the others in your group are going to want out of today’s scenario. It will only be fun for you if others are smiling. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Wherever you go, you can bet that you’ll experience it differently from the others. You have an entirely different set of criteria for deciding what is charming, interesting and cool. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be reminded of how each person operates inside territorial lines, some visible and some invisible. Being sensitive to the reactions of others will help you understand when you’re in dan-
ger of crossing the line. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Being hard on yourself is sometimes unhelpful, and other times, like today, it’s just what you need to do your best work. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You like your relationships the way you like your vocabulary: clearly defined. Today’s events will help you understand where things stand and what they mean so you don’t have to guess anymore. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes diplomacy means saying the right thing at the right time to neutralize a problem, flatter or build rapport. But today diplomacy means saying nothing at all. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Preparations will be a big part of the day’s focus. As long as you’re setting yourself up, you may as well set yourself up to win. Allow yourself double the thinking time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Like attracts like. Fire
sparks more flames. Water rises to its own level. These old sayings will be represented in the day’s events, which will have to do with you acting in kind with those around you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The secret to staying strong is pretty simple: Don’t let yourself be weak, fall apart or act in a way that is below your capability. Bad moves only lead to more of the same. Be vigilant. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People who cause others stress continually will eventually turn the environment into an unpleasant place to be. That’s why you like to defuse the tension and find ways to lead the action in a positive direction. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll have to deal with a strong personality, so remember: Just because a person can’t admit to being wrong (or say “you’re right”) doesn’t mean he or she won’t change after you’ve aired your grievances.

Referee Japan punches ticket to LLWS collapses, dies in Florida Associated Press
Associated Press
BOCA RATON, Fla. — A South Florida high school football referee has died after collapsing on the field during a preseason game. The Palm Beach Post reports that Jerry Lohmann suffered an apparent heart attack during the second quarter of the Friday night game at Olympic Heights High School. An assistant coach for the visiting team administered CPR to the 73-yearold referee, who was then carted off the field on a stretcher. Yetta Greene, athletic director of the Palm Beach County School District, says Lohmann was then transported to West Boca Medical Center, where he later died. Officials say Lohmann was a longtime referee in the Western Communities Football League and had been scheduled to work a game Saturday.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Defense, finesse, power and poise. As usual, Japan has it all, and it is returning to the Little League World Series title game again. Takuma Gomi led off the top of the sixth inning with a tiebreaking home run, and Tokyo beat Tijuana, Mexico, 3-2 on Saturday to win the international title. It was the 11th win a row in the international bracket for Japan, which hasn’t lost a game since 2009. Japan will make its sixth appearance in eight years in the World Series finals and will play either Chula Vista, Calif., or Westport,
Conn., on Sunday. The U.S. title game was played later Saturday. Japan and Mexico have faced off 15 times in World Series history, and Japan improved to 10-5 against its rival when Gomi homered over the wall in right-center field. “I was happy when I hit it — not because I hit a home run but because it gave our team the lead,” Gomi said. “I was just trying to get on base, so I let the ball come in deeper. That’s why it went to right field.” Mexico was after a payback of sorts, having dropped a 5-2 decision to Japan on Wednesday. The Tokyo team
confounded Tijuana manager Francisco Fimbres, powering to the victory behind home runs by starting pitcher Kazuki Ishida and Seiya Nishin, and hitting three doubles. “We thought Japan would play small ball, and they changed strategy,” Fimbres said. “They were free-swinging it. I think it’s important to have a lot of patience. Our pitchers may have to be a lot smarter. Two mistakes cost us two home runs.” Another huge mistake on Saturday cost Mexico again. With the score tied at 2, Brandon Montes led off the bottom of the fifth with a double down the left-field
line. The next batter, Martin Gonzalez, was fooled for strike three but reached base when Japan catcher Ryusei Hirooka’s throw pulled the first baseman off the bag. Montes moved to third, and Mexico’s vociferous fans chanted, ‘Let’s go Mexico.’ Keita Saito relieved and struck out Mendoza. Japan then got a huge break. Saul Favela slammed a high fly to deep center, and Montes took a few steps toward home, stopped, and didn’t have time to go back and tag up. He was stranded at third when Brandon Meza struck out as FimPlease see LLWS | 11A
Knepp, Whitten sign with Blue Mountain Special to the Daily Corinthian
BLUE MOUNTAIN — Haley Knepp and Nicki Whitten, a pair of standout softball players at Northeast Mississippi Community College, have signed to play with Blue Mountain College after a year at the University of North Alabama. “Haley and Nicki will be a big help to us going into the Southern States Conference,” BMC coach Kevin Barefield said. Knepp, an outfielder from Kossuth High School, and Whitten, an infielder from Booneville, decided to transfer after a coaching change at UNA. “We are fortunate that they wanted to finish out their careers at BMC.” Whitten hit .311 in 60 games at UNA, with 11 doubles, a triple and five home runs. She drove in 36 runs and had 80 total bases. As a sophomore at Northeast, she hit .322 in 26 games with five doubles, three triples and four homers, and drove in 24 runs. The speedy Knepp played mostly as a pinch-runner at UNA, scoring 24 runs in 43 games. During her sophomore year at NEMCC, she hit .336 with five doubles and four triples while driving in 23 runs and scoring 39 runs.

Selig, MLB honor civil rights pioneers Associated Press
CHICAGO — Major League Baseball has made significant strides from the days of segregation and bigotry, but some of the sport’s top figures say the work is not complete. Commissioner Bud Selig, Hall of Famers and current players honored Jackie Robinson and other civil rights heroes at an awards luncheon in downtown Chicago before MLB’s Civil Rights Game between the White Sox and the Texas Rangers on Saturday night. “We salute the pioneers who enriched our game and, by extension, our culture,” Selig said. “Their courage, their leadership, were vital in the transformation of baseball into the social institution that it is today. They were
among the many brave souls who helped change the direction of our nation.” Weekend events, sponsored by the Chicago White Sox, coincided with commemorations of the 50th anniversary of the civil rights march on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King’s landmark “I Have a Dream” speech. The Beacon Awards honored retired major leaguer Bo Jackson and entertainer Aretha Franklin. Selig praised the legacy of Robinson, who broke color barrier in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers. “The dawn of Jackie’s career remains baseball’s proudest and most powerful moment,” Selig said. “Our game has set Jackie’s legacy on a pedestal,
allowing each new generation to learn how one baseball player changed the course of the United States of America through the sheer power of his magnificent example.” Robinson’s Number 42 has been retired by all 30 Major League Baseball clubs. After retiring in 1957, Robinson switched to private business. But daughter Sharon said Robinson also committed himself as a fundraiser for the NAACP and as a civil rights activist. “We as a family have to have a legacy and our legacy is social change,” Sharon Robinson said her father told her. “And our first mission as a family out into the movement is going to be the (1963) March on Washington. That was my brothers’ and my in-
troduction to the Civil Rights movement. “So that 50th anniversary means a great deal to me because it not only chanced America but it changed my family.” Frank Robinson, who broke color barrier as MLB’s first African-American manager, related a conversation he had about responsibility with Jackie Robinson following the Dodger legend’s retirement. “I sat down with him and talked for a couple of hours about baseball and life and the game away from the field,” said Frank Robinson, now an MLB executive. “We talked about life away from the field and what responsiPlease see MLB | 11A
Meyer began SEC title run, now wants to finish it Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Urban Meyer had officially been the head coach at Ohio State for maybe 10 minutes when he was hit with his first question about his old conference. So, is the Southeastern Conference better than the Big Ten, and if so, why? “It’s obvious that the SEC right now is dominant,” the ex-Florida coach said in November 2011 at his first news conference as new head man of the Buckeyes. “It’s a faster league than the Big Ten. Does it mean it’s a better league? Yeah, it’s
the best conference in college football. Does it mean the Big Ten’s far behind? I don’t think it’s that far. I think you’ll see the game change again. It changes all the time.” Since Meyer spoke those words the SEC has won two more national championships, stretching to seven its unprecedented domination of the college game’s landscape. No conference had ever won even three consecutive titles since The Associated Press began its poll in 1936. It was Meyer who lit the fuse on that string of success, winning the
title after the 2006 season. More than most, he knows what makes the SEC such a powerhouse. Does he have any insight into what it will take for Ohio State or Oregon or Stanford or someone else to break through? “I don’t think it’s just the Big Ten, I think everyone is chasing the SEC,” Meyer said last month in Chicago at the Big Ten’s preseason get-together. “And it’s well-deserved. If you look in the (NFL) draft, that’ll answer it. There are just more (SEC) guys getting drafted. That doesn’t mean the Big Ten doesn’t have great play-
ers. There are great players in the Big Ten conference. “The SEC has more great players.” The SEC’s control of the sport began with Meyer during his days at Florida with a landslide 41-14 victory over unbeaten and No. 1 Ohio State in the 2006 season’s national title game. After another SEC school, LSU, routed the Buckeyes again a year later, Meyer and the Gators added another crystal trophy in 2008. The SEC’s iron grip on No. 1 has continued to this day. Now Meyer is at Ohio State and is on the other
side, trying to break that streak. He concedes it may help that he has insight into what it might take to do that because of his up-close look at the SEC in his six years at Florida (2005-10) and another year spent as a college football analyst at ESPN. “I know the highest level,” he said. “Yep. I think it helps, to answer your question.” But he backed away from making any promises that this might be the year the domination ends or that his Buckeyes might be the team to do it. “I’m not worried about
the SEC,” he said recently during Ohio State’s preparation for its 2013 opener. “I’m worried about the Big Ten.” A glance at the preseason AP poll doesn’t appear to show that anyone is gaining ground on the SEC. Alabama, winner of the last two national titles and three of the last four, is a clear-cut choice as No. 1. Ohio State is second, but there are five SEC teams in the top 10 for the second year in a row in the initial poll. Georgia is No. 5, South Carolina No. 6, Please see MEYER | 11A

bilities me coming in (to manage) and the people of my color appearing in the game at the time.” Current Texas manager Ron Washington has a team with players from nine different nations. Still, Robinson’s message resonates. “It’s very important and the one thing we try to do each and every day is make sure that they understand the history of the game so they can be thankful of where they are and what they’re capable of doing,” Washington said. “Because at one time they couldn’t do it.” Former home run king Hank Aaron said baseball needs to continue to ensure minority players feel welcome. “I think about is all the trials and tribulations that Jackie Robinson went through,” Aaron said. “For me to come back and break a record like the one that Babe Ruth held for such a long time showed that everybody -- if given the same opportunity to play this game -- can do the same thing.”
MEYER CONTINUED FROM 10A
Texas A&M and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel are at No. 7 and Florida is at No. 10. By the way, the SEC’s coaches don’t even think Manziel — who gave the conference its fourth Heisman winner in the last six years — is the best quarterback in the league. They picked Georgia’s Aaron Murray as preseason first team. Is it any wonder that some coaches and schools are getting tired of hearing about the SEC? “Don’t talk to me about the SEC. Let’s compare specific programs,” Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said at the Big Ten preseason meetings. “The whole SEC isn’t Alabama, isn’t LSU, isn’t Georgia. Let’s talk about certain teams. . There are some teams in the SEC that are trying to bridge the gap to be us. Everybody wants to lump the whole SEC into one category. Let’s not go there.”

bres boiled. “I think the nerves got to him,” Fimbres said. “It’s a play we’ve practiced all summer. It was the perfect setup for a sacrifice fly. He knew he was supposed to run. He’s 13 and he’s human. He’s going to make mistakes. I’m still proud of him. We have to remember these are still kids.” Moments later, Gomi put his team ahead with a homer off reliever Jorge Romero. He was then mobbed by his teammates. “I was relieved when the game was over,” Japan manager Masumi Omae said. “It was a nerveracking game with all the pitching decisions and the pressure. We told the kids going in that we would go all out to win. Every pitcher had to be ready to throw “I really thought he (Montes) was coming home on that fly ball. When he didn’t, I felt really fortunate.” Mexico threatened one last time in the sixth but was foiled by Japan’s stout defense. Jorge Rodriguez led off with a single and was forced at second on Romero’s sacrifice attempt. Luis Manzo then hit a grounder into the hole at shortstop, and Sho Miyao gloved it and got the force at second on a close play. Mexico challenged the call, but it stood. Miguel Artalejo grounded to short to end it.

Reenactor to portray key officer in Battle of Iuka Greenwood Historian/ Educator Larry McCluney and his wife, Annette (as Rebecca Chalmers), will take part in the Battle of Iuka Civil War ReEnactment next Friday through Sunday. McCluney, a War Between the States living historian since 1996, will portray an officer and an enlisted man. He is a teacher in the Greenwood Public School System where he has taught classes in U.S. History (1877-Present), Economics, U.S. Government, Mississippi Studies, and World Geography. James Ronald Chalmers (Jan. 11, 1831-April 9, 1898) was an American politician and a brigadier general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. In March 1861, Chalmers enlisted in the Confederate Army as a captain,
and despite having no prior military experience, he was elected Colonel of the 9th Mississippi Infantry Regiment the following month. Stationed at Pensacola, Fla., during the first few months of the war, Col. Chalmers was promoted to brigadier general on Feb. 13, 1862, and later fought under Gen. Withers at the Battle of Shiloh on April 6. In July, Gen. Chalmers’ force of nearly 5,000 infantry engaged in battle with Union Col. Philip Sheridan at a forward outpost near Booneville, Miss. During the subsequent Battle of Booneville, Gen. Chalmers was defeated by the 31-yearold Union officer both by superior weaponry and by repeatedly moving Union troops off military transport trains and deceiving enemy forces into believing that Sheridan’s com-
mand (only numbering 827 men) was much larger than their own. Despite this embarrassing defeat, Gen. Chalmers went on to have a successful military career. He took part in the Kentucky Campaign under Gen. Braxton Bragg and as a brigade commander at the Battle of Stones River, where he was wounded at “Hell’s Half-Acre.” In 1863, Chalmers was appointed commander of the District of Mississippi and East Louisiana before his transfer to the first division of Maj. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest’s cavalry corps the following year. Earning the nickname “Little ‘Un” while under Gen. Forrest, Chalmers saw action in Confederate military operations in North Mississippi, Kentucky, and West Tennessee, as well as service with the Confederate
Army of Tennessee during Lt. Gen. John B. Hood’s 1864 campaign. He was paroled in Gainesville, Ala., on May 10, 1865. In the years following the war, Chalmers returned to Mississippi where he resumed his law career, and as a prominent Mississippi political figure during Reconstruction, served as a member of the state senate from 1876 to 1877. After Mississippi’s readmission into the Union, Chalmers was elected a U.S. representative for the state for three terms in 1877, 1878, and 1882, respectively. Failing in three other bids for election contested by John R. Lynch and Van H. Manning, Chalmers retired from politics and, in 1888, moved to Memphis, Tenn., where he continued his law practice until his death in 1898.

How do you assess what in life is too expensive? Is it based on money, time, or perhaps commitment? Perhaps it’s based on the impact on others. Expense is relative and has a different meaning for each person. Perception of expense is affected by practicality, finances, lifestyle, personality, income, and experiences. The degree to which something is essential or discretionary impacts whether or not it is viewed as too expensive. There are too many examples of people living beyond their means in order to acquire non-essential things. Their bills accumulate faster than they can pay them off. When you can’t afford to pay for a discretionary purchase, it’s too expensive. Wealth is accumulated by living below your means. Conversely, living beyond your means is a formula for constant struggle. Amassing debt that grows beyond your ability to pay it off is a persistent source of stress. Ironically, many of those people who don’t hesitate to spend beyond their means rarely invest in themselves. You invest in yourself through education and self-development. Most material goods you buy have a finite life span and begin dropping in value right after they are purchased. Money spent improving yourself is an investment that lasts your lifetime. Investing in yourself provides numerous benefits. Your marketability and earning potential are enhanced. New opportunities become available. You gain new skills and abilities or improve existing ones. You become more adept at achieving your goals and overcoming obstacles. Your life becomes richer and more satisfying. Surprisingly, people put off investing in themselves with the excuse that it’s too expensive. They claim they don’t have the money or the time. This approach is both flawed and short sighted. Investing in yourself should be a priority. Time flies by too fast. An investment in yourself that is delayed invariably never takes place. If you think education is too expensive, try ignorance. It’s actually too expensive to postpone investing in yourself. There will be
countless missed opportunities and constant regret when you don’t Bryan attend to Golden your own developDare to Live ment. You Without Limits are never too old or too young to get started. Lack of money is only an excuse, never a legitimate reason, to ignore yourself. There are numerous options for low or no cost options available for acquiring new knowledge and skills. You can start with your local library which is a treasure house of resources. The Internet provides a virtually limitless assortment of free education on just about any subject. Invest in yourself with your time and money before spending on discretionary items. This approach takes self-discipline. The benefits of this strategy are long lasting. You can lose money and possessions but your education will always be with you. Don’t accumulate more debt than you can repay. Avoid turning to spending as on outlet to mask problems. Overspending might be distracting in the short term, but it quickly creates new problems while exacerbating existing ones. In addition to money, you spend your time. Time that is wasted on useless or negative pursuits can never be recovered. Time is actually more valuable than money because you can never get more of it. Be discriminating with your time. Spend it wisely. Saving money should be a non-discretionary priority. This money will accumulate and be available for emergencies or for taking advantage of future opportunities. Constantly assess how you are spending your time and money. Make corrections as needed. If you get off track, make immediate adjustments.

Brigadier General Frank Armstrong everything changed, and the fate was sealed for thousands of wounded and killed at Corinth; six weeks in the future. Armstrong was informed the Union was abandoning West Tennessee and the enemy soldiers were already breaking camp and heading for Memphis. In a matter of weeks Mississippi and West Tennessee would be free of the enemy! Too bad for them every word Villepigue said was wrong; Grant wasn’t going anywhere. Frank took the news as gospel and decided, without authorization, to cancel his ride around Corinth and make a raid into Tennessee. He figured if the enemy was pulling out there would be easy pickings to be had and he could capture plenty of supplies and prisoners. After all, the vital information about Corinth which Van Dorn and Price were waiting for was moot if the enemy was
leaving. Wasn’t it? Armstrong took his column north and crossed the state line into Tennessee. On the 30th he got into a fight near Middleburg that lasted most of the day. The afternoon ended with a rare mounted cavalry charge with sabers clanging and flashing in the sun. The fight was less than Frank had hoped for and resulted in just a few dozen enemy prisoners. He also learned that nearby Bolivar was heavily defended behind strong earthworks, not exactly the pushover Villepigue had described. Frank shrugged off the disappointments and continued the ride north the following morning. A lone regiment, the 45th Illinois Infantry, was guarding a number of trestles along the tracks of the Mississippi Central Railroad. Armstrong was headed for Jackson and gobbled up a number of small detachments, burning the bridges they had
been guarding. They passed through Toone and Teague and were bearing down on Medon, capturing men of the 45th Illinois as they advanced. Medon, however, was not so easily taken. The Union soldiers at this obscure little railroad station had learned of the Confederate cavalry force coming toward them and planned as best they could. There were a number of cotton bales next to the depot and they were quickly placed around the station into an impromptu fort. It was a good idea, those compressed bales were as hard as iron. 150 men crouched behind the walls of the little fort and waited. The Confederates outnumbered the Federals twenty to one. Charge after charge was made against the little band of defenders who held out until a train load of reinforcements arrived from Jackson. I tell you, Hollywood can’t tell a story as great as the real defense of Medon by just a handful of men. Sometime during the night Armstrong had a change of heart and decided it was time to turn around and head back for Mississippi. He could feel the enemy closing in around him and he was right; thousands of troops were either on the alert or on the march. Frank decided to lead his cavalry northwest to Denmark and then turn to the south where there was a good crossing of the Hatchie River. He had a number of local Tennessee boys in the ranks and along the way one of them told him of a little road, a short-cut, through the property of a local farmer, Adolphus Britton. The path was called Britton’s Lane. Unfortunately for Armstrong a brigade of Union infantry had decided to use the same road. The Federals had learned of the fight at Medon and were on their way to lend a hand. Neither side was expecting to find the enemy on the little farm road. The ensuing fight was nearly a disaster for Armstrong. He sent charge after charge, on horseback and dismounted, against
This Week in the Civil War
Historian to portray life of Confederate president’s spouse Mrs. Jefferson Davis will be portrayed by Mrs. Joan Howard of Frankfort, Kentucky during next weekend’s Battle of Iuka Reenactment and living history event. Activities will be held next Friday through Sunday. Mrs. Howard and her late husband, Cliff, became fascinated with the Civil War several years ago. Their expertise enlivened civic meetings, historic presentations, history clubs, re-enactments, parades, school and civic events, family reunions, political rallies, patriotic events, store openings, fundraisers, and community festivals. Mrs. Howards says, “Being children of the Bluegrass makes all Kentuckians special, including the two who led the divided nation during the Civil War. It has been our pleasure to bring The President and the First Lady to life.” Not all authors agree on the First Lady’s contribution while at her husband’s side. Mrs. Howard, as Mrs. Jefferson Davis, will present views from several authors. You can draw your own conclu-
sions as Mrs. Davis discusses these views during the 151st Battle of Iuka Re-Enactment. “History made alive is remembered” that is why she makes this effort to present: “A Living History.” President Jefferson Finis Davis (1808 – 1889) will be portrayed by Philip McGourty of St. Louis, Missouri. Schedule of Appearances:
Friday 9 a.m. to 2:15 Education Day Battlefield Site 8:30 p.m. Jay Bird Park Public Greeting and Photographs
Saturday 7:00 a.m. Iuka Methodist Church Breakfast Event (100 seats available) 9:40 a.m. Mineral Springs Park Re-Enactor Promenade 3:30 p.m. Shady Grove Cemetery Memorial Service (spectator) 7:00 p.m. Kitchen’s Farm Grand Ball Be sure to also visit Mrs. Jefferson Davis on Sunday at
the Union position on a small hill. A soldier from the 2nd Missouri Cavalry described the carnage. “The fire was awful and under the withering blast the head of our column went down. Those behind, unable to see for the blinding dust, with the notes of the bugle sounding the charge still ringing in their ears, spurred madly forward toward the sound of the guns, only to stumble and fall over their dead and wounded comrades and horses in front until the narrow lane was completely blocked.” By the time Armstrong called off the fight he had lost over 100 killed and 200 wounded. The outnumbered Union foot soldiers suffered a mere 5 killed and 50 wounded though the Confederates did capture a small wagon train of over a hundred Federals on the sick list. In an effort to soften the blow, Armstrong fudged the numbers in his official report. Frank returned to Mississippi with a casualty list of over 350 but without the vital information he had been sent to gather. How important was the info? Had Armstrong followed his orders he would have found the Union troops in Corinth numbered nearly 30,000 strong. They were busy too; building seven forts close into the depot and the railroad crossing. As it was, Van Dorn started the campaign in late September with no knowledge of the inner “Rosecrans Line,” and under the belief there were only 15,000 men in Corinth. News he could have used earlier. Even worse, all the activity around Bolivar and Jackson led General Grant to bring more soldiers into the Bolivar area, the very troops who were on hand to fight with Van Dorn at Davis Bridge the day after the Battle of Corinth. Next time you are headed to Jackson on Hwy 45 look for the little sign directing you to the Britton Lane Battlefield. Go for a visit. You can’t understand the big picture of Corinth until you learn about Frank Armstrong and his raid through West Tennessee.

Editor’s Note: This series marking the 150th anniversary of the Civil War draws primarily from wartime dispatches credited to The Associated Press or other accounts distributed through the AP and other historical sources. The Associated Press reported in a dispatch dated Aug. 25, 1863: “The bombardment of (Fort) Sumter still continues, and the south wall has been demolished almost to its base.” For weeks now, Union forces have been attempting to smash through heavy Confederate defenses on islands ringing Charleston Harbor off South Carolina’s coast. The AP dispatch added that rebel batteries have answered the Union’s artillery bombardment with bursts of return fire at short intervals. Federal forces reported that their casualties are few and that “every confidence in success is felt by the officers and troops.” At one point the bombardment became so intense, AP reported, that the entire southwest side of Fort Sumter has been reduced to rubble — “nothing but a heap of ruins.” Even the Confederate flag flying above the fort was shot away during one barrage, The AP reported. In Kansas, meanwhile, authorities report the discovery 150 years ago this week of 28 bodies — part of the sectarian violence that the war has touched off in the West. Witnesses said in dispatches that the discovery of murdered civilians in one town was “heart-rending and sickening.”

Better the odds for dove limit on opening day By the time many people pick up the newspaper on this day next weekend, lots of area sportsmen will already have plans in the works to commemorate the beginning of the new fall hunting seasons. Due to the season opener being on a Sunday, however, many hunters will instead use the extra day off from work -- Labor Day -- as their coming out party. This year, partly because of how the calendar fell, the Mississippi dove season will open at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 1. Regardless of which day hunters choose to use as their opening day, all hunters want to be in a situation where the action is practically non-stop, offering them a better
chance at bagging a limit of doves. O n e sure-fire way of getDavid ting in on Green some barrel meltOutdoors ing action is by setting up near a lone snag tree or a tree with barren limbs along the prepared field’s edge in correlation with natural flight pathways for doves entering the field. Doves prefer zooming by over open terrain, but they’ll often light and perch on bare tree branches before descending onto a field. Adequate concealment to break up the hunter’s silhouette is a no-brainer
when making a set-up regardless of the location chosen, but there is one aspect that shouldn’t be overlooked: The sun should always be at the hunter’s back if at all possible. Doves whizzing by at the speed of light are hard enough to hit without being blinded by the sun. Another way to ensure more doves fly in your direction is by using decoys, which I feel most hunters don’t utilize enough. Carefully placed decoys visible to doves circling a field will often sucker birds to come in closer that would otherwise probably stay out of shotgun range. My hunting partners and I have used dove decoys with great success in the past. The types we
use are of the hard-plastic variety with clips already attached, and they can usually be found in most sporting good’s stores. Prior to a hunt, we clip two or three decoys to the top strand of a barbedwire fence in an open area near the field, leaving space for actual doves to land. You would be surprised at how many birds fall victim to the fakes. Many dove hunters have a tendency similar to that of some deer hunters and fishermen. They settle down in one specific area and, like the stand hunter or the angler that waits an eternity for the action to come to them but doesn’t, refuses to make the necessary move. Doves are creatures of habit just like any other
game species. They tend to follow a particular travel pattern, and sometimes a hunter may have to reposition himself in order to better the odds of bagging an opening day limit of doves. The only frustrating thing about making a wholesale move is what generally happens afterwards. Usually right after, two or three birds will go flying by over the spot you just left. At the end of the day though, the steady shooting you’ll get from your new spot will make you forget all about those two or three birds you let slide. Lastly, don’t forget to clean and oil the ole trusty shotgun prior to opening day. It’s been sitting up
for a while, probably since this time last year. The fun of opening day could very well be short-lived if you automatic start acting like a single-shot, making the outing frustrating and, most likely, less productive. Taking an opening day limit of doves is not easy. Better your odds by implementing the necessary steps.

Wedding witness needed? Photogs say, ‘I will’ BY BETHAN MCKERNAN Associated Press
NEW YORK — Hundreds of people get married at New York City Hall every day. Some couples forget flowers or rings, but what about the one real necessity — a witness? That’s where Goran Veljic and Braulio Cuenca
come in. Between them, the two wedding photographers have served as witnesses for thousands of couples, a duty that both markets their services and allows them to share in the happiest day of people’s lives. Between Cuenca’s 20 years as a last-minute wedding photographer
and Veljic’s four, they’ve seen almost every kind of courthouse ceremony imaginable. “It’s about the special moments,” said Cuenca, 47, who emigrated from Ecuador. “It’s just a minute in the couples’ lives that means something forever. To see that is special.”

UDC honors ancestors with train ride, candles For the Daily Corinthian
A United Daughters of the Confederacy meeting was recently held at the home of Kathryn Sewell. Club members Joan Reed and Brenda Harben were hostesses. In the absence of the club president, treasurer Sewell conducted the meeting. Club members Sewell, Reed, Jean McCalla, Pearl Gurley, Thelma Tucker, Madell Jones, and guests, Joy Rhoades and Bert Sewell were treated to a train ride from Kansas City, Mo., to the Battle of Shiloh with Confederate soldiers to fight for Southern rights. For many of the soldiers, it was their last train ride. The train ride was part of a presentation vividly recounted by the mayor of Farmington, Dale Fortenberry, the guest speaker. This historical event was recaptured for the 150th anniversary of that particular battle. Mayor Fortenberry was a part of the detachment of reenactors on the train, and one of only two Mississippians to take part in the event. He described in detail how the soldiers were received --

The train ride was part of a presentation vividly recounted by the mayor of Farmington, Dale Fortenberry, the guest speaker. sometimes not so kindly -- before they arrived at their destination in the South. They wore their gray uniforms so there was no question as to who they were and what their mission was. Once the soldiers got to Shiloh, Mayor Fortenberry was under the command of Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest. When the time came to retreat or surrender -- which neither neither was acceptable under Gen. Forrest -Fortenberry did what a true Confederate soldier would do, he gave his life for The Cause. After the mayor’s presentation, members understood much more clearly what it was really like to be a Confederate soldier. Afterwards, the hostesses served a delicious dessert plate and the meeting was adjourned. The next monthly meeting was also held at the home of Sewell. Fifteen members were present.

Complicated fun: Are theme parks going geeky? BY TAMARA LUSH Associated Press
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — Boasting obscure characters and detailed story lines, several new attractions opened at theme parks this summer in Central Florida. The new rides and areas are much different from those just a generation ago, when Dumbo the Flying Elephant was considered high tech. These days, a ride involving a simple, blue elephant just won’t cut it. Take World of Chima at Legoland, for instance. The attraction is based on a Lego building block play set and Cartoon Network show about eight animal tribes, a crocodile king, magical vehicles called Speedorz and a life force called Chi. There are epic battles over the Ancient Pool of Chi, set in a lushly landscaped tropical world. Or look at Universal’s Transformers ride. It isn’t just inspired by the toy and the movie — it’s a detailed, 3-D, “interactive battle” between the Auto-
bots and Decepticons that has its own website. Even the straightforward-sounding Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin ride at SeaWorld Orlando is about a penguin hatchling who grows up, leaves his mom, is chased by a leopard seal through a psychedelic-looking world and then reunited with his tribe of fellow birds. Real, live penguins appear at the end of the ride. When did fun become so complicated? Theme park consultants say attractions need to be more detailed in the age of video games, smartphones and 3-D TVs. And of course, parks aren’t just competing with home entertainment; they’re competing against each other for guests’ time and money, especially in the I-4 corridor, a busy highway that runs through the Orlando area. The rise of the Internet means everyone is a critic — several theme park fan blogs are devoted to dissecting the geeky details of each new attraction.
Cryptoquip
“In the 1970s we could do quite a bit in theme parks,” said John Gerner, the managing director of Leisure Business Advisors LLC. “Nowadays, it’s hard to provide a typical music show. There just isn’t that much of a thrill anymore.” Attraction designers have a difficult job: They must present a story to guests of all ages, from all walks of life. “It’s got to be layered and it’s got to work on a number of different levels,” said Phil Hettema, a California-based theme park designer. “It’s got to work on the kids, the adults. It’s pretty tricky. You’re trying to convey a lot for those who don’t know it. You have to give the newcomer enough clues.” With an established story like Transformers, many people have seen the 1980s TV cartoon, and many more the movie franchise. So even if Universal’s intense, dark ride involves a new story or is incredibly detailed, most people can follow the nar-
rative. Same with Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Many of the visitors are familiar with the story, either through J.K Rowling’s books or the blockbuster movies. Yet familiarity also has its pitfalls for theme park designers: Rabid fans know when a detail is out of place. Scott Thomas, Cartoon Network’s vice president of consumer marketing, says he’s gotten emails from the under-10 set about inconsistencies and questions in the storyline for the Chima cartoon. “Kids today have very high expectations,” he said. “And the storylines are very complex in kids’ media today.” Legoland worked with Cartoon Network writers and animators on the Chima attraction to sync details and distill the complex cartoon into basic elements. But they also recognized that not all guests have heard of Chima, said Candy Holland, senior creative director for the Legoland parent company Merlin Entertainment. So, for the uninitiated, designers used the queue line to tell the Chima story so people could be brought up to speed before boarding the water ride. “It’s a balance,” Holland said. “There are some
people who may not yet be familiar with the Chima theme. Some people come to Legoland, maybe haven’t even played with Legos yet. And it’s a great opportunity for the parents to understand why their kids are living in, and obsessed with, the World of Chima.” SeaWorld Orlando’s Antarctica is a rarity in the attractions world: It’s an entirely new story, not based on any movie, show, book or toy. “It can be done if there are some other innate aspects to the story,” said Gerner. “Penguins as animal have innate appeal.” Smaller and regional parks often have attractions with simpler concepts, but internationally, large parks are also going for the complicated narratives popping up in big parks here. Universal’s Transformers ride opened in Singapore before hitting the U.S., and a dark ride that opened in July at Lotte World, an enormous mall and entertainment complex in South Korea, revolves around a pack of dragons that descend on a castle. Riders must “seek them out and encourage them to leave,” said Hettema, who worked on the ride. It all comes down to narrative, theme park experts agree. “As storytellers, we
have to always be advocates for the guest,” said Craig Hanna, owner and chief creative officer at the Burbank, Calif.-based Thinkwell Group. “We have to make sure that whatever story we’re telling is easy for the guest to consume.” Hanna, who worked on several attractions for Universal, including the Men in Black ride, said attraction designers put a lot of thought into plot and character. Attractions must be detailed and true to the story, he said, but not so detailed that they’re confusing. Theron Skees, who works in Orlando for Disney’s creative corps, known as the “imagineers,” said the new and richly detailed themed areas in parks today are actually in line with what Walt Disney himself envisioned some six decades ago. “Storytelling has to be relevant to the culture,” he said. These days, Skees said, people are well-traveled and knowledgeable about worldwide trends — American kids are into Japanese anime, for instance — and the parks reflect this. “We’re dealing with a more sophisticated audience who are more globally aware of storytelling and genres,” he said.
Clerk injured in Hasselhoff sign theft Associated Press
SHELTON, Conn. — Connecticut police say a convenience store clerk has been critically injured trying to stop the theft of two signs featuring images of actor David Hasselhoff. Authorities say the 36-year-old clerk at a Cumberland Farms in Shelton saw a man put the signs into an SUV shortly after 1 a.m. Tuesday. Police say the worker was struck and dragged by the
SUV and landed on his head. Police say the clerk is hospitalized in critical condition, and authorities are looking for the suspects. The employee’s name hasn’t been released. Hasselhoff starred in the TV shows “Baywatch” and “Knight Rider.” The signs featuring him advertise iced coffee. Cumberland Farms officials say more than 500 of them have been stolen from stores in several states in recent months.
